"text": "The Prony brake is a simple type of dynamometer used to measure the amount of torque produced by a motor or engine in order to determine its brake horsepower rating. The device was invented in 1821 by a French engineer named Gaspard de Prony, and continues to be widely used by tractor and heavy equipment manufacturers. A Prony brake consists of a belt that is wrapped around the output shaft of an engine or motor. A series of weights are then attached to the ends of the belt until the engine stalls under the friction created by the load. The amount of weight needed to stall the engine determines the amount of torque or pulling power that the engine is capable of producing. A modern Prony brake usually consists of some type of brake drum along with a pulley that is connected to an engine’s output shaft on one side, and a brake lever on the opposite side. A device used to measure the amount of force being applied to the brake arm is also attached to the Prony brake as well. An additional device is utilized to measure the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) that the engine’s output shaft is turning during the test. A tension band is also attached to the pulley in order to apply braking force to the output shaft of the engine being tested. Ad To begin the testing procedure, the engine is first started and gradual pressure is then applied to the tension band."

"text": "\"Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake and hydraulic clutch applications in automobiles, motorcycles, light trucks, and some bicycles. It is used to transfer force into pressure, and to amplify braking force. It works because liquids are not appreciably compressible. Most brake fluids used today are glycol-ether based, but mineral oil ( Citroën / Rolls-Royce liquide hydraulique minéral ( LHM )) and silicone ( DOT 5) based fluids are also available. [ 1]Brake fluids must meet certain requirements as defined by various standards set by organizations such as the SAE, or local government equivalents. For example, most brake fluid sold in North America is classified by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) under its own ratings such as \"\" DOT 3 \"\" and \"\" DOT 4 \"\". Their classifications broadly reflect the concerns addressed by the SAE's specifications, but with local details - Alaska and the Azores for example, have different normal temperature and humidity ranges to consider. Many countries defer explicitly to the SAE specifications, or simply refer to \"\"best practice\"\" which in application would defer to SAE standard. All approved fluids must be colorless or amber to be acceptable for street use in the U. S, except for DOT 5 silicone, which must be purple.

That is why a Diesel engine with 400Nm of Torque cannot out-accellerate a petrol car with 400Nm of Torque. Horsepower is calculated by multiplying the amount of torque by the RPM of the engine (and dividing by 5,252. But that's not important here). Because a Diesel produces its power at say 2000 RPM, it's BHP figure would be rated at 152BHP, meaning that although it's a very strong engine, it cannot use that power very quickly. The petrol engine makes 400Nm at 6000RPM so the formula gives us 456BHP."

Hydraulic head or piezometric head is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a geodetic datum.

In an aquifer, it can be calculated from the depth to water in a piezometric well (a specialized water well ), and given information of the piezometer's elevation and screen depth. Hydraulic head can similarly be measured in a column of water using a standpipe piezometer by measuring the height of the water surface in the tube relative to a common datum.

With a few exceptions, it is also a subject whose secrets have been rather closely guarded by those who have made a career of it through the model press. But if the experimental process is not disclosed, what faith can we have in the results? Conversely, does it matter? If engine reviewer X uses the same technique for all his tests, a comparison of the numbers rather than the numbers themselves can be a reasonably reliable performance indication. But as pointed out by Gordon Cornell, peak torque and BHP are only part of the story; how many times do you see a figure quoted for fuel consumption? Then there's the atmospheric conditions existing at the time of the tests to be considered. I know some engine testers of days past went to some length to obtain figures under differing atmospheric conditions which were then averaged into their final curves. Often this fact went unremarked. But how many published performance figures were the result of one test on one day due to publishing deadlines?"

But more important than that, brake noise can indicate a serious safety problem that could affect your car’s ability to stop. If your brakes are making a racket, it’s a good idea to have a mechanic check them out as soon as possible. How your brakes work Brakes bring your car to a stop — we all know this. But how does it happen? There are two basic types of braking systems: disc and drum. Most vehicles have disc brakes on at least the front axle, and many have discs all the way around. Disc brake system components: Pads Rotors Calipers Drum brake system components: Shoes Drums Wheel cylinders Both types of systems have a master cylinder, where hydraulic pressure is created when you press the brake pedal. Pressing the pedal forces the pressurized brake fluid through a series of brake lines and hoses to the wheels."

"text": "Choosing your tire width Greg Kopecky Mon Nov 11 2013We tend to get very in-depth here at Slowtwitch, but I thought it was a good time to address something simple that is often overlooked or misunderstood by new triathletes: What size tire should you ride? Some might even be surprised that – yes – there are different sizes and widths available. Just because a certain type or size was on your bike when you bought it does not mean that it’s the best choice for you. While tire choice isn’t something that’s going to influence your outlook on life, there are some simple things to consider that could and should influence your next tire purchase. Basic Terminology There are two very basic things to understand about your tire – the diameter and width. Here is an example of how that width is written for most road bikes today: Slideshow The two key numbers are ‘700’ and ‘23’. 700 refers to the diameter of the tire, and 23 refers to the width (both in millimeters). For the long explanation of these numbers, take a look at the story linked at the bottom of this page - Wheel Size Wars. On a ‘700c’ wheel, you can have a range of different widths. 23mm wide tires have been the standard for most road cycling over the past couple decades."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Astronomy Planetary Science Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes? Flag Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes? Answer by jack Wise Confidence votes 33.4KInertia. Newton's first law tells us that an object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest remains at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force. This phenomenon is called inertia. A wheel is designed to turn with little resistance. The surface of a tire on the other hand is designed to have maximum resistance between the tire and the road surface. If designed properly, the wheel allows the vehicle to move with little mechanical effort while the tire provides the necessary contact with the road surface providing the desirable control for steering and braking. The brakes, of a motor vehicle or bicycle, modify the ability of a wheel to turn freely, and since the wheel will tend to turn less freely, the vehicle will tend to slow. The inertia of the vehicle or bicycle with respect to the road can be considered to be kinetic energy."

"text": "\"Pedal and Pedal Pressure Q: How do I measure the pedal ratio and what pedal ratio is best suited for my application? A: Pedal assembly ratio, or mechanical leverage, is the ratio calculated as the length from the pivot point of the pedal to the center of the foot pedal (A), divided by the length from the pivot point to the master cylinder pushrod (B). Refer to the figures below. Mechanical leverage is simply a means of increasing the brake force without increasing your leg effort. As “A” gets longer and “B” gets shorter, the mechanical leverage increases brake force without pushing harder on the pedal. The disadvantage is that the pedal stroke also increases, requiring you to push the pedal further. With a 1” master cylinder stroke, a 100-pound push on the pedal, and the pedal having a 4:1 ratio, the force is 4 x 100 = 400 pounds, and the stroke is 4 x 1 = 4 inches. With a 100 pound push on the pedal, with the pedal having a 6:1 ratio, the force is 6 x 100 = 600 pounds, and the stroke is 6 x 1 = 6 inches. If uncertain about which pedal ratio is right for your application, a 6:1 ratio is an excellent starting point. A = Distance from pivot point to middle of push / pull point B = Distance from pivot to point of push on master cylinder P = Pivot point F = Force or push For further information, review Wilwood's Tech Tip Guide."

"text": "02Jan 2013Brake Vibration: Common Questions Answered0 Comment Brake Vibration: Common Questions Answered What is Brake Vibration? Brake vibration is where a shaking motion occurs when the brakes in a car or other vehicle are deployed. This can vary from a slight shaking to a quite severe shuddering, depending on the severity of the condition. It can also be known as rotor shimmying or brake pulsation. What causes it? If the brake rotors installed on the vehicle have more than .05mm of run out (where the brake rotor moves from side to side more than a minimal amount of .05mm), then brake vibration will occur through the steering. Usually, this is due to one of two different reasons. The face of the disc may have some rust or dirt on it, which is causing the run out figure to be incorrect. Such build up may occur during the lifetime of the rotor, and this can cause the run out to be up to five times the limit installed by the factory. If the problem is not due to this, it may be that a ‘thin spot’ has occurred on the rotor (where there has been intermittent pad contact instead of a constant motion)."

"text": "ABS Motorcycles vs Non ABS Motorcycles – Do You Need Motorcycle ABS? The ongoing ABS motorcycle vs non-ABS motorcycle is a strange thing. I would wager that it is impossible today to buy a new car in the western world without ABS. It’s a standard feature on the most high end of sports cars down to family sedans and small hatchbacks. It’s only not used in motor sports like Formula 1 because it took away from the required skills of the driver and made braking too easy. Despite all of this, there is still a large percentage of brand new motorcycles that either don’t have ABS at all or as an option. So if ABS on four wheels is good, why do some consider it on two wheels to be bad? It’s especially baffling because braking on a motorcycle is much more difficult than for a car. First of all, you have separate controls for both the front and rear brakes on a bike with a requirement to apply differing amounts of force to each – one with the right hand and one with the right foot. On a car, if you lock the front brake it’s easy to release the brake pedal and reapply pressure."

"text": "Brake Bias and Performance Why Brake Balance Mattersby Tom Mc Cready and James Walker, Jr. of sc R motorsports Long, long ago in a magazine far, far away, a few renegade brake engineers rallied together to bring forward the following message:“You can take this one to the bank. Regardless of your huge rotor diameter, brake pedal ratio, magic brake pad material, or number of pistons in your calipers, your maximum deceleration is limited every time by the tire to road interface. That is the point of this whole article. Your brakes do not stop your car. Your tires do stop the car. So while changes to different parts of the brake system may affect certain characteristics or traits of the system behavior, using stickier tires is ultimately the only sure-fire method of decreasing stopping distances. ”However, there’s more to the story. Yes the tires stop the car, but improper brake balance can make a complete mess out of even the best components. There’s always a “but”, isn’t there? In order to demonstrate the concept of proper brake balance, it is usually simpler to analyze a car’s handling characteristics and then apply those principles back to the braking system. ("

"text": "What Happens If I Eat a Protein Shake Before a Workout?by NICOLE CAMPBELL Oct. 03, 2017Protein shakes consist of protein powder mixed with water or milk. Usually prepared in a blender or a shake cup, protein shakes are an integral part of the pre-workout regimen for many people. Drinking a protein shake before exercising is supposed to improve your workout and aid in achieving fitness goals. While protein shakes aren't for everyone, drinking one before your workout may have benefits. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Muscle Manufacturing According to Bodybuilding.com, drinking protein shakes before exercising is important for those who are looking to build muscle. Muscles are made up primarily of protein, and taking a protein shake before work helps provide your body with the protein it needs to become stronger and build muscle. Protein is also used to create enzymes and other hormones that your body needs to continue to build strength. Muscle Healing Working out causes intense contractions which lead to small tears in the fibers of your muscles. This minor damage to the muscles when you work out is one of the reasons why rest days are so important -- the muscles need time to recuperate and repair themselves. Protein helps deliver many of the vital nutrients that your body needs for this repair."

Greenblatt, ACE-CPT, Certified Personal Trainer, The Sporting Club at The Bellevue @ashleyblakefit| [email protected] One pound of mashed potatoes weighs the same as one pound of raw potatoes. No matter how you slice, scallop or roast it, a pound is a pound. So why do the weight-watching women of the world preach the misinformed belief that lean muscle weighs more than fat? I find most individuals use this erroneous rationale to soften the blow of the scale. When the numbers on the scale begin to tip in an unfavorable direction, it is easy to find comfort in the theory that muscle weighs more than fat—especially if you are resistance training. While fat and lean muscle weighs the same pound for pound, their composition varies immensely. Muscle has a leaner appearance due to its high density, whereas free-floating, Jello-like, fatty tissue needs more space to jiggle around, due to its low volume. Hence, someone with a high body-fat percentage will look overweight in comparison to an individual with a high lean tissue percentage. The best way to illustrate this concept is to use the mashed potatoes analogy."

They also contain protein, antioxidants, fiber and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc and niacin. Omega-3 fatty acids are important to the developing baby during a pregnancy, and fiber can help prevent the constipation that so often plagues pregnant women. Protein is also vitally important for pregnant women to maintain blood volume and support the growing baby. Incorporating chia seeds into your diet during pregnancy may help meet your nutritional requirements necessary for a healthy pregnancy. Omega-3 Fatty Acids The March of Dimes notes that omega-3 fatty acids are important during pregnancy for the development of the unborn baby’s eyes, brain and central nervous system.

Protein also helps to keep us satisfied for longer after a meal which is one of the reasons the high protein, low-carb diet is popular. Guest post by dietitian Zoe Wilson APDHow much protein do we need a day? We don’t actually need as much as some would have us believe - and more is not necessarily better. For women 50g per day and for men 65g per day is recommended. For men this is equivalent to the amount of protein found in a small steak (100g) and 2 eggs plus a multigrain bread roll or a 200g tub of natural yoghurt. Eating too much protein can be a problem as it puts excess pressure on your kidneys and increases the amount of calcium excreted in the urine, risking bone health in the long-term."

Below are 7 facts you should know about Ensure™ protein shakes before you run out to the store and stock up on more of them than you may want.1) Ensure Active Protein shakes have 18 grams of sugar per bottle That is about 4.5 teaspoons of sugar in one 10oz bottle, and is about 75% of the amount of sugar that the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association recommend that you consume in a whole day. Let’s look at it this way. One bottle of Ensure Active Protein contains about as much sugar as a serving of chocolate ice cream. Does this sound like a health food to you? There may be a lot of contributing factors for obesity, but I can tell you from personal experience that the second you cut a ton of sugar out of your life you will see dramatic weight loss. Sugar is something you can not only live without, but will thrive without if you ever give your body the chance to function without much of it.2) Ensure Active Protein is fat free One of the biggest mistakes in our society is that dietary fat causes obesity. We are all so concerned with avoiding fat in our diet that most all foods in the store have a fat free or low fat option."

Otherwise smart folks are scooping powdered protein into morning shakes and baking it into muffins in the name of health, fitness, and longevity. Otherwise smart folks are scooping powdered protein into morning shakes and baking it into muffins in the name of health, fitness, and longevity. So are protein powders an absurd invention of modernity or a healthy convenience food? What's wrong with protein powders? According to Sally Fallon of the Weston A Price Foundation, the process of making protein powders often requires extremely high heat which overly denatures the proteins (as opposed to the normal denaturing that happens during digestion or cooking) to such an extent that they become virtually useless while increasing nitrates, MSG, and other carcinogens. While this makes perfect sense to me, there are plenty of folks out there that will argue this point and an increasing number of supplement companies that now offer ‘non-denatured' products. Personally, I'm in the camp that thinks that any dehydrated, powdered food with prolonged shelf-life is probably not really a food. When it comes to the down-side of protein powders – be they organic, hemp, whey, soy, etc – the point that I find most compelling is that protein should not be consumed regularly without a proportionate amount of its naturally occurring fat – this means lean meat and protein powders are simply a no-no unless also supplemented with healthy saturated fats. The saturated fat and fat soluble vitamins in dairy and meat help the body to properly use the protein, vitamins, and minerals."

Considering what typical protein shakes promise – sleek muscles, weight loss and a quick, easy “healthy” meal replacement – it’s logical to see why, but is your protein shake safe? Unfortunately, the food industry is making an absolute killing (maybe literally) selling ones that are filled with highly processed denatured proteins, chemicals, preservatives and other additives. There’s one thing in common for all of them – they are all processed and deciding on whether or not they are actually real food comes into question. Now not all processed things we put in our body are technically bad for us – but understanding what exactly is in your protein shake is critical to deciding whether to consume it, select an alternative, or discontinue use all together. GET INFORMEDWe’ve discussed GMO’s here, Artificial Colors here, Natural Flavors here, Carrageenanhere, Antibiotics here, and Hormones here before so I won’t go into them again in detail specifically. Regardless, you should know consuming a protein drink with any of those ingredients is a risk to your health. NOT CERTIFIED ORGANICMost protein powders on the market are not certified organic, nor are they Non-GMO Project Verified. That means all of them might contain GMOs and most definitely contain pesticides that are considered harmful and potentially toxicwith long-term exposure."

Whether you're looking to shed unwanted pounds, get a quick energy jolt, build muscles, or fight the aging process, protein drinks are being boosted by some supplement makers as a scientifically proven way to quickly achieve your goals. The products, sold as ready-to-drink liquids or powders that you mix with milk, juice, or water to make shakes, attract not just athletes and body-builders but also baby boomers, pregnant women, and teenagers looking for a shortcut to a buff body. Some ads say that protein supplements, in flavors such as strawberry and vanilla cream, can be a nutritious and time-saving snack or meal replacement. Marketing for Energy First Pro Energy Whey Protein Isolate says the protein supplement is \"\"ideal\"\" for pregnant women and growing children, and also offers this promise for aging adults who use it: \"\"You will rarely if ever be sick and you will begin to look and feel years younger. \"\" In a testimonial for BSN Lean Dessert Protein Shake, \"\"fitness celebrity\"\" Jennifer Nicole Lee says, \"\"Being a busy mom with 12-hour workdays, I rely upon my Lean Dessert Protein to get adequate amounts of protein without wasting time on creating complex meals ....\"\"Another product, Muscle Milk, boasts on its website: \"\"Designed after one of nature's most balanced foods: human mother's milk ....\"\"But our investigation, including tests at an outside laboratory of 15 protein drinks, a review of government documents, and interviews with health and fitness experts and consumers, found most people already get enough protein, and there are far better and cheaper ways to add more if it's needed. Some protein drinks can even pose health risks, including exposure to potentially harmful heavy metals, if consumed frequently. All drinks in our tests had at least one sample containing one or more of the following contaminants: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Those metals can have toxic effects on several organs in the body."

If your powder has expired, it is best to throw it away. Storage Most protein powders are made from animal by-products, such as eggs and dairy.

Drinking a protein shake at bedtime has some advantages for weight loss, because protein boosts metabolism and stimulates muscle building. The challenge is making sure the calories in your shake don't ruin your daily calorie goal. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Calories in Protein Shakes A protein shake may sound like a healthy addition to a weight loss diet -- and protein does support weight loss -- but your success depends on how it’s used. You could replace a meal with a shake, enjoy it as a snack, or drink it right before bed, but if the protein shake adds calories on top of a normal daily intake, it’s going to lead to weight gain rather than loss. The protein powders used to make shakes have a range of calories, so you may find some brands have more or less, but as a general guideline, you can count on the powder alone to have 110 to 170 calories per serving. The powder also has to be mixed with a beverage to make a shake. You could go with water to avoid more calories, but if you choose a cup of skim milk or orange juice, you’ll add 83 calories and 112 calories, respectively. Now, your protein shake is up to as much as 282 calories, which is enough to ruin a diet if the calories aren’t calculated as part of your total daily intake. If you consume 500 more calories than you burn each day, you’ll gain weight, while taking in 500 fewer calories results in the loss of a pound over a week's time."

Women looking at protein shakes and supplements may get the impression that they’re only for bodybuilders. It’s true that high-protein shakes can help develop lean muscle mass, which is a benefit for all women, but it’s also true that shakes can encourage fat loss, increase satiety, deliver essential nutrients and even improve metabolic activity. Muscle Gain Rice University recommends regularly strength training and upping your daily protein intake by 0.2 to 0.4 grams per pound of body weight per day if your objective is gaining lean muscle. Retaining muscle mass and getting an adequate amount of protein is particularly important for women as they age and their risks of osteoporosis and joint problems increase. If you strength train and eat protein daily, you don't need shakes to retain or gain muscle. However, if you don't eat many protein-rich foods, drinking an occasional shake can help you get enough of the nutrient. Fat Loss Using a protein shake as an occasional meal replacement may help you lose more weight and fat than you would by following a reduced-calorie diet. According to the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,” high-quality proteins are more satiating than either carbohydrates or fats, and they may have the ability to improve the body’s metabolism."

"text": "The Benefits of a Provisional Patent Application By Gene Quinn May 13, 20178Print Article There is a great misunderstanding among many inventors and entrepreneurs regarding what many simply refer to as a provisional patent . The first thing that needs to be said is that there is no such thing as a provisional patent . Instead, what you file is called a provisional patent application. Like any other patent application, a provisional patent application is effective to stop the clock relative to so-called statutory bars and immediately upon filing a provisional patent application you can say you have a patent pending. Provisional patent applications, done properly, are a great way to take a first step toward a utility patent. Now that the United States has become a first to file country and abandoned our historic first to invent ways ( see A Brave New World — First to File Becomes Law) it is critically important to file a patent application as soon as practically possible. Filing a provisional patent application that adequately describes the invention will establish priority and satisfies the need to act swiftly under first to file rules. A well prepared provisional patent application is your best friend in a first to file world. Of course, a provisional patent application must be understood as nothing more than the first step toward receiving a patent. Ultimately you will need to file a nonprovisional patent application in order to obtain a patent in the United States."

Copyright registration greatly enhances one's rights by providing legal evidence and public notice of ownership, and by allowing the copyright holder to bring suit in federal court in cases of infringement. A copyright typically lasts the author's lifetime, plus an additional 70 years."

"text": "Protecting Ideas: Can Ideas Be Protected or Patented? By Gene Quinn February 15, 201418Print Article Unfortunately, despite what you may have heard from late night television, satellite radio commercials or snake oil salesmen, there is no effective way to protect an idea. Copyrights protect expression and patents protects inventions, and neither protect ideas. In both cases the idea is the first critical step, but without some identifiable embodiment of the idea there can be no intellectual property protection obtained and no exclusive rights will flow unto you. This does not mean that you should give up when you only have an idea, but it does mean that you will need to proceed to flesh out your idea to the point where it is concrete enough to be more than what the law would call a “mere idea.” The moral of the story is that ideas alone cannot be protected, so you need to think in terms of invention. Inventions can be patented. You just have to get from idea to invention. On your journey from idea to invention to patent and ultimately, hopefully riches, please stop thinking that you will get rich by selling your idea to industry and sit back and collect royalty checks for doing nothing. If inventing were that easy everyone would be a filthy rich inventor!"

"text": "\"DEFINITION of 'Provisional Patent Application'A short-term means of protecting an invention that requires less effort and expense than obtaining a formal patent. Filing a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) enables independent inventors to put a “patent pending” label on their idea for up to 12 months. This allows them to safeguard their intellectual property while they pitch their idea to manufacturers or buy time while they refine their product. Next Up Utility Patent Medical Patent Patent Attorney Design Patent BREAKING DOWN 'Provisional Patent Application'Compared to a traditional patent, provisional patent applications (PPAs) are simpler and more concise – frequently taking less than 10 pages. In the application, the filer explains the product’s design and the purpose that it serves. PPAs are also much less expensive than a full utility patent, which typically requires the help of an attorney. The filing fee is $65 for a micro-entity, $130 for a small firm and $260 for a large business. There are a couple of major benefits to obtaining a provisional patent. First, inventors don’t have to worry about a manufacturer stealing their idea because the temporary “patent pending” label signals a potential lawsuit in the event of infringement. Secondly, PPAs allow inventors to perfect their concept prior to filing a full patent."

"text": "Non-Provisional Utility Patent Application Overview A Non-Provisional Utility Application is the traditional application to protect how your invention works or is made. Once filed, you are able to mark your product as “Patent Pending” and the wheels toward obtaining your patent begin. A Non-Provisional Utility Application is a complete application as it includes the claims. Provisional applications generally do not include claims. The claims are the most important portion of an application as they form the basis of what your patent will protect. For example, when you sue someone for patent infringement, you will read a claim in your patent and see if each element of that claim is found in the infringing device. If each element is met, that product or process likely infringes your patent. Because claims are so important, potential manufacturers or licensees generally prefer to see a Non-Provisional Application pending rather than a Provisional Application. Therefore, a Non-Provisional Application is a good way to go if you want to file a complete application and use it as a tool to generate interest in your invention from potential manufacturers or licensees. When compared to filing a Provisional Application, filing a Non-Provisional at the onset generally results in an application process that is less expense overall."

Then you are probably wondering how to quickly patent your idea. A patent is a form of intellectual property and will prevent your ideas from being used without your consent. Be careful to never disclose your invention to any friend or any person without proper protections. If you share your invention or idea with someone else and do not have proper legal protections in place, you are actually authorizing others to use your idea. What Exactly is a Patent Patents are protections for inventors who properly file, so that the patented invention cannot be used or sold by others for a definite time. You, as inventor, are not protected by a patent useless it is approved by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). This process is very complex and also takes time. It is highly suggested, and in the inventor’s best interest, to get a patent lawyer in order to get through all the paperwork of the patent."

Please be aware that I hold myself available for a counseling session to discuss your invention with you at no cost, either at my Dunedin, Florida office or by calling 727-734-2855 or toll free 1-877-882-2212. UTILITY PATENT INFORMATIONI. Background Information To give you some background information, a patent is a contract between an inventor and the government. The inventor must fully disclose his invention and he thereby contributes something new, useful and unobvious to the fund of public knowledge. In exchange, the government grants to the inventor, or his assignee, the right to exclude others from making, using or selling the claimed invention for 20 years from the date of filing of the application for patent. When a patent application is filed with the U. S. Patent Office, a Patent Examiner, in determining patentability, must find that the invention is (1) useful, (2) novel and (3) non-obvious. The invention is useful if it has a present day useful purpose. Novelty is satisfied unless the Examiner finds a single prior art reference which contains all of the features of the invention which are claimed in the patent application. In determining whether an invention is obvious, an Examiner may rely on the combined teachings of several patents, printed publications or other prior art references."

"text": "The Cost of Obtaining a Patent in the USBy Gene Quinn April 4, 201518Print Article One of the most frequent questions I get asked by inventors and businesses is about how much it will cost to obtain a utility patent in the US. Estimating US patent costs is a difficult matter because so much depends on the technology involved, but answering “it depends” is not particularly insightful or helpful. With that in mind, what follows are some general ballpark estimates, which should give at least some guidance when trying to budget for the filing of a patent application at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It will also be helpful to review Patent Attorney Fees Explained and US Patent Office Fees. First, it is essential to understand that the very nature of patenting an invention means that you have to have come up with something unique compared with the prior art. There are challenges inherent in the description of what makes an invention unique, and the law is only getting more complicated. Thanks to the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and ever more regulations from the United States Patent and Trademark Office it has become more difficult over the years to create the type of written description and claim sets required. You can still get a patent, and in fact obtaining a patent is getting easier in many respects than it was 5 to 10 years ago, but gone are the days that a worthwhile patent can be obtained for cheap. With patent applications you will alwaysget what you pay for. It might be useful to start with a discussion of those types of things that will influence the anticipated cost of preparing and filing a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office."

So what is a provisional patent application that you have heard so much about? - A provisional patent application is a type of patent application which can be filed in the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) . There are many types of patent applications which an inventor can use to protect his or her idea and a provisional patent application is just one of those types of applications with its own set of rules, advantages, and disadvantages. A provisional patent application can be used to protecthold your spot in line at the patent officefor a new invention that is either a method (including methods performed by software) or an object such as a new device or machine. Types of Patent Applications filed at the USPTO (note that some people will call a non-provisional a \"\"utility\"\" patent application which is not proper because both the provisional and non-provisional are types of \"\"utility\"\" patent applications as you can see in the chart above)Another way to look at it - the engagement/marriage example If you are completely lost, one way to picture this is to compare a provisional patent application to a proposal and marriage. When you file a provisional patent application its like proposing to your future wife (or husband). You are not officially married but your significant other is wearing a ring and letting the whole world know they are spoken for (like using the term \"\"patent pending\"\"). Once your engagement period is up, you can either walk away (not get married) or you can go through the wedding ceremony. Just like when your provisional time period is up (12 months after you file) you can either walk away or file the next type of patent application called the \"\"non-provisional\"\"."

A patent application is a legal document and you cannot expect to \"\"spend one evening filling it out,\"\" the better written the patent, the better the protection your patent will produce. Think of it as a contract for your invention, a contract that you or someone you hire will have to create, a contract where every single word has impact. For example, when describing your invention you write \"\"part A is nailed to part B\"\", somebody else may be able to patent a very similar invention by claiming, \"\"part A is glued to part B.\"\" It would be safer to use the word attached or attached by a variety of fasteners.

( If you do find a manufacturer willing to sign a nondisclosure agreement, you can learn more about the relationship between trade secrecy and inventions at www.ndasforfree.com .) Also, keep in mind that under recent patent law revisions (The America Invents Act passed September 12, 2011), any public sale or disclosure prior to filing a patent application will jeopardize your ability to obtain patent protection. Traditional Approaches to Protecting Inventions On March 16, 2013, the U. S. adopted a first-to-file system. Under this system the first inventor to file an application (not to invent), gets the patent.

"text": "Share0Share0Tweet0+10Share What Does Patent Pending Mean? What Does Patent Pending Mean? Share The term “patent pending” is often used on certain products by inventors that have begun the application process in regards to securing patent protection and have submitted the application for review to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The granting of a patent by the USPTO is known to be quite a lengthy procedure, often times taking up to three years to issue the patent. During such time, the owners of the invention or the patent holders will often affix the words “patent pending” on their invention or product in order to give notice to others that the patent application process is underway. Conditions to Use Patenting Pending In the United States, there are certain requirements imposed by applicable patent laws in regards to the correct usage of “patent pending” notices on inventions or products. The most important requirement would prove to be obvious, which is to formally have an actual patent application filed with the USPTO. The type of application in regards to the patent may not matter for the use of the patent pending notice, though it is normally associated with the provisional patent application. The provisional patent application will not commence the formal investigation process until after a year from the date of the application. Furthermore, no claims are necessary to be included in the application."

Copyright is a form of protection that covers the field of creative work both fiction and non-fiction. Any authorship or original work like literary, musical, pictorial graphic or artistic are included in copyright protection.

"text": "While the earliest mobile apps predate the original i Phone (I ran a particularly useful personal budgeting and accounting app on my beloved Palm Pilot™ nearly 20 years ago), mobile apps have been an increasingly important area of technology development since the Apple App Store first opened in July 2008. The impressive computing power we now carry around in our pockets and purses continues to change the way we interact with the world around us by putting life-saving personal safety and telemedicine apps at our fingertips, enabling impressively complex and useful photo and video apps, connecting us through engaging social media apps, and beyond. Mobile Apps Can Be Patented With their rise in commercial success, and the success of the App Store, Google Play, Samsung Apps, and the Windows Phone Store, mobile apps have increasingly been a hot topic for patent clients. From a patent perspective, mobile apps are no different from other software when it comes to patent eligibility and patentability, which means yes, apps can be patented. However, there are nuances to explore when looking at whether it makes sense to pursue a patent in a market in which a quick shelf life is the norm. When Are Mobile Apps Patentable In order to be patented, a mobile app must meet three main criteria; the features and functions for which you seek protection must be: Patent Eligible (not an abstract idea);Novel (new); and Non-Obvious (would not have been obvious to someone skilled in the relevant area of technology at the time of the invention)Patent Eligibility The primary patent eligibility concern for software applications is whether the USPTO (and the courts) would consider the invention to be an “abstract idea.” In 2014, the US Supreme Court decided Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International, the case about patenting abstract ideas that has established the key guidelines for determining patent eligibility for software. The two-test for patent eligibility with respect to abstract ideas is:determine whether the patent claim contains an abstract idea, such as an algorithm, method of computation, or other general principle; if not, the claim is potentially patentable; if so, proceed to the next step; anddetermine whether the patent claims an addition of “something extra” to the idea, wherein the something extra embodies an “inventive concept. ”The Court held that ordinary and customary use of a general-purpose digital computer is not enough—”merely requir [ing] generic computer implementation fail [s] to transform [an] abstract idea into a patent-eligible invention. ”If the mobile app is not merely an abstract idea, it must then meet the next two criteria by being new and non-obvious."

He has a new book titled Sell Your Ideas With or Without a Patent. The title of the book will undoubtedly rub patent attorneys and patent agents the wrong way, but you can’t always judge a book by its cover, or in this case a title. If you have read Key’s other books (which I strongly recommend) you know that he is not at all anti-patent. Indeed, Key has been quite successful as an inventor himself, holding a strong portfolio of patents that he has licensed, sold in some cases and successfully litigated. Key is not one who recommends inventors forego the patent process, but rather Key is a businessman who understands several critically important business realities – first, just because you can get a patent doesn’t mean you should, and second, before you rush off to the patent office you need to do your homework and have some reason to believe the invention has a market and is feasible to manufacture. Let’s take a step back. I spoke with Key on September 21, 2015 (yes this article is long overdue) and he explained to me that his inventor coaching business – Invent Right – has both grown and changed over the past several years. “ We are actively licensing for students every week,” Key told me. As Key works with inventors he coaches, who he refers to as students because he teaches them how to do much of the work for themselves, he explained that increasingly he is seeing interest on the part of companies in licensing inventions without a patent attached to the product. “"

Provisional Nonprovisional Purpose A USPTO Provisional Patent Application is designed to provide a lower- cost first patent filing in the United States for a utility patent. Under the provisions of 35 U. S. C. § 119 (e), the resulting corresponding non- provisional utility application (if later filed separately within 12 months) would benefit in three ways: (1) patentability would be evaluated as though filed on the earlier provisional application filing date, (See Patentability Evaluation) (2) the resulting publication or patent would be treated as a reference under 35 U. S. C. § 102 (e) as of the earlier provisional application filing date, and (3) the twenty- year patent term would be measured from the later non- provisional application filing date. The purpose of a nonprovisional patent application is to provide a tool for seeking the protection of inventions. Since not all patent applications issue into patents, it is not a guaranteed process for protection. By protecting intellectual endeavors and encouraging technological progress, the USPTO seeks to preserve the United States’ technological edge, a key to current and future competitiveness. An issued enforceable patent is a type of property right. It gives the patent holder the right, for a limited time, to exclude others from making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing into the United States the subject matter that is within the scope of protection granted by the patent. The patent does not give the right to make, use, offer for sale, sell or import the patent, only the right to exclude. The role of the USPTO is to grant patents for the protection of inventions."

They diagnose and treat patients with mental illnesses and can also serve as educators or counselors for medical patients and their families. They may collaborate with doctors or psychiatrists, but they generally don't have to work under supervision. Registered nurses, including psychiatric nurse practitioners, usually work full-time, though their schedules may vary widely. Nurses can be scheduled for 8- to 12-hour shifts and work evenings, nights, and/or weekends. Psychiatric nurse practitioners work in medical care settings, including hospitals, clinics, and mental health in-patient centers. As nurses, they may be exposed to patients with infectious diseases and, as psychiatric caregivers, they are at risk for injury when treating patients who may become violent or emotionally agitated. Although working with such clients can be very rewarding, it can also be very emotionally taxing."

They can have a Master's degree or a Doctorate, but not an MD. NPs can be very solid practitioners - there are good and bad NPs just like there are good and bad psychiatrists."

PMHNPs work in clinical settings that include private, state or Veterans Administration in-patient or outpatient psychiatric facilities, private psychiatric practices, and community mental health centers. PMHMPs also provide services in settings such as correctional facilities, domestic violence shelters, residential substance abuse facilities, and schools. PMHNPs may work with a wide range of people, including: Children who have or are at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders Adults dealing with stressful and emotional situations, including people dealing with chronic medical conditions and older adults at risk for emotional and cognitive decline People with a serious, chronic mental illness or who have mental health problems that lead to criminal behavior People with substance-related problems People who are in prison, homeless, victims of violence and abuse, and similar circumstances Increasingly, PMHNPs are also involved in mental health care in primary care settings. Although primary care generalists often treat common mental disorders through psychotropic drug interventions, they don’t typically have specific training in psychiatric conditions, and often have limited time to spend with patients. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners serving in a primary care capacity are more often in a position to devote the time needed to provide specialized intensive mental health services. PMHNP Education Programs A registered nurse interested in becoming a PMHNP must complete a master’s degree, post-master’s program, or Doctor of Nursing degree program with a concentration in psychiatric mental health. Post-master’s programs are typically pursued by nurses who already have a master’s degree in nursing (MSN) and later decide to specialize in psychiatric mental health. Highly specialized programs are available that focus specifically on either adult or family (including children’s) mental health. Programs typically offer both theoretical and clinical practice courses that teach a broad range of skills, such as: Psychosocial and physical assessment and differential diagnosis of mental health conditions Managing the care of a patient, including managing symptoms and behavioral change using education, therapy, and medication Promoting mental health Understanding cultural differences in providing mental health care Using data to evaluate patient outcomes Working with families, other healthcare practitioners, and communities PMHNP Certification and Licensure National certification is a necessary part of being licensed or recognized by state Boards of Nursing as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) serving the psychiatric mental health patient population."

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."

"text": "Moral Theory and Moral Criticism (Work in progress: Not to be quoted, but comments are welcome)Moral theory and moral criticism can be seen as different approaches to conduct and decision-making. Moral theory, as guiding action, is applied to questions that may arise as to what ought to be done or what is justified. A theory prescribes, at least to a certain extent, relevant considerations for each situation. The measure of its success is, then, whether it actually succeeds in including considerations relevant for making morally good decisions and excluding those that are not relevant. Moral criticism focuses on whether or not everything that should have been taken into account in a decision actually was taken into account. A governmental decision can for example be criticized on the grounds that it is likely to have certain undesirable effects. Such criticism may be answered by an argument showing that even though it is indeed likely to lead to such effects, other very desirable effects justify it. A moral criticism of this argument may challenge the overall estimate claiming that the decision fails to take into account certain considerations that ought to be taken into account and which will show the decision to be wrong. Such criticism may challenge preferential ranking or the values taken for granted or some other aspect of the decision. In this respect, moral criticism is independent of moral theory."

"text": "The Moral Permissibility of Punishment The legal institution of punishment presents a distinctive moral challenge because it involves a state’s infliction of intentionally harsh, or burdensome, treatment on some of its members—treatment that typically would be considered morally impermissible. Most of us would agree, for instance, that it is typically impermissible to imprison people, to force them to pay monetary sanctions or engage in community service, or to execute them. The moral challenge of punishment, then, is to establish what (if anything) makes it permissible to subject those who have been convicted of crimes to such treatment. Traditionally, justifications of punishment have been either consequentialist or retributivist. Consequentialist accounts contend that punishment is justified as a means to securing some valuable end—typically crime reduction, by deterring, incapacitating, or reforming offenders. Retributivism, by contrast, holds that punishment is an intrinsically appropriate (because deserved) response to criminal wrongdoing. Each type of account has been roundly criticized, on a variety of grounds, by theorists in the other camp. In an effort to break this impasse, scholars have attempted to find alternative strategies that incorporate certain consequentialist or retributivist elements but avoid the standard objections directed at each. Each of these accounts has, in turn, met with criticism. Finally, abolitionists argue that none of these defenses of punishment is satisfactory, and that the practice is morally impermissible; the salient question for abolitionists, then, is how else (if at all) society should respond to those forms of wrongdoing that we now punish."

While the public interest is well understood at policy level, at operating level the expression is ambiguous and has a multiplicity of interpretations. Current conceptions of the public interest are inadequate to define a principle which must stand as a measure of public policy. Who exactly is the public, what are the interests of the public, and what does it mean to serve the public interest? Consequently, members of the accounting profession are expected to comply with a principle that is vague and ambiguous. This paper undertakes a critical analysis of the public interest in accounting relying on a typology of public interest theories (normative, consensualist, process, and abolitionist theories) developed by Cochran [Cochran CE. Political science and “the public interest”. The Journal of Politics 1974;36 (2):327–55]. The analysis indicates that existing knowledge and understanding of the public interest, is in part, consistent with some aspects of the Cochran's [Cochran CE. Political science and “the public interest”. The Journal of Politics 1974;36 (2):327–55] typology of public interest theories and inconsistent in others."

This entry will survey the main answers that have been given to the following questions. First, how should legitimacy be defined? Is it primarily a descriptive or a normative concept? If legitimacy is understood normatively, what does it entail? Some associate legitimacy with the justification of coercive power and with the creation of political authority. Others associate it with the justification, or at least the sanctioning, of existing political authority. Authority stands for a right to rule—a right to issue commands and, possibly, to enforce these commands using coercive power. An additional question is whether legitimate political authority is understood to entail political obligations or not. Most people probably think it does."

Nutritionists with advanced degrees may work for public agencies, preparing reports and educating the public on dietary matters. The American Dietetic Association [ 1] distinguishes nutritionists from dietitians based on education and certification received, although the nature of the work is similar. Typical costs: An associate's degree in nutrition costs $5,000-$30,000 and can prepare entry-level workers for a career as a nutritionist or dietitian's assistant, but does not prepare individuals seeking licensure as a nutritionist. Long Beach City College [ 2] in Long Beach, CA, offers a two-year associate's degree in food and nutrition for $5,500 including only tuition, books, and fees. In Palatine, IL, Harper College [ 3] offers an associate's degree in dietetics and nutrition for $4,800-$20,500 based on resident and non-resident tuition for a 47 credit-hour program. A bachelor's degree in health science, dietetics or a related field costs $14,000-$80,000. This degree prepares students for more advanced careers in nutrition, and is often a prerequisite for licensure and graduate study in nutrition. A bachelor's degree in dietetics at Eastern Michigan University [ 4] costs $14,300 for 58 credit hours and can be completed online. Undergraduate tuition at Montclair State University in Montclair, N. J., costs $7,800 per year for residents and $16,400 per year for non-residents, taking four years to complete."

Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals licensed to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional problems.

Roughly half of all RDNs hold graduate degrees [4] and many have certifications in specialized fields such as sports, pediatrics, renal, oncological, food-allergy, or gerontological nutrition. After learning about a patient's health history, favorite foods, eating and exercise habits, the RD helps the person to set goals and to prioritize.

Nutrition and dietetics degree programs focus on the chemical and biological components of our food and the ways in which these ingredients affect our health. In addition to understanding the components that make up the food we eat, nutritionists and dietitians also study the social impacts of food, including how it affects our economy, psychology and culture. Most graduates of nutrition and dietetics degree programs aspire to become nutritionists or dietitians, although many choose to specialize further within these careers. In a broad sense, both careers involve working closely with individuals or communities to plan and supervise the preparation of healthy meals, whether in the context of an individual practice or a large institution such as a school or hospital. Dietitians and nutritionists are also concerned with education and awareness. Teaching their patients how their diets affect their health and well-being is a large part of the job. If the patient understands that her current diet is placing her at risk, she is more likely to cooperate in the diet's modification. Types of Nutrition and Dietetics Degrees The programs available in nutrition and food science are as diverse as the foods they study. Ideally, you'll want to find a nutrition and dietetics degree program that can prepare you for the career path (including potential specialization) you intend to pursue in this industry."

Drinking three or more cups of tea a day is as good for you as drinking plenty of water and may even have extra health benefits, say researchers. The work in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition dispels the common belief that tea dehydrates. Tea not only rehydrates as well as water does, but it can also protect against heart disease and some cancers, UK nutritionists found. Experts believe flavonoids are the key ingredient in tea that promotes health. These polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage. Public health nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton, and colleagues at Kings College London, looked at published studies on the health effects of tea consumption. They found clear evidence that drinking three to four cups of tea a day can cut the chances of having a heart attack.

Many nutritionists go on to obtain a master’s degree, or even a Ph D. Some nutritionists have backgrounds in other areas of medicine as a nurse, general practitioner, or physician’s assistant. Specific fields of study for nutritionists may include weight management, diet and disease, wellness, nutrition through the lifecycle, and sports nutrition. As new trends and developments occur regularly in the food and health industries, it is important for nutritionists to continue learning and be informed. A good way to do this is through membership of a professional association such as the California Dietetic Association or the California School Nutrition Association. Because nutrition affects so many areas, nutritionists often specialize in a particular field of interest. For example, a nutritionist who works for a government agency may assist and teach clients about basic nutritional needs of infants and children to help them grow without nutrient deficiencies. Schools utilize the skills and knowledge of nutritionists to help plan meals that are served to students on a daily basis. Other nutritionists may specialize in helping those who struggle with certain diseases maintain a more healthy lifestyle. Their clients may suffer from diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, or obesity."

Soda addiction has long been a problem in our nation's schools. Every day for years, many kids have lined up at vending machines to buy their 20-ounce bottles of sugar and carbonated water before they go off to study important subjects like history, math, and, yes, nutrition. Kids love soda, but they aren't the only ones who are hooked. With few exceptions, it's the schools that haven't been able to give up the stuff. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and other beverage companies have long had a multimillion-dollar grip on the country's public schools. In exchange for installing soda machines on campus, schools have reaped huge amounts of money for athletic, music, and other programs they claim they couldn't continue without the soda companies' largesse. Of course, federal guidelines introduced in early 2014 propose to phase out the marketing of soda and other sugary drinks and junk food during the academic school day. But this will take time. In the early 2000s, 60 percent of all American middle schools and high schools sold soft drinks in vending machines, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association."

"text": "The Discipline Pulmonary medicine is the subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and management of disorders of the respiratory system, including the lungs, upper airways, thoracic cavity, and chest wall. Although most common respiratory problems are treated by general internists and other specialty physicians, internists practicing pulmonary medicine (often referred to as “pulmonologists”) are frequently called upon to help diagnose unknown disorders and assist in managing difficult, unusual, or complicated diseases of the respiratory system. Pulmonologists have expertise in structural, inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic disorders of the lung parenchyma, pleura and airways, pulmonary vascular disease and its effect on the cardiovascular system, and detection and prevention of occupational and environmental causes of lung disease. Diseases commonly evaluated and treated by pulmonologists include asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), emphysema, lung cancer, interstitial and occupational lung diseases, complex lung and pleural infections including tuberculosis, pulmonary hypertension, and cystic fibrosis. Some pulmonologists focus on sleep-disordered breathing (such as sleep apnea) and may provide diagnostic and therapeutic services in sleep laboratories. Some pulmonologists practice in dedicated pulmonary medicine practices or as part of a multidisciplinary group practice and provide consultative services for other physicians and follow patients with respiratory disease longitudinally. Others may work within hospitals to provide patient care and consultative services. Because pulmonologists have expertise in respiratory failure and complex interventions such as mechanical ventilation, they frequently oversee medical intensive care units in hospitals. As this role involves care of critically ill patients, training in pulmonary medicine is often coupled with training in critical care medicine. This dual training uniquely qualifies critical care pulmonologists (sometimes called “intensivists”) for work in intensive care units."

"text": "Cold & Flu Related Illnesses The Most Common Causes of Cough By Daniel More, MD, a board-certified physician Updated November 06, 2017Share Pin Email Print White Packert/The Image Bank/Getty Images A cough is the most common reason why people go to their primary doctor. In some cases, the cough has lasted less than three weeks and is termed an “acute cough.” A cough that has lasted for between three and eight weeks is termed a “sub-acute cough.” And coughing that has been going on for more than eight weeks is termed a “chronic cough. ”While some people have been coughing for years, the cause of a cough can be determined in at least 90% of these cases. Therapies for a cough have a success rate of at least 85%, and therefore, treatments should be aimed at the underlying cause, rather than just medications that cover up a cough temporarily. What Causes a Cough? The cause of a cough is dependent upon how long the symptom has been present. For example, the causes of an acute cough may be quite different from the causes of a chronic cough. In at least 25% of cases of a chronic cough, there are at least 2 medical conditions causing the cough in the person."

Nathan, MD, is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and director of the Asthma and Allergy Associates and Research Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. Q: \"\"What's the difference between asthma that is due to allergies and asthma that is not? \"\" A: \"\"Allergic asthma is an overreactive immunologic response that occurs because a person's body makes too much of an immune system component called immunoglobulin E (Ig E). People with allergic asthma are bothered by common allergens like animal dander, dust mites, pollen, mold, or cockroaches, and they are often allergic to more than one of these things. When a person has asthma that isn't related to allergies, but is instead triggered by factors that act directly on the lungs, such as infections, exercise, cold air, pollution, and stress, they have non-allergic asthma. Many people with asthma have a combination of non-allergic and allergic asthma. Of the nearly 19 million adults in the United States with asthma, about half have asthma that's related to allergies. But just 20% of adults with asthma have symptoms triggered by just allergies alone. \"\" Q: \"\"How can you tell if your asthma is due to allergies? \"\" A: \"\"First and foremost is the medical history. If a patient says he only has symptoms when he's near a cat or dog, for example, or only during pollen season, it's likely to be due to allergies. \"\""

That translates to about 100,000 bronchiolitis admissions a year in the United States, costing an estimated $1.73 billion. To help physicians better approach the disorder, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released an updated guideline (pediatrics.aappublications.org) on diagnosing, managing and preventing bronchiolitis that was published Nov. 1 in Pediatrics. After careful evaluation, the AAFP endorsed it in December. The guideline, which applies to children ages 1 to 23 months, includes several evidence-based updates to the AAP's 2006 guideline. It was developed by an AAP guideline subcommittee that included pediatricians, a family physician, hospitalists, pulmonologists, emergency physicians, a neonatologist and pediatric infectious disease physicians and was based on a literature review that research published between 2004 and May 2014, as well as some articles from the 2003 evidence report on which the 2006 guideline was based. Story highlights The AAFP has endorsed an evidence-based bronchiolitis guideline from the American Academy of Pediatrics that applies to children ages 1 to 23 months. The new guideline was developed by a subcommittee that included pediatricians, a family physician, hospitalists, pulmonologists, emergency physicians, a neonatologist and pediatric infectious disease physicians. Routine viral testing and a trial dose of a bronchodilator are no longer recommended, according to the guideline. Guideline subcommittee member and family physician Elizabeth Rosenblum, M. D., of the University of California-San Diego, said major changes include:no longer testing for specific viruses; no routine radiographic or laboratory studies;not recommending a trial dose of a bronchodilator such as albuterol;not administering epinephrine or corticosteroids to infants diagnosed with bronchiolitis;not administering palivizumab for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prophylaxis to otherwise healthy infants with gestational age of 29 weeks or more, although it should be used for infants with hemodynamically significant heart disease or chronic lung disease of prematurity during the first year of life; andadministering either nasogastric or IV fluids as needed."

"text": "Consult or Not By admin aapc In Industry News May 1, 2009 2 Comments Here’s How to Know for Sure By G. J. Verhovshek, MA, CPCIn 2006, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) released the report “Consultations in Medicare: Coding and Reimbursement,” claiming as many as 75 percent of services billed as consultations and allowed by Medicare in 2001 did not meet all applicable program requirements. Even prior to the report’s release, consults were a fixture in the OIG’s yearly Work Plan. Today—three years after the OIG called for greater education on the reporting requirements for CPT ® codes 99241-99255—proper consultation services reporting remains a consistent source of confusion for providers, payers, and coders alike. CPT ® defines a consultation as “a type of service provided by a physician whose opinion or advice regarding evaluation and/or management of a specific problem is requested by another physician or other appropriate source.” To substantiate a consultation service, documentation must include three elements: a request, a reason, and a report. An equally crucial fourth factor is intent. Often, reporting a consultation code for a given service comes down to honestly answering the question, “What did physician ‘A’ hope to accomplish by sending the patient to physician ‘B?’”The Request A consultation request typically comes from a physician who is seeking the opinion and advice (report) of another physician, usually a specialist, on how best to treat a patient with a specific problem (reason). A consultation request may also come from a “qualified” non-physician practitioner (NPP)—such as a physician assistant, nurse practitioner, etc.—who is acting within the scope of practice and licensure requirements for NPPs in the state in which she practices, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Medicare Claims Processing Manual, chapter 12, section 30.6.10. A. Always research your particular state and payer requirements before reporting an NPP-requested service as a consultation because state and payer guidelines vary. Important: The consultation request must appear in writing; a verbal consultation request alone does not meet documentation requirements."

"text": "\"Pulse oximetry From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Pulse oximeter)navigation search A wrist mounted remote sensor pulse oximeter with plethysmograph. Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method for monitoring a person's oxygen saturation (S O 2 ). Though its reading of Sp O 2 (peripheral oxygen saturation) is not always identical to the more desirable reading of Sa O 2 (arterial oxygen saturation) from arterial blood gas analysis, the two are correlated well enough that the safe, convenient, noninvasive, inexpensive pulse oximetry method is valuable for measuring oxygen saturation in clinical use. In its most common (transmissive) application mode, a sensor device is placed on a thin part of the patient's body, usually a fingertip or earlobe, or in the case of an infant, across a foot. The device passes two wavelengths of light through the body part to a photodetector. It measures the changing absorbance at each of the wavelengths, allowing it to determine the absorbances due to the pulsing arterial blood alone, excluding venous blood, skin, bone, muscle, fat, and (in most cases) nail polish. [ 1]Less commonly, reflectance pulse oximetry is used as an alternative to transmissive pulse oximetery described above. This method does not require a thin section of the person's body and is therefore well suited to a universal application such as the feet, forehead, and chest, but it also has some limitations. Vasodilation and pooling of venous blood in the head due to compromised venous return to the heart can cause a combination of arterial and venous pulsations in the forehead region and lead to spurious Sp O 2 results. Such conditions occur while undergoing anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation or in patients in the Trendelenburg position. ["

"text": "Pulse Oximetry and Hemoglobin Oxygen Saturation and the Pulse Oximeter Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes. The red blood cells transport oxygen through the circulatory system to the cells and tissues of the body. In the cells, oxygen and glucose support glycolysis, the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The red blood cells are filled with hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying part of the red blood cell. Hemoglobin can also be spelled “haemoglobin.” Each red blood cell contains 250 to 300 million molecules of hemoglobin. A molecule of hemoglobin is made up of one globin protein, with four iron-containing heme groups. Oxygen binds to the four heme groups, which are then considered saturated and are referred to as oxyhemoglobin.3, 4Hemoglobin 5Carbon dioxide is a waste product of glycolysis. While hemoglobin carries some of the carbon dioxide, the majority (70%) combines with the water in the red blood cells to form carbonic acid. Hemoglobin that is saturated with carbon dioxide is referred to as carbamino hemoglobin.6, 7there must be sufficient perfusion to the monitored area."

"text": "Directory: Home | Knowledge Base | Pulse Oximeters |What is Oxygen Saturation (Sp O2)Oxygen saturation is defined as the ratio of oxy-hemoglobin to the total concentration of hemoglobin present in the blood (ie Oxy-hemoglobin + reduced hemoglobin). Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein bound to red blood cells and makes up nearly all the oxygen presence (there is a minute amount dissolved in the plasma). Hemoglobin is responsible for transporting oxygen from lungs to other parts of the body, where the oxygen can be used by other cells. Oxy-hemoglobin (Hb O2) is the bright red hemoglobin that is a combination of hemoglobin and oxygen from the lungs. A hemoglobin molecule can carry a maximum of four oxygen molecules. 1000 hemoglobin molecules can carry a maximum of 4000 oxygen molecules; if they together were carrying 3600 oxygen molecules, then the oxygen saturation level would be (3600/4000)*100 or 90%. Here is an informational video by the New England Journal of Medicine that explains in detail what is oxygen saturation levels or Sp O2 and the technology behind pulse oximetry. When arterial oxy-hemoglobin saturation is measured by an arterial blood gas it is called Sa O2. When arterial oxy-hemoglobin saturation is measured non-invasively by a finger pulse oximeter or handheld pulse oximeter, it is called Sp O2. Methods for measuring oxygen saturation level Pulse Oximeter: A pulse oximeter is a device intended for the non-invasive measurement of arterial blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate."

A normal healthy person should be able to achieve normal blood oxygen saturation levels (Sp O2) of 94% to 99%. For patients with mild respiratory diseases, the Sp O2 should be 90% or above. Supplementary oxygen should be used if Sp O2 level falls below 90%, which is unacceptable for a prolonged period of time. The blood oxygen level and the pulse rate are, to a degree, affiliated with each other but there is no strict direct correlation between the two. For example, a baby, a teenager a young adult and an elderly person in good health should all have a blood oxygen level of 94 or higher but the pulse in a baby can be 115 beats per minute while the other three people can average between 60 to 72 beats per minute. When you consider other variables like diet, and exercise regiment the changes in pulse can be even more dramatic. A good example of such dramatic variations is marathon runners. Marathon runners can bring their pulse to as low as 35 bpm while maintaining a blood oxygen level of 97% or higher. This is due to the great conditioning of their bodies which makes the blood circulation so efficient that their hearts work very little to circulate the same amount of blood compared to non runners Your Blood Oxygen Normal Values are dependent on your health condition, respiratory rate, percentage of oxygen in the air, activities you are performing, and other factors."

The five vital signs to be obtained are respiration, pulse, skin, blood pressure and pupils. Some literature suggests considering pulse oximetry as the sixth vital sign. Baseline refers to the first set obtained on that patient. It is extremely important to cognitively process the baseline values, since trends in the patient's condition, such as improvement, stability or deterioration, are identified using this data. Some vital sign findings may present as abnormal and indicate a significant patient pathology, whereas, other findings that appear to be abnormal are indeed a normal response. Following is a discussion of some of these normal and abnormal findings that may assist you in more accurately interpreting vital sign data obtained from patients. Respiration When assessing respiration, it is important to determine not only respiratory rate, but also tidal volume. Respiratory rate alone does not provide an indication of the adequacy of respiratory status. In order for a patient to be breathing adequately, he must have a respiratory rate that is adequate and an adequate tidal volume."

Robert Remitz Subscribe 2.8KAdd to Share More37,596 views4217Published on Oct 26, 2011A pulse oximeter (saturometer) is a medical device that indirectly monitors the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmograph. It is often attached to a medical monitor so staff can see a patient's oxygenation at all times. Most monitors also display the heart rate. Portable, battery-operated pulse oximeters are also available for home blood-oxygen monitoring. The original oximeter was made by Millikan in the 1940s. [ 1] The precursor to today's modern pulse oximeter was developed in 1972, by Aoyagi at Nihon Kohden using the ratio of red to infrared light absorption of pulsating components at the measuring site. It was commercialized by Biox in 1981. The device did not see wide adoption in the United States until the late 1980s. A blood-oxygen monitor displays the percentage of arterial hemoglobin in the oxyhemoglobin configuration."

When you consider other variables like diet, and exercise regiment the changes in pulse can be even more dramatic. A good example of such dramatic variations is marathon runners. Marathon runners can bring their pulse to as low as 35 bpm while maintaining a blood oxygen level of 97% or higher. This is due to the great conditioning of their bodies which makes the blood circulation so efficient that their hearts work very little to circulate the same amount of blood compared to non runners Your Blood Oxygen Normal Values are dependent on your health condition, respiratory rate, percentage of oxygen in the air, activities you are performing, and other factors."

It monitors the percentage of haemoglobin that is oxygen-saturated. Oxygen saturation should always be above 95%, although in those with long-standing respiratory disease or cyanotic congenital heart disease, it may be lower, corresponding to disease severity. The oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve becomes sharply steep below about 90%, reflecting the more rapid desaturation that occurs with diminishing oxygen partial pressure (Pa O 2 ). [ 1] On most machines the default low oxygen saturation alarm setting is 90%. Pulse oximetry does not provide information on the oxygen content of the blood nor ventilation and thus care is needed in the presence of anaemia and in patients developing respiratory failure due to carbon dioxide retention, for example. Principles of pulse oximetry Oximeters work by the principles of spectrophotometry: the relative absorption of red (absorbed by deoxygenated blood) and infrared (absorbed by oxygenated blood) light of the systolic component of the absorption waveform correlates to arterial blood oxygen saturations. Measurements of relative light absorption are made multiple times every second and these are processed by the machine to give a new reading every 0.5-1 second that averages out the readings over the last three seconds. Two light-emitting diodes, red and infrared, are positioned so that they are opposite their respective detectors through 5-10 mm of tissue. Probes are usually positioned on the fingertip, although earlobes and forehead are sometimes used as alternatives."

KEY WORDS: pulse oximetry, arterial oxygen saturation (Sp O 2 or Sa O 2 ), arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, partial oxygen pressure (Pa O 2 ), partial carbon dioxide pressure (Pa CO 2 ), capnography, oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve Pulse oximetry is a useful tool for assessing oxygen saturation, but it doesn't provide a complete picture of your patient's respiratory status. Understanding what pulse oximetry can and can't do will help you to use this technology wisely. Jump to: Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method of monitoring a patient's pulse rate and arterial oxygen saturation. A pulse oximeter uses a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photodetector to estimate the percentage of total hemoglobin that's saturated (filled) with oxygen molecules, based on the amounts of red and infrared light that pass through the vascular bed. Arterial oxygen saturation is represented by the symbol Sp O 2 when measured by pulse oximetry or Sa O 2 when measured by arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis. For a healthy patient, an Sp O 2 of 97% – 99% is generally considered normal. 1Pulse oximetry is now a part of routine perioperative monitoring, and is widely used to monitor patients in many different settings, including the ED, OR, ICU, PACU, and med/surg units. 2 However, because it doesn't provide any information about a patient's ventilation, relying on pulse oximetry alone could compromise patient safety, particularly in patients who are receiving supplemental oxygen or who are at risk of respiratory depression. 2Yet, a recent study found that only 35% of nurses (and 39% of physicians) in a major medical center knew that pulse oximetry monitored oxygen saturation only and did not reflect changes in ventilation."

It was developed as a way to detect hypoxia (a condition caused by insufficient oxygen). The hemoglobin in your blood bonds to oxygen and carries it through your circulatory system to your body's cells. A pulse oximeter works by emitting an infrared light that shines through your body's tissue to a photosensor on the other side. The infrared light is able to detect the amount of hemoglobin that is saturated with (or carrying) oxygen. The pulse oximeter will display a number that indicates the percent of hemoglobin that is saturated with oxygen. A pulse oximeter reading (denoted by Sp O2) in the high 90s (i.e. 96%-99%) is considered normal. Here's how to read a pulse oximeter.· Clip the pulse oximeter on .

Here we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of pulse oximetry, and how to properly use a pulse oximeter at home. Understanding Pulse Oximetry Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive means of measuring oxygen saturation or the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen in arterial blood. The device clamps onto your finger or toe to measure your oxygen saturation. This can be a useful tool in the management of COPD, especially when you're using supplemental oxygen. Normal oxygen saturation levels range between 95 percent and 100 percent but typically run lower when you have COPD or another chronic lung diseases. Pulse oximetry should not replace, but rather complement, the use of spirometry in the diagnosis and management of chronic respiratory illnesses like COPD. Choosing a Pulse Oximeter The device used for pulse oximetry is called a pulse oximeter. To date, there are a number of finger pulse oximeter monitors available for purchase that you can use in the comfort of your own home.

Oximeters are used medically by patients with asthma, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic obstructive airway diseases (COAD), and other respiratory conditions. Pilots use pulse oximeters to help guard against hypoxia. This blood oxygen tester can also help athletes, such as mountain climbers and walkers, to improve their performance. The main advantages of pulse oximeter over other testing methodologies are cost and speed. The most accurate way to obtain Sp O2 reading is from a laboratory analysis of a blood sample. An oximeter only takes a few seconds to obtain a reading. The accuracy of a pulse oximeter (usually within 1-3%) is sufficient for most situations. The finger tip pulse oximeter contains a dual light source and photo detectors. Typically it uses two LEDs (light-emitting diodes) generating red and infrared lights through a translucent part of the body."

"text": "Normal Pulse Oximetryby M. GIDEON HOYLE Aug. 14, 2017Pulse oximetry is a technique that uses a special device to measure the oxygen-carrying capacity of a component in your red blood cells called hemoglobin. Normal pulse oximetry readings typically indicate oxygen levels near maximum carrying capacity, while abnormal readings may indicate oxygen levels low enough to cause life-threatening, health complications. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Understanding Blood Oxygen Hemoglobin is a blood compound that contains a combination of iron and amino acid chains called polypeptides, according to the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). When you breathe, the iron in hemoglobin gathers oxygen and transports it throughout your bloodstream and body tissues. Roughly 97 percent of the oxygen in your body is transported by hemoglobin, UTMB reports. Understanding Pulse Oximetry A pulse oximeter, formally known as a transcutaneous pulse oximeter, uses light-emitting diodes to pass infrared and red light through your body tissue at any point where a pulse can be found, explains UTMB. Sensors on the oximeter then measure any light not absorbed by your tissue, and the device uses these measurements to calculate how much of your hemoglobin carries oxygen. Typically, an oximetry reading takes place over a series of pulses, or heartbeats. Normal Findings If 97 percent of your hemoglobin contains oxygen, your blood oxygen saturation is at maximum capacity, UTMB reports. Normal results on a pulse oximetry reading range between 96 and 100 percent of this maximum value."

On the other side, a sensor measures what proportion of the light penetrated through the finger and what was absorbed. Different proportions of light penetrate the finger according to the level of saturation of the blood. From this, the oxygen saturation figure is calculated. The pulse rate can likewise be measured and displayed.

This method does not require a thin section of the person's body and is therefore well suited to a universal application such as the feet, forehead, and chest, but it also has some limitations. Vasodilation and pooling of venous blood in the head due to compromised venous return to the heart can cause a combination of arterial and venous pulsations in the forehead region and lead to spurious Sp O 2 results.

"text": "A Guide to Understanding Pulse Flow Settings on Portable Oxygen Concentrators June 25, 2013 By Allison Waters 67 Comments One of the most confusing aspects of portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) is the pulse settings. Are they the same as continuous flow settings? Is there a difference in the setting from one POC to another? I am going to provide a detailed response to these common questions. Be warned! Since this is such important information, this post is longer than usual because I wanted to be sure all the information is in one place. On an oxygen cylinder or home oxygen concentrator, a setting 3 LPM provides 3 liters per minute, or 3,000 milliliters, of actual oxygen output. However, the average breathing rate is 20 breaths per minute, or once every 3 seconds. Therefore, an oxygen user only inhales about 1/3 of the output, or 1,000 m L. The science and math behind an oxygen conserver recognize that 2/3 of the oxygen is wasted, so if it is provided only when the user is inhaling, the oxygen can be conserved. When an oxygen conserver is used on an oxygen cylinder, it simply makes the oxygen last longer; when put into a portable oxygen concentrator (POC), it allows the unit to be smaller and the batteries to last longer."

In its most common (transmissive) application mode, a sensor device is placed on a thin part of the patient's body, usually a fingertip or earlobe, or in the case of an infant, across a foot. The device passes two wavelengths of light through the body part to a photodetector. It measures the changing absorbance at each of the wavelengths, allowing it to determine the absorbances due to the pulsing arterial blood alone, excluding venous blood, skin, bone, muscle, fat, and (in most cases) nail polish. [ 1]Less commonly, reflectance pulse oximetry is used as an alternative to transmissive pulse oximetery described above. This method does not require a thin section of the person's body and is therefore well suited to a universal application such as the feet, forehead, and chest, but it also has some limitations. Vasodilation and pooling of venous blood in the head due to compromised venous return to the heart can cause a combination of arterial and venous pulsations in the forehead region and lead to spurious Sp O 2 results. Such conditions occur while undergoing anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation or in patients in the Trendelenburg position. ["

"text": "\"What is a pulse oximeter? Pulse oximeters are medical devices used to measure the oxygen level (or oxygen saturation) in the blood. Pulse oximeters are considered to be a noninvasive, painless, general indicator of oxygen delivery to the tissues (e.g., finger, earlobe, forehead, toe or nose). Pulse oximeters do not need calibration. How does a pulse oximeter work? Oxygen in the air is breathed into the lungs. The oxygen then passes into the blood where the majority of the oxygen attaches to hemoglobin (a protein located inside the red blood cell) for transport in the bloodstream. The oxygenated blood circulates to the tissues. Pulse oximeter technology utilizes the light absorptive characteristics of hemoglobin and the pulsating nature of blood flow in the arteries to aid in determining the oxygenation status in the body. First, there is a color difference between arterial hemoglobin saturated with oxygen, which is bright red, and venous hemoglobin without oxygen, which is darker."

