To become a Gym Teacher, one must complete a 4-year bachelor's degree program and earn certification according to the educational level he or she will teach. Gym Teacher Career Summary A Gym Teacher oversees athletic classes designed to provide students with a physical fitness component to their education. Classes generally take place in a school's fitness center or gymnasium. Gym Teachers incorporate an academic or classroom portion into gym class, covering such topics as lifestyle choices and diet. This is usually done to meet school district or state requirements for what students need to learn in areas of health and fitness. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, the annual median salary for teachers ranges from $34,880-$61,090, depending on the level of education taught. Education Required To Become a Gym Teacher A career as a Gym Teacher requires the completion of a 4-year degree program, preferably a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education. Students may also choose a specific form of athletic training and physical science within their degree program, such as exercise science or health promotion, as a concentration. Aspiring Gym Teachers usually need these qualities: an interest in fitness, exercise and sport; a desire to work with and help young people; strong communication skills; and creative organizational skills."

Others charge a great deal and have to deal with overhead such as dojo rental, phones, advertising, etc. Most instructors have other businesses that provide them income and do the martial art for the love of the activity. On a good day of teaching, I can make $50 - $60 dollars, my best was $132. On other days I make $8. -------------------------------- Not much.

By Heather Wolpert-Gawron December 3, 2010 Updated January 5, 2014Photo credit: Department of Education via flickr (CC BY 2.0)I have written before in the past on various blog sites and networks about the vital equation that must exist in order for a student not to fail in our schools: Family + Student + School + Policymakers/Voters = Student Success Each variable is co-dependent on the other. Each link in the chain must do its part, pulling its weight for the goal to be achieved. To tackle this polynomial equation takes deconstructing its parts.

Can we define an outstanding lesson? No. I get asked this regularly, and I’ve really tried. But I don’t think it’s possible. I can describe a specific example of a lesson which was judged as outstanding, but that really isn’t helpful for three reasons.1) Stand alone lessons don’t provide evidence of much except the performance of the teacher and the students at that particular moment.

S. With more Americans taking a proactive role in their health, careers in the health and fitness sectors are experiencing unprecedented growth. “In the last five years, I’ve seen trainers and athletic coaches grow their businesses by 500%,” says John Romaniello, author of Final Phase Fat Loss and founder of Roman Fitness Systems in New York City. Ten years ago, Romaniello says personal trainers were paid around $75 an hour to train one person. Today, there’s been a shift in training methods and many instructors now take on four clients per hour at $60 each. Additionally, things like “bootcamps,” outdoor group classes with up to 40 people, are also big money-makers for fitness pros. “Today, instructors are making $240 an hour, but the clients are happy, too, because they’re paying less overall,” says Romaniello. “ With bootcamps, you can charge 30 people $20 per class without the overhead of a studio rental, and all of a sudden you’re making $600 an hour. ”For those interested in pursuing a career in health and fitness fields, Todd Galati, spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise, says the current environment makes for an easy transition. “Public awareness is up that fitness is not only for the fit,” says Galati. “ Fitness professionals aren't just working in gyms."

It is depicted as a hand with an eye, or other symbol in the palm. When it comes to the hamsa tattoo, it can hold these meanings (or many others), but it can come in plenty of designs. These days, people like to get a unique hamsa tattoo and they will use one or more meanings that encapsulate who they are. Hamsa means “five” in the Hebrew and Arabic languages. This five symbolizes the five fingers on a hand and the five senses that human beings have. In a way, a hamsa tattoo can represent humanity as a whole when given these meanings. When someone does use the five fingers and five sense meaning, they might feel like the hamsa tattoo holds just about any meaning that they want to give to it on any given day. Many believe that the hamsa symbol represents protection, bravery, confidence, calm, or all of the above. Someone who is both patient and protective might find that the hamsa tattoo is the best design for them since there aren’t too many other tattoo designs that can hold both of those meanings simultaneously."

"text": "Signs & Gestures Some are fully aware of the symbolic gestures of the Freemasons and Illuminati, and others haven‘t a clue. But do you know that Jesus Christ also had hand signals but where did they originate? The sign in which His first two fingers and His thumb are extended, and His third and fourth finger are closed emerged in early Christian art as the ‘sign of the benediction’ or blessing. It is important to also note that in these stances of which Christ was depicted, He also made these gestures with His right hand. This being the hand with which He did His blessings. The left hand has always been associated with the occult and esoteric. Some say this originated with the Roman art and gained popularity as a Christian symbol shortly after Constantine’s issue of the Edict of Milan in 313 A. D. As Christian art evolved, these symbols, including the hand gestures, began to take on deeper mystical meaning and significance. With the thumb open, the three digits came to represent the Trinity (The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), while the two closed represented the dual nature of the Christ both as man and GOD. As time passed, the early Church began to split into different segregations and thusly, around the second century A. D., the symbol for both the blessings likewise split into different sects. The Greek Orthodox church began to make use of the symbol derived from a common abbreviation of the Greek version of Christ’s Name."

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

The word Hamsa, חמסה (CHAM-sah), is an Arabic word meaning five, which is derived from the same root as the Hebrew word for five, חמש (chah-MESH). The Hamsa is most commonly used as a sign of protection to defend against negative spiritual forces caused by the jealousy of others, colloquially known as the ayin hara, or evil eye. Depicting an image of the open right hand, the Hamsa symbol appears in both Kabbalistic manuscripts and talisman. Each finger of the hand symbolizes one of the five books of Moses. In Kabbalah, the Hamsa represents the hand of the Creator, which is the ultimate defense against all evil. The Hamsa also signifies blessings, strength, and power, and is commonly placed near doorways of the home. A Hamsa often contains other symbols, such as an eye, a Chai symbol, or a Jewish star. The Hamsa is also a popular design on all types of jewelry, meant to evoke protection for the one wearing it."

The wondrous execution of a Chopin piece, or an objet d' art fabricated carefully by a master hand--they constantly evoke a sense of joy and wonder within us. The Spirit within us responds positively to the beauty, the harmony, and the symmetry of sound and form as manifested by Nature and human hands. God's gift to man is the freedom of choice and the will to implement that choice. On the physical plane, the hands are naturally the instruments of that will and divine blessing and have come to symbolize Man, or Adam; for only beings on the evolutionary level of man are given the prerogative to determine their own fate. It is said that not even angels have this freedom to choose, for their nature compels them to abide by the divine law. Man on the other hand, through choice, learns what it means to align himself with, or to disobey Cosmic laws. Man learns the consequences of his actions, and wise is he who takes responsibility for them. Through choice man succumbs to his lower nature and builds pandemonium in his mind and heart or he may give ear to the prompting of his divine Self and form the New Jerusalem--the new abode of peace in the lower aspects of his microcosm that this condition may become ingrained in his character and nature.

In its most common form, the amulet is shaped like a hand with three extended fingers in the middle and a curved thumb or pinky finger on either side. It is thought to protect against the “ evil eye .\"\" It is used in many decorative forms such as wall hangings, but most often in the form of jewelry--necklaces or bracelets. The hamsa is most often associated with Judaism, but is also found in some branches of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism and other traditions, and has also been adopted by modern New Age spirituality. Meaning and Origins The word hamsa (חַמְסָה) comes from the Hebrew word hamesh , which means five. Hamsa refers to the fact that there are five fingers on the talisman, though some also believe it represents the five books of the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). Sometimes it is called the Hand of Miriam, who was Moses’ sister. In Islam, the hamsa is called the Hand of Fatima, in honor of one of the daughters of the Prophet Mohammed. Some say that, in Islamic tradition, the five fingers represent the Five Pillars of Islam."

"text": "\"Good Luck Symbols and Their Meanings to Make Your Kismet Shine Rich or poor, happy or sad, the only thing that binds us together is luck. While we believe luck favors a few, all of us try our level best to be the lucky ones. To garner luck, each of us ensures we have a lucky symbol close at hand. Let's decipher the meaning of these lucky symbols in this Buzzle article. \"\" Inspiration is one thing and you can't control it, but hard work is what keeps the ship moving. Good luck means, work hard. Keep up the good work. \"\" -Kevin Eubanks ____________________________Of all the things they say about luck, the truth is that luck is blind. We never really know when a person can be deemed lucky, and when it's sheer bad luck that befalls him. All we diligently do is keep the symbols we associate with luck, close at hand."

"text": "Jewelry Symbols Meaning – What Jewelers Should Know March 6, 2014 · by ELF925 · in Blog Archive Share This: Jewelry including bracelets, earrings, rings, charms and pendants can have various symbols that hold varying meanings. Choosing jewelry that holds a meaning is a great way to remind yourself of an idea or to communicate to others the values that you hold in a concise, visual fashion. Lucky Clover Meaning It’s believed that finding a Four Leaf Clover may change your life for the better. Therefore, a Lucky Clover is not an ordinary symbol because it’s a traditional symbol of Good Luck. It is the ideal jewelry symbol if you feel you’d like someone to hold your hand in important occasions in your life or just to bring luck everyday of your life. Each leaf represents something; the first for faith, the second for hope, the third for love and the fourth for luck. Heart Meaning If you are looking for a sign of love, you can go for heart-shaped jewelry. Such jewelry can also represent attraction, affection, cohesion, unity, femininity and sensuality. Hamsa Meaning You can identify Hamsa jewelry because it’s palm-shaped, particularly the right hand. The symbol is recognized for protection purposes."

The name refers to the five fingers of this sacred hand which is a popular symbol all over the Middle East and North Africa. The hamsa is referred to alternatively as the hand of Miriam, the hand of Mary, or the hand of Fatima, depending on whether it is Jewish, Christian or Muslim. All three religions, however, revere it as a sign of protection. In addition to this collection of artisanal wall-hanging hamsas, you should also check out our hamsa jewelry .

"title": "http://www.womenridersnow.com/pages/story_detail.aspx?id=3938\nMOTORCYCLE REVIEW: 2012 Harley-Davidson FLD Dyna Switchback, with Video",
"text": "Once in a while, a motorcycle is introduced that I believe has “woman rider” written all over it. The 2012 Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback is one of those motorcycles. Why do I think this? Because it is a purpose-built touring motorcycle designed for riders who can’t or don’t want to handle the large touring motorcycles—and that description fits the majority of women riders. Genevieve rides the Harley-Davidson Dyna Switchback, an all-new model for 2012. Fuel tank capacity is 4.7 gallons, and the bike gets an estimated 42 mpg. The large touring bikes, often termed “baggers” because of their abundant storage space, are built on a chassis designed for long-distance riding comfort and come from the factory with accessories and components, like a windshield and floorboards, that increase comfort when traveling for long stretches of time. Because the average height of women is between 5-foot-4 and 5-foot-5, the majority of women riders find it difficult to maneuver these large motorcycles. Women want to experience all the benefits of touring on two wheels, but they desire a bike with all the creature comforts and handling of a large touring motorcycle, but in a lighter, more manageable package. Enter the Switchback."

"text": "What are the lowest motorcycle seat heights? Posted on 21st March, 2018 by Mark Hinchliffe One of the barriers to more people enjoying our favourite recreation is the traditionally high motorcycle cramb;ereat which precludes many women and shorter people. Now you can check the seat heights of your favourite motorcycles and compare them with the comprehensive list we have at the end of this article. Thankfully, motorcycle companies are starting to acknowledge the problem of high seats. Companies such as Harley-Davidson even produce “Lo” and “Low” variants with much lower seats. In fact, the lowest motorcycle seat height on the market for a full-sized bike is the Harley Softail Slim at just 605mm with a rider on board. Laden and unladen Seat height measurements are sometimes provided by manufacturers in laden and unladen forms which shows how much the bike sags under the common load of 75kg. For example, Harley lists the new learner-approved Street 500 as having a 709mm seat height unladen dropping down to a more comfortable 654mm laden. However, most seat heights are given as unladen, so you can take off another couple of centimetres once you are aboard. Add a pillion and some luggage and it drops again."

In time he learned to construct mechanical modes of transportation such as ships, cars, airplanes, trains, and motorcycles. Motorcycles are also known as motorbikes, bikes, or cycles. They are two-wheeled motor vehicles that are suited for navigating in congested traffic and racing. They are the most common types of vehicles that are used by most people because of their affordability. One of the most popular manufacturers of motorcycles is the Harley-Davidson or Harley. It was founded in the early 20th century and has survived the Great Depression and stiff competition from other motorcycle manufacturers. It is known for its heavyweight motorcycles with distinctive designs and customization. It offers several beautiful classic designs such as: Sportster which are produced since 1957 and are powered by V-twin engines, have five speeds, rubber isolation mounts to reduce vibration, and hydraulic shock absorbers on both wheels. V-Twin Racing Street Custom (VRSC) which is a cruiser motorcycle produced since 2001; has a 60 degree V-twin engine with the fuel tank located underneath the seat rather than in front."

Thanks Share this conversation Answered in 43 minutes by: 2/17/2010Motorcycle Mechanic: Steve Hi David,all Harleys have a 2 cylinder V-twin engine. Softails go around 650 pounds.if you need an exact weight, I need to know if you need the dry weight or the ride ready weight. Steve Ask Your Own Motorcycle Question Hi Steve,I just bought this bike out of Arkansas, and am registering it in NY. They are looking for \"\"unladen\"\" weight on the registration form. Arkansas titles don't provide that info and the bike didn't come with an owners manual. Thanks,David David,unladen leans no rider.the bike has about a 630 pound dry weight and holds about 40 pounds of fluids, including fuel. I believe for you purposes, 650 pounds should be sufficient.

"text": "ABS Brakes Vs. Non ABS Brakes Posted on August 22, 2012Reply ABS BRAKES VS. NON ABS BRAKESFor the 2008 model year Harley Davidson introduced an ABS braking system for the VROD and touring models. I want to take a few minutes to explain how these systems work, their benefits and possible downfall on a motorcycle. Here are what the front calipers that use ABS look like. Let’s start off with the fact that a motorcycle is obviously a 2 wheeled vehicle which changes the dynamics of it’s stopping ability compared to that of cars. It’s weight also plays a role in it’s ability to stop along with the riding skill of the driver. Contrary to the popular belief of many riders, the front brakes are where most of your stopping power lies, especially on a bike that has two front rotors. I was taught to use front brakes only unless in a panic stop situation very early on in my riding career. The front dual disc brakes on most bikes are more than strong enough to slow a bike from speed (depending on the weight and size) to safely stop."

"text": "HARLEY DAVIDSONModels & History20in production17discontinuedhistory Harley-Davidson is probably the most famous motorcycle manufacturer in the world and is based in the United States, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Even tough they consider 1903 as their starting year, they could just as well consider 1901, because it was then when Bill Harley completed the first blueprint of a Harley engine. In 1903, the same Bill Harley and Arthur Davidson revealed their first motorized effort, calling it the first Harley motorcycle. It was a racing bike, built in a wood shed that had Harley-Davidson Motor Company scrawled on it. That same year, Arthur's brother - Walter Davidson - joined the company. In a very short time, the first Harley-Davidson dealer opens shop (1904) and manages to sell three Harley bikes. In true American style, a Harley model wins a 15 mile race in Chicago in 1905 and the same year Harley Motor Company hires its first employee. A year later, they open up a bigger factory and hire five more people. The same year (1906), they produce the first motorcycle catalog in the world. In 1909, Harley-Davidson introduces its first V-twin bike with an 1000cc engine which developed 7 horsepower and three years later the Bar & Shield logo is used for the first time and patented as a trademark."

"text": "We took every dimension of a great motorcycle and made it better,” says Harley-Davidson’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Matt Levatich. He’s talking about the new Street Glide Special and its FL-category cousins, all key players in Project Rushmore, a massive program that he describes as the “most significant product launch in the entire 110 years of the company’s history. ”Project Rushmore is, ahem, a mountain of enhancements made to eight 2014 models: Road King, Street Glide, Street Glide Special, Electra Glide Ultra Classic, Ultra Limited, Tri Glide Ultra and the CVO Ultra Limited and CVO Road King. Collectively, these bikes have received more than 100 renovations, many of them major, including new High Output versions of the Twin Cam 103 engine (some liquid-cooled, some not); a sophisticated, linked ABS system; upgraded suspension; a state-of-the-art infotainment system and a complete makeover of fairing, fenders and luggage systems. Yet the bikes are still utterly recognizable. And herein lay the brilliance, and the challenge, for America’s most beloved brand. No one hates it when a new Harley looks and sounds like a Harley “should.” No one says, “Oh, I wish those new Harleys looked a little more contemporary.” Yet modern technology rushes headlong, and its advantages are not to be overlooked.

My Bike (s) several Location Buford, GAPosts 5,197The proximity key fob is just a security feature, a type of kill switch, and has nothing to do with the Harley being keyless. All Harleys, and some other bikes from other manufacturers, have always been 'keyless'. You use the key only to unlock the ignition- once unlocked, you remove the key and just turn the ignition switch on and off without needing the key."

Currently portrayed as an orphan who learned to survive on Gotham City's streets, Selina took to thievery to survive... but determined to do it in style, she learned martial arts and trained extensively to perfect her skills in cat burglary. Her criminal activities are often tempered by a reluctant altruism, making her an inconstant villain and occasional ally to Batman. She regularly eludes capture by the Dark Knight and maintains a complicated, adversarial relationship with Batman that frequently turns flirtatious and occasionally, legitimately romantic. She's one of Batman's best known loves. Contents [ show]History Selina Kyle as Catwoman Origin The original and most widely known Catwoman, Selina Kyle, first appeared in Batman #1 (Spring 1940) in which she was known as The Cat. As an adversary of Batman, she was a whip-carrying burglar with a taste for high stake thefts. Modern writers have attributed her activities and costumed identity as a response to a history of abuse. Since the 1990s, Catwoman has been featured in an eponymous series that cast her as an anti-heroine rather than a supervillainess. The character has been one of Batman's most enduring love interests."

"text": "\"Stage 1 Upgrades What is a Stage 1 Upgrade? The basic purpose of a Stage One is to modify the air filter, exhaust system, and fuel metering system to run as efficiently as possible, allowing it to breathe freely and, as a result, increasing the available power. Moving more air and fuel through the engine is the fastest (and most cost-effective) ways to generate more power and torque. A free-flowing air filter and matching tuned exhaust will add performance you can really feel. Heavy breather and Stage 1 Free Flow Air Filters bring a big boost and a sweet-sounding exhaust system delivers power you can feel across a broad RPM range. Book Your Upgrade Now Free Flow Air Filter Exhaust System Super Tuner There are different interpretations and variations of what constitutes a Stage One but generally speaking it is recalibration of the air intake and exhaust systems to improve air flow, often using aftermarket accessories that are better equipped to achieve this. One important aspect of the process is that upgrading one part without the others won't give the desired effect. It also generally requires no internal engine modifications. There are a few myths concerning \"\"Stage 1/4\"\" and \"\"Stage 1/2\"\" but these would be best disregarded as they are a poor substitute for the real thing, and while certainly cheaper, they do not provide anything like the performance increases that you’re looking for. If you’ve not come across these cheap alternatives, they revolve around getting more air into the motor by drilling holes in the plastic air-filter backplate, and seem to work on the assumption that the restriction is getting air to the air filter, rather than getting air through the air filter into the engine."

"text": "There seems to be some confusion online about where the new Harley-Davidson Street 750 and Street 500 models are going to be built. Perhaps because these small, liquid-cooled bikes (priced at $7,500 and $6,700, respectively) will become the entry-level Harleys when they arrive in the second quarter of 2014, more than a few people on our website have speculated that these first all-new HDs in 13 years will be built in the company’s Bawal, India, plant, the complete knock-down (CKD) facility that has been assembling bikes since 2011. That’s partially true. But let’s be perfectly clear: All Street 750s and Street 500s for US and Canadian consumption will be built in the Harley-Davidson Vehicle and Powertrain Operations plant in Kansas City, Missouri, where there is a manufacturing line dedicated to producing the liquid-cooled Revolution X engine, a new 60-degree V-twin featuring chain-driven single overhead camshafts. On the other hand, all Street 750s and Street 500s for India, Italy, Spain, and Portugal (the only other markets at this time), will be built in Bawal, which has been expanded to a full manufacturing plant (for the Street models only) and uses parts sourced from all over the world. Of note, the Revolution X engines and six-speed transmissions for the non US and Canadian models are also built in Bawal, on an expanded manufacturing line there. By producing bikes in India—as it has done since 2011 with models such as the Super Low, Iron, 48, Street Bob, Fat Bob, Super Glide Custom, Fat Boy, Fat Boy Special, and Heritage Softail Classic—Harley avoids steep import tariffs, which has helped The Motor Company acquire a lion’s share of the heavyweight market in the world’s second most populous nation. Harley-Davidson, in a move that helps make clear the manufacturing location of its new Street models, invited its North American dealers to Kansas City this month to see for themselves that the bikes for US and Canadian consumption are being built right here in the U. S. Incidentally, Harley-Davidson says that U. S.- and Indian-built Street models are identical to one another, each even having the same headlights and directional signals that are said to be legal in all markets worldwide. The only exception? Indian models require a special “saree guard” on the rear wheel because so many passengers there ride sidesaddle."

"text": "By Tim Watson- August 23, 2013Category: Reviews Tweet At one of the biggest launches ever in its 110-year history, Harley-Davidson pulled the wraps off eight new models this week in Denver, Colorado, with more than 100 new features that encompass water-cooled engines, touch-screen and voice-activated electronics, styling updates and new linked ABS systems. Ride Apart was among the first of the world’s media to go to Colorado to see and test the new bikes. Photos: Brian J Nelson What’s New It’s hard to know where to start, as there are so many changes that Harley-Davidson have introduced for the 2014 model year. Some are truly significant developments, such as the new high output 103ci and 110ci water-cooled engines, hydraulic clutches and sophisticated electronics on the big touring models, while there’s a series of smaller updates that run right across the range. These include ABS now as an option on its Sportster models. That move alone brings Harley-Davidson firmly in line with BMW, as the only other manufacturer in the U. S. to offer ABS across its entire motorcycle line-up. Big news too is the 96ci v-twin engine is no more. From 2014 model year onwards (with the exception of Sportsters) all Harley-Davidsons come equipped with a twin cam 103ci motor. There’s the standard 103, which was launched in the previous model year, but for 2014 there’s now a high output 103, a water-cooled high output 103 and for the CVO models (Customer Vehicle Order) a High Output water-cooled 110ci v-twin. Harley-Davidson is well known for being extremely secretive about any new model updates and all of these developments it would be fair to say caught everyone by surprise, including its own global dealer network, which was in Denver also for the annual H-D retailer meeting."

This article contains weasel words: vague phrasing that often accompanies biased or unverifiable information. Such statements should be clarified or removed. ( January 2015)Peter Fonda rides a replica of the \"\" Captain America \"\" bike used in Easy Rider. A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in California in the late 1950s. The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified (\"\"chopped\"\") or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall \"\"ape hanger\"\" or very short \"\"drag\"\" handlebars, [1] lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels. The \"\"sissy bar\"\", a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers. Perhaps the best known choppers are the two customized Harley-Davidsons, the \"\" Captain America \"\" and \"\"Billy Bike\"\", seen in the 1969 film Easy Rider. ["

"text": "\"What is the Difference Between a Street Bob & Low Rider?by Sandra Rousseau In its history, Harley Davidson has produced many motorcycle models, two of them being the Street Bob and the Low Rider from the Dyna line. While these two models are from the same line and have some shared characteristics, they are each their own machine. The Street Bob The modern Harley Davidson Dyna Glide Street Bob was produced as a throwback to bobber bikes that became popular after World War II. These motorcycles were remainders of the war and were equipped with military equipment such as ammunition boxes and rifle mounts. People stripped them down for civilian use and the term \"\"bobber,\"\" in motorcycle circles, came to mean a bike that was pared down to the bare minimum essentials. The Low Rider Harley Davidson first offered the a Low Rider model in 1977 as an answer to a customizing trend at the time. Motorcycle enthusiasts were customizing bikes themselves, adding low-slung seats, pull-back handlebars and low-profile suspensions. Harley Davidson capitalized on this trend by offering a factory bike with similar features. Similarities Modern Low Riders and Street Bobs are both from the Dyna line, which gives them much in common, such as their general size, styling, power, instrumentation and chassis. Also, both motorcycles have a low seat height at around 25 to 26 inches, making them a popular choice with women, shorter men or anyone wanting a low-slung seat with a custom look and feel."

"text": "Visiting the Harley Davidson Museum By Scott Shetler featured, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Share 5 Tweet Pin 6How’s this for street cred: I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was 8 years old. My dad had a bike and bought me a little helmet and we went riding together through the streets of Pennsylvania and Ohio, much to the chagrin of my terrified grandmother. So while I’m not a bike person these days (unless we’re talking about a street bicycle), I was intrigued by the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee. Turns out this place isn’t just for badass bikers. Harley-Davidson Museum: Admission price, hours, parking, photo policy The Harley-Davidson Museum opened in 2008 in a formerly industrial area just outside downtown Milwaukee, at 400 Canal St. It’s easy to find and has a free parking lot, making it super convenient. It’s open seven days a week, and admission cost is $16 per adult. Best of all, unlike some lame museums, Harley-Davidson allows you take pictures of all the cool artifacts inside. The most fascinating thing about the museum is the collection of very, very old Harleys. It’s cool to see the history and the evolution of the brand. Here’s one from 1936 that I’d love to ride even today."

I took a chance and believed the Polaris Victory positive advertising and videos on television and on their Web site. I bought the bike sight unseen and without test driving. And what happened? I had some problems with the bike, but Victory corporate bought the bike back from me. The stock exhaust pipes are just fine. They have a nice deep rumbling without any annoying rasping or ear-shattering sounds. I tried the Victory accessory swept style pipes, but I did not like them as they were a bit too loud running at about 120 decibels with resonance and sound reflection problems that even ear plugs would not filter out so I went back to the stock pipes. The best thing about buying a Victory motorcycle is that you will never have all of the problems a Twin-Cam Harley-Davidson motorcycle will give you.

I've had hawk fly right by my deck (very unusual) and now he sat on my deck post and watched me take a picture of him; I was so excited thus the blur. I'm just happy I got this shot of him with my camera. Humm! Not that everything that happens to me is significant but I thought, I wonder what it means to the indians or folklore people? So I asked the above question online and found these answers: Best Answer - Chosen by Asker The hawk is a messenger bird. Usually when we see a hawk it means to pay attention because a message is coming to you. Hawks represent clear sightedness, being observant, our far memory and guardianship. They also bring courage, wisdom, illumination, creativity and truth. Hawks give us the ability to see the larger picture in life."

"text": "Martial Arts: Goju-ryu Karate Kata A Brief Over-view of the Etymology of Modern Goju-ryu Karate-do Kata By Joe Swift and Mario Mc Kenna It is now well documented that Okinawa karate is indebted to the Southern schools of Chinese boxing for much of its technical knowledge and expertise. Modern Goju-ryu is believed to be originally based upon Fujian Crane boxing, specifically Whooping Crane boxing and it’s enigmatic founder Xie Zhong Xiang (AKA Ru Ru Ko). Although many Goju-ryu stylists would like to think of their system and it’s corresponding training kata as an unadulterated and traditional method handed down from Ru Ru Ko to Higashionna Kanryo and finally to Miyagi Chojun, recent evidence suggests the contrary (for a complete overview of this topic see Mc Kenna, in press). Indeed, Goju-ryu is Miyagi Chojun’s personal interpretation of his instruction from Higashionna Kanryo in conjunction with his own research. Miyagi Chojun spent most of his life’s energies and his sizeable family fortune devoted to studying the fighting arts. During his studies he came into contact with such fighting traditions as Fujian White Crane boxing, Tiger boxing (Hu Quan), Monk fist boxing (Lohan Quan)and quite possibly Five Ancestor fist boxing (Go Cho??) ( Tokashiki 1991; Kinjo 1999). Not surprisingly these diverse styles are reflected in the kata of Goju-ryu. Regrettably, few practitioners of the style are aware of this fact or have little interest in Goju-ryu’s development. Instead, most students of Goju-ryu focus on training in the various techniques contained within the kata."

Native American symbols are geometric portrayals of celestial bodies, natural phenomena and animal designs. Native American bird and animal symbols and totems are believed to represent the physical form of a spirit helper and guide. The hawk symbol is believed to represent a bringer of messages and warnings of change. For additional information please refer to the Meanings of Bird Symbols. The Hawk Symbol - The Thunderer The strength of the hawk symbol is also depicted as the Guardian and Protector of the Earth Mother and all her children. The hawk is believed to be in a continuous fight, protecting people from the evil spirits of the air and is closely associated with forces such as rain, wind, thunder, and lightning and sometimes referred to as 'thunderers'. According to Iroquois legends and myths the 'Thunderer' was armed with a mighty bow and flaming arrows. The Hawk Symbol - Red-tailed Hawk Feathers The feathers of the Red-tailed Hawk are considered sacred to many Native Americans and, like the feathers of the Eagle, are sometimes used in religious ceremonies and rituals.

A double dissolution is the only circumstance in which the entire Senate can be dissolved. Similar to the United States Congress, but unlike the British Parliament, Australia's two parliamentary houses generally have almost equal legislative power (the Senate cannot amend, although may reject outright, appropriation (money) bills, which must originate in the House of Representatives). Governments, which are formed in the House of Representatives, can be frustrated by a Senate determined to reject their legislation. If the conditions (called a trigger) are satisfied, the Prime Minister can advise the Governor-General to dissolve both houses of Parliament and call a full election. If, after the election, the legislation that triggered the double dissolution is still not passed by the two houses, then a joint sitting of the two houses of parliament can be called to vote on the legislation. If the legislation is passed by the joint sitting, then the legislation is deemed to have passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The 1974 joint sitting remains the only occurrence in federal Australian history. Historically, a double dissolution election has been called in lieu of an early election, with the formal trigger bill not playing a significant role during the subsequent election campaign.

On the American frontier a scout was someone always on the lookout for danger. He also used outdoor skills and knowledge of nature to help him in his work. The 20th-century scouting movement began as a series of games and exercises to help men--primarily soldiers--learn to live in the open under difficult conditions. The program was started during the Boer War in South Africa by Robert Baden-Powell. In 1899 as a colonel in the British Army, he developed the military textbook called 'Aids to Scouting' as a way of training recruits. In 1900, Baden-Powell became a national hero in Britain for his 217-day defense of Mafeking."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Chicken (disambiguation). The game of chicken, also known as the hawk–dove game or snowdrift game, [1] is a model of conflict for two players in game theory. The principle of the game is that while it is to both players’ benefit if one player yields, the other player's optimal choice depends on what his opponent is doing: if his opponent yields, the player should not, but if the opponent fails to yield, the player should. The name \"\"chicken\"\" has its origins in a game in which two drivers drive towards each other on a collision course: one must swerve, or both may die in the crash, but if one driver swerves and the other does not, the one who swerved will be called a \"\" chicken \"\", meaning a coward; this terminology is most prevalent in political science and economics. The name \"\"hawk–dove\"\" refers to a situation in which there is a competition for a shared resource and the contestants can choose either conciliation or conflict; this terminology is most commonly used in biology and evolutionary game theory. From a game-theoretic point of view, \"\"chicken\"\" and \"\"hawk–dove\"\" are identical; the different names stem from parallel development of the basic principles in different research areas. [ 2] The game has also been used to describe the mutual assured destruction of nuclear warfare, especially the sort of brinkmanship involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

"text": "\"The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universeby Stephen W. Hawking2002, New Millennium Press167 pages, hardcover Review by Jim Walker This short book consists of a compilation of several lectures by Stephen Hawking. Many of the ideas from them appear in several of his past books. Hawking attempts to explain sophisticated and complex mathematical ideas in an unsophisticated, perhaps childlike (but charming) way. He briefly covers the history of ideas about the universe from Aristotle, Augustine, Newton, Einstein, Hubble, and Feynman. He then explains the Big Bang, black holes, and space-time and incorporates these thoughts into the search for a unified theory of everything. Although Hawking does not announce the arrival of the Theory of Everything, he does explain, in simple metaphors, the flavor of what such a theory would encompass. One of the more important concepts of his involves the idea that the \"\"beginning\"\" of the universe does not necessarily imply a singularity (or in holistic terms, a oneness). If we wish to hold consistency with quantum mechanics (the most successful scientific theory to date) then a no-boundary condition would best describe the beginning. Needless to say, this contradicts many religious ideas about a creation (although he empathizes that these ideas represent only a proposal). Hawking represents one of the most brilliant theoretical scientists of our time."

Some believe that this nickname was a reference to the Lehigh Valley Railroad, [1] not to the school's academic engineering program. [ 2] However, there was also a logo of a giant Lehigh Engineer looking through a surveyor's transit while an airliner flew over him and a diesel passenger train steamed beneath his feet in use at Lehigh during the 1950s and 60s. As the university expanded following the advent of coeducation in 1971, while the number of engineering students remained steady, the percentage of students enrolled in engineering declined from 50% to about 30%. As a result, during the school's 1988 appearance in the men's NCAA basketball tournament, TV commentators were encouraged to refer to the school by its colors, Brown and White. Beginning in the 1980s and until 1995, the team used a logo of a train locomotive with an \"\"L\"\" on the front. In November 1995, the school introduced the Mountain Hawk as a mascot, replacing the \"\"L train\"\", which stemmed from a popular, student-based movement to come up with a suitable mascot; the Mountain Hawk was officially voted in as the new mascot by the Lehigh Student Senate soon after.

That's why I was so pleased to discover a transcript of a lecture he gave across the Bay at UC - Berkeley offering a summary of where we are in relation to understanding the origin of the Universe. The expansion of the universe was discovered by Edwin Hubble in the 1920s and was one of the most important intellectual discoveries of the 20th century, or of any century. It transformed the debate about whether the universe had a beginning. Hubble's discovery that galaxies are moving apart now, suggested they must have been closer together in the past. If their speed had been constant, they would all have been on top of one another about 15 billion years ago."

Consult your doctor before using biotin for treatment of diabetes. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Glucose Regulation Biotin levels influence blood sugar levels and tend to be lower in people with Type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in a 2004 issue of the \"\"American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.\"\" In the study, participants took 6 micro-moles per deciliter of biotin per day for 28 days and showed increased activity of several enzymes that regulate blood sugar in both the diabetic and non-diabetic participants. However, no significant change in glucose, insulin, triglycerides or cholesterol occurred from biotin supplementation in either group. Deficiency A study published in the January 2011 issue of the journal \"\"Molecular Genetics and Metabolism\"\" found that biotin deficiency impairs glucose and cholesterol regulation. In the tissue culture and animal study, biotin deficiency caused energy deficiency and activated stress response mechanisms.

"text": "Personal Health & Wellness Medical Tests Glycohemoglobin (Hb A1c, A1c)Glycohemoglobin (Hb A1c, A1c) [en Español]Test Overview A glycohemoglobin test, or hemoglobin A1c, is a blood test that checks the amount of sugar (glucose) bound to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells. When hemoglobin and glucose bond, a coat of sugar forms on the hemoglobin. That coat gets thicker when there's more sugar in the blood. A1c tests measure how thick that coat has been over the past 3 months, which is how long a red blood cell lives. People who have diabetes or other conditions that increase their blood glucose levels have more glycohemoglobin (sugar bound to hemoglobin) than normal. An A1c test can be used to diagnose prediabetes or diabetes. The A1c test checks the long-term control of blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. Most doctors think checking an A1c level is the best way to check how well a person is controlling his or her diabetes. A home blood glucose test measures the level of blood glucose only at that moment. Blood glucose levels change during the day for many reasons, including medicine, diet, exercise, and the level of insulin in the blood."

Even if they drink plenty of water, the sweet taste doesn’t get any better, thus making the patients rather puzzled. Is it that Diabetes has worsened or any complication is causing the taste? Actually, there are two main inducing causes of the symptom: One is gastrointestinal tract disorder. Diabetic digestive system disorder is a complication of Diabetes. Dysfunction in digestive tract will result in abnormal secretion of certain kinds of enzymes. Higher levels of amylases in spittle will stimulate taste buds on your tongues, thus resulting in the sweet taste in mouth. When Diabetes also damage the nerves that regulate functions in gastrointestinal tract, they patients may have accompanying symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, etc. The other reason for the sweet taste in mouth is high levels of blood glucose. For the patients with Diabetes, poor controlling of blood glucose can cause sweet taste in mouth."

"text": "\"Blood Sugar Monitoring The American Diabetes Association published revised Standards of Care for diabetes, emphasizing that high-quality diabetes care must be individualized to reflect the needs, interests, and abilities of each person. The primary goal of care is to reduce blood glucose levels to as close to normal as is reasonable. To monitor success toward that goal, the diabetic should self-manage in a responsible manner using diet revision and exercise as the primary strategy and should self-monitor blood glucose levels at home. The secondary goal is to monitor for and, if detected, treat developing complications. This requires annual eye exams to detect retinopathy, annual urinalysis to search for early signs of nephropathy, periodic foot examinations, regular blood pressure and cholesterol and triglyceride testing to warn of impending heart disease. The official view is that patient education and motivation must be a central component of quality diabetes care because each person must provide daily self-care:managing food selection, meal planningstaying in control of the dietgetting daily exerciseself-monitoring blood glucosetaking medication, if requiredquitting smoking Blood Sugar Monitoring Home testing of blood glucose levels is useful for the self-managing diabetic. You have to remember that the reason for doing a test is to provide you with information that influences the decisions you make. An insulin dependent diabetic will make decisions about the dose and timing of insulin injections based on blood glucose levels. Blood glucose measurements are required to make good decisions about adjusting the insulin dose. A person with early type 2 diabetes will need less frequent blood glucose measurements to guide food choices and adjust activity levels."

Glucose sticks to the haemoglobin to make a 'glycosylated haemoglobin' molecule, called haemoglobin A1C or Hb A1C. The more glucose in the blood, the more haemoglobin A1C or Hb A1C will be present in the blood. Red cells live for 8 - 12 weeks before they are replaced. By measuring the Hb A1C it can tell you how high your blood glucose has been on average over the last 8-12 weeks. A normal non-diabetic Hb A1C is <36mmol/mol (5.5%). In diabetes about 48mmol/mol (6.5%) is good. The Hb A1C test is currently one of the best ways to check diabetes is under control; it is the blood test that gets sent to the laboratory, and it is done on the spot in some hospital clinics. Remember, the Hb A1C is not the same as the glucose level. Coincidentally the glucose/Hb A1C numbers for good control are rather similar though in the UK and Europe: glucose levels averaging 6.5 mmols/l before meals is equivalent to 60mmol/mol (7%)."

Hain, MDLast edited: June 17, 2017AIBD defined How common is it Diagnosis Treatment Dizzy Index Autoimmune Brain disease or \"\"AIBD\"\" consists of a syndrome of central nervous system which is caused by antibodies or immune cells which are attacking the brain. There is considerable overlap between autoimmune disorders that attack the ear and those that attack the brain. There is also overlap between paraneoplastic syndromes, as many of these are mediated by the immune system. The immune system is complex and there are several ways that it can damage the brain. Traditional \"\"autoimmune diseases\"\"These include Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Sjoegren's syndrome (dry eye syndrome), the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. There are are also organ specific disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Celiac disease (sprue) which occasionally are accompanied by AIBD. In Celiac disease, antibodies have been found directed against transglutamase 2 (an autoantigen in the gut), and transglutamase 6 - an antigen independent of intestinal involvement (Hadjivassilou M, et al, 2008). Autoimmune disease restricted to the central nervous system Antibodies to glutamate receptors have been reported in cerebellar degenerations (Gahring et al, 1997), in patients with downbeating nystagmus (Antonini et al, 2003), and palatal myoclonus. Antibodies to Gq1b (a ganglioside largely found in nerves), have been reported in a group of disorders including Guillain Barre, Bickerstaff's encephalitis, Miller-Fisher syndrome.

What is Hb A1c? What should my blood sugar levels be? Hb A1c in pregnancy Tweet Hb A1c Test for Diabetes The haemoglobin A1c test gives an indication of how well your diabetes is controlled The Hb A1c test, also known as the haemoglobin A1c or glycated haemoglobin test, is an important blood test that gives a good indication of how well your diabetes is being controlled. Together with the fasting plasma glucose test, the Hb A1c test is one of the main ways in which type 2 diabetes is diagnosed. Hb A1c tests are not the primary diagnostic test for type 1 diabetes but may sometimes be used together with other tests. For Hb A1c guidelines for monitoring diabetes control, see our Hb A1c targets page. Hb A1c testing in diagnosing diabetes The World Health Organisation (WHO) suggests the following diagnostic guidelines for diabetes: Hb A1c below 42 mmol/mol (6.0%): Non-diabetic Hb A1c between 42 and 47 mmol/mol (6.0–6.4%): Impaired glucose regulation (IGR) or Prediabetes Hb A1c of 48 mmol/mol (6.5%) or over: Type 2 diabetes If your Hb A1c test returns a reading of 6.0–6.4%, that indicates prediabetes. Your doctor should work with you to suggest appropriate lifestyle changes that could reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Hb A1c is not used to diagnose gestational diabetes in the UK. Instead, an oral glucose tolerance test is used."

Hemoglobin A1c definition and facts Share Your Story Hemoglobin A1c is a protein on the surface of red blood cells that sugar molecules stick to, usually for the life of the red blood cell (about three months). The higher the level of glucose in the blood, the higher the level of hemoglobin A1c is detectable on red blood cells. Hemoglobin A1c levels correlate with average levels of glucose in the blood over an approximately three-month time period. Normal ranges for hemoglobin A1c in people without diabetes is about 4% to 5.9%. People with diabetes with poor glucose control have hemoglobin A1c levels above 7%. Hemoglobin A1c levels are routinely used to determine blood sugar control over time in people with diabetes."

It’s probably more interesting to say how they got there. Food is converted to glucose in the body since that’s the fuel the body runs on. It is delivered to all parts of the body by putting it into the blood stream since, conveniently, blood goes to all parts of the body. There are systems to ensure that things don’t go wrong but sometimes they do. Too much sugar (glucose) and the body tries to fuel dump. It puts it in the urine and makes you pee a lot (polyuria …Google it). Glucose can be tested for by putting a testing strip into your urine. If things get desperate then the body makes you thirsty so you drink more (polydypsia) so that you can flush more sugar. Not a good idea to drink sugary drinks at this point since it defeats the object."

Hb A1c (haemoglobin A1c blood test) is also known as the glycated haemoglobin test or glycohaemoglobin. A sample of blood is taken from the arm at a clinic or GP surgery and sent off to a lab for analysis. The results typically take a day or so to come back. The results will show how stable your glucose levels have been and how well a treatment plan is working. After the results are back, doctors may suggest changes in diabetes medication or dosage. This test is arranged at least once a year and is recommended in addition to home blood glucose monitoring. Haemoglobin is a substance within red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. When your diabetes is not controlled, which means that your blood sugar is too high, sugar builds up in your blood and combines with your haemoglobin to become \"\"glycated\"\".

Last modified December 28, 2017Diabetes and its complications remain a major cause of early disease and death worldwide. The diagnosis of diabetes is to a large extent based on detecting elevated levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is a laboratory measure frequently used for this purpose. The test is also useful to monitor treatment in patients with established diabetes. Approximately 8 percent of the US populations suffer from type 2 diabetes, with as many as 40 percent of those undiagnosed ( 1 ). Worldwide, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is estimated at 6.4 percent in adults but varies somewhat among countries with the rate of undetected diabetes as high as 50 percent in some areas ( 2 ). The term diabetes describes several disorders of abnormal carbohydrate metabolism that are characterized by high levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia). Diabetes is associated with a relative or absolute impairment in insulin secretion, along with varying degrees of peripheral resistance to the action of insulin ( 3 ). The Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes The prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes continues to increase worldwide, with type 2 diabetes much more common and accounting for over 90 percent of patients with diabetes."

In dietary terms, calories are the amount of energy that a food provides. If we consistently take in more energy than we need, we will gain weight. If we take in too little energy, we will lose weight, fat, and eventually muscle mass. The definition of a calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram (g) of water through 1° Celsius. The type and amount of food we eat determine how many calories we consume. For many people on a weight-loss diet, the number of calories in a food is a deciding factor in choosing whether or not to eat it. How and when we eat can also make a difference, as the body uses energy differently throughout the day. Our body's energy use will depend on how active we are, how efficiently our body uses the energy, and our age."

Rejection is the most common and important complication that may occur after receiving a transplant. Since you were not born with your transplanted kidney, your body will think this new tissue is “foreign” and will try to protect you by “attacking” it. Rejection is a normal response from your body after any transplant surgery. You must take anti-rejection medicine exactly as prescribed to prevent rejection. Are there different types of rejection?

It is also the main reason I started this website, to help spread all the information below. Results and goals can vary by each person with fat loss, muscle gain, better health, improved performance in your sport of choice and more. With all that also factors in the individuality of what is a person’s insulin resistance, current body composition (body-fat%), daily lifestyle, eating habits, macronutrient ratios (carbs/protein/fat), type of exercise program, frequency and volume of training, recovery demands, and so forth. What I am trying to hint at is that you are unlikely to find large groups of people with the exact same set of parameters and responses to an intermittent fasting protocol. What does this mean? Well just that you need to start with a basic intermittent fasting (or “feeding” as mentioned below) format, and then learn how to monitor results and adjust as you go. Even down the road things will change as you improve health, lower insulin resistance and maybe change performance and recovery needs. So nothing is really ever just one set way (as it shouldn’t have to be). Life is dynamic (always changing and evolving) and so should be the way you see your own journey for health and fitness."

Let me begin by reminding you that I will never knock someone else’s lifestyle and/or dietary choices if it works for them. The people I am addressing this post to are not the thriving HCLF raw vegans. I am addressing this post to the people (the young girls, specifically) who come across these Instagram accounts/You Tube channels and believe that eating this way, copying these people’s diet and lifestyle choices, will lead them toward their ideal life and health & fitness goals. For those who are not aware, the HCLF raw vegan lifestyle, otherwise known as the 80/10/10 diet, otherwise known as “fruitarian,” “raw till 4,” “carb yourself up,” etc. is a diet where you get about 80% of your calories from the carbohydrates of fruit (and in the “raw till 4” case, from steamed starches as well), 10% from fats and 10% from protein. A typical HCLF meal consists of a smoothie made of 10 bananas, and it wouldn’t be rare to follow that with another smoothie made from 12 dates and filtered water."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 73.5 million adults in the United States have high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad” cholesterol, and people with high LDL cholesterol are at double the risk for heart disease. What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a waxy, fatty substance that’s found in your body and that travels through your bloodstream. Your body needs a certain amount to function properly, but it produces all the cholesterol it needs. Cholesterol travels through your body with lipoproteins, which are soluble proteins that transport fats through the body. LDL, the “bad” cholesterol, carries cholesterol to your body’s tissues and blood vessels. If your body has too much LDL, it will deposit the excess along the walls of your blood vessels, putting you at risk for a heart attack or stroke. High-density lipoprotein (HDL), also called “good” cholesterol, takes cholesterol from your tissues and blood vessels back to your liver, where it is removed from your body."

"text": "Blood pressure chart: What your reading means By Mayo Clinic Staff This blood pressure chart can help you figure out if your blood pressure is at a healthy level or if you'll need to take some steps to improve your numbers. Your total blood pressure reading is determined by measuring your systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Systolic blood pressure, the top number, measures the force your heart exerts on the walls of your arteries each time it beats. Diastolic blood pressure, the bottom number, measures the force your heart exerts on the walls of your arteries in between beats. Blood pressure readings fall into four general categories, ranging from normal to stage 2 high blood pressure (hypertension). The level of your blood pressure determines what kind of treatment you may need. To get an accurate blood pressure measurement, your doctor should evaluate your readings based on the average of two or more blood pressure readings at three or more office visits. Here's a look at the four blood pressure categories and what they mean for you. If your systolic and diastolic readings fall into two different categories, your correct blood pressure category is the higher category. For example, if your blood pressure reading is 125/85 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), you have stage 1 hypertension."

"text": "How Much Weight can You Lose in 6 Weeks? By Holly Klamer, RD Leave a Comment Researched Based Article Some weight loss plans promise weight loss of 20 or 30 pounds in 4-6 weeks. While some people may be able to reach that with dramatic changes, most people will have weight loss that is not quite as dramatic within 6 weeks. You may be able to lose 5-10 pounds in 2 weeks following a crazy fad diet, but what is more important is how much weight can you keep off long term. Most diets have only about a 5% percent success rate in the long term. While that may seem dim, keep in mind in order for long term weight loss to be successful you need to think of it as a continual lifestyle change. Here are some factors of what you can expect for weight loss of 6 weeks and what it can require. What is realistic and recommended? A lot of factors play into weight loss that can be hard to predict such as: genetics, variance in metabolic rates, stress, sleep patterns and hormone levels. While there is a wide range of variance for weight loss between individuals, what is generally recommended is a weight loss plan of 1-2 pounds per week."

Most people know eating healthy is important, but in this “supersized” world it can be difficult to find a nutritious diet that is sustainable. When a system of group-based, hands-on interventions is used to guide people to transition to plant-based nutrition, it effectively changes a repetitive pattern of unhealthy eating into a healthy lifestyle. This type of diet benefits patients with coronary artery disease, as well as those who suffer from obesity, type 2 diabetes, and several types of cancer, such as prostate, breast, and colon. In addition to nutritional guidance, lifestyle interventions incorporate education in culinary techniques, physical activity, and stress management approaches of therapeutic yoga and behavioral health coaching to improve outcomes for patients at risk and those who already have common chronic diseases. About the Speaker Mladen Golubic, MD, Ph D is the Medical Director for the Center for Lifestyle Medicine and specializes in lifestyle medicine, cardiovascular disease reversal, integrative medicine approaches to lifestyle-related cancer management.

"text": "\"Fitness and Health - One Day at a Time Monday, March 13, 2006How Many Grams of Protein Should I Eat in a Day? Have you ever found yourself wondering, how many grams of protein should I eat in a day? The answer to that can be relatively simple or complex. There are some questions you should ask yourself before you ask how many grams of protein should I eat in a day? Ask yourself, what are my goals? Do you lead a sedentary or active lifestyle? Once you have decided what kind of goal you have in mind and have answered what kind of lifestyle you lead then you can have a better understanding of “how many grams of protein should I eat in a day?” Active vs. Sedentary Lifestyle General Guidelines: Although daily estimates for how many grams of protein should I eat in a day varies, a general guideline for people that lead a sedentary lifestyle is that you need to consume about 0.8 grams per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of ideal bodyweight (the weight you would like to be). A general guideline for the more active person who is looking for gains in strength should be to consume 1.2 to 1.4 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal bodyweight. If you are a sedentary male weighting 140lbs you should be consuming 50.4 grams of protein per day."

She had just returned from her yearly physical, which she had been eagerly anticipating. Though she hadn't reached her weight-loss goal, Lori had made many lifestyle changes to promote good health. She had begun exercising on a regular basis, made some subtle shifts in her dietary habits that made her feel better, and had even begun a weekly yoga/meditation class to manage stress . The results of the physical demonstrated her efforts had been paying off. Her blood pressure was in the normal level for the first time in years, her blood sugars had dropped, and her cholesterol profile had greatly improved. However, once the exam was complete and she was sitting with her physician in his office, rather than commenting on the improvements, he stated, \"\"Lori, I was really hoping you would have dropped a lot more weight since our last visit. If you don't get serious about taking off the extra pounds, your risk of early disease will continue.

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-it-mean-to-have-a-heart-of-gold.htm\n\"What Does It Mean to Have a \"\"Heart of Gold\"\"?\"",
"text": "\"\"\"Heart of gold\"\" is an idiomatic English expression indicating that a person has a kind, generous and caring personality. Its meaning is rooted in traditional symbolism relating to the properties of gold. It is sometimes used to indicate a contrast between a person's appearance and behavior by suggesting that the individual has a good heart underneath an exterior that suggests otherwise. The first recorded use of the phrase occurs in a play from 1553, \"\"Ralph Roister Doister.\"\" This farce, regarded as the first comedy written in English, concerns the unsuccessful efforts of Ralph, a buffoon, to woo the beautiful Christian Custance. Among the other endearments Ralph bestows on her is \"\"my heart of gold.\"\" In its first use, the term clearly describes a woman being praised for her excellent personality, as well as describing Ralph's love for her. In medieval symbolism, gold represented the pinnacle of luxury. Due to its rarity and value, it was considered the noblest of all metals and thought to represent positive qualities of the human spirit such as generosity, justice and courage. The symbolic value of gold can be seen in other expressions such as \"\"golden age,\"\" referring to a lost age of greatness, or \"\"golden boy,\"\" signifying a promising youngster."

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Not with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive garb, but in the way that befits women professing to reverence God, namely, through good works.” ( 1 Timothy 2:9, 10) Paul was urging his Christian sisters to be modest, to be balanced in choosing personal adornment, and to be ‘adorned’ with good works. Some people counter that the same verses say the adornment is not to be “with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive garb, but in the way that befits women professing to reverence God, namely, through good works.” Does this mean that women must not fix their hair or wear jewelry? No, it does not; the Bible speaks well of adornment. So rather than forbidding certain ornamentation, Paul was encouraging women to focus primarily on adorning themselves with Christian qualities and good works. Paul tells us not to be “judging one another.” We must guard against ‘putting before a brother a stumbling block.’ Standards of what is acceptable may vary from land to land and culture to culture."

Answer In the time of Christ, and much throughout history, the colour purple represented royalty and was worn by both men and women. It was worn almost exclusively by members of royal families and leaders of powerful empires. In some cultures it would have been punishable by death for someone \"\"not of the blood of royalty\"\" to wear the colour purple. ( just to let u know this is someone different...i just tried that purple gold thing and it worked! soooo cool! ) Answer It is understandable that purple represents royalty if one thinks how purple is a mix of red and blue, that is a mix of female and male energies. Mixing female and male energies grants the power of creation which is an attribute of god, thus of kings whom are god's representatives."

What is the meaning of tawaf (circumambulation)Submitted by Muhammad Hagi on Mon, 25/10/2010 - 11:28The Answer Dear Brother / Sister,Circumambulating the Kaaba represents the idea of oneness. Its meaning regarding the social life is not to leave unity and to try to maintain this unity. Its meaning regarding individual life contains deep truths. The sky has seven layers; man has seven souls. Each turning around the Kaaba represents a phase, a stage; man covers a phase and is elevated up to the seventh sky, above the material realm. Besides, it means to rise from the lowest step of the soul, which has seven steps, to the highest one. That is, from nafs al-ammarah (soul commanding the evil) to nafs al-mutmainnah (tranquil self); from the animal life to the spiritual life. Circumambulating the Kaaba is a kind of worshipping taken from the order of the universe."

In this lesson, we will examine the idea of theme and look at some examples in actual literary works. Defining a Theme The theme in a story is its underlying message, or 'big idea.' In other words, what critical belief about life is the author trying to convey in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem? This belief, or idea, transcends cultural barriers. It is usually universal in nature. When a theme is universal, it touches on the human experience, regardless of race or language. It is what the story means. Often, a piece of writing will have more than one theme. Think about some T. V. sitcoms you have seen that you have found trite and boring."

Many jewelry items, especially pre 1930s ones, are covered in motifs and carved symbols like ivy leaves, insects, and animals. These aren't just pretty embellishments; they have a real meaning. For example, a Victorian brooch that is decorated with ivy represents everlasting love, deep friendship or marriage, though if this brooch is also dotted with pearls it means it's a mourning piece (pearls represent tears), so it would have been worn by someone who wanted to remember a departed loved one. It's well worth the effort discovering this hidden symbolism behind jewelry - it can take our love of it to a whole new and deeper level. Here is an at-a-glance list of jewelry symbols to quickly help you identify hidden codes used in your vintage jewelry. Learning how to ‘read’ jewelry is a lot of fun, and remember - do take into account all the symbols, gemstones, colors and symbols used together in your item to give you an indication of what the piece might be telling us, especially as many symbols and gemstones have multiple meanings. Once you begin to realize that vintage jewelry may not be what it seems, you really do look at it in a wonderful new way! A full list of flower meanings is at the bottom of the page.

Answer by Bodygarnish Confidence votes 64It all depends on what the alloy mixture is. An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements. Metals like nickel, copper and brass are often found in the alloys of cheaper rings and they will tarnish and/or turn your finger green. If you do have a ring like this, you could try painting the inside of the ring with clear nail polish before it is worn. But if it is already turning your finger green it probably won't help.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Carolyn joline 1 Contribution Why does a gold ring make your finger turn green? Gold does not do that but copper does. Brass looks like gold and also makes the finger dark green."

"text": "A second analysis: Sailing to Byzantium by W. B. Yeats was composed probably in 1927, and published in his collection of poems titled The Tower in 1928. The poet in this poem wishes to sail and go to an imaginary world (or country): Byzantium, where the artist, almost impersonal, manages to reflect this vision of a whole people. This world (or country) had a culture so integrated as to produce an art which could have the impact of single image. The world that the poet wants to leave to sail to Byzantium is “transfixed by the sensual music of its singing birds which is represented by decaying multitudinous bodies – fish, flesh, foul. These “dying generations” (line 3) of the world’s birds sing songs to the body, songs which distract all people from the contemplation of “monuments of un-ageing intellect” (line 8) which alone can justify an old man’s existence and which cannot be produced in modern chaotic times. ”Sailing to Byzantium Analysis Stanza One That is no country for old men. The young In one another’s arms, birds in the trees,—Those dying generations—at their song,The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long Whatever is begotten, born, and dies. Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unageing intellect. That is no country for old men = old men will not find that country to be suitable for them to live in. ‘ That Country” means Ireland where the old poet is living at present, from where he sails to Byzantium."

On the other hand, there are also many rulings in fiqh, which are not based on Urf. .^. A more technical term in fiqh is ‘Urful Mutasharre’een’ or ‘Urful Muttaqeen’ meaning general opinion of the righteous momineen in a community. .^.

Not only does she smell odors that no one else even notices, the odors are always nauseating to her. Many odors that are enjoyable to me and others, such as colognes, perfumes, and certain foods as they are being cooked -- make her sick to the point of opening windows and turning on fans even on the coldest days. Though I've searched all over the net looking for a cure--or a least a treatment for her condition--I haven't found one. Her condition, which started slowly several years ago, seems to worsen with each passing day. She is 62 years old and has had fibromyalgia for at least 15 years. About 2 tears ago she was diagnosed with COPD. There hasn't been any trauma to her nose or elsewhere. She does have a polyp in one of her nasal passages."

"text": "Before you even know you're pregnant, your nose might give you away. Why? Because as strange as it might sound, moms-to-be are known to have an uncanny sense of smell—in fact, it's often one of the first signs of pregnancy. So if you're suddenly gagging at the scent of garlic or ground beef (or can't even stomach a simple stroll through the grocery store), you might just be expecting. Why Do I Have A Heightened Sense Of Smell? Though there is no scientific research to back it up, many women report increased powers of smell when they become pregnant. From the faint aroma of a woman’s perfume in line at Starbucks to a whiff of a cubicle-mate’s lunch, seemingly innocuous odors can be over-powering to a soon-to-be-mom. The medical reason for this is unclear, but the trigger to these symptoms is probably related to the hormonal changes associated with morning sickness. According to Yvonne Bohn, MD, co-author of The Mommy Docs’ Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth, “Rising levels of estrogen and human chorionic gonadotropin (h CG) in the first trimester trigger nausea, vomiting and morning sickness. If a woman is already slightly nauseous, a strong odor may enhance these symptoms."

There are actually well over 100 reasons for that metallic taste in your mouth, a few of which are common, whereas many of which are rare. That metal-like taste in your tongue could mean anything from a dental problem, to diabetes, to the fact that you are pregnant, or it could mean nothing much at all, or something taking a drink of water might cure. The possibility it is a symptom of something serious is remote, but like many other symptoms, if it comes on suddenly and lingers on, you might do well to have it looked into. The medical term for this type of abnormal taste in the mouth is dysgeusia, which is a condition, not a disease or a disorder. Not a Normal Taste – But Still a Taste Your taste buds sense sweet, sour, salty, bitter, or umami. The latter taste sensation could be described as savory or meaty, and is commonly associated with Asian foods. None of these five basic sensations can be described as metallic. Experiencing a taste resembling somewhat that of a metal could be thought of as something having hijacked your taste buds so that they send the wrong message to the brain."

The reason behind the black and white coat is unknown, but it is thought that the colouring provides camouflage for giant pandas in their natural environment. Where do giant pandas live? Giant pandas live in bamboo forests in remote mountainous regions of western China.

These spiny animals have adapted to their environment by developing several defense mechanisms and a heightened sense of smell to detect food. Using these adaptations, hedgehogs can survive in a myriad of conditions. Defense Sharp spines cover the back of the hedgehog. If a hedgehog does not feel threatened, the spines angle in a way that allows the hedgehog to be touched. When a hedgehog enters a state of panic or needs defense, the hedgehog curls itself into a ball and extends its spines vertically for protection. These spines cannot be released from the hedgehog in an offensive attack but rather act as a defense mechanism against predators in the wild. Senses The hedgehog relies on its sense of smell above all other senses. By smelling his surroundings, the hedgehog detects familiar objects in its habitat from housing to food. The hedgehog uses its ears and eyes to spot predators."

Most mammals and reptiles have a main olfactory system and an accessory olfactory system. The main olfactory system detects airborne substances, while the accessory system senses fluid-phase stimuli. The senses of smell and taste ( gustatory system) are often referred to together as the chemosensory system, because they both give the brain information about the chemical composition of objects through a process called transduction.

Peripheral [ edit]The peripheral olfactory system consists mainly of the nostrils, ethmoid bone, nasal cavity, and the olfactory epithelium (layers of thin tissue covered in mucus that line the nasal cavity). The primary components of the layers of epithelial tissue are the mucous membranes, olfactory glands, olfactory neurons, and nerve fibers of the olfactory nerves. [ 1]Odor molecules can enter the peripheral pathway and reach the nasal cavity either through the nostrils when inhaling ( olfaction) or through the throat when the tongue pushes air to the back of the nasal cavity while chewing or swallowing (retro-nasal olfaction).

Mucus also covers the olfactory epithelium, which contains mucous membranes that produce and store mucus and olfactory glands that secrete metabolic enzymes found in the mucus. ["

But why is our sense of smell such a vital part of our lives – and how has it influenced science, art, culture and history?1. A new nose You can smell as fresh as a daisy every month and your scent cells are renewed every 28 days, so every four weeks you get a new “nose”.2. Remembering a smell Smell is the most sensitive of the senses. People can remember smells with 65% accuracy after a year, while visual recall is about 50% after three months. Research has shown that smell is the sense most linked to our emotional recollection. So, when linked to a product, that can reap dividends."

"text": "Discovery Health Administration Like a great many things during a pregnancy, the changes that occur in a woman's senses are attributed largely to hormones. Estrogen levels increase in pregnant women, and estrogen has been linked to a heightened sense of smell in women who are not pregnant, too. A study conducted in 2002 by Philadelphia's Monell Chemical Senses Center demonstrated that women who are of child-bearing age were more sensitive to odors than men. This was not true, however of prepubescent girls or post-menopausal women, who performed comparably with the men in the study. So, apparently, as women's levels of estrogen rise or fall, their sense of smell may be affected. There's evidence that a woman's smelling abilities also changes during her menstrual cycle and also at ovulation, as well as during her pregnancy. But scientists cannot offer an explanation for how, or if, estrogen creates the change in the woman's nose or in her brain.

A dog's senses of hearing and smell are much more powerful than those of a human. It is because of these heightened senses that people \"\"employ\"\" guard dogs to protect their property, sniffer dogs to detect drugs and explosives, guide dogs to aid the blind, hearing dogs to accompany the deaf, and search and rescue dogs to play critical roles in various missions. This increased sensitivity can even seem supernatural—for example, when canines seem to predict natural disasters. For instance, there are many accounts of animals (including dogs) acting strangely before the recent tsunami in Southern Asia, as if they knew that it was about to happen. National Geographic says the following: The belief that wild and domestic animals possess a sixth sense—and know in advance when the earth is going to shake—has been around for centuries. Wildlife experts believe animals' more acute hearing and other senses might enable them to hear or feel the earth's vibration, tipping them off to approaching disaster long before humans realize what's going on.

Because the risk of PEM is related to the degree of illness, the causal connections between malnutrition and a poorer prognosis are complex. It cannot auto matically be inferred that nutritional support will improve the clinical course of patients with wasting disorders. We reviewed studies of the treatment of PEM in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure, stroke, dementia, reha-bilitation after hip fracture, chronic renal failure, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple disorders in the elderly. Several method-ologic problems are associated with nutrition treatment studies in chronically ill patients. These problems include no generally accepted definition of PEM, uncertain patient compliance with supplementation, and a wide range of outcome variables. Avail-able treatment studies indicate that dietary supplements, either alone or in combination with hormonal treatment, may have positive effects when given to patients with manifest PEM or to patients at risk of developing PEM. In chronic obstructive pul-monary disease, nutritional treatment may improve respiratory function. Nutritional therapy of elderly women after hip fractures may speed up the rehabilitation process. When administered to elderly patients with multiple disorders, diet therapy may improve functional capacity."

Phone: 317-988-4414; Fax: 317-988-2171; E-mail: [email protected] Next Section Abstract The decision by nephrologists, renal dietitians, federal agencies, health care payers, large dialysis organizations, and the research community to embrace serum albumin as an important index of nutrition and clinical performance is based on numerous misconceptions. Patients with analbuminemia are not malnourished and individuals with simple malnutrition are rarely hypoalbuminemic. With the possible exception of kwashiorkor, a rare nutritional state, serum albumin is an unreliable marker of nutritional status. Furthermore, nutritional supplementation has not been clearly shown to raise levels of serum albumin. The use of serum albumin as a quality care index is also problematic. It has encouraged a reflexive reliance on expensive and unproven interventions such as dietary supplements and may lead to adverse selection of healthier patients by health care providers. The authors offer a rationale for considering albumin as a marker of illness rather than nutrition. Viewed in this manner, hypoalbuminemia may offer an opportunity to improve patient well-being by identifying and treating the underlying disorder. Kidney disease is closely associated with protein–calorie malnutrition."

In hemodialysis, blood is removed from the body and filtered through a man-made membrane called a dialyzer, or artificial kidney, and then the filtered blood is returned to the body.

These waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine. The production of urine involves highly complex steps of excretion and re-absorption. This process is necessary to maintain a stable balance of body chemicals. The critical regulation of the body's salt, potassium and acid content is performed by the kidneys. The kidneys also produce hormones that affect the function of other organs. For example, a hormone produced by the kidneys stimulates red blood cell production. Other hormones produced by the kidneys help regulate blood pressure and control calcium metabolism.

The severity of neuropathy is correlated strongly with the severity of the renal insufficiency. Uremic neuropathy is considered a dying-back neuropathy or central-peripheral axonopathy associated with secondary demyelination. However, uremia and its treatment can also be associated with mononeuropathy at compression sites. [ 1]Charcot suspected the existence of uremic neuropathy in 1880 [2], and Osler suspected it in 1892. Since the introduction of hemodialysis and renal transplantation in the early 1960s, uremic neuropathy has been investigated thoroughly. Asbury, Victor, and Adams described the clinical and pathologic features in detail in 1962. [ 3]In 1971, Dyck and colleagues established the current concept of uremic neuropathy based on their extensive nerve conduction studies in vivo and in vitro, as well as light and electron microscopy studies. [ 4] Using quantitative histology, they demonstrated axonal shrinkage. Myelin sheaths appeared to be affected out of proportion to axons."

They filter by-products and toxins from the blood and preserve the balance of bodily fluids and electrolytes. The kidneys excrete these compounds with water to make urine. They also eliminate excess body water while reabsorbing useful chemicals and allowing waste to pass freely into the bladder as urine. They allow a person to consume a variety of foods, drugs, vitamins and nutritional supplements, additives, and excess fluids without worry that toxic by-products will build up to harmful levels. The kidneys regulate the amount of various substances in the blood and the amount of water in the body. Blood circulates through the kidneys for filtration. As the first step in filtration, the blood passes through the glomeruli, complex structures composed of tiny blood vessels entwined together. Substances present in the blood are selectively filtered across the outer linings of the tiny blood vessels and excreted with water as urine or reabsorbed into tube-like structures (tubules) for further filtration."

When kidneys fail, the person needs to replace their function with either dialysis or a transplant. Dialysis Dialysis, the more common form of kidney-replacement therapy, is a way of cleaning the blood with an artificial kidney. There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. No matter which type is chosen, the person undergoing dialysis needs to work closely with the health care team to keep diabetes under control. Hemodialysis In hemodialysis, an artificial kidney removes waste from the blood. A surgeon must first create an \"\"access,\"\" a place where blood can easily be taken from the body and sent to the artificial kidney for cleaning. The access, usually in the forearm, can be made from the patient's own blood vessels or from a piece of implanted tubing. The access is inside the body and cannot be seen from the outside. Usually, this surgery is done 2 to 3 months before dialysis starts so the body has time to heal."

"text": "Anemia of Inflammation & Chronic Disease What is anemia? Anemia is a condition in which a person has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells drops below normal, which prevents the body’s cells from getting enough oxygen. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color and lets red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. Therefore, low numbers of red blood cells or low levels of hemoglobin also cause low blood iron levels. People with anemia may feel tired because their blood does not supply enough oxygen to the body’s organs and tissues. If anemia becomes severe and prolonged, the lack of oxygen in the blood can lead to shortness of breath or exercise intolerance—a condition in which a person becomes easily fatigued during or after physical activity—and eventually can cause the heart and other organs to fail. What is anemia of inflammation and chronic disease (AI/ACD)? Anemia of inflammation and chronic disease is a type of anemia that commonly occurs with chronic, or long term, illnesses or infections. Cancer and inflammatory disorders, in which abnormal activation of the immune system occurs, can also cause AI/ACD. AI/ACD is easily confused with iron-deficiency anemia because in both forms of anemia levels of iron circulating in the blood are low."

To some extent, your dialysis diet is determined by the kind of dialysis you choose. It's important to know which aspects of your diet need to be altered to ensure you stay as healthy as possible. Different for HD and PDCalories Adequate calories are required for any body to function and not become malnourished. But for PD patients, some calories come from dialysate solution, the cleansing fluid placed in the abdomen that pulls waste and extra fluid out of the blood. It contains dextrose, a form of sugar, providing calories and decreasing the need for as many calories from food. That's why PD patients may eat fewer carbohydrates than hemodialysis patients do.

It can occur in people with type 2 diabetes, the diabetes type that is most common and is caused by resistance to insulin, or in people with type 1 diabetes, the type that more often begins at an early age and results from decreased insulin production. Diabetic nephropathy is caused by damage to the tiniest blood vessels. When small blood vessels begin to develop damage, both kidneys begin to leak proteins into the urine. As damage to the blood vessels continues, the kidneys gradually lose their ability to remove waste products from the blood. Up to 40% of people with type 1 diabetes eventually develop significant kidney disease, which sometimes requires dialysis or a kidney transplant. Only four to six percent of all type 2 diabetes patients end up requiring dialysis, although about 20% to 30% of people with type 2 diabetes will develop at least some kidney damage. About 40 percent of all people who need to start dialysis have kidney failure from type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Symptoms There are usually no symptoms in the early stages of diabetic nephropathy."

From early articles showing associations between use of activated vitamin D and improved survival on dialysis 1 to more recent analyses showing that low 25-hydroxyvitamin D (calcidiol) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol) levels are associated with mortality in dialysis patients, 2 the observational findings have been, for the most part, consistent. The associations between calcitriol use and survival have been extended to the predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) population, 3 as have associations between low calcidiol levels and mortality. 4 It is true that patients with renal disease represent an extreme population with profound deficiencies of both calcidiol and calcitriol. Low calcidiol levels associate with all-cause mortality in the general population. 5 The elevated mortality risk is perhaps due to an increased hazard for cardiovascular events. Low calcidiol levels link with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) 6 and myocardial infarctions. 7 Studies of vitamin D deficiency and outcomes in the general population require larger sample sizes than studies of patients with renal disease because less profound deficiency is found in the former population."

The kidneys are a pair of fist-sized organs located at the bottom of the rib cage. There is one kidney on each side of the spine. Kidneys are essential to having a healthy body. They are mainly responsible for filtering waste products, excess water, and other impurities out of the blood. These toxins are stored in the bladder and then removed during urination. The kidneys also regulate p H, salt, and potassium levels in the body. They produce hormones that regulate blood pressure and control the production of red blood cells. The kidneys even activate a form of vitamin D that helps the body absorb calcium. Kidney disease affects approximately 26 million American adults."

"text": "\"Type 2 Diabetes Diagnosis & Treatment Diabetes and the A1C Test: What Does It Tell You? By Kelly Close | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated March 14, 2018Share Pin Email Print Andrew Brookes/Cultura/Getty Images The A1C test (also known as Hb A1C, hemoglobin A1c, glycated hemoglobin or glycosylated hemoglobin) is a good general measure of diabetes care. While conventional home glucose monitoring measures a person’s blood sugar at a given moment, A1C levels indicate a person’s average blood glucose level over the past two-to-three months. How Does it Work? You can retrieve an A1C test through regular blood draw. Many doctors offices also have A1C testing machines and are able to retrieve the result with a small drop of blood that is obtained from pricking the finger with a lancet. You do not have to be fasting to receive an A1C test which makes it more convenient and more likely to be done. Hemoglobin A, a protein found inside red blood cells, carries oxygen throughout the body. When there is glucose in the bloodstream, it can actually stick (glycate) to the hemoglobin A protein. More glucose in the blood means that more glucose sticks to hemoglobin and a higher percent of hemoglobin proteins become glycated."

What does a low MCHC test result mean? The average level for mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration sits around 33%. If your levels are below 28%, then your doctor may consider them too low. Levels this low can be due to blood loss over time, too little iron in the body or hypochromic anemia."

The higher the level of glucose in the blood, the higher the level of hemoglobin A1c is detectable on red blood cells. Hemoglobin A1c levels correlate with average levels of glucose in the blood over an approximately three-month time period. Normal ranges for hemoglobin A1c in people without diabetes is about 4% to 5.9%. People with diabetes with poor glucose control have hemoglobin A1c levels above 7%.

People with diabetes used to depend only on urine tests or daily finger sticks to measure their blood sugars. These tests are accurate, but only in the moment. As an overall measurement of blood sugar control, they’re very limited. This is because blood sugar can vary wildly depending on the time of day, activity levels, and even hormone changes. Some people may have high blood sugars at 3 a.m. and be totally unaware of it. Once A1C tests became available in the 1980s, they became an important tool in controlling diabetes. A1C tests measure average blood glucose over the past two to three months. So even if you have a high fasting blood sugar, your overall blood sugars may be normal, or vice versa. A normal fasting blood sugar may not eliminate the possibility of type 2 diabetes."

Well, monitoring blood glucose levels is the cornerstone of good diabetes management. While daily monitoring is both necessary and good, it does not necessarily provide an accurate measure of how successful you are in controlling your blood sugar. The A1c blood test, sometimes called the bgb A1c or hemoglobin A1c, provides a more accurate measure of your blood sugar management over time. How does it do that? The test measures your glucose levels over a three month period. Daily monitoring, on the other hand, only test your glucose level at that given moment in time.

A1c is a form of hemoglobin -- a protein in red blood cells -- that has combined with a molecule of blood sugar or glucose. As a marker for how much glucose has been present in the blood over time, elevated A1c values are most commonly seen in people with prediabetes and diabetes. However, in certain medical situations, A1c may be elevated in someone who does not have these conditions. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Blood Glucose History A1c forms naturally when glucose is present in the blood. The percentage of A1c increases in proportion to the average blood glucose level over the previous 2 to 3 months -- a reflection of the average lifespan of red blood cells. An A1c test of 5.6 percent or below is reflective of normal blood sugar levels -- or a daily average below 115. According to the 2016 ADA clinical practice recommendations, the A1c test may be used to reliably diagnose prediabetes and diabetes. According to these guidelines, an A1c of 5.7 to 6.4 percent is used to diagnosed prediabetes, and an A1c of 6.5 percent can be used to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes. Anemia An A1c value represents the percent of the total hemoglobin in the A1c form."

These variations may be due to such things as race, dietetic preference, age, sex, menstrual cycle, degree of physical activity, problems with collection and/or handling of the specimen, non-prescription drugs (aspirin, cold medications, vitamins, etc. ), prescription drugs, alcohol intake and a number of non-illness-related factors, Any unusual or abnormal results should be discussed with your physician.

Hemoglobin is the substance that carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body through the bloodstream. Abnormally high or low levels of MCH, as determined by blood testing, can be an indication of a number of problems within the body, ranging from nutrient deficiencies to chronic diseases. The MCH blood test is done as a component of a blood test called a Complete Blood Count (CBC), which evaluates the composition of the blood, checking hematocrit, white blood cells (WBC) and platelets as well as hemoglobin and red blood cells (RBC). It is usually ordered to get an overview of general health. MCH is not measured directly, but calculated based on the hemoglobin value (Hgb), which is the total measure of hemoglobin in the blood, and the RBC, which is the number of red blood cells in the blood. To calculate MCH, the Hgb is divided by RCB, yielding an average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell. Normal levels of MCH are between 26 and 33 picograms (pg) of hemoglobin per RBC."

"text": "Full Answer A hemogram measures hemoglobin, platelet count, red blood cell count and white blood cell count. Hemoglobin indicates the amount of oxygen-carrying protein in the blood, notes Mayo Clinic. Red blood cells carry oxygen, while white blood cells ward off infection. Platelets help the blood clot when there is an injury. A complete blood count also measures hematocrit, or the proportion of red blood cells to the amount of plasma in the bloodstream. The mean corpuscular volume measures the average size of red blood cells. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin calculates the amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin inside an individual red blood cell, according to WHF. Red cell distribution width takes into account the variation in size of red blood cells. A white blood cell count can determine how well a patient responds to cancer treatments, notes Web MD. Too few platelets in the blood may point to a future problem related to uncontrolled bleeding."

There are several types of myositis that affect different parts of thebody. Description The persistent inflammation that is associated with myositis develops slowly over weeks to months and often years, with progressive weakening of the muscles. Later in the course of thedisease development muscle wasting or shortening (contracture) may develop. Myositis canrange in severity from mild to debilitating. The forms of myositis include: Polymyositis (PM) inflames and weakens muscles in many parts of the body, and especiallythose parts closest to the trunk. With polymyositis, dysphagia (difficulty, discomfort or pain in speaking or swallowing), fatigue, and pain in the muscles are common. PM rarely affectspeople under the age of 20, with the peak onset between the ages of 30 and 60. Dermatomyositis (DM) affects both the muscle fibers and skin by damaging the tiny bloodvessels (capillaries) that supply blood to the muscle and skin, resulting in muscle weakness,pain, and fatigue."

"text": "How to Understand Blood Test Results for Breast Cancer Treatment How to read blood test results and what they mean for breast cancer treatment. By Melanie Haiken, Health Journalist Quick summary During chemotherapy for breast cancer, a lot hinges on the blood test results that precede each treatment session. Low counts can indicate serious side effects, including fatigue, bruising, and vulnerability to infection -- and can also mean that treatment must be postponed until the body heals. What a blood test can tell you about breast cancer treatment Complete blood counts, or CBCs, are routinely performed before chemotherapy and other breast cancer treatments to check the number of each type of blood cell circulating in the body. This test is also called a hemogram. In the simplest possible terms, white blood cells, or neutrophils, fight infection; red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, pick up oxygen in the lungs and carry it to the tissues. CBCs note, among other things, any shortage of red blood cells, which is the definition of anemia and leads to low oxygen levels in the blood. In addition, CBCs count platelets, which are components of red blood cells that enable blood to clot. Here's the shorthand: Low red blood count = fatigue, low energy Low platelets = bruising and bleeding Low white blood count = susceptibility to infection What are normal ranges for CBCs? These vary a bit depending on the lab, so the ranges that follow are guidelines rather than absolutes."

Tagged Under: Blood Tests Advertisement Blood tests are a very effective means of diagnosis of various diseases and disorders. The results of a blood test are often accurate and reliable. Most blood tests demand a stipulated time of fasting, during which you are not allowed to eat or drink anything. However, blood tests that do not demand fasting may require you to omit certain foods from your diet altogether. Certain foods may influence the results of blood tests, thereby leading to a false diagnosis. The type of foods to avoid before a blood test depend upon the type of blood test that you are planning to undergo. Foods to Avoid Before a Blood Test Fasting for blood work usually begins 8 to 12 hours before the blood test. During this time, you are not supposed to eat or drink anything (though, some tests may allow drinking water)."

Leukemia: More on leukemia is given in a separate section. We have also provided useful tips on identifying the type of leukogram that is occurring (see below). Stress leukogram This is due to increased endogenous (or exogenous administered) corticosteroids. The classic leukogram pattern from increased corticosteroids (either exogenous or endogenous) includes a neutrophilia, lymphopenia, monocytosis, and eosinopenia. Not all of these changes will be present in any given animal. The most consistent finding is lymphopenia, followed by a mature neutrophilia (increase in segmented neutrophils, but not usually bands). Monocytosis from corticosteroids is fairly common in dogs, seen occasionally in cats, and seen only rarely in horses and cattle. Although stress leukograms are frequently transient, chronically stressed animals may have a persistent stress leukogram."

However, there is sparse literature on the role of serum and urine amylase, lipase levels, etc to help predict the specific intra-abdominal injury after blunt trauma abdomen (BTA). Aim: To elucidate the significance of elevation in the levels of amylase and lipase in serum and urine samples as reliable parameters for accurate diagnosis and management of blunt trauma to the abdomen. Materials and Methods: A prospective analysis was done on the trauma patients admitted in Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Center, AIIMS, with blunt abdomen trauma injuries over a period of six months. Blood and urine samples were collected on days 1, 3, and 5 of admission for the estimation of amylase and lipase, liver function tests, serum bicarbonates, urine routine microscopy for red blood cells, and complete hemogram. Clinical details such as time elapsed from injury to admission, type of injury, trauma score, and hypotension were noted. Patients were divided into groups according to the single or multiple organs injured and according to their hospital outcome (dead/discharged). Wilcoxon's Rank sum or Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare median values in two/three groups. Data analysis was performed using STATA 11.0 statistical software. Results: A total of 55 patients with median age 26 (range, 6-80) years, were enrolled in the study."

These anemias are usually regenerative (given sufficient time for a bone marrow response). Hemorrhage can be: Internal: Into a tissue or body cavity, such as the peritoneum. External: In this case, blood (RBC, plasma) is lost from the body, e.g. hemorrhage from the skin or into gastrointestinal, urinary, respiratory tracts. Hemolysis: This is due to destruction of RBCs within the body before they have finished their normal lifespan. These anemias are usually regenerative (given sufficient time for a bone marrow response). The RBCs are usually removed by macrophages in a process called extravascular hemolysis. The macrophages phagocytize the RBC early because the RBCs are abnormal (e.g. have antibody attached to them, are more rigid, etc) or macrophages are doing something they are not supposed to because they are excessively activated or abnormal (e.g. erythrophagocytic histiocytic sarcoma, which is a tumor of macrophages, where macrophages phagocytize excess numbers of normal RBCs). In some patients with hemolytic anemia (depending on the cause and the patient), there can be a concurrent intravascular hemolysis. This is when RBCs lyse (“pop”) in the circulation, releasing hemoglobin into plasma (hemoglobinemia) that then spills into urine (resulting in hemoglobinuria)."

However, the absence of leukocytosis does not rule out diverticulitis, as 20-40% of patients have a normal white blood cell count. This is particularly true in patients who are immunocompromised, in elderly patients, and in those with less severe disease. A hemoglobin level is important when the patient reports hematochezia. Chemistries may be helpful in the patient who is vomiting or has diarrhea to assess electrolyte abnormalities. Renal function is assessed prior to the administration of most intravenous contrast material. Liver tests and lipase may help to exclude other causes of abdominal pain.

Address for Correspondence Dr. Ashwin Borade,Consultant Pediatrician and Neonatologist, Inamdar Multispecialty Hospital, Street no 15, Fatima Nagar, Pune, Maharashtra, India 411040. [email protected] Abstract A yeast-like fungus Kodamaea ohmeri is a very rare cause of fungemia with high mortality especially in immunocompromised patients. We report a rare case of K.ohmeri fungemia in a premature neonate which was successfully treated with liposomal amphotericin B. The case emphasizes the need for high index of suspicion and timely intervention to diagnose this fungal infection in septic neonates who are not responding to antibiotictherapy in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Keywords Kodamaea ohmeri, Preterm, Liposomal Amphotericin BIntroduction Kodamaeaohmeri although formerly considered a contaminant, is nowregarded not only as disease causing pathogen but an organism responsible for variety of complications in immunocompromised patients. ( 1) Most of the preterm neonates are immunocompromised, in addition invasive procedures,intubation, prolonged stay on ventilator and antibiotic usage in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)predisposes them to systemic fungal infections. ( 1,2)Our literature search till date reveals that there have been only few published cases of newborn fungemia with K.ohmeriworldwide and two in India. ( 2-6)We present a case of neonatal K.ohmeri fungemia that responded to liposomal amphotericin B. Case Report A 33 weeks preterm male baby was delivered to a healthy immunocompetent mother by a lower segment caesarean section in view of mother having severe pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). The birth weight of the child was 1.5kg. He had mild respiratory distress on admission to NICUrequiring supplemental oxygen."

For this reason, the obtained or measured “WBC” count (from an analyzer or a hemocytometer) is actually a nucleated count which includes WBC and n RBC. The obtained nucleated count must be corrected for the number of n RBC in the circulation. To correct the “WBC” or nucleated count, the number of n RBCs per 100 leukocytes is recorded during the differential leukocyte count when performing a blood smear examination. Then a correction is made as follow s: Corrected WBC = obtained nucleated cell count x [100 ÷ (n RBC + 100)]In reports from our laboratory, when the number of n RBC total more than 5 per 100 WBC, the WBC value with our routine hemograms is always a leukocyte count since we correct for n RBCs. Corrections are not performed under the following settings:n RBC counts < 5/100 WBC. Automated hemograms: The automated hemogram does not include a manual differential cell count. In most animals, the numbers of n RBCs are too low to significantly affect the WBC count, but in disorders where n RBCs are found in high numbers, e.g. lead poisoning, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, the impact on the WBC count can be substantial. When there are more than about 20 n RBC/100 WBC, we can sometimes detect the presence of n RBC by examining the WBC scatterplots from our analyzer. However, this technique is not sensitive or necessarily specific for n RBC.n RBC vs lymph Another test result reported by some laboratories is the absolute n RBC count, which takes into account the total WBC."

Hemoglobin E trait does not pose health concern, although individuals with this trait may have smaller than normal red blood cells. A newborn screening result that shows a hemoglobin pattern FAE suggests hemoglobin E trait. Follow-up testing at approximately 6 months of age can confirm this result in a newborn. A consultation with a hematologist is recommended only if a baby has signs or symptoms of anemia, or if there is a known history of a blood disorder in the family.

Creatinine: Creatinine is produced by your muscles as they breakdown creatine, a substance involved in muscle contraction. Creatinine is formed at a constant rate in the body and excreted by the kidneys, so by evaluating the amount of creatinine in your blood, your doctor can determine how efficiently your kidneys are working. Creatinine levels are measured by taking a sample of blood from your vein; then, the concentration of creatinine in your blood is compared to a standard amount for your age and sex. Increased blood creatinine levels may indicate an increase in lupus involvement of the kidney. Other conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, can also cause elevated creatinine levels."