Martin Administrator Admin1,467Gender: Female Location: Holland, MI26 November 2007 - 03:49 PMDear Dr. Adams, Here's a question I get a lot from patients in our pulmonary rehab program. What's the advantage of using oxygen at night and not during the day? Is it because the breathing sometimes slows down and / or is more shallow during the night and the oxygen levels drop? Here's another oxygen-related question I wonder about. We go by the magic number \"\"88%,\"\" that is, if somebody has an oxygen saturation at 88% or lower on the pulse oximeter, they qualify for supplemental oxygen. My question is this: If they are 'living' at 89% or so much of the time, is that really enough for staying as healthy as possible? I've heard that there are findings telling us that by using this guideline we're letting our patients be \"\"too low.\"\" Thank you! Jane. \"\" It's not all about being sick."

"text": "\"HOME | COMPANY | PRODUCTS | CONTACT US | 281.664.1209Directory: Home | Knowledge Base | Pulse Oximeters |What is Perfusion Index (PI)Perfusion Index or PI is the ratio of the pulsatile blood flow to the non-pulsatile static blood flow in a patient's peripheral tissue, such as finger tip, toe, or ear lobe. Perfusion index is an indication of the pulse strength at the sensor site. The PI's values range from 0.02% for very weak pulse to 20% for extremely strong pulse. The perfusion index varies depending on patients, physiological conditions, and monitoring sites. Because of this variability, each patient should establish his own \"\"normal\"\" perfusion index for a given location and use this for monitoring purposes. Perfusion index is normally monitored with pulse oximeters. PI is also a good indicator of the reliability of the pulse oximeter reading. For most pulse oximeters for general use, the reading is unreliable or unavailable if PI is at or below 0.4%. There are oximeters, such as those from Masimo, designed for extreme low PI. Most people that use an oximeter at home would not need a perfusion index indicator because they are considered to be in general good health."

They are often also referred to as \"\"pulse oximeters\"\" because they also measure and record an individual’s heart rate. A sensor is placed on a finger, toe or ear and uses light to estimate the oxygen saturation in the arterial blood; the sensor is connected by a wire to a monitor, which then displays both the oxygen saturation (O2 sat) and the heart rate. Home oximetry may be used to monitor the O2 sat in the blood of individuals with known or suspected heart disease or many other circulatory or lung disorders."

They are used on almost every hospital patient at least daily, and so are highly prone to transmitting HCAI. A contaminated finger will naturally find its way to the mouth, meaning that contaminated pulse oximeters can easily spread highly contagious orally-ingested pathogens such as Norovirus (vomiting and diarrhoea) and C. difficile. The shape of the pulse oximeter probe presents a cleaning challenge. Existing methods include manual cleaning with alcohol-soaked swabs, but this is not only inconvenient and prone to non-compliance but also ineffective against C. difficile and its spores. The solution The Mantra Medical Pulse oximeter Cleaner will conveniently, rapidly and effectively clean pulse oximeters at the bedside. It is designed to attach to the 'obs trolleys' that accommodate pulse oximeters and other measuring equipment in hospitals, and may co- mount with the blood pressure cuff cleaner to provide a complete cleaning solution. after using the pulse oximeter probe as normal, the healthcare worker will simply clip it to the device, ostensibly as somewhere to store it and keep it safe. Cleaning then takes place 'in the background' without needing any further input, thereby avoiding the behavioural change that provides a barrier to adoption of other cleaning methods.

A photoplethysmograph (PPG) is a plethysmograph that uses optical techniques. A pulse oximeter measures oxygen saturation level (Sp O2) and is also a PPG. It can measure the change in the volume of arterial blood with each pulse beat. This change in blood volume can be detected in peripheral parts of the body such as the fingertip or ear lobe using a technique called photoplethysmography. The pulse oximeter that detects the signal is called a plethysmograph (or 'Pleth' for short). Because of the nature of pulse oximeter, measuring the pressure from a pleth waveform has not been possible. However, the information has shown to be useful in diagnosis and in gauging the severity of illness in newborns. Many doctors use the pulse oximeter's pleth waveform as an early indication for cyclic changes in physiology. If the variability increases, it indicates a change in the intrathoracic/blood volume relationship."

Here we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of pulse oximetry, and how to properly use a pulse oximeter at home. Understanding Pulse Oximetry Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive means of measuring oxygen saturation or the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen in arterial blood. The device clamps onto your finger or toe to measure your oxygen saturation. This can be a useful tool in the management of COPD, especially when you're using supplemental oxygen. Normal oxygen saturation levels range between 95 percent and 100 percent but typically run lower when you have COPD or another chronic lung diseases. Pulse oximetry should not replace, but rather complement, the use of spirometry in the diagnosis and management of chronic respiratory illnesses like COPD. Choosing a Pulse Oximeter The device used for pulse oximetry is called a pulse oximeter. To date, there are a number of finger pulse oximeter monitors available for purchase that you can use in the comfort of your own home. Many are approved as medical devices by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)."

"text": "Normal Oxygen Saturation for Childrenby ERIK ANDREWS Aug. 14, 2017Oxygen saturation is a clinical measurement that determines what percentage of a patient's red blood cells are saturated with oxygen after passing through the lungs. It is a result that reflects not only how well a patient's lungs are working but also how effectively oxygen is being delivered to all parts of the body. In a healthy child breathing room air, the oxygen saturation levels will be between 96 and 98 percent. Falling levels of oxygen saturation are concerning to physicians and may require intervention. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Significance Oxygen saturation is an accurate measurement that reflects multiple aspects of a child's cardiovascular health. Monitoring the percent of red blood cells saturated with oxygen tells a physician how well a child is breathing, how efficiently the oxygen is being distributed to the body and how well oxygen is unloaded from red blood cells at its destination. A disruption in any of these processes will decrease the child's oxygen saturation and can necessitate therapeutic intervention. Function Oxygen saturation sensing in a healthy child breathing room air will reveal a saturation rate between 96 and 98 percent. This is the normal range for a healthy adult as well. A disruption in oxygen metabolism can cause saturation levels to drop below 95 percent, at which point a physician might order intervention."

Robert Remitz Subscribe 2.8KAdd to Share More37,596 views4217Published on Oct 26, 2011A pulse oximeter (saturometer) is a medical device that indirectly monitors the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmograph. It is often attached to a medical monitor so staff can see a patient's oxygenation at all times. Most monitors also display the heart rate. Portable, battery-operated pulse oximeters are also available for home blood-oxygen monitoring. The original oximeter was made by Millikan in the 1940s. [ 1] The precursor to today's modern pulse oximeter was developed in 1972, by Aoyagi at Nihon Kohden using the ratio of red to infrared light absorption of pulsating components at the measuring site. It was commercialized by Biox in 1981. The device did not see wide adoption in the United States until the late 1980s.

"text": "Punctured Lung: Traumatic Pneumothorax Injuries By Matthew Cenzon. May 7th 2016A punctured lung is a type of classification for a pneumothorax, which is the medical definition for a collection of air in the ribcage causing pressure on the lungs, preventing them from expanding. There are several variations of pneumothorax, all of which can be referred to as a collapsed lung. Traumatic Pneumothorax (punctured lung): this occurs due to direct trauma to the chest, like a broken rib, or a penetrating injury from a stab or gunshot. Certain medical procedures that deliberately collapse the lung also fall under this category of pneumothorax. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax: this is when the collapsed lung occurs without any particular cause. This is typically caused by a rupture of a small air sac on the surface of the lung, causing air to leak into the cavity surrounding the lung. Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax: this is used to define when a collapsed lung is caused by a degenerative lung disease like asthma, lung cancer or a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) like chronic bronchitis or emphysema. Who is at Risk? Since a punctured lung is caused by some form of chest trauma, there are certain people who are at a greater risk for suffering this type of injury."

Purpose Chest tube insertions are usually performed as an emergency procedure. Chest tubes are used to treat conditions that can cause the lung to collapse, which occurs because blood or air in the pleural space can hamper the ability of a patient to breath. There are four common conditions than can require surgical chest tube insertion, including:pneumothorax (air leak from the lung into the chest)hemothorax (bleeding into the chest)empyema (lung abscess or pus in the chest)pneumothorax or hemothorax after surgery or from trauma to the chest Demographics There is no available data concerning the demographics of chest tube insertion since this is a common procedure performed in emergency rooms and surgical departments. However, pneumothorax seems to occur most often in males 25–40 years of age. Description The point of insertion in the chest most commonly occurs on the side (lateral thorax), at a line drawn from the armpit (anterior axillary line) to the side (lateral) of the nipple in males, or to the side (about 2 in [5 cm]) above the sternoxiphoid junction (lower junction of the sternum, or chest bone) in females. The skin is sterilized with antiseptic solution covering a wide area, and local anesthesia is administered to minimize discomfort. At the rib chosen for insertion, the skin over the rib is anesthetized with lidocaine (a local chemical anesthetic agent) using a 10-cc syringe and 25-gauge needle. At the rib below the rib chosen for pleural insertion, the tissues, muscles, bone, and lining covering the lung are also anesthetized using a 22-gauge needle. All health-care providers will take precautions to keep the procedure sterile, including the usage of sterile gown, facemask, and eye protection."

Pain in this area is known as xiphoid process pain, xiphoid syndrome, xiphoidynia, or xiphoidalgia. Xiphoidalgia is characterized primarily by tenderness and dull pain in the xiphoid process area. Xiphoid process pain is a subject of controversy. Some physicians claim that it is a rare disorder while others believe it is relatively common, albeit overlooked. While diagnosis is fairly straightforward, the condition is often misdiagnosed because its symptoms are similar to those of other diseases.

"text": "Home > Health Library Right Heart Catheterization See related health topics and resources<< Back to Cardiovascular Tests and Procedures What is right heart catheterization? Your doctor may do a right-heart catheterization (cath) to see how well or poorly your heart is pumping, and to measure the pressures in your heart and lungs. This test is also known as pulmonary artery catheterization. In a right-heart cath, your doctor guides a special catheter (a small, hollow tube) called a pulmonary artery (PA) catheter to the right side of your heart. He or she then passes the tube into your pulmonary artery. This is the main artery that carries blood to your lungs. Your doctor observes blood flow through your heart and measures the pressures inside your heart and lungs. As the catheter advances toward your pulmonary artery, your doctor measures pressures along the way, inside the chambers on the right side of your heart. This includes the right atrium and right ventricle. Your doctor can also take indirect measurements of pressures on the left side of your heart."

Take this from someone who has broken four in the last month. I have done this to myself by the apparently suicidal way that i play the trumpet- that is to say, i tighten the back of my throat. the muscles and veins in the neck contract, and the blood builds up and eventually, the vein will burst. It appears almost like a cut in the back of your throat. Some symptoms include a sharp pain that lingers but decreases, dry mouth, trouble swallowing and occasionally earache.source: Can you break a blood vessel in back of throat?"

"text": "\"Inferior Vena Cava Filter Placement and Removal During Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filter placement, a filtering device is placed within the IVC, a large vein in the abdomen that returns blood from the lower body to the heart. Blood clots in the veins of the legs and pelvis can occasionally travel to the lungs where they may cause a pulmonary embolism or blockage. IVC filters help reduce the risk of pulmonary embolism by trapping large clots and preventing them from reaching the heart and lungs. They have a high rate of success in patients who don’t respond to or cannot be given conventional medical therapy. Your doctor will instruct you on how to prepare and advise you on any changes to your regular medication schedule and whether you should refrain from eating or drinking before your procedure. Tell your doctor if there’s a possibility you are pregnant and discuss any recent illnesses, medical conditions, allergies and medications you’re taking.

Some punctures are just on the surface. Others can be very deep, depending on the source and cause. A puncture wound does not usually result in excessive bleeding. Usually, these wounds close fairly quickly without any intervention. Treatment may be necessary to prevent infection in some wounds. A puncture wound from a cause such as stepping on a nail can become infected because the object that caused the wound may carry bacteria or spores Clostridium spp that cause tetanus into the skin and tissue.

About 85-90% of laryngectomees learn to speak using one of the three mainmethods of speaking described below. About 10% do not communicate by speaking but can usecomputer-based or other methods to communicate. Individuals normally speak by exhaling air from their lung to vibrate their vocal cords. Thesevibration sounds are modified in the mouth by the tongue, lips, and teeth to generate the sounds that create speech. Although the vocal cords that are the source of the vibrating sounds are removed during total laryngectomy, other forms of speech can be created by using a new pathway for air and a different airwaypart to vibrate. Another method is to generate vibration by an artificial source placed on the outside of the throat or mouthand then using the mouth parts to form speech. The method (s) used to speak again depend on the type of surgery. Some people may be limited to a single method, while others may have several choices. Each method has unique characteristics, advantagesand disadvantages."

The test is commonly known as a blood gas analysis or arterial blood gas (ABG) test. Your red blood cells transport oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout your body. These are known as blood gases. As blood passes through your lungs, oxygen flows into the blood while carbon dioxide flows out of the blood into the lungs. The blood gas test can determine how well your lungs are able to move oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the blood. Imbalances in the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and p H levels of your blood can indicate the presence of certain medical conditions.

"text": "Print Overview Bronchoscopy is a procedure that lets doctors look at your lungs and air passages. It's usually performed by a doctor who specializes in lung disorders (a pulmonologist). During bronchoscopy, a thin tube (bronchoscope) is passed through your nose or mouth, down your throat and into your lungs. Bronchoscopy is most commonly performed using a flexible bronchoscope. However, in certain situations, such as if there's a lot of bleeding in your lungs or a large object is stuck in your airway, a rigid bronchoscope may be needed. Common reasons for needing bronchoscopy are persistent cough, infection and something unusual seen on a chest X-ray or other test. Bronchoscopy can also be used to obtain samples of mucus or tissue, or to remove foreign bodies or other blockages from the airways or lungs. Mayo Clinic's approach Why it's done Bronchoscopy is usually done to find the cause of a lung problem. For example, your doctor might refer you for bronchoscopy because you have a persistent cough or an abnormal chest X-ray. In people with lung cancer, a bronchoscope with a built-in ultrasound probe may be used to check the lymph nodes in the chest."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Respiratory System Lungs What commonly causes fluid in the lungs? Flag What commonly causes fluid in the lungs? Answer by Liasdaughter Confidence votes 1.8KFluid accumulation in the lungs occurs due to two reasons: Cardiogenic reasons where the heart fails to pump the blood to the systemic circulation, leading to build up of blood in the pulmonary circulation, which eventually leads to increased hydrostatic pressure and causes the fluids to leak from the capillaries into the lung itself. Non-cardiogenic reasons where severe infections for example, leads to the release of a huge amount of inflammatory agents, leading to large amount of fluids to escape from the capillaries since they increase the capillary permeability causing fluid buildup in the lungs============================================================= Fluid on lungs, or \"\"Pleural effusion\"\" could have several causative factors. Chest X-ray, ultrasound, chest CT, are all useful for your doctor for determining the cause. Thoracentesis, removing/examining some of the fluid is also used. Among the many possible causes are- TB- infections of fungal or parasitic nature- Malignancy- Pulmonary embolism,- rheumatoid arthritis,- abdominal disease (like Pancreatis)- congestive heart failure- liver diseases (like cirrhosis, Nephrotic Syndrome, Hepatic Hydrothorax)- and many others Hepatic Hydrothorax is more common on the right side.

"text": "Print Overview Broken ribs A broken rib is a common injury that occurs when one of the bones in your rib cage breaks or cracks. The most common cause is chest trauma, such as from a fall, motor vehicle accident or impact during contact sports. Many broken ribs are merely cracked. While still painful, cracked ribs aren't as potentially dangerous as ribs that have been broken into separate pieces. A jagged edge of broken bone can damage major blood vessels or internal organs, such as the lung. In most cases, broken ribs usually heal on their own in one or two months. Adequate pain control is important so that you can continue to breathe deeply and avoid lung complications, such as pneumonia. Symptoms The pain associated with a broken rib usually occurs or worsens when you: Take a deep breath Press on the injured area Bend or twist your body When to see a doctor See your doctor if you have a very tender spot in your rib area that occurs after trauma or if you have difficulty breathing or pain with deep breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if you feel pressure, fullness or a squeezing pain in the center of your chest that lasts for more than a few minutes or pain that extends beyond your chest to your shoulder or arm. These symptoms can indicate a heart attack."

Individuals in this position are responsible for finding the best deals on supplies, then buying and selling or distributing those supplies. In most cases, a purchasing analyst will need a bachelor's degree in logistics management or a related field. Some primary duties of this position include researching the market outlook, contacting suppliers, negotiating deals, maintaining supplier reports and monitoring budget. One of the key roles of a purchasing analyst is to research the market outlook. Prior to striking deals with vendors and ordering supplies, it's crucial for an individual to have a thorough understanding of which items are selling and which ones aren't. For example, if he is working for an electronics chain, he might perform research into what types of computers are popular at the moment. Knowing the market outlook should help a purchasing analyst make smart business choices and maximize company revenue. Contacting suppliers is another big part of this job. For a purchasing analyst to find the most affordable supplies and best service, it's important for him to seek out business relationships with top notch suppliers."

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. Once shipments leave a facility, an analyst tracks their delivery to confirm that they reach their destinations in a timely manner."

Consider a company like Gap, which manufactures and sells clothing in its own stores. Operations for Gap would include everything from the manufacturing of Gap clothing, to the shipment of that clothing to Gap's retail stores, to the systems the company uses to track clothing that's sold at regular prices, at sale prices, returned by the customer, and so on. It would also include the fulfillment of orders placed on the company's website, and the customer service staff that helps customers with problems, complaints, or other issues. People in operations work to make sure their employers' businesses run smoothly, effectively, and professionally. This includes everyone from management to assembly line workers, mailroom workers, and the guys loading and unloading trucks in manufacturing and retail company distribution centers. Office managers, purchasing managers, supply chain managers, manufacturing process consultants, brokerage firm back-office employees (who make sure the securities transactions entered into by the firm's traders, salespeople, and brokers are completed in a timely and accurate manner)-all of these are operations professionals. Operations work exists in most companies, but there are some industries that are operations-intensive and thus provide more operations opportunities than other industries. These are manufacturing, transportation, banking, financial services, retail, telecommunications, and health care. If you're the type of person who knows how to get things done and isn't afraid to work outside the spotlight, a career in operations may be for you."

"text": "\"Table of Contents Traffic Analysis Toolbox Volume VI: Definition, Interpretation, and Calculation of Traffic Analysis Tools Measures of Effectiveness4.0 Calculation of MOEs by Traffic Analytical Tools This chapter presents the results of a comprehensive investigation into how commonly used traffic analytical tools define and calculate commonly used MOEs. First the computation methodologies are explained based upon published user guides for each tool and informal correspondence with the software developers. Then the tools are tested on a simple test bed under both free-flow and congested traffic demand conditions. Variations in the reported MOEs are noted.4.1 Description of MOE Computation Methodologies This section describes the methodologies used by the operations analysis tools to compute the MOEs that were selected for further investigation in Chapter 2.4.1.1 HCSThe section describes how the MOEs are computed by the HCS software, Version 5.2, developed by the University of Florida, in 2005. Computation of HCM Level of Service The HCS software is intended to be a faithful implementation of the Highway Capacity Manual. As such, excepting for programming errors, which are corrected as soon as they are found, the HCS software computes the HCM LOS exactly according to the HCM methods. HCS implements the following HCM methods: Signalized Intersections, Unsignalized Intersections, Urban Streets, Freeway Basic, Freeway Weave, Freeway Ramps, Freeway Facilities, two-lane Rural Roads, Multi-lane Rural Highways, and Transit. Computation of Volume Capacity Ratio The HCS software computes capacity per the HCM method. [ Highway Capacity Manual, Transportation Research Board, Washington D. C., 2000.] The HCM defines capacity as; \"\"The maximum sustainable flow rate at which vehicles or persons reasonably can be expected to traverse a point or uniform segment of a lane or roadway during a specified time period under given roadway, geometric, traffic, environmental, and control conditions…\"\" The HCM capacity for each facility type is computed according to the equations below."

"text": "What is HR’s role in developing Corporate Culture? May 8, 2010 Robin Erickson HR Strategy, Learning Operating Model, Talent Strategy“How do you Change Corporate Culture?” is a recent question asked in a Linked In online discussion group that I participate in from time to time with Executives and Leaders from around the world. On average a good post in this group gets between 3 to 5 comments. So when I saw that a particular topic had over 30 comments, I took a deeper look at the discussion thread about Corporate Culture’s and found some interesting comments and themes posted by these leaders: Culture is created and supported by the leaders Culture is based on behaviors in an organization not words or marketing efforts It could be both a positive and a negative for an organization, but always has an impact It doesn’t change easily and is built over time Corporate culture is seen as “how work gets done” in an organization Finally and most interesting, to me, was a lack of clarity around the role and impact of training, HR, and process improvement efforts in changing culture. Why does changing Corporate Culture seem to grab so much attention? Two corporate cultures that will soon be seeing some changes due to Merger & Acquisition (M&A) activity in the last few weeks, will be HP and Palm. HP, ranked number 10 this year in fortune 500 has purchased Palm Inc, the struggling mobile phone company known for its innovative mobile Web OS platform. Most analysts felt that the HP purchase of Palm was a good move for both organizations. They spoke of the positive aspects of the Web OS platform, the need for HP to compete in a market dominated by Apple and Blackberry, and more importantly the opportunity for HP to pick up a more innovative and developer friendly culture."

Weekend Images Inc. / Getty Imagesby Karen Schweitzer Updated August 01, 2017An international business degree, or global business degree as it is sometimes known, is an academic degree with a focus on international business markets. International business is a term used to describe any business transaction (buying or selling) that takes place across international borders. For example, if an American company decided to expand their operations into China, they would be participating in international business since they are conducting commercial transactions across an international border. An international business degree can be earned from a college, university, or business school. What Will I Study in an International Business Degree Program? Students who enroll in an international business degree program will study topics that are directly related to global business. For example, they will learn about the politics, economics, and legal issues associated with doing business on an international scale. Specific topics typically include: Global monetary system Exchange rates International trade Tariffs and duties International organizations Government dynamics Cross border transactions International business ethics Global production Global market dynamics Types of International Business Degrees There are three basic types of international business degrees."

The MBA degree is one of the most prestigious and sought after degrees in the world. Earning an MBA can lead to a higher salary, a position in management, and marketability in an ever-evolving job market. Increased Earnings With an MBAMany people enroll in a Masters in Business Administration program with the hope of earning more money after graduation. Although there is no guarantee that you will make more money, an MBA salary is likely higher. However, the exact amount you earn is very dependent on the job you do and the business school you graduate from. A recent study of MBA salaries from Business Week found that the median base salary for MBA grads is $105,000. Harvard Business School graduates earn an average starting salary of $134,000 while graduates of second-tier schools, such as Arizona State (Carey) or Illinois-Urbana Champaign, earn an average starting salary of $72,000."

"text": "What are 'Non-Sufficient Funds - NSF'Non-sufficient funds (NSF) is the status of a checking account that does not have enough money to cover transactions. The acronym also describes the fee incurred from these checks, and colloquially, NSF checks are known as bounced checks or bad checks. If a bank receives a check written on an account with insufficient funds, the bank can refuse payment and charge the account holder an NSF fee. Next Up Bad Check Check Check Representment Canceled Check BREAKING DOWN 'Non-Sufficient Funds - NSF'Banks charge NSF fees when they return checks for non-sufficient funds. The fees many banks charge for NSF checks are a point of contention between consumers and banks. Consumer advocates allege that since fees are usually a fixed amount, a customer may, in effect, be paying extraordinarily high interest rates for relatively small deficits in their accounts. Alternatively, the bank may honor the check, leaving the account holder with a deficit balance, but in this case, it is not an NSF check but an overdraft, labeled OD. Overdraft Vs. NSF Fees Banks charge NSF fees when they return checks and OD fees when they accept checks which overdraw checking accounts. Imagine, for example, someone has $100 in his checking account, and he initiates an ACH or electronic check payment for a purchase in the amount of $120."

Tina Fineberg for The New York Times Ilona Kaprovsky, a 24-year-old New Yorker who works in finance, said she didn’t initially think she wanted a diamond as the centerpiece of her engagement ring — a lab-grown stone like a white sapphire, or even cubic zirconia, would be just fine. Besides, who would know the difference? But she eventually warmed to the idea when she and her boyfriend, Justin Veach, 28, started to talk about it more seriously. “ During the process of buying the ring, we both were weighing what the value of the ring is,” said Mr. Veach, who is studying at Carnegie Mellon for his master’s in business administration and will probably finish with about $80,000 in loan debt. “ Is it real? Does the diamond matter?”In the end, it mattered, as it does for the many American couples who collectively spend billions on diamond engagement rings each year. In 2012 alone, they spent nearly $11 billion on diamond engagement and wedding jewelry, according to Olya Linde, lead author of Bain & Company’s 2013 Global Diamond Industry Report. At a time when many young people are facing big student debts, a weak job market and rising housing costs, this luxury purchase still appears to be firmly planted on many ring fingers across the country."

Share Flip Pin Email•••By Joshua Kennon Updated March 26, 2018When the credit crisis unfolded, I heard a lot of investors asking the question \"\"What is an investment bank and how does it differ from a regular commercial bank?\"\" Unless you work in finance, the term \"\"investment bank\"\" likely did not present itself in your day-to-day life until the 2008-2009 global meltdown began. What Is the Definition of an Investment Bank? To put it simply, an investment bank is nothing like the corner institution you're used to dealing with to get a business loan or deposit your paycheck. Instead, an investment bank is a special type of financial institution that works primarily in high finance by helping companies access the capital markets (stock market and bond market, for instance) to raise money for expansion or other needs. If Coca-Cola Enterprises wanted to sell $10 billion worth of bonds to build new bottling plants in Asia, an investment bank would help it find buyers for the bonds and handle the paperwork, along with a team of lawyers and accountants. Sometimes, investment banks come up with novel solutions to solve difficult problems. Several decades ago, holding company Berkshire Hathaway had only a single class of stock. Due to the fact that its controlling shareholder, billionaire Warren Buffett, had refused to split the stock, the shares had grown from $8 to $35,400; far out of the reach of the typical investor."

OD cost matrix analysis layer OD cost matrix analysis classes OD cost matrix analysis parameters The OD cost matrix finds and measures the least-cost paths along the network from multiple origins to multiple destinations. When configuring an OD cost matrix analysis, you can specify the number of destinations to find and a maximum distance to search. In the graphic below, the OD cost matrix found the least-cost paths from each origin to the four nearest destinations. The output shape type was set to produce straight lines. Even though the OD cost matrix solver doesn't output lines that follow the network, the values stored in the Lines attribute table reflect the network distance, not the straight-line distance. Tip: The closest facility and OD cost matrix solvers perform very similar analyses; the main difference, however, is in the output and the computation speed. OD cost matrix generates results more quickly but cannot return the true shapes of routes or their driving directions. It is designed to quickly solve large M x N problems and, as a result, does not internally contain the information required to generate route shapes and driving directions. Alternatively, the closest facility solver returns routes and directions but performs the analysis more slowly than the OD cost matrix solver."

Also called rhetorical criticism or pragmatic criticism. Rhetorical analysis may be applied to virtually any text or image —a speech, an essay, an advertisement, a poem, a photograph, a web page, even a bumper sticker. When applied to a literary work, rhetorical analysis regards the work not as an aesthetic object but as an artistically structured instrument for communication. As Edward P. J.

Many systems also show a warning light when driving in conditions where sliding may occur, such as rain. If the light comes on without blinking, it indicates a deactivated system, and the car has no traction control. If the light illuminates in any way, it is a good idea to have it evaluated by a professional."

Post a comment Comments (0) Print This TSB provides information for tire rotation and resetting the “light load” reset switch for 2008 Ram truck 2500 models. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) “LIGHT LOAD” reset switch will allow the driver to switch between the MAX LOAD INFLATION PRESSUE (cold) low pressure warning threshold and the LIGHT LOAD INFLATION PRESSURE (cold) low pressure warning threshold depending on the vehicle’s load condition. The tire and loading information label defines the recommended front and rear cold tire inflation pressures for the vehicle when operating in the MAX load condition. A supplemental tire pressure information label is also included, defining light load tire inflation pressures when operating in the light load condition. When the “LIGHT LOAD” reset switch LED is ON, the TPMS is using the light load inflation pressure (cold) low inflation warning threshold. CAUTION: When performing tire rotation service to this vehicle, tire pressures MUST be adjusted to the specified inflation pressures as stated on the supplemental tire pressure information label located on the rear face of the driver door. After service is completed, the TPMS will need to relearn the location of the sensors. This can be accomplished by driving the vehicle over 15 mph (up to 10 minutes) until the system updates and the TPMS light in the instrument cluster goes off. This must be completed before returning the vehicle to the customer.

"text": "\"Home , Auto Repair Library, Auto Parts, Accessories, Tools, Manuals & Books, Car BLOG, Links, Index Replace Fuel Filter Copyright AA1Car For reliable engine operation and fuel system performance, a clean fuel supply is absolutely essential. That's why replacing the fuel filter is so important. The fuel filter is the fuel system's primary line of defense against dirt, debris and small particles of rust that flake off the inside of the fuel tank. A mesh filter sock on the end of the fuel pickup tube inside the tank helps prevent the big pieces of dirt and rust from entering the fuel line, but it does not keep out smaller particles that can be so troublesome. If not trapped by the filter, such contaminants can plug fuel metering orifices in a carburetor or prevent valves from seating. In fuel injected engines, fuel debris can clog the injector inlet screens and starve the injector for fuel. And if debris gets inside the injector, it can wear or jam the pintle valve and seat. With diesel engines, clean fuel is even more important because of the extremely close tolerances inside the injection pump. Fuel filters on older carbureted engines typically trap particles as small as 70 to 100 microns in size (a micron is a millionth of a meter or 0.000039 inches). The diameter of a human hair is about 60 microns."

The probable cause relates to the EVAP canister purge joint being incorrectly manufactured with a flashing inside that restricts purge joint flow. The corrective action requires inspection of the EVAP canister purge joint and replacement if needed. The replacement purge joint is available as P/N 36166-R40-A01. PROCEDURE1.

By rearranging a quadratic equation, you can end up with an infinite number of ways to express the same thing. Learn about the three main forms of a quadratic and the pros and cons of each. Kinds of Parabolas Any time you throw something into the air, it's going to follow a parabolic path. From throwing your wrapper into the trash to throwing a 50-yard touchdown to launching a bird that seems a little bit angry, we see parabolas all over the place. It makes sense then that we want to be able to graph them because the graphs can help us answer questions, like will my bird hit its target? But as is often the case in math, there is more than one way to go about it. In this case, by simply rearranging the parts of the quadratic equation, we can end up with an infinite number of ways to express the same thing. While most of the ways to write the quadratic equation are redundant and useless, there are three forms that actually have unique uses. These three main forms that we graph parabolas from are called standard form, intercept form and vertex form."

"text": "\"Quadratic Equations An example of a Quadratic Equation: Quadratic Equations make nice curves, like this one: Name The name Quadratic comes from \"\"quad\"\" meaning square, because the variable gets squared (like x 2 ). It is also called an \"\"Equation of Degree2\"\" (because of the \"\"2\"\" on the x)Standard Form The Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation looks like this:a, b and c are known values. a can't be 0.\"\" x \"\" is the variable or unknown (we don't know it yet). Here are some examples:2x 2+ 5x + 3 = 0In this one a=2, b=5 and c=3x 2− 3x = 0This one is a little more tricky: Where is a? Well a=1, as we don't usually write \"\"1x 2 \"\"b = −3And where is c? Well c=0, so is not shown.5x − 3 = 0 Oops! This one is not a quadratic equation: it is missing x 2 (in other words a=0, which means it can't be quadratic)Have a Play With It Play with the \"\" Quadratic Equation Explorer\"\" so you can see:the graph it makes, andthe solutions (called \"\"roots\"\"). Hidden Quadratic Equations!As we saw before, the Standard Form of a Quadratic Equation isax 2+ bx + c = 0But sometimes a quadratic equation doesn't look like that!For example: In disguise In Standard Form a, b and cx 2= 3x − 1Move all terms to left hand sidex 2− 3x + 1 = 0a=1, b=−3, c=12 (w 2− 2w) = 5Expand (undo the brackets ), and move 5 to left2w 2− 4w − 5 = 0a=2, b=−4, c=−5z (z−1) = 3Expand, and move 3 to leftz 2− z − 3 = 0a=1, b=−1, c=−3How To Solve Them?

A quadratic function can be graphed using a table of values. The graph creates a parabola. The parabola contains specific points, the vertex, and up to two zeros or x-intercepts. The zeros are the points where the parabola crosses the x-axis. If the coefficient of the squared term is positive, the parabola opens up. The vertex of this parabola is called the minimum point. If the coefficient of the squared term is negative, the parabola opens down. The vertex of this parabola is called the maximum point. In the previous lesson, you graphed quadratic functions using a table of values."

"text": "\"What is the Axis of Symmetry? Print Email Save Image Credit: thesaurus.maths.org The axis of symmetry or line of symmetry of a two-dimensional figure is a line such that, for each perpendicular constructed, if the perpendicular intersects the figure at a distance 'd' from the axis along the perpendicular, then there exists another intersection of the shape and the perpendicular, at the same distance 'd' from the axis, in the opposite direction along the perpendicular. The other way to assume it is that, if the shape were to be folded in half over the axis, the two halves would be identical: the two halves are each other's mirror image. Thus a square has four axes of symmetry, because there are four different ways to fold it and have the edges all match. A circle has infinitely many axes of symmetry, for the same reason. \"\" Symmetry\"\" is recognition of the matching the parts of a shape. If the letter T is reflected along a vertical axis, it appears the same. However, this is sometimes called “horizontal symmetry”, and sometimes “vertical symmetry”. One can better use a clear-cut formulation, e.g. \"\"T has a vertical symmetry axis.\"\" ( This may also be called a line of symmetry)."

For the family of quadratic functions, y = ax 2+ bx + c, the simplest function of this form is y = x 2. The \"\"Parent\"\" Graph: The simplest parabola is y = x 2, whose graph is shown at the right. The graph passes through the origin (0,0), and is contained in Quadrants I and II. This graph is known as the \"\" Parent Function \"\" for parabolas, or quadratic functions. All other parabolas, or quadratic functions, can be obtained from this graph by one or more transformations. The \"\"Children\"\" Graphs: The \"\"parent\"\" parabola can give birth to a myriad of other parabolic shapes through the process of transformations. Brush off your memories of transformations and let's take a quick look at what is possible.

A solution is a set of one or more values that, when substituted for the variable (s), make the equation true. Solving equations is one of the most important math skills to learn. There are several classes of equations you will encounter in your studies: Single variable equations of degree one such as x+3 = 2x-4 . The goal in solving these equations is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equals sign. What is left on the other side of the equation is the value of the variable. Single variable equations of degree two such as 2x 2 -3x+4 = 0. The quadratic formula is used for these quadratic equations."

"text": "DEFINITION quadratic function (standard form; vertex form)Let $\\,a\\,$, $\\,b\\,$ and $\\,c\\,$ be real numbers, with $\\,a \\ne 0\\,$. A quadratic function is a function that can be written in the form $\\ y = ax^2 + bx + c\\ $; this is called the standard form of the quadratic function. Every quadratic function can also be written in the form $\\ y=a { (x-h)}^2 + k\\ $; this is called the vertex form of the quadratic function. COMMENTS ON THE DEFINITION: What type of term must a quadratic function have? If $\\,a = 0\\,$ in the expression $\\,ax^2 + bx + c\\,$, then the $\\,x^2\\,$ term disappears. Thus, the requirement that $\\,a\\ne 0\\,$ says that a quadratic function must have an $\\,x^2\\,$ term. What other types of terms is a quadratic function allowed to have? There are no restrictions placed on $\\,b\\,$ or $\\,c\\,$ in the definition of quadratic function; they can be real number. In particular, $\\,b\\,$ is allowed to equal zero, which causes the $\\,x\\,$ term to disappear. Thus, a quadratic function may or may not have an $\\,x\\,$ term. Similarly, $\\,c\\,$ is allowed to equal zero, which causes the constant term to disappear."

It doesn’t take long for them to cool off enough so you can eat them, but they’ll still stay warm for a long time. And they don’t get cooler than room temperature. If we drew a graph of the cookie cooling situation, it would look something like this: Notice that the graph is steepest in the beginning and then levels off as time goes on, until the cookies are room temperature.

Let's use for our first example, the equation 2X 2 -5X -7 = 0This is a quadratic equation in one variable. That is to say it is an equation of the form:ax 2 + bx + c = 0With equations of this type, we know that when the \"\"a\"\" term is positive, the graph of the curve will be \"\"concave up\"\" (U-Shaped) and therefore the equation will have a minimum value but no maximum value (okay - technically, the maximum value is infinity).

"text": "\"Quadrilateral Sum Conjecture Explanation: We have seen in the Triangle Sum Conjecture that the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. The Quadrilateral Sum Conjecture tells us the sum of the angles in any convex quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Remember that a polygon is convex if each of its interior angles is less that 180 degree. In other words, the polygon is convex if it does not bend \"\"inwards\"\". The diagram below shows both convex and non-convex quadrilaterals. The precise statement of the conjecture is: Conjecture ( Quadrilateral Sum ): The sum of the measures of the interior angles in any convex quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Proof: The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any quadrilateral can be found by breaking the quadrilateral into two triangles. Since the measure of the interior angles of any triangle equals 180 degrees, each of the two triangles will contribute 180 degrees to the total for the quadrilateral. So the measure of the interior angles of a convex quadrilateral is the same as the sum of the measures of the interior angles of two triangles, or 360 degrees. Question: What goes wrong if the quadrilateral is not convex?"

Type Quadrilateral Edges and vertices 4Symmetry group D 1 (*)Dual polygon Isosceles trapezoid In Euclidean geometry, a kite is a quadrilateral whose four sides can be grouped into two pairs of equal-length sides that are adjacent to each other. In contrast, a parallelogram also has two pairs of equal-length sides, but they are opposite to each other rather than adjacent. Kite quadrilaterals are named for the wind-blown, flying kites, which often have this shape and which are in turn named for a bird. Kites are also known as deltoids, but the word \"\"deltoid\"\" may also refer to a deltoid curve, an unrelated geometric object. A kite, as defined above, may be either convex or concave, but the word \"\"kite\"\" is often restricted to the convex variety. A concave kite is sometimes called a \"\"dart\"\" or \"\"arrowhead\"\", and is a type of pseudotriangle.

Quadrilaterals break down into several categories: simple quadrilaterals are those that do not have any self-crossings (in the manner of the bowtie shape below, for example); complex quadrilaterals do have self-crossings. Examples are shown below. In the class of simple quadrilaterals are concave quadrilaterals (such as the leftmost simple quadrilateral above) and convex quadrilaterals. A concave quadrilateral contains a reflex angle (an angle greater than 180°), whereas all of the angles in a convex quadrilateral are less than 180°. Again, the examples in the diagram above illustrate these characteristics. In our discussion, we will only consider simple convex quadrilaterals--these include such figures as rectangles. In addition to having four sides, quadrilaterals also have four vertices and four interior angles. One particular property of quadrilaterals that we can immediately derive is the total number of degrees in the sum of interior angles. Recall that our study of triangles showed that every triangle has 180° (that is, the measures of the interior angles always sum to 180°)."

The head gasket is a single, or multiple layer, durable material, that is responsible for maintaining a seal between the engine block and cylinder head. It prevents engine oil, engine coolant, and combustion gases from escaping the engine. How does the head gasket work? Most engines are constructed of two major components, the engine cylinder block, and engine cylinder head. These two halves must seal to one another, and act as one piece, or the engine will fail.

Minor impression distortion, in fact, is often major. It is one—if not the single largest—technical killer of profits, relationships, and self-esteem in our profession today. This is the essence of the problem. As such, we must make every effort to understand this problem fully and its costly ramifications. Then we need to take on the team responsibility to eradicate it from our practices and dental laboratories to the maximum extent possible. WHAT DO OUR DENTAL LABORATORIES WANT?"

Facebook Twitter Subscribe Last Updated: Feb 19, 2018GIS Technician Job Skills, Salary and Description While Geographic Information Systems continues to expand in countless fields, companies are hiring GIS technicians to manage their geographic data. Strangely, GIS technician jobs are associated with a lot of ‘grunt work’. For example, GIS technician jobs seems to indicate a lot of digitization, collecting data, creating simple maps and maintaining GIS data. Furthermore, these positions are typically more for entry-level employees, because they don’t often require significant research experience, ability to do advanced programming, or higher education However, GIS technicians are fairly satisfied and are constantly challenged by advances in GIS technology. This means they can grow into disciplines such as cartography, database management, programming and spatial analysis. According to Indeed job trends, GIS technicians are less in demand than GIS developers and managers. Often the case, GIS technicians are similar to analysts and specialists with just a different job title. ("

I would say that overall, Verizon/Sprint has the best (network) service, but Sprint seems to have better roaming capabilities. 4 years ago, I would not hesitate to say Sprint, because they had those reliable Sanyo phones with the antennas. Nowadays though, most phones are no longer made with antennas. Generally speaking,the longer the length of the phone, the longer the internal antenna is, which can aptly receive a bar or two extra in some cases. A flip phone will not have as good reception, unless it has an external antenna, in which case it will have slightly less interference for better reception. Ironically, the cheaper phones tend to have slightly better reception, since they are usually a one piece, and have less circuitry (less interference), but their microphone/speakers are of poorer quality. Sorry, but as you are gathering, there is no real answer- it has become more a game of politics than of reliable service to the cellphone providers. The poorer quality companies will try to lure you with trendier phones, and the better companies will try to get you thinking they are still good, and put you in lifetime contracts paying on average $20 more."

"text": "Making Booth Rental Work In a special focus group, NAILS talked to booth renters and salon owners about how well booth rental works in their salons and how to head off conflict over setting prices, maintaining quality standards, and paying for advertising.by Cyndy Drummey - Also by this author , publisher January 1, 1994 Comments (5)Read This Later The salon owner/nail technician relationship in a booth rental situation resembles the husband/wife relationship: it’s a constant struggle between control and compromise. Nail technicians struggle to defend their independence; salon owners try to create a cohesive workplace. Our focus group discussion revealed that, although the IRS has very strict guidelines defining exactly what a salon owner is and isn’t allowed to do, salons do not follow these guidelines with any consistency. The goal of our focus group was not to determine whether laws are being broken, but to discover how salon professionals make booth rental work. How does a salon owner maintain service and performance standards if she isn’t legally allowed to tell her technicians how to do nails? Who does the IRS go after if taxes are not paid? How are prices determined in a salon setting where everyone is an independent businessperson? How are sanitation procedures enforced? Publisher’s note: In an effort to better understand how booth rental really works in the nail industry, NAILS invited a group of independent contractors and salon owners to discuss booth rental issues openly at a focus group in Detroit, Mich. NAILS editor Cyndy Drummey selected the participants and moderated the discussion. NAILS Magazine wishes to thank OPI Products (North Hollywood, Calif.), who underwrote the cost of this research forum."

The anti-lock braking (ABS) control module is a computer that constantly receives information from the wheel speed sensors, and uses that data to prevent the vehicle from losing stability and traction in case the need arises. How does the ABS control module work? The ABS system is designed to keep the brakes from locking up on one of the wheels while the vehicle is in motion by quickly engaging and disengaging the brakes in rapid succession until the vehicle is out of harm's way. The ABS control module is the brain of this system, and is physically attached to the brake lines to control the amount of pressure that is being applied when the driver depresses the brake pedal. Find a Certified Mechanic Find a high quality auto repair shop or dealer near youx What are the symptoms related to a bad ABS control module?

"text": "Architects, structural engineers and building surveyors – who does what? When you decide to get some building work done, whether it’s a renovation to your existing house, or building a brand new home, there are various professionals that you might need to call on for help. You’ve probably heard of architects, structural engineers and building surveyors, but who does what exactly? And do you need to speak to all of them about every building project? It can seem as if there’s quite a bit of crossover with the roles of an architect, structural engineer and building surveyor, but they will be looking at things from a slightly different angle. In short: Architects approach their work from a primarily aesthetic point of view, focusing on what the finished job will look like. Structural engineers begin by thinking about the strength and stability of the structural elements. Surveyors start from the premise of the value and use of the land. We’ll run through some of the basics here to give you an idea of how all the pieces of the building project puzzle fit together. What does an architect do?"

"text": "Quantity Surveyor jobs (Also known as Chartered Surveyor) Quantity surveyors are responsible for ensuring that building projects meet good legal and quality standards and for making sure clients get good value for money through careful monitoring of the project from start to finish. Quantity surveyors manage the cost of a building project, from the initial design stages through to the building’s completion and sometimes even the costs incurred through maintenance, once the building is up and running. Quantity surveyors work on a range of projects including residential homes, industrial sites, commercial development and transport networks, ensuring the projects meet the required legal and quality standards. Surveyors work in close contact with the client (the person or company buying the building) and the vendor (the person or company selling the building), advising them on legal and financial matters that arise during the project. Salary Newly qualified quantity surveyors should expect to earn between £18,000 and £20,000 a year. With chartered status and significant experience, this can rise to £45,000 with senior surveyors earning as much as £80,000. Responsibilities The responsibilities of a surveyor vary from day to day but most projects include the following stages:carrying out initial ‘feasibility’ studies, in order to assess costs and materials and estimate the amount of time a project will takeensuring that materials to be used during construction match up to environmental guidelinesnegotiating costs and working with vendors to draw up bids for contractsmonitoring the construction of a building project to ensure costs and materials are in line with the initial assessmentupdating the client on the progress of the project, with particular reference to financial mattersadvising the client on any legal or contractual issues that arise during the projectrepresenting the client if and when disputes arisestaying up-to-date on new standards in construction, property and surveyingpreparing and maintaining financial recordspreparing scheduleswriting reportsmonitoring maintenance, demolition and renovation costs of a building once it is up and running Qualifications Quantity surveyors are usually expected to have a degree or an equivalent qualification in a relevant subject such as civil or structural engineering, construction or surveying. To be classed as a qualified surveyor, degrees and other qualifications must be accredited by the RICS (Royal Institution for Chartered Surveyors) or the CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building) so graduates with a non-accredited degree are required to undertake a further postgraduate course in surveying. Many employees offer graduate training schemes, which allow trainees to acquire the necessary accredited qualifications whilst working. For graduates with a degree in construction or engineering there are also distance learning courses available, run by the College of Estate Management, which act as a conversion course to surveying from a relevant field."

It cited the median graduate salary at construction and built environment employers as £27,00. It’s worth noting, however, that only construction/built environment companies only made up 5.5% of the Institute’s membership and that they tend to be the biggest recruiters who want to be seen as having especially good opportunities for students; their salaries might be more on the generous side and not representative of the entire industry. Of more use to graduates when judging salaries, perhaps, is The Hays UK Salary & Recruiting Trends 2017, which compiled data from candidates placed in jobs by recruitment agency Hays in 2016. It found: The typical salary for a graduate quantity surveyor at a consultancy: £23,000 (ranging from £20,000 in Northern Ireland to £27,000 in London)The typical salary for a graduate building surveyor at a consultancy: £22,000 (ranging from £18,500 in Northern Ireland to £27,000 in London)The typical salary for a graduate project manager at a surveying consultancy: £22,000 (ranging from £19,000 in Northern Ireland to £27,000 in London)The typical salary for an architectural assistant, part I: £18,000 (ranging from £16,000 in Northern Ireland, south-west England and Scotland to £21,500 in London and south-east England)The typical salary for a graduate civil engineer: £23,750 (ranging from £21,000 in south-west England to £28,500 in London)The typical salary for a graduate structural engineer: £24,000 (ranging from £22,000 in Wales, north-east England and south-west England to £28,500 in London)The typical salary for a graduate environment or geotechnical engineer: £24,000 (ranging from £22,000 in south-west England and Scotland to £29,500 in London)The typical salary for a junior building services (M&E) engineer at a consultant: £25,000 (ranging from £21,000 in north-east England and Yorkshire and the Humber to £28,000 in London)If some of these figures are lower than the salaries for specific employers listed above, it reflects the fact that agencies work with construction companies of all types and sizes, not just the leading names offering the highest salaries."

What is property depreciation? Just like you claim wear and tear on a car purchased for income-producing purposes, you can also claim the depreciation of your investment property against your taxable income. There are two types of allowances available: depreciation on plant and equipment, and depreciation on building allowance. Plant and equipment refers to items within the building such as ovens, dishwashers, carpet, blinds, etc. Building allowance refers to construction costs of the building itself, such as concrete and brickwork. Both these costs can be offset against your assessable income.2. How do you make a claim for depreciation allowance? In order to make a claim for depreciation you need a report that breaks down the property into different categories. This report is called a depreciation schedule."

And already, the lack of qualified and capable surveying staff has meant that funded projects are being turned down by many companies. Around two in five (43%) surveying firms are currently turning down new business opportunities due to a dearth of skilled workers, with each of them passing up an average of five contracts per year. The RICS predicts that the problem will continue to worsen over the next five years. Greg Marshall ICIOB, who runs Greg Marshall Quantity Surveying, told Construction Manager that he was currently turning down up to five new approaches a week. “ Some clients are quite desperate to find commercial support, it is hindering the growth of their business. ”He added: “The industry doesn’t learn, as a young surveyor in the recession of the early 90s I had just passed my HNC and was called in to the managing surveyor’s office expecting promotion, and was one of the first to be made redundant! Training and investment in apprentices and trainees has always been the first bduget to be cut in this industry and there has been virtually no investment in training over the recession. \"\" I meet plenty of other quantity surveyors my age in their 40s, a few in their 30s but very rarely anyone in the 20s - the industry is storing up major problems as surveying is not the only profession this is happening to. \"\" Greg Marshall ICIOB, Greg Marshall Quantity Surveying“I meet plenty of other quantity surveyors my age in their 40s, a few in their 30s but very rarely anyone in their 20s – the industry is storing up major problems as surveying is not the only profession this is happening to."

"text": "\"Please note: this article was first published in November 2014. New Zealanders love to renovate, and it’s easy to see why. Renovations can transform our homes and create big profits. Spend wisely and you’ll reap the rewards; overcapitalise and you could end up with more mortgage than house. How much should you spend on your renovation? You need to start by considering 3 important factors:1. How much value will your renovation add? For every dollar you spend on your house there will be a return on your investment. Some improvements have a high rate of return, like adding a room. For every dollar you spend turning a three-bedroom home into a four-bedroom home, you’ll usually double your money, says Gary Caulfield, quantity surveyor and general manager of Construction Cost Consultants."

"text": "International System of Units Steel What is the formula to convert steel bar quantities to tonnage?13 Answers James Shaw Answered Apr 29, 2011You want to use an equation of the form: Mass = Density*Volume The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using: V = pi*radius^2*length (where pi ~= 3.1416) And the density of steel is more or less constant, at 7850 kg/m^3 So, being careful of our units (keeping them all metric SI units), we get: M = 7850*pi* (0.008/2)^2*12 = 4.7350 kg So the mass of one 12m steel bar with a diameter of 8mm is ~4.7350 kg. 1000/4.7350 = 211.19 In one metric ton (1000kg), therefore, there would be 211 of the steel bars. An easy to use formula would be: Total mass = Amount*7850*pi*Length* (Diameter/2)^2 Where: pi = 3.1416 Total mass = kg Length = meters Diameter = meters Amount = number of bars116.2k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

"text": "Subdivision's Individual Parcel Survey: $300-$500 Residential Lot Survey: $300-$1,000 Up to 20 Acres: $750-$1,750+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (13)A property or land survey determines the boundary lines and accurate measurements of a specific parcel, lot or acreage. The process typically involves researching official records and doing field work on the property. A land survey may be required or desired when buying or selling property, building a fence or a house addition, subdividing a property, splitting a lot, or obtaining or refinancing a mortgage. Many local building or fence permits require a boundary survey, and many lending institutions require a current detailed land survey to reveal any problems with boundary lines, easements and encroachments. Typical costs: Many surveyors charge $50-$220 or more an hour, depending on the type of work performed and the qualifications of the person doing the work. For example, Homestead Land Surveying [ 1] in California charges $55 an hour for the services of a junior survey technician, $95 an hour for a senior technician, $135 an hour for the principal land surveyor, $150 an hour for a two-person field crew and $220 an hour for a three-person field crew. GJB Engineering [ 2] in Virginia charges $50 an hour for administrative work, $85 an hour for a surveying draftsman, $100 an hour for a technician, $150 an hour for a professional surveyor and $140 an hour for a two-person surveying crew. Total costs depend on the type and complexity of survey. A developer building new houses might have surveys done of the entire development then sell a copy of a specific parcel survey to the buyer of that lot for $300-$500. A typical residential lot survey might cost $300-$1,000 depending on local rates and the size and type of parcel; placing permanent stone or metal boundary markers may be optional at $100-$300 each."

In Britain the symbols are mostly architectural ornaments or found in church roofs and sometimes on ceilings of private homes. In Europe they are found mostly in churches and synagogues. It is also used as a motif in heraldry, jewelry, ornaments, tattoos and other works of art. It has been wrought in many different materials and can be thought of as a puzzle, a topological problem, or a visual challenge, and can be found in stone sculptures, wood carvings, paintings, drawings and metal work. Threefold rotational symmetry Essentially the motif consists of three hares, or rabbits, chasing each other the same way around a circle. There is a threefold rotational symmetry with each of the three ears being shared by two hares. The ears form a triangle that appears at the centre of the circle, where, instead of there being six ears visible, there are only three, even though individually the hares all show two. Occasionally a Four Hares motif is found in some places which is a similar but shows four ears, instead of eight, even though all the hares have two ears, making a square in the center.

They say that Christians are not celebrating Jesus, but are unwittingly worshipping an ancient pagan deity when they participate in such activities as Easter sunrise services. But this is based on several misunderstandings. The New Testament gives no grounds for limiting Christian fellowship and worship on Easter. Let’s examine a few objections that are commonly made against Easter and see whether they have any merit. The Word \"\"Easter\"\"The first issue is the word \"\"Easter\"\" itself.

And since we are at it – why is it called “Easter”? That doesn’t sound anything like Jesus or ressurection. It doesn’t even rhyme. Well, let’s start from the beginning…Timeline First Christians celebrated Easter on the day of Jewish holiday Passover. In the year 325 A. D. emperor Constantine I convened the council in Nicaea (today İznik in Turkey) where early Christian dignitaries decided that from then on the Easter will be celebrated on first Sunday after the full moon in spring (i.e. after spring solstice). After this, Constantine sent a letter to all Church fathers who were not present at council explaining that this decision was neccessary because “… it is our duty not to have anything in common with the murderers of our Lord”."

The \"\" shafan \"\" in Hebrew has symbolic meaning. Although rabbits were a non- kosher animal in the Bible, positive symbolic connotations were sometimes noted, as for lions and eagles. 16th century German scholar Rabbi Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi, saw the rabbits as a symbol of the Diaspora. In any case, a three hares motif was a prominent part of many Synagogues.

They sometimes are incorrectly called radiation technicians or radiation therapy technicians. These terms are limited to the technician that actually operates the radiation machines. While radiation therapists may operate radiation equipment, they also interpret radiation prescriptions, develop radiation therapy treatment plans and then implement them for cancer patients. A radiation therapist is an allied health professional. Unlike doctors, these health careers don’t require a medical degree. Still, allied health care careers are an integral part of any well functioning healthcare system. Kinesiotherapists, midwives and optometrists are all considered allied health care professionals. Other fields include medical physics, social work and rehabilitation counseling."

Posted in Degrees, Health| 0 Comments Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Twitter If you’re interested in entering the medical field, consider earning a radiology degree. Radiology is the study of using imaging technology to identify disease and diagnose and treat patients. Many people often associate radiology with cancer, because some cancer patients undergo radiation treatments; but x-rays are also included in the field of radiology, often mixed with specific types of body scanning techniques. Applying Techniques of Radiology There are various types of medical machinery that radiologists may use on a daily basis. These machines aid in a doctor’s ability to diagnose something as basic as a broken bone or complex as a severe case of epilepsy. Below is a list of some techniques studied in radiology. Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) – use of x-rays and computer mathematics to observe a specific part of the human body, often using radiocontrast agents via intravenous to produce contrast in the imaging; used to diagnose life-threatening conditions such as appendicitis and cerebral hemorrhage; scans called CT or CAT scans Fluoroscopy – use of x-ray machines to produce a series of images per second as a singular diagnostic test or used in a series of diagnostic tests; used in various procedures like cardiac catheterization and inserting intravenous catheters Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – use of magnetic fields and radio signals to observe body tissue in order to identify and diagnose a patient; often used specifically for brain or spine scans Ultrasonography – use of ultrasound to observe soft tissue in the human body; safer than many other forms of radiology in that it does not use ionization; most commonly used to observe the health and development progress of a fetus during a woman’s pregnancy How to Get a Degree in Radiology There are many higher education facilities across the world that offer radiology programs, from earning your associates degree all the way up to your doctoral degree in radiology. In this section you will find three schools that offer particularly outstanding medical programs, including the field of radiology. Drexel University provides its students with the opportunity to take advantage of an associates degree program in radiologic technology."

The basic premise is that physical therapists must be able to identify signs and symptoms of systemic origin or associated with medical conditions that can mimic neuromuscular or musculoskeletal (neuromusculoskeletal [NMS]) impairment in these areas. In the screening process, therapists will watch for yellow (caution) or red (warning) flags to direct them. Clinicians rely on special questions to ask men and women with significant risk factors, significant past medical history, suspicious clinical presentation, or associated signs and symptoms. With a careful interview and the right screening questions, the therapist can identify clues suggestive of a problem outside the scope of a physical therapist’s practice that may require medical referral. Specific tests to screen for an underlying infectious or inflammatory source of pelvic or abdominal pain are also presented with a suggested order of testing. When dealing with painful symptoms of the sacral and pelvic areas, the therapist may need to ask questions about sexual history or sexual practices. The therapist must remain aware of facial expressions, body language, and verbal remarks in response to a client’s answers to these questions. The therapist must be prepared to respond in a professional and responsible way if a man or woman with pelvic or sacral pain reports that he or she has been the victim of repeated violent sexual acts, or if a client admits to physical or emotional assault. More about the client interview, the screening interview, and screening for assault and domestic (intimate partner) violence is included in Chapter 2 (see also Appendices B-3 and B-32)."

I certainly agreed with him while I sat on full plane in New Hampshire for an hour waiting for clearance on my way home from visiting our children and new grandbaby. Flying definitely isn’t fun anymore for me because I have lymphedema. No one explained it to me at the time, but I was at double risk for this condition that causes swelling because I had 24 lymph nodes removed when I had my mastectomy, and I had extensive radiation to my chest and lymph nodes. Sure enough about a year after my cancer treatment ended, one day I noticed that all the creases in my right wrist were gone. Wow Did I gain weight that fast? Nope, the creases were still there on the left wrist. The surgeon prescribed a compression sleeve to control the swelling. The sleeve was uncomfortable and didn’t help much, but I did get a little better. The next time I saw him, my surgeon told me about a new therapist on the other side of the city who specialized in lymphedema."

A radiation therapist is an Allied Health Professional who uses ionising radiation to treat disease, usually cancer. A radiation therapist is also responsible for collecting relevant patient information and using this information to plan a patient’s treatment. Sometimes a radiation therapist is called a therapeutic radiographer. A radiation therapist will work under the guidance of a Radiation Oncologist, in a team of health professionals who care for and treat cancer patients. They are usually assigned to work on a rotating basis in one of three main areas: simulation, planning and treatment. Simulation involves the gathering of all relevant data to plan and treat the patient. The radiation therapist will read through the patient’s notes and look at any tests or radiographic scans such as x-rays, CT and MRI the patient may have had, to determine where the tumour is located. When the patient arrives, the radiation therapist will explain the process to the patient and answer any questions.

Radiation oncology is a specialty of \"\"procedures\"\" - but most of them are done outside of the operating room, and would seem much less interesting to someone not actually in our specialty. I had spent my first five years after residency in academics - as an Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology in the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where I was the director of the residency training program. I have been in private practice for the past 25 years, but am involved in clinical research as the Principal Investigator (for Oklahoma City) for the Proton Collaborative Group - an international organization dedicated to the advancement of the science of proton therapy and have authored or co-authored over a dozen papers in the last few years which have been published in peer reviewed journals. A radiation oncologist does a five year residency after medical school, often followed by a fellowship - training in an area of subspecialization, like pediatric radiation oncology, or proton radiation therapy. Many radiation oncologists had done residencies in other areas like medical oncology or surgery before doing their radiation oncology residency. There are three branches of oncology - surgical, medical and radiation oncology. Each specialist has a specific modality they use in treating cancer."

"text": "Radiation Therapist What Does a Radiation Therapist Do? Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy radiation to target and treat cancer. Radiation therapists work with the radiation technology used in hospitals, cancer centers, and other health care facilities. This technology is not limited to only equipment that treats disease, but also includes diagnostic radiation equipment as well, such as fluoroscopy, CT scanning machines, and x-ray films, according to the Mayo School of Health Sciences. These diagnostic readings help the radiation oncology team, which the radiation therapists work under, to develop a treatment strategy. Radiation therapy can be used alone or as part of a combination treatment with chemotherapy or surgery. Radiation therapists follow the directions of the oncology team in utilizing the equipment for treatment. They are also responsible for the patientís comfort during treatment, carefully monitoring the patient’s state for the entire duration of radiation treatments. In addition, therapists keep detailed records of each patient’s treatment regime and results so that the oncology team may best assess how the treatment is progressing. What Is the Employment and Salary Outlook for a Radiation Therapist?"

"text": "How Fan Clutches Work Your engine will overheat if not for the fan clutch A fan clutch is attached to the front of an engine on rear wheel drive cars and trucks only. Bolted to the water pump between the water pump pulley and flange the clutch fan turns at engine speed and is driven by the serpentine belt. This important part of the cooling system is used to pull air though the radiator when the car is stopped or moving below 35 MPH. The fan clutch is design with either an electronic controlled activation device or a temperature sensitive spring at the front of the clutch to tell the clutch when to turn on and engage to the input shaft. When the clutch engages the fan blade starts to operate pulling air though the radiator to cool the engine down. Most fan clutches are filled with silicone grease which will leak out when the fan clutch goes bad. Because the fan clutch is not used when the engine is cool it will disengage which helps increase gas mileage and engine performance. A main housing, input shaft, input shaft bearings and a clutch shoe is used to make up the fan clutch which then bolts to the fan blade and water pump. A cooling fan can turn either clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the manufacturers design. SPONSORED LINKSOne of the most common problems with a fan clutch is when the internal clutch stops working or wears out allowing the fan to freewheel which will cause the engine to overheat."

The radiator fan clutch is an important, but often overlooked part of your vehicle’s cooling system. Most automobiles have either electric cooling fans, or a fan mechanically driven off the front of the engine to help air flow through the radiator. A radiator fan clutch is found on the fans that run off of the engine. This system is used primarily in trucks, SUVs, and rear-wheel drive cars where the engine is mounted longitudinally. In these cases, a fan driven off of the front of the engine can blow air onto the radiator to cool it. In these engines, the radiator cooling fan is attached to the water pump by the radiator fan clutch. In some systems, known as non-thermal fan clutches, when the water pump spins, the cooling fan spins. So these types of fan clutches react to speed. In the more sophisticated thermal fan clutch there is a thermostatic spring that controls fluid flow to engage and disengage the fan clutch from the water pump."

By John Bellah An engine can overheat for a multitude of reasons. Some reasons are ridiculously simple while others can be complex, requiring major repairs or even complete replacement of the engine block or cylinder heads. In any event, overheating problems need to be immediately tracked down and corrected to avoid major repairs. Combustion temperatures in an internal-combustion engine can exceed 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which can quickly melt vital components and cause catastrophic engine damage if the heat is not removed. Crankcase temperatures in excess of 250 degrees will cause engine oil to break down into a varnish and eventually cease lubrication. Remember, engine oil has a part in cooling the engine. Some engines are air-cooled, such as the early Volkswagens, Porsche and that fine American icon, the Corvair. Most other engines are liquid-cooled. For purposes of this article, we’ll discuss liquid-cooled engines."

Internal Engine Overheating This problem is usually caused by rust, scales, or corrosion formation on the water jacket side of the cylinder wall. Rust, dirt, or corrosion particles can deposit in the water jackets. This can act like thermal insulators and slow down the heat flow so that an overheating of the combustion chamber, pistons, rings, and/or valves may take place while the coolant is at normal temperatures. However, usually rust and scale particles break loose and travel with the coolant until they are caught in the radiator and plug the tubes. This causes the coolant as well as the engine to overheat."

"text": "How a Fan Clutch Works Within a vehicle’s cooling system is a device known as the fan clutch. It is created to make the air flow through the car’s radiator if the vehicle stops or is running at slower speed. The flow of the air will bring the car’s coolant heat and is conducted by the engine’s radiator. This automatic device will partially unfasten from the engine’s radiator cooling fan when the car’s engine is cool or at its regular operating temperature. The fan clutch is located fronting the water pump. A belt and pulley drives it through a connection to the engine’s crankshaft, which is also a power-saving mechanism as the engine does not fully engage the fan. However, when the temperature of the engine becomes warmer than the clutch, the fan will be start to work for the maintenance of the engine’s cool temperature. A fan clutch is a viscous material mixed with a bi-metallic sensory system that is comparable to that in a thermostat. The viscosity of the fan clutch allows internal friction to occur by moving the molecules against one another thereby causing the fluid to defy flow. The bi-metallic sensory system is a band used in altering temperature change to be mechanically dislodged and is made of iron and copper layers."

"text": "Radiator fans: mechanical and electric car coolingby Daniel Stern (part 5 of a series)The fan moves air across the radiator (and A/C condenser, transmission fluid cooler, power steering fluid cooler…) when the car’s not moving fast enough for the natural airflow to cool it. Once you’re under way at a reasonable speed, the car’s forward motion pushes enough air across the radiator without the fan. Still, in most older cars, the fan was always running when the engine was on, because it was spun by a simple belt-and-pulley system. Engine-driven fans come in three types: solid, clutch, and flex. Solid fans A solid fan is the most basic type: four to seven metal or plastic blades, criss-crossed around a central hub, bolted onto the water pump pulley. The speed of the pulley, driven by a fan belt, is the speed of the fan; when the engine runs faster, the fan runs faster. When set up correctly, it pulls enough air across the radiator to keep the engine cool (and the air conditioner working, if the car’s equipped). Its simplicity means this kind of fan is the least likely to break, but it is seldom optimal. It runs whenever the engine’s running, so it delays engine warmup; and it’s also spinning (and making noise, and costing power and fuel) unnecessarily when the car’s moving down the road fast enough to ram plenty of air through the radiator. For various reasons related to airflow, solid fans use much more power and fuel in dyno tests than when the car is actually being run and wind is rushing past the blades."

Each time your engine gets too hot, this clutch fully engages your fan. This allows the fan to blow the right amount of air onto your radiator for maximum cooling. Once the operating temperature of the engine goes down or once the engine starts operating at a normal temperature, this clutch partially disengages your fan to save more power. While this clutch may not be the heart of your engine cooling assembly, it does play a crucial role in keeping your engine temperature stable. Fan clutches may be generally reliable, but they do fail because of the heat they are subjected to. If it breaks, the operation of your cooling assembly becomes compromised, and your engine becomes prone to overheating. Your air-conditioning system's performance may also suffer. That's why you need to replace a broken clutch immediately."

RADIATOR CAP: The cooling system of an engine is designed as a sealed system with the engine coolant held under pressure. When under pressure, water and engine coolant boil at a higher temperature. As your coolant and water increase in temperature and approach the boiling point, the state of the liquid begins to change to a gas, seen as steam. A gas is much less efficient in cooling your engine than a liquid. So increasing the pressure increases the boiling point, allowing the coolant and water to do a much better job at removing heat. Keep in mind that internally coolant running through the channels within the engine will come on contact with metal that is well above 210 ° F so preventing the coolant from boiling is essential. By increasing the pressure, you are increasing the boiling point and the coolant remains in a state of liquid rather than converting to a gas. Heated coolant also expands so a closed loop system will require coolant to be held in rather than boiled out. A closed loop system will also need an overflow tank which is reclaimed upon cooling of the system."

Many of these parts can be ordered online in advance at a great savings. This is also a good time to check (or at least look at) the drivers side coil pack. This coil pack is buried in the engine and is subject to heavy deterioration and a bitch to get to later. When in doubt, replace it. The biggest tip I can give you is to first read all the steps and look at the diagrams below below before you start."

A radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury by using medical imaging technologies, such as MRI and CT. Radiologists also treat diseases, such as cancer or heart disease, by means of radiation or minimally invasive, image-guided surgery. Radiologists are often able to see problems early by interpreting the results of your imaging study and can provide an accurate diagnosis to your referring physician. Generally, a radiologist: Acts as an expert imaging consultant to your referring physician Directs radiology technologists (the specialists who operate the equipment) to ensure quality exams Helps determine the appropriate imaging exam for your needs Recommends further exams or other next steps in your treatment Reviews and interprets the images from your exam Provides your physician with a detailed report of your exam What type of education/training does a radiologist receive?

"text": "Radiologist Salaryby Tanja Z | 7 comments What is a Radiologist A radiologist is a specialized physician who uses diagnostic imaging tests and interventional procedures that involve the use of X-ray, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging equipment to diagnose and treat diseases and other assorted bodily issues. This is done through a variety of imaging technologies such as X-Ray radiography, CT (computed tomography), PET (positron emission tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and ultrasound. A radiologic technologist (or radiographer) performs the imaging while the radiologist interprets the images and use them to aid other physicians. Read more: Radiologist Job Description Where do Radiologists Work The majority of radiologists work in public or private hospitals, outpatient centers and private radiology practices, however digital advancements have allowed them to work in a variety of settings, provided they have access to the Internet and a high-resolution screen. They generally have limited patient contact, instead analyzing and interpreting images to formulate possible diagnoses. Work Schedule The typical work schedule for a radiologist runs from 8:00am to 5:00pm, though this varies based on the practice and specialties. They will have a list of cases to perform through the day, and will need to clear it before the day is finished. Often, a radiologist will work on several different types of cases, depending on the needs of the practice; this requires flexibility, and gives a great variety to the job. Additionally, a radiologist will occasionally be required to be on call. Mean Annual Radiologist Salary The average annual radiologist salary is $379,790."

"text": "March 10, 2018 By Steven Halls BIRADSBIRADS or ‘BI-RADS stands for Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System and was established by the American College of Radiology. BI-RADS is a scheme for putting the findings from mammogram screening (for breast cancer diagnosis) into a small number of well-defined categories. Although BIRADS started out for use with breast screening mammography, it was later adapted for use with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and breast ultrasound (US) as well. BIRADS is something that mainly benefits the radiologists who report mammogram (and breast MRI and US) findings. It doesn’t do anything directly useful for patients or for the doctors who referred a patient for breast imaging. There is some updated information on BI-RADS and all aspects of breast screening on our brand new website HERE. This post concentrates only on BI-RADS. How does BIRADS benefit radiologists? The benefit of BI-RADS to radiologists is that it forces them to think about which category their findings will fit into and when they assign each case a category it then becomes possible to calculate accuracy statistics. The accuracy statistics are generally calculated once a year and they are important in quality assurance, that is they tell the radiologist whether they are doing a good job or not."

It is primarily used as a supplemental tool to breast screening with mammography or ultrasound. It may be used to screen women at high risk for breast cancer, evaluate the extent of cancer following diagnosis, or further evaluate abnormalities seen on mammography. Breast MRI does not use ionizing radiation, and it is the best method for determining whether silicone breast implants have ruptured. Tell your doctor about any health problems, recent surgeries or allergies and whether there's a possibility you are pregnant.

Four years of college are followed by four more of medical school (some universities offer combined bachelor's and medical degrees in six year programs that shave off two years). After graduating from medical school, radiologists spend another five years in a residency program. Radiologists must pass several tests along the way, including the MCATS from college into medical school, and exams administered by the National Boards or other testing agency from medical school into residency. To be board certified in radiology, candidates must complete an accepted program and pass both written and oral exams. The multiple-choice written test is a daylong ordeal that covers all aspects of radiology, radiation physics, and safety. The oral exams are even more rigorous. Candidates meet with professors and interpret films under their scrutiny. Each of the 6–8 sections of the exam takes about 1/2 hour."

Your Radiologist Your radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disease and injury through the use of medical imaging techniques such as x-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET), fusion imaging, and ultrasound. Because some of these imaging techniques involve the use of radiation, adequate training in and understanding of radiation safety and protection is important. Your radiologist has graduated from an accredited medical school, passed a licensing examination, and completed a residency of at least four years of unique postgraduate medical education in, among other topics: Radiation safety/protection Radiation effects on the human body Appropriate performance and interpretation of quality radiologic and medical imaging examinations The majority of radiologists also complete a fellowship — one to two additional years of specialized training in a particular subspecialty of radiology, such as breast imaging, cardiovascular radiology or nuclear medicine. Your Radiologist Plays a Key Role in Your Healthcare By: Acting as an expert consultant to your referring physician (the doctor who sent you to the radiology department or clinic for testing) by aiding him or her in choosing the proper examination, interpreting the resulting medical images, and using test results to direct your care. Treating diseases by means of radiation (radiation oncology) or minimally invasive, image-guided therapeutic intervention (interventional radiology). Correlating medical image findings with other examinations and tests. Recommending further appropriate examinations or treatments when necessary and conferring with referring physicians. Directing radiologic technologists (personnel who operate the equipment) in the proper performance of quality exams. Your Radiologist Has the Right Training, Knowledge, and Experience When your referring doctors tell you they have reviewed your studies, what they usually mean is that they have reviewed the radiology report or gone over the study with your radiologist."

Answer by Ejfeldmann Confidence votes 23It takes a long time to become a radiologist- 4 years of undergraduate, 4 years of medical school, 1 year internship, 4 years of radiology residency and 1-2 years of sub-specialty fellowship training. Average starting radiology salaries after all of this is quite variable and highly dependent on the market factors (supply and demand) and location. In general academic radiologists get paid less than private practice radiologists. Also, in general, undesirable locations pay more than desirable ones. Average reported salaries from 2006 ACR data are 410K for non- interventional and 440K for interventional- but of course this includes ALL radiologists both senior and junior as well as private and academic.

It is important to remember that while the CMS guidelines for independent diagnostic testing facilities (IDTFs) and physician offices differ from the hospital guidelines, many private payers use one set of guidelines, regardless of the place of service. This article will focus on the CMS and private payers in a broad sense, but individual payer requirements for orders vary significantly. It is important for your process to incorporate a method for following your individual payer guidelines.

A radiologist is a medical doctor that uses technology, computers, medical imaging and medical equipment like MRI, computed tomography (CT Scans), and ultrasound to assist other doctors in figuring out issues related to their patients' medical conditions. Radiological exams are absolute necessities in the medical evaluation of any patient and the radiologist is the one that interprets these after ensuring the are made to the highest levels of quality and standards. All radiologists are well trained in the expert use of the various radiological modalities and equipment. These include MRI (magnetic Resonance Imaging), ultrasound (Diagnostic sonography), interventional radiology, fluoroscopy, digital radiography, angiography, nuclear medicine, mammography, and computed tomography. In addition, radiologists must stay up to date on all advances in the worlds of radiology and medical imaging and thus regularly go through workshops and conferences to master all that is developing. The radiologist performs many procedures as part of the interventional radiology doctrine. Examples include drainage of an abscess using ultrasound or CT Scan, stopping a bleed by blocking the vessel that is bleeding, extracting urinary stones and unclogging the urinary system, and treating aneurysms in the brain. The interventional radiologist helps treat peripheral vascular disease and can through angiography reopen any blocked artery or dissolve a clot in a vein. The radiologist also plays a major role in the diagnosis and follow up of various cancers."

C., Cicero wrote,\"\" In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men. \"\" One of the most important ways that modern medical doctors “ give health to men ” is through the use of medical imaging technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of injury, illness and disease. According to the most recent study done by the U. S. National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, almost 400 million diagnostic and interventional radiological procedures were performed in the United States in the year 2006. There is no doubt the number has increased significantly in subsequent years; thus making radiology one of the most important career specialties in the medical field. What is a Radiologist? A radiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in using medical imaging technologies to diagnose and promote healing in patients in one of the following categories: Interventional Radiology and Diagnostic Radiology Diagnostic Radiology Radiation Oncology Medical Physics Interventional Radiology and Diagnostic Radiology The American Board of Interventional Radiology defines an Interventional Radiologist (IR) as one who utilizes highly specialized imaging techniques and procedures which are minimally invasive as well as peri-procedural patient care to treat both benign and malignant masses located in the abdomen, pelvis, extremities and thorax (not including the heart). Notably, Interventional Radiologists are considered experts in the field of Vascular Disease. An IR is a physician who is Board Certified by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) and has received extensive training in vascular diseases; how to perform diagnostic techniques, affect treatments and manage various conditions involving vessels which conduct and circulate fluids. A few of the therapies and methods used by Interventional Radiologists include: Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A technique which is image-guided and utilizes heat to destroy cancer cells.

An ultrasound is carried out by a trained health professional (sonographer, radiologist or sonologist) using a smooth, hand-held device called a transducer that they move across the body with a sliding and rotating action. The transducer transmits the high-frequency sound waves into your body. Different sound waves are reflected from different soft tissue, structures or parts in the body in different ways. These sound waves are converted to electrical impulses that produce a moving image displayed on a screen. An ultrasound has many advantages. It is painless and does not involve radiation, which means it is very safe. There are no injections unless your doctor has specifically requested one."

Exam results allow your physician to determine whether your child’s condition requires no therapy, medication, or surgery. Tell your doctor about your child’s recent illnesses, medical conditions, medications and allergies, especially to contrast material. Your child should wear loose, comfortable clothing and may be asked to wear a gown. Little to no special preparation is required for this procedure and sedation is rarely needed. However, it’s best to explain to your child what will happen during the exam so there will be no confusion about what is expected. What is a Voiding Cystourethrogram? What are some common uses of the procedure? How should we prepare for a voiding cystourethrogram? What does the equipment look like?"

"text": "The confusion about breast density By Michele Mc Dermott, MD January 2, 2015Since the passage of Henda’s Law, thousands of women across Texas have received notification from their doctor’s office about “dense breast tissue” possibly impeding the results of their mammogram. The notifications have caused confusion and concern for many women. Certified Menopause Specialist with The Austin Diagnostic Clinic (ADC) Michele Mc Dermott, MD and Breast Imager with Austin Radiological Association (ARA) Catherine Young, JD, MD worked together to provide this comprehensive question and answer guide for women concerned about breast density, mammograms and what it all means. Michele Mc Dermott, MD, ADC Certified Menopause Specialist Catherine Young, MD, ARA Breast Imager What is Henda’s Law? Henda’s Law is a bill that was passed by the Texas House and Senate in 2011 that was named after Henda Salmeron, a woman who found a lump in her breast that had not been detected on her mammogram. The lump turned out to be a large malignancy in her breast, missed because Henda had dense breast tissue. Henda’s Law requires that mammography providers notify all women with dense breast tissue that the accuracy of their mammograms is less than that of women with lower breast density, and that they may benefit from “supplemental screening” in addition to their annual mammogram. www.texashealth.org/ hendas – law The Austin Diagnostic Clinic Women’s Imaging Center sends a letter to inform a woman of her mammogram result. The letter includes a comment to inform the woman if she is found to have dense breast tissue. How common is having dense breasts?40% of women have dense breast tissue and 10% of women have extremely dense breasts."

"text": "What does a radiologist do? A radiologist is a medical doctor that uses technology, computers, medical imaging and medical equipment like MRI, computed tomography (CT Scans), and ultrasound to assist other doctors in figuring out issues related to their patients' medical conditions. Radiological exams are absolute necessities in the medical evaluation of any patient and the radiologist is the one that interprets these after ensuring the are made to the highest levels of quality and standards. All radiologists are well trained in the expert use of the various radiological modalities and equipment. These include MRI (magnetic Resonance Imaging), ultrasound (Diagnostic sonography), interventional radiology, fluoroscopy, digital radiography, angiography, nuclear medicine, mammography, and computed tomography. In addition, radiologists must stay up to date on all advances in the worlds of radiology and medical imaging and thus regularly go through workshops and conferences to master all that is developing. The radiologist performs many procedures as part of the interventional radiology doctrine. Examples include drainage of an abscess using ultrasound or CT Scan, stopping a bleed by blocking the vessel that is bleeding, extracting urinary stones and unclogging the urinary system, and treating aneurysms in the brain. The interventional radiologist helps treat peripheral vascular disease and can through angiography reopen any blocked artery or dissolve a clot in a vein. The radiologist also plays a major role in the diagnosis and follow up of various cancers."

If anything curious shows on mammogram, usually appearing as a ‘ shadow ‘ of some kind, the next step is probably an ultrasound. Medics will also perform a careful clinical exam. Your radiologist may request a breast biopsy at the mammogram stage. However, sometimes a radiologist will delay the request for a biopsy until ultrasound confirms a mass. Also, specialists may request a breast biopsy if the mammogram shows mass and the palpable features are suggestive of a mass. What do radiologists do when mammogram shows mass? Next Step after Mammogram shows Mass So, there are typical steps that radiologists usually recommend when a mammogram shows a possible ‘mass’. The radiologist might arrange for magnified mammogram views to look for microcalcifications . Alternatively the radiologist might arrange for a breast ultrasound to see if ‘the mass’ is actually a cyst, and not a solid mass."

"text": "Contrast Medium: Using Gadolinium or Iodine in Patients with Kidney Problems Health professional information Author: Prof Stacy Goergen*What is contrast medium? Contrast media (sometimes called contrast agents or dye) are chemical substances used in medical X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), angiography, and occasionally ultrasound imaging. Contrast media enhance and improve the quality of images (or pictures), so that the radiologist (a specialist doctor trained to examine the images and provide a written report to the patient’s own doctor or specialist) can more accurately report on how your body is working and whether there is any disease or abnormality present. The radiologist carrying out the procedure is responsible for deciding if contrast medium is needed and which contrast medium will provide the best images. This decision will be based on the information provided to the radiologist by your doctor or specialist on the referral form, such as medical history and what the doctor or specialist thinks might be wrong, and which part of the body is being scanned. Contrast medium is not needed for every type of imaging test in order to obtain very high-quality images – whether it is used or not depends on the information provided by your doctor. Why do I need contrast medium? X-ray or radiography is the imaging of body structures using X-ray beams that are absorbed by different parts of the body in different ways to create an image or picture. This includes CT scans and plain radiography/X-rays. Different structures or parts of the body look lighter or darker on the images, depending on what these structures are made of; for example, soft tissue shows as dark grey and bone as light grey."

Here is some information about the Garter/Garden Snake, which some people also call the Gardener Snake, or Gardner Snake: Biology: The Garden snake is one of the most common snakes in North America. There are many varieties and subspecies, but all are thin with a long stripe along the spine, in the middle and usually a stripe along the side, running the length of the body as well. Many people have dubbed the Garden snakes the ‘garden snake’, as it’s so often found in suburban gardens. This species of snake are usually around 2 to 3 feet long but, on occasion, have been found to grow as large as 4 feet. The Garden snake has a similar biology to the majority of other snakes found in North America. The color of a Garden is usually very dark and earthy – with tan or even red or yellow or green stripes down the middle of its body. Some people think a Garden snake looks similar to a rattlesnake, but the main difference being that a Garden snake is much thinner, usually much smaller, the colors are totally different, a rattlesnake does not have stripes, the head isn't as broad, and its tail does not rattle when it feels threatened. Come to think of it, a garden snake doesn't at all look like a rattlesnake, or any other kind of poisonous snake."

The warm days provide a glimpse as to what lies ahead, while the cool nights remind us that winter hasn’t retired quite yet. It’s also a time when nature begins waking up; leaves bud out, migratory birds return and (my favorite) the reptiles reappear. In fact, I had my first report of a snake just a couple weeks ago. Amazingly enough, the e-mail arrived during a spring snowstorm, though, the picture was obviously taken days earlier in the warm sunshine. This particular identification was easy: a young-of-the-year racer, really no bigger than a typical ink pen.

They are found throughout the central United States, from southern Canada to western Arizona, south to the Gulf Coast of Texas, and east to Pennsylvania. ( Harding, 1997)Biogeographic Regions nearcticnative Habitat Eastern Massasauga rattlesnakes are usually found in damp lowland habitats, including bottomland forests, swamps, bogs, fens, marshes, sedge meadows, and wet prairies. The name 'massasauga' means 'great river mouth' in the Chippewa language. These habitats are used by massasaugas from early fall to late spring. During the spring and summer months these snakes often move into drier, more upland habitats, such as grasslands and farm fields. ( Harding, 1997)Habitat Regions temperate terrestrial Terrestrial Biomes forest Wetlands marsh swamp bog Physical Description Eastern Massasauga rattlesnakes are members of the pitviper group. This large group of species are members of a larger group, the vipers. Vipers all have enlarged, hollow fangs at the front of their mouth which are used to inject a modified saliva into their prey. This saliva is venomous and causes their prey to die."

Continue Reading Keep Learning What Do Garter Snakes Eat? What Is the Food Chain of a Coyote? What Do Toucans Eat? Full Answer The roadrunner is well-suited to life in the desert. Being largely carnivorous, it obtains much of the water it needs from the food it eats. It is capable of running at up to 20 mph, and its reflexes are so sharp that it can snatch a dragonfly or a hummingbird from midair. When hunting a rattlesnake, the roadrunner grabs the snake by the tail and cracks it like a whip, slamming its head against the ground until it dies."

"title": "http://animals.mom.me/mean-squirrels-wag-tails-sitting-10491.html\nWhat Does It Mean When Squirrels Wag Their Tails When They Are Sitting?",
"text": "A squirrel's bushy tail serves many functions, from helping to keep him warm like a blanket in winter or cool as it shades his head in the summer. The tail also helps him balance as he climbs and jumps. When he's sitting still, however, wagging his tail means he has something to say and he's trying to communicate it. A Scaly Situation When you see a squirrel sitting still except for his wagging tail, take notice of what the squirrel might be focusing on -- it could be a snake. When squirrels encounter rattlesnakes, for example, they wag their tails and heat them up so the snakes' infrared sensors can see the movement. This shows the snakes that the squirrels are paying attention and plan to flee if the snakes get any closer. Rattlesnakes often are ambush predators, using stealth and speed to gain their meals. When they know their prey is onto them, they're likely to move on. When squirrels encounter snakes that don't have infrared sensors, such as gopher snakes, they still wag their tails, but they don't heat them up. My Food is Mine When squirrels find food items such as nuts or seeds, they don't particularly like to share."

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

"text": "\"Facts on Sidewinder Rattlesnakes By Eric Mohrman The 36 known rattlesnake species live only in North and South America. The sidewinder rattlesnake is indigenous to desert regions across southeastern California, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah, western Arizona and northwestern Mexico. Sidewinder rattlesnakes are venomous, but of little threat to humans, except for young children. The toxin is capable of killing an animal weighing up to 30 pounds; in a larger animal or grown human, it typically causes transient pain, swelling, and general symptoms of illness. Appearance Sidewinder rattlesnakes grow to about 25 inches long and are approximately the color of sand, which helps them conceal themselves in their desert habitat. They may have a pinkish, yellowish or grayish tint, and they feature speckles along their sides and about 40 dark patches down their backs. They have broad triangular heads, thin necks, thick bodies, and small rattles made of keratin at their tail end. These snakes also have little holes known as pits near their eyes, which function as heat sensors for detecting prey. Sidewinders are also known as horned rattlesnakes because of the upturned protruding scales above their eyes, a feature unique to this species among all the types of rattlesnakes. Diet Sidewinder rattlesnakes are carnivorous."

You may imagine the massasauga to be a vicious serpent, ready to strike. The term \"\"rattlesnake\"\" strikes fear in the hearts of most people. This is because of bad stories or rumors about a species that is in reality very shy and secretive. The massasauga is one of the two venomous snakes in Wisconsin, the timber rattlesnake is the other. Believe it or not, before 1975 there was a bounty (a fee paid to people who kill \"\"pest\"\" species) in Wisconsin on rattlesnakes, paying up to 5 dollars a tail. In 1975 the bounty was lifted and the massasauga was placed on the Wisconsin Endangered and Threatened Species List. Some people were afraid that protection of the snake would help them to multiply out of control, but the truth was, their numbers have slowly dropped. Habitat loss is a big problem for these snakes, but the number of snakes killed for bounty might have hurt the populations permanently in some areas of the state. The massasauga were also captured illegally for pets."

"text": "A reading specialist, also known as a reading teacher, is an educator who is professionally trained in teaching literacy skills. He or she works with students to assess their reading styles and offer instructions for improvement. Although their students can be adults, most reading specialists work in secondary school environments to assist children in developing fundamental reading comprehension skills. Traditional teachers may not have the advanced knowledge that is typically required for effectively coaching students with reading difficulties. Reading specialists are trained to recognize students' reading strengths and weaknesses. The specialists then apply their knowledge of different learning styles to customize individual lesson plans to ensure students are understanding the meaning and context of what they read in addition to simply recognizing the letters and sounds. Job duties can vary depending on the place of employment. A reading specialist who works in a school environment may have to meet with the parents of students to give suggestions for home activities to further help with reading skills. He or she can also advise other teachers on how to properly handle students with reading difficulties in their classrooms. A reading specialist in a school setting may also act as a literacy advocate."

The fear from such phobias can have a detrimental effect on a person’s livelihood. A phobia sufferer may have difficulty maintaining friends and family members. The individual may have difficulty holding a job. Additionally, the person may spend a portion of the day in his or her home to avoid the fearful situation. Specialists have named hundreds of phobias. Athazagoraphobia is one of such phobias. What Is Athazagoraphobia? The athazagoraphobia dictionary description is brief, and the athazagoraphobia definition in the medical dictionary is rather short, as well. The dictionaries define athazagoraphobia as a morbid fear of being forgotten."

A specialist in this field, usually called a vascular surgeon, is a doctor that is specially trained to understand the function and problems of the vascular system in the human body. These physicians order tests to determine the function inside of these structures and then prescribe medications or treatments that can assist adequate blood flow through the body. Training Specialists in this field receive the same basic medical training that any other doctor receives. In some states, these physicians are legally allowed to perform procedures on the vascular system. However, a vascular surgeon receives additional formal training in diseases of the vascular system, generally 5 to 8 years of residency training.

Powered by either electricity or propane, a marine water heater is a way to provide instant and required amount of hot water for tasks such as washing-up, personal hygiene, and shower, besides cooking etc. There are some marine water heaters that can utilize the wasted heat generated by the boat’s engine to heat up the water, at no extra cost! Designed for small and compact areas, a marine hot water heater is an excellent appliance with economical operation costs despite working in extremely humid conditions and with salty, fresh water. That’s why marine water heaters are required to be manufactured with very high quality materials. How Does A Marine Water Heater Work? As mentioned above, since a marine water heater is constantly exposed to intense humidity and salty water, the marine hot water heater manufacturers designed these devices with anti-corrosion casing like aluminum and stainless steel or high gauge stainless steel or any other such material water tank. These appliances are available in different sizes as well and start from as small as 6 gallons to as large as 20 gallon capacities. Marine heaters are designed to heat water quickly and effectively. That’s why the heating element is positioned at the lowest point of the water tank, as water is the coldest there."

AC gauge pressure readings help professional auto technicians determine if the system is low and exactly what is going on with the car’s A/C system. A 134A gauge set is also used when attaching a vacuum pump to the car for evacuating/removing the air out of AC components. If air is left in the system, the moisture it contains combines with refrigerant under pressure can cause a corrosive acid to form that can destroy evaporators, condensers or even the AC compressor from the inside. So obviously since air mixed with 134A refrigerant is such a harmful combination, whenever service has been performed, evacuating the system with a vacuum pump is recommended. Simply pull a vacuum down on the AC system with the use of a manifold gauge set and a vacuum pump prior to charging the system. When the system is in a vacuum the boiling point is also reduced which in turn removes moisture that would otherwise be left behind. What are the best brands when it comes to an AC manifold gauge set? Like most things we purchase, the cheaper brands are usually of inferior quality. It also depends on how much use the 134A Gauge set will be exposed to."

"text": "\"Flag What does it mean when the overflow tank is bubbling yet the car does not overheat? Answer by Jehan Rahman Confidence votes 167could be a faulty thermostat,or it could be a sign that your head gasket is about to blow ,or last of all your timing could be out of sync. 2 from Inventus: It means your cooling system is funtioning properly. In a system having a coolant recovery tank, coolant in the radiator is always up to the brim, hot or cold. There is negligible or no air space. When coolant in the radiator expands sufficiently due to warming from the engine, it will squeeze past the pressure cap's bottom seal and flow into the recovery tank. ( If no provision for such expansion was present, the expansion would rupture the radiator or your hoses.) Only coolant within the radiator is under pressure, and because of this pressure (together with the elevated boiling point that the \"\"anti-freeze\"\" permits), it normally does not boil. But once past the pressure cap's bottom seal, the overflow is at atmospheric pressure and therefore boils. This boiling is usually unnoticed after a short, i.e., local, trip because the cooler coolant already in the recovery tank quenches it."

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Staballoy (pure DU is not used) is a very hard and dense material that is less likely to shatter on impact than tungsten carbide. This makes it a very good material to use in armor-piercing ammunition. Sadly, publicity hungry organizations have jumped on the anti-DU bandwagon by (correctly) assuming that most people have never had classes in physics or chemistry. The fact of the matter is that DU has a similar human health hazard as does lead. Since people think that it must be 'radioactive' (not thinking about what the term 'depleted' means) they assume that there is a radioactive hazard associated with the material. PS: Supplies of DU are running short since 90% of the stuff is used for commercial purposes.

As residents of Connecticut, reusing or recycling these items can reduce the amount and toxicity of the garbage that is disposed in our state. Some alternatives to disposal that you should think about include: Fix it! Can your item be repaired? If so, you will not have anything to dispose of, and you could save on replacement costs. Give it away! If the item you have is still usable, chances are that there is someone else that could use it. Before throwing it away, check with friends, relatives, and neighbors to see if they would like to have it."

"text": "\"Hydrogen as a Fuel for Vehicles Hydrogen initially APPEARS to be an ideal fuel for vehicles. If Hydrogen is oxidized (or even burned), it creates virtually no pollution, exclusively water vapor. Hydrogen does not exist naturally (it is such a chemically active element that it all exists within other chemical compounds such as water, methane gas, organic materials, etc) and so it must be extracted from other chemicals, such as by the electrolysis of water. Such processes require very large amounts of external energy to accomplish. ( Electrolysis requires using up at least five times as much electricity, to extract a small amount of hydrogen, to then use as as fuel. ) The vast majority (95%) of current Hydrogen production in the US is made by a catalytic conversion of methane gas, because it is easier and cheaper than electrolysis of water. However, those processes of using large amounts of fossil fuels to create Hydrogen also create around 9 pounds of carbon dioxide for each pound of Hydrogen produced, so they are terribly un-Green. A scientific Law called the Conservation of Energy, which is also called the First Law of Thermodynamics, which requires that the external source of energy MUST supply at least as much energy as the hydrogen could ever later release. Hydrogen gas has very low density, where one pound takes up nearly 200 cubic feet of volume. So gaseous Hydrogen is not very practical to store as a fuel."

"text": "\"COOLANT EXPANSION AND RECOVERY TANKSby Lorne Goldman Overflow Tank The subject of using an “overflow” tank is one that has spawned much forum discussion and even more confusion. The term “overflow” tank commonly has two different meanings on forums. Meanings that are anything but the same. The true overflow tank is simply an item added on after manufacture. It is used with a conventional cooling system which consists of a radiator, fit with a filler neck and sealed with the recommended pressure cap. The system is filled through the filler neck. When the coolant heats, it expands, increasing the system pressure above the pressure holding capability of the pressure cap (listed on the cap in PSI). The seal on the cap is forced upward and this allows the coolant to be vented out through the overflow vent which becomes exposed. The excess coolant vents either into the atmosphere or the ground. However, one can fit an overflow tank which catches the overflow."

Troubleshoot. photo If you own a 1990s Jeep Cherokee there's a good chance you've become intimately familiar with the Coolant Sensor Bad light on your dashboard. What does it mean, anyway? And almost as important, why in the world did Jeep decide that you needed a Coolant Sensor Bad light inside the car to haunt you while you drive? Not only do you have to look at that annoying glow, but in some vehicles the glow is accompanied by a seriously annoying beep. It's unbearable, enough to make you park the car and walk away from it for good!The good news is you don't have to live with that dreaded light or the beeping. There is a simple solution to this problem in most cases. It's just a matter of figuring out what part of this weird warning system is causing the light to activate, and deciding what you are going to do about it. The Coolant Sensor Bad light is supposed to tell you when your coolant sensor is malfunctioning, and this protect you from an overheating situation that you can't anticipate, followed by a warped head or other heat related breakdown that can be very expensive to replace."

"text": "Up Next Getty Images DCLWhile you may be tempted to add a little more gas to your car to round off your dollar sale- even at the risk of overfilling the tank-this is one instance when you shouldn't go with the flow. Topping off the gas tank isn't just bad for the environment, according to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it's also detrimental for your wallet. Because the gas nozzle automatically clicks off when your tank is full, topping off can result in your paying for gasoline that is fed back into the station's tanks via the pump's vapor-recovery system, which prevents gas vapors from escaping into the air and contributing to air pollution. In fact, topping off might even foul up the mechanism and cause not only a gas-pump failure, but also a potential air-pollution problem. Plus, evaporation from the spillage of gas from overfilling-which you've paid for, by the way-contributes to bad-ozone days, is harmful to breathe, and is a source of toxic pollutants such as benzene. You also need some wriggle room in your gas tank to allow the gasoline to expand, otherwise the additional gas could evaporate into your car's vapor-collection system and damage it, leading to a vehicle that runs poorly and has high gas emissions. :: EPADifficulty level: Easy Episode currently unavailable.

The rest are gas-only stations, grocery stores selling fuel, marinas, etc. Do the major oil companies own all the service stations in this country? No. According to the latest information, the refiners own less than 5% of the 150,000 retail stations. When a station bears a particular refiner’s brand, it does not mean that the refiner owns or operates the station. The vast majority of branded stations are owned and operated by independent retailers licensed to represent that brand. According to the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), more than 60% of the retail stations in the US are owned by an individual or family that owns a single store."

You should also know when to refuse to enter. First, however, you need to know what constitutes a confined space. Keep in mind the following: A confined space is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work. It has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; for example, tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, and pits are spaces that may have limited means of entry. It is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. You don't hear a lot about deaths in confined spaces.

"text": "Car Craft Engine Car Craft’s Giant EFI Test Written by Ed Taylor on February 6, 2014Jeff Smith - writer;View All 27 Photos We Test Four Self-Learning Throttle-Body EFI Systems on a Rat-Motor Nova Electronic fuel injection has come a long way in the last 30 years. Early aftermarket systems were complex, slow, and the user had to combine the unique talents of computer software user and accomplished engine tuner. The duo of high price and complexity kept all but the heartiest car crafters away. When the first adaptive systems came on the scene several years ago, many were skeptical, but these systems have now had the benefit of experience to become, for the most part, the simple-to-use-and-install systems they are advertised to be. We decided that what the world needed was an unbiased test of each of the four most popular systems to see just how easy they are to install and whether they can indeed deliver on the promise of better driveability and maybe a mileage improvement, too. The four self-learning EFI systems we chose to evaluate are the MSD Atomic, FAST EZ-EFI 2.0, Edelbrock E-Street, and Holley Terminator EFI. All of these systems use a dedicated, standard 4150 flange throttle body with integrated injectors, making it a simple switch from a carburetor. That part is very easy. However, it is the implementation of a quality fuel-delivery system that is essential to a durable, trouble-free throttle body fuel injection (TBI) system. Our suggestion is to build the fuel-delivery system first and ensure its performance before you tackle the TBI."

Over the centuries, the little bird has been linked to health, wealth, loyalty, and the rigors of long-distance travel. The Swallow tattoo is cool and trendy nowadays, just as other bird tattoos and old school designs such as the nautical star tattoo. Swallow tattoos are often combined with stars, cherries, flowers, arrows or a banner with text. Popular body parts to wear a swallow tattoo are the hip, chest, lower back and shoulders. What Does a Swallow Tattoo Symbolize? Swallow Tattoo The swallow, as well as bluebirds and sparrows, has always had a symbolic meaning for sailors because these birds were usually the first sign that land was near (before modern navigation technology). A swallow tattoo for a sailor reflected his hope of coming home safely. Another fact is that swallows return home every year, no matter where they are. Every year, Mission San Juan Capistrano in California plays host to this wonder of nature."

Although it's an abstract way of thinking that hasn't really been used for a long time! I don't know any Witches that feel there is still significance in it, but if you would like to know- here's what I know of this! -The Crow (specifically the large black, or the silent crow), is significant of approaching death or impending doom. If it flies insistently above a place of very close to someone or in circles around a house then that is where the death occurs. -The common sparrow has a very bad reputation! When someone seems to be very ill, they will fly to that person, and then leave so they don't have to experience the death, and to warn others not to fly near there. -A bird, whose eggs have not yet hatched, will abandon their nest if it is in the property of a damned mortal. -If a bird is seen eating chicken or any other poultry food, it is a sign that there is death approaching. The birds will be insane with pity for the person and will resort to eating other poultry foods."

To dream of beautiful birds with colorful plumage in dream lore is a sign of a marriage. I just love birds and dream wise I will explore what they mean. In dream lore, birds represent the direction that we are heading in life and the spiritual power which is connected to the fact they fly high in the sky. Birds might be a sign of great things to come and can suggest imagination, happiness, spirit, nature, and matter. There are many different variations of bird dreams and here I have tried to make it easy for you to define your dream. If we look at the history of birds then we can learn that in ancient times seeing a certain bird denotes a different symbolism or perhaps message.

"text": "\"Cardinal Signs & Symbols Definition Significance Qualities Meaning History What are Symbolic Signs and How do They Differ from Superstitions? Symbolic signs and superstitions are widely recognized in every culture. The popular conception is that both symbolic signs and superstitions come from a supernatural source. It is at this junction however that they begin to part ways. While they may both relate to supernatural connections, superstitions differ in that they are endowed with certain predictive powers while symbolic signs are perceived as unique and wholly individual messages. For example, superstition declares that should a black bird fly into ones home it predicts an impending death. The prediction is absolute with no room for interpretation or individualization. Superstitions make no distinction about the circumstances of the event or the individual experiencing it. A symbolic sign on the other hand, is wholly unique to each individual and subject to personal examination and interpretation to gain a deeper understanding of its meaning. While it is hard to deny that any of us don’t have a touch of superstition buried somewhere in our psyche, there are times when superstition endowed with such powers can be an unhealthy perception."

A social work degree is not a requirement for community organizing, but does provide a direct path into the field. Jane Addams, Mirzahi notes, could be considered a community organizer."

"text": "\"Home » Job Descriptions » Administrative Job Descriptions Marketing Coordinator Job Description By Ralph Heibutzki; Updated July 05, 2017David Becker/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Marketing refers to activities, institutions and processes that communicate, deliver or exchange items that have interest to customers, according to the American Marketing Association. A marketing coordinator -- sometimes called a marketing manager -- analyzes consumer behavior and directs efforts to maximize the demand for a business's products and services. The success of those efforts depends on the coordinator's organizational skills, ability to read trends and adeptness at finding leads to help a company expand its market share. Brand Management Ensuring the consistent presentation of a company's image through digital, print and social media advertising is one of the marketing coordinator's chief priorities. He regularly seeks new forums for a company's advertising messages and tracks how competitors and consumers react. For example, if negative comments appear on a corporate Facebook page or Twitter account, the organization would expect the coordinator to acknowledge them and represent its viewpoint, says Inc. magazine in its August 2010 article, \"\"How to Mange Your Company's Brand. \"\" Campaign Research and Management With the assistance of public relations, product development and sales staff, the marketing coordinator estimates the potential demand for a company's products and services. He works out the best way of reaching consumers, develops a pricing strategy to maximize profits, and conducts surveys to evaluate their effectiveness. He outlines the campaign's goals, checks with the sales force to ensure they are achieved, and tracks public responses to them. Event Planning Conventions, press conferences, seminars and trade shows provide a forum for companies to promote their products and services."

Considered are historical mine costs, salaries and wages and the general cost of living. The review provides a personal overview of salaries versus income earned from property investment. The review provides advice to younger mining engineers who are making decisions about career choices and options in the international mining industry. INTRODUCTIONAlthough we are always thinking about salaries, we never talk about them, except in hushed tones, and we never let others know precisely how much we earn. Thus it is difficult to get a grip on what others earn who are doing the same as we do. Unless you have access to a series of publications from Cost Mine (a division of Info Mine) . In this review I take a look at these reports, compare the salaries the reports list, think back on my salary history as a case history, and seek to answer a question posed by a 27-year old who read an earlier draft. He asked: What is in it for me?"

"text": "Your Pay Our annual report on industry salaries, with a look at factors that shape compensation By Brandon Lorenz, Senior Editor Facilities Management Article Use Policy It’s a natural question for anyone, including facility executives: What can I do to improve my pay? One way to start is to examine the factors that influence facility executive pay. The size and type of the space managed, number of employees overseen and size of the facility department’s budget all will impact pay. Consider the salary range of facility/building managers, for example. The Salary Base online salary survey shows the median salary for facility/building managers is $60,000, though the salaries included a low of $24,000 and topped out at $138,000. Salary data were gathered through Salary Base, an online survey on Facilities Net, the Web site of Building Operating Management and Maintenance Solutions magazines. Data analyzed for this article was submitted between August 2005 and July 2006 and included 1,167 responses. With a $114,000 spread between the high and low points for facility/building managers — and similarly large salary ranges throughout the industry — there is clearly room for many facility professionals to increase their salary. But how? While market factors such as building size and type have an impact on salary, there are things facility executives can do to make themselves more marketable."

Defining Fair Market Value, Commercial Reasonableness and Reasonable Compensation. A. Fair Market Value. Fair market value is a business valuation concept that has significant implications for transactions involving health care providers. The definition of fair market value for general business valuation purposes is considered the price at which property would change hands between a hypothetical willing and able buyer and a hypothetical willing and able seller, acting at arms-length in an open and unrestricted market, when neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and when both have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.1 Nearly every health care business transaction must be based on some measure of fair market value."

Our study focuses on the recruiting practices for Starbucks’s core competency teams in the United States: the coffee divisions – those working directly to create and re-create profitable brewed beverages. These are the product people in headquarters, and the baristas and store managers in the customer frontline. We have excluded, however, employees at roasting plants, and any suppliers. In order to understand the relationship between human resource practices and company goals we have first looked at the shifts in CEO leadership as well as a SWOT analysis of Starbucks as a whole. We then take a closer look at compensation and benefits, recruitment and hiring, and lastly a SWOT analysis of human resources practices. History Orin Smith succeeded Schultz as CEO in June 2000. In the ten years prior to his position as Starbucks CEO, Mr. Smith held a number of executive positions at Starbucks. As discussed in Chapter 5 of Human Resource Management, there are several advantages to relying on internal sources. Not only does the firm know the applicant, but the applicant knows the firm."

Still, there are a few things you might be doing wrong in the kitchen that don’t actually know are wrong to begin with. One of those has to do with butter—and the question of, does it need to be refrigerated or not? MORE: Your Ultimate Cheat Sheet to Common Cooking Terms Some people swear by leaving the stuff out on the counter, while others balk at the idea of ever keeping a dairy product outside the refrigerator for longer than ten minutes. Plus, theofficial USDA guideline statesthat butter should be refrigerated and only softened “ten to fifteen minutes” before use. However, according John Bruhn, a dairy-foods specialist at the University of California at Davis, that’s not the complete story. “ Most butter contains added salt, which impedes the growth of spoilage bacteria,” he told us. So, while butter will go bad, it happens much more slowly than with unfermented dairy products, such as milk. Today’s salted butter will rarely spoil, even if you leave it unrefrigerated all the time."

The diet is designed so that you won’t feel hungry — you can choose from 100 different foods and you're allowed to eat as much of them as you want — and you don’t have to count calories. Its biggest draw is its pronto weight-loss promise: that you can lose up to seven to 10 pounds in the first five days — and keep them off. --from Everyday Health.com--- Attack Phase ---Phase 1: Attack is all about protein, protein, and more protein. You can eat unlimited lean meat, poultry, lean ham, organ meats, fish and seafood, eggs, and nonfat dairy (except no cheese). This phase, as well as the next three phases, also requires drinking six cups of water a day. You also take a 20-minute walk every day. In this phase and the next two phases, you eat one and a half tablespoons of oat bran daily (Dukan says it helps people feel full).

How long does caviar last? Storage is key. Caviar in unopened vacuum sealed jars will maintain their freshness for five to six weeks (a few weeks longer if stored on ice in the refrigerator); and unopened tins will be fresh for about two weeks. Once a jar or tin is opened, the caviar should be consumed within two to three days for maximum flavor. It can be eaten beyond then, but it begins to deteriorate. Q. What is the best way to store caviar? Keep caviar in the coldest part of the refrigerator, usually the back (never on the door or in the storage bins, which are warmer). Caviar should be served well-chilled to bring out its subtle flavors."

Farm raised salmon are fed pellets that contain antibiotics, pesticides, growth hormones and artificial coloring agents. Free-ranging wild Alaska salmon are recognized as the purest fish found anywhere. In fact, the Alaska Division of Public Health continues to encourage \"\"pregnant women, women who are breast feeding, women of childbearing age, and young children continue unrestricted consumption of fish from Alaskan waters.\"\" A recently published article in, The Audubon's Living Oceans Campaign, reads \"\"Farm-raised salmon consume more antibiotics per pound of 'livestock' than are any other farm-raised animal.\"\" A total of over 23 million pounds of antibiotics are consumed by livestock in US animal production each year.

In some undeveloped countries the fish is still heavily salted for preservation. Back fat or any fatty trimmings do not contain myoglobin and can not react with nitrite. For this reason they may be salted only. San Daniele and Parma Italian dry hams are made without nitrate. In all, a very few products are made or preserved by salting alone. When salt is added to meat it provides us with the following benefits: Adds flavor (feels pleasant when applied between 2-3%). Prevents microbial growth. Increases water retention, and meat and fat binding. Salt does not kill bacteria, it simply prevents or slows down their development."

Making goat cheese is an easy way to use that surplus milk for your family. When raising goats for milk, once the babies are weaned, you’re going to have way more milk than you can handle. The average full-size dairy goat produces a gallon or more of milk per day, EVERY day. Unless you have a very large family with an appetite for fresh goat milk, cheese is inevitably in your future!This is why cheese was originally made. Storing and transporting milk was a tricky endeavor, especially when there was little or no refrigeration. But when those original goat herders took a gallon of milk (which weighs about 8 pounds and sloshes all around when you try to carry it) and started making goat cheese, they had a nice tidy package that weighed about 1 pound and didn’t need refrigeration. Those of us with dairy animals are faced with the same dilemma today: too much milk to store and use up before it spoils. So try making goat cheese!Ready to Start Your own Goat Herd?"

Built-Ins At the top end of the scale are the upscale built-ins, by Sub-Zero, Wolf and Viking. Bigger than freestanding models, a 36-inch model or 48-inch model may run 600 pounds, or up to 650 pounds, while a 30-inch may be 475 pounds. Moving Day Considerations Size and weight specifications come into play when you need to safely and affordably move your fridge. For example, a major maker's 27-cubic-foot French door model weighs 352 pounds, while its 18-cubic-foot, top-freezer model weighs just 199 pounds. While two movers can handle a fridge up to 22 cubic feet, you need either three movers or two movers with an appliance dolly or moving straps for larger models, up to 650 pounds.

"text": "\"No Knead Refrigerator Bread…You won’t believe how easy this is!May 24, 2010 By Kelly 32 Comments Bread is fun. I like baking bread because it makes me feel like a survivalist. Our modern world is interesting because each of us get to choose one or two things we are good at and market that talent. For instance, when I was practicing law, I could make people sad just by making their phone ring (hence the joy I feel in the kitchen where almost everything I do makes several people happy every day)…that was my skill. I didn’t need to know how to fix my air conditioner because that was someone else’s skill and I could borrow that person and their skill for a fee. But, hundreds of years ago, I suspect that being able to make a simple bread was the difference between eating and starving in every family. Skills weren’t specialized and marketed, and bread was life. My grandfather, Virgil, was a superintendant of Mead’s Bread bakery in Wichita Falls, Texas. There are those that remember him for baking giant twelve foot loaves of bread in rain gutters. But there are many folks with slightly graying hair in the Falls who have as one of their earlier memories the Christmas display at Mead’s where Santa handed out a warm, perfect, miniature loaf of bread to each child, wrapped in wax paper."

Use of a mark is not a prerequisite for filing an application in most countries; however, some countries do have use requirements. Consult local counsel for more information. 2.

Learn what to do if this happens to you. Related Products MOREForm Your Own Limited Liability Company LLC or Corporation? Nolo's Guide to Single-Member LLCs Nolo's Quick LLCWhat Is Cybersquatting? Cybersquatting is registering, selling or using a domain name with the intent of profiting from the goodwill of someone else's trademark. It generally refers to the practice of buying up domain names that use the names of existing businesses with the intent to sell the names for a profit to those businesses. The History of Cybersquatting The practice that's come to be known as cybersquatting originated at a time when most businesses were not savvy about the commercial opportunities on the Internet. Some entrepreneurial souls registered the names of well-known companies as domain names, with the intent of selling the names back to the companies when they finally woke up. Panasonic, Fry's Electronics, Hertz and Avon were among the \"\"victims\"\" of cybersquatters. Opportunities for cybersquatters are rapidly diminishing, because most businesses now know that nailing down domain names is a high priority."

"text": "\"Trademark Law and Naming Your Business A trademark is a sign, mark, or indicator used by an individual, business, or organization to identify a product or service as its own and to distinguish the product or service from those of its competitors. A business name generally can be protected as a trademark under federal and state trademark law. Trademark law is designed to avoid consumer confusion over the trademarks that businesses or other organizations use in connection with their goods and services. Stated briefly, trademark law makes it unlawful for a business to use a trademark (e.g., a slogan, a logo, a name) in connection with a good or service if that use is confusingly similar to another business's use of a trademark. To see how this works, imagine a consumer - Sally. If Sally buys a Dell computer, she can be pretty sure that the computer was made by Dell Computer and nobody else. She can take Dell's reputation into account without worrying that a knockoff company is making shoddy computers with the Dell logo on them because trademark law prohibits that kind of confusing commercial activity and it gives Dell the right to sue for money damages and an injunction if someone does it. As a general rule, if someone in a similar field to yours is already using a particular business or organization name, you should not use it, nor should you use a name that would be confusingly similar. Traditionally, there was nothing to prevent someone from using a trademarked name in a completely unrelated field or industry (for instance, Delta Faucet and Delta Airlines) because there was no possibility that consumers would confuse one for the other. However, the emergence of something called \"\"anti-dilution\"\" law means that the owner of a \"\"famous\"\" trademark (it means pretty much what is sounds like) can prevent you from using it even in an unrelated industry."

"text": "What is a trademark? A trademark is a word, slogan, symbol, design, or combination of these elements, which identifies and distinguishes the goods or services of one party from others. The word trademark or trademark law is frequently used generically to encompass similar identifiers of origin such as service marks, collective marks, certification marks, trade dress, and trade name. What is the purpose of trademark law? The primary purpose of the trademark laws is to prevent unfair competition by applying a test of consumer confusion and providing rights and remedies to the owner of the trademark. The test for consumer confusion is to assure that the consumer can be confident that when buying a product or service bearing a particular trademark the product or service expected is actually delivered. In other words, the consumer relies on a standard of quality established by the association of the trademark in the marketplace with the owners product or service. If the owner of a trademark has spent time and money in presenting a service or product to the consumer, the owner should be able to protect this investment by being allowed to prevent others from using the trademark and profiting from the owners investment. The value of the trademark is determined by the strength, or goodwill, of the association between the trademark and its source, and it is the consumer who determines this value. Although the trademark identifies the source of the product or service, that source can be the manufacturing source, the selling source, or in case of universities, the source of sponsorship or authorization."

By far, the most popular question we get is in regards to protecting a clothing line, whether it’s a small startup t-shirt company or an established name brand apparel company with new designs, logos, or slogans. This article will cover many of the basic questions and quandaries that many clothing lines have. What is protectable? Can I protect the name? Trademarks Having your attorney file a trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), is the way to gain protection of the brand, as it can protect the name, logo, or slogan of the apparel brand. To better understand what is protectable, let’s look at the classic example of Nike. Nike, Inc. has several trademark registrations for the word “Nike” under different classes of goods and services. One registration is filed in connection with their goods of shoes, while a different application is for sporting equipment, and another for backpacks. Further, Nike has several design registrations as well, most notably the swoosh symbol."

According to the New York State Science and Technology Law Center [ 1] , trademark fees can be broken into filing fees, trademark searches, attorney fees for an opinion and attorney fees for the trademark application. Typical costs: It costs $275-$375 (paper submissions cost more than online [ 2] ) to file an application for a single trademark for a single class of goods or services with the USPTO [ 3] . Each application must include a description and \"\"drawing\"\" of your proposed trademark, when it was first used, the products and/or services on which it will be used, a suggested classification (out of approximately 40 listed by the USPTO) under which it should be registered and samples of how the mark is being used. For federal registration, do a trademark search first, to be sure your potential name, phrase or symbol doesn't conflict with an existing trademark. Free online searches can be done at The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) [ 4] , but with a limited database. Thompson and Thompson [ 5] is a leading provider of trademark searches of federal, state and other records. In both cases you must review the search results yourself to determine if your proposed trademark is available for registration.

The role of the USPTO is to grant patents for the protection of inventions and to register trademarks. It serves the interests of inventors and businesses with respect to their inventions and corporate products, and service identifications. It also advises and assists the President of the United States, the Secretary of Commerce, the bureaus and offices of the Department of Commerce, and other agencies of the government in matters involving all domestic and global aspects of “intellectual property.” Through the preservation, classification, and dissemination of patent information, the Office promotes the industrial and technological progress of the nation and strengthens the economy. In discharging its patent related duties, the USPTO examines applications and grants patents on inventions when applicants are entitled to them; it publishes and disseminates patent information, records assignments of patents, maintains search files of U. S. and foreign patents, and maintains a search room for public use in examining issued patents and records. The Office supplies copies of patents and official records to the public. It provides training to practitioners as to requirements of the patent statutes and regulations, and it publishes the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure to elucidate these."

August 12, 2005AURORA - You might have noticed plants for sale labeled “patented” or “trademarked” at your local nursery or garden center. Why would the nursery industry patent or trademark plant varieties?“Plant patents or trademarks develop an incentive for creative design and innovation by plant breeders and the horticulture industry,” explained James Altland, nursery crops specialist at Oregon State University’s North Willamette Research and Extension Center in Aurora. The nursery and greenhouse industries have long struggled with the issue of appropriate pricing for their products, said Altland. Patenting or trademarking gives plant varieties more value in the consumer marketplace. Consumers will pay more for a product they perceive as premium. “In the hope of financial payback, plant breeders, ranging from scientists and professional nursery people to the backyard orchardist, try again and again to breed that perfect plant,” he said. “ I think patents are one of the cornerstones of capitalism."

Each offers a unique set of rights and protections, but differ in what they cover, as well as how long those protections last. In general, a copyright protects written or artistic works, like books, plays, musical compositions, and paintings; trademarks protect brand names and symbols, like logos; and patents protect inventions, including processes, devices, designs, and even plants. Copyrights A copyright protects a wide range of creative or intellectual work. This includes written works as well as dramatic, musical, and artistic creations. Some items covered by copyright include movies, songs, books, sculptures, and computer software. A copyright gives the creator exclusive rights to the material; typically, this includes the right to perform or display the work publicly as well as produce and sell copies of the material. The copyright owner may also import or export the work, transmit it through radio or video, and decide who else may perform or financially profit from it. In most cases, a work does not have to be published to be copyrighted. Depending on where the work is produced, it may not even have to be registered."

Federal Incorporation and Trademarking Give the Best Protection Share Flip Pin Email By Susan Ward Updated September 22, 2016Question: What if someone is using my business name? Answer: Generally, all businesses operating in Canada must comply with federal, provincial, and municipal laws regarding business names. However, if you discover that someone else is operating a business using your business name, you may or may not be able to do anything about it. How Your Business Is Structured Determines the Degree of Name Protection Whether or not you have any right to ask someone who is using the same business name that you're using to stop using it depends on what level of name protection you have, so to speak. And that depends on how you've legally structured your business. People think that just registering their business name means that they're the only ones entitled to use it, but that's not true. Sole proprietorships and partnerships are the easiest forms of business ownership to set up, but registering either of these forms of business gives absolutely no business name protection. Anyone can start a business with the same or a similar name if they wish. Incorporation, on the other hand, does give some business name protection."

Next, they need to determine their intellectual property needs, such as costs of registering their chosen name as a trademark. Use Vs. Registration Many people don’t realize that registration of a trademark does not establish trademark rights. Rather, trademark rights are established through use of the mark. Registration, however, gives public notice of trademark ownership. A state trademark registration gives public notice of ownership in that particular state.

It resembles a main clause except for the presence of a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun, either of which renders it subordinate. Here are some guidelines about its use. To convey two thoughts, you can write, for example, “I went to school. I was feeling ill.” However, this construction offers no clue to the relationship between the two statements. To clarify that you wish to explain that you attended school in spite of your illness, you can combine the two thoughts into one, but you must include a conjunction that conveys the subordinate status of the second statement: “I went to school, although I was feeling ill.” ( The subordinate clause can also come first: “Although I was feeling ill, I went to school.”) Other common subordinate conjunctions include because, until, and when."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the Dessa album, see Parts of Speech (album). In traditional grammar, a part of speech (abbreviated form: Po S or POS) is a category of words (or, more generally, of lexical items) which have similar grammatical properties. Words that are assigned to the same part of speech generally display similar behavior in terms of syntax —they play similar roles within the grammatical structure of sentences—and sometimes in terms of morphology, in that they undergo inflection for similar properties. Commonly listed English parts of speech are noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, interjection, and sometimes numeral, article or determiner. Essentially all these word classes exist within all Indo-European languages, [1] even though articles might sometimes be considered as a part of a noun. Conversely, Hungarian completely lacks prepositions and Finnish only has very few of them, in addition to which it also has some postpositions. Hungarian is an agglutinative language whereas Finnish is typologically between fusional and agglutinative languages, but both belong to the Uralic language family. A part of speech—particularly in more modern classifications, which often make more precise distinctions than the traditional scheme does—may also be called a word class, lexical class, or lexical category, although the term lexical category refers in some contexts to a particular type of syntactic category, and may thus exclude parts of speech that are considered to be functional, such as pronouns. The term form class is also used, although this has various conflicting definitions. [ 2] Word classes may be classified as open or closed: open classes (like nouns, verbs and adjectives) acquire new members constantly, while closed classes (such as pronouns and conjunctions) acquire new members infrequently, if at all."

In Aman there were two dialects of Quenya, Vanyarin and Noldorin. For historical reasons, only the latter was used in Middle-earth. The only other Eldarin language spoken in Aman, Telerin, could also be considered a dialect of Quenya, but it was usually held to be a separate language and is not discussed here (see separate article). Compared to many other Elvish tongues, Quenya was archaic. It preserved the main features of the original Elvish language, invented by the Elves when they first awoke by the mere of Cuiviénen - a tongue with \"\"many...beautiful words, and many cunning artifices of speech\"\" (WJ:422). In fact, the Silmarillion Index refers to Quenya as \"\"the ancient tongue, common to all Elves, in the form it took in Valinor\"\" in Aman - as if Quenya was so similar to Primitive Elvish that it was merely as a later form of it, not a new language. Indeed Primitive Elvish and Quenya may have been mutually intelligible, but it must not be thought that they were almost identical. In Valinor, the ancient Elvish tongue underwent certain changes: \"\"Its altering ... [came] in the making of new words (for things old and new) and in the softening and harmonizing of the sounds and patterns of the Quendian tongue to forms that seemed to the Noldor more beautiful\"\" (WJ:20)."

Another equivalent would be the Romanian \"\" pupici\"\", which is even closer to it's English equivalent \"\" Kisses\"\" as it literally means kisses. Notice how the grammar might be a bit confusing, as the person doing the action is implicit in the form of the verb \"\" pup\"\", whereas the pronoun indicates the person on whom the action is being performed \"\" te\"\". Should you want to send \"\"kisses\"\" to a group of people, you'd have to say \"\" Va pup\"\", which uses a different pronoun, appropriate for a group of people you are addressing directly. Should you want to send \"\"kisses\"\" to a group of people you're not addressing directly, you should say \"\" Ii pup\"\", which means \"\"I kiss them\"\". Should you want to send \"\"kisses\"\" to a person that is not the one you're talking with, similarly to \"\" send him/her my regards\"\", you'd have to say \"\" O pup\"\" if the person is female, or \"\" Il pup\"\" if the person is male. A quick way of remembering all of this is to know that the verb stays the same: \"\" pup\"\" because its form is in accordance to you, and you are unchanged, whereas the pronoun changes based on who you're addressing your \"\"kisses\"\". Romanian grammar trivia...this pronoun is personal, not reflexive, even though it looks as if it were a reflexive pronoun. We Romanians hold such grammatical classifications in high esteem.

"text": "\"GREEK NOUNS (Shorter Definitions)A noun in the Greek language is viewed just like the English noun. But because Greek is a highly inflected language (i.e. the form of words change to indicate the role each word plays in the sentence), a noun changes forms based upon its relationship to other words and how it functions in the sentence. The stem of the noun contains the basic meaning of the noun, but a suffix is added to indicate the noun’s role in the sentence. The endings are changed according to certain patterns, or ‘ declensions ’, that indicate what is the number, case, and gender of the noun form. To \"\"decline\"\" a noun means to analyze it and break it down into its basic parts according to number, gender , and case - see below. (' Declension' is a subset of the broader term ' inflection ', in that it only refers to nouns and pronouns, not to verbs. There are a number of different patterns in which nouns decline; these patterns are referred to as ' paradigms '. ) Grammatical Number of Nouns Number can either be singular or plural. A noun that is in a singular form indicates \"\"only one\"\". A noun that is in the plural form indicates \"\"more than one.\"\""

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adjective in the sentence. Adjective clauses can also be called relative clauses. An adjective clause begins with a relative pronoun or a relative adverb. Often the relative pronoun or relative adverb will function as the subject of the clause.

Several pronouns further have special forms used after prepositions. Spanish is a pro-drop language with respect to subject pronouns. Like French and other languages with the T–V distinction, modern Spanish has a distinction in its second person pronouns that has no equivalent in modern English. Object pronouns are generally proclitic, and non-emphatic clitic doubling is most often found with dative clitics. The personal pronoun \"\" vos \"\" is used in some areas of Latin America, particularly in Central America, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, the state of Zulia in Venezuela, and the Andean regions of Colombia, Bolivia, Perú, and Ecuador.

Various grammatical rules and style guides determine which relative pronouns may be suitable in various situations, especially for formal settings. In some cases the relative pronoun may be omitted and merely implied (\"\"This is the man [that] I saw\"\", or \"\"This is the putter he wins with\"\").

Heathfield Updated March 02, 2018The release of claims is an agreement between an employer and an employee whose employment has been terminated. The release of claims legal document generally lays out the prior terms of employment and an agreement to negate them. Any other agreements released are also included in the document. The release of claims is offered in return for the acceptance of a severance package. The intent of the document is to limit potential litigation for reasons such as discrimination. A second reason to offer a release of claims is to limit a former employee's ability to talk disparagingly about the company. With a properly written non-disparagement clause, if the former employee badmouths the company, he or she loses the severance. Make the severance offer reasonable and the company is protected against both litigation and public disparagement. The release of claims is an integral component used during an employment termination meeting. It is one of the steps you will follow as you complete the employment ending checklist during a termination meeting."

A Quitclaim Deed (or Quit Claim) is a legal document where the Grantor (or owner/seller) releases his or her ownership rights in a piece of real property to the Grantee (or purchaser). A simple deed should identify the following basic elements: Grantor: the name and mailing address of the individual (s) or corporation who currently owns the property Grantee: the name and mailing address of the individual (s) or corporation who will become the new owner Consideration: how much, if anything, is being paid for the property Legal Description: a land description in words that identifies a particular piece of property Parcel Number: number assigned by the tax assessor (usually listed on your property tax statement)Preparer: the name and mailing address of the person who prepared the the document Witnesses: depending on the state, zero, one, or two witnesses who watch the owner sign the document Notary: a notary public who verifies that the signatures are authentic Deeds should be recorded with the local recording office to give the public notice of and create a priority for the Grantee’s claim of ownership.

He projected in 2011 that Brainy Brands could hit $4.50 a share in three years. At the time of the pitch, Brainy Brands was trading at around $1.35 -- it's now below 1 cent. Payne claimed in 2009 that NXT could \"\"turn $10,000 into $25,000.\"\" At the time, NXT was trading for $2.00 -- it's now below 1/10 th of a cent. And Payne claimed in November 2007 that Generex, then at $1.58, was a long term \"\"screaming buy\"\" which could hit $7.00."

By Melissa Edmonds“Sweating out toxins” is one of the commonly listed benefits of hot yoga and in-home saunas. You’ve heard the claim before, but have you ever wondered if it’s actually true? I’m going to answer this in just a moment, but I’ll begin by saying, if you’re a hot yoga fan don’t get all mad and stop reading — stay with me. I’m not hating on hot yoga at all... just stating a few facts about what actually happens when you sweat, or more specifically, what doesn’t happen. By all means, hot yoga has benefits, but releasing toxins is not one of them. It’s just a common claim used to promote the practice. So why is this claim believable? Well, the physiological act of sweating inherently feels good. When you’re sweating you recognize the fact that you’re working hard, you’re moving and releasing the endorphins associated with exercise."

Deeds of release are often used in settling workcover cases and common law claims between employers (or their representing insurance companies and defense lawyers) and injured workers — but what are they really? In this article, we try to discuss what deed are, how they’re written and provide very important tips on their use for injured workers. Deeds of release often used in settling workcover cases- what are they? A deed of release is a legal expression which is referring to a release or an agreement to settle the current or future legal claims of one person against another. Deeds take their full name from their purpose. For example, the expression ‘deed of release’ reflects the agreement to settle current or future legal claims of one person against another. So a deed it is a type of written contract as it were which contains the agreement of usually two parties (i.e employer and injured worker). Deeds must also comply with certain established formalities- both in presentation and in execution. However, we prefer to refer to them as “hush contracts” or “mouse traps”!What are deeds of release used for?deeds of release, within the context of normal employment, are commonly used to finalise contentious (read: quarrelsome, disputed, highly controversial, most often litigious !)"

The best way to answer this question is to explain the stages of a claim that must happen before that claim can be resolved. Stages of a Claim There are several parts or stages of a personal injury claim leading to its conclusion. The first stage depends on the length of a client's recovery from their injuries. The end of this stage is reached either when the client has recovered and is discharged from medical treatment, or when the client has reached the point where, in the opinion of their doctor, the client has reached their maximum recovery and whatever residual problems the client still has are essentially permanent. Doctors call this the point of \"\"maximum medical improvement\"\" or MMI. When a client is expected to make a complete recovery, we prefer to start negotiations after our client has been discharged from medical care and the client is satisfied that they have recovered from their injuries. We do this for the protection of the client, because once there has been a settlement agreement, the case is considered concluded."

"text": "COMMON DEFENSES TO NEGLIGENCEAttacking the Negligence Claim Comparative Negligence Statutes of Limitations Assumption of Risk No Seatbelt Defense in SCAttacking the Negligence Claim Itself The defendant has two avenues of attack against a claim. The defendant can attack the plaintiff’s claim of negligence or the defendant can plead affirmative defenses, such as comparative negligence and assumption of risk, which are listed and discussed below. The claim of negligence itself basically consists of the claim that the defendant did not act with reasonable care and that lack of care caused the plaintiff’s injuries. The defendant can attack this claim in various ways: The defendant can argue that the law did not require him to act carefully toward the plaintiff. The defendant can argue that he or she did act with reasonable care. The defendant can argue that his or her actions did not cause the plaintiff’s injuries, and The defendant can argue that the plaintiff’s injuries are not the kind the law would require the defendant to pay for. In addition to attacking the standard elements of negligence, defendants are also able to argue for some modification of the elements, if the law allows. For example, defendants can sometimes argue that the plaintiff had a special status that allowed the defendant to exercise a lower level of care in relation to the plaintiff than would otherwise be required by law. But in turn, plaintiffs can sometimes argue that due to the relationship between the parties there is a higher level of care, e.g. common carriers like airlines and bus lines owe a duty of utmost care to their passengers. Comparative Negligence Comparative negligence is the legal doctrine that defendants should not be responsible for the damages caused by the negligence of the plaintiff."