When shown the results of these tests, most people will look at their CD4 count and viral load and pretty much skim over the rest. And even if some of the names or figures make sense, it's often difficult to understand what they actually mean or how they apply to you as an individual.

What are the reasons for an elevated phosphatase level? When should I stop monitoring a persistently elevated, but stable, alkaline phosphatase? Response Margaret A. Fitzgerald, MS, APRN, BC, NP-C, FAANP President, Fitzgerald Health Education Associates, Inc., North Andover, Massachusetts; family nurse practitioner, Greater Lawrence (Massachusetts) Family Health Center; Visiting Professor, University of Massachusetts, Worcester. The term \"\"liver function tests\"\" is often used to describe a panel of laboratory measures of a variety of hepatic enzymes, including serum aminotransferase (aspartate aminotransferase or AST and alanine aminotransferase or ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Rather than a measure of hepatic function, these tests evaluate hepatocyte integrity, as serum levels of these enzymes rise in response to a variety of forms of injury to hepatic cells. Abnormal levels of hepatic enzymes including ALP may be found in up to 6% of well adults, whereas liver disease will be found only in about 1% of the general population. This likely reflects the fact that what is considered the acceptable range of values for ALP and other hepatic enzymes reflects a population-based norm; outliers without significant disease should be expected. In addition, minor ALP elevation often occurs because of improper handling of specimen and delayed testing."

Part 1 - Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)By Rachael Miller | Submitted On January 23, 20085 1 1 1The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, also known as CMP is an inexpensive blood test that gives you vital information. Why is this important? Generally most people have not had the training to understand what the basic laboratory tests mean. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel is important because it gives an overview of exactly what and how the body is functioning. To understand just the basics of your blood tests will assist you in your health care program. When your physician says all of your results were normal, now you will know what that means. The comprehensive metabolic panel actually has 17 different tests within the panel. Within these17 tests is important information regarding your kidneys, liver, electrolytes and your sugar levels. Glucose - To determine if your blood glucose level is within healthy ranges; to screen for, diagnose, and monitor diabetes and pre-diabetes."

"text": "How Long Does Valium Stay In Your System? Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email10Valium (Diazepam) is a popular benzodiazepine medication prescribed for an array of conditions including: acute anxiety, alcohol withdrawal, insomnia, panic attacks, restless leg syndrome, and seizures. Like other benzodiazepines, diazepam functions as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of GABAA receptors. Rather than binding to the same (“A”) subunit of GABAA receptors as the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), diazepam binds to the “B” subunit. This facilitates an increase in the transportation of chloride through selective ion channels, which depresses CNS activity. As a result, most users of diazepam report: anxiety reduction, drowsiness, physical relaxation, and sedation. These effects are so potent, that the medication has been classified as a “controlled-substance” in the United States. Although the drug can provide substantial therapeutic benefit when utilized over a short-term under medical supervision, long-term usage of benzos like Valium have been linked to dementia and memory impairment. Furthermore, ongoing usage of diazepam could interfere with school/work performance, operating a motor vehicle, and even lead to addiction. For these reasons, many users have decided to discontinue Valium, hoping to clear it from their system."

Diagnosis Diagnosis of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP)ICP is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that other causes of impaired liver function and cholestasis, such as viral hepatitis, biliary obstructions or strictures, or autoimmune hepatitis, among others, must be ruled out before the diagnosis can be made. Regardless of the reason for elevated bile acids, however, the treatment to reduce the risks to the pregnancy should be followed. Serum bile acids Currently the most sensitive test available to detect Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy is the serum bile acid test, a blood test to measure the level of bile acids. It is often referred to as total bile acids, bile salts, or bile acid salts. Research suggests that elevated bile acids may be linked to risks to the unborn baby. One large study of a Swedish population found that bile acids over 40 µmol/L pose a greater risk of preterm labor, respiratory issues, and meconium staining. Other studies in the same area have also found a correlation between higher bile acid levels and respiratory issues. A large study of an American population found that moderate Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (defined for the purposes of the study as bile acids of 20-40 µmol/L) was at the same risk of fetal complications as severe Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (over 40 µmol/L), but that the rates of complications for both groups were very small with treatment. Bile acids over 10 µmol/L indicate ICP."

"text": "How Long Does Tramadol Stay In Your System? Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email Tramadol (brand name “Ultram”) is a synthetic drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. It initially hit the market in 1995 as an immediate-release (IR) drug, and was since also engineered into an extended-release (ER) drug in 2005. Compared to many other pain medications, Tramadol is unique in that it elicits an array of effects across a spectrum of neurotransmitters. It primarily acts as a mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist, thereby releasing both enkephalins and beta-endorphin to facilitate analgesic effects. Mu-receptor agonism is also understood to increase neurophysiological relaxation (which reduces anxiety) and enhance mood (often significantly). In addition, Tramadol increases serotonin (via SSRI /5-HT release) and antagonizes: NMDA, 5-HT2C, n ACh Rs, TRPV1, M1, and M3 receptors. As a result of its complex mechanism of action, Tramadol is an appealing drug for the treatment of pain, as well as a multitude of off-label conditions. However, many users of the drug may dislike its side effects (e.g. itchiness, constipation, nausea), be wary of its long-term effects, and/or feel as if the drug has lost its efficacy (due to tolerance). For these reasons, some individuals have quit the drug, but wonder how long it’ll stay in their system after stopping."

The CMP contains all of the measurements in a Basic Metabolic Panel and most of the same measurements as a Hepatic Function Panel and a Renal Function Panel . A CMP includes the following tests: Glucose: Abnormal blood sugar levels can indicate a number of conditions including Diabetes. BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen): Used to evaluate kidney function. Creatinine: Used to Evaluate Kidney Function. BUN/Creatinine Ratio: This measurement can indicate kidney disease or conditions such as dehydration or intestinal bleeding.

Understanding lab test results is especially important if you are taking antiviral treatment for HCV, which can have a significant effect on how the body functions. In general, when you look at a lab testing report, information about what is normal for each test parameter is given on the right-hand side of the report. Often reports will show out-of-range values, which makes it easy to identify problems quickly. Another important thing to keep in mind when looking at lab results is that results can vary from lab to lab. When considering lab results, it is more important to look at trends over time than at individual numbers at one point in time. There are three key areas of lab testing that you should be aware of: Liver biochemical/function testing Complete blood counts (CBC)Chemistry panels Liver biochemical/function testing Liver biochemical/function testing measures blood levels of various enzymes produced by the liver. Abnormal levels of liver enzymes can indicate how well the liver is functioning and whether the liver has been damaged. 1-4Normal ranges for liver biochemical/function testing ALT 8–37 IU/LAST 10–34 IU/LBilirubin 0.2–1.9 mg/d LAlbumin 3.5–5.5 g/d LPT 0.8–1.1 INR*ALK 44–147 IU/LGGT 0–51 IU/LIU=international unit; INR=international normalized ratio; L=liter; d L=deciliter (0.1 liter); g/d L=grams per deciliter; mg=milligram. * When taken without blood thinners."

Doctors order blood tests to check things such as the levels of glucose, hemoglobin, or white blood cells. This can help them detect problems like a disease or medical condition. Sometimes, blood tests can help them see how well an organ (such as the liver or kidneys) is working. What Is a Hepatic (Liver) Function Panel? A liver function panel is a blood test that helps doctors check for liver injury, infection, or disease. Liver function panels also can check for side effects in the liver from some medicines. Why Are Liver Function Panels Done? A liver function panel is done to learn information about the levels of: Albumin and total protein, which help build and maintain muscles, bones, blood, and organ tissue."

The most common cause of this type of blow is being hit by a car. A liver lobe can be fractured and bleed into the abdomen, even leading to death. A more common occurrence is a bruise (contusion) that heals itself. Heatstroke, diaphragmatic hernia and liver lobe torsion can also cause liver problems. Pancreatitis The severe inflammatory process that occurs with digestive enzymes can spill over into the liver and cause severe disease. The close proximity of the pancreas to the liver and the bile ducts results in some degree of hepatitis whenever there is a case of pancreatic inflammation. Treat the pancreatitis and the liver disease will regress. Anemia Hemolytic anemia can decrease the oxygen available to liver cells and lead to their death. An inflamed liver is called hepatitis."

"text": "Atherosclerotic Disease of the Abdominal Aorta Symptomsby HELEN NNAMA Aug. 14, 2017The atherosclerotic disease of the abdominal aorta is commonly known as abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Medline Plus states that most abdominal aortic aneurysms are caused by atherosclerosis, a fatty deposit of the inner lining of the arteries. The International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery considers the diagnosis of AAA if a diameter is greater than 3 cm. The most characterized manifestations of AAA, According to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, are pain, abdominal symptoms, symptoms of poor blood flow and shock. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Pain According to the Mayo Clinic, AAA does not usually cause any symptoms until it becomes very large or ruptures. It is often discovered during routine physical exams or procedure for unrelated illnesses. The first indication of abdominal aortic aneurysm is often severe chest pain. If an aneurysm begins to leak, deep back or groin pain often occurs. This pain may not respond to pain medication or position changes, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, College of Medicine notes. Abdominal Symptoms According to the Preview of the Medifocus Guidebook on AAA in 2010, abdominal pain can be felt."

This document will continue to be periodically updated to reflect the growing body of literature related to this topic. Keywords: Testis, epididymis, torsion, epididymitis, ischemia, tumor, infection, hernia Learning Objectives At the end of medical school, the student should be able to: Describe 6 conditions that may produce acute scrotal pain or swelling. Distinguish, through the history, physical examination and laboratory testing, testicular torsion, torsion of testicular appendices, epididymitis, testicular tumor, scrotal trauma and hernia. Appropriately order imaging studies to make the diagnosis of the acute scrotum. Determine which acute scrotal conditions require emergent surgery and which may be handled less emergently or electively. Introduction The \"\"acute scrotum\"\" may be viewed as the urologist's equivalent to the general surgeon's \"\"acute abdomen.\"\" Both conditions are guided by similar management principles: The patient history and physical examination are key to the diagnosis and often guide decision making regarding whether or not surgical intervention is appropriate. Imaging studies should complement, but not replace, sound clinical judgment. When making a decision for conservative, non-surgical care, the provider must balance the potential morbidity of surgical exploration against the potential cost of missing a surgical diagnosis."

"text": "\"Surgery Fi-La Incisional Hernia Repair Incisional hernia repair Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition Incisional hernia repair is a surgical procedure performed to correct an incisional hernia. An incisional hernia, also called a ventral hernia, is a bulge or protrusion that occurs near or directly along a prior abdominal surgical incision. The surgical repair procedure is also known as incisional or ventral herniorrhaphy. Purpose Incisional hernia repair is performed to correct a weakened area that has developed in the scarred muscle tissue around a prior abdominal surgical incision, occurring as a result of tension (pulling in opposite directions) created when the incision was closed with sutures, or by any other condition that increases abdominal pressure or interferes with proper healing. Demographics Because incisional hernias can occur at the site of any type of abdominal surgery previously performed on a wide range of individuals, there is no outstanding profile of an individual most likely to have an incisional hernia. Men, women, and children of all ages and ethnic backgrounds may develop an incisional hernia after abdominal surgery. Incisional hernia occurs more commonly among adults than among children. Description An incisional hernia can develop in the scar tissue around any surgery performed in the abdominal area, from the breastbone down to the groin. Depending upon the location of the hernia, internal organs may press through the weakened abdominal wall. The rate of incisional hernia occurrence can be as high as 13%An incisional hernia occurs at the site of a previous incision (A)."

"text": "How To Heal An Inguinal Hernia Holistically Home Remedies By Robert Harrington Posted On August 18, 2014Important Caveat: This alternative, holistic approach toward hernia remediation is applicable only to those inguinal hernia cases that have been evaluated by a competent physician who is experienced in this particular specialty. If an inguinal hernia is in jeopardy of strangulation, then surgery may be the only intervention that will successfully repair the hernia site. Likewise, if a hernia is irreducible over the long term and adhesions form, surgery may be the only alternative. Self-diagnosis and self-treatment of an advanced or serious inguinal hernia is not recommended because of the potential serious consequences to both abdominal and overall health. Regardless of the holistic approach utilized, it is highly advisable that a qualified healthcare professional, with direct experience in inguinal hernia remediation, be involved in the formulation and monitoring of any long-range treatment plan.— Hernia Remediation.org Getting Started Hernias are extremely difficult to remediate unless you know well two things: (i) the many techniques and treatments which can contribute to a permanent cure and (ii) the various co-factors which caused the hernia to occur in the first place. The Hernia Coach consulted with some of the most competent healthcare professionals over a 6 year period, as well as read and studied the most authoritative literature on the subject of inguinal hernia. Throughout the period of hernia remediation each healing modality, detox protocol, and exercise regimen was undertaken with great care and patience. The last thing a hernia sufferer wants to do is exacerbate their hernia, especially to the point of requiring surgery. My Story: Healing An Inguinal Hernia Holistically The Hernia Coach initially sustained his inguinal hernia on Wednesday evening of July 8th of 2008."

Hiatal hernia occurs when a small part of your stomach slides up into your chest through a weak spot, or hiatus, in your diaphragm. A symptomatic hiatal hernia regurgitates stomach acid back into your esophagus, causing the heartburn, difficulty swallowing and chest pain associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. To manage a hiatal hernia, Cleveland Clinic advises you to maintain a healthy weight, stop smoking, eat small meals at least three hours to four hours before lying down and avoid fatty and acidic foods. Consult your doctor for advice and fill your plate with healthy foods to help alleviate symptoms. Lean Meats Favor lean meats and avoid fatty meats if you have a hiatal hernia. Meats with a high fat content, including many red meats and cold cuts, can aggravate the condition. Choose lean protein sources, such as skinless chicken breasts, mackerel and cod. If you like hamburgers and meatloaf, substitute ground turkey for ground beef. Beans are a healthy nonmeat source of protein, as are tofu and other soy products as long as you don't have a soy allergy."

"text": "\"Look up autotroph in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Overview of cycle between autotrophs and heterotrophs. Photosynthesis is the main means by which plants, algae and many bacteria produce organic compounds and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water ( green arrow ). An autotroph (\"\"self-feeding\"\", from the Greek autos \"\"self\"\" and trophe \"\"nourishing\"\") or producer, is an organism that produces complex organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light ( photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions ( chemosynthesis ). [ 1] They are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water (in contrast to heterotrophs as consumers of autotrophs). They do not need a living source of energy or organic carbon. Autotrophs can reduce carbon dioxide to make organic compounds for biosynthesis and also create a store of chemical energy. Most autotrophs use water as the reducing agent, but some can use other hydrogen compounds such as hydrogen sulfide. Some autotrophs, such as green plants and algae, are phototrophs, meaning that they convert electromagnetic energy from sunlight into chemical energy in the form of reduced carbon. Autotrophs can be photoautotrophs or chemoautotrophs."

In this article, we will learn about the characteristics of these two types of organisms, and understand how they interact with each other in an ecosystem. All living organisms can be classified as either autotrophs or heterotrophs, based on how they fulfill their energy requirements. Autotrophs are those organisms that have the capacity to produce their own food. Heterotrophs do not produce their own food, and depend on other organisms for their survival. What is an Ecosystem? An ecosystem is a community of living organisms and non-living components that interact with each other in a given area or environment. A desert or a pond is an example of an ecosystem, wherein, the living organisms interact with each other as well as with the non-living components such as water, soil, climate, etc. All living organisms in an ecosystem are called biotic components, whereas the non-living ones are called abiotic components. In an ecosystem, the flow of energy from one organism to another is described by the concept of a food chain."

Autotrophs are the producers in a food chain. Plants and other organisms which carry out photosynthesis are photoautotrophs (or phototrophs). Bacteria which derive energy from oxidizing inorganic compounds (such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonium and ferrous iron) are chemoautotrophs, and include the lithotrophs. Autotrophs are fundamental to the food chains of all plant ecosystems. They take energy from the environment (in the form of sunlight or inorganic chemicals) and use it to create carbon-based organic molecules. Other organisms, called heterotrophs, take in autotrophs as food to carry out such functions."

"text": "Science Biology Q: What Is an Example of a Heterotroph? A: Quick Answer A heterotroph is any organism, including carnivores, omnivores and herbivores, that cannot produce its own food through solar energy and must feed off another life form. In the food chain, heterotrophs represent the consumers. The autotrophs, such as plants and algae, are called the producers of the food chain because of their ability to produce their food with no need to consume another organism. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is an Organism That Cannot Make Its Own Food Called? What Are Organisms That Cannot Make Their Own Food? What Are Unicellular Organisms? Full Answer All animals, including humans, are classified as heterotrophs because they consume other animals, plants or both in order to obtain the organic substances needed to sustain life. Fungi and some species of bacteria are also heterotrophs. Herbivores are considered the primary consumers in the food chain because they obtain their food directly from the autotrophs of the plant world."

Heterotrophic nutrition!Plants and animals do not obtain food by the same processes. Plants and some bacteria have the green pigment chlorophyll to help synthesize food, while animals, fungi and other bacteria depend on other organisms for food. ADVERTISEMENTS: Based on this, there are two main modes of nutrition: autotrophic and heterotrophic.1. Autotrophic nutrition: The term ‘autotroph’ is derived from two Greek words—autos (self) and trophe (nutrition). In autotrophic nutrition, an organism makes its own food from simple raw materials. Photosynthesis: Green plants, which are autotrophic, synthesize food through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants, having chlorophyll, synthesize the simple sugar (glucose) from the simple raw materials water and carbon dioxide using the energy of sunlight. Oxygen is released in this process."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What is heterotrophic nutrition?please define it briefly!Follow 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The word heterotrophy has been derived from two Greek words-hetero means different and troph refers to nutrition of food. The organisms which derive their food from others are known as heterotrophic organisms. They depend for their food on other organisms, hence they are called consumers. All animals, human beings and non-green plans like fungi come under this category. They consume complex organic food prepared by autotrophs or producers and break it into simple from to derive nourishment. Thus the difference between heterotrophy and autotrophs is basically in the mode of production of food. Due to lack of chlorophyll, heterotrophs cannot synthesize their food while autotrophs can perform photosynthesis. Heterotrophs may be parasitic, saprophytic and holozoic. 1. Parasitic: The term has been derived from two Greek works: Para means feeding and sites means grains."

They exist in oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. Algae floating in water is a common and easily found example of plankton. Animals rely on aquatic food sources such as algae to support the food chain. Oceanic Organisms All organisms are separated into two classifications: heterotrophs (organisms that attain energy from other organisms) and autotrophs (organisms that obtain energy from inorganic resources, such as sunlight). Oceanic organisms are no exception. Within the oceanic ecosystem, further distinctions can be made between organisms. Both heterotrophs and autotrophs can be classified as palegic (existing in the water column above the ocean floor) or benthic (existing on the ocean floor). Pelagic organisms include both nekton (organisms with the ability to swim) and plankton (organisms without the ability to swim). Plankton Plankton lack any type of self-propelled mobility."

Of these the majority are saprobes, feeding on dead organic matter. Bacteria and other microorganisms are responsible for the decay and recycling of organic material in the soil. Typically, different groups of bacteria play different specific roles, such as the digestion of cellulose, starches, or other polysaccharides, or the hydrolysis of specific peptide bonds, or the breakdown of amino acids. Due to the specificity of bacterial nutritional requirements, many bacteria are able to live in a small area with little competition and with mutual assistance. Many times the activities of one group will make food available for another group. These combined activities release the nutrients and make them available to plants and then to animals, as animals eat the plants. Therefore, the bacteria are an essential part of the ecological system."

Due to the complexities of SLE, there are many blood tests that need to be regularly run just to keep track of where, how, and how badly the disease is affecting your body. Lupus can go into any part or organ of the human body, making it impossible to predict, but with the use of proper and continual testing, our specialists can keep track of lupus and manage it properly.http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/adult/arthritis_and_other_rheumatic_diseases/systemic_lupus_erythematosus_lupus_85Lupus is difficult to diagnose because of the vagueness of the symptoms each person might have. There is no single test that can diagnose lupus. A diagnosis is usually confirmed based on a complete medical history, reported symptoms, and a physical examination that may include the following: Blood test (to detect for certain antibodies that are present in most people with lupus)Blood and urine tests (to assess kidney function)Complement test (to measure the level of complement, a group of proteins in the blood that help destroy foreign substances; low levels of complement in the blood are often associated with lupus)X-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (also called ESR or sed rate) - a measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube."

OH, LTC, MC, USA, and THOMAS R. HUSTEAD, LTC, MC, USA, Tripler Army Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program, Honolulu, Hawaii Am Fam Physician. 2011 Nov 1;84 (9):1003-1008. Patient information: See related handout on elevated liver enzymes, written by the authors of this article. Mild elevations in levels of the liver enzymes alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase are commonly discovered in asymptomatic patients in primary care. Evidence to guide the diagnostic workup is limited. If the history and physical examination do not suggest a cause, a stepwise evaluation should be initiated based on the prevalence of diseases that cause mild elevations in transaminase levels. The most common cause is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which can affect up to 30 percent of the population. Other common causes include alcoholic liver disease, medication-associated liver injury, viral hepatitis (hepatitis B and C), and hemochromatosis. Less common causes include α 1 -antitrypsin deficiency, autoimmune hepatitis, and Wilson disease."

"text": "What is Thyroid Disease? Common Thyroid Disease Symptoms To Look For Posted by Christiane Northrup, M. D. Women's Health An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease. Statistics show that one in eight women will develop a thyroid disorder in her lifetime. And, women are five to eight times more likely than men to have thyroid problems. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the area of your neck just below the Adam’s apple. It’s part of the endocrine system, and it secretes the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyroxine (T3), which regulate the body’s metabolic rate. Thyroid function is very complex and exerts a profound effect on the function of nearly every other organ in the body. Therefore, smooth functioning of the overall body chemistry depends on the health of your thyroid gland. Hyperthyroidism results from the body producing too much thyroid hormone, but far more common is hypothyroidism, the result of not making enough thyroid hormone. About 26 percent of women in or near perimenopause are diagnosed with this condition."

The cause of autoimmune damage may be mainly due to either autoantibodies or autoimmune T lymphocytes. Nearly all autoimmune diseases are associated with circulating autoantibodies, which may also be found associated with non-related illnesses and in healthy individuals. The immune system is able to identify cellular factors that initiate tumour formation by making autoantibodies to tumour-associated antigens - eg, novel autoantibodies have been detected during the transition period to hepatocellular carcinoma In a patient with liver cirrhosis [ 1] . Autoantibodies are often detected many years before the onset of disease [ 2]. Rheumatology Antinuclear antibodies [ 3]Antinuclear factor (ANF): Raised ANF is almost always present in SLE [ 4]. It is also associated with drug-induced lupus erythematosus (LE), systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), Sjögren's syndrome, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, mixed connective tissue disorder and autoimmune hepatitis. Drugs associated with drug-induced LE are isoniazid, phenytoin, hydralazine, methyldopa, chlorpromazine, penicillamine and minocycline. Raised ANF may also be seen in Addison's disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and type 1 diabetes mellitus ; occasionally a positive ANF is found in normal elderly people. Single-stranded DNA antibody: 70% of patients with SLE but also in other autoimmune rheumatic and inflammatory conditions, and is therefore of limited clinical value. Anti-double stranded DNA antibody (anti-ds DNA): associated with SLE. It is a less sensitive but more specific test than ANF and is rarely positive in other conditions."

While illegal drugs like cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and heroin remain in the headlines many individuals may be surprised to know that hydrocodone addiction could lurk right behind them as one of the most widely-abused drugs of addiction. In fact, the FDA believes hydrocodone may be the most abused prescription drug in the country. Nationwide, its use has quadrupled in the last ten years, while emergency room visits attributed to hydrocodone abuse soared 500 percent. Hydrocodone is a narcotic that can produce a calm, euphoric state similar to heroin or morphine--and despite such important and obvious benefits in pain relief, evidence is pointing to chronic addiction. Pure hydrocodone is a Schedule II substance, closely controlled with restricted use. But very few prescription drugs are pure hydrocodone. Instead, small amounts of hydrocodone are mixed with other non-narcotic ingredients to create medicines like Vicodin and Lortab. This means they can be classified under Schedule III with fewer restrictions on their use and distribution."

An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the level of certain liver enzymes (proteins) in the blood. Under normal circumstances, these enzymes mostly reside within the cells of the liver. But when the liver is injured for any reason, these enzymes are spilled into the blood stream.

[ 1] The symptoms of thyroid disease vary depending on the type. There are four general types: 1) hypothyroidism (low function) caused by not having enough thyroid hormones; 2) hyperthyroidism (high function) caused by having too much thyroid hormones; 3) structural abnormalities, most commonly an enlargement of the thyroid gland; and 4) tumors which can be benign or cancerous. It is also possible to have abnormal thyroid function tests without any clinical symptoms. [ 2] Common hypothyroid symptoms include fatigue, low energy, weight gain, inability to tolerate the cold, slow heart rate, dry skin and constipation. [ 3] Common hyperthyroid symptoms include irritability, weight loss, fast heartbeat, heat intolerance, diarrhea, and enlargement of the thyroid. [ 4] In both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, there may be swelling of a part of the neck, which is also known as goiter. Diagnosis can often be made through laboratory tests. The first is thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is generally below normal in hyperthyroidism and above normal in hypothyroidism.

Although AIH shows prominent predilection towards young women, it can affect males and females in all ages. The median age of diagnosis is 39 year in man and 49 years in women (1). In the majority of cases the disease follows an insidious, fluctuating course, and presents with non-specific clinical symptoms such as malaise, anorexia, jaundice and arthralgias. Especially in older patients, well established liver cirrhosis is often present at the time of diagnosis. In smaller group of cases the initial presentation is dominated by symptoms of acute or fulminant hepatitis (2). Concomitant extrahepatic autoimmune disorders are found in approximately 13% of the AIH cases. These are most prevalent in the pediatric and in elderly patient groups (2). The list of rheumatic conditions frequently observed in AIH includes rheumatoid arthritis, Sj?gren's syndrome, autoimmune pericarditis, mononeuritis multiplex and systemic lupus erythematosus. Felty's syndrome, defined by the classical triad of neutropenia, splenomegaly, and rheumatoid arthritis can also be associated with AIH (3)."

Fibrinogen is a type of blood plasma that is responsible for the coagulation of blood. It is an extremely essential component of blood. Fibrinogen interacts with thrombin to create fibrin which is essential in clotting blood. Excessive levels of fibrin will cause blood clots to form all over the body. This condition is known as thrombosis. Thrombosis can be particularly dangerous if a clot is allowed to pass into vital organs where it might result in the malfunctioning of those organs. In severe cases, blood clots can cause heart attacks by clogging the vital arteries of the heart. A low amount of fibrinogen is responsible for excessive bleeding. When a wound occurs, blood begins to flow out of it."

"text": "Lupus Blood Tests Blood Tests Used in the Diagnosis of Lupus Antibodies form in the body as a response to infection. When an invader (antigen) enters the body, white blood cells known as B lymphocytes react by making special types of proteins called antibodies. Antibodies are your body’s way of remembering an antigen; if it enters the body again, the antibodies will recognize it, combine with it, and neutralize it to prevent you from becoming infected. However, with autoimmune diseases such as lupus, the immune system can produce antibodies (auto-antibodies) that attack your body’s cells as though they were invaders, causing inflammation, damage, and even destruction. Several blood tests can be performed to detect specific auto-antibodies and help make the diagnosis of lupus. These blood tests are not conclusive by themselves, but combining the tests with certain physical findings can help to corroborate a diagnosis. Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) Test Anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) are autoantibodies to the nuclei of your cells. 98% of all people with systemic lupus have a positive ANA test, making it the most sensitive diagnostic test for confirming diagnosis of the disease. The test for anti-nuclear antibodies is called the immunofluorescent antinuclear antibody test. In this test, a blood sample is drawn and sent to a laboratory."

Abstract It has been shown that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is able to alter the immune response towards self-antigens and may enhance risk of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in genetically predisposed individuals. In this study, we evaluated the specific antibody immune response against EBV in patients with anti-nuclear autoantibodies (ANA) in comparison with ANA-negative healthy controls. For this purpose, 92 patients with an high anti-ANA reactivity with or without concomitant extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) or double stranded DNA (ds DNA) positivity were selected and compared with 146 healthy donors. We found that anti-EBV-VCA and EA Ig G concentrations were significantly higher in ANA-positive patients in comparison to the controls (VCA P < 0.0001 and EA P < 0,03) as well as in those ANA-positive patients that showed a concomitant ENA positivity ( P = 0.0002). Interestingly, elevated anti-EBNA-1 Ig G was found in a group of patients who had anti SSA/Ro antibodies. Anti-VCA Ig M Abs were more frequently found in those patients with a very high titer of ANA ( P = 0.06); moreover detection of anti-VCA Ig M/Ig G in absence of anti-EBNA-1 Ig G was more frequent in the patient than in the control group. Both these conditions correlate with a recent EBV infection or reactivation. The data suggest that EBV, particularly during acute infection or in its reactivation phase, could be involved in the ANA and ENA autoantibody formation.

These viral particles, also known as virions, consist of two or three parts: (i) the genetic material made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information; (ii) a protein coat, called the capsid, which surrounds and protects the genetic material; and in some cases (iii) an envelope of lipids that surrounds the protein coat."

The antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is widely used as a serological marker of autoimmune disease. Antinuclear antibodies are immunoglobulins or antibodies that bind to one or more antigens expressed within the nucleus of human cells. Used selectively, the ANA test can be a useful laboratory tool to help confirm or exclude the diagnosis of systemic rheumatic disease. However, the relatively high prevalence of ANAs in other inflammatory conditions, as well as healthy individuals, can make a positive result difficult to interpret. How is the test performed? Although many methods are available for ANA detection, the indirect immunofluorescence antinuclear antibody test (IF-ANA) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA)/enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are commonly used. Indirect IF-ANA involves incubating patient serum on a slide covered with a monolayer of cells from a malignant human epithelial cell line. These malignant cells are ideal for the ANA test as they have large nuclei in different stages of the cell cycle. The slides are washed and any remaining antibodies bound to cell nuclei are then visualised using a detection antibody binding human immunoglobulin which has been conjugated to a fluorescent tag."

Once attached, viruses inject their own genetic material and take over the cell's machinery to produce more viruses. The cell can undergo a lytic or lysogenic cycle. In the lytic cell, the cell is taken over, produces viruses with its own machinery and organelles, and then dies, releasing more viruses. In the lysogenic cycle, the cell does not die but instead replicates with viral DNA/RNA in its own genome. A common example of a lysogenic virus is lambda phage. However, lambda phage can also enter the lytic cycle."

The main cells of lymphoid tissue are referred to as lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes. B lymphocytes (B cells) respond to an infection by changing into plasma cells. Plasma cells make proteins known as antibodies or immunoglobulins that help the body attack and kill disease-causing germs like bacteria. T lymphocytes (T cells) help direct immune responses and also can directly kill invading germs. In Waldenstrom’s, one of the B cells transforms into a cancer cell, which then multiplies out of control. Waldenstrom’s cells can grow in the liver, spleen and lymph nodes, causing them to swell."

Symptoms can follow tricky patterns, be either mild or severe, and overlap with those of other health concerns. Along with your medical history, doctors use routine and specialized lab tests, and possibly even imaging tests like an MRI or ultrasound, to come to a conclusion. These can be used as much to rule out lupus as to indicate the disease. Doctors also look for symptoms in more than one of your body’s systems, such as the kidneys and the skin, as lupus is a systemic disease. Unfortunately, some people may suffer for months or years before a diagnosis is finally made. There are a number of factors that can complicate a lupus diagnosis. Chief among them is the fact that lupus is not one disease but an array of different subtypes, each with their own causes and characteristics. The many challenges facing clinicians include: There are no widely accepted criteria (rules) for diagnosis Lupus is a relapsing-remitting condition, meaning that symptoms can come and go. Until a pattern is recognized, the disease can often go unrecognized."

"text": "Lupus Diagnosis Antigen and Its Meaning in Lupus By Jeri Jewett-Tennant, MPHUpdated January 21, 2018Share Pin Email Print Hero Images / Getty Images An antigen is a substance that enters the body and stimulates the production of an antibody to fight what the immune system perceives as an invader. Antigens can be toxins, bacteria, foreign blood cells and the cells of transplanted organs. Other antigens, called autoantigens, or self-antigens, are usually normal proteins in the body that are targeted by the immune system of lupus patients as foreign bodies. In other words, normal tolerance of these autoantigens has been lost in lupus patients, mainly to genetic and environmental factors. More on Antigens in Lupus Lupus is a systemic, or whole-body, autoimmune disease that affects a number of different organs like the kidneys, joints, skin, nervous system, blood cells, and blood vessels. When one of these organs is being attacked by a person's immune system, signs and symptoms related to that organ are manifested. For instance, if the immune system of a person with lupus is producing antibodies that are attacking the kidneys, symptoms like protein in the urine (which can produce foamy urine), high blood pressure, and/or a rise in the blood creatinine level often occur. The launch of an organ attack starts with the immune system thinking that a self-antigen (like a normal protein in the body) is something foreign and bad. The recognition of the antigen by the body requires a combination of events, like a genetic predisposition and one or more environmental triggers, like an infection. In other words, it takes a number of coincidental, unfortunate events—a perfect storm so to speak."

"text": "\"Definition The term \"\"undifferentiated connective tissue disease\"\" (UCTD) is used to describe a condition in people who have symptoms and lab test results that indicate a systemic autoimmune disorder or connective tissue disease, but which do not meet enough such characteristics to indicate a diagnosis for a well-defined connective tissue disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) or scleroderma. Thus, they seem to have another, similar disorder that doctors call undifferentiated connective tissue disease. Although the word \"\"undifferentiated\"\" sounds vague, it describes a real problem. It does not mean that a doctor does not know what to call the condition, it just means that all or most of the clinical features (problems) traditionally seen in lupus or another connective tissue disease aren't present but some of those features are present. This undifferentiated category is distinctly separate from another group of vague-sounding disorders called \"\"overlap syndromes.\"\" People with overlap syndromes have the clear features of at least two or more CTDs, and thus may meet the diagnoses for several at the same time. In contrast, patients with UCTD do not have enough of the features of a definite CTD (systemic lupus, systemic sclerosis, or dermatomyositis/polymyositis) to be firmly classified with such a diagnosis. However, because they may have a few features from several known diseases, they are said to be \"\"undifferentiated.\"\" ( See Fig. 1)Figure 1The term \"\"undifferentiated connective tissue disease\"\" was first used in 1980s to identify people who were recognized as being in the early stages of a CTD but who did not yet meet the standard criteria for a well-defined CTD."

Our presentation will focus very heavily on Hepatitis B as representative of the Hepadna Family and emphasize human pathogenesis. Hepatitis B is extremely prevalent with approximately 300-350 million people worldwide carrying the virus. Chronic infection persists in 25% of children under 5, and 70-90% of infected adults. In Africa and Asia, up to 20% of the population are symptomatic carriers. Many carriers never develop pathogenic symptoms and disease are usually so mild that the actual number of cases could be ten times than that reported. The distribution of Hepatitis B antibody, commonly used as a marker for infection, varies through out the world as does susceptibility to the development of hepatitis disease and liver cancer ( Hepatocellular Carcinoma) after exposure to the virus."

Two-photon lithography stereotypically requires a thin glass slide, a lens and an immersion oil to help the laser light focus to a fine point where curing and printing occurs. The findings were published in the journal of ACS Applied Material and Interfaces. In the paper, researchers describe cracking the code on resist materials improved for two-photon lithography and forming 3-D microstructures with features less than 150 nanometer which is better in comparison to previous techniques which build structures from ground up, limiting the height of the objects. According to LLNL researcher James Oakdale, “In this paper, we have unlocked the secrets to making custom materials on two-photon lithography systems without losing resolution”, because the laser light refracts as it passes through the photoresist material, the cornerstone is discovering how to match the refractive index of the resist material to the immersion medium of the lens so the laser could pass through unimpeded. Investigators can now use X-ray computed tomography as an analytical tool to copy the inside parts without cutting them open and to investigate 3D printed objects by fine-tuning the material’s x-ray absorption. The only limiting factor is the time it takes to build, so the researchers are investigating how to speed up the process. These techniques could be used to harvest and probe the internal structure of targets for the National Ignition Facility, as well as optical and mechanical metamaterials and 3D-printed electrochemical batteries.

Accumulation of HCV RNA can be inhibited with alpha interferon (IFN-α) in vivo and in culture cells. We used cell-based assay systems to investigate the mechanisms responsible for the cytokine-induced inhibition of HCV replication. The results showed that IFN-α could suppress the accumulation of viral RNA by a noncytopathic pathway and could also induce apoptosis of virally infected cells in a concentration- and cell line-dependent fashion. Whereas the noncytopathic IFN-α response depended on a functional Jak-STAT signal transduction pathway, it did not appear to require double-stranded RNA-dependent pathways. Moreover, we found that functional proteasomes were required for establishment of the IFN-α response against HCV. Based on the results described in this study we propose a model for the mechanism by which IFN-α therapy suppresses HCV replication in chronic infections by both cytopathic and noncytopathic means. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive-stranded RNA virus that can cause productive, lifelong infections. Hepatocytes are the primary target for HCV infections, but other cells can also harbor viral RNA ( 5, 36 )."

Article Figures/Media77 References 367 Citing Articles Antibodies to DNA are of interest to a broad spectrum of physicians and other scientists. The presence of large amounts of serum antibodies to double-stranded DNA is specific for systemic lupus erythematosus, and some subgroups of these antibodies are pathogenic. It is likely that people are predisposed to have systemic lupus erythematosus if they can make pathogenic subgroups of antibodies to DNA and if they cannot down-regulate them appropriately. Studies of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and of murine models of the disease have provided information regarding the different types of antibodies to DNA, their role in pathogenesis, and new methods for suppressing the production or action of pathogenic antibodies to DNA in ways that target these subgroups more specifically than the currently used nonspecific immunosuppressive regimens. Different Types of Antibodies to DNAAntibodies to DNA were first described in 1957. 1-3 They constitute a subgroup of antinuclear antibodies that bind single-stranded DNA, double-stranded DNA, or both. They may be Ig M antibodies or any of the subclasses of Ig G antibodies. In general, tests for Ig G complement-fixing antibodies to DNA, especially those that bind double-stranded DNA, have the greatest diagnostic value in patients in whom systemic lupus erythematosus is suspected, and in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus the results often correlate with the clinical activity of the disease and with the risk of glomerulonephritis. However, these are not the only types of anti-DNA antibodies that can cause nephritis: some subgroups of Ig M antibodies to DNA and some antibodies to single-stranded DNA can probably cause it as well. 4-6Table 1."

Patients will often get diagnosed with other “overlap” diseases such as r heumadoid arthritis (RA), Sjogren’s Syndrome, scleroderma, fibromyalgia or Raynaud’s Phenomenon even before a diagnosis of lupus is made. This can be incredibly frustrating for you as well as your doctors.

The goal of this blog is to give a clear understanding of the diagnosis process and provide the tools needed to go back to your doctor (or a new doctor) armed with the information you need. Do you think you may have lupus? If you have shown several of the signs for lupus, you and your physician may now take the next step in determining if it is lupus or anotherauto-immune disease. In order to make such a diagnosis, the individual must first show clinical evidence of a multi-symptom disease (i.e., the individual has shown abnormalities in several different organ systems). To learn more about the symptoms that can be specific to lupus, please refer to our blog post on Lupus Symptoms and Signs."

Liver Function Tests Definition Liver function tests, or LFTs, include tests for bilirubin, a breakdown product of hemoglobin, andammonia, a protein byproduct that is normally converted into urea by the liver before beingexcreted by the kidneys. LFTs also commonly include tests to measure levels of severalenzymes, which are special proteins that help the body break down and use (metabolize) othersubstances. Enzymes that are often measured in LFTs include gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT); alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT); aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT);and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). LFTs also may include prothrombin time (PT), a measure of how long it takes for the blood to clot. Purpose Liver function tests are used to aid in the differential diagnosis of liver disease and injury, and to help monitor response to treatment. Precautions Bilirubin: Drugs that may cause increased blood levels of total bilirubin include anabolic steroids,antibiotics, antimalarials, ascorbic acid, Diabinese, codeine, diuretics, epinephrine, oral contraceptives, and vitamin A. Ammonia: Muscular exertion can increase ammonia levels, while cigarette smoking producessignificant increases within one hour of inhalation. Drugs that may cause increased levels includealcohol, barbiturates, narcotics, and diuretics. Drugs that may decrease levels include broad-spectrum antibiotics, levodopa, lactobacillus, and potassium salts. ALT: Drugs that may increase ALT levels include acetaminophen, ampicillin, codeine,dicumarol, indomethacin, methotrexate, oral contraceptives, tetracyclines, and verapamil."

Doctors order blood tests to check things such as the levels of glucose, hemoglobin, or white blood cells. This can help them find problems like a disease or medical condition. Sometimes, blood tests can help them see how well an organ (such as the liver or kidneys) is working. What Is a GGT Test? A GGT test measures the level of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, also called GGT. GGT is an enzyme found throughout the body, but especially in the liver.

"text": "Gastroenterology Save Print Share Actions Abnormal Liver Function Tests Authored by Dr Mary Lowth, 21 Jul 2014This article is for Medical Professionals In this article Common liver investigations Interpretation of abnormal liver function tests Management plan Most tests measure hepatocellular damage rather than function, so they are rather misnamed. True liver function tests (LFTs) are those that measure synthesis of proteins made by the liver (albumin, clotting factors) or the liver's capacity to metabolise drugs [ 1]. LFTs are not specific to specific systems or disease processes, yet abnormalities may indicate significant or serious disease. Interpreting abnormal LFTs and trying to diagnose any underlying liver disease is a common scenario in Primary Care. Single abnormalities in LFTs are difficult to localise and diagnose [ 2]. However, the pattern of abnormalities tests helps determine origin of the issue. This usually means dividing the clinical picture into non-hepatic, hepatocellular and cholestatic patterns of abnormality. When this is then combined with a clinical history, medication and drug history and the presence of any current or recent symptoms, it is usually possible to develop a differential diagnosis [ 1, 3]. Abnormal LFTs do not necessarily indicate any underlying abnormality of function. Traditionally, 'normal' values are defined as being within ± 2 standard deviations of the mean (of a normally distributed range), meaning that just over 95% of a healthy population will fall within the 'normal range', but 2.5% of a normal population will be normal outliers lying above it, and a further 2.5% will be normal outliers lying below it. However, as liver disease is frequently asymptomatic, this argument should not be used as an excuse for inadequate investigation. Abnormal LFTs are often inadequately investigated - which may miss an early opportunity of identifying and treating chronic liver disease [ 4]. Common liver investigations LFTs are often included as a baseline investigation for a large number of different presentations. They usually consist of: Bilirubin Bilirubin is derived from the breakdown of haem in the red blood cells within the reticuloendothelial system."

"text": "\"Blood Tests / Labs in Alcoholic Liver Disease Moon Watcher Group Leader | 7 years on site | 2487 posts\"\"My liver enzymes are high! Does this mean I have Liver Disease?\"\" So many come to the internet with this question, and while high liver enzymes can indicate a problem, there is more to reading them than one might think, and other tests that may be a better indicator of liver function and serious liver damage or disease. Liver enzymes are a fairly accurate indicator of \"\"recent\"\" inflammation and damage that has occurred in the days leading up to the time blood is drawn for the test. They are a rather poor indicator of cumulative damage and amount of functioning liver tissue actually present at the time of the test. Other factors can influence these enzymes too, like extreme exertion and physical activity prior to the test. A young man with a big healthy liver may spike liver enzymes that are SKY-HIGH coming off a substantial alcoholic binge, while an older man with advanced fibrosis may have enzymes in the normal range, even if he is still drinking. Why? It takes large amounts of liver tissue to generate large amounts of liver enzymes and a diseased liver may contain less than a third of the functioning tissue it did when it was healthy. The remaining tissue in a damaged liver will still give off enzymes when inflamed, but their cumulative output just can't match the amount of enzymes an intact liver can produce when it is inflamed."

These advances include development of new laboratory tests, formulation of algorithms to combine results on multiple measures, and more extensive applications of biomarkers in alcoholism treatment and research. Biomarkers differ from the psychometric measures discussed in other chapters of this Guide in at least four major ways. Most importantly, they do not rely on valid self–reporting, and, hence, are not vulnerable to problems of inaccurate recall or reluctance of individuals to give candid reports of their drinking behaviors or attitudes. They can thus add credibility to research dealing with alcohol treatment efficacy and can provide clinicians with an additional source of objective information on patients. Second, although biomarkers are subject to many of the usual psychometric issues of validity and reliability, some, such as internal consistency and construct validity, are not relevant to their evaluation."

It is important to realize that laboratory results may be outside of the so-called \"\"normal range\"\" for many reasons. These variations may be due to such things as race, dietetic preference, age, sex, menstrual cycle, degree of physical activity, problems with collection and/or handling of the specimen, non-prescription drugs (aspirin, cold medications, vitamins, etc. ), prescription drugs, alcohol intake and a number of non-illness-related factors, Any unusual or abnormal results should be discussed with your physician. It is not possible to diagnose or treat any disease or problem with this blood test alone. It can, however, help you to learn more about your body and detect potential problems in early stages when treatment or changes in personal habits can be most effective. Our lab, like almost all labs, sets the normal result range for a particular test so that 95% of our healthy patients fall within the normal range. That means that 5% of our healthy patients fall outside of the normal range, even when there is nothing wrong with them. Thus an abnormal test does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with you. Statistically if you have 20 or 30 individual tests run as part of a panel, chances are 1 or 2 will be slightly outside the normal range."

The liver has many functions that are vital to life. Briefly, some of the important functions of the human liver are: Detoxification of blood Production of important clotting factors, albumin, and many other important proteins Metabolizing (processing) medications and nutrients Processing of waste products of hemoglobin and other cells Storing of vitamins, fat, cholesterol, and bile Production of glucose (gluconeogenesis or glucose synthesis/release during starvation)What are common liver blood function tests? Readers Comments 15 Share Your Story Liver blood tests are some of the most commonly performed blood tests. These tests can be used to assess liver functions or liver injury. An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the level of certain liver enzymes (proteins) in the blood. Under normal circumstances, these enzymes mostly reside within the cells of the liver. But when the liver is injured for any reason, these enzymes are spilled into the blood stream. Enzymes are proteins that are present throughout the body, each with a unique function."

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important enzyme found throughout the body including the intestines, kidneys, liver, bones, and in the placenta of pregnant women. However, the bone and liver contain the highest concentrations of ALP in the body because they are the organs that greatly manufacture the enzyme. ALP is needed in liver physiology and bone development. ( 1) The blood contains ALP, which amount is maintained at a particular range of values. Gradual increase or decrease in blood ALP can indicate problems in the liver or bones. However, there are people that have high blood ALP but don’t have any liver or bone problems. They are children, adolescents, and pregnant women. Blood ALP is high in children and adolescents because their bones are growing. High blood ALP is natural to pregnant women because ALP is needed by the developing fetus. ("

The test is limited to a three-month average because the lifespan of a red blood cell is four months (120 days). However, since red blood cells do not all undergo lysis at the same time, Hb A1C is taken as a limited measure of three months. It is formed in a non-enzymatic glycation pathway by hemoglobin's exposure to plasma glucose. Hb A 1c is a measure of the beta-N-1-deoxy fructosyl component of hemoglobin.

The first fraction to separate, probably considered to be pure Hemoglobin A, was designated Hb A 0, the following fractions were designated Hb A 1a, Hb A 1b, and Hb A 1c, respective of their order of elution. There have subsequently been many more sub fractions as separation techniques have improved. ["

Written by Jeff Behar, MS, MBAReactive Hypoglycemia Reactive hypoglycemia is a medical term describing recurrent episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia occurring 2-4 hours after a high carbohydrate meal (or oral glucose load). Reactive hypoglycemia is also called \"\"insulin tolerance\"\", \"\"postprandial hypoglycemia\"\", \"\"carbohydrate intolerance\"\" and in severe forms,” idiopathic adult-onset phosphate diabetes\"\". This condition can lead to type II diabetes. Reactive Hypoglycemia vs. Fasting Hypoglycemia Reactive hypoglycemia is not the same as fasting hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar that occurs when you do not eat. For this reason, reactive hypoglycemia is not always picked up on routine medical tests. Reactive hypoglycemia occurs within 2 to 3 hours after a meal of excess carbohydrates, when there is a rapid release of carbohydrates into the small intestine, followed by rapid glucose absorption, and then the production of a large amount of insulin. Insulin is a protein hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin is an anabolic hormone that stimulates the uptake of glucose into fat and muscle and promotes the formation of glycogen."

The Hemoglobin A1c (Hba1c) test is considered to be the most appropriate test for determining how well the patient is controlling his or her blood glucose level or diabetes within a 3 to 4-month period. The test also serves as a diagnostic screening for diabetes and may be ordered by the physician if a person is showing signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus so as to confirmif indeed the disease is present. If the result yields values within the Hba1c normal range, then the patient is safe from the complications of diabetes. Sponsored link Hb A1c blood test is also called the glycosylated hemoglobin test since it measures the glucose attachment to the hemoglobin of the red blood cells. Hemoglobin is a component of the red blood cells which is responsible for transporting oxygen to the different parts of the body and carries back carbon dioxide from the cells. If the results are higher than the Hba1c normal range, hyperglycemia or high glucose levels in the blood is confirmed, and so the glucose will accumulate in the blood resulting to attachment with the hemoglobin. The red blood cells die after about 90 to 120 days (3 to 4 months), so the measurement for how much glucose is present in the blood should be done within 3 to 4 months before the old RBCsare replaced by another set of new RBCs. Knowing the Hb A1c normal range through the Hb A1c Test The Hb A1c Test makes use of a blood specimen extracted from the patient’s veins."

"text": "Print Overview The A1C test is a common blood test used to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes and then to gauge how well you're managing your diabetes. The A1C test goes by many other names, including glycated hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1C and Hb A1c. The A1C test result reflects your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. Specifically, the A1C test measures what percentage of your hemoglobin — a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen — is coated with sugar (glycated). The higher your A1C level, the poorer your blood sugar control and the higher your risk of diabetes complications. Why it's done An international committee of experts from the American Diabetes Association, the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the International Diabetes Federation, recommend that the A1C test be the primary test used to diagnose prediabetes, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. After a diabetes diagnosis, the A1C test is used to monitor your diabetes treatment plan. Since the A1C test measures your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months instead of your blood sugar level at a specific point in time, it is a better reflection of how well your diabetes treatment plan is working overall. Your doctor will likely use the A1C test when you're first diagnosed with diabetes. This also helps establish a baseline A1C level."

What is the A1c blood test for diabetes? Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein within your red blood cells that transports oxygen to tissues in your body. Hemoglobin A1c (Hba1c) is a variation of that hemoglobin molecule and it is measured in diabetic patients because Hb A1c attracts glucose molecules. As blood glucose levels rise, hemoglobin A1c becomes glycosylated, which means that sugar particles stick to Hb A1c.

Biologically, fructosamines are recognized by fructosamine-3-kinase, which may trigger the degradation of advanced glycation end-products (though the true clinical significance of this pathway is unclear). Fructosamine can also refer to the specific compound 1-amino-1-deoxy-D-fructose ( isoglucosamine ), first synthesized by Nobel laureate Hermann Emil Fischer in 1886. Most commonly, fructosamine refers to a laboratory test for diabetes management that is rarely used in clinical practice (simple blood glucose monitoring or hemoglobin A1c testing are preferred). Many direct-to-consumer lab testing companies sell fructosamine tests, but these are unnecessary and of limited clinical value. Contents [ hide ]1 Use in medicine1.1 In End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)2 Interpretation of results3 See also4 Footnotes5 External links Use in medicine [ edit]In diabetes, maintaining a normal blood glucose is essential to preventing many medical complications, including heart attacks, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy and also diabetic retinopathy eventually leading to blindness. Most commonly, blood sugars are measured by either blood glucose monitoring which measures the current blood glucose level, or by Glycated hemoglobin (Hb A1c) which measures average glucose levels over approximately 3 months. In a similar way to hemoglobin A1c testing (which measures the glycation of hemoglobin), fructosamine testing determines the fraction of total serum proteins that have undergone glycation (the glycated serum proteins ). Since albumin is the most abundant protein in blood, fructosamine levels typically reflect albumin glycation. ( Some fructosamine tests specifically quantify the glycation of albumin, or glycated serum albumin instead of all proteins.)."

People with diabetes used to depend only on urine tests or daily finger sticks to measure their blood sugars. These tests are accurate, but only in the moment. As an overall measurement of blood sugar control, they’re very limited. This is because blood sugar can vary wildly depending on the time of day, activity levels, and even hormone changes. Some people may have high blood sugars at 3 a.m. and be totally unaware of it. Once A1C tests became available in the 1980s, they became an important tool in controlling diabetes. A1C tests measure average blood glucose over the past two to three months. So even if you have a high fasting blood sugar, your overall blood sugars may be normal, or vice versa. A normal fasting blood sugar may not eliminate the possibility of type 2 diabetes."

Other names for this test are glycosylated hemoglobin, glycohemoglobin, hemoglobin A1c, and Hb A1c. How the A1c Test Works The glucose that the body doesn't store or use for energy stays in the blood and attaches to red blood cells, which live in the bloodstream for about 4 months. The lab test measures the amount of glucose attached to the red blood cells. The amount is the A1c and is shown as a percentage. Your A1c number can give you and your health care team a good idea of how well you've controlled your blood sugar over the previous 2 to 3 months. When you get your A1c result from a Kaiser Permanente lab, you'll also see another number called the estimated Average Glucose, or e AG. Understanding the e AGYour estimated Average Glucose (e AG) number is calculated from the result of your A1c test. Like the A1c, the e AG shows what your average blood sugars have been over the previous 2 to 3 months. Instead of a percentage, the e AG is in the same units (mg/dl) as your blood glucose meter."

No. The A1C test measures the amount of glucose bound to hemoglobin in the red blood cells. This binding process is related to the concentration of glucose present and the time of exposure. New cells are constantly created to replace old cells that are removed. Thus, the test meaures an average value of the glucose exposure over the life of the red blood cell (about 4 months). So, a one-day change, due to fasting for example, represents only a small change (one day in 120 days). For convenience, the doctor may have A1C run on blood drawn at the same time for other tests that DO require fasting."

Let’s first discuss the business model of electronics retailers. Companies operate on slim margins. They handle a very large volume of products and this can translate into considerable profits. Two important metrics to consider when assessing retailers are: the gross profit margin (the direct mark-up that is received on the sale of the goods), and the Cost of Doing Business (CODB) margin (the percentage of operating costs to sales). When comparing the margins of Dick Smith and JB Hi-Fi, you will note that JB Hi-Fi has a more favourable CODB margin, while Dick Smith has a more favourable gross profit margin. At its core, JB Hi-Fi is a very good ‘box mover’, with a focus on moving large items such as televisions. The supply chain is very efficient because it does not handle the goods between the suppliers and the stores, which removes a lot of operating costs. But the company is unable to charge high premiums on these goods, which is reflected in its gross profit margin. Dick Smith has a greater focus on selling accessories, which accounts for 20 to 30 per cent of total sales."

Last year we grossed 1.2 million and after all was told and done we had $50,000 left over. Let me add more information. Each partner is taking home $1,400.00 a week (after taxes), has full medical benefits, gets $6,000.00 a year invested in an IRA, and received a $5,000.00 Christmas bonus. I feel we are doing well where my partner feels having $50,000.00 in the bank for a company that does the business we do is pitiful. Any feedback appreciated."

Permalink URL http://farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/2014/09/basis-considerations-with-mpp-dairy.html Overview The 2014 Farm Bill created the Margin Protection Program for dairy producers (MPP-Dairy). MPP-Dairy is a voluntary and flexible program, run by the USDA Farm Service Agency, which makes payments when the national average income-over-feed-cost margin index falls below a farmer-selected coverage level (see Dairy Markets and Policy August, 29 2014 and farmdoc daily February, 12 2014 ). Different coverage options reflect a producer's ability to indemnify different margin levels (from $4 to $8 per hundredweight) and different coverage percentages of the farm's milk production (from 25% to 90%). In short, MPP-Dairy functions as a USDA sponsored put option, and is a financial loss management program which provides assistance to dairy farmers when the national measure of farm income, i.e., the MPP-Dairy margin, falls below a farmer-selected threshold. If the MPP-Dairy margin does not fall below the farmer-selected threshold it expires worthless and a farmer loses only the premium and administrative fees paid. Recently traders and market analyst have encouraged dairy farmers to consider the difference between their actual farm gate prices for milk and feed and the national averages used in the MPP-Dairy margin formula, i.e. their \"\"basis\"\", before making a participation decision. That is, dairy farmers with lower (higher) cash prices for milk or higher (lower) cash prices for feed relative to the national averages should consider purchasing higher (lower) levels of MPP-Dairy coverage. If basis between the cash margin and the MPP-Dairy margin is constant then the price series will fluctuate identically (perfect correlation) and there is no additional risk from the hedging strategy - what you see is what you'll get."

"text": "Liquidity Ratios: Meaning and Measurement (With Calculations)Article shared by : ADVERTISEMENTS: Read this article to learn about the meaning and measurement of liquidity ratios!Meaning: Liquidity means one’s ability to meet claims and obligations as and when they become due. In the context of an asset, it implies convertibility of the same, ultimately, into Cash. It has two dimensions time and risk. The time dimension of liquidity is concerned with the speed with which an asset can be converted into Cash. Risk dimension is concerned with the degree of certainty with which an asset can be converted into Cash without any sacrifice in its book value. Viewed from this angle, all assets will have a degree of liquidity and assets that comprise of cash and ‘near cash’ items are most liquid assets. ADVERTISEMENTS: In the context of a firm, however, liquidity means its potential ability to meet obligations. In the opinion of Solomon, E. and Springle, J., whenever one speaks of a firm’s liquidity, he tries to measure the firm’s ability to meet expected and unexpected Cash requirements, expand its assets, reduce its liabilities or cover any operating losses. Financial position of firms is considered to be good enough provided they have adequate liquidity. Measurement: The liquidity is measured with the help of: (a) Absolute Terms, i.e. by way of Working Capital (b) Relative Terms, i.e. by way of Ratio Analysis (a) Absolute Terms i.e. by Way of Working Capital: ADVERTISEMENTS: Usually, the amount of Working Capital is considered as an indicator of liquidity position."

The Break-Even Point The break-even point (BEP) in economics, business —and specifically cost accounting —is the point at which total cost and total revenue are equal.

Total profit at the break-even point is zero. It is only possible for a firm to Break-even, if the dollar value of sales is higher than the variable cost per unit. This means that the selling price of the good must be higher than what the company paid for the good or its components for them to cover the initial price they paid (variable costs).

"text": "\"MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION, SHORT-RUN PRODUCTION ANALYSIS: A monopolistically competitive firm produces the profit-maximizing quantity of output that equates marginal revenue and marginal cost. This production level can be identified using total revenue and cost, marginal revenue and cost, or profit. Because a monopolistically competitive firm faces a negatively-sloped demand curve, it does not efficiently allocate resources by equating price and marginal cost. Monopolistic competition is a market structure with a large number of relatively small firms that sell similar but not identical products. Each firm is small relative to the overall size of the market such that it has some market control, but not much. In other words, it can sell a wide range of output at a narrow range of prices. This translates into a relatively elasticdemand curve. If a monopolistically competitive firm wants to sell a larger quantity, then it must lower the price, but not by much. Comparable to any profit-maximizing firm, a monopolistically competitive firm produces the quantity of output in the short run that equates marginal revenue with marginal cost. At this production level, the firm cannot increase profit by changing the level of production."

"text": "\"Safety of Nuclear Power Reactors ( Updated May 2016)From the outset, there has been a strong awareness of the potential hazard of both nuclear criticality and release of radioactive materials from generating electricity with nuclear power. As in other industries, the design and operation of nuclear power plants aims to minimise the likelihood of accidents, and avoid major human consequences when they occur. There have been three major reactor accidents in the history of civil nuclear power – Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. One was contained without harm to anyone, the next involved an intense fire without provision for containment, and the third severely tested the containment, allowing some release of radioactivity. These are the only major accidents to have occurred in over 17,000 cumulative reactor-years of commercial nuclear power operation in 33 countries. The evidence over six decades shows that nuclear power is a safe means of generating electricity. The risk of accidents in nuclear power plants is low and declining. The consequences of an accident or terrorist attack are minimal compared with other commonly accepted risks. Radiological effects on people of any radioactive releases can be avoided. Context In relation to nuclear power, safety is closely linked with security, and in the nuclear field also with safeguards."

While internal stakeholders like corporate managers may use financial statement ratios to flag problems requiring attention, they have access to a far greater range of other financial information than external stakeholders to make their decisions. External stakeholders simply have the financial statements covering past periods as their only source of information to give them insights into the financial position and performance of the company. So a ratio analysis of the income statement and balance sheet to calculate the key financial ratios is vitally important to them. Typical external stakeholders include:existing or potential investors in the company and their share analyst.existing or potential loan providers (bank, finance company) in regard to a company's creditworthiness.existing or potential suppliers providing credit arrangement to the company (creditors)Key financial ratio areas These external stakeholders are most interested in using the financial ratio analysis to answer questions about 5 key areas of concern:the ability of the company to pay its bills as they become due.

The History of One-Way Streets Proposals to Convert Back to Two Way Two Kinds of One-Way Streets Economic Vitality Safety Pollution Social Cost Conclusion The latest fad among urban planners is to convert one-way streets to two way. The goal, they say, is to slow down traffic and make streets more pedestrian friendly. One-way to two-way conversions are being planned or implemented in Austin, Berkeley, Cambridge, Chattanooga, Cincinnati, Louisville, Palo Alto, Sacramento, San Jose, Seattle, St. Petersburg, and Tampa, among other cities. These proposals have become a major source of controversy in at least some of these cities, especially Austin, Cincinnati, and Chattanooga. By almost any measurable criteria -- safety, pollution, congestion, and effects on most local businesses -- one-way streets are superior to two way. The idea that two-way streets are superior because they are more pedestrian friendly is just a planner's fantasy that disguises their real intent: to create an auto-hostile environment. The History of One-Way Streets Most one-way streets in this country were first created from two-way streets in the 1930s through the 1950s. These conversions took place in areas built before the automobile became the prevalent form of transportation. Such areas tend to have narrower streets and smaller blocks than post-auto cities."

( February 2018) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Air pollution from motor vehicles is an example of a negative externality. The costs of the air pollution for the rest of society is not compensated for by either the producers or users of motorized transport. In economics, an externality is the cost or benefit that affects a party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit. [ 1] Economists often urge governments to adopt policies that \"\"internalize\"\" an externality, so that costs and benefits will affect mainly parties who choose to incur them. [ 2]For example, manufacturing activities that cause air pollution impose health and clean-up costs on the whole society, whereas the neighbors of an individual who chooses to fire-proof his home may benefit from a reduced risk of a fire spreading to their own houses. If external costs exist, such as pollution, the producer may choose to produce more of the product than would be produced if the producer were required to pay all associated environmental costs. Because responsibility or consequence for self-directed action lies partly outside the self, an element of externalization is involved."

Only after a product is deemed to be harmful, adulterated, or misbranded can the FDA take regulatory action. According to the FDA: 1\"\" FDA's legal authority over cosmetics is different from our authority over other products we regulate, such as drugs, biologics, and medical devices. Under the law, cosmetic products and ingredients do not need FDA premarket approval, with the exception of color additives. However, FDA can pursue enforcement action against products on the market that are not in compliance with the law, or against firms or individuals who violate the law. \"\" Adding insult to injury, the FDA tasks the companies that manufacture and market cosmetics with ensuring their safety. Not only does this pose an obvious conflict of interest, but \"\"neither the law nor FDA regulations require specific tests to demonstrate the safety of individual products or ingredients. \"\" And, \"\"the law also does not require cosmetic companies to share their safety information with FDA.\"\" So, while cosmetics companies are responsible for substantiating the safety of their own cosmetics, there are no required tests to do so and they don't have to share safety data about their products… the FDA isn't even authorized to order recalls of hazardous chemicals from the market."

For many decisions that involve relatively small variations from existing practice and/or are for relatively limited periods of time, fixed costs are not relevant to the decision. This is because either fixed costs tend to be impossible to alter in the short term or managers are reluctant to alter them in the short term. Marginal costing - definition Marginal costing distinguishes between fixed costs and variable costs as convention ally classified. The marginal cost of a product –“ is its variable cost”. This is normally taken to be; direct labour, direct material, direct expenses and the variable part of overheads. Marginal costing is formally defined as:‘the accounting system in which variable costs are charged to cost units and the fixed costs of the period are written-off in full against the aggregate contribution. Its special value is in decision making’. ( Terminology. ) The term ‘contribution’ mentioned in the formal definition is the term given to the difference between Sales and Marginal cost."

Though it's an uncomfortable sensation, in most cases it doesn't suggest an imminent structural failure, just joist spans stretched to the max. ( The most common cause of deck collapses is the structure pulling away from the building, not joist failure.) Even a deck that meets IRC requirements can be bouncy; after all, the code is meant to provide minimum standards for safety, not for comfort. For decks and the first floors of houses, residential code is based on a vertical live loading (people and furniture) of 40 pounds per square foot (psf) plus a 10-psf dead load (the weight of the structure itself), for a total design load of 50 psf. In contrast, a typical commercial deck, say at a restaurant, built to the International Building Code (IBC) is designed for live loads of 100 psf, plus a 10-psf dead load. Anyone can build a residential deck to withstand IBC commercial loads, but it can be difficult to sell the extra cost of a framing package that exceeds residential code to a homeowner who doesn't understand the difference between a deck that can hold 10 people safely and one that can host a major social event with a large margin of safety. Fortunately, there are options for building stronger decks that go beyond minimum code requirements without breaking the bank.

"text": "Hans Lang / Getty Images Cockroaches are considered by many to be one of the most disgusting of all bugs - and they are definitely dirty, spreading germs and possibly disease wherever cockroaches walk and run. All too often, they are walking across food and food-preparation surfaces to spread contamination while they nibble on crumbs. Unfortunately, cockroaches are also one of the most common of all insects and having been around for more than 300 million years, cockroaches are very good at survival. Additionally, because cockroaches are nocturnal - moving around at night and hiding during the day, their populations can build to huge numbers before you even know they are in your home. Of the approximately 50 cockroach species that inhabit the U. S., the German cockroach, and American cockroach are two of the most common species that infest homes, restaurants, hotels and other establishments. There are, in fact, few places in the U. S. where these species are not found. This article provides identifying and characteristic information on these two species. About the German Cockroach ( Blattella germanica)Identification: The German cockroach is the smallest of the common cockroaches, and the most prevalent Length: 1/2 to 5/8 inch long Body: wide and flat Color: tan to light brown to dark brown, with two dark brown stripes on the body Unique characteristics: This cockroach's size is its most identifying characteristic. Like most cockroaches, it has wings but cannot fly. Feeds on: They prefer starches, sweets, grease, and meat products, but will eat just about anything - including garbage."

Waking up in the middle of the night you might venture to your kitchen and flick on the light only to find scrambling black shadows fleeing everywhere, from your counters and walls to your floors. Cockroaches are not like having a cougar in your house - they're not going to attack you in your sleep. However, besides their inherent creepy factor, they do pose a threat in that they can carry microbes that may cause allergic reactions in humans, as well as an offensive odor. They're in your home eating your food, and they love it. Now, why you need to and how you can barricade your castle against their impending invasion. Study Your Enemy Cockroaches are often referred to as beetle-like insects with long legs and antennae that feed themselves purely through scavenging. Four of their main species are well-known pests for humans and their homes. Roaches have been known to have the ability to live up to three months without food and a couple of weeks without water and are resilient enough to survive freezing temperatures."

They don't communicate vocally with other snakes. \"\" Hiss\"\" is a popular conception of a snakey noise. Snakes generally try to make no sound at all since their livelihood depends upon sneaking up on things. This is one cause of other creatures' fear of snakes: you can hear a wolf or a wildcat coming, but a snake is just suddenly, silently there and, very likely, wishing it was a long way away from you, but those unexpectedly sharing space with a snake don't see it that way. Rattlesnakes and their relatives do make noise, but it's a defensive reaction designed to make things too big to eat go away.5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

These insects are opportunists; they like the warmth and easy access to food that most homes provide, which is why they can often be found inside residential areas. Having cockroaches is not a sign of a dirty home, but because they can spread diseases and are so difficult to get rid of once they arrive, they are considered a serious pest and something to be fought if you find evidence of them indoors. There are five basic types of cockroaches which invade homes. In addition, the type of home that you have may affect the infestation as well. Therefore, the cost to eradicate the cockroaches can vary tremendously from home to home. Most people end up paying between $75 and $450 to have cockroaches dealt with effectively. Most common types of roaches There are numerous types of cockroaches found in the world, but the pests that you may have inside your home is likely one of five different types.

"text": "There are about 3,000 cockroach species, about 50 of which can be found in the United States. Three of the most common roaches in the U. S. are the German cockroach, the American cockroach and the brownbanded cockroach. These species eat just about anything, whether it's other insects, fruits and vegetables, or garbage. But roaches are most attracted to starches, sweets, greasy food and meat products. Foods That Attract Cockroaches Cockroaches are omnivores. Although they can survive several months without food, roaches will eat anything that has nutritional value. They are especially attracted to starch, sugar, grease, meat and cheese. Decaying food items are particularly delicious for a hungry roach in search of his next meal. These household pests are often attracted to very strong smells, such as garbage or compost, but can quickly find small crumbs or a drop of grease. Household Items That Attract Cockroaches In times of an organic food shortage, cockroaches will eat household items, such as book bindings, cardboard, toothpaste, leather, glue, paper scraps, solid soaps, starch-based paints and wallpaper, dried human skin flakes and nylon clothing."

Cockroach lingo Many insects lay eggs, but female Madagascar hissing cockroaches create a cocoon-like egg case called an ootheca and carry the eggs (and neonatal nymphs) inside their bodies. They then bear up to 60 living young, called nymphs. Cerci are two appendages (body parts that extend from the main body) that the roach uses to sense objects in its environment. The two cerci are at the end of the abdomen. Hissing cockroach behavior and facts Hissing cockroaches live in large colonies.

Iv looked it up online and there are lots of websites that say that they can live for a long time with its head off, does any one know if this fact is true or not?2 following 17 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: \"\" [A] cockroach could live a long time, perhaps a month, without its head. The only reason we [humans] need our head for basic survival is: (1) We [breathe] through our mouth or nose and the breathing rhythm is controlled in our brain. Cutting off our head would interphere with breathing although that could be maintained with a respirator. ( 2) Cutting off our head could lead to blood loss and a drop in blood pressure which would result in death due to lack of blood transport of oxygen and nutrition to our tissues. ( 3) Cutting off our head would prevent us from eating and we would die of starvation pretty quickly. All of these reasons for dying are not present in cockroaches and many insects in general: (1) Cockroaches [breathe] through spiracles which are in each body segment and the blood does not carry oxygen to the tissues. The spiracles deliver air to each cell of the body through a set of tubes called tracheae. The brain does not control the breathing through the spiracles. ("

Fall promises the moderate growing conditions that will bring turf back to life. But is your turf in good enough shape to simply spring back to its lush, former self when good weather arrives? Or is it time to bring in reinforcements? Or, with cooler weather approaching, maybe you want to consider overseeding for another reason (in fact, on an acreage basis, this is probably the single largest reason): winter overseeding to establish a cool-season turf cover over dormant warm-season turf. Or perhaps an old sward is unresponsive to management practices and needs some “rejuvenation” with a newer variety.

"text": "Entry Level: $15,000-$50,000 Luxury: $50,000-$150,000E-mail Post Tweet A fifth-wheel RV is a non-motorized recreational vehicle similar to a large travel trailer but with a raised front extension that connects into a hitch in the bed of a pickup truck. This makes fifth wheels more stable and easier to control in windy conditions than conventional travel trailers. Often designed for long-term or full-time RV living, fifth wheels tend to be the most expensive, spacious and heaviest of the towable RVs, with taller ceilings, full-sized kitchen areas and multiple slide-outs to expand the living space when parked. They typically are 21'-40' long and sleep 4-8 people. Typical costs: Size and amenities (like slides-outs, a full master bedroom with bath or full-sized kitchen appliances) are the biggest factors in the price of fifth wheel RVs. Expect to pay $15,000-$50,000 for a new fifth-wheel RV up to about 30' long, with many of the comforts of home. For example, the 30' 2011 Coleman RV CTF259RE CT259 [ 1] sells for $29,000-$40,000 with an air-mattress sofa-bed in a slide-out area; a bedroom with a queen-size bed; bathroom with sink, shower and skylight; separate toilet stall; three-burner range and oven; microwave; double-door refrigerator; and more. A fifth-wheel RV up to 40' long with features similar to those in a luxury home can cost $50,000-$150,000. These may have multiple slide-outs, a full master bedroom and bath, full-sized appliances, an electric fireplace and more. For example, the 35' 2011 Carriage Cameo 35SB3 sells for $56,500-$74,000 with three slide-outs, bedroom with queen bed and bath with shower, home theater seating or two leather recliners, sofabed, furnace, ceiling fan and more."

Unlike most vises that have a fixed center nut the Tradesman round channel vise nut is anchored at the rear. This rear anchored nut provides straight line pull and even pressure resulting in greater durability. The round channel design also allows for a completely enclosed spindle and nut assembly. This enclosure keeps debris out and lubrication in for a lifetime of smooth operation. For ultimate versatility the Tradesman is equipped with main jaws, pipe jaws and a machined anvil work surface. The main jaws are serrated for a sure grip. The pipe jaws are grooved to prevent rotation of round stock and have a two step design to assure a firm hold on both large and small diameter material. Both the main jaws and the pipe jaws are fully replaceable. The Tradesman vise is also equipped with a swivel base with dual locking nuts."

Braided nylon twine is strung between the staffs to keep the seagulls off. Works on all canopies. WHY SEAGULL STOPPER WORKSWhile seagulls can land most anywhere they choose, they feel safe where they can move forward to take off and fly away. The braided nylon twine suspended above and around your canopy by the staffs of SEAGULL STOPPER is a hindrance to the bird’s flight. If seagulls were to land they would feel threatened by the confinement provided by SEAGULL STOPPER. Consequently, birds will avoid a canopy with SEAGULL STOPPER installed on it. EASY TO INSTALLSEAGULL STOPPER ATTACHES MAGNETICALLYSimply place the support plate on top of your canopy frame but below your canvas and place the magnet-and-staff assembly above your canvas directly over the plate. Magnetic force clamps the staff assembly to your canopy. Finish the installation by slipping the braided nylon twine through the loops on the staffs."

What is Macrame? Macrame (or macramé), is a form of textile-making where fibers or cords are knotted rather than woven or knitted together. Square knots and half hitch knots are traditionally used, and sailors have long used macrame to decorate accessories and parts of ships. Most friendship bracelets are macrame, and this knotting technique can be used to create other styles of jewelry as well. Common materials used in macrame include cords made of cotton or linen , hemp , leather, twisted nylon and yarn. In recent years, paracord has become another popular material. Beads , charms , links and other accents can be knotted in with the cord to create a wide variety of designs. How to Macrame Though macrame involves knotting, the process of making macrame jewelry is almost like braiding. Multiple strands of cord are knotted together using square knots in a repeating pattern."

I always make a simple mock up out of plywood or cardboard on projects like this. It is much easier to see in 3D than to guess at it with a tape measure only. If you work on projects that are all different sizes consider a table with two levels. This allows a lot more options for clamping and positioning your workpieces as well as yourself.

The magnet is on top of the screw head. The screw and magnet make contact with the bottom of the battery cell and are held together by the magnet's attraction. The screw and magnet spin, with the screw tip acting as a bearing. A homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles, the conductors of which always cut unidirectional lines of magnetic flux by rotating a conductor around a fixed axis so that the conductor is at right angles to a static magnetic field. The resulting EMF (Electromotive Force) being continuous in one direction, the homopolar motor needs no commutator but still requires slip rings. [ 1] The name homopolar indicates that the electrical polarity of the conductor and the magnetic field poles do not change (i.e., that it does not require commutation).

"text": "\"What Can Gel Electrophoresis Be Used For?by Mary Freeman By applying an electric current to a gel matrix, scientists are able to separate deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) or protein molecules. Once these are separated, a photo is taken of the gel, providing a picture of the separated molecular parts. This process is called electrophoresis and helps us to better understand and identify the molecular components of living things. Forensics In the world of forensics, gel electrophoresis is used to obtain a DNA fingerprint of a criminal. This means that scientists can accurately tell whether two pieces of DNA, one found at a crime scene and one belonging to a suspect, are matches. Molecular Biology Microbiologists use gel electrophoresis on a regular basis. The process allows them to separate and organize DNA and RNA by size, thus making it easier to study them at the molecular level. Genetics Gel electrophoresis not only provides geneticists with a clearer picture of DNA, it also helps prepare DNA for cloning and genetic engineering. Microbiology Since microbiology is centered around the study of organisms at the tiniest levels, gel electrophoresis is helpful in pulling information out about these organisms. Virology, a subset of microbiology, also uses the process to help diagnose different strains of viruses."

"text": "\"Household Power Saver - Efficent? What is the real truth? A household power low voltage saving devices has recently received a lot of attention from both consumers and manufacturers. It is generally used in residential homes to save energy and to reduce electricity bills. It is a small device which is to be plugged in any of the AC sockets in the house (Mostly near Energy Meter). Moreover, some of the companies claim that their power savers save up to 40% of the energy. Many people believe that the claims made by the power savers manufacturing companies are false. Almost all people who buy power savers do it to reduce their electricity bills. Many people who have used these power savers said that they could reduce their electricity bills with the devices; however the reduction was not as much as they had expected. Moreover, they could not figure out if the reduction in electricity bills was due to the power savers or because of their efforts to reduce their electrical usage."

Dynamo - a device that makes direct current electric power using electromagnetism. It is also known as a generator, however the term generator normally refers to an \"\"alternator\"\" which creates alternating current power. Generator - normally this term is used to describe an alternator which creates AC power using electromagnetism. Generators, Dynamos, and Batteries are the three tools necessary to create/store substantial amounts of electricity for human use. Batteries may have been discovered as early as 248 BC. They simply use chemical reaction to make and store electricity. Scientists experimented with the battery to invent the early incandescent lamp, electric motors and trains, and scientific tests. However batteries were not reliable or cost effective for any regular electrical use, it was the dynamo that radically changed electricity from a curiosity into a profitable, reliable technology.1.

"text": "\"Intro: So I know what your thinking, what on earth is a homopolar motor! Before I can show you how to make one of these simple and fun to watch motors' you might want to know what it is and how it works first, right? How it works: The homopolar motor is driven by the Lorentz force: as it moves through a magnetic field, the conductor is pushed through a magnetic field by opposing forces. This force induces a torque around the axis of rotation. [ 9] Because the axis of rotation is parallel to the magnetic field, and the opposing magnetic fields do not change polarity, no commutation is required for the conductor to keep turning. Brief History: In 1821, soon after the Danish physicist and chemist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetism, Davy and British scientist William Hyde Wollaston tried, but failed, to design an electric motor. Faraday, having discussed the problem with the two men, went on to build two devices to produce what he called \"\"electromagnetic rotation\"\". One of these, now known as the homopolar motor, caused a continuous circular motion that was engendered by the circular magnetic force around a wire that extended into a pool of mercury wherein was placed a magnet; the wire would then rotate around the magnet if supplied with current from a chemical battery. These experiments and inventions formed the foundation of modern electromagnetic technology. Materials needed: Copper wire, Double A battery, 1 half inch diameter cylindrical neodymium magnet, Needle nosed pliers, and a wire cutter."

"text": "What is a homopolar motor and how does one work? December 10, 2013 Categories, Physics electric motor, experiments, homopolar motor Matt Newby In our previous blog article we took a look at how a DC and an AC motor works and described how you can build your own basic DC motor. Even simpler than a basic DC motor, is a homopolar motor. First created in 1821, it really is the simplest example of a motor possible, and really easy to experiment with. What is a homopolar motor? We’ve already established that a homopolar motor is a type of electric motor, specifically it is one that uses direct current to power rotational movement, such as that generated by a battery. It was the first type ever built and demonstrated by Michael Faraday in 1821. Although not the configuration Faraday used, homopolar motors can be made out of a single AA or C battery, a single neodymium disc magnet and a piece of copper wire. They have two magnetic poles provided by the single permanent magnet that is used to produce the magnetic field, also required to generate rotational movement. It is called a homopolar motor because, unlike conventional DC motors, the polarity of the magnetic field emitted by the conductor and the permanent magnets does not change."

"text": "A New World Record: Fastest Ascent Made by a Drone On October 17th, 2015, Dirk Brunner took his drone to a field in Munich to prove what he already knew: that his drone could ascend to a height of 100m faster than any other drone in the world. At the field, Brunner met with a small group of doctors and professors studying drone flight who’d been invited to witness Brunner’s second attempt at breaking the record. Only a few days earlier this same group of friends and colleagues had gathered to watch his first attempt, which failed after the drone entered an uncontrolled spiral and crashed to the ground. Fortunately, the necessary repairs were minimal and the group of onlookers seemed happy to watch the second attempt. One even told Brunner that the sound of the propellers accelerating was still stuck in his ears from the first attempt. In order to ensure the safety of those present, all were instructed of the possible dangers and told to stay in a “safety zone” during the actual flight, strong lighting was added to the drone to make it easier to see, a fail safe was added to shut off all the engines in case of failure, and police and officials were notified ahead of time. Dirk Brunner preparing for his record breaking drone flight. With help from these witnesses, Brunner first set up an a fluorescent pink circle used to make optical height measurements. A barometric sensor wasn’t going to work, because most of these sensors would be too sensitive to vibration and not nearly fast enough to keep up with the rate of acceleration. So instead a camera would be used to record the flight."

"text": "\"Driving While Ability Impaired The lowest level of alcohol related motor vehicle offense is Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI). Unlike virtually all other alcohol related vehicle offenses, it is not a criminal offense (misdemeanor or felony). Instead, it is a \"\"violation\"\" somewhat like a speeding ticket...like a very, very serious speeding ticket. To convict someone of DWAI the state must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a person operated a motor vehicle while their ability to safely and lawfully operate that vehicle was impaired by having consumed alcohol. A first time conviction can result in a fine of up to $500, a jail sentence of up to 15 days and will result in a 90 day suspension of your driver's license. A second conviction for DWAI within 5 years of another alcohol related vehicle offense dramatically increases all of those penalties. In addition, a conviction for DWAI will almost certainly lead to a substantial increase in your auto insurance rates. DWAI is often a charge that a person arrested for DWI will end up pleading guilty to as a result of a \"\"plea bargain\"\". Since it is not classified as a \"\"crime\"\" and has relatively small penalties, attorneys will often seek to convince district attorneys to agree to drop a DWI charge in return for a plea of guilty to DWAI. The likelihood that an attorney can, eventually, obtain such an agreement is often based on what kind of alcohol related driving record a defendant has."

"text": "Step 1: Reasonable Number of Repair Attempts If you believe your vehicle has a defect, you must establish that a reasonable number of attempts occurred within the Lemon Law rights period, regardless of the length of the manufacturer’s warranty. The Lemon Law rights period is the period ending two years from the date the vehicle was originally delivered to you, or after the first 24,000 miles of operation following original delivery of the vehicle to you—whichever occurs first. What is a repair attempt? A repair attempt is the replacement or adjustment of a part or component to correct a defect or condition. Only a repair performed by the manufacturer or its authorized dealer or agent can count as a repair attempt under the Lemon Law. If the dealership inspects or test-drives the vehicle without making any repairs, and you later prove that repair work should have been done, this visit would also count as a repair attempt. To document repair attempts, you will need to get a copy of the repair order for each repair visit. If your complaint involves a motor home, read your warranty materials carefully to determine the authorized dealer or agent for repair. Also, if your vehicle is a motor home and, while traveling, you go to an authorized dealer or repair facility that does not have the parts necessary to repair the defect or condition, and, rather than wait for the parts, you elect to continue traveling and have repairs performed at another repair facility, the visit to the first repair facility does not count as a repair attempt. How many repair attempts must you allow the manufacturer?"

A rule specifying strict liability makes a person legally responsible for the damage and loss caused by his/her acts and omissions regardless of culpability (including fault in criminal law terms, typically the presence of mens rea ). Under strict liability, there is no requirement to prove fault, negligence or intention. Strict liability is prominent in tort law (especially product liability ), corporations law, and criminal law. For analysis of the pros and cons of strict liability as applied to product liability, the most important strict liability regime, see product liability. Contents [ hide ]1 Tort law1.1 Bicycle–motor vehicle collisions2 Criminal law3 See also4 References Tort law [ edit]In tort law, strict liability is the imposition of liability on a party without a finding of fault (such as negligence or tortious intent). The claimant need only prove that the tort occurred and that the defendant was responsible. The law imputes strict liability to situations it considers to be inherently dangerous. [ 1] It discourages reckless behavior and needless loss by forcing potential defendants to take every possible precaution. It also has the effect of simplifying and thereby expediting court decisions in these cases."

Answer: There are really two parts to your question - the liability of the “third party warehouse/transportation company” (broker) to pay your loss or damage claims, and the rights of the broker to collect reimbursement from the responsible carriers.

Used primarily in criminal law; driving under the influence of alcohol or disability law in regards to a person’s physical or mental impairment. Canada’s Criminal Code prohibits the driving or operation of a motor vehicle (car, truck, boat, snowmobile, aircraft, train or other) while that person’s ability is impaired by alcohol (§253):“Every one commits an offence who operates a motor vehicle or vessel or operates or assists in the operation of an aircraft or of railway equipment or has the care or control of a motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft or railway equipment, whether it is in motion or not, while the person’s ability to operate the vehicle, vessel, aircraft or railway equipment is impaired by alcohol or a drug; or having consumed alcohol in such a quantity that the concentration in the person’s blood exceeds 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood. ”A person can be so inebriated that he or she is unable to operate a vehicle; total impairment. Others, are below their normal ability to function: impaired. A breathalyzer provides evidence of impairment to drive a motor vehicle but there are many other ways to prove impairment. In R v Mc Kenzie, as far back as 1955, the Alberta Court observed that:“There appears to be no single test or observation of impairment of control of faculties, standing alone, which is sufficiently conclusive. There should be consideration of a combination of several tests and observations such general conduct, smell of the breath, character of the speech, manner of walking, turning sharply, sitting down an rising, picking up objects, reaction of the pupils of the eyes, character of the breathing. “If a combination of several tests and observations show a marked departure from what is usually considered as the normal, it seems a reasonable conclusion that the driver is intoxicated with consequent impairment of control of faculties and therefore that his ability to drive is impaired. ”Relying in part on R v Mc Kenzie, the Quebec Court of Appeal, in R v Laprise, wrote, in 1996:“The impairment of one's ability to drive is generally understood as meaning the alteration of one's judgment an decrease in one's physical abilities.... (T)his impairment does not need to reach an particular level. ("

Sometimes people refer to the tentative answer as \"\"an educated guess.\"\" Keep in mind, though, that the hypothesis also has to be testable since the next step is to do an experiment to determine whether or not the hypothesis is right!A hypothesis leads to one or more predictions that can be tested by experimenting.

In patients with Grave's Disease (GD), PTU likely also exerts a beneficial effect on the immune disturbance underlying the development of GD, as discontinuation of PTU after an appropriate treatment course (12-24 months for most patients) is frequently association with disease remission, which may be long lasting or permanent. Some patients experience a bit of nausea, or mild stomach upset and many patients find that PTU leaves a bitter aftertaste. The initial dosing requirements depend in part on the severity of the hyperthyroidism present, and range from 100-400 mg daily in most patients. Given the short half life of PTU it usually needs to be taken in multiple daily divided doses. More severe hyperthyroidism may require initial treatment with higher doses of PTU. Patients with reduced kidney function or kidney failure often require a reduced dose of PTU. Drug allergies and side effects Side effects of PTU are rare, and may range from rash, itching, or hives, to more severe conditions such as agranulocytosis (the white blood cell count decreases or disappears, leading to increased risk of infection). Agranulocytosis is estimated to occur in ~1:400 patients. A warning sign of a problem with your white blood cells is the development of a sore throat, fever, or other indications of severe infection, which should prompt the patient to see their physician and obtain a white blood count test."

A woman’s “sexual self and self-image, intimate relationships, family, society, and culture” and “the complexities of her environment, sexual and partner history, past relationships, mental health status, current medical problems, and hormonal status” all impact female sexual function. 1 In men, “the pathways that lead to arousal and orgasm have been mapped,” 2 but this information is lacking for the female body. FSD was categorized into 4 types by the 1994 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition: those affecting desire, arousal, and orgasm and a type associated with sexual pain. 3 Loss of libido or decreased sexual desire can be a serious adverse effect that impacts both men and women and can lead to decreased quality of life or relationship dysfunction. “ Libido problems may be related to hypogonadism, hyperprolactinemia, depression, fear of sexual failure, certain medications, or systemic illness.” 4 Many medications can be a cause of decreased or loss of libido. Loss of libido is inherently connected with all other aspects of sexual dysfunction, although it cannot be assumed that all medications that list sexual dysfunction as an adverse effect include specifically loss of libido. Patients can have orgasm dysfunction (anorgasmia) or erectile dysfunction without loss of libido, and some medications can affect just libido, just erectile function, or just orgasm function, whereas others can affect any combination."

It’s the latest fight in LGBTQ battlegrounds across the world: transgender rights. From Caitlyn Jenner’s gender transitioning to the battle over bathroom access, transgender news is flooding the mainstream. And while being transgender is as old as the human race itself, for many people, the topic is new. How does someone transition from one gender to another? What are transgender people, and what do they look like? For the uninitiated, here’s your primer on being transgender and being a good transgender ally. What is gender identity? Gender identity is the innate, internal understanding that one has of their own gender. It’s the subconscious realization that one is a man, a woman, or doesn’t fit neatly into either of those categories."

"text": "Hormone Therapy How can hormones affect the growth of breast cancer? Hormones like estrogen and progesterone are chemicals produced by glands in the body. Normally, these hormones help regulate body cycles, like menstruation. However, sometimes these same hormones can cause cancer to grow. The pathologist will perform tests on the breast cancer cells to determine if they have receptors that feed on estrogen or progesterone, stimulating their growth. If the cancer cells have these receptors, your doctor may recommend hormone therapy drugs, such as blockers or inhibitors. Both types of drugs help to destroy cancer cells by cutting off their supply of hormones. What do hormone blockers do to get rid of breast cancer? The most common hormone therapy drug is Tamoxifen. It blocks the estrogen-shaped openings in the cells, preventing estrogen-fueled cancers from growing."

There is an enzyme in the body called 5-Alpha-Reductase (5AR), which converts the hormone Testosterone into another hormone - Di-Hydro-Testosterone (DHT). The DHT is produced internally inside the body and also topically on the scalp. ( DHT which is formed inside the body is produced from the 5AR enzyme - Type 2. The DHT that is formed topically on the scalp is converted from the 5AR enzyme - Type 1. ) This DHT finds its way to the scalp hair follicles and then plugs into specific points inside the hair follicles, called Androgen Receptor Sites. Once there, the DHT causes a change in the growth pattern of the hair follicles, so that they start to grow smaller. The result is that the hair strands inside those affected hair follicles also grow smaller, thinner and weaker. Sometimes those hairs also grow lighter in color. At the same time, the blood vessels leading to the roots of those hair follicles also tend to shrink in size."

It is relatively easy to treat. If left untreated, however, it can have serious consequences. Graves' disease is an autoimmune condition. This meaning that the body's immune system mistakes healthy cells for foreign invaders and attacks them. It is the most common autoimmune disorder in the United States. A number of conditions can cause hyperthyroidism, but Graves' disease is the most common, affecting around 1 in 200 people. It most often affects women under the age of 40, but it is also found in men.

"text": "Beta-Blockers for Heart Failure Examples Generic Name Brand Namebisoprolol Zebetacarvedilol Coregmetoprolol Lopressor How It Works Beta-blockers are a class of drugs used to control symptoms of heart failure that are made worse by certain hormones called catecholamines. The body releases these hormones as part of its response to heart failure. For this and other reasons, beta-blockers have been shown to be effective for treating most people who have heart failure. Beta-blockers may work by slowing the heart rate, which allows the left ventricle (the main pumping chamber of the heart) to fill more completely. Some of these medicines may also help open or widen blood vessels in the body. This makes them especially useful in some people with certain forms of heart failure who may also have high blood pressure. Bisoprolol, carvedilol, and metoprolol are some of the beta-blockers that have been tested for use in the treatment of heart failure. Why It Is Used Beta-blockers can slow the progression of systolic forms of heart failure. Beta-blockers may be used to treat left ventricular systolic dysfunction in people who are stable and have no symptoms or only mild to moderate heart failure symptoms. Beta-blockers may be used together with other medicines that are usually used to treat heart failure, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or diuretics."

"text": "\" [–] tgjer 24 points 4 years ago *The definition of \"\"prepubescent gender dysphoria\"\" in medical literature gets really ambiguous. In particular, a lot of the kids being lumped into the same category here aren't expressing actual distress about being seen as Gender A or identifying themselves as Gender B. Many of them are just kids with gender-atypical interests or mannerisms, whose parents think this is a problem that needs \"\"treatment. \"\" Kids are very intuitive, and will pick up on it if their family or peers disapprove of aspects of their personality because they're \"\"feminine\"\" (if male) or \"\"masculine\"\" (if female). That can cause serious distress in the child, even more if the parents/community aren't just subtly disapproving but actively punish the child for their gender-variant traits. That distress is real, but it's a very different matter from gender dysphoria itself. Fortunately, the medically recommended response is the same in either case - let the kid lead. If the parents are uncomfortable with their male child being \"\"feminine\"\" or female child being \"\"masculine,\"\" the parents need to deal with that and stop intentionally or unintentionally placing this discomfort on their child. If a child just has gender atypical interests or traits, helping their family and peers get over their discomfort with it will solve the problem. If the child express not just gender-variant interests but specifically a gender identity other than the one they've been assumed to be, that's when transition should be considered. Again, let the kid lead."

The easiest way to assessing the probable market value of old cuckoo clocks is through an expert horologist or a clock appraiser. While this path may be convenient, it entails a risk. In any valuation, it is important to remember that your spending should be limited to what your purpose dictates. So if you plan on selling your cuckoo clock, you have to make sure its market price is more than the appraiser’s fee. This is where preliminary appraisal enters. Before having the cuckoo clock appraised, you can perform a self-appraisal to estimate its worth. Appraising antique cuckoo clocks is less complicated when compared to other antique timepieces primarily because cuckoo clock production has mostly been limited to the Black Forest region in Germany. We are going to start the initial assessment by discussing four factors that significantly affect the value of an old cuckoo clock. Is it a Black Forest cuckoo clock?"

Founded in 1837 by Raphael Picard, the Invicta watch company sought to provide a high quality watch and a price that anyone could afford. Are Invicta Watches High End? A first in the Swiss watch industry, the marriage of quality and affordability made the Picard family a cornerstone in the Swiss watch makers market. Swiss chronographs have an enduring reputation for being of the highest quality, and have captured the world market. When the quartz movement was introduced in the 1970s, Invicta nearly disappeared from the market, making the Invicta watches of this time period highly collectible. The Picard family continued to operate the company until 1991 – when it was sold to an investment company that is now based in Florida in the United States. Invicta Watches Manufacturer Under the leadership of CEO Eyal Lalo, a third generation watch maker himself, Invicta Watches have enjoyed a resurgence under the banner Invicta Watch Group, and have once again become a desirable timepiece.

Dr. George Daniels, CBE, DSc, FBHI, FSA (19 August 1926 – 21 October 2011) is considered by many to have been the finest horologist in the world during his lifetime and indeed, the last 250 years. Dr. Daniels was perhaps most famous for inventing the Co-axial Escapement, which revolutionised mechanical watchmaking. This has been used by Omega in their highest-grade watches since 1999. George Daniels was one of the few modern watchmakers who could create a complete watch by hand, including the movement, case and dial. To achieve this, he had to master the thirty-two individual disciplines which are required to make a watch. During his career, George Daniels completed 27 watches, (not including prototypes). Throughout his career he applied himself relentlessly to the major task of redesigning the mechanical watch escapement to compete and, in the long term, outperform, the quartz watch which had threatened its future.

Up to now it was either guess (dead-reckoning) or carry long, heavy telescopes and awkward pendulum clocks, which couldn't be used aboard ship anyway, to track a tiny Jovian moon after the manner of Cassini, the elder. Neither method was proving satisfactory and there ware numerous ship-wrecks owing to incorrect guestimates of position. Since \"\"The Discovery of the Longitude is of such Consequence to Great Britain for the safety of the Navy and Merchant Ships is well as for the improvement of Trade that for want thereof many Ships have been retarded in their voyages, and many lost...\"\" Parliament, in 1774, voted to offer a reward (£10,000 for any method capable of determining a ship's longitude within one degree; £15,000, within 40 minutes, and £20,000 within one half a degree) \"\"for such person or persons as shall discover the Longitude.\"\" The Board of Longitude, composed of scientists and admirals was permanently set up to examine proposals and check results of accuracy tests. John Harrison was born at Foulby in Yorkshire, the eldest son of a carpenter. He was given a watch when he was six to amuse him while in bed with smallpox. He spent hours listening to it and studying its moving parts. Harrison learned his father's trade, made extra money surveying land, read lectures on mechanics and physics, made and repaired clocks. He was a man of many skills and used these to improve on the way clocks were built."

"text": "\"Pre-historic man did not have a need for clocks, but as civilization evolved, that all chnaged. The historical record reveals that approximatley 5000 to 6000 years ago great civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa began to make clocks to augment their calendars. With their attendant bureaucracies, formal religions, and other burgeoning societal activities, these cultures apparently found a need to organize their time more efficiently. A clock (from the Latin cloca - bell) is an instrument for measuring time and for measuring time intervals of less than a day - as opposed to a calendar. Those used for technical purposes, of very high accuracy, are usually called chronometers. A portable clock is called a watch. The clock in its most common modern form (in use since at least the 14th century) displays the hours, minutes and, sometimes, seconds that pass during a twelve- or twentyfour-hour period. One of the key drivers of inventing methods of keeping track of time were the farmers needs to determine the best time to plant. Archaeologists have discovered bones with inscriptions that are believed to have been used to track lunar cycles. The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, requiring a physical process that will proceed at a known rate and a way to gauge how long that process has run."

This part of our guide will help you understand the different watch movements so that you can decide which one is right for you. What to consider with watch movements Prior to choosing your movement you may want to consider aspects such as winding or changing the battery, time accuracy and general maintenance. Mechanical and automatic watch movements Some of the first movements were made of steel, featuring a one hour hand and had to be wound twice a day. The first self winding movement was invented for pocket watches in 1770 by Swiss horologist Abraham Louis Perrelet. Once the spring power mechanism was used to power the timepiece, the wrist watch evolved. The mechanism was designed to wind as the wearer moved, which is still the case today. Mechanical movements feature moving parts that wind up manually or automatically. The main component of a mechanical movement is the mainspring, a spring that gradually unwinds and transmits energy."

Whether it be photographs of a person’s vacation, ticket stubs from ballgames, souvenirs of trips, pictures of one’s children, athletes’ trophies, kids’ report cards or those who collect “junk” (pack-rats) and dispose of it in garage sales. The evolution of collecting On the more formal side of “collecting,” it does seem that growing up we all collected something we made into a hobby. It could have begun with baseball cards, marbles or stamps. Then it moved on to antique books, Longaberger baskets, state quarters or Atmos clocks. For others it was collecting the really unusual that worked best for them. People actually collect bad poetry, barbed wire, knock-knock jokes, wax paper liners out of cereal boxes, swizzle sticks, string, mouse pads, phone books, type fonts, clothing of famous people or Mersenne primes (prime numbers). Indeed, some collectors even collect collecting guides. And, speaking of the unusual, what about the names for the people who collect things?"

By William George Shuster The president of the United States lives under a microscope; every detail of the commander-in-chief’s life is examined and scrutinized, right down to what instrument the president chooses to tell the time. While a small piece of the presidential wardrobe, watches are selected by their owners carefully, and through observation and study, historians and horologists have been offered a glimpse into the lives of our nation’s leaders through their timepieces. U. S. presidents each have had and used a number of watches, most of them gifts from family, friends, colleagues, admirers and watchmakers. Dwight Eisenhower, for example, had enough watches “to open a small shop,” reported a Swiss watch and jewelry journal in 1956. Other presidents, including Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Harry Truman and Bill Clinton, have been avid timepiece enthusiasts. Watches have been essential to U. S. presidents’ work and wardrobe since the Republic began. They’ve kept them on schedule, been personal keepsakes and even had their own moments of fame. They’ve ranged from gold watches to plastic-encased ones, from renowned to obscure brands, and many were worn during defining moments in U. S. history.

There is a lot of speculative science from the man who invented the diet, but actual evidence in support of the diet’s efficacy is severely lacking.105CLAIMDiets tailored to one’s specific blood type are capable of reducing myriad ailments, improving digestion, enabling weight loss, and providing increased energy. RATINGUnproven ORIGINIn 1996, naturopathic doctor Peter D’Adamo published the book Eat Right For Your Type, which presented the hypothesis that diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes tailored to one’s blood type are an effective tool for weight loss, increased energy, and the reduction of myriad other ailments. This has popularly become known as the “blood type diet”, for which he is the primary proponent. D’Adamo’s website provides this description: A naturopathic physician who is also an author, researcher-educator, Ivesian, amateur horologist, budding software developer and air-cooled enthusiast. He is considered a world expert in glycobiology, principally the ABO (ABH) blood groups and the secretor (FUT2) polymorphisms. Since its original publication, Eat Right For Your Type has sold over seven million copies, has been promoted by popular (but scientifically unreliable) health personalities like Dr. Oz and has created an entire industry built around the diet, including a series of follow up-books, cookbooks, a variety of blood tests for sale, and other supplements. There are many different ways to classify blood types, but the most common (and the primary one D’Adamo employs) is the ABO system, which is determined by the presence or absence of two genetically regulated antigens – A and B – attached to the surface of red blood cells. The four blood type groups are A, B, AB, and O. Superficially, there might appear to be a wealth of complex, technical, and well-documented support for the concept. In addition to his popular books, D’Adamo has written numerous detailed blog posts describing how blood types might affect the body."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Escapement (disambiguation). Animation of anchor escapement, widely used in pendulum clocks. An escapement is a device in mechanical watches and clocks that transfers energy to the timekeeping element (the \"\"impulse action\"\") and allows the number of its oscillations to be counted (the \"\"locking action\"\"). The impulse action transfers energy to the clock's timekeeping element (usually a pendulum or balance wheel) to replace the energy lost to friction during its cycle and keep the timekeeper oscillating. The escapement is driven by force from a coiled spring or a suspended weight, transmitted through the timepiece's gear train. Each swing of the pendulum or balance wheel releases a tooth of the escapement's escape wheel gear, allowing the clock's gear train to advance or \"\"escape\"\" by a fixed amount. This regular periodic advancement moves the clock's hands forward at a steady rate. At the same time the tooth gives the timekeeping element a push, before another tooth catches on the escapement's pallet, returning the escapement to its \"\"locked\"\" state. The sudden stopping of the escapement's tooth is what generates the characteristic \"\"ticking\"\" sound heard in operating mechanical clocks and watches. Escapements are used elsewhere as well."

The hourglass was one of the earlier timekeeping devices and has become a symbol of the concept of time. For thousands of years, devices have been used to measure and keep track of time. The current sexagesimal system of time measurement dates to approximately 2000 BC from the Sumerians. The Egyptians divided the day into two 12-hour periods, and used large obelisks to track the movement of the sun. They also developed water clocks, which were probably first used in the Precinct of Amun-Re, and later outside Egypt as well; they were employed frequently by the Ancient Greeks, who called them clepsydrae. The Zhou dynasty is believed to have used the outflow water clock around the same time, devices which were introduced from Mesopotamia as early as 2000 BC. Other ancient timekeeping devices include the candle clock, used in ancient China, ancient Japan, England and Mesopotamia; the timestick, widely used in India and Tibet, as well as some parts of Europe; and the hourglass, which functioned similarly to a water clock. The sundial, another early clock, relies on shadows to provide a good estimate of the hour on a sunny day.

That type of experience. May 5, '10The company you work for will train you. You should have a basic knowledge of what a certain kind of patient needs for a certain inpatient stay. There are two online services that insurance companies and facilities use to give guidelines based on age, service, and co-morbidities. For example a 55 year old with a total hip replacement and no medical history other than arthritis, will need a much shorter stay than an 85 year old total hip secondary to fracture with dementia and COPD. Utilization reviewers make sure the patient gets only what they need, and at the lowest level of care where it can be provided. ("

"text": "\"Perspective > Medscape Nurses > Nursing Perspectives Ambulatory Care Nursing: Yes, It's a Specialty Laura A. Stokowski, RN, MSDisclosures September 26, 2011In This Article Ambulatory Nursing Opportunities in Ambulatory Care A New Direction for Nursing References Opportunities in Ambulatory Care Change is in the air for ambulatory nursing. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) will ensure access to health insurance for as many as 40 million currently uninsured Americans, and these patients are expected to flood the healthcare system, especially ambulatory care settings. The ACA also emphasizes primary care and prevention, 2 pillars of ambulatory care, along with the medical home model of care delivery. These changes will increase the demand for ambulatory care services and increase patient volume in existing practices. Nurses will be needed for newer ambulatory roles such as care coordination, chronic disease management, and telehealth. Fortunately, ambulatory care registered nurses (RNs) possess the unique skills that will be required in the new healthcare landscape. Ambulatory care RNs can facilitate patient care services by managing and individualizing care for patients and their families, who increasingly require assistance navigating the intricacies of the healthcare system. [ 1] In addition to the provision of complex procedural care, ambulatory care nurses provide support with decision-making, patient education, and coordination of services. [ 1]The bottom line is that ambulatory care nurses will be in great demand, and as hospitals hire fewer nurses, those who are looking for jobs will increasingly look to ambulatory care settings to secure positions. However, many nurses don't have a grasp of what ambulatory care really means."

"text": "Health Insurance What Does a Case Manager Do? By Elizabeth Davis, RNUpdated February 16, 2018Share Pin Email Print Eric Audras/Getty Images Has your health insurance company assigned you a case manager? Are you being seen by a case manager in a hospital or home health company? Are you a nurse who wants to become a case manager? Not sure just exactly what a case manager does, why you need one, or what you'd be doing if you became a case manager? Here’s what you need to know. Case Management Can Mean Different Things in Different Areas First, you should know that what a case manager does depends on the setting in which he or she works. For example, a case manager working for a home health care company will be providing very different services than a case manager at a health insurance company, workers' compensation insurance company, or hospital. However, there are certain things consistent across all case management roles. Namely, case managers evaluate a patient’s needs and available resources."

Without blood and the oxygen it carries, part of the heart starts to die. A heart attack doesn't have to be deadly. Quick treatment can restore blood flow to the heart and save your life. Your doctor might call a heart attack a myocardial infarction, or MI. Your doctor might also use the term acute coronary syndrome for your heart attack or unstable angina. What is angina, and why is unstable angina a concern? Angina (say \"\"ANN-juh-nuh\"\" or \"\"ann-JY-nuh\"\") is a type of chest pain or discomfort that occurs when there is not enough blood flow to the heart. Angina can be dangerous."

The code is being developed by a panel of patients, physicians, ethicists, plan executives, and patient advocates convened by ACP-ASIM. On July 15, ACP-ASIM's Board of Regents endorsed the panel's report, \"\"Ethics in Practice: Managed Care and the Changing Health Care Environment\"\"; endorsements from other organizations are now being sought. The code is scheduled for publication later this year. The process can be followed at «http://www.acponline.org/ethics/map_mgdcare.htm». Earlier this year, at ACP-ASIM's annual meeting in Atlanta, four members of its managed care ethics working group held a panel discussion from which this article is drawn. They discussed the dangers of slipping back into fee-for-service thinking, ethical questions that practicing physicians face, moral choices that challenge physicians, and a reminder of the ethical responsibilities of patients. What's wrong Daniel P. Sulmasy, MD, Ph DLast year, the Institute for Bioethics at New York Medical College published a national survey of more than 1,500 physicians. Among our findings:17 percent believed that it was ethically appropriate for physicians to be given incentives to limit the care they give each patient;9 percent thought that it would be ethical for physicians to abide by a gag clause, whether written into a managed care contract or suggested, even if refusing to abide meant that they would be penalized for that decision;81 percent thought that the profession's ethic of undivided loyalty to patients had diminished in the last 10 years; and51 percent thought that their patients' trust in them had diminished in the last five years. That's the lay of the land."

Nurses who specialize in various areas are often in even higher demand. The 20 specialties listed here were chosen based upon a combination of demand, salary, and settings. Over 100 different nursing specialties exist, each of them with different demands, settings, and schedules. Nevertheless, the specialties listed in this article were chosen to cover a wide range of nursing interests. If you’re into nursing, there’s something here for you!A Word About Salaries The salaries listed here come as much as possible from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, though some are also drawn from other sources. No matter what the median salary for a specialty, nursing salaries vary widely based on where the jobs are located. If you live in one of the less-populated states, your salary may be about half of the median. If you live in a very populous state, it may be higher. When making any employment decision, take the time to find out what the salary ranges in your particular geographical area are."

A Look at the Everyday Healthcare Heroes By Anna Heinrich on 7/31/2017 4 Comments From Scrubs to Nurse Jackie to Chicago Med, you’ve seen nurses portrayed multiple times on TV. Sure, they wear scrubs, give shots and carry stethoscopes around their necks, but what does a registered nurse actually do? More than you might think!For starters, registered nurses (RNs) are not limited to working in hospital settings. RNs can also work in clinics, schools, assisted living facilities, homes, schools and more. They can also specialize in areas such as cardiac care, midwifery, family practice, geriatrics, labor and delivery and emergency nursing. Increased access to healthcare and an aging Baby Boomer population have led to high demand for registered nurses. In fact, employment for RNs is projected to increase 16 percent through 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That growth coupled with the above-average earning potential makes a registered nursing career sound appealing. The various benefits of being a nurse have you considering this career."

"text": "\"Questions and Answers for Patients, Families, and Surrogates Health care consumers with serious illnesses have greater access to information about palliative care as a result of two New York State laws. The Palliative Care Information Act (PCIA) and the Palliative Care Access Act (PCAA) require health care providers to make available to patients with serious illnesses, and their families, information about their condition, their treatment options, and palliative care services. The PCIA requires physicians and nurse practitioners to offer terminally-ill patients information and counseling concerning treatment options, palliative care and end-of-life options. The PCAA imposes certain requirements on hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies and two types of assisted living residences (enhanced and special needs) regarding palliative care. It requires these entities to make available information and counseling regarding options for palliative care and to facilitate access to palliative care to patients with advanced life limiting conditions and illnesses.1) Question: What is the Palliative Care Information Act (PCIA)?2) Question: What is the Palliative Care Access Act (PCAA)?3) Question: What is the difference between the Palliative Care Information Act and the Palliative Care Access Act?4) Question: What is palliative care and how can it help me?5) Question: What will palliative care add to the care I am receiving now?6) Question: Why would my health care practitioner suggest that I get palliative care?7) Question: What does it mean if I ask for palliative care?8) Question: What kind of questions would be good to ask my health care practitioner about palliative care if I think it might be good for me?9) Question: What questions should I ask of my health care practitioner to make sure that my personal beliefs, values, and goals are considered in the palliative plan of care?10) Question: If I want to have palliative care, can I keep my doctor or nurse?11) Question: What happens if I change my mind and want to stop getting palliative care?12) Question: If I ask for palliative care, does it mean I am \"\"giving up'?13) Question: How is palliative care different from hospice?14) Question: Do I have to be in a hospital to receive palliative care?15) Question: Can you explain how palliative care is paid for? Does my insurance cover palliative care?16) Question: Is palliative care available for children?17) Question: What makes palliative care for children different than palliative care for adults?18) Question: How do I explain to my child why he/she needs palliative care services?19) Question: Where can I find palliative care services for my child?20) Question: Do the Palliative Care Information Act and the Palliative Care Access Act apply to children?21) Question: Must children themselves be informed of their palliative care options and right to access palliative care services?1) Question: What is the Palliative Care Information Act (PCIA)? Answer: The Palliative Care Information Act (PCIA) requires the attending health care practitioner to offer to provide patients with a terminal illness with information and counseling regarding palliative care and end-of-life options appropriate to the patient, including: Prognosis;Range of options appropriate to the patient;Risks and benefits of various options;Patient's \"\"legal rights to comprehensive pain and symptom management at the end of life. \"\" Physicians and nurse practitioners are also required to offer patients with a terminal illness information regarding other appropriate treatment options, if the patient wishes to initiate or continue treatments other than, or in addition to, palliative care. The Palliative Care Information Act focuses on patients with a medical condition that is expected to cause death within six months. However, this information and counseling is also appropriate for patients with serious illnesses who do not have a terminal condition."

These questions do not represent an exhaustive summary of Program requirements and should be used for guidance on specific issues. For additional questions or clarification on those listed below, please direct questions to Care [email protected]. What is the definition of a Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiary? Are beneficiaries eligible for care transition services if they have Medicare Part A but do not have Medicare Part B coverage? A Medicare FFS beneficiary is defined in the legislation authorizing the Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP) as a beneficiary with Medicare Part A and B and not Part C. For this reason CMS will only be able to pay care transition services for those beneficiaries with both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B. In addition, given that most care transition interventions promote a timely physician follow up visit post hospital discharge, it is critical that outpatient coverage is available to CCTP beneficiaries and that CMS has access to the outpatient claims for tracking and evaluation purposes. It is acceptable to put together an application that includes some beneficiaries that have Medicare Part A only. In such cases CMS will account for the slightly inflated volume when reviewing applications. Is participation in the Community Based Care Transition Program (CCTP) limited to the acute care hospitals listed in the high readmission hospital file posted on the program webpage? No."

There are various levels and types of integration, such as hospitals merging with hospitals and physicians aligning with physicians and hospitals and physicians affiliating. Additional services such as home health care, long-term care facilities, pharmacies, and more can be added to result in a continuum of care. A fully integrated delivery system is one that unites a financing group with all providers. The system is built on a foundation of primary care, and all facets of it operate under capitation, so everyone involved shares risk. The strategy of integrated delivery systems is to coordinate the seamless delivery of high-quality healthcare services over the continuum of care. \"\" Four P's\"\" Principles in Marketing Applied to Healthcare Industry: Product Place Price Promotion An example of the goal of integrated delivery systems is illustrated in the following advertisement by Northwestern Health Care: \"\"Northwestern Health Care because performance is what counts.

Vail Village was built as a ski-in/ski-out village. Like the grand European villages of Zermat, Davos and Saas Fe, in Switzerland. The Sebastian offers ski-in/ski-out access right from our ski valet which is located in the Gondola building. Gondola #1 replaced the Vista Bahn lift at the base of Vail mountain. We provide shuttle service to both Lions Head and Golden peak which are not accessible from our ski-in/ski-out location on Vail Mountain.over a year ago Reviewed this property Tulsa_OKE... Tulsa, OK0Votes If your definition for ski in/out is step out of your digs and onto the slope then no. From the Sebastien you must walk across Vail Village to the base of the slope. Sebastien has a base camp there where they store your skis and boots, about one hundred feet from the new gondola."

"text": "Valet Parking Tippingby Claire Valenty on April 9, 2010in Tipping You know that when the valet retrieves your car for you at the end of your dinner or other event, you should slide them a few bucks as a tip. However, unbeknownst to most people, you should employ valet parking tipping every time someone parks or retrieves for you. This shows the valet that you appreciate their efforts and they, therefore, will show respect to your car. Valet Parking Tipping is usually around $2 for each time the valet parks or retrieves your car if there is no parking fee. Now, if there is a parking fee that does not mean that the valet should not get a tip. In fact, the higher the parking fee, the bigger the tip the valet should receive. For example, if parking costs $5, the tip to the valet can still be $2. However, if the parking charge is $10, the valet should be tipped $3; if the parking charge is $15, the valet should be tipped $4; and if the parking charge is $20, the valet should be tipped $5. But, if the valet is not greeting you with a pleasant smile and niceties, no matter what the weather conditions or their personal life, you can always drop that tip right back down to $2. Also, if you have a very expensive car, you are expected to tip more."

May 3, 2010, 10:39 PMSo....when you pull into the \"\"free\"\" valet car parking at the major hotels on The Strip, do you tip the valet before or after he returns the car to you? Or do you tip both valets? If you pull in, and hand the valet, say $5, does that look after the tip for the guy who gets you the car? Do the valets pool their tips, then split them at end of shift? Say... I pull in around 6:00pm, go to dinner, see a show, do some gambling, and leave the hotel sometime after midnight. By this time, it may well be a whole new group of valets on shift. I don't want them to think I'm a cheapskate if I tip the crew before them, and not them. Also...since the Platinum is supposed to be free valet....but I don't mind tipping for good service....should I single out one guy, tip him, say $50 for the six days where there, and then leave it at that? Or...is that low?"

"text": "\"Resort Fees at Hotels Resort fees are supplemental daily charges tacked onto room rates, but often not included in the quoted or advertised charge for the room. Instead, the fees are added to the rate per day and paid on check-out. They're ostensibly charged to cover access to some facilities (pool, fitness room, business center) and for the phone, Internet access, coffee maker, bottled water, newspaper, and hotel shuttle. These fees have created an enormous amount of ill-will toward hotels by consumers, who (rightly) believe that they're \"\"hidden\"\" charges. They can be surprising, and confusing, to guests who haven't run across them before, when they see charges up to $39 per day they weren't expecting on their bill. And to add insult to injury, resort fees are taxed at the going hotel-room rate of nearly 14%, so there's an additional charge on top of the resort fee. Note that the dollar amounts in the chart below don't include the tax. Consumer advocates have suggested that if hotels want or need to raise room rates, they should simply raise them. If they want to include wifi, bottled water, newspapers, and other non-essentials in a low rate, they can create and market packages that include them as optional add-ons.

The parking fees will coincide with the grand opening of the T-Mobile Arena located next to the Monte Carlo, according to a statement from MGM CEO James Murren. The new parking structure is designed to serve MGM Resorts' new entertainment venues, which include The Park, the Theater at the Monte Carlo and the T-Mobile Arena, set to debut in April. But the proposed plan was met with opposition by locals and tourists alike, who took to social media to express their discontent. \"\" If I have to pay for parking, I would go somewhere else,\"\" said Las Vegas resident Tommy Munoz. \"\""

"text": "From Coffee to Car Washes: How Much To Tip March 23, 2011 By Chelsea 11 Comments Tweet Please tell me you also are always a little confused at the coffee counter when it comes to tipping? Do you leave a full 20% or just your change… or skip it all together because you feel dropping your .30cents into the tip jar would be more insulting than nothing at all? And the worst part? You are too tired to think because, well, you haven’t had your coffee yet. Lately, I’ve found myself having such a mental dilemma that I end up tipping way too much (Did I really just accidentally put the cost of the java I ordered in the jar? What’s the protocol on reaching in and taking it back… kidding… kind of…) and just flat out needed some help. Breezy Mama turned to Diane Gottsman — author of Pearls of Polish, an etiquette guide for today’s busy woman — to get her advice on how much gratuity to leave from car washes to hair cuts and various situations in between, who you should NEVER tip and more. How much do you tip when ordering your coffee at a counter, like Starbucks? A tip is not a “requirement”, however, if he/she calls you by name and has your order ready when you walk in the door, it’s a great gesture to tip. You can throw in your change from the drink or $1.00 if you really want to be generous."

Identifying your occasional pest infestation Have you ever spied a bug dashing across your kitchen floor or scurrying under a baseboard and thought, “What in the world is that?” It’s clearly not a “common” pest like, say, a cockroach or spider. It’s something… different. If you’ve ever had this experience, the bug in question likely falls in a category we call “ occasional invaders .”As their name implies, occasional invaders are pests that, on occasion, may find their way into our homes, but are not as common as frequent household pests, such as ants, rodents or termites. Some occasional invaders pose more serious threats than others. To determine the risk to your family, you will need to identify the species. A trained pest professional will be able to properly identify a pest species and its threats, but you can also use this guide to do your best at determining what may be lurking within your home: Boxelder Bugs What to look for : Boxelder bugs are black with distinct reddish or orange markings on their dorsum and have an elongated, somewhat flattened shape. Where you’re likely to spot them: These bugs get their common name from the fact that they are often found on and around boxelder trees. These occasional invaders congregate on the south sides of buildings, where the sun hits, and may migrate indoors during the fall."

"text": "When and How to Fertilize Centipede Grass By: Julie Day“ When is the proper time to apply fertilizer to centipede grass? Should I use a weed and feed product? ” – Bill Centipede grass is a warm-season turf grass, which means its growing season begins in late spring and lasts through the summer, then it goes mostly dormant or brown for the winter. The beginning of the growing season is called “green up,” as the grasses once again send up bright green blades and the lawn starts actively growing. Although usually occurring in April, the exact timing of the spring green up depends on the temperatures in your particular microclimate. During the green up period, the new growth in your lawn is very tender and can be harmed by the broadleaf herbicides in weed and feed products. In addition, feeding too early can cause growth that may be damaged by late cold snaps. The ideal time to apply fertilizer, or weed and feed products, to centipede grass is a few weeks after green up, but before temperatures start topping 85° F. That’s usually around mid-May, but let your lawn be your guide. Here are a few tips to keep in mind: Centipede grass doesn’t respond well to high doses of fertilizer. Too much nitrogen will cause a flush of growth susceptible to disease, and phosphorus will deplete iron levels."

Even if you’re in the bathroom at 2 a.m. and one comes scuttling out to the drain, you should try to resist the urge. It’s challenging, because there are few crawlies as creepy as a squirmy, fast-moving centipede. Even those of us who are immune to the creep factor of spiders, ants, and roaches might get the shivers when confronted with all those segmented legs. The yuck factor gets even higher when you consider their favorite hangout spots. These guys like to hang out in cool damp place, and might even take up residence in your toilet if you aren’t careful. You have our blessing to remove these guys from the commode, but if you get the urge to stomp, resist. The reason why is simple: you should never squish a centipede because it might be the only thing standing between you and a bathroom literally crawling with other gross creatures. Wikimedia Commons Meet the house centipede. Unlike its larger, more wormlike cousins, the house centipede has a fairly short body, with a perimeter of about 30 scuttling legs."

The film tells the story of a Germansurgeon who kidnaps three tourists and joins them surgically, mouth to anus, forming a \"\"human centipede \"\", a conjoined triplet. It stars Dieter Laser as the creator of the centipede, Dr. Josef Heiter, with Ashley C. Williams, Ashlynn Yennie, and Akihiro Kitamura as his victims. According to Six, the concept of the film arose from a joke he made with friends about punishing a child molester by stitching his mouth to the anus of a \"\"fat truck driver\"\". Inspiration for the film also came from Nazi medical experiments carried out during World War II, such as the crimes of Josef Mengele at the Auschwitz concentration camp. When approaching investors prior to filming, Six did not mention the mouth-to-anus aspect of the plot, fearing it would put off potential backers. The financiers of The Human Centipede did not discover the full nature of the film until it was complete. The film received generally mixed reviews from mainstream film critics, but it won several accolades at international film festivals. The film was released in the United States on a limited theatrical release on 30 April 2010."

In spite of their name (centipede means “100 legs”), the number of legs they have varies by species from around 20 to over 300. Centipedes are nocturnal animals, and are rarely seen during the day.

"text": "If you’ve ever driven in California, you’d know that one of the state’s defining qualities is its carpool lanes. Carpool or high-occupancy vehicle lanes are lanes of traffic designated for vehicles with more than one commuter. According to California’s Department of Transportation, nearly half of all the traffic on state highways travels through HOV lanes. HOV lanes can be used by solo drivers of motorcycles and people with white or yellow clean-air stickers on their cars (shown above). That means stickered vehicles like the Honda Civic Hybrid and Toyota Prius can drive down the carpool lane without remorse. Well, with hybrids being as popular as they are in California — 85,000 people have an exemption sticker on their hybrids already — the state has decided to let the stickers lapse or expire at the end of this year. Hybrid cars with only one occupant in them would have to merge back into the mixed-flow lanes. We’re in favor of this move as the idea behind carpool lanes is to move more people, not more cars. We understand the concept behind the yellow clean-air stickers was to promote hybrids, which get double the mileage of many other vehicles on the road, but there are a number of 30-plus mpg cars on the road today that aren’t hybrids. Of course, buyers of the Tesla Roadster, Honda’s fuel cell FXC Clarity or Honda’s compressed gas Civic GX would still be permitted to drive in the HOV lane with one driver as those drivers are a part of a much more elite class of white clean-air-sticker holders."

New Plug-in Car Purchases Buyers of plug-in hybrids and electric cars benefit from a tax credit of $2,500 to $7,500, depending on the size of the battery in the car. On the low end of the spectrum, cars with 4 k Wh battery packs will qualify for a $2,500 tax credit. The credit maxes out at $7,500 for cars with a 16 k Wh battery pack, like the Chevy Volt. The credits were provided as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as the “stimulus bill.” The incentive begins phasing out after an automaker sells 200,000 vehicles that are eligible for the credit. Utilities: Rebates and Better Electricity Rates Many electric utilities around the country offer special rates, including time-of-use (TOU) rates, to reduce the cost of powering an electric car or plug-in hybrid. The reduced EV rate can significantly reduce the cost of charging your car."

"text": "\"Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) Decals - High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane Usage Note: Beginning January 1, 2019, Assembly Bill 544 creates a new decal program to allow certain low emission vehicles to access high-occupancy vehicle lanes, regardless of vehicle occupancy level, for a four-year term. Access to high-occupancy vehicle lanes for vehicles with green and white decals will expire January 1, 2019. Vehicles issued a green or white decal in 2017 or 2018 will be eligible to reapply for a decal in 2019 granting them access to high–occupancy toll lanes until January 1, 2022. A vehicle that meets specified emissions standards may be issued CAV decals that allow the vehicle to be operated by a single occupant in highway lanes designated for High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV). See California Vehicle Code (CVC) §§5205.5 and 21655.9. The fee for a clean air vehicle decal is $22. Effective January 1, 2018, the Department of Motor Vehicles cannot issue a CAV decal to an applicant who has received a consumer rebate through the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP), nor can an applicant participate in both the CAV Decal Program and the CVRP unless income restrictions are met. ( See Question #6 in the FAQs. ) For additional information, visit the California Air Resources Board's (ARB) website at www.arb.ca.gov.

"text": "\"Poll: Traffic in the United States By ANALYSIS BY GARY LANGERFeb. 13, 2005 --Email Freeways get clogged, minutes tick by and tempers sometimes flare, but there's another side to the daily commute for millions of Americans: Most of them actually like it. So it goes (and stops-and-goes) in the nation's love-hate relationship with the daily task of getting around. In a country where 220 million adults average an hour and a half a day in their cars, views of traffic in America vary as much as highway conditions themselves, from the joy of the open blacktop to the misery of another rubberneck-inspired backup. On balance, the road still offers more freedom than frustration. Three-quarters of Americans say driving often gives them a sense of independence, and nearly half say it's often relaxing. Four in 10 love their cars -- not just like them, but love them. But there's a darker side: About a third can be classified as aggressive drivers. Six in 10 concede they sometimes go well over the speed limit. Sixty-two percent occasionally get frustrated behind the wheel, more than four in 10 get angry and two in 10 sometimes boil into road rage."

A high-occupancy toll lane (or HOT lane) is a type of traffic lane or roadway that is available to high-occupancy vehicles and other exempt vehicles without charge; other vehicles are required to pay a variable fee that is adjusted in response to demand. Unlike toll roads, drivers have an option to use general purpose lanes, on which a fee is not charged.

"text": "Series: Brookings Policy Brief Series Report Traffic: Why It’s Getting Worse, What Government Can Do Anthony Downs Thursday, January 1, 2004Facebook Twitter Linked In Email Download Download Rising traffic congestion is an inescapable condition in large and growing metropolitan areas across the world, from Los Angeles to Tokyo, from Cairo to Sao Paolo. Peak-hour traffic congestion is an inherent result of the way modern societies operate. It stems from the widespread desires of people to pursue certain goals that inevitably overload existing roads and transit systems every day. But everyone hates traffic congestion, and it keeps getting worse, in spite of attempted remedies. Commuters are often frustrated by policymakers’ inability to do anything about the problem, which poses a significant public policy challenge. Although governments may never be able to eliminate road congestion, there are several ways cities and states can move to curb it. POLICY BRIEF #128The Real Problem Traffic congestion is not primarily a problem, but rather the solution to our basic mobility problem, which is that too many people want to move at the same times each day. Why? Because efficient operation of both the economy and school systems requires that people work, go to school, and even run errands during about the same hours so they can interact with each other. That basic requirement cannot be altered without crippling our economy and society."

Measuring Congestion Traffic Congestion refers to the incremental costs resulting from interference among road users. These impacts are most significant under urban-peak conditions when traffic volumes approach a road’s capacity. The resulting congestion reduces mobility and increases driver stress, vehicle costs and pollution ( Congestion Costs ). Traffic congestion is considered one of the main urban transportation problems (in this case, “urban” includes suburbs, and even small resort communities during tourist season or other major events), with an estimated cost of approximately $120 billion annually in the U. S., and comparable costs in other countries ( INRIX 2009; TTI 2013).

As we approached the entrance to the HOV lane we started our typical morning debate, were “they” ahead of us or behind us?“They” in this case is a Chevrolet Aveo stacked to the gills with 5 adults that consistently backs up the 65 mph HOV lane by chugging along at 45 mph, bouncing and swaying always on the edge of control. The decision is crucial, if we are behind the Aveo, then you can safely add 15 minutes to our commute and start out the day behind. If we are ahead, there is time get a quick cup of coffe and start the day out right. HOV lanes are necessity in the DFW area, if they are used as intended, they only one allowed to use them are motorcycles, and four wheeled vehicles with 2 or more passengers. This keeps the lanes relatively clear of jam-ups and makes the commute consistent. That “if” however is a big one. In the case of the Aveo it is forever burned into my brain as that slow moving overloaded car, simply wasting everybody's time. The tell tail trail of the red brake lights ahead told the story, we were simply too late “they” were ahead of us."

They are also known as carpool or diamond lanes. The HOV system consists of a network of special-use highway lanes which connect major population and employment centers. It forms a crucial part of the central Puget Sound area's highway system. HOV lanes are designed to maximize the movement of people rather than vehicles. They usually move more people than a general purpose lane, even when they don't look full. For example, you may only see one bus per minute, but buses can carry the equivalent of 45 or more cars. Studies show that HOV lanes encourage commuters to travel together. Many people who do not usually drive alone on the freeway during rush hours would switch to solo freeway driving if the HOV lanes were opened to all traffic – including many of the people who are currently riding the bus, carpooling, and vanpooling. Enough demand exists for peak period freeway space to quickly result in just another clogged lane if HOV lanes were opened to all traffic all the time."

So to answer these questions, I will explain the differences._________________________________________________________________________________There is a number of different Mammoths and Mastodon species that diverged from the Asian Elephant after the latter group split up from the African Elephant. They are all mammals, and belong to a species called Proboscideans. From the Mastodon, two Asian and African Elephants evolved. Probably the most popular species of the four would be the Woolly Mammoth, or mammuthus primigenius, this is because of their broad geographic distribution, adaption to cold environments, and relative advances during the last ice age."

But you must remember that the 14% guideline proceeds from the assumption of averages. It's relatively accurate, too – for both living males and females. A skeleton that has been bleaching in the desert sun for two years weighs less than it did when it was part of a living organism.

The 14% guideline can be used with a normal weight/height chart for humans and yield relatively accurate results, but it does not allow for dramatic weight variations or missing limbs, and so on."

RICHMOND, Va. – It’s probably not fair to call Dom Costanzo an adrenaline junkie, but he’s dabbled. From skydiving to snowboarding, the former VCU sprinter knows how to get his blood pumping. But speeding downhill at 80 miles per hour, on a sled slightly larger than a cafeteria tray? That’s new. But that’s what lies ahead for the 22-year-old Costanzo, who recently won an invitation to USA Bobsled and Skeleton’s “Skeleton School” in November. Skeleton is an Olympic sliding sport similar to luge, but with competitors lying chest-down and face-first on their way down an icy track. Costanzo, who graduated from VCU in 2013 with a degree in business management, earned his spot at Skeleton School through one of Team USA’s skeleton combines in Lake Placid, N. Y. Eleven of the combines, which are available to any person willing to try, were staged between May and September in seven North American cities. Participants are graded on their abilities to perform eight different physical challenges that reflect the blend of speed and strength necessary for skeleton, including 15-, 30- and 45-meter dashes, the broad jump, squat and weigh toss. Each event is worth up to 100 points, which means the highest possible combined score is 800."

"text": "Science Argentine Dinosaur Was an Estimated 130,000 Pounds, and Still Growing By KENNETH CHANG SEPT. 4, 2014Dreadnoughtus Jennifer Hall PHILADELPHIA — Eighty-five feet long, 30 feet tall, 130,000 pounds and still growing when it died, a newly described dinosaur is among the largest land animals that ever lived — so big its discoverers are calling it the Dreadnoughtus. Its skeleton, unearthed in the Patagonia region of Argentina, is the first of this species and the most complete ever found in the group of gargantuan dinosaurs known as titanosaurs, scientists reported on Thursday. An international team led by Kenneth J. Lacovara, a paleontologist at Drexel University in Philadelphia, describes the fossil in the journal Scientific Reports. “What we can say with certainty is this is the biggest land animal that we can actually put a number on,” Dr. Lacovara said. Even what remains of the bones is huge. “ We’ve got 16 tons of bone in my lab right now,” Dr. Lacovara said. The better-known Brachiosaurus weighed only 75,000 pounds; an empty Boeing 737-900 weighs about 93,700 pounds. A male African elephant, the largest land animal today, weighs a minuscule 15,000 pounds by comparison. ( Blue whales dwarf all land animals, past and present, growing to 300,000 pounds. )"

The creature�s expressionless eyes give no indication that it can think or feel. Its colored armor plating seems more suited to a machine than to an animal. There are too many legs jointed in too many places. The abdomen pulses, the antennae twitch, and tiny oral appendages shift food to the mouth. Lean a little closer and the thing leaps, almost into one�s face, to veer off on crackling wings. Such an experience may strengthen the conclusion that arthropods are so different from us that they are essentially alien life forms. But such an extreme first impression is not really justified. Arthropods are classified as animals, exactly as we are, and so they must have characteristics in common with us and with other members of the animal kingdom. Certainly they do."

This rodent could kill you if it sat on you. Actually, the figures cited are for Phoberomys pattersoni, which is only the second-largest rodent that ever lived. Its close cousin, Phoberomys insolita, was even a bit larger, but no complete skeleton of it has ever been found, making a precise estimate of its size and weight difficult. Phoberomys pattersoni lived in the Late Miocene, about 8 million years ago. It dwelled around the Orinoco river delta in modern-day Venezuela, feeding on grasses and shrubs. Its sheer size would have been a deterrent to predators, much like its herbivore contemporaries, the ground sloths. Like other rodents, Phoberomys pattersoni had large, continuously growing teeth that had to be kept short by gnawing."

Marine life is incredibly diverse and sometimes feels as old as time, and some of the oldest animals in existence live in the sea. The oceans are home to some of the largest and most powerful animals on Earth. They come from many different groups, too. Some are mammals, some are reptiles and some are fish. Some species have been seriously studied by scientists both in nature reserves and in their natural habitats, but other species remain elusive and even mysterious. The wonders of the sea have been immortalized in literature and Hollywood films, yet they are still rarely portrayed accurately. Films and novels often make these powerful creatures out to be enormous, bloodthirsty monsters when in reality, most of these species would probably rather that humans left them alone and respected their habitat. Here is a list of ten of the strongest animals in the our miraculous seas:10.

A partial humerus (arm bone) indicates that this species was smaller than the average Australopithecus afarensis. In 2005, the remains of 9 individuals were recovered from As Duma in northern Ethiopia. The remains mostly consist of teeth and jaw fragments, but also some bones from the hands and feet.

Over the years hyenas and humans have come into close contact in Africa and, in earlier times, in Asia and in Europe, often leading to mutual predation. In ancient Egypt hyenas were domesticated, fattened and eaten, and in turn humans have on occasion become food for hyenas. Reputed to be cowardly and timid, the hyena can be bold and dangerous, attacking animals and humans. Physical Characteristics Of the three species of hyena in Africa, only the spotted hyena and the shy and much rarer, striped hyena ( Hyaena hyaena) are found in East Africa. The smaller, and even shyer brown hyena ( Hyaena brunnea) occurs only in southern Africa. Different from most other animals, female spotted hyenas are dominant over the males and outweigh them by about 3 pounds. It is difficult to distinguish male and female hyenas by observation in the field. They are not hermaphrodites (having both male and female sexual organs), nor can they change their sex at will, as many people believe. Although the external female genitalia have a superficial similarity to those of the male, they are nonetheless female organs and only the females bear and nurse young."

Although not classified as hyenas, the family also has a fourth relative -- the aardwolf (Proteles cristata). Spotted Hyena Diet Spotted hyenas aren't picky eaters in any sense of the word. These omnivores are notorious scavengers that frequently feast on the carrion of previously killed animals, but that isn't the full extent on their diet. Spotted hyenas are adept hunters in their own right, preying on reptiles, birds and even wee bugs. They prefer going after mammals that exceed 40 pounds in weight, according to the Zoological Society of Milwaukee. Some of the larger animals that spotted hyenas prey on include wildebeests, zebras and antelope. They generally hunt in units of between two and five individuals, although sometimes more -- especially when it comes to big prey. Striped Hyena Diet Striped hyenas, like spotted hyenas, are frequent scavengers, with particular penchants for impalas, gazelles, wildebeests and zebras."

Though once abundant over much of Eurasia, North Africa and North America, the gray wolf inhabits a reduced portion of its former range due to widespread destruction of its territory, human encroachment, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked broad extirpation. Even so, the gray wolf is regarded as being of least concern for extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, when the entire gray wolf population is considered as a whole. Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to population control or extermination as threats to livestock, people, and pets. Gray wolves are social predators that live in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair, their offspring and, occasionally, adopted immature wolves. They primarily feed on ungulates, which they hunt by wearing them down in short chases. Gray wolves are typically apex predators throughout their range, with only humans and tigers posing significant threats to them. Genetic studies reaffirm that the gray wolf is the ancestor of the domestic dog. A number of other Canis lupus subspecies have been identified, though the actual number of subspecies is still open to discussion. In areas where human cultures and wolves both occur, wolves frequently feature in the folklore and mythology of those cultures, both positively and negatively."

They are not choosy as they will consume almost anything ranges from birds, lizards, insects, to snakes. Hyenas also feed on zebras and gazelles. Hyenas exist in large numbers which is why they often outrun their competitors while hunting; even lionesses are forced to leave their hunt when hyenas arrive in groups. Although rarely, hyenas also scavenge on leftovers of animals. They hunt in groups comprising 3 to 5 individuals but larger numbers are also expected if it comes to hunting large-sized mammals. Hyenas have a keen sense of smell. What Do Hyenas Eat in the Wild Spotted Hyenas The spotted hyena stands as an opportunistic hunter and it primarily finds easier ways to catch its prey. While these famed hunter-scavengers attack medium sized mammals, they usually prefer young mammals or calves that do not demand too much hard work. The wildebeest’s calves are one of the most popular diets of spotted hyenas."

As we all know that lions are considered to be the most powerful and fearless predators in the whole jungle kingdom; they generally prey in groups rather than the solitary hunt. What Do Lions Eat Despite the fact that they stalk their prey they do not have greater stamina in that they give up running after a short while. The lion’s heart makes just 0.57% of their body weight in comparison to the hyena’s heart of about 1%. Therefore, in order to succeed, lions must be close by the prey before the final chase. In general, these wild animals stalk their prey within the distance of about 30 metres (98 feet) or less. For the reason that lioness is more assertive by nature, she does most of the hunting by leading the whole group. These lionesses stalk most of their prey by encircling it in the form of groups. Lions predominantly kill medium-sized mammals including impalas, zebras, buffaloes, deer, nilgai, eland, wild boar, warthogs, kudu, gemsbok, hartebeest, springbok and Thomson’s gazelle."

The simplest type of hygrometer uses human hair, which causes strands to expand or contract to move a needle. The most common type of hygrometer, which is called a psychrometer, uses two thermometers: one with a wet bulb and one with a dry bulb. Temperatures drop as moisture evaporates from the wet bulb, and the relative humidity is determined by comparing the temperature differences between the two thermometers. Both hair and wet/dry hygrometers measure relative humidity reasonably accurately in a closed-room environment.like tweet plus mail"

The amount of moisture in the air makes a huge difference in how comfortable people are and when storing certain valuable possessions. In this lesson, we will explore the definition and uses of a tool called a hygrometer. Definition of a Hygrometer Imagine traveling to Paris to see what is arguably the world's most famous painting: the Mona Lisa. You spend thousands of dollars on your flight and hotel, stand in line to get into the Louvre, and then enter the room containing the Mona Lisa, only to find that it has been removed due to damage done by high humidity!Paintings and other artwork are highly reactive to moisture in the air and can become severely damaged if it is too high. Thankfully, this hasn't happened in the history of the painting, and this can be credited to one device: the hygrometer. A hygrometer is a tool used to measure the moisture content of the air."

With these numbers we can compare our environment against a standard and then seek improvement in environmental characteristics. We also can evaluate environmental changes over time. For example, a simple thermometer will tell us that air temperature in a dairy barn is 78°F, yet we know that dairy cows are most comfortable at 60°F or colder (assuming reasonable humidity level). Our goal would be to lower the temperature or compensate for the heat stress in other ways.

The shelf life of a drug is a function of the temperature and humidity conditions under which it is stored and transported as well as the chemical and physical properties of the drug substance and preparation. For this reason, the ability to monitor those conditions is important in the shipping and storage of temperature- and humidity sensitive preparations. Historic geographic and seasonal trends may be used as a planning tool in selecting among the types of temperature and humidity monitoring devices. Meteorological forecasts are available for any pertinent location.

Humidity refers to the amount of moisture in the air. When air has absorbed all the moisture that it can, we say that humidity is at 100%. When the humidity level is at say half of that, it is defined as being at 50%. In other words, measures of humidity are relative, which is why we speak of RH, or relative humidity. The Effect of Seasons Everything expands as it gets warmer, and that applies to the air itself. As a consequence, it absorbs more moisture when the ambient temperature’s warmer.

Shapira If you enjoy smoking cigars, but you haven’t yet began to start your collection; purchasing a humidor should really be your first step – even before buying cigars. As we’ve discussed before, a humidor is the vault you lock and store your cigars in. It’s made with a specific purpose in mind and that’s to allow you to safely store and age your cigar collection in a pristine environment that is made to exacting standards ensuring your cigars remain fresh and healthy for years to come by generating a precise level of humidity so they don’t dry out. In most cases, a humidor is a term used to describe a room or a box that is capable of maintaining a very specific temperature and humidity level. While it’s most commonly used to store cigars, it can really be used to store a variety of tobacco products including cigarettes and pipe tobacco. In fact, humidors throughout history have been used to store many different products that require a certain level of humidity. One famous example is the Colorado Rockies baseball team which stores its baseballs in a humidor to counteract the the high altitude in the area. Regardless of what the humidor is being used for, or whether it’s a small box or a large room, all humidors are made the same and rely on a few tools to keep them regulated. Types of Humidors There are three main types of humidors. One is wood and the others are acrylic glass and metal."

"text": "Types of Hygrometers for Multiple Uses Some experts argue that every conceivable product is either directly affected by humidity or works differently at certain relative humidity levels, so using hygrometers to measure ambient air moisture could be critical for protecting homes, businesses and products. Humidity affects performance of materials in the environment, industrial processes and physical well-being, but for hygrometers to measure humidity effectively, they must contact the environment that affects each type of process. Contamination, degradation and calibration issues arise, so effective measurement requires many types of hygrometers and calibration processes to get reliable results. In complicated industrial processes, small changes in humidity levels can generate significant variances. Sensors must control or contain variables such as pressure, temperature and the environment or materials being measured to get accurate readings. Humidity plays a role in every manufacturing process, so monitoring moisture and sometimes correcting humidity becomes critical. One of the simplest examples of the effects of humidity becomes evident when baking bread and cakes where moisture affects how these foods rise. Types of hygrometers perform an astonishing range of work in homes, offices, manufacturing plants, hospital environments, research labs, drying processes, food production facilities, incubators, greenhouses, museums and textile and paper industries. Hair-tension hygrometers Displacement sensors use hair, cellulose or nylon to measure expansion and contraction due to humidity. Inexpensive and relatively immune to contamination, these hygrometers have fibers that connect with dials and cause displacements of needles or gauges as they expand or contract."

There are two main types of hygrometers – a dry and wet bulb psychrometer and a mechanical hygrometer. What is Humidity? Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere caused by condensation and evaporation. It can be measured as absolute humidity (the amount of water vapor in a unit volume of air), or as relative humidity (the ratio of moisture in the atmosphere to the maximum moisture the atmosphere can hold). It is what gives you that horrible sticky feeling on a hot day and can cause heat stroke. We feel most comfortable with relative humidity between 30% and 60%. How do Hygrometers Work? Wet and dry bulb psychrometers are the most simple and common way of measuring humidity."

"text": "Reader Approved How to Test a Hygrometer If you're a cigar aficionado, you need a hygrometer to make sure you're storing your wares at the correct humidity. A hygrometer is an instrument that is used to measure humidity in cigar humidors as well as greenhouses, incubators, museums, and more. To ensure that your hygrometer is functioning properly, it is best to test it prior to use, then calibrate it if necessary. The salt method is a tried and true way of testing a hygrometer for accuracy. Here's how to do it. Steps1 Gather supplies. To test your hygrometer using salt, you just need a few household supplies: A small food storage bag that zips A tiny cup or bottle cap from a 20-ounce soda Some table salt Water2 Fill the cap with salt and add enough water to make a thick slurry. Don't add so much water that the salt dissolves; you just want it to be wet. If you add too much, use paper towels to mop up the excess. [ 1]3 Put the cap and the hygrometer inside the baggie."

"text": "\"Science Weather & Tides Q: What Units Does a Hygrometer Measure In? A: Quick Answer Hygrometers measure the amount of moisture or humidity in the air, but there are a number of different types of hygrometers, and they display their results in different ways. Most hygrometers display their readings in the amount of water in a given volume of air, making the units milliliters per cubic centimeter. Alternatively, some hygrometers measure relative humidity, which is expressed as a percentage with no units. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Do You Use to Measure Humidity? What Does a Hygrometer Do? What Is a Psychrometer Used For? Credit: Total Guitar Magazine / Contributor Future Getty Images Full Answer Dew point temperature is a measure of humidity, but it is reported in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. For example, if the temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity is very high, the dew point may be 79 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that if the air cools just one degree, it is not able to hold the water it is already holding and water condenses from the air."

The most crucial characteristic of a fine humidor is that it can provide a constant environment of about 68' to 70' F and 70-72% humidity. It doesn't really need to be fancy, but it does need to be functional. What is a humidor? A humidor is, quite simply, a storage container designed to allow controlled air flow and equipped with a device that maintains the internal humidity in the range of 70 to 75 percent; its internal temperature should be maintained in a narrow range of about 68 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. ( Without something to maintain the internal humidity, it's not a humidor; it's just a box.) Humidors come in all sizes. Travel-sized humidors hold just a few cigars; room-sized humidors hold thousands of boxes of cigars. Note that a humidor is not a sealed environment."

Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantity such as temperature, pressure, mass or a mechanical or electrical change in a substance as moisture is absorbed. By calibration and calculation, these measured quantities can lead to a measurement of humidity. Modern electronic devices use temperature of condensation (the dew point), or changes in electrical capacitance or resistance to measure humidity differences. The first practical hygrometer was invented by polymath Johann Heinrich Lambert in 1755.

I tried the dry incubation this last time, and had a better incubation period, only to lose most of the batch right at pip time. My mother has 3 different hygrometers, and all 3 of her's were reading something different. She ended up talking to a lady at eggcartons.com, and the lady sent her simple instructions for testing your hygrometer. My mother tested her's, and only one was accurate. I tested mine to find it was incorrect by -20%!!!! No wonder my hatches have been so weird. I do need to note that all of our hygrometers were purchased this summer, so they aren't old.

"text": "Homeowners want to know where to start. We spend a lot of time talking about the dangers of moisture in your crawl space, but what should be your next step? The answers to these top three questions that homeowners ask give practical recommendations to maintaining your crawl space and avoiding moisture damage and mold. “What’s the threshold humidity level for mold growth?”When the relative humidity of your crawl space is 70% or higher, mold can thrive. “ Relative” humidity is the humidity level expressed in a percentage of the amount of moisture in the air needed for “saturation” (i.e. the highest level of humidity - 100%). The amount of water the air can hold (humidity level) is dependent upon the temperature of the air itself. Colder temperatures are able to hold less moisture. Homeowners should be wary of the condition of their crawl space when the humidity level begins to creep up past 70% relative humidity. “I’m seeing condensation. What does that mean?”Condensation is an indication that the air within your crawl space has reached 100%."

Humidity levels that are not between the averages of 30- 50 percent can be potentially dangerous for your health. You can personally check your humidity level in your home by using a hygrometer. A hygrometer is an appliance that is designed to calculate the amount of humidity in a room or building. While a hygrometer can't actually prevent mold from growing, it can warn you to take any steps necessary before the problem occurs. Hygrometers can provide the accurate levels of relative humidity and absolute humidity. Relative humidity is the percentage of humid moisture in the air. Absolute humidity is the actual amount of moisture in the atmosphere."

"title": "http://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/iban.asp\nDEFINITION of 'International Bank Account Number - IBAN'",
"text": "DEFINITION of 'International Bank Account Number - IBAN'An international bank account number (IBAN) is a standard numbering system, developed to identify bank accounts from around the world. Banks in Europe originally developed the system to simplify transactions involving bank accounts from other countries. An IBAN won’t replace an account number; rather, this is an additional number, with further information, which helps in identification for overseas payments. One can find his or her IBAN on a personalized account statement. Next Up ISO Currency Code Exception Item Bank Wire International Accounting Standards ... BREAKING DOWN 'International Bank Account Number - IBAN'The IBAN number consists of a two-letter country code, followed by two check digits, and up to thirty alphanumeric characters. These alphanumeric characters are known as the basic bank account number (BBAN). It is up to the banking association of each country to determine which BBAN they will select as the standard for that country's bank accounts. Currently, only European banks use the IBAN although the practice is becoming popular in other countries. In the register of countries, currently using the IBAN system, several examples are as follows: Albania: AL35202111090000000001234567Cyprus: CY21002001950000357001234567Kuwait: KW81CBKU0000000000001234560101Luxembourg: LU120010001234567891Norway: NO8330001234567The History of the IBANThe IBAN developed out of diverging national standards for bank account identification. Varying uses of alphanumeric forms to represent specific banks, branches, routing codes, and account numbers often led to misinterpretations and/or omissions of critical information from payments."

"text": "The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is an international standard for numbering bank accounts adopted by the European Committee for Banking Standards. The IBAN, developed to help improve the payments system within the European Union, uniquely identifies a customer's bank account through a structure that is unique to each account holder. The account holder's financial institution assigns the unique IBAN. Use of an IBAN within international wire transfer instructions will improve the efficiency and speed of cross-border euro payments by allowing straight-through processing which leads to a reduction in payment errors, processing delays and processing fees. Starting in January 2007, IBANs and Bank Identifier Codes (BIC) will become mandatory for international wire transfers to European countries. Only the bank servicing an account can provide the correct IBAN of that account and the related BIC. Firstmark Credit Union members wishing to make wire transfers to Europe need to contact the (recipient) account owner who will obtain the IBAN from their European financial institution. International wires that are processed without a proper IBAN and BIC could be refused, delayed or assessed significant processing fees by the beneficiary's financial institution. It is recommended that IBANs be used for payments to the following countries: Andorra France Lithuania San Marino Austria Germany Luxembourg Serbia and Montenegro Belgium Gibraltar Macedonia Slovak Republic Bosnia and Herzegovina Greece Malta Slovenia Croatia Hungary Monaco Spain Cyprus Iceland Netherlands Sweden Czech Republic Ireland Norway Switzerland Denmark (including Faroe Islands and Greenland) Italy Poland Tunisia Estonia Latvia Portugal Turkey Finland Liechtenstein Romania United Kingdom What does an IBAN include?

IBAN stands for International Bank Account Number and is a number attached to all accounts in the European Union (EU) countries plus Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland. The IBAN is made up of a code that identifies the country the account belongs to, the account holder's bank and the account number itself. The IBAN makes it easier and faster to process cross-border payments. Your IBAN number: If you are invoicing internationally you need to supply your own IBAN number. The bank assigns an IBAN to each of your accounts. You cannot calculate an IBAN yourself automatically, as each bank might have different methods of registering their account numbers in the IBAN. The IBAN appears on your account statements and on your Business e Banking. Check if an IBAN is valid You can check whether an IBAN is valid below.

At Currency Fair we’ve been getting a few questions about the SEPA changes that will be coming through soon so we thought we’d give you a quick outline of the changes and what they mean for people sending money to and from the Euro zone. We’re going to explain SEPA, tell you about a handy SEPA calculator, and show you a quick video if you need more information. Let’s start with the obvious question . . . What Is SEPA? SEPA stands for Single Euro Payments Area and, whilst it has been phasing in over time, the deadline was 1 February 2014. The idea of SEPA is to make it easier to transfer money and electronic payments between the countries within the SEPA area. This means a smoother, borderless payments zone. In other words, it should be just as easy to send money from London to Rotterdam as it is to send money from London to Birmingham."

Credit: Panthera Jaguars are large cats that can be found in North, Central and South America. They are identified by their yellow or orange coats, dark spots and short legs. The dark spots on their coats are unlike any other cat spots. Each spot looks like a rose and are called rosettes. Size Jaguars are the biggest cats in the Americas and the third largest cats in the world, according to Defenders of Wildlife. From head to flank, these cats range in length from 4 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters). The tail can add another 2 feet (60 centimeters) in length, though their tails are quite short when compared to other large cats. Lions' tails, by comparison, can grow up to 3.5 feet (105 cm).

"text": "\"Black leopards, also called black panthers, get their mono-coloration from a recessive gene mutation. The rosette-shaped spots that typify leopards are actually present on melanistic animals, those with abundant black pigmentation, but are hidden by the surplus of pigment. Melanism can be an evolutionarily favorable mutation for animals living in the low light of dense forests and hunting at night, which could explain why black leopards are common in Asiatic forests despite the recessive nature of the mutation. Geographic Range Black leopards occur predominantly in southwestern China, Bhutan, India and Myanmar, and throughout the Malay peninsula including the island of Java. In these areas, melanistic leopards are more common than those with the lighter-colored pelts of animals with dominant genes. In the Malay peninsula, nearly all leopards reported are melanistic. The melanistic mutation is less common in Africa, but individuals have been reported in Ethiopia, Kenya and the equatorial forests of Cameroon. Natural selection may play a role in the predominance of black leopards in Asia, where the melanistic coloration is more of an asset than in the African savanna. Habitat Leopards are found in nearly all types of habitat, including savannas, forests, scrublands and desert. Black leopards in particular are most common in the dense tropical forests of south and southeast Asia, where their coloration enhances their ability to blend with the thick vegetation in the low light of the forests."

The black coat is simply a color variation. Jaguar is a Native American word meaning, “he who kills with one blow.” The jaguar actually originated in North America, though now it only lives in Central and parts of South America. The jaguar moved south when Central America formed into a land bridge. Jaguars prefer habitats like jungles and swamps, but also like semi-arid mountainous regions, so long as the area is forested. The jaguar is also one of the few cats to like water, and often can be seen playing in it. As for the mythology and legends, the jaguar was seen as a god in Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala, in pre-Columbian America. The Mayans, Aztecs, and Inca all worshiped the jaguar in some form.

It originated from the language of the Tupi - Native American - people of Brazil and Paraguay; the Tupi word was jaguara, which is believed to have referred to any large predatory animal. The name of the British car, Jaguar, was adopted following the Second World War; the company making the car was the Swallow Sidecar Company, which used the initials 'SS' as a brand. The Nazi SS, or Schutzstaffel, was Hitler's paramilitary force, understandably unpopular with the British, so the company had to find a new brand name for their cars. The name, of course, comes from the animal, jaguar, chosen because of the creature's famous beauty, sleekness and speed.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Credit: Panthera Jaguars are large cats that can be found in North, Central and South America. They are identified by their yellow or orange coats, dark spots and short legs. The dark spots on their coats are unlike any other cat spots. Each spot looks like a rose and are called rosettes. Size Jaguars are the biggest cats in the Americas and the third largest cats in the world, according to Defenders of Wildlife. From head to flank, these cats range in length from 4 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters). The tail can add another 2 feet (60 centimeters) in length, though their tails are quite short when compared to other large cats. Lions' tails, by comparison, can grow up to 3.5 feet (105 cm). Males are heavier than females."

"text": "Animal Camouflage Facts The camouflage of the most amazing animals you’ve never seen!Almost every animal has a good reason to hide. Going undetected makes it easier to catch food – and easier to avoid becoming someone else’s. In any species, the individuals that stand out the most will be the first to be eaten and the last to catch their own dinner, and so natural selection picks the ones with the best camouflage. There are several different kinds of camouflage. The most basic is to hide under a rock, or in sand or leaves. This is sometimes called ‘crypsis’, and some animals will incorporate bits of their environment on their bodies to improve the effect. Three-toed sloths have algae growing in their fur, which gives them a dark green hue that helps them hide among the trees. Coral crabs deliberately attach young polyps to their shells so they resemble part of the reef. The next step is to change your own body colouration. Mammals have a colour palette restricted to white, black, brown and yellow, but fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds can all produce a vivid array of greens and bright red."

"text": "\"Jaguars are elusive and solitary animals. As a threatened species, their reduced numbers impedes scientists’ abilities to observe them. According to Big Cats Rescue, they are active 50 to 60 percent of the day. Because their natural habitat is in dense jungles, observing their daily behavior has been difficult for scientists to do. Jaguars are fairly easy to observe in captivity, as most zoos have them on display, but their daily habits vary significantly from captivity to the wild. Relaxing Jaguars spend a large portion of their daily lives napping while draped across a branch of a tree hidden in the tropical forest. They seek the shade of the trees to protect them from the heat and to offer a secure place to nap during the daytime. If at all possible, a jaguar will select an area that is near a slow-moving river or some other water source like a lake or wetlands. Unlike most cats, jaguars are excellent swimmers and enjoy the water. Hunting Daily life in the trees gives the jaguar a distinct advantage when it is hunting."

A: Quick Answer Leopards protect themselves from other predators by hunting during different times of day than other predators, frequenting other areas, going after different prey and hiding in trees. Female leopards protect their cubs by moving them to safe locations frequently until they are old enough to fend for themselves. Continue Reading Keep Learning What eats the Amur leopard? How does a black panther protect itself? What eats snow leopards? Full Answer Leopards often share habitats with other predators, such as lions, tigers, hyenas, bears and wild dogs. When larger predators are prevalent, leopards tend to go after smaller prey and change hunting habits to avoid them. They not only hide in trees but also flee into trees to avoid predation, drag the carcasses of their kills into trees to protect them from scavengers and stash their young in trees to keep them safe. To catch prey or avoid predators, they can run up to 36 mph, bound 20 feet forward or leap 10 feet straight up into the air."

Two crocodilians (the occasionally large and saline tolerant American Crocodile and the small Spectacled Caiman) persist within all of the park's major waterways, as do Bull sharks. The Jaguar population within the park is the healthiest in all of Central America, however it is still extremely unlikely for a visitor to spot one (most locals have never seen them either.) Many other elusive cats call the park home as well, including the Puma (which is slightly smaller and more arboreal in Central American than in the United States, probably due to competition with the Jaguar,) Ocelot, Jaguarundi and Margay. The park is one of the last strongholds of the Baird's Tapir and there are hundreds within decent proximity from Sirena Station, usually found lounging in the shade or in shallow pools of stagnant water."

Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 291KPassionate about all things Australian A kangaroo's tail helps it to bound and spring up from the ground. It has been noted that, if a kangaroo's tail is lifted off the ground, it cannot jump properly. The tail is also used for balance. Recent research has also indicated that the tail is more important than the forelimbs when a kangaroo walks. A kangaroo cannot move its hind legs independently (except when swimming), so when a kangaroo moves slowly, it has always been thought to drag itself forward by its forelegs. This is not the case, however. Research has shown that the tail is vital for propelling the kangaroo forward. Scientists have discovered that there is much more propulsion energy provided by the tail than was previously thought.24 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "Kangaroo Travel Prev NEXTCheck out that big fourth toe that helps propel the kangaroo's jump. Thorsten Milse/ Getty Images Take a close look at a kangaroo's hind foot and you'll notice that its toes aren't symmetrical like ours. Instead, kangaroos have an enlarged fourth toe on each foot. Starting from the inside of the foot, a kangaroo's first toe is tiny and may not even be present [source: Myers ]. The second and third toes are small and appear fused together, though there are separate nails. Things get exciting when we reach the fourth toe since it's at the center of the hopping action. A kangaroo's leg bone aligns with this oversized digit, allowing it to propel the foot off the ground. According to fossils, this adaptation of the enlarged fourth toe preceded the kangaroo's hop [source: Flannery ]. The fifth toe provides additional support and thrust for the hop as well. Traveling up the foot to the hind leg, we hit the powerhouse of the kangaroo's hop."

Other species of kangaroos are smaller, and they include: Wallabies, including different species of rock-wallaby, brush wallaby and swamp wallaby Quokkas, once thought to be a type of wallaby, but now regarded as another separate group Musky-rat kangaroo (the smallest of all kangaroos)Tree kangaroos, which live in trees, although they can easily jump to the ground from 6m up and escape along the ground if threatened. There are numerous species of tree-kangaroos."

"text": "Diffen › Science › Biology › Zoology › Animals Both the kangaroo and the wallaby belong to the macropod family, which contains large-footed animals. They have oversized feet that they use for jumping — their only form of locomotion. Both these animals also belong to marsupial infraclass, meaning they have a front-opening pouch to carry their babies. However, some animals in the marsupial family, like the wombat, have backward-opening pouches. Since both animals belong to the same family and live in similar habitats (mainly Australia, with some species found in New Guinea), they resemble each other but also have distinct differences.

Life Cycle: Both these animals have a very short period of pregnancy, and the baby that’s born is very weak and fragile. They stay in their mother’s pouch and suckle for almost nine months before they can actually venture out. The constitution of the milk changes from time to time, to offer appropriate nutrition to the baby. As soon as the baby, commonly called the joey, is big enough to leave the pouch and only returns for feeds; the mother gives birth again."

In common use the term is used to describe the largest species from this family, the Red Kangaroo, the Antilopine Kangaroo, and the Eastern and Western Grey Kangaroo of the Macropus genus. The family also includes many smaller species which include the wallabies, tree-kangaroos, wallaroos, pademelons and the Quokka, some 63 living species in all. Kangaroos are endemic to the continent of Australia, while the smaller macropods are found in Australia and New Guinea. In general, larger kangaroos have adapted much better to changes wrought to the Australian landscape by humans, as many of their smaller cousins are endangered. However there is considerable controversy over farming of kangaroos for meat. The kangaroo is an Australian icon: it is featured on the Australian Coat of Arms, on some currency , and is used by many Australian organizations, including Qantas. Red Kangaroo ( Macropus rufus)Terminology The word kangaroo derives from the Guugu Yimidhirr word gangurru , referring to a grey kangaroo. The name was first recorded as \"\"Kangooroo or Kanguru\"\" on 4 August 1770, by Lieutenant (later Captain) James Cook on the banks of the Endeavour River at the site of modern Cooktown, when HM Bark Endeavour was beached for almost seven weeks to repair damage sustained on the Great Barrier Reef.

The kangaroo inhabits all throughout mainland Australia except that it is not found in the fertile regions across northern rainforests and east coast of the country. It occurs in much of central Australia, areas that receive less than 500 mm average rainfall each year. Red Kangaroo Facts For Kids Identification and Size Most red kangaroos display pale red to brick red color but all species are not really red. Some of the male kangaroos are blue-gray. Females are mostly blue-grey which is why they are called blue-fliers. In some areas both male and female are reddish as they live up to their name. As against other species, the adult red kangaroos have white undersides and their muzzle is circled by black and white patched that runs from the corner of the mouth to the base of ear."

Until they reach about eight months of age, threatened young kangaroos, called joeys, will quickly dive for the safety of mom's pouch. As they grow, joeys' heads and feet can often be seen hanging out of the pouch. Strength and Speed Red kangaroos hop along on their powerful hind legs and do so at great speed. A red kangaroo can reach speeds of over 35 miles an hour. Their bounding gait allows them to cover 25 feet in a single leap and to jump 6 feet high."

Musi All across the nation, in Americans’ backyards and garages and living rooms, in their beds and basements and bathrooms, wild animals kept as pets live side by side with their human owners. It’s believed that more exotic animals live in American homes than are cared for in American zoos. The exotic-pet business is a lucrative industry, one that’s drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike. These people say it’s not only dangerous to bring captive-bred wildlife into the suburbs, but it’s cruel and it ought to be criminal too. Yet the issue is far from black or white. At least not to Leslie-Ann Rush, a horse trainer who lives on a seven-acre farm outside Orlando, Florida, a place where the wind makes a rustling sound when it whips through the palms. Rush, 57, who has a kind face and hair the color of corn, breeds and trains gypsy horses she houses in a barn behind her small petting zoo, a wire enclosure where three male kangaroos, four lemurs, a muntjac deer (originally from Asia), a potbellied pig, a raccoon-like kinkajou called Kiwi, and a dog named Dozer all live—the lemurs leaping freely, the kangaroos sleeping on their sides, the petite pig rooting in the ground, the Asian deer balancing its rack of antlers on its delicate head. Rush weaves in and around her exotic pets with ease and cheerfulness and Cheerios, doling them out to the lemurs. They thrust their humanlike hands into the open boxes and draw out fistfuls of O’s, which they eat almost politely, one by one, dining daintily while the drool gathers in the corners of their mouths.

IME seats for straight keys in tapered shafts or bores are parallel to the axis, not the surface. The reason would be that you choose a tapered fit to assure zero clearance, adjustable interference fit, precise alignment, or some combination of these."

"text": "Golf Cart Clutch Removal: A Simple Process Posted on June 4, 2013 by Michael Williams Golf cart clutch removal is confusing to many people without prior experience. Despite automobiles also have clutches, there is very little similarity in the operation of those compared with a CVT (continuous variable transmission) in a golf cart. Although the clutch on an automobile and those on golf carts are responsible for transferring power from the engine to the transmission which is about their only similarity. Golf cart clutch removal must begin with identifying your golf cart by finding your serial number or VIN # . Once found, call us or a local dealer to look up the year and model. You may need this information later to locate the proper clutch puller for your vehicle. On a golf cart, the CVT is comprised of three parts; the drive clutch or primary clutch on the engine, the driven or secondary clutch on the differential, and the belt which connects the two. As the rpms of the engine increase, the drive clutch spins with it and with the use of flyweights and centrifugal force, the clutch pulls inward on the belt. Due to the sloped faces of the clutch, this causes the belt to ride higher on the clutch faces thus tightening the belt tension. The reaction is that the belt is pulled down between the clutch faces of the driven clutch."

Other pages detail Fittings and connections made via access chambers, branch junctions and saddles. There are 4 ways to connect new drainage to an existing system:-- via a new branch junction or access chamber to an existing pipeline- via a saddle onto an existing sewer- via an existing manhole or existing inspection chamber- via a new inspection chamber or new manhole On this page, methods 3 and 4 are the main focus; methods 1 and 2 are looked at on the Connections page. Types of Chambers Access chambers (as discussed on the Connections page) are intended to provide simple access for cursory inspection and access for drain rods or other maintenance equipment. They are not intended to provide access for a maintenance operative and are generally not more than 600mm deep. Access Chamber - 225-300mm dia Inspection chambers (often abbreviated to IC) are larger than access chambers, typically a minimum 450mm diameter. Again, they provide access for maintenance equipment, but tend to have more branches/spurs feeding into them and are often up to 1000mm deep. ICs can be circular, usually 450 or 600mm diameter... ....or they can be rectangular, usually with a concrete cover Manholes tend to have iron covers 600x600mm Manholes (MH) are the largest chambers providing access to a sewer or drain for maintenance equipment, and, in some cases, for operatives to enter the system itself. The minimum internal dimensions of a manhole are 600x900mm and they can be of any depth, although most modern manholes tend to be at least 1 metre deep with inspection chambers used for shallower depths."

"text": "\"How to Build a Jet Engine!by fozzy13 in metalworking Download 14 Steps Share Favorite I Made it!Collection I have wanted to build a functioning, jet turbine engine for quite a long time. To me, there's something awesome about the way in which so many different aspects of a jet engine come together to make a functioning unit, that is able to propel massive objects into the sky. I actually tried to make a jet engine out of tin cans years ago! It was one of my first instructables: https://www.instructables.com/id/The-Recycled-Jet-Engine/. Perhaps one of the biggest lessons from that project, was that jet engines shouldn't be made out of tin cans. This past summer, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to be accepted as an Artist in Residence at Instructables. With all of the new resources I knew I'd have available, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try to do a massive project, something that I knew I wouldn't be able to do at home. I knew I had to try to make a functioning jet engine, like I've always wanted to, but knew I didn't have the resources to do so. I poured all of my efforts into the project, and learned so much by doing it. With that said, I'd suggest you grab a beverage if you intend to read all the way through. The actual complexity of this project didn't hit me until I was discussing it at my final Artist in Residence presentation."

"text": "Machine Keys and Keystock Information Show all Machine Keys and Keystock Manufacturers Machine keys and key stock are demountable machine elements that are used to transmit torque from a shaft to the component. The use of a machine key and key stock prevents movement between the shaft and the component and allows force to be released without causing stress or wear on the machine. Machine keys are usually made of steel or stainless steel and plated with zinc for wear and oxidation resistance. Keyseating Process Keyseating is a machining process in which a machine key's mating internal shapes and forms are cut using a reciprocating, single-point cutting tool—similar to the shaping process. The keyseating cutter is clamped into a holder. Together with a feed bar, it is able to move vertically within a tool guide. Keyseating machines, also called keyseaters, are used primarily to cut internal keyways and other straight-sided shapes and forms in non-production parts. Other machines used to create keyways include broaching machines, shapers, slotting machines, and milling machines. Broaching is primarily used to cut square-cornered internal keyways. Milling machines can create parallel, tapered, and woodruff keyways."

I'm familiar with the location of these bearings and their function, as well as some of the causes and effects of a spun bearing. I just...don't know what it actually is.1 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are two types of bearings, sleeve and ball (or roller). In each case, a spun bearing means the same thing, the bearing sleeve or ball race has attached itself to the shaft and the outer portion of the bearing is spinning in the bearing support structure. A journal sleeve bearing is a steel backing with babbit on the inner surface, keyed to the journal housing with a notch at the end of each half. Oil in the space between the babbit and the shaft provides the lubrication. If the bearing loses oil, it overheats, the babbit melts. The bearing will eventually cool enough for the babbit to solidify and stick to the shaft, and then the backing starts to spin in the journal support, a spun bearing. In the case of ball or tapered roller bearings, there is a \"\"race\"\" which keeps the balls or rollers in place."

[ Return to the main For Sale page]Introduction On leaf-sprung vehicles, shims (or wedges) are often used to modify the angle between the spring perch on the axle and the leaf spring itself. The correction may be needed because of longer spring shackles tilting the pinion out of alignment, or to change from a single-cardan to a double-cardan drive shaft (for increased drive line angle capability), or to correct steering geometry (so your trucks handles better). An alternative to shims is to cut off the spring perches and re-weld new ones on at the corrected angle, but this is a lot of work and requires careful measurement to get things lined up properly. Anyway, for whatever reason you need a shim, you do need one. And if you need one you probably need an exact angled one, not just the angle or two the shop has. When I needed shims, I found one shop that had 3° and 6°, and another that had 4° and 8°."

"text": "Motion System Designbrought to you by Technologies Keyless devices get a grip on shafts For reliable shaft connections, keyless locking devices may be the answer. These devices securely connect drive component hubs to shafts in demanding applications that require high torque or precise motion. Kevin Powers, U. S. Tsubaki Inc. | Oct 01, 2000Avariety of locking devices is available to mount drive components to shafts. This article describes keyless locking devices, often called keyless bushings, that use friction to lock onto a shaft and to the hub of a drive component such as a sprocket, pulley, gear, timing cam, or roller. Other devices lock to a shaft by means of a key and keyway, as described in PTD, “ Making the right shaft connections ,” 8/96. Many keyless devices work by means of mating tapered rings. Bolts draw these tapered rings together, exerting radial pressure that forces the rings outward against the hub and inward against the shaft. Friction between the tapered surfaces locks the drive component to the shaft, eliminating the need for keys and keyways, splined shafts, threads, and grooves. A keyless device applies locking pressure uniformly over a large area around a shaft circumference and inside the hub, enabling it to transmit higher torque and shock loads more consistently than one that relies on a key to transmit torque. Because the shaft and drive component are locked firmly together, keyless locking devices prevent problems associated with keyed devices such as shaft play, slippage, backlash, and position misalignments."