In this relationship, the guardian is given the duty and right to act on behalf of the ward in making certain decisions affecting the ward's life. This fact sheet is informational only and is not intended to be legal advice. These are complex issues. If you need help to understand this information, the Disability Law Center can help you. When a guardian is appointed, the court gives the guardian the authority to exercise certain legal rights of the ward in the ward's best interest. When a guardianship order gives certain rights to the guardian, it takes those rights away from the ward. This can limit the choices a person with a disability can make on their own. For this reason, guardianship is a very restrictive procedure and should only be used when necessary."

Submitted by Daniel on Mon, 08/05/2013 - 16:13Today we will be addressing a question that came to us through our interactive disability forum. If you have a question regarding any part of the Social Security Disability application process, leave it in the comment section below so that we can answer it in a future blog post. Today’s question is: How should a representative payee spend a child's SSI benefits? As the representative payee for your child’s Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, you are responsible for using the funds appropriately and for keeping accurate records of how the payments are spent. Standard monthly benefit payments can be managed and used in certain ways, while significant back payments of retroactive benefits must be handled differently. Dedicated Accounts for SSI Back Payments If your child has recently been approved for SSI and is due a large back payment of benefits, then you will be required to open a dedicated bank account for the funds and the use of those funds will be subject to very specific restrictions. The dedicated account must be a separate checking, savings, or money market account from the one that is used for standard monthly SSI benefits. The funds in the account must be maintained separately from all other funds, including monthly benefit deposits from SSI. The back payment funds cannot be used to purchase stocks, bonds, CDs, or any other form of secured or unsecured investment."

"text": "\"Representative Payee - Not a Job to Be Taken Lightly The Social Security Administration (SSA) manages the two largest government benefit programs for people with special needs, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Many of the people with special needs who receive these benefits are qualified to manage their own money and can make other financial decisions for themselves. The SSA sends these people their own benefit check each month. However, when a person with special needs cannot make important financial decisions, either because of her disability or because she has not reached the age of majority, the SSA sends the benefits directly to a third party, known as a representative payee, who is charged with managing the funds for the beneficiary. When a parent or caregiver signs up to be a representative payee, they often do not take the time to truly explore what they are getting into, which could lead to trouble down the road. Here are a few key things to remember about being a representative payee. It's Not Your Money The funds you receive are the beneficiary's funds, not yours. When you agree to be a representative payee, you are responsible for managing the beneficiary's money for their benefit, not yours. In almost all cases, this means that you are not allowed to charge a fee to be a representative payee. It's easy to lose track of the beneficiary's funds, especially when family finances are mixed together."

The Importance of Insurance in Leasing Transactionsa.) Protecting the Collateral Provisions in the lease documents, the filing of financing statements and, in some circumstances, appraisals are all used by lessors to protect their interests in the equipment. These precautions are virtually worthless if the equipment is uninsured and is destroyed. As a result, lease documents generally contain strong insurance provisions which (i) require the lessee to maintain insurance that is acceptable to the lessor, (ii) assure that the lessor is covered by those policies (the magic words “additional insured” and “loss payee” are essential), and (c) require the insurance company to notify the lessor before canceling or substantially changing the policy.b.) Avoiding Lessor Liability Certain types of equipment may result in damage to persons or property. Lessors, who often are the “owners” of the equipment, can be targeted by plaintiff’s lawyers looking to find compensation for people who are injured by (or have their property damaged by) the equipment. Although a good contract requires the lessee to indemnify the lessor from any such suits, those provisions rely on the lessee’s continued creditworthiness and lessors protect themselves from these risks by making sure that the lessee has liability insurance that covers the lessor. The lessor needs to be an “additional insured” in this case. Why do you need Proof of Insurance?"

"text": "Representative Payee (SSA) Law and Legal Definition Representative Payee The term Representative Payee is unique to the Social Security Administration (SSA); however the role of representative payee is simply one of agency, that is, the representative payee is the designated agent for a recipient of Social Security benefits whom the SSA has determined to be incapable of managing his or her SS or SSI benefits. As the designated agent of a financially incapable SSA or SSI recipient, the representative payee plays a role similar to that of an agent or attorney-in-fact under a power of attorney, namely, an agent for another, an agent for a disclosed principal. The role of representative payee differs in one significant respect from that of agent or attorney-in-fact under a power of attorney: any grantor under a power of attorney chooses his or her agent; that is not the case with appointment of a representative payee. The Social Security Administration (SSA) chooses and designates the representative payee for a financially incapable recipient of SS or SSI benefits. The recipient of SS or SSI benefits is known as a beneficiary. Neither a guardian or conservator appointed in a state-court protective proceeding for an incapacitated or financially incapable person, nor an attorney-in-fact under a power of attorney has lawful authority to receive, manage, or administer the SS or SSI benefits paid to a beneficiary. Social security is a matter of federal, not state, law, and state courts lack jurisdiction over the federal government, and ts agencies and programs. Similarly, individuals lack authority over the any government and so may not control or direct SS or SSI benefits. An existing attorney-in-fact may apply for and may be appointed as the representative payee for a SS or SSI beneficiary. Any person interested in serving as a beneficiary's representative payee should contact the nearest SSA office to apply for appointment as payee."

Supplemental Security Income ( SSI) is a United States government means-tested welfare program that provides cash assistance and health care coverage (i.e., Medicaid) to people with low-income and limited assets who are either aged 65 or older, blind, or disabled (children included). [ 1] Although administered by the Social Security Administration, [2] SSI is funded from the U. S. Treasury general funds, [1] not the Social Security trust fund. SSI was created in 1974 to replace federal-state adult assistance programs that served the same purpose, but was administered by the State agencies and received criticism for lacking consistent eligibility criteria throughout the United States. The restructuring of these programs was intended to standardize the eligibility requirements and level of benefits. [ 3] The new federal program was incorporated into Title XVI (Title 16) of the Social Security Act. [ 4] Today the program provides benefits to approximately eight million Americans.

Available Check Cancellation (ACC)An ACC means the Department of Treasury (Treasury) returned and cancelled an unendorsed check. Treasury credits the funds to SSA. NOTE: Due to the functionality of TCIS, Treasury posts an ACC when SSA inputs an EFT nonreceipt. Treasury creates a “false” replacement check in TCIS and cancels the check immediately.

The government currently uses the ACH network primarily to make benefit and salary payments electronically via direct deposit.

"text": "What is a Social Security Representative Payee? What is a Social Security Representative Payee and how are they chosen? Justice in Aging - http://www.justiceinaging.org/ - Published May 2016Introduction Currently there are over ten million older adults who rely exclusively on Social Security benefits as their primary source of income. Older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive impairments may have difficulty managing their finances, making them vulnerable to financial exploitation. For those older adults, The Social Security Administration (SSA) has authority from Congress to appoint individuals known as representative payees to receive and manage Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. However, unless the SSA follows certain procedures and regulations to determine whether it is in the beneficiary’s best interest to have a payee, select the proper payee, provide adequate oversight over the payee’s activities, and provide intervention if there is a misuse of funds, then the representative payee program can itself be a source of financial abuse. This fact sheet by Justice in Aging provides an overview of the basic rules governing the representative payee program, and is meant as an educational tool for seniors, their families, and their caregivers. Central to Justice in Aging’s mission is ensuring that our nation’s most vulnerable seniors are protected from misuse of their modest incomes. This project is supported by a fellowship grant from the Borchard Center Foundation on Law and Aging, which sponsors fellows who are interested in improving the quality of life for seniors. How SSA decides if a beneficiary should have a representative payee: First, SSA must learn of a problem with a beneficiary’s ability to manage their financial affairs—usually from a friend or family member."

"text": "\"Representative Payee - Not a Job to Be Taken Lightly The Social Security Administration (SSA) manages the two largest government benefit programs for people with special needs, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Many of the people with special needs who receive these benefits are qualified to manage their own money and can make other financial decisions for themselves. The SSA sends these people their own benefit check each month. However, when a person with special needs cannot make important financial decisions, either because of her disability or because she has not reached the age of majority, the SSA sends the benefits directly to a third party, known as a representative payee, who is charged with managing the funds for the beneficiary. When a parent or caregiver signs up to be a representative payee, they often do not take the time to truly explore what they are getting into, which could lead to trouble down the road. Here are a few key things to remember about being a representative payee. It's Not Your Money The funds you receive are the beneficiary's funds, not yours. When you agree to be a representative payee, you are responsible for managing the beneficiary's money for their benefit, not yours. In almost all cases, this means that you are not allowed to charge a fee to be a representative payee. It's easy to lose track of the beneficiary's funds, especially when family finances are mixed together."

"text": "DEFINITION of 'Representative Payee'A long-term care facility that has been granted approval to accept federal benefit payments on a resident’s behalf. Representative payees can accept federal benefit payments from the Social Security Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, Railroad Retirement Board and Office of Personnel Management if the actual payee, the long-term care facility resident, is too mentally or physically impaired to manage the income. Next Up Nursing Home Resident Trust Fund Long-Term Care Ombudsman Payee Loss Payee BREAKING DOWN 'Representative Payee'A representative payee is legally obligated to use the payments it receives on a resident’s behalf for the resident’s best interests. For example, it can use the money to pay legitimate (not fraudulent or inflated) bills from the facility. Senior advocates recommend against making any long-term care facility a representative payee because of the potential for abuse. Instead, they recommend planning in advance: The ideal scenario is one in which the potential long-term care facility resident, while he or she is still of sound mind and body, chooses a representative, such as a trusted family member, to manage his/her finances should incapacity happen later on. There is still a risk of elder financial abuse with this option, but the idea is that it should be a lesser risk since the patient is making an informed and capable decision about whom they trust to manage their finances instead of letting a complete stranger gain the responsibility by default. For example, suppose a nursing home resident has dementia and is incapable of paying her bills, but needs to do so in order to remain a resident of the nursing home. The resident did not give anyone financial power of attorney before she developed dementia. The nursing home could contact the Social Security Administration to apply to be a representative payee for that resident’s Social Security benefits."

A degree is the first step; more than 200 colleges and universities offer accredited speech-language pathology and accompanying audiology degree programs for the interested student. Courses will cover physiology, anatomy and physical development in those areas of the body related to speech and language, and students will receive clinical training in dealing with various disorders relating to speech and language. After the proper education is obtained, most potential speech therapists will need to seek a license to treat patients, as well as a certificate to demonstrate their competency in the field. License and certification requirements for potential speech therapists vary from state to state, with most requiring a passing score on the Praxis Series of the Educational Testing Services. Along with a successful score on the PSETS, potential speech therapists will need to have roughly three-hundred and seventy-five hours of supervised clinical experience as well as nine additional months of postgraduate professional experience. In some states, however, a potential speech therapist will need also need to acquire the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCCSLP for short) to meet the requirements for a license to practice speech therapy. The CCCSLP is offered by the American Speech Language Hearing Association and can be earned through having a graduate degree from an accredited university as well as 400 hours of clinical experience and a complete thirty-six week postgraduate clinical fellowship.

Respiratory therapists and respiratory therapy technicians both have very similar career paths and entry requirements into the job. Respiratory therapy helps diagnose and treat people with respiratory problems such as emphysema or asthma. Generally, respiratory therapists earn more and have more responsibilities and technical expertise than respiratory therapy technicians. Education and Licensing The specific requirements for licensing vary by state; however, most states require both respiratory therapists and technicians to be licensed and meet the minimum educational standards. Generally, respiratory therapists may enter the field with only a two-year degree in respiratory therapy. In most states licensure is granted after passing a state or National Board for Respiratory Care Certified Respiratory Therapist or the Registered Respiratory Therapist exam. Respiratory therapy technicians generally only need to complete a one-year certificate program in respiratory therapy. Some states also require technicians to pass the National Board for Respiratory Care Certified Respiratory Therapist or equivalent state examination for licensure."

The ventricles push low pressure returning venous blood into the lungs to expel carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen. The newly oxygenated blood then enters the atria to be pumped back round the body at a higher pressure The first is that the heart pumps blood by using the air you breath in. Next is oxygen fuels brain cells that you need to live. Finally it helps filter your blood.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

In Australia, Registered Nurses manage almost all aspects of day to day to care in the ICU, including ventilators (obviously in collaboration with physiotherapists and intensivists). Are RT's common in US ICU's, and if so how is their contribution to the patient more beneficial/cost effective/whatever than that provided by an RN? I'm not having a go at RT's, was just curious as I'm reading about all these diverse roles being undertaken by non-nursing staff in the US that are usually carried out by RN's in other countries (staff such as RT's, Anaesthesia Assistants, Surgical Technicians, etc etc etc). Thanks, Steve Last edit by steve0123 on Jun 30, '04114 Comments Topic Closed1 2 3 4... Next »Jun 30, '04IMHO.... Respiratory therapists are an invaluable part of the team...their roles are to manage the vents, provide any breathing treatments, therapies ordered, intubate, assess trach patients, suction prn, have input on the plan of care, interact with the dr's, nurses on patient outcomes...and much much more. They go through 2 yrs minimum of schooling. Where nurses have a broad teaching RT's are more intense on the lungs and how they relate to the rest of the body. Their typed POC's are impeccable.

Rheostat has 3 terminals and usually consist of a resistive wire wrapped to form a toroid coil with a wiper that slides along the surface of the coil. It is most often designed with a ceramic core. Rheostats are used in applications that require high voltage and current. As a result of the reduction of size and power consumption in many of today’s electrical devices rheostats, once are very common item in commercial and industrial products, have been replaced by potentiometers. However there are still many applications that require a device that can be used to handle significant power and for these applications a rheostat is a very good choice.

It’s easy for places like zoos to build and maintain a very good habitat because of their money. People on a limited budget don’t have the luxury that wealth brings. There are books out there on how to build terrariums but they talk mostly about substrates, plants, and how to set up a few of the basic necessities. Misting the tank 3-4 times a day doesn’t cut it for those of us with school or work. What we need is information we can us that actually works. This is why I’ve been trying to stay active online because I think I can help solve some of the mysteries. Anoles do fine even with a little deviance in the humidity level but with the perfect setup we could see the average life span of anoles increase. Humidity: The first thing to consider when choosing a home for your pet is what kind of humidity it will need. Anoles are tropical and require moderate to high humidity, 60-75%."

"text": "Home & Garden Home Maintenance Electrical Q: What Is the Function of an LDR? A: Quick Answer A light dependent resistor, or LDR, varies resistance in a circuit based on how much light shines on it. When fully illuminated, the LDR has no resistance and current flows freely, but with darkness the resistance increases and current flow stops. In most circuit designs, the LDR acts like an on/off switch based on how much light shines on it. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is the Function of a Resistor? How Does an LDR Work? What Is a Linear Resistor? Full Answer There are two types of photo conductors used in an LDR. The intrinsic type uses material that has free electrons available to carry a charge and represents the most common form of LDR. The extrinsic type uses materials that require an impurity to carry a charge."

"text": "The resistor whose electrical resistance value can be adjusted as per requirement by adjustable component attached to it is called variable resistor. Definition of Variable Resistor It is an electronic component. It is applied in an electronic circuit for adjusting circuit resistance to control voltage or current of that circuit or part of that circuit. The electrical resistance is varied by sliding a wiper contact along a resistance track. Sometimes the resistance is adjusted at preset value as required at the time of circuit building by adjusting screw attached to it and sometimes resistance can be adjusted as when required by controlling knob connected to it. The active resistance value of the variable resistor depends upon the position of the slider contact on the resistance track. It mainly consists of a resistance track and a wiper contact. The wiper contact moves along the resistance track when adjustable component is adjusted. There are mainly three different types of resistance track used in this resistor they are carbon track, cermet (ceramic and metal mixture) track and wire wound track. Carbon track and cermet track are used for high resistance application whereas wire wound track is used for low resistance variable resistor."

"text": "Amir Emir, works at Electrical Engineering Answered Jan 26, 2018Originally Answered: What is the use of a rheostat? The construction of rheostat is almost similar to the potentiometer. Like the potentiometer, the rheostat also consists of three terminals: terminal A, terminal B and terminal C. However, we use only two terminals: either A and B or B and C. Terminal A and terminal C are the two fixed terminals connected to both ends of the resistive element called track and terminal B is the variable terminal connected to the sliding wiper or slider. Difference between potentiometer and rheostat The construction of both the potentiometer and rheostat is same. The main difference is the way we used it for operation. In potentiometers, we use all the three terminals for performing the operation whereas in rheostats, we use only two terminals for performing the operation. Rheostat is generally used in the applications where high voltage or current is required. Rheostats are used in dim lights to change the intensity of light. If we increase the resistance of the rheostat, the flow of electric current through the light bulb decreases. As a result, the light brightness decreases."

There is a growing misconception that this is safe to do, but the logic behind it is flawed. Let me explain: A fan that has no speed control when manufactured has copper windings inside that determine speed and horsepower. These windings are fixed and unchangeable, and wired to be operated at a certain voltage, with a fixed amount of amp draw. I will explain how this works, but first I want to dispel the reasoning behind this misunderstanding. 1. Why do they sell fan controllers at hardware stores?

One type, which uses potentiometer kind of thing and regulate the speed by dropping the voltage across resistances kept in series of fan. For different speeds, different sets of registers are used in series with fan. Thus for more resistors in series, more voltage will drop in resistors and lesser voltage will drop across fan. This lesser voltage across fan (say 150 V in place of standard 230V) will reduce the fan speed. In such type of regulator power consumption will be equal at all speeds, as same power loss will be there in all cases. Voltage drop across resistors will generate heat inside regulator. These types of regulators were rarely used now. Now a days different type of regulator is used which uses triac as regulator. It controls the flow of current by changing the firing angle."

There are over 100 different types of arthritis, which fall into two main divisions: inflammatory arthritis and non-inflammatory arthritis. People with lupus may experience inflammatory arthritis as part of their lupus, but may also have other common types of non-inflammatory arthritis, such as osteoarthritis. It’s important to sort out which kind of arthritis a lupus patient has. What is arthritis? Arthritis is any condition that causes pain and/or swelling in the joint. Before diagnosing arthritis, a rheumatologist needs to determine if the pain is actually in the joint, or in the surrounding soft tissues. For example, someone with shoulder pain might have pain coming from a tendon that passes over the shoulder, rather than the joint itself. Once it is determined that the source of the pain is actually the joint, the type of arthritis is then clarified. As noted, some specific types of arthritis are lupus arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and osteoarthritis."

It most often starts in the small joints of the hands and feet, and usually affects the same joints on both sides of the body. More than 90% of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develop symptoms in the foot and ankle over the course of the disease. Description Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system attacks its own tissues. In RA, the defenses that protect the body from infection instead damage normal tissue (such as cartilage and ligaments) and soften bone. How It Happens The joints of your body are covered with a lining — called synovium — that lubricates the joint and makes it easier to move. Rheumatoid arthritis causes an overactivity of this lining. It swells and becomes inflamed, destroying the joint, as well as the ligaments and other tissues that support it. Weakened ligaments can cause joint deformities — such as claw toe or hammer toe."

Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease that causes arthritis of the spine. Swelling occurs between the discs of the spine and in the joints between the spine and pelvis. Ankylosing spondylitis is more prevalent in men than women, and it frequently runs in families. Ankylosing spondylitis may cause the spine to become rigid and inflexible if bones start to grow together. Hip, shoulder, knee, and ankle joints may also be affected. Ankylosing spondylitis often causes pain and stiffness at night and in the early morning, or after any prolonged period of immobility. How is Ankylosing Spondylitis Diagnosed? Ankylosing spondylitis is typically diagnosed by rheumatologists who are doctors specializing in problems involving joints, soft tissues, and autoimmune diseases.

Rheumatolgists and Other Specialists Invovled in Medical Care for Lupus By Jeri Jewett-Tennant, MPHUpdated February 06, 2018Share Pin Email Print BSIP / Getty Images What kind of doctor treats lupus? It's a common question for those who may have or have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or another form of lupus. Since most people with lupus end up seeing a number of different specialists, it can be helpful to explore the types of specialists who may be involved in your comprehensive medical care. Rheumatologists (Autoimmune Disease Specialists)Typically, lupus is treated by rheumatologists. Rheumatologists are internists or pediatricians (or both) that specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and other diseases of the joints, muscles, and bones, as well as certain autoimmune diseases, including lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatologists are first to board certified in internal medicine, a program which requires at least three years of medical residency after medical school. This is followed by a fellowship for a few years in Rheumatology after which they may become board certified in rheumatology. Your Health Care Team with Lupus We will begin by talking about the role your rheumatologist will have in your care, but most of the time you will have a team of physicians and therapists who will help you control the symptoms of your disease as well as its limitations. These other specialists will be discussed later on, but it's important to mention this at the beginning as you consider a rheumatologist."

"text": "Fibromyalgia and Social Security Disability The condition of fibromyalgia has received increasing attention in recent Social Security disability court decisions. The cases generally require the ALJ to evaluate carefully the effect of medically-documented fibromyalgia on a claimant’s ability to work. The following summary of cases includes only those cases where the issue of fibromyalgia was central to the court’s decision. Cases where the ALJ properly evaluated the claimant’s fibromyalgia condition or properly obtained vocational expert testimony as to the claimant’s residual functional capacity are not included in the summary. Detailed excerpts from several of the referenced cases are provided for the reader’s convenience and to facilitate understanding of the disabling nature of this disease. Rulings Social Security Ruling 99-2p SSR 99-2p, pertaining to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (“CFS”), recognizes the “considerable overlap” between the symptoms present in CFS and fibromyalgia. It explains that individuals with CFS who have tender points have a medically determinable impairment, and that claimants with impairments that fulfill the American College of Rheumatology criteria for Fibromyalgia (which includes a minimum number of tender points) may also fulfill the criteria for CFS. However, SSR 99-2p explains, even in cases where the claimant does not have the tender points sufficient to establish fibromyalgia, they will still be found to have a medically determinable impairment. Thus, in SSR 99-2p, SSA has clarified that fibromyalgia which is documented by tender points, as exists here, indeed, is a medically determinable impairment as defined in the regulations. Social Security Ruling 96-3p SSR 96-3p provides that symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, weakness or nervousness, will not be found to affect an individual’s ability to do basic work activities unless the individual first establishes by objective medical evidence (i.e., signs and laboratory findings) that he or she has a medically determinable physical or mental impairment and that the impairment could reasonably be expected to produce the alleged symptoms."

"text": "New Fibromyalgia Blood Test is 99% Accurate Posted on July 30, 2013 in Diseases & Conditions, Fibromyalgia A new blood test for fibromyalgia is more accurate than previously thought and will not confuse the chronic pain disorder with other diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, according to the physician who developed the test. “We have not seen any overlap between the biomarkers in fibromyalgia and the immune system patterns of patients with rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. That really takes the air out of the sails of any naysayers that are out there,” said Bruce Gillis, MD, founder and CEO of Epic Genetics, a bioresearch company based in Santa Monica, CA. Image courtesy of Epic Genetics Epic Genetics introduced the FM test in March, calling it the first definitive blood test for fibromyalgia, a poorly understood disorder that is characterized by deep tissue pain, fatigue, headaches, depression and lack of sleep. Test results are usually available in about a week. The FM test looks for protein molecules in the blood called chemokines and cytokines, which are produced by white blood cells. Fibromyalgia patients have fewer chemokines and cytokines in their blood, according to Gillis, and as a result have weaker immune systems than normal patients. Critics have said the same immune system biomarkers can be found in people with other illnesses, such as rheumatoid arthritis, making the blood test unreliable. However, in new research involving over 300 patients with either fibromyalgia, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, Gillis said only fibromyalgia patients were found to have below normal levels of chemokines and cytokines. “They do not have the same immune system biomarkers."

ADAM GAULT/SPL/Science Photo Library/Getty Images Back doctors are not all created equal. Numerous medical specialties exist for a person with spine pain, and unless you understand the various types, picking out the one (or ones) who can treat you effectively can quickly become overwhelming. Who do you turn to, and when? Here's the short list: Family and General Practitioners When your neck or back pain first starts, your family doctor or GP is probably your best bet. She may prescribe some pain killers, give you a few exercises to do and possibly send you to a physical therapist. If she deems your problem a serious one, she'll likely order diagnostic tests and/or refer you on to a specialist such as a rheumatologist or neurologist. But family doctors can be slow to include new back treatments as they come out, according to a 2006 study published in Spine Journal. Other than taking your medical history and giving you a physical exam, which are two staples of spine diagnosis, the study found that even as new recommendations were published by leading medical organization, physicians did not adopt them into their practices. Because of this, taking a pro-active approach when shopping for spine care may be helpful to you."

Make sure you give a good description of pain, any stiffness and joint function. Your GP may examine your joints including checking for bony swellings, joint tenderness, instability, excess fluid, creaking joint (crepitus) and restricted movement. They may check your muscles too, especially for muscle thinning. The factors which may lead the GP to suspect OA include:being over 50 years of agepersistent joint pain which gets worse if you use your joints morehaving stiffness in the joints in the morning lasting less than half an hour If your symptoms are slightly different from those listed above, your GP may think you have another form of arthritis. For example, if you have joint stiffness in the morning that lasts longer than an hour, you may have a more inflammatory form of arthritis. Further tests Further tests such as X-rays can confirm osteoarthritis, although an X-ray may not be needed. An X-ray can show bony spurs, the narrowing of spaces between bones or whether calcium has settled into a joint. X-rays cannot indicate the degree of pain you might feel."

After four years of medical school and three years of training in either internal medicine or pediatrics, rheumatologists devote an additional two to three years in specialized rheumatology training. Most rheumatologists who plan to treat patients choose to become board certified. Upon completion of their training, they must pass a rigorous exam conducted by the American Board of Internal Medicine to become certified. What Do Rheumatologists Treat? Rheumatologists treat arthritis, certain autoimmune diseases, musculoskeletal pain disorders and osteoporosis.

Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are known to cause what are called myopathies -- the medical term for diseases that affect skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are the muscles connected to your bones. An example of a skeletal muscle is your biceps in the upper arm, or the quadriceps in the thigh. Myopathies most often are seen in what are known as the proximal muscles. These are the muscles, such as in the thigh and shoulder area, that are closest to the center of the body. In myopathies caused by inflammation or metabolic conditions, such as autoimmune thyroid disease, white blood cells may attack parts of the muscle and the surrounding blood vessels, or abnormal levels of certain biochemical substances end up accumulating in your muscles, leading to weakness or pain. Different thyroid conditions can also be associated with particular types of muscle and joint problems. Muscle and Joint Pain With Hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism can create a variety of muscle and joint-related symptoms.

Lupus is generally treated with drugs that suppress the immune system. T most common maintenance drug is Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine). Steroids and non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used as well. In cases of major organ involvement chemotherapies, biologics and disease modifiying medications will be used depending on the organ that is involved.

Psoriasis is a chronic skin and nail disease characterized by red, scaly rashes and thick, pitted fingernails. About one-third of children with psoriasis will have psoriatic arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis is a form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and is characterized by chronic joint inflammation and swelling, as well as an increased risk for asymptomatic eye inflammation. Psoriatic arthritis accounts for approximately 6 percent of all cases of juvenile arthritis. Causes Although the cause of psoriatic arthritis is unknown, factors such as immunity and the environment may play a role. Genetics also appear to be involved: 40-80 percent of children with psoriatic arthritis have an affected first- or second- degree family member, such as a sibling, parent, grandparent or aunt/uncle. Signs and symptoms The symptoms of psoriatic arthritis vary from child to child and range from mild to severe. Psoriasis is just one symptom of psoriatic arthritis, and not all children with psoriatic arthritis have the psoriasis skin rash."

However, if symptoms develop gradually over time, as is often the case with lupus, the diagnosis may not be as obvious and there may be visits to multiple physicians before a diagnosis can be confirmed.

Since lupus can cause damage to any part of the body, other specialists may be necessary such as a: Dermatologist - a doctor who specializes in diseases of the skin such as cutaneous lupus Cardiologist - a doctor who specializes in diseases of the heart Nephrologist - a doctor who specializes in diseases of the kidney Neurologist - a doctor who specializes in diseases of the brain and nervous system Gastroenterologist - a doctor who specializes in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract Pulmonologist - a doctor who specializes in diseases of the lungs Perinatologist - a specialized obstetrician/gynecologist who focuses on complicated and high-risk pregnancies The Lupus Foundation of America has a national network of local chapters that can provide a list of physicians in their service area who diagnose and treat lupus.

"text": "Introduction Dr. Theodore Fields began his presentation by identifying arthritis as one of the most common symptoms of lupus, with about 90% of patients who have lupus developing arthritis at some point. There are over 100 different types of arthritis, which fall into two main divisions: inflammatory arthritis and non-inflammatory arthritis. People with lupus may experience inflammatory arthritis as part of their lupus, but may also have other common types of non-inflammatory arthritis, such as osteoarthritis. It’s important to sort out which kind of arthritis a lupus patient has. What is arthritis? Arthritis is any condition that causes pain and/or swelling in the joint. Before diagnosing arthritis, a rheumatologist needs to determine if the pain is actually in the joint, or in the surrounding soft tissues. For example, someone with shoulder pain might have pain coming from a tendon that passes over the shoulder, rather than the joint itself. Once it is determined that the source of the pain is actually the joint, the type of arthritis is then clarified. As noted, some specific types of arthritis are lupus arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and osteoarthritis."

ADAM GAULT/SPL/Science Photo Library/Getty Images Back doctors are not all created equal. Numerous medical specialties exist for a person with spine pain, and unless you understand the various types, picking out the one (or ones) who can treat you effectively can quickly become overwhelming. Who do you turn to, and when? Here's the short list: Family and General Practitioners When your neck or back pain first starts, your family doctor or GP is probably your best bet. She may prescribe some pain killers, give you a few exercises to do and possibly send you to a physical therapist. If she deems your problem a serious one, she'll likely order diagnostic tests and/or refer you on to a specialist such as a rheumatologist or neurologist. But family doctors can be slow to include new back treatments as they come out, according to a 2006 study published in Spine Journal. Other than taking your medical history and giving you a physical exam, which are two staples of spine diagnosis, the study found that even as new recommendations were published by leading medical organization, physicians did not adopt them into their practices. Because of this, taking a pro-active approach when shopping for spine care may be helpful to you."

"text": "What is a Rigger? The traditional definition of a rigger is a person that uses hoists and pulleys. The industry extends the term, however, to define anyone engaged in the lifting, moving and transporting, positioning, pulling and securing of heavy equipment, machines and oversized loads. A rigger moves loads varying in size, weight and shape such as manufacturing machines in factories, X-ray machines in hospitals, and storage silos on farms. A rigger uses cranes, overhead lifting gear, pulleys, load moving dollies, hydraulic jacks, and flat bed trucks. A rigger is primarily found in industrial and commercial industries such as in oil, gas, mining, ship building, construction, manufacturing, power and telecommunication, hospitals, etc.. Rigging is the work a rigger performs. Many riggers also provide mechanical, electrical, plumbing and general repair, installation and maintenance services in addition to moving machinery. A millwright is a rigger in a mill. The Rigging Industry: When trying to classify the heavy load moving industry it is best if we break it down into 3 major service providers; The Load Movers, the Trucking Companies, and the Crane Companies.1. The Load Movers (The hands on guys on the ground)These load movers are divided into Machinery Movers & Erectors, Millwrights, and Riggers."

Herein lies my issue, while I did buy some good 16oz trolling weights many moos ago, I've never used them, nor have I been on a boat that has run them in their spread. So, I have a few questions: How do I rig them inline? Will be using a wire leader for the wahoo, so do I just rig them in between the snap swivel and the bait? Also, how much wire leader in between the weight and the bait? What type of skirts can I run, just the bullet head type, or are others able to run as well? How deep will these baits run? How far back can I run them? Speed?"

Where in the rule can I find this information? Section 1926.1427 of the new rule describes crane operator certification/qualification requirements.

The Society of the Plastics Industry Inc. has signed contracts to keep NPE at the Orange County Convention Center in 2018 and 2021, and the trade association also has reserved dates for NPE 2024 in Orlando. The news comes as NPE 2015 kicks off in Orlando this week, bringing an expected 60,000 visitors and more than 2,000 exhibitors to the Sunshine State — and according to SPI, pumping $151 million into the Orlando economy through hotels, meals and entertainment, cab rides and other spending. “NPE 2015 is expected to be the largest, most successful international plastics showcase in our 69-year history,” said Bill Carteaux, SPI president and CEO. This is the second NPE in Orlando; the first was in 2012. In addition to revealing the NPE schedule through 2024, Carteaux also disclosed a previously unreported story: SPI and Chicago government and union leaders held talks in 2013 on alternating NPE locations between Orlando and Chicago. Those talks were not successful. “There was negotiation back and forth for several months, and the bottom line was we couldn’t reach a mutually agreeable understanding to start a rotation,” Carteaux said. “ In the fall of 2013 we went back to Chicago and said, ‘We’d like to talk to you about starting a rotation of NPE between Chicago and Orlando, in 2021.’”At the time, SPI already had locked into Orlando for 2015 and 2018.“We had in-depth discussions,” Carteaux said. SPI was committed to making a decision by Jan. 1, 2014."

I work in downtown DC near the old Woodies department store building and there are two large cranes that I was watching just now. They are close enough that I think their booms could collide if they swung together at the wrong time. This got me thinking about the difficulty of operating these giants. Just how much are these guys paid? And do they have to climb the entire way up to the cab or is there an elevator?

He said that the crane operators were the highest-paid guys on site, and that their official income was A Fucking Lot Of Money.

"text": "\"Inspecting Your Boat's Mast and Rigging Surveying Your Rig: What to Look For and Why Whenever a mast tumbles overboard, the two seemingly obvious offenders are the mast itself — the aluminum extrusion — and the wire stays and shrouds that support the mast. In practice however, these are rarely the culprits. The offenders, in most cases, are the tangs, turnbuckles, and chainplates and the smaller, but no less significant, screws, bolts, terminal fittings, clevis and cotter pins that hold everything together. These can be inspected in a couple hours or less. All you need for an inspection is a magnifying lens, a mirror, some toilet paper, your fingernails, a boatswain's chair, and a pair of reasonably good eyes. Download the Rigging Checklist in PDF format. Fittings Whenever you inspect a fitting, look for obvious problems like rust and distortion and use the magnifying glass to find smaller cracks. Rust, especially rust that you can feel, and even slight distortions or cracks should be considered serious, and the component replaced. Use your fingernails to feel for cracks and check the thinnest part of the fittings extra carefully, as this is where failure is most likely to occur. If a fitting has been painted (a bad idea), strip off the paint."

"text": "A rigger can do a number of different things, depending on which industry he or she is employed in. Numerous sectors including entertainment, manufacturing, and the military sector have job positions known as “riggers” and people in these positions do very different things. All of the senses of this word have their origins in the days of sail, when people responsible for setting and maintaining the sails were known as riggers, named for the rigging which was used to hold the sails up and control them. This provided sailors with a set of unique skills which proved to be useful on land as well. In industry, a rigger is someone who moves heavy loads, or who deals with placement of heavy machines. This includes people who work on construction sites, individuals who install heavy and specialized equipment like MRI machines, and so forth. Riggers of this type can use equipment which might have been familiar to sailors centuries ago such as block and tackle haulers, in addition to cranes and other more sophisticated equipment. This type of job is learned through apprenticeship, and requires physical fitness, a high degree of skill, and the ability to work cooperatively. The entertainment industry also has a place for riggers. Riggers who work in entertainment handle the installation of sets, and any movement which needs to happen, including moving set pieces and actors on flies."

"text": "“The Hindenburg” (1975): Fact & Fiction TOPICS: film hindenburg Posted By: Dan Grossman June 10, 2010The Hindenburg is a 1975 film directed by Robert Wise about the German zeppelin Hindenburg and the Hindenburg disaster of May 6, 1937. The basic plot of the movie — that the zeppelin was sabotaged by an anti-Nazi crew member — is entirely fictional, but the film’s detailed sets and its depiction of life on board the airship are remarkably accurate. The movie was part of the 1970’s “Disaster Film” genre which included Airport (1970), The Poseidon Adventure (1972), The Towering Inferno (1974), and Earthquake (1974). The Hindenburg follows the “Grand Hotel” formula, which involves a large cast of characters whose stories and subplots are revealed as the film moves toward a dramatic conclusion. Most of the characters in the film are based on historical figures, who have been dramatized with considerable poetic license in some cases. The Main Characters Colonel Franz Ritter ( George C. Scott)Based on Colonel Fritz Erdmann Fritz Erdmann | “Franz Ritter”The character of Franz Ritter is based on Luftwaffe Colonel Fritz Erdmann, but unlike the fictional Ritter, there is no evidence that Col. Erdmann had any duties relating to security during Hindenburg’s last flight. It was common practice for both German and American military officers to fly aboard Hindenburg to study flight operations, navigation procedures, and weather forecasting techniques, and there is no reason to believe that Erdmann had any other function during the flight. ( Erdmann was commandant of the aviation section of the German Military Signal Communications School, in Halle an der Saal, and was accompanied on Hindenburg’s last flight by two other Luftwaffe officers, Major Hans-Hugo Wit t and Lieutenant Claus Hinkelbein . ) One incident in the film does mirror historical fact; shortly before departure, Erdmann did summon his wife to the ship for one final farewell."

"text": "Rappelling is an often under-appreciated skill for use in an emergency situation and one that could potentially save your life one day. A common misconception of rappelling is that it’s only for fun and thrill seekers of all kinds. While it’s that and much more, my hope is that after this article you’ll start to think more outside of the box about applications for Rappelling. I recently had an opportunity to join Kyle Mc Cleery, the head of Trident Response ’s Search and Rescue department, to film an overview of some things to keep in mind when setting up an urban rappel and the equipment you’ll need to make it happen. This article isn’t going to cover exact rappelling technique, but more the setup of anchors within urban environments. We’ve previously shared the video Kyle and I filmed on ITS, but if you haven’t had the chance to check it out yet, I’ve embedded it below: As you’ll see in the video above, Kyle and I go over options for anchors, knots, rope, webbing and more to try and cover all the bases in regards to what you’ll need to know. However, no article or video is a replacement for real hands-on training when it comes to something like Rappelling. While the techniques we discussed aren’t much different than setting up an outdoor rappel, there’s a few things you’ll want to keep in mind when it comes to setting anchors. That being said, below I’ve expanded on the video with some written information that reviews the principles discussed in the video and also goes a bit more in-depth in some areas. The reason we’ve taken the time to go over an urban setup with rappelling in the first place, is because it’s a different animal."

Osmosis To understand the purpose and process of Reverse Osmosis you must first understand the naturally occurring process of Osmosis. Osmosis is a naturally occurring phenomenon and one of the most important processes in nature. It is a process where a weaker saline solution will tend to migrate to a strong saline solution. Examples of osmosis are when plant roots absorb water from the soil and our kidneys absorb water from our blood."

"text": "Reverse Osmosis (RO) Process Water Treatment This short paper looks at the use of reverse osmosis (RO) in process water treatment applications and considers the process itself, the use of reverse osmosis membranes, and factors affecting water quality and plant performance. Reverse osmosis is a process that industry uses to clean water, whether for industrial process applications or to convert brackish water, to clean up wastewater or to recover salts from industrial processes. Reverse osmosis will not remove all contaminants from water as dissolved gases such as dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide not being removed. But reverse osmosis can be very effective at removing other products such as trihalomethanes (THM’s), some pesticides, solvents and other volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). The reverse osmosis process In the reverse osmosis process, cellophane-like membranes separate purified water from contaminated water. RO is when a pressure is applied to the concentrated side of the membrane forcing purified water into the dilute side, the rejected impurities from the concentrated side being washed away in the reject water. RO can also act as an ultra-filter removing particles such as some micro-organisms that may be too large to pass through the pores of the membrane. RO membranes Common membrane materials include polyamide thin film composites (TFC), cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose triacetate (CTA) with the membrane material being spiral wound around a tube, or hollow fibres bundled together. Hollow fibre membranes have a greater surface area and hence capacity but are more easily blocked than spiral wound membranes. RO membranes are rated for their ability to reject compounds from contaminated water."

In the wild these orchids grow attached to trees or rocks and the roots are mostly exposed rather than buried deep in the earth. Evolution has surrounded the orchid roots with a thin membrane called a velamen. This membrane not only helps the roots grab onto the surface where it is growing, but more importantly it helps to soak up the water quickly when it is available."

Alkaline water full of life-giving micro and macro minerals not only makes water taste better, but is also vital to your health and well-being according to the World Health Organization (WHO) in its book, Nutrients in Drinking Water. It’s especially important to add minerals to Reverse Osmosis (RO), distilled, and even some purified bottled waters, because they are often stripped of minerals and may even be acidic as I discussed in this recent post, “Are You Unknowingly Drinking ‘Dead’ Water Void of Essential MInerals?” But you may also want to find a way to filter and enrich plain tap water as well. Here are some easy ways to make your water more alkaline and mineral-rich whether you are at home, at work, or on the go. You may find that a combination of these solutions works best for you.

"text": "\"Chloramine is a disinfectant put into many municipal water supplies. In recent years it has often replaced chlorine for two main reasons. The first is that it is much longer lasting, so it continues to provide a disinfectant action in supply pipes, where chlorine typically loses its capacity to disinfect. The second is that it does not react with organics nearly as readily as does chlorine. The reaction products of chlorine and organics (chlorinated organics) are very toxic to people, and water supply operators elect to use chloramine to reduce this toxicity. Unfortunately for aquarists, dealing with chloramine in tap water is not as easy as dealing with chlorine. The chlorine in tap water can be eliminated just by letting the water sit for a few days prior to use. This is not the case for chloramine, and aquarists MUST take active steps to eliminate it. This article describes what chloramine is, what it does that is a problem in aquaria, how to test for it, and how to rid water of chloramine. It also reports on a survey study of aquarists using reverse osmosis/deionization systems (RO/DI) for purification of their water."

The small percent of silver in the solder prevents the silver on the leads from migrating into the solder resulting in a weak or brittle solder connection. Pin Holes: Pin holes often appear on the surface of solder joints. How are they formed? Pin holes are formed as a result of moisture entrapment. All that is required is a tiny amount of moisture. When the solder comes in contact with the through-hole, component lead, wire or whatever is being soldered, the water boils and it forms a gas bubble that will either escape or be trapped as the solder solidifies.

The principal constituents are usually the cations calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium and the anions carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulphate and, particularly in groundwater, nitrate . TDS is expressed in units of mg per unit volume of water (mg/L) or also referred to as parts per million (ppm) Permissible range of TDS in drinking water: Different government has different regulations for the TDS level. The U. S. EPA sets the maximum contaminant level for TDS 500 ppm where as WHO has different prescribe limits. An aesthetic objective of ≤500 mg/L has been established for total dissolved solids (TDS) in drinking water by WHO. At higher levels, excessive hardness, unpalatability, mineral deposition and corrosion may occur. At low levels, however, TDS contributes to the palatability of water.

A modification amends a Section 218 Agreement to extend Social Security and Medicare coverage to new groups of employees, identifies new political subdivisions joining a public retirement system, corrects errors in previous modifications, implements changes in Federal or State law and, under very limited circumstances, excludes services or positions previously covered. Modifications are often referred to as 218’s, or 218 Agreements. Although, it should simply be understood that each State has only one “original” Section 218 Agreement—most likely created between 1951 and 1956, and any service subsequently covered after the effective date of the original agreement, is covered by a uniquely numbered modification to that Agreement.2.

"text": "Water Desalination History, Advances, and Challenges Tuesday, December 20, 2016Author: Manish Kumar, Tyler Culp, and Yuexiao Shen Desalination is the removal of salt and contaminants from water. It involves a broad range of technologies that yield access to marginal sources of water such as seawater, brackish ground- and surface water, and wastewater. Given the reduction in access to fresh water in recent decades and the uncertainty in availability effected by climate change, desalination is critical for ensuring the future of humanity. This paper describes advances toward more sustainable desalination and exciting directions that could make this technology more accessible, energy efficient, and versatile. It reviews the emergence of membranes as the preferred technology for desalination, recent advances, challenges to its sustainable implementation, and needs for further research. Introduction Desalination represents a promise of near unlimited water supply and is an attractive potential solution to the age-old conundrum of seawater abundance and practical inaccessibility for potable use. It now encompasses the removal of both salts and dissolved contaminants from various sources such as seawater, brackish surface and groundwater, and industrial and municipal wastewaters. The primary descriptor of importance for desalination processes is the amount of dissolved solids (primarily inorganic salts) represented by the total dissolved solids (TDS; the solids left over after water is evaporated from particle-free water). Table 1 lists the typical range of TDS levels in waters subjected to desalination-based water treatment processes (Australian NWC 2008). Table 1In addition to being a measure of usability (such as for consumption), TDS levels determine the bounds for the minimum energy needed to remove these solutes from water (or to move water away from these solutes)."

"text": "To control microbial growth, RO systems must be chemically sanitized on a regular basis. Prior to sanitation, it is important to chemically clean the first-pass RO system. This will help to disrupt any biofilm that protects viable bacteria from contact with the sanitant. It also removes foulants that will react with and chemically deplete the sanitizing agent.. Typically this is done in a two-step process. The first step commonly involves the use of an acid cleaner such as citric acid to remove the inorganic foulants. Next, a high-p H cleaner such as sodium hydroxide is used in order to remove organic foulants. Then the system is sanitized with one of the following agents: formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, or peracetic acid/hydrogen peroxide. It is important to consult the manufacturer of the RO system to determine the correct concentrations of the chemicals that are compatible with the membranes in the system and always rinse with Purified Water before changing chemicals. Both cleaning and sanitation processes consist of four steps. First, the cleaning chemical is mixed with permeate water in a clean-in-place (Cl P) tank."

Put some bleach (chlorine) into stage-1 housing, and then close up all the housings. Feed cold water into the RO system, which will send the chlorine to all parts of the system. Then allow the chlorinated water to stay (soak) in the RO and tank for about 5 hours to disinfect and sanitize. Then drain out the chlorine water from RO and tank.

Luckily, antibiotics and other medicine can treat most water-borne diseases. What is more worrying is the presence of arsenic and other heavy metals such as cadmium, zinc and mercury. These metals cause metabolic disruptions and damage the nervous system and kidneys irreversibly. They are also known to cause cancers of colon, liver, kidney and lung. Arsenic has been found to be way above the 0.01 mg/litre WHO guideline value and 0.05 mg/litre Indian standard of arsenic in drinking water in some parts of West Bengal, Bihar, UP, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh.

There are, however, a few very good reasons for why ROS is preferred. 1) Inter-platform operability: ROS message-passing means that you can work between very different components and subsystems that are probably running with different languages (maybe something like low-level hardware control with C for speed, and high-level state machines with Java or Python for ease of coding). This also gets around the problem of the mess of APIs you would have had to deal with before. 2) Modularity: Since things are connected by a distributed message system, if one component crashes, your whole system doesn't crash. Granted, there are plenty of ways to make your system more robust so that this doesn't happen in the first place, but ROS makes it easier for your robot to continue doing its thing even if two sensors and an arm motor have died (for example). 3) Concurrent resource handling: Without ROS, reading/writing to resources quickly becomes a mess with large multi-threaded systems (i.e. virtually any robotics application). Again, there are ways to deal with this, but ROS simplifies the whole process by ensuring that your threads aren't actually trying to read and write to shared resources, but are rather just publishing and subscribing to messages. I'm sure there are other reasons (open source development being one of them), but for me, those are the big three for why ROS is nice to have."

Engineering was defined at the beginning of this unit as the application of practical and scientific knowledge to the solving of a problem through the use of a methodical process. Discussed above were some different types of knowledge that engineers apply to solving a problem, but the process itself has not been mentioned. What methodical process do engineers use to solve problems? The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers follow when they are trying to solve a problem and design a solution for something; it is a methodical approach to problem solving. This is similar to the “Scientific Method” which is taught to young scientists. There is no single universally accepted design process. It seems as though most engineers have their own twist for how the process works. The process generally starts with a problem and ends with a solution, but the middle steps can vary. One can think of the engineering design process as a recipe for banana bread; it can be made a lot of different ways but it’s usually going to start with bananas and it’s going to end with a loaf of bread."

"text": "\"I recently wrote an article for Scientific American called 'Robots with Heart'. In the piece, I described our work into incorporating an 'empathy module' into robots in order for them to better serve the emotional and physical needs of humans. While many readers offered ideas on how we might apply these empathetic robots to medical or other applications, some objected to the very idea of making robots recognize and empathize with human emotions. One reader opined that, as emotions are what make humans human, we really should not build robots with that very human trait and take over the care-giving jobs that humans do so well. On the other hand, there are others who are so enthusiastic about this very idea that they ask me, \"\"If robots are intelligent and can feel, will they one day have a conscience? \"\" Perhaps it is important for us to understand what it means by robot intelligence and feeling. It is important for us to understand, first of all, how and why humans feel. Human emotion What is the role of emotion in the evolution of our species? Research has shown that humans bond with other humans by establishing a rapport. The survival of a species depends on that bonding, and much of this bonding is enabled by emotion."

Who will teach these robot soldiers the rules of engagement? By Simon Parkin16 July 2015On a green hill overlooking the tree-lined perimeter of Daejeon, a city in central South Korea, a machine gun turret idly scans the horizon. It’s about the size of a large dog; plump, white and wipe-clean. A belt of bullets – .50 calibre, the sort that can stop a truck in its tracks – is draped over one shoulder. An ethernet cable leads from the gun’s base and trails through the tidy grass into a small gazebo tent that, in the Korean afternoon heat, you'd be forgiven for hoping might contain plates of cucumber sandwiches and a pot of tea. Instead, the cable slithers up onto a trestle table before plunging into the back of a computer, whose screen displays a colourful patchwork of camera feeds. One shows a 180-degree, fish-eye sweep of the horizon in front of us. Another presents a top down satellite view of the scene, like a laid-out Google Map, trained menacingly on our position. A red cone, overlaid on the image, indicates the turret’s range."

Its profile as both rival and collaborator for Boeing’s Puget Sound plants is rising with each new mission. By Dominic Gates Seattle Times aerospace reporter NORTH CHARLESTON, S. C. — On the way home from his job at Boeing South Carolina, a young engineer stops to explain why he moved last year from the company’s Puget Sound operations to this rising counterpart in the South. “I sensed the writing on the wall in Seattle, that most of the opportunities would be here,” the engineer says. On his company polo shirt, the slogan “Made with Pride in South Carolina” hints at the positive profile Boeing has developed here. “When I’m out wearing this shirt, people ask me how to get a job at Boeing,” he says. “ They’re excited. ”The South Carolina site, which last month delivered its 100th 787 Dreamliner, has expanded from manufacturing the 787 to designing and producing parts for the 737 MAX and the forthcoming 777X. It now boasts a growing research center with nearly 400 engineers doing work that was moved from the Puget Sound region. The site is a vital supplier to Boeing’s Washington state plants, with every 787 assembled in Everett including huge sections of fuselage from North Charleston. Yet South Carolina is also a rival for future work."

From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons. Artificial intelligence today is properly known as narrow AI (or weak AI), in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. only facial recognition or only internet searches or only driving a car). However, the long-term goal of many researchers is to create general AI (AGI or strong AI). While narrow AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, AGI would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task. Why research AI safety? In the near term, the goal of keeping AI’s impact on society beneficial motivates research in many areas, from economics and law to technical topics such as verification, validity, security and control. Whereas it may be little more than a minor nuisance if your laptop crashes or gets hacked, it becomes all the more important that an AI system does what you want it to do if it controls your car, your airplane, your pacemaker, your automated trading system or your power grid."

"text": "\"Automaton Robotics Military Robots22 Jan 2014 | 17:05 GMTU. S. Army Considers Replacing Thousands of Soldiers With Robots The United States Army could slash personnel numbers and toss in more robots instead By Evan Ackerman Photo: Boston Dynamics Boston Dynamics designed the LS3 \"\"robot mules\"\" to help soldiers carry heavy loads. Advertisement Last week at the Army Aviation Symposium, in Arlington, Va., a U. S. Army officer announced that the Army is looking to slim down its personnel numbers and adopt more robots over the coming years. The biggest surprise, though, is the scale of the downsizing the Army might aim for. At the current rate, the Army is expected to shrink from 540,000 people down to 420,000 by 2019. But at last week's event, Gen. Robert Cone, head of the Army's Training and Doctrine Command, offered some surprising details about the slim-down plans. As Defense News put it, he \"\"quietly dropped a bomb,\"\" saying the Army is studying the possibility of reducing the size of a brigade from 4,000 soldiers to 3,000 in the coming years. To keep things just as effective while reducing manpower, the Army will bring in more unmanned power, in the form of robots. From the Defense News story:“I’ve got clear guidance to think about what if you could robotically perform some of the tasks in terms of maneuverability, in terms of the future of the force,” he said, adding that he also has “clear guidance to rethink” the size of the nine-man infantry squad. “When you see the success, frankly, that the Navy has had in terms of lowering the numbers of people on ships, are there functions in the brigade that we could automate—robots or manned/unmanned teaming—and lower the number of people that are involved given the fact that people are our major cost,” he said."

"text": "How To ›Web Design & Dev How Meta Tags Really Affect Your Website Do Meta tags really have an impact on your website's SEO rankings? Share Pin Email Printby Jeremy Girard Updated March 18, 2017Meta Tags are an important, but often misunderstood, aspect of web design. Meta Tags contain information or “metadata” about your website. This information, which is in the <head> of an HTML document, is not meant to be read by the people that visit that site, but is intended for browsers, web servers, and search engines. Now, you may have noticed that “search engines” were included in the aforementioned list. Yes, search engines do read a site’s metadata, but they do not use that information in their search ranking algorithms any longer. Years ago, search engines did use Meta Tags as one of the signals that influenced rankings, but rampant abuse of these tags destroyed their use as a rankings signal in all major search engines today. This causes confusion for many people who may have once been told that they had to “change their Meta Tags” in order to improve search engine rankings, but who have not kept up with changes in SEO practices and do not realize that, while still valuable in many ways, Meta Tags no longer have impact on search engine rankings. So what do Meta Tags do now and how do they help a site be optimized for people? Here’s a rundown of the most common Meta Tags used on websites and exactly what their purpose is."

Never before had a media-streaming device been so portable and so cheap; Chromecast was the disruptive wave the space needed.

It constantly hangs when trying to turn it on and when trying to stream on demand shows on Sling. I can connect the same TV to my laptop with an HDMI cable and can watch on demand shows without any problems. Sometimes while watching streaming shows that are not on demand the TV will suddenly freeze up and the screen goes red like it does when starting up. You can't connect an internet cable to this TV to increase the internet speed. I turn off all other devices using my internet except a video doorbell and still can't watch on demand. It buffers and will never play, My Internet with a cable is 40 Mbps and around 12 Mbps using wireless. I have another TV with a Roku 3 that works fine so there is something wrong with the TV. I have set my Sling settings to the lowest quality resolution and still doesn't stream on demand. Another really annoying thing about this TV is a light on the front that stays on."

However, their design should be taken into account when choosing a device, as you want to be sure it’ll fit where you want to put it. In terms of size, the Chromecast is the shortest and stoutest of the bunch, coming in at 72mm x 35mm x 12mm. At 84.9mm x 25mm x 11.5mm, the Fire TV Stick is the longest and most slender, and the Roku sits comfortably in the middle at 78.6mm x 26.8mm x 11.3mm. The 34g Chromecast is also the heaviest of the three, weighing nearly twice as much as the 18g Roku Streaming Stick and 9g more than the Fire TV Stick. This is despite Amazon’s device being laden with 8GB storage and 1GB RAM and a dual band antenna, compared to the Chromecast’s 512MB RAM, 2GB storage and single band antenna."

Maybe the retailer should throw in a Fire TV Stick for a one-year renewal, and the new Fire TV box, reviewed here, if you commit to two years of Prime. The Fire TV is designed, first and foremost, not to give you the streaming TV shows and movies you want from various providers like Netflix, Hulu and others, but to entice you to watch Amazon's own streaming content. As I trudged through Amazon's underbrush using the device's menu system, I half expected a video of a zombie to pop up and tell me about a half-price offer on The Walking Dead, Season 6, available now on Amazon Instant Video. This hard sell is embodied in the menus and search results, and it's one big reason reason I like other devices better, especially Roku. These days all streamers have mostly the same apps, but no other device pushes you harder than Amazon to use their respective video stores. Compared to Amazon, Apple TV has a relatively light touch promoting the i Tunes store, and Google's Chromecast and Android TV basically soft-pedal Google Play Movies and TV. I did say \"\"mostly\"\" the same apps. Apple and Google streamers lack a native Amazon app, which is why, according to Amazon, those devices were booted from the retailer's virtual shelves. If you own a lot of Amazon content or want to take full advantage of Prime streaming, Roku (which does have a native Amazon app) and Fire TV are your best bets among mainstream streamers."

"text": "\"Review: Microsoft's Miracast-Powered Wireless Display Adapters Two wireless wires Nov 1, 2014Paul Thurrott EMAILTweet Comments 33Microsoft's sudden embrace of Miracast with the release of not one but two slightly different wireless display adapters has made the past month pretty interesting. The good news is that both adapters work well and offer solid, reliable connections. So here are some thoughts about how you might choose between the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter and the Microsoft Screen Sharing for Lumia Phones HD-10. Microsoft Screen Sharing for Lumia Phones HD-10 (left) and Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter (right)Spoiler alert: You may not even need one of these adapters. If you own a Roku 3 or Roku Streaming Stick, they were very recently updated with Miracast capabilities, and in my testing the Roku solution is just about as seamless and the connection as solid as that offered by the Microsoft devices. Spoiler alert #2: If you don't already have a Roku 3 or Roku Streaming Stick, you will almost certainly want to get one of those instead of one of these Microsoft devices. Each Roku is far more capable than any standalone Miracast adapter and neither is particularly expensive. Amazon, for example, is selling the Roku 3 for $85 right now, and the Roku Streaming Stick is just $49. The HD-10 isn't available yet, but the Microsoft Display Adapter is $45. So for $4 more you can get a dedicated remote with no need for a mobile device and access to tons of built-in services like Netflix, Hulu and Google Play."

"text": "What is Miracast and Why Should I Care?by Chris Hoffman on November 6th, 2014Miracast is a wireless display standard designed for mirroring a smartphone, tablet, or PC’s screen to a television without requiring any physical HDMI cables. It’s becoming more widespread with each passing day. The Roku 3 and Roku Streaming Stick recently gained support for Miracast. Amazon’s Fire TV and Fire TV stick also do Miracast. Microsoft it even selling two Miracast dongles of its own, for some reason. Miracast is Like a Wireless HDMI Cable RELATED: Wireless Display Standards Explained: Air Play, Miracast, Wi Di, Chromecast, and DLNAMiracast is a standard that hopes to one day banish the need for HDMI cables. Rather than physically connecting your laptop, smartphone, or tablet to a TV like you would with an HDMI cable, Miracast provides a wireless standard that allows devices to discover each other, connect to each other, and mirror the contents of their screen wirelessly. Unlike protocols like Apple’s Air Play (on the Apple TV) and Google’s Chromecast (on the Chromecast and Android TV devices), Miracast is designed to be a cross-platform standard. Check out our comparison of Air Play, Miracast, Wi Di, Chromecast, and DLNA to understand the differences between all these different protocols. Miracast functions exclusively as a “screen mirroring” protocol."

"text": "Ten tips to get the most out of your new Chromecast Janko Roettgers Dec 21, 2013 - 8:00 AM CDT58 Comments Tweet Share Post So you got yourself a Chromecast, either as an early holiday gift, or you just bought it for yourself. You unpacked it, installed it, watched a bit of Netflix (S NFLX) or You Tube, (S GOOG) and now you are wondering: What else can I do with this? A lot, actually. Chromecast offers access to media through a growing list of apps ( 14 at the time of writing ), and there are a whole bunch of neat ways to get additional functionality out of the device. We’ve compiled ten of the best Chromecast tips and tricks below:1. Turn on your TV from your mobile device One of the coolest things about Chromecast is that it can turn on your TV, and even change to the right HDMI input, when you start casting music or videos from your mobile device — no TV remote required. That’s because Chromecast uses a little-known technology called HDMI-CEC that is supported by most modern TVs. Some TVs require you to change some settings before Chromecast can make the remote control obsolete. However, some TVs don’t have CEC enabled by default, so you might have to dive into the settings and look for CEC options to turn on. Unfortunately, not every TV maker calls it by that name, so you may have to scour for Anynet+ (Samsung), Bravia Link or Bravia Sync (Sony), Simplink (LG), Viera Link (Panasonic), Regza Link (Toshiba) or similar terms and then try to enable options to power the TV and switch input (as seen in the photo above)."

"text": "Most people who buy a Roku think it’s one of the best inventions ever. However, quite a few Roku users complain about problems keeping the device connected to their home Wi Fi networks. Fortunately, there are some easy steps you can take to fix these issues. This post may contain affiliate links; please read my disclosure here. Roku Wi Fi Issues Make It Hard to Enjoy Netflix or Amazon Videos You may have Roku Wi Fi issues if the show or movie you’re watching stops, usually with a message such as “connecting” or “transferring.” You might also see a message that says Roku has lost its Wi Fi connection. Rebooting the Roku can temporarily resolve the problem, but it keeps coming back. This might happen even if your Roku says it has a strong signal from your Wi Fi router. One commonly suggested fix for Roku Wi Fi problems is to forget the wireless connection and directly connect a LAN cable from the Roku to your home network. Easier said than done for most people!Maybe your home network equipment (Wi Fi router, cable or DSL modem, etc.)"

"text": "\"The original Roku TVs, the non-4K ones, have been among my favorite go-to budget picks for the last few years. The new 4K ones are great too, but not as good of a value as their lower-resolution counterparts. That's because 4K resolution by itself, as we at CNET have spent years documenting, does almost nothing to improve image quality on its own. There's very little difference in performance between these 4K sets and the cheaper non-4K versions, despite all those extra pixels. Then again, if you want a 65-inch Roku TV, your only option is to go 4K, and the 65-inch TCL 65US5800 is a great value. But for the 50-, 55- and 43-inch sizes, the standard 1080p Roku TVs are better deals. The best part about these TVs is that Roku's superb platform is baked right into the TV's operating system, offering the simplest interface and the most apps of any smart TV on the market. Like the Roku 4 streaming box, they have access to more 4K streaming services than any non-Roku device, including Netflix, Amazon Instant, You Tube, Vudu, Fandango Now (formerly M-Go) and more. The TVs aren't compatible with HDR, which unlike 4K actually does improve picture quality, but that's not a surprise at this price.18TCL UP130 Roku TV (pictures)These sets' main competition, aside from other Roku TVs, comes from the 4K sizes in Vizio's D and E series. The pricing is comparable, but from what I've seen the Vizios deliver better picture quality largely thanks to their local dimming backlights."

A hundred bucks covers the basics across all three boxes, including remote and power supply (none include an HDMI cable, however, so remember to factor that in if you don’t have a spare). Amazon Fire TV costs another $40 if you’re eyeing the optional game controller, a necessary purchase if you want access to Fire TV’s library of first- and third-party games. Roku sells less powerful boxes for $80 and $50, too. Fire TV is primarily for Amazon Prime users. Unlike Roku or Apple TV, Amazon’s interface has Amazon Prime DNA pretty much embedded throughout, and that’s an annual service that costs another $99 (bringing your total all the way up to $240, plus the recurring subscription fee, if you opt for the Fire TV gamepad). You can buy a Fire TV and use it for Netflix or Hulu, of course, but everything else about the Fire TV, from voice search to interface layout, is organized to push Amazon’s services."

But there some important differences that might make each device slightly better suited to different people. We'll have a full review of the Fire TV stick soon; you can check out our Roku and Chromecast reviews as well. But in the meantime, there's still plenty to dissect as far as what each of these streaming dongles can offer. Specs Specs aren't everything, but it's worth noting that the Fire TV Stick is positively juiced compared to its competitors. It's got 8GB of built-in flash storage and 1GB of memory, compared to 2GB of built-in storage and 512MB of memory on the Chromecast, and 256MB of storage and 512MB of memory on the Roku Streaming Stick. That extra memory should make the Fire TV Stick cruise faster than its competitors. The built-in storage might not mean much—these are built for streaming more than storing—were it not for Amazon's ASAP service, which automatically downloads stuff Amazon predicts you're likely to watch so that you don't have to wait for the content to buffer. Additionally, the Fire TV Stick uses dual-band Wi-Fi, where the others only have single band Wi-Fi. Still, rumor has it the Chromecast is about to get a Wi-Fi boost."

Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same as the cheaper model, which is a good thing. You get the user-friendly Roku OS; an RF remote works through walls and lets you search with voice and control your TV’s volume and turn the TV on and off; and the i OS or Android app lets you watch shows and movies with headphones to avoid disturbing others. Finally, it’s super-easy to set up and gets all the power it needs from your TV’s USB service port. It’s a fantastic update to what was already an excellent streaming device."

HGIC 1726Printer Friendly Version (PDF)Many homeowners in South Carolina want to know what can be grown, if anything, over their septic drain field. As an increasing number of people move into rural areas throughout the state, this issue becomes more common. A septic system represents a significant investment, so some understanding of its workings will allow a homeowner to protect and care for his investment properly. Proper care and maintenance of the septic system will save time and money while protecting the environment. How a Septic Drain Field Functions Understanding how a septic system functions is essential to making sound decisions about how to best landscape over the drain field. A standard septic tank will separate solids from liquids. The liquid effluent, or wastewater, will then flow from the tank into a series of drain lines that allow the effluent to slowly percolate down through the soil in the drain field."

There’s nothing quite as satisfying as actually working with the earth. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. No matter where you live, you will face some fundamental challenges when it comes to your tomatoes. Assuming you’ve figured out your staking system, the most important thing you’ll need to consider while growing tomatoes in the ground is your local soil quality. Good dirt equals good tomatoes. Soil quality ranges wildly from region to region—even from field to field. Lower elevations might have compacted, heavy soil, while coastal regions are often sandy with higher salinity (salt) levels. The first step is to determine exactly what type of soil you’re dealing with. Talk to growers in your area, or check out the local agricultural extension office."