"title": "http://wishongolf.com/short-powerful-backswing-so-whats-the-best-shaft-for-me/\nShort, Powerful Backswing: So Whatâs The Best Shaft for Me?",
"text": "Tweet Short backswings with strong acceleration do require more overall stiffness and/or more tip stiffness to prevent a sudden, forceful swing move from over bending the shaft at the start of the downswing. When choosing the right shaft, the weight of the shaft, the overall flex and the bend profile are the most important elements, with torque being much less important. The reason is because you just do not see higher torque with any shafts that are designed in a stiffer overall flex with more tip stiffness. The shaft companies know that players who need to use stiffer overall flex shafts and more tip stiff shafts also need to keep the torque no higher than 3.5*. So it is very rare in the industry these days to even see a normal S, a strong S or any X flex with tip stiff bend profile to ever have a torque higher than 4*. In addition, as long as the overall flex and bend profile and weight of the shaft are correct for a golfer’s swing, the difference between a torque of say, 2* and 3.5* is very minimal on shot dispersion. The golfer might notice that the 2* torque shaft felt a little stiffer at impact than the 3.5* torque version of the same flex and bend profile shaft, but he would not experience anything in the way of off line shots from a 1.5* torque difference. So do your best to get fit for the right shaft weight, shaft overall flex and bend profile for your swing moves and the torque is not going to be an issue. The best way to be sure you are properly fit for the right shafts that match all your swing characteristics is to find a GOOD Clubmaker/clubfitter in your area and have them use their knowledge and experience to custom fit you.-Tom About Tom Wishon Google+ | More Posts (58)17 Comments Greg Barker January 14, 2017Hi Tom,I came across a few of your articles in regards to type of shafts for different golfers, and I think they are great. I’m certainly still an amateur golfer, but am falling in love with the sport of golf. I live in a smaller city, and we don’t have any golf fitters available here, so am not 100% on my swing speed and what not. I hit my 5 iron 150 yards on average if that helps, and my drives around 215 yards or a little more."

The shaft taper should be clean and dry. Five minutes with a dial indicator while the shaft is still installed can save a lot of agony and expense later. Even a slightly bent shaft can ruin your boating pleasure. If you don't have a dial indicator, you can use the following method. Rest a pointed stick on the rudder, aligning the pointed end with the machined centre of the shaft, than rotate the shaft. Any deviation will be apparent indicating the tapered end of the shaft may be bent.2. Bearing check Before installing your new prop ensure that the shaft bearing is not worn."

H.\"\"Wound Man\"\" from a text book of surgery by Ambroise Paré (mid 1500s)There are many circumstances in which sutures are used to repair tissue and facilitate healing. The techniques that you use, the suture material you use, and the specific type of needle you use will vary depending on whether you are closing a simple laceration on the foot, a complex laceration on the face, a gastrointestinal anastomosis, a vascular anastomosis, or closing a median sternotomy. Tissue Response to Injury: Three Phases of Healing Hemostasis and Inflammation Fibroplasia Wound Maturation There is considerable overlap among these phases. Phase I – Hemostasis and Inflammation Illustration from the Ethicon Wound Closure Manual Illustration from the Ethicon Wound Closure Manual With vascular disruption there is transient vasoconstriction, followed by vasodilatation and increased capillary permeability. Contact of platelets with collagen and ground substance causes activation and aggregation of platelets. The intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation cascades are triggered, and chemotaxis attracts inflammatory cells. Neutrophils, which are the first nucleated cells to come into play, initiate phagocytosis and antimicrobial defense, but by the 3 rd or 4 th day macrophages have replaced the neutrophils as the dominant cell type. Macrophages play a central role in wound healing. They remove microbes and cellular debris through phagocytosis and enzymatic breakdown of the extracellular connective tissue matrix, and they elaborate cytokines which stimulate angiogenesis and fibroplasia."

It converts rotary or linear motion from the operator into a change of resistance, and this change is (or can be) used to control anything from the volume of a hi-fi system to the direction of a huge container ship. The pot as we know it was originally known as a rheostat (or reostat in some texts) - essentially a variable wirewound resistor. The array of different types is now quite astonishing, and it can be very difficult for the beginner (in particular) to work out which type is suitable for a given task. The fact that quite a few different pot types can all be used for the same task makes the job that much harder - freedom of choice is at best confusing when you don't know what the choices actually are, or why you should make them. This article is not about to cover every aspect of pots, but is an introduction to the subject. For anyone wanting to know more, visit manufacturers' web sites, and have a look at the specifications and available types. The very first variable resistors were either a block of carbon (or some other resistive material) with a sliding contact, or a box full of carbon granules, with a threaded screw to compress the granules. More compression leads to lower resistance, and vice versa. These are rare in modern equipment, so we shall limit ourselves to the more common types ."

Steel shafts come in two tip types, taper and parallel. The tip is the part of the shaft that fits into the hosel of the clubhead. The difference between the two types of shaft is the tip diameter and shaft weight. Taper Tip Just as its name implies, a taper-tip shaft tapers, getting smaller where it fits into the hosel. The standard taper-tip shaft for irons is .355 inch at the end and requires a clubhead with a hosel the same size. Taper-tip shafts are manufactured to the proper length for each club. For example, a 9-iron shaft would not be a proper fit for an 8-iron. Taper-tip shafts are also manufactured with constant weights, meaning the 3-iron shaft weighs the same as the 9-iron shaft. Parallel Tip With a parallel-tip shaft, the entire tip section--the portion below the last step--is a constant diameter."

"text": "Jill Dailey of The Dailey Method Career & Finance April 25, 2013Jill Dailey Mc Intosh has always been fascinated with movement. With a degree in Kinesiology and comprehensive and extensive movement-based experience, she transformed her love of fitness and movement into a workout which has changed the lives of dedicated fans worldwide. Jill is the founder, lead teacher, and devotee of The Dailey Method—a unique barre based class featuring strong elements of Pilates, ballet, and yoga. Just five minutes into the hour-long class and we guarantee you will already feel your muscles shake and burn. Instructors focus on small, repetitive movements and proper alignment (frequently adjusting clients during class) to work the lowest level of the muscle to sculpt in the most efficient and effective way possible. This full body workout, accompanied by energizing music, personal alignment instruction, and stretching, has devotees working tirelessly to see their own bodies transform into the long, lean dancer’s bodies of their dreams. After first being introduced to the Lotte Berk Method in New York over 10 years ago, Jill immediately fell in love with the method and began incorporating these moves into her personal training. After noticing improvements in both her clients’ bodies and her own, she decided to introduce the barre-based workout to California. Drawing on her past movement-based specialties, Jill created The Dailey Method, combining the barre-method with her kinesiology education and professional training experience while adding her own West Coast flair. Since opening her first studio 13 years ago in San Francisco, The Dailey Method has grown beyond the Bay Area and has expanded into almost 50 studios in eight different states across the country and four international locations."

"text": "\"Education & Reference Higher Education (University +)If you already have an Associates degree, how long does it take afterwards to get a Bachelors? I want to continue my education by transferring to either Boston University or Mc Gill. I will already have my Associates from a local community college. How long does it take to complete a Bachelors if you already have an Associates?1 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Well an associates degree is a two-year degree, and a bachelors degree is a four-year degree (usually), so theoretically it should take only two years. However, when you transfer there will be a point where your four-year school (Boston or Mc Gill, in this case) determines how your courses from community college correspond to their courses, which in some cases can put you ahead or behind. For example, in my case, I went to a community college full-time for three years, and still ended up going to a four-year college for three years. This happened because: -Some courses wouldn't transfer at all (Intro to Philosophy, which would've counted as humanities core if it had transferred) -Some courses transferred as less difficult courses (HTML and Java Script transferred as Office Applications, which worked out well because Office Applications was a universal core. Oddly enough, I took an Office Applications course at community college too, but it didn't transfer) -Some courses transferred as more difficult courses (physical anthropology transferred as biological anthropology. I know they are basically the same thing, but at cc it was a humanity and at the four-year school it counted as a natural science, like chemistry or physics might) -Some courses that were prerequisites for English at my community college were not prereqs at the four-year college or vice versa -Some courses that had two levels in comm college had only one level at the four-year school (English comp I and II at cc, and only English comp I at the four-year school, so English comp II did not transfer) I would recommend you contact someone from Boston or Mc Gill (it should be someone from \"\"academic advising\"\" or a similar department) and see what the transfer equivalencies are. To whatever extent you know what you're going to major in, take courses in that subject at community college."

Using techniques derived from kinesiology, Doctor David Hawkins presented a method by which one gauges truth (or consciousness): on a scale of 1 to 1000, where 1 is simply being alive and 1000 is an advanced state of enlightenment. I won’t go into the details of the actual test. Suffice it to say that it is simple. Get a feel for it, and an interesting overview of the origins of kinesiology, here: answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=591276. The author of this Google answer points out that: The truth is that, as John Diamond discovered, there is one muscle in the left arm which corresponds with the entire biofield of a human being, and can be used to test the impact, on the entire system, of anything from a pair of shoes to finding the correct dosage of a particular supplement FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL. Dr Diamond continually stressed that what might test healthy for one individual might significantly weaken another, and vice-versa. Hawkins sidesteps Dr. Diamond’s emphasis on individual differences, and claims that anyone above the level of 200 (only 15% of humanity) will always give the same results if you follow his method. For those in the lucky minority, Hawkins offers a guaranteed way of determining the truth."

Gobind Singh was the tenth Sikh guru or spiritual teacher. Kesh - uncut hair and beard, as given by God, to sustain him or her in higher consciousness; and a turban, the crown of spirituality.

A photograph of the Eiffel tower may represent Paris, but the name \"\"Paris\"\" represents cosmopolitanism, cuisine, love, and much more. In these cases, a word may be worth a thousand pictures. Symbols work like images that have meaning added to them. A rose is just a flower, until it is one of a bunch given as a present.

March 3, 2012 By Pamela Miles 24 Comments In the first article of this series, guest blogger and Reiki master Colin Powell shared historical background on writing the Japanese language. In Part 2, he unlocks the deeper meaning of the term Reiki. WRITING REIKI, PART 2If we look at Usui’s Memorial Stone (at right) or early Reiki certificates from the 1930s, we see the phrase Reiki Ryoho written in the original kanji characters. This is how Mikao Usui and Chujiro Hayashi would have written it. Some of the more traditional Japanese styles of Reiki are now using the original kanji, or at least teaching about it. There is, however, some reluctance to use the original Reiki kanji in publicity material in Japan because, although the memory of Usui Reiki Ryoho all but disappeared after World War 2, an awareness of Reiki has resurfaced in an unusual way. Many Japanese people, especially the younger generations, have become aware of Reiki through popular entertainment. Lions and tigers and ghosts, oh my!Japanese anime films and manga comics portray Reiki as a magical force or a sword of great power, even though the actual kanji used is different. Between that popular misrepresentation of Reiki and a meaning of the original Reiki kanji that carries connotations of spirits, ghosts and psychic phenomena, Reiki teachers in Japan have to be careful not to give potential students the wrong impression about Usui Reiki Ryoho."

The word for Albania in the native language is \"\"Shapiperia,\"\" translated as \"\"Land of Eagles.\"\" In the folktales of the country, the ruler was once known as \"\"The Eagle,\"\" and the eagle is said to guide and guard him as a \"\"Son of the Eagle. \"\" Field The red colour in the Albanian flag symbolises bravery, strength and valour. Red is the colour of blood, the life force, and it is found in a great many national flags."

"text": "\"Homework Help > One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest What was the Combine and what did it mean to Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?print Print document PDF list Cite Expert Answersaccessteacher | Certified Educator There is a lot that we have to piece together from the rather startling account that Chief Bromden gives us of the asylum where he is based. So much of what he sees and accepts as reality is not actually reality, but rather symbolises his understanding of what is going on. However, before we dismiss what he says, as we read the novel more closely we see that everything the Chief reports does have a correspondence to reality, even if it does not have the same form as Chief Bromden gives it in his account. He imagines the asylum where he lives to be some kind of highly controlled environment ran by the Combine, which is a name that Bromden gives to symbolise the oppressive forces of authority and society that have placed him, and all his fellow inmates, inside the asylum. Note the way that Bromden talks about patients who are taken away for \"\"treatment\"\" and are returned as a \"\"success story\"\": A success, they say, but I say he's just another robot for the Combine and might be better off as a failure, like Ruckly sitting there fumbling and drooling over his picture. The Combine, then, seems to represent the forces of society that want patients such as Bromden controlled and kept under lock and key. Of course, the chief representative of the Combine in the novel is Nurse Ratched, whom Bromden imagines installing machinery inside of patients to keep them under control. Although this is clearly false, Nurse Ratched is shown to maintain her control through a terrifying mix of cruelty, manipulation and suggestion that operates just as efficiently as the imagined machinery Bromden perceives. Bromden does his best to try and avoid the attentions of the Combine, and his mist that he dreams up is a defence mechanism to protect him from the attentions of the Combine. He is terrified by the idea of losing control to the Combine like others have before him.list Cite link Link \""

The dream simply uses the fight to portray this everyday struggle in the dreamers life.

"text": "\"Food symbolism: Why do we give food meaning? By Anna-Louise Taylor BBC News23 January 2012Share Dishes eaten at Chinese New Year carry great significance, as does the way a Burns Night supper is presented. But these are not the only meals which represent something to diners and the reasons we attach meaning are as myriad as the food itself. It seems odd that a small parcel of tasty filling encased in a light dough wrapper can represent so much. But the jiaozi dumpling symbolises prosperity to diners, who traditionally sit down for a family feast on the eve of Chinese New Year. It also means wealth when the dumpling is crescent shaped, like the gold ingot once used in ancient China as money. Chinese chef Ching-He Huang says the centuries-old \"\"lucky\"\" food traditions come from superstitions about feeding the spiritual world, legends and history. \"\" For example, the bamboo glutinous rice, zongzi, was eaten to commemorate a famed poet. These rice dumplings were thrown in a river so the fish would feed on the rice instead of his corpse, because he threw himself into the river and he was a well-loved poet and patriot of the people,\"\" she says. Fuchsia Dunlop, BBC journalist and author of the Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook, says many of the meanings given to Chinese food are homophones of their names in Mandarin."

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) answers questions about how federal employment discrimination law applies to religious dress and grooming practices, and what steps employers can take to meet their legal responsibilities in this area. Examples of religious dress and grooming practices include wearing religious clothing or articles ( e.g., a Muslim hijab (headscarf), a Sikh turban, or a Christian cross); observing a religious prohibition against wearing certain garments ( e.g., a Muslim, Pentecostal Christian, or Orthodox Jewish woman's practice of not wearing pants or short skirts), or adhering to shaving or hair length observances ( e.g., Sikh uncut hair and beard, Rastafarian dreadlocks, or Jewish peyes (sidelocks)). In most instances, employers are required by federal law to make exceptions to their usual rules or preferences to permit applicants and employees to observe religious dress and grooming practices.1. What is the federal law relating to religious dress and grooming in the workplace? Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U. S. C. § 2000e, et seq., as amended (\"\"Title VII\"\"),prohibits employers with at least 15 employees (including private sector, state, and local government employers), as well as employment agencies, unions, and federal government agencies, from discriminating in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It also prohibits retaliation against persons who complain of discrimination or participate in an EEO investigation. With respect to religion, Title VII prohibits among other things:disparate treatment based on religion in recruitment, hiring, promotion, benefits, training, job duties, termination, or any other aspect of employment (except that \"\"religious organizations\"\" as defined under Title VII are permitted to prefer members of their own religion in deciding whom to employ);denial of reasonable accommodation for sincerely held religious practices, unless the accommodation would cause an undue hardship for the employer;workplace or job segregation based on religion;workplace harassment based on religion;retaliation for requesting an accommodation (whether or not granted), for filing a discrimination charge with the EEOC, for testifying, assisting, or participating in any manner in an EEOC investigation or EEO proceeding, or for opposing discrimination. There may be state or local laws in your jurisdiction that have protections that are parallel to or broader than those in Title VII.2.

Why do we have to take off our shoes when we go into Baba ji’s room or Gurdwara when Christians don’t, even though they too have their holy Bible placed in their church? For us, the Guru Granth Sahib is the living spirit of the Gurus, not just a compilation of religious discourses, as the Bible is. The Bible is handled like a book by the Christians, but we respect the Guru Granth Sahib as the living spiritual Guru. Hence we offer all our respect and regard by taking off our shoes and humbly sitting crosslegged in a Gurdwara. In Eastern culture, taking off shoes and covering one’s head whenever you present yourself to some holy personality is considered a way of respecting the person. We greet our friends with folded hands and a slight bow to express our respect for a senior person. In the Middle East, the Muslims too take off their shoes and cover their heads when they go to the mosque for their prayers. They do not walk with their shoes on even near graves to respect the people buried there. In the Gurdwara we take off our shoes, not only to show respect to the Guru, but also because we have to sit on the floor."

Also frequently spelled Baisakhi, Vaisakhi has origins as a springtime festival in the Punjab region, but since 1699 has taken on a great deal of religious significance for Sikhs. On Vaisakhi in that year, Guru Gobind Singh created the Khalsa and established much of what is at the core of the Sikh faith today. Sikh priests march at the Gurdwara Panja Sahib, one of Sikhism’s most holy places, during the Vaisakhi festival in Hasan Abdal, about 48 kms from Rawalpindi, on April 14, 2015. Huff Post blogger Satpal Singh explains: On the Vaisakhi day of 1699 (the first day of the month of ‘Vaisakh’ in the Sikh calendar), Siri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, the tenth Guru, formalized the concept of Saint-Soldier by introducing the Amrit ceremony (the formal initiation ceremony). The initiates were instructed to keep the five K’s: Kes (uncut hair), Kangha (a small comb), Karra (an iron bracelet), Kachh (a special short) and Kirpan (a sword). They were given the title of Khalsa, meaning those whose life and spirit belonged only to the One Universal Creator and not to any ruler, tyrant or even a messenger of the Creator. The principle of One Universal Creator, a founding principle of the Sikh Faith, means that all human beings are children of the same One Creator, and are thus all equal, irrespective of their religion, gender, race, color, caste or the like. Many Sikhs observe Vaisakhi by making pilgrimages and participating in rituals at traditional holy sites. Dancing, fireworks, and feasts among family and friends are also common practice for those in India, Pakistan, and around the world."

A kidney, ureter, and bladder (KUB) X-ray may be performed to assess the abdominal area for causes of abdominal pain, or to assess the organs and structures of the urinary and/or gastrointestinal (GI) system. A KUB X-ray may be the first diagnostic procedure used to assess the urinary system. X-rays use invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs on film. X-rays are made by using external radiation to produce images of the body, its organs, and other internal structures for diagnostic purposes. X-rays pass through body tissues onto specially treated plates (similar to camera film) and a \"\"negative\"\" type picture is made (the more solid a structure is, the whiter it appears on the film). Digital films and digital media are more commonly used now than the film media. Other related procedures that may be used to diagnose problems of the urinary organs of the abdomen include computed tomography (CT scan) of the kidney, kidney ultrasound, kidney scan, cystography, cystometry, cystoscopy, intravenous pyelogram, kidney biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) , prostate ultrasound, retrograde cystography, retrograde pyelogram, uroflowmetry, and renal venogram.

[ 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. ["

The cause of bone cancer is not known, although several theories have been postulated. It occurs most often in the long bones, particularly the distal wrist or ankle, or proximal hip or shoulder bones. It can also occur in the skull, ribs, spine and pelvis . The best defense against this horrible disease is awareness, early detection and treatment. Sadly, many dogs are diagnosed after weeks or months of lameness attributed to sprains, arthritis or other joint problems. In the early stages, routinely prescribed anti-inflammatory medications may provide some pain relief, delaying the diagnosis even further. Persistent lameness may be the only sign of bone cancer."

Purpose of the KUB Radiography To determine the size, shape, and position of the kidneys and bladder To detect obvious abnormalities of the urinary system, such as kidney stones To help differentiate between urologic and gastrointestinal diseases, which both produce abdominal pain To locate a foreign object (e.g., that has been swallowed)To detect air or fluid in the space surrounding the abdominal organs (peritoneal space)Who Performs KUB Radiography A radiologist or a qualified technician Special Concerns about KUB Radiography Pregnant women should not undergo this test because exposure to ionizing radiation may harm the fetus. The presence of severe obesity, gas or feces in the intestine or residual barium in the abdomen from a recent contrast x-ray study may interfere with clear visualization of the urinary system. Before the KUB Radiography Tell your doctor if you had a barium contrast x-ray or have taken medication containing bismuth, such as Pepto-Bismol, within the last four days as this may interfere with the test. Tell your doctor if you have an intrauterine device (IUD). Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or may be pregnant. Do not eat or drink anything for 4 hours before the test.

"text": "What is Abdominal Pain? The abdomen is an anatomical area that is bounded by the lower margin of the ribs and diaphragm above, the pelvic bone (pubic ramus) below, and the flanks on each side. Although abdominal pain can arise from the tissues of the abdominal wall that surround the abdominal cavity (such as the skin and abdominal wall muscles), the term abdominal pain generally is used to describe pain originating from organs within the abdominal cavity. Organs of the abdomen include the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas. Abdominal pain can range in intensity from a mild stomach ache to severe acute pain. The pain is often nonspecific and can be caused by a variety of conditions. What Causes Abdominal Pain? Abdominal pain is caused by inflammation (for example, appendicitis, diverticulitis, colitis), by stretching or distention of an organ (for example, obstruction of the intestine, blockage of a bile duct by gallstones, swelling of the liver with hepatitis ), or by loss of the supply of blood to an organ (for example, ischemic colitis). To complicate matters, however, abdominal pain also can occur for unclear reasons without inflammation, distention, or loss of blood supply. An important example of this latter type of pain is the irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS )."

"text": "Leukocytes in Urine-What does it mean?– by admin 0Leukocyte is a term associated with white blood cells, those which are responsible for fighting off infection and clearing them from the body. Leukocytes can be broken down into two types, those that stain under microscopic examination, exhibiting granules and those without granules. Regardless of their appearance, they function as part of the immune system and are sent to any part of the body where infection is suspected The presence of leukocytes in urine is generally indicative of a urinary tract infection. When a urinalysis is ordered, it may be ordered as part of a panel of multiple constitutes monitoring for abnormal levels; or as a single test called leukocyte esterase. The esterase is an enzyme released by the white blood cells and when detectable indicates the presence of leukocytes in urine. An infection within the urinary tract evident by leukocytes in urine can occur in one or multiple sections including: Sponsored link• Urethra (urethritis)• Bladder (cystitis)• Ureters (ureteritis)• Kidney (nephritis, pyelonephritis, or glomerulonephritis depending on the area within the kidney).

The body is continual fighting infections preventing illness and therefore the detection of leukocytes, when in small quantities, is generally not of concern.

Before the inception of CBR-East, co-founders Pattie Scully and Carolyn Sterner had decided that any rescue that they would be involved with had to be willing to work with research laboratories. During her experiences volunteering for beagle rescues, Carolyn had worked on establishing a positive relationship with one research facility beginning in 2003, and it resulted in the first-of-its kind \"\"release to rescue\"\" for that particular laboratory. We never imagined how things would progress, but it was always a hope that other laboratories would follow suit and take a chance on rewarding their laboratory animals, as well as their animal care staff (quite a morale boost to see these pups adopted!) The first intake of 11 laboratory beagles in late Summer 2006 launched a new division devoted to this area of need. It continues to grow with a record number of facilities inquiring and releasing to us ever since! As of Summer 2010, we have accepted over 100 retirees from 9 different research facilities, with additional requests coming in.

Chemistry tests fall into two broad categories, routine (also called general) and immunochemistry. This article will address routine chemistry testing in a medical practice laboratory and the next installment in this series will cover immunochemistry testing. Routine chemistries encompass those tests that are measured by any of four methods: Mixing serum or plasma with chemicals that create color when they react with whatever is being measured. Measuring the effects of enzymes on substrates. The use of Ion Selective Electrodes (to measure electrolytes like sodium and potassium. ) Nephelometry, which is creating precipitates that cause cloudiness and measuring that cloudiness (used much less frequently used than the other three methods. ) The routine chemistry tests that are most often ordered in a physician office lab (POL) are those in these CPT-defined test panels: Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (14 tests)Basic Metabolic Panel (8 tests)Hepatic Function Panel (7 – 9 tests)Lipid Panel (4-6 tests)The most commonly ordered individual tests are glucose, potassium, and total cholesterol.

"text": "Laboratory assistants receive and store blood and other samples. Doctors are often able to make an accurate diagnosis based on your symptoms, but they can draw on other tools when they are uncertain. For example, they may order laboratory tests on your blood or cell tissues to check for specific problems. Labs employ a number of technical professionals with varying levels of skill and education. Entry-level positions are held by laboratory assistants. Laboratory Structure Whether it's a standalone laboratory serving multiple facilities or the in-house lab at a hospital or clinic, your local laboratory is designed to make cost-effective use of its staff. The pathologists who oversee the lab's operation are its most valuable asset, and their time is jealously guarded. Pathologists perform the most challenging tests and diagnoses, and oversee the work of other staff. Highly trained technologists perform many test procedures and prescreen the results for the pathologists' review. Laboratory technicians attend to routine tests and screening under the technologists' supervision, while laboratory assistants take care of routine chores that don't require a technician's expertise."

CODIS1. What is CODIS? CODIS is the acronym for the Combined DNA Index System and is the generic term used to describe the FBI’s program of support for criminal justice DNA databases as well as the software used to run these databases. The National DNA Index System or NDIS is considered one part of CODIS, the national level, containing the DNA profiles contributed by federal, state, and local participating forensic laboratories. CODIS DNA Databases2. How do these DNA databases using CODIS work? For example, in the case of a sexual assault where an evidence kit is collected from the victim, a DNA profile of the suspected perpetrator is developed from the swabs in the kit. The forensic unknown profile attributed to the suspected perpetrator is searched against their state database of convicted offender and arrestee profiles (contained within the Convicted Offender and Arrestee Indices, if that state is authorized to collect and database DNA samples from arrestees). If there is a candidate match in the Convicted Offender or Arrestee Index, the laboratory will go through procedures to confirm the match and, if confirmed, will obtain the identity of the suspected perpetrator."

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

Dentists and staff wonder why dental benefits for crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, CEREC fabricated units, and other types of computer-assisted restorations are so limited. They wonder if there are some little known codes they might use on patient claims that could provide better results. Are there \"\"special\"\" codes for CAD/CAM restorations? What is the real story on coding for replacements? Typical insurance guidelines for benefits• Most carriers will reimburse patients for anterior or bicuspid porcelain/ceramic or resin crowns with no alternative benefits requirement. What is an alternative benefit? The carrier pays toward a less expensive, but \"\"adequate\"\" service, such as an all-base-metal crown instead of a porcelain/ceramic crown. The patient is typically liable for the amount not covered.

You most frequently interact with physicians and nurses who are responsible for providing patient care. You are also likely to interact with office and administrative staff members who schedule your appointments and tests. They also assist you with insurance claims processing and billing issues. While these dedicated individuals play essential roles in the delivery of healthcare on the “front lines,” there are other professionals working behind the scenes. These professionals ensure that doctors and nurses have the information they need to properly diagnose medical conditions and develop effective and safe treatment protocols for their patients. One such professional is the Medical Laboratory Technician. What Is a Medical Lab Technician? If you have ever had blood drawn or provided urine or tissue samples for testing, it has likely been sent to a Medical Laboratory Technician for evaluation.

"text": "The lacrimal gland is a gland that produces one of the components in tears. It is a lobed gland located on the outer side of each eye. These glands produce the aqueous portion of tears, consisting of liquid, salts, proteins and lysozyme. Tears are produced constantly to protect and lubricate the eye, but when additional tears are required to clean substances from the eye or when crying, the lacrimal gland produces the majority of these tears. Major functions of tears include bringing oxygen and other necessary nutrients to the cornea, carrying waste products away from the cornea, preventing the cornea from becoming infected and maintaining the proper levels of saline on the cornea to protect the eye and preserve vision. If the cornea becomes too dry or too wet, eyesight can be affected, causing near- or farsightedness. These changes usually are situational and temporary, but long-term malfunction of the lacrimal gland can lead to chronic conditions such as dry eye. Other problems with the lacrimal glands include inflammation, infection, or tumors developing in the glands. Swelling in these glands can occur as a side effect of other problems such as Epstein-Barr syndrome or mumps, or it can occur because of bacterial or viral infection. It usually temporary is, but chronic lacrimal inflammation can be a symptom of Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis or other serious conditions."

It’s NOT NORMAL at all. It means that the barriers preventing air and fluid from passing backwards from the nose and sinuses into the eye are defective. Thus air is refluxing from the nasal passages or ethmoid sinus, either though the lacrimal sac/canalicular/punctual system, or possibly through a fistula connecting the nasal passages. Neither of those are normal conditions. Plus, if air can get into your eye from your nose or sinus, then potentially so can snot and nasal bacteria. Not really a good thing. The barriers that should be preventing reflux of air or materials into the eye are the Valve of Rosenmuller (at the connection between the common canaliculus and the lacrimal sac), and the Valve of Hasner, where the lacrimal sac empties into the nasal passages."

"text": "Introduction Dry eyes are a common problem especially in women and in those over 60. True dry eye or keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is due to insufficient aqueous (water) tear production by the lacrimal gland. The lacrimal gland is situated under the outer aspect of the upper eyelid. Dry eye symptoms may also occur if other components of the tears (mucus and lipid) are insufficient in the presence of eyelid or conjunctival disease such as blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) or when normal blinking is disrupted by neurological or eyelid abnormalities. The main constituent of tears are water (the aqueous component), secreted by the lacrimal gland. This is required to moisten the eye, wash away debris and provide a smooth corneal surface for optimal focusing. The lacrimal gland also secretes antibodies and antibacterial elements to protect the eye. An oily, outer, lipid layer is secreted mainly by glands within the eyelids (the Meibomian Glands) and is required for lubrication for blinking and to lessen tear evaporation. An inner mucus layer, secreted by glands within the conjunctiva, is required for even spreading of the tears over the eye surface. What Causes Dry Eye?"

"text": "<< Back to August 2015Oral Treatment For Dry Eyes August 2015By Stephen Ramirez Scientists in Japan have made an important discovery that could revolutionize treatment for people suffering from dry eye syndrome. Researchers found that an extract from the South American maqui berry can mitigate an underlying factor in dry eye syndrome—leading to significant improvements in symptoms and quality of life. This represents a noteworthy improvement over commercial eye drops, which contain ingredients that some people are allergic to and only provide temporary relief. 1This unique oral approach is capable of relieving dry eyes by supporting natural tear production. That means you can take a single capsule once daily and experience soothing, youthful tear production day in and day out. No other known natural oral treatment is capable of boosting aqueous tear fluid secretion and enhancing the function of the tear film like this. Patients with dry eye symptoms have found lasting improvements in eye comfort. Compelling scientific studies demonstrate how maqui berry extract capitalizes on your body’s own natural mechanisms to boost tear output, restore comfort, and add a youthful shine to your eyes. What Is Dry Eye Syndrome? Dry eye syndrome occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough tears to keep your eyes moist."

Full Page View | Frames View | Main Page | Search Site | Home One-sixth of the outer layer of the eye (called the tunic fibrosa or fibrous tunic) bulges forward as the cornea, the transparent dome which serves as the outer window of the eye. The cornea is the primary (most powerful) structure focusing light entering the eye (along with the secondary focusing structure, the crystalline lens ). The cornea is composed, for the most part, of connective tissue with a thin layer of epithelium on the surface. Epithelium is the type of tissue that covers all free body surfaces. The cornea is composed of 5 layers, from the front to the back:epithelium ,Bowman’s (anterior limiting) membrane ,stroma (substantia propria) ,Descemet’s (posterior limiting) membrane, andendothelium (posterior epithelium) . The transparency of the cornea is due to the fact that it contains hardly any cells and no blood vessels. However, blood vessels can creep in from around it, if it is constantly irritated or infected, which can interfere with vision. On the other hand, the cornea contains the highest concentration of nerve fibers of any body structure, making it extremely sensitive to pain. The nerve fibers enter on the margins of the cornea and radiate toward the center."

The opening of the nasolacrimal duct into the inferior nasal meatus is partially covered by a mucosal fold (valve of Hasner or plica lacrimalis). Excess tears flow through nasolacrimal duct which drains into the inferior nasal meatus. This is the reason the nose starts to run when a person is crying or has watery eyes from an allergy, and why one can sometimes taste eye drops. Like the lacrimal sac, the duct is lined by stratified columnar epithelium containing mucus-secreting goblet cells, and is surrounded by connective tissue. Obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct may occur. [ 1] This leads to the excess overflow of tears called epiphora. A congenital obstruction can cause cystic expansion of the duct and is called a dacrocystocele or Timo cyst. Persons with dry eye conditions can be fitted with punctal plugs that seal the ducts to limit the amount of fluid drainage and retain moisture. The canal containing the nasolacrimal duct is called the nasolacrimal canal."

[email protected] Abstract Sjögren syndrome (SS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are both collagen vascular diseases that can be accompanied by Ro antibodies. Clinical evidence suggests that they are wholly distinct diseases. SS is strongly linked to lymphoma while lupus is not. SS patients do not commonly exhibit photosensitivity even though anti-Ro antibodies circulate in their blood; SLE patients generally exhibit photosensitivity. SS does not respond to hydroxychloroquine in a reproducible fashion whereas SLE does. SS has not been linked to parvovirus B19, but SLE has. However, SS and SLE do have similarities. Their autoantibody profiles are similar. They effect women more than men and have similar HLA haplotypes and autoantibodies; this is not likely coincidence but it may not clinically relevant."

"text": "What does a Land Surveyor do? January 6, 2017 kurt lee Construction, Engineering, Sciences, Trades, Uncategorized Surveyors take measurements of land, water and airspace boundaries using a variety of specialized equipment, such as tripod-mounted levels and transits, area planimeters, and total stations, which measure angles and distances. Among the calculations a land surveyor compiles are data about the size, shape, location, contour and elevation of a land mass–information critical for use in land deeds and leases, or in construction and mining activities. The field of surveying has changed with the inception of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Today’s land surveyor’s often use small GPS units attached to a tripod to collect precise positioning data. How to become a land surveyor Many surveyors formerly learned their skills on the job, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports, but most land surveyors working today have earned at least a bachelor’s degree in surveying, surveying technology or a related field, such as civil engineering or forestry. Obtaining an education helps land surveyors quickly enter the workforce, as well as to fully understanding the highly complex equipment used daily. The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping offers thousands of dollars each year in scholarships for students interested in surveying and mapping professions. Each state requires that surveyors be licensed as well. Most states administer a series of written tests compiled by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying."

"text": "What Does a Land Surveyor Do? - Video Land Surveyors work to determine boundaries of properties and measurements of the Earth. Typical fields of work may include engineering and architecture. Job Description Land surveyors play an important role in the planning and design of many fields, including transportation, building and construction, mapping and real estate. A Land Surveyor's primary role is to determine where and how legal boundaries are created. Land Surveyor may be responsible for mapping the topography of land for engineering and construction design, establishing borders for real estate titling, certifying that structures are built to specifications and mapping areas for roads, airports or railway systems. Surveyors will also map things like slopes, river bottoms and aerial spaces. These duties are usually performed by recording measurements in the field using a total station. A total station uses a beam of light to accurately measure distances and angles. The surveyor will then collect this data and perform calculations using algebra, geometry and trigonometry."

The importance of getting your future home surveyed has never been greater. In these trying times, along with all the red tape involved in purchasing a home, it’s almost impossible to know if you are truly getting what you are paying for. This is especially important when it comes to your property and knowing if there are issues that should be disclosed before you take the leap of purchasing a home. Many banks used to require land surveys before purchasing land, but due to the recent financial crisis and efforts to cut what banks consider nonessential costs, the importance of getting a survey before purchasing land has been put on the back burner. However, the importance of a land survey before you make the most important financial decision of your life has never been greater. Need professional help with your project?

HOW DOES A SURVEYOR FIND THE CORNERS OF MY PROPERTY? If your property is located within a subdivision: We use the Brass Cap Monuments set by the developer when the final plat for your subdivision was filed with the Maricopa County Recorder (M. C. R.). These monuments are usually located in the center of an intersection or in the centerline of the road, where the road curves. Our surveyor uses the bearings (N 23°15' 30? E) and distances (141.39') from these monuments to locate the precise corners of your lot. It is interesting to note that a surveyor measures the distance in feet and decimals of a foot, not inches."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Real estate appraisal, property valuation or land valuation is the process of developing an opinion of value for real property (usually market value ). Real estate transactions often require appraisals because they occur infrequently and every property is unique (especially their condition, a key factor in valuation), unlike corporate stocks, which are traded daily and are identical (thus a centralized Walrasian auction like a stock exchange is unrealistic). The location also plays a key role in valuation. However, since property cannot change location, it is often the upgrades or improvements to the home that can change its value. Appraisal reports form the basis for mortgage loans, settling estates and divorces, taxation, and so on. Sometimes an appraisal report is used to establish a sale price for a property. Besides the mandatory educational grade, which can vary from Finance to Construction Technology, most, but not all, countries require appraisers to have the license for the practice. Usually, the real estate appraiser has the opportunity to reach 3 levels of certification: Appraisal Trainee, Licensed Appraiser and Certified Appraiser. The second and third levels of license require no less than 2000 experience hours in 12 months and 2500 experience hours in no less than 24 months respectively. [ 1] [2] Appraisers are often known as \"\"property valuers\"\" or \"\"land valuers\"\"; in British English they are \"\"valuation surveyors\"\"."

A legal description enters the real property transaction for the seller at the time he or she signs the listing agreement. It is a legal requirement in the seller’s warranty deed and it also appears in the security deed. The buyer sees the legal description for the first time when he or she signs the offer containing the description. The offer needs to include a legal description. The licensee must include in the sales contract a legal description of the property that is good enough to identify the property from any other or clear enough that anyone could go on the land and point out the boundary lines. If the legal description (also called \"\"land description\"\" or \"\"legal\"\") is too vague, it may void the contract. This chapter deals with the basic information a licensee needs to know about legal descriptions to write sales contracts well enough to close them and to avoid legal problems. SOURCES OF LEGAL DESCRIPTIONSThe principal source of legal descriptions is the seller's Warranty Deed. If the seller cannot provide a warranty deed, the licensee can get the legal description from the security deed."

"text": "\"5.5 Land Surveying and Conventional Techniques for Measuring Positions on the Earth’s Surface Print Ease, accuracy, and worldwide availability have made ‘GPS’ a household term. Yet, none of the power or capabilities of GPS would have been possible without traditional surveyors paving the way. The techniques and tools of conventional surveying are still in use and, as you will see, are based on the very same concepts that underpin even the most advanced satellite-based positioning. Geographic positions are specified relative to a fixed reference. Positions on the globe, for instance, may be specified in terms of angles relative to the center of the Earth, the equator, and the prime meridian. Land surveyors measure horizontal positions in geographic or plane coordinate systems relative to previously surveyed positions called control points, most of which are indicated physically in the world with a metal “benchmark” that fixes the location and, as shown here, may also indicate elevation about mean sea level (Figure 5.10). In 1988 NGS established four orders of control point accuracy, ranging in maximum base error from 3mm to 5cm. In the U. S., the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) maintains a National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) that consists of approximately 300,000 horizontal and 600,000 vertical control stations (Doyle,1994). Doyle (1994) points out that horizontal and vertical reference systems coincide by less than ten percent. This is because:....horizontal stations were often located on high mountains or hilltops to decrease the need to construct observation towers usually required to provide line-of-sight for triangulation, traverse and trilateration measurements."

"text": "Boundary Surveying Why do you need a boundary survey? A boundary line survey allows you to see the exact boundary of what you are buying or selling. A boundary survey can determine if there are any easements for utilities such as water, sewer, drainage ways, power lines, etc. on your property. A property line survey identifies any encroachments like driveways, fences or buildings on the property or crossing any of your boundary lines. A boundary survey and drawing provide you the exact property line measurements and the precise locations of all structures (houses, barns, etc. ), fences, or driveways related to those property boundary lines. A boundary survey might also include a determination of whether you are in a floodplain. A boundary survey can provide markings along your property lines which allow you to put up a fence on your property boundary line in the correct location so that you don’t encroach on another property or leave too much space between the fence and the boundary line. A boundary survey is the first step in being able to subdivide your property to divide it among family members."

( Dreamstime photo)By Bob Aaron Property law Fri., June 27, 2014I just found out that the boathouse and dock in front of my cottage were constructed on a municipal road allowance, and that I do not own them. What can I do? Cottage season is in full swing on this Canada Day weekend, and it’s a busy season for real estate agents in holiday country. Buying a summer home in cottage country, unlike a city real estate transaction, makes road access and waterfront issues of critical importance. At a Law Society program presented to 1,400 real estate lawyers this past April, Bracebridge lawyer Nathalie Tinti discussed why shoreline road allowances are so important in cottage purchases. She explained that in many parts of Ontario, from Georgian Bay to east of the Ottawa River, surveyors of Crown land in the late 19th century were instructed to lay out a 66-foot strip of land for commercial road allowances along the banks of lakes and rivers. For several decades after about 1880, these roads were used for logging and transportation of goods. They have little commercial purpose now, but have become critical issues in cottage country real estate transactions."

"text": "“What do I do with my Problem Tenant?”Aug 8, 2017 by By Mark H. Stein, Esq.-A Question and Answer Analysis-Do you know what to do if your tenant is causing problems and/or not paying rent? It is surprising to find out that may landlords are unsure how to proceed if they have a problem tenant. Many landlords try to evict a tenant themselves and are frustrated by the legal process. Listed below are some of the questions most commonly asked by landlords. The following answers are an attempt to provide landlord or prospective landlords with the tools necessary to become a more effective manager. Question: My tenant is not paying his rent. Can I just change the locks and throw him out? Answer: No. A 1984 Court of Appeals decision establishes that a landlord may only remove a tenant from rental premises through a court proceeding. An eviction action (called a summary proceeding) is designed to provide the landlord with a quick method for regaining possession of the property while still protecting the rights of the tenant. “"

Download These Eviction Notices Use the Button Above or Click here for a Special Offer on these Iowa Eviction Notice Forms These nonjudicial methods, also called self-eviction, includes denying the tenant access to the unit, removing the tenant’s personal belongings, shutting off essential services or threatening the tenant if he or she does not leave. By adhering to the eviction process in Iowa, a landlord may end a rental agreement before its expiration. Valid reasons include if the tenant fails to pay the rent, does not comply with a material provision in the lease, or commits a continuing nuisance or presents a clear and present danger to the landlord or other tenants.3-Day Notice to Quit Nonpayment of rent The Iowa eviction notice for nonpayment of rent is 3 days. In these situations, the written notice must advise the tenant of the amount due and any other fees or sums owed and that the lease will be terminated unless payment is made within 3 full days after the notice is served. The notice is served after the day the rent is due. Also, the first day is not counted towards the compliance period. Partial rent payment A landlord may accept a partial rent payment by giving the tenant a written grace period to pay the remainder. If the tenant does not pay the due amount by the end of the grace period, the landlord may proceed with the next step in the Iowa eviction process without the need for another notice."

"text": "Location: EVICTION; Scope: Connecticut laws/regulations; Background;October 3, 20112011-R-0350EVICTION PROCESS AND TIME FRAMEBy: James Orlando, Associate Analyst You asked for a description of the eviction process, including how long it takes to evict someone and a legislative history of changes affecting the eviction time frame. SUMMARYTo evict a residential tenant in Connecticut, a landlord must have a legally sufficient ground for eviction and follow a statutorily prescribed procedure, known as summary process. Grounds for eviction include lapse of time (i.e., expiration of the lease), nonpayment of rent, material noncompliance with the lease, breach of statutory duties, and illegal conduct or serious nuisance. Once a landlord has established a ground for eviction, he or she begins the process by serving the tenant with a notice to quit possession. If the tenant fails to respond to this notice by refusing to move from the rented premises, the landlord may initiate proceedings in Superior Court by filing a summons and complaint. The tenant can respond to the complaint. If a tenant contests the action, the court tries the case and enters judgment. The process ends when the court orders the judgment executed and a state marshal executes it by removing the tenant and his or her belongings. The Judicial Branch could not provide precise data on how long it takes to evict someone. According to a representative of the branch, the minimum time for a summary process to proceed to judgment is 30 to 45 days from the service on the tenant of the notice to quit possession."

A: Quick Answer Although a landlord needs only to give a tenant 30 days' written notice to end a tenancy in most cases, some state and local governments require that landlords show cause for terminating the rental agreement, according to Nolo.

What Are the Tenant's Rights During an Eviction? Can a Landlord Terminate a Tenant's Lease by Simply Writing a Termination Letter? Full Answer In the typical month-to-month rental agreement with no written contract, the landlord and tenant both have the power to terminate the agreement by delivering a letter stating that intent to the other party with 30 days' notice, Find Law notes. No reason or cause needs to be given, and the letter can be delivered at any time during the month. The tenancy ends 30 days later, even if that's not the day rent is due. Rent is typically prorated for the last month if the tenancy ends fewer than 30 days after the last rent payment."

"text": "Does A Tenant Have Any Rights When There Is Not A Written Lease? Disclaimer A tenant who occupies rental property with the landlord`s consent and makes rent payments without a written lease is called a tenantatwill. Georgia landlordtenant law, including eviction laws and security deposits laws, still applies. A tenantatwill has the right to occupy and use the rented premises subject to any restrictions upon which the landlord and the tenant have agreed. Because there is not a written lease, Georgia law regulates the type of notice which a tenantatwill and the landlord of the tenantatwill must give to terminate or change the original rental agreement. A tenant must give thirty (30) days notice to the landlord to terminate or change the original agreement. A landlord who has a tenantatwill must give sixty (60) days notice to the tenant before seeking to terminate the agreement or change any term of the original agreement. This means the landlord must give a tenantatwill sixty (60) days notice before imposing a rent increase. To protect your legal rights any and all notices should be in writing. When a tenantatwill fails to pay rent the landlord is not required to give the sixty days notice before terminating the tenancy."

Wisch Place of Publication: Michigan State University College of Law Publish Year: 2015Primary Citation: Animal Legal & Historical Center0 Country of Origin: United States Summary: This document gives some brief answers to questions on emotional support animals in housing. Overview of Assistance Animals in Housing (skip to Questions)An emotional support animal is a type of assistance animal that is recognized as a \"\"reasonable accommodation\"\" for a person with a disability under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHAct, 42 U. S. C. A. 3601 et seq.). The assistance animal is not a pet according to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD is the agency that oversees the FHAct and investigates claims of housing discrimination. There are only two questions that HUD says a housing provider should consider with a request for an assistance animal as a reasonable accommodation: (1) Does the person seeking to use and live with the animal have a disability — i.e., a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities? ( 2) Does the person making the request have a disability-related need for an assistance animal? In other words, does the animal work, provide assistance, perform tasks or services for the benefit of a person with a disability, or provide emotional support that alleviates one or more of the identified symptoms or effects of a person's existing disability? ( FHEO Notice: FHEO-2013-01 at page 2 ). A \"\"no\"\" answer to either of the questions means that a housing provider is not obligated to make a reasonable accommodation according to HUD. This may mean that the person does not meet the definition of disability or that the assistance animal does not help with symptoms of the disability."

A landlord may evict a tenant, through either a formal eviction process or a summary eviction process, for not paying rent or for violating part of the lease or rental agreement. The eviction notice requirements for lease violations are slightly different from the eviction notice requirements for nonpayment of rent. A landlord would use the formal eviction process when suing for both possession of the rental unit and money damages in the same lawsuit. The summary eviction process is used only for gaining possession of the rental unit. The landlord can still sue for money damages, just in a separate lawsuit."

Successfully terminating the tenancy will depend upon the terms of the lease and the proper timing and service of the Notice of Non-renewal. Failure to non-renew properly can result in an unwanted extension of the tenancy. An improperly served or timed Notice of Non-renewal does not cure itself by the passage of time and thus becomes void to the tenant’s favor. Just as the tenant has a right to leave after the expiration of a lease, the landlord also has a right to make a tenant leave at the expiration of the lease. In this article, we will examine non-renewing a tenant at lease end and non-renewing the month-to-month tenant. NON-RENEWING A TENANT AT LEASE ENDDO YOU NEED A REASON TO NON-RENEW AT LEASE END? A landlord can non-renew a tenant for any reason or no reason at all, as long as the non-renewal is not based upon any illegal, discriminatory or retaliatory reason. A landlord is not required to provide the tenant with the reason for the non-renewal.

A lease contract can involve any property that is not illegal to own. Common lease contracts includeagreements for leasing real estate and apartments, manufacturing and farming equipment, andconsumer goods such as automobiles, televisions, stereos, and appliances. Leases are governed by statutes and by Common Law, or precedential cases. Most leases aresubject to state laws, but leases involving the U. S. government are subject to federal laws. Generally, federal laws on leases are similar to state laws. A lease is created when a property owner (the offeror) makes an offer to another party (the offeree),and the offeree accepts the offer. The offer must authorize the offeree to possess and use propertyowned by the offeror for a certain period of time without gaining ownership. A lease must alsocontain consideration, which means that the offeree must give something of value to the offeror."

"text": "\"The Risks & Benefits of Triple-Net (NNN) Propertiesby Ray Alcorn One of the most popular property types in commercial real estate are \"\"triple net,\"\" also known as \"\"NNN\"\" deals. These are typically single-tenant retail properties leased to tenants with high credit ratings on \"\"net, net, net\"\" terms (hence the NNN acronym), meaning the tenant is responsible for real estate taxes, insurance, and all maintenance. At first glance these triple-net deals appear to be the perfect investment. They are typically new or nearly new, have no management responsibilities, a long-term lease to a quality tenant, stable cash flow, attractive financing, and the unique tax benefits only real estate provides. The advantages have fueled a tremendous growth in demand from investors on every level. They appeal to part-time investors looking for guaranteed income with no management responsibility, and they provide an attractive exit strategy for those with mature portfolios. As with any investment, there are many factors to consider in valuing and structuring the deal. First, like frozen food, you \"\"pay\"\" for the convenience of no management duties and stable, long-term income in the form of lower returns than with a more hands-on, high-maintenance project. Prices start in the range of a 6% cap rate for the highest rated tenants, up to perhaps 8.5% - 9% for lesser credit quality or those with short lease terms. [ Note: A cap rate is the percentage of return on the investment as if it were bought with all cash."

Interpreting IRR in a way that makes practical sense for investors and decision makers is a challenge. What is internal rate of return? Internal Rate of Return ( IRR) is a financial metric for cash flow analysis, primarily for evaluating investments, capital acquisitions, project proposals, programs, and business case scenarios. Like other cash flow metrics—NPV, Payback period, and ROI—the IRR metric takes an investment view of expected financial results. As a result, each of these financial metrics compares the magnitudes and timing of cash flow returns to cash flow costs, while each makes the comparison in its own way, and each carries a unique message about the value of the action. By definition, IRR compares returns to costs by by finding the interest rate that produces a zero NPV for the investment cash flow stream. Not surprisingly, interpreting IRR results in a way that makes practical sense for investors and decision makers is a challenge. IRR is All About a Cash Flow Stream IRR analysis begins with a cash flow stream, a series of net cash flow results expected from the investment (or action, acquisition, or business case scenario)."

There’s also the convenience of fueling at home and the superior driving experience of an electric drive train. But at some point, we have to think about the cost and thrifty consumers will start there. Doing the cost analysis for a gas car is pretty simple: look at the monthly payments, estimate your fuel cost based on how much you drive and the vehicle’s MPG, and add in the basic maintenance costs like oil changes. It’s not any more complex for an all-electric vehicle, but thinking in kilowatt-hours may be unfamiliar for most first-time EV buyers. It’s even a little simpler for an all-electric car since there are no oil changes and a lot of other regular gas-car maintenance goes away. For a plug-in hybrid, the situation is a little more complex, having to do both gas and electric calculations. Since many plug-in buyers are choosing to lease rather than purchase, I’ve developed a spreadsheet tool to help with the calculations. I picked some representative fuel-efficient vehicles, looked up the EPA ratings, and researched some current 3-year lease deals. As a set of affordable vehicles that buyers may be considering, I chose the Toyota Camry, Toyota Prius, Toyota Prius PHEV, Ford C-Max Energi, Chevy Volt, and Nissan LEAF."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages to Leasing a Car?e Bay 1 Like Like March 25, 2014Leasing a car is one popular way to get a ride without having to pay full price. Since the lessee only gets the use of the car for a few years, the monthly payments are lower than if buying the car new. A leased car fits much better into a monthly budget. But depending on what the would-be lessee wants, a car lease could end up being a bad deal overall. Deciding whether or not to lease a car involves looking at the entire financial package, including total payments and extra fees, as well as looking at what the lessee actually gets for his or her money. It is important that drivers know the advantages and disadvantages of leasing as well as an overview of all the ways a person can get access to a vehicle: buying, leasing, renting, and using a car-sharing service. If leasing is the right option, potential lessees should know how to lease a car and get a good rate. Leasing a car is neither right nor wrong across the board. Instead, leasing is a good option for some people and less optimal for others. It is up to the would-be lessee to decide whether leasing a car works for his or her situation and interests."

"text": "Auto Loan: New & Used Car Loan Options Most people today need a loan when they buy a new or used car and the high cost of many vehicles often means that consumers spend years paying off the auto loan. The average length of a car loan at the start of 2015 was 67 months, about five months longer than it was in 2010. The trend is going even longer with 30% of car loans now stretched between 72 and 84 months. The average amount financed in 2015 was $28,711 with average monthly payments of $485, a record high for both length of loan and amount financed. Types of Auto Loans Not all car loans are alike. The most common types of car loans include: Simple Interest Loans are the most common type of auto financing available. The interest rate is based on the outstanding balance of the loan. Borrowers can save on interest costs by paying more than their standard monthly payment. Pre-Computed Loans refer to financing where all interest and principal payments are pre-calculated before the borrower and lender agree and sign the paperwork. Although this loan was widely used in the past, most people don’t opt for this restrictive method of financing because it doesn’t allow for early repayment of the loan."

Successfully terminating the tenancy will depend upon the terms of the lease and the proper timing and service of the Notice of Non-renewal. Failure to non-renew properly can result in an unwanted extension of the tenancy. An improperly served or timed Notice of Non-renewal does not cure itself by the passage of time and thus becomes void to the tenant’s favor. Just as the tenant has a right to leave after the expiration of a lease, the landlord also has a right to make a tenant leave at the expiration of the lease. In this article, we will examine non-renewing a tenant at lease end and non-renewing the month-to-month tenant. NON-RENEWING A TENANT AT LEASE ENDDO YOU NEED A REASON TO NON-RENEW AT LEASE END? A landlord can non-renew a tenant for any reason or no reason at all, as long as the non-renewal is not based upon any illegal, discriminatory or retaliatory reason. A landlord is not required to provide the tenant with the reason for the non-renewal. It is imperative that if there is a reason for the non-renewal, that the landlord has this well documented in the landlord’s files."

Most car shoppers don't really understand how a lease works. Most assume it's similar to renting, but leasing is simply just another method of financing a vehicle.

Update: I'm using AT&T Broadband with a Linksys modem model WRT54GUpdate 2: Since I have a dynamic IP, can I change my IP by clicking Release, then Renew? Or can I change my IP by restarting my modem? Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: If AT&T gives you a dynamic IP address rather than a static IP address, then they use DHCP (Dynamic Control Host Protocol) to dole out IP addresses to different customers' connections. Your router requests an IP address from their DHCP server and it \"\"leases\"\" you an IP address for a period of time that they've configured. After a period of time determined by an algorithm too complex to describe here, your router requests to renew the lease, the DHCP server responds, and round and round we go. The DHCP Release gives up the lease on the IP address that you currently have assigned. After a DHCP release, your router has no IP address from AT&T. The DHCP Renew sends another request to the AT&T DHCP server for your DHCP lease and it assigns an IP to you again. Because of the way that DHCP works, it will probably assign the same one back to you if you do it right after the DHCP release and you don't let a lot of time pass."

You can depreciate both tangible property, such as a car, building, or machinery, and certain intangible property, such as a copyright or a patent. The amount you can deduct depends on: How much the property cost,When you began using it,How long it will take to recover your cost, and Which of several depreciation methods you use. Depreciation defined. Depreciation is a loss in the value of property over the time the property is being used. Events that can cause property to depreciate include wear and tear, age, deterioration, and obsolescence.

Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: When you rent out a property, you will need to decide if you wish to offer your tenants a lease or a rental agreement. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. A lease for a rental property has a finite term, such as six months or a year, for which a tenant will agree to rent the property. During this time period, also known as the duration of the lease, the tenant and the landlord are bound to uphold the terms of the written agreement. Having a lease means that neither party may change any terms of the agreement until the lease expires, unless both parties agree to the change. For example, if the current amount of rent is $500 per month, you may not increase this amount until the lease expires."

"text": "A paralegal or legal assistant is a trained person, often with certification from state or government agencies, who performs a variety of support jobs for supervising lawyers. The paralegal cannot give legal advice, represent people in court, or sign any legal documents, except in the capacity of a notary if the person has been certified. Most people train to become a paralegal through either two-year or four year degrees at the college level, and they must be gifted at secretarial work, legal research and writing in order to perform their jobs proficiently. There are many things that a legal assistant might do as employed by a lawyer or law firm. They can draft contracts, and most other legal documents, which are then reviewed by lawyers to be certain they conform specifically to the requirements of the client and the law. They also perform legal research, and may in the defense or prosecution of a person, do much of the research that will help support arguments in the court setting or in legal briefs. The legal assistant may also perform preliminary interviews of clients, and/or witnesses. One employed in the real estate field may be present at the closing of real estate sales. Since there are so many branches of law, a person in this position may be particularly versed in different branches. Through training, they come into the field ready to work in just about any area, but their own interests may further help assistants specialize in certain kinds of law."

Unlike a paralegal, legal document assistants do not work under the supervision of an attorney. A Legal Document Assistant is an American phenomenon created in response to the most strict licensing laws for attorneys in the world. The job was created by using the doctrine of pro se to enable someone to help another prepare a legal document. Except for Louisiana and Puerto Rico, in the United States only an attorney can advise and draft a legal document for another. With the self-help pro se concept and stock legal forms the Legal Document Preparer profession was born. The role of a Legal Document Assistant varies significantly across legal jurisdictions, and therefore can be treated here in only the most general terms.

If a person has a terminal diagnosis and chooses in their right mind to die, then their doctor, with a second opinion also required, may write a fatal prescription for that person who wants to die. There are some definite pros and cons to physician assisted suicide – let’s take a look. The Pros of Physician Assisted Suicide The main benefit of physician assisted suicide is that people are able to die in a way that is on their own terms instead of the terms of their disease. They can choose to be surrounded by family and friends, have their favorite music playing, and enjoy the sights and sounds of their chosen final moments. With plans in place, everyone can prepare for the final outcome and this makes the stages of grief easier to handle for everyone involved."

Knives like switchblades, spring-assisted knives, butterfly knives and others are legal in some states and illegal in others. Knife Laws of the 50 States Getting caught or crossing state lines with an illegal knife or switchblade can lead to serious consequences like fines or even jail time, so it’s important to know your state’s knife laws and the knife laws of any state you may travel to. It is important to remember that state laws are not always the same as the local or federal laws. Every state has its own law when it comes to carrying a switchblade and the only federal law is the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958 and the 2009 amendment to the act which applies to individuals who are traveling between states and internationally. To better understand each law, below are the 50 states along with their knife laws. Click here to see the FULL HD image!1.

"text": "Euthanasia, Assisted Suicide & Health Care Decisions – Part 1Euthanasia, Assisted Suicide & Health Care Decisions: Protecting Yourself & Your Family Table of Contents | Part 1 | Part 2by Rita L. Marker INTRODUCTIONThe words “euthanasia” and “assisted suicide” are often used interchangeably. However, they are different and, in the law, they are treated differently. In this report, “euthanasia” is defined as intentionally, knowingly and directly acting to cause the death of another person (e.g., giving a lethal injection). “ Assisted suicide” is defined as intentionally, knowingly and directly providing the means of death to another person so that the person can use that means to commit suicide (e.g., providing a prescription for a lethal dose of drugs). Part I of this report discusses the reasons used by activists to promote changes in the law; the contradictions that the actual proposals have with those reasons; and the logical progression that occurs when euthanasia and assisted suicide are transformed into medical treatments. It explores the failure of so-called safeguards and outlines the impact that euthanasia and assisted suicide have on families and society in general. Withholding and withdrawing medical treatment and care are not legally considered euthanasia or assisted suicide. Withholding or withdrawing food and fluids is considered acceptable removal of a “medical treatment. ”Part II of this report includes information about practical ways to protect oneself and loved ones during any time of incapacity and a discussion of some of the policies that have led to patients being denied care that they or their decision-makers have requested. It concludes with an examination of the ethical distinction between treatment and care."

"text": "What is a contract and when is it legally binding? Acontract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties and describes the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. Where a contract has been properly drafted and signed by the parties to the contract, and where the terms are clear and the contract is not for an illegal purpose, then it is likely that a Canadian court would consider the contract valid and enforceable. Only the parties to a contract can sue or be sued under the terms of that contract. Before you sign a contract1. Never sign a contract if you don’t understand it. 2. Before you sign a contract, consult your REALTOR®, your REALTORS®’ managing broker, and/or your lawyer for advice. As a general rule, Canadian courts expect that if you have signed a contract, you have agreed to it and you will therefore be bound by its terms. You may not be protected if you claim you did not understand what you were signing."

Introduction2. Five Conditions Often Proposed as Necessary for Candidacy for Voluntary Euthanasia3. A Moral Case for Voluntary Euthanasia4. Five Objections to the Moral Permissibility of Voluntary Euthanasia Bibliography Academic Tools Other Internet Resources Related Entries1. Introduction When a person carries out an act of euthanasia, she brings about the death of another person because she believes the latter's present existence is so bad that he would be better off dead, or believes that unless she intervenes and ends his life, his life will become so bad that he would be better off dead. Thus, the motive of the person who commits an act of euthanasia is to benefit the one whose death is brought about. ( This also holds for many instances of physician-assisted suicide, but some wish to restrict the use of the latter term to forms of assistance which stop short of the physician ‘bringing about the death’ of the patient, for example, those involving mechanical means that have to be activated by the patient. ) It is important to emphasize the motive of benefiting the person who is assisted to die because well-being is a key value in relation to the morality of euthanasia. Nonetheless, the defensibility of the contention that someone can be better off dead has been the subject of extensive philosophical deliberation."

"text": "by Ryan Goodman September 1, 2016US and UK support for Saudi-led military operations in Yemen have received significant attention recently due to reports of strikes that damaged or destroyed hospitals, schools, and other infrastructure vital to the civilian population. When international lawyers consider the rules that apply to such assistance, the so-called law of State responsibility consumes most, if not all, of the attention (see Miles Jackson and my accompanying post that does a deep dive into that area of law). Given the allegations that some Saudi-led coalition operations may amount to war crimes, it is relevant to consider another specific area of international law: the law of aiding and abetting war crimes. Importantly, as I explain below, that area of law is likely broader in its attribution of vicarious liability for assisting States than the law of State responsibility. It should be a centerpiece of any discussion of this topic. One clarification is necessary at the outset. In this analysis, I make no assessment of the alleged actions by the Saudi-led coalition or any reported instance of US or UK support. This post discusses the generally applicable legal framework that might apply. My discussion therefore also has relevance for all sorts of other situations as well, including reported Russian support related to the Syrian government’s alleged war crimes, reported Iranian support related to the Houthis’ alleged war crimes, and State support for terrorist organizations elsewhere. I. War crimes It is important to recall the mental state required for the commission of a war crime."

I had plenty of time to pass on the left but realized the car was going approximately 45 mph or slower. How much slower than the speed limit can you go without moving into the break-down lane or turning on your hazard lights? A: There are different answers for different scenarios, police say. “In King County there are no minimum speed limits posted on any of the state highways,” State Patrol trooper Dan Mc Donald said. Drivers cannot be ticketed specifically for driving too slowly unless there are minimum speed limit signs, he said. But drivers going too slowly can be cited for other violations – and the type of violation depends on speed in specific circumstances. For example, if someone is driving 40 to 45 mph on the right lane of the freeway and not holding up traffic, he said they likely won’t be ticketed. But if a driver is going that slow on in the left passing lane, they can be cited for failing to stay right except to pass, which is a $124 ticket. “Unless road conditions warrant slower speeds, if a motorist is traveling below the maximum speed limit they shall travel in the far right lane,” Mc Donald said. “"

"text": "Briefing Do you need a Data Protection Officer? Posted by: Owen O'Rorke | Date posted : 20/10/2016One of the areas of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which most exercised medium-sized organisations during consultation, and notably the schools sector, was the question of whether they would be caught by the new requirement for a mandatory Data Protection Officer (DPO). As a point of best practice – or frequently an organisational necessity – many schools already have a DPO (sometimes erroneously called a “data controller”), who more often than not is the bursar. However, although this role can already add considerably to the administrative burden of the individual (overseeing policy and training, dealing with subject access requests and breaches as they occur, etc. ), the more formalised notion of the DPO set out in the GDPR pushes the role to a higher operational level – and brings with it HR headaches. For clarity: while we are still awaiting secondary supporting legislation and statutory guidance on various issues (which is no doubt well down the list of priorities in the build-up to Brexit), the GDPR will almost certainly come into effect here on 25 May 2018 regardless of the referendum result. It is then likely to remain on the statute books even after the formalities of leaving the European Union, or be replaced in time by something of a similar standard. First, then, what are the expectations of the new DPO role?• The DPO must be “properly involved”, and indeed promptly involved, in all issues at the school related to the protection of personal data – from policy to dealing with requests from individuals. • There is a requirement for “expert knowledge of data protection law”. This, notably, is not a requirement of IT expertise (although that might help!)"

If convicted of DWI in Virginia, one of the many consequences is the successful completion of an alcohol safety action program (ASAP). In the vast majority of DWI convictions, successful completion of the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program is required in order to avoid serving suspended jail time. Active Time: must be served regardless completion of any court-ordered program, good behavior or payment of court costs and fines. Suspended Time: does not result in time in jail unless the court’s orders are violated. What happens if you or your loved one has been convicted of DWI and has received a suspended jail sentence contingent upon successful completion of VASAP? Does the court even have to mandate ASAP completion, or is it up to the judge?"

Coverage is provided either directly by the Federal OSHA or by an OSHA-approved state job safety and health plan. Federal OSHA also covers certain workers specifically excluded from a state plan, such as those in some states who work in maritime industries or on military bases. Workers at state and local government agencies are not covered by federal OSHA but are protected under the OSH Act if they work in states that have OSHA-approved state programs. States and territories may also develop plans that cover only public sector (state and local government) workers. The OSH Act established a separate program for federal government employees.

Their duties may include every aspect of this process, including creating a code of ethics, establishing penalties for violating ethical codes and educating employees about the organization’s ethical principles. They also help the company make changes to the code to reflect changes in business practices or public opinion. Ethics officers need a solid understanding of business practices, industry standards and law. Business Background Ethics officers often hold the title “Chief Ethics Officer,” and like other executive-level employees, they need a solid business background. They usually have at least an undergraduate degree in business, with many employers preferring an MBA. An ethics officer must understand basic business practices, because a company’s ethical standards influence everything it does. This includes a diverse array of subjects, including how it markets its products or services, how it treats its employees, what information it shares with the public and the impact it makes on its community and on natural resources. Legal Knowledge A company’s ethical code depends partly on state, federal and even international laws. An ethics officer needs a good understanding of the laws that apply to the industry and to the company."

"text": "Preparing for Your MSB Independent Review Posted on February 10, 2016 by Karen Schirmer 1336 0Money Services Businesses (MSBs) know that one of the four pillars of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) is to have its BSA/AML compliance program (hereinafter the “program”) tested periodically by a qualified, independent party. The BSA/AML independent review (the “review”) provides valuable feedback to the MSB about the state of its AML compliance program, and it is also a document that is requested as part of regulatory examinations and bank-partner oversight. The purpose of this article is to share insights from a reviewer’s perspective in order to help MSBs prepare for upcoming reviews. Keep in mind that these insights do not reflect observations from any one client, but rather are general observations that are cumulative over time. In the beginning…The FFIEC has provided guidance that says a review is “an evaluation of the overall adequacy and effectiveness of the BSA/AML compliance program including policies, procedures and processes.” It is the reviewer’s job to evaluate that the program is designed and implemented to meet the applicable BSA requirements and that the program is tailored to the MSB’s AML risk profile. Reviewers take this mandate seriously and use the time before, during and after their on-site review to gather as much information as possible to make copious observations, identify findings and make best practices recommendations. The initial request for documents provides a roadmap as to what will be reviewed and tested. In fact, much of the review takes place prior to the on-site component. Therefore, the company’s AML Compliance Officer should take the time to fully review and understand the entire request list and ask clarifying questions as necessary."

Can you synthesize and reconcile the world's leading laws, regulations and commentaries on the best practices an anti-bribery and anti-corruption compliance program? I recently saw one such approach by Paul Mc Nulty and Stephen Martin of the law firm, Baker and Mc Kenzie. They have developed what they term the five essential elements of a corporate compliance program. These five elements are based upon the best practices as set out in the seven elements of a corporate compliance program under the US Sentencing Guidelines; the 13 Good Practices by the OECD on Internal Controls, Ethics, and Compliance; the FCPA Guidance's Ten Hallmarks of Effective Compliance Program and the UK Bribery Act's Six Principles of an Adequate Procedures compliance program. The five elements are: Leadership Risk Assessment Standards and Controls Training and Communication Oversight I. Leadership The point means more than simply \"\"Tone-at-the-top\"\"; a successful compliance program must be built on a solid foundation of ethics that are fully and openly endorsed by senior management. There should be an unambiguous, visible and active commitment to compliance. But even more than support or the right tone, compliance standards require that companies must have high-ranking compliance officers with the authority and resources to manage the program on a day-to-day basis. And compliance officers must have the ear of those ultimately responsible for corporate conduct, including the board of directors. Some of the questions you might think about in connection with the leadership of your compliance program are the following: How is board oversight implemented?"

What is an AML Compliance Program required to have? The Bank Secrecy Act, among other things, requires financial institutions, including broker-dealers, to develop and implement AML compliance programs. Members are also governed by the anti-money laundering rule in FINRA Rule 3310. FINRA Rule 3310 sets forth minimum standards for broker-dealers' AML compliance programs. It requires firms to develop and implement a written AML compliance program. The program has to be approved in writing by a member of senior management and be reasonably designed to achieve and monitor the member's ongoing compliance with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act and the implementing regulations promulgated thereunder. Consistent with the Bank Secrecy Act, FINRA Rule 3310 also requires firms, at a minimum, to:establish and implement policies and procedures that can be reasonably expected to detect and cause the reporting of suspicious transactions;establish and implement policies, procedures, and internal controls reasonably designed to achieve compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and implementing regulations;provide for annual (on a calendar-year basis) independent testing for compliance to be conducted by member personnel or by a qualified outside party. If the firm does not execute transactions with customers or otherwise hold customer accounts or act as an introducing broker with respect to customer accounts (e.g. engages solely in proprietary trading or conducts business only with other broker-dealers), the independent testing is required every two years (on a calendar-year basis);designate and identify to FINRA (by name, title, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and facsimile number) an individual or individuals responsible for implementing and monitoring the day-to-day operations and internal controls of the program."

"text": "Filtering and the First Amendment When is it okay to block speech online? By Deborah Caldwell-Stone | April 2, 2013In the decade since the Supreme Court upheld the implementation of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), internet filtering has become a frequent practice in public libraries. It has also become the primary strategy for managing students’ internet access in school libraries. Debate over filtering became muted as libraries receiving e-rate funds moved to comply with CIPA’s mandates. While researchers counted the number of libraries and schools using filters, little inquiry was made into how institutions were implementing CIPA or how filtering was affecting library users. Recent court filings, news reports, and online posts, however, have begun to shine a spotlight on libraries’ filtering policies and practices. According to legal complaints, some libraries are denying users access to websites that discuss Wicca and Native American spirituality; blacklisting websites that affirm the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities while whitelisting sites that advocate against gay rights and promote “ex-gay” ministries; and refusing to unblock webpages that deal with youth tobacco use, art galleries, blogs, and firearms. School librarians, teachers, and even Department of Education officials are openly complaining that the overzealous blocking of online information in schools is impairing the educational process. Why are we seeing more and more instances where public libraries and schools are actively engaged in censoring online information, despite the library profession’s commitment to intellectual freedom, First Amendment rights, and free and open access to information? Often, it is because the institutions and individuals responsible for implementing these policies misunderstand or misinterpret CIPA and the Supreme Court decision upholding the law."

If workflows are available, you can start an Approval workflow directly from a document or item in a list or library. To start a workflow, you select the workflow that you want to use, and then you fill out a workflow initiation form that specifies the workflow participants (approvers), a due date, and any relevant task instructions. After a workflow starts, the server assigns tasks to all participants. If e-mail alerts are enabled for the server, the server also sends e-mail alerts to all participants."

Introduction Welcome to the wonderful world of annotated bibliographies! You’re probably already familiar with the need to provide bibliographies, reference pages, and works cited lists to credit your sources when you do a research paper. An annotated bibliography includes descriptions and explanations of your listed sources beyond the basic citation information you usually provide. Why do an annotated bibliography? One of the reasons behind citing sources and compiling a general bibliography is so that you can prove you have done some valid research to back up your argument and claims. Readers can refer to a citation in your bibliography and then go look up the material themselves. When inspired by your text or your argument, interested researchers can access your resources. They may wish to double check a claim or interpretation you’ve made, or they may simply wish to continue researching according to their interests. But think about it: even though a bibliography provides a list of research sources of all types that includes publishing information, how much does that really tell a researcher or reader about the sources themselves?"

A: A barcode symbology is simply a visual arrangement of bars and spaces that represents numbers, letters or punctuation marks. There are a number of barcode symbologies, including Code 39 (Code 3 of 9), Follet classic, and Codabar, all of which are popular in libraries. Learn more about barcodes. Q: How does a scanner work? A: The basic operation of a scanner is to scan a barcode symbol and provide an electrical output that corresponds to the bars and spaces of a bar code. In the past, scanners required decoder boxes that would interpret the scanned information and send the data to the computer. Today, we suggest scanners that include decoding functionality and send the correct data directly to the computer. Q: What is Codabar? A: Codabar is a barcode symbology commonly found in libraries."

Why is professional development for public librarians important? We live in a time of exponential change. Not only are electronic technologies proliferating at an unprecedented rate, but the population of New York is growing continually more diverse. These changes have transformed, and continue to transform, library services and the skills necessary to deliver them. New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds need the help and guidance of a skilled, diverse library workforce to make full use of library resources. The New York Library Association (NYLA) and the Board of Regents recognize that librarians and library staff need continual training to stay current with these developments in information technology.2. How does this benefit the library profession and library services in New York State? Studies show that one of the major predictors of success for public libraries is having an informed and knowledgeable librarian. Requiring professional development for certified public librarians benefits librarians, local libraries, library customers, and local communities."

With type 1 diabetes, your pancreas does not make insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Without insulin, too much glucose stays in your blood. Over time, high blood glucose can lead to serious problems with your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and gums and teeth. Type 1 diabetes happens most often in children and young adults but can appear at any age. Symptoms may include Being very thirsty Urinating often Feeling very hungry or tired Losing weight without trying Having sores that heal slowly Having dry, itchy skin Losing the feeling in your feet or having tingling in your feet Having blurry eyesight A blood test can show if you have diabetes. If you do, you will need to take insulin for the rest of your life. A blood test called the A1C can check to see how well you are managing your diabetes.

You want to build Share Point solutions that improve the productivity and efficiency of your organization, but you don’t want to write code. Where do you start? With Microsoft Share Point Designer 2010, you can design no-code workflow solutions that manage simple to more complex business processes in an organization. Workflows add logic to both system and human processes. Workflows for system processes might update one data source when another data source changes. Workflows for human processes might send a document, such as an expense report, to an employee's manager for approval and, if approved, on to the accounting department for processing. This is made possible by the powerful yet intuitive workflow editor in Share Point Designer 2010 that allows nested logic, substeps, and more. For example, if your workflow is associated to a document library or if it is filtered to the Document content type, a group of contextual Document Set actions appear. A document set is a new feature in Share Point Server 2010 whereby a group of documents are treated as a single unit, so a workflow action for a document set will iterate on all items in that document set."

"text": "\"What Is Evaluation Research? Evaluation research is not easily defined. There is not even unanimity regarding its name; it is referred to as evaluation research and evaluative research. Some individuals consider evaluation research to be a specific research method; others focus on special techniques unique, more often [End Page 102] than not, to program evaluation; and yet others view it as a research activity that employs standard research methods for evaluative purposes. Consistent with the last perspective, Childers concludes, \"\"The differences between evaluative research and other research center on the orientation of the research and not on the methods employed\"\" (1989, p. 251). When evaluation research is treated as a research method, it is likely to be seen as a type of applied or action research, not as basic or theoretical research. Weiss, in her standard textbook, defines evaluation as \"\"the systematic assessment of the operation and/or the outcomes of a program or policy, compared to a set of explicit or implicit standards, as a means of contributing to the improvement of the program or policy\"\" (1998, p. 4; emphasis in original). While certainly not incorrect, this definition, at least within a library and information (LIS) context, is too narrow or limited. Wallace and Van Fleet, for example, point out that \"\"evaluation has to do with understanding library systems\"\" (2001, p. 1). As will be noted later in this article, evaluative methods are used for everything from evaluating library collections to reference transactions."

They are little objects floating within the gel-like substance of your eyeballs and it is not directly these items that you are discovering, however shadows. The solution like substance filling up our eyeballs is called vitreous body, or vitreous gel, vitreous humor, sometimes only vitreous. It contains water mostly – 00% – and the remainder is mix of salts, sugars, protein, vitrosin ( a sort of collagen), acids, etc. With age group the gelatinous substance seems to lose its smooth and little parts of the gel break off and start going cycling within the center of the vitreous body. Although this may not be the only possible reason for floaters to occur. As the vitreous body shrinks and will lose fluid with age, it could disconnect from the retina and start floating around within the eyeball, and cause shadows on the retina. Actually this is a very common disorder. IT is called PVD – posterior vitreous distance. It’s painless and not dangerous in the the greater part of cases."

"text": "\"What Causes Light Flashes in the Eye?by SHARON PERKINS Aug. 14, 2017Many conditions cause light flashes in the eye, known medically as photopsia. Seeing phantom light flashes is sometimes harmless, but this symptom might signal a serious disorder requiring urgent medical treatment. Photopsia most commonly originates within the eye itself, but can also occur due to disorders affecting visual nerve pathways in the brain. See you doctor if you experience light flashes to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, if needed. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Harmless Flashes An occasional light flash in the eye can occur in healthy people without eye or medical problems. Most people discover during childhood that pressing or rubbing the eyes often elicits the appearance of sparkling or flashing lights, colors and shapes. This occurs because pressure on the eye mechanically stimulates the nerves of the retina, the vision-perceiving area at the back of the eye. Some people also experience brief photopsia with rapid eye movements. In an otherwise healthy young adult, these light flashes are typically harmless and rarely indicate an underlying eye or medical disorder.

These particles are most effective in scattering the higher frequency and shorter wavelength portions of the visible light spectrum. This scattering process involves the absorption of a light wave by an atom followed by reemission of a light wave in a variety of directions. The amount of multidirectional scattering that occurs is dependent upon the frequency of the light. ... So as white light.. from the sun passes through our atmosphere, the high frequencies become scattered by atmospheric particles while the lower frequencies are most likely to pass through the atmosphere without a significant alteration in their direction. This scattering of the higher frequencies of light illuminates the skies with light on the BIV end of the visible spectrum. Compared to blue light, violet light is most easily scattered by atmospheric particles. However, our eyes are more sensitive to light with blue frequencies."

As soon as light enters the water, it interacts with the water molecules and suspended particles to cause loss of light, colour changes, diffusion, loss of contrast and other effects. A photo taken under water at one metre distance is not unlike a telephoto above water at 800 metres distance, both looking bluish while lacking contrast. The way light changes under water is responsible for the typical under water 'atmosphere' and it offers creative possibilities not found on land. This chapter shows how light changes as it enters the water. It also discusses techniques to reduce unwanted scatter in photographs and how to restore colour.surface effects The shape of the water is decisive on how the light passes through it. Crinkle patterns and cathedral light. Snell's circle.scatter and diffusion The way light diffuses as it interacts with matter, depends on the size of the particles.

"text": "Can Eyes Get Sunburned? Although exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun or artificial sources, like a tanning bed, can be damaging to your vision, your eyes do not get sunburned the same way your skin does. They will not turn pink or red, or become a darker color. When eyes are sunburned, this usually means that the retina (the layer in the back of the eye that is very sensitive to light) or that the cornea (the colored part of your eye) has been damaged. Have you ever looked directly at the sun? The way you most likely react to the bright light is by squinting your eyes or shielding them with your hand. It definitely isn’t a comfortable feeling! In a sense, the UV rays hurt your eyes so much that you do not want to stare at the sun for too long, which is something that you shouldn’t do anyway. If you damage your retina, you could impair your vision or even become blind. How Light Affects Your Eyesight The term used to describe eyes that have been damaged by natural or artificial UV rays is called “photokeratitis.”"

They cannot always answer medical questions, and are not always able to be patient and cooperative during a medical examination. Pediatric ophthalmologists know how to examine and treat children in a way that makes them relaxed and cooperative. In addition, pediatric ophthalmologists use equipment specially designed for children. Most pediatric ophthalmologists’ offices are arranged and decorated with children in mind.

In dreams, lightning is a symbol of a terrible event and negativity. A thunderbolt is a traditional expression for a discharge of lightning or a symbolic representation thereof. In its original usage the word may also have been a description of meteors, although this is not currently the case. As a divine manifestation it has been a powerful symbol throughout history, and has appeared in many mythologies. Drawing from this powerful association, the thunderbolt is often found in military symbolism and semiotic representations of electricity. . Lightning plays a role in many mythologies, often as the weapon of a sky and storm god. As such, it is an unsurpassed method of dramatic instantaneous retributive destruction: thunderbolts as divine weapons can be found in most mythologies."

As I got older, fear gave way (partially) to curiosity. How did the lightning work? I had heard that the flash of lightning happened when two clouds bumped together. But even at a tender and impressionable age, that explanation seemed pretty silly. During most lightning storms the sky was completely covered with clouds, and I never saw lightning when there were only individual clouds in the sky. Something else was at work here. To understand lightning I had to learn about the nature of electricity: what it is, and how it moves. I found out that everything in the world is made of electricity and that electrical forces are responsible for holding things together--and sometimes for pushing them apart. Everything is made of atoms that are, in turn, made out of charged particles."

After the second defeat of Shinnok, he ascended to the status of Elder God. Being a god, he possesses many supernatural abilities, such as the ability to teleport, control lightning and fly. As a god, he is used to thinking in terms of eternity rather than normal human lifespans, and so he has a radically different outlook on life. This is not to say he is incapable of understanding human values and psyches. Appearance Although being formless and ethereal, Raiden often takes form on mortal planes. As such, he appears as a fully-grown man wearing predominately white robes and a blue vest, his face usually shadowed by a straw hat."

I know that they use some sort of electrical device when doing inventory of fish populations. They shock the fish without killing them and eventually release them.

It is not really known how far the electrical current travels when a bolt of lightning actually does strike the ocean but many fish do go belly up. Kyle · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Scientists have not found dead fish or other animals in the ocean after a lightning strike, BUT the water does conduct the electrical current from the lightning. They speculate that the electrical current is weakened because it spreads out across the wide area of the ocean, and the surface temperature isn't warm enough to create a significant amount of electricity as one might think."

I f you've ever sat watching a thunderstorm, with mighty lightning bolts darting down from the sky, you'll have some idea of the power of electricity . A bolt of lightning is a sudden, massive surge of electricity between the sky and the ground beneath. The energy in a single lightning bolt is enough to light 100 powerful lamps for a whole day or to make a couple of hundred thousand slices of toast!Electricity is the most versatile energy source that we have; it is also one of the newest: homes and businesses have been using it for not much more than a hundred years. Electricity has played a vital part of our past. But it could play a different role in our future, with many more buildings generating their own renewable electric power using solar cells and wind turbines. Let's take a closer look at electricity and find out how it works!What is electricity? Electricity is a type of energy that can build up in one place or flow from one place to another. When electricity gathers in one place it is known as static electricity (the word static means something that does not move); electricity that moves from one place to another is called current electricity."

"title": "http://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/limitorder.asp\nWhat is a 'Limit Order'",
"text": "\"Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is a 'Limit Order'A limit order is a take-profit order placed with a bank or brokerage to buy or sell a set amount of a financial instrument at a specified price or better; because a limit order is not a market order, it may not be executed if the price set by the investor cannot be met during the period of time in which the order is left open. Limit orders also allow an investor to limit the length of time an order can be outstanding before being canceled. Next Up Immediate Or Cancel Order - IOCDay Order Order Bracketed Buy Order BREAKING DOWN 'Limit Order'While the execution of a limit order is not guaranteed, it does ensure that the investor does not miss the opportunity to buy or sell at the target price point if it is dealt in the market. Depending on the direction of the position, a limit order is sometimes referred to as a buy limit order or a sell limit order. For example, a buy limit order that stipulates the buyer is not willing to pay more than $30 per share, while a sell limit order may require the share price to be at least $30 for the sale to take place. Stop Loss A stop loss order is the opposite of a take profit order: It is left to ensure that a transaction does not take place at a price worse than the indicated target. It can be used to sell an existing instrument or to enter into a new transaction. Conditional Orders Limit orders can have specific conditions added to them. An investor may indicate that the order must be executed immediately or canceled, which is called a fill or kill (FOK) order. They may also require that all desired shares be bought or sold at the same time if the trade is to be executed, which is called an all or none order."

If I had to define a stop loss order, it’s just that, a protective order which stops you from losing more money than you would like.

When you think of a stop loss order, you should get a visual of a defeated soldier waving a white flag on the battle field. It is a complete concession that your original plan was wrong.

"text": "\"Home Consumer Zone > Buyer's Guide to Fine Wristwatches Buyer's Guide to Fine Wristwatches What is the point of spending so much money on a watch? There has long been elegance and prestige associated with a fine watch made with precious metals and jewels. Originally, finely crafted, precision mechanical timepieces also served a serious need in accurate timekeeping needed to facilitate travel and communications across moderate to significant distances. But now, technology has made it possible to have an accurate wristwatch as the free toy in a fast-food kid's meal. Yet the aspects of watches as fine functional jewelry with poetic and nostalgic ties to their origins remain. I'm sure others can better describe and explain the value people find in owning and wearing fine jewelry. What it really boils down to is this: any wristwatch over US $200 is more jewelry than a timepiece. So forget about evaluating such items by adding up the cost of components, factoring in the value of precious metals or imagining some supreme value hidden in the mechanism inside. That takes you on a slippery slope to the insanity of people who argue over technical specifications they don't truly understand, trying to intellectually justify wristwatch values for technical and logical reasons that hold little, if any, tangible merit or benefit. Since an inexpensive quartz watch will look fine on your wrist and tell you the time accurately, there is no real functional value to paying more for a watch."

There are always going to be people who have put in a price to buy a stock (called a bid price) and people who have put in a price to sell a stock (called an ask price). Based on your example, if the last trade price for the stock was $1.23, then you might have the following bid prices and ask prices:bid: 50 shares at $1.20bid: 20 shares at $1.21bid: 30 shares at $1.22ask: 40 shares at $1.23ask: 15 shares at $1.24ask: 45 shares at $1.25So if you put in a limit order to buy 100 shares at $100, you would buy the 40 shares at $1.23, the 15 shares at $1.24, and the 45 shares $1.25."