I won't be planting anything, using an ocassional potted plant instead. I have a roll of 6 mil (heavy) plastic sheeting on hand and wonder whether it could be used as the weed barrier beneath the rocks/stones. Or would mildew, mosquitos and/or other problems arise from the lack of drainage? Alternative suggestions appreciated as well. Thanks in advance... Email Save Comment 6 Like Comments (6)The_Mohave__Kid (Nevada)In theory with regards to drainage a landscape fabric would be a better choice .. the best are fabrics contain herbicides that supposed to last for a long time. I don't like the sheeting in regards to drainage unless ofcourse you add holes. In reality the material below the rocks will NOT keep weeds away ... and in time the material works it way to the surface and is a big pain in the butt. The best thing you can do is keep the area dry and well drained and plan on some regular weed control. Good Day ....

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: No you do not want to put down fabric under sod It will not allow the sod to root as deeply and the weeds will germinate in the sod and soil anyway Use a good pre-emergent followed by a fertilization program and spot treatment for weeds - best treatment for weeds is a healthy lawnstinkinggenius2003 · 9 years ago2 0 Comment Landscape fabric will not bother the roots. All the fabric does is inhibit weed growth. Keep in mind that the fabric is not a weed killer as well as keeping in mind that the weeds will show up regardless of the fabric. You are putting top soil and sod on top of the fabric, this is an open invitation to weed growth no matter what you do. Planting as you have described is pretty much a waste of both cloth and money and will serve no real purpose."

The system is an important boundary layer that separates the organism from the outside world. It is the largest organ of the human body. As such, it has multiple functions that include:1. Protective – the skin is a water-resistant barrier that protects against dehydration, abrasions, UV light and toxins.2. Immunological – the skin serves as a passive barrier to pathogens but also contains antigen-presenting cells.3. Sensory – nerve receptors within the skin relay information about the environment.4."

The first significant rain in three years! ( Take note those considering moving here from climates blessed with rain). Why that 12 inches cannot be spread out evenly over a month or two continues to baffle us gardeners. That is ok, we are inventive and can adapt our gardening design and style.

"text": "\"THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER - http://www.oilhealer.com/bloodbrain.cfm By David Stewart, Ph. D.,R. A. It was thought for years that the interstitial tissues of the brain served as a barrier to keep damaging substances from reaching the neurons of the brain and the cerebrospinal fluid. Instead of a barrier, it would be more accurate to consider it as a sieve or filter through which only molecules of a certain size or smaller can pass. Most of the molecules of the substances used in chemotherapy are too large to pass through the blood-brain filter, which is why doctors say that chemotherapy doesn't work on brain cancer. Some of the smaller molecules get through, but not the whole suite of drugs intended. Doctors don't know for sure, but it seems that in order to cross the blood-brain barrier, only molecules less than 800-1000 atomic mass units (amu) in molecular weight can get through. Lipid solubility seems to be another factor which facilitates passing through the blood-brain barrier. Water soluble molecules don't usually penetrate into brain tissue, even when very small. The molecules of essential oils are all not only small, but lipid soluble as well. In fact, when it comes to essential oils, small molecules (less than 500 amu) are what they are made of."

There are a few different methods for safely removing the grass from the ground around trees.

This native plant can grow as either a large shrub or small tree, and it has long, fernlike leaves that turn a variety of gorgeous colors in autumn. The real challenge of this plant is its size and growth habit. Rhus typhina can grow over 20 feet high but is more a gigantic shrub than a tree. It spreads laterally by vigorous suckering, forming dense multi-stemmed thickets. It is an impressive plant to build a garden around, but never try to garden under it. Rhus typhina 'Laciniata'The cultivar 'Laciniata' is an unusual cutleaf form of Rhus typhina, the staghorn sumac, which was selected from the wild population and propagated for garden use. ' Laciniata' resembles the wild form in all parts except its leaves which, like all leaves in this species, are pinnately compound—that is, leaflets are arranged in pairs along a central stalk. However, unlike ordinary Rhus typhina, 'Laciniata' leaflets are finely \"\"cut,\"\" giving a textured, feathery look. The common name staghorn sumac refers to the antler-like curve of the stems as well as the reddish-brown velvety fuzz covering the younger (upper) stems."

Nope, there is always room for more -- Harry Styles is indeed known for his extensive body art collection. The tattoo-addicted singer continues to add more designs, as he was showing off his latest inks, hanging out poolside topless with his British pals Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof last weekend. Check out all of his 53 tattoos below and discover the significant meanings behind them!1. \"\" Love\"\" banner on chest Before getting covered up by a pair of swallows, Styles had a simple black and white banner with the word \"\"Love\"\" inked inside on the left side of his chest, over his heart. One Directioners believe that the singer covered it to both literally and figuratively hide his love.2. Crosses with the letters \"\"M\"\" and \"\"K\"\" below them on chest Harry Styles has two tiny crosses inked next to one another with the capital letter \"\"M\"\" below one and \"\"K\"\" below the other on the left side of his chest. He is assumed to be Catholic, since he often sports a necklace with a crucifix on it and was seen wearing a medal featuring St. Christopher, who is the patron saint of travelers in the Catholic religion. It seems like the singer's cross tattoos are tied to his religious beliefs, as well as a tribute to a beloved family member or friend.3. \"\" Might as well...\"\" on waist The British boybander got a tattoo on the lower left side of his waist in early 2013 that reads \"\"Might as well...\"\" in small black letters."

The three golden lions on a red background, symbolising England, occupy the first and fourth quarters. The Arms of Scotland, a red lion rearing on its hind legs inside a red border, are in the second quarter, and the Arms of Ireland's golden harp with silver strings on a blue background - are in the third quarter. The lion and the unicorn supporting the shield represent England and Scotland respectively. They stand on a small frame called the compartment which sometimes incorporates the plant emblems of Scotland (thistle), Ireland (shamrock) and England (rose). The Compartment also has the sovereign's motto usually Dieu et mon droit (\"\"God and my right\"\"). Around the shield is a belt or strap with the motto Honi soit qui mal y pense (\"\"Evil to him who evil thinks\"\"), the symbol of the Order of the Garter. Above the shield is the gold barred helmet with the crest, a royal crown topped with a golden crowned lion. The Royal Arms we see today have evolved over nine centuries, since Richard 1st (the Lionheart) chose a shield of three lions to represent the three areas England, Normandy and Aquitaine - which were associated with the English crown. His Mother was Eleanor of Aquitaine (wife of Henry II) and his great great gandfather was William 1st (the Conqueror) Duke of Normandy."

Some names have dozens of spelling variations. Some Surnames were also altered over the years based on how they sounded phonetically, by their sound, and depending on the prevailing political conditions it may have been advantageous to change a name from one language to another.

The star and crescent is an iconographic symbol used in various historical contexts but most well known today as a symbol of the former Ottoman Empire and, by popular extension, the Islamic world. It develops in the iconography of the Hellenistic period (4th–1st centuries BCE) in the Kingdom of Pontus, the Bosporan Kingdom and notably the city of Byzantium by the 2nd century BCE. It is the conjoined representation of the crescent and a star, both of which constituent elements have a long prior history in the iconography of the Ancient Near East as representing either Sun and Moon or Moon and Morning Star (or their divine personifications). Coins with crescent and star symbols represented separately have a longer history, with possible ties to older Mesopotamian iconography. The star, or Sun, is often shown within the arc of the crescent (also called star in crescent, or star within crescent, for disambiguation of depictions of a star and a crescent side by side); [1] In numismatics in particular, the term crescent and pellet is used in cases where the star is simplified to a single dot. [ 2]In Byzantium, the symbol became associated with its patron goddess Artemis / Hecate, and it is used as a representation of Moon goddesses ( Selene / Luna or Artemis / Diana) in the Roman era. Ancient depictions of the symbol always show the crescent with horns pointing upward and with the star (often with eight rays) placed inside the crescent. This arrangement is also found on Sassanid coins beginning in the 5th or 6th century CE."

Following the Christianization of Rome under the emperor Constantine, the rose became identified with the Virgin Mary. [ 1] The rose symbol eventually led to the creation of the rosary and other devotional prayers in Christianity. [ 2]Islam and Sufism [ edit]The cultivation of geometrical gardens, in which the rose has often held pride of place, has a long history in Iran and surrounding lands. [ 3] [4] In the lyric ghazal, it is the beauty of the rose that provokes the longing song of the nightingale [5] - an image prominent, for example, in the poems of Hafez. [ 6]In turn, the imagery of lover and beloved became a type of the Sufi mystic's quest for divine love, so that Ibn Arabi, for example, aligns the rose with the beloved's blushing cheek on the one hand and, on the other, with the divine names and attributes. [ 7]Other well-known examples of rose symbolism in Sufism include;The Sufi master Jilani is known as \"\"the Rose of Baghdad\"\" and his order, the Qadiriyya, uses the rose as its symbol."

"text": "\"International Heraldry & Heralds HOME MY ARMS / GENEALOGY NATIONAL HERALDRY HATCHMENTS EXAMPLES HERALDRY BOOKS FAQs Follow @Castles Of Europe Tweet Heraldry is the practice of devising, granting, displaying, describing, and recording coats of arms and heraldic badges. Officers of arms (Kings of Arms, Heralds and Pursuviants) practice heraldry and also rule on questions of rank or protocol. The origins of heraldry stretch back into ancient times. Warriors often decorated their shields with patterns and mythological motifs. Army units of the Roman Empire were identified by the distinctive markings on their shields (see left). These were not heraldic in the medieval sense, as they were associated with military units, not individuals or families. Truly heraldic devices seem to have been first used in Carolingian times. Seals and banners confirm that they were being used in the Flemish area of Europe during the reign of Charlemagne (768–814 AD). The emergence of heraldry as we know it today was linked to the need to distinguish participants quickly and easily in combat. Distinguishing devices were used on surcoats (\"\"coats of arms\"\"), shields, and caparisoned horses, and it would have been natural for knights to use the same devices as those already used on their banners and seals."

"text": "\"Society & Culture Languages What does \"\"Fleur De Lis\"\" mean? I think it's French. Only serious answers will get the ten points.2 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Fleur-de-lis is literally translated from French as \"\"flower of the lily.\"\" With the link provided you can check out what it looks like. The fleur-de-lis (also spelled fleur-de-lys; plural fleurs-de-lis or -lys; an archaic spelling is fleur-de-luce) is used in heraldry, where it is particularly associated with the French monarchy (see King of France). The fleur-de-lis remains an unofficial symbol of France (along with the Bees and the napoleonic eagle), but has not been used as an official symbol by the various French republics. It is also used by Various Scout organizations, worldwide as part of their logo. The variant fleur-de-luce has been interpreted as meaning \"\"flower of light\"\" since lux (oblique stem luc-) is Latin for \"\"light\"\". Origins The name translates into English as \"\"lily flower\"\", and the symbol is in fact a stylized Iris Pseudacorus l.. It was adopted by King Philip I of France in the 11th century. His grandson Louis VII was the first to adopt the Azure semé-de-lys Or (a blue shield with a tight pattern of small golden fleur-de-lis) as his badge, and this came to be so closely associated with his country that it is now known as \"\"France Ancient\"\"."

"text": "\"Symbols of Australia Symbols reflect cultural identities and facilitate cultural regeneration. They are used to define what the culture stands for and to help individuals feel an emotional connection to other individuals of the past, present and future. For a country with a short urban history and small population, Australia has a high number of symbols; however, reflecting Australia's diversity, these symbols do not have uniform acceptance. The disproportionately high number of symbols can be attributed to the failure of top-down symbolism to exert compliance or conformity. For example, when ruling authorities tried to promote the Union Jack as a uniting symbol, many Australians reacted by creating their own symbols to defy the authorities and express their culture. Many of these symbols were in turn rejected by the government, which left Australia in a state of disunity and on the look out for new symbols. Today, top-down symbolism still defines much of Australian political life and still fails to exert conformity or compliance just as it failed in the past. In turn, Australians are still seeking new symbols. The Southern Cross The Southern Cross is one of the most visible constellations in the Southern Hemisphere and right from the early days of the colony, it was being used to represent Australia. Perhaps the colonists identified with the Christian connotations, and the idea that god was somehow watching over Australia."

The flag proposed by President Hugo Chavez features a white horse galloping left instead of right, an additional star, a bow and arrow representing Venezuela’s indigenous people and a machete to represent the labor of workers, among other changes. Chavez raised the new flag in a ceremony that was followed by a parade of thousands of soldiers and supporters, while his opponents held a smaller march to protest the new flag and coat of arms. “The white horse is now liberated, free, vigorous, trotting toward the left, representing the return of Bolivar and his dream,” Chavez said. The Venezuelan president, who is leading what he calls a “Bolivarian Revolution” to install socialism and help the poor, hoisted the flag, applauded and smiled as soldiers stood at attention during an outdoor ceremony on the 200th anniversary of Venezuela’s tricolor flag. The new flag and coat of arms will eventually be adopted in the currency, passports and government documents. Some are opposed Critics call the changes a waste of money. “ It’s a whim of the president,” said Lilian Luces, 54, who marched among nearly 2,000 government opponents.

Columbus and his men introduced the pineapple to Europe, but Europeans soon found that they could not grow pineapples in local climates; as such, they were imported from tropical areas and only the wealthy were able to afford them, which gave pineapples a certain prestige. It was this reputation that led to pineapples finding their way into European and American architectural designs of the 18th century on residential, public and sectarian buildings.

"text": "The Name of the Rose Umberto Eco1980Introduction Author Biography Plot Summary Characters Themes Style Historical Context Critical Overview Criticism Further Reading Introduction First published in Italy in 1980 as Il nome della rosa, William Weaver’s English translation of author Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose appeared in the United States in 1983, and in England in 1984. The novel, with its labyrinthine plot, deep philosophical discussions, and medieval setting, seemed an unlikely candidate for worldwide success. Yet by 2004, the book had sold more than nine million copies and had never been out of print. Critics and readers alike enthusiastically received The Name of the Rose, and the 1986 Jean-Jacques Annaud film, starring Sean Connery and Christian Slater, only fueled interest in the novel. If The Name of the Rose seems an odd choice for such critical and popular acclaim, Eco’s elevation into literary superstardom seems just as surprising. A scholarly university professor, Eco’s main fields of interest include semiotics, aesthetics, and medieval philosophy. Before The Name of the Rose, Eco was well-known among academicians as the writer of many scholarly books, particularly in the field of semiotics. No one could have predicted the furor caused by his debut novel; yet the well-drawn characters, the mysterious setting, and the detective-fiction plot continue to attract a diverse audience for the book. In addition, new critical studies of The Name of the Rose appear frequently, and there seems to be no slowing of critical interest. Rich, complicated, and multilayered, The Name of the Rose promises to be an important novel for study for years to come."

Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load."

"text": "\"The following script is from \"\"TED Talks\"\" which aired on April 19, 2015. Charlie Rose is the correspondent. Henry Schuster, producer. It has become a place where big ideas find a global audience. It is known simply as TED. And TED Talks are little presentations that anyone can watch online for free. There are TED Talks on almost every subject you can imagine: building your own nuclear reactor; stopping cyberbullies; exploring Antarctica; a better way to tie your shoes. But what sets TED Talks apart is that the big ideas are wrapped up in personal stories and they're mostly from people you have never heard of before. And it is those stories that have captured the imaginations of tens of millions of viewers around the world. Giving a TED Talk can be life-changing even if some speakers don't always realize what they're getting into."

"text": "Belindas Dream Roses Belindas Dream Roses: This rose was first bred in the Unites Stated in 1988 by Dr Robert Basye who lived in Texas and was a retired professor who taught mathematics at Texas A&M. He bred roses for well over 50 years and strived to create breeds that would be resistant to black spot, as well as be exceptionally hardy. He was also very fond of thornless roses. He created the rose Belinda's Dream by crossing a Jersey Beauty with the Tiffany hybrid tea rose. Belindas Dream Roses got their namesake from one of Dr Bayse's friends in Texas, who had a daughter named Belinda. This stunning rose is a shrub rose that is highly resistant to diseases, and being bred in Texas, it has an unusual tolerance to hot climates. Unfortunately that makes the rose Belinda's Dream a little less hardy to colder temperatures so this rose is more suited to zones 6 through 9. The blooms on this rose come out in a gorgeous medium pink hue and slowly fade to a light pink. They have a very pleasing fragrance that smells almost like raspberries and the bloom will average about 4 inches or so in diameter with a lot of petals, upwards of 50 to 100 per bloom. Growing Belindas Dream Roses: The rose Belinda's Dream is a repeat bloomer so if you dead head it after each bloom, you will get repeated flushes through the rest of the growing season. Rose growers frequently grow this rose to use for cut flowers, because the fruity fragrance certainly adds appeal to just about any bouquet you put them into."

"text": "Derrick Rose is the most interesting man at MSG, even if he isn’t the best player the Knicks have Mike Lupica NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Sunday, December 4, 2016, 1:39 AMfacebook Tweet email Derrick Rose is still only 28. ( Michael Reaves/Getty Images)There are nights when you watch the Knicks play, as they try to figure out who they are and what they might do this season, and you see what Derrick Rose was when he first came home to Chicago, and played basketball as if he were a streak of light. And there have been nights, absolutely, when the Knicks’ best team and their best chance came with Rose on the court, and with the ball. But a quarter of the way into this NBA season, one in which the Knicks have been more entertaining, especially at the ends of some of these close games, there is no way of knowing if Rose can ever again be a star of his league. Or if the Knicks are going to want him to stay. “My rhythm is coming,” Rose says, and I believe he’s right, even though the idea that the Knicks are already considering giving him a three-year extension – for 75 million or whatever it is – is ridiculously premature. Joakim Noah isn’t healthy yet, so there is no way of knowing if he will turn out to be a good or bad contract for Phil Jackson. It is still too early with Rose, too. But he IS healthy, as he tries to show that he still has enough game to be worth at least one more big contract in pro basketball. Derrick Rose has no plans to leave New York in free agency You give him all the room he needs for now, because it is so early."

"text": "What Is a Rotator Cuff Tear? In this Article Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Recovery A rotator cuff tear is a common injury, especially in sports like baseball or tennis, or in jobs like painting or cleaning windows. It usually happens over time from normal wear and tear, or if you repeat the same arm motion over and over. But it also can happen suddenly if you fall on your arm or lift something heavy. Your rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder joint and let you lift and rotate your arms. There are two kinds of rotator cuff tears. A partial tear is when the tendon that protects the top of your shoulder is frayed or damaged. The other is a complete tear. That’s one that goes all the way through the tendon or pulls the tendon off the bone. Symptoms You can’t always feel a torn rotator cuff."

The forces applied to a large tendon may be more than five times the body weight. In some rare instances, tendons can snap or rupture. Conditions that make a rupture more likely include the injection of steroids into a tendon, certain diseases (such as gout or hyperparathyroidism ), and having type O blood. Although fairly uncommon, a tendon rupture can be a serious problem and may result in excruciating pain and permanent disability if untreated. Each type of tendon rupture has its own signs and symptoms and can be treated either surgically or medically depending on the severity of the rupture and the confidence of the surgeon. The four most common areas of tendon rupture are as follows: Quadriceps A group of four muscles -- the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and the rectus femoris -- come together just above the kneecap ( patella) to form the patellar tendon. Often called the quads, this group of muscles is used to extend the leg at the knee and aids in walking, running, and jumping. Achilles This tendon is located on the back (posterior) portion of the foot just above the heel. It is the site of attachment of the calf muscle (gastrocnemius muscle) to the heel of the foot (the calcaneus bone)."

Adhesive capsulitis, or “frozen shoulder” is most commonly seen in women in their 40’s and 50’s. The cause is not fully understood, but may be related to stress, and is certainly more aggressive in patients with diabetes. The joint lining, deep to the rotator cuff, becomes inflamed and results in loss of range of motion. Treatment involves anti inflammatories, either by pill or injection, and physical therapy. Rarely, surgical release of the capsule and manipulation of the joint many be recommended. Arthritis, or loss of the cartilage covering the ball and socket, may as well be the cause of a stiff shoulder. Some patients may experience a loss of range of motion secondary to rotator cuff issues, including calcific tendonitis.

"text": "\"Shoulder Problems after Dislocation Print The rotator cuff at risk After shoulder dislocation, a patient usually feels immediate relief after having his or her shoulder reassembled. But pain and other symptoms often linger in older men and women because of changes that occur in the aging shoulder. Over time, the muscles and tendons that form the rotator cuff become weak and brittle. These changes make the rotator cuff much more likely to tear if you dislocate a shoulder or have a related injury. Among people 40 and older, shoulder dislocations cause a torn rotator cuff in anywhere from 35 percent to 86 percent of cases. A 2012 U. K. study published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery found that women 60 and over who dislocate shoulders in falls have the highest risk for tearing a rotator cuff (as well as fracturing a bone, especially in the upper arm). By contrast, younger people who dislocate shoulders are more likely to damage other supporting tissues, such as the labrum, a type of cartilage that helps stabilize the head of the humerus. In addition to shoulder dislocations, simple stress and overuse is a major cause of rotator cuff tears, too. If you play sports that require a lot of throwing or other overhead arm movements, such as baseball, tennis or swimming, you may be at risk for rotator cuff problems. The same is true if you perform manual labor that involves similar repetitive movement of the shoulders, such as house painting and carpentry."

"text": "\"Shoulder Cartilage and Tendon Injuries Overview The shoulder is the meeting place of 3 bones: the shoulder blade (scapula), arm bone (humerus), and collar bone (clavicle). The main shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) is a ball-and-socket joint that is formed by the rounded shape at the top of the arm bone fitting into a cup-shaped socket (glenoid) in the shoulder blade. It is your most moveable joint, allowing you to raise, twist, and bend your arm forward, to the side, and behind. This flexibility, however, makes your shoulder vulnerable to injury and overuse wear and tear. Most of the time, problems are caused by muscles, tendons, and ligaments, rather than bones. Tendinitis and/or tears of the tendon (s), such as the rotator cuff and the biceps tendon, are some of the most common shoulder problems. Many people with shoulder pain have problems with several structures in their shoulder. For example, people with bursitis or tendinitis may also have rotator cuff and labrum (cartilage) tears.

B. Although recent research suggests that ‘rotator cuff tendinopathy’ is a more appropriate term to describe overuse injuries to the rotator cuff tendons, we will use the term ‘rotator cuff tendonitis’ in this document as it is more widely known. What is rotator cuff tendonitis? Rotator cuff tendonitis is a condition characterised by damage, degeneration and disorganisation of one or more of the rotator cuff tendons (figure 1). Figure 1 – Relevant Anatomy for Rotator Cuff Tendonitis (Subscapularis not shown)The rotator cuff is a group of muscles which originate from the shoulder blade and attach to the upper arm bone (humerus) via the rotator cuff tendons (figure 1). Collectively, the rotator cuff act to provide stability to the shoulder joint and assist with elevation and rotation movements of the shoulder. The 4 muscles of the rotator cuff include: Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Subscapularis Teres Minor During contraction of the rotator cuff muscles, tension is placed through the rotator cuff muscles and tendons. When this tension is excessive due to too much repetition or high force, damage to the rotator cuff tendons may occur. Rotator cuff tendonitis is a condition whereby there is damage, with subsequent inflammation and degeneration to one or more of the rotator cuff tendons. This is usually due to gradual wear and tear associated with overuse, however, it may also occur traumatically due to a specific incident. The rotator cuff muscle that is most commonly affected in rotator cuff tendonitis is the supraspinatus."

"text": "Definition: A rotator cuff tear involves a disruption of the tendon fibers from their insertion into the humeral head. Tears can either be partial thickness or full thickness, depending on whether or not the tear extends all the way through the tendon substance. Full thickenss tears likely represent the end result of a partial thickness tear that wears thorugh. Any one of the rotator cuff tendons can tear. The most common tendon involved in rotator cuff tears is the supraspinatus tendon. This tendon is positioned between the humeral head and the acromion bone which provides a roof above the ball and socket joint. If tears progess and enlarge, they may extend either to the back (infraspinatus tendon) or the front (subscapularis tendon). The biceps tendon also courses over the humeral head and may secondarily be injured by the same factors that cause a rotator cuff tear. Causes/Risk Factors: Age: as we age, our tendons lose strength because their internal ability to heal and regenerate decreases. Damage that accumulates from repetitive use therefore is more likely to result in a tear compared to younger patients whose tendons are stronger."

Last updated: February 4, 2013 Edited by: Winston J. Warme, M. D., Associate Professor, UW Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Frederick A. Matsen III, M. D., Professor, UW Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Contact If you have questions regarding the ream and run procedure, feel free to email Frederick A. Matsen III at [email protected]. Overview Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (arthritis with a massive rotator cuff tear) is a devastating condition that seriously compromises the comfort and function of the shoulder. This condition is characterized by the permanent loss of the rotator cuff tendons and the normal surface of the shoulder joint. These tissues cannot be restored to their normal condition and the lost comfort and function of the shoulder cannot be totally regained. However in the hands of an experienced surgeon and in a well-motivated individual shoulder replacement surgery with a cuff tear arthropathy (CTA) head prosthesis along with post-surgical rehabilitation can help restore substantial comfort and function to shoulders damaged by cuff tear arthropathy. When the rotator cuff is essentially intact shoulder arthritis is often best treated by total shoulder replacement. If you have questions regarding this procedures please feel free to email Dr Matsen at [email protected]. More detail about shoulder arthritis with a massive rotator cuff tear and the treatment options can be found below. In the normal shoulder the rotator cuff muscles including the supraspinatus help balance the ball of the arm bone (humeral head) in the socket against the upward pull of the deltoid muscle. ["

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

This is why surgery is only performed as a last resort for chronic conditions or severe rotator cuff injury. Rotator cuff surgery is generally not considered until all conservative treatment options have been exhausted. Or there is a complete tear in one or more of the muscles comprising of the rotator cuff. Unless it is a highly severe or complete tear, doctors, orthopedic specialists and physical therapists will advise that you try at least 6 or more months of conservative therapy with no sign of improvement before surgery will even be considered.

One of these conditions is an injury to a small structure in the shoulder called the labrum. A labral tear can cause pain and a catching sensation in the shoulder. Labral tears can be very difficult to diagnose. This document will help you understand:where and what the labrum iswhat tests your doctor will run to diagnose the problemwhat you can do to relieve your pain Anatomy What is the labrum? The shoulder is made up of three bones: the scapula (shoulder blade), the humerus (upper arm bone), and the clavicle (collarbone). A part of the scapula, called the glenoid, makes up the socket of the shoulder. The glenoid is very shallow and flat. The labrum is a rim of soft tissue that makes the socket more like a cup."

Shoulder hurt? Don't put this off. Here are some treatment methods and exercises for a successful recovery. If you've ever suffered from a rotator cuff injury you know just how painful and frustrating it can be. Not only does it likely stop you from working out, but even doing simple every day activities can pose to be a challenge. Rotator cuff injuries are probably one of the most frequent injuries experienced by athletes and non-athletes because there are so many different tendons and ligaments surrounding your shoulder. The rotator cuff muscles include the supraspinatus, the infraspinatus, the subscapularis and the teres minor, all of which are innervated by the subscapular and axillary nerves. The tendons of the rotator cuff combine to form one large band that is a 5 layer-structure. Most of the tears that occur to the cuff are the result of chronic, ongoing degeneration that results from the coracoacromial arch. This is composed of the bony acromion, the coracoacromial ligament and the coracoid process."

The joint cavity is cushioned by articular cartilage covering the head of the humerus and face of the glenoid. The scapula extends up and around the shoulder joint at the rear to form a roof called the acromion, and around the shoulder joint at the front to form the coracoid process. The end of the scapula, called the glenoid, meets the head of the humerus to form a glenohumeral cavity that acts as a flexible ball-and-socket joint. The joint is stabilized by a ring of fibrous cartilage surrounding the glenoid called the labrum. Ligaments connect the bones of the shoulder, and tendons join the bones to surrounding muscles. The biceps tendon attaches the biceps muscle to the shoulder and helps to stabilize the joint. Four short muscles originate on the scapula and pass around the shoulder where their tendons fuse together to form the rotator cuff.

"text": "New From Sturm Ruger: BX-Trigger for 10/22 and 22 Chargerby Dan Zimmerman |Dec 16, 2014 |55 commentsfacebook twitter linkedin email The venerable Ruger 10/22 is perhaps the most customized factory firearm in the gunosphere. Look around and you’ll find everything from uber-tactical builds to “race rifles” to… I don’t know what. Lots of these frankenguns seem to have nothing left from the original out-of-the-box rifle other than maybe the name plate. If you have a custom build on your winter to-do list, Ruger’s new BX-Trigger (MSRP $89.95) is a drop-in option with a 2.75 pull you may want to consider adding for your plinking pleasure. Press release after the jump . . . Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) announces the launch of the BX-Trigger™: a light, crisp, “drop-in” replacement trigger assembly that is compatible with all Ruger® 10/22® rifles and 22 Charger™ pistols. The BX-Trigger is a Genuine Ruger Factory Accessory and is the perfect upgrade for all 10/22 rifles and 22 Charger pistol models because of the significantly reduced pull weight of approximately 2.75 pounds (versus 6 pounds on the standard 10/22 trigger).“We have made continuous improvements to the 10/22 over the years, but the BX-Trigger is an exciting performance advancement,” said Ruger President and COO, Chris Killoy. “ The BX-Trigger was designed for easy installation, superior performance, and legendary Ruger reliability. Like the popular BX-25® magazine for the 10/22, the BX-Trigger will deliver the excellence and value that shooters have come to expect from Ruger. ”The BX-Trigger is sold as a complete assembly that “drops in” to replace the existing trigger assembly, with no additional adjustment or “fitting” required."

It began in the black-powder era when it was introduced with Smith & Wesson's First Model revolver. At the time it was intended as a self defense round, but today its in the category of small varmint shooting and short-range gallery plinking..17 HM2 (.17 Mach II)Case Type: Rimfire, bottleneck Introduced: 2004 Made For: Rifle Cart Len: 1.000-in Case Len: 0.714-in Case Dia: 0.226-in Bul Dia: 0.172-in MV: From 2010 to 2100 ft/sec ME: From 152 to 166 ft-lb WT: From 17 to 17 grains Description: This cartridge is based on a .22 caliber LR rimfire case that is necked down to seat a 17 grain, .17 caliber Hornady V-Max bullet. Although the overall length of the .17 Mach 2 is the same as the .22 LR, the necked portion of the casing is extended to support the smaller projectile. Keeping the overall size the same as the .22 LR made it easier for manufacturers to re-tool .22 caliber rimfire guns to the new .17 Mach 2 cartridge. This is a lightweight supersonic varmint round that, as its name indicates, travels almost twice the speed of sound. Its speed and weight provide a near-flat trajectory to 100 yards, but past that distance it looses effective energy..25 Automatic (6.35mm Browning)Case Type: Rimless, straight Introduced: 1908 Made For: Semi-Auto Cart Len: 0.910-in Case Len: 0.615-in Case Dia: 0.278-in Bul Dia: 0.251-in MV: From 750 to 900 ft/sec ME: From 62 to 73 ft-lb WT: From 35 to 50 grains Description: This cartridge was introduced in the United States along with the Browning-designed, Colt manufactured 'Vest Pocket' pistol. Also referred to as the 6.35mm Browning, this semi-rimmed centerfire cartridge has fairly high velocity for such a small size. However, the energy it delivers at any range is quite low. This, combined with the full metal jacketed bullet, adds up to a very poor stopping or killing power on anything."

"text": "Home Firearms The Guns of The Walking Dead Firearms The Guns of The Walking Dead By Ray - December 11, 2011 49SHARE Facebook Twitter The “zombie apocalypse” scenario is brought up quite often on gun forums all the time, the question of what gun to use if the undead rise up has been discussed countless times. What would I use during a zombie apocalypse? I’ll save that for a later post. Whenever I watch AMC’s hit show The Walking Dead the gun enthusiast in me always pays close attention to the guns and weapons used, who am I kidding, I actually do this with all movies and TV shows I watch. What makes the weapon choices in The Walking Dead so interesting is that no one is using a tacticool assault rifle or is dual wielding pistols. They’re not sporting anything too fancy. Even the main character Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), a sheriff’s deputy, is using a wheelgun. We wrote about the weapons used in The Walking Dead a while back, specifically about the prop and stunt weapons used on set. Below is a collection of the guns used by the characters of the TV show The Walking Dead. We’ll start out with two weapons that aren’t firearms, but that are probably 2 of the most iconic weapons from the series."

USAPosts 229mm carbine (\"\"wannabe\"\" rifle ballistics)The more I look into the 9mm carbine, especially the Kel Tec Sub2000, the more interested I am. I like the idea of a low cost rifle with a high potential for inexpensive fun. If it was just about the low cost enjoymemt, I wouldnt need to look any further than the .22lr but the potential of the 9mm carbine for self defense is more appealing to me than the .22. Now, by no means would the 9mm be my \"\"go to\"\" \"\"fighting rifle\"\" (except maybe during a zombie apocalypse) but I think it good to keep some some optimum SD ammo for every gun you own. I find it appealing that out of the 16 in. barrel there are some 9mm loads that approach the .357 magnum in ballistics. So what Im curious about is if you folks think there are any exotic loadings (super light and fast) that you could fire out of a 9mm carbine at velocities over 2000fps. And if there were, would you recommend it? This question stinks of \"\"noob\"\", I know... Look forward hearing your thoughts."

They featured a short-throw lever action, cross button safety and a visible cocking lever. [ 2] The 4 different variants of the Model 96 represented the four calibers the rifle came in: 96/17 for .17 HMR, 96/22 for .22 LR, 96/22M for .22 Magnum and 96/44 for .44 Magnum. All four models had a hard wood stock. [ 2]96/22 [ edit]The .22 LR 96/22 feeds from the same magazines as the popular Ruger 10/22 series. From the factory, it comes with the standard flush-fitting 10-round rotary magazine. Since it shares the magazine with the 10/22, the capacities available for the 96/22 include 10, 25, 50, etc. It utilizes the same v-block and barrels from the late model v-block style Ruger 77/22. Because of this, with an allen wrench, the owner can replace the barrel with a 77/22 barrel. To use a 10/22 barrel, the process is the same as converting a 10/22 barrel for use in a 77/22. Both the 77/22 and 96/22 have dual, opposed extractors."

"text": "\"Compared: Ruger Super Blackhawk SA and Redhawk DA .44 Magnum Revolvers for Protection in the Field By the Guns and Shooting Online Staff In the article \"\"Handguns for Protection in the Field,\"\" Managing Editor Chuck Hawks boldly recommended two .44 Magnum revolvers for the purpose, the Ruger Super Blackhawk and Ruger Redhawk with 5.5\"\" barrels. The Super Blackhawk is Ruger's premier single-action (SA) revolver, while the Redhawk is Ruger's double-action (DA) .44. Both are more compact than the huge Super Redhawk (and its sundry imitations from other manufacturers). The Super Redhawk is offered in .44 Magnum, but was designed to handle the larger .454 Casull round. We can't imagine carrying a Super Redhawk or similar size revolver as an ancillary weapon. One of the desirable features of a revolver carried for protection from large predators is reasonable size. After all, it will be carried a lot and, hopefully, never actually used for its intended purpose. It must, of course, be capable of fulfilling its defensive mission if called upon. When selecting a revolver for protection in the field, one must balance size and weight (portability) against caliber and barrel length (power). While a handgun hunter would likely choose the 7.5\"\" barrel option and a concealed carry revolver normally has a 2\"\" to 3\"\" barrel, a Magnum revolver carried in the field for protection will usually have a barrel in the medium length range of 4\"\" to 6\"\"."

"text": "\"Magnum Research Desert Eagle Description The Magnum Research Desert Eagle is a semi-automatic large-frame pistol chambered in .357 Mag., .44 Mag. and .50 AE. The Desert Eagle is a popular line of pistols that was introduced in the early 1980s. What put it on the map is it fires large caliber revolver rounds. Such powerful rounds weren’t typically chambered for pistols because pistols rely on multiple moving parts whereas revolvers are, more or less, one solid piece. Desert Eagles don’t have a typical pistol design instead it uses a gas-operated rotating bolt, which is a trait more common for rifles. It has a fixed barrel and front end, so the bolt blows back instead of a slide. Features include an ambidextrous safety and when engaged it disables the trigger and blocks the firing pin, so even if it drops it won’t discharge. It is available in numerous finishes like gold, silver, titanium, etc."

"text": "Gun Review: Ruger LCR .357 Revolverby Ryan Finn |Sep 08, 2011 |95 commentsfacebook twitter linkedin email A wise old man once told me that real pistols only came in one configuration: blued steel and walnut grips. The very same man bandied about phrases like “nickel plated sissy pistol” and believed that the .45 ACP was the alpha and omega. When “combat tupperware” started to become en vogue he thought it was a sign of the apocalypse. When Ruger released their polymer framed LCR revolver, he let loose a string of epithets that would have even made Howard Stern blush. Revolvers were made from metal, end of story. While I always took what he said with a grain of salt, I tended to agree with him on this point. Sorry. I should have said “agreed” . . . The Ruger LCR .357 is a beefed-up version of the original .38 Special LCR. It features a monolithic frame made of 4000 series blackened stainless steel that completely encloses the 1.875” barrel."

Flag What is the difference between a Ruger Mini 14 and the Ruger ranch rifle? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The early model mini 14 was not designed for a scope. After market mounts and rings came out so a scope could be added, however the angle of ejection was not set for a scope so the brass would bang into the scope. The Ranch rifle came with the scope mount as part of the receiver, and the ejection angle was changed to kick the brass lower and to the right more. I had a couple of the early mini's and scoped one of them. I lived with the dinged brass, and just used full length resizing dies to reload it. The Mini-14 is chambered in .223 and the Mini 30 is chambered in 7.62x39. Both come in the ranch rifle configuration.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "September 30, 2009Ruger LCR .38 Special +P Revolver Review The Ruger LCR .38 Special +P is a Hammerless Light Compact Revolver with a polymer housing— the only snubby of its kind!By Dave Spaulding Comment (s)When I entered law enforcement in the mid-1970s, the revolver was king. Concerns over weapon effectiveness were normally directed towards the caliber of the gun as few doubted that the revolver could deliver. During this time, the snub-nosed .38 was the off-duty and plainclothes carry gun with the Smith & Wesson Chief’s Special and Colt Detective Special (as well as their variations) being the only real choices. When I graduated from the Sheriff’s Academy, I purchased a Security Industries J-frame .357 Mag revolver, and even though the gun worked very well, it was accurate and chambered the more powerful .357 cartridge. My agency’s range officer told me the gun was junk and that I should get a S&W or Colt. It was stupid. The gun was ahead of its time as J-frame .357s are now plentiful. If a polymer revolver had appeared during this period of time, I’m guessing that traditionalists would sluff it off much like the compact .357 that I once (and still wish I did) owned. Last year, Ruger created excitement with the introduction of their palm-sized, 9-ounce .380 Lightweight Compact Pistol (LCP). Ruger did not disappoint this year with the introduction of their next-generation revolver, made of steel and polymer, the LCR (Lightweight Compact Revolver)."

Session ID: 2018-04-11:2c91e8b9ef3a4ac3407f5830 Player ID: bc_embed_305530168OKTwo burgeoning trends among shooters in America—long-range, tactical-type shooting and long-range hunting—share a common interest: precision at extreme range. Shooters want aerodynamic bullets that buck the wind better than ever, cutting-edge cartridges that shoot them faster and with more efficiency, and rifles that place those aerodynamic bullets with surgeon-like precision. Enter the Ruger Precision Rifle. The market for such rifles is dominated by smallish custom makers who guarantee extraordinary accuracy, but prices are four to eight times what a nice high-end hunting rifle would cost. Several of the big-name manufacturers have made token efforts to provide long-range rifles capable of precision, particularly on the hunting side, but most—if not all—of those models are merely line extensions. Ruger steps up its game with the new Precision, an affordable, accurate long-range rifle for competition or sporting fun. Ruger took a different approach when engineering the new Ruger Precision rifle. Geared more to tactical shooters than to hunters, it’s a refinement of design elements and features emerging as “must-haves” in the competitive world of sniper competition, Precision Rifle Series competition and so forth."

[1] The name Mini-14 was coined because it resembles a smaller version of the military M14 rifle. [ 2] Designed by L. James Sullivan [3] and William B. Ruger, it incorporated numerous innovations and cost-saving engineering changes. The Mini-14 rifle employs an investment cast, heat-treated receiver and is mechanically similar to the M1 Garand rifle, with a self-cleaning, fixed-piston gas system. [ 4] [5] Initial rifles were produced with a complex, exposed bolt hold open device with no button for manual engagement. Stocks were somewhat angular and heat shields were made of wood. These rifles, with serial number prefixes before 181, were tooled and redesigned with a new stock, new bolt hold-open mechanism, and other small changes. [ 6]The original Mini-14 rifle had a rear aperture sight with large protective wings, and no integral scope bases."

Others, however, age with the gracefulness of Steven Seagal. With the assistance of Browning and FNH, the Winchester Model 70 has matured and grown into an excellent weapon platform for the nostalgic sportsman who doesn’t want to sacrifice functionality . . . On rare occasions, being a resident of the Southeastern United States allows me to come into contact with purveyors of fine firearms (read: fellow hoplophiles). On one encounter I met a gentleman who owned an older 1927 Winchester Model 70 and figured it would be a hell of a thing to compare a Model 70 made in the ’20s to a current production rifle. I’m no engineer, so I decided to forego delving into the technical aspects of the rifles and instead focus on comparing their fit, finish, & feel. Fit Both the original and current Model 70s gets A+’s across the board. The crown on the older rifle is not as sharp but I doubt that has to do with inferior craftsmanship and more to do with decades of wear and tear. Hell this gun was 60-some years old when I was still in diapers. Finish The furniture on the original Model 70 is a little nicer than the wood on current production models, but in all fairness, the original rifle had an aftermarket mani-pedi done by a local smith about 30 years ago."

Sheep, cattle, goats, deer, giraffes and llamas are ruminant animals. This means that they have a four-chambered stomach. The four chambers of the ruminant stomach are the reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum. The rumen serves as a large fermentation vat in which bacteria and other microorganisms reside. These microbes are capable of breaking down feedstuffs that the cow cannot. As part of this process, they produce a number of by-products, such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which the animal absorbs and uses as energy. Several gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, are also produced in the fermentation process and must be removed by eructation or belching."

"text": "10/10/2000Manure evaluation Manure indicates the condition of the rumen and intestine of the cow. Manure from a healthy, high-producing cow should look like a pile of shaving cream. Too much DIP will increase manure looseness. Within a group of cows experiencing acidosis, some manure will be stiff, some just right, and some will be loose, pasty, somewhat shiny, and contain small bubbles. Grain will be seen in the manure if there is poor rumen mat formation due to a lack of effective fiber or if the rumen microbes are not able to digest the grain fast enough. Mature, unprocessed grain will be digested slowly. Manure evaluation can provide a huge clue when trying to evaluate conditions inside the rumen and intestine of the dairy cow. Many producers are aware that loose manure can be a sign of too much dietary protein but they don’t realize that manure can change based on rumen health. Even in situations where the cows are milking reasonably well, the manure may not look exactly like it should. Making ration improvements to make the manure look better will increase milk production further and, more importantly, improve feeding efficiency."

"text": "\"Raising Goats Small Farm Farm Animals How to Feed and Tend Goats on the Small Farm By Lauren Arcuri Updated 02/24/18Share Pin Email Olga Gavrilenko / Eye Em/Getty Images If you're just starting a goat herd, you will know that goats require some knowledge to feed them right. Whether raising goats for meat, establishing a dairy herd, or just practicing sustainable living on your homestead, goats need attention to their nutrition to thrive. One good rule of thumb: don't make drastic changes to your goats' diet all at once. Don't feed them large amounts of a new food. Either of these practices can lead to a major digestive upset for your goats. Change their diets slowly, giving the bacteria in their rumen (their first stomach, made for the initial step in the digestion of the plants they eat) time to adjust. Range: Browsing and Pasturing Goats Goats are well-known for their ability to pasture on anything from lovely green grass to scrubby woods, where they can eat young trees and hardy shrubs. They are browsers versus grazers (for example, cattle, sheep, and horses are grazing species). For this reason, they are excellent at clearing rough, overgrown land. Let go of the myth, if you've heard it, that goats make good \"\"lawnmowers.\"\""

What are the cardia, fundus, pyloric antrum, and pylorus of the stomach? What are each of their functions? The cardia is the area immediately surrounding the opening from the esophagus into the stomach. The cardia sphincter helps reduce reflux of stomach contents back up into the esphogus. The orientation of the esophagus as it enters the stomach also provides a natural closure for the cardia as the stomach fills and distends. The fundus is the section of stomach that forms a distendible, blind pouch that expands as more food is swallowed. The body of the stomach is also a distensible section in the “middle” of the stomach. The pyloric antrum is the distal part of the stomach that grinds up swallowed food and regurgitates the hydrochloric acid that is produced by the fundic and body parietal cells. The pylorus is the muscular sphincter (ring of muscle in tubular organ) that regulates the movement of chyme or digested stomach contents, from the stomach to the into the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) and prevents backflow of duodenal contents into the stomach.2."

"text": "Home Calf Health & Rearing Calf Rearing Science of once-a-day The science of once-a-day calf feeding For years the most frequently asked question on calf rearing was: Why should I feed my calves milk only once a day? It's so unnatural. Even though these days nearly all beef farmers feed once a day, many do not understand why. Here are a few pointers on how to improve the odds. Early Rumen Development The prime objective of any calf rearing enterprise is to quickly and effectively convert a calf from a high cost, high risk, labour intensive milk diet, to an animal that can efficiently convert pasture into live weight gain. In other words, the development of the calf’s rumen is the main priority when formulating a rearing program. To obtain early rumen development, the first requirement is to coerce the calf into using its rumen at an early age, that is, to eat dry matter as soon as possible. The feeding of high protein pellets, straw roughage and confining the calf off pasture are all necessary in an early rumen development program. It must be stressed however, that once a day milk feeding is perhaps the greatest asset available to assist early rumen development. By condensing the dry matter content of the milk, all the nutrients required daily by a calf can be fed in one, low volume feed."

"text": "\"Karin Lindquist, Bovine enthusiast; Raised & worked with cows and cattle, mainly beef breeds. Answered Sep 11, 2016 · Author has 398 answers and 845.6k answer views Antibiotics and r BST are two very different things. So, no.r BST or recombinant Bovine Somatotrophin (sold as Posilac®) is a growth hormone that has been modified from normal BST growth hormone using recombinant DNA process so that cows injected with it can produce more milk than what would be considered normal, even for a dairy cow like a Holstein. It has nothing to do with antibiotics, nor is even associated with antibiotics. Nor does it have to do with the diet of the cow. It just means that cows that are injected with r BST are hormonally “forced” to produce more milk with the consequence to animal welfare of increased lameness issues, clinical mastitis, and decreased conception rates. Thus, milk from cows that were NOT given r BST is actually milk that comes from cows raised more humanely than from the “regular” dairies that have given r BST. FYI: Posilac®, once owned by Monsanto, but now owned by the Eli Lily Company, is still banned in many countries, including Canada. The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association compiled a meta-analysis on the drug and was part of the larger body of governance which made the decision to not allow the drug in Canada due to animal welfare concerns, not so much with food safety: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/... Now, antibiotics are both a blessing and a curse. They’re a blessing because they help treat sick animals that are afflicted with a bacterial infection like mastitis, bacterial pneumonia, etc."

This article will address how to feed and hydrate a sick goat with health problems that the goat producer has some chance of solving. When a goat gets sick, it needs quick attention. Goats are not the indestructible tin-can-eaters of Saturday morning cartoon fame. While they are adaptable and hardy in many respects, goats stress easily and sometimes give up quickly when they are ill. In today's highly-managed meat-goat herds, many health problems are the direct result of improper management and feeding by the producer. Meat goats were never intended to be pen-raised animals. In terms of how they live and eat in natural surroundings, they are \"\"first cousins\"\" to deer -- roaming over many acres daily, while carefully selecting the choicest plants to eat. Confinement leads to health problems in meat goats. Rumen-related Problems: A common problem in managed herds is rumen-related."

Protein production by the cow is limited by the particular amino acid that is in shortest supply in relation to the cow’s requirement for forming amino acid chains. The goal when feeding dairy cows should be to maximize microbial amino acid production as much as possible and then, complement the microbial supply with additional amino acids that are expected to escape rumen fermentation. Amino acid requirements can be expressed using either the factorial method or the ideal protein method. If we can more accurately predict the nutrient requirements of cows and the nutrients supplied by rations, we should be able to reduce feed costs and reduce nutrient wastage while promoting maximum milk production. Protein is composed of amino acids. We know that cows require certain amounts of individual amino acids for production. Balancing rations for the individual amino acids rather than for crude protein will help us fine-tune rations and improve feed efficiency. A protein is a chain of 50 or more individual amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids."

"text": "\"Real Cows Eat Grass!Cows are in the class of animals known as ruminants. Ruminants are hoofed animals with an even number of toes and complicated four-chambered stomachs designed to break down difficult to digest plant matter (such as fibrous grasses). All ruminants regurgitate and re-chew their food or 'cud' in a process called, appropriately enough, rumination. For 6-8 hours a day, they'll chew their cud to make up for not chewing much while actually eating the grass. This breaks up the plant fibers into smaller and smaller chunks and pumps fresh saliva into the mix. Speaking of which, depending on the moisture content of their food, cows can make an astounding amount of saliva every day. Although 15-20 gallons is probably closer to the norm and amazing enough, at the extreme, one study calculated up to 66 gallons/day! Nearly 280 liters!Why so much slobber? A big reason is that plant-digesting microbes work best breaking down tough cell walls in a nearly neutral p H environment, 6.2-6.8, preferably (p H is a way of measuring acidity and alkalinity: 7 is neutral, less than 7 is acidic, greater than is alkaline). The problem is, waste products from fermentation are acidic, so Nature, in its infinite wisdom, endowed cows with alkaline substances in their saliva (bicarbonate and phosphates) to give it a p H of about 8.2 and help maintain the favorable conditions in the rumen."

Quick Reference for Immediate Care ALWAYS check first for any obstructions in the mouth or throat that can be causing the bloat!Massage Rumen (Upper left side) using kneading as if kneading bread and patting firmly as you would a baby Get goat on it's feet if down and start walking it around Elevate front end of goat if laying down Massage & Pat rumen (high on left side of goat behind last rib) to help release gas ( the same method as you would use to burp a baby)- you may also have to \"\"knead\"\" the air pocket to get the gas moving. If the goat starts to belch up gas, then give it a tablespoon some baking soda either dry or in a small amount of water, (if you add enough water to make it like toothpaste it is easier to get most of it into the goat) about a TBSP for an adult goat or a tsp for a younger goat If the gas does NOT come up with belching while massaging the rumen and the goat has had access to lush grass pasture all of a sudden (ie: let out to pasture after a long winter with just hay), and or has froth on it's mouth - Then administer either \"\"Bloat Release\"\" or \"\"Therabloat\"\" or REGULAR PLAIN powdered \"\"Tide laundry detergent\"\" Not the one with bleach, not the ultra, or any of the new varieties (one tablespoon of Tide powder mixed with 60cc of water) carefully via tubing - Di Gel (4-6 TBSP) DO NOT Tube with OIL! ( WHY?) Because oil is odorless, tasteless and has no temperature, can VERY easily go down the wrong way and into the lungs! INSTEAD- Administration of the anti foaming agent should reduce the bloat almost immediately. After the release of the gases, administer orally a probiotic to refresh rumen flora If you have a goat that has binged on grain, I use baking soda first - wet a TBSP full of baking soda with enough water to make a paste and into the mouth, massage the rumen afterwards up and forward to help the goat belch- afterwards, try giving a couple TBSPs of Milk of Magnesia. This helps stimulate the gut and lower the p H balance of the rumen be more alkaline. IF and I DO say IF.. all treatment is not working and the goat is in such distress as you feel it will die shortly and there is No time to call your vet,you will need to use a trocar to release the gas But this is a dire emergency situation ONLY (read more below:)If the bloat continues after either of these treatments CALL YOUR VETThis is the Normal Rumen function of moving gas around the rumen and finally toward the esophagus for removal via belching. When a goat Is bloated, it cannot bring up the gas and it continues to build in the rumen slowly pressing on the heart and lungs suffocating the goat from within."

In microbiology, there are many examples of mutualistic bacteria in the gut that aid digestion in both humans and animals. Commensalism is a relationship between species in which one benefits and the other is unaffected. Humans are host to a variety of commensal bacteria in their bodies that do not harm them but rely on them for survival (e.g. bacteria that consume dead skin). Parasitic relationships, in which one species benefits and the other suffers, are very common in nature. Most of the microorganisms studied in medical microbiology are parasitic and feed on human tissue. For example, cholera, leshmaniasis, and Giardia are all parasitic microbes. Symbiotic relationships can also be classified by the physical relationship between the two species.

After they receive colostrum (Mother's first milk) For the first 24 hours of life, bottle fed kids should be fed fresh (or frozen) goat's milk if at all possible. If you cannot get fresh goat's milk, you can use whole (not 2%) cows milk from the store. I do not recommend using fresh cow's milk UNLESS you know for a fact the farm is certified because the transfer of Johne's or CAE to a baby goat from the cow's milk is possible.

We all understand the functions of our own teeth, front teeth are for biting and back teeth are for chewing, but what does a cow do since she has no upper front teeth? A cow’s teeth are distributed much differently than a humans’ teeth are. Unlike humans, cattle can be born with or without teeth. When they obtain their permanent teeth, after 30 months, they have 12 premolars top and bottom, 12 molars on top and bottom, and only 8 incisors which are all found on the bottom of their mouths. Instead of upper incisors, a cow has what is called a dental pad, a patch of tough skin covering their gums. At first glance it would seem that missing front teeth would be rather inefficient when it comes to eating, especially since cows can eat up to 100 pounds of grass per day."

"text": "\"← back to blog home page Dealing with Scours The old joke that goats will eat anything, even a tin can is not only incorrect but misleading. It leads us to believe that goats have stomachs of steel and can digest anything put in front of them. The truth is that a goat will “taste” many things; zippers on hoodies, pony tails, and much more if given the chance. Goats like to explore the world using their mouth. They can eat brambles, thorn covered raspberries and even poison ivy without ill effects to their health. But in actuality, a goat’s digestive system is very delicate and easily upset. Just because they WILL eat anything, doesn’t mean they SHOULD. To understand a goat’s digestive system let’s first go into the wild. Picture the wild goat. Images of a white, bearded animal, horns in tact, balancing on the side of a steep mountain cliff might come to mind."

In some cases the producer is faced with an isolated case or two. In other cases the effect is disastrous with many cattle being affected. Each year in the late winter and early spring as temperatures warm and moisture levels increase in many areas, growth of lush grasses and legumes increases dramatically. This problem could be especially true this year in areas that have been under severe drought and have now been receiving some decent rainfall for the first time in months. While the improved moisture is a blessing the potential problems may not be. What is Bloat? A lot of folks believe that bloat is simply a really bad case of gas. This is only partially true."

"text": "How Many Stomachs Does a Cow Have Posted by: admin Posted date: February 14, 2012 In: Animals Comment : 0 16,228 views Cattle have one stomach with four compartments. They are the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum, with the rumen being the largest compartment. The reticulum, the smallest compartment, is known as the “honeycomb”. Cattle sometimes consume metal objects which are deposited in the reticulum and irritation from the metal objects causes hardware disease. The omasum’s main function is to absorb water and nutrients from the digestible feed. The omasum is known as the “many plies”. The abomasum is like the human stomach; this is why it is known as the “true stomach”. Dairy farming and the milking of cattle – once performed largely by hand, but now usually replaced by machine – exploits the cow’s ruminant biology. Cattle are ruminants, meaning that they have a digestive system that allows use of otherwise indigestible foods by regurgitating and rechewing them as “cud”. The cud is then reswallowed and further digested by specialised microorganisms in the rumen."

Many people have heard about it but do not know how to effectively deal with it. Several types of bloat affect goats, and some of the old remedies are not very effective. Gas is a natural by-product of digestive fermentation in the rumen, and it is expelled continuously as the goat belches. Bloat occurs when gas is trapped in the rumen. It is a life-threatening condition. Frothy Bloat Frothy bloat is usually caused by overeating lush, damp feeds such as clover, alfalfa or legume pastures. Green feed that has grown warm in the stack can also create problems. Foam forms in the rumen with tiny bubbles that are impossible for a goat to belch up."

"text": "“Why do goats have four stomachs?”Posted on July 19, 2011 by Shala Howell Baby goat (4 year old provided for scale)On a recent trip to Davis Farmland, my daughter and I were stunned to learn that goats have not one, not two, but four stomachs. It was hard to imagine why such a small animal would need four different stomachs. ( Not to mention how a pregnant goat could possibly fit a baby or two in with all those stomachs.) It was clearly time to Ask the i Phone. Turns out “goats have four stomachs” is sloppy shorthand for “goats have one very large stomach split into four compartments”: the rumen, the reticulum, the omasum, and the abomasum. There are lots of explanations of how goat stomachs work on the web, but I find I’m rather partial to the one provided by the New York State 4-H. As the 4H explains, when a goat chomps down on a mouthful of grass or hay, it chews its feed long enough to soak it with saliva before swallowing it down. ( The swallowed clump of food is referred to as a cud.) The cud is sent first to the goat’s rumen, the largest chamber in an adult goat stomach, which serves as a sort of fermentation vat. Microorganisms in the rumen produce enzymes that break down the fiber in the cud, converting it into proteins, B vitamins, and other necessary nutrients. Fermenting the cud is a multi-step process."

"text": "How to Be a Good Safety in Football By Sean Taylor | 04/12/2010Facebook Twitter Stumble Google+ Save There are many new football players out there that are looking for information on how to be a good safety in football. The safety position in football is one that requires a great variety of skills and also a great deal of versatility. A safety has multiple roles and various skills are needed to cover these roles and responsibilities. Let's discuss some of the roles and responsibilities that will be learned when trying to become a good safety in football. One important thing to remember when playing safety is that in most defensive schemes, the safety is the last line of defense versus the pass as well as versus the run. Sure, it is nice for the safety to come up and make big plays, but the key thing to remember is that if a safety comes up to make a big play and misses, there is a great chance that it can result in a big play for the offense. What makes a safety a position that requires such versatility? Well, when learning how to become a good safety in football, a safety is a position that requires equal responsibility in stopping the running game of the opponent, as it does stopping the passing game of the opponent. Because of this, a safety should have good tackling skills as well as good pass coverage skills. A safety should be involved in stopping a running play up the middle as well as a deep pass play."

In many cases, there are no external signs of head trauma. Many people assume that concussions involve a loss of consciousness, but that is not true. In many cases, a person with a concussion never loses consciousness. The formal medical definition of concussion is a clinical syndrome characterized by immediate and transient alteration in brain function, including alteration of mental status and level of consciousness, resulting from mechanical force or trauma. People with concussions often cannot remember what happened immediately before or after the injury and may act confused. A concussion can affect memory, judgment, reflexes, speech, balance and muscle coordination. Paramedics and athletic trainers who suspect a person has suffered a concussion may ask the injured person if they know their name, what month/year it is and where they are.

It's easy to criticize the position and the moves made by the coaching staff when you don't understand how the positions are formatted and what role they play. I'm going to attempt to give you fans and readers an understanding of how the two positions are formatted and why I feel there are solid candidates for the jobs. The safety position has two functions on the football field, which coincide with the two distinct safety positions. The two positions, free safety and strong safety, have roles that sound exactly like their names suggest. Strong safety refers to the fact that the safety in that position is playing on the strong side of the field. Just like a strongside linebacker, the strong side of the field in man coverage is the side of the field where there are more lineman and where a play is designed to be run. A typical indicator is where the tight end lines up. In man coverage, the strong safety has the obligation of covering the tight end down the field AND coming up to provide run support. In a man formation, he will typically line up closer to the line of scrimmage so he can pick up the tight end quicker as the tight end runs by the strongside linebacker, who is the first line of defense on the strong side."

The sand and rubber from the field turf are sticking to my sweaty knees. I’m about to do one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever done as a mother: I’m going to thrust myself forward and land (hopefully) on a long, spongy, bright red football pad while Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the National Football League, and Urban Meyer, Ohio State’s head football coach, watch. Of all the embarrassing things I’ve done as a mother — and we’ve all been there; the list is long — this ranks toward the top. I’ve had three kids, and the possibility is high that some untoned body part will spill out as I land with my chest on the football pad and my feet in the air. In essence, though, this absurdity is at the heart of being a parent: we will do whatever it takes to make the world a better place for our children. Today, this means I’m learning how to tackle the safe way. When the N. F. L. and Ohio State announced that they would host the first football safety clinic for mothers, I jumped at the chance to attend. My 12-year-old son, Caleb, plays tackle football. As a sportswriter, I understand the risks of playing contact football even more than the average parent, but I can honestly say that letting Caleb play was one of the best parenting decisions my husband and I ever made."

But just to make sure we’re on the same page here, let’s run through some of the basic rules of football formations before we have a look at the formations themselves. Offensive Positioning There must be 11 total players. Of these, 6 positions are always the same. They are the five players make up the offensive line (OL)—1 center (C), 2 guards (G), 2 tackles (T)—plus 1 quarterback (QB). The other 5 positions can be any combination of the remaining positions: 0-3 tight ends (TE), 0-5 wide receivers (WR), and 0-3 backs (FB/HB). For any given play, there must be at least 7 players on the line of scrimmage—the 5 on the OL, plus at least 2 more. These two can be either TEs or WRs. A team can place more players on the line of scrimmage, but the rule is that only the two players on the ends are eligible receivers. So, most often, to maximize the number of eligible receivers, teams place the minimum 7 players up front, leaving 4 in the backfield."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Penalty (American football))navigation search NFL back judge Lee Dyer retrieves a penalty flag on the field during a game on November 16, 2008 between the San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams. In American football and Canadian football, a penalty is a sanction called against a team for a violation of the rules, called a foul. [ 1]Officials initially signal penalties by tossing a bright yellow (American Football) or orange (Canadian football) colored \"\" penalty flag \"\" onto the field toward or at the spot of a foul. [ 2] Many penalties result in moving the football toward the offending team's end zone, usually either 5, 10, or 15 yards, depending on the penalty. Most penalties against the defensive team also result in giving the offense an automatic first down, while a few penalties against the offensive team cause them to automatically lose a down. In some cases, depending on the spot of the foul, the ball is moved half the distance to the goal line rather than the usual number of yards, or the defense scores an automatic safety. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Rationale2 Signaling and announcing penalties3 General types of penalty enforcement4 Intentional fouls5 The ten-second runoff rule6 List of penalties [16]7 See also8 References Rationale [ edit]Because football is a high- contact sport requiring a balance between offense and defense, many rules exist that regulate equality, safety, contact, and actions of players on each team. It is very difficult to always avoid violating these rules without giving up too much of an advantage. [ 4] Thus, an elaborate system of fouls and penalties has been developed to \"\" let the punishment fit the crime \"\" and maintain a balance between following the rules and keeping a good flow of the game. Players and coaches are constantly looking for ways to find an advantage that stretches the limitations imposed by the rules."

I continue to be an on the field athletic trainer, I continue to educate on concussion, I continue to be active on Twitter but more importantly I am concentrating more on being a father and husband. Blogging ain’t easy, folks; let’s be honest the coverage of concussion has blossomed well since 2009 when this blog started. All of that being said, I am also in the process of gaining further education in concussion. This is not your typical education about the injury but right were my mantra for the past six years has been: The injury of concussion is not the true problem; it is the mismanagement of this brain injury that is the real issue. As noted in March I began the Evidence in Motion Concussion Management Course. This is a 34 week program that was designed to bring collaboration and current information to those that can impact the real problem of this injury, the clinicians. We have arrived at the half way point in the program, marked by the weekend intensive course – which met in Chicago this past weekend. Many have wanted to know has it been worth it. The answer is unequivocally, YES."

"text": "\"A sail switch, vane switch or flow switch is a mechanical switch that is switched on or off in response to the flow or non-flow of a fluid such as air or water. A sail switch typically operates through the use of a paddle which gets displaced due to the force of fluid moving past it. Sail switches find application in the detection of fluid flow and measurement of fan speeds. A sail switch might be used to protect a central heating system electric heating element from being energized before the air flow from the blower is established. [ 1] Sail switches might also be used to alarm if a ventilation fan in a hazardous location fails and air flow has stopped. For some HVAC systems, a sail switch can activate an electronic air cleaner, a humidifier, or other equipment in response to airflow from the system fan.

According to William M. Thurlbeck and Joanne L. Wright, authors of the book \"\"Thurlbeck's Chronic Airflow Obstruction,\"\" excess mucus can accumulate in your respiratory system when you have a cold, intolerance to a particular food, influenza, allergies or a chronic lung disease such as cystic fibrosis. Certain foods can cause a buildup of mucus in your body. Knowing which foods can trigger excess mucus can prevent irritating mucus from collecting in your body. Dairy Products Consuming dairy products can cause excess mucus in your body. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese and ice cream can cause mucus buildup in people who have an intolerance or allergy to milk products. According to Tanya Wright, author of the book \"\"Food Allergies: Enjoying Life with a Severe Food Allergy,\"\" these foods can cause thick phlegm to form in your throat. If you already have mucus in your throat, they can worsen your condition."

My wife and I have done some serious off-shore sailing with Eric Forsyth, who has sailed around the world a couple times, done the northwest passage, gone to Antarctica twice, nearly sunk on the way to Antarctica a year or so ago, and this summer decided to 'take it easy' by just sailing from Long Island, NY (his home base) to the Baltic. Oh, by the way, he is 84 years old. We crewed with him 1000 miles down the coast of Brazil, and also through the Caribbean. We've also sailed a classic pilot cutter across the English Channel from Cornwall to Brittany. From our experience, and listening to Eric's stories, most of the time, off-shore sailing is pretty dull and fairly easy. No harder than sailing across your local harbor. When the wind and waves pipe up (as they do), the main thing is to have your boat simply rigged, so it's fast and easy to shorten sail, without things breaking or jamming all the time. If it's easy to take down a reef, you will do it in time, and not be struggling on a heaving foredeck."

Sunfish was developed by Alcort, Inc. and first appeared around 1952 as the \"\"next generation\"\" improvement on their original boat, the Sailfish. In contrast, the Sunfish has a wider beam for more stability, increased freeboard and the addition of a foot-well for a more comfortable sailing position. Sunfish began as a wood hull design and progressed to fiberglass construction just a few years after its introduction. [ 2]Having a lateen sail with its simple two line rigging makes a Sunfish simple to learn sailing on and to set up. Upgrades can be added to enhance sail control for competitive sailing, [3] making the boat attractive to both novice and experienced sailors alike. Due to the broad appeal of the Sunfish, in 1995 it was commended by The American Sailboat Hall of Fame for being \"\"the most popular fiberglass boat ever designed, with a quarter million sold worldwide\"\" (at that point in time). [ 4]Early in 2016, manufacturer Laser Performance moved production from Portsmouth, Rhode Island, US [5] to China [6] and boats were supplied to the 2016 World Championships. In 2017, Laser Performance (LP) announced the creation of a new governing body to manage the Sunfish Class, the International Sunfish Class Organization (ISCO), after the International Sunfish Class Association (ISCA), governing body since 1969, refused to sign a trademark agreement. In response the ISCA, still the World Sailing recognised Class Association, have announced rule changes which permit alternative suppliers to Laser Performance for some components. ["

I will be honest; even with the blog I have never been one to pay for internet while on a Disney Cruise. My main reason was that the cruise was my escape from being connected 24/7 and the Internet packages were based on the number of minutes you were online similar to the old America Online plans of the dial up era. Kids, if that last sentence leaves you wondering what I am talking about, consider yourself lucky and be thankful for today’s high speed internet. Like I was saying, knowing full well the data speeds were not as you would encounter on land, I would frequently head ashore to search for a hotspot on port days to do what I needed to do, which ultimately cut into my time in port with the family. By the way – ask the crew around the ship where they would go if they wanted to get online. Thanks to some great crew advice, I’ve ended up at some places with free Wi Fi and great food!There are really two ways to purchase internet on a Disney Cruise. The first way is to select from one of three fixed data allotment packages ranging from $19 for 100MB to $89 for 1GB. Alternatively, you could select the pay-as-you-go plan, where you will pay an a la carte rate of 25¢ per megabyte. The pay-as-you-go plan does allow guests to set a spending limit as an insurance policy to prevent over spending in the event you leave your device connected to the internet overnight."

For a definition of terms, please refer to the Fabric Glossary. For a description of the different fibers used in sailcloth, please refer to the Fiber Guide. On the most basic level, there are three different types of sailcloth: Woven Laminate WOVEN SAILCLOTHThe earliest sailcloth was constructed of woven flax. In the 1800s, the switch was made to American cotton and later to Egyptian cotton. Currently, most woven sailcloth is constructed out of Dacron, although other fibers such as Kevlar, Spectra and Pentex see limited use. Magnified view of tightly woven Dacron. This is a fill-oriented weave, in which the warp fibers (running from the upper left to the lower right) are woven over and under the straight fill yarns. In this construction, all of the crimp is in the warp and stretch in the fill direction is minimized. Polyester (Dacron®) Even though it was almost 40 years ago that Dacron replaced cotton as the primary sail material for fore and aft sails, it is a bit difficult to explain all the subtleties of this fabric."

Marine batteries ! Marine batteries are the \"\"heart\"\" so to speak, of any sea-worthy platform as it pumps life giving electricity and current though the vessel. Obviously this is needed as the many electronics and other comforts of home on a boat need power to make them run. As usual, if the heart of any machine is not in tip-top shape and working to perfection, then things don’t get done. Marine batteries come in several kinds and sizes and as with most items associated with our recreational activity, you get what you pay for. I called on a couple of my battery \"\"experts,\"\" namely Wally Werner of Sea Coast Distributors (516-842-2338) and Frank Regan of Sea-Curity Systems (516-226-1616) of Lindenhurst. Both of these gentlemen made appearances on my television show for exactly this subject, marine batteries and here’s what I concluded from my conversations with them CAR vs. BOAT. One of the most commonly asked questions I receive is, \"\"can I use my car battery in my boat?\"\" Well, this is one of the oldest misconceptions in the boating game and the truth is you can use a car battery for your boating needs, but it certainly won’t last very long!!"

For Camaros, the Monsoon option code was UZ7 in coupes and U59 in convertibles. An easy way to tell if your car has (or had originally) a Monsoon system is to look at the hatch trim panels. Monsoon systems have speakers on both sides of the hatch area but base audio systems do not. If you have speaker grilles in the hatch area side trim panels (above the spare tire on the right and the storage cubby hole on the left) then your car was originally equipped with a Monsoon system. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent way to determine if you have a Monsoon system in a convertible - you'll have to check the door label. The Monsoon system consists of a head unit (radio with single CD player or cassette player), an external amplifier, and either eight or ten speakers (depending on vehicle model). There was also an optional external CD changer available that mounts in the cubby space on the left side of the t-top storage well in a coupe or the left rear of the trunk in a convertible."

But what happens when your friend, the owner and skipper, is suddenly injured, becomes ill, our worse yet, falls overboard?

Don't wait until YOU are suddenly in charge, learn the basics before just \"\"going along for the ride\"\". Learn Boating Basics Even if you don't own a boat, if you ever go out in one as a passenger, you should know the basics of boating.

However I used to own a wing keel boat and when she was aground getting her off was very difficult... When aground you can get keel boats off by heeling them by pulling laterally/diagonally on the main halyard from another boat, a dinghy can do this because of the large lever arm, and reducing the effective draft and then motoring off or having another boat pull you. Just putting all the sails up and getting the boat to heel will often make the difference."

"text": "Tasting and Ranking 39 of the Best American Wheat Beers American-made wheat beers from hefeweizen to Belgian wit By Jim Vorel | April 27, 2015 | 12:25pm Photos by Becky Delaware Drink Lists Share Tweet Submit Pin As an overarching label, “wheat beer” can mean an awful lot, and this is likely something that craft beer drinkers who are just beginning to explore the world of beer wouldn’t fully understand. Ultimately, all the term “wheat beer” really implies is a brew where more than 50 percent of the fermentables are derived from malted wheat, although some also make use of unmalted wheat, which delivers a subtly different profile. But beyond that, there are a plethora of styles: American pale wheat. Hefeweizens, both American and German in style. Belgian wits. Berliner weisse. Gose. The list goes on. All of these styles are popular in the United States, where wheat ales (and even some lagers) have been standard bearers for the craft beer movement for decades. Many drinkers who today explore the extremes of the style first found their way into the world of craft beer through a pint of American pale wheat down at the neighborhood brewpub, or even an artificial, fruit-flavored abomination like Blue Moon."

"text": "What Is a Farmhouse Ale? Nick Hines @nickolaushines2 minute Read Working on the farm isn’t what it used to be, what with all of the fancy newfangled industrial equipment and commercial-sized plots of land. Drinking like you’re on the farm, however, is still possible, thanks to farmhouse ales. A farmhouse ale is not a single style of beer. It’s actually a broader category of styles. It can be a saison, bière de garde, gueuze, or sahti. In general, a beer that falls under the farmhouse ale designation will have a bit of a funky flavor, kind of like wet hay or earth. It will also be tart, like an unripened strawberry, and leave your mouth crisp and dry. Other than that, the possibilities are endless. When Phil Markowski, current brewmaster at Two Roads Brewing and author of “Farmhouse Ales,” asked Belgian brewers to define the style, he was told it should be something that’s dry, but not too dry, a brew for the season, and something special."

"text": "Beer Should Beer Be Served Cold?by Matt Miller 3 years ago Follow @foodergolove Tweet Share x Comment It is a humorous stereotype that Americans like their beer extremely cold — almost freezing — so that when they visit the UK, they are shocked at the fat that much pub beer is served at room temperature. There are arguments for and against the proper serving temperature of food, wine, liquor, and beer. Much of it is personal preference. But there are actually reasons behind the theory, and it is surprising to many beer drinkers that some beers are not meant to be chilled. The idea behind temperatures in Gastronomy is this: the warmer the food or drink, the more its flavors are perceived by the tongue. That is certainly an axiom of taste. See, food and drinks often have broad, rich, deep flavor profiles, and the colder they are served, the less of this flavor profile that is discernible to the palate. This is certainly true of beer. Just as it is impossible to hear all of the nuances of a great song at a low volume, so is it impossible to really experience a great beer if it is served too cold. Consider, for example, a really good rye IPA (India Pale Ale brewer with rye)."

It is sharp, sherbety, and exploding with flavors. Because of the dosage needed to start the secondary fermentation, these were sometimes known as \"\"sugar\"\" beers.

Most low-alcohol beers are lagers, but there are some low-alcohol ales. In the United States, beverages containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) were legally called non-alcoholic, according to the now-defunct Volstead Act. Because of its very low alcohol content, non-alcoholic beer may be legally sold to minors in many American states. In the United Kingdom, the following definitions apply by law (correct as of May 2007): [1]No alcohol or alcohol-free: not more than 0.05% ABVDealcoholized: over 0.05% but less than 0.5% ABVLow-alcohol: not more than 1.2% ABVIn some parts of the European Union, beer must contain no more than 0.5% ABV if it is labelled \"\"alcohol-free\"\".

More recently, the temperance movements and the need to avoid alcohol while driving, operating machinery etc led to the development of non-intoxicating beers.

"text": "Saison Beer – Belgian Farmhouse Ale Recipesby Brad Smith on October 8, 2010 · 8 comments Follow @Beer Smith Saison is a light, refreshing ale originally brewed in farmhouses in the French speaking regions of Belgium for field workers. Now the beer is brewed in many locations around the world. Its a complex style with a mix of fruity aroma and flavor, some spiciness and even a hint of tartness. Today I’ll take a look at the history of Saison, how to brew it and some Saison recipes. The History of Saison Saison originated in Wallonia, the French speaking southern half of Belgium. It was traditionally brewed for the fall season to refresh farm workers during the harvest. “ Saison” is the French word for season, as Saisons were most frequently brewed in the fall/winter seasons and then stored for the following fall’s harvest. It shares some characteristics with its cousin, Biere de Garde. Saison was also moderate to highly hopped to survive the long storage period. While modern Saison’s range from 5-8% ABV, traditional Saison had a much lower alcohol content of 3-4% ABV."

The question of what to use isn’t one with a simple answer. So when deciding on what is right for your mead, here are a few things to consider: Bottle Type The bottle you choose says a lot about what is inside. Once you decide on the type of bottle you want to use, the choice of closure is easy. If you are bottling your mead in a wine bottle, you need to go with a cork. If you want to use the 12oz or 22 oz Beer Bottles, go with the crown cap. You can even use a crown on American style champagne bottles.

"text": "What Makes a Saison a Saison? Emily Hutto set out on a quest to find out how craft-beer brewers across the country defined “saison.” Here’s what she found. Emily Hutto 2 years ago Polling craft-beer artisans about what makes a saison a saison, I received diverse responses, to say the least. Dann Paquette of Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project talked about sessionable English ales; Ryan Greenhagen of Mystic Brewing discussed local ingredients; Jason Yester of Trinity Brewing showed me paintings by impressionist artists; Gordon Schuck of Funkwerks elaborated on the aromatic possibilities of Opal hops; Ron Extract of Jester King Brewery quoted Yvan De Baets; and Chase Healey of Prairie Artisan Ales talked about the weather. In their varied approaches to saison, these brewers demonstrate just how versatile the style is. They’ve led me to the conclusion that a saison is whatever you make it be. Here’s how each of them has made the style his own. Rustic, Low Alcohol For Boston’s Pretty Things Beer and Ale Project Co-owner Dann Paquette, saison is a rustic, low alcohol style of beer. “ I have spent a lot of time brewing English beers, and I think there’s some sort of English equivalent for saison—from people working in fields, that sort of thing,” he says. “"

"text": "\"Beer Beer and Food Pairings The perfect brews to compliment your favorite meals IIf someone ordered an Indian Pale Ale with their cheese, would that be so wrong? No. It's all about personal preference after all. Wine always has its place beside any aged, dairy delicacy—or other less moldy edibles—but a perfect lager or ale can stand up to any red or white vino when pairing food and drink. \"\" Beer is a great match for food because of the complexity of its flavors, its ability to provide refreshment and to interact with many food flavors,\"\" says Marc Stroobandt, master beer sommelier for the Food and Beer Consultancy, UK. \"\" Even before the meal, beer already is doing its work for food pairing as the hops stimulate the appetite. \"\" When pairing beer and food, it all comes down to matching the food's flavors to the flavors of the beers. We went directly to the experts to get their advice on mating the best brews with your favorite bites. Beer and Sushi What better way to wash down this tasty fare than with a bottle of Kirin Ichiban.

See which is the best American beer city. Folks in the beer industry like to say that brewers don't really make beer. Brewers make wort—which is the stuff that yeast makes into beer. Folks in the brewery can do a whole lot to ensure the yeast does what they want through temperature control and careful selection of isolated strains of yeast, but in the end, they bow to the whims of the billions of tiny organisms they seek to feed with delicious, delicious grain-derived sugar. Yeast and its performance has a huge impact on a brewer's final product. But what does that taste like? The most used yeast in craft brewing is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is used in the beer world to produce ales."

These celiac-friendly brews, including Dogfish Head and Lakefront Brewery beers, can hold their own against any full gluten varieties By Rachael Schultz | Jan 23, 2015Topics: beer, gluten-free Dogfish Head Tweason’ale1 of 12All photos Surprisingly (and thankfully! ), Dogfish Head does gluten-free beer just as well as they do regular brews. This sorghum-based ale is released four times a year in between their seasonal suds. Flavored with strawberries, sweetened with a bit of buckwheat honey, and topped off with hints of molasses and mild hops, the brew has a mild, fruity taste. ( And it's delicious, just like these 10 Gluten-Free Breakfast Recipes . ) Photo: Dogfish Head Craft Brewery Green Dubbel Dark Ale2 of 12All photos After beer-loving Belgian Derek Green was diagnosed with celiac disease, he set out to make a tasty, allergy-free beer. He first created the Discovery Amber Ale, then the Quest Tripel Blonde and Enterprise Lager. While all of these varieties kick most traditional beers' butt, it’s really his Dubbel Dark Ale that takes the gluten-free cake. This dark ale has more depth than most wheat-less brews, but still offers hints of fruit, chocolate, and even candy notes to make the sipping supurb."

"text": "Toys R Us announced plans to close 182 stores nationwide, creating new opportunities for big-box stores, online retailers and mom-and-pop shops to pick up a larger share of the toy business. The retail chain, which filed for bankruptcy protection in September, has been fighting an uphill battle to stay relevant amid growing competition from the likes of Target, Walmart and Amazon.com. It’s woes only seemed to magnify in recent months: The retail industry enjoyed its best holiday season in years, but Toys R Us struggled to find its footing. “Target, Walmart, Amazon — they’ve smelled weakness for some time, so they’ve stepped it up in their toy selection,” said Kelly O’Keefe, a professor of brand management at Virginia Commonwealth University. “ There’s no question that they’re going to benefit from Toys R Us’s failure. I mean, think about it: Why would anyone go to Toys R Us, when they can go to Target and Walmart and buy toys at the same time they buy pantyhose and celery?”Online sales of toys have also picked up in recent years, as Amazon.com, Walmart and others have expanded their selections. Roughly 14 percent of toy purchases were made online in 2016, up from about 7 percent in 2011, according to research firm Global Data Retail. Toys R Us, meanwhile, has been slow to adapt. The retailer offers free shipping on orders over $29, but analysts say the site feels dated and clunky. ( Amazon chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos also owns The Washington Post. )“"

"text": "\"Competition From Everywhere Has Hasbro, Mattel in Toyland Showdown The Giants of the Industry Are Creeping Onto Each Other's Turfs By Shareen Pathak . Published on December 02, 2013. Forget the most wonderful time of the year. For Mattel and Hasbro, it's the most stressful. The toy giants are entering the holiday season -- which accounts for a whopping 40% of their annual revenue -- trying to win a larger piece of a limited market. Credit: Daniel Hertzberg for Ad Age According to estimates by Euromonitor, the U. S toy market has generated sales ranging from $17 billion to $20 billion between 1998 and 2012, fluctuating between growth and decline any given year. In 2013, it's forecast to be worth $19.9 billion. But in the search for new revenue sources, the giants are creeping onto one anothers' traditional turfs. Hasbro, maker of Transformers and G. I. Joe, is starting to focus more on girls' toys, where Mattel has dominated for years; No. 1 Mattel is investing more in content and entertainment, where Hasbro is ahead of the game."

"text": "Getting low prices takes patience Perhaps the most underrated savings tool is simple patience. When a new consumer product hits the shelves — say, a DVD of a movie that came out recently or a new model of a laptop — it’s generally sold at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, or MSRP. After some time has passed, however, that price will start to drop. This happens either because the retailer decides to put it on sale or because the manufacturer itself decides to implement a price cut to boost sales. So how long do you actually have to wait to start seeing the price decrease? For individual products it will depend a lot on sales figures. The Nintendo 3DS, for instance, saw a price cut of $80 after just five months, a move prompted by sluggish sales. But it’s also possible to look at past trends to estimate average wait times for different classes of products. To do so, we researched a number of price-tracking sites to find out just how much patience shoppers need to show to get the best price. Here’s how long you can expect to wait before that new product you have your eye on will see its first significant drop in price."

Cheryl · 7 years ago0 0 Comment Alot of times a dog learns better when they're induced to do an action and they hear the command after. As time goes by and the dog does the same thing over and over while hearing the same word right after, they will learn to associate the word with the action. Then you can start giving the command first. Get your dog to dop the ball AND THEN give the Drop-it command along with praise and other positive reinforcement."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Vintage Cabbage Patch Dolls Buying Guidee Bay 17 Likes Like3 March 2016Cabbage Patch Kids were one of the biggest toy fads of the 1980s with more than 65 million dolls sold by the year 1990. It was also one of the longest-running doll franchises in America. Interest sparked and reached an all-time high when doll creator, Xavier Roberts ,, opened a doll factory known as Baby Land General Hospital where he marketed and sold dolls in a recreated hospital-like setting. Employees dressed in maternity ward attire to fully play the role. It was here that these Cabbage Patch Dolls were \"\"born\"\" and adopted by families. Since the 1980s, the target audience for Cabbage Patch Dolls has shifted from young boys and girls to a wider spectrum of not only children but also collectors interested in buying these vintage items because the dolls hold a special sentiment to past memories and have an investment value. The passion of collecting these dolls has led to a continued frenzy as buyers shop marketplaces such as e Bay searching for the perfect addition to their family. A Brief History of the Cabbage Patch Kids In 1978, Xavier Roberts created a doll line called \"\"Little People,\"\" which stemmed from a German fabric-sculpture technique known as \"\"needle molding.\"\" He started selling these dolls at craft fairs across the southern United States and later created a doll factory known as Baby Land General Hospital where he continued to make and sell hand-sewn original works. The popularity of these dolls took off after Roberts was featured on the documentary TV show \"\"Real People,\"\" and in 1892, Roberts entered into a licensing deal with a major toy manufacturer, Coleco .. It was at this point that Coleco changed the name of Roberts' doll line to Cabbage Patch Kids."

"text": "\"What does \"\"Made in Hong Kong' say about an object's age? RINKER ON COLLECTIBLESNovember 21, 2003 | By Harry Rinker Special to The Morning Call - Freelance Dear Harry: If an item is dated \"\"Made in Hong Kong\"\" or just \"\"Hong Kong,\"\" what does that tell about its age? S. R., E-mail question Dear S. R.: This is a great question, one of those facts everyone in the collectibles field should know. Doing the research was fun. The Mc Kinley Tariff Act of 1891 required that goods imported into the United States be marked with their country of origin. The goods did not have to be permanently marked. A paper label was and still is acceptable. In the broadest interpretation, \"\"Made in Hong Kong\"\" means only that the item was made some time after 1891. However, my assumption is that you are really asking about a wide range of plastic items, from Barbie to snow domes, marked \"\"Made in Hong Kong\"\" that arrived in the American market in the early 1950s through the early 1970s. During a recent visit to the Brass Armadillo Antiques Mall in Des Moines, I was glancing through the antiques and collectibles reference books for sale and came across Andrew G. Ralston's \"\"Toys Cars of Japan and Hong Kong\"\" (Schiffer Publishing, 2001; $39.95; 160 pp.)."

"text": "\"From afar, the movie business might look pretty glamorous. Celebrities and producers glide down red carpets, clutch their Oscars and vacation in St. Bart’s… just because they can. While there's a lot of money to be made in the film industry, the economics of movie making are far from simple. Something you’ll likely hear if you walk through the halls of any movie studio is, “nobody knows anything.” And it’s true. The public can be fickle, the industry is in flux, and any movie is an extremely risky investment, even a film starring big names. According to the Motion Picture Association of America’s (MPAA) Theatrical Market Statistics for 2016, U. S. and Canadian box office was $11.4 billion a 2% improvement from 2015. Globally the box office for films hit $38.6 billion in 2016. It’s nowhere as straightforward as the early days of cinema when a movie would come out in theaters, make the vast majority of its revenues via ticket sales, and then essentially disappear. Major studios and indie filmmakers alike now spend much of their days looking for new sources of revenue, because ticket sales are no longer the be-all and end-all for films."

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. An analysis of the Liquidity ratios helps these stakeholders determine the extent to which the company has the cash necessary to fund its operations and plans.the extent to which the company is relying on external debt to fund its operations and plans."

Understanding an income statement is essential for investors in order to analyze the profitability and future growth of a company, which should play a huge role in deciding whether or not to invest in it. In the context of corporate financial reporting, the income statement summarizes a company's revenues (sales) and expenses, quarterly and annually for its fiscal year. The final net figure, as well as various other numbers in the statement, are of major interest to the investment community. Read on to learn how to break down a financial statement.

( Algerina Perna / Baltimore Sun)Lorraine Mirabella Contact Reporter The Baltimore Sun European parents of Giant and Food Lion to merge in $29 billion deal The $29 billion merger of the European owners of Giant, long the Baltimore region's dominant supermarket chain, and Food Lion would make both grocery brands more competitive with nontraditional grocers such as Wal-Mart, analysts said Wednesday. A marriage of Dutch retailer Royal Ahold, which owns Landover-based Giant and other East Coast chains, and rival Delhaize Group of Belgium, parent of low-cost operator Food Lion, would create the fourth-largest U. S. grocer and be the latest in a series of supermarket buyouts and mergers. The combined company, Ahold Delhaize, would have more than 6,500 stores around the world with 50 million customers a week in the U. S. and Europe, generating about 61 percent of its sales in the United States. The merging companies offered little guidance on plans for their many U. S. banners, and analysts suggested that the deal wouldn't result in significant closings, particularly in Baltimore. Giant, with 158 stores and 20,000 workers in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, retained its No. 1 rank last year among Baltimore-area food retailers, according to trade journal Food World. But the chain, which traces its roots to a grocery store opened in 1936 in D. C., has lost market share in each of the past five years. In this year's ranking, Giant was joined in the top 10 by such nontraditional food retailers as Wal-Mart, Rite Aid, CVS and Target. Food Lion, which ranked 11th in the Baltimore area, has about 79 stores in Maryland, with about 40 to 50 employees per store. \"\""

Since you can build BA experience without having the BA job title, a transitional role can be an opportunity to maintain or grow your current income stream while also accumulating the qualifications you need to become a BA . You can seek a transitional job role at your current employer or in a new company. In fact, you might already be in one. In this article, I describe the jobs that we most often see people in before they find their first BA job. For each role, we’ll also look at how to turn this job into a transitional opportunity on your path to business analysis. First, we’ll look at a set of roles that have relatively easier entry paths, which are a good fit if you are coming from a role that is very distant from business analysis or are newly entering the job market. Then we’ll look at roles that have their own hefty experience requirements but that provide nice segues into business analysis. They are good options if you are already qualified or close to qualified to fill them. Finally, we’ll wrap things up with some tips for choosing what option makes the most sense to you. ("

Comparative statements are financial reports that compare a given financial statement with either a prior time period or another company. Comparative statements add two critical dimensions to the analysis of a company that can't be seen using the financial statements alone. The trend is your friend The three financial statements -- the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows -- each do an excellent job of informing investors and managers of the financial condition of a business. The income statement is great for understanding how a company's sales and expenses translated into earnings over a period of time. The balance sheet shows what a company owns, what it owes, and its net worth at a point in time. The statement of cash flows reconciles the income statement and balance sheet to show how a company is managing its cash. All of this information is critical to understanding how a company's operations translate into financial results. However, it doesn't tell the full story. First, financial statements alone can't show us trends."

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

Microsoft said that it expected revenue and earnings for the current quarter to be somewhat higher than the average estimates of securities analysts. Corporate spending on information technology continues to be sluggish, but Microsoft's executives anticipate stronger demand from business in the first half of next year, based on conversations and surveys of customers. '' The improvement won't look like a hockey-stick graph, but we do expect corporate spending to improve,'' Microsoft's chief financial officer, John Connors, said in an interview. Microsoft, the world's largest software company, is closely watched as a bellwether in the technology business. But it is uncertain whether its steady performance last quarter and its modestly optimistic outlook will reassure investors who are concerned that this year's run-up in technology stocks -- the Nasdaq market is up 41 percent -- may not be justified by the moderate improvement in business. Shares of Microsoft, which reported its results after the 4 p.m. close of the market, fell about 2 percent, to $28.25, in after-hours trading, according to Instinet. In regular trading, its shares rose 2 cents, to $28.91. Microsoft's quarterly report included one notable weak spot."

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. Buy-side firms could be mutual fund companies, registered investment advisors, hedge funds, or perhaps family offices. They are typically compensated by their clientele directly for managing their assets - either as a fixed fee, or more commonly as a percentage of assets under management Sell-side firms are focused on transactional business...specifically helping buy-side firms transact in assets they wish to purchase or sell.

"text": "The difference between current ratio and quick ratio is that the former includes inventory in its equation, while the latter does not. Current ratio measures the liquidity of a company by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. The quick ratio does essentially the same thing, but can be used when the inventory attached to the company is of a variable value. Assessing the long-term value of inventory can help an analyst when deciding between current ratio and quick ratio as a means of determining company liquidity. There are several reasons an inventory may not keep its original sale value. A company may need to mark down prices in order to make sufficient sales to stay profitable or even to remain in business. It may also be necessary to drop prices when too much capital is tied up in inventory. When determining liquidity, an analyst may use both the current ratio and quick ratio. The quick ratio may be used first, in order to determine that the company has the resources to make operating costs. Then the current ratio could be used to determine the actual current liquidity."

Here, we share the best tips from our experts and readers to help you do so.1. Define What Constitutes a Quality Customer Interaction and What You are Measuring The aim of quality monitoring from an operational point of view is to identify the calls failing to meet predefined standards and get to the root cause of why. You can then make informed decisions to make the process better, faster and quicker. For example, implement or refine agent training and coaching initiatives to bridge skills gaps, correct broken internal processes, improve workforce scheduling, or perhaps alert other areas of the organisation that are having an impact. To achieve this, you need to be able to evaluate a representative sample of interactions. The smaller the sample, the less accurate your benchmark scoring will be, and you will run the risk of making the wrong decisions.2.

Operations research analysts are high-level problem-solvers who use advanced techniques, such as optimization, data mining, statistical analysis and mathematical modeling, to develop solutions that help businesses and organizations operate more efficiently and cost-effectively. For example, UPS uses operations research to chart the flow of packages, provide real-time route guidance to drivers and help plan and manage distribution. In the health care field, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York used operations research to design a radiation treatment plan for prostate patients using sophisticated modeling and computation techniques. Anne Robinson, director of supply chain strategy and analytics for Verizon Wireless and past president of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, says, in a nutshell, operations research analysts provide the insights for businesses to make decisions at the next level. \"\" This is really decision guidance. Companies are trying to get value out of big data and analytics platforms investments, and they need the right talent to take it from raw data to an intelligent asset for business,\"\" says Robinson, whose focus includes developing models to ensure Verizon stores have enough inventory to meet demand. Operations research originated with military planners in World War II, according to INFORMS, but businesses and other organizations soon began adopting the techniques. Today, operations research analysts can be found in virtually every industry, from manufacturing to finance and throughout the spectrum of government agencies.

In competitive industries, each firm formulates a strategy it is prepared to exploit. What is Business Strategy? Business strategy is sometimes defined simply as a firm's high level plan for reaching specific business objectives. Strategies succeed when they lead to business growth, a strong competitive position, and strong financial performance. When the high level strategy fails, however, the firm must either change strategy or prepare to go out of business. The brief definition above is accurate but, for practical help, many businesspeople prefer instead a slightly longer definition: Business strategy is the firm's working plan for achieving its vision, prioritizing objectives, competing successfully, and optimizing financial performance with its business model. The choice of objectives is the heart of the strategy, but a complete strategy also describes specifically how the firm plans to meet these objectives. As a result, the strategy explains in practical terms how the firm differentiates itself from competitors, how it earns revenues, and where it earns margins. Strategies Reflect the Firm's Strengths, Vulnerabilities, Resources, and Opportunities."

A gold dredge is a placer mining machine that extracts gold from sand, gravel, and dirt using water and mechanical methods. The original gold dredges were large, multi-story machines built in the first half of the 1900s. Small suction machines are currently marketed as \"\"gold dredges\"\" to individuals seeking gold: just offshore from the beach of Nome, Alaska, for instance. A large gold dredge uses a mechanical method to excavate material (sand, gravel, dirt, etc.) using steel \"\"buckets\"\" on a circular, continuous \"\"bucketline\"\" at the front end of the dredge. The material is then sorted/sifted using water."

"text": "Isthmus The shockwave of Panama Canal expansion is reshaping cities throughout the Americas. We need to look through the lens of landscape, not logistics. Brian Davis, Rob Holmes & Brett Milligan December 2015 [Panama Canal Authority]Over the past five hundred years, the Panamanian isthmus has been transformed by a succession of megaprojects: the first colonial European city on the Pacific Coast; the mule trains that moved the plundered silver of Bolivia and Peru to Atlantic ports; the first railroad to cross the continental divide; the failed project to construct a sea-level canal connecting the two oceans; and then the immense complex of locks, dams, artificial lakes, and engineered channels that constitute the Panama Canal, which opened in 1914. Now the canal is being reconfigured by a $5.5 billion expansion project scheduled for completion early next year. 1 Approved by national referendum in 2006, the expansion effectively doubles the canal’s capacity by adding a new set of locks to accommodate larger container ships. Chambers with walls 50 feet thick are being grafted directly onto bedrock, like extensions of the isthmus itself. 2 But the construction — monumental as it is — is only a small part of the story. More important is how the Panama Canal expansion is altering logistical relationships and generating new infrastructures throughout the American Hemisphere. Chambers with walls 50 feet thick are being grafted directly onto bedrock, like extensions of the isthmus itself. Almost as soon as the referendum passed, port authorities from Miami to Lima began racing to complete their own expansion programs: dredging deeper shipping channels, installing larger gantry cranes, and building new container yards, in speculative efforts to compete for the ultra-large container ships that will transit the widened canal."

Till versus gravel and sand Sand, gravel, and specialty sand are major raw materials mined in Indiana. Weathering of rocks forms pieces of rock of various sizes and shapes as seen in Figure 1. Gravel consists of unconsolidated deposits made of pieces of rock greater than two mm in size and is almost always accompanied by sand deposits made of smaller pieces of sand. Even smaller sizes of silt and clay occur but such are usually removed by screening or washing during processing. Indiana has benefited from many deposits left by glacial actions. From about 12,000 to 2 million years ago, great, continental glaciers covered much of Indiana. Earth's climates changed such that large continental ice sheets grew and pressed southward from polar regions. These glacial ice sheets were enormous with some being miles thick. These ice sheets plowed soils, eroded rocks, and even plucked up solid bedrock and moved the debris into Canada and northern states."

The objective of the CWA is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters. The 1977 law continued the FWPCA requirements to set water quality standards for all surface waters. It also established the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and for addressing problems of nonpoint source pollution. The CWA gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authority to implement pollution control programs and to delegate the authority to do so to states and Indian tribes. The 1977 law and several subsequent amendments also established funding mechanisms for construction of sewage treatment plants.

Photo: AFPMore on this story Have Chinese missed the takeaway from Xi Jinping’s environmental message? K ampot, in southern Cambodia, seemed an unlikely place for a development boom. Its quiet and idyllic streets and neighbourhoods nestled on along the Praek Tuek Chhu River made the rapid pace of so-called progress in other parts of South-east Asia feel worlds away. But that quiet was shattered seven years ago as a wave of infrastructure projects began to swell, including the restoration of a railway that linked to the capital, the refurbishment of colonial buildings and the construction of a resort in nearby by Bokor Hill. The rapid development that followed created a need for raw materials, especially one: sand to make cement and concrete. And in the quiet Kampot, the sight of dredging barges, that extracted sand from the estuary of the river, became frequent. As development spread, the extraction of seemingly endless sand became more prosperous. During this time, Cambodia was also exporting sand to Singapore, which had an insatiable appetite for the material to expand its territory through artificial islands.

Titanium occurs in rocks in the form of oxide and silicate minerals. Of greatest economic value are titanium-bearing oxide minerals such as ilmenite, rutile, anatase, brookite, perovskite and magnetite. Rutile (titanium dioxide) and ilmenite (35% - 65% titanium dioxide) are the two primary sources of titanium products, with ilmenite the most abundant (Force, E. R, 1991). Ilmenite ore is sourced through the mining of magmatic and heavy mineral sand (also referred to as placer) deposits. Mining of mineral sands are Australia’s main source of titanium. The principal components of heavy mineral sands are rutile (Ti O 2 ), ilmenite (Fe Ti O 3 ), zircon (Zr Si O 4) and monazite ( [Ce,La,Th]PO 4 ). Minor amounts of xenotime (YPO 4 ), an yttrium-bearing phosphate hosting 54% to 65% rare earth oxides may also be present. Rutile, ilmenite, leucoxene (an alteration product of ilmenite) are used predominantly in the production of Ti O 2 pigment. The titanium-bearing minerals rutile and leucoxene are sometimes blended to produce Hi Ti (high-grade titanium with a Ti O 2 content of 70% to 95%) which is used as a feedstock to produce Ti O 2, make titanium metals for the aerospace industry and in the manufacture of welding rods."

It refers both to the increased concentration of suspended sediments, and to the increased accumulation (temporary or permanent) of fine sediments on bottoms where they are undesirable. Siltation is most often caused by soil erosion or sediment spill. Sometimes siltation is called sediment pollution, although that is an undesirable term since it is ambiguous, and can also be used to refer to a chemical contamination of sediments accumulated on the bottom, or pollutants bound to sediment particles. Siltation is the preferred term for being unambigiuous, even if not entirely stringent since it also includes other particle sizes than silt.

The Many Rewards of Finding Gold Anyone who pans for gold hopes to be rewarded by the glitter of colors in the fine material collected in the bottom of the pan. Although the exercise and outdoor activity experienced in prospecting are rewarding, there are few thrills comparable to finding gold. Even an assay report showing an appreciable content of gold in a sample obtained from a lode deposit is exciting. The would-be prospector hoping for financial gain, however, should carefully consider all the pertinent facts before deciding on a prospecting venture. Few Prospectors Find Valuable Gold Deposits Only a few prospectors among the many thousands who searched the western part of the United States ever found a valuable deposit. Most of the gold mining districts in the West were located by pioneers, many of whom were experienced gold miners from the southern Appalachian region, but even in colonial times only a small proportion of the gold seekers were successful."

The fall in water level from Lake Huron to Lake St. Clair is about five feet. The upper reach, extending downstream from Lake Huron to a point about three miles below the International Blue Water Bridge, is about 800 feet wide at its narrowest point and has mid-channel depths varying from about 30 to 70 feet. Maximum velocities of the St. Clair River occur in this reach near the Blue Water Bridge. The middle reach, which extends downstream for approximately the next 27 miles, is about one-half mile wide and has channel depths varying from 27 to 50 feet. Located in this reach are Stag and Fawn Islands and a middle ground shoal opposite the City of St. Clair, Michigan. The lower reach of the St. Clair River extends about 9 miles to Lake St. Clair. In this reach the river divides into several meandering channels as it flows across a delta area, known as the St. Clair Flats, into Lake St. Clair. The channel first splits about 1-1/2 miles below Roberts Landing, as the Chenal Ecarté leaves the main channel and flows to the east. This small channel, which carries about five percent of the total river flow, meanders through marsh and wetland, splitting into several smaller channels that empty into Lake St. Clair."

Typical compact excavators have a lower machine weight than standard excavators. This allows the excavators to be moved between jobsites more easily, and also provides a reduction in fuel costs. To more efficiently maneuver and operate in confined spaces, compact excavator manufacturers have implemented a number of features including tail swing configuration and smaller undercarriage width. Tail swing configuration The tail swing configuration of compact excavators is crucial when working around obstacles such as vehicles, walls, etc. If the excavator tail comes into contact with these obstacles during a swing, both the obstacles and the machine can be damaged. Compact excavator manufactures have implemented several innovative technologies to handle this, including reduced tail swing and zero tail swing configurations. Reduced tail swing configurations provide a tight swing with only a few inches of overhang. This allows operators to get close to obstacles without the possibility of hitting them during a swing. Zero tail configuration is the tightest swing available."

During the nineteen-thirties, erosion became a national issue because of the dust bowl and as a result the Soil Erosion Service was established. Since the nineteen-thirties, the study of sediment erosion, transport, deposition, and intrusion has increased exponentially in the United States. Considering all of the past and current research, it is difficult to focus on essential research, but with limited resources it is imperative to refine the topics and prioritize the necessary areas of study. The same scoping is also true for treatment practices. The best and most effective treatment should be used on the most critical habitat. Establishing this systematic prioritization is a challenging but substantive endeavor. Historical Perspective One of the first well-distributed articles published was written by M. M. Ellis in 1936. Ellis covered many aspects of the effects of silt in aquatic systems, including light penetration, temperature adjustment, electrolytes, bottom conditions, and retention of organic matter."

Newcomb, Extension Specialists, Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences, Virginia Tech Aquatic plants growing in ponds and lakes are beneficial for fish and wildlife. They provide food, dissolved oxygen, and spawning and nesting habitat for fish and waterfowl. Aquatic plants can trap excessive nutrients and detoxify chemicals. Aquatic wildflowers such as the water lily are sold and planted to provide floral beauty to garden ponds. However, dense growths (over 25% of the surface area) of algae and other water plants can seriously interfere with pond recreation and threaten aquatic life. Water plants can restrict swimming, boating, fishing, and other water sports. Water plants can impart unpleasant taste (musty flavor), decaying vegetation emits offensive odors (rotten egg smell), and algae can discolor pond waters. Dense growths of plants can cause night time oxygen depletion and fish kills. Green plants produce oxygen in sunlight, but they consume oxygen at night. Decomposing water weeds can deplete the oxygen supply, resulting in sport fish kills from suffocation."

GE executives probably hoped the deal would bury the issue forever, and that everyone concerned about the PCBs lying on the bottom of the river would let nature take its course. But persistent concerns about the PCB contamination have caused EPA to study the issue on a continuous basis since the site was listed as the nation's largest Superfund site in the early 1980s. Finally, on December 6, 2000 after 16 years of studies, proposals and more studies, U. S. EPA announced a 5-year plan to dredge 2.65 million cubic yards of PCB-contaminated sediment along a forty-mile stretch of the river below two old GE factories in Hudson Falls and Fort Edward. The proposed dredging project would remove 100,000 pounds of PCBs from various high-concentration hot spots. \"\" This river needs to be cleaned up. It will not clean itself,\"\" EPA administrator Carol Browner said at the press conference where the proposal was announced. \"\" My strong desire would be that we not simply study this river to death, but we get on with actually cleaning this river. \"\" The cost of EPA's proposal to GE: $460 million."

"text": "Sanibel and Captiva Islands Blind Pass, Sanibel Island - Southwest Florida Beauty By Mark M Washburn Blind Pass is one of the best kept secrets in Southwest Florida, a rare jewel that is open to anyone lucky enough to live or be visiting near the barrier reef islands of Captiva and Sanibel. Until recently, Blind Pass was a naturally occurring channel of water that separated the two islands. Because it connects the bay with the gulf, Blind Pass is one of the best shelling spots in Florida. Its waters yield seashells that inhabit both the bay and gulf in one consolidated location. After a fierce storm, Turner Beach, the beach adjoining the Pass, is frequently covered with a bounty of shells from Olives to Fighting Whelks to the more common Conchs. The fishing is also renowned with sharks in the summer, tailing redfish on the bayside flats and snook under and off the Blind Pass bridge. Because Turner Beach faces Westward, the sunsets are spectacular and a popular viewing point for residents and visitors alike. For many first-time visitors, the experience of driving over the Blind Pass bridge from Sanibel to Captiva is like driving from one fantasy to another. The first Blind Pass bridge was built in 1918. Before then a county ferry crossed the pass in 1911."

"text": "P&Q University Lesson 8- Screening By PQ Staff | August 10, 2015Screens are used to make everything from large rip rap to fine sand. Aggregate material is separated into sizes through the use of screens. In most crushed-stone operations, this process occurs after the shotrock has been processed by a primary crusher. The role of screening in the processing flow is to size and separate material ahead of secondary and tertiary crushing circuits, and/or to size and separate material in preparation for final product stockpiling. The bottom line is that crushers produce the material; screens separate the material; and screening efficiency affects the operation’s overall performance. Screening is both art and science. The art of screening lies in the meticulous fine tuning, tweaking and synchronizing of screen setups within a near-limitless number of applications. Its science is stratification. In other words, the vibration of the screen deck agitates the material causing it to stratify, allowing the larger particles to remain on the top deck and the smaller particles to fall through the openings of the screening surface. Screening efficiency is calculated as the percentage of the undersize materials passing through the openings divided by the percentage of undersize in the feed."

"text": "\"Flag What is the spiritual meaning of a sandpiper bird? Answer by X442bnj872kh7 Confidence votes 2.4KTo find the meaning of a bird, think about its distinctive qualities. A sandpiper is a bird that stays close to the ground; it flies awkwardly. So it has a closer relationship to the earth compared with other birds: symbolically it stays grounded in the sensory world while other birds soar freely in the emptiness of the spiritual sky. But since it is a shorebird, the sandpiper also is intimate with the water element. The shore is a \"\"threshold\"\" region, a place of transition between two different states--in this case, the transition between the earth/beach and the ocean. The earth can represent the familiar physical life of the world, with all its limitations, while the ocean is the infinite sea of spirit or divinity, a place of vast unknown possibilities. As one passes through a threshold, it is like being initiated into an unknown territory or a new level of consciousness or being. Sandpipers are seen busily rushing along this seaside threshold, quickly approaching the water but at once retreating as the tide comes in. This could symbolize a spiritual condition of being poised between the worlds (earthly and heavenly)."

Spotted sandpipers are brown on their crown, neck, back and wings, and bright white on their face, throat, chest and belly. They are called spotted sandpipers because they have black spots on their white undersides. Females usually have larger spots than males.

"text": "\"The Sandpiper (1965)User Reviews Review this title52 Reviews Hide Spoilers Sort by: Filter by Rating:6 /10The Golden Couple of the Sixties James Hitchcock 19 November 2010\"\"The Sandpiper\"\" was the second in a number of films (\"\"The VIPs\"\" was the first) made together by Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Their romance, which had begun on the set of \"\"Cleopatra\"\", had both enthralled and scandalised the public, and the studios wanted to make the most of their notoriety. The public perception of Dick and Liz as a glamorous but scandalous couple can only have been increased by the subject-matter of \"\"The Sandpiper\"\". At one time a film about a clergyman engaged in an adulterous affair would have been an unthinkable violation of the Production Code. By 1965, however, the Code, although not quite dead, was no longer in robust health, and a film on this subject, although still highly controversial, was no longer impossible. Taylor's character, Laura Reynolds, is an unmarried mother who works as an artist and lives with her nine-year-old son Danny in an isolated California beach house. ( The film's title derives from an injured sandpiper which she rescues and nurses back to health thereafter and becomes a symbol of freedom). Danny's behaviour, however, has got him into trouble with the law, and a judge orders her to send the boy to a local boarding school. Laura is reluctant to do this; she is a free spirit who distrusts any form of institutionalised education. To make matters worse from her point of view, the school is run by the Episcopalian Church, and she is an atheist whose attitude to religion is one of positive hostility rather than mere indifference."

They nest in coastal wetlands, bogs, sedge meadows, and tussock heaths. At the southern reaches of their breeding range, in Nova Scotia and British Columbia, they also nest in sand dunes. During migration they stop on coastal mudflats, rocky shorelines, and inland habitats including wet meadows, flooded fields, and muddy edges of lakes, ponds, and ditches. They winter from the southern United States through the northern half of South America in lagoons, mangrove forests, wet ditches, swamps, wet fields, mudflats, saltmarshes, tidal sloughs, and the edges of lakes, ponds, and rivers. Back to top Food Least Sandpipers eat mostly insects and other invertebrates. They forage on moist mud toward the edges of broad mudflats, sparse cobble beaches, or openings in marsh vegetation. During the breeding season they also forage in drier upland areas such as tundra. They eat small invertebrates such as amphipods, isopods, gastropods, horseshoe crab eggs, water fleas, midges and flies, beetles, and dragonflies. They peck at prey on the surface and probe damp mud for buried prey, using the surface tension of the water to transport the item quickly from their bill tips to their mouths."

This highly gregarious sandpiper is migratory and sometimes forms huge flocks in its winter grounds, which include southern and western Europe, Africa, southern Asia and Australia. The ruff is a long-necked, pot-bellied bird. This species shows marked sexual dimorphism; the male is much larger than the female (the reeve), and has a breeding plumage that includes brightly coloured head tufts, bare orange facial skin, extensive black on the breast, and the large collar of ornamental feathers that inspired this bird's English name. The female and the non-breeding male have grey-brown upperparts and mainly white underparts. Three differently plumaged types of male, including a rare form that mimics the female, use a variety of strategies to obtain mating opportunities at a lek, and the colourful head and neck feathers are erected as part of the elaborate main courting display. The female has one brood per year and lays four eggs in a well-hidden ground nest, incubating the eggs and rearing the chicks, which are mobile soon after hatching, on her own."

Only 8% of the Canadian boreal forest is protected and over 30% has already been designated for logging, energy and other development, much of it within the last decade. The U. S. is the leading importer of Canadian wood products as well as oil and gas, having purchased 20 billion dollars (approximately 80% of Canada's timber exports) worth of Canadian forest products in 2001. Presently trees being logged in the Boreal are primarily pulped and turned into disposable products such as toilet tissue, junk mail, and catalogs. Decisions will be made in the next several years regarding the remaining lands and where development will take place."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-an-assistant-principal-do.htm\nWhat does an Assistant Principal do?",
"text": "An assistant principal typically works at a school and helps the principal in dealing with behavioral problems with students, evaluating teachers, and dealing with certain other school functions such as some extracurricular activities and the cafeteria. Also called a vice principal, the assistant principal will usually handle many of the tasks and needs of the school in order to relieve some of the workload from the principal, and often is more concerned with the day to day maintenance of the school. He or she may also work to prove his or her worthiness for advancement, as many assistant principals take the position as a stepping stone toward becoming a principal. The number of assistant principals at a school typically depends on the size of the school and the number of students, though most schools will have at least one. An assistant principal is heavily involved in the daily routines of the students, teachers, and parents who participate in the education of their children. This often takes the form of discipline when dealing with students whose behavior is disruptive to or unsafe for other students. Disciplinary steps may also be taken when dealing with teachers who are not reaching the mandatory goals set by the state or region in which the school is located. While an assistant principal may not be able to fire teachers or officially reprimand them, he or she will usually be the first person to discuss areas of improvement regularly, before the principal becomes involved. An assistant principal will also often be involved in various aspects of the running of the school itself. Though the principal usually deals with making and managing the budget of the school, the assistant principals will often work to ensure that budgeted activities are handled properly and oversee the workings of extracurricular activities and programs."

The performance indicators are intended to provide clarity and specificity about the skills, beliefs, and knowledge a principal needs to demonstrate effective leadership in improving student achievement. We are sharing them in draft form in the hope that you will share your thoughts and ideas about these critical principal performance behaviors. Please email Lani Seikaly, [email protected], with your input. Effective principals are strong educators, anchoring their work on central issues of learning and teaching and continuous school improvement. According to Mike Schmoker in his book Results: the Key to Continuous School Improvement , the combination of three concepts constitutes the foundation for positive improvement results: meaningful teamwork; clear, measurable goals; and the regular collection and analysis of performance data. Principals must lead their school through the goal-setting process in which student achievement data is analyzed, improvement areas are identified and actions for change are initiated. This process involves working collaboratively with staff and school community to identify discrepancies between current and desired outcomes, to set and prioritize goals to help close the gap, to develop improvement and monitoring strategies aimed at accomplishing the goals, and to communicate goals and change efforts to the entire school community. Principals must also ensure that staff development needs are identified in alignment with school improvement priorities and that these needs are addressed with appropriate professional learning opportunities. Leadership Skills Five performance areas have been identified as the critical leadership skills a principal must demonstrate to effectively lead a school in improving student achievement."

"text": "Why is this component important? A schoolwide literacy action plan is an essential blueprint for improving student achievement. An effective plan requires the skillful use of data about student performance, literacy needs and expectations in the school and community, school capacity to support literacy development, current teaching practices, and effectiveness of the literacy program. To generate change, leaders must actively use a literacy action plan to guide decision making around instruction, programming, and resource allocation. Designing an effective literacy action plan to guide a schoolwide literacy improvement effort is not easy; however, such a plan is essential for school leaders who are serious about addressing the literacy and learning needs of students. In Chapter 7, we describe how school leaders can use student performance data to focus the school on improving students' literacy and learning and make appropriate decisions about student placement. Certainly, student performance data constitute the most critical information that drives planning for literacy improvement. A good plan specifically indicates what types of student performance data are being collected and how the data will be used. However, to ensure that improvement is sustained, additional types of data are important to consider when developing and implementing a comprehensive literacy action plan. After a plan has been developed and implemented, school leaders must then collect data to monitor its success, including the effectiveness of specific literacy interventions."

"text": "\"The Child with Unusual Behaviours - Mood Swings and Sudden Behaviour Changes Table of Contents Select Content to Display Submit Feedback At times a 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. Some children may experience more intense and enduring positive or negative feelings, and sometimes the positive and negative moods appear in alternating cycles or mood swings. For some children, mood swings and behaviour changes may lead to mild, moderate or severe problems of adjustment to school and home life. Severe mood swings are not very common in childhood, occurring in only 1% or fewer children. Milder forms may occur much more frequently. Mood swings can first occur as early as 5 or 6 years of age, but they are rare in this age group. However, by adolescence, the likelihood of the more severe form of mood swings is much greater and similar to that of adults, as high as 1.6%."

According to the principal salary schedule, it will be 2019 before she gets her next pay bump from the state, and she worries that long waits for raises could affect the quality of leadership in public schools. “I think that this is a highly complex job and if you don’t have good principals you’re not going to have a working environment for teachers,” she said. This is just one issue facing principals in a time when education has become one of the hottest political topics in the state. Some principals and officials are also concerned about principal retention, and unintended consequences from last session’s teacher raise that could result in some teachers making more than their administrators. According to the state salary schedules for 2014-15, Mc Millan, who has 15 years of combined experience as a teacher and principal, will have to wait until her 20th year for a raise."

"text": "back to all articles How to Become an Assistant Principal125 Views An assistant principal is the vice-principal of a school and is an essential part of the administration. In order to be hired for such a position you do need to have a post-graduate degree as well as teaching experience. As a rule, most vice-principals hold a Master’s degree and a teaching certificate in the state in which they work. Being a vice-principal is usually a stepping-stone to becoming a principal as it helps you gain experience in what it means to manage a school. Prior to being hired for this position, many also hold other types of administrative positions, such as department heads or co-coordinator positions at the school district level. The requirements for becoming an assistant principal vary from state to state and in the various types of educational facilities. For example, in a private school you may not need to have a teaching certificate and as part of the administration of a daycare facility, you may not even need to hold a university degree. In the regular school system, you do need to be licensed to work as an assistant principal. This means you have to take the tests for the state licensing and pass courses dealing with school administration. For the first year on the job, your work will be evaluated, after which time you may be offered the position permanently."

Some assistant principals hold this position for several years to prepare for advancement to principal jobs; others are career assistant principals. They are primarily responsible for scheduling student classes, ordering textbooks and supplies, and coordinating transportation, custodial, cafeteria, and other support services. They usually handle student discipline and attendance problems, social and recreational programs, and health and safety matters. They also may counsel students on personal, educational, or vocational matters. With the advent of site-based management, assistant principals are playing a greater role in ensuring the academic success of students by helping to develop new curricula, evaluating teachers, and dealing with school-community relations—responsibilities previously assumed solely by the principal."

Ringel Lucrecia Santibañez Cassandra Guarino Bonnie Ghosh-Dastidar Abigail Brown Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.econedurev.2005.01.008 Get rights and content Abstract This paper uses administrative data from two states covering the school years 1987–1988 to 2000–2001 to examine principal turnover and mobility. We use a longitudinal event history modeling approach to examine whether individual characteristics of the principal and the school in which they work are related to different types of principal turnover. We find that over the time period considered, turnover among all school principals was 14 percent in Illinois and 18 percent in North Carolina. Only 20 percent of this turnover was due to principals leaving the system in Illinois; and 13 percent in North Carolina. However, we observe some interesting variation by school characteristics. Specifically, we find that principals in schools with a larger proportion of minority students are more likely to change schools and to leave the principalship, but remain in the system. Previous article Next article JEL Classification I29 J63Keywords Educational economics Human capital1. Introduction Policymakers at the state and local level are concerned about turnover among school administrators. A higher level of turnover means that the state or district must find more individuals to assume administrative positions, so it impacts the demand for school administrators in any given year. While an assessment conducted by the American Association for Employment in Education in 2003 found that nationally the supply of and demand for principals seems to be in balance ( Associated Press, 2003a ), there are still news reports from across the country that indicate that some school districts are having difficulty filling current openings in the principalship and are anticipating numerous retirements in the near future ( Associated Press, 2002, 2003b; Bower, 2003 )."

Newcomers to the education discussion might find this puzzling: Hasn't concern with the academic achievement of every student always topped principals' agendas? The short answer is, no. Historically, public school principals were seen as school managers, 5 and as recently as two decades ago, high standards were thought to be the province of the college bound. \"\" Success\"\" could be defined as entry-level manufacturing work for students who had followed a \"\"general track,\"\" and low-skilled employment for dropouts. Only in the last few decades has the emphasis shifted to academic expectations for all. \"\" Having high expectations for all is one key to closing the achievement gap between advantaged and less advantaged students. \"\" This change comes in part as a response to twin realizations: Career success in a global economy depends on a strong education; for all segments of U. S. society to be able to compete fairly, the yawning gap in academic achievement between disadvantaged and advantaged students needs to narrow. In a school, that begins with a principal's spelling out \"\" high standards and rigorous learning goals,\"\" Vanderbilt University researchers assert with underlined emphasis. Specifically, they say, \"\"The research literature over the last quarter century has consistently supported the notion that having high expectations for all, including clear and public standards, is one key to closing the achievement gap between advantaged and less advantaged students and for raising the overall achievement of all students.\"\""

"text": "\"Home | Issues ...about Change Archive | Site-Based Decision Making: Its Potential for Enhancing Learner Outcomes Site-Based Decision Making: Its Potential for Enhancing Learner Outcomes Schools are doing a very good job of doing what they were designed to do - decades ago. In the early twentieth century, when the country was moving beyond an agricultural economy into the industrial era, the goal of public education was to provide school attendees with a basic education; the curriculum was dominated by reading, writing, arithmetic (Joyce, Hersh, & Mc Kibbin, 1983). In the current post-industrial period, however, our society has charged schools with delivering a high quality, multi-disciplinary education to all students, seeking to guarantee the promise of successful learning and adulthood employment for each of our children. To complicate this mandate, never before have students come to the public school from such diverse backgrounds, family patterns, and native languages. Thus, \"\"schools are searching for dramatic new ways to effectively meet the needs of all children,\"\" states a study group representing the American Association of School Administrators, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (Fulbright, 1988, preface). This search stems from the difficulties schools are encountering as they address the needs presented by an increasingly diverse student population. School and district governance are being re-examined, and educational leaders at all levels are focusing significant attention on restructuring schools and, specifically, on site-based decision making. Considering the Possibilities of Site-Based Decision Making Restructuring is defined by Corbett (1990) as making major changes in the school's organizational rules, roles, and relationships in order to obtain different results. Corbett's conceptualization resonates with Cuban's analysis of change. Cuban (1988), in analyzing school change over the past several decades, has categorized change efforts as either first-order change, \"\"trying to make what already exists more efficient and more effective . . ."

"text": "What To Do If My Kombucha Tastes Sour Posted on Apr 23rd, 2016by admin Categories: Kombucha Troubleshooting My SCOBY Tastes Very Sour – Why? Kombucha tea can taste anywhere between quite sweet and very sour or tart. The longer you leave your brew to continue its fermentation process, the more sour and tart it will get, until the taste is almost like vinegar! A very sour taste is not necessarily an indication of anything wrong with your SCOBY or brew. If you have left the fermentation to continue for longer than usual, then it is quite natural for the taste to be on the sour side. Brewing times vary according to the temperature which the ferment is in, and the age and condition of your SCOBY culture. One of the best ways to gauge how far your kombucha tea is along its fermentation process is to taste it with a straw. If it is very sweet, then it can be left longer, if it is starting to take on a bit of a tang, and you are happy with the taste, then you can stop the fermentation. For detailed guidelines on how long to ferment your kombucha, read How To Estimate The Perfect Kombucha Brew Time. The longer you leave your kombucha, the stronger the acidic sour taste will become, and the more potent it will be as well."

"text": "How to Brew Water Kefir (a quick tutorial)This post contains affiliate links and links to sponsors. Water kefir, a fermented beverage teeming with beneficial bacteria, is remarkably simple to prepare and often more palatable than other probiotic tonics like kombucha and beet kvass. Similar in flavor to a dry, slightly fizzy lemonade, water kefir is pleasant and even small children can enjoy it. When my son was littler than he is now, I’d often fill his cup with diluted water kefir as treat, and he loved the fizzy lemonade, and I loved knowing the treat nourished his growing body. What is water kefir? Water kefir, like kombucha, is first cultured by introducing a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts) into sugar water. The beneficial bacteria and yeasts present in the water kefir grains metabolize the sugar, turning it into an array of beneficial acids and infusing it with beneficial microorganisms, additional B vitamins as well as food enzymes. Water kefir grains are small, translucent, gelatinous structures and are comprised of assorted bacteria including lactobacillus hilgardii which gives them their characteristic crystal-like appearance. When properly cared for and regularly cultured, they produce a wonderful probiotic-rich beverage and will continue to grow and reproduce indefinitely. Water Kefir Benefits Water kefir, like most fermented foods, supports gut health and systemic wellness."

Probiotics are everywhere in the body, specially lining the digestive tract, intestine and colon. What happens in the gut largely influences the immune functions. When the gut is healthy we have a larger thriving alive population of beneficial bacteria around the gastrointestinal track that helps form a protective barrier within the intestines and colon. The digestive tract is critical for the optimal function of the body given 80% of the whole immune system resides in the gastrointestinal track as receptive cells. The digestive system also houses the enteric network system (ENS) or intrinsic nervous system playing a major role in the development of nerve function."

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

Many people drink it based on potential boons to health - these can include improvement of digestion, prevention against oxidative stress, activity against acid reflux and inflammation, as well as its richness with probiotics, antioxidants and amino acids - to name a few. It can be tough to eat or drink something for its health benefits when it's a stretch to find it palatable. I'll wince and bear eating a few oysters (many thanks to Brooklyn Oyster Party 's hospitality at Smorgasburg), and though they're starting to taste better, I don't seek them out.

One of the big problems is simply that it's difficult to find truly tasty kombucha in a bottle - it's very hit-or-miss. Potentially off-putting aspects of kombucha are easily countered in a home-brewing situation with a little knowledge and instruction, and the effects of carbonation and temperature can greatly increase palatability. For someone new to kombucha, like one of your friends or relatives you'd like to enjoy your home brew, making the best 'buch possible is important - it's powerful to provide a positive kombucha experience to newcomers, and ideally it will keep them coming back for more, or may even start them brewing their own. Carbonating your kombucha - a 'buch brewer's seal of excellence I've posted a few blogs that focus on the flavor of kombucha, which is an immensely broad category still open to even more experimentation."

"text": "\"Tonica Kombucha is a fizzy, fermented beverage made from tea that is refreshing (especially as the weather heats up) but also great for you. The drink is essentially fermented tea: it's made from sweetened tea, usually black, that is fermented by a bacteria and yeast culture and ends up full of probiotics as a result. Tea has been enjoying a surge of popularity for a few years now, due in part to its health benefits. And probiotics have gone from being a hippie supplement to finding their way into a wide variety of foods. Kombucha seems to indulge in both those trends for energizing tea and natural cultures that have been reported to boost digestion and metabolism at the same time. There are health-based reasons to drink kombucha and it's much lower in sugar and calories than other sweet drinks, but it's also worth trying just for the taste. Emma Christensen first tried the fermented drink about five years ago—she was developing an interest in brewing beer at home, and a friend suggested she give kombucha a try. \"\" It was just kind of love at first sip,\"\" said Christensen, a blogger and the author of True Brews: How to Craft Fermented Cider, Beer, Wine, Sake, Soda, Mead, Kefir, and Kombucha at Home \"\"I loved how bright and tangy and fizzy it was.

I like to take a fresh culture and lay it across my face (no, it will not suck your brains out, though the thought has crossed my mind). Allow the culture to rest on your face for up to 15 minutes, using a towel to catch the drips. You may notice some redness on your skin but it will quickly fade. If you are sensitive, always test first on a small section of skin. Why this works • The culture pulls circulation to the surface of the skin which regenerates the skin cells • The p H of the culture has the effect of a mild and all natural acid peel which sloughs dead skin cells and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth Living Band-Aids The Kombucha culture also has many topical uses. One of the terms for the SCOBY is zooglea, which translates as “living skin” and helps heal the skin from burns, wounds and other skin ailments.

The combination of yeasts and bacteria creates a balance between alcoholic and acidic content so that neither becomes particularly strong. Its taste is somewhat like a hard (alcoholic) cider, though it comes in a number of natural flavorings. Caution: Side effects have been reported including dizziness and lactic acidosis, as well as toxic poisoning from contaminated batches. Kombucha is highly acidic and can adversely affect the teeth if it is sipped throughout the day. It is best to consume kombucha with meals. A baking soda rinse following kombucha consumption can restore an alkaline p H to the mouth as well. Kombucha is high in histamines.

Yogurt is probably the most popular probiotic rich food, although making it at home does require precision and time. To add to the options of making yogurt or kefir, there are other probiotic recipes that are a bit simpler and do not require the use of dairy. This article will focus on two of my favorite probiotic drinks: kvass and Kombucha. Both have origins in Eastern Europe and Asia, are a simple to make, and are a low-calorie way to increase your daily probiotic intake. Even if you don’t have time to prepare some of the more complicated probiotic foods, such as sauerkraut or pickles, or if you don’t want to consume dairy, you might find that preparing these two probiotic drinks is extremely easy and offers a great alternative to the more complicated recipes or expensive supplements. Kvass Kvass is a fermented drink traditionally made out of beets and originating in Russia. You can make kvass out of fruits or a mix of fruits and veggies. Some combinations that work the best include: apple, pear and orange; beet and apple; beet and orange; carrot, pear and ginger; carrot and apple; and apple and fresh cranberries.

There was the oat bran buzz that was replaced by the wheat germ movement, the family fondue set and the homemade yogurt maker. And for a while I remember my father making what I called “aquarium water” – a foul-looking jug sitting on the kitchen counter with a gelatinous white mass floating on top. Despite the assurances it was good for me, I declined the taste tests. They didn’t push it and I never volunteered to drink this “cure all”. I thought kombucha had gone the way of gelatin-based salads and entrees, until a friend told me she was drinking it. Not only is it still a home-brew darling, kombucha isn’t just for hippies: There’s probably some for sale at your local organic grocery. Yet after a bit of digging, kombucha culture still seems mired in the 1970s. It’s still touted as a panacea, and it’s still one of the more questionable folk remedies out there.

This is the meaning of the word \"\"Dan.\"\" ( Strong's #1777 \"\"judge\"\"). In Jacob's prophecy for the \"\"latter days\"\" (Gen 49:1), Dan was prophesied to \"\"judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel\"\" (v.16). Here is an interesting characteristic of Dan."

"text": "Constellation Names Constellation names, like the names of stars, come from a variety of sources and each has a different story and meaning to it. Old constellations’ names usually come from Greek mythology, while the constellations created more recently were mostly named after scientific instruments and exotic animals. However, there are no strict rules because the stories of the constellations differ from one constellation to the next. Constellation names that come from Greek mythology or refer to figures from Greek and Roman myths, as zodiac constellations do, are probably the ones that are best known. They were created and documented by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century A. D. Constellation names associated with figures from mythology were given to a number of prominent constellations. These include most of the members of the Perseus family (Perseus, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Cetus, Cepheus, Pegasus, and Auriga), the Hercules family (Hercules, Sagitta, Aquila, Lyra, Cygnus, Hydra, Crater, Corvus, Ophiuchus, Serpens, Centaurus, Lupus, Corona Australis, and Ara), the Orion family (Orion, Canis Major, Canis Minor, Lepus, Monoceros), the Zodiac family (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius, Pisces), and the Ursa Major family (Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Draco, Canes Venatici, Boötes, and Corona Borealis). Constellations named after scientific instruments were mostly created by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in the 18th century. They include Norma, Circinus, Telescopium, Microscopium, Octans, and Reticulum. The constellations that carry names of exotic animals were for the most part introduced by the Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman in the 16th century, and mainly include members of the Johann Bayer family: Dorado, Grus, Tucana, Chamaeleon and Volans among others. Below is the list of constellations with their names, genitive forms, English names, name meanings, mythical associations, and stories about how they were named."

Conclusion Notes Soon we can celebrate seventy jubilees since Joshua crossed the River Jordan. Joshua led the children of Israel into the promised land of Canaan after the Lord divided the waters of the Jordan River for them to cross on dry ground. This miraculous event was similar to the parting of the Red Sea by Moses, and surely was a convincing sign to all that he was now God's new chosen leader. The date of that event is precisely given in scripture using their calendar at that time: it was the 10th day of the first month (later called Nisan), forty years after the Exodus from Egypt (Joshua 4:19; 5:6)."