Individuals typically buy and sell shares by using a licensed brokerage firm or broker who makes the actual trade. Historically, stockbrokers were hired only by wealthy individuals and families, but today a wide range of stock brokerages exist for all price ranges. So-called “full-service” brokers offer a suite of research, opinion, and expert advice and can offer a personal relationship between the broker and the client. For more budget conscious clients, discount brokerages exist that offer a much more bare-bones service offering, in some cases simply executing purchases and sales. Over the past two decades, electronic trading has grown significantly, with many online brokerages offering both research and opinion as well as trades at low prices, some asking as little as $5 or less per trade in commission. ( See also: How To Choose Your First Stock Broker . ) Regardless of the type of brokerage used, the mechanics of buying or selling shares is fairly uniform. First, a stock quote is obtained."

The lowest ask price from sellers is $16.00. The market maker or specialist buys it from you at that price, hoping to sell it to someone else for at least $16.25. That $0.25 difference between the two prices is the amount the market maker pockets in return for taking the risk of buying the security without knowing with certainty what price she will realistically be able to sell it for. Fortunately for that market maker or specialist, I offer to buy the stock at the \"\"market price.\"\" The market maker looks around and sees that the highest price currently being \"\"bid\"\" by others who are specifying a purchase price is $16.25 so she sells it to me for $16.25. It seems to say that a market maker buys at the ask price, and sells at the bid price. But what I have understood before is contrary to the quote: a market maker buys at the bid price, which is the highest price of those prices at which each market maker is willing to buy, and a market maker sells at the ask price, which is the lowest price of those prices at which each market maker is willing to sell. So I wonder whether a market maker sell (or buy) at a bid or ask price?"

This 13.27 is not related to teh quantity 1000 in the way you interpret. Probably since the last trade at 13.22, some positive news came up and the seller is now demaning more.

"text": "\"FREE Stock Reports Sample our ASX share tips & strategies First Name Email How to Buy Shares in Australia The process of buying and selling shares in Australia is actually rather simple. These days the hardest part is setting up the trading account with your broker. In the past, you could setup an account over the phone and start trading immediately. Now, application forms can be 20+ pages and the terminology confusing for many. Before I go through the steps on how to purchase ASX shares, it is important that every new share investor asks themselves this question. Why do you want to buy shares? If it's to make \"\"a quick buck\"\" then you're looking in the wrong direction. People forget that buying stock in a company means you are actually buying a PART of that company. It's just the same as owning part of the local grocery store. By looking at every investment in this way, it forces you to step back and re-evaluate whether you are buying for the right reasons."

"text": "\"Stock Order Types: Getting to Know the Basics By Randy Frederick Key Points Stock order types can have a significant impact on the time, price and manner of your transactions. Orders are affected by three main factors: time in force, qualifiers and types. Learn more about order types by reviewing some examples. During volatile market environments, prices tend to move faster and bid/ask spreads typically widen—so it’s critical to understand and use the appropriate order types to help control your trade’s price, timing, and manner of execution. While many market factors are beyond your control, if you have a clear understanding of how the order you place will be received in the marketplace, you will be much more likely to get the results you desire. Here are some stock order basics: Order types These are guidelines that modify the execution conditions of an order based on volume, time and price constraints. A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the best possible price available at the time the order is received in the marketplace. A market order for a New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ listed stock will generally be filled at or close to the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO). The NBBO is a term that refers to the best available bid price when their customers sell securities and the best available ask price when they buy securities. While orders will always be filled within the NBBO, i t is important to remember that factors such as the size of your order, significant news reports and rapidly changing market prices can result in execution at a price that may not appear to have been within the NBBO."

By Schwab Trading Insights About to pull the trigger on a trade, but confused about which order type to use? You're not alone—an often-overlooked yet fundamental aspect of trading is selecting the appropriate order type. When placing an order, it helps to think of each order type as a different tool, each suited to its own purpose. So just as a hammer, screwdriver, or wrench may be your tool of choice for a given construction job, each order type has its own function. Here, we'll focus on three main types of orders: market, limit and stop. As you consider which order type you'll need, first ask yourself two basic questions: Am I trying to buy or sell? What price do I want—the current price, a higher price, or a lower price?1) Market orders: Do it now A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the best available price. Keep in mind that a market order guarantees execution but does not guarantee a particular price."

You can also buy shares through a prospectus when they are first put on the market or indirectly through a managed fund. Another way to buy shares is through an employee share scheme. Buying shares on a share exchange Using a broker Buying shares in a float Buying shares via a managed fund Buying shares via an employee share scheme Selling your shares Types of orders Buying shares on a share exchange There are five public share exchanges in Australia. Four of them directly supervise the companies that issue the shares that trade on their markets. The fifth exchange, Chi-X, currently only provides the infrastructure for trading shares already quoted on the ASX. The five exchanges are: Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) - the main securities exchange in Australia Chi-X - an exchange that trades company shares already quoted on the ASX, but does not list or supervise the companies National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSXA) - a securities exchange that lists about 70 small to medium sized companies SIM Venture Securities Exchange (SIM VSE) - an exchange for innovative companies involved in the clean technology, renewable energy and bio science field Asia Pacific Stock Exchange (APX) - a securities exchange with a focus on growth oriented companies from the Asia-Pacific region Video: Scott Pape's investing in shares money challenge Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

Buying shares on the ASX or Chi-XWhile Chi-X commenced on 31 October 2011, your broker may continue to buy ASX-quoted shares only on the ASX until 1 March 2013. After that date your broker must consider whether they can achieve a better outcome for you by trading on Chi-X. As there are now two markets to choose from when you trade ASX-quoted shares, once your broker joins and trades on Chi-X they must provide the best execution for your trade across both markets, in terms of best outcome (e.g. price)."

Tuxedo rental includes a professional measurement and fitting, as well as pressing, cleaning and overnight use of the tuxedo. Wondering the price to be a sharp-dressed man? Here’s the skinny. Tuxedo rental vs. buying Tuxedo rental is usually the best option for your budget, since sizes and styles change, and they tend to be special occasion attire. Also, if someone chooses you to be in their wedding party, they typically want you to rent a tux that matches the rest of the group. However, the Men’s Wearhouse website says if you expect to wear a tuxedo more than two or three times in the next few years, it might be more economical to buy your own tuxedo.

"text": "How Much Does It Cost To Transport Wedding Guests From The Hotel? If you have a lot of guests coming from out of town, you will need a way to transport them to the wedding venue. Transporting people together saves guests from the cost of a cab (or renting a car) and it also alleviates the question of who will be the designated driver. Guests can be transported to and from the hotel without having to worry about the risks of drinking and driving. While the gesture of providing transportation for wedding guests is a nice thought, the cost can sometimes be prohibitive. In this article, we will go over all the transportation options for wedding guests along with a way to get the hotel to provide transportation for free. Let’s start with the best option, the hotel shuttle. Hotel Shuttle If you are blocking hotel rooms for wedding guests, then the hotel may provide complimentary shuttle service to nearby wedding venues. While the shuttle is usually smaller in size (7-15 passenger van), it suffices most weddings. If you don’t know which hotels provide complimentary shuttle service, then either ask your wedding venue or fill out this group hotel rates booking request form."

Many visitors going to Vegas come from Los Angeles, which is why we have put together our guide to traveling to Vegas from LA by car, plane, bus, shuttle, or limo and even discuss train travel. You will also find information about airlines, free ride offers, things to watch out for, and other travel tips. Driving to Las Vegas It is 264 miles traveling the highways from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. In between these two cities are miles of desert, attractive scenery, an old fashioned ghost town, fast food restaurants, historic route 66, an outlet shopping mall and some hotels along the way – Whiskey Pete’s , Buffalo Bills , Primm Valley, and South Point. Following all of the posted speed limits, the drive will take almost 4 hours. However, if you leave during very busy times, like major holidays, the drive time could easily double. There are also speed traps if you’re not careful. ( I got my speeding ticket just outside of Baker, California). It is suggested that you allow 5 to 6 hours for the trip, so you can stop, stretch your legs and have a little fun along the way."

The purpose of getting a limo service is the overall comfort for the people who be using the limo. Remember that the number of people that can fit into a stretched limo depends on the style and size of the limousine chosen. If there is not enough room inside the limousine, all of the passengers would experience difficulty during the entire trip. Nowadays, there are a lot of types and models of stretched limousines available. The smallest stretched limos can normally carry up to six passengers and the driver. This type of limousines typically follows a basic seating pattern: two seats that are directly behind the compartment, two seats on the side of the limo, and two seats at the back of the limo. You can sit an additional person in the driver’s compartment in the front of the car. However, this is usually not desirable. Located at the side of the limo that is not used for seating typically is the bar area and audio/visual system."

As you can see from that definition, there are two main categories of verbs: action verbs and state of being verbs (also known as linking verbs ). Because action verbs and linking verbs are strong enough to be used in sentences all by themselves, they are called main verbs. I love cheese. I turned the page. ( action verbs)I am a teacher.

"text": "Home English Grammar Rules & Usage Verbs Helping Verbs Helping Verbs5th grade 6th grade 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade 10th grade 11th grade 12th grade Middle School High School College Helping verbs are verbs that help the main verb in a sentence by extending its meaning. They can also add detail to how time is conveyed in a sentence. As a result, helping verbs are used to create the most complicated verb tenses in English: the progressive and the perfect aspects. These verbs also function to convey complicated shades of meaning like expectation, permission, probability, potential, obligation, and direction. Types of Helping Verbs Helping verbs are important since they are needed to make up the structure of a sentence. They are used to help the main verb. There are two types of verbs that can be used as helping verbs in English: auxiliary and modal. Auxiliary Verbs: Helping verbs that add meaning to the clause where they are being used are called auxiliary verbs (note that the terms helping verb and auxiliary verb are often interchangeable). They are used to express tense or to add emphasis. The three common auxiliary verbs have multiple forms: To be: am, is, are, was, were, be, been To have: have, has, had To do: do, does, did Be, do, and have can be either standalone or auxiliary verbs."

"text": "Education Language Arts Grammar How to Find the Subject of a Sentence How to Find the Subject of a Sentence Related Book English Grammar For Dummies, 2nd Edition By Geraldine Woods English grammar teachers like to torture students by asking them to find the subjects of sentences. But why does it matter whether you can find the subject of a sentence? Well, all sentences contain verbs that express action or state of being. But you can’t have an action in a vacuum. You can’t have a naked, solitary state of being either. Someone or something must also be present in the sentence — the who or what you’re talking about in relation to the action or state of being expressed by the verb. The someone or something doing the action or being talked about is the subject. A someone must be a person and a something must be a thing, place, or idea. So guess what? The subject is usually a noun because a noun is a person, place, thing, or idea."

A gerund is the “-ing” form of a verb when it functions grammatically as a noun in a sentence. Gerunds are identical in appearance to present participles, but they are not used to form tenses of the verb or provide adjectival information. Gerunds can either stand alone, or they can take a noun (the object of the gerund) and/or modifier (s) to form a gerund phrase. Functions in a sentence Because they act like nouns, gerunds can be used as the subject of a sentence, the subject complement of the linking verb be, the object of a preposition, or the object of a verb. They can also be used to form compound nouns. As the subject Just like a normal noun, a gerund or gerund phrase can be the subject of a sentence. For example:“ Swimming is an excellent form of exercise!” ( gerund only)“ Eating vegetables gives you a lot of extra energy.” ( gerund + object)“ Studying too hastily will result in a poor grade.” ("

"text": "A quick Google search for “resume action verbs” brings up thousands of lists. But what are action verbs? And why are they so important? In terms of grammar, so-called “action” verbs are no different from any other verbs. English has “strong” (or irregular, as in get/got) and “weak” (or regular, as in walk/walked ) verbs like many other European languages. However, strong verbs aren’t the same thing as action verbs. We also have active and passive voice, which sometimes gets mixed up in discussions of action verbs. In active voice, the subject of the sentence does the action, as in the sentence “The girl pitched the baseball.” Most of us write in active voice the majority of the time. In passive voice, the roles are reversed: the action is done to subject."

There are two competing notions of the predicate in theories of grammar. [ 2] The competition between these two concepts has generated confusion concerning the use of the term predicate in theories of grammar. This article considers both of these notions. The first concerns traditional grammar, which tends to view a predicate as one of two main parts of a sentence, the other part being the subject; the purpose of the predicate is to complete an idea about the subject, such as what it does or what it is like. The second notion was derived from work in predicate calculus ( predicate logic, first order logic) and is prominent in modern theories of syntax and grammar. In this approach, the predicate of a sentence mostly corresponds to the main verb and any auxiliaries that accompany the main verb; whereas the arguments of that predicate (e.g. the subject and object noun phrases) are outside the predicate.

Lions once roamed the southern reaches of Europe. The influence of the power of the Lion's symbolism can be seen in it's representation in both Chinese and Japanese art and mythology, both cultures beyond it's range. The Lion was often used as a symbol of Royalty, as in many cultures it was considered the \"\"King of the Beasts\"\". In early Christianity, as Jesus was seen to be the \"\"King of Kings\"\", he was often represented by a Lion, and a Lion was the symbol of St. Mark. The Lion is mentioned many times in the Bible and the time when a Lion lays with a Lamb is seen as the dawning of a New Age. The Lion or Leo, is one of the twelve signs of the Zodiac and represents the Sun. Stone lions can be found in temples and important architectural buildings encompassing the Mediterranean, from Assyria and Egypt, to Babylonia, from Greece to Rome. In African cultures the Lion was a powerful symbol in many Creation Myths, as both Creator and Destructor, and in some cultures the Lion figured prominently in rites of passages to becoming a man and full-fledged warrior. To kill a lion single-handedly was the height of prowess for a hunter."

It worked – and, for that matter, still works – essentially like a doorbell, with two coils of wire wrapped around an iron core, two points, and a bar across the top that plunges down when power is applied to the coils, breaking the circuit, then springs back up again to recommence the cycle. Imagine a sewing machine, without the thread.

"text": "\"Tattoo Meanings Old-school tattoos are rooted in the American serviceman’s interpretation of traditions and symbols that go back thousands of years. Every tattoo or ‘Flash’ is a personal statement but there are certain common meanings. Here are a few of our favorite Tattoo Meanings. SWALLOW TATTOOSIn addition to indicating that a sailor had sailed 5000 miles, swallow tattoos are also associated with the idea of return. This \"\"return\"\" symbolism is rooted in two ideas. The first was the swallow's famous migration pattern, always returning home to San Juan Capistrano. Second, it was believed that if a sailor dies at sea, birds carry his soul home to heaven. ANCHOR TATTOOSAt sea, the anchor is the most secure object in a sailor's life, making it the perfect representation of stability. This is why you'll often see anchor tattoos emblazoned with \"\"Mom\"\" or the name of a sailor's sweetheart (the people who keep them grounded). Anchors have become popular within general tattoo culture over the years, but the symbolism is still the same."

He was sure that Siddhartha would attain 'supreme knowledge', that is, become a Buddha. Married at sixteen, the young prince resided in the royal court of his father until he was in his late twenties, when his wife bore him a son. Up until this time, Siddhartha had lived a protected existence within palace walls, but he began to take notice of the general population and their lowly state of poverty, sickness, and ultimately, death. He saw the truth behind human existence - and was shocked - at how little control people had over their fates. Siddhartha left the palace, left his family behind, and became a wandering ascetic and disciple of various Hindu teachers. He even attracted a few disciples himself. But after years of searching and self-denial, he became disillusioned by the path he was on, and gave up the ascetic life. Consequently, his disciples gave up on him, yet Siddartha kept meditating. The year was 528 BC, and the place was under the Bodhi tree in northern India, when Siddhartha experienced his 'awakening'."

"text": "125 Impressive Japanese Tattoos with History & Meaning Tattoos By Mark Hughman Pin It Tweet The Japanese tattoo style has far reaching influence up until today even if its long and glorious history dates back ages ago. Japanese tattoo artists began their craft back in the Yayoi period (c. 300 BC–300 AD). Back then, Japanese tattoos were associated with spirituality and status symbol, identifying the master from the slave. However, in the Kofun period (300 –600 AD), things changed and tattoos began to have a negative connotation since they were used as marks for criminals. An indigenous population of Japan, the Ainus, who have lived in Japan for thousands of years, also used to have tattoos on their arms, mouth and even in their foreheads occasionally, which primarily influenced Japanese tattoo activity. This is because they have integrated with and penetrated modern Japanese civilization. The traditional tattoo images handed from this past generation are “images of the floating world” (called ukiyo-e in the Japanese language). These are wood-block prints produced by the most influential ukiyoe artists like Kuniyoshi. Kuniyoshi is also the creator of the masterful Suikoden illustration. The illustrated story contained 108 Chinese corrupt rulers who were marked with tattoos."

For anyone enamored with Egyptian culture, an Egyptian tattoo is a must – and we’ve found some of the best. Egyptian tattoos are beautiful representations of power and prestige. They speak to days of old when pharaohs ruled the land and gods and goddesses were put on high pedestals. It was a different age but the markings have followed people through the generations.

Share it!8 23 2 1548Shares Japanese tattoos are one of the most popular styles in tattoo art, but were you aware that every image used in Japanese tattoos has a meaning and purpose? Japanese tattoo meaning has added a depth to the art that has helped Japanese tattooing persist for so long and increased its appeal to so many outside of Japanese culture. If you’re thinking about getting a Japanese tattoo, then we recommend reading this guide to get acquainted with the meaning of traditional Japanese tattoos. There’s a lot to learn and if you’re going to put something on your body that lasts forever, you should at least understand what it means. A Brief History of Japanese Tattoos Traditionally, Japanese tattoos began as a means of conveying societal status as well as serving as spiritual symbols that were often used as a sort of charm for protection as well as symbolizing devotion, not unlike modern religious tattoos. Over time, tattoos in Japanese culture developed as a form of punishment similar to what was seen in Rome where it was common practice to tattoo prisoners of war, criminals, and slaves as a means of making their status in society instantly recognizable. Eventually the practice faded and tattoos returned as a status symbol among the merchant class who were, interestingly enough, banned from flaunting their wealth. Following World War II, tattoos were outlawed by the Emperor of Japan in an effort to improve Japan’s image in the west. Tattoos in Japan then took on a criminal element, but this didn’t stop foreigners from being so intrigued as to seek out the skills of Japanese tattoo artists–a practice that helped keep Japanese style tattoos alive."

"text": "\"What Does a Living Trust Do?by Michelle Fabio, Esq. Freelance writer A living trust, also called an inter vivos or revocable trust, is an estate planning tool increasingly used by individuals and families of all income brackets as a way to pass on property while generally avoiding costs and delays associated with probate. It is one of the most important documents you can prepare in your lifetime. For this reason, it's essential you understand exactly what it can do for you, your estate, and your heirs. Here are six things a living trust does:1. Quickly distributes assets at your death. A living trust is funded by your assets such as property, bank accounts, stocks, and bond accounts and certificates that are transferred to the trust during your lifetime; upon your death, these assets are distributed quickly and easily to your designated beneficiaries by your chosen representative, called a \"\"successor trustee.\"\" Generally, no court action is involved. Without a living trust, your estate may go through probate. The probate process can usually take six months to two years."

Successor trustees can relax a bit, because you don’t do anything right now. You will only begin to act when the person becomes unable to manage his or her financial affairs due to incapacity, or when he or she dies. If you have been named as a trustee, you may already be acting in that capacity. In either case, it is important that you understand your duties and responsibilities. This brochure will help.

That's primarily because a will does not avoid probate when you die. A will must be validated by the probate court before it can be enforced. Also, because a will can only go into effect after you die, it provides no protection if you become physically or mentally incapacitated. So the court could easily take control of your assets before you die -- a concern of millions of older Americans and their families. Fortunately, there is a simple and proven alternative to a will -- the revocable living trust. It avoids probate, and lets you keep control of your assets while you are living -- even if you become incapacitated -- and after you die.2."

"text": "\"EXECUTORS & TRUSTEES: WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOWTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EXECUTOR AND A TRUSTEEAn Executor is the person named in a Will and appointed by the court to be in charge of probating the Will and settling the estate under the court’s supervision. In order to be appointed by the court, a petition for probate must be filed with the court, and if the nominated Executor agrees to serve and no one objects, the court will issue “letters testamentary” which authorize the Executor to gather up the estate assets, open an estate bank account, sell assets, pay creditors, and ultimately, upon court authorization, distribute the estate assets (after debts, taxes and administration expenses are paid) to the heirs in accordance with the terms of the Will. A Trustee is the person in charge of the assets held in a trust, and is normally named as trustee in the trust. If the trust is a living trust, probate will be avoided for the assets held in the trust, and court supervision is usually not necessary. In such a case, the Trustee may perform many of the same tasks that the Executor would otherwise handle, except without the burden of probate. If the trust is created in the deceased person’s Will, it is a testamentary trust and it will be subject to the supervision of the Probate Court. In either case, the Trustee is responsible for managing and distributing the trust assets to or for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the trust in accordance with the terms of the trust. SELECTING A TRUSTEE OR AN EXECUTORThe choice of a trustee or executor is a decision that should not be made lightly. Serving as a trustee or executor is not just an \"\"honorary\"\" role -- it requires someone who is:honest and trustworthyconscientiousable to do the workavailablewilling to serveorganizedsavvy about investments and taxesneutral & unbiaseda good listener and communicatorattentive to detailsable to handle & resolve conflictscareful about keeping records Most often, people name a spouse or adult child as executor/trustee, but this is not always the best choice. Consider the above qualities – if your family member doesn’t measure up, pick someone else."

"text": "\"A living trust allows you to place assets under the care of a trustee who then distributes the assets to the beneficiaries of your choosing, in accordance with the terms you've set forth in your trust document. A living trust is often used to protect assets from the expense and delays of the probate process. A revocable trust is taxed as the grantor's personal assets, while an irrevocable trust is taxed as an independent legal entity. You may establish a living trust by executing a trust document and placing assets into the trust. Although it is best to retain an attorney to draft the living trust, it is possible to draft it yourself with the aid of an online legal document provider. Step 1Determine whether the trust will be revocable or irrevocable. You may revoke a revocable living trust at any time, but in most states, you cannot revoke an irrevocable living trust without either the unanimous consent of the beneficiaries or a court order. Protect your loved ones. Start My Estate Plan Step 2Name the living trust. Most grantors name the trust after themselves, as in \"\"The John Doe Revocable Living Trust.\"\""

I'm looking at a situation where a client had a Revocable Living Trust during their lifetime. ( The following dates are fictitious - the facts are not. ) The individual died on June 1, 2011 and a Testamentary trust came into existence (as called for in their will). When the lawyer applied for the Federal ID number for the Testamentary trust, he named it \"\"The John Doe Trust of August 5, 2011.\"\" I'm not sure why he chose the date (I've asked but haven't yet received an answer) - I suspect that was when the executor qualified. The Form 1041 asked for the \"\"Date Entity Created\"\". Seems to me that date should be June 1, 2011, not the date specified in the name of the trust. Anyone care to make suggestions?

They married young because Laurie became pregnant and, being Catholic, any other choice was out of the question, so he decided to do the right thing. It wasn’t that he didn’t love her—he did, but over time, Frank longed for his lost youth. You can see where this is going and it’s not good. Laurie worked full-time to put Frank through college and law school. He worked long hours and she stayed home with the kids. As his success rose, they began to lead separate lives. He and his buddies would routinely frequent strip clubs after work and occasionally bust out for a Vegas trip which inevitably did not stay in there. One night after Frank arrived home drunk and passed out on the sofa, Laurie came across text messages from one of the girls wanting to hook up and that was the start of their particular fandango."

The air was filled with the rich smells of the sea and the waves built and crested in a primal rhythm, beckoning me to come ride. I'd come to Long Beach on the west coast of Canada to get my first taste of surfing. My imagination filled with images of effortlessly gliding along the curl of a breaker as my hand lazily skimmed the wall of water along the face of the wave. This was going to be epic!Oh was I ever wrong!It was indeed epic, but of the ‘fail’ variety. I got tossed around by crashing waves and beat up by currents that wouldn’t let me get passed the impact zone. Once I did get out where the rest of the surfers were ‘dropping in’ and ‘killing it’ with graceful kicks and turns, I was left desperately paddling in a futile attempt to catch a wave — any wave — and live out my dream of being a surfer. I got tips from others, and kind words of encouragement, but it seemed like no matter what I tried I could never experience the thrill of riding the waves. I have talked with people whose experience with God kind of matches my attempt at surfing."

"text": "\"Estate planning often involves creating a living trust and granting someone a power of attorney. A living trust is an arrangement a person enters into while they are alive to use her property to benefit others, called beneficiaries. The trust property is managed and distributed to the beneficiaries according to terms established in a trust agreement by a third party trustee. Many times the terms of the living trust can be changed by its creator during her lifetime. A power of attorney is a document that allows a person, or principal, to give another the ability to act on his behalf as his agent. Whether an agent with power of attorney can change a living trust depends on how the power of attorney is drafted. Limited vs. General There are different types of powers of attorney. A limited power of attorney only permits an agent to act for the principal in areas it specifically defines. For example, a limited power of attorney may only grant an agent the right to sell the principal’s house or change the terms of a living trust the principal created. The agent cannot act for the principal in any other area other than what the power of attorney permits."

What Happens When You Inherit a House With a Sibling? The Tax Advantages for Creating a Trust for Real Estate Any time you receive property – either by gift, through a will bequest, or handed down through a living trust – you have to consider the tax issues that come with it.. Whether you actually end up paying taxes depends on several factors. What you do with the house and where the property is located play a big part. Income Tax The Internal Revenue Service does not tax inherited real estate as income, even if it comes from a trust. If you had inherited cash, this would be representative of the living trust's income, so you would receive a Schedule K-1 from the trustee and you'd have to report it on your tax return. Real estate represents the trust's principal or corpus, however, so you can typically take possession of the property without paying taxes on it. An exception exists if you decide to rent the property. The rent you receive is income to you, although you can generally deduct any costs you incur in finding a tenant and maintaining the property.

"text": "\"Estate Planning 101 Essential Documents Learn About Revocable Living Trust and How It Works Share Flip Pin Email•••By Julie Garber Updated March 31, 2018A revocable living trust -- sometimes simply called a living trust -- is a legal entity created to hold ownership of an individual's assets. The person who forms the trust is called the grantor or trustmaker, and in most cases, he also serves as the trustee, controlling and managing the assets he placed there. Some trustmakers prefer to have an institution or attorney acts as trustee, although this is somewhat uncommon with this type of trust. A revocable living trust covers three phases of the trustmaker's life: his lifetime, possible incapacitation, and what happens after his death. Phase One of a Revocable Living Trust: The Trustmaker is Alive and Well The trust's formation documents should include specific provisions allowing the trustmaker to invest and spend the trust assets for his benefit during his lifetime. He can go about business as usual with the assets that have been transferred or funded into the trust's ownership, assuming he hasn't appointed someone else to act as trustee. In this case, the trustee would typically take direction from him. The trustmaker reserves the right to undo a revocable trust -- thus the term \"\"revocable.\"\" He can reclaim assets he's placed into it, divert the trust's income to himself or another beneficiary, sell the assets or place more assets into it. He maintains final control."

"text": "\"What No One Tells You About Living Trusts This article was written by Timothy L. Takacs, Certified Elder Law Attorney What is a living trust? A trust is a legal way of holding, managing and distributing property. Every trust must have four elements: There must be someone who creates the trust, who is often called the \"\"trustor\"\" or the \"\"grantor. \"\" There must be assets, usually called the trust \"\"corpus. \"\" There must be someone who holds, manages and distributes the assets, who is called the \"\"trustee. \"\" The trust must have a purpose. The person for whose benefit the trust is created is called the \"\"beneficiary. \"\" A living trust is revocable. That means that even though the trustor transfers assets to a living trust, the trustor can get his or her property back by revoking the trust. In most living trusts created in the United States, the trustor, trustee and beneficiary are all the same person."

Modern cars have tons of electronics that can be screwed up if you do it wrong which can be costly enough exceed the value of some cars. Before you jump it, check out the battery terminals for corrosion.

A mechanic can measure the voltage in the battery, in order to determine whether it needs to be replaced. There are two ways to do this. Open circuit voltage test This car battery test determines how fully charged your battery is. This test is done twelve hours after shutting off your car, so that any surface charge can dissipate. This means a more accurate reading. The test is done with the engine off. Then your mechanic may either use a multimeter/voltmeter, or a dedicated battery tester. The dedicated tester is simply connected to the battery terminals and the voltage can be read. With the multimeter, the device is configured to measure voltage up to 20 volts."

"text": "Battery conditionindicator Speedometer Battery Temperature gauge Rev counter If your car's instrument panel includes an ammeter, it will tell you how well the charging system is working - the difference between the charge going into the battery and the power being used from it. A battery-condition indicator shows only that the generator is charging, by the rise in the voltage. It does not tell you how high or low the charging rate is - though normally any rise means that the charge is adequate. Many cars have only an ignition warning light, a red warning signal that should go off after the engine starts. This tells you that the generator is producing electricity - not whether it is producing enough to keep the battery charged. But any abnormal behaviour of the light means that something is wrong somewhere. Before making checks on the charging system, check that the battery is free of any defects which could produce symptoms similar to those of a faulty generator. If the engine will not turn over, check for loose or broken starter motor, solenoid or earth connections. Inspect the battery for loose, dirty or corroded terminals. Clean corroded terminals and leads with very hot water."

"text": "Gerry Marchee Answered Oct 29, 2017Car batteries are the strong, silent member of the automotive team. They do their job regardless of heat, cold weather and the drivers who demand so much of them. While a battery that allows a car start at the first turn of the key is a joyful thing, it doesn’t last forever. References: How To Recondition Batteries – Battery Reconditioning Methods - Moldite In fact, depending on where you live and how you drive, the condition of your charging system, and a number of other factors, a battery lasts about four years on average. And when it does give out, there’s generally no sign of trouble — your car just dies. While the lead-acid car battery hasn’t changed much in the last 100 years, it’s still a difficult part of the car to check during routine maintenance. Simple battery testers can’t, at this time, muddle through the chemical complexity of what goes on in a battery. Instead, they provide a sort of snapshot of the battery at the time it’s being tested — without the context of the battery’s chemical composition before or after the test. So the rule of thumb is simple for battery replacement: You have approximately four years before the battery will theoretically begin its slide from chemical powerhouse to chemical paperweight. At the four year mark, start watching, and hope your mechanic will detect a problem before it’s too late."

This will hurt you-- BAD! When working with batteries, you need to have plenty of ventilation, remove your jewelry, wear protective eyewear (safety glasses) and clothing, and exercise caution. Do not allow battery electrolyte to mix with salt water. Even small quantities of this combination will produce chorine gas that can KILL you! Whenever possible, please follow the manufacturer's instructions for testing, jumping, installing, charging and equalizing batteries. This FAQ assumes a 12-volt, six cell, negative grounded, lead acid battery found in most recreational applications in North America. For six-volt batteries, divide the voltage by two; for eight-volt batteries, divide by 1.5; for 24-volt batteries, double the voltage; and for 48-volt batteries, multiple by four.

"text": "Knowledge Base : Tutorials : Battery Articles : What Does “20 Amp Hr Rate” Mean? What Does “20 Amp Hr Rate” Mean? Share Tweet Share Share Pin Copy Link Lead acid batteries are complicated things. Take some lead and sulfuric acid, stick them in a container together and you end up with a potential chemical reaction that can produce electricity. The question is, when you need to know how much electricity is able to be created with that chemical reaction, what is the standard rating, and how is it set? We have answered this question the complicated way on the Peukert's Law Tutorial, but here's a more basic look at determining what you need to know. Several years ago when you would go to buy a car, the little tag on the window of a coupe might have read 42 mpg. Of course everyone knew that the only way to make that car get 42 miles to the gallon was to drive at 25 miles per hour on a newly paved level track. So in 2008 when the EPA updated their standards, the ratings all dropped to much more realistic numbers that most light-footed people can achieve. Battery ratings are very similar."

"text": "Check Engine Light| | Categories: My Car The check engine light is part of your vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD) system. Computers have control and monitor vehicle performance, regulating such variables as engine speed (RPM), fuel mixture, and ignition timing, and may even tell the automatic transmission when to shift. When the electronic-control system finds a problem it cannot adjust, the computer turns on a yellow warning indicator and stores a trouble code in it's memory. These diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) help identify the probable source of the problem, such as a malfunctioning sensor or a misfiring engine and can be read with a scan tool or diagnostic computer. Vehicle manufacturers originally used the OBD system to help technicians pinpoint and troubleshoot malfunctions. Exactly what the OBD system looks for depends on the make, model and year of the vehicle. The original systems varied widely in their capabilities and some did little more than check whether the various electronic sensors were hooked up and working. With the advent of the OBD II systems, required under federal laws regulating automotive emissions, automakers were required to install a more sophisticated system that, for all intents and purposes, acts like a built-in emissions monitoring station. The check engine light is reserved only for problems that may have an effect on the vehicle emissions systems. What does it mean?"

My 2003 Chevy LS 4x4 with only 29,000 miles has a serious issue. The battery is completely drained after setting approx 4 to 5 days. I have pulled the battery and alternator....both check fine a couple of times. The service 4 wheel drive comes on but it has done that since new. We suspected touchy sensors but I suppose that could be the source of the issue. The truck has been to a certified GM dealer and they said couple of fuses were corroded. The problem reappeared and seems to be here for good. Does anyone have any specs on what the normal electrical drain would be when engine off."

All kinds of things can go wrong with them, and the symptoms don't always give you a straight shot back to the source of the problem. Among all of the electrical system complaints I get, the one that seems to anger people the most is having a dead battery. Especially if the battery, battery cables, alternator, and voltage regulator are new. Few things are worse than turning the key, only to be met with silence. Fortunately, determining the cause of a battery drain is pretty easy. Did the headlights get left on? Are the battery cables tight? Is the battery fully charged? Is the battery holding a charge?"

"text": "\"Jon Mixon, Been working on my own vehicles since high school. Updated Oct 29, 2017 · Author has 19.3k answers and 89.8m answer views There are several ways: Most cars have a warning light (sometimes called an \"\"idiot light\"\") which will indicate that there is a problem with your vehicle's charging system. Many older model and high performance vehicles have an ammeter (a gauge which display the current draw on your battery) and this can tell the operator that their vehicle isn't charging the battery. The most obvious signs will be the car's electrical system malfunctioning (radio sounding garbled,lights dimming,etc). But many people don't want to wait for this to occur. If you believe that your vehicle's electrical system is malfunctioning, I would suggest the following: If you own or can borrow a multimeter, place the negative and positive leads on top of the appropriate terminals while running the vehicle. Adjust the meter to read DC voltage and your screen should read between 13.8-15.5 volts. Anything lower means that your battery isn't charging; anything higher means that your alternator is malfunctioning. There is this way: http://www.popularmechanics.com/... You can take the vehicle to a number of auto parts stores and they test your battery/alternator for you for free. I would strongly advise against the \"\"old time\"\" method of starting the vehicle and then removing your negative to see if the car dies."

"text": "Image via Wikipedia Lean Defined: What is Waste? ( In Logistics)We’ve all heard the phrase, “you can’t make something out of nothing.” Resources are necessary to accomplish anything great or small. However, problems arise from using resources unproductively, applying the wrong resources, failing to tap into necessary resources, or directing resources toward the wrong outputs. In each of these instances, waste is created. Costs are incurred, time is consumed, opportunities for value creation and growth are lost, and customers are left less than satisfied. The first step in lean thinking is to understand what is value and what activities and resources are necessary to create that value (“value-add”). Once value is understood, everything else is waste. Defined, waste is “useless consumption or expenditure; use without adequate return.” Lean practitioners use the Japanese term “ muda ” when referring to waste, although they have typically done so in a manufacturing context."

Simply put, the difference between the two is that asset based 3PL own parts of the supply chain such as trucks, warehouses, and more. A non asset 3PL does not own any of these, and is typically agnostic in the way of warehousing and transportation providers. Today I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. Typically, the advantage of one is a disadvantage of the other's. The argument on which is better is always debated, and you typically fall into one or the other camp depending on where you work. However, if you are a company who is looking to outsource your logistics to a provider, regardless of asset or non-asset, your best chance at providing the most value for your company is to choose the one that meets your needs, offers solutions, expert and reliable customer service, and ultimately choose the provider that will serve you in the long-term with the ability to scale as you grow and expand your business. Advantages & Disadvantages of Asset Based 3PL vs Non asset Based 3PLDISCLAIMER: Cerasis is a non asset based 3PL.

Some analysts are primarily consultants who observe operations, report their findings, and make suggestions on how to improve shipping strategies. Others perform more hands-on duties such as checking warehouse inventories, building orders, and directing logistics. All focus on enhancing logistics and ensuring distributors and customers receive accurate, timely orders. Warehouses and stock rooms owned by large corporations can be busy, confusing places. A supply chain analyst is responsible for keeping things organized and easy to find when an order is placed. He or she regularly checks inventory and helps warehouse personnel develop the most efficient strategies for gathering and boxing products. The analyst also researches supply and demand statistics to make sure the correct quantities of each product are available. Supply chain analysts coordinate with shipping supervisors to make sure orders are ready to go out when transport trucks arrive.

Usually, the flow of goods spans from the point of production to the end user. The logistics management specialist is also responsible for ensuring that the raw materials and other items necessary for production get to the manufacturing plants as well as for coordinating the transfer of finished products from the factory to the warehouses. In addition, he or she is in charge of maintaining safety standards. Companies rely on logistics management specialists to conduct an analysis of the routing channels with the aim of finding the most efficient and cost-effective routes for transporting the raw materials and finished goods. Logistics management specialists must also analyze the methods of transporting the goods so as to decide which methods will work best. For instance, a company may transport its finished products by truck from one point to another. The logistics management specialist may discover that it will be cheaper and faster to transport the goods by ship. After deciding on the best routes and methods of transportation, the logistics manager will meet with the heads of various departments in the organization so as to integrate the various systems for placing orders, accounting and managing sales.

An operations manager typically ensures smooth operation of various processes that contribute to the production of goods and services of an organization. The role of an operations manager is very wide and encompasses many operational areas. While other employees can focus on a specialized area of operation (for example, finance and systems support), an operations manager typically wears multiple hats and does a bit of just about everything. The role of an operations manager has become a lot wider ever since globalization has brought in intense competition among the organizations and the manager is required to execute responsibilities hitherto beyond the scope of regular job description. Let us look at the broad roles and responsibilities of an operations manager. Logistics management: The operations manager ensures that the machinery and equipment used have the ability to produce goods and services for the client at an acceptable standard. The operations manager also coordinates with the quality assurance personnel to ensure that the goods meet an acceptable standard and generates positive feedback from clients. The manager may interact with the employees, prepare reports on the current condition of logistics, and decide on the next course of action."

Some supply chains are simple, while others are rather complicated. The complexity of the supply chain will vary with the size of the business and the intricacy and numbers of items that are manufactured. SCM is the acronym for the term “Supply Chain Management”. Supply Chain Management is the management of a network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers (Harland, 1996). Supply Chain Management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption (supply chain). What is Supply Chain Management ? Supply chain management (SCM) is a process used by companies to ensure that their supply chain is efficient and cost-effective. A supply chain is the collection of steps that a company takes to transform raw components into the final product. The following are five basic components of SCM."

Headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, it is represented in 28 countries and 48 states within the U. S. It provides support as well as technical and logistic services to the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and several federal agencies. It has supported every U. S. military operation, from the Vietnam War to Operation Enduring Freedom. The DLA supplies almost every consumable item that America’s military services need to operate, from food and clothing to equipment and jet fuel. It manages five million items in nine supply chains, and oversees 26 worldwide distribution depots. In FY 2011, it provided $46.1 billion in sales and revenue, including $2.4 billion in foreign military sales in support of 110 U. S. allies.more History: On August 31, 1961, Defense Secretary Robert S. Mc Namara convened a committee to study the consolidation of supply management for the military services. On October 1, 1961, a separate common supply and service agency, the Defense Supply Agency (DSA), was established. Its headquarters were set up at Cameron Station in Alexandria, Virginia. When DSA first began operations on January 1, 1962, it controlled six commodity-type and two service-type single managers, from medical supplies, textiles and traffic management service to supplies for automotive, construction, and petroleum. Having these functions consolidated under the DSA was estimated to save more than $30 million each year and reduce the workforce by 3,300 people."

"text": "\"9 Steps to Establish the Lean Supply Chain: A System of Interconnected & Interdependent Partners Supply Chain // Chuck Intrieri // May 6, 2015 // 6 comments0 shares Top management knows that lean can add value, but many still haven’t moved past the initial education stage into full-scale lean supply chain implementation. One reason may be that they haven’t made the paradigm shift as to how to implement lean. The Lean Supply Chain is a system of interconnected and interdependent partners that operate in unison to accomplish supply chain objectives. There should be metrics involved to monitor these objectives to ensure success across the supply chain. These metrics should be reviewed frequently to ensure supply chain success. These objectives are accomplished as follows:1. Eliminate All Waste in the Supply Chain So That Only Value Remains Creating a smooth flow of products downstream in a lean supply chain requires all departments and functions in the organization to work in collaboration. In the supply chain, the seven wastes translate to: o System complexity—additional, unnecessary, steps and confusing processes o Lead time—excessive wait times o Transport—unnecessary movement of product o Space—holding places for unnecessary inventory o Inventory—inactive raw, work-in-process, or finished goods o Human effort—activity that does not add value o Packaging—containers that transport air or allow damage o Energy- (Sometimes called the eighth waste): eliminate wasteful energy in the supply chain: minimize electricity, gas, utilities, etc.2. Consider Advancements in Technology To Improve The Supply Chain The following are a great list of technology investments that should be at the top of the list in the quest for the lean supply chain: Workforce Management throughout the Supply Chain,Omni-channel fulfillment, RFID,Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems, Electronic Data Interface (EDI),Trading Partners Interface (TPI-Retail Value Chain Federation),Customer Order Management,Customer Relationship Management (CRM)/Cloud Solutions,Transportation’s Yard Management Systems (YMS) to manage and track freight in the 3PL’s yard outside the warehouse dock doors,GPS for tracking freight,a Transportation Management System (TMS),and any other technology that streamlines the supply chain and improves communication and value to the customer. To drive further value, look for technology providers in the logistics and supply chain space who can integrate these systems together.3."

"text": "A logistics management specialist is a professional who is charged with the responsibility of overseeing the inflow and outflow of goods from one point to another. Usually, the flow of goods spans from the point of production to the end user. The logistics management specialist is also responsible for ensuring that the raw materials and other items necessary for production get to the manufacturing plants as well as for coordinating the transfer of finished products from the factory to the warehouses. In addition, he or she is in charge of maintaining safety standards. Companies rely on logistics management specialists to conduct an analysis of the routing channels with the aim of finding the most efficient and cost-effective routes for transporting the raw materials and finished goods. Logistics management specialists must also analyze the methods of transporting the goods so as to decide which methods will work best. For instance, a company may transport its finished products by truck from one point to another. The logistics management specialist may discover that it will be cheaper and faster to transport the goods by ship. After deciding on the best routes and methods of transportation, the logistics manager will meet with the heads of various departments in the organization so as to integrate the various systems for placing orders, accounting and managing sales. Ad Another function of the logistics management specialist is to maintain safety standards in the various warehouses by establishing and maintaining safety practices and guidelines."

What do they do and what are they responsible for? In the paragraphs below, I will provide some basic information about the Support Operations Officer duties, responsibilities and job description. Let’s get started. Within each maneuver brigade there is typically a Brigade Support Battalion or Forward Support Battalion that provides logistics to the brigade. Inside either of those two support units there is a Support Operations Officer. That person is responsible for coordinating and planning the direct support logistics between the maneuver elements in the brigade and the support battalion. In other words, when the brigade needs some type of logistical support (supply, maintenance, and medical), the request goes through the Support Operations Office. The Support Operations Officer is normally an experienced Major. He or she typically has a staff consisting of some maintenance personnel (a Warrant, Captain and NCO), some supply personnel (fuels, supply, mortuary affairs) and medical personnel."

"text": "\"Import/Export Business Import/Export Logistics Incoterms: International Shipping Terms / Terms of Sale Share Flip Pin Email•••By Laurel Delaney Updated March 10, 2017When it comes to preparing price quotations, language, specifically Incoterms, is one of the most important shipping tools of international trade. Importers and exporters must agree in advance on their respective roles and the terms, conditions and definitions of the sale. A buyer and seller should know where a risk begins and ends, who is responsible for what (e.g., costs and documentation), who owns what and at what geographical point. And while there are a whole host of international terms in use, we'll focus on the most commonly used foreign trade terms provided by the International Chamber of Commerce's Incoterms rules. Whether you are an importer, exporter, broker, consultant, lawyer, banker, transporter, insurer or aspiring entrepreneur of international trade, you should familiarize yourself with Incoterms rules, which are considered essential to use in contracts for the sale of goods internationally. For example, here we discuss preparing a proforma invoice using one of the common terms, CNF, (see below) which means cost and freight - you are responsible for paying the freight costs and collecting from your customer later. All the terms highlighted below will affect the final numbers on your import or export quotation, as well as your financial responsibility for the shipment. The following is an excerpt from my book, \"\"Start and Run a Profitable Exporting Business,\"\" but I have adjusted it to reflect both importing and exporting and updated Incoterms. CIF (cost, insurance and freight): you (seller) are responsible for paying the freight and insurance costs in advance. You will collect these later when you invoice your customer."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: This could be hard to understand but if you know a lil chemistry it should be easy. The Anion Gap is an approximate measurement of ions, that is molecules with a charge, either negative or positive. Sodium and potassium are positively charged and therefore called cations; this is why they are often represented as Na+ and K+ respectively. These two are the main cations measured in the blood. Negatively charged molecules are called ANIONS. in your situations when anion gap is low that indicates your blood p H is low due to increased production of H+ by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the kidney. Anion Gap concentrations are expressed in units of milliequivalents/liter (m Eq/L). The average anion gap for healthy adults is 8-12 m Eq/L. If you experience some Symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, headache this may be a serious sign of Metabolic acidosis which is a process that can lead to Acidosis (acidity of the blood plasma) in your case it's low blood p H. Anion gap can be classified as either high, normal or, low."

"text": "News Oxygen Delivery and Acid-Base Balance Published on August 6, 2010Numerous physiological and pathological processes alter blood gases and acid-base status. It is critical that oxygen delivery be maintained at adequate physiologic levels based on organ and cellular demand. Any fluctuation from the normal physiological range may compromise the systems and eventually lead to cell destruction and death. Thus, when interpreting arterial blood gas data, it is important that the clinician have available sufficient data to construct a clinical picture of oxygen delivery and metabolic status. 1 The data must be accurate and free from artifact and technical error. Blood-gas data will aid clinical decision-making and influence therapeutic modalities. The basic underlying goal is to maximize oxygen delivery to the tissues and correct the underlying pathophysiologic processes. Oxygen Delivery Hypoxemia may be the result of inadequate alveolar ventilation VA/Q mismatch, impaired diffusing capacity, or arterial to venous shunt. 1 Hypoxemia often leads to tissue hypoxia, and correction of hypoxemia may help to reverse tissue hypoxia. 2 There are also several other causes of tissue hypoxia, many of which we lack specific tools to measure."

It is used to determine what a person’s anion and non-anion gap happens to be in regards to excess acid levels that may exist in the body. Called acidosis, too much acid can interfere with cell functioning and this may cause delays in treatment. The anion gap is discovered through the measurement of positive ions compared to negative ions. It is usually taken from the serum, but some medical providers may prefer a urine test instead of a blood test to get this information. It is important to note that the anion gap is considered a non-specific measurement. It increases when unmeasured anions increase, so a medical provider knows there is an issue, but doesn’t know what is causing the issue. Based on an individual’s physical symptoms, however, the test results from the electrolyte panel and the anion gap calculation can lead toward a diagnosis. The anion gap blood test is typically ordered when someone is suffering from specific physical conditions. This may include confusion, edema, or a cardiac arrhythmia."

The present study was undertaken to determine whether quantitative measurement of a ketone body anion could be used to diagnose DKA. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS —A retrospective review of records from hospitalized diabetic patients was undertaken to determine the concentration of serum β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB) that corresponds to a HCO 3 level of 18 m Eq/l, the threshold value for diagnosis in recently published consensus criteria. Simultaneous admission βOHB and HCO 3 values were recorded from 466 encounters, 129 in children and 337 in adults. RESULTS —A HCO 3 level of 18 m Eq/l corresponded with βOHB levels of 3.0 and 3.8 mmol/l in children and adults, respectively. With the use of these threshold βOHB values to define DKA, there was substantial discordance (∼≥20%) between βOHB and conventional diagnostic criteria using HCO 3, p H, and glucose. In patients with DKA, there was no correlation between HCO 3 and glucose levels on admission and a significant but weak correlation between βOHB and glucose levels ( P < 0.001)."

"text": "An anion gap test is part of an electrolyte test that is sometimes ordered by doctors. The results generally are obtained from a blood test, also referred to as a serum test. The results of the test will help the doctor determine the possibility of a condition commonly known as acidosis. The test measures the anion gap, which essentially is the difference between the level of negatively charged ions, or anions, and the level of positively charged ions, or cations, that are in the blood. Acidosis is a medical condition that causes too much acid to build up in the body. This affects the p H balance in the body and can lead to a host of medical problems if left untreated. There are two primary forms of acidosis. These forms include metabolic and non-metabolic acidosis. The treatments vary depending on the type of acidosis present, so the anion gap test is a valuable tool for doctors. If the test results are elevated, it could signify that the body is producing too much acid or is somehow compromised to the point of insufficient acid removal."

Blood glucose over 11 mmol/L or known diabetes mellitus (the degree of hyperglycaemia is not a reliable indicator of DKA and the blood glucose may rarely be normal or only slightly elevated in DKA). Bicarbonate below 15 mmol/L and/or venous p H less than 7.3. However, hyperglycaemia may not always be present and low blood ketone levels (<3 mmol/L) do not always exclude DKA. [ 2]Epidemiology DKA is normally seen in people with type 1 diabetes. Data from the UK National Diabetes Audit show a crude one-year incidence of 3.6% among people with type 1 diabetes.

"text": "Lactic Acidosis A commonly encountered cause of elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis, particularly in the ICU is lactic acid. Lactic acidosis is characterized by a p H < 7.36 and lactate level > 5mmol/LLactic acid is produced under normal aerobic states in cells of the brain, retina, and erythrocytes. Under normal circumstances, lactate is circulated to the liver, and to a lesser degree the kidney, where it is converted into glucose or CO2 and H2O. Lactate + 3O2 → HCO3- + 2CO2 + 2H2O 2 Lactate + 2CO2 + 2H2O → 2HCO3- + glucose. In hypoxic states (low O2 supply) such as in strenuous muscle activity (seizure) or in low tissue perfusion states from circulatory failure, lactic acid is also produced anaerobically during glycolysis. This occurs via the following reaction: This conversion of pyruvate to lactate in anaerobic conditions is promoted by the accumulation of NADH and the depletion of NAD+ which is needed as an electron acceptor so that glycolysis can continue. The conversion to lactate results in the regeneration of NAD+ so that minimal amounts of ATP can be made indefinitely from glycolysis in states of very low tissue oxygenation. Lactate accumulation and lactic acidosis results because in states of low tissue perfusion such as shock, or in states of mitochondrion dysfunction, lactate cannot be recycled to the liver for conversion back to glucose or for further breakdown because both of these reactions as shown above require oxygen and both take place in the mitochondrion. There are primarily 2 types of lactic acidosis: Type A – Due to tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia Type B – Not due to tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia. Type A Lactic Acidosis Most cases of lactic acidosis are due to reduced oxygen delivery as a result of reduced tissue perfusion from shock or cardiopulmonary arrest. Other conditions such as acute pulmonary edema, can cause severe hypoxemia leading to reduced O2 delivery."

"text": "Ketoacidosis is a high anion gap metabolic acidosis due to an excessive blood concentration of ketone bodies (keto-anions). Ketone bodies (acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetone) are released into the blood from the liver when hepatic lipid metabolism has changed to a state of increased ketogenesis. A relative or absolute insulin deficiency is present in all cases. The three major types of ketosis are: * Starvation ketosis * Alcoholic ketoacidosis * Diabetic ketoacidosis====When hepatic glycogen stores are exhausted (eg after 12-24 hours of total fasting), the liver produces ketones to provide an energy substrate for peripheral tissues. Ketoacidosis can appear after an overnight fast but it typically requires 3 to 14 days of starvation to reach maximal severity. Typical ketoanion levels are only 1 to 2 mmol/l and this will not much alter the anion gap. The acidosis even with quite prolonged fasting is only ever of mild to moderate severity with ketoanion levels up to a maximum of 3 to 5 mmol/l and plasma p H down to 7.3. This is probably due to the insulin level, which though lower, is still enough to keep the FFA levels less than 1m M. This limits substrate delivery to the liver restraining hepatic ketogenesis. Ketone bodies also stimulate some insulin release from the islets. The anion gap will usually not be much elevated.====Alcoholic ketoacidosis Typical Presentation This typical situation leading to alcoholic ketoacidosis is a chronic alcoholic who has a binge, then stops drinking and has little or no oral food intake."

In this article Description Epidemiology Causes of metabolic acidosis Presentation Differential diagnosis Investigations Management Complications Prognosis See also separate Lactic Acidosis and Arterial Blood Gases - Indications and Interpretations articles. Description Metabolic acidosis is defined as an arterial blood p H <7.35 with plasma bicarbonate <22 mmol/L. Respiratory compensation occurs normally immediately, unless there is respiratory pathology. Pure metabolic acidosis is a term used to describe when there is not another primary acid-base derangement - ie there is not a mixed acid-base disorder. Compensation may be partial (very early in time course, limited by other acid-base derangements, or the acidosis exceeds the maximum compensation possible) or full. The Winter formula can be helpful here - the formula allows calculation of the expected compensating p CO 2:p CO 2 = (1.5 × [HCO3-]) + 8 ± 2If the measured p CO 2 is >expected p CO 2 then additional respiratory acidosis may also be present. It is important to remember that metabolic acidosis is not a diagnosis; rather, it is a metabolic derangement that indicates underlying disease (s) as a cause. Determination of the underlying cause is the key to correcting the acidosis and administering appropriate therapy [ 1].

"text": "Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The kidneys place a role in determining the body's ACID-BASE balance - that is, they help to ensure that the p H of the blood does not fall below or rise above 7.3. There are two possible routes by which p H can change: RESPIRATORY CAUSESRespiratory Acidosis results from a HIGH blood gas concentration of CO2 which becomes carbonic acid when dissolved in water. This usually occurs because the patient just isn't breathing effectively enough - such as in morphine overdose where the automatic control of ventilation is suppressed. The body must compensate for this dangerous decrease in p H (to put things into perspective, a p H of 6.8 will mean life is NOT sustainable) and in the case of RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS, it employs a RENAL compensation. If the normal buffering systems in the blood are overwhelmed (haemoglobin, bicarbonate, phospate and plasma proteins all usually help to mop up excess acid) then the kidney excretes more acid, and reabsorbs more bicarbonate. This INCREASES the buffering capacity of the blood, and reduces the acid content. Respiratory Alkalosis results from a LOW blood gas concentration of CO2. This can occur during HYPERVENTILATION (e.g. during a panic attack, or during the early stages of an asthma attack). The lungs are 'blowing off' higher levels of carbon dioxide than necessary, and this pulls the p H up."

Kaufman, MD Chief, Section of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine Bridgeport Hospital-Yale New Haven Health Assistant Clinical Professor, Yale University School of Medicine (Section of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine)Introduction: Interpreting an arterial blood gas (ABG) is a crucial skill for physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other health care personnel. ABG interpretation is especially important in critically ill patients. The following six-step process helps ensure a complete interpretation of every ABG. In addition, you will find tables that list commonly encountered acid-base disorders. Many methods exist to guide the interpretation of the ABG. This discussion does not include some methods, such as analysis of base excess or Stewart’s strong ion difference. A summary of these techniques can be found in some of the suggested articles. It is unclear whether these alternate methods offer clinically important advantages over the presented approach, which is based on the “anion gap. ”6-step approach: Step 1: Assess the internal consistency of the values using the Henderseon-Hasselbach equation: [H+] = 24 (Pa CO 2) [HCO 3 -]If the p H and the [H+] are inconsistent, the ABG is probably not valid.p HApproximate [H+] (mmol/L)7.001007.05897.10797.15717.20637.25567.30507.35457.40407.45357.50327.55287.60257.6522Step 2: Is there alkalemia or acidemia present?p H < 7.35 acidemia p H > 7.45 alkalemia This is usually the primary disorder Remember: an acidosis or alkalosis may be present even if the p H is in the normal range (7.35 – 7.45)You will need to check the Pa CO 2, HCO 3 - and anion gap Step 3: Is the disturbance respiratory or metabolic?

"text": "What Does Elevated BUN/Creatinine Ratio Mean Both high serum creatinine (Scr) and high blood urea nitrogen (BUN) can reflect the damage degree of glomerular filtration rate. If BUN/creatinine ratio increases, it may indicate some disorders. Creatinine and BUN levels In addition to kidney disease, BUN level can also be affected by some other factors such as high-protein diet, hemorrhage of digestive tract, dehydration or high metabolism. If exogenous creatinine intake and the production of creatinine in the blood are stable, the creatinine level is mainly depended on the glomerular filtration ability. Therefore, serum creatinine level is more reliable than BUN, so BUN/creatinine ratio has certain clinic meaning. The normal BUN/creatinine ratio The answer may be changed in different labs. Most often, BUN/creatinine ratio is 12~20:1. What does elevated BUN/creatinine ratio indicate?- Dissimilation hyperthyroidism: Fever, taking steroids or tetracycline, stringent state, and so on.- High-protein diet or digestive tract bleeding- Hyperfunction of urea reabsorption: Dehydration, heart insufficiency, decline of blood volume, liver syndrome, urinary tract obstruction, and so on. From this analysis, we can know the increased BUN/creatinine can reveal so many disorders. If you are tested about this problem, you should consult the doctor to find out the underlying cause and then accept effective treatments to manage it in detail."

"text": "What Causes Low Creatinine Levels?by SARA COPELAND, MD Aug. 14, 2017Creatinine is a waste product from normal muscle metabolism. It is easily filtered out of the blood by well-functioning kidneys and levels typically remain relatively stable in the body and bloodstream over time. Creatinine is often included in routine laboratory testing to evaluate kidney function. There are many reasons why creatinine levels may be low, some as relatively harmless as a low-protein diet and others as serious as advanced liver disease. Low creatinine alone does not generally indicate a serious medical condition and can be caused by multiple factors. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Low Creatinine Related to Muscle Mass When the kidneys are functioning normally, a creatinine level most closely reflects the amount of muscle in the body. Low muscle mass is a leading cause of a low creatinine level. For example, as people age, their creatinine level may decrease as they lose muscle mass -- particularly if they are not exercising regularly. Another cause of low creatinine is severe malnutrition that leads to muscle loss. When the intake or absorption of calories from food is severely reduced, the body needs an alternate energy source to make up for the insufficient calories."

"text": "What Causes Low Creatinine Levels? Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to muscle. It is a break-down product of creatine phosphate in muscle, and is usually produced at a fairly constant rate by the body (depending on muscle mass). On a daily basis approximately 2% of the creatine found in the body is converted to creatinine. Creatinine is transported through the bloodstream to the kidneys. The kidneys filter out most of the creatinine and dispose of it in the urine. Creatinine serves a major role as it can be used to determine kidney functionality. Creatinine levels tend to elevate if the kidney suffers damage; as such extremely high levels of creatinine may be a warning of kidney failure. In male and female adults normal creatinine levels range from 0.6 to 1.2mg (per deciliter) and 0.5 to 1.1mg respectively. Elderly persons will have lower creatinine levels than normal whilst infant creatinine levels should be approximately 2.0."

So, I went to the doctors earlier in the week and they did a blood and urine test. Saw the doctor today and he said that no diabetes is present, however I have a \"\"disappointing\"\" GFR of 58, (90+ as normal) which is low for someone aged 45.

Anyway, he said I should cut out chinese and curry, stop drinking carbonated drinks and don't put salt on my food for the next month. Then they will do the test again. With a reading of 58, is there any chance that I could have a much higher reading when I go back in a months time? Can diet make a change like that over the next month, or has he only said that to avoid more damage to my kidneys? Naturally, I am completely devastated.

Creatinine is the breakdown product of creatine, and it is excreted in your urine. Measuring creatinine levels in your blood serum and urine can validate suspicion of certain diseases, such as kidney failure and muscle wasting diseases. Vitamin C and certain drugs can alter creatinine levels, usually increasing them, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Creatine Phosphate Creatine phosphate is produced naturally in your liver and kidneys from amino acids, specifically arginine, glycine and methionine. Once produced, it is transported in your blood for use by muscles and other tissues.

This classification is based on the presence or absence of cytoplasmic granules, nuclear shape, and affinity for laboratory stains or dyes. White blood cells or leucocytes are considered as a main cellular component of blood. White blood cells are larger than erythrocytes and are found in less numbers than erythrocytes. Unlike erythrocytes, leucocytes can exit the blood by assuming amoeba-like behavior to wriggle through narrow capillary pores, and do their function in various tissues. The main function of leucocytes is to defend the body against infective pathogens and foreign materials. Leucocytes and their derivatives, along with certain plasma proteins are responsible in making the immune system, in many higher organisms.

"text": "Characteristics of Leukocytesby CHARIS GREY Aug. 14, 2017Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are vital to the body’s ability to fight off infection and promote healing. There are five types of leukocytes, each with distinct morphologies and functions. According to Gary Thibodeau, Ph D, and Kevin Patton, Ph D, authors of “The Human Body in Health and Disease,” abnormal leukocyte levels can indicate serious health problems. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Granular vs. Nongranular Cytoplasm The five types of leukocytes are divided into two categories: granulocytes and nongranulocytes. Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are granulocytes. These contain visible granules in their cytoplasm when stained and observed under a microscope. Nongranulocytes include lymphocytes and monocytes. These leukocytes display no granules in their cytoplasm. Single vs. Multilobed Nuclei Thibodeau and Patton explain that granulocytes have multilobed nuclei. The configuration of these lobes varies with the type of granulocyte."

Any attempt to cover immunology thoroughly would fill thousands of pages and, of course, we can't do that here. Instead, this chapter will briefly look at some of the cells and functions of the immune system in order to become acquainted with the immune side of the immune-brain connection. Many cells of the immune system are fully functional at birth and need no special training. These cells comprise the innate arm of the immune system. Other cells, called lymphocytes, require environmental training to become fully functional. Lymphocytes comprise the adaptive arm (i.e. it adapts to the environment) of the immune system. We will look at the innate arm first. Innate Immunity All organisms, whether they are worms, insects or humans, are born with innate immunity. Innate immunity is essentially a series of unlearned defenses displayed by certain immune cells at birth and continue throughout the life of the organism."

Function Transplants Diseases Donation Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside some of the bones in the body, including the hip and thigh bones. Bone marrow contains immature cells, called stem cells. Many people with blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, sickle cell anemia, and other life-threatening diseases, rely on bone marrow or cord blood transplants to survive. Healthy bone marrow and blood cells are needed in order to live. When disease affects bone marrow so that it can no longer function effectively, a marrow or cord blood transplant could be the best treatment option; for some patients it is the only potential cure. Fast facts on bone marrow Here are some key points about bone marrow. More detail is in the main article. Bone marrow produces 200 billion new red blood cells every day, along with white blood cells and platelets. Bone marrow contains mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells."

"text": "Exam 1 Review: Chapter 17: Leukocytes and Derivativesgranulocyte - Any of a group of white blood cells having many large granules in their cytoplasm and distinctive lobular (polymorphic) nuclei; three subgroups are recognized based on the staining properties of the granules: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.neutrophil = polymorphonuclear leukocyte - The most abundant type of granulocytic white blood cell (60-70% of total WBCs) which is the rapid responder to sites of injury and inflammation and is highly destructive of microorganisms, especially bacteria; its granules stain poorly and appear pale gray to lavender in typical blood stains; it is capable of phagocytosis and will participate in the removal of damaged tissues even in the absence of infection. Below are examples of the variation in neutrophils = polymorphonuclear leukocytes:eosinophil - The type of granulocytic white blood cell (2-4% of total WBCs), containing large cytoplasmic granules which are stained red by eosin or other acid dyes; it is capable of phagocytosis and participates primarily in immune responses against multicellular parasites (worms) and is also involved in certain hypersensitivities (allergies).basophil - The least abundant type of white blood cell (0.5-1.0% of total WBCs); a non-phagocytic granulocyte containing large cytoplasmic granules which are stained blue with basic dyes; the granules contain immune regulatory substances including heparin, histamine and serotonin; these cells resemble and may be developmentally related to tissue mast cells (tissue basophils).mast cell - A cell found widely dispersed in very low numbers in connective tissue which contains numerous large basophilic granules; the granules contain immune regulatory substances including heparin, histamine and serotonin which it releases in response to injury or inflammation of body tissues; it is also implicated in the symptoms of allergies; these cells resemble and may be developmentally related to blood basophils.agranulocyte - Any of a group of white blood cells having only a few small granules in their cytoplasm; two subgroups are recognized based on their size, the morphology of their cytoplasm and their distinctive nuclei: lymphocytes and monocytes.monocyte - The largest type of white blood cell (3-8% of total WBCs); a phagocytic agranulocyte, having a single well-defined, often kidney-bean shaped, nucleus and very fine granulation in the cytoplasm; they have long lifespans and when they emigrate into tissues they differentiate into various types of macrophages; they are slow responders to sites of injury and inflammation and are highly destructive of microorganisms.macrophage - Any of the large long-lived phagocytic cells derived from monocytes comprising a major component of the diffuse immune system (sometimes called the reticuloendothelial system or, more recently, the mononuclear phagocytic system); these phagocytes from different sites in different organs and tissues have somewhat different properties; in addition to contributing to the killing of microorganisms and tumor cells; they release immune regulatory substances and play a vital role in antigen-presentation leading to the production of antibodies by B lymphocytes and the activation of T lymphocytes.lymphocyte - The smallest type of white blood cell (20-25% of total WBCs); a non-phagocytic agranulocyte, having a single well-defined, round, darkly-staining nucleus and a thin rim of cytoplasm with very fine granulation; they have long lifespans and play diverse roles in immune responses; several developmental subgroups are recognized, differentiated by their maturation processes and by the differences in cell surface markers they express: B cells, which function in humoral immunity, and T cells, N (null) cells and NK (natural killer) cells, which function in cellular immunity and non-specific immunity; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs.plasma cell - Any of the antibody-secreting (immunoglobulin-secreting) cells found in lymphoid tissue, and in small numbers in blood, red bone marrow, and other connective tissues; they are derived from B lymphocytes = B cells in a complex process requiring lymphokine stimulation and reaction with a specific antigen, and usually the participation of antigen-presenting macrophages and T lymphocytes = T cells; they are larger than ordinary B lymphocytes, with more cytoplasm, an eccentric nucleus, and sometimes patch of pale cytoplasm near the nucleus which represents a faintly visible enlarged and active Golgi apparatus where the antibodies are being packaged for storage and secretion. B lymphocyte = B cell - A functional subclass of lymphocytes, originating and maturing in the bone marrow; identified by the specific cell surface markers they express; they function in humoral immunity; they make antibodies = immunoglobulins in a complex process requiring lymphokine stimulation and reaction with a specific antigens, and usually the participation of antigen-presenting macrophages and T lymphocytes = T cells; when actively involved in immune defense they may transform into plasma cells; any one B lymphocyte makes only one specific antibody; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs. T lymphocyte = T cell - A functional subclass of lymphocytes, originating in the bone marrow and and maturing in the thymus; identified by the specific cell surface markers they express; (they do not make antibodies = immunoglobulins); they function in cellular immunity; they orchestrates and regulate many of the immune system's responses; several functional subcategories are recognized including memory T cells, helper T cells, suppressor T cells, cytotoxic T cells, and delayed hypersensitivity T cells; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs.memory B cell - A functional subclass of B lymphocytes, which are produced after a B lymphocyte clone has become active in specific antibody = immunoglobulin production against a specific antigen; these cells are dormant during the initial response to antigen, but serve as rapid responders to any subsequent exposure of the individual to the specific antigen which was initially involved in their production; their presence insures that subsequent exposures to the specific antigen are met with a more rapid and powerful response; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs.memory T cell - A functional subclass of T lymphocytes, which are produced after a T lymphocyte clone has become active in some specific cell-mediated response against a specific antigen; these cells are dormant during the initial response to antigen, but serve as rapid responders to any subsequent exposure of the individual to the specific antigen which was initially involved in their production; their presence insures that subsequent exposures to the specific antigen are met with a more rapid and powerful response; the majority of these cells will be found in the bone marrow and the secondary lymphatic organs.fixed macrophage - Any monocyte-derived phagocyte which is stationary within connective tissue of a particular organ; it displays finger-like projections of its surface folds to permit contact with passing particles; it carries out a scavenging, phagocytic role at its site of tethering; examples include: Kuppfer cells -- livermicroglia -- central nervous systemalveolar macrophages -- alveolar walls in the lungspleural and peritoneal macrophages -- serous cavitiesosteoclasts -- bone Langerhans cells -- epidermiswandering macrophage - Any monocyte-derived scavenging phagocyte which leaves the blood and patrols through the tissues of the body; they respond slowly and migrate to injured, inflamed or infected tissue sites.

These are divided into two main classes Granulocytes (includes Neutrophils, Eosinophils and Basophils)Agranulocytes (includes Lymphocytes and Monocytes). This classification depends on whether granules can be distinguished in their cytoplasm using a light microscope and conventional staining methods). All the white blood cells are able to move like an amoeba, and can migrate out of blood vessels into the surrounding tissues. Note - it is easy to confuse the different leucocytes in blood smears. To identify them, you need to look for the shape of the nucleus, and compare their size, relative to that of a red blood cell. Once you have looked at the examples below - have a go for yourself - click here and see if you can identify the 'mystery' cells. Granulocytes: Neutrophils This shows a neutrophil in a blood smear. The neutrophils are 12-14 µm diameter, and so look bigger than the surrounding red blood cells."

"text": "Function Of Granulocytes Parent Category: Granulocytes Category: Introduction Granulocytes include neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic granulocytes. Together with monocytes, they make phagocytic lineage that normally originates in the bone marrow. We know much less about granulocytopoiesis than about erythrocytopoiesis, but we know that there is a negative feedback between the number of granulocytes in the circulation and granulocytic line in the bone marrow. NEUTROPHILIC GRANULOCYTE Neutrophilic granulocytes play important role in inflammation. They move through the capillary endothelium and come to the site of inflamation. Kinetic studies of neutrophilic granulocytes showed that there are two compartments in the bone marrow: mitotic (proliferative) and postmitotic (the maturation-storage) compartments. The mitotic compartment consists of 3 parts: myeloblastic, promyelocytic, and myelocytic; and the postmitotic one consists of 2 parts: metamyelocytic (mature compartment), and storage (stab and segmented granulocytes). Only stab granulocytes and mainly segmented granulocytes migrate to the peripheral blood. In the peripheral blood 50% of the granulocytes are located in the so-called marginated pool in the blood capillaries. Under the influence of specific factors (for instance, epinephrine, physical efforts) granulocytes move to the peripheral blood, and in this way the number of leukocytes may increase by 50% (this lasts only 10-15 minutes)."

LPG is typically at least 50 percent cheaper than other fuels, allowing you to recover the cost of an LPG installation in a relatively short time. For example, if LPG averaged 65 cents per litre, while unleaded petrol averaged $1.25 per litre, an average Commodore or Falcon travelling 15,000 kilometres per year would save around $24 per week on fuel. This amounts to approximately $1250 per year. A typical, straightforward LPG conversion can cost from $1,500 to $4,500 depending on the type of vehicle. Each vehicle will have different requirements, so drop into your local Repco Authorised Service for a tailored quote. When you bring your vehicle in for an LPG conversion and installation there is little that needs to be changed in the way of the car’s current structure but the following will be added;An LPG tank will be installed, either in the boot or under the car if there is enough clearance.

"text": "Installation of Systems Almost all unleaded petrol-fuelled vehicles can be converted to LPG (Autogas) at a reasonable cost. The first consideration of the installation is fuel storage. A special LPG tank must be fitted to the vehicle. These tanks are extremely strong and safe and can be fitted in place of the spare wheel or as a cylindrical tank in the boot. Loosing a modest amount of space is the only sacrifice required – compensated for by the many benefits you’ll enjoy from operating on dual fuel. An additional LPG filler is also fitted. Under the bonnet the fuel control system and associated electronics are fitted. On a late model vehicle (2003+) this is usually a new style Sequential Vapour Injection (SVI) system (e.g. our Lovato Easy Fast system). On vehicles (1990-2003) the traditional venturi system is fitted. Apart from physically fitting the components various connections also need to be made – into water pipes and fuel injectors – as applicable."

It is very likely that you, dear reader, have cruised the internet highways and byways looking for the answer, “Just how much is an LPG conversion going to cost”. In so doing you will have seen prices as far apart as £650 to £1700 for a 4 cylinder LPG conversion, and around £850 to £2000+ for an 8 cylinder vehicle. So why such disparity, is £1700 a rip off, or is £650 going to pay for monkeys to do your installation? Well, in all walks of life, You get what you pay for, and although £650 is a heck of a lot of money, its also as low a price as is possible for an LPG conversion. Rip off or monkey's? on occasion both can be found to be true, but here in LPG land, different companies approach LPG conversion in different ways, cheaper installations can be done by a swarm of technicians, who will crawl all over your vehicle and convert it in a single day and do a good job. You wont get the highest quality of equipment fitted to your car, attention to detail may not be as good as it could be and the time taken to set up your conversion and iron out any teething issues will probably be limited too. My problem with the bottom end of the market is that to achieve such low prices, corners can be cut, or less care taken due to time constraints that allow the conversion to return a profit for the installer."

Combi, System or Regular? Combi boilers are usually cheaper to install than System or Regular, as they are compact, all-in-one units, but they generally only suit smaller houses (1-2 beds) and flats. This is because they heat water on demand and struggle to provide hot water to multiple outlets at the same time. System and Regular boilers are more expensive to install as they require a separate storage tank and possibly a header tank, but this means they keep a constant store of hot water for larger homes with several bathrooms or lots of radiators. Central Heating Installation prices Installation prices will vary between installers but can cost anything from £1,000 – £8,000 depending on how much labour is needed, extra pipework, fuel storage etc. Natural gas boilers are the most popular in the UK and are usually the cheapest to install as they just need connecting to the existing gas supply."

In some ways they are almost or exactly the same. However, there are some important differences that you need to know. First, some short summary answers: Propane vs Butane Propane’s biggest advantage is a lower boiling temperature, at -42° vs -0.4°C for butane. So, propane will continue to vaporise – turn to gas – even in colder climates. Conversely, butane vapour pressure is about ¼ that of propane, which is advantageous for some propellant applications. Propane energy content is slightly higher by weight but lower by volume. What is Butane?"

"text": "What’s the difference between CNG, LNG, LPG and Hydrogen? The following is a brief summary highlighting the main differences of these fuels. Much more comprehensive details of the fuel properties and compositions is available from other web sources and online databases. Compressed Natural Gas or CNG is stored on the vehicle in high-pressure tanks - 20 to 25 MPa (200 to 250 bar, or 3,000 to 3,600 psi). Natural gas consists mostly of methane and is drawn from gas wells or in conjunction with crude oil production. As delivered through the pipeline system, it also contains hydrocarbons such as ethane and propane as well as other gases such as nitrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, sulphur compounds, and water vapour. A sulphur-based odourant is normally added to CNG to facilitate leak detection. Natural gas is lighter than air and thus will normally dissipate in the case of a leak, giving it a significant safety advantage over gasoline or LPG. Liquefied Natural Gas or LNG is natural gas stored as a super-cooled (cryogenic) liquid. The temperature required to condense natural gas depends on its precise composition, but it is typically between -120 and -170°C (-184 and –274°F)."

"text": "While natural gas occurs in nature as a mixture of methane and other gases, propane is actually a byproduct of both petroleum refining and natural gas processing. Natural gas must be cleaned before being used, and byproducts of this process include hydrocarbons like propane in addition to butane, ethane, and pentane. The difference between propane and natural gas in domestic use comes down to their energy efficiency, cost, compression, storage, and risk factors. There is very little difference, however, when it comes to how well they perform in appliances for heating, cooking, or drying. Energy vs. Cost Propane provides more energy per unit of volume than does natural gas. While propane is usually measured in gallons (or liters), natural gas is found in cubic feet (or cubic meters). Heat is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs), which is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of 1 pound (0.5 kg) of water by 1°F (0.56°C). When the amount of energy each produces is compared, both are measured in their gaseous form. Natural gas provides just over 1,000 BTUs per cubic foot (0.0283 cubic meters); the same volume of propane in gaseous form provides about 2,500 BTUs. This means that propane contains about 2.5 times more usable energy content."

LPG-fueled vehicles can produce significantly lower amounts of some harmful emissions and the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). LPG is usually less expensive than gasoline, it can be used without degrading vehicle performance, and most LPG used in U. S. comes from domestic sources. The availability of LPG-fueled light-duty passenger vehicles is currently limited. A few light-duty vehicles—mostly larger trucks and vans—can be ordered from a dealer with a prep-ready engine package and converted to use propane. Existing conventional vehicles can also be converted for LPG use.

Depending on the area you live in, you may be able to choose from oil, gas or electricity to find the most economical and reliable option for you. With energy prices increasing each year, and these price rises looking set to continue, it’s more important than ever to choose an efficient way to heat our homes. Modern central heating can save lots of money on monthly fuel bills compared to older, less efficient options. Different Types of Central Heating Gas Central Heating Gas-fired central heating is usually the cheapest option available in most parts of the country, however, your property must be connected to the national gas grid. Some homes in the UK, particularly in rural areas, are not connected to the gas grid, so gas is not an option. Despite this, the majority of homes are connected, and as a result, gas central heating is the most commonly used heating system in the country. Gas central heating is known as a ‘wet system’, which means that a gas boiler heats water through radiators and hot water through taps throughout the home. The average annual costs for gas central heating and hot water in a three bedroom, semi-detached well insulated house are approximately £770 for condensing boilers and £947 for old non-condensing boilers. The advantages of gas central heating include a good return on energy units, high efficiency and no need to store any fuel at your property."

Blue diamond symbol used on CNG-powered vehicles in North America Green bordered white diamond symbol used on CNG-powered vehicles in China Compressed natural gas ( CNG) (methane stored at high pressure) is a fuel which can be used in place of gasoline (petrol), Diesel fuel and propane / LPG. CNG combustion produces fewer undesirable gases than the fuels mentioned above. It is safer than other fuels in the event of a spill, because natural gas is lighter than air and disperses quickly when released. CNG may be found above oil deposits, or may be collected from landfills or wastewater treatment plants where it is known as biogas. CNG is made by compressing natural gas (which is mainly composed of methane, CH 4 ), to less than 1 percent of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure. It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 MPa (2,900–3,600 psi), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes. CNG is used in traditional gasoline/ internal combustion engine automobiles that have been modified or in vehicles which were manufactured for CNG use, either alone ('dedicated'), with a segregated gasoline system to extend range (dual fuel) or in conjunction with another fuel such as diesel (bi-fuel). Natural gas vehicles are increasingly used in Iran, especially Pakistan, [1] the Asia-Pacific region, Indian capital of Delhi, and other large cities like Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata —as well as cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, etc."

Answered Aug 26, 2015 · Author has 6.8k answers and 6.3m answer views If you want to have the convenience of having someone change your oil, I would rather go to my regular mechanic for the job as part of any routine maintenance. Usually they will cut you a package deal for maintenance needed. The problem is not that Jiffy Lube can't or won't do a good job, but there are inconsistencies in the level and quality of service provided. By going to your regular mechanic (not the dealer, because all of the required maintenance to keep the warranty in effect can be provided by any qualified mechanic.) Spend the extra money on good quality synthetic oil, and do the oil changes at the specified intervals, either mileage or time. Your relationship with your mechanic ensures that your service will be consistent and of good quality. This is just like when you need to change your water pump, your mechanic will probably also recommend changing the serpentine valve drive belt as well, since if you don't and the belt goes bad or breaks later, a dropped valve can cause VERY expensive damage. Listen to your mechanic, as he wants to keep you as a customer over the long term. I used to rebuild all my car engines, but things have changed so much in 50 years that the cost of the equipment needed to service a car can cost as much as the car did."

"text": "Home > Products > Vertical Lube Oil Pumps (Model VCRE)Vertical Lube Oil Pumps (Model VCRE)Lube oil pumping applications demand a pump that provides reliability and extended service life with a minimum of maintenance. The typical Lube Oil pump must also be capable of operation over a wide range of temperature and liquid viscosity conditions. The VCRE family of pumps is designed specifically with these requirements in mind. The VCRE lube oil pump is a vertically submerged pump that utilizes an ANSI standard hydraulic construction, enclosed bearing housing, and welded piping construction which eliminates the inherent maintenance and leakage problems associated with other pumps. During operation, axial and radial thrust loads are controlled by Buffalo’s exclusive modified casing volute and impeller design.is backed by extensive field-proven experience in designing pumps to handle any lube oil application. This experience also provides flexibility in assisting OEM’s contractors and end-users in designing a sound installation that ensures maximum life. Our on-site lube oil test tank gives the ability to simulate field conditions in order to properly select VCRE pumps for the critical applications they are installed in. The lube oil test tank also allows for performance verification of any vertical lube oil pump if desired. The VCRE pump design has been a mainstay in the power generation industry for over 60 years. Our robust design on these vertical pumps has allowed for them to be implemented on various skid designs with several different turbine manufacturers."

PDAView Full Version : Have you been advised to replace oil pan gasket?spingears 05-18-2004, 04:55 PMMy grandson took his late model car to a fast lube service, had the oil changed, paid the charges, Next he went to a well known tire and service operation for \"\"Free\"\" tire rotation since the tires were purchased there. He was advised that the radiator was in need of flushing and antifreeze replaced (about $150 or so) and that the oil pan gasket needed to be replaced (est. $300). His mom told them to do the anti-freeze but not the gasket. He crawled under the car and could not find any indication of oil leakage. Also no history of unusual oil consumption. Question: Is this a scam and is it common practice with some service managers? Inigo Montoya 05-18-2004, 05:09 PMIf he ain't got no oil spots where he parks his car then he don't need no stinkin' gasket. And if he does need a gasket he can probably do it himself if he can handle the modern technological marvel know to you and me as...the ratchet."

I am not ASE certified so the mechanics job isn't something I am looking into. However, the lube tech job seems promising although there wasn't a job description. I am pretty good at mechanics I learn and like it, but I am not an expert by any means. I emailed the manager and he talked a bit. I impressed it upon him that I wanted a face to face and sent my resume. I need to call and schedule an interview for later this week. Just curious as to what type of pay scale I would be looking at roughly, and what type of stuff I may be doing."

CONCLUSIONINTRODUCTIONViscosity is the measure of the internal friction in a liquid or the resistance to a flow. Low viscosity fluids flow easily (water, alcohol); High viscosity fluids pour slowly (molasses, cold honey, etc.). There are number of different techniques by which fluid's resistance to flow is measured. Because Viscosity changes with temperature and sometimes also with pressure, it is also important that when different fluids are compared that the measurements were conducted under the same temperature and pressure conditions. The common metric unit of absolute viscosity is the poise. For convenience, the Centi Poise (c P) [one one-hundredth of a poise] is the unit customarily used. Laboratory measurements of viscosity normally use the force of gravity to produce flow through a capillary tube ( viscometer) at a controlled temperature. This measurement is called kinematic viscosity . The more customary unit is the centistoke (c St) [one one-hundredth of a stoke]. VISCOSITY - General We are accustomed to the notion of friction as a force that is exerted opposite to that which brings about motion when one solid moves in contact with another."

"text": "\"06-16-2010, 12:05 AM # 1 ( permalink )ptsb5a Member Join Date: Mar 2006Location: Northern Alberta, Canada Age: 46Posts: 2,446HOW TO: Driver's side axle seal replacement OK, seeing as some of you wanted an axle seal how to, here it is... First off, secure your KJ on a hoist/lift or stands. I'm lucky to be a member of a local off-road club and have access to a really well equiped shop. Housing prices here are retarded and I couldn't afford to live in a house with a garage and eat at the same time. Besides, it's a nice place to keep my tools. Start the disassemble process, remove the wheel, brake caliper, brake pads, brake caliper retaining bracket, and the rotor. Remember to keep the rotor and pads away from grease and oil. I kept them on some thick paper shop towels away from the rest of my pile of stuff. Don't lose the wee anti rattle clips either, they're not cheap!! Remove the upper ball joint nut (1 1/16\"\"), lower ball joint nut (22mm), tie rod end nut (21mm), clevis bolts upper and lower (21mm) and the 36mm axle nut. You may have to pull out the BFH (big F****** hammer) and massage the steering knuckle a little to break the ball joints free."

"text": "Auto Laundry News - February 2011Car Wash/Fast Lube — Does the Combination Still Make Sense? By Robert Roman Figure 1 - Car Wash and Fast-Lube Facility The fast-lube industry in the United States consists of about 10,000 retail outlets producing over 100 million oil changes annually. The industry’s largest franchisor is Jiffy Lube, which operates about 2,000 branded retail stores nationwide. Valvoline is the next largest with about 590 “Instant Oil Change” branded stores. A fast lube is a facility that performs oil changes and other preventive maintenance services on motor vehicles. The prototypical store has a three-bay drive-through building with a basement so work under the vehicle and hood can be performed at the same time. The basic oil change service takes about 10 to 15 minutes and includes checking other fluids under the hood and, in some cases, performing a safety check, vacuuming the interior, and cleaning the windows. The price for a basic fast-lube service at a car wash is about $34. Like other relatively mature markets, the fast-lube industry is experiencing some decline in store counts, and larger firms are gobbling up smaller ones. In light of slower growth, rising operating expenses, and extended oil-change intervals, majors have redesigned and scaled down their standard building."

"text": "\"Cost Helper > Cars > Radiator Flush Radiator Flush Cost How Much Does a Radiator Flush Cost? Do-It-Yourself: $10-$50 Professionally Done: $40-$200E-mail Post Tweet Comments (40)A key part of a car's cooling system, a radiator is a sophisticated reservoir device that holds a mixture of water and antifreeze fluid (also called coolant); the radiator keeps the engine from overheating and in many cases it also cools the automatic transmission fluid. Rust and other deposits can form inside the radiator, which needs to be clean to be cool. Flushing the radiator is intended to remove built-up debris and to replace contaminated fluid. Typical costs: Expect to pay $40-$200 to have a radiator flushed, depending on the age, make and model of the vehicle; the recommended type and amount of coolant needed; and whether the work is done by a standard tire, muffler, oil-and-lube or auto repair shop, or by a car dealership, which tend to be slightly more expensive. Cost Helper readers report paying $54-$144 for a radiator flush at a standard shop, at an average cost of $99; and $70-$175 at a dealership, for an average cost of $109. Do-it-yourself supplies can cost $10-$50, depending on what is included. For example, a radiator flush kit [ 1] with clamps and garden hose adapters can cost $1-$15; a bottle of radiator cleaner [ 2] can cost $3-$25 for a 16-34-ounce bottle; and it can cost $10-$30 a gallon for standard antifreeze/coolant (typically green or red) or $15-$40 a gallon for super-long-life antifreeze with a rust/corrosion inhibitor (this coolant is typically orange). Cost Helper readers report do-it-yourself radiator flush costs of $13-$34, with an average of $21. Related articles: Radiator, Tune-up, Wheel Alignment, Oil Change, Flushing a Transmission, Replacing a Water Pump What should be included: During a radiator flush, the original coolant is drained and replaced with a special coolant/detergent mixture and fresh water; this is then drained and replaced with a standard mixture of coolant and water."

S.) law that originally related to illegal trade in wildlife. In 2008, amendments to the U. S. Lacey Act were passed. Effective 22 May 2008, the law makes it illegal to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire, or purchase in interstate or foreign commerce any plant, with some limited exceptions, taken or traded in violation of the laws of the U. S., a U. S. State, or relevant foreign law. The U. S. government can use this law to impose significant penalties on individuals and companies who are found guilty of such acts. This new law, and the new import declaration it requires, will affect manufacturers and exporters who ship a variety of products made from wood to the U. S., including paper, furniture, lumber, flooring, plywood and other products made out of wood. The ban on illegal timber as defined in the Lacey Act amendments has not been supported by a clear framework of regulation that sets guidelines for importers, exporters and traders. However, it is suggested that operators exhibit due care and implement due diligence systems in order to minimize the risk of illegal wood entering supply chains.

"text": "\"How did triangular trade affect colonial economies? U. S. History Pre-Colonial and Colonial Life Early Passage to America1 Answer28Rory Share Oct 20, 2016Answer: Triangular trade increased the demand for both land and slave labor. Explanation: Triangular Trade refers to the trade between Europe, Africa, and North America over the Atlantic Ocean. Each continent had a different good that they typically supplied: American Colonies: The English colonies supplied lots of natural resources, such as tobacco, lumber, sugar, etc. They bought lots of slave labor. Europe: The European countries bought the natural resources from North America to manufacture goods (guns, clothes, furniture, etc). They supplied most of the manufactured goods. Africa: West African leaders would trade slaves from inland to traders in exchange for European goods. A trader could start in North America, picking up lumber, tobacco, and other natural resources and sell them to Europe while picking up manufactured goods. Then, they would sail down to Africa, trade the goods for slaves."

The Puritans no longer felt they had safety for themselves or their religion in England, so the Massachusetts Bay Company was formed to establish the Massachusetts Bay Colony for the Puritans to start a new life.

We are proud to call Wausau our home!It was the Wisconsin River that first drew settlers to this area originally known as \"\"Big Bull Falls\"\", either named by Indians or early fur traders. An 1836 treaty transferring land along the Wisconsin River from the Indians to federal ownership sent George Stevens’ lumbermen up the river two years later to find suitable places for turning the pine forests into lumber. \"\" It is decidedly the best Mill Site I ever saw or heard of in the Union\"\" wrote George Stevens after reaching Big Bull Falls in the Summer of 1839. Nonetheless he was very excited when he wrote his partner George Morton in St. Louis about the site and its possibilities. By 1840, the Stevens sawmill was processing the pine forests into lumber. It was not long before other mills began springing up along the riverbanks of central Wisconsin."

"text": "\"The region that is now Wisconsin has probably been inhabited since the end of the glacial period, 10,000 years ago. Some of the earliest inhabitants were ancestors of the Menominee; these early immigrants from the north built burial mounds, conical ones at first, then large effigy mounds shaped like different animals. Other peoples arrived from the south and east, including ancestors of the Winnebago Indians (about AD 1400) and a tribe that built flat-top earthen pyramids. During the 17th century, the Ojibwa, Sauk, Fox, Potawatomi, Kickapoo, and other tribes came to Wisconsin. These tribes engaged in agriculture, hunting, and fishing, but with the arrival of Europeans, they became increasingly dependent on the fur trade—a dependence that had serious economic consequences when the fur trade declined in the early 19th century. The first European believed to have reached Wisconsin was Jean Nicolet, who in 1634 landed on the shores of Green Bay while in the service of Samuel de Champlain. Two decades later, Médard Chouart des Groseilliers and Pierre Esprit Radisson, both fur traders, explored northern Wisconsin; in 1673, the Jesuit priest Jacques Marquette and the explorer Louis Jolliet crossed the whole area that is now Wisconsin, via the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, on their way to the Mississippi. Other Jesuits established missions, and French fur traders opened up posts. The French were succeeded by the British after the French and Indian War (the British ruled Wisconsin as part of Quebec Province from 1774 to 1783). Although ceded to the US in 1783, it remained British in all but name until 1816, when the US built forts at Prairie du Chien and Green Bay."

"text": "Where does the word “lumber” come from and What does lumber mean? June 1, 2014 by Karen Hill | Filed Under: Language Originally, the Lombards were a Teutonic people whose earlier name, Langobardi, long beards, was traditionally derived from the appearance, before the god Wotan, of their women with their hair combed over their faces. Startled, as he awoke from sleep, Wotan asked, “Who are the longbeards (longobardi)?”They were a warlike tribe, and in the year A. D. 568, with their families and possessions, moved south Ward into Italy where they occupied the plains at the head of the’,,Adriatic, a region that became known as Lombardy. In the fourteenth century, enterprising traders and merchants from Milan and other parts of Lombardy (see also MILLINERY), found it profitable to move westward into England. There, through ingenuity, they became bankers, money-changers, moneylenders, or pawnbrokers. The three golden balls, still marking a pawnbroker’s establishment, are from the coat of arms of the Medici family, long the chief family of Lombardy. They were so successful in these various enterprises, which then did not greatly differ, that the establishments themselves were popularly called “Lombards. ”From the various spellings employed in the early days, however, the name was usually pronounced lumbard or lumber. The latter became not only the usual pronunciation but also the usual designation of a Lombard pawnbroking establishment, sometimes also called lumber-house. Thence, because articles placed in pawn often consist of furniture or other cumbersome items that take up space, lumber assumed the meaning, “disused household furnishings.”"

Some useful background terminology is provided so future purchases of lumber can be done as painlessly as possible. Commercial lumber grades for the most part can be broken down to a basic range that should tell you everything that you need to know in order to purchase the quality you need for the project at hand. To put the various grades in perspective, it might be helpful to have some grounding in certain lumber terms that are taken into account when grading lumber. Wane is a bark-like build-up on the size of a piece of lumber. It is literally where a tree branched off. Wane does not really become a factor, providing the surface affected will not be exposed. Wane becomes a factor when where the lumber will be nailed will be affected. Splits are as the name implies; small cracks that can splinter and break off, usually located at the end of the lumber. Knots are also obviously a factor used when grading and selecting lumber."

"text": "Village Types Home › Villages › Village Types A lot of players would think that building every type of city is the way to go, but this is essentially not true. Here are multiple reasons for this. For one you would have to research every different kind of tech in order to get full production in every city. You may think also that having every type of city will allow you to banquet easier, but you will still have to transport all the different kinds of banqueting goods to one village taking up time. Its best to just focus on a few different kinds of villages or even just build only one kind of village. Lowland Village Space Medium Castle Natural Defences None Production Bonus to None Available Food Apples Cheese Meat Bread Vegetables Available Resources Lumber Stone Iron Available Honour Goods Venison Furniture Metalware Clothes A balanced location with plenty of usable space and no drawbacks The lowland village is probably the best village type to use. It is the default village type you start off with meaning you won’t have to convert it. The main reason it is so good is the fact that it has a large amount of lumber, stone and a decent amount of iron meaning you can make enough to keep building in your village as well as produce a lot of weapons. The other main reason it is such a good choice is the fact that you can make 5 different kinds of food in this village allowing you to run high rations all day long while getting a ton of honour and it also allows you to regenerate your population quickly when you use a lot of your population training troops. I would recommend sticking with this village layout for all your villages if you really want to create a very strong presence in stronghold kingdoms."

"text": "\"Maximizing Lumber from a Log Can quartersawing produce as much usable lumber as one company claims? January 29, 2004Question I read on the website of a company that specializes in quartersawn lumber that they actually get more usable lumber from the log, and also a higher percentage of higher grade lumber. This is contrary to what I have read elsewhere. What do you think? Forum Responses (Sawing and Drying Forum) From contributor R: They must be buying Veneer Grade Logs, high yield but expensive. Just a guess. From Gene Wengert, forum technical advisor: I am highly dubious that they can do what you stated. Please let us read their web site info. From the original questioner: This is the company: http://www.frankmiller.com/fm_framset.htm From contributor S: It seems that all they're saying is that they use the whole log for lumber. In a way, it makes sense since if you were sawing for grade (sawing around the log), you would stop pulling boards once you got down to the #2 common stuff in the center."

With that in mind, we’re creating a new feature on the Pure Michigan Connect blog where we will tell the story of how five Michigan cities earned their names. Check out the first five below and look for more in the coming weeks. Detroit: Let’s start with Detroit, the city with the most Michiganders and one of the oldest cities in the Midwest. The city is named after the Detroit River, which links Lake Huron and Lake Erie. The word “ detroit ” is French for “strait,” and the French called the river “le détroit du Lac Érié,\"\" meaning “the strait of Lake Erie.” On July 24, 1701, a French explorer and nobleman by the name of Antoine de la Mothe, sieur de Cadillac founded Detroit. Check out the Detroit Fall Beer Festival on October 22 at Eastern Market, which will feature more than 40 Michigan craft breweries offering more than 200 different beers for sampling throughout the day. Mackinac Island: Like many historic places in the Great Lakes region, Mackinac Island's name derives from a Native American language."

"text": "The reasons for investing in natural resources have always been strong. Whether it's lumber, coal or gold, natural resources are at the core of production. The screen you are using to read this article is just a collection of natural resources that have been processed and reprocessed. The pool of investable natural resources is growing as the world population requires more and more of these resources. In this article, we'll look at why you might want to consider natural resource investing and how you can go about it. SEE: Mine For Profits With Natural Resource Sector Funds The Scope of Natural Resource Investing Natural resource investing has a wide scope that covers anything that is mined or collected in raw form. From its raw form, the natural resources may go through further processing - cutting a tree into 4x4s, 2x10s, 2x4s and so on - or simply cleaned up, packaged and sold (a barrel of oil or a bottle of water). So, natural resource investing overlaps with more specialized types of investing, including oil and gas investing, precious metals investing, minerals and (base) metals investing and so on. If it is mined, cut or collected from above or beneath the earth's crust, then natural resource investors look for a way to buy in. One caveat, though."

"text": "\"Three Worlds, Three Views: Culture and Environmental Change in the Colonial South Timothy Silver Appalachian State University ©National Humanities Center For nearly three hundred years before the American Revolution, the colonial South was a kaleidoscope of different people and cultures. Yet all residents of the region shared two important traits. First, they lived and worked in a natural environment unlike any other in the American colonies. Second, like humans everywhere, their presence on the landscape had profound implications for the natural world. Exploring the ecological transformation of the colonial South offers an opportunity to examine the ways in which three distinct cultures—Native American, European, and African—influenced and shaped the environment in a fascinating part of North America. The Native American World Like natives elsewhere in North America, those in the South practiced shifting seasonal subsistence, altering their diets and food gathering techniques to conform to the changing seasons. In spring, a season which brought massive runs of shad, alewives, herring, and mullet from the ocean into the rivers, Indians in Florida and elsewhere along the Atlantic coastal plain relied on fish taken with nets, spears, or hooks and lines. In autumn and winter—especially in the piedmont and uplands—the natives turned more to deer, bear, and other game animals for sustenance. Because they required game animals in quantity, Indians often set light ground fires to create brushy edge habitats and open areas in southern forests that attracted deer and other animals to well-defined hunting grounds. The natives also used fire to drive deer and other game into areas where the animals might be easily dispatched."

Here’s how they compare. What do these lumber fractions mean? 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4, 10/4, 12/4In short, these fractions are the names for the thickness of hardwood lumber. The thickness is expressed as a fraction, and goes in increments of quarters of an inch. However, this fraction is more of a name than it is a precise measurement. It tells you approximately how thick the lumber actually is. Why those funny fractions?"

"text": "DEFINITION of 'Commodity Trader'A commodity trader focuses on investing in physical substances like oil and gold. Most often these traders are dealing in raw materials used at the beginning of the production value chain such as copper for construction or grains for animal feed. These traders take positions based on forecasted economic trends or arbitrage opportunities in the commodity markets. Oil and gold are two of the most common traded commodities, but markets exist for cotton, wheat, sugar, cattle, pork bellies, lumber, silver and other precious metals. Next Up Commodity Market Commodity Index Commodity Price Risk Long The Basis BREAKING DOWN 'Commodity Trader'There are several different types of commodity traders in the market. Some operate independently, trading on major exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange. Others work for large commodity producers such as the international oil companies. The job of these traders is to secure the best price for the producer while simultaneously supplying competitive bids to customers. Still other commodity traders work solely as broker-dealers. These traders tend to work for large independent companies such as Vitol or Trafigura, creating a deep and liquid international commodity market."

"text": "Basic Facts About Canada Lynx The Canada lynx ( Lynx canadensis) is a medium-sized cat characterized by its long ear tufts, flared facial ruff, and short, bobbed tail with a completely black tip. It has unusually large paws that act like snowshoes in very deep snow, thick fur and long legs, and its hind legs are longer than its front legs, giving lynx a stooped appearance. Canada lynx look similar to bobcats, but there are some distinguishing features: bobcats have shorter tufts on their ears, the tip of their tail is black on top and white underneath, and bobcats have shorter legs and smaller feet than lynx. Perhaps the biggest distinction is that lynx mostly occur only in northern states along the Canadian border or in mountainous regions, while bobcats range across almost the entire Lower 48 states. Did You Know? Lynx have excellent eyesight: they can spot a mouse at 250 feet! Also, the black tufts of hair at the tops of their ears serve to enhance their already phenomenal hearing. Lynx, like other forest hunters, play an important ecological role. As a mid-size carnivore, lynx target smaller prey species that reproduce relatively quickly. They also require a mixed habitat that includes younger forests with thick vegetation for hunting small prey, and older forests with a full canopy and good cover for denning."

Unlike its parent breeds the Persian and the Siamese, which are considered natural breeds, meaning they weren’t created through human intervention, the Himalayan is a man-made breed developed by crossing Persians with Siamese to bring in the color points and blue eyes of the Siamese. Breeders began to work toward this goal in 1931, at first simply to determine how the colorpoint gene was passed on. Through selective breeding over a period of years, cat breeder Virginia Cobb and Harvard Medical School researcher Clyde Keeler developed longhaired cats with the distinctive colorpoints of the Siamese. The first kitten to be called a Himalayan was named Newton’s Debutante. In the 1950s, British and North American breeders became interested in achieving a Siamese-pointed Persian. Starting with the Cobb-Keeler “recipe” to get the colorpoint pattern, they then bred the cats back to Persians to establish breed type. Once the cats bred true, recognition as a breed was sought. Whether he is considered a variety of Persian or a distinct breed depends on which cat association you talk to."

Size and Appearance: The Bobcat is a medium sized cat with a ruff of fur around the sides of the face. They weigh between 13-30 pounds, stand 21 inches high and are 30-50 inches long. The bobcats in the North tend to be larger than those in the south. Their coat color varies and has been recorded in shades of light gray, yellowish-brown, buff-brown, and reddish-brown. They are always spotted to some extent, with some patterned only on the undersides, and others having spots on the sides and chest backs too. The southern Bobcats seem to have a more spotted coat, with the spots being much smaller than the northern cats. Both melanistic and albinistic Bobcats have been reported, but the melanistic ones have only occurred in Florida. They are often confused with their larger feline cousin the Lynx, but can be easily distinguished by their tail tips."

"text": "\"Javanese (Balinese Lynx Point)The Balinese breed, like that of the Siamese, also comes in additional colors outside the primary colors of seal, blue, chocolate, and lilac. Lynx points, or what I like to call them, \"\"Wildcat Points\"\", are very beautiful and exotic in both color and in design. They come in the four primary pointed colors but have stripes. This added touch makes them look as if they are straight from the wild, resembling a wild lynx cat or white Siberian tiger. The lynx point Balinese cat is also classified as a separate breed in itself due to how they aren't considered a natural color of the Siamese/Balinese, and they're mainly specified as Javanese; the sister island of the Balinese island, because of their close proximity to each other. The reason for this is to separate the actual lines that created the lynx point design from the original points seen normally in the Balinese breed. This doesn't mean that lynx pointed Balinese are not purebred, as this cross took place many generations ago, but it also assures the difference between those lines where the Siamese/Balinese bloodline has been established to also produce these lynx pointed Siamese/Balinese. Javanese (Balinese Lynx Point) History Lynx points were first seen in many other cat breeds by the efforts of past cat fanciers who wanted to produce additional colors and designs in future litters. With this in mind, they wanted to pass on the genetic features of the “tabby” or lynx point design to other breeds to obtain the stripes that would otherwise be impossible to obtain. The lynx point design in the Siamese and Balinese breed comes from the previous breedings of a purebred Balinese/Siamese cat with a tabby house cat or a colorpoint shothair, meaning a Siamese crossed with a tabby cat."

"text": "2015 Arctic Cat Lynx 2000 LT Review Story by Jerry Bassett Photos by Bassett Archives & Arctic Cat Jun. 17, 2014Share Comments This fan-cooled touring sled is a great value for two As snowmobilers, once we see a sled listed as a “value” model, we almost automatically write it off our list as a nice-to-have sled. We suggest that you not be too quick to dismiss the 2015 Arctic Cat Lynx 2000 LT if you are looking for a solid two-passenger carrying snowmobile. At a suggested retail price of US$6,999, the Lynx can fool you into thinking that its only redeeming value is its price. Price is a good place to start as the Lynx 2000 LT retails for thousands less than the all-new Pantera 7000 Touring, Cat’s next step up in its trail touring, passenger carrying models. Obviously those extra dollars for the Pantera get you an all-new model with a much more powerful Yamaha three cylinder, four-stroke engine. Don’t despair; the Lynx 2000 LT is very impressive in its own right. Well, mostly!With dual 34mm carburetors and Arctic Cat’s Diamond Drive, the 2015 Lynx 2000 LT is built on Cat’s Twin Spar chassis, making it a reliable and nimble two-up touring sled. The only weak point we see is the 565cc fan-cooled two-stroke engine. It’s perfectly adequate, but at its claimed 65 hp rating, it pales compared to the next available engine series, Cat’s 5000 C-TEC4 with a claimed 125 hp. So, what can you expect with the Suzuki-built two-stroke twin?"

"text": "\"Lynx Canada Lynx ‘Girl Group’ Goes On-Exhibit July 24, 2017The four female Canada Lynx kittens, at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, have been named and officially moved into their Rocky Mountain Wild exhibit on July 19. The fuzzy headed litter was a Zoo Borns feature back in mid-June: “ Meet Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s Canada Lynx Kittens ”. They have been with their mother in an off-exhibit area since their birth on May 6, and now the kittens and ten-year-old mom, Migina, will join dad, Kajika (also ten-years-old) in the main exhibit. Keepers reported that the litter “howdied” with dad Kajika multiple times prior to being moved on-exhibit. The Zoo defines “howdied” as: a process where they can see and smell each other with a mesh barrier in between them. The kittens and Kajika were said to be curious about each other and vocalized back and forth. They have also sniffed each other’s paws and rubbed up against the mesh. Zookeepers said these were all good signs that the Lynx family was ready to be together in their public exhibit. Because Lynx are often called “ghost cats”, due to their nearly-noiseless nature (thanks to heavily-padded paws and light frames), Cheyenne Mountain Zoo employees recently voted to name the kittens based on famous Colorado ghost towns. The kittens have been named: Adelaide (Lake County), Norrie (Pitkin County), Frisco (Summit County), and Aspen (as in the famous tree)."

It includes equipment to protect 3 entry points, a motion sensor to cover a room, a remote key fob and the Lynx Touch control panel for controlling it all. It is a wireless system so there is no need to run wires through the walls for the devices to communicate. Installation can be a bit more involved than other kits as it is not plug and play and you need to get the control panel to “learn” the sensors and remote. But most find this doable it just takes time and patience. Also, you do need to separately buy a cable to run between the transformer andthe control panel. To monitor this system it needs to be connected to your landline or it can work with some VOIP such as Vonage. There are additional components that can be bought separately and installed inside the control panel to communicate over the internet or over the Alarm Net cellular network. To self-monitor you are most likely going to need to pay a monthly fee but because you have installed yourself you have a choice of providers you can work with to get the best price and service with some offering the service on a month by month basis.

"text": "Basic Facts About Canada Lynx The Canada lynx ( Lynx canadensis) is a medium-sized cat characterized by its long ear tufts, flared facial ruff, and short, bobbed tail with a completely black tip. It has unusually large paws that act like snowshoes in very deep snow, thick fur and long legs, and its hind legs are longer than its front legs, giving lynx a stooped appearance. Canada lynx look similar to bobcats, but there are some distinguishing features: bobcats have shorter tufts on their ears, the tip of their tail is black on top and white underneath, and bobcats have shorter legs and smaller feet than lynx. Perhaps the biggest distinction is that lynx mostly occur only in northern states along the Canadian border or in mountainous regions, while bobcats range across almost the entire Lower 48 states. Did You Know? Lynx have excellent eyesight: they can spot a mouse at 250 feet! Also, the black tufts of hair at the tops of their ears serve to enhance their already phenomenal hearing. Lynx, like other forest hunters, play an important ecological role. As a mid-size carnivore, lynx target smaller prey species that reproduce relatively quickly. They also require a mixed habitat that includes younger forests with thick vegetation for hunting small prey, and older forests with a full canopy and good cover for denning."

Explanation: In general, biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem and are sorted into three groups: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposers or detritivores. Examples of biotic factors include: Grass as producers (autotrophs). Mouse, deer, and owl as consumers (heterotrophs). And earthworms as decomposers (detritivores).

The age range is wide and heavily debated. Some teachers say a child should start pointe work at eight, others twelve, and still others even older or younger. But how do you know the right answer for your child, your student or yourself? One of the major considerations is bone ossification, which is the natural process where soft tissue hardens or calcifies to form bonelike material. There is wide and very well documented research on bone ossification. At ages 10-11 the ossification of the bones of the feet, in girls, is normally only 50-60% complete. By age 11½-12 it is approximately 75% complete, and by age 13-14 the fusion is usually at 100%. But, the development of the bones in the feet continues up until 20-25 years of age."

In villages and towns around the world, dancing has always been a form of entertainment and celebration and, in many instances, helped to mark religious occasions. Dance evolved over the centuries, achieving great heights during the Renaissance when theatrical, rather than social, dancing took shape through the introduction of the ballo. This was an Italian form of entertainment in which simple country dances were adopted by the nobility and executed by the men and women of the court. When Catherine de Medici of Italy married Henry II of France in the 15th century, she brought the ballo tradition with her to France. Ballet was born during the 16th century as Medici devised the ballet de cour entertainment at court in which courtiers danced, sang, recited dialogues and mimed or gestured to an accompaniment of instrumental music. The first ballet that told a story through dancing was Le Ballet Comique de la Reine, which was presented at the French court in 1581. This type of entertainment became so popular that the members of the nobility all acquired dancing masters to give them lessons in ballet. In the 17th century, King Louis XIV of France, known as the Sun King, not only greatly admired ballet spectacles but participated in them. He had his own private dance master and he founded the first dance academy in Paris in 1661."

What do dancers do when they aren't on stage? When not on stage, dancers take daily ballet technique classes and rehearse for upcoming or current programs. A typical day of work for a dancer starts early with an hour and half class to warm up and refine their technique. Class is followed by four to six hours of rehearsals, sometimes followed by an evening performance. Dancers also get 1-2 days off a week where they are found doing normal activities just like you and me (grocery shopping, laundry, a stroll through the park, stuck in Atlanta traffic or capturing a movie or two).

Classical ballet is any of the traditional, formal styles of ballet that exclusively employ classical ballet technique. It is known for its aesthetics and rigorous technique (such as pointe work, turnout of the legs, and high extensions), its flowing, precise movements, and its ethereal qualities. There are stylistic variations related to an area or origin, which are denoted by classifications such as Russian ballet, French ballet, British ballet and Italian ballet. For example, Russian ballet features high extensions and dynamic turns, whereas Italian ballet tends to be more grounded, with a focus on fast, intricate footwork. Many of the stylistic variations are associated with specific training methods that have been named after their originators.

It's challenging for the dancer and entertaining for the audience, but the dance has changed a lot over the centuries. History of the Can Can What dancers now call the Can Can has its roots in one of the favorite social dances of the 19th century, the quadrille. The final figure of the group dance would feature the dancers performing high kicks and extravagant gestures with their arms. Originating in Paris, the moves may have been inspired by a popular dancer and entertainer named Charles Mazurier. Mazurier was very athletic and able to perform jump splits with ease. The Can Can dance (which literally means scandal in French) became a scandalous way for female dancers to show off their legs and kick up their skirts. The dance also offered the opportunity for male dancers to show off their own virility and prowess. Nearly Forbidden As with many popular, somewhat risqué dances before and after the Can Can, there were attempts to repress the dancers. The authorities went so far as to arrest enthusiastic kickers, but the dance never quite reached the point of being banned in Paris."

"text": "\"Isadora Duncan: A Revolutionary Dancer Posted on June 15, 2012 by Women in the arts In the mid-19th century, dance was ready for a revolution. The ballet theater had been nearly reduced to a peep show in Paris by 1850, as is reflected in the art of Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and others. Tutus were being shortened. Victorian corsets were donned by young “gamines,” who pranced around for the bourgeoisie. Additionally, as a reaction against the mechanization of the Industrial Revolution, an “ethereal” aesthetic became popular. Pointe shoes were invented by Marie Taglioni in 1827 to heighten the lithe look, and Romantic ballets starred fairies and nymphs. Even male dancing in Romantic ballets was tailored to please male audiences. Basically, a male dancer’s role was merely to frame the female body, support it, and aid in its contortion. Unfortunately, as more ballerinas fit this new ideal, theaters seemed to grow increasingly corrupt. As ballet developed a more scandalous reputation, many serious dancers realized that they had to drastically change their focus."

Many also cross-train with cardio, weight lifting, yoga and/or Pilates to improve their physical fitness and technique. Who invented pointe shoes?

While every school may have a few specific requirements, there are some general things that ballet students need for ballet class. In this article, aimed for first timers, parents and beginners, we’ll go over what is considered the essential supplies for students taking a ballet class. Let’s take a look!Ballet Class Attire Proper attire for ballet class is very important. Almost every school will require students taking ballet classes to dress properly so the teacher can see if a student is properly executing a movement, step or position. Ballet is all about the details and the attire, or ballet class uniform, is one of those details. Ballet Shoes Ballet Shoes are essential for ballet class.

"text": "\"Movies Billy Elliot Stephen Daldry's switch to the screen brings us an invigorating and surprising tale about a ballet-dancing boy, writes Peter Bradshaw Thu 28 Sep 2000 20.11 EDT6F rom somewhere on a spectrum between Kes and How Green Was My Valley, the British stage director Stephen Daldry brings us Billy Elliot, his screen debut. This is a bold, attractive and emotionally generous film about a young boy growing up in the north-east during the miners' strike of 1984-85, who discovers in himself a talent for dance. And - to the horror of his striking miner father, played by the perennially excellent Gary Lewis - this is not even the virile and masculine dance of Gene Kelly. It is ballet: mincing, prancing, flouncing tutu-wearing ballet, and young Billy (Jamie Bell) has to work on his pliés along with all the girlies in a church hall where Dad sends him every week with his 50p sub in his hot little hand on the understanding that he is learning how to box. This is a film with a lot of charm, a lot of humour and a lot of heart. Daldry's direction and the screenplay by Lee Hall (who wrote the radio drama hit Spoonface Steinberg) distinguish themselves further in the discreet, intelligent way they deal with the question of Billy's nascent sexuality, avoiding vulgarity and prurience. The young male ballet dancer is not a stereotype, and yet the film certainly does not feel it necessary to reassure the audience that Billy is straight; for my money, that's part of this picture's liberal humanity. Billy finds himself in his embarrassing predicament when he is perpetually having the living daylights knocked out of him in the ring, unhappily wearing the seedy old boxing gloves that were once the property of his grandfather. Something in him responds to the sight of the ballet class in the opposite corner. He joins in, coming under the wing of the teacher, Mrs Wilkinson, played by Julie Walters, who in some ways is playing a version of the Michael Caine role in Educating Rita."

Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control, resulting in the accidental leakage of urine from the body. For example, a man may feel a strong, sudden need, or urgency, to urinate just before losing a large amount of urine, called urgency incontinence. UI can be slightly bothersome or totally debilitating. For some men, the chance of embarrassment keeps them from enjoying many activities, including exercising, and causes emotional distress. When people are inactive, they increase their chances of developing other health problems, such as obesity and diabetes. Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control, resulting in the accidental leakage of urine from the body. What is the urinary tract and how does it work? The urinary tract is the body’s drainage system for removing urine, which is composed of wastes and extra fluid. In order for normal urination to occur, all parts in the urinary tract need to work together in the correct order."

"text": "The Male Reproductive System Scrotum The sack under the penis contains two testicles. On boys, the scrotum is small and compact, but after puberty it expands to accommodate the increasing testicle size and to provide more surface area to cool the testicles. In order for the testicles to properly produce sperm, the organs must be kept 1 to 4 degrees cooler than the body. To keep the testicles in the proper temperature range, the scrotum constantly changes size. If the temperature is too cool, the scrotum contracts, bringing the testicles closer to warmth of the body. The scrunching of the scrotum also thickens the walls of the scrotum and lessens the surface area, which minimizes the heat loss. If the temperature is too warm, the scrotum hangs loosely, bringing the testicles farther from the body. The expanded size exposes more surface area for excess heat to be dissipated. The scrotum will also draw up during physical activity, such as running or during sexual intercourse. This reflex protects the testicles from being knocked around."

Elliot underwent varicocele repair, a procedure that can improve male fertility by eliminating blood flow to a swollen network of veins leading to the testicles. He also began taking clomiphene (Clomid), a drug that spurs the body’s production of testosterone, and thus sperm. [ Editor’s note: The couple’s names and certain biographical details have been changed to preserve their privacy. All medical details are as they reported them. ] In 2004, at age 46, Elliot’s PSA stood at an insignificant 1.4 ng/ml, well within the normal range of 0 to 4.0 ng/ml. By the end of 2006, it had jumped to 2.7 ng/ml. Given the relatively fast increase in Elliot’s PSA, his family history of cancer (including prostate cancer), and his relatively young age (now 49), his physician recommended a prostate biopsy. One of the core samples revealed prostate cancer. A subsequent biopsy, however, came back negative."

Peter Latos would have celebrated his 50th birthday earlier this week, on May 3, but he wasn’t here to do that. The long, valiant battle he fought against prostate cancer came to an end nearly two years back, taking him from his wife and sons — and all of us — when he was only 47.

( Courtesy Peter Latos Prostate Cancer Foundation)The average age of diagnosis is about 66, and about six in 10 prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men age 65 or older, according to the American Cancer Society.

"text": "What is PSA? PSA or Prostate Specific Antigen is a protein produced by the prostate found mostly in the semen with very small amounts released into the bloodstream. When there’s a problem with the prostate—like the development and growth of prostate cancer—more and more PSA is released. It eventually reaches a level where it can be easily detected in the blood. This is often the first indicator of prostate cancer. During a PSA test, a small amount of blood is drawn from the arm, and the level of PSA is measured. What Do the Numbers Mean? Levels under 4 ng/m L are usually considered “normal. ”Levels over 10 ng/m L are usually considered “high”Levels between 4 and 10 ng/m L are usually considered “intermediate. ”When prostate cancer develops, the PSA level usually goes above 4."

But these early detection tests can’t tell for sure if you have cancer. If the result of one of these tests is abnormal, you will probably need a prostate biopsy to determine if you have cancer. ( See If Prostate Cancer Screening Test Results Aren’t Normal . ) Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a substance made by cells in the prostate gland (both normal cells and cancer cells). PSA is mostly found in semen, but a small amount is also found in the blood. Most men without prostate cancer have PSA levels under 4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/m L) of blood. The chance of having prostate cancer goes up as the PSA level goes up. When prostate cancer develops, the PSA level usually goes above 4."

Ricciardelli There are perks to getting older – finally settling into a career, dishing out wisdom to younger generations and having more time to practice that golf swing. But there are cons too, some of which are the rising health concerns as we age. Men in particular have a unique health concern: prostate cancer. Their risk increases drastically as they approach 50, and more than 70 percent of all prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over the age of 65. Prostate cancer, the most common non-skin cancer among men, affects the prostate gland and shows virtually no symptoms. \"\" When the cancer is curable, there are zero symptoms,\"\" says Dr. Frank Critz, founder and medical director of Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia. \"\" When prostate cancer shows symptoms, it may have moved to your bones and you develop back aches – this is when it's too late. \"\" About one man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.- The American Cancer Society In 2012, more than 241,000 American men were diagnosed with the disease – in the U. S., one in six men will be affected by prostate cancer in their lifetime. \"\" There are 30,000 men that die annually because of prostate cancer – it's a really broad spectrum of disease,\"\" Dr. Critz says. \"\" We know that with the slow growing disease, you can have it for 20 or 30 years with no issue."

Answer Chris - This is a very good question; healthy testes make sperm at the rate of between 1000 and 5000 sperm cells per second. These collect in a long coil of tubes above and behind each testicle called the epididymis, where they are stored until needed. The testes hang external to the body within the scrotum to achieve an optimal temperature for sperm production. This is because sperm are made most efficiently at a slightly lower temperature than body temperature. In the epididymis the sperm are nourished and make their way to the vas deferens, which is a muscular tube connecting the testis to the urethra up inside the male body. When sperm are ejaculated they are pushed along the vas deferens by rhythmic contractions of the musculature. Once inside the body, secretions from the prostate gland and seminal vesicles are added, producing the semen that is ejaculated from the penis. However, although they can survive there for quite a long period within the male anatomy, a fraction of the sperm that are made are never ejaculated. Instead, they will senesce and are broken down."

"text": "Testosterone and Prostate Health Testosterone and prostate health are related through the action and intended nature of testosterone in the male body. Testosterone is the major hormone in the body responsible for sexual development, including reproductive development. In men, testosterone is largely produced by the testes; in women it is produced in significantly smaller amounts by the ovaries and adrenal glands. Men typically have a greater overall muscle mass than women, due to the fact that the male body produces up to 80% more testosterone than a woman's body (Folland & William, 2007). It would make sense to predict that testosterone's effects, both good and bad, would be greater in the male body than the female body, in relation to their intended effects in the male body. This article addresses testosterone and prostate health. Testosterone and Prostate Health - Sex, Sex, and more Sex The relationship between testosterone and prostate health relates to factors of growth and sexual reproductive development. Testosterone is a 'grow' hormone; this hormone makes specific things in the body grow bigger. It is also involved in secondary systems, such as hair growth (pubertal), and voice change (in pubertal teens). Testosterone is very crucial also for normal development of the reproductive tract of men, and to a lesser extent, women."

"text": "Nutrition and Prostate Health By Neal D. Barnard, M. D. The prostate is an organ that sits snuggled up under the bladder. Its biological purpose is to produce semen. As time goes on, however, many men have an enlargement of their prostates, causing annoying and sometimes painful urinary problems. The prostate is also the number-one cancer spot in a man’s body. These problems are not inevitable. They depend in part on what men eat. Like so many other parts of our biology, the mixture of nutrients we choose every day can encourage prostate cells to grow into an aggravating mass or can help them stay put. The bladder empties into a tube called the urethra, which passes through the prostate gland, where it is joined by another tube carrying sperm from the testes. Starting at about age 30, the prostate cells alongside the urethra start to multiply. If this continues, they can pinch off the urethra, causing a poor urinary stream, dribbling, pressure, and, ultimately, infection and kidney damage."

Besides ice hockey and the snow, one of the first things that come to mind when we think of Canada is the maple leaf, specifically a red maple leaf. It is the most recognized symbol of Canada. According to historians, the maple leaf became a symbol of Canada as early as the 1700s. In 1834, the St. Jean Baptiste Society, a French Canadian association founded to strengthen their linguistic and cultural heritage , made the maple leaf its emblem. Jacques Viger, the first mayor of Montreal, Quebec described the maple as \"\"the king of our forest; ... the symbol of the Canadian people. \"\" Two years later, in 1836, Le Canadien, a newspaper published in Lower Canada, suggested that the maple leaf would be a suitable emblem for Canada. In 1848, The Maple Leaf, a Canadian literary annual published in Toronto, ON, announced the maple leaf as the chosen emblem for Canada. By 1860, the maple leaf was used in the Royal Canadian 100th Regiment Badge. It was also used extensively in decorations when the Prince of Wales visited that year."

It's believed that the maple leaf became a Canadian symbol as early as the 1700's. Indians have been using the sap of the trees for food long before Canada saw ships on its horizon. Several groups used the Maple Leaf as a symbol in the 1800's, including its use on the badge of the 100th Regiment. The same year (1860) it was used as a decorative theme for the Prince of Wales visit. Alexander Muir wrote \"\"The Maple Leaf Forever\"\" in 1867 as a song for Confederation.

The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag. The red and white used in the National Flag of Canada were proclaimed the official colors of Canada in 1921 by King George V. Although the maple leaf did not have official status as an emblem of Canada until the proclamation of the national flag in 1965, it had historically been used as a Canadian symbol and was used in 1860 in decorations for the visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada. The 11 points on the maple leaf have no special significance. A Flag for Canada It wasn't until the 1965 inauguration of the maple leaf flag that Canada had its own national flag. In the early days of Canadian Confederation the Royal Union flag, or Union Jack, was still flown in British North America.

The problem is that the refinement of sugar has removed all the beneficial nutrients, enzymes and other plant compounds that give naturally sweet foods their goodness. In small amounts, sweeteners cause no problems to most people, especially when they are eaten in natural forms like fruit. Large amounts of sugar on a regular basis however, cause insulin resistance, a state in which the body does not respond to the hormone responsible for controlling blood sugar correctly.

In 2:3 ratio, the side panels get squeezed proportionally, leaving a much narrower central area, where the maple leaf (equilateral in its normative depiction) must be reduced in order to not overlap the lateral panels and in the process a lot of extra white space is visible on the flag. António Martins-Tuválkin, 26 July 2007There is a local hotel, not that far from where I live, and pass it every day on the way to work, that has at least 8 of these flying on the roof of the hotel (one at each corner, and 1 or 2 spaced out between the corner ones on the edge of the roof). However, it's even more visually jarring, not only is it 2:3, but it isn't even in Canadian pale, the bars are equal width! I guess a Peruvian civil flag with a maple leaf in the middle. Of course, no one notices, or cares.

These may specifically distinguish organizations that derive their authority from the Crown (such as parliament or police forces), establishments with royal associations, or merely be ways of expressing loyal or patriotic sentiment. Most royal symbols in Canada are based on inherited predecessors from France, England, and Scotland, the evidence of which is still visible today, though, over time, adaptations have been made to include uniquely Canadian elements. Some representations were discarded during and after the 1970s, within an evolving Canadian identity, while others were created over the same time and continue to be up to the present. Today, symbols of the monarchy can be seen in military badges, provincial and national coats of arms, royal prefixes, monuments, and eponymous names of geographical locations and structures.

The first verifiable use of a royal symbol in Canada was when Jacques Cartier raised the Royal Arms of France on the Gaspé Peninsula in 1534. [ 1] Since then, some icons were created for use uniquely in the Canadas—mostly coats of arms. But, only after the First World War did growing Canadian nationalism lead to changes in the appearance and meaning to Canadians of royal symbols. Since Canada gained full legislative independence from the United Kingdom in 1931, images of the reigning monarch have been employed to signify either Canada's membership in the Commonwealth of Nations, [2] the Crown's authority, loyalty to Canada, [3] or Canada's full statehood.

"text": "\"Travel Canada Other - Canada What is the significance of the maple leaf on Canada's flag?2 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Even though the maple tree is only found in the eastern provinces of Canada, it was adopted as a national symbol from the days of the Canadian Army Corps that fought in the First World War. In 1914 Canada was a dominion within the British Empire and had very little control of it's foriegn policy. That menat when the British declared war on the Germans, Canada automatically was involved and began to prepare troops to send to the field. Given there was an emerging sense of nationalism at the time however, the political leadership in Ottawa demanded the ability to send all their recruits into an all Canadian formation with the larger British Army and the leadership was glad to accomodate them. Now because the Canadian Corps' uniforms were the same as the British, the political leadership had set themselves to the task of developing the Corps needed to find some way to distinguish the formation to help build unit solidarity. They started with several different ideas, the most popular of which were symbols based around the much wider spread icon of the beaver. Problem was they just couldn't seem to make those symbols simple enough to be easily recognized. To remedy that, they settled on the less popular, less wide spread icon of the maple leaf and that ended up being what the soldiers ended up wearing on their lapels and in their hats in Europe. Small brass button maple leafs. Now this may seem kinda odd to Americans who know WWII much more as \"\"the war\"\" but for Canada, it was much more the Great War that defined our country."

I've suggested to my wife that we cut them down while they are small enough to deal with and replace them. She wants a second opinion. I think cutting them down is an extreme approach. Some Japanese maples will send up these errant shoots, but when you see one, simply cut it back. While Japanese maples can develop beautiful structure and form in the landscape, it doesn’t happen totally on their own. Pruning and thinning cuts help make it happen."

Designed by George F. G.

[ 1] It is the first specified by law for use as the country's national flag. In 1964, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson formed a committee to resolve the ongoing issue of the lack of an official Canadian flag, sparking a serious debate about a flag change to replace the Union Flag. Out of three choices, the maple leaf design by George Stanley, [2] based on the flag of the Royal Military College of Canada, was selected. The flag made its first official appearance on February 15, 1965; the date is now celebrated annually as National Flag of Canada Day. The Canadian Red Ensign was unofficially used since the 1890s and approved by a 1945 Order in Council for use \"\"wherever place or occasion may make it desirable to fly a distinctive Canadian flag\"\".

If you were born after 1965, the maple leaf is likely your Canada. Before then, our national identity, at least as it relates to our flag, was a little murkier. We didn’t have a flag for the first 98 years after Confederation. And, to get one it took decades of debate, election promises and some clever filibustering. “The search for the flag was really the search for a country,” said John Matheson, a Liberal Member of Parliament who sat on the flag committee in 1964. Consider this: Before the maple leaf, the Red Ensign with a Union Jack and the coat of arms of our four founding provinces flew above Parliament Hill. It was occasionally replaced by the Union Jack. Neither were recognized by parliament as official flags and both heavily favoured Canada’s British roots. Enter the sugar maple leaf and Lester B. Pearson."

"text": "\"Home » Classroom What Does the Maple Leaf on the Canadian Flag Represent? By Riccardo Giovanniello; Updated September 29, 2017Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images The Canadian flag was adopted by the Canadian Parliament Oct. 22, 1964, and the official inauguration ceremony took place Feb. 15, 1965. Ever since, the maple leaf has been a symbol of Canadian pride. History The maple leaf wasn't chosen at random. In fact, the adoption of the maple leaf as an important Canadian symbol dates to 1860, when the prince of Wales was visiting Canada. The English wore their traditional roses, the Scots wore their traditional thistles, and Canadians needed something to wear as well, so they chose a maple leaf. Canadian Unity Unlike provincial flags or territorial flags, the maple leaf represents unity across the entire country- regardless of birthplace. It is an inclusive symbol, and by removing the association with the Union Jack on the old flag, the maple leaf has become a symbol of Canada's nationality and independence. Why Red? Red and white were proclaimed the official colors of Canada in 1921 by King George."

The largest Marine Iguanas are found on Fernandina and Isabela Islands where as the smallest Marine Iguanas are found on Genovesa Island. They are black or grey in colour but during the breeding season adult males develop red and green colouration and young Marine Iguanas have a lighter coloured dorsal stripe. They have triangular shaped dorsal scales and a long tail that they use to propel them through the water while swimming. They are often encrusted in a white substance which is mainly excess salt that has been excreted from their nasal glands. Marine Iguanas can lose up to 10°c of body heat during a dive into the sea, so after each dive they return to shore to bask in the sun and warm up. During this period they are unable to move effectively and can be highly aggressive towards any potential predators as they are unable to run away until their body temperature has risen. Habitat Marine Iguanas are found on the Galapagos Islands. When they are not foraging in the sea, they spend their time basking on rocks and often several thousand individuals can be seen together on the same stretch of shore. Diet Marine Iguanas mainly feed on marine algae."

In order to maintain his health, your iguana should primarily be fed a diet of dark, leafy greens such as Swiss chard, endive and collard greens. You may not be aware, however, that several herbs are a nutritious and tasty addition to your pet lizard's diet. Alfalfa and dandelions top the list. Alfalfa Greens or Tablets Iguanas need protein from plant sources -- not animal -- and alfalfa packs a protein punch. In fact, experts at the Green Iguana Society consider it a staple in your iguana's diet. You may feed alfalfa tablets or powder, made for human consumption, to your iguana. Alfalfa greens are found in grocery stores or in the wild where they can be foraged for free. You can also grow alfalfa yourself since it tolerates a wide range of environmental conditions. Dandelion Leaves and Flowers Dandelions might be an eyesore in your backyard, but they are a delightful, calcium-dense food for your iguana."

They are the only lizards that are able to live and feed in the sea. Marine iguanas are vegetarians. They feed on seaweed and algae which they find on rocks, in tidal pools, or in the sea. The adult males can grow to over 5 feet long and the females up to almost 4 feet. On land, marine iguanas are rather clumsy lizards, but in the water they are powerful, easy-moving swimmers. Their flattened tails and spiky dorsal fins are perfect for swimming. They have long, sharp claws they use to cling tightly to rocks in the strong currents and waves along the shore. Marine iguanas have flat snouts which makes it easier for them to scrape algae off the rocks with their sharp teeth."

Lesser known than the island's lumbering \"\"mascot\"\" is the marine iguana, described by Charles Darwin in 1835 as a \"\"hideous looking creature, of a dirty black colour, stupid, and sluggish\"\" (Darwin, 1988). Despite its appearance, Darwin observed the marine iguana closely enough to recognize its main evolutionary adaptations from its land-dwelling Galápagos cousins, the land iguanas, Conolphus pallidus and Conolphus subcristatus. He could not, however, know how genetics and plate tectonics would enable the \"\"lowly\"\" marine iguana to teach us much more.

I was surprised to learn that although the Galápagos Islands have the world's only species of marine iguana, there are seven separate subspecies or races among the islands, each one distinguishable from the next (Dowling, 1962, in Thornton, 1971; Garman, 1892, in Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1984; Eibl-Eibesfeldt, 1956, 1962, in Thornton, 1971). The subspecies from Española Island, Amblyrhynchus cristatus venustissimus, is frequently mentioned as the most unique of the seven races because of its exceptional coloration and unusual behavioral adaptations. This variation within a single species intrigued me. What factors had caused Española's venustissimus to become so different from the races on other islands?"

Recently granted UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site status, the Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) is the largest marine reserve in a developing country and the second largest marine reserve in the world. The Galapagos Marine Reserve covers 133,000 square kilometres. This reserve, which lies a thousand kilometres from the Ecuadorian mainland was set up in 1998 to protect the waters around the Galapagos Islands and the many species of animals and fish that live there. There are so many marine species in Galapagos because of the cold ocean currents that bring rich nutrients for food and the great variety of habitats, coral reefs, mangrove lagoons, rocky areas and sandy beaches. Many other species depend on the Galapagos marine life for their food, such as sea birds that eat fish and the marine iguanas that feed on algae growing on the bottom of the sea. In certain areas in the Galapagos Marine Reserve, you can dive or snorkel and come into contact with amazing aquatic species which live underwater such as Whales, whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, rays, manta rays, sword fish and turtles, just to name a few. Cold, hot and warm marine currents come together here, generating a wide diversity of animal life, from small colourful fish to large mammals. Take a look at some of the marine life that thrives in the oceans around the Galapagos Islands: Whales Dolphins Sharks Rays Fish Eels In the warm season (from May to December), there is a good chance of seeing whale sharks particularly in the northern islands, they can also be observed in the central islands. In the cold season (December to May) the chance to see whale sharks is about 50 percent and you are more likely to see more rays like mantas, mobula and eagle rays, since they get together in schools to mate at this time of year."

If the temperature drops below 40 degrees, iguanas become sluggish. Their metabolism slows and their skin turns dark from the stress."

"text": "\"definition : Galapagos The Galápagos Islands (official name: Archipiélago de Colón, other Spanish name: Las Islas Galápagos, ), part of the Republic of Ecuador, are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed on either side of the Equator in the Pacific Ocean surrounding the centre of the Western Hemisphere, west of continental Ecuador. The islands are known for their vast number of endemic species and were studied by Charles Darwin during the second voyage of HMS Beagle, as his observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection. The Galápagos Islands and their surrounding waters form the Galápagos Province of Ecuador, the Galápagos National Park, and the Galápagos Marine Reserve. The principal language on the islands is Spanish. The islands have a population of slightly over 25,000. The first recorded visit to the islands happened by chance in 1535, when Fray Tomás de Berlanga, the Bishop of Panamá, was surprised with this undiscovered land during a voyage to Peru to arbitrate in a dispute between Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro. De Berlanga eventually returned to the Spanish Empire and described the conditions of the islands and the animals that inhabited them. The group of islands was shown and named in Abraham Ortelius's atlas published in 1570. The first crude map of the islands was made in 1684 by the buccaneer Ambrose Cowley, who named the individual islands after some of his fellow pirates or after British royalty and noblemen. These names were used in the authoritative navigation charts of the islands prepared during the Beagle survey under captain Robert Fitzroy, and in Darwin's popular book The Voyage of the Beagle."

FEEDING YOUR IGUANAGREEN IGUANAS ARE HERBIVORESIn their natural habitat, the green iguana's diet is made up of about 70% leaves, 10-15% flowers, and the rest is soft fruit. Recent studies have shown that the green iguana is completely herbivorous throughout it's entire life. In spite of this information there still exists today the misconception that it is necessary to feed them bugs and animal protein. WHY SHOULDN'T I FEED BUGS OR ANIMAL PROTEIN TO MY IGUANA? Iguanas have a special organ called the \"\"hind gut\"\", which is located between the small and large intestine. Similar to ruminants in the mammal world, this organ houses beneficial bacteria, or \"\"micro flora\"\" that breaks down the cellulose in plants. This fermentation process extracts 30-40% of the plants nutrients for absorption in the body to use for metabolism and growth. This type of digestive system is unique to herbivouous animals, including lizards. For optimal health, the blood chemistry should be a 2:1 ratio of Calcium to Phosphorus."

They inhabit all of the continents apart from Antarctica, from sea level to heights of 16,500 feet (5000m). Lizards live in diverse environments and are the most geographically widespread of the reptiles. That makes them the largest group of reptiles with about 5000 species. They have walked the earth for some 200 million years. Reptiles have the following physical features: they have vertebrate, lungs, and scales or plates. They are cold-blooded, getting all of their heating from the environment (the sun) which can be deadly during cold spells. What could be good about that? Well, this allows the reptiles to eat much less than a mammal of the same weight might. In the desert, for example, this might be useful in terms of competing for food."

The divergence between land and marine iguanas has been estimated at 10.5 million years ago.

Land Iguanas Marine Iguanas Land Iguanas There are three species of land iguana found in the Galapagos Islands. The well-known yellowish land iguanas include Conolophus subcristatus, native to six islands, and Conolophus pallidus, found only on the island of Santa Fe. A third species of land iguana ( Conolophus marthae ), the pink or rosada iguana, was first seen in 1986 and remained unstudied until the 2000s. It is found only on Wolf Volcano at the northern end of Isabela Island. It has a pinkish head, and pinkish and black body and legs, often with black stripes.

Analysts reach these conclusions with traditional methodologies like focus groups and surveys, as well as newer technologies. Market research analysts also churn out reports on sales trends and consumer demographics, preferences, needs and buying habits. They must be able to present their findings to clients in an easy-to-understand way.

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."

Knowing what an asset is worth and what determines that value is a pre-requisite for intelligent decision making -- in choosing investments for a portfolio, in deciding on the appropriate price to pay or receive in a takeover and in making investment, financing and dividend choices when running a business. The premise of valuation is that we can make reasonable estimates of value for most assets, and that the same fundamental principles determine the values of all types of assets, real as well as financial. Some assets are easier to value than others, the details of valuation vary from asset to asset, and the uncertainty associated with value estimates is different for different assets, but the core principles remain the same. This introduction lays out some general insights about the valuation process and outlines the role that valuation plays in portfolio management, acquisition analysis and in corporate finance. It also examines the three basic approaches that can be used to value an asset. A philosophical basis for valuation A postulate of sound investing is that an investor does not pay more for an asset than it is worth. This statement may seem logical and obvious, but it is forgotten and rediscovered at some time in every generation and in every market. There are those who are disingenuous enough to argue that value is in the eyes of the beholder, and that any price can be justified if there are other investors willing to pay that price.

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."

Also,there is no automatic promotion to Managing Director after a set numberof years - they will only get promoted when they have shown the ability togenerate substantial fees for the firm. This can take a year or two, but sometimes much more. What does an investment banking Director or Managing Director do every day?

Their main roles is as follows:- Directors will be involved in the critical parts of the M&A transactions such as fee negotiations, deal tactics, senior-level client meetings, etc.- Directors will also be involved in day-to-day marketing to clients and potential clients. They will be in charge of deciding which ideas to pitch to clients, and on which clients they want to focus.- Managing Directors have very similar responsibilities; however, they are typically in charge of the most important clients and have a larger responsibility for managing their own teams and setting the overall strategy of their team.

Absence of a Business System Analyst is often the reason that relationships between Business People and Programmers go ugly. Most of us have heard stories about business people who bring a project to programmers, and later on the project is either delivered late, or comes short of the specs. That’s not always the case specially when the Programmer does a good system analysis job during the project, but again not every programmer makes a good system analyst. Photography by Rastin Mehr © Some rights reserved In larger organizations, System Analysts make the communication between IT and Business departments possible. In the absence of System Analysts this relationship becomes gradually dysfunctional, until at some point one department manages to dominate the other in the power hierarchy. During this struggle, people on both side become overworked, undermined, and frustrated. Eventually, the excessive loss of resources and lack of productivity could bring down an entire organization. What System Analysts (SA) do, is to study a business model, break it down to smaller bits of tangible information and understand how they should be processed."

A fiduciary role means that the organization has a responsibility to \"\"do what is in the best interest of the client\"\", not only what is suitable for the client - the standard that brokers are measured against.

For example, upscale exclusive senior communities are sometimes called by the following names: age restricted senior communities, active adult communities, retirement resort communities, golf resort communities or adult retirement communities. As another example consider assisted living. Depending on the state in which they are licensed, assisted living facilities could be called by one or a number of following names: Alternative care, Residential care, Personal care, Adult congregate living care, Board and care, Adult living facilities, Supported care, Enhanced care, Community based retirement facilities, Adult homes, Sheltered housing, Retirement residences or Adult foster care. In some states the term \"\"assisted living \"\" or the term \"\"residential care services\"\" encompasses all of the above titles and in other states certain of the above titles are carved out and licensed for specific services of their own. Assisted living is commonly the term that experts use to define all of these services. But, to further add to the confusion, states that license the concept under the term \"\"assisted living\"\" define this service in all kinds of various ways. Some states allow for unlimited personal services and for help with activities of daily living, and even allow limited nursing care or special waivers for more continuous nursing care. Other states are more restrictive about what kind of services assisted living can perform."

If you are a tenant in multifamily housing, you cannot take the subsidy someplace else. It stays with the development. The ownership may be for-profit or nonprofit. Owners receive subsidies from the government to lower the cost of their mortgages or to rehabilitate existing housing or build new apartments. In exchange, they are required to set aside a certain percentage of apartments as affordable for low- and moderate-income people. Most multifamily developments are mixed income housing. This means that some apartments are subsidized and some are market-rate apartments. Sometimes, however, all of the apartments are subsidized. Multifamily housing may also be subsidized by more than one program."

Driscoll [ Purposes] [ Size and Structure] [ Source of Funding] [ Recipients of Funding] [ World Bank Operations] [ IMF Operations] [ Cooperation Between Bank and IMF ] [ IMF and World Bank at a Glance]If you have difficulty distinguishing the World Bank from the International Monetary Fund, you are not alone. Most people have only the vaguest idea of what these institutions do, and very few people indeed could, if pressed on the point, say why and how they differ. Even John Maynard Keynes, a founding father of the two institutions and considered by many the most brilliant economist of the twentieth century, admitted at the inaugural meeting of the International Monetary Fund that he was confused by the names: he thought the Fund should be called a bank, and the Bank should be called a fund. Confusion has reigned ever since. Known collectively as the Bretton Woods Institutions after the remote village in New Hampshire, U. S. A., where they were founded by the delegates of 44 nations in July 1944, the Bank and the IMF are twin intergovernmental pillars supporting the structure of the world's economic and financial order. That there are two pillars rather than one is no accident. The international community was consciously trying to establish a division of labor in setting up the two agencies. Those who deal professionally with the IMF and Bank find them categorically distinct."

"text": "What You Should Know About Your Brakes and Master Cylinder By Jefferson Bryant August 20, 2014Replacing the master cylinder for your brakes or clutch is a fairly simple task – unbolt the old one, bolt the new one in place, swap the lines and you are done, right? Not exactly. While the actual swap process is easy, there is one more step in the middle that you absolutely must do before you take the new unit to the car- bench bleed the air out. The master cylinder is a hydraulic pump. As you pump the pedal, it forces the fluid into the calipers/wheel cylinders (or clutch bearing for a clutch master cylinder). This works really well because fluid does not compress. Air, however, compresses quite easily, so any air in the braking system will reduce the hydraulic pressure by large amounts. Even a single air bubble in the brake line can make stopping your vehicle a scary affair. The master cylinder does not automatically bleed the air out of the piston when you fill it, this has to be performed “on the bench”, in other words, out of the vehicle. You can bleed it in the car, but it takes longer and requires two people- one to watch for bubbles and one to push the brake pedal."

It was noted that the brake fluid was low when I got the car back. I asked why it had not been topped off, & the mechanic said that low brake fluid is an indicator of brake wear & that I should wait until the brake light comes on, then bring it back to the shop to have the brakes replaced. Is this fact or fiction??? Mike In NH 2011-12-13 23:14:07 UTC #2Depends on how much it’s down. But yes…as the pads wear down the fluid will drop a little. But I wouldn’t use the brake light indicator to tell me when I need new brakes. There’s probably a fill-to line and a add-line on the brake reservoir. Just make sure the fluid doesn’t go below the add-to line."

If a fluid leak occurs in one circuit, only two of the wheels will lose their brakes and your car will still be able to stop when you press the brake pedal. The master cylinder supplies pressure to both circuits of the car. It is a remarkable device that uses two pistons in the same cylinder in a way that makes the cylinder relatively failsafe. The combination valve warns the driver if there is a problem with the brake system, and also does a few more things to make your car safer to drive.

Many service stations such as Midas will perform a basic brake check to determine the extent of any problems. If you hear any brake noise such as screeching, squeaking or grinding, you should immediately have your brakes checked. Brake Problems There are several things that can go wrong with brakes. Worn out brake pads, calipers and drums might be the issue, but it could also be a problem with your master cylinder, individual wheel cylinders or simply a lack of fluid. The cost of repairing brake problems fluctuates depending on what is wrong. Low Fluid The easiest of brake problems simply involves a low amount of brake fluid in the master cylinder. Removing the cap and topping off the fluid is the way to fix it, but keep in mind, if the master cylinder is empty, pouring more fluid in will push air into the system."

Keeping them in good condition is one of the best ways to ensure that a vehicle has a long operating lifespan. When the braking system fails, there can be many different possible causes for such a failure. The most common cause of brake malfunction is due to a brake fluid leak. There are many reasons for a brake fluid leakage problem. And basically, the brake system has 4 main areas that could possibly leak: Brake master cylinder Area Brake line Area Front Brake Caliper Area Rear Brake Caliper or Rear drum cylinder Area The average cost to repair brake fluid leak On average, depending on the make and model of car being serviced, the costs of fixing a brake fluid leak are not too severe. This is not a repair that is going to set a vehicle owner back very much money when compared to some of the more costly types of automotive repair procedures. With the average make and model, you can expect the cost of repairing a brake fluid leak to be: Brake Master Cylinder Leak Repair: Between $100 – $200 (Labour $80 – $140)Replace: 200 – 300 (labour $40 – $80)Repair Brake Line Leak Between $100 – $200Brake Caliper Leak Repair: $100 – $200 (labour $80 – $100) for one side Replace: $200 – $300 (Labour $40 – $80) for one side Rear Drum Cylinder Leak Repair: $10 – $20 (Labour $80 – $100)Replace: $25 – $40 ($40 – $80)However, it is possible to fix the issue by yourself as long has you have sufficient automotive experience to know what you are doing. For everyone else, hiring a mechanic is going to be the smartest course of action to take to ensure that any and all braking repairs are performed carefully and correctly the first time. When repairing a leaking brake line, there is no real margin for error because if the brakes do not work, then this is putting a driver in a significant amount of risk."

Certainly no one would disagree that the brake system is one of the more essential systems to the functioning of the vehicle and safety of the passengers. Most of us haven’t placed much thought behind how it is that our cars stop. In order for your car to stop, three scientific principles must come into play. Friction, leverage and hydraulics must all work in tandem to create the stopping power needed for a passenger vehicle. The brake system is undoubtedly the most important system in your vehicle. To understand how the brakes work, it is important to understand the various components and technology behind the braking system. The black, round canister mounted on the firewall at the back of the engine on the right driver’s side under the hood is the brake booster. Since most cars now have disc brakes, power brakes are necessary to assist in multiplying the power exerted by the driver’s leg/foot. The force applied by the driver’s foot to the brake pedal is multiplied in the power booster."

Just like with a human heart, all kinds of issues within other organs can affect its functionality. Not all of these repairs are expensive. But you won’t know exactly where the problem lives until you visit the mechanic. Depending on the type of fault, this light can be flashing, steady, or even different colors like the traffic-lights. If the light is flashing, find an exit, stop the car and call a mechanic or a towing service, because you won’t be able to solve this on your own, and it’s usually a more serious issue that can cause damage if you continue to drive for too long.

"text": "Brake Master Cylinder Replacement Service What is the purpose of a brake master cylinder in a car? The brake master cylinder contains brake fluid and is connected to the brakes through the brake pipes and hoses. When you step on the brake pedal, brake fluid flows from the master cylinder to the braking unit at each wheel, creating enough friction to slow down and/or stop the car. The brake master cylinder has internal and external seals that can wear out over time. If the external seals have worn out, they will leak brake fluid, reducing the amount of fluid in the car and causing the brakes to malfunction. Worn external seals can also leak the fluid into the brake booster and destroy it. The brake booster is essential for the proper functioning of the brakes, so if brake fluid has leaked into it, replacement is required. If the internal seals have worn out, the brake fluid will continue to circulate inside, instead of being directed to the brakes. This weakens brake performance. The brake pedal will feel soft."

IMHO They serve to LIMIT pedal pretravel by keeping a wee tiny bit of drag on the brakes. Different setups and brakes require different valve pressures. For instance if your M/C is mounted up high (higher than your calipers) you could likely getaway with NOT running a RPV on the DISCs - but IF your master is at or below the calipers then running a 2# RPV is a good idea. Your drum brakes are less efficient than your calipers (due to the return springs in part) so you need a heavier RPV there - I think 10# RPV is typical there. Keep in mind that RPV's are NOT a NEW concept - the factory has been using them for several decades."

First off, let me stress this is a problem that shouldn't be ignored. If the fluid in your brake master cylinder reservoir gets too low, it can cause your brakes to not work at all. The reason that your brake pedal gets hard and stops the car or truck when you step on it is because the brake fluid is being pushed through the braking system to the brake caliper and pads, which then stops the car. If there is not enough fluid in the system then this will not happen. Let's take a look at some of the common causes and what to do about them. Low Brake Fluid Causes If you find that your brake fluid is low then there are two things you'll need to know. The first thing is that as your brake pads wear out, the caliper piston will be gradually pushed out of its housing. This keeps it right next to the brake pads so the pads will contact the brake rotor very quickly when the pedal is pushed."

"text": "\"Glenard Munson, ASE-Certified Technician since 1971 (one of the first group)Answered Nov 2, 2014 · Author has 1.7k answers and 3m answer views With today's vehicles, this becomes a two-edged sword. Auto manufacturers put a LOT of design effort into creating a sealed, waterproof and dust-proof hydraulic system. As John Weathers stated, brake fluid absorbs and holds water, to keep brake lines and other metallic parts from rusting. There are two ways to figure out the need for flushing; brown, muddy appearance ( not just discoloration, but a sudsy and muddy appearance) which indicates MAXIMUM water absorption has been reached. The other way is to use brake fluid test strips to check for water in the fluid. The problem, however, is two-fold in inspecting and flushing. Most manufacturers now make the brake fluid reservoir translucent, so that the fluid level can be seen at a glance, without a need to remove the cap and allowing moisture from the air to enter. And ANY time the system has been opened (brake line replacement, gravity bleeding...any breech in the system) can allow both air and water to be introduced to the fluid. Finally, if the vehicle has 1st or 2nd generation Anti-Lock Brakes, all it takes is ONE small e\\amount of pressure, on the solenoid jets and/or filter, in the computer module, to create a $2,000-$4,000 repair for a new module/master cylinder. American-made vehicles can go 150,000 miles or more between such a \"\"need\"\" and many Euro and Asian vehicles will recommend (not mandate) a 25,000 - 35,000 mile interval (2-3 years)."

The problem is almost invariably traced to the master cylinder or sometimes the clutch accumulator. In one or two instances the clutch slave cylinder also started leaking. I have gone through the exact same sequence of events. See viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25494 and this thread where I ended up replacing the clutch accumulator. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36142 On Thursday afternoon my clutch again lost pressure on my way home and I ended up driving in peak traffic without a clutch - not a pleasant experience. MY Brother's 3lt D4D 4x2 had the exact same issues and after replacing both the master and slave cylinder the problem was still there. You could bleed the system perfectly but the first time you depress the clutch after bleeding it would simply \"\"collapse\"\"."

"text": "\"How to Add Brake Fluid to Your Car Car brake fluid is necessary to keep your car brakes working properly. Check brake fluid condition and top it off if it's low or discolored.by Toby Schultz on March 03, 2016Share Tweet Pin A properly functioning brake system is crucial to your vehicle’s overall health, as well as the safety of yourself and your passengers. Although replacing worn brake parts such as brake pads is extremely important, there are many components which tend to be ignored during inspections. One of the most important components to check is the brake fluid, which plays a key role in keeping your brakes operational. Here is how to add brake fluid to your car: How to add brake fluid Park the vehicle in a level area - Make sure the vehicle is stationary and on a level surface. Allowing the vehicle to move or having it at a steep pitch can make the fluid levels read incorrectly. Depress the brake pedal 20 to 30 times - Some manufacturers specify that this be done if the vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS). Tip: If your vehicle doesn’t have ABS, you can skip this step. If you’re not sure if you have ABS, do it anyway. Warning: The brake pedal may get hard when you do this with the engine off, which is a normal condition."

"text": "\"BEGINNERS' CORNERBrake Bleeding 101By Tom Benford Editor's Note: When working on any of your car's vital safety systems, if you're not sure what you're doing, have someone with experience work with you. There's no margin for error. Brake fluid can be thought of as a moveable rod which functions to activate the mechanical parts that actually stop the vehicle. Bleeding the brakes flushes the old brake fluid out of the master cylinder, brake lines, calipers and wheel cylinders and replaces it with fresh fluid. Bleeding is necessary for two reasons: First, to remove air bubbles that may have entered the system while repairs were being made, because of a leak or because the fluid level got too low. The air must be removed because it is compressible and can prevent a full, firm pedal. This is an overview at a glance of the brake system components and the procedures used to bleed the system. Be sure to read the entire article however!The individual brake lines must be bled in a specified sequence (which varies from vehicle to vehicle depending on the design of the brake system) to remove all the air from the lines. On some ABS-equipped vehicles, special bleeding procedures may be required (which also requires special equipment in some cases such as a scan tool to cycle the ABS solenoids). However, only very late model collector vehicles (e.g., 1984 and later Corvettes) are equipped with ABS braking systems."

This is regarding a 617.951 that appears to be a replacement motor on a '82 300SD because it has a couple of later model year parts on it. The engine does not have the \"\"Original Mercedes-Benz Tauschaggregat\"\" tag found here in this thread for rebuilt motors. mystery 617: \"\"Original Mercedes-Benz Tauschaggregat\"\" = Replacement motor? And where the serial number usually is (located behind the oil filter housing, on a flat surface on the block just below the head), the area looks like a factory casting with no evidence of it being ground off. So am I looking at a possible \"\"New\"\" factory replacement motor? The other thing to note is upon looking down into the oil fill cap, the cam still has the machined ribs on the lobes given the car has over 300,000 miles on the odometer. Any opinions? .__________________ 1983 123.133 California - Grease Car Veg System Last edited by Delivery Valve; 10-15-2010 at 01:40 AM .# 2 10-13-2010, 04:32 AMStretch Gettin' outa chokey Join Date: Sep 2009Location: Between a rock and a hard place (Back in Holland at the moment)Posts: 13,986May be - just may be it is a block built under license in another country?????

"text": "\"Back to Car Parts.com Classroom on the Web A Short Course on Brakesby Charles Ofria The modern automotive brake system has been refined for over 100 years and has become extremely dependable and efficient. The typical brake system consists of disk brakes in front and either disk or drum brakes in the rear connected by a system of tubes and hoses that link the brake at each wheel to the master cylinder. Other systems that are connected with the brake system include the parking brakes, power brake booster and the anti-lock system. When you step on the brake pedal, you are actually pushing against a plunger in the master cylinder, which forces hydraulic oil ( brake fluid) through a series of tubes and hoses to the braking unit at each wheel. Since hydraulic fluid (or any fluid for that matter) cannot be compressed, pushing fluid through a pipe is just like pushing a steel bar through a pipe. Unlike a steel bar, however, fluid can be directed through many twists and turns on its way to its destination, arriving with the exact same motion and pressure that it started with. It is very important that the fluid is pure liquid and that there are no air bubbles in it. Air can compress, which causes a sponginess to the pedal and severely reduced braking efficiency. If air is suspected, then the system must be bled to remove the air. There are \"\"bleeder screws\"\" at each wheel cylinder and caliper for this purpose."

Get brake repair prices for problems with low fluid, worn pads and drums, and cylinders. Comments Email Brake repair cost will vary depending on what needs to be done to get you back on the road and driving safely. Many service stations such as Midas will perform a basic brake check to determine the extent of any problems. If you hear any brake noise such as screeching, squeaking or grinding, you should immediately have your brakes checked. Brake Problems There are several things that can go wrong with brakes. Worn out brake pads, calipers and drums might be the issue, but it could also be a problem with your master cylinder, individual wheel cylinders or simply a lack of fluid. The cost of repairing brake problems fluctuates depending on what is wrong. Low Fluid The easiest of brake problems simply involves a low amount of brake fluid in the master cylinder. Removing the cap and topping off the fluid is the way to fix it, but keep in mind, if the master cylinder is empty, pouring more fluid in will push air into the system."

"text": "Anis Khachnaoui , NASM Elite Trainer Fitness Cardiorespiratory fitness is measured through VO2max testing. VO2max is essentially a measurement of the maximum amount of oxygen that your body is capable of consuming to generate energy that can be used at the cellular level. The gold standard by which cardiorespiratory fitness is measured requires a VO2max test under laboratory controlled settings with sophisticated equipment. However, if you don't have access to a laboratory equipped for VO2max measurement it is still possible to make a very reasonable estimate of your personal VO2max by trying the Rockport one mile walk test or the 3 minutes step up test. Luis Alonso, NASM Elite Trainer Fitness Cardiovascular fitness refers to how efficiently the heart and lungs can send oxygenated blood to the working muscles of the body, so that they might continue performing work. As the intensity level of the exercise increases, the level of oxygen that the body utilizes to continue the effort increases, along with the levels of carbon dioxide and lactic acid, which are the metabolic waste products produced by the exercise…This process goes on until you cannot voluntarily continue with the exercise and have to stop. The measurement of a persons cardiovascular fitness is typically referred to by many as measuring V0-2 max. V0-2 max is the body’s maximal ability to utilize oxygen to perform work. In actuality, there are very few people who can voluntarily work hard enough to reach their V0-2 max. This is because V0-2 max is exactly what it means; Maximal work output, just before complete physiological crash, and not voluntarily sustainable for any meaningful period of time."

While typically used to assist in keeping the lungs clear after surgery, it can also be used to assist in regulating breathing for asthma as well as helping someone strengthen and exercise their lungs. Function An incentive spirometer basically measures lung capacity, or how much air is needed to inflate the lungs, in a patient. Air blown into the cylinder provides volume measurements which help the physician or nurse determine how much a patient lungs are expanding. This also will inform the care providers as to how much oxygen is being provided to a persons system. Benefits Use of a spirometer is generally dictated by a physician. Not only does it enable a person to exercise their lungs, thereby increasing their breathing capacity, but it also assists in detecting any respiratory problems that may occur after surgery or in conjunction with lung blood clots. For example, if a patient is suffering from a clot, breathing deeply and completely can be painful. Patients and care givers can see how well medication is working as breathing becomes easier and lung capacity increases. The same can be said of post-operative care."

Overall fitness is made up of five main components: Cardiorespiratory endurance Muscular strength Muscular endurance Body composition Flexibility In order to assess your level of fitness, look at all five components together. What is \"\"cardio-respiratory endurance (cardio-respiratory fitness)? \"\" Cardio-respiratory endurance is the ability of the body's circulatory and respiratory systems to supply fuel during sustained physical activity (USDHHS, 1996 as adapted from Corbin & Lindsey, 1994).

This summer, the Army will add the Occupational Physical Assessment Test, or OPAT, as a way to predict a recruit's physical fitness required to train for the high physical demand tasks for an MOS. The OPAT is currently being evaluated at a select number of recruiting stations around the Army. It involves four physical fitness tests that together measure a future Soldier's muscular strength, cardiorespiratory endurance, and lower body and upper body explosive power. The four tests include the standing long jump, the seated power throw, the strength deadlift and the interval aerobic run. The new test isn't the first time the Army has used some sort of physical assessment for future Soldiers. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Army used the \"\"1-1-1 test,\"\" which involved 1-minute of sit-ups, 1-minute of pushups, and a 1-mile run to evaluate the physical fitness of candidates.

"text": "\"The \"\"Talk Test\"\"by Phil Block, MS and Len Kravitz, Ph D on Feb 01, 2005Aerobic exercise is a decisively important component of any fitness program. However, establishing and maintaining ideal exercise intensities for optimally safe and effective workouts can prove challenging for both exercisers and fitness professionals. In designing cardiorespiratory exercise programs, it is meaningful to consider that many people engage in aerobic exercise to control weight, improve their health status or reduce their disease risk. Knowing your client’s goals and purposes for doing aerobic exercise helps to determine the appropriate intensity, frequency, duration and progression of the exercise program. Traditionally, aerobic exercise program intensities have been developed around accepted standards of percentages of maximum heart rate and oxygen consumption (VO 2 ). For instance, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends 55%–90% of maximum heart rate or 40%–85% of maximum VO 2 for most individuals (ACSM 1998). Although the success of these techniques has been consistently demonstrated, many fitness enthusiasts find the necessary objective monitoring (e.g., continuously checking heart rates) difficult and sometimes tedious. Recent studies have helped validate an easier way to stay on track: the “talk test.” This method appears to be a simple way of maintaining recommended exercise intensities while avoiding the problems of the more involved practices of heart rate and VO 2 assessment (Persinger et al. 2004)."

"text": "Chapter 2: Physical Activity Has Many Health Benefits All Americans should be regularly physically active to improve overall health and fitness and to prevent many adverse health outcomes. The benefits of physical activity occur in generally healthy people, in people at risk of developing chronic diseases, and in people with current chronic conditions or disabilities. This chapter gives an overview of research findings on physical activity and health. The box below provides a summary of these benefits. Physical activity affects many health conditions, and the specific amounts and types of activity that benefit each condition vary. In developing public health guidelines, the challenge is to integrate scientific information across all health benefits and identify a critical range of physical activity that appears to have an effect across the health benefits. One consistent finding from research studies is that once the health benefits from physical activity begin to accrue, additional amounts of activity provide additional benefits. Although some health benefits seem to begin with as little as 60 minutes (1 hour) a week, research shows that a total amount of 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, consistently reduces the risk of many chronic diseases and other adverse health outcomes. Examining the Relationship Between Physical Activity and Health In many studies covering a wide range of issues, researchers have focused on exercise, as well as on the more broadly defined concept of physical activity. Exercise is a form of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and performed with the goal of improving health or fitness."

Cardio Zone Target Heart Rates for the Development of Cardiorespiratory Fitness Recovery Heart Rate Zone How to Get Your Max Heart Rate Examples of Aerobic & Anaerobic Activities Determining the heart rates for cardio and fat-burning exercise first requires determining exactly what “cardio” and “fat-burning” mean, because they are not scientific terms. “ Cardio” might refer to any exercise performed in your aerobic heart rate range, or at the higher end of that range. Some people use “fat-burning” to refer to exercise that occurs at the low end of your aerobic heart rate range, while others claim it occurs at the high end. Once you decide on your definition, you can easily find your target heart rate range for exercise. Fat-Burning If you are referring to exercises that burn most of your calories from fat, then “fat-burning” means moderate-intensity exercise, such as power walking or swimming with a kickboard. For example, power walking burns a higher percentage of calories from fat than glycogen, while jogging might burn fat and glycogen at a 50/50 ratio, with running or sprinting burning mostly glycogen. If you consider exercises that burn the most total fat, then “fat-burning” means vigorously intense exercise, such as jogging or high-impact aerobics."

"text": "Cardiorespiratory Fitness Testingby Jeffrey Janot, Ph D on Sep 01, 2004PFT 101This first of a two-part series explains the what, when, where and why of cardiorespiratory fitness tests. Imagine this scenario: A client comes to you for 6 months of training with the main goal of improving his cardiorespiratory endurance. Six months from now, how will you know if your training program was a success? Perhaps your client will say he looks and feels better. Maybe you will notice he is able to exercise for longer periods at a much higher intensity than before training began. On the other hand, if you choose to administer a cardiorespiratory fitness test prior to and following the training program, you will be able to measure the client’s success objectively and provide him with better feedback. What Is Cardiorespiratory Fitness? Cardiorespiratory fitness is the ability to perform dynamic, moderate- to high-intensity exercise involving large-muscle groups for prolonged periods of time (American College of Sports Medicine [ACSM] 2000). The most important measure of cardiorespiratory fitness is maximal oxygen consumption, or VO 2 max. In general, VO 2 max is determined by the maximal amount of blood the heart pumps per minute (cardiac output) and the amount of oxygen utilized by the exercising muscles (arterial-venous oxygen difference)."

A resting heart rate is the number of beats per minute when somebody has been sitting or lying down for ten minutes. Those with a resting heart rate of between 60 and 100 beats per minute are considered to have normal heart rates. A resting heart rate is determined by a person's:circulating hormoneslevel of physical fitnessthe autonomic nervous system Scientists have known that very physically active people usually have a low heart rate at rest, however, the researchers in this study wanted to determine whether heart rate had any impact on a person's risk of death, regardless of their level of cardiorespiratory fitness. The health of about 3,000 men who were part of the Copenhagen Male Study was monitored for 16 years. It began in 1970-71 to track middle-aged men's cardiovascular health at 14 large companies in Copenhagen. In 1971, all subjects were asked questions by a physician regarding their health and lifestyle, including whether they smoked and exercised. They were also given a physical examination. The participants also performed a cycling test, set at three different levels of exertion, in order for the experts to evaluate their cardiorespiratory fitness. In 1985-6, another check-up was given to just under 3,000 of the original volunteers in which blood pressure, height, weight, blood glucose, and blood fats were measured."

"text": "Chronological Age vs Functional Age – How Old Are You, Really? February 28, 2015Many people would agree that we benefit from the increased experience that comes with age. However, with each passing year, the aging of the body creates its own difficulties—the inevitable aches, strains, and pains of bones, joints, and muscles, not to mention changes in appearance. These changes are intimately linked with the passage of time. We may be able to alter the clock by setting it forward or backward an hour depending on the season, but we can’t change our biological clock. No one has figured out how to alter the pace-setter cells that mysteriously link the body’s aging with the number of times the earth revolves around the sun. Researchers into the aging process find their job made far more difficult by this age-time conundrum. Are the changes we think are due to aging actually due to social and historical changes? Consider aging within the Baby Boom generation vs. aging within Gen X: The Boomers had few of the benefits of improved social attitudes toward healthy eating and fitness characteristic of the younger generation as it approachesmidlife. The Boomers also lived through a different historical period that affected their social and political attitudes differently."

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."

They also have very little thermal mass, so they heat up very, very quickly. The engine block may be made of either aluminum or iron - if it's iron, it has a comparitively very low thermal expansion coefficient. It also has a great deal of thermal mass, so it heats up much more slowly. The upshot here is that the pistons will get hotter faster than the block will, and since they have that very high thermal expansion coefficient they'll expand radically as they get hot, while the cylinder they live in will not. The pistons will bind against the cylinder walls, badly scoring those walls, seizing the piston, potentially breaking the connecting rod, and possibly even permanently welding the piston in place.

Having found no exact definition, I assumed the Load to be dependent on the % of the Throttle being open and, thus, also dependent on the ratio of mixture volume to the full cylinder volume. WOT causes this ratio to be equal to 1 (or higher, if we have a volumetric efficiency > 100%), % of Throttle being open less than 100 causes the volume of mixture be smaller than the cylinder volume. Right? But RPM depends on the Throttle opening as well. Does it also mean that the RPM is proportional to the Engine Load? I feel I have a mess in my head.

Does it mean Car 1 has better power than Car 2 because it is at lower rpm? It depends. Or does the rpm not affect the power comparison?tl;dr: The rpm of the power peak affects the engine's usability for different applications. The \"\"peak power\"\" number is just one point on the power band of the engine. Ideally, you'd like to know the entire curve (and how its affected by ambient air temperature, altitude, humidity, phases of the moon, etc): In this figure, we see the horsepower and torque curves for two engines (where torque is solid and horsepower is dotted)."

"text": "How to Become a Mechanic Talent and an affinity for engines are musts for aspiring mechanics. Those who are serious about creating a strong career must turn to formal education and in-depth training in order to work in the competitive automotive field. These steps provide an overview of what it takes. Step 1 Do some homework The certainty that working on vehicles is a great career path is one thing – knowing exactly where to take that dream is another. Look into the various possibilities, from working in a busy shop to training on vehicles that require a site-visit to diagnose and fix. Once the focus is narrowed, it will be easier to move to the next step. Explore Mechanic Schools & Degree Programs >>Step 2 Complete a formal training program Completing a post-secondary program in automotive service technology offers strong preparation that employers recognize and appreciate. It is also important to note that some certifications require a background of formal education, so it pays to go to class. Programs might last from six months to a year for a certificate, or two years for an associate degree. Some rare programs offer the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree."

"text": "\"This Site Was Built With You In Mind!What is a Bad Oxygen Sensor?by Eddie Carrara Auto computer codes or diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) are stored in your vehicles computer when there is a problem with your car's engine or emission controls. All cars built in the US from 1981 to 1995 were built with a system call OBD1, (On-board diagnostics one), basically the system monitored manufacturers specific systems in the vehicle, if there was a fault with one of the systems, it would send a signal to the computer, and that would activate the '' CHECK ENGINE'' light. Think you might have a bad oxygen sensor ? Virtually every car produced since the early 1980's contains a sensor which measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust, then sends a signal to the engines computer to adjust the fuel mixture being delivered to the engine. The oxygen sensor works by sending information to your vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU) to help your car run efficiently as well as to reduce emissions. Symptoms of a Bad Oxygen Sensor When you have a bad oxygen sensor, your vehicle will run less efficiently, it can sometimes have a poor idle, erratic jerking at steady throttle, hard starting problems, cause the check engine light to come on, and will cause high fuel consumption. Thus, when oxygen sensor failure has been determined (When the check engine light comes on and sets an O2 sensor code) the sensor must then be replaced, a costly repair if you rely on a garage to do the work for you. However, replacing an oxygen sensor is a job that you can do yourself, (as long as the O2 sensor is not completely rotted into the pipe or catalytic converter) thereby saving you precious time and money. Let’s take a closer look at just what an oxygen sensor does and the steps you can take to do the work yourself. What is an Oxygen Sensor?"

"text": "\"The Republican River in Hitchcock County, Nebraska, is completely dry on July 25, 2005. Photo courtesy of Melissa Melvin, SNR/NDMC. Drought is an insidious hazard of nature. It is often referred to as a \"\"creeping phenomenon\"\" and its impacts vary from region to region. Drought can therefore be difficult for people to understand. It is equally difficult to define, because what may be considered a drought in, say, Bali (six days without rain) would certainly not be considered a drought in Libya (annual rainfall less than 180 mm). In the most general sense, drought originates from a deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time--usually a season or more--resulting in a water shortage for some activity, group, or environmental sector. Its impacts result from the interplay between the natural event (less precipitation than expected) and the demand people place on water supply, and human activities can exacerbate the impacts of drought. Because drought cannot be viewed solely as a physical phenomenon, it is usually defined both conceptually and operationally. Conceptual Definitions Conceptual definitions, formulated in general terms, help people understand the concept of drought."

By Robin Banerji BBC World Service7 December 2012Share Oscar Niemeyer the Brazilian architect who died this week will be best remembered for Brasilia, the city he helped design in the late 1950s. Niemeyer's modernist architecture made Brazil's federal capital a Unesco World Heritage site in 1987. But does it work as a city? Brasilia was planned from scratch as an ideal city and built on an empty plateau. Niemeyer was the architect and Lucio Costa the urban planner. The idea was, in Niemeyer's words, \"\"to build a new capital to bring progress to the interior of Brazil\"\". Built in the country's heartland, Brasilia was to be the opposite of the old coastal capital Rio de Janeiro. Brasilia would be without the colonial legacy, without baroque and classical architecture, without slums. This was a new city of clean lines, rational planning, and space."

How many people can you follow/unfollow on Instagram at a time? Image Credit: Bored Panda We attempted to answer this question previously.

"text": "\"Communication What is the difference between a seminar and a workshop? May 7, 2014La Kesha Womack0 Comments What is the difference between a seminar and a workshop? I can’t be the only person who has wondered this… We often see seminar and workshop being used interchangeably to describe a person presenting information to a group of people. However, there is a small difference between the two and in my opinion, it sets the expectation for the intended audience. Merriam Webster defines a seminar as:a meeting in which you receive information on and training in a particular subject While a workshop is defined as:a class or series of classes in which a small group of people learn the methods and skills used in doing something What’s my point? Often when we plan events, we neglect giving the event the proper title therefore people don’t know what to expect when they arrive. A seminar should set the expectation that the audience will receive information. In this setting the speaker will be sharing information or teaching about a subject. A workshop, on the other hand, sets the expectation that the audience will be engaged and involved with the training. This is important, especially for event planners, to understand so that when you book a speaker, you can be clear about what you want them to do."