"text": "Naga, (Sanskrit: “serpent”) in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, a member of a class of mythical semidivine beings, half human and half cobra. They are a strong, handsome species who can assume either wholly human or wholly serpentine form and are potentially dangerous but often beneficial to humans. They live in an underground kingdom called Naga-loka, or Patala-loka, which is filled with resplendent palaces, beautifully ornamented with precious gems. The creator deity Brahma relegated the naga s to the nether regions when they became too populous on earth and commanded them to bite only the truly evil or those destined to die prematurely. They are also associated with waters—rivers, lakes, seas, and wells—and are guardians of treasure.naga Naga and nagi, stone statue from Bihar Sharif, Bihar, India, 9th century; in the Indian Museum, Kolkata. Pramod Chandra Three notable naga s are Shesha (or Ananta), who in the Hindu myth of creation supports Narayana ( Vishnu) as he lies on the cosmic ocean and on whom the created world rests; Vasuki, who was used as a churning rope to churn the cosmic ocean of milk; and Takshaka, the tribal chief of the snakes. In modern Hinduism the birth of the serpents is celebrated on Naga-panchami in the month of Shravana (July–August). The female naga s ( nagini s or nagi s) are serpent princesses of striking beauty. The dynasties of Manipur in northeastern India, the Pallavas in southern India, and the ruling family of Funan (ancient Indochina) each claimed an origin in the union of a human being and a nagi. In Buddhism, naga s are often represented as door guardians or, as in Tibet, as minor deities."

But dragons are ancient creatures found in nearly every culture in some form or another, and they mean a variety of things to different communities. So what might your dreams of dragons mean? Some dragons guard the gate to the underworld where hidden treasures await you. Other dragons guard the gate to the heavens, the place that holds insight and inspiration. And still others are the monsters you fight in order to prove your power (mostly to yourself) so you can evolve as beings. Indeed, dragons are multi-faceted creatures who often symbolize benevelonce in the East and malevolence in the West, and when you dream of dragons it’s probably a good idea to know which one you are confronting. Why we dream of dragons Western dragons are large and scaly, scary and fierce. They perfectly capture the essence of what it’s like to be tormented by our fears."

The name derives from the ancient Greek word gorgós, which means \"\"dreadful\"\", and appears to come from the same root as the Sanskrit word \"\"garğ\"\" ( Sanskrit: गर्जन, garjana) which is defined as a guttural sound, similar to the growling of a beast, [1] thus possibly originating as an onomatopoeia. While descriptions of Gorgons vary across Greek literature and occur in the earliest examples of Greek literature, the term commonly refers to any of three sisters who had hair made of living, venomous snakes, as well as a horrifying visage that turned those who beheld her to stone. Traditionally, while two of the Gorgons were immortal, Stheno and Euryale, their sister Medusa was not as she was slain by the demigod and hero Perseus.

Because of their legendary and powerful gaze that could turn one to stone, images of the Gorgons were put upon objects and buildings for protection. An image of a Gorgon holds the primary location at the pediment of the temple at Corfu, which is the oldest stone pediment in Greece, and is dated to c. 600 BC.

For the purposes of clarity, Washington, DC is the Capital of the United States and the Mall area is identified as the geographical area located within Washington that includes the Capitol Building, White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and various other buildings and monuments. The Mall area is located within the imagery of a Fish that is cradled between the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers located within the boundaries of Washington, DC. The symbolism of the \"\"fish\"\" that identifies the Mall area lying geographically within the enclosures of the city spiritually connects Washington, DC to many different nations and their different deities. We will begin with the connection to ancient Nineveh. In Biblical times Nineveh, like Washington DC, was also represented by the picture of a fish inside the enclosure of a city. According to The Popular and Critical Bible Encyclopedia, \"\"The name of Nineveh is written Ninua and Nina in the cuneiform inscriptions. A popular etymology connected it with the Assyrian nunu, 'fish,' at a very early date, since the name is ideographically represented by the picture of a fish inside the enclosure of a city\"\". [ 1]Pictured below is a map of the Mall – Central Area of the District of Columbia. [ 2] As can be seen from this map, the Mall area of D. C., like ancient Nineveh, is represented by the picture or image of a fish inside the enclosure of a city."

"text": "\"The \"\"Meaning\"\" of Coats of Arms Generally speaking it is almost always impossible to accurately decipher the meaning of the symbolism on any personal coat of arms. Many of the arms in use today, or on which today's coats of arms are based, were granted hundreds of years ago and if there was ever a specific meaning to the symbols, then this is probably lost in history. Even in situations where there are records of the granting of arms, rarely, if ever, is the symbolic significance recorded. There are of course exceptions. For example, in civic heraldry, coats of arms of towns, regions and countries often have clear symbolism. For example, the coat of arms of Cork shows a tall ship entering the harbour, clearly symbolising Cork history as an important sea-port. Rarely though are personal arms so easily deciphered, but sometimes it can be done. Occupational names can often be reflected in their arms. Examples include the Catherine wheel on the Wheeler arms (the Catherine wheel is an instrument of torture, so I hesitate to guess what the Wheeler's original occupation was); the garbs (or sheaf) found on some Weaver arms; the wheel on the Cartwright arms and so on. Other easily deciphered symbols are those of canting arms in which the arms represent a pun on the bearer's name."

I am certain that there is no other creature that has been so worshiped and reviled by humanity. Many people in modern times consciously or unconsciously associate it with evil. On the other hand, many cultures worship it and regard it as sacred. Snakes occupy a very high status in Hindu traditions. At all events most people seem to have strong views regarding snakes.

The three alterations most likely to be done are hemming, bodice alterations and shortening of sleeves. A bodice alteration can cost $30 for a simple dress to $100 or more for a dress with boning or beading that needs to be removed, then reinserted or reapplied. A hem might run $80 for a simple dress to $200 or more for a multi-layered dress. Sleeve alterations usually run between $40 and $80, depending on how much decoration or beading is on the sleeves. Leanna Studios [ 1] offers a primer on alterations costs. Bridal salons, especially in large cities, tend to charge more than independent seamstresses. Related articles: Wedding Dress, Bridal Veil, Wedding Day Make-up, Wedding Gown Preservation, Wedding Dress Rental, Groom's Suit or Tuxedo What should be included: The seamstress will try the dress on the bride to see which alterations are needed.

In 1932, 19-year-old Rosa married Raymond Parks, a member of the NAACP who was involved in the Scottsboro boys case. She joined the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1943 and became a secretary. Her work with the organization included a leadership role in the NAACP Youth Council, and she helped organize a protest where black youths checked out books from white libraries. Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott Sources in this Story T he Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development: Rosa Louise Parks Biography Stanford University: King Institute: Rosa Parks National Archives: Teaching With Documents: An Act of Courage, The Arrest Records of Rosa Parks Academy of Achievement: Rosa Parks The Henry Ford: Rosa Parks Bus America.gov: U. S. Congress Honors Civil Rights Warrior Rosa Parks The New York Times: Rosa Parks, 92, Founding Symbol of Civil Rights Movement, Dies The Washington Post: Washington Prepares To Pay Rosa Parks Rare Tribute at Capitol On Dec. 1, 1955, Parks was returning home from her job as a seamstress at a Montgomery department store. She boarded a city bus and took a seat in the first row behind the section reserved for white passengers under the city’s Jim Crow laws. When those 10 seats became filled, the bus driver ordered Parks and the three other black passengers seated in her row to stand up and make room for other whites. The three other passengers moved, but Parks remained sitting. She was arrested and charged with “refusing to obey orders of bus driver.” Parks later recalled that, while she did not plan her protest, she had long been thinking about standing up to Montgomery’s racist laws. “ I felt that it was not right to be deprived of freedom when we were living in the Home of the Brave and Land of the Free,” she explained to the Academy of Achievement in 1995. “"

"text": "\"Montgomery Bus Boycott Citation: C N Trueman \"\"Montgomery Bus Boycott\"\" historylearningsite.co.uk. The History Learning Site, 27 Mar 2015. 10 Apr 2018. The Montgomery Bus Boycott started in December 1955. What happened in Montgomery is seen as a pivotal point in the whole civil rights story and brought to prominence a seamstress called Rosa Parks. The structure of southern society pre-1955 ensured that black Americans were very much second class citizens. Southern states had white only restaurants, white only rest zones in bus centres etc. In Montgomery, Alabama, buses were segregated (as was common elsewhere in the South) with specific areas on a bus reserved for white customers and other seats for black customers. The story behind the bus boycott seems simple – yet, as always, there is more to the story than first appears. After a full day’s work, Rosa Parks got a bus home."

"text": "How Much To Tip Wedding Vendors As it is with any job in a service related industry, the practice of tipping is common with wedding vendors. Tips and gratuities are generally built into service estimates or itemized in the vendor contract, but if in doubt, it's best to ask early in the relationship whether gratuity is included. Your budget depends on it! We've outlined the most common types of vendors to assist you in finding out which vendors generally receive tips and how much you should pay them. Hairstylist, Makeup Artist, Nail Technician Tip your beauty service providers as you would normally tip on a visit to the salon: 15-20% percent of your total bill. Dress Fitter, Alterations or Seamstress It is not customary to tip for fitting services, but if you're thrilled with your final fitting and are feeling generous, $15 to $30 is an appropriate amount to give your seamstress when you pick up your dress. Deliveries Your florist or baker usually hires the staff responsible for delivering your flowers or wedding cake. This cost is typically included in the service contract. Tips are not required, but if you feel the delivery person put in an excess effort to make you happy, a tip of $15-$20 is reasonable. Wedding Officiant Wedding officiants work a little differently than your other vendors."

Off-the-rack suits are typically machine made in large batches, and tend to be cut loose to fit on as many men in the given size range as possible. Thus they fit a hundred different shapes, but fit all of them poorly. Unless you happen to have the one body type that the pattern was designed for, a mass-produced suit is going to need adjusting in multiple places before it fits your body somewhat attractively. Designer suits do a better job with this by making their off-the-rack clothing from a less forgiving pattern. As any large man who has tried to wear Italian suits can tell you, you either fit into them or you don’t."

"text": "What You Need To Know About Wedding Dress Fittingsby Bride Box Wedding Albums · May 6, 2015Selecting your dream wedding dress is extremely exciting, but the fun doesn’t stop there! Even though you’ve got the style and size picked out, you still have to schedule at least one dress fitting. This is to ensure that any alterations you have to make are taken care of and your dress is fitted to your body exactly. Ideally you will have chosen your wedding dress about 6 to 8 months before your wedding date, leaving you plenty of time to schedule multiple fittings with your salon or tailor. Here’s what you need to know about wedding dress fittings. When should I have my dress fittings? Before you can schedule any fittings, you need to wait for your gown to arrive. Typically it’s a good idea to schedule your first fitting about 6 to 8 weeks before the big day so that you have enough time to take care of alterations and multiple sessions. Before you leave the first session, schedule a second fitting about one month before your wedding date to try out all the alterations and fixes. If you’d like to have a third, and usually final, fitting, salons generally recommend that it is scheduled for 1 to 2 weeks before your wedding date."

Mary Todd Lincoln in mourning dress following the death of her son Willie in February, 1862. On Wednesday April 12, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln wrote a playful yet tender note to his wife notifying her that he would join her daily carriage ride on Friday the 14th. It was a pleasant spring day and the Lincolns, who rode alone at the president’s request, discussed their plans for life after his presidency. They would travel across America to visit California, then to Europe, and Lincoln wanted to visit Jerusalem. They considered whether or not they would return to their house in Springfield, Illinois or live in Chicago upon Lincoln’s retirement from the White House. “ During the drive he was so gay,” Mary said, “that I said to him, laughingly, ‘Dear Husband, you almost startle me by your great cheerfulness,’ he replied, ‘and well I may feel so, Mary, I consider this day, the war, has come to a close.” The Lincolns continued the blissful closeness of their afternoon carriage ride at Ford’s Theatre that night, watching a performance of Our American Cousin in the company of Clara Harris and Major Henry R. Rathbone. Mary was supremely happy, and smiled and leaned onto her husband several times. “ What will Miss Harris think of my hanging on to you so?”"

"text": "\"Tipping Wedding Vendors: Everything You Need to Know Now MOREThough you may think you've accounted for every imaginable wedding expense, there is one fee that might elude you: the tip. Tipping vendors (from photographers and florists to caterers and DJs) is expected, and it will serve as a thank-you for a job well done. But figuring out whom to tip, how much to tip, and when to offer it can be tricky. Here, we provide an expert guide on how to tip your wedding vendors. While some vendors include gratuities in their fees, many will leave the amount up to you—and the level of service they provide can influence what you give them. Vendor tipping can add up quickly, costing you a few thousand dollars. Gratuities for caterers alone can be $200 to $600 or more, for example, depending on the number of guests, your catering costs, and where you live. Most tips should be handed out the day of the wedding, so it's wise to assign the job to a friend or family member. A follow-up thank-you note is often a valued tip in itself, as your word can be a recommendation for the vendor. Officiants While it isn't necessary to tip priests, ministers, rabbis, or other religious officiants (many of them, in fact, won't accept cash tips), if you want to thank them for their services, consider making a donation to their organization or house of worship."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Diagram of a modern sewing machine A sewing machine is a machine used to stitch fabric and other materials together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Since the invention of the first working sewing machine, generally considered to have been the work of Englishman Thomas Saint in 1790, [1] the sewing machine has greatly improved the efficiency and productivity of the clothing industry. Home sewing machines are designed for one person to sew individual items while using a single stitch type. In a modern sewing machine the fabric easily glides in and out of the machine without the inconvenience of needles and thimbles and other such tools used in hand sewing, automating the process of stitching and saving time. Industrial sewing machines, by contrast to domestic machines, are larger, faster, and more varied in their size, cost, appearance, and task.

I am due to get married in October 2010 and have just recently started on weight loss programme with my GP (taking Orlistat), everyone keeps telling me I should be shopping for my dress already as it takes months to get it made and fitted etc. .... but I am hoping to be 4 dress sizes smaller .... but won't know... show more Update: Ummm ...

Don't bother answering if you are just going to treat me like I am stupid mate.... thanks!Follow 19 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: You should never order anything that doesn't fit you at the time you order it. Almost every bride wants to loose weight before their wedding, and many manage to do it, but many do not. Ordering a dress that fits you now is the only logical thing to do. If it is too big for you at your last fitting it can be taken in. But if you order a dress to small, hoping it will fit, if it is too small for you at your final fitting, you won't have a wedding dress to wear. It is very easy to take a wedding gown down a size, but near impossible to make it a size bigger. Also, loosing 4 dress sizes in less than a year is quite a feat, so you also have to consider how realistic your weight loss goal is before you order your wedding dress accordingly."

The title of the event is: Temple by the River – Reflections. The event will have a narrative of the history of the Snake River Valley and include a youth choir, dances and performances. “We have a choir of 500 voices that will be in place the entire program,” said Ronda Groberg, one of the committee chairs over the cultural celebration. “ They will be singing three numbers of just them, and the entire ensemble will be singing and dancing throughout the event. We decided on the music for the program, and we decided for one of the songs that the choir sings are to be an old anthem that was sung at both the cornerstone ceremony and original dedication of the Idaho Falls Temple in 1945. The song is ‘Let the Mountains Shout for Joy’. ”Gaylene Meservey, the executive director of the cultural celebration, said they want the youth in the event to know and understand the importance of the temple. “We want them to know why it is here and what it is about,” Meservey said. “ We want this cultural celebration to remind them why we have the temple, and we want them to have desire to want to be at the temple."

Incentive pay, based on the quantity of work delivered rather than on the time spent on the job, is particularly beneficial for increasing worker productivity. At the same time, according to the University of California, salary is not the only factor that impacts workers’ productivity. Base Salary usually connotes a set wage based on a set of expected duties to be performed. Hourly wages may fall under the category of salary and usually are based strictly on time spent on the job. A base salary or hourly guarantee provides employees with security, knowing they will receive at least a minimum pay for their time. Conversely, the safety net of a fixed salary can lead to complacency, with employees knowing they’ll get paid no matter how much they produce. Raises based purely on time spent with the company can be a disincentive for employees to improve, while salary raises based on performance encourage higher productivity. Piecework Incentives can work in a number of ways. You can completely eliminate hourly wages and pay your workers simply by piecework."

The normal body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius ( 37 C) or 98.6 degrees Farenheit ( 98.6 F ). Once the temperature reaches 38 C or 101 F, we call that fever (or we say the child is febrile or is running a temperature). It is such a worry when your baby feels hot and has a high temperature. You feel you must bring the temperature down. You are concerned that your baby may be very sick. Don't worry too much. Being febrile is a normal body response and all babies will have a high temperature (have a fever) at some stage.

NINDS Todd's Paralysis Information Page NINDS is part of the National Institutes of Health What is Todd's Paralysis? Todd's paralysis is a neurological condition characterized by a brief period of transient (temporary) paralysis following a seizure. The paralysis - which may be partial or complete - generally occurs on one side of the body and usually subsides completely within 48 hours. Todd's paralysis may also affect speech or vision. The cause is not known. Examination of an individual who is experiencing or who has just experienced Todd's paralysis may help physicians identify the origin of the seizure. It is important to distinguish the condition from a stroke, which requires different treatment. Is there any treatment?"

Topic: Living With Epilepsy - Adults Hi all I am new to this forum, and just stumbled across it while trying to search for an explanation of something that happened to me. So my story is... I was on holiays, so was fairly tired after a flight from Australia to New York. I fell asleep around 1:00am and my boyfriend woke up to me at 2:00am having a seizure. Apparently i looked like i was being possessed (charming, i know!). Basically it wasnt jerky movements, but i just lost control of every body movement - i wet the bed, my face muscles had gone all droopy, I couldnt talk except to slur a little bit, and I couldnt sit up. I woke up to the ambulance guys, then within 5 minutes I realised where I was and was starting to be able to speak again and by the time i was in the emergency room, within maybe 20 mins, I was fully functional again. My MRI and CT scans came back totally clear and the neurologist said that it must have been a random seizure (ie he could see no reason for it except possibly exhaustion). My family has a long history of strokes but the doctors said this wasnt a stroke. Does anyone know if this sounds like a type of epilepsy??"

This close and trustful relationship inspired me to teach my patients everything I knew about their symptoms and medical diagnosis. To my surprise, I realized people without any medical background can understand very complex medical concepts if you tell it to them in a language they understand. When the complex medical issue at hand relates to the the real person in the patient’s room, it becomes personal. People’s ability to understand things improve significantly when it relates to someone they know. When patients understand the details of the medical diagnosis, they become better equipped to work together with the doctor. I was amazed to discover how diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes improve when doctor and patients work together. This is the main goal of my book project: to teach patients the details of how medical diagnosis is made by telling them the real stories of patients they can relate to. Medical diagnosis: Diagnosis follows correct analysis of symptoms As a hospitalist working in the ICU, I have had several real life experiences to convince me that accurate and timely medical diagnosis literally makes the difference between life and death."

Okay, I’m sure that I am going to get grief back from this post but, o well. My neuro at University confirmed that I had simple partial seizures. Although my EEG came up normal, they did find a rather large Calcium deposit on the back of the brain. She wanted me to schedule another appointment in come back in. Well, that was a while ago and since then, I was forced to cancel my health insurance because I was single at that time with a toddler. Also, my neuro was going to revoke my license and I did not qualify for SS because I didn’t have enough seizures supposedly. I can and will live as I have been doing for the past 12 years as I have remained conscious and feel as though I am not a threat as I can control myself.

"text": "Is Taurine in Energy Drinks Dangerous?by Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFMLast Updated on October 9, 2015The multi-billion dollar phenomenon of energy drinks has captured the attention of scientists and nutritionists across the country. One of the main reasons is taurine, a common ingredient found in the caffeine and sugar-laden concoctions. What is Taurine? Taurine is a free form amino acid contained in foods and manufactured in the body from the amino acid cysteine. It was first discovered in the bile of bulls, and now produced synthetically by the truckload. Since taurine is created naturally in the human body, a good diet supplies all you need. Because taurine is utilized by the body during exercise and in times of stress, it’s become a popular ingredient in energy drinks. Taurine shows an anxiolytic effect on the central nervous system, causing a possible reduction of anxiety symptoms associated with caffeine intake. While this may sound beneficial, perhaps its not the best thing to intake when seeking energy for your daily tasks. Taurine Side Effects Taurine, mostly in its natural form, actually shows positive effects on the cardiovascular system, nervous system, and immune system."

He’s been gracious enough to allow us to adapt the original post from his What it Looks Like series over here. We suggest that you go check out the work he does on his site; it’s the epitome of the quality content even a solo blogger can put together in the world of EMS 2.0 and FOAM. ( Update 3/30/2017: Brandon now writes at critcon.org; it’s amazing, of course). We all know the fundamentals of Basic Life Support (BLS), a lot of us have taken Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), and some among us have even accrued a enviable collection of other advanced resuscitation course merit badges. In spite of that, healthcare workers of all fields, training, and experience can stumble when it comes to that most fundamental of steps in the CPR algorithm: recognizing cardiac arrest. We have assembled some of the best videos available on You Tube that display the physical signs you will encounter when a patient experienced sudden cardiac arrest right in front of you. Thankfully most, but not all, of the patients depicted recovered, and we owe a huge debt to the patients and their families who allowed the footage to be released. This post isn’t meant to be a critique of the way the codes were managed or how well compressions were performed; we just want to examine what it looks like when a person experiences cardiac arrest so that you can recognize it immediately. [ To save you time all of the videos link to a point just prior to the patient arresting, but we still suggest watching the surrounding footage. ]"

"text": "Why a Semicolon Tattoo Is the Most Beautiful Tattoo Guest· Grammar, Writing · Updated on 22 August 2015Share on Linked In Share by email Grammar pedants have long known that punctuation is everything. And even casual language buffs can tell you that commas save lives (surely you’ve seen the ‘Let’s eat Grandma’ vs. ‘Let’s eat, Grandma’ meme ). But to thousands who may have never thought twice about a dangling modifier or a misplaced appositive, the semicolon has become their reason for enduring. Thanks to Amy Bleuel, the often misunderstood symbol has morphed from a simple punctuation mark to a badge of pride for those who struggle with depression, suicide, addiction, anxiety, and self-injury. Bleuel started the nonprofit movement Project Semicolon in April 2013 to honor her father, who took his own life, and to give voice to her own fight with mental illness. The idea was to encourage anyone haunted by these demons to draw a semicolon on their body, photograph it, and share it on a given day to encourage love and to inspire. “A semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you, and the sentence is your life,” explains Project Semicolon’s website. Since its inception, Project Semicolon has transformed from a once-off social media initiative into a full-fledged movement and awareness campaign for mental health and suicide prevention. And just as a once-fleeting call-to-action has given way to this more permanent form of activism, people have exchanged the Sharpies that Bleuel initially suggested for permanent ink."

A semicolon is a punctuation mark that looks like a period over a comma. While there are few uses for semicolons, they are really effective tools to incorporate into writing. However, writers sometimes forget to pull them out and use them. How to Use Semicolons There are a few simple rules that tell us when to use semicolons. Here is rule number one:1.

"text": "\"Humanities ›Languages How to Use the Semicolon Share Flipboard Email Printby Richard Nordquist Updated August 02, 2017Stronger than a comma, less forceful than a period (or full stop): put simply, that's the nature of the semicolon. It's a mark, Lewis Thomas has said, that offers \"\"a pleasant little feeling of expectancy; there is more to come. \"\" But be advised: not all writers and editors are fans of the semicolon, and its use has been on the decline for well over a century. Copy chief Bill Walsh calls the semicolon \"\"an ugly bastard\"\" ( Lapsing Into a Comma, 2000), and Kurt Vonnegut has said that the only reason to use it is \"\"to show you've been to college. \"\" Such expressions of contempt are nothing new. Consider what grammarian Justin Brenan had to say about the semicolon back in 1865: One of the greatest improvements in punctuation is the rejection of the eternal semicolons of our ancestors. . . . In latter times, the semicolon has been gradually disappearing, not only from the newspapers, but from books--insomuch that I believe instances could now be produced, of entire pages without a single semicolon. ( Composition and Punctuation Familiarly Explained, Virtue Brothers, 1865)In our time, entire books—and websites—can be found \"\"without a single semicolon. \"\" So what's responsible for the declining popularity of the mark? In her book Instant-Answer Guide to Business Writing (Writers Club Press, 2003), Deborah Dumaine offers one explanation: As readers require information in segments that are shorter and easier to read, semicolons are becoming a less desirable form of punctuation."

"text": "\"Dale Thomas, Professional programmer for over 20 years Answered Sep 4, 2015Originally Answered: What is the difference between a while loop and a do while loop? The main difference is that since a 'do-while' loop has its test at the end, it is guaranteed to run its block of code at least once. This is useful for initialising something, but with the option to re-initialise it, without duplicating code. I often use do-while for generating a uniform random vector: Vector2D v;do {v = Vector2D ( uniform Random (- 1.0, 1.0 ), uniform Random (- 1.0, 1.0 ));} while ( v. length Squared ()> 1.0 );v. normalise ();This will keep initialising the vector with random values until it lies within the unit circle. After that it snaps ittothe unit circle by normalising it. If I didn't do it this way, the random vectors would not have a uniform distribution, as there would be a bias towards the diagonals.6.9k Views · 17 Upvotes Your response is private.

How to Use a Semicolon Correctly The most common use of the semicolon is to join two independent clauses without using a conjunction like and. Do you use a capital letter after a semicolon?

"text": "Colon or Semicolon?59 Comments If you want to write English more effectively, then you should use the colon and semicolon. They look and sound similar, but they have very different uses. This website explains how to use them both, and how to know which one is suitable for the task in hand. Simply put, the colon is used to provide a pause before introducing related information, while the semicolon is just a break in a sentence that is stronger than a comma but not as final as a full stop. A quick guide to using the colon A colon is made up of two dots, one placed above the other. One common use of the colon is to introduce a list of items. For example: To make the perfect jam sandwich you need three things: some bread, butter and strawberry jam. Three items are listed in the sentence above. The first part of the sentence informs the reader that there will be three things; then the colon tells the reader “here are the three items”. A colon can also be used to introduce a definition, statement or explanation of something."

"text": "BOOKS 03/12/2015 09:18 am ET Updated Mar 12, 2015Semicolons: How To Use Them, And Why You Should By Claire Fallon Comstock Images via Getty Images Does the semicolon really need a defense? The punctuation mark has seemingly won more earnest supporters than snide detractors over the years, even as its use has plummeted. In 2012, Ben Dolnick wrote eloquently of his “love story” with semicolons in The New York Times’ Draft blog. In 2008, the Guardian tallied up the pro and con factions among well-known writers who had gone on the record regarding semicolons: 11 for, 4 against, 3 undecided. Perhaps not the unanimous support a period might garner (surely we can all agree on something as utilitarian as a period), but still a landslide win for the semicolon. The real danger for semicolons comes not from the invective of great authors, despite the oft-quoted Kurt Vonnegut jab at the punctuation mark: “Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.” Plenty of acclaimed writers use and support the semicolon, Vonnegut aside. Although I’ve never been encouraged to use semicolons by instructors, I’ve found myself using them more and more over the years, sometimes guiltily deleting them when I realize I’ve peppered them liberally throughout a single paragraph."

Random 4881With the people going gaga with the technology enabled social platforms, the usage of the emoticons and punctuation have become common to reveal what they want to speak. The invention of newer things has lead to a more amplified connection with each other for closer communication. Every part of the text including the signs, symbols and others reveal their importance. Depending upon the utilization of the symbols, one can build or break the relationships with the near and dear ones. If one can use these peculiar signs along with the combination of good texting, then the conversation would happen smartly with shortcuts. So, what does 3 mean in texting? may stand as a question to some of the people. The texting helps in removing the vocal cues of the people because he/she can type the text and attach symbols to express his thoughts. In most of the chats, these emotions are used umpteen numbers of times by both the end users to communicate."

"text": "Teardrop Tattoo Meaning If you’d like a recommendation for a local tattoo artist to do your tattoo, click here The teardrop tattoo is a symbol that has had negative connotations and is most often associated with gangs and criminal activities. However, in more recent years the symbol has retained its antisocial origins but has become trendy or topical to some who receive the tattoo for reasons other than crime. The symbol is transformed by some to an identification with counterculture and opposing the typical. This tattoo is generally placed on the face underneath one or both eyes especially when it is intended as a symbol of one’s crimes, but it can be placed anywhere and often is designed for small areas of the body like the fingers. Initially, the “stick and poke”-style teardrop was placed underneath the eye, representing shedding a tear. It is meant to indicate that the individual has committed murder as well as served prison time, or can indicate other serious crimes. Multiple teardrops can represent multiple murders, or might represent the number of years that have been served in prison. Because there is not necessarily any remorse over the crimes, the teardrop becomes an ironic symbol as the tear typically reveals sadness. In some cases, the teardrop is a symbol of remorse and is received after a prison sentence has been served. The teardrop in this way is a reminder of past mistakes and motivation to choose a more fulfilling lifestyle."

They come from the Sesamum Indicum plant, which is native to Africa but is now found mostly throughout Asia, with Myanmar and India the largest producers. Sesame plants are the oldest oilseed plants known to man, and the oil is used around the world for both cooking and medicinal purposes. The seeds themselves are used as a spice or a seasoning, perfect for adding a pop to that fast food burger's bun. The sesame plant is an annual that can grow to a little over three feet tall. The flowers are white, pink, or pinkish-purple, and the seeds grow inside elongated pods. When harvest time rolls around, stalks are bundled and the seeds are extracted from inside their pods.

The Muppets are a group of puppet characters created by Jim Henson, many for the purpose of appearing on the children's television program Sesame Street. Henson's involvement in Sesame Street began when he and Joan Ganz Cooney, one of the creators of the show, met in the summer of 1968, at one of the show's five three-day curriculum planning seminars in Boston. Author Christopher Finch reported that director Jon Stone, who had worked with Henson previously, felt that if they could not bring him on board, they should \"\"make do without puppets\"\". [ 1]Henson was initially reluctant but agreed to join Sesame Street in support of its social goals. He also agreed to waive his performance fee for full ownership of the Sesame Street Muppets and to split any revenue they generated with the Children's Television Workshop (renamed to the Sesame Workshop in 2000), the series' non-profit producer. [ 2] The Muppets were a crucial part of the show's popularity and it brought Henson national attention. [ 3] The Muppet segments of the show were popular since its premiere, and more Muppets were added during the first few seasons. The Muppets were effective teaching tools because children easily recognized them, they were predictable, and they appealed to adults and older siblings.

Tahini is easy to make using only two ingredients: sesame seeds and olive oil. I prefer making my own tahini over buying it, mostly because I never finish the huge jars and wind up wasting it. This allows me to make a little or a lot, depending on need. The ratio I use is 1 cup sesame seeds to anywhere from 2 tablespoons of olive oil to 1/2 cup depending on how thick or thin I want it. 1 cup sesame seeds makes about 2/3 of a cup of tahini, depending on how much olive oil is used. Lightly toast the sesame seeds over low heat about ten minutes, stirring often, don’t worry about getting a lot of color on them, like you would if toasting nuts. They’re fragile and burn easily, so watch them carefully. Allow to cool off and then add them to the bowl of a food processor along with a 2 tablespoons of oil to start.

"text": "The health benefits of sesame oil include its ability to improve hair and skin health, help in bone growth, reduce blood pressure, maintain good heart health, manage anxiety and depression, protect infant health, cure dental problems, prevent cancer, improve the digestive process, and lower inflammation. Sesame oil, which [ 1] comes from sesame seeds, is a lesser-known vegetable oil but is, in fact, one of the healthiest alternatives to normal vegetable oils. Sesame seeds, known by the scientific name Sesamum indicum, are small yellowish brown seeds that are primarily found in Africa, but they also grow in smaller numbers on the Indian subcontinent. Sesame oil has gained quite a bit of popularity in recent years because it is relatively inexpensive to extract (simple hot water flotation or a variety of pressing techniques). However, sesame oil is best acquired when the seeds are completely ripe, which means that the outer shells burst. It can be used in cooking, and it is most commonly used in Asian cuisines, including Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian dishes, as well as in Middle Eastern cuisines. Sesame oil has also been used in massages, due to its beneficial effects on the body and skin. It is a highly sought after oil, even as a carrier oil for various cosmetic products. The problem is the manual [ 2] processing that sesame seeds require, because of which there will always be more demand than supply. The impressive [ 3] amount of vitamins, minerals, organic compounds, and other beneficial components in sesame oil is the reason why it is considered so healthy."

No question about it, seaweed is a nutritional powerhouse. This isn’t news in Asia, where sea vegetables are eaten daily, just as they have been for thousands of years. From Japan, Korea and Vietnam to Malaysia, the Philippines and across the South Pacific, sea vegetables are revered as much for their flavors as for their nourishing powers. Western cultures would do well to embrace this remarkably healthy, versatile food from the sea. Seaweed is classified as algae, and there are more than 30 commonly eaten varieties categorized by color: brown, red or green. Each is unique in its shape, taste and texture, but all types contain a rich store of essential minerals that includes calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, vanadium and zinc.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Diagram of a modern sewing machine A sewing machine is a machine used to stitch fabric and other materials together with thread. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Since the invention of the first working sewing machine, generally considered to have been the work of Englishman Thomas Saint in 1790, [1] the sewing machine has greatly improved the efficiency and productivity of the clothing industry. Home sewing machines are designed for one person to sew individual items while using a single stitch type. In a modern sewing machine the fabric easily glides in and out of the machine without the inconvenience of needles and thimbles and other such tools used in hand sewing, automating the process of stitching and saving time. Industrial sewing machines, by contrast to domestic machines, are larger, faster, and more varied in their size, cost, appearance, and task.

You will need to have some basic tools, a few skills and the time and inclination to carry your quilt to completion. Using the methods and hints given in this section, you will be well on your way to making a quilt that will make your family proud. Whether you are a real beginner (never sewn before) or a seasoned quilter (made 20 quilts already), a quilt from this series will call out for you to pick up your fabric and shears and get busy. It won't matter if you create every project by hand or if your sewing machine is your best friend; most quilt patterns can be adapted to either method. Have fun being creative as you begin quiltmaking. Before purchasing tools or fabrics, take an inventory of what you have on hand. Find a portable storage container for necessary items. Ideas include plastic storage containers, zippered bank bags, jewelry bags and more. Survey friends and fellow quilters for recommendations."

Hi, now we are going to talk about how to sew an elastic waistband. I have a little sample here for a very little waist, and once you’ve sewn your piece or two pieces together, what you’re going to do is make a casing, which is folding over the fabric once, pressing – which I already have – and then folding it over one more time, and pressing again. You’re gonna have your piece of elastic, you’re going your measuring – sewing gauge to figure out that my piece of elastic is half an inch, so I want to make my casing just a little bit wider than half an inch."

Why do many embroidery machines come with different size embroidery hoops? If you do hand embroidery work you probably have a stash of all different size embroidery hoops. How do you know which size hoop you should use for your embroidery project? Why Use an Embroidery Hoop? Perhaps understanding why you're using an embroidery hoop will help answer the question. The hoop is going to hold the fabric taut when you are embroidering. It will also be holding the fabric in place. The pressure of a needle going in and out of the fabric can move the fabric if it is not held tightly in the hoop. The closer the hoop is holding the fabric to the the movement of the needle, the more likely the fabric is being held tightly so it doesn't move and change where the design is being sewn or the tension of your stitching on the fabric."

A bobbin winder is the part of a sewing machine that takes the thread from a spool of thread and winds it on the bobbin. The sewing machine bobbin is a mini-spool of thread, made of plastic or metal, that holds the thread that will be on the underneath portion of your fabric when you sew. The top thread comes from the spool of thread and the thread on the bottom side of your fabric comes from the bobbin. Instead of winding the thread on the bobbin by hand, long and tedious, the machine will wind it for you if you load it up correctly. Check your owner's manual for instructions. If you don't have a manual, do a google search for it by entering the name of your machine branch and the model # and it will probably find one.

Typical costs: Basic quilting tools can add up to $500-$1,000, which includes a standard sewing machine. Other tools include one or more rotary cutters, a self-healing cutting mat, a tape measure, good quality scissors, a fabric ripper, a seam ripper, an iron and ironing board and a basic how-to-quilt book. Many people already own some of these items, which will cut the total cost. The cost of fabric, thread and batting to make a quilt for a double or queen-sized bed starts around $85-$145 but commonly runs $200-$350 or more. Crafting a quilt takes a lot of time, and most experienced quilters prefer to work only with high-quality fabrics. Most quilters prefer to pick out their own fabric, but kits that include instructions and all materials needed start around $20-$40 for smaller projects such as a wall-hanging or baby quilt, but can run $60-$100 or more for bed-sized quilts. A standard sewing machine ($200-$2,500 or more) can be used to piece the quilt top, for the \"\"quilting\"\" stitches that join the three layers together and for binding (hemming) to hide the raw edges after it's quilted. Manufacturers have created sets of rails that hold a standard machine; the three layers of the quilt are positioned on the rails and the quilter \"\"drives\"\" the sewing machine across the fabric."

Speaking of the class, the context is I had two students who are primarily retailers (own 3 stores) who want to develop their own in-house sewing unit. One partner does a bit of sewing with home machines but is intimidated by industrials. To reduce the intimidation factor, I trained them on my three servo machines: Durkopp Adler Lockstitch model 271-140342 (basic sewing machine) Juki DLN 9010 SH Needle feed Reliable 3/5 thread overlock model 3316N GG740HThat reminds me, you may ask what is a servo? Servos are relatively new being one of two types of motors used on industrial machines. The other kind you may be more familiar with is a clutch motor. Clutch motors are noisy (I like the sound); servos are completely silent, as quiet or more than a home machine even at top speed. Stuart wrote a review of a servo motor. Industrial machines are set up differently from home machines. With the latter, the motor is built into the machine head itself."

The Singer 2277 has a total of 23 different types of stitches, including 1 buttonhole stitch. Is the Singer 2277 Tradition right for my skill level? We class the Singer 2277 Tradition as “Beginner“, meaning that this machine has features that are suitable for a sewer working at a Beginner skill level. In general, machines that are classed as \"\"Beginner\"\" tend to have all of the features that we think a beginner will need to be able to learn how to sew. Beginner machines may also have some features that need to be manually adjusted, so that new sewers can learn how the machine works and learn how to handle their machine on different fabrics. What size is the Singer 2277 Tradition? We class the Singer 2277 as a Full-Size machine. Standard or full-size machines are the most versatile machine size as they work for a range of sewing applications. Full-size machines are usually wider than compact machines and this gives you slightly more space to manoeuvre the fabric around the needle area."

I have nothing but great things to say about it. This model is perfect if you are getting started with basic stitches and want to have the chance of some decorative stitches. Definitely, these stitches do not look the same type as modern decorative stitches compared to modern computerized machines, but, like I say, if you are not sure if you will ever use all of the features of a high end sewing machine, and you don’t want to limit your sewing, then this model is worth considering. Best features: Great Reliability: This machine was setup to go through almost any kind of fabric and thread without fiddling around with tensions. I am really amazed at how simple and yet very FAST this machine is. Low maintenance: This machine just loves to be cleaned and oiled after each project to continue running smoothly. As long as you continue to oil it and lubricate it, cover it to protect from heat, moisture, and dust, then you have an everlasting machine. Since I purchased this one (almost six years ago), I have not taken her for service, as I prefer to do this myself."

The day one of the main gears broke while I was hemming jeans was a day of rejoicing. <g> I wound up with a much more expensive Viking that's given me hours and miles of flawless operation in the 15 years since. So for me, that cheap machine was basically a waste of money. If at all possible, go take some beginning lessons someplace where they have sewing machines for you to use."

"text": "Jan L. Shifren, MDReproductive Endocrinology Sex therapy is often helpful for erectile dysfunction, even when physical factors are the principal cause. Sexual difficulties, no matter what the cause, can strain your relationship. Frequently a man with erectile problems experiences performance anxiety, which makes him reluctant to initiate sexual contact. His partner may perceive this as rejection, which could trigger feelings of frustration and resentment. Sex therapy can help a couple overcome these feelings and re-establish intimacy. In addition to standard sensate focus techniques, the therapist will teach the couple techniques for overcoming worries about losing an erection during sexual activity. For example, in one approach, a man and his partner progress to the stage of stimulation where intercourse would normally begin, then purposely stop so that the penis becomes less firm. Then they resume stimulation until the man has an erection again. When they do this exercise repeatedly, the couple learns to relax, knowing that the man will be able to regain his erection if he loses it. It's common for sex therapy to be used along with medications for erectile dysfunction."

The term \"\"BDSM\"\" is first recorded in a Usenet posting from 1991, [1] and is interpreted as a combination of the abbreviations B/D (Bondage and Discipline), D/s (Dominance and submission), and S/M (Sadism and Masochism). BDSM is now used as a catch-all phrase covering a wide range of activities, forms of interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures. BDSM communities generally welcome anyone with a non-normative streak who identifies with the community; this may include cross-dressers, body modification enthusiasts, animal roleplayers, rubber fetishists, and others. Activities and relationships within a BDSM context are often characterized by the participants taking on complementary, but unequal roles; thus, the idea of informed consent of both the partners is essential."

Traditionally epistemology has been a branch of philosophy that studies knowledge. Its principle concerns have been such questions as: What is knowl- edge? Is knowledge possible? If so, what are the sources of knowledge? Be- cause knowledge is the goal of all scholarly activity and is critical to the solu- tion of practical problems, there has been an interest in understanding what special properties (e.g., truth, justification, survival of attempted falsification) and procedures (e.g., unbiased empirical observation, Cartesian methodical doubt, revelation, conjecture and refutation) distinguish knowledge from that which is not knowledge (e.g., false claims, unjustified assertions, mispercep- tions, accurate lucky guesses). Epistemology dates at least as far back as Plato in the fourth century B. C. However, in the 20th-century there have been two dramatic changes in the study of knowledge."

"text": "\"Community Supervision of the Sex Offender: An Overview of Current and Promising Practices January 2000Introduction Despite recent legislative changes and sentencing practices that increase the likelihood and length of incarceration for convicted sex offenders, many of these offenders are supervised in the community. A U. S. Department of Justice study (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1997) reports that approximately 265,000 adult sex offenders are under the care, custody, or control of correctional agencies in the United States. Of these, almost 60 percent are under some form of community supervision. Most offenders who are convicted of one or more sex crimes will be supervised in the community at some point—either immediately following sentencing or after a period of incarceration in jail or prison. These offenders present unique challenges to probation and parole departments that are primarily responsible for supervising them. Because of the potentially volatile community responses to sex offenders, and the irrefutable harm that re-offenses would cause potential victims, the community supervision of sex offenders is of critical importance to criminal justice agencies and the public. Overview The primary objective of this brief is to provide an overview and discussion of emerging practices and lessons in communities across the country in the management of sex offenders under community supervision. A core assumption appears to underlie these emerging practices: the primary goal of managing sex offenders in the community is the prevention of future victimization. To that end, a comprehensive approach to sex offender management includes several key elements: Collaboration. Collaboration among those agencies and individuals charged with initiating and implementing effective supervision and treatment practices is essential to managing sex offenders safely in the community."

D., University of West Florida Counseling Center [Scheduled for publication in Psychotherapy]Abstract In this article, a new formulation of the self-concept and of self-concept change is presented. The article comprises the following parts: (a) a status dynamic conceptualization of the self-concept; (b) a delineation of the self-concepts' many implications for the quality of persons' lives; (c) an analysis of why self-concepts tend not to change in the face of disconfirming evidence; (d) some logical and empirical justifications for preferring the present formulation to existing alternatives; and (e) a presentation of some core therapeutic approaches to modifying self-concepts. Self-concepts and Self-concept Change: A Status Dynamic Approach\"\"The term stigma, then, will be used to refer to an attribute that is deeply discrediting, but it should be seen that a language of relationships, not attributes, is really needed .\"\" Erving Goffman (1963, p. 3)This article introduces a new formulation of the self-concept and of self-concept change. Conceiving the self-concept as a single causal/explanatory source lying at the heart of a wide array of many clients' problems in living, the formulation illustrates how changes in it will result in profound and pervasive changes in the quality of these persons' lives. Further, it explains in a parsimonious fashion the self-concept's notorious resistance to change in the face of seemingly disconfirming facts. Finally, the formulation provides the logical basis for new and very powerful forms of intervention to change the self-concept, which forms are described in the final section of the paper. The present formulation, which is part of a larger conceptual system known as Descriptive Psychology (Ossorio, 1978, 1981, 1985), will be discussed in two major sections."

[ 1] [2] [3] Transgender people are sometimes called transsexual if they desire medical assistance to transition from one gender to another. Transgender is also an umbrella term: in addition to including people whose gender identity is the opposite of their assigned sex ( trans men and trans women ), it may include people who are not exclusively masculine or feminine (people who are genderqueer or non-binary, including bigender, pangender, genderfluid, or agender). [ 2] [4] [5] Other definitions of transgender also include people who belong to a third gender, or conceptualize transgender people as a third gender. [ 6] [7] Infrequently, the term transgender is defined very broadly to include cross-dressers, [8] regardless of their gender identity. Being transgender is independent of sexual orientation: [9] transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, or may decline to label their sexual orientation. The term transgender is also distinguished from intersex, a term that describes people born with physical sex characteristics \"\"that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies\"\". [ 10] The counterpart of transgender is cisgender, which describes persons whose gender identity or expression matches their assigned sex. The degree to which individuals feel genuine, authentic, and comfortable within their external appearance and accept their genuine identity has been called transgender congruence. [ 11] Many transgender people experience gender dysphoria, and some seek medical treatments such as hormone replacement therapy, sex reassignment surgery, or psychotherapy. ["

"text": "\"+ Larger Font | + Smaller Font ETHICS FOR TEXAS LICENSED SOCIAL WORKERS: CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY (3 hours)Confidentiality Confidentiality is generally considered a cornerstone of the doctor-client relationship. ( Alban, A., 2007) Many psychotherapists assume that mental health treatment is most likely to be successful when the client has a trusting relationship with the clinician. ( US Department of Health and Human Services, 1999, citing Sharkin, B., 1995) People tend to reveal much of their private selves in the course of receiving counseling. Trust that clinicians and institutions will preserve client privacy is necessary to maintain the value of mental health services. Laws that protect confidentiality attempt to preserve this trust, so that people will be more likely to benefit from mental health services such as counseling. With trust in confidentiality, people are more likely to pursue counseling, are more likely to afford the level of care that they need by utilizing their insurance and other benefits, and are more likely to divulge information that is needed to ensure effective treatment. In addition to the needs of individuals, confidentiality laws serve the interests of family members, employers and society in general, by helping to reduce the impact of mental and emotional disorders and personal problems. These laws protect as private information both the fact that an individual has sought mental health treatment, and the disclosures that are made during treatment. ( Ibid) Confidentiality laws can also serve to protect the client or other family members and even the social worker from the danger that may result when a violent individual learns that someone they have intimidated is seeking support, or when that individual learns of the identity of the social worker. These laws help to protect individuals from problems such as social stigma, and workplace and housing discrimination."

Art therapy originated in the fields of art and psychotherapy and may vary in definition. Art therapy may focus on the creative art-making process itself, as therapy, or on the analysis of expression gained through an exchange of patient and therapist interaction. The psychoanalytic approach was one of the earliest forms of art psychotherapy. This approach employs the transference process between the therapist and the client who makes art. The therapist interprets the client's symbolic self-expression as communicated in the art and elicits interpretations from the client. [ 1]: 1 Analysis of transference is no longer always a component. Current art therapy includes a vast number of other approaches such as person-centered, cognitive, behavior, Gestalt, narrative, Adlerian, and family. The tenets of art therapy involve humanism, creativity, reconciling emotional conflicts, fostering self-awareness, and personal growth.

Now researchers such as John Gottman and Kim Halford have suggested that even the accepted techniques of this field, such as teaching problem-solving and conflict-management skills, while beneficial, do not seem to get to the heart of the matter in terms of offering a pathway to lasting change in relationships and do not reflect how happy couples relate to each other outside of therapy. If all this weren't rough enough, everyone agrees that couples therapy can be very difficult to do. Dealing with two people, two sets of hot emotions, escalating fights, and clients who hurt but don't want to slow down, be more reasonable and negotiate is not for the faint of heart. Dealing with two people, two sets of hot emotions, escalating fights, and clients who hurt but don't want to slow down, be more reasonable and negotiate is not for the faint of heart. Given all this, it seems almost reasonable that couples therapy is often ridiculed or maligned as ineffective in the media. But in spite of this, millions of couples persist in seeking out therapists, perhaps because, as recent surveys tell us, most people in North America rate finding a loving relationship as their main life goal, placing it ahead of career or financial success. It is fortunate, then, that the image of couples therapy painted above is not the whole story."

"text": "Sex Therapy Degree Programs Sex therapy is a subspecialty of psychology that focuses on helping patients who experience some form of sexual dysfunction to overcome the underlying issues and reengage in a healthy and active sex life. Professionals in this field understand the profound mental impact the loss of one’s sexuality can have. While there are many medications available for problems such as erectile dysfunction, patients can still benefit from sex therapists. If you are interested in helping people overcome this aspect of their lives then pursuing a sex therapy degree may be the correct path for you. What Does a Sex Therapist Do? Patient can expect to participate in multiple counseling sessions where sexual problems are confronted as well as issues of anxiety, stress and depression, which are often the catalyst for prolonged sexual dysfunction. As a professional, you’ll be asking lots of tough questions. The profession is almost entirely based on counseling, so you must enjoy talking to people and you must have a flair for handling delicate issues. People must feel like they can reveal the most intimate parts of themselves if your services are to be effective. Featured Counseling Programs Careers in Sex Therapy Generally high population areas are where you would be most likely to find a specific job tailored to sexual therapy issues."

For history and development of the sextant, see Reflecting instrument. For other uses, see Sextant (disambiguation). A sextant A sextant is a doubly reflecting navigation instrument that measures the angular distance between two visible objects. The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an astronomical object and the horizon for the purposes of celestial navigation. The estimation of this angle, the altitude, is known as sighting or shooting the object, or taking a sight. The angle, and the time when it was measured, can be used to calculate a position line on a nautical or aeronautical chart —for example, sighting the Sun at noon or Polaris at night (in the Northern Hemisphere) to estimate latitude. Sighting the height of a landmark can give a measure of distance off and, held horizontally, a sextant can measure angles between objects for a position on a chart. [ 1] A sextant can also be used to measure the lunar distance between the moon and another celestial object (such as a star or planet) in order to determine Greenwich Mean Time and hence longitude."

Witness the drama evoked by the handwritten account found with this 19th century English sextant:\"\"This sextant was salvaged from the pilot house of the Norwegian steamship VICTORY by her master, after being sunk by gunfire from a German submarine 35 miles north of Ushant at 1:00 PM on July 6, 1917."

Navigation is concerned with finding the way to the desired destination, avoiding collisions, conserving fuel, and meeting schedules. Officers on a passenger ship using charts for navigation. © Aytug askin/Shutterstock.com Navigation is derived from the Latin navis (“ ship ”) and agere (“to drive”). Early mariners who embarked on voyages of exploration gradually developed systematic methods of observing and recording their position, the distances and directions they traveled, the currents of wind and water, and the hazards and havens they encountered. The facts accumulated in their journals made it possible for them to find their way home and for them or their successors to repeat and extend their exploits. Each successful landfall became a signpost along a route that could be retraced and integrated into a growing body of reliable information. For these pathfinders, the danger of running into another vessel was negligible, but, as traffic expanded along established routes, collision avoidance became a concern. Emphasis shifted from finding the way to maintaining safe distances between craft moving in various directions at different speeds. Larger ships are easier to see but require more time to change speed or direction."

Meanwhile, g is the vector representing the local gravitational acceleration. We define g as:g := the acceleration of a freely-falling test particle (relative to some chosen reference frame) ( 2 )Note: By arbitrary convention, the term “gravitational field” refers to the gravitational acceleration, even though the gravitational potential is also a field and tidal stress is also a field (in accordance with the definition of “field”). This is consistent with a similar arbitrary convention that applies to the electrical field and magnetic field. Operationally, we can determine g using equation 2, by dropping an object and observing its acceleration. This technique is used in sophisticated, top-of-the-line gravimeters; see reference 2. We can equally well determing g using equation 1, by measuring the weight of a known mass. This technique is used in the accelerometer instruments you find in aircraft. A simple homemade accelerometer is described in reference 3 . Equation 1 says nothing about what may be causing the local gravitational field."

The likely outcome of isolated low-grade PIN (LGPIN) lesions in prostate biopsies remains unclear. A follow-up study of 106 patients with LGPIN- and HGPIN lesions was performed. Materials and methods: In a 2-y period, 207 men were diagnosed with isolated PIN on standard systematic sextant biopsy of the prostate. In total, 104 patients had LGPIN and 103 had HGPIN. No patients had ever received androgen deprivation therapy, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. In all, 106 patients who underwent repeat second or third sextant biopsies were analysed in the study; 30% of these patients received a selenium–vitamin E supplement for at least 6 months. Results: In total, 43 had LGPIN and 63 HGPIN on the first biopsy. The mean age was 63.5 y (range 46–77) in the LGPIN group and 64.9 y in the HGPIN group."

"text": "\"Ted Conbeer, T-10er. Former collegiate sailor. Updated May 8, 2015 · Author has 68 answers and 342.5k answer views Originally Answered: Why are nautical miles measured differently from land miles? Marlene's link gets to the point eventually, but to summarize: The statute mile was declared to be 5280 feet by Queen Elizabeth I in 1593. Back then, while you may be able to measure statue miles across a city, it would be nearly impossible to do so over the oceans or continents. However, it was easy enough to determine your Latitude and (with a clock) Longitude while at sea with high accuracy by using a sextant. A nautical mile is equivalent to one minute (1/60 of one degree) of median arc across the Earth's surface (i.e. 1/21600 of the Earth's circumference). By calculating your Lat/Long, it's easy to know how many nautical miles you are from home, or from any point on a chart. It's unfortunate that nautical and statute miles both use the term \"\"mile,\"\" because their provenance is no more related than the mile and kilometer.

With this sextant, one of the mirrors ( mirror A in the diagram) is half-silvered, which allows some light to pass through. In navigating, you look at the horizon through this mirror. The other mirror (mirror B in the diagram) is attached to a movable arm. Light from an object, let's say the sun, reflects off this mirror. The arm can be moved to a position where the sun's reflection off the mirror also reflects off mirror A and through the eyepiece. What you see when this happens is one object (the sun) superimposed on the other (the horizon). The angle between the two objects is then read off the scale."

They do not call is the Silent Service for nothing. Since World War II, nuclear powered submarines have played a strategic part of the nuclear triad throughout the Cold War as well as tactically into the War on Terrorism with highly advanced weapon systems. Here are the answers to common questions about submarines, with information courtesy of United States Navy Submarine Force: How Does a Submarine Submerge? Submarines float on the surface by using ballast tanks full of air. There are valves at the top of the ballast tanks that are opened when it's time for the submarine to submerge. As the air escapes, seawater comes in a the bottom of the tank. This makes the sub heavier and then it submerges. It takes four people on duty to drive the submarine whether on the surface or submerged. The front junior enlisted members are the helmsman and planesman."

These powerful animals have an extensive habitat, though it is becoming more and more threatened due to hunting and human settlement. Natural Habitat Siberian tigers live predominantly in Russia’s birch forests but are also found in China and North Korea. Their habitat ranges from Siberia to the forests of the Amur Basin. According to National Geographic, there were only 400 to 500 Siberian tigers living in the wild in 2010. Though colder in climate, Russia’s forests offer the Siberian tiger protection since the forests are more remote. There are fewer humans living close by, and their prey is more plentiful.

Tiger is an endangered species and most of all humans are responsible for leaving the nature’s majestic killing machine at the verge of extinction. Some of the most usual causes of the rapid decline are poaching for fur and trading in different parts of tiger for commercial purposes, as well as habitat destruction. In the beginning of the 20 th century, there were 100,000 tigers in the wild but the population diminished outside of captivity to between 1,500 and 3,500. The increasing demand for tiger’s parts for using it in the Traditional Chinese Medicine also presents a real threat to these species. According to few scientists, there are no more than 2,500 species remaining in the wild. The exact figures are still unknown. Why Are Tigers Endangered Poaching | India The largest population of tigers is in India. There are around 3,500 tigers worldwide, out of which 1,400 inhabits in India.

By the 1940s, hunting had driven the Amur tiger to the brink of extinction—with no more than 40 individuals remaining in the wild. The subspecies was saved when Russia became the first country in the world to grant the tiger full protection. By the 1980s, the Amur tiger population had increased to around 500. Although poaching increased after the collapse of the Soviet Union, continued conservation and antipoaching efforts by many partners—including WWF—have helped keep the population stable at around 540 individuals. The Amur tiger’s habitat is now restricted to the Sikhote-Alin range in the Primorski and Khabarovsk provinces of the Russian Far East, small pockets in the border areas of China and possibly in North Korea. The high latitude means long winters and that the sun does not rise far above the horizon. Amur tigers have the largest home range of any tiger subspecies because they have to search over large areas to find food due to low prey densities.

There are also Bengal tigers found in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal, Bhutan, and along the eastern coast of China. The climate here is temperate to tropical and very wet, with the tigers thriving in mangrove forests, grasslands, and deciduous forests.

"text": "\"All White Tigers Are Inbred and Are Not Purebred00:00 00:00The ONLY way to produce a tiger or lion with a white coat is through inbreeding brother to sister or father to daughter; generation after generation after generation. The kind of severe inbreeding that is required to produce the mutation of a white coat also causes a number of other defects in these big cats. In June 2011 the board of directors for the American Zoological Association (AZA) formalized their 2008 ban on the breeding of white tigers, white lions or king cheetahs by their member zoos. Their report said, “Breeding practices that increase the physical expression of single rare alleles (i.e., rare genetic traits) through intentional inbreeding, for example intentional breeding to achieve rare color-morphs such as white tigers, deer, and alligators, has been clearly linked with various abnormal, debilitating, and, at times, lethal, external and internal conditions and characteristics, which are outlined in this paper .” This change in policy came more than 12 years after Big Cat Rescue first released Dr. Laughlin’s expose below. The same gene that causes the white coat causes the optic nerve to be wired to the wrong side of the brain, thus all white tigers are cross eyed, even if their eyes look normal. They also often suffer from club feet, cleft palates, spinal deformities and defective organs. The white coat is a double recessive gene so most of the cubs born through this inbreeding have normal coloring but they too suffer the same defects and are referred to in the trade as “throw away tigers.” As such, they are often killed at birth because only the white tigers are the big money makers. And because none of these cats are purebred (they are all crosses between Bengal tigers and Siberian tigers), they serve no conservation purpose."

By Robert Godard | Updated September 26, 2017The white tiger is a subspecies of any species of tiger, whose fur is white due to a genetic morph. They are currently listed as an endangered species, and white tigers living in the wild is a rare site to see. Today, only 5,000 to 7,000 white tigers live in all of Asia. Geographical Location While white tigers are most often spotted in the Russian Siberian dessert, they have also been found in Bengal in the northeastern portion of India, though this is much rarer. There have also been sightings of white tigers all through China, specifically in the southeastern region of China. Since white tigers are just a genetic morph of a regular tiger, they can potentially be spotted anywhere, though they are usually only found in Russia and Asia. Range A white tiger's territory is usually anywhere between 10 and 30 square miles. In locations where there is less food, such as Siberia, these territories may extend to 120 square miles.

"text": "Subspecies of Endangered Tigers You Didn't Know About, But Should One of the most majestic animals of all time, the tiger is on the brink of extinction. They have been rampantly hunted for various reasons ranging from body organs to their meat, fur, and skin. Though the tiger is one of the most powerful mammals, it also faces the worst chances of being extinct. In fact, as many as three subspecies of tigers have become extinct in the last 30 years and there is danger of even more of the species becoming extinct. Recent estimates put the population of all tigers (including the ones in captivity) at somewhere between 5000-7500, with only about 3200 in the wild. At the beginning of the century, this number was closer to about 100,000. This shows how fast the population of tigers is diminishing, and if care is not taken, this majestic mammal will soon be extinct.

There are very few tigers left in the world today, and if adequate care and measures are not taken, even these will be wiped out from the face of the earth. The South China Tiger, for example, is on the verge of extinction, with barely 50 remaining today."

Damage from undiagnosed syphilis can lead to death. It's sometimes called the \"\"Great Imitator\"\" because its early symptoms can be similar to many other diseases. We're here to help Call (855) 205-1798 and speak to one of our Care Advisors for more information. Get started now Syphilis symptoms for primary stage Most common Single, firm, round, painless sore (called chancre, pronounced SHANG-ker)Can appear within 10 days to 3 months after exposure Less common Swollen lymph glands (neck, armpit, or groin)No obvious symptom (painless sore could be small)Least common Multiple firm, round, painless sores (chancres)Skin rash with rough, red or reddish-brown spots (often on palms of hands and soles of feet)Syphilis Symptoms for Secondary Stage Most common Swollen lymph glands (neck, armpit, or groin)Sore throat Headaches Feeling tired Less common Mucous membrane lesions (patches) in mouth, vagina, anus or penis Moist, wart-like patches on the genitals or skin folds (condylomata lata)Patchy hair loss Swollen eyes, spleen, bones, or joints Least common Fever Lose weight Muscle aches Chills Not feeling hungry Runny nose Syphilis symptoms for latent stage Most common No symptoms at all Less common Repeated symptoms from the secondary stage Least common from complications due to latent stage syphilis Muscle movement problems Paralysis Numbness Losing sight Dementia (loss of memory, concentration & judgment)Pictures of syphilis symptoms NOTE: These photos represent symptoms of advanced disease. Symptoms for the primary stage of syphilis usually appear 10-90 days after infection. Most people with syphilis get their first symptom anywhere from 10 to 90 days after infection. This primary stage of infection is the first of three stages. The most obvious symptom is usually a single, small, firm, round, painless sore called a chancre (pronounced SHANG-ker)."

I've experienced significant periorbital fat loss, particularly in the area at the bridge of my nose, giving me a hollowed out sickly look. There has also been significant skin discoloration in the same area as well as the orbital socket below my eyes, not easily covered by any cosmetics tried. My physician discontinued the drug, largely because of corneal concerns created by its use. My concerns have not only been as indicated above... things that might be considered cosmetic... but the number of times I've experienced an irregular heart rate, dizziness, the ever worsening consistent and painful dry eyes, and dry throat which causes me to occasionaly wake up gasping for breath. I was on this drug for over six months, and not quick to realize all these things happening were decidedly related to Lumigan. ! Related Reading: lumigan | dizziness | dry eyes Comment from: 35-44 on Treatment for 6 months - 1 year (Patient) Published: May 28My eye pressure was lowered within the first couple of weeks. It requires one drop a day in each of my eyes which is not a big deal to keep my sight. Lumigan, however, does cause your eyes to be red due the increase blood flow that it brings to your eyes. This has gotten better but I still have some redness most mornings."

Diagnosing retinoblastoma Treating retinoblastoma Screening for retinoblastoma Getting support Retinoblastoma is a rare type of eye cancer that can affect youngchildren (usually under five years of age). If it's picked up early, retinoblastoma can often be successfully treated (children treated for retinoblastoma diagnosed at an early stage have a survival rate of more than 95%). Retinoblastoma can either affect one or both eyes. If it affects both eyes, it's usually diagnosed before a child is one year old. If it affects one eye, it tends to be diagnosed later (between the ages of two and three). Signs and symptoms of retinoblastoma Signs and symptoms of retinoblastoma include:an unusual white reflection in the pupil – this may be apparent in photos where only the healthy eye appears red from the flash, or you may notice it in a dark or artificially lit rooma squinta change in the colour of the iris – in one eye or sometimes only in one area of the eyea red or inflamed eye – though your child won't usually complain of any painpoor vision – your child may not focus on faces or objects, or they may not be able to control their eye movements (this is more common when both eyes are affected); they may say that they can't see as well as they used to These symptoms may be caused by something other than retinoblastoma. However, you should get them checked by your GP as soon as possible. It's unusual for retinoblastoma to progress unnoticed beyond the age of five. Signs in older children include the eye appearing red, sore or swollen, and some loss of vision in the affected eye."

"text": "\"Many cats have pursued several more years of mobility and good quality of life using a \"\"wheelchair\"\" or mobility cart. Initially developed for dogs, but now available for cats as well, these support the cat's hind quarters and tail so that they don't drag along the ground. The cat can walk, run, lie down and defecate while in the cart. They are also suited to hind-limb amputees. The carts are generally made to measure and if used for a young cat or kitten, will have to be replaced as the cat grows. Whether or not your cat is suited to a mobility cart depends on its personality and ability to adapt to a more dependent lifestyle. Fiercely independent, tree-climbing kitties may not be able to make the adjustment to a more limited lifestyle. Although designed to cope with a variety of terrains, pet mobility carts are rare in the UK due to the prevailing unsupervised indoor-outdoor lifestyle of most British cats. In the USA, where an indoor lifestyle is more normal - meaning more even terrain - and a cat's outside forays are likely to be supervised, they are more common. They have been imported into the UK and some skilled cat owners have made similar carts (as a temporary measure) using the children's construction toy Meccano or plastic plumbing tubes."

It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome. Are not flowers the stars of the earth, and are not our stars the flowers of the heaven.” ~ A. J. Balfour One of my favorite native plants that I stumbled upon when I was first gardening mostly in shade was Goat’s beard or Aruncus dioicus. Aruncus dioicus also known as Bride’s feathers, is part of the Rose family. As part of my linking in with Diana’s Dozen @ Elephant’s Eye, and Gail@Clay and Limestone’s Wildflower Wednesday, I thought I would profile this wonderful plant in my latest Simply the Best post. And with the stunning foliage this plant displays, I am also linking in with Christina@ Creating My Own Garden of the Hesperides and her wonderful Garden Blogger’s Foliage Day on the 22nd. Given the right conditions Goat’s beard can grow 3-6 feet tall and wide in zones 3-7. This deer resistant woodland plant prefers part sun to shade in moist to wet soils, but can be grown in more sun in northern gardens if given ample water. It will not tolerate full sun in southern gardens."

If not bones and bodies, at the very least there should be evidence of a North American Ape in the fossil record. There are no confirmed Bigfoot bones or fossils, of course, and the skeptics have a point. Biology is a science, and science is based on fact.

And this appearance has been achieved by selective breeding for a certain set of characteristics These characteristics often include long ears, a longish face with quite a lot of loose skin on it, and frequently with the addition of drooping lower eyelids. The droopy eyes and loose skin on the face tend to go together as we shall see, and together they create the droopy face dog that so many of us love The sad or woeful expression that often accompanies the droopy eye dog triggers an emotional response in human beings. We want to love and protect the sad dog, and a lot of people find them very endearing. So it isn’t surprising to find that they are a very popular choice of pet The droopy eye dog and ectropion Because drooping eyelids are appealing to puppy buyers, breeders are tempted to select dogs who display this characteristic in ever more extreme forms. And as a result, some dogs are becoming more droopy eyed than before, and droopy eye dogs are appearing in breeds where they didn’t exist before. This is a problem for dogs, because eyelids play an important part in the health of your dog’s eyes. And nature designed them exactly as you see them in wild dogs and wolves for a very good reason. This neopolitan mastiff has severely exposed eye tissue Tight eyes, or eyelids that fit snuggly against the dog’s face are extremely important in protecting the eyes from dirt and debris, and in keeping the soft tissue below the eye free from infection.