Marketing communication can be done in several ways that is why a career in marketing opens several doors as a profession. In the marketing profession, your job will be to take a \"\"generic\"\" product and/or service and associate that product or service with a brand name. Marketing can be defined as being the intermediary function between product development and sales. Think of it as the storehouse for such things as advertising, public relations, media planning, sales strategy, and more. It's the marketing professionals job create, manage, and enhance brands. This ensures that consumers look beyond the price and function of a product or service when they are weighing consumption options. A key part of a career in marketing is to understand the needs, preferences, and constraints that define the target group of consumers or the market niche corresponding to the brand."

"text": "Substantive Due Process places limits on government regulation In planning and zoning, substantive due process is about the substance (topic) of regulation, that the regulation is directly related to its purpose, and is the least amount of regulation to do the job. Posted on August 21, 2013 by Kurt H. Schindler, Michigan State University Extension Tweet Pin It When regulating people’s property, one of the major concerns in the United States is that the regulation does not become too much – so that it does not infringe on a person’s private property rights. There are many ways government regulation may tread on someone’s property rights. Some of those are listed here: The regulation is so much, that it results in “taking” one’s property without just compensation – takings. Failing to follow due process of law – due process. The substance or content of the regulation exceeds what is appropriate subject matter for government to be regulating – substantive due process. Failure to respect and follow the division of authority between the different parts of government – separation of powers. This article will focus on substantive due process. Substantive due process has to do with the substance of the regulation, and that the regulation has a logical connection between the governments purpose and the regulation itself, and finally that the regulation is the least amount possible while still achieving the public purpose. Substantive due process is one of our constitutional rights found in the 5th and 14th Amendments, Bill of Rights, of the United States Constitution."

"text": "Professionals, such as doctors and dentists, are a lot like you and me. They have to plan for retirement too. But unlike you and me, these professionals have access to a wide variety retirement-planning tools and techniques. They also have a few more retirement-planning problems that other retirement savers typically don’t have. “Both professions have their challenges,” said Kevin Meehan, a certified financial planner with Wealth Enhancement Group in Itasca, Ill. What are some of the retirement-planning challenges and issues that professionals should consider? Seeking balance According to John Smith, a certified financial planner with Balasa Dinverno Foltz in Itasca, Ill., doctors and dentists, and others in similar professions, must strike a balance between protecting their assets from lawsuits and creating a tax-efficient portfolio. For instance, he said doctor and dentist typically put as much of their future retirement savings into a qualified retirement plan which is protected against lawsuits,” said Smith. “ However, the end result at retirement is often times a doctor or dentist having a disproportionate amount of net worth in retirement accounts, which are then taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn for spending needs. ”This, said Smith, often results in the professional being “trapped” in a very high marginal tax bracket during their retirement years and therefore result in excessive income taxes being owed without the flexibility to avoid this. “The ‘tax cost’ of this can be a very expensive trade off for what in their minds is a good way to protect their assets from lawsuits during their working years and the result is them then having to save a lot more for their retirement needs than would have otherwise been necessary had they been focused on what they ‘get to keep’ after taxes,” said Smith."

As part of an overall marketing strategy, some companies turn to an advertising agency to develop an advertising campaign. Ad agencies combine their creative and research expertise with the input of the client to develop a campaign that appeals to customers. When used properly, an ad agency can save you the time of creating your own campaign, can provide market and industry expertise, and can help you increase revenue or improve brand recognition. History Advertising agencies started in the late 1800s and were limited in scope. They did not create ads but simply served as a broker of advertising space in newspapers and magazines. Over time, agencies added creative services to increase revenue. Function The main role of an advertising agency is to work with you to develop an advertising campaign. Advertising agencies are staffed with copywriters, art directors and media planners who will create your ads and place them in the appropriate media. The agency will work within the constraints of your advertising budget."

Public pressure for making the legal system more accessible is responsible for some of the increased demand. Hard-pressed businesses looking for ways to control their legal costs are also responsible for mediation's rise in popularity. Corporate counsel increasingly choose outside lawyers on the basis of the outsider's commitment to ADR, according to a recent article.

Historically, methods used to settle disputes have ranged from negotiation, to courtroom litigation, and even to physical combat. The legal needs of countries, multinational companies, and ordinary people have changed over the last decade. When faced with a dispute, business people are learning that, whenever possible, it is more advantageous to reach practical and private agreements than to fight for years and spend huge amounts of money in courtroom battles. Due to the vast amounts of time and money involved in the trial process, the American and Italian business communities have increasingly turned to legal alternatives that are more prompt, private and economical than the courtroom. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to the wide spectrum of legal avenues that use means other than trial to settle disputes. The main ADR alternatives to civil litigation are negotiation, arbitration, conciliation and mediation. Other, more particular ADR processes available are early neutral evaluation, mini-trial, summary jury trial, and the judicial settlement conference. Disputing parties use these ADR methods because they are expeditious, private, and generally much less expensive than a trial."

Share this conversation Answered in 21 minutes by: 8/27/2007Lawyer: Attorney & Mediator California has no specific legal age where a child can stay home alone. Rather, the law provides that the parent must be able to make the determination if their child is competent and capable of taking care of themselves and to handle every possible risk of harm which can occur if left alone. Below is a standard guide that the California Department of Health and Services has provided about this issue. If you wish to learn more about this contact your county's department of social services that handles this issue. In California, there is not a legal age at which a minor can be left unsupervised. Age in and of itself is not a reliable guide. There are several additional factors that influence whether it is appropriate to leave a child alone, even for short periods of time. Parents should use good judgment in deciding if their child (ren) is mature enough to be left without adult supervision."

Smith, Abramson Smith Waldsmith, San Francisco, California Doris Cheng, Walkup Melodia Kelly & Schoenberger, San Francisco, California I. Introduction Timing is critical when it comes to settlement. The key to successful resolution is figuring out when the time is right and then what to do in order to maximize the chances of a favorable settlement. The plaintiff's attorney has more control over this than you might expect. Sir Francis Bacon observed, \"\"A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.\"\" But many attorneys are programmed not to discuss settlement until they are in a formal mediation setting, and that is foolish. The following is an analysis of critical stages when maximum settlement can be achieved. A. Prior To The Filing of the Case. Claimants now have two years to file suit (unless the action involves a public entity or medical negligence). If the damages can be determined within this period, you may be able to resolve your case early, but an initial consideration is the amount of the insurance policy limits. In situations where the damages exceed the policy limits, a resolution may be very swift."

Courts in South Carolina recognizes four “fault” grounds for divorce: Adultery Physical Cruelty Desertion Habitual Drunkenness and/or Drug Abuse In addition, there is one “no-fault” ground recognized by South Carolina courts, called “Living Separate and Apart for One Year Without Cohabitation. ”In order to obtain a divorce, the party filing for divorce must prove at least one of these grounds with legally sufficient evidence. “ Legally sufficient evidence” refers to that evidence which satisfies the Court that one of the grounds exists, and this is done usually via third party testimony, a witness or private detective who can testify to a couple’s lack of cohabitation, or a party’s infidelity. Do my spouse and I need to agree to get a divorce? No. Your spouse cannot stop you from obtaining a divorce if you can prove your ground for divorce and your spouse does not have a legitimate defense to dispute your claim. What is a legal separation?

It is important for you to know that the lender can't take your house automatically if you have missed mortgage payments. The lender must take you to court where you have several options to try to save your home. It is important for you to be aware that in many cases a mortgage foreclosure can be prevented.

Mediation is an informal, confidential, and flexible process in which the mediator helps the parties to understand the interests of everyone involved, and their practical and legal choices. It can help people resolve civil, family, juvenile and other matters in a less adversarial setting. Court mediation programs have been shown to save the parties time and money, improve satisfaction with the court’s services and reduce future disputes and offenses. The mediator helps the parties to:communicate better,explore legal and practical settlement options, andreach an acceptable solution of the problem. The mediator does not decide the solution to the dispute; the parties do. Mediation can result in a legally enforceable contract agreed to, in writing, by the parties. Mediators are allowed to charge for their time, although some court-sponsored programs are free to all Monterey County residents. California Superior Courts increasingly encourage and offer mediation for a broad range of issues and case types. The Monterey Superior Court currently provides a court-directed mediation program and facilitates a small claims and unlawful detainer mediation program ."

"text": "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15The Narrative Approach to Mediationby Toran Hansen September 2003Narrative Mediation is a new approach to mediation that was spurned by Narrative Family Therapy, developed in the mid-1980s by Michael White and David Epston, in Australia. It came out of their interest in post-modernism and social constructionism, in examining the making of meaning through the filter of language and the subjective interpretation of “facts”. While Narrative Therapy has become relatively mainstream in Family Therapy, Narrative Mediation is still a relatively new and unexplored phenomenon in the field of mediation. Narrative Mediation is being pioneered presently in Waikato Mediation Services in Hamilton, New Zealand, through the work of John Winslade, Gerald Monk, and Alison Cotter. Monk and Winslade have also taught counseling courses at the University of Waikato, at the School of Education’s Human Development and Counseling Program, where Winslade is at present a Senior Lecturer. At this time, Monk is the Director of the School Counseling Program at the College of Education at San Diego State University. Now, I would like to tell you a story about Narrative Mediation. “It is widely accepted that mediation is a storytelling process… telling one’s story in mediation serves simultaneously the ethical mandate, “participation”, as well as the pragmatic mandate to move “from story to settlement” (Harrington and Davis in Cobb 1994, 48). The story is at once its content, contained within the body of the story itself (the actual set of events) and its telling, or the complete discourse around the way the story is delivered (Cobb 1994, 50-51). In mediation, the conflict parties’ stories act like “theories of responsibility”, which construct the logical, causal linkages between actors, their actions, and outcomes (Cobb 1994, 52)."

"text": "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15What Does “Empowerment” Look Like And How Can Mediators Facilitate It?by Donal O’Reardon January 2011Introduction: The literature on mediation and conflict resolution often talks about “empowerment”. A respected name in mediation like Bernard Mayer, for example, says “the essence of what the field of conflict resolution has to offer to disputants is an empowering approach to solving serious conflict”. [ 1] Similarly, the authors of The Promise of Mediation, a key text for the “transformative” model of mediation, see “empowerment” as one of two key features of a credible resolution method (the other being “recognition”). They describe an “empowerment shift” as a process in which “the party moves from weakness to greater strength”. [ 2] Many other authors and practitioners in the field would assent that “empowerment” is a vital aspect of dispute resolution. It is strange then, that there does not seem to be any agreed understanding of what “empowerment” exactly is. Indeed the literature on dispute resolution is often mute when it comes to articulating any conception of empowerment. I will have more to say about what I think empowerment is as we go along. To start out though, I think a helpful description is that empowerment is a key component of fulfilled human living. It is a state in which the person is at home with their identity and has cultivated a healthy relationship to the world and to their choices."

The issues covered include but at not limited to the following:1. Distribution of Property (Assets/Liabilities)2. Child Custody and Parenting Time3. Child Support/Maintenance4. Retirement5.

"text": "\"Divorce Mediation FAQMediation allows separating and divorcing couples to take control of planning their own lives and make good decisions about their future. It is especially beneficial for parents, who though separating, will need to continue making joint decisions about their children well into the future. The decision-making process learned in mediation can serve as a model for future communications. Also, mediated settlements have a consistently higher compliance rate because the husband and wife have created their own agreement. Here is a collection of Frequently Asked Questions about Divorce Mediation. What Does The Mediator Do? A family law mediator is a neutral party specially trained to help couples resolve the issues in their divorce. The mediator facilitates the communication between the parties by making sure each party is given an uninterrupted time to speak, asking a party to restate or explain a point when necessary, and asking questions to make communication clear. The mediator also provides information about the legal system, how issues may be viewed by lawyers or judges, and what alternatives there are for solving issues. When necessary, the mediator will refer the couple to third party experts for services such as appraisals."

( You may be the general contractor or architectural firm to whom the developer is looking for recovery. Or, you may be one of the two dozen subcontractors and vendors who worked on the project who everyone else is blaming for the leaks.) You have learned that if this claim can be resolved out of court, you could avoid the time and cost of deposing witnesses, preparing for trial, and trial. Depositions, including an army of experts would take 115 days. Preparation for trial and the trial itself would take another 120 days. It would cost close to two million dollars in attorneys fees, expert witness fees and other expenses to recover the several million dollars in repair costs.

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions About Child Custody Mediation What is Child Custody Mediation? Child custody mediation allows parents to maintain control over their decisions, and to feel positive about what happens to their children following separation or divorce. The more common or better known method of resolving custody disputes is known as litigation, which involves turning the decisions relating to custody over to the court for resolution. Litigation is typically stressful, expensive, and contentious. But the biggest problem with litigation is that a judge who is a stranger to the children makes binding decisions about custody and other extremely important issues in the children's lives. Most child custody professionals feel strongly that the components of typical litigation is often not in a child's best interests and does not result in the most meaningful custody plan for children or parents. How does Child Custody Mediation differ from a conventional litigated custody dispute? Child custody mediation differs from the more conventional litigated custody dispute in nearly every respect. Whereas in the litigation method that most people are perhaps more familiar with, each party retains an attorney to go to court to \"\"fight\"\" on their behalf in an effort to \"\"win\"\" custody of their children. It is an adversarial process that is based on terms such as fighting, battle, winning, losing."

Family mediation is a confidential decision-making process in which a neutral facilitator assists parties in reaching informed settlement of questions arising from separation, divorce, or other family conflicts. Although a judge may order parties to try mediation, they are not required to enter into any agreements. Any agreements are entered into voluntarily by the parties themselves, and no rights are waived. If the parties can't agree in mediation, they will end up in court, where a judge will decide their disputes.2."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-a-pathologist.htm\nWhat is a Pathologist?",
"text": "A pathologist is a doctor who has specialized in pathology after receiving his or her medical degree. This specialization in the US usually means another three to four years of study and practice prior to becoming board certified. Pathology is, in essence, the study of blood, fluid, and tissue samples, which allow doctors to make diagnoses of various illnesses by looking for specific factors lacking or present in these samples. In medical care, this professional is a very valuable part of the medical team, since many diseases are diagnosed or ruled out by microscopic and lab analysis of fluid or tissue samples. There are several subspecialties in pathology that a person in this field might choose to enter. Some master all or at least several subspecialties so that work and career path can be more diverse. A distinction also must be made between anatomical and clinical pathologists. Most clinical pathologists oversee labs and the workers or automated equipment that perform tests on various bodily fluid or tissue samples. In contrast, the anatomical pathologist may practice in one or several of these subspecialties: surgical pathology, cytopathology, molecular pathology, or forensic pathology. Others may specialize in performing autopsies that can be a means of determining death."

"text": "\"Laboratory Archive To return to the current Laboratory Compliance Question of the Week, click here For the Week of April 6, 2015Question: The 2015 CPT Manual has prefatory and parenthetical language that instructs providers to not use chemistry section codes for drug-screening tests (unless there is a specific analyte code) and refers them to the new CPT codes that CMS will not pay in 2015. In one group of four codes, the descriptors have been changed to “non-drug.” Since CMS does not recognize the new codes, how should this be handled? Answer: For 2015, use the instructions in the Drug Testing section and Chemistry section of the 2014 CPT Manual and ignore the 2015 prefatory and parenthetical language, as well as the change in descriptors for CPT codes 82541, 82542, 82543, and 82544 that prohibit the use of CPT codes in the Chemistry section for testing for drugs.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------For the Week of March 30, 2015Question: My question is a follow-up to last week’s posting about the fact that CMS is not paying for the new drug-assay codes. How are labs supposed to bill for these since these new codes replace the 2014 codes that the AMA deleted? Answer: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) realizes that its decision not to pay the new codes means that there are not sufficient codes available to bill the tests for drugs of abuse, so it created alphanumeric G codes as replacements and instructed providers to use these “in the same manner in which they used the corresponding CPT codes for 2014.” The replacement G codes can be found on pages 2–4 in the 2015 CLFS final determinations at http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/Clinical Lab Fee Sched/Downloads/CY2015-CLFS-Codes-Final-Determinations.pdf.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------For the Week of March 23, 2015Question: When will CMS post the CLFS payments for the new drug-assay codes? Answer: There will be no Medicare payment for the 63 new 2015 drug-assay codes (80300–80377) in the foreseeable future. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the reason is due to its “long-standing concerns about the potential for fraudulent and abusive billing of drugs tests. ”In its October 2014 announcement of this decision, CMS stated that it was concerned that “the structure of the new drug testing codes may not prevent abusive billing.”"

"text": "Introduction Most speech-language pathologists (or speech therapists) work in schools, but they are rarely classified as a certified teacher unless they complete the appropriate process to obtain teaching credentials. Instead, speech-language pathologists are professionals who have been trained to work with children and adults who suffer from speech disorders. They are usually employed full- or part-time at one or more schools, and may work with students on an individual basis, or in groups. The goal is always the same for all speech teachers, to help students effectively communicate and speak more clearly. In most states, a master’s degree is the minimum educational requirement needed to become licensed as a speech pathologist. What does a speech-language pathologist do? Among other things, speech-language pathologists play an essential role in any school’s special education team. As part of the team, their first job is to test students for speech sound delays and disorders, language delays and disorders, and fluency disorders (such as stuttering). If it is discovered that a student has a disorder, a speech-language pathologist develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP), which details how the student is currently functioning in their classroom; the goals of a tailored speech therapy plan; and how many minutes per week the student will be seen. The primary function of school speech-language pathologists is to work with students on an individual basis to help improve their communication skills through interventions and exercises."

But according to the National Academy of Sciences, the U. S. is facing a critical shortage of these professionals. 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. What does a forensic pathologist do? 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? Like most medical subspecialties, forensic pathology takes years of training -- typically, four years of medical school, followed by three to four years of training in anatomical or clinical pathology."

Although I have sought and received advice from bona fide forensic pathologists in preparing this FAQ, all opinions (and errors) here are mine. Q. What is forensic pathology? A. Forensic pathology is the subspecialty of pathology that focuses on the medicolegal investigation of sudden or unexpected death. Q. OK, so what is pathology? A. Pathology is the medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis of diseases and injuries by examination of body tissues and fluids, typically in the laboratory setting. There are two main branches of pathology: Anatomic pathology involves the morphologic evaluation of tissues removed from living or dead individuals, using the unassisted senses (sight, touch, smell) and the microscope. The three main areas of anatomic pathology are autopsy pathology, surgical pathology, and cytopathology. Forensic pathology is concerned almost exclusively with autopsy pathology, or evaluation of the deceased. General pathologists, on the other hand, spend most of their time practicing surgical pathology and cytopathology, in which specimens removed from living patients are examined."

"text": "How Much Does a Speech Pathologist Make? A career in speech pathology provides you with the chance to help others communicate with the world, thus opening new doors for your patients every day. Whether their speech impediments were caused by traumatic injuries, medical conditions, or developmental delays, you work to assess, diagnose, treat, and prevent speech, language, and cognitive-communication disorders. When your patients have trouble speaking or formulating thoughts in the correct order, you help find solutions to the problem and give them a voice — sometimes for the first time in their lives. What is the income of a Speech Pathologist? The time and effort invested in your master’s degree in education is rewarded with an ample Speech Pathologist salary. The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average income of a Speech Pathologist was $74,680 as of May 2016. The lowest-paid 10 percent of speech pathology jobs pay an average salary of less than $47,070 annually, while the highest-paid 10 percent pay more than $116,810. The middle 50 percent of Speech Pathologists earn between $58,480 and $95,000, proving that the average income of a Speech Pathologist is better than the income of many other professionals. The determining factors of the income of a Speech Pathologist include the industry of employment, the location, and the level of experience."

"text": "Speech-language pathology assistants help licensed pathologists assess patients. So you’ve declared your major and it's official -- you’re going to earn a bachelor’s in speech-language pathology. But what does that mean in terms of a future career? Because licensed speech-language pathologists actually need to have at least a master’s degree, you won’t be able to jump into that sort of professional clinical work right away. However, you still have many options for how you can put your degree to good use after you’ve graduated from your undergraduate institution. Just a few of the places that you could find work include schools, hospitals, private medical practices, universities, health care centers, government departments and rehabilitation centers. Speech Language Pathology Assistant Though you won’t have the education necessary to call yourself a pathologist, you can still work with licensed pathologists and get some real-world experience in the field of communication disorders. Depending on the state you live in, you might be called an aide rather than an assistant, but in either case you will be performing specific tasks with a limited amount of clinical responsibility. Assistant duties can include documenting patient progress, helping with patient assessment and maintaining equipment. Be aware that not every state permits employment of speech-language pathology personnel, though if that’s the case, you could find related work as a teacher’s assistant or in a position with a similar title."

Their responsibilities include helping stroke victims and patients with traumatic brain injuries speak more clearly, for example. Laws vary, but nearly all states require speech therapists to be licensed, and the standard educational level is a master's degree. The required undergraduate and graduate study for speech therapists plus post-graduate clinical practice takes approximately seven years. Undergraduate Degree Prospective speech therapists must complete a four-year bachelor's degree that includes the required prerequisite courses, depending on which graduate program you wish to attend. In general, the American Speech-Language Hearing Association recommends classes in linguistics, phonetics, semantics, psychology and human development. Other ASHA-recommended subjects include social sciences, math, biology, physiology and physical science. A major in communication sciences and disorders provides a solid foundation, but you can select a different major if you take the necessary prerequisites. Master's Degree Basics A master's degree in speech and language pathology generally takes two years after the bachelor's degree, and some states require a program accredited by ASHA's Council on Academic Accreditation. Typical master's-level classes include phonetics, acoustics, anatomy, physiology and developmental psychology."

Here are my answers to some of their frequently asked questions: Q. Why did you decide to become a forensic pathologist? A. I wanted to be a doctor ever since I was a kid. My dad was a doctor (a psychiatrist) and from him I was exposed to medicine as a career early in life. I spent a lot of time going through his anatomy textbooks and really wanted to know how the body worked. During medical school the Department of Pathology was responsible for training all the students in anatomy (the parts of the body), physiology (how those parts all work together) and pathology (what goes wrong in the body). The teachers were excellent and they encouraged me to go into pathology. Q. What education do you need to become a forensic pathologist? A. In order to be a forensic pathologist in the United States, you need to go to college, medical school and then do residency training in pathology (3 years minimum) and then fellowship training in forensics.

"text": "Clinical pathology is the study and diagnosis of diseases by analyzing body fluids. Clinical pathologists study fluids such as blood and urine to diagnose diseases. A clinical pathologist may choose to specialize in one type of pathology, such as chemistry, hematology or microbiology. In the United States, clinical pathologists are certified through the American Board of Pathology. This board licenses physicians in a variety of specialties. In some countries, it is not necessary to be a doctor to specialize in clinical pathology. Some countries allow other medical professionals, such as pharmacists, to receive licensing. Each area of specialization in clinical pathology has its own unique set of standards. Clinical chemistry, for example, focuses on the study and analysis of body fluids. Clinical chemistry is also known as chemical pathology."

"text": "Laboratory assistants receive and store blood and other samples. Doctors are often able to make an accurate diagnosis based on your symptoms, but they can draw on other tools when they are uncertain. For example, they may order laboratory tests on your blood or cell tissues to check for specific problems. Labs employ a number of technical professionals with varying levels of skill and education. Entry-level positions are held by laboratory assistants. Laboratory Structure Whether it's a standalone laboratory serving multiple facilities or the in-house lab at a hospital or clinic, your local laboratory is designed to make cost-effective use of its staff. The pathologists who oversee the lab's operation are its most valuable asset, and their time is jealously guarded. Pathologists perform the most challenging tests and diagnoses, and oversee the work of other staff. Highly trained technologists perform many test procedures and prescreen the results for the pathologists' review. Laboratory technicians attend to routine tests and screening under the technologists' supervision, while laboratory assistants take care of routine chores that don't require a technician's expertise."

By Fred Decker; Updated July 05, 2017Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images There are few things more frustrating than an inability to communicate effectively. Most people experience it occasionally, but for anyone with a speech or language disorder it's a daily reality. Speech-language pathologists are specialized practitioners who diagnose and treat these disorders, helping patients with problems ranging from a stammer to severe neurological conditions. Careers in the field begin with an undergraduate degree. Training Becoming a speech-language pathologist typically takes six to seven years of training. Aspiring pathologists begin by obtaining a bachelor's degree that meets the prerequisites for a graduate program in speech-language pathology, just as doctors begin with a pre-medical degree. Certification as a speech pathologist requires a master's or doctoral degree, which can take an additional two to three years. Each graduate program has its own set of prerequisite coursework, so check each school's requirements before beginning your undergraduate degree. Communication Sciences and Disorders If you start school with the intention of becoming a speech-language pathologist, a major in communication sciences and disorders, or CSD, is the obvious choice."

"text": "What is a Medical Science Liaison? The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) is a specific role within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, CRO and other health-care industries. MSLs have advanced scientific training and academic credentials generally consisting of a doctorate degree (Ph. D., Pharm D., M. D.) in the life sciences. They concentrate on a specific Therapeutic Area (i.e. Oncology, Cardiology, CNS, Pulmonary, Hematology, Surgery, Women’s Health Care, etc) and disease state. Medical Science Liaisons are vital in the success of a company. They work throughout a product’s lifecycle, help to ensure that products are utilized effectively, serve as scientific peers and resources within the medical community, and are scientific experts to internal colleagues at companies. However, the primary purpose of the MSL role is to establish and maintain peer-peer relationships with leading physicians, referred to as Key Opinion Leaders (KOL’s), at major academic institutions and clinics. Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) were first established by Upjohn Pharmaceuticals in 1967 as a response to the need for scientifically trained field staff that would be able to build rapport with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in various therapeutic areas of research. Although originally called Medical Science Liaisons by Upjohn, over the years and today, companies have used various names for the role including: Medical Liaisons, Medical Managers, Regional Scientific Managers, Clinical Liaisons, and Scientific Affairs Managers among others."

"text": "An Interview with Medical Science Liaison Shannon Payne, Ph DCan you describe your career progression including where you’re currently working and what do you do there? I currently work as a medical science liaison (MSL) covering the Pacific Northwest region, a geography spanning from Bellingham, WA to San Jose, CA and to the eastern edge of Utah, but my path to this position has been anything but a straight line. I entered graduate school to study molecular plant pathology following a year spent working as a research technician at a University of Florida agricultural research center in Bradenton, FL. After some fits and starts in my graduate career, I ended up in a human genetics laboratory studying the genetics of breast and ovarian cancer. My Ph D research led to a postdoctoral fellowship in mouse models of gastrointestinal cancer at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC). I cannot say enough good things about the “Hutch” (as it is affectionately known). The research and the mentorship are of the highest caliber, as you might expect for an institution with its history of ground-breaking medical research. What you might not expect is that there is also a strong commitment to support its trainees in whatever direction their career might take them, even if that means outside of academia. The Hutch’s Student Postdoctoral Advisory Committee, passionately led by Karen Peterson (herself a former Hutch postdoctoral fellow), has been at the forefront of a movement to prepare trainees for career paths on which they might realistically find themselves. The support and encouragement I found in that group helped me to transition from my academic postdoc to a position as a scientist in industry."

In the last few decades nursing has become a much-sought-after profession, as the pay is very good and jobs for nurses are steadily increasing, especially at the highly skilled level. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for instance, Nurse Anesthetists, Nurse Midwives, and Nurse Practitioners – all types of advanced practice nurses – can expect job availability to grow at a rate of 31 percent between 2012 and 2022. This is much faster than average, and comes with an average salary of $96,460 per year or $46.37 per hour to boot. With such excellent stats on its side, advanced practice nursing is a great profession to enter, but it does require a master’s degree. If you already have a nursing background, you may be able to enroll in a program right away.

"text": "What is Online Infidelity? How we define online infidelity Posted Dec 09, 2014SHARETWEETEMAILMOREOnline infidelity, sometimes referred to as a cyberaffair, has typically been defined as an encounter initiated through online contact, and sustained by communication such as email or online chat (Young, 1999). Such a liaison, however brief may involve anything from discussing personal information with an online partner to cybersex. However, our judgements of unfaithful online behaviour may be determined more by the intimacy of a liaison. For example, sharing emotional and intimate information with another person online elicits higher ratings for judgements of infidelity than viewing pornographic material online (Whitty, 2003). This finding is in some ways unsurprising as we would probably be less likely to be upset at our partner looking at pictures of a famous film star than we would at them sharing secrets with a close friend of the opposite sex . So if exchanging personal information with a close friend online can be considered to be unfaithful behaviour, we then need to further analyse the significant components of such an exchange. What are the salient features of online infidelity? The Time of Day of the Interaction One component which may characterise unfaithful online liaisons is the time of day at which such liaisons take place. For example, one of the changes in behaviour associated with someone having an Internet affair is a change in the hours they keep."

"text": "A clinical liaison is an all-around asset to a medical facility or care provider, and handles many different tasks related to communications and general growth within a medical provider business. The duties of the liaison range from technical handling of new patient processes, to more general community outreach. A skilled liaison is a great addition to a hospital or other care provider. This professional may have a significant role in evaluating patients, placing them within a health care context, and formally admitting or filling out file paperwork. The clinical liaison might engage in clinical assessments of patients. Record tracking may also be involved, and a liaison might help form future processes for dealing with patient data. Another role that the liaison can be charged with is promoting the growth of a medical care business. The person might do a lot of networking out in the nearby community, going to public events and representing his or her employer. Other aspects of marketing, like telecommunications or market research, might also be part of what a liaison in a clinical environment does. Ad Other staff will often meet with the clinical liaison on a regular basis to give input into some of the processes that he or she assists with."

[ 1] The belief is based on an interpretation of scripture that differs from that of other Christian denominations. [ 2] It is one of the doctrines for which Jehovah's Witnesses are best known. [ 3]Jehovah's Witnesses' literature teaches that their refusal of transfusions of whole blood or its four primary components—red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma—is a non-negotiable religious stand and that those who respect life as a gift from God do not try to sustain life by taking in blood, [4] [5] even in an emergency. [ 6] Witnesses are taught that the use of fractions such as albumin, immunoglobulins and hemophiliac preparations are \"\"not absolutely prohibited\"\", and are instead a matter of personal choice. [ 5]The doctrine was introduced in 1945, and has undergone some changes since then. Members of the group who voluntarily accept a transfusion and are not deemed repentant are regarded as having disassociated themselves from the group by abandoning its doctrines [7] [8] [9] and are subsequently shunned by members of the organization. [ 10] Although accepted by the majority of Jehovah's Witnesses, a minority does not endorse this doctrine. [ 11] [12]The Watch Tower Society has established Hospital Information Services to provide education and facilitate bloodless surgery. This service also maintains Hospital Liaison Committees, whose function is to provide support to adherents."

In its original form it stands for Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. [ 1] The protocol was originally developed as a memory aid for rescuers performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the most widely known use of the initialism is in the care of the unconscious or unresponsive patient, although it is also used as a reminder of the priorities for assessment and treatment of patients in many acute medical and trauma situations, from first-aid to hospital medical treatment. [ 2] Airway, breathing, and circulation are all vital for life, and each is required, in that order, for the next to be effective. Since its development, the mnemonic has been extended and modified to fit the different areas in which it is used, with different versions changing the meaning of letters (such as from the original 'Circulation' to 'Compressions') or adding other letters (such as an optional \"\"D\"\" step for Disability or Defibrillation ). In 2010, the American Heart Association and International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation changed the recommended order of CPR interventions for most cases of cardiac arrest to chest compressions, airway, breathing or CAB.

Listen, I have worked out at 2 Anytime Fitness gyms before in 2008 and 2009 and both were positive experiences.

The two 24 hour fitness centers were located in Marietta, Georgia, and Pensacola, Florida – and both were well lit, clean and all had some very good updated exercise equipment to use.

Getting a discount gym membership in Melbourne does not have to be a struggle. Image: Pixabay. Haggle Asian Street Food Walking Tour Bar Tour of Melbourne Lygon St Walking Food Tour Smartphone Photography Class Food Night Safari Melbourne Photography Course for Beginners The cost of a gym membership is not always set in stone. As membership is a recurring expense, even a very small discount can add up. Join up at the end of the month, when employees will be scrambling to reach their sales targets. This gives you extra leverage to negotiate a better price. Educate yourself on the deals available at different gyms in your area; if the gym you want to go to is not the cheapest, ask if they will match their competitors' deals. Haggling a better price will give you two things to be smug about when you beat your personal best."

"text": "Anytime Fitness: Membership, Fees, Discounts, Costs/Pricing About Membership, Fees & Costs Deals, Discounts & Coupons Guest Passes Locations Each Anytime Fitness gym does their own pricing and most of the gyms require you to call and come in for a consultation to receive information regarding memberships, so it is hard to say the exact price of an Anytime Fitness membership. Depending on the gym and the type of membership you apply for, however, the cost should stay between the range of $30-$36 per month with an initial enrollment fee of about $50. In many clubs the membership fee is $44 for a single month of membership or $39 a month for a 12 month membership. More the Merrier Of course, the more people that sign up, the cheaper it will be. For two people. it should be about $100 a month combined, with a $60 initial enrollment fee. The cheapest way to get a membership at Anytime Fitness, is to enroll for a year up front, which will save you lots of money in the long run, typically falling in the range of $450-$500 a year. Regardless of the Anytime Fitness gyms, however, it is guaranteed that your membership will be less than a daily designer cup of coffee. I did not make that up. That is the Anytime promise."

Yet complaints remained about the service's interface and sometimes sketchy integration with users' personal music libraries, and Spotify, having survived the initial knock when Apple launched its rival service, continues to prosper and grow.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 10:19Smart-shopping blogs and magazines are teeming with stories about the great deals you can get on nearly everything – groceries, tires, vacations – at warehouse stores. Some financial writers even claim there’s simply no excuse for not belonging to a warehouse club if you live within driving distance to one. But there’s one obvious snag: Before you can fill up your cart with these bargains, you have to pay an annual fee of around $50 just to get in the door. Of course, this membership fee can pay for itself if the prices in the store are low enough – and if you buy enough for your annual savings to add up to $50 or more. But how can you tell whether the math works out in your favor? To answer that question, you need to delve into the murky depths of warehouse store shopping: how it works, what it costs, and just how good the prices are on the items you buy most.

I’ve said it many times: there are plenty of free sites out there, but they usually just end up being more work and frustration. I have met more women by far on match.com than on the free sites, because people who are paying for online dating are more interested in going on dates. That’s why they’re paying for it. Paying for Online Dating When you consider how important love is: the powerful force over which wars have been fought, palaces built, and which remains one of the most important factors influencing your happiness – when you consider all of that, it’s amazing that people are that concerned with cost. Love is going to make you spend some money. People spend tens of thousands of dollars on weddings, and leading up to it (if you’re a guy at least), you’re likely to spend nearly that much buying women drinks, dinners, and gifts."

Some want to find their tribe and join to reclaim their lost heritage. Some want to honor their persecuted and hidden ancestors, undoing some of the wickedness of the past, and some simply seek the truth. Regardless of why, they are all searching for information lost to them. I’d like to talk about three topics in proving Native Ancestry. First, I’d like to do some myth-busting.

The 2 mg sizes cost about $3-$4 each and 8 mg sizes cost about $6-$8 each. The usual daily dose is 1 to 3 tablets of the 8 mg size. Therefore, the cost per month is about $180-$720. Smaller supplies of Suboxone are written in the beginning. On the first visit I usually give a two or three day supply. The interval between follow-up visits increase roughly in this pattern. The second visit is after 2 to 3 days, next after 4 to 7 days, then after 7 to 10 day, then two weeks, then three weeks, then monthly.

We break down Sittercity so that you can decide on whether this online sitter service is right for you and your family. Finding someone to watch over your precious child can be a major challenge if you do not have the right resources. When Alicia Chapman had a set of newly born twin daughters, Isabella and Elena, who were born 7 weeks premature, she was advised by her doctor to find a nanny instead of bringing her kids to a daycare when she goes back to work. Like every mother returning back to work, her largest concern was who was going to take care of her kids. She joined Sittercity and was a little nervous at the beginning, especially since she did not know what to expect. However, after learning that the search process was quite easy, she posted her job requirements and within days, got over a hundred applications from child care providers on the site. She narrowed the pool to three and eventually found the perfect nanny to care for her twins. ("

"text": "\"Daniel B. Kline ( TMFDankline)Mar 17, 2017 at 2:35PMWhen a consumer pays $55 or $110 a year to join Costco ( NASDAQ: COST) he or she has to actually shop there to gain value from the membership. In most cases, once the new member spends a year actually doing that, he or she has saved enough money (or at least believes that to be the case) to make renewing an easy decision. Even when a customer does not actually take advantage of the membership, good intentions to do better next year can lead to a renewal as well. It's a loop that has benefited the fitness industry for as long as gym memberships have existed. If a consumer actually uses the gym, the monthly fee is money well spent. If he or she does not, the same underlying logic that caused the person to join in the first place (weight loss, a desire to get fit, heath concerns, etc.) keeps him or her from quitting. For the most part, you can't work out a gym where you are not a member and you can't save money shopping at Costco if you don't join. And yes, there are guest passes for gyms and backdoor ways to shop at the warehouse club. But in a broad sense, paying for membership strengthens the consumer's ties to the brand while the underlying value proposition either increases usage levels or produces guilt about leaving."

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

"text": "\"Abstract The role of families in ethical discussions about physician-assisted suicide is addressed from the viewpoint of medical ethics and the perspective of a family physician. The possibility that an individual possesses and exercises autonomy only within the context of social relationships is discussed, and the family dimensions of assisted suicide are presented. Key Words: physician-assisted, suicide, family, ethics Howard Brody, M. D., Ph. D., is Director, Center for Ethics and Humanities in the Life Sciences and Professor of Family Practice and Philosophy, Michigan State University, Lansing, Michigan 48824. Electronic Mail may be sent via Internet to 2992HOW@MSU. EDU. Introduction The publicity surrounding the activities of Dr. Jack Kevorkian since 1990 has brought physician-assisted suicide to the forefront as a medical-ethical issue in Michigan. Proponents of assisted suicide generally address the individual patient's right to be free of suffering and to exercise control over the circumstances of dying. Opponents commonly focus upon religious arguments against suicide and mercy killing; the \"\"slippery slope\"\" of feared societal consequences; and violations of physician integrity should physicians become involved in deliberately causing death. As the debate is thus framed, it is easy to assume that the family has no role, or merely a peripheral one."

As of April 5, 2018, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington have Death with Dignity statutes; the Hawaii statute, approved in 2018, goes into effect on January 1, 2019. In Montana, physician-assisted dying has been legal by State Supreme Court ruling since 2009.

Talking to Your Doctor About Death with Dignity Information in this section has been adopted from an End of Life Washington handout. It is important to discuss your end-of-life wishes with your doctor as early as possible. The benefit of doing this even if you are healthy is that if your doctor does not share your values on this subject, you will have the chance to look for a willing physician while you still have the energy and time to do so. ( It may take at least 3-4 weeks to go through the process under Death with Dignity laws from the first oral request to filling the prescription)."

Mental health counseling is the evaluation, assessment, amelioration, treatment, modification or adjustment to a disability, problem, or disorder of behavior, character, development, emotion, personality or relationship by the use of verbal or behavioral methods. Practitioners, called mental health counselors , are trained in counseling and psychotherapy to treat individuals with mental and emotional disorders and other behavioral challenges. Mental health counselors address mental health, human relationship, education and career concerns within ethical, developmental, preventive and treatment contexts. Mental health counselors demonstrate a concern for the short-term and long-term well-being of individuals, couples, families, groups and organizations. Mental health counselors are dedicated to the optimal functioning of individuals, families and organizations. The mental health counselor uses standard mental health assessment and evaluation protocols, develops patient psychosocial histories, writes treatment plans, documents patient progress, facilitates consultation and referral with other providers, and implements discharge plans. What services do licensed mental health counselors provide? Mental health counselors use assessment instruments, provide mental health counseling and psychotherapy, clinical assessment and evaluation, treatment planning and case management, prevention, discharge, and aftercare services. After identifying and evaluating mental health problems and related human development challenges, mental health counselors employ effective methods of counseling and psychotherapy to treat individuals with conditions that may include mood disorders including depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders, personality disorders, dementia and adjustment disorders."

"text": "\"What is physician aid-in-dying? Physician aid-in-dying (PAD) refers to a practice in which a physician provides a competent, terminally ill patient with a prescription for a lethal dose of medication, upon the patient's request, which the patient intends to use to end his or her own life. ( For related discussion, see also End of Life Issues . ) What role does language play in discussions of aid-in-dying? A variety of terms have historically been used to describe when a terminally ill patient uses a lethal dose of medication for the purpose of ending his or her life (or having control over the timing of death). Prior to the passage of the Oregon Death with Dignity Act in 1996, the term most often used was “physician-assisted suicide” (PAS). Those who use this term feel that it is an accurate reflection of the relationship between doctor and patient and refer to the etymological roots of suicide as “auto-killing” or “self-killing.” The use of this term ties the role of the physician to one that aids the patient in killing him or herself. However, implicit in the understanding of the word suicide is the notion of a premature death that is being hastened out of despair, therefore when mental illness impairs judgment, intervention to stop a suicide is ethically warranted because the person seeking suicide has lost his ability to carefully weigh the benefits and burdens of continued life. Generally speaking, persons who are suicidal are treated as though their decision-making capacity is compromised and health care providers often intervene and provide life-sustaining treatments (including involuntary psychiatric treatment) over the objections of the patient."

"text": "Nurse Practitioner Vs. Physician Assistant Healthcare is a broad field with all kinds of opportunities at many different levels. As you move through your career you might find yourself wondering at some point where an advanced degree could take you. Nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) hold an important place in the healthcare system. These advanced roles offer some of the best opportunities available for healthcare professionals looking to expand their scope of practice, enjoy greater autonomy, take on more responsibility, and, of course, earn a better salary. Sponsored School Featured Programs: Nursing@Simmons - Online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)Georgetown University - Online Master of Science degree in Nursing Nursing@USC — Online Master of Science in Nursing Both NPs and PAs hold advanced degrees, and both usually provide direct patient care under the auspices of a physician, and in recent years, professionals in both roles have been gaining a greater level of independence as a growing number of states relax requirements for physician collaboration and oversight. This comes as a direct response to a growing physician shortage at a time when there are more demands being placed on the healthcare system than ever before. There’s no doubt that NPs and PAs are a big part of the solution. Both nurse practitioners and physician assistants routinely serve the primary and preventative care needs of diverse patient populations, and nowhere is this more true than in medically underserved rural and inner-city areas. It would be easy to argue that there are just as many similarities between NPs and PAs as there are differences, but there’s still plenty that sets them apart."

Sections: What to Look for Where to start Young Children Cultural Considerations Seeking a diagnostic evaluation from a medical professional Seeking a free comprehensive special education evaluation for services at school What to look for Among all the dilemmas facing a parent of a child with emotional or behavioral problems, the first question — whether the child’s behavior is sufficiently different to require a comprehensive evaluation by professionals — may be the most troublesome of all. Even when a child exhibits negative behaviors, members of a family may not all agree on whether the behaviors are serious. For instance, children who have frequent temper outbursts or who destroy toys may appear to have a serious problem to some parents, while others see the same behavior as asserting independence or showing leadership skills. Every child faces emotional difficulties from time to time, as do adults. Feelings of sadness, loss, or emotional extremes are part of growing up. Conflicts between parents and children are also inevitable as children struggle from the “terrible twos” through adolescence to develop their own identities. These are normal changes in behavior due to growth and development. Such problems can be more common in times of change for the family, such as the death of a grandparent or family member, a new child, or a move. Generally, these kinds of problems tend to fade on their own or with limited visits to a counselor or other mental health professional as children adjust to the changes in their lives."

"text": "What is Escrow? How Does Escrow Work? What is Escrow? An escrow is a financial arrangement where a third party holds and regulates payment of the funds required for two parties involved in a given transaction. It helps make transactions more secure by keeping the payment in a secure escrow account which is only released when all of the terms of an agreement are met as overseen by the escrow company. Escrows are very useful in the case of a transaction where a large amount money is involved and a certain number of obligations need to be fulfilled before a payment is released like in the case of a website being built where the buyer might want confirmation of the quality of work being done before making a full payment, and the seller doesn’t want to extend a massive amount of work without any assurance that he or she will receive payment. While traditional escrow service is quite difficult and must be obtained through banks and lawyers, Escrow.com provides online escrow services at affordable rates. While the payment is 'In Escrow' the transaction can be safely carried out without risk of losing money or merchandise due to fraud. This eliminates all legal jargon and allows for secure transactions and confident buyers and sellers. How does Escrow Work?"

In the behind-the-scenes operation of the store, a sales associate may perform duties such as unloading trucks and keeping overflow stock organized in the back room or warehouse area. For products that will be featured on the store floor, a sales associate will be involved in tagging merchandise with tags (price tags, size tags, sales stickers, etc.). Prices often change, and sales associates are expected to complete price changes by re-tagging and/or moving merchandise. Once this is done, they will arrange the merchandise on the store floor. This means placing the products in an organized fashion on shelves, racks, counters, and sales displays. Sales Associate Duties - Managing Inventory Aside from merchandise, sales associates are also involved in setting up promotional displays, such as posters, mannequins, window displays, display cases, and general seasonal presentation materials. You know the kind: “On sale!”; “ 50% off!”; “ New arrivals!”"

"text": "How Old to Work at Marshalls? At What Age Does Marshalls Hire? [ joblinks]Usually 16 Years Old Marshalls sets the minimum hiring age for entry-level store jobs at sixteen years old. In some states, workers under the age of eighteen may need to follow limits on the number of hours and days worked in a week. State laws may also dictate a young employee’s ability to work evening shifts. Qualifications for Young Applicants Aside from an age requirement, Marshalls sets few other hiring restrictions for entry-level positions. The retailer regularly hires individuals still attending school, so applicants do not need to possess high school diplomas or GEDs in order to earn employment from the department store chain. However, Marshalls prefers that candidates not in school or on summer break have a diploma or GED. Previous experience in retail may help an applicant’s chances during the screening process, but lack of experience will not prevent a candidate from getting hired. Newly hired employees usually receive job offers over the phone."

In modern British usage it is the same as an investment bank. Merchant banks were the first modern banks and evolved from mediaeval merchants who traded in commodities, particularly cloth merchants. Historically, merchant banks' purpose was to facilitate and/or finance production and trade of commodities, hence the name \"\"merchant\"\". Few banks today restrict their activities to such a narrow scope. In modern usage in the United States, the term additionally has taken on a more narrow meaning, and refers to a financial institution providing capital to companies in the form of share ownership instead of loans.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from SEPA Direct Debit)navigation search A direct debit or direct withdrawal is a financial transaction in which one person withdraws funds from another person's bank account [1]. Formally, the person who directly draws the funds (\"\"the payee\"\") instructs his or her bank to collect (i.e., debit) an amount directly from another's (\"\"the payer's\"\") bank account designated by the payer and pay those funds into a bank account designated by the payee. Before the payer's banker will allow the transaction to take place, the payer must have advised the bank that he or she has authorized the payee to directly draw the funds. It is also called pre-authorized debit (PAD) or pre-authorized payment (PAP). After the authorities are set up, the direct debit transactions are usually processed electronically. Direct debits are typically used for recurring payments, such as credit card and utility bills, where the payment amounts vary from one payment to another. However, when the authorization is in place, the circumstances in which the funds are drawn as well as the dates and amounts are a matter of agreement between the payee and payer, with which the bankers are not concerned. [ 2] In countries where setting up authorization is easy enough, direct debits can also be used for irregular payments, such as for mail order transactions or at a point of sale. The payer can cancel the authorization for a direct debit at any time, and the banker can decline to carry out a debit if the transaction would breach the terms of the bank account out of which payment is to be made, for example if it were to cause the account to overdraw. ( Banking law does not authorize a bank to alter the payment amount. ) A direct debit instruction differs from a direct deposit and standing order instruction, which are initiated by the payer."

"text": "\"Our History First Merchants' History First Merchants Bank was originally known as the Merchants National Bank of Muncie, Indiana and it was organized during the Panic of 1893 by a group of service-minded businessmen who recognized a need in their community and acted to fulfill that need. Spearheaded by Hardin Roads, a former successful wholesale grocer, the enterprising men invested capital of $100,000. This was the only time it was necessary to raise capital through outside sources. First Merchants Bank has survived panics, depressions, and wars to become the leading financial institution in East Central Indiana. There have been four homes for the main office of First Merchants Bank. The original bank was in a room at the northeast corner of Main and Mulberry streets, then known as the Little Block. Proof that the businessmen had been right in recognizing the need for banking services in Muncie was visibly demonstrated in 1904 when space requirements dictated a move to larger quarters across the street, to the northwest corner of the same intersection, in what was known as the Neely Block. Ten years later in 1914, the bank was established in its own \"\"new\"\" building at Jackson and Mulberry streets. This familiar Muncie landmark, with its impressive Corinthian columns, served for 58 years, undergoing two major renovations. The 1914 building fell to the wrecker's ball in August of 1972, as a new modern structure assumed the role of providing financial service to future generations of First Merchants Bank customers."

"text": "How scammers drained $1,700 from my bank account using Starbucks cards Lauren Hockenson Aug 7, 2013 - 1:06 PM CST31 Comments Tweet Share Post I don’t know about you, but I find bank-account hacking the ultimate bogeyman. As a 20-something living in the uber-expensive New York City, the thought of a late-night ATM run for taco-truck money turning into an avenue for crooks to take my hard-earned cash always keeps me on alert. To say I’m diligent about checking my account, especially around paydays, is an understatement. And that vigilance has paid off, because this past weekend hackers walked away with roughly $1,800 from my account — and my bank did nothing to alert me or stop it. That sounds crazy, right? That somehow $1,800 would slip out of my account, under the radar from a financial institution that’s known to ring me when I buy subway passes from station vending machine. But scammers are taking advantage of modern conveniences to rapidly drain and launder money, utilizing some of the places we commonly shop — online and offline. But let’s rewind to Sunday, Aug. 4, when an email from Mint.com entitled “Unusual Spending on Coffee Shops” hit my inbox. Mint, which I use as a budget and spending tracker, normally sends me annoying emails telling me I’m spending too much money on Chipotle. But they typically arrive at the end of the month, when my budget hits its limit — not four days into it."

"text": "\"\"\"Agricultural Problems and Gilded Age Politics\"\"In the years from the end of the Civil War in 1865 and the turn of the century some thirty-five years later, Americans witnessed the death of a rural and agricultural America dominated by farmers and the birth of an urban and industrial America dominated by bankers, industrialists, and city dwellers. This transformation of the United States made the country richer and more powerful than it had ever been before. It was accomplished, however, only with tremendous difficulty, especially for those in the American agricultural community. Farmers, large and small, witnessed numerous problems and dislocations during the era with which they found themselves unable to cope successfully. As the transformation of America took place, distressed farmers became angrier and angrier and would eventually participate in the most influential third political party movement ever. I. Problems of the American Farmer during the Gilded Age OVERPRODUCTIONWithout question the most vexing problem and the one that surpassed all others in both its negative effect and its difficulty to adjust to successfully was the problem of agricultural overproduction. In short, the American farmer produced far too much for his own good. In the years following the Civil War, agricultural production levels skyrocketed. The opening up of the Great Plains to the plow, the use of farm machinery which allowed the individual farmer to grow more, new farming techniques, and the spreading of the railroads (which made areas remote from rivers agriculturally viable by reducing transportation costs) all led to the flooding of the American market with agricultural produce. As more and more crops were dumped onto the American market, it depressed the prices farmers could demand for their produce."

"text": "\"Business & Finance Credit My debit card was declined but i have money in the bank...? I was going to get something to eat and they said my debit card had been declined. Thinking it had been a mistake, I went somewhere else and they said the same thing... So, I checked online and I have plenty of money in my account. What happened? Update: I've had the debit card for about a year, and I've paid my bills, and I haven't spent much this week.4 following Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: This has always been a tricky scenario.. While it is true that banks have a limit, this limit applies to cash which can be drawn out from an ATM and not a purchase.. Trust me when I tell you the banking industry would receive so much flack if they capped a debit card amount every day.. They were the ones who wanted people to get away from writing checks and utilize the cards because the costs were lower for them.. Depending on the merchant company a restaurant uses, the merchant may create a soft authorization for an amount higher than your hard authorization (the true purchase).. This is done because people will commonly include tips or add items to the bill.. In the past, a waiter/waitress would go back open up the ticket and amend it.. This would cause the charge to be forced through (with the bank being required to pay even though funds may not be available).... Two other possibilities for you.. 1 - The merchant company in question who processes the card transactions for the restaurant has a glitch with their system which could be causing the card transaction to reject prematurely.. This happens a lot at certain gas stations... In this case, if you know you have the money, it would be advisable to process as a credit.. When they do this, a different algorithm processes the transaction and 99.99% of the time it is approved.. 2 - Some banks insist on a customer having a set amount of a reserve (or %) in your account, even though it is your money... This is common for some banks because of charge-off problems on accounts in the past.. When this happens, they must adjust policy to protect themselves (FDIC requirement)... Hope that helps..

"text": "docxmerchant banking in india64 Pagesmerchant banking in india Uploaded by Akash Jaiswalconnect to download Get docxmerchant banking in india Download Merchant Banking In India INTRODUCTION The term Merchant Banking has its origin in the trading methods of countries in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century when trade-taking place was financed by bill of exchange drawn by merchanting houses. At that time the merchants were merely financing their own activities. As international trade grew and other lesser- known names wanted to import goods from abroad, the established merchants ‗lent their names‘ to the newcomers by agreeing to accept bills of exchange on their behalf. The acceptance houses would charge a commission for this service and thus there grew up the business of accepting bills of finance trade not merely of themselves, but of others. Acceptance business thus became and to a degree always has been hallmark of true Merchant Banks. The second historical of Merchant Banks was the raising of capital for foreign Government. In many cases, the Merchant Banks have been trading in the countries concerned and gained the confidence of Governments and other authorities in those countries. Thus the second principal ingredient of Merchant Banking became and still is raising of capital through the issue of stocks and bonds. Therefore, Merchant Banks can be accepting houses or issuing houses or both. Merchant Banking started in the beginning of 20th century in UK and USA."

DEC. 7, 1978View page in Times Machine December 7, 1978, Page 1 The New York Times Archives LONDON, Dec. 6 — “Looking back, I think we just didn't realize the size of it or the complexities,” one Of the key bankers said ruefully. “ And interest rates, margins and fees are not the be all and end‐all. There's also market sentiment and the sensibilities of the borrower. ”This year's most controversial international finance deal, orie that — had things gone smoothly — should have raised $1 billion or more, has slipped into history, But the post‐mortems and recriminations are just beginning. Last Thursday, in a sumptuous, sixth‐floor hall at Dresdner Bank's headquarters in Frankfurt, representatives of 36 major banks sat around a circular table and signed a bulky document lending Nigetia $750 million for eight years. This marked the end of a tortuous process, begun in early summer and scarred by tactical errors, charges of misrepresentation, lawsuits, market misjudgments and arm‐twisting at the highest levels of government. The deal illustrates the subtleties of business politics and how big‐time finance so often becomes an exercise in global diplomacy. Most specifically, the ill‐starred financing reflects the clash of cultures when banks from 11 countries, mostly from the industrialized West, and Japan, put their resources at risk in underdeveloped lands."

"text": "\"The Currency Act is the name of several acts of the Parliament of Great Britain that regulated paper money issued by the colonies of British America. The acts sought to protect British merchants and creditors from being paid in depreciated colonial currency. The policy created tension between the colonies and Great Britain, and was cited as a grievance by colonists early in the American Revolution. Act of 1751The first act, the Currency Act of 1751 ( 24 Geo. II c. 53 ), restricted the emission of paper money by the colonies of New England. These colonies had issued paper fiat money known as \"\" bills of credit \"\" to help pay for military expenses during the French and Indian Wars. Because more paper money was issued than what was taxed out of circulation, the currency depreciated in relation to the British pound sterling. The resultantinflation was harmful to merchants in Great Britain, who were forced to accept the depreciated currency from colonists for payment of debts. The act limited the future emission of bills of credit to certain circumstances. It allowed the existing bills to be used as legal tender for public debts (i.e. paying taxes), but disallowed their use for private debts (e.g. for paying merchants). ["

The company began in offices off Cheapside and within a few years moved to larger quarters in Mincing Lane. [ 3] Barings gradually diversified from wool into many other commodities, providing financial services necessary for the rapid growth of international trade, including the lucrative slave trade which enriched the family and the business considerably and allowed for significant expansion of the bank's activities and prestige [1]. In 1774, Barings started business in the U. S. [4] By 1790, Barings had greatly expanded its resources, both through Francis' efforts in London and by association with leading Amsterdam bankers Hope & Co. (Hope) In 1793, the increased business necessitated a move to larger quarters in Devonshire Square. Francis and his family lived upstairs, above the offices.

Combining mathematics, science and technology, engineers produce creative solutions to real world problems. As a result there are many different types of engineering degrees available. In the past, engineering could be divided into four major branches: Mechanical, Chemical, Civil and Electrical, with sub branches of each discipline. Today however, the number of engineering degrees available have increased dramatically. There are now six major branches of engineering: Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Management, and Geotechnical, and literally hundreds of different subcategories of engineering under each branch.

In this way, it is necessary to have a better marketable product so that the incomes can be improved. Then, we have two smelt and cast the gold into bars called bullion or Dore. The name bullion is restricted to the precious metals, refined or unrefined, in bars or ingots that contain small contaminants. For many years, the term bullion made reference to coins and the name base-bullion is for pig-lead or copper bottoms obtained in smelting operations of lead and copper concentrates. The last product is characterized for containing small amounts of gold and silver. The treatment of these products depends on the metallurgical extractive process of lead and copper. Gold Smelting Equipment It has been shown that concentrates obtained by gravity devices and cathodes can be smelted directly most the time. Silver-gold concentrates can be smelted too. Under this consideration, a concentrate must contain at least 20 oz/t of gold."

"text": "Brazing Guide Overview | Procedures | Induction Brazing | Brazing Atmospheres | Suggested Atmospheres | Choosing An Alloy | Alloy Suppliers | Brazing Machines What Is Brazing? Brazing is a method of joining two pieces of metal together with a third, molten filler metal. The joint area is heated above the melting point of the filler metal but below the melting point of the metals being joined; the molten filler metal flows into the gap between the other two metal pieces by capillary action and forms a strong metallurgical bond as it cools. Of all the methods available for metal joining, brazing may be the most versatile. Brazed joints have great tensile strength – they are often stronger than the two metals being bonded together. Brazed joints repel gas and liquid, withstand vibration and shock and are unaffected by normal changes in temperature. Because the metals to be joined are not themselves melted, they are not warped or otherwise distorted and retain their original metallurgical characteristics. Because brazed joints have a very clean, well-finished appearance, it is often the preferred bonding process for manufacturing plumbing fixtures, tools, heavy construction equipment and high-quality consumer products. The process is well-suited for joining dissimilar metals, which gives the assembly designer more material options. Complex assemblies can be manufactured in stages by using filler metals with progressively lower melting points."

"text": "Compound Light Microscope Optics, Magnification and Uses**With Links to Microscope Master Buyer's Guides**A compound light microscope is a microscope with more than one lens and its own light source. In this type of microscope, there are ocular lenses in the binocular eyepieces and objective lenses in a rotating nosepiece closer to the specimen. Although sometimes found as monocular with one ocular lens, the compound binocular microscope is more commonly used today. The first light microscope dates back to 1595, when Zacharias Jansen created a compound microscope that used collapsing tubes and produced magnifications up to 9X. Microscopes have come a long way since then—today's strongest compound microscopes have magnifying powers of 1,000 to 2,000X. Because it contains its own light source in its base, a compound light microscope is also considered a bright field microscope. Bright field microscopy simply means that the specimen is lit from below and viewed from above. With bright field illumination, the sample’s contrast comes from its absorption of the light, as opposed to dark field illumination where the contrast comes from the sample scattering the light. Magnification In order to ascertain the total magnification when viewing an image with a compound light microscope, take the power of the objective lens which is at 4x, 10x or 40x and multiply it by the power of the eyepiece which is typically 10x. Therefore, a 10x eyepiece used with a 40X objective lens, will produce a magnification of 400X. The naked eye can now view the specimen at a magnification 400 times greater and so microscopic details are revealed. More on objective lenses here. Magnification is the ability to view an object as larger."

"text": "Metallurgical Content GRAVIMETRIC METHODSPurely Chemical Sampling Solids Sampling small Parcels Liquids Gases Weighing the Substance In the course of work completed, the problem so far met with has been the determination of the various elements (or compounds) present in a substance. In an ore, for instance, there may be present silica, iron, copper, arsenic, and sulphur, and it is the province of qualitative analysis to determine the presence or absence of these and other elements. It is obvious, however, that there still remains an unknown factor, namely, the quantity of each element present in any given substance. Having found that the ore contains the substances mentioned, the student is now asked how much silica, iron, copper, arsenic, and sulphur by weight are present in one gram or other convenient weight of the ore. It may be said, then, that the province of quantitative analysis lies in the determination of the quantities— either by weight or by volume—of the various elements present in a substance. This substance may be a solid, liquid, or a gas. Such an analysis may be either proximate or ultimate. For example, if one gram of salt be mixed with one gram of iron pyrites and the mixture be analysed, we may: Extract the salt with water and leave the iron pyrites as a residue. By filtering and evaporating the solution to dryness, the salt may be estimated; and by drying and weighing, the iron pyrites may be estimated. The formula of salt is Na Cl, and of iron pyrites Fe S2."

Their work is the link between scientific discoveries and the commercial applications that meet societal and consumer needs. Many engineers develop new products. During the process, they consider several factors. For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers specify the functional requirements precisely; design and test the robot's components; integrate the components to produce the final design; and evaluate the design's overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety. This process applies to the development of many different products, such as chemicals, computers, powerplants, helicopters, and toys. In addition to their involvement in design and development, many engineers work in testing, production, or maintenance. These engineers supervise production in factories, determine the causes of a component’s failure, and test manufactured products to maintain quality. They also estimate the time and cost required to complete projects. Supervisory engineers are responsible for major components or entire projects."

A pyrometer is a type of remote-sensing thermometer used to measure the temperature of a surface. Various forms of pyrometers have historically existed. In the modern usage, it is a device that from a distance determines the temperature of a surface from the spectrum of the thermal radiation it emits, a process known as pyrometry and sometimes radiometry. The word pyrometer comes from the Greek word for fire, \"\"πυρ\"\" ( pyro ), and meter, meaning to measure. The word pyrometer was originally coined to denote a device capable of measuring the temperature of an object by its incandescence, visible light emitted by a body which is at least red-hot. [ 1] Modern pyrometers or infrared thermometers also measure the temperature of cooler objects, down to room temperature, by detecting their infrared radiation flux.

They remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. Advanced Dermatology offers the DERMALINFUSION® which infuses healing, moisturizing, lightening, or anti-aging cosmeceuticals simultaneously to the microdermabrasion. This results in a better result as well as leaving you hydrated, not dry or peeling as with traditional microdermabrasion. A chemical peel is the application of a chemical substance such as glycolic acid (AHA) or salicylic acid (BHA) that gently exfoliates the surface. A series of peel treatments improves the appearance of superficial lines and uneven pigmentation while making your skin look softer, smoother, and more radiant. The treatments also open pores and reduce acne breakouts. How do I know if I need one of these treatments? If you want to economically achieve healthy skin, you may consider microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and facials. These procedures are specifically effective against sunspots, sun damage, enlarged pores, and acne scars, and work well on skin that is dry, aged, or oily."

What Is Microdermabrasion ? Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure that uses a spray of microcrystals to remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and reveal younger, healthier-looking skin. Microdermabrasion also encourages the production of a new underlying layer of skin cells with higher levels of collagen and elastin, which further improves your skin’s appearance. Microdermabrasion is much gentler than dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is a more intensive procedure used to treat deeper facial lines, extreme sun damage, and scars.

In some ways, peels and microderm abrasions are similar, which is why so many people refer to microderm as a microdermabrasion peel. Microdermabrasion is by nature, a mechanical peel. It uses a stream of crystals (or a diamond tip wand) and suction to gently exfoliate the skin, while chemical peels achieve the same effect using milder or stronger acid solutions. But a peel and microderm don't mix and match. Shop for Over the counter Chemical Acid Peels that are safe to use at home (professional strength gel peels). Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peeling Comparison This is important: chemical peeling and micro dermabrasion are both resurfacing procedures that exfoliate the skin. Used together, they can cause serious damage to the skin because of the double peeling effect. While microdermabrasion works well on superficial skin imperfections (some acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores and sun spots), a chemical peel is more effective on serious skin problems like deeper scars and wrinkles.

"text": "\"Surgery Pa-St Scar Revision Surgery Scar revision surgery Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition Scar revision surgery refers to a group of procedures that are done to partially remove scar tissue following surgery or injury, or to make the scar (s) less noticeable. The specific procedure that is performed depends on the type of scar; its cause, location, and size; and the characteristics of the patient's skin. Purpose Scar revision surgery is performed to improve the appearance of the patient's face or other body part, but it is also done to restore or improve functioning when the formation of a scar interferes with the movement of muscles and joints. The shortening or tightening of the skin and underlying muscles that may accompany scar formation is known as contracture. Contractures may interfere with range of motion and other aspects of joint functioning, as well as deform the shape of the hand or other body part. Contractures in the face often affect the muscles that control facial expressions. Scar revision surgery may be considered as either a cosmetic procedure or a reconstructive surgery, depending on whether the patient's concern is primarily related to appearance or whether contractures have also affected functioning. Some insurance companies will cover the cost of scar revision surgery if the scarring resulted from injury. Patients who are considering scar revision surgery should consult their insurance carriers to learn whether their condition may be covered. According to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), the average cost for scar revision surgery on the face is $1,135, compared to $238 for microdermabrasion and $3,260 for laser skin resurfacing ."

Microdermabrasion in Atlanta, Georgia is the most natural way to evenly and safely exfoliate the skin without chemicals to provide a more youthful appearance. It is one of the most requested non-invasive cosmetic procedures, and can be customized to meet your specific skin care needs. Crystals or a diamond encrusted tip are used to massage and exfoliate the skin’s surface to remove superficial hyperpigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, and mild scars while stimulating circulation and collagen production. Microdermabrasion can be used on all skin types, and is a suitable facial treatment for anyone interested in minimizing the appearance of the skin blemishes mentioned above. You may initially feel a very light scratching sensation as the massaging crystals or diamond encrusted tip make contact with the skin, but continued treatment compares to a deep massage. Mild redness may occur for ½ an hour to one day after treatment depending on the aggressiveness of the program.

It’s a chemical face peel that uses glycolic acid to remove the surface layer of the skin. It is derived from sugar cane and breaks down the outer skin layer so it peels off to leave new, fresher skin showing. The whole process will take a few days to a week to complete and may require you staying indoors while your skin is peeling off. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that uses tiny crystal like particles to gently remove the surface layer of the skin.

However, I've saved a ton of money over the past 6 months by doing my own chemical peels at home. At my last professional peel, I made a note of the product being used and did some research when I got home. I was able to buy the exact same one, Dermalure Jessner Solution Acid Peel 14%, from Amazon for less than the cost of a single peel. I also use Dermalure's AHA/BHA Acne Cleanser. ( Apply this before the Jessner.) The peel is self-neutralizing, despite what the Amazon listing says, and couldn't be simpler. Plus, you'll receive the best results by completing a series of peels. Paying someone else to apply the peels can get pretty expensive, pretty fast! That said... I'm not sure I'd recommend this to a chemical peel newbie, as you're already nervous enough the first time without the added worry of doing it yourself, but it's so convenient (and cost-effective!)"

"text": "WHAT IS Medium Grade Chemical Peel? A Medium-depth Chemical Peel, also known as a TCA Peel, involves the application of a chemical exfoliant that causes controlled damage of the epidermis and part or all of the papillary dermis (top layer), which ignites regenerative changes and restores the skin’s tone and texture in just a single setting. The most common combination of agents in a Medium-depth Chemical Peels is trichloroacetic acid (TCA), for which it is named, plus Jessner’s solution (Dr. Max Jessner’s mix of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and rescorcinol), and glycolic acid. Because the strength of a peel determines the level of penetration, the nature of destruction, and the inflammatory response, a Medium-depth Chemical Peel causes moderate destruction and offers intermediate results when compared to a Superficial Peel or Vi Peel. Medium-depth Chemical Peels can be applied to the face, neck, and body and are highly effective in smoothing texture, improving superficial discoloration and mild photo-aging, eliminating fine wrinkles, and enhancing vitality of skin. There is moderate downtime associated with Medium-depth Chemical Peels, and they can be applied up to four times per year. WHO IS Medium Grade Chemical Peel FOR? Medium-depth Chemical Peels are ideal for those who want more dramatic results than a Superficial Peel can offer but wish to avoid the risk and recovery time associated with deeper peels. Unlike deeper-grade peels, Medium-depth Chemical Peels may be performed safely on people with olive and light brown skin; they may also be used on dark brown skin tones, but there is a slight risk of discoloration that should be discussed by your doctor. HOW IS Medium Grade Chemical Peel DONE?"

"text": "Melasma In Depth – Tips For Dealing With Melasmaby Dr. Brandith Irwin, MDShare Melasma is the brown splotchiness on the forehead, cheeks, upper lip, or jaw line that is triggered by hormones and light. Hormones stimulate the growth of cells that make brown pigment (melanocytes). And natural light stimulates the production of even more brown pigment (melanin). Estrogens in oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy can also do this. So you have two problems: too many cells making brown pigment and light constantly stimulating them. The Quick List of What To Do Use the best quality sunscreen every morning – think zinc and SPF 30 or higher;Wear a wide-brim hat;Try bleaching creams from your dermatologist – you’ll need a prescription to get the stronger ones;Get a series of microdermabrasion or light peels, which, if done correctly, can help reduce the discoloration;If you can, change contraception or decrease your estrogen dose;Consider a fractional laser series if your budget permits What Is Melasma? Melasma shows up as brown spots or splotches on the forehead, cheeks, jaw line or upper lip. Melasma is essentially too much dark pigment. That pigment has been triggered by hormones and/or sun. Melasma can appear when a woman’s hormones change, whether through pregnancy, oral contraceptives, or hormone replacement therapy after menopause."

Read on to find out!More About Dermaplaning Dermaplaning treatments, a form of manual exfoliation, are typically performed by a dermatologist or a licensed aesthetician at a professional skin care clinic.

I got the first stretch marks after I gave birth to my first son, but it was only after my second pregnancy that the stretch marks became much worse (and by worse I mean the number increased). I tried different topical treatments, including cocoa butter treatment, but they didn't make much of a difference. Two years ago I decided to try a full body microdermabrasion treatment (I'd already had the facial microderm treatment which worked well). How Does Microdermabrasion Get Rid Of Stretch Marks? Unlike other skin imperfections, stretch marks do not form on the skin's surface (called epidermis), even though that's where you see them. Stretch marks form in the skin layer directly underneath (called dermis). This is an important point to remember because while micro dermabrasion cannot reach that deep into the tissue, it does help. Stretch marks are, in fact, tens of fine silvery, long, fragmented scars that are sunken into the skin. Think of them as microscopic valleys found on your abdomen, thighs, breasts, arms and/or buttocks."

I have had both microderm abrasion and facials in the past but never a microdermabrasion facial. As far as I knew, derm abrasion and facials were two different cosmetic procedures. Before continuing, you might want to read about the top home microdermabrasion kits reviewed and compared by myself and my friends (I really like home microderm systems because they are convenient to use and don't break the bank) or find out more about doctor-performed microdermabrasion. Micro dermabrasion is a mild exfoliation procedure, while a facial is a complex cosmetic treatment that includes soft peeling among other procedures. Unlike facials, which can be performed by trained cosmeticians only, in spas and beauty salons, micro derm abrasion can be done in doctors' offices, spas or even at home. Furthermore, the results of the two procedures are different: micro abrasion fights superficial skin imperfections, like scars, wrinkles, age spots, blemishes, enlarged pores and stretch marks, whereas facials clean, hydrate, and relax the skin. Even if they don't have dramatic results, facials are extremely popular, mostly because they include the latest cosmetic procedures (microdermabrasion, chemical peelings and oxygen masks) at low prices. Facials have yet another advantage: the procedure can be changed to suit specific patient needs. My local beauty salon, for example, offers facials for acne prone, dry, oily, sensitive, and mature skin."

"text": "Dr. Doris Day, MDDermatology This is a treatment in which fine, inert crystals made of aluminum oxide crystals or salt crystals are applied with varying degrees of pressure to your skin to loosen the outer layer of dead cells. The cells are then vacuumed up using a suction device. The strength of the application and suction can be increased or decreased to achieve a more superficial or deeper effect. The result is an immediately smoother looking skin with fewer fine lines and a more even skin tone. The appearance of some types of acne scars will also be minimized. A series of five to seven treatments are required to provide the best results. I recommend one to two treatments per month for a series of four to six treatments followed by maintenance treatments at six to eight week intervals. The treatments can also be done to smooth the lines on the chest, to treat bumps on the arms called keratosis pillars, and to treat acne on the back or the buttocks.

Other names for this include “microderm”, dermabrasion, lunchtime peel, Vacubrasion, crystal-free peel, Parisian Peel, and Diamond Peel. Vacubrasion represents the future of home microdermabrasion and is a new patent pending microdermabrasion device introduce in 2012 to provide very economical, safe, and natural home skin care for every budget. While professional microdermabrasion machines costs upwards of $10,000 to $18,000, and other home microdermabrasion units range from $180-$350, Vacubrasion levels the playing field for everyone with the basic unit costing less than $50 and no monthly consumables. Microdermabrasion and Vacubrasion are fairly simple, easy, painless, non-invasive, skin rejuvenation procedures using a combination of a fine abrasive tip or crystals and vacuum suction applied to the skin. Typically there are no needles or anesthetics required for microdermabrasion. The vacuum pressure and speed are adjusted depending on the sensitivity and tolerance of the skin. Microdermabrasion is often compared to the feeling of a cat licking your face- a rough but gentle texture. Typical microdermabrasion sessions can last anywhere from 5-60 minutes."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Midstream (disambiguation). The oil and gas industry is usually divided into three major components: upstream, midstream and downstream. The midstream sector involves the transportation (by pipeline, rail, barge, oil tanker or truck), storage, and wholesale marketing of crude or refined petroleum products. Pipelines and other transport systems can be used to move crude oil from production sites to refineries and deliver the various refined products to downstream distributors. [ 1] [2] [3] Natural gas pipeline networks aggregate gas from natural gas purification plants and deliver it to downstream customers, such as local utilities. The midstream operations are often taken to include some elements of the upstream and downstream sectors. For example, the midstream sector may include natural gas processing plants that purify the raw natural gas as well as removing and producing elemental sulfur and natural gas liquids (NGL) as finished end-products.

"text": "\"Stock Strategist What Is a Master Limited Partnership? We explore the unique structure and tax implications of investing in MLPs. Print Comment Recommend (-) By Michael Cumming, CFA | 08-09-07 | 06:00 AM | Email Article Since we last wrote a commentary piece on energy master limited partnerships (MLPs), much has changed. Several general partners have gone public, allowing investors to participate in the upside of incentive distribution payments. Tax laws that restricted MLP ownership by mutual funds have been rolled back, increasing the pool of potential MLP investors. In the quest for growth, MLPs have paid ever-higher prices to acquire assets or other companies. But in the biggest change, several exploration and production (E&P) companies have gone public under the MLP umbrella, and many more have announced plans to do so. About the Author Michael Cumming, CFA, is a stock analyst at Morningstar. Contact Author | Meet other investing specialists The biggest reason for a company to organize in the MLP structure is tax avoidance. While shareholders in a corporation face double taxation--paying taxes first at the corporate level, and then at the personal level when those earnings are received as dividends--owners of a partnership are taxed only once, at the individual level."

Our Correspondent SAIDI MKABAKULI adeptly analyses the role of a regulator in natural gas activities that include processing, transportation, storage and distribution of natural gas in Mainland Tanzania. WHEN delivering a keynote address at the Second Oil and Gas Conference 2013, on \"\"Planning for Oil and Gas Industry for Rapid Socio-economic Development\"\" the former Executive Secretary of the President's Office, Planning Commission, who is currently Minister for Finance and Planning, Dr Philip Mpango said regulating of production as well as well as revenue flows from oil and gas is absolutely critical to enable Tanzania to establish or confirm independently the volume of natural gas reserves that the country has. Dr Mpango said the potential size of the natural gas resources in Tanzania and its expected multiple uses require a robust regulatory authority for regulating midstream and downstream natural gas activities that include processing, transportation, storage and distribution of natural gas in Mainland Tanzania. According to the Minister for Finance and Planning, the concept of robust regulatory is crucial for not only regulating infrastructures but also building the country's capacity for prospecting, writing and negotiation of contracts. \"\" This is absolutely critical to enable Tanzania to establish or confirm independently the volume of natural gas reserves that the country has and track and regulate production as well as revenue flows. Such information is needed not only for prudent contractual negotiation with foreign investors to ensure fair deals but also for proper planning of oil and gas extraction,\"\" Dr Mpango recounted. He went on saying that regulatory activity will require building up a pool of experts with specialized technical skills and outstanding knowledge in taxation of petroleum products; writing good contracts /negotiation of production sharing agreements and joint ventures; selecting, appraising and monitoring projects; environmental impact assessment (EIA), as well as pricing of oil and gas (geologists, accountants/auditors, economists, environmental experts etc.). Dr Mpango's remarks were evidently considering the fact that for the past 60 years since 1952, Tanzania has been exploring for oil and gas."

"text": "The Three Oil and Gas Energy Markets: What Is Upstream?28 Jan 2013The oil industry is a massive, multi-faceted environment that spans a number of different processes and occupations. Because it is so complex and encompasses so much, it is divided into three distinct sections based on the steps from drilling to refinement. These three distinct subdivisions of the oil industry are: Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream. In this brief post we will touch on that first category, upstream. We will discuss what upstream is, why it matters, and what kinds of processes are undertaken in this portion of the oil refinement process. As you may have guessed from the categories mentioned above, upstream is the first chronological step in the oil industry. Thus, it is the upstream aspects of the oil process which occur first and must set a strong, early foundation for everything that will follow. Upstream can be broken into many components, but the main ones we’ll touch on are: searching out and selecting potential oil sites, evaluation of these sites, drilling exploratory wells, and operating these wells to extract crude oil. Searching for Potential Oil and Gas Fields The first step in the entire process is to search for suitable locations which might contain oil beneath the Earth’s surface. This is one of the most crucial aspects of the entire process because it provides the crude for the midstream and downstream divisions."

What income would that generate and how much would you need to have an average income? Here's a small portfolio of energy master limited partnerships to illustrate the situation. Robert Zimmerman ( dylan588)Jul 12, 2014 at 2:04PMI hate reading news from the National Institute for Retirement Security; it's really depressing. Each report details how unprepared U. S. citizens are for their retirement. The latest report indicates the average American has $30,345 in a defined retirement account. \"\" Woefully inadequate\"\" doesn't begin to describe the situation. To put all this in perspective, let's examine a theoretical portfolio with retirement income in mind, and see what $30,345 delivers. I cover the energy sector, so we'll use energy-related master limited partnerships, or MLPs, since these provide investors with varying degrees of income and risk.

"text": "\"Listenen español Comadronas Congratulations, You're Pregnant!Let the decision-making begin. Choosing a health care provider to care for you and your baby during your pregnancy is one of the biggest decisions you'll make. In the United States, women's choices once were limited to an obstetrician or a knowledgeable family doctor. But now midwives are another alternative for women with low-risk, uncomplicated pregnancies. Is a midwife a good option for you? The History of Midwives The word \"\"midwife\"\" comes from Old English and means \"\"with woman.\"\" Midwives have helped women deliver babies since the beginning of history. References to midwives are found in ancient Hindu records, in Greek and Roman manuscripts, and even in the Bible. As early as 1560, Parisian midwives had to pass a licensing examination and abide by regulations to practice. Not all midwives had this level of education, however."

History of childbirth How childbirth works Factors that influence birth Preparing for pregnancy and birth Get birth support Classes and birth plans Research Learning how your body works at the end of pregnancy and during childbirth is very helpful as you prepare for birth. When you understand what is happening, you can interpret your body's signals more effectively and participate more fully in your labor and birth. What do things look like inside? Let's review the basic anatomy of your pelvis, uterus, and cervix and the structures surrounding them and your baby. The bones and muscles of the pelvis provide support for the growing uterus and baby, and provide a passage through which your baby emerges during birth. The uterus surrounds the baby, growing as the baby grows. The cervix is actually a part of the uterus, but made up of different tissue."

Make the right choice for you by answering our seven questions. Facebook Pinterest Email Kzenon/shutterstock Eight years ago when I had my first son, I initially met with an OB-GYN recommended to me by a friend. I adored him—as well as his partners: a dynamic team of certified nurse-midwives. After learning that midwives tend to spend a lot of time with patients, have relatively few patients who require Cesarean sections and also encourage medication-free deliveries, I decided to have a midwife from the practice deliver my baby. While OB-GYNs remain the go-to professionals for baby delivery in the United States, midwives are growing in popularity. In 1989, certified nurse-midwives delivered 3.2 percent of all U. S. babies. In 2008, that number had risen to 7.5 percent. Choosing who will deliver your baby is a highly personal decision."

"text": "What do midwives get paid? Hot Topics / Pregnancy / Home / What do midwives get paid? Waikato community midwife Sheryl Wright unpackages some of the myths surrounding midwife pay. Recently I heard something disturbing. In a discussion about birthing a comment was made to me that midwives don’t want women to birth in hospitals or have interventions because this will result in them being paid less. As a midwife I found this quite shocking, not only because it’s completely untrue, but also because of the distressing insinuation that midwives might willingly put the lives of mothers and babies at risk so they could earn more! I wondered how wide-spread this belief was and sure enough when I did a Google search there were many website forum entries on the topic of what midwives get paid. Unfortunately almost all of the responses were inaccurate. There also seemed to be widespread (and erroneous) belief that midwives “get paid heaps”. So here it is – the honest truth."

Brooks MD, MBASource Finding figures regarding the cost of a hospital birth can be tricky, since every pregnant woman faces different circumstances. A young, healthy woman having her first child is likely to have a completely different birth experience compared to an older mother with previous children delivered via c-section who also suffers from high blood pressure or another chronic medical condition. How Much Will My Baby Cost? If you have insurance, the consumer reporting website Cost Helper states that your baby's birth may cost between $500 and $3,000 in addition to out-of-pocket expenses. However, this amount will vary depending upon the level of coverage you have and whether or not there are any complications during the baby's delivery. Read your policy documents carefully and call a company representative to ask questions if you aren't sure what expenses will be covered. Without insurance, Cost Helper reports that a vaginal birth can run between $9,000 and $17,000. A caesarean birth can be between $14,000 and $25,000. Regardless of how you give birth, your baby will incur a separate bill for his care. The expenses for a healthy full term infant typically run between $1,500 and $4,000."

"text": "Early labour - the first stage Labour is divided into 3 stages. The first stage of labour is the slow opening of your cervix (neck of the womb), which happens with regular contractions of your uterus. When your cervix is fully opened (dilated) the delivery (birth) of your baby follows. This is known as the second stage of labour. The third stage of labour is the separation and delivery of the placenta from your uterus. Contents Early labour What to do next The role of your support person How long does labour last? Help with pain during labour The birth Labour at home or in water Further reading Early labour Most of the time you are in early labour you can usually be at home. You can ring the hospital at the beginning of your labour to discuss a plan rather than waiting for contractions to become strong and regular - especially if your labour is happening earlier than expected (premature labour) or you have had an operation on the uterus - such as a previous Caesarean section. Phone the hospital where you are booked in to have the baby and speak to a midwife. The midwife will ask about your pregnancy, your baby’s movements and what is currently happening with your labour."

"text": "Prenatal Care By Robin Elise Weiss, Ph D | Reviewed by a board-certified physician Updated February 05, 2018Print Prenatal care is the time spent with your doctor, midwife, and/or nurse that is focused on assessing and discussing the medical aspects of your pregnancy. Ideally, your prenatal care will start prior to your pregnancy with preconception care, which can help prepare you for what's to come. Starting early also gives you time to find a doctor or midwife that you will feel good about working with for the next several months. While pregnancy is a normal state for the female body, prenatal care is helpful because it is a way to screen for complications and guide you toward your healthiest pregnancy. It is in your prenatal care appointments that you get to ask medical questions about your pregnancy and baby. In addition to working with your doctor or midwife, you may also receive care from a variety of other people during your pregnancy. Article Vaccines in Pregnancy: What You Should Know List What to Expect at Prenatal Care Appointments This can include: Nurses or medical assistants: They may assist your practitioner in gathering vital sign information from you or your baby. They may give injections, take blood pressure readings, cater to other basic needs you may have, and report the findings to your practitioner. Nutritionist/dietician: You may need a specialized diet in pregnancy, either to help you gain weight, maintain weight, or cope with specific disorders related to nutritional requirements, including gestational diabetes. Maternal fetal medicine specialist (MFM): If you have a high-risk condition, you may have an appointment or two with a high-risk practitioner."

"text": "Back From early pregnancy – at around seven weeks - a plug of mucus seals your cervix to help prevent infection – hence the name, mucus plug. However, just before labour starts – or during the early stages –it can come away. It’s nothing to worry about, simply a sign that your cervix is starting to open and labour may follow quickly or within a few days. If you’re a first time mum you may find that your labour may not start for another week or so after you lose the mucus plug, whereas if you’ve had a baby before it may mean that active labour is a few hours away. Not everyone notices losing their mucus plug but if this does happen - it just means that everything’s moving in the right direction. And if it doesn’t, don’t worry it’s one sign that labour is starting but not the only one, as your waters can break or you may just begin to experience lower back pain similar to period pains. Remember that active labour is defined as when you experiencing regular contractions or your waters have broken. Not when you’re losing your mucus plug. Advertisement What does a show look like? The plug may come out as one blob-like lump, or in several pieces - or simply as increased vaginal discharge over a few days."

Others say wind in the trees. It will not have a rapid beating sound. The only thing with a rate of 120+ bpm will be baby. There may be another whooshing sound at right around 110-120, but it won't sound like a heartbeat. Rest assured that if you hear baby's heartbeat, there is a very good chance that everything is ok.

They can start straight away following conception, and some mums-to-be identify them as one of their earliest pregnancy symptoms.

A midwife is a trained professional with special expertise in supporting women to maintain a healthy pregnancy birth, offering expert individualized care, education, counseling and support to a woman and her newborn throughout the childbearing cycle. A midwife works with each woman and her family to identify their unique physical, social and emotional needs. When the care required is outside the midwife's scope of practice or expertise, the woman is referred to other health care providers for additional consultation or care. The Midwives Alliance of North America, the North American Registry of Midwives, the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council and Citizens for Midwifery agreed on a short definition of what \"\"midwifery care\"\" means. However, just because a person is a midwife does not guarantee that they provide this kind of care; consumers looking for a midwife should ask questions to determine if a prospective caregiver will be able to provide the kind of care they seek. Back To Top The Midwives Model of Care The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes. The Midwives Model of Care includes: Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support Minimizing technological interventions Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section. Copyright © 1996-2004, Midwifery Task Force All Rights Reserved Back To Top Midwives in the U. S. There are two main categories of midwives in the U. S., nurse-midwives, who are trained in both nursing and midwifery, and direct entry midwives, who trained as midwives without being nurses first."

"text": "Description FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to flight path information systems, and, more particularly, to flight path information assemblies, methods, and computer program products for displaying flight path deviation information based on navigation system performance. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONIn modern commercial aircraft, if not already available electronically, a flight crew makes flight plan entries and modifications through a Flight Management System—Control Display Unit (FMS-CDU). The FMS-CDU is an electronic module containing a keyboard on its lower face half and an electronic display on its upper face half. By keying entries into the keyboard, the flight crew can build or modify a route into the Flight Management Computer (FMC) by typing in a series of waypoints which are then displayed, in text form, on the upper half of the FMS-CDU display. An additionally provided display is a navigation (map) display. In contrast to the text display of the FMS-CDU, the navigation display graphically depicts the selected waypoints along a desired route. Thus, as the flight crew types entries into the FMS-CDU, these are then displayed graphically on the navigation display. Current FMCs provide for construction of a variety of flight plans, consisting of point-to-point leg segments and procedural maneuvers. In addition, conventional FMCs provide an autopilot mode where the aircraft automatically flies according to a predefined flight plan by providing lateral navigation (LNAV) and vertical navigation (VNAV) guidance so that the route can be flown. Most commercial airliners can be flown on a constant heading with the autopilot engaged."

Interstate highways are divided into three general groups: \"\"mainline\"\" Interstate highways, consisting of one or two-digit designations running either north-south (odd numbers) or east-west (even numbers); \"\"bypass\"\" Interstates that circle around a city or a region, with three-digit designations beginning with an even number; and \"\"spur\"\" Interstates that travel from another interstate into a city or downtown area. The longest Interstate is I-90, traveling from Seattle, WA to Boston, MA over 13 states for a total distance of 3,020.54 miles. On the other end of the spectrum is Interstate 97, the shortest mainline Interstate. I-97 travels from I-695 south of Baltimore, past the east side of the Baltimore-Washington International Airport, to US 50/131 just east of Annapolis, for a total of 17.62 miles. 2.

"text": "\"Things to Consider when Purchasing a Grave Marker or Headstone Do you need to arrange for a memorial grave marker, headstone or monument and are not sure where to start? The information outlined below aims to provide a simple, basic guide to assist you. Cemetery Regulations One of the most important things to consider in purchasing a grave marker is the cemetery regulations. Cemeteries regulate the headstones placed on graves within their grounds. Cemetery Rules and Regulations, as they are known, outline certain requirements such as size, material, and type of headstone. Before you order a headstone for your loved one, you should check the requirements of the cemetery where your loved one will be interred. They can, and are known to, refuse any headstone that does not meet their requirements. Check all their regulations carefully to make sure you know exactly what IS and ISN’T permitted before consulting a headstone supplier. Being that headstones, grave markers and monuments are often installed some time after the funeral and burial, to allow for any ground settlement, this does allow you to ensure you have time to consult with both the cemetery and your grave marker supplier, to have your headstone prepared. Note: Many reputable & established local masonry suppliers will be fully familiar with the requirements at their local cemeteries."

Also to show the total distance from the starting point of the highway.

Perhaps most famous for the fire lookout that is atop the peak and still manned during Summer months, Table Rock has long been a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Table Rock also has over 1000’ of prominence, which is more prominence than most peaks in the Blue Mountains range within Washington. \"\" Table Rock\"\" Is A Good Name... (Photo By Paul Klenke) From some locations near to and lower than Table Rock, the peak appears to have a conical-shaped summit area. In reality, the summit area is fairly large, flat, and rocky, allowing for “Table Rock” to be a fitting name. As the third-tallest peak in Columbia County, and the tallest peak within a ~12-mile radius, Table Rock is an ideal viewpoint from which to see into the Blue Mountains and surrounding areas. The views from the summit are so vast, in fact, that a fire lookout has been established there for many years and is one of the few fire lookouts in Washington still regularly staffed during every Summer. Vertical Upper Northwest Slopes Table Rock Summit Area The Table Rock Lookout was first constructed in 1929, and was a small D-6 cupola cabin that remained at the summit for 30 years. An L-4 cab lookout tower with a 10’ tall concrete base was contructed in 1949. That concrete base still remains today, although the upper lookout cabin underwent modifications in 1989."

"text": "\"The key to challenging a speeding ticket is to know what method the officer used to determine your speed. It may not be obvious to you which method was used. First, remember to politely ask the officer when you are stopped. Second, you'll want to obtain a copy of the officer's notes before your trial (see Chapter 9 on \"\"discovery\"\") to learn what method was used. Here we discuss the five most common methods of speed detection. If you know for certain what method was used to nab you, go directly to that section. Pacing Many speeding tickets result from the police officer following or \"\"pacing\"\" a suspected speeder and using his or her own speedometer to clock the suspect's speed. How Pacing Works With this technique, the officer must main tain a constant distance between the police vehicle and the suspect's car long enough to make a reasonably accurate estimate of its speed. Some states have rules that the officer must verify speed by pacing over a certain distance. ( For example, at least one-eighth or one-fourth of a mile.)"

Updated Jun 16, 2017 · Author has 5.5k answers and 39.6m answer views Originally Answered: Why would the police \"\"Enforce speed by aircraft\"\" in any situation? Speed enforcement using aircraft can actually be very efficient. It's usually done by state police or highway patrols. A fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft flies over a stretch of highway where speeding is common. An observer in the aircraft times the interval it takes cars on the highway to move between two points marked on the pavement. By a simple time-over-distance calculation, the average speed of the vehicle between those markers is determined. If the speed exceeds whatever threshold the enforcement officers have agreed on, the car's location, speed, direction of travel and description are communicated to ground units downrange of the speeder. When the car passes a ground unit (often staged on an on-ramp or out of sight on a side road), the ground unit makes the stop and issues the ticket."

Ober notes that \"\"determining who can use parcels of arable land and for what purpose, has immediate and obvious economic implications.\"\" [ 2]Many borders were drawn along invisible lines of latitude or longitude, which often created a need to mark these borders on the ground, as accurately as possible, using the technology of the day. [ 1] Advances in GPS technology have shown that there are many borders inaccurately marked on the ground. ["

Acolyte comes from a Greek word for follower. Anglican Communion The Anglican Communion is a free association of national churches that are in communion with each other and with the Church of England, and in most cases are outgrowths of the Church of England. All of the bishops of the Anglican Communion meet every ten years at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury; the meeting is called the Lambeth Conference, named after Lambeth Palace. In accordance with Canon 2 of the Second Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople in 381, which is binding on the Anglican Communion, the national churches, as well as their provinces and dioceses have geographical boundaries and therefore do not overlap. The Anglican Communion does not recognize more than one denomination of Anglicans in the same country, and two bishops cannot have overlapping dioceses. There is some confusion about the term “Anglican” in the USA, which is the reason for this entry. The only church body in the United States that is in the Anglican Communion is the Episcopal Church. Some congregations have broken away from the Episcopal Church for various reasons, some because they reject the 1979 revision of the Book of Common Prayer, some because they reject the ordination of women, and others because they reject the inclusion or ordination of gay people. They all put “Anglican” in their name, which correctly indicates their history, heritage, and worship."

The question arises: “How could the Reformed Churches of African origin arrive at a liturgy for marriage services that is Biblical and contextual?” Culture plays an essential role, nevertheless culture has to give shape to the liturgy and liturgy has to be allowed to transform and preach to culture. The two cannot be separated but have to work hand in hand for people to still feel African and at the same time Christian. Key words: Reformed Liturgy, African traditional wedding ceremony, Christian wedding ceremony 1. INTRODUCTION Marriages are said to be from heaven. Nevertheless they are not immune to various forms of earthly attrition that cause one in four of these unions to end in divorce within the short aftermath of three years (see Macleod 1966:78). In the solemnisation of the marriage, there are two impor- tant aspects: instruction in the meaning of Christian mar- riage, and the wedding ceremony as a service of worship before God. A wedding is not simply a perpetuation of cus- toms that are at the heart of the wedding ceremony, but for Christians it is an enactment of faith, a celebration of divine promise in the midst of a covenant community (State 1992:423). This emphasises the fact that the marriage ceremony is a worship ceremony."

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

These have been prepared with the help of authorities on Irish constitutional and European law, and you can take it that the facts they give on the Treaty and its consequences are accurate. Lisbon’s proposal to give the Big States from 50-100% more voting power in making EU laws, while halving Ireland’s voting power to 0.8%, would be economically disastrous for us in face of the economic crisis, as Brussels, Frankfurt and the Big EU States insist on savage cut-backs being imposed on the Irish economy. Summary of 13 things the Lisbon Treaty would do The Lisbon Treaty …1. Would be a power-grab by the Big States for control of the EU by basing EU law-making post-Lisbon primarily on population size. This would double Germany’s voting power in making European laws from its present 8% to 17%, increase Britain’s, France’s and Italy’s from 8% to 12% each, and halve Ireland’s vote to 0.8%. How does having 0.8% of a vote in making EU laws put Ireland “at the heart of Europe” ? Taoiseach Brian Cowen’s “guarantees” do not explain how having half as much influence in the EU as Ireland has today would induce the other Member States to listen to our concerns on unemployment and help to resolve the economic crisis in the interest of Irish companies, workers and farmers.2. Would copperfasten the Laval and related judgements of the EU Court of Justice, which put the competition rules of the EU market above the rights of Trade Unions to enforce pay standards higher than the minimum wage for migrant workers. At the same time Lisbon would give the EU full control of immigration policy (Art.79 TFEU).3."

Typical costs: Expect to pay $50 to $100 for a simple civil ceremony by a justice of the peace, possibly at your local city hall, county courthouse or at a park. An intern minister or retired judge might charge $100 to $200. And an experienced church minister or a professional celebrant might charge $200 to $400 or more.

Related articles: Wedding Chapel or Site, Wedding Ceremony Venue, Marriage License, Wedding DJ, Wedding Music Band, Wedding Planner What should be included: Many officiants include a get-to-know-you meeting with the couple, followed by two or three planning sessions. Most officiants provide several options for ceremony wording and structure, as well as a choice of readings. On the wedding day, the officiant arrives early, has the witnesses sign the marriage license, and performs the ceremony. Afterward, the officiant mails the marriage license to the county so it can be officially recorded, and mails a copy to the couple. Additional costs: Some officiants charge extra for a rehearsal, and some charge a mileage fee of 30 to 50 cents a mile to travel to the wedding location."

Follow 21 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The wedding ring, and in particular the diamond ring, are relatively new concepts in Asian culture. For example, take this quote about the introduction of the engagement ring to Japan in the late 1960s. Not very long ago at all! The ring is not necessary in their culture to have a wedding, it's just an \"\"Americanization.\"\" \"\" Until the mid-1960s, Japanese parents arranged marriages for their children through trusted intermediaries. The ceremony was consummated, according to Shinto law, by the bride and groom drinking rice wine from the same wooden bowl. There was no tradition of romance, courtship, seduction, or prenuptial love in Japan; and none that required the gift of a diamond engagement ring. Even the fact that millions of American soldiers had been assigned to military duty in Japan for a decade had not created any substantial Japanese interest in giving diamonds as a token of love."

"text": "« Tony Scott RIP The renewal of the Church in the UK »The meaning of the wedding ring August 27, 2012 by Fr Stephen Wang I was at a beautiful wedding recently, and I had a small moment of revelation about the meaning of wearing a wedding ring. It’s not an exaggeration to say that my understanding was turned completely upside down. I’ve always thought that wearing a wedding ring was a sign of the commitment you are making to your spouse and to your marriage. Not to pretend that it all depends on you – because it’s about a relationship and a vocation, and about God’s blessing on that relationship. But to see the wearing of the ring as a constant sign of your own re-dedication and re-commitment to this relationship, and to make this continuing acknowledgement of your marital commitment public by wearing a ring. The ring becomes, as it were, a public profession of your marriage and what it continues to mean to you. This is why in those films (cf. Bruce Willis in the first scene of Unbreakable ), when a husband meets a stranger on a train and starts plotting how he might hook up with her, he quietly slips his wedding ring off and puts it in his pocket. But I heard the words of the wedding rite as if for the first time, and this is absolutely not what the wearing of the ring signifies. Here they are: Take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity."

Xavier Bettel, 42, and his partner, Gauthier Destenay, an architect from Belgium, are among the first gay men to wed in the mostly Catholic Grand Duchy since it became the latest EU state to extend full rights to same-sex couples. Their union comes five years after Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, the then prime minister of Iceland, became the first serving leader in the world to marry a same-sex partner. Bettel and Destenay, who have been civil partners since 2010, were expected to say their vows in a quiet civil ceremony with friends and family, away from the glare of publicity. “It won’t be a flashy ceremony but the symbolism’s very strong,” said French broadcaster Stéphane Bern, a friend of Bettel and Destenay. “ Everyone’s warm and positive,” Bern was quoted as saying by the Luxemburger Wort newspaper. Few details have emerged about the wedding, which Bettel had aimed to keep private. Press photographers have been banned. “He does not want to put his private life in the public spotlight and he has turned down requests from the celebrity magazines to cover the event,” a friend told Agence France-Presse earlier this month. Bettel, who is leader of Luxembourg’s centre-right Democratic party, came out publicly as gay in 2008."

"text": "“Do I Need an Annulment?” and other common questions about divorce and remarriage January 2, 2017 by Patrick Madrid Filed under Patrick's Blog21 Comments (Updated) On my radio show , I’m sometimes asked by callers questions pertaining to their marital status. The twin issues of divorce and remarriage are extremely common today, and many people, including many Catholics, find themselves confused and unsure about what God and the Church require from them in this area. This uncertainty has various causes, such as failure to seek answers from the competent authorities in the Church (e.g., canon lawyers) out of a lack of realization that they should do so (i.e., the result of poor catechesis), or because they were given erroneous information by well-meaning but ignorant fellow Catholics, or even because they are simply afraid of discovering what the Church’s answer to their situation might be and prefer instead to live in an “ignorance is bliss” cloud of unknowing. There are other reasons why many divorced Catholics don’t really understand what the Church requires, but the three just mentioned seem to me to be among the more common ones. To help clarify these issues, I asked two canon lawyers, Jacqueline Rapp, JD, JCL, and Pete Vere, JCL, to write an article for Envoy Magazine that would cut through the ambiguity and confusion and answer the more common questions Catholics have about divorce and remarriage. Their article, “Do I Need an Annulment?” appeared several years ago in Envoy’s 6.2 issue, and I post it here as a service to all who may be wondering about that very issue, whether for themselves or for someone they care about. As a Judge and a Defender of the Bond within our respective dioceses’ Catholic marriage Tribunal, we encounter misunderstandings every day about the declaration of nullity (or annulment) process. Often, the people who come into our offices question the need for an annulment before approaching a new marriage."

Male Moko The tattoos on a male face were divided into eight fields, each of them had its own name and contained information about the wearer. The face was divided into equal halves.

' He was absolutely desperate and so were we'Moko - the art of tattoo - has always been part of the Maori world in New Zealand. It is about beauty, and belonging. And it is much more than skin deep. When the first European explorers came into the Pacific, they were stunned by the patterning they saw on the faces and bodies of the island peoples, from Rapanui in the east, to Hawaii in the north, the westward islands of Samoa and Tonga and in the temperate south of Aotearoa - the Maori word for New Zealand. Their languages, myths, values were similar. Tatu, or tatau, was the word used for the adornment of the skin by pricking or cutting and then applying colour. The 18th Century mariners carried the word and the tattoo itself to the northern hemisphere. About the author Dr Ngahuia Te Awekotuku is the author of Mau Moko: The World of Maori Tattoo She is an essayist and commentator on Maori and feminist issues in New Zealand Her chin tattoo commemorates Maori Queen who died in 2006In ancient times, male facial moko was considered a mark of adulthood and achievement, as much as an active and flattering adornment. Usually the faces of men were marked from forehead to throat, creating a mask-like effect which enhanced the bone structure, softened or strengthened the features, and confirmed the virility of the warrior or the wisdom of the shaman/orator."

"text": "The Meaning of Ta Moko - Maori Tattooing Ta Moko was like a history of a person's achievements and represented their status in their tribe. It was like a resumé. It also served as a reminder to people about their responsibility in life. It was a huge honour for people to have Ta Moko. Ta Moko was worn by both men and women. It was applied to the face and buttocks of men, and to the chin, lips and shoulders of women. Depending on their ranking, they may also have Ta Moko on their face. Occasionally women would put small markings over their faces or shoulders as a sign that someone close to them had died. There were no set patterns to the Ta Moko and the meaning of the Ta Moko was dependent on its placement on the face. The left side of the face related to the father's history and the right side to the mother's history."

( CLASH)Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Casbah From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Casbah (French) or as transliterated from Arabic Qasbah (from qasbah, قصبة, 'citadel') is specifically the citadel of Algiers and the traditional quarter clustered round it. More generally, kasbah denotes the walled citadel of many North African cities and towns. The word made its way into English from French in the late 19th century (the Oxford English Dictionary says 1895), hence its conventional English spelling. Etymologically rooted to Khaybar, an ancient city in present-day Saudi Arabia where the local Jewish population was famous for holding out against Mohammed's conversion of the area. Khaybar was famous for its fortress and in ancient Hebrew means \"\"fortress\"\". Khaybar then became the generator for the name Khyber Pass connoting toughness and a fortress-like environment. In Rabat, since 1912 the capital of Morocco, the Casbah of the Oudaya is the military barracks encircled by walls with gates, built in the 16th and 17th centuries on ancient foundations."

Haka are a fierce display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity. Actions include violent foot-stamping, tongue protrusions and rhythmic body slapping to accompany a loud chant. The words of a haka often poetically describe ancestors and events in the tribe's history. Today, haka are still used during Māori ceremonies and celebrations to honour guests and show the importance of the occasion. This includes family events, like birthdays and weddings. Haka are also used to challenge opponents on the sports field. You may have seen a haka performed by New Zealand’s All Blacks before a rugby match?

Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues, called moai, created by the early Rapa Nui people. In 1995, UNESCO named Easter Island a World Heritage Site, with much of the island protected within Rapa Nui National Park. Polynesian people most likely settled on Easter Island sometime between 700 and 1100 AD and created a thriving and industrious culture as evidenced by the island's numerous enormous stone moai and other artifacts. However, human activity, the introduction of the Polynesian rat and overpopulation led to gradual deforestation and extinction of natural resources which severely weakened the Rapa Nui civilization.

"text": "Tribal Tattoos Tribal tattoos have been in vogue for quite a while now (since the early 1990s), and while their popularity is diminishing, they are still going strong. These are the Advantages of getting a tribal tattoo: There's a lot of black ink in tribal tattoos, which has the advantage that it holds up well, black tattoo ink doesn't fade as fast as other colors. Tribal tattoo designs are extremely popular, so as long as you don't want a specific or traditional tribal, you shouldn't have a hard time finding a reputable tattoo artist that can design your custom tattoo. It's easier to design your own tattoo or at least a mockup of your own tribal than it is with other tattoo designs. Tribal tattoos have a bold visual appeal: their thick, black curving lines and interlocking patterns lend themselves well to many of the standard tattoo locations, such as the upper arm (in the form of a tribal armband, for example), the back or the lower back. Disadvantages of tribal tattoos: Tattoo removal is not working very good on those large patches of black ink. Covering them up with another tattoo ain't working either. Finding a tattoo artist or tattoo parlor is not easy when you want a traditional design of a specific tribe. When you're getting a tattoo that is an imitation of a traditional tribal design, keep in mind that you might be insulting the original tribe members. This is especially the case with Ta Moko, which is a form of family and personal identification of the Maori people."

Recent molecular analyses indicate a reduction to two sections, but much further study is required before the above system is abandoned. 1 There are many banana cultivars. Parents of the cultivated types are Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana, two wild species which are usually seedy. M. acuminata evolved primarily in tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia, whereas M. balbisiana originated in monsoon areas in northern Southeast Asia, and southern Asia. Thus, pure M. acuminata cultivars developed first in Southeast Asia and its hybrids with M. balbisiana arose where distributions of the two species overlapped. 1 Because the binomial Latin nomenclature for edible varieties, e.g. Musa cavendishii cultivar (cv.) Williams, proved unsatisfactory, they are referred to as, for example, Musa spp. ( AAA Group, Cavendish Subgroup) cv. Williams."

The art of making tattoos is tattooing. Tattoos fall into three broad categories: purely decorative (with no specific meaning); symbolic (with a specific meaning pertinent to the wearer); pictorial (a depiction of a specific person or item).

The sphecid wasp and larra wasp are parasitoids which lay eggs on mole crickets. The larval wasps eat the crickets, greatly reducing their numbers. The wasps are not aggressive as adults."

Pests found in law ns may not actually harm the turf grass but are a pest to humans or pets. Products labeled for killing molecrickets (a pest of lawns) often are labeled for other pests found in the lawn such as ticks and fleas. Slugs and Snails Slugs prefer moist environments, they feed at night and hide during the day to avoid predators and to protect themselves from the sun. They hide in soil crevices, holes, under leaves, boards and debris. Slugs are usually light gray or black. They feed on leaves, stems, flowers and fruits close to the ground such as strawberries, tomatoes, artichokes. Damage to plants is usually seen as irregular holes with smooth edges or a scar on the leaf surface. Small seedlings in the garden can be especially inviting to these creatures. Chinch Bugs The adult stage of the chinch bug is black with white wings."

A ninth ( Pentacentrinae) is represented in North America by a single species. Key to major groups . A quick way to find pages for cricket subfamilies, genera, and species is to jump to the checklist and look for links. If a genus name lacks a link, the page for that genus is still under construction. Cricket classifications Taxonomists agree that crickets are a monophyletic group, that is, they constitute all the surviving descendents of a single ancestral species. However, taxonomists disagree as to where in the taxonomic hierarchy this group belongs and how it should be subdivided. For example, Vickery and Kevan ( 1985) put crickets in the suborder Gryllodea of the order Grylloptera, whereas we along with many others put them in the superfamily Grylloidea of the suborder Ensifera, order Orthoptera. In our scheme, the initial subdivisions are families, and we recognize only two: Gryllotalpidae, the mole crickets, and Gryllidae, all other crickets. We treat as subfamilies some cricket groups that others treat as families-namely, tree crickets, scaly crickets, ant crickets, and sword-tailed crickets."

Of the seven North American species of moles – insectivores related to bats and shrews – four are found west of the Rockies. Thirty species of shrews – surviving on insects such as butterflies, wasps and crickets -- live throughout the country. The strictist of vegetarians, voles are found in nearly every part of the United States. With sleuthing and some careful observation, you can learn to tell these three apart.1Inspect your yard and garden for signs of infestation from these three creatures. Although you are not likely to see moles, they leave tell-tale volcano-shaped mounds 2 to 24 inches tall at the entrance to their burrows, and tunnel tracks beneath your yard and garden. Shrews typically live in tunnels dug by moles and other mammals – you will need other ways to recognize them. Voles are best identified by the small trails they create leading from one burrow entrance to another.2Familiarize yourself with typical sizes. Moles are the largest of the bunch, averaging 7 inches from tip to the end of a 1-inch hairless tail. Shrews are some of the smallest mammals in the world: mouse-sized and averaging just under 4 inches, excluding a 1-inch tail."

Photograph by Christiaan Kooyman. One of the commonest questions asked about grasshoppers and crickets is how to tell them apart. There are a number of ways to tell if you're looking at a grasshopper or cricket: The main difference between a grasshopper and a cricket is that crickets tend to have long antennae, grasshoppers have short antennae. Crickets stridulate (\"\"sing\"\") by rubbing their wings together, while grasshoppers stridulate by rubbing their long hind legs against their wings. Grasshoppers detect sound by means of little 'ears' at the base of their abdomen; in crickets these are on the front legs. Most crickets are crepuscular (which means they come out at dusk) whereas grasshoppers tend to be out and about during the day. Grasshoppers mostly eat grass, but crickets are partial to animal matter aswell. Grasshoppers have short antennae in comparison to crickets. Crickets, like this bush-cricket, have long antennae."

"text": "Get Rid Of Crickets Mole Cricket Treatments It is easier to kill mole cricket nymphs than mole cricket adults when getting rid of your mole cricket population. Even though the mole cricket nymphs are wingless, they look like adults. The mole cricket nymphs can cause considerable damage to grass and lawns during the summer months when it is warm. Thoroughly treat the targeted area with a granulated systemic insecticide such as Imidacloprid .5 Granules. Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide, reaching into the soil to kill the nymphs that cause the damage. An alternative treatment would be using Bifen XTS as a liquid treatment. The Imidacloprid .5 Granules will last 3-6 months and the Bifen XTS will last 30 days. Mole Cricket Treatment-Timing - Important for Control Mole crickets treatment should be timed to kill immature crickets (nymphs), which do the most damage to turf grasses. In the Southern states, treat with Imidacloprid .5 Granules during the latter end of May or beginning of June. These granules last 3-6 months."

This page will only touch on the diversity, biology, and habitats of New Zealand soil and litter insects. The shape and size of insects is extremely varied, yet all of them possess certain common characters. All insects have the body subdivided into 3 distinct regions - head, abdomen, and thorax, although in many larvae this division is obscured. The head has one pair of antennae, eyes (sometimes absent), and the mouthparts, which are variously modified in different orders. The thorax may have wings, although many adult insects and all juveniles are wingless. The wings are membranous and transparent and used for flight, or hardened and leathery and used for protection."

Mole crickets are cylindrical-bodied insects about 3–5 centimetres (1.2–2.0 in) long as adults, with small eyes and shovel-like forelimbs highly developed for burrowing. They are present in many parts of the world and where they have arrived in new regions, may become agricultural pests. Mole crickets have three life stages, eggs, nymphs, and adults. Most of their life in these stages is spent underground, but adults have wings and disperse in the breeding season. They vary in their diet; some species are vegetarian, mainly feeding on roots, others are omnivores, including worms and grubs in their diet, while a few are largely predatory. Male mole crickets have an exceptionally loud song; they sing from a subsurface burrow that opens out into the air in the shape of an exponential horn. The song is an almost pure tone, modulated into chirps. It is used to attract females, either for mating, or for indicating favourable habitats for them to lay their eggs. In Zambia, mole crickets are thought to bring good fortune, while in Latin America, they are said to predict rain."

Related Topics: Mononucleosis Follow Question Answers From Experts & Organizations (1)Matthew Hoffman, MDInternal Medicine Emory University131 Answers 140,877 Helpful Votes 88 Followers A. Yes, you can, but very few people do. Mononucleosis is usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Symptoms usually include fever, swollen and painful tonsils, and enlarged lymph nodes. Fatigue and low energy can last for weeks or months. More than 90% of us eventually catch EBV, usually during adolescence or early adulthood. In many people, the illness is mild, and may never be diagnosed as mono. Infection by EBV generally results in lifelong immunity—you can only have EBV mono once. There’s also a less common form of mononucleosis, caused by infection by cytomegalovirus (CMV). In one study of people with mono, about one out of seven had mono caused by CMV; the rest had typical EBV mononucleosis."

Symptoms Treatments Mononucleosis, or \"\"mono,\"\" has a wide range of symptoms, which can make it hard to diagnose. You’ll need to see your doctor to find out if you have it. Your doctor will give you a complete physical exam. You may get a throat culture to rule out strep throat, which has symptoms that are similar to mono. Your doctor may also take a sample of blood to check for abnormal white blood cells. You may also get a heterophile antibody test. It checks your blood for special antibodies that your body makes to fight off a viral infection. But it’s not specific to mono. This test isn’t always accurate, especially in younger children, and it takes several days for it to show the presence of the antibodies after a child starts to feel ill."

It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or the cytomegalovirus (CMV). It is typically transmitted through saliva or blood, often through kissing, or or by sharing a drinking glass, an eating utensil or a needle. The virus is also found in the mucus of the infected person, so it is also easily spread through coughing or sneezing. It is estimated that 95% of adults in the world have been infected with the Epstein-Barr virus at some point in their lives. The virus infects B cells (B-lymphocytes), producing a reactive lymphocytosis and the atypical T cells (T-lymphocytes) which give the disease its name.mono symptoms A person can be infected with the virus for weeks or months before any signs, symptoms, of mono begin to appear. Mono symptoms usually begin to appear 4-7 weeks after infection. The first signs of mono can easily be confused with cold and flu symptoms. The typical symptoms and signs of mononucleosis are: Fever - this varies from mild to severe, but is seen in nearly all cases. Enlarged lymph nodes - particularly the posterior cervical lymph nodes, on both sides of the neck."

EBV is a very common virus that many people are exposed to when they’re young. The greatest number of people get mono when they are between 15 and 17 years old.

Infectious mononucleosis, or mono, refers to a group of symptoms usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It typically occurs in teenagers, but you can get it at any age. The virus is spread through saliva, which is why some people call it “the kissing disease. ”Many people develop EBV infections as children after age 1. In very young children, symptoms are usually nonexistent or so mild that they aren’t recognized as mono. Once you have an EBV infection, you aren’t likely to get another one. Any child who gets EBV will probably be immune to mono for the rest of their life. However, plenty of children in the United States and other developed countries don’t get these infections in their early years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mono occurs 25 percent of the time when an adolescent or young adult is infected with EBV."

"text": "When it comes to determining whether or not you have mono, there are a few tests that your doctor can do. The main test for mononucleosis is known as the monospot test but also goes by mononucleosis spot test, mononuclear heterophile test, and the heterophile antibody test. This test looks for the antibodies that are produced by your body when you have mono. Monospot Testing The monospot test is a fairly simple procedure that requires your doctor to take a small sample of your blood. This blood is then placed on a slide and combined with a specific solution. If you have monos, then your blood will start to clump when it is exposed to the solution. This test can effectively identify infectious mononucleosis two to nine weeks after you are infected. Other Tests Along with the monospot test, your doctor may also order a complete blood count test and possibly check your liver enzymes. A complete blood count (CBC) will tell your doctor whether your white blood cell count is up (signifying an infection) and if your reactive lymphocyte levels are normal. This test also involved taking a blood sample, which is then sent to a lab for analysis."

I have kind of an odd worry that was brought on my a class that i am taking at the university of rhode island. The class covered statistics of the hiv virus and so forth, and they seemed really high and very scary. This class had me think that maybe I myself was at risk of having contracted this virus. So now for the past week I have been a nervous wreck and have decided that I must have HIV. Two years ago i had sex with my best friend, i know exactly who he has had sex with in the past which was only one other person than myself. I dont think i ever displayed any symptoms of the virus, the only thing i do remember is losing my voice a couple weeks after, my throat didnt hurt so i attributed it to the extreme stress i was under at the time. But for some reason two years later I am worried about this, so i started to think about things and one thing that i thought about was that i have been diagnoses with mono twice, but never really showed symptoms either time the fist time i got tested because my boyfriend had it so i got tested and had it but really no symptoms, then the second time i got a normal cbc done and my lymphocytes were up so they tested me for mono and it was positive again. So this is what i am basing this on, tell me im being silly. The statistics just seem so high and scary, I dont know what to think."

The CBC is the most common blood test that is ordered by doctors today. It examines the components that make up the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The different types of cells are also counted and monos cells are a type of white blood cell. All of a person’s blood cells are made in the bone marrow. That’s what is in the middle the larger bones of the body and certain diseases, medications, or injuries can affect how many blood cells are being produced. The CBC is ordered as part of a routine screening and may just be used as a measurement of overall health. What Are the Monos? The Monos blood test portion of the CBC is used to measure the monocytes or macrophages that are in the blood. These white blood cells make up to 8% of the total white blood cells that are in the blood at any given time. They have one job to do: to absorb the germs that have invaded the body."

Although several viruses can cause mono, 95% of cases are caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). By middle adulthood, 90% of Americans have antibodies against EBV and thus have been infected at some point. When the primary EBV infection occurs in childhood, often it is without symptoms. However, when teens and young adults get infected, because of their aggressive immune systems, they get the set of symptoms we call \"\"mono. \"\" The EBV virus develops its symptoms slowly. A patient has had the virus for as many as 30-50 days before the first mild symptoms develop: fatigue, mild headaches and loss of appetite are common. While sometimes these are the only symptoms, commonly the patient follows in about a week with fever, sore throat (often severe, with exudates or \"\"white spots\"\" on the tonsils), swollen glands in the neck, increasing fatigue, muscle aches and occasionally a skin rash.

We assume that there is some way to determine the appropriate dose before initiation of treatment; however, usually the only definitive answer is, \"\"Whatever ends up working the best. \"\" The primary issues related to dosing are (1) individual variation and (2) the discrepancy between the best dose for minimizing side effects and the best dose for treatment response.

Individual variation includes not only differences among people in terms of such issues as absorption and metabolism, but also variations among the disorders themselves.

"text": "Cognitive Deficit in Bipolar Disorder Understanding potential changes in cognition associated with bipolar disorder Posted Dec 20, 2014SHARETWEETEMAILMOREOne of the more overlooked aspects of bipolar disorder is the potential for developing a degree of cognitive deficit as part of the illness. This omission reflects the reality that mainstream print media’s portrayal of bipolar disorder mostly focuses upon the cycling of elevated and/or depressed moods which are the hallmark features of the disorder. What we typically read are descriptions of mood elevation that reflect symptoms of high energy, lessened need for sleep, feelings of euphoria, grandiosity, impulsivity, elevated libido, etc. Similarly, on the depressed end of the mood spectrum, we read descriptions of low energy, low self-esteem, feelings of sadness, loss or emptiness, suicidal ideation, pervasive pessimism, low motivation, and all the other experiences we associate with feeling depressed. Mood typically receives the bulk of our attention when it comes to descriptions and discussion of bipolar disorder; however, in my sessions with individuals living with the disorder, it’s common to hear concerns about their lessened cognitive capacities. To be more specific, I’m referring to the experience of decreased cognitive capacity relative to the period of time before any sustained bipolar mood symptoms arrived on the scene. Examples of the kinds of deficits reported are difficulties with linguistic working memory (word retrieval), difficulties with planning, prioritizing and organizing of behavior (executive functioning), problems with retention of what’s been read or listened to, as well as the experience of mildly dulled or slowed thought processes. For some with bipolar disorder, it’s like they’ve experienced a gradual decline of brain power from their previous baseline level of function. Before I scare many readers, the key word in the preceding sentence is “some.” The research literature poses a wide range of figures pertaining to cognitive deficit in bipolar disorder, with studies showing incidence rates between 15% on the low end and 60 % on the high end."

"text": "\"bipolar disorder Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia . Bipolar disorder Definition Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a mood disorder that causes radicalemotional changes and mood swings, from manic, restless highs to depressive, listless lows. Mostbipolar individuals experience alternating episodes of mania and depression. Description Bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating manic episodes in which the individual feelsabnormally euphoric, optimistic, and energetic and depressive periods in which the individual feelssad, hopeless, guilty, and sometimes suicidal. Manic or depressive periods may last for days,weeks, or months and run the spectrum from mild to severe. These episodes may be separated by periods of emotional stability in which the individual functions normally. Bipolar I disorder is characterized by at least one manic episode without a major depressiveepisode. Manic episodes are the \"\"high\"\" of the manic-depressive cycle. A person experiencing a manic episode often has feelings of self-importance, elation, talkativeness, increased sociability,and a desire to embark on goal-oriented activities, coupled with the characteristics of irritability,impatience, impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and a decreased need for sleep. Usually this manic period is followed by a period of severe depression, although a few individuals may not experience a majordepressive episode."

"text": "\"The Child with Unusual Behaviours - Mood Swings Table of Contents Select Content to Display Submit Feedback Mood swings occur most frequently during two stages of your child’s life. The first stage is the time when toddlers test out their boundaries and are beginning to develop a sense of independence. The next time is most likely to be just before puberty when hormonal changes are often associated with mood changes. After the stubbornness of the “terrible twos”, young children are not usually moody or irritable for long periods. If they are, there is often an explanation for their moodiness. For example, being tired, hungry or thirsty can make a child moody. At times your child may experience a sudden change in mood or display an unexpected change in behaviour. In typical children, these changes are mild and not troubling. A child may turn sad because of something he or she has just read or experienced. Or the child may suddenly become happy after thinking about pleasant events such as a family outing or visiting a friend."

"text": "Mood Stabilizing Medication What are mood stabilizers? Mood stabilizers are medicines used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, where a person’s mood changes from a depressed feeling to a high “manic” feeling, or vice versa. These drugs can help reduce mood swings and prevent manic and depressive episodes. Mood stabilizers can take up to several weeks to reach their full effect. Because of this, other psychiatric medications such as antipsychotics are often used in the early stages of treatment. Antipsychotics and antidepressants may also be used in combination with mood stabilizers as longer-term treatments for bipolar disorder. Medication is generally considered to be the cornerstone of treatment for bipolar disorder; however, combining medication with other therapy and support can help you to get and stay well. Forms of talk therapy that have been shown to help with bipolar disorder are interpersonal and social rhythm therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and family-focused education about bipolar disorder. Other aids can include peer support, school and job counselling and housing and employment support. Eating a nutritious diet, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep are also important, as are minimizing your use of alcohol and caffeine, and avoiding street drugs."

[ << Previous Thread | Next Thread >> ]Catherine581 New Member Date Joined Feb 2009 Total Posts : 14Posted 2/10/2009 9:12 PM (GMT -6)Hello, I have had chronic depression and anxiety on and off throughout my life, and usually I used anti depressants (SSRIs) which always helped. Unfortunately recently in the past two years they caused severe manic episodes. ( I have never been diagnosed bipolar until these 2 episodes occurred). Since then I have not been able to use SSRIs to treat my depression. Doctors are also cautious of me using Wellbutrin since I was taking this before I became manic with lexapro. They recently put me on abilify which seemed to help the depression, however the restless leg syndrome has been incredibly disturbing so they are switching me over to lamictal. My concern is that this drug is used for mania but not depression and anxiety. My doctors seem more concerned about the mania than the depression, but the depression is incredibly hard to deal with and I never get manic unless I am taking medication."

"text": "If a parent and a doctor were to dream up a wish list mood stabilizer for a child suffering with bipolar disorder, it would be extremely effective without major side effects, it would work against aggression and rage, it would prevent future episodes of illness, it would require no systematic blood draws, and it would not cause weight gain, liver toxicity or aplastic anemia. An anticonvulsant launched in this country a year ago February (but used in the pediatric epilepsy population since 1990 in Europe), seems to hold a lot of these cards upon early examination, but much is still left to be seen. It is called oxcarbazepine and is marketed in this country by Novartis under the brand name, Trileptal. Actually, Trileptal is an analogue of Tegretol (carbamazepine). An analogue is structurally similar to another compound, but differs slightly in its composition (such as replacing one atom by another atom of a different element). Someone in the Ciba-Geigy labs in Switzerland, played around with the carbamazepine compound and added one oxygen molecule to the top of the middle structure. What a difference an oxygen atom can make: Whereas carbamazepine oxidizes in the body into an active metabolite called 10,11 epoxide, oxcarbazepine rapidly converts in the body to 10-monohydroxide derivative (MHD).chemical structure and metabolism of oxcarbazepine vs. carbamazepine Carbamazepine (Tegretol) is an effective mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder, but it seems that the 10/11 epoxide metabolite is responsible for some of the major problems that can occur with the drug. As we write in The Bipolar Child, “because Tegretol activates certain enzymes in the liver, and this causes the drug itself and many others to be metabolized faster, the serum Tegretol level may drop somewhat after the first month of treatment, requiring increased doses based on blood levels.” Therefore, blood levels are needed more frequently in the beginning of treatment and every three months or so afterward. “ ( Anecdotally, we have heard of many instances when blood levels have dropped–particularly in young children–multiple times with successive increases in dose due to this enzyme induction. )"

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

This exquisite has used flowers, celestial bodies, animals and other objects to create new designs over the period of time. One of the most famous among the animal tattoo designs are the wolf tattoos, which have been used by human beings not only as a form of adornment, but also as a way of expressing their personal belief and attitude. Wolves have been occupying an important place in the history of human race. Basically an animal which prefers to live in a pack, the wolf is a freedom seeker too, who is equally content when it gets to live by itself. The character traits of loyalty and intelligence make the wolf a much appreciated animal and likeable enough to be considered fit for a place in tattoo art. Table of Contents [ show]Symbolic Meanings of Wolf Tattoos Wolves are liked with tribal cultures like those of the Native Indian and Native American clans, where they were used as totem symbols to signify the inner personality of people. The totem symbol was given to only those who were worthy and deserving enough on account of their physical and intellectual strength. The tribe gave the wolf symbol to such young men at the time they made a transition into puberty. Symbolically, the wolf is associated with a number of positive traits such as power, freedom, protection, strength, generosity and intelligence."

The attributes that are associated with the octopus are both diverse and interesting to say the least, making this aquatic creature, similar to the pisces tattoos , a popular choice for those looking to connect certain meanings or a time in their life to their tattoo. The varied qualities of this secretive sea creature is part of the allure and symbolism associated with getting this type tattoo. The Meaning of the Octopus Tattoo The mystery surrounding the octopus makes it a prime candidate for a huge diverse interpretation into each and every design. The octopus is a master of deception, can easily escape attack, and has the ability to destroy predators three times its size. These attributes are qualities many people love to associate to their tattoo, and because the octopus comes in a huge array of sizes, shapes, and colors, the possibilities of creating a unique tattoo are endless. Depending on the individual octopus tattoo, it can symbolize insight, variability, illusion, intelligence, mystery, diversity, complexity, and enhanced vision. These qualities in this beautiful sea creature appeal to a wide audience, and allow the tattoo artist to broaden the scope when it comes to design elements and coloring. Choosing Your Unique Attribute The allure of the octopus tattoo is in that every design has a one-of-a-kind meaning to that person. The same large octopus that is inked on the back with the tentacles wrapping around the shoulders, waist, and arms, could mean mystery for one person and power for another, just like jellyfish tattoos."

For a large population just seeing the sun and the moon is a thrilling sight and having them both together as body art is a pleasure. Sun and moon tattoos as body art are popular today. Just look around you. They are seen in a plethora of styles; ranging from realistic, fantasy, overstated, cartoonish, in action, in a design that resembles Yin Yang and separate from each other yet close together. Sun and moon tattoos are really sweet in cartoon style. The moon can be inked in a half smiling face blowing air and sun smiling away at the warmth he is creating. In a fantasy style, you can pretty much do whatever you want but here is a suggestion."

"text": "Roman Numeral Tattoo Meaning If you’d like a recommendation for a local tattoo artist to do your tattoo, click here Roman numerals were developed in ancient Rome over centuries using the letters of the Latin alphabet, I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. This numerical system was used exclusively in Western Europe until the adaptation and development of the current Hindu-Arabic originated system. So why are Roman numeral tattoos so popular? Well, for a lot of reasons. For one, in most cases they look a lot better than numbers. They also have a bit more of a mysterious look to them than traditional numbers, which can add a bit more meaning to a tattoo. Someone might want to get a Roman numeral tattoo because it’s very personal to them and they don’t want the meaning to be obvious to others. The Roman system relies on the adding of letters, each assigned a value, in order to create larger numerals. In reality, you can use Roman numerals to represent any type of number, such as a date or a time that is important to you. Some people will even use Roman numerals to represent letters and will “spell” out a quote or a person’s name with the symbols. Interestingly, because of the development of Roman numerals out of ancient necessities such as trade and mercantilism, there is no symbol for ‘0’."

I’m not saying this is the wrong way to go about things but bear in mind you’re going to have to wear your tattoo for the rest of your life. They’re permanent. Forever. They’re still going to be there fifty years down the line when you’ve had kids and your kids have had kids and you’re starting to go a bit deaf and wrinkly. How bad would it be for little old you to be sat there looking at your tattoo and wondering ‘why the hell did I do that?’?. It would be awful. You’d be wondering why the young you didn’t have the sense to at least choose something with meaning, something that would always have meaning to you.

They have been universally popular for a long time as they can signify a number of things. Although arrows were originally invented to be used for the purpose of hunting and combative purposes, gradually with time they were used for other reasons as well, such as pointing towards directions. Arrows were even introduced in many forms of pictorial or hieroglyphic languages. Arrows were considered as important symbols in the Native American culture as well. Nowadays they are frequently chosen as popular tattoo symbols. The meaning that is meant to be conveyed by a chosen arrow tattoo mostly depends on its wearer. Arrow tattoos can be worn as a sign of protection and defense. A broken arrow tattoo can symbolize peace. Arrow tattoos can be worn on any part of the body, although most people prefer wearing them at the back or at the upper head areas."

In an un-hunted population such as the Massachusetts moose population the average life span is slightly higher, between 10 and 13 years of age. How big are moose? Moose are the largest members of the deer family and one of the largest land mammals in North America. Adults may stand as tall as 2.3 m high. Males are larger than females and possess elaborate, widened antlers that can measure up to 2 meters in total width, from tip to tip. These are the largest antlers carried by any mammal, worldwide. They are shed and re-grown annually. Males range from 2.5 to 3.2 meters in total length, females from 2.4 to 3.1 meters."

"text": "Moose Power Animal Symbol Of Self Esteem Courage By Ina Woolcott Moose symbolises the expression of joy when something has been accomplishment, not in a ‘show-off look at me I want recognition‘ kind of way, but in a true sense of sharing that springs from knowing how infectious joy is. Moose is also a symbol of being headstrong, longevity, wisdom, confidence, self-esteem, primal feminine energy and steadfastness. The moose is one of the most ancient and unique of power animals, and lends you sacred and unique energy. An adult male can grow up to 7 feet tall and weigh up to 1200lbs. When mating males vociferate loudly and can be heard up to 6 miles and more away. When a female answers their call, they will rush to her and are ready to combat ANYTHING in their paths. Moose’ are fearless and resolute, making their presence known when they decide. However they also have the preternatural ability to camouflage themselves in spite of their hugeness and strength – they are able to move through their territory totally unseen. These traits in the moose teach us the power of presence and invisibility. If moose is your power animal then you will probably be full of contradictions – clumsy yet graceful, huge but with the ability to move swiftly and soundlessly."

"text": "\"Description | Habitat and Habits | Range | Feeding | Breeding | Conservation | Resources Description A bull moose in full spread of antlers is the most imposing beast in North America. It stands taller at the shoulder than the largest saddle horse. Big bulls weigh up to 600 kg in most of Canada; the giant Alaska-Yukon subspecies weighs as much as 800 kg. In fact, the moose is the largest member of the deer family, whose North American members also include elk (wapiti), white-tailed deer, mule deer, and caribou. Moose Alces alces have long, slim legs that end in cloven, or divided, hooves often more than 18 cm long. The body is deep and massively muscled at the shoulders, giving the animal a humped appearance. It is slab-sided and low-rumped, with rather slender hindquarters and a stubby, well-haired tail. The head is heavy and compact, and the nose extends in a long, mournful-looking arch terminating in a long, flexible upper lip. The ears resemble a mule’s but are not quite as long. Most moose have a pendant of fur-covered skin, about 30 cm long, called a bell, hanging from the throat."

They both have some similar features, but the differences are more certain than not. Those main differences are emphasized with a summarizing of their characteristics in this article, and it would be worthwhile to be aware of those facts. Moose Moose was originally described as a single species with two subspecies in early days, but studies state that there are two distinct species; Moose (Alces americanus) and Siberian Elk (Alces alces). They have a natural distribution range in North America, Asia, and Europe. Moose is a tall animal with a height at the shoulder that measures around two metres. The males grow larger weighing from 400 to 700 kilograms, while females weigh between 250 and 350 kilograms. Their antlers are covered with a furry skin or velvet. In addition, the projecting beams of the antlers are blunt and connected with a continuous and flattened board, which is also covered by the velvet. The moose are herbivorous and prefer many types of plant and fruits, taking more than 30 kg of feed a day."

These animals live in the northern United States, Canada and Europe. In North America, they are called moose; in Europe, they are called Eurasian elk. Size Moose are the largest members of the deer family, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. They are also the tallest mammals in North America. Their height, from hoof to shoulder, ranges from 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 to 2 meters). Males are heavier than females; males weigh 794 to 1,323 pounds (360 to 600 kilograms), while females weigh 595 to 882 pounds (270 to 400 kg), according to the National Museum of Natural History.

The biggest members of the deer family, moose have a circumpolar distribution. Some taxonomists recognize two species of moose: Alces americanus of North America and Alces alces of Europe and Asia. There exists a debate, however, over whether the former is actually a subspecies of the latter. A Tale of Three Continents In North America, moose can be found all across the continent's northern tier, including Alaska and large swaths of Canada. Their range extends south into the continental United States, where they inhabit parts of New England in the east; in the west, they can be found as far south as Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The Eurasian moose, also known as the Eurasian elk, has a continuous range that encompasses all of Scandinavia and extends east to Siberia and south to parts of several countries in mainland Europe and Asia, including Poland, Germany, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. A small population of moose once lived in Austria, but it is now believed to be extinct. Winter Wonderlands Moose occur in several biomes, including tundra, taiga and temperate forests. They gravitate toward areas of secondary forest where disturbances -- either human activity or natural processes -- make vegetation copious and accessible for consumption."

Absorption takes calories and persists all night. If, however, you eat a large meal just before going to bed or even a few hours earlier and this meal contains fatty and spicy foods you may be up all night with heartburn and excess energy. “What is REM sleep?”You burn more calories when you are in a deep sleep than when you are just lying reading in bed or tossing and turning. Nighttime calorie burn is dependent on REM or rapid eye movement sleep. When you are in REM sleep, your brain is highly active; sometime more active than when you are awake. Food is fuel and you need fuel for thoughts. Body fuel or glucose is the basic ingredient in most foods and glucose is continually being manufactured during sleeping hours. “While sleeping…”Someone who weighs 150 will scorch 95 calories per hour at least, and if you weigh 115 you will burn 42 calories in that exact hour.

Interesting Moose Facts: Males and females have the same height (around 4-6 feet at shoulders), but different weight. Males are heavier and they can reach 950 pounds, while females weigh up to 750 pounds. Moose are herbivores (plant-eaters) and they like to eat flowering plants, shrubs, leaves and small branches of the trees. During the summer, they eat plants from the river, like pondweed and pond lilies. Due to their large size, they need to eat a lot of food. Their stomachs may hold up to 112 pounds of food at one time."

They are born deaf, blind, and weigh no more than a can of soda pop. At this time, pups can do basically just one thing – suckle their mother’s milk. Within a month, pups can hear and see, weigh ten pounds, and explore and play around the den site. The parents and sometimes one- or two- year old siblings bring food back to the den site. The food is regurgitated for the pups to eat. By about two months of age (late June), pups are fully weaned and eat only meat. By three months of age (late July), pups travel as much as a few miles to rendezvous sites, where pups wait for adults to return from hunts. Pups surviving to six or seven months of age (late September) have adult teeth, are eighty percent their full size, and travel with the pack for many miles as they hunt and patrol their territory."

Part Two addresses the bullet designs of the various major manufacturers. The purpose of these articles is to assist the reader in choosing an appropriate jacketed, expanding bullet for hunting medium and large game animals. For our purposes, \"\"big game\"\" starts at animals weighing perhaps 80 pounds and goes up from there to animals as large as pachyderms. Varmint bullets are frangible and should not be used for hunting big game animals; they are not included in the Hunting Bullet Guide articles. Neither are non-expanding practice, match and military (FMJ) bullets. These are usually illegal for hunting big game, at least in North America and should not be used. They are not designed for proper expansion and cannot be modified to expand reliably. For hunting big game animals, buy bullets specifically intended for the purpose."

It is the manifestation of Angela Orosco’s hate towards her abusive father. Character The Abstract Daddy appears as two figures lying on a bed, covered in a “blanket” of putrid skin, with the two forms apparently having intercourse. The two figures seem to be trapped in a rectangular board, with the “male” or upper figure’s arms and legs dangling out the bottom. It moves on all fours, and the lower portion of the beast has the appearance of a bed with four posts. It is a slow moving opponent, but it can take a fair amount of damage before dying. It attacks simply by rearing up and slamming its huge body against its potential prey, or by hopping on top of James and apparently suffocating him by forcing his head into its “mouth”, which resembles a vaginal opening. If James is being grappled by them, repeatedly tapping the /A button and wiggling the analog stick will get them off faster and lessen his damage. Once the player inflicts enough damage upon the creature, it will fall and deflate, finally dead.

"text": "25-07-2014 / Tattoo Ideas We`ll be honest. Butterfly tattoos have become so shopworn that unless you can find a tattoo artist to create a unique tattoo in his own style, then your butterfly tattoo is not going to impress anybody apart from its noble symbolism. Moth tattoos are an exception and the Tattoobox team are especially fond of them. It is a tattoo that fits both men and women. Why a moth tattoo? Being a symbol of the soul and its transforming course, butterflies captivate us reminding us our need to constantly evolve to something better and more beautiful. Their relatives, the moths add to that symbolism, a veil of dark mystery and seductiveness that resembles our dark subconscious and its struggle during its spiritual journey to the light. Moth finds its way following the moonlight and in its absence, man`s artificial lights. Her persistence to follow the light trusting her instincts and ignoring or defying danger, makes it so spontaneous and determined as vulnerable at the same time. Something that reminds us our need to “listen” our deeper instincts, our intuition, even having our dreams as guides in the dark hours of our lives that nothing is as we saw it bathed in daylight."

Due to the fact that triangles contain three corners and three sides they are often linked to different trinities. The most common being that of the Christian faith, the holy trinity- father, son and Holy Ghost. The triangle can also symbolize the stages of the moon- waxing, waning and full. Other trinities include: mind, body & spirit; mother, father & child; past, present & future; mother, maiden & crone; thought, feeling & emotion and creation, preservation and destruction. Another Christian symbol incorporating triangles of that of the “Eye of Providence” or the all-seeing eye. This is depicted as an eye inside a triangle and is often surrounded by rays of light.

It’s time to eat some fresh tomatoes and then go to bed. But first, I want to tell you a story. As regular readers know, I went to Holland to visit my old and dear friend M., who is fighting a tough, tough battle against cancer, which is in her liver, her brain, and her bones. I visted M. for a couple of days after I arrived, and then headed to the south of the country with her sister, to visit other friends. M. is in very good spirits, but has to take care with her energy. Houseguests can be a drain, so we worked out in advance which days we would see each other. I would double back to Amsterdam towards the end of my trip, stay in an apartment in the city she secured for me, and spend a long morning with her alone. The last stop I made before heading back to Amsterdam was to toddle down to Brussels to visit my Louisiana-born friend K. and her husband. Over dinner at K.’s place, we talked about folk superstitions."

"text": "Dream Symbolism, Insect Totems, Misc. Symbolic Meanings, Personal Observations, Symbolism - All Symbolic Meaning of the Moth April 9, 2008 Avia Venefica 13 Comments Moth Meaning - Moth Symbolism I’ve been asked about the symbolic meaning of the moth. It took me a few days to really jive with this amazing creature, but once allowed access, I was given some incredible insights. These (intense) thoughts can be seen here on my symbolic meaning of moth page. Here are some other observations: Moths are nocturnal, and much of their symbolism deals with: Intuition Psychic perception Heightened awareness Indeed, many people who are spiritual practitioners (particularly of an esoteric ilk) attract the moth as their animal totems. As if being a night-dweller weren’t enough, the moths are babes of the moon . They follow the mother moon as a source of light, and this connects them with some powerful moon associations such as: Knowledge of the Otherworld Second sight Influence Prophesy Clarity However, as I mentioned in my in-depth page on moth symbolism here, those of us who fly high with the moth must be mindful to not be too carried away by her influence. Moon creatures such as moths ask us to have a firm foundation before lunar journeying. The moth expresses some tender vulnerabilities, which I’ve mentioned here. We may take this as a message to be open to our heightened spiritual experiences yet allow for adjustment and protection too."

"text": "\"Introduction: This section of my research is focused on the spiritual and mythological significance of dragonflies and butterflies. I have included short myths and folklore as well as poems and quotes related to the spirituality of dragonflies and butterflies and photos. Mythologies referencing the dragonfly and butterfly, for example from Japanese, Chinese, Native American, Greek, Egyptian and European mythology and folklore as well as in religious beliefs, explore the symbolisms and human to nonhuman relationships within the context of death and spirituality. I chose to research mythology in particular because of the range of topics mythology encompasses. By presenting the human and nonhuman spiritual relationships that existed in stories from around the world, and have remained throughout the changes in discourse, demonstrates that these relationship and connections are important to recognize and revisit. As humans continue to study and learn more about nonhuman animals and the ways in which they are different from humans, I think it is important to share the ways in which we are the same. I hope by presenting the presence of human-nonhuman connection through historical stories, which still is present in modern stories, the animal experience and animal emotion, especially during mourning and grieving, will allow for more connectedness with all animals. In my research, I was intrigued to find the similarities and differences of symbolism and significance of dragonflies and butterflies in different cultures and different times. The similarities and connections of symbolism shows how the dragonfly and butterfly relationship with humans has been an everlasting one, as butterflies and dragonflies are one of the oldest known surviving creatures to exist in our world. “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious."

"text": "Courtesy of NBCAbigail Spencer Talks Timeless Reveals, Jon Hamm's Note About the '60s — Plus, Rectify 's 'Very Emotional' Finish By Matt Webb Mitovich / December 4 2016, 4:50 PM PDT12Since late October, Abigail Spencer has been in that special “zone” actors rarely enter, where they’re starring in two series airing simultaneously. On NBC’s Timeless, she plays Lucy Preston, a history professor enlisted for a series of daring trips through time, while on Sundance’s Rectify, she plays Amantha, a onetime murder suspect’s sister, who’s been on a wild journey of her own. With Timeless about to unspool its final two episodes of the fall (Mondays at 10/9c, before breaking until Jan. 16) and Rectify entering its final two weeks ever, TVLine spoke with Spencer about her very distinct, yet equally ambitious, series. RELATED NBC’s Timeless Casts Harry Houdini With Mr. Robot Actor TVLINE | On Monday nights, you’re time traveling, and on Wednesdays, you’re doing the intense family drama thing. This must be like actor Nirvana. I mean, it’s pretty amazing. Also, I feel that if you were to watch Rectify and watch Timeless you wouldn’t necessarily be like, “Oh, that’s the same actress,” and that’s the goal, to completely inhabit people who are so wildly different, not being limited to certain tones, or types. That’s the dream for me anyway, and that was what drew me to Timeless , that it was so different than Rectify. Also, various time periods are of a great interest to me — I love going back and exploring the past — and from a purely aesthetic point of view I love putting on the clothes and the hair and the makeup, being able to transform… Just now, have people put together all the roles that they’ve seen me play before, and it’s so interesting when I do interviews or go on talk shows, I feel like, “This is your life, Abigail!”TVLINE | Did you have any concerns about Lucy when the Timeless pilot first came to you? So many."

Since it always retains both pedals and a discrete connected drive for rider-powered propulsion, the motorised bicycle is in technical terms a true bicycle, albeit a power-assisted one. However, for purposes of governmental licensing and registration requirements, the type may be legally defined as a motor vehicle, motorbike, moped, or a separate class of hybrid vehicle.

Most motorized bicycles are based or derived from standard general-purpose bicycle frame designs and technologies, although exceptions abound. In addition, modifications to a standard bicycle frame to support motorization may be extensive. The earliest motorized bicycles were ordinary utility bicycles fitted with an add-on motor and transmission to assist normal pedal propulsion, and it is this form that principally distinguishes the motorized bicycle from a moped or motorcycle. In a day when gasoline engine and transmission designs were in their infancy, and power-to-weight ratios were low, a dual-purpose propulsion system seemed particularly advantageous. As time went on, pedal propulsion was increasingly replaced by constant use of a two or four-stroke gasoline engine."

According to respondents, real bikers are inseparable from the motorcycle and a good motorbike is the most important thing for them. Some people had positive opinion about this subculture, so they claimed that many bikers propagate freedom and life on the wheels. Others had negative opinion, for example, one person said: “ In my opinion, bikers don‟t respect women, because women are just a jewel for them.” All respondents indicated that bikers mostly wear leather or black clothes: “They wear expensive, leather jackets, boots and even trousers !.” Furthermore, some people said that bikers always have sunglasses, helmets and kerchiefs: „„Kerchiefs are vivid, colorful and bikers usually tie up it on their heads.” According to respondents, many bikers can have long or short hairs. Some people said that they can‟t imagine a real biker without a beard: “ To my mind, many bikers must have a beard because it makes them extraordinary.” The majority of respondents indicated that bikers age can be from 25 to 35, but some people claimed that sometimes bikers can be elder. One person said : ‟‟ There are not only green youths in bikers subculture, but also educated, well-paid elder people."

"text": "Defects liability period Typically, a defects liability period (DLP) is either 12 or 24 months from the date of practical completion. In some construction contracts, where a particular defect has been rectified within the DLP, a new DLP for that item will start from the time of the repair and continue for the same period as the original DLP. This means that for some items of work the DLP may continue to run until the item exhibits no further post-repair defect, even though the DLP has expired for the remainder of theworks. In some service or supply contracts, the DLP may commence from the date of commissioning of the plant and equipment or may be replaced entirely by a specific warranty (usually a service warranty from the manufacturer). The DLP is a contractual mechanism and does not remove or change the statutory limitation periods for breach of contract unless there is a specific exclusion. Right to common law damages As a defect is a breach of contract it would normally give rise to a common law right to damages. A number of cases have considered whether the presence of a contractual mechanism for dealing with defects (ie a DLP) negates or varies the common law right to damages. CASE STUDYTurner Corporation Ltd (Receiver and Manager appointed) v Austotel Pty Ltd (1994) 13 BCL 378Facts Turner, who was the contractor, sought leave to appeal against an arbitrators' award in favour of Austotel, the principal, for the recovery of the cost of engaging third parties to rectify defects in Turner's work. Austotel engaged the third parties to rectify the defects without having first required the superintendent to provide a notice to Turner under the contract giving Turner the opportunity to rectify defects. The contract did not provide that the superintendent had to advise of defects when they become aware of them, only that the superintendent may notify."

It could be nothing, but probably needs to be investigated further. Possible causes (not a complete list): Normal variant Ascites High diaphragm Left Atrial hypertrophy Left Bundle Branch Block Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW Syndrome) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Hyperkalemia Right ventricular ectopic rhythms Some of these are curable.

Use a Ground Anchor or equivalent!This most important principle for motorcycle security is that it is critical to lock your bike to something solid whenever possible. Simply putting a chain & lock around the bike and not locking the combination to anything else means that the thief can easily lift the bike and chain & lock and steal the whole lot in one go! This happens very frequently! Motorbikes are frequently stolen by e.g. four blokes that simply lift the bike into the back of a van."

Power factor, or ? PF? for short, is the ratio of the real power to the apparent power. Real power is the capacity of the circuit for performing work in a particular time and is measured in Watts. Apparent power is the product of the voltage and current (V x A) of the circuit and is measured in volt-amperage (or ? VA?.) I know that it almost sounds as if Watts and VA are the same thing, and in DC they are (240W DC is equal to 240VA DC, for example) but because energy stored in the load of a device using alternating current (AC) is returned to the source, or due to a non-linear load that distorts the wave shape of the current drawn from the source, the apparent power can actually be greater than the real power. This would give you a power factor of less than 1. Power factor below .70 is generally considered poor power factor."

His conviction has been overturned due to new DNA evidence. Now Daniel is going back to his small Georgia hometown. A town divided between the belief that he is innocent and the belief that he should die for what he has done.

"text": "\"Tips & Support Posted: Dec 13, 2013How do you measure battery voltage? Whenever we field questions from folks about their batteries, one of the first questions we often ask of them is, \"\"What is the voltage of your battery?\"\" This basic information helps give us some idea of what is going on with their battery and in some cases, leads directly to the resolution of any issues they may have. However, the methods people use to measure battery voltage varies significantly and as a result, so do their answers. The most-accurate way to measure battery voltage is not through a dash-mounted gauge, but directly at the battery terminals. We thought it might be useful for some folks who aren't quite sure about batteries and voltage, to explain exactly how someone can measure the voltage of their battery. The yellow-framed device in this picture is called a multimeter but some folks refer to them simply as a voltmeter. It can collect a lot of data, but for the purposes of measuring battery voltage, things are fairly straightforward. Dials on multimeters can have a lot of confusing numbers and symbols, but when measuring voltage, start with looking for a \"\"V\"\" setting, as shown on this red-colored unit from MAC Tools . Other meters may have more complicated-looking dials with even more options and confusing numbers."

"text": "\"Home »Electronics How to Read an Analog Multimeter By Isaiah David; Updated April 12, 2017Analog multimeters are simple and inexpensive, and they are accurate enough for most purposes. Although the best digital multimeters offer greater accuracy and other features that analog meters lack, such as overload protection, for most applications an analog meter will get the job done at a reasonable price. The biggest drawback to analog multimeters is that they can be difficult for beginners to read. There are several different scales printed on the same surface, and deciding which one to look at can be confusing at first. Decide on the unit that you want to test. Analog multimeters usually measure voltage, amperage and resistance. Resistance is a measure of how much a wire or electronic component resists the flow of electricity; voltage is a measure of circuit \"\"pressure\"\"; and amperage is a measure of the amount of electricity flowing to the circuit. Many multimeters measure both AC and DC electricity, although some measure just DC. Set the multimeter to the correct setting for what you want to measure. Your multimeter should be set to a higher value than you are going to measure."

A meter is any device built to accurately detect and display an electrical quantity in a form readable by a human being. Usually this \"\"readable form\"\" is visual: motion of a pointer on a scale, a series of lights arranged to form a \"\"bargraph,\"\" or some sort of display composed of numerical figures. In the analysis and testing of circuits, there are meters designed to accurately measure the basic quantities of voltage, current, and resistance. There are many other types of meters as well, but this chapter primarily covers the design and operation of the basic three. Most modern meters are \"\"digital\"\" in design, meaning that their readable display is in the form of numerical digits. Older designs of meters are mechanical in nature, using some kind of pointer device to show quantity of measurement. In either case, the principles applied in adapting a display unit to the measurement of (relatively) large quantities of voltage, current, or resistance are the same. The display mechanism of a meter is often referred to as a movement, borrowing from its mechanical nature to move a pointer along a scale so that a measured value may be read."

"text": "Home > Electronic Tutorials > How to use a Multimeter / Using Multimeters > What do multimeters measures? Tutorial How to use a Multimeter / Using Multimeters What do multimeters measures? A meter is a measuring instrument. An ammeter measures current, a voltmeter measures the potential difference (voltage) between two points, and an ohmmeter measures resistance. A multimeter combines these functions, and possibly some additional ones as well, into a single instrument. Before going in to detail about multimeters, it is important for you to have a clear idea of how meters are connected into circuits. Diagrams A and B below show a circuit before and after connecting an ammeter: A Bto measure current, the circuit must be broken to allow the ammeter to be connected in seriesammeters must have a LOW resistance Think about the changes you would have to make to a practical circuit in order to include the ammeter. To start with, you need to break the circuit so that the ammeter can be connected in series. All the current flowing in the circuit must pass through the ammeter. Meters are not supposed to alter the behaviour of the circuit, or at least not significantly, and it follows that an ammeter must have a very LOW resistance."

"text": "\"Edit Article How to Measure Capacitance Capacitance is the measure of how much electrical energy is stored in an object, such as a capacitor used in an electronic circuit. The unit for measuring capacitance is the farad (F), defined as 1 coulomb (C) of electric charge per volt (V) of potential difference. In practice, the farad is such a large unit that capacitance is usually measured in smaller units such as the microfarad, 1 millionth of a farad; or the nanofarad, 1 billionth of a farad. While accurate measurement requires expensive tools, you can get a rough idea from a digital multimeter. Steps1 Choose your tool. Even cheap digital multimeters often have a capacitance setting \"\"–| (–.\"\" These are good enough for basic troubleshooting, but are not typically accurate enough to rely on precise measurements. They do give accurate results for most film capacitors, since these behave more like the ideal capacitors your multimeter's calculations assume. [ 1] If accuracy and precision are important, consider an LCR meter. These tools can cost several thousand US dollars, but have several reliable ways to test capacitance."

I assume that whoever reads this book has at least a passing interest in actually working with electricity, and as such the topic of safety is of paramount importance. Those authors, editors, and publishers who fail to incorporate this subject into their introductory texts are depriving the reader of life-saving information. As an instructor of industrial electronics, I spend a full week with my students reviewing the theoretical and practical aspects of electrical safety. 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. The more relevant a technical topic can be made, the more likely a student will be to pay attention and comprehend. And what could be more relevant than application to your own personal safety?"

If you arrived here looking to buy a solar panel regulator, then you'll want to visit our solar charge controller/regulator section You can download and print the pdf version of How to Test Your Solar Panel and Regulator. Before you start: Find the voltage (V) and current (A) ratings of your panel (you can usually find these written on the back of the panel). Check that sunlight conditions are suitable for producing readings on your system. To obtain the rated output of your panel you will need full, bright sunlight falling directly onto the panel. Remember, no sun no power. Make sure you understand how to use the multimeter, and that you are using appropriate settings for the power you expect to measure. If you are testing a charge controller you will need to make sure that the battery is NOT fully charged otherwise it will not be able to accept current.

"text": "\"Using Precision Digital Multimeters for Quick Checks on Temperature Transducersby David Pereles | Nov 1, 2003 1:00am If your processes use temperature transducers, then the ability to quickly see if they're good or bad is important. This article describes how to use a digital multimeter (DMM) to perform some quick and simple tests for the most common ones—thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and thermistors. Calibration and troubleshooting are two very different requirements. Calibration maintains product quality; troubleshooting affects product quantity. Calibration happens on a schedule; troubleshooting happens in emergencies. Calibration must be precise; troubleshooting must be fast. When a production line is down, speed is of the essence. The failed component must be isolated and replaced ASAP. With a precision multimeter, you can perform quick, go/no-go checks on most temperature transducers, and while these tests tell nothing about transducer accuracy, they will tell you if a transducer has failed. And sometimes that's exactly what you need."

Overview The NI 4070 Digital Multimeter makes resistance (ohms) measurements using a constant-current technique. A current (amps) is supplied to the resistance (ohms) under test, and the digital multimeter measures the resulting voltage as represented in the figure below: With a known current (amps) and voltage, the digital multimeter can determine resistance using Ohm's Law, as follows: V M = I s R T where R T is the sum of all resistances, R T = R x + R LEAD + R LEADTherefore, the value of R x = V M /I s if R LEAD is small or negligible compared to R x The NI 4070 Digital Multimeter generates a highly-stable current (amps) source, I s. The table below lists the value of this current (amps) by range: Range Current Source Value (nominal) ±5% I s Maximum Test Voltage (Vt) Offset Compensated Ohms Available?100 Ω 950 µA 105 m V Yes1 kΩ 950 µA 1.05 V Yes10 kΩ 95 µA 1.05 V Yes100 kΩ 9.5 µA 1.05 V No1 MΩ 9.5 µA 10.5 V No10 MΩ 0.95 µA 10.5 V No100 MΩ 0.95 µA *Refer to \"\"Measuring on the 100MOhm Range\"\" section 10.5 V No Every time you run self-calibration, the current (amps) source recalibrates to an ultra-high stability 10 kΩ reference resistor. While the absolute tolerance of the current (amps) is ±5%, the recalibration process identifies the value to a sub-ppm precision level. The calculated value of resistance (ohms) is corrected to the precision of the ultra-stable reference resistor, assuring accurate measurements. The NI 4070 Digital Multimeter has two modes of resistance (ohms) measurement: 2-wire and 4-wire. 2-wire and 4-wire apply the same precision current (amps) to the circuit, but the difference between 2-wire and 4-wire resistance (ohms) measurements is how the voltage measurement is made.

"text": "A true root mean square (RMS) multimeter is a measurement device that measures the effective level of alternating current ( AC) or voltage. Root mean square is a mathematical term that suggests effective level. Other multimeters may be designed to measure just the average level. For power computations, the true RMS multimeter provides the correct voltage or current level. Several units can be used when measuring voltage. Direct current (DC) is simple because there the only unit is the volts direct current (VDC). A 12 VDC power supply will provide 12 VDC. AC refers to voltage levels of sinusoidal waveforms commonly referred to as sine waves. A 60 cycle per second (cps) or hertz (Hz) sine wave takes a 0.0167 second to make one cycle, which means the polarity peaks at opposite every 0.0083 second. The true RMS voltage of electrical utility gives about 110 volts alternating current (VAC)."

Multimeters come in two types: digital and analog. Most electricians today use digital multimeters. DMMs feature a digital or liquid crystal display (LCD), where measurement readings in exact numerical values appear. The display also alerts you to any pertinent symbols and warnings. The dial of the DMM allows you to select the function you want to measure. Whether you intend to measure one of the three elements of Ohm's Law or a more advanced function like frequency or capacitance, you must first set the dial to the appropriate function. The dial also plays another essential role in measuring electricity: determining the range of measurement. The range you select on the dial determines the placement of the decimal point as it appears on the LCD."

"text": "\"Information about Trigger Points and their Treatment Compiled by Dr Diana Cross What are trigger points [TPs]? A trigger point is simply a small contraction knot in muscle. This knot feels like a pea buried deep in the muscle, and can feel as big as a thumb. It maintains a hard contraction on the muscle fibres connected to it, thus causing a tight band that can also be felt in the muscle. These trigger points in muscles and in the thin wrapping around each muscle [called fascia] are called myofascial trigger points, to distinguish them from trigger points which can occur in other soft tissues such as skin, ligaments and tendons, and also in scar tissue. Are TPs the same as a muscle spasm or strain or tear? No, a TP is not the same thing as a muscle spasm. A spasm involves a violent contraction of the whole muscle, whereas a TP is contraction in only a small part of a muscle. A strain or tear involves physical damage to the muscle or tendon fibres, Such damage has not been demonstrated in studies of TPs. [ However, such injuries may predispose one to developing TPs there later on. ]"

Trigger points may also manifest as tension headache, tinnitus, temporomandibular joint pain, decreased range of motion in the legs, and back pain. These symptoms are very similar to Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms, where Fibromyalgia can be diagnosed by 18 specified painful Tender Points around the neck, shoulder, chest, hip, knee, and elbow regions. Finger pressure to these areas for patients with Fibromyalgia can be very painful. This happens because 90 percent of the 18 predetermined Tender Points are actually Myofascial Trigger Points. Trigger Points are firm nodules that you can often feel in your tight, rope-like muscles. Pressing on a Trigger Point hurts in the area and also shoots pain to other regions, while pressing on just a Tender Point is believed to only cause discomfort to the local area. These 18 specific Tender Points are located at nine bilateral locations and occur on both the right and left sides of the body symmetrically: Occiput: bilateral, at the suboccipital muscle insertions.

"text": "Part 1 Working Out Knots at Home1 Do some light stretching. Muscle knots are basically chronic muscle strains caused by repetitive movements or postures that contract muscle fibers for long periods of time. Muscles are meant to contract for short durations, then completely relax. However, performing similar movements over and over (due to athletics, weightlifting, cleaning the house, etc.) or sustaining certain postures while at work strains muscles fibers and causes them to remain contracted. As such, chronic muscle strains and knots respond well to light stretching because it relieves the tension, promotes blood flow and improves flexibility. [ 1] As a general rule, hold the stretches (without bouncing) for about 30 seconds and do them at least three times daily until the achiness from the knot fades away. While standing or sitting up straight, reach around the front of your body and grab the opposite elbow with your hand. Gently pull on the back of the elbow across your chest until you feel a stretch in the corresponding shoulder. Be sure to drop your shoulder away from your ear (don't hike it up)."

My question is, is there a muscle relaxer out there that might have the chance of not just masking the symptoms but actually releasing these tense muscles and letting the knots be massaged out? Thanks!"

It is an antidepresent but doctors tend to use it more now for muscle and nerve pain.kezz_wales · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Would you rather fix the problem rather than mask it? Chiropractor to make sure mis-alignment is not contributing to the problem - Massage therapist to get rid of the knots - use the principles in the book at the bottom Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches). Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas (natural muscle relaxers) daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles). Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago. Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain. The cure - start with a professional massage, (if this does not do it you probably need a chiropractor as well) you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away."

"text": "You are here: Home / Wellness /2.8KShare Pin Email How to Treat Muscle Knots in Your Back, Neck, & Shouldersby Built Lean January 13, 2014By Peter Zhou, Originally Published on Built Lean.com Know that sharp ache you get after an intense workout that is usually in your neck, shoulders, or upper back? It can be difficult just to move your shoulders without feeling pain, let alone continue with your workout. Even worse, this pain can linger on for weeks, or even months. If you are active, or lift weights consistently and feel a constant stinging pain in your muscle, the culprit may be muscle knots. What are Muscle Knots? Muscle knots are points within a muscle where contracted fibers are unable to release [1], or, as the dictionary puts it: “highly irritable localized spots of exquisite tenderness in a nodule in palpable taunt bands of muscle tissue. ”A common problem for active people, muscle knots—technically called Myofascial Trigger Points, or MTPS—feel like a small knot to your fingertips. These knots can range from the size of a pinhead in smaller muscles to the size of your thumb in larger muscles. [ 2]Muscle knots can cause pain in two ways: (1) latent trigger points, which are knots that only hurt when you put pressure on them, and (2) active trigger points, which are knots that actively refer pain along your neural pathways, causing it in non-localized areas. Trigger points in a constant state of contraction have excess metabolic waste and oxygen use because blood flow to this area stops—this sends pain signals to the brain."

"text": "Knots & Pain in Lower Legby LAUREN SAGLIMBENE Aug. 14, 2017Knots and pain in the lower leg may occur for a variety of reasons. Some are less severe, such as muscle soreness, while others may require more extensive treatment. Athletes such as runners commonly develop knots and pain in the lower leg, as do sedentary people who are exercising for the first time. Consult your doctor if you experience pain, especially if it does not get better with rest. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Muscle Soreness Muscle soreness can leave your lower leg feeling tight and painful. Soreness can either be immediate or soreness that you feel shortly after exercise or delayed onset muscle soreness that you feel 24 to 48 hours after activity, according to the American Council on Exercise. You are especially likely to experience delayed onset muscle soreness after increasing your exercise intensity and participating in activities that require shock absorption. Dr. Cedric X. Bryant advises that researchers have not found a specific remedy that consistently alleviates soreness, but massage, stretching and ice are among possible treatments. Trigger Points Trigger points are bands of muscle that are behaving differently from the rest of your muscle, forming into tight areas. Trigger points are similar to knots, but are painful to the touch."

How Does It Occur And What Are Its Common Causes? Diagnosis Rhomboid Strain Symptoms Treatment Home Treatment Stretches and Exercises Upper Back Stretch: Neck Side Stretches: Side Arm Stretch: Kneeling back Stretch Range of Motion Exercises Door Frame Stretching A rhomboid strain may not seem like a big problem at first, but it can quickly become a long-term, a chronic condition that can affect your lifestyle – the way you sit, stand, lift weights, or just cause that annoying pain that just won’t go away. The goal of today’s article is to help you learn more about the anatomy of the rhomboids, the origin and the cause of the pain, how to accurately diagnose it, and offer some practical exercises you can follow to help yourself. The rhomboid muscles are a deep set of muscles of the upper back. They connect the medial edge of the shoulder blade to the spine. Rhomboid strain is a term used loosely to describe a stretch or a tear in the muscles. Another common condition involving these muscles is known as rhomboid spasm – this is a sudden, involuntary tightening of the muscle which may result in muscle knots. Rhomboid Muscles – Location, Attachments and Function Image 1: Rhomboid Muscles First of all, notice we said “muscles” instead of “muscle”; many people make the same mistake not knowing that there are two rhomboid muscles in our back: Rhomboid major (large) and Rhomboid minor (small)Rhomboid Major Rhomboid major arises from the spinous processes of the second, third, fourth and fifth thoracic vertebrae (Spinous process is a bony projection off the back of the vertebra, it can be felt under the skin 1) and attaches to the triangular surface at the root of the spine of the scapula (scapular spine is a bony prominence which divides the back surface of the shoulder blade into two portions). Rhomboid Minor Rhomboid minor arises from the spinous processes of the seventh cervical, first thoracic vertebra and lower part of the nuchal ligament (ligament located at the back of the neck formed of supraspinosus ligaments) and attaches to the triangular surface of the scapular spine."

"text": "\"What is a Knot and Why Do I Have Them? By thegiftbuster.com February 27, 2012A knot is scientifically known as a myofascial trigger point. What does that mean to you who only want to understand what those pesky knots are and why they cause pain and discomfort, limit range of motion, and aggravate the soul causing even more stress? I get asked all the time as I work on a knot, “What is that?” What causes that?” A simple explanation is that a knot is a tight ball of muscle from an overworked muscle. I have been asked if a knot is when two or more muscles become intertwined. A good question because actually fibers within the same muscle can become intertwined as can fibers from separate muscles that share an attachment of the same bone. Try not to think of a knot as a “knot” in the traditional sense though. There is no wrapping into a bow or sailor’s knot of our muscles as the term can easily be misconstrued."

We first came across the rapper with his \"\"Bitter Raps\"\" record, which got us acquainted with his laid-back style and his nasally voice with a Chance The Rapper -like quality. The comparisons to Chance are inevitable, something which we touched on in our interview below. While it was \"\"Bitter Raps\"\" that got us initially intrigued, follow-up joints such as \"\"Do It Like We\"\" kept us interested. All these records will culminate in Boogie's proper debut, Thirst 48, due out on June 24th. Before that happens, we hopped on the phone with Boogie to get the low-down on who exactly he is.

Feel free to book a session to consult with me to find out what key the song should be in for you before you buy as most of these sites only permit you to download / print the music once, in a particular key.

"text": "Flute Vibrato Vibrato is that shimmery variation in pitch that warms up the tone of the flute. It is similar to the effect produced by a violinist's hand as it moves back and forth. As Sir James Galway wrote in his book Flute,Vibrato is another subject on which experts violently disagree, and all of them are right. If one thing rather than another expresses the individual, it is vibrato. [...] There is no last word on what vibrato should be used, or how it should be varied to suit the musicality and individuality. Why Vibrato? Vibrato gives life to the sound, allows for intensity, and helps a player to focus. Occasionally the music calls for stillness, and then a note or two or a phrase can be played without vibrato to advantage. But as a rule music without vibrato is a pretty lifeless thing. On the other hand, if the vibrato never varies, neither does the life of the music, and the result is rather tiresome and tedious."

"text": "What is Trap? Then and Now – From Southern Rap to EDM (Flosstradamus, Baauer, Gucci Mane)by Computo on Nov 9, 2012Share Like Share on Google+ Tweet Comments The growing popularity of trap music in North America has been one of the biggest stories in electronic dance music in 2012. Dubspot writer Computo explores trap’s DNA…UNDERGR☢UND ANTHEM by Flosstradamus The summer of 2012 saw the rise of trap music in North America. With DJs and producers like Flosstradamus, Diplo, The Gaslamp Killer and TNGHT (Hudson Mohawke and Lunice) spreading the sound, and major hip hop artists like Kanye West, 2 Chainz, and Gucci Mane releasing trap-influenced hits like “Mercy” and “Birthday Song,” the the stripped-back 808-dominant style has an undeniable surge in popularity. With its short detuned hip hop vocal loops, the classic 808 sub kick creating low-end pressure and short squeals of pitch-shifting synths supplying the melodies, trap has been one of the most-hyped sounds of 2012, but where does it come from? Origins of Trap The current trap music revival draws on several different sources of musical inspiration. Part of the DNA of trap music goes all the way back to the early hip hop, electro and Miami bass of the late 80s and early 90s, relying heavily on the classic sounds of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. Electro tracks like “Planet Rock” by Afrika Bambaataa introduced the 808 sound to dancefloors, and Miami bass tracks like “My Boo” by the Ghost Town DJs were anchored by some of the same 808-heavy beats and crushed-fill drum patterns that would later get slowed down and become associated with trap.ghost town dj's - my boo (Video Quality A++)Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

"text": "How much does it REALLY cost to make a record? By Guest Blogger March 4, 201563 27537 30Do these guys look hard at work recording an album? [ This article was written by Michael Corcoran. It originally appeared on the Music SUBMIT Blog. ] In 1972, the Rolling Stones released the album Exile on Main Street. The band began by recording songs in a studio in London, moved to the South of France to continue jamming and recording in a rented chalet, and finally completed the album in a studio in Los Angeles. The entire process, from conception to recording to mixing to release, consumed 3 years’ time and cost north $2M. Most critics consider Exile the Stones’ best record and one of the greatest rock records of all time. The fact that it cost as much as it did, and took 3 years to record it, was at the time completely written away and justified as “Hey, that’s rock-n-roll for ya. ”How times have changed. Fast forward 40-ish years."

Flag How do speakers use magnets to produce sound? Edit Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The magnets in speakers work to absorb the sounds running through the coils. Think of it as a big dust collector and the \"\"dust\"\" in the sound coming through. It amplifies the frequency at which the music is coming out and it captures and pushes it out at an audible volume of sound instead of a frequency of radio waves. That way it turns it into something you can hear from virtually gargled \"\"white noise.\"\" The process is similar to how guitar pickups work, absorbing the vibrating sound waves from the strings and picking them up as an electro-magnetic signal, it then passes it through the guitar cable and into the amplifier (which has a speaker with a magnet in it just like the one in a stereo). The process of the speaker is just the opposite of the guitar pickups; one absorbs and changes the sound, then sends it to the other, which amplifies and pushes out the sound. Magnets are a very amazing audio device, definitely something you should look more into if you are a fan of cool musical experiments, or just want to know more about how the sound systems we all know and love work.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

These computer generated sound files are said to massage your brain and produce all sorts of effects, everything from psychedelic experiences to behavior modification. Let's point our skeptical eye at the science of binaural beats, and especially at some of the claims made for them. First of all, I'm sure you're curious right off the bat to hear what binaural beats sound like, so let's take a listen: Your browser does not support the audio tag. A binaureal beat is created by playing a different tone in each ear, and the interference pattern between the slightly differing frequencies creates the illusion of a beat. It's intended to be heard through headphones, so there's no cross-channel bleed across both ears. Listen to this, I'll play a simple binaural beat, and I'll slide the pan control back and forth from one ear to the other. You can see that there isn't actually any beat, it's just an acoustic illusion: Your browser does not support the audio tag. If you search the Internet for \"\"binaural beats\"\" you'll quickly find there's a whole industry built on the idea that listening to binaural beats can produce all kinds of desired effects in your brain. It can alter your mood, help you follow a diet or stop smoking, get you pumped up for a competition, calm you down, put you to sleep, enhance your memory, act as an aphrodisiac, cure headaches, and even balance your chakra."

The bad news is that unless you’re actually a great genius of music, that’s going to be a pretty lofty goal, and I can’t guarantee 100% it’s something you’ll actually achieve. While genius may be an inherent gift, greatness is the product of hard work, and many of the greats would never have known about their gifts had they not made the attempt to become record producers in the first place. If you intend to try and walk the path of greatness pioneered by giants like George Martin, Tony Visconti, and Butch Vig, then read on and find out just what it takes to make it as a record producer. Producer Tony Visconti, the man behind David Bowie’s Low, Lodger, and Heroes. That’s the standard to aim for.1Love and Respect Music This is the single most important element of achieving success as a producer. If you’re just in it for the promise of money, glamour, or prestige, you’re unlikely to achieve any of those things. Love music and commit yourself to knowing as much as you can about it. Critically listen to a million records until you understand what makes a song work and what weakens it. Keep the goal of producing a great song your top priority on every single track you make."