"text": "Guns, herbs, and sores: inside the dragon’s etymological lair23 April marks St. George’s Day. While St. George is widely venerated throughout Christian communities, England especially honors him, its patron saint, on this day. Indeed, his cross, red on a white field, flies as England’s flag. St. George, of course, is legendary for the dragon he slew, yet St. George bested the beast in legend alone. From Beowulf to The Game of Thrones, this creature continues to breathe life (and fire) into our stories, art, and language – even the very word dragon is hoarding its own gold. Let’s brave our way into its etymological lair to see what treasures we might find. Dragon A dragon may evoke fiery breath and taloned wings, but the origin of the word dragon conjures up a different feature: eyes. Dragon ultimately comes from the ancient Greek δράκων ( drakon ), naming a ‘dragon’ and, more generally, a ‘ serpent ’. This word, in turn, derives from a verb, δέρκεσθαι, ‘to see clearly’. As etymologist Walter Skeat glosses it, δράκων literally means ‘sharp-sighted’."

"text": "Cataract Surgery: What You Can Expect BEFORE CATARACT SURGERY - ANESTHESIAThere is no arguing that your eye should be comfortable and numbed with sufficient amounts of anesthetic before any eye surgery is performed. These days, the majority of cataract surgery (or cataract extraction) is performed as a day case under local anesthesia. Local anesthesia can be given as eye drops or injections around the eyeball. Topical anesthesia with eye drops (such as tetracaine/amethocaine and oxybuprocaine/benoxinate) is able to numb the eye sufficiently for surgery for most people. The advantage of having surgery only with anesthetic drops is that the recovery time is much faster. Often you will notice an improvement in vision within 1 or 2 hours of surgery. The downside is that you are more likely to feel more discomfort during surgery. Anesthetic injections are administered in 3 ways: retrobulbar, peribulbar and subtenon. Retrobulbar and peribulbar injections are now slowly falling out of favor for cataract operations, but are still useful for other forms of eye surgery. The anesthetic drugs used for injections include lidocaine/lignocaine, ropivacaine and bupivacaine."

Signal peptides may also be called targeting signals, signal sequences, transit peptides, or localization signals. There is some confusion relating to the precise meaning of the term 'signal peptide'. Some sources refer to signal peptides as only the pre-sequence that targets the propeptide to the endoplasmic reticulum and through the secretory pathway.

Goldberg 1+ Author Affiliations Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USAHow do axons grow during development, and why do they fail to regrow when injured? In the complicated mesh of our nervous system, the axon is the information superhighway, carrying all of the data we use to sense our environment and carry out behaviors. To wire up our nervous system properly, neurons must elongate their axons during development to reach their targets. This is no simple task, however. The complex morphology of axons and dendrites puts neurons among the most intricate and beautiful cells in the body. Knowledge of how neurons extend axons and dendrites, elongate at a particular rate, and stop growing at the proper time is critical to understanding the development of our nervous system, yet the regulation of these processes is poorly understood. Considerable attention in recent years has focused on understanding how growth cones are guided and steered through complicated pathways (for review, see Schmidt and Hall 1998; Mueller 1999 ), and even how neurons initiate new processes (for review, see Da Silva and Dotti 2002 ), but what mechanisms are involved in elongation itself? Are environmental signals needed to drive axon growth and, if so, what are the intracellular molecular mechanisms by which they induce elongation? What controls the rate of axon growth?"

Méditerranée, Campus de Luminy, case 906, 13288 Marseille Cedex 09, France. [email protected] and [email protected] The conventional classification of known immune responses by specificity may need re-evaluation. The immune system can be classified into two subsystems: the innate and adaptive immune systems. In general, innate immunity is considered a nonspecific response, whereas the adaptive immune system is thought of as being very specific. In addition, the antigen receptors of the adaptive immune response are commonly viewed as 'master sensors' whose engagement dictates lymphocyte function. Here we propose that these ideas do not genuinely reflect the organization of immune responses and that they bias our view of immunity as well as our teaching of immunology. Indeed, the level of specificity and mode of signaling integration used by the main cellular participants in the adaptive and innate immune systems are more similar than previously appreciated. In vertebrates, innate and adaptive immunity are commonly distinguished on the basis of their levels of specificity, with the antigen receptors of the adaptive immune system mediating highly specific responses, in contrast to the more promiscuous, and therefore less specific, recognition of pathogens by the innate immune receptors."

T-cells cells play a vital role in cell-mediated immunity. Once activated, T-cells secrete chemical messengers called cytokines, which stimulate immune system cells to engulf foreign substances (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and allergens) that enter the body. T-cells are continually produced in the bone marrow. The immature T-cells then migrate through the bloodstream and mature in the thymus gland, which is located in the upper chest. These cells can be distinguished from other types of lymphocytes (B-cells) by the receptor on the outside of their cells called the T-cell receptor (TCR). This receptor allows T-cells to identify specific antigens (foreign substances) that enter the body. There are several types of T-cells, including cytotoxic T-cells, Helper T-cells, memory T-cells, regulatory T-cells, natural killer (NK) T-cells, and Gamma/delta (Yδ) T-cells.

Abstract Echinoderms are of special interest for studies in comparative endocrinology because of their phylogenetic position in the animal kingdom as deuterostomian invertebrates. Furthermore, their pentaradial symmetry as adult animals provides a unique context for analysis of the physiological and behavioral roles of peptide signaling systems. Here we report the first extensive survey of neuropeptide and peptide hormone precursors in a species belonging to the class Holothuroidea. Transcriptome sequence data obtained from the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus were analyzed to identify homologs of precursor proteins that have recently been identified in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (class Echinoidea). A total of 17 precursor proteins have been identified in A. japonicus, including precursors of peptides related to thyrotropin-releasing hormone, pedal peptide/orcokinin-type peptides, AN peptides/tachykinins, luqins, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), GPA2-type glycoprotein hormone subunits and bursicon. In addition, an unusual finding was an A. japonicus calcitonin-type precursor protein (Aj CTLPP), the first to be discovered that comprises two calcitonin-like peptides; this contrasts with the products of the alternatively-spliced calcitonin/CGRP gene in vertebrates, which comprise either calcitonin or CGRP. Collectively, the data obtained provide new insights on the evolution and diversity of neuropeptides and polypeptide hormones. Furthermore, because A. japonicus is one of several sea cucumber species that are used for human consumption, our findings may have practical and economic impact by providing a basis for neuroendocrine-based strategies to improve methods of aquaculture.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Hormones)navigation search For other uses, see Hormone (disambiguation). Different types of hormones are secreted in the body, with different biological roles and functions. A hormone (from the Greek participle “ ὁρμῶ ”, \"\"to set in motion, urge on\"\") is any member of a class of signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour. Hormones have diverse chemical structures, mainly of 3 classes: eicosanoids, steroids, and amino acid / protein derivatives ( amines, peptides, and proteins ). The glands that secrete hormones comprise the endocrine signaling system. The term hormone is sometimes extended to include chemicals produced by cells that affect the same cell ( autocrine or intracrine signalling) or nearby cells ( paracrine signalling ). Hormones are used to communicate between organs and tissues for physiological regulation and behavioral activities, such as digestion, metabolism, respiration, tissue function, sensory perception, sleep, excretion, lactation, stress, growth and development, movement, reproduction, and mood. [ 1] [2] Hormones affect distant cells by binding to specific receptor proteins in the target cell resulting in a change in cell function. When a hormone binds to the receptor, it results in the activation of a signal transduction pathway that typically activates gene transcription resulting in increased expression of target proteins; non-genomic effects are more rapid, and can be synergistic with genomic effects. [ 3] Amino acid–based hormones ( amines and peptide or protein hormones) are water-soluble and act on the surface of target cells via second messengers; steroid hormones, being lipid-soluble, move through the plasma membranes of target cells (both cytoplasmic and nuclear) to act within their nuclei."

Theg Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2005.07.009 Get rights and content Proteins in the chloroplast outer envelope membrane are nuclear encoded and post-translationally targeted to the chloroplast. The targeting and membrane insertion of these proteins is not well understood. Although early work suggested otherwise, the best-studied outer membrane proteins (OMPs) use both proteins within the chloroplast and NTPs for insertion. There have been conflicting reports in the field regarding protein targeting and insertion, which have probably arisen because of differences in experimental methodology and different interpretations of reduction (versus abolition) of integration. This review summarizes what is known to date about the mechanism of chloroplast OMP targeting. Previous article Next article How are nuclear-encoded chloroplast outer membrane proteins targeted? In the past decades, much progress has been made toward understanding the targeting of nuclear-encoded proteins to the chloroplast. Proteinaceous complexes in the outer and inner membranes of the envelope, the Toc ( t ranslocon at the o uter envelope of c hloroplasts) and Tic ( t ranslocon at the i nner envelope of c hloroplasts) complexes, respectively, mediate the import of precursor proteins via the general import pathway [1–3]. However, it is still not clear how proteins destined for the outer membrane of the envelope, including those of the Toc complex itself, are targeted. It was reported that the first outer membrane proteins (OMPs) studied, OEP14 and E 6.7, were inserted into the chloroplast envelope in vitro even after protease treatment of the plastids and without added energy [4,5]. These characteristics, along with a lack of size change upon targeting, defined a hypothesized pathway for chloroplast OMP insertion referred to as the OM14 pathway [6]. These data have also led to the prevailing idea of a spontaneous, or lipid-mediated, insertion mechanism for the targeting of most chloroplast OMPs [7–9]. By contrast, most mitochondrial OMPs and proteins inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane use proteinaceous components for integration [10,11]. More recent work has challenged the notion of spontaneous insertion at the chloroplast envelope [12–14]. Many questions pertaining to the targeting of OMPs remain and there has been confusion in the field about a few key points. Are other proteins – either in the cytosol or in the chloroplast – involved in targeting outer membrane proteins?"

It’s named ‘secretory’ for being the pathway by which the cell secretes proteins into the extracellular environment. But as usual, etymology only tells a fraction of the story. This pathway also processes proteins that will be membrane-bound (whether in the cellular membrane or in the ER or Golgi membranes themselves), as well as lysosomal enzymes, and also any proteins that will live their lives in the secretory pathway itself. It also does some things other than process proteins. The cytosol and the ‘lumen’ (the liquid that fills the secretory pathway) are different chemical environments, and they normally never mix. The cytosol is reductive (when you’re in the cytosol, you keep meeting molecules that want to offer you electrons), and the ER, Golgi and extracellular environment are oxidative (molecules keep coming up to you asking for electrons). See redox if still confused. This makes for different protein-folding conditions: for instance, disulfide bonds usually only form in oxidative conditions."

The ribosome pauses and falls off the m RNA. The stretch of codons between AUG and a stop codon is called an open reading frame (ORF). Computer analysis of DNA sequence can predict the existence of genes based on ORFs. Other amino acids are specified by more than one codon--usually differing at only the third position.

Argireline, or acetyl hexapeptide-3, is known for its use in preventing expression wrinkles from forming by affecting the movement of muscles, and is considered by some as a substitute of Botox in the form of a cream. The fact is though, that Botox and Argireline work in very different ways from each other. You may have heard about this ingredient because it’s used in the popular Elite Eye Serum which is one of the top boutique skin care products you can buy right now. A look at a before and after using an Argireline cream. When a person frowns, neurotransmitters are released to the synapses, which make the muscle receive a signal which tells it to move. The final stages of this process, called exocytosis, involve the use of three proteins, also known as the SNARE complex. How does Argireline work? The company Lipotec discovered Argireline, when they found that acetyl hexapeptide imitates one of the proteins that is present in the SNARE complex, and can also cause its destabilization, meaning that muscle movement will reduce substantially, as a SNARE complex that is even remotely destabilized will not work. This means that you will not have a constant frown on your face, and hence no wrinkles caused by frowning as well."

Growth factors are, therefore, proteins or peptides that are produced by a variety of different cell types and when released into the vasculator interact with and bind to specific receptors on the cell surface eliciting responses within the taerget tissue. The primary result of activating growth factor receptors is cellular proliferation and/or differentiation. Many growth factors are quite versatile, stimulating not only cell growth but also cellular division in numerous different cell types, while others are specific to a particular cell-type. Cytokines are a class of signaling proteins that are used extensively in cellular communication, immune function and embryogenesis. Cytokines are produced by a variety of hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell types and can exert autocrine, paracrine and endocrine effects as do the hormones. They are, therefore, more correctly related to hormones than to growth factors in their overall functions. However, many cytokines also exhibit growth factor activity so they are discussed here as well as in the Peptide Hormones page. Numerous tissues produce and secrete peptides and proteins that exert effects that, in some cases are growth stimulating, and in others are metabolic and/or cellular homeostasis regulating. Using the terminology adopted for hematopoietic modulating proteins (the cytokines) the descriptors for these peptides and proteins includes \"\"kine\"\" as the suffix."

[ 1]Synonyms [1]Species synonymy [show]Acacia pycnantha, commonly known as the golden wattle, is a tree of the family Fabaceae native to southeastern Australia. It grows to a height of 8 m (26 ft) and has phyllodes (flattened leaf stalks) instead of true leaves. Sickle -shaped, these are between 9 and 15 cm ( 3 1⁄ 2 and 6 in) long, and 1–3.5 cm ( 1⁄ 2 – 1 1⁄ 2 in) wide. The profuse fragrant, golden flowers appear in late winter and spring, followed by long seed pods. Plants are cross-pollinated by several species of honeyeater and thornbill, which visit nectaries on the phyllodes and brush against flowers, transferring pollen between them. An understorey plant in eucalyptus forest, it is found from southern New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, through Victoria and into southeastern South Australia. Explorer Thomas Mitchell collected the type specimen, from which George Bentham wrote the species description in 1842. No subspecies are recognised. The bark of A. pycnantha produces more tannin than any other wattle species, resulting in its commercial cultivation for production of this compound."

Some urban wildlife, such as house mice, are synanthropic, ecologically associated with humans. Some species or populations may become entirely dependent on humans. For instance, the range of many synanthropic species is expanded to latitudes at which they could not survive the winter outside of human settlements. Other species simply tolerate cohabiting with humans and using the remaining green spaces, in some cases gradually becoming more accustomed to the new habitat over time and eventually synanthropic. These species represent a minority of the creatures that would normally inhabit an area. For example, a 2014 compilation of studies found that only 8% of native bird and 25% of native plant species were present in urban areas compared with estimates of non-urban density of species.

Tiny birds no more than 13 centimetres long are making an annual 1,600 kilometre trek from Tasmania, across Bass Strait, and as far north as Queensland. It's the equivalent of a human swimming from Auckland to Sydney, then walking to Cairo. By Paul Willis The Tasmanian Silvereye (Source: Paul Willis)The Silvereye ( Zosterops lateralis) is a small bird that weighs about 10 grams. Its name came about because of the thin white rings of colouring around its eyes that give the impression it is wearing silver-rimmed glasses. They make their homes in a range of vegetation including eucalypt forests and woodlands, mallee, heath and mangroves. While Silvereyes are native to Australia, they are also native to a number of other countries including Africa, Asia and the South Pacific region as far east as Fiji. The Silvereye is an adaptable bird capable of spreading to new habitats with ease. In the 1830s they turned up in New Zealand, apparently after being blown off course when crossing Bass Strait from Tasmania, and they are now common in that country. There are several races of Silvereyes, but it's only the Tasmanian race that performs the incredible migration across Bass Strait and up the east coast of Australia."

If yes, then instead of finding your answer, you should send that baby to its nest since its mother will most likely look after it. These baby birds do not have feathers on their skin and so cannot fly. However, if you are unable to track down the nest, you may nurture it on your own or contact your local bird rescue team. Besides, there are some other birds that are called as fledging baby birds. Even though these birds possess feathers yet they can hardly take a leap or flutter their small feathers and hang around until their mother arrives.

R. Gray, 1840Species: P. novaeseelandiae Binomial name Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae ( Gmelin, 1788)The tui ( Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) is an endemic passerine bird of New Zealand, and the only species in the genus Prosthemadera. It is one of the largest species in the diverse Australasian honeyeater family, and one of two living species of that family found in New Zealand, the other being the related New Zealand bellbird. The species has a wide distribution in the archipelago, ranging from the subtropical Kermadec Islands to the sub-Antarctic Auckland Islands, as well as the main islands. Contents [ hide ]1 Name2 Description3 Distribution and habitat4 Behaviour and ecology4.1 Feeding4.2 Songs and calls5 References6 External links Name [ edit]The name tui is from the Māori name tūī and is the species' formal common name. The plural is tui in modern English, or ngā tūī in Māori usage; [2] some speakers still use the '-s' suffix to produce the Anglicised form tuis to indicate plurality, but this practice is becoming less common. [ 3] The early European colonists called it the parson bird, [4] and mockingbird [5] but, as with many New Zealand birds, the Māori name tūī (increasingly, spelled with macrons) is now the common name and the early English names are archaic. [ 6]Description [ edit]The tui is a large honeyeater, 27 to 32 cm (11–13 in) in length. The Chatham Islands subspecies is larger on average than the nominate subspecies, and heavier. Males tend to be heavier than females. Nominate males weigh between 65–15 g (2.29–0.53 oz), and females 58–105 g (2.0–3.7 oz)."

For example, you may have heard of cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, Fragile X syndrome, muscular dystrophy, or Huntington disease. These are all examples of single gene disorders. As a rule, single gene disorders are not very common. For example, only one in 2,500 people are born with cystic fibrosis. There are a number of inheritance patterns of single gene disorders that are predictable when you know what they are. Autosomal dominant means that a person only needs one copy of the changed gene (genetic difference) in order to have the disorder. Usually, the changed gene is inherited from a parent who also has the disorder and every generation in the family may have members with the disorder. There are some instances in which a person has the gene that causes the disorder and does not show symptoms of the disorder, but can still pass the gene to his or her children. A person who carriers a gene for an autosomal dominant disorder has a 50% chance of passing the gene to each child."

Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Genes are codes for heredity in organisms, therefore a single strand of DNA contains codes for specific genes. There are also ways to measure DNA through a process in which the number of units belong to a gene. Not every cell contains DNA equal to the number of genes. It also depends on what type of cells we are talking about. If you are talking about embryonic cells, it will contain different genes that will manyfest physically according to the hereidity and the code provided by the parent cells.

What we did know was that skin color, like hair and eye color, is the result of more than one gene. Lots of genes work together to determine our coloring.

The DNA sequence of a chromosome can change in large segments as well, by the processes of recombination and transposition. Recombination is the production of new DNA molecule (s) from two parental DNA molecules or different segments of the same DNA molecule; this will be the topic of this chapter. Transposition is a highly specialized form of recombination in which a segment of DNA moves from one location to another, either on the same chromosome or a different chromosome; this will be discussed in the next chapter. Types and examples of recombination At least four types of naturally occurring recombination have been identified in living organisms (Fig. 8.1). General or homologous recombination occurs between DNA molecules of very similar sequence, such as homologous chromosomes in diploid organisms. General recombination can occur throughout the genome of diploid organisms, using one or a small number of common enzymatic pathways. This chapter will be concerned almost entirely with general recombination. Illegitimate or nonhomologous recombination occurs in regions where no large-scale sequence similarity is apparent, e.g. translocations between different chromosomes or deletions that remove several genes along a chromosome."

This implies there is a normal allele that is prevalent in the population and that the mutation changes this to a rare and abnormal variant. In contrast, a polymorphism is a DNA sequence variation that is common in the population. In this case no single allele is regarded as the standard sequence. Instead there are two or more equally acceptable alternatives. The arbitrary cut-off point between a mutation and a polymorphism is 1 per cent. That is, to be classed as a polymorphism, the least common allele must have a frequency of 1per cent or more in the population. If the frequency is lower that this, the allele is regarded as a mutation."

"text": "What is genetic engineering and how does it work? What is genetic engineering? Genetic engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism. The goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in that organism. Examples of genetically engineered (transgenic) organisms currently on the market include plants with resistance to some insects, plants that can tolerate herbicides, and crops with modified oil content. Understanding Genetic Engineering: Basic Biology To understand how genetic engineering works, there are a few key biology concepts that must be understood. CONCEPT #1: What is DNA? DNA is the recipe for life. DNA is a molecule found in the nucleus of every cell and is made up of 4 subunits represented by the letters A, T, G, and C. The order of these subunits in the DNA strand holds a code of information for the cell. Just like the English alphabet makes up words using 26 letters, the genetic language uses 4 letters to spell out the instructions for how to make the proteins an organism will need to grow and live."

"text": "\"Food & Drink Beer, Wine & Spirits What does single &double malt mean as regards whisky? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Single malt ... contrary to common perception ... refers to Scotch whiskey made from 100% malted barley from a Single Distillery ... and not to the number of malts used. A scotch called double malt (not an official nomenclature) ... is extremely uncommon ... and probably is refering to a vatted or blended malt scotch whiskey which combines malt whiskeys from just two distilleries. It would be officially known as a blended scotch, but that wouldn't give proper credit to its more exclusive pedigree. I have seen these sometimes called \"\"Double Single\"\" malt scotch whiskey. Blended scotch is made from both malted barley and grain whiskeys and is usually sourced from many distilleries. The reason single malts are considered superior nowadays is the use of only malt whiskeys and the more intense taste. They are also more expensive. Blended scotch typically uses only 10-50% malt whiskey mixed with less expensive and less intensely flavored grain distillates. This was originally done because pure malt was considered too strongly flavored."

Shake or milkshake is a thoroughly shaken or blended drink made of milk, a flavoring syrup, and often ice cream. Malts are made by adding malt powder to milkshakes. Therefore, the main difference between malt and shake is the addition of malt powder; milkshakes do not contain malt powder, but malts do. What is Malt Malt is made by just adding malt powder to shake. Malt powder is made from a blend of malted barley, wheat flour, and evaporated whole milk. Malt powder is readily available in at any market. One or two spoonful of malt powder is enough for a single milkshake. The powder can also be sprinkled on the top of the drink for extra flavor.

"text": "To the novice, brewing can seem a bit daunting, but, as is the case with any hobby, that initial hesitation is replaced by confidence via experience. That same experience makes the task of brewing simpler, even as the process becomes seemingly more complicated. Brewing also gets the intellectual and creative gears turning, opening up a world of endless possibilities that can be taken to the homebrewery. Well-seasoned brewers often craft beer in rather Spartan fashion, relying on the interplay of medium and technique rather than the complication of an extensive list of ingredients. Brewers are now touting single malt and, even more impressively, single malt and single hop (SMa SH) beers. Homebrewers are especially keen to this idea, as it is not only a means to simplify a recipe (and ingredient list) but serves to test one’s brewhouse mettle in several ways. There is a myriad of base malt suitable for this approach and a number of brews that can be cobbled from each. Both classic styles and experimental brews are possible with basic attention to mash and kettle parameters in conjunction with a singular base malt. Minimalist brewing at its finest.

Michael Dietsch Profile Twitter Facebook Contact8 Printer-Friendly Version Next week in this space, I'll be looking in some depth at the world of Scotch whisky, but first, I want to clarify a point of some confusion: the distinction between single malt and blended whisky. Consumers and even some bartenders have a misconception that single-malt Scotch is not a blended whisky, but this is a myth. Single-malt scotch is a blend, but it's a very specific type of blend. In fact, nearly all whiskies on the market today are blends—bourbons, ryes, Tennessees, scotches, etc.—although in this article I'll focus on Scotch. The confusion arises from the misunderstanding of two words— blend and single —words whose seeming simplicity mask a more complicated reality. What Is a Blend? What we need to do here is to establish that there are two different ways to use the word blend —an informal way and a formal, or legal, way. Informally, a blend is a mixture—in this case, a mixture of two or more whiskies that are bottled and sold as one whisky."

The distillery was founded in 1886 by William Grant and not only do they make the best selling and most awarded scotch whiskies in the world, but they were one of the first single malts to invest in advertising and marketing. From all accounts, it seems to have worked. Glenfiddich 12 isn’t what you would call an exciting whisky, but it is a good whisky and that’s why it has been able to gain the market share that it has over the years. It’s cheap, good and readily accessible to anyone who wants a soft and easily drinkable single malt. Which, as luck would have it, is exactly what most whisky drinkers want and there’s nothing wrong with that. Not every dram you have needs to be a cask strength peat fueled beast that charges out of the bottle. Sometimes you want something nice and simple, but still tasty, to relax with. Overall I like the Glenfiddich 12 and if you haven’t had it you should."

Single malts are typically associated with single malt Scotch, though they are also produced in various other countries. [ 1] Under Scotch Whisky Regulations, a \"\"Single Malt Scotch Whisky\"\" must be made exclusively from malted barley (although the addition of E150A caramel colouring is allowed), must be distilled using pot stills at a single distillery, and must be aged for at least three years in oak casks of a capacity not exceeding 700 litres (150 imperial gallons; 180 US gallons). [ 2] [3] While the Scotch model is usually copied internationally, these constraints may not apply to whisky marketed as single malt that is produced elsewhere. For example, there is no definition of the term single with relation to whisky in the law of the United States, and some American whiskey advertised as single malt whisky is produced from malted rye rather than malted barley.

"text": "\"Scotch Malt Whisky Society Single Malt Scotches Scotch Whiskey Liquor and Spirits Alcohol What is the difference between malt whiskey and grain whiskey?5 Answers Jeffrey Nichols, Consumer of spirits, cocktail book author Answered Apr 10, 2014 · Author has 181 answers and 569.3k answer views It's important to understand that the primary difference between most major types of whiskey is the \"\"mash bill\"\": the combination of grains used to produce the wort, which is then fermented and distilled to produce the whiskey. There are other ways that production can differ as well, such as the type of still used, how the whiskey is aged, etc., but I'll leave those for another answer. Malting is a process by which the enzymes present in some cereal grains are activated in order to convert complex starches already present in the grains into simpler sugars that can be fermented by yeast. Barley contains a large amount of these enzymes compared to other grains. For this reason, malted barley is often combined with other grains when creating a wort, because the enzymes produced by the barley will break down the starches in the other grains more efficiently than if those other grains had been malted on their own. Malt whiskey is whiskey produced from grains that were 100% malted. This generally means that the mash bill was 100% barley. Scotch malt whisky is required by law to be 100% barley. Single malt whisky is a malt whisky produced at one distillery."

Distilleries that make malt whisky don't usually do both malt *and* grain (such as rye, corn, etc) but some do. Blended whiskies are various combinations of malt and grain, usually from a variety of distilleries. Blends vary in character and quality, but are made in such a fashion that their flavor is consistent year after year. Vatted malts are also more consistent due to the blending of various malt whiskies to make the final result consistent."

Updated Feb 1, 2018 · Author has 378 answers and 1m answer views To help clarify some of the partially correct (and some totally incorrect answers) already here, I’d sum it up as follows*: Whiskey (also often spelled “whisky”): This term refers to a distilled beverage made from fermented grain mash. There are many types of whiskey/whisky, often broken down into categories, based on where and how it is produced. The choice of how it is spelled (while considered technically correct in either spelling) is dependent on the type and place of origin. Generally speaking, the spelling “whiskey” is most often used in the United States and Ireland. Scotland, Japan, Canada, and a large number of other countries tend to use “whisky”. It is the same word and refers to the same category of beverages, and there are even exceptions within the countries mentioned above. But generally speaking, they refer to the same thing, and will be spelled one way or the other depending on the country of origin. Blended whiskey: The term “blended” is a confusing one because it has a correct meaning, and a colloquially used (but technically incorrect) meaning. In most areas that have specified procedures and definitions for whisky production, the term blended is used to denote malt whiskeys that have been combined with grain whisky during production."

United States Persons The term ''United States person'' means: A citizen or resident of the United States A domestic partnership A domestic corporation Any estate other than a foreign estate Any trust if: A court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust, and One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust Any other person that is not a foreign person. Foreign Persons A foreign person includes: Nonresident alien individual Foreign corporation Foreign partnership Foreign trust A foreign estate Any other person that is not a U. S. person Generally, the U. S. branch of a foreign corporation or partnership is treated as a foreign person. Refer to Internal Revenue Code section 7701 (a) (31) for the definition of a foreign estate and a foreign trust. Check-the-box Entities (See Form 8832 and Instructions)For Federal tax purposes, certain business entities automatically are classified as corporations. Other business entities may choose how they are classified for Federal tax purposes. Except for a business entity automatically classified as a corporation, a business entity with at least two members can choose to be classified as either an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership, and a business entity with a single member can choose to be classified as either an association taxable as a corporation or disregarded as an entity separate from its owner. Note: Changes to Treasury Regulation section 301.7701–2 (c) (2) (iv) provide that, with respect to wages paid after December 31, 2008, a disregarded entity is treated as a separate entity for purposes of employment taxes imposed under Subtitle C of the Internal Revenue Code and related reporting requirements.

"text": "Disregarded Entity Definition - What is a Disregarded Entity? What is a disregarded entity? A disregarded entity is a business entity which is considered to be an undivided part of the owner of the entity for federal tax purposes. That is, the entity is disregarded as an entity separate from the owner. A good example of disregarded entities is a single member LLC that does not choose to be classified as a corporation for federal tax purposes. A single member limited liability company that is not classified as a corporation automatically defaults to a disregarded entity, and file federal income tax return as a sole proprietorship. How does IRS treat a disregarded entity? IRS does not require a disregarded entity to file a separate income tax return because the assets of the disregarded entity are considered as the assets of the owner of the entity. The entity is allowed to be taxed as a “pass-through” entity on its owner’s personal tax return. The income, deductions and loss of the disregarded entity are included in its owner’s return."

"text": "\"Japan: Differences Between Japanese GK Entity And US LLCLast Updated: 26 November 2006 Article by Michael Yoshii Latham & Watkins On May 1, 2006, a new type of Japanese legal entity named the Godo Kaisha (GK) was born. Although it is commonly referred to as the \"\"Japanese LLC,\"\" a GK differs from a US LLC in several important respects. Taxable Entity In Japan The GK is taxed like a corporation in Japan, and therefore is not a disregarded entity for Japanese tax purposes, unlike the disregarded entity tax status of an LLC in the US. Tax practitioners do believe, however, that the IRS will allow taxpayers to \"\"check the box\"\" for GKs and therefore a GK can be a disregarded entity for US tax purposes. Partnership Governance Concepts Apply The creators of the GK wanted to discourage use of the GK to avoid the mandatory governance and other formalities of a Japanese kabushiki kaisha (KK) corporation. The Japanese Ministry of Justice has explicitly stated in its outline of the new Company Law (Law No. 86 of 2005) that it intends Japanese partnership concepts to apply to GK governance rather than KK corporate governance concepts. One manifestation of this is that, unlike with a US LLC, a GK does not have the legal capacity to act on its own, and instead only acts through its members. 1 In this respect, the GK is more like a Japanese partnership (which only acts through its partners) than an LLC (which is a separate legal entity that can act on its own). A GK must have at least one \"\"executive member,\"\" i.e., a member that implements the business of the GK."

Rubinger and Summer Ayers Le Pree on October 23, 2014Posted in CFC/Subpart F & Section 956On October 14, 2014, the Irish Minister for Finance released proposals as part of the 2015 Irish Budget that would cause Irish incorporated non-resident (“INR”) companies to be treated as tax resident in Ireland beginning January 1, 2015. The goal is to shut down the use of so-called “Double Irish” and “Double Irish Dutch Sandwich” structures commonly used by U. S. multinationals, such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, among others, to significantly reduce their worldwide effective tax rate on royalties derived from the exploitation of intellectual property. Although the rules are proposed to take effect January 1, 2015, so that any new Irish incorporated company will be regarded as an Irish tax resident after that date, the proposal contains a grandfathering rule for existing INR companies that will allow such companies to continue to be regarded as non-residents of Ireland until December 31, 2020. The proposal clearly demonstrates Ireland’s desire to comply with the G20-endorsed new international tax initiatives (such as the “Base Erosion and Profits Shifting” initiative). The question, however, is whether this proposal actually will have any impact on U. S. multinational companies that utilize INR companies in their global structures, given that Ireland’s vast treaty network presumably will continue to allow Irish incorporated companies that are effectively managed outside of Ireland to be regarded as a non-residents of Ireland for Irish tax purposes. U. S. Tax System, in General The U. S. federal income tax treatment of a corporation depends on whether the corporation is domestic or foreign. For U. S. federal income tax purposes, a corporation is treated as domestic if it is incorporated under the law of the U. S. or of any state. All other corporations (i.e., those incorporated under the laws of foreign countries) are treated as foreign."

A: United States tax law requires that all persons, whether foreign or domestic, pay income tax on the disposition of U. S. real property interests. Domestic persons or entities typically are subject to this tax as part of their regular income tax; however, it requires that a buyer withhold and remit to the IRS a certain percentage of the sales price in anticipation of the taxes that will be due from the foreign seller on such transaction. Q: Does FIRPTA applies to personal residence? A: FIRPTA applies in nearly all transactions, residential and commercial, in which a foreign owner of a U. S. real property interest sells such interest. The amount withheld is not the tax itself, but is payment on account of the taxes that ultimately will be due from the seller. Q: What is the definition of a “foreign person” with regards to FIRPTA? A: FIRPTA defines a “Foreign Person” is defined as any person other than a “United States Person. ”Q: What is the definition of a “United States Person”?

Federal Tax Classifications When LLCs were first invented the IRS decided not to create a new tax classification, but rather allow the LLC to choose from the existing tax classifications (sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation). Unless you tell the IRS otherwise, a single-member LLC will be taxed as a sole proprietorship; and a multi-member LLC is taxed as a partnership. Tax flexibility is one of the reasons the LLC is so popular. Below you can read about the various tax classifications available to a Texas LLC.

In order to better appreciate – if not fully understand – the changes wrought by the Act regarding the Federal taxation of trade or business income that is recognized, “directly or indirectly,” by non-corporate taxpayers, the reader should be reminded of the existing rules, and should also be made aware of the policy underlying the changes. Pre-2018A business that is conducted by an individual as a sole proprietorship (whether directly or through a single-member LLC that is disregarded for tax purposes) is not treated as an entity separate from its owner. Rather, the owner is taxed directly on the income of the business. A business that is conducted by two or more individuals as a general partnership, a state law limited partnership, or a state law limited liability company, is treated as a pass-through entity for tax purposes – a partnership.

What is a Single-member LLC? A limited liability company with only one owner is called a Single-member LLC (SMLLC). An LLC is a business entity that separates the business from the owner, offering some liability protection. It also is a pass-through taxing entity that allows the owner to pay the income taxes of the business on his or her personal tax return. How does a Single-member LLC get a Tax ID Number?

Nautical Tattoos with the Jolly Roger, or famed pirate's flag of Skull and Crossed Bones, Old School Tattoos, New School Tattoos, Bio-Mechanical and every School of Tattoos in between. Skull symbolism is instinctive in human nature. The human mind is primed to recognize faces, and so eager to find them that it can see faces in a few dots and lines or punctuation marks; the face that looks back from a human skull cannot avoid recognition as having been once human. Moreover, a human skull, with its eyes much larger than in life, displays a degree of neoteny (think of kittens, puppies and babies, no, seriously), which humans often find visually appealing. Yet, a skull is obviously dead. As such, human skulls have a visual appeal beyond the other bones of the human skeleton, and can fascinate even as they repel. One look at a skull and we can see death staring at us from those big empty sockets. It's not surprising then that the skull is known all over the world as a symbol of death. In many cultures, it is held up as a reminder of our own mortality or, in the universal Latin, a memento mori - a memento of mortality."

K. The two early hominid ancestors that have been most focused on in the 20th/21st centuries as 'breakthrough' species in the hominid line are Homo habilis and Homo erectus. Homo habilis Fossilized bone remains of Homo habilis were discovered in the 1960s by Richard Leakey at the famous Olduvai Gorge site. Leakey made the claim that H. habilis was a tool-making creature. More recent claims attribute the tools found at the site to another species. ( We need to integrate information from Johanson and Edgar 2006 and the other most up to date sources to see if there is an emerging consensus on this. ) Here is a site from the Smithsonian with some fossil skull pictures: Habilis skull remains An associate of Leakey's who was a co-discover of the habilis finds is Philip Tobias, based at the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa. Tobias advanced the view that H. habilis had extreme brain lateralization. He argued that such extreme lateralization supports the capacity for toolmaking and ALSO some level of linguistic development."

The Mexica knew her by another name MICTECACIHUATL \"\"Lady of the Land of the Dead\"\" another spelling may be MICTLANTECIHUATL, she was believed to be a protector of souls residing in the dark underworld. Mistress to MICTLANTECAHTLI Lord of Mictlan Land of the dead Lord of Darkness. The Mexica depicted Mictecacihuatl as a woman in traditional Mexica female garb adorned or decorated with flags which were put upon corpses prepared for cremation, she wears a skull mask with a beak portruding from the nasal cavity of the skull mask, or perhaps it is a knife or blade thereof. I will try to focus on the Lady of the Land of the Dead, and in another essay I will cover more in depth the symbolism and special aspects of LORD MICTLANTECAHTLI with the exception of noting some of his icons and how they relate to Mictecacihuatl and her current form the Santa Muerte. Mictecacihuatl is the goddess that is connected to the sacred Day of the Dead in Mexico Dia de los Muertos, originally the holiday fell at the end of the month of July and the beginning of August, dedicated to the children and the dead. The holiday was moved in post-conquest times by the Spanish Priests to coincide with All Hallows Eve, a vain attempt by the priests to convert this sacred day to a Christian holiday. Never the less the Day of the dead retains its ancient roots honoring the Lady of the Land of the Dead. It is said that the old Gods are not dead but sleeping and can awaken through faith and prayer. Both Mictecacihuatl and her lord Mictlantecahtli were given blood offerings by the Mexica asking in exchange for a favorable or peaceful death when the time came to die."

The mask measures 14,3 centimeters (5.3 inches) by 11,3 centimeters (4.4 inches) width and consists of a rare green stone called \"\"guatemalita\"\" which is only found in Guatemala (traditional Mayan country). This type of mask was utilized by the ancient Mayan shaman when they officiated ceremonies. They placed it over their face and transformed into \"\"Kemé - el señor del inframundo\"\" - a Lord of the Infraworld (which covers the Lower World: 9 earth layers of the Mayan Universe) with all its magic, energy, purity and power. Simply meditating with these pictures alone gives you a glimpse of the amazing powerful energy of this Mayan masterpiece. During the recent Crystal Skull World Meditation, I focused on these photos of this Mayan Crystal Skull Mask which guided me to experience a phenomenal mystical journey that was unlike anything I have ever encountered before:\"\"At first I felt the rush of being the only one in the world of seeing it this way - then I realized the magnificance of the mask with its shape-shifting facial quality that could be used for either good or not. I have noticed this perceived duality in the past with other noteworthy crystal skulls. But what was totally unexpected was what happened when I looked at the inner side of the mask. It's like this inside silhouette has captured the energetic imprint of those who have worn it before and has left an almost palpable residue of ancient wisdom. It's like the mask's interior served as a direct contact, a sort of conduit, to generations of Mayan Shaman."

"text": "Arts | Design Skull and Crossbones as Branding Tool By ALICE RAWSTHORN MAY 1, 2011‘‘Capture of the Pirate Blackbeard,’’painted by Jean Leon Jerome Ferris in 1718, features a skull and crossbones over the mayhem of battle. The Art Archive/Superstock LONDON — When the sailors on the British Navy ship H. M. S. Poole spotted a French pirate vessel off the Cape Verde islands in July 1700, they chased it into a cove only for the pirates’ leader, Emanuel Wynn, to escape. The skirmish was recorded by the Poole’s captain, John Cranby, who included a description of the “cross bones, a death’s head and an hour glass” on Wynn’s flag. Captain Cranby’s report is one of the first recorded sightings of a pirate’s flag emblazoned with a human skull and pair of diagonally crossed bones. During the early 1700s, those symbols were adopted (usually without the hourglass) by pirates worldwide in an astonishingly successful exercise in collective branding design. The key to its success was clarity of meaning, which is an essential element in every effective branding project, and any other form of communication design. Just as Nike’s “swoosh” logo makes us think of speed and the horse-drawn carriage in Hermès’s identity screams posh, the sight of a skull and crossbones on a ship’s flag signaled one thing to 18th-century sailors like those on the Poole or the merchant vessels they were protecting: terror. You may be wondering why swashbuckling outlaws like 18th-century pirates, most of whom lived in fear of capture, should have chosen to identify their ships with such distinctive motifs. The answer lies in the economics of piracy. ‘‘The Pirate King,’’ an 1880 drawing, attributed to N. Stretch."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Religion & Spirituality What do skulls symbolize? Flag What do skulls symbolize? Answer by Billie Joe Armstronglover Confidence votes 181That depends on the culture and the context. In some cultures they are venerated as the vessel of the soul, or simply as relics of ancestors. They were also thought to represent wisdom and guidance. They could also symbolize death, either divine or caused by man and were often used as ornaments or weapons to terrorize enemies. They were used in various ceremonies and mytical rituals as symbols of gods or aspects of nature in order to commune with the dead or the gods or cast spells. There are many more examples but I can't think of them off the top of my head (no pun intended) I agree with everything you said, but skulls don't usually mean death. My parents won't let me wear them either. I think it's really stupid."

However there is no denying that many also look for that eternal symbol of death in their patches. The skull. Skulls have been around as a symbol of death and warning for centuries and in modern use have not disappeared or lost their potency. When used in military patches, skulls serve as a warning to those who look upon them that the wearer brings death and mortality to those he encounters. They evoke fear in the enemy, confidence in the soldier, but mostly brings an understanding to the field of combat that life is short. Many units have chosen the skull symbol as their mascot for their unit and patches and many more will continue to do so, at least until there is no more death.

I described exactly how long-standing, chronic neck pain could have shoulder and upper back origins, particularly from the trapezius and levator scapulae muscles. We discussed some fundamental musculoskeletal dysfunctions at the root of neck and shoulder pain— subluxations, muscle tightness ( hypertonia ), spasm and trigger points—and a few things you can do at home to relieve some of these issues. This article is going to get a little more specific as to how time and gravity factor into chronic neck and shoulder pain, primarily as it relates to posture . I will also outline and demonstrate through video what you can do, again, on your own at home, with exercises to strengthen, stabilize, and correct your upper back and shoulder dysfunction. In the end, you will understand how chronic neck pain develops and how you can prevent it from becoming that nagging problem that keeps you up, and hurting, at night. Muscular Imbalances Result from Hypertonic (tight) muscles Last article I discussed one form of muscular dysfunction that can cause neck and upper back pain—muscle spasms. Muscle spasms result from muscle fibers “forgetting” to relax. They somehow lose touch with the neurological signal that tells them to release. A less extreme form of constant contraction is called hypertonicity —hyper meaning “a lot,” and tonic meaning “tone,” so muscles with a lot of tone or contraction."

"text": "\"A Patient's Guide to Neck Pain (Overview)Introduction Over many years, our necks are subjected to repeated stress and minor injury. These injuries may not cause pain at the time of injury. However, repeated injuries add up, and can eventually result in degeneration of the cervical spine, causing neck pain. Most neck pain is due to degenerative changes that occur in the neck. The overall condition of the cervical spine usually determines how fast you recover from an injury, and whether your neck pain will become a chronic problem. For chronic neck pain, there may not be a quick fix or complete cure. You will need to work with your health care team to try to improve the problem causing pain and to slow down the degenerative process. The physician's role in the treatment of neck pain is to find the main causes that need treatment right away. He or she will also try to keep your neck pain from becoming a chronic condition by teaching you how to slow down the degenerative process and prevent further injury. The purpose of this information is to help you understand: The causes of neck pain The normal anatomy of the spine and neck The signs and symptoms of degenerative changes in the neck The treatments available to you now and later What you can expect from those treatments What you can expect long-term if you have a problem with neck pain In order to understand your symptoms and treatment choices, you must start with some understanding of the general anatomy of your spine and neck."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A penalty in ice hockey is a punishment for an infringement of the rules. Most penalties are enforced by sending the offending player to a penalty box for a set number of minutes. During the penalty the player may not participate in play. Penalties are called and enforced by the referee, or in some cases the linesman. The offending team may not replace the player on the ice (although there are some exceptions, such as fighting), leaving them short-handed as opposed to full strength. When the opposing team is said to be on a power play, they will have one more player on the ice than the short-handed team. The short-handed team is said to be \"\"on the penalty kill\"\" until the penalty expires and the penalized player returns to play. While standards vary somewhat between leagues, most leagues recognize several common varieties of penalties, as well as common infractions. The statistic used to track penalties was traditionally called \"\"Penalty Infraction Minutes\"\" (PIM), although the alternate term \"\"penalty minutes\"\" has become common in recent years. It represents the total assessed length of penalties each player or team has accrued. ["

Some come with zippers in the back, while others are zipper-free. Basically, they come in all shapes and sizes, but the basic principles are consistent.

"text": "\"Anatomy & Physics of Muscles In our last newsletter, we examined the physiology of the human muscle system from an alternative health perspective. In this newsletter, we continue with that theme by exploring both the physics of muscle movement and the code that underpins muscle anatomy. And no, the goal is not to teach you the names of all 799 skeletal muscles in the body, but rather to show you \"\"how\"\" the muscles are named. Muscle names are not just a bunch of random Latin words, but rather, are named according to a set of informal rules; and once you understand those rules, you can pretty much tell where any muscle is located and what it does. By itself, though, this is not important; but once armed with the information, we will then be able to talk about exercise -- and exactly how to exercise our muscles to accomplish specific goals and achieve optimum health. The Physics of Muscles Before we can discuss the naming system for muscles, we need to understand the principle of levers that make the whole musculoskeletal system work since many muscle names are derived from that principle. The reason for this is simple: all skeletal muscles provide stability and produce movement in the body by acting as the force or effort applied to the levers of our bones -- and by using opposing forces to achieve mechanical advantage. Or to put it another way, muscles move bones around joints. There are actually three types or classes of levers, but when we think of levers, we normally think of what are known as first class levers. These are the levers where the fulcrum is located between the effort (or force) we exert and the load (or weight) we are trying to move."

Unique to Universal Studios Singapore is a river rafting edition of Jurassic Park’s popular adventure rides. The other three Jurassic Park rides are known as “River Adventures”. While Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure lack the dramatic, breathtaking vistas and an elaborate indoor segment that River Adventures are well-known for, it makes up with unpredictable and thrilling rafting maneuvers. The ride was closed from 10 August 2011 till 20 January 2012 for extended refurbishment. So anyway, this comprehensive update entry features a photo tour of the queue, loading area and splashdown of this attraction, as well as a list of changes that I have observed (to the best of my ability).

Nicholsson Confidence votes 24.4KI have come to realise, I don't have all the answers, I don't even have all the questions yet... but I'm working on it. Snakes are an ancient symbol of wisdom. More recently they have become symbolic of sinister things. A snake ring worn on the first finger suggests this is an egotistical person and they are using the snake to enhance their status. A snake ring on the second finger suggests this is a materialistic person and they are using the snake to enhance their wealth. A snake ring on the third finger suggests this is an emotional person and they are using the snake to mitigate their emotions. A snake ring on the fourth (little) finger, suggests this is a person with sexual inhibitions and they are using the snake to either hide or overcome this problem. A snake ring on the thumb suggests this person is strong willed and motivated and they are using the snake to enhance these qualities.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

For the medical symbol with one snake, often mistakenly referred to as a caduceus, see Rod of Asclepius. For other uses, see Caduceus (disambiguation). Modern depiction of the caduceus as the symbol of commerce Hermes Ingenui [1] carrying a winged kerykeion upright in his left hand, Roman copy after a Greek original of the 5th century BCE ( Museo Pio-Clementino, Rome ).

The same staff was also borne by heralds in general, for example by Iris, the messenger of Hera. It is a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. In Roman iconography, it was often depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury, the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves. [ 3]Some accounts suggest that the oldest known imagery of the caduceus have their roots in a Mesopotamian origin with the Sumerian god Ningishzida whose symbol, a staff with two snakes intertwined around it, dates back to 4000 B. C. to 3000 B. C. [4]As a symbolic object, it represents Hermes (or the Roman Mercury), and by extension trades, occupations, or undertakings associated with the god."

Farming Information To increase soul farming, equip the Symbol of Avarice, Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, Mendicant's Staff and/or Shield of Want. All soul farming methods can be improved by equipping the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring (10%), the Shield of Want (20%), the Mendicant's Staff (20%), and the Symbol of Avarice (50%), which--when all pieces are equipped--will increase the total number of souls gained for killing enemies 237.60% (291.6% with CSSR+3). ( The buff works by multiplying the number of souls dropped by the smallest multiplier (buff) first and then multiplying the product of that calculation by the next smallest buff, etc, for all items that increase the buff. As an example, say you have equipped the Covetous Silver Serpant Ring (10% buff or a multiplier of 1.10) and the Symbol Avarice (50% or 1.50). If an enemy that drops 1000 souls is killed, the number of souls gained will be 1000*1.10=1100 and then 1100*1.50=1650. The total buff, to simplify future calculations, would be 1650÷1000= 1.65 (165%) so instead of two calculations just multiply: (number of souls dropped)*1.65= (increased number of souls gained by buff. To increase item drops, equip the Crystal Sage's Rapier, Covetous Gold Serpent Ring, and Symbol of Avarice.

There are two symbols which are often used in the medical profession to refer to medicine. These are the Caduceus (the winged staff of Hermes entwined with two snakes) and the Rod of Asclepius (A rod with one snake coiled around it in the process of shedding its skin). The latter is by far the more appropriate symbol, and is far more ancient in usage than the Caduceus which has been erroniously used as a symbol for medicine for some time due to confusion between the two symbols in the middle ages. There are several theories about the snake on the rod. Several of which are based in symbolism or mythology. However the most likely theory has to do with a parasitic nematode, the Guinea worm (Dracunculus medinensis)."

Snakes were associated with the winged snake god Quetzalcoatl, so it is unlikely to be a snake in the original myth, the Spanish however made it a snake to fit Christian symbolism).

You are in for one hell of an answer. The two basic geometric shapes are storied, and in their mathematical perfection, many civilizations and subgroups have made divine associations between the shapes' characteristics and their people's intentions. Here are some prime examples of triangles inscribed within circles. * * * In the occult, it is the Thaumaturgic Triangle/Circle. Thaumaturgy comes from 18th century Greek, meaning \"\"wonder-working\"\" (read: magic). The \"\"ritual circle\"\" ring represents boundaries of power in most occult symbols, usually as protection from evil (and a sign of life). The triangle is the Devil's door, whence summoned demons come. Witches use the inscribed triangle to view magic: the lower left represents Arcane magic, the lower right represents the Divine, and the top represents witchcraft (a blend of the Arcane and Divine). NB: This modern reasoning is beholden to Wiccan revivalists, as a new youth subculture interested in the Thaumaturgic Triangle's satanic associations."

The animals message is the nature of the animal itself. For example, the message of eagle is about freedom, courage, focus, high ideals, vision, power and spirit. Time to take action, be direct, move forward."

"text": "You may have noticed some Isha meditators wearing snake rings like the one below. You may even be wearing one now. But you may not know the purpose and significance behind wearing these copper rings on the ring finger. Sadhguru explains, “As there is a physical body, there is a whole energy body… This energy that we generally refer to as either prana or Shakti, flows through the body in certain established patterns; it is not moving randomly. There are 72,000 different ways in which it moves. In other words, there are 72,000 pathways in the system through which it is flowing. So nadis are pathways or channels in the system. They do not have a physical manifestation; if you cut the body and look inside, you will not find these nadis. But as you become more and more aware, you will notice the energy is not moving at random; it is moving in established pathways…In yoga, it is said that one who has mastery over his ring finger can rewrite anybody’s destiny. If I just touch my ring finger in a certain way I can rewrite your destiny if I wish to."

S. Navy and U. S. Marine Corps Benjamin Franklin diverts an idle hour Christopher Gadsden and Esek Hopkins The Revolutionary standard [The Gadsden flag: Don't Tread on Me]Don't Tread on Me The Fourth of July never fails to reinspire my patriotism and sense of community with my fellow Americans, even when those fellow Americans are a mob of drunken cretins and teenagers trying to get out of downtown Chicago at 11pm. I like seeing all the American flags. I do have my complaints about the American government, especially about how intimately the Washington D. C. politicians feel they should be involved in the daily lives of their subjects, I mean, citizens. But the flag isn't just a symbol of the American government. It's a symbol of shared American values -- especially our highest common value: freedom. When it comes to symbolizing freedom and the spirit of '76, I do think there's a better American flag. With all due respect to the stars and stripes, I prefer the yellow Gadsden flag with the coiled rattlesnake and the defiant Don't Tread on Me motto. The meaning of Old Glory can get mixed up with the rights and wrongs of the perpetually new-and-improved government. The meaning of \"\"Don't Tread on Me\"\" is unmistakable. There's also an interesting history behind this flag."

A snake in a dream has many symbolic meanings. A snake is symbolic of healing and transformation. The snake is symbolic of the kundalini. The snake biting its own tail is the urboros, a symbol of birth and death then rebirth. The snake in alchemy is related to the mythical Dragon, a symbol of instinctual life in the body, and libido. To kill in a dream is symbolic of transformation. Killing in a dream is never to be taken literally! Given in the dream the snake was killed then the dreamer reached a level in ego consciousness of transforming this snake.

As the sunshine streams through the treetops, you walk along the trails, enjoying the smells of the plants and the sounds of the birds in the air. As you approach a log blocking the trail, you notice something strange at the base of it. It looks almost like a snake …but not quite. What could it be? As you inch closer, you realize that it's a long piece of snake skin!After you canvas the area to make sure there are no real snakes nearby, you pick up the snake skin and examine it more closely. You can see the impressions of the scales and the designs they make. You start to WONDER…why do snakes shed their skin? The simple answer is that snakes shed their skin because they are just like all other animals. All animals shed their skin — even you!"

"text": "Controlling Humidity in a Snake Cage© 2017, Reptile Knowledge.com | All rights reserved | Please see our linking and sharing guide In this lesson, I’ll offer some tips for increasing the humidity in a snake cage, to ensure proper health for your pet snake. The first thing you need to realize is that different snakes have different humidity requirements. Thus, their cages need to be set up differently. Consider, for example, the difference between an Amazon tree boa and the kingsnakes of the American southwest. The tree boa comes from places in South American with high annual rainfall. As a result, a snake cage housing this species would need to be pretty humid inside. But the desert snakes of the American southwest can get by with much less humidity. Put a tree boa into a lower-humidity environment designed for kingsnakes, and you’ll have a problem … and vice versa. So the first thing you need to do is figure out how much humidity your snake cage needs, based on the species you are keeping. I cannot list all of those humidity ranges in this article, so you’ll need to research this on your own time."

Description Eastern Milk Snake L. triangulum triangulum Jalisco Milk Snake L. triangulum arcifera Stuart's Milk Snake L. triangulum stuarti Tangerine Honduran L. triangulum hondurensis There are 25 different sub-species of Milk snake, so these figures may vary a little depending on the type of Milk Snake you have, but in general.... Colouring: Milk snakes have beautiful tri-banded colourings of either red, black and yellow or white, black and red. They seem to have evolved to mimic the colourings of the deadly Coral snake, which many believe is as a defensive measure to scare off predators. This is the reason behind the common saying associated with Milk snakes that helps you distinguish between the two types of snake - \"\"Red on yellow, kill a fellow. Red on black, venom lack. \"\" Size: Up to 6 ft in Length. Females tend to grow larger than Males."

On one level, the differences relate to sexuality. We see the snake enticing Eve in the Garden of Eden, being symbolized as Vinata the Indian goddess, or shown as the legs of Cernunnos the Celtic fertility god.

Some refer to them as garden snakes, because they are often found in gardens. The name \"\"garter\"\" was probably chosen because these snakes, like the fancy garters that once were used to hold up men's socks, have colorful, longitudinal stripes. The Lakota name is \"\"sinte wagleza.\"\" The length of garter snakes ranges from 20 to 30 inches (50-75 cm), although some may be longer. They have a slim, agile body. Their coloring can be many shades of green, yellowish, or gray, but they nearly always have three yellow or red longitudinal stripes that extend along the length of their back and sides. When alarmed, many flatten their bodies, making the pattern more prominent. There are 3 species of garter snakes that occur in South Dakota: Thamnophis radix haydeni is t he western subspecies of the plains garter snake; T. sirtalis parietalis is a subspecies of the common garter snake called the red-sided garter snake; and T. elegans vagrans is a subspecies of the western terrestrial garter snake called the wandering garter snake."

"text": "\"Care Sheet For Milk Snakes Milk Snakes include some of the most beautiful subspecies of any genus and they are easy to keep in captivity which explains why they are incredibly popular with reptile hobbyists. The genus of Milk Snakes contains an incredible variety snakes that have a large range of sizes and habitats. Milk Snakes come from grasslands, farmlands, pine and deciduous forests and generally reach adult sizes all the way from 2 to 5 feet. For these reasons, it is difficult to provide a single care sheet for all species and subspecies of Milk Snakes, but below is a basic outline of how to keep your Milk Snake happy and healthy. At Big Apple Pet Supply, we carry only Captive Bred Milk Snakes to maintain strict quality control. Housing Baby and juvenile Milk Snakes can be set up in an enclosure as small as a 10 gallon (20\"\" x 10\"\" x 12\"\"H) but adults should be housed in a larger enclosure of 20 to 70 gallons (36\"\" x 18\"\" x 25\"\"H) depending on their full adult size to allow for additional room and a better design. For example, a subspecies that becomes a 4 foot adult should be housed in an enclosure at least 40 gallons in size. There is no such thing as a cage too big for a Milk Snake so larger is always much better than smaller. Since like most snakes, Milk Snakes are escape artists, a secure screen top is absolutely critical to keep your snake from escaping the enclosure. You should NEVER house more than one Milk Snake together as Milk Snakes sometimes are cannibalistic."

Please conduct further research if keeping other subspecies. Boa Constrictor ( Boa constrictor imperator)The Colombian boa constrictor is the most widely kept boa constrictor in the pet industry (there are nine accepted subspecies of Boa constrictor, and many localities of some subspecies). Other common names include the common boa and red-tailed boa, although the true red-tailed boa is Boa constrictor constrictor, which is larger and found in countries including Suriname, Guyana, Peru and Brazil. There may be B. c. constrictor in southeastern Colombia, but these are rarely seen in the reptile world. Colombian boas have become popular due to being docile and having more “personality,” in that they seem to be more curious about their surroundings than some other snakes. Colombian boa constrictors make great pets, and they are available in a vast array of appealing color and pattern morphs. Proper care can be provided even by beginner hobbyists, but due to their potentially large size and lengthy life span, boas are best suited for moderate- and advanced-level keepers. Boa Constrictor Availability Boa constrictors are readily available in the pet industry, and many breeders specialize in Colombian boa morphs. They have been bred in captivity for decades, and litters are born nearly all year."

"text": "\"Reproduction, diet, mating & shedding skin The copperhead snake got its name because of the copper-like coloration on the dorsal side of its head. The copperhead snake is brown and has alternating cross bands that are light and brownish in different variations. The size of an adult copperhead is 20 to 40 inches (51-102 cm). The copperhead snake belongs to the viper family. Myths About the Copperhead Snake There are some myths about copperhead snakes. One is that black snakes can interbreed with copperheads to make a venomous black snake—the black snake is probably a rat snake. Another one is that it smells like cucumber—which is generally not true, as they only secrete an odor resembling cucumber when they feel threatened, such as when intruders pass by. The funniest myth about the copperhead snake is that juvenile copperhead snakes are more venomous than adults. Also, copperhead snakes do not hunt in pairs as sometimes is told. Diet Both juvenile and adult copperheads feed on a diet of rodents, other reptiles, and amphibians."

No, not all snakes are venomous. Queensland is home to about 120 species of snakes. About 65% of these are venomous. Venom production is a characteristic of two groups of snakes; the front-fanged snakes (elapids) and some of the rear-fanged snakes (colubrids). The elapids consist of 23 species of sea snakes and 51 species of land snakes, including some of the world's most venomous land snakes such as the taipan, brown snake and king brown snake (also known as mulga snake). Five species of colubrid snakes, including the brown tree snake, produce weak venom delivered through fangs at the back of the mouth. Venom delivery is poor and these snakes do not pose a threat to human life. Five other species of colubrid snakes, including the common tree snake, do not have fangs or venom. Ten species of pythons occurring in Queensland completely lack venom and fangs."

"text": "PHOTO: Imagine Freedom/Flickrby Karen Lanier March 20, 2017Snakes are well known for their population-control contributions to gardens and farms, hunting everything from midges to moles. Beyond that essential ecosystem service, snakes amaze me as elegant minimalists. Their entire body’s design is streamlined and purposeful—nothing in excess. Internally, the snake’s heart contains one single chamber, and the lung has only one lobe. It also smells with its tongue, gathering particles from the air and soil to taste with the Jacobson’s organ inside the roof of its mouth. The snake’s flexible ribs act like tiny arms and legs working from within the skin, without the risk of losing a limb to a predator—that’s what sets them apart from other reptiles and their amphibian ancestors. An animal that can climb without legs is impressive. Specialized belly scales team up with muscular propulsion and undulation movements to go up trees, rock fences, cliff ledges and barn walls. Because most North American snakes usually live closer to the ground than up in trees, they have evolved a way to hear without ears. Those pesky orifices would get clogged with dirt, and eardrums aren’t suited for changes in pressure that a life underground includes."

Those species that produce live young are usually found in cooler climates or at higher altitudes. Unlike tortoises, turtles, alligators and crocodiles, whose gender is determined in large part by the incubation temperature, the gender of a snake is determined by its genes, as it is in the case of birds and mammals. Snakes that lay eggs do not typically build or dig nests, in the manner of many other reptiles. The King Cobra is an exception. Snakes in their natural environments select a nest site, which has an appropriate temperature and humidity range, as well as the correct substrate. If specific environmental needs are not met, the eggs will not hatch. Some species select a crevice in which to lay. Grass snakes choose to lay their eggs in decaying vegetation, which produces heat as it decomposes. Of the species commonly kept as pets, only a few species of pythons actively brood their eggs."

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

The fascination is most often caused by fear of these animals, which are legendarily perceived to be aggressive and deadly. Although their threat to humans is grossly exaggerated, these snakes are fascinating for another compelling reason: rattlesnakes are among the most highly specialized organisms on the planet. Western diamondback Their venom�in fact a toxic saliva�is among the most complex substances known: a mixture of enzymes unique to pit vipers that destroys blood or paralyzes nerves. And the delivery system is equally amazing�the snakes� fangs are movable hypodermic syringes. Rattlesnakes are also among the few animal groups with dual visual systems. In addition to their eyes, they have sensory organs in their upper jaws which can actually �see�infrared images. They can detect the heat from a candle flame 30 feet (9 m) away. These animals merit admiration more than fear. While other areas have larger rattlesnakes, the Sonoran Desert region is blessed (no, that isn�t a misprint) with more species of rattlesnakes than is any other region in the world�and many of them will bite large beasts like us if we are perceived to be a threat."

From football to baseball and everything in between, your number will typically refer to your position, skill, or even longevity on the squad. But, soccer tends to take it just a bit further -- number ten, king of the pitch. Often enough, the number 10 will be traditionally reserved for the most important player on the field, as he typically acts as the facilitator and engine of the team. Simply put, this player controls the pace of the game and his teammates follow suit. At beginning of kit introductions in soccer, numbering was relatively basic: the keeper wore number 1, the defensive four made up numbers 2-5, etc. The number 10, coincidentally, fell on the players positioned just behind the forward (s) as a central attacking midfielder. Players like Diego Maradona and Pelé wore 10 and the number soon took on a legacy of its own. However, it's important to remember that a number 10 in formation does not need to physically wear that number -- now, when people use the phrase, it's a classification, not a tangible item."

Another contingent of fans thinks Klinsmann should keep his job because of all the good he's done for American soccer. They're both right. U. S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati spent five years courting Klinsmann and finally got his man in 2011 by giving Klinsmann full control of the program and the shiny job title he always coveted: head coach and technical director. In addition to Klinsmann's duties as senior team manager -- a full time job by itself -- the buck stops with him in all matters of youth development. He doesn't just have a say in the operation of the Under-20 and Under-17 national teams, he also created a new Under-23 national team and influences how the Development Academy system works. It's a huge task, and it's way too big for one person. The half of his job that Klinsmann is less suited for is clearly the management of the senior national side. He said that winning the Gold Cup was his top priority this summer, then put together an unbalanced roster and spent the group stage experimenting with personnel.

As athletes we will perform anything from plyometrics to sprinting to increase our performance. One question that has been debated for some time is whether the type of stretching we chose to perform at the start of our training session will have an affect on our performance and injury levels. Static stretching Many trainers advocate the use of static stretching prior to exercise. Static stretching has been used throughout the years for two main reasons: injury prevention and performance enhancement [1]. Static stretching involves gradually easing into the stretch position and holding the position. The amount of time a static stretch is held may be anything from 6 seconds to 2 minutes. Often in static stretching you are advised to move further into the stretch position as the stretch sensation subsides. Does static stretching prior to activity achieve the goals of injury prevention and performance enhancement? Research has shown that static stretching can be detrimental to performance and does not necessarily lead to decreases in injury. The following are a few studies conducted on the topic of static stretching."

On a smooth, dry, well-maintained pitch, soccer has a graceful quality - even in the middle of a hard-fought game. But when the field goes bad, the whole game goes bad. Bad ball response disrupts players' efforts to execute passes, the game slows to a crawl as mis-kicked balls constantly fly over the touch lines, and the score may depend on who can stay upright most successfully. Good turf doesn't just happen. It takes careful planning and hard work. Here are some ideas for making soccer field maintenance and management easier. First of all, it's important to remember that a really effective field management program takes careful, regular inspection of the fields.

With the car stopped at a red light, he glances at his coach’s practice notes and eats a spoonful of Greek yogurt — just a few berries on top because he’s focusing on his fitness. When the car finally pulls up to the soccer field, he grabs his gear from the trunk and hurries to join the rest of the team. Before he can get 10 steps from the car, he hears someone shout his name. John hastily turns around and jogs back to the car, where he gives his mom a kiss before she reminds him to ask coach for an excusal note for the upcoming tournament to give to his fifth-grade teacher. That scene may sound extreme, but it’s becoming far too common for children’s dreams of being professional athletes to become a reality before they even reach their teens. Kids are beginning to specialize in one sport with the end goal of earning a college scholarship and hopefully playing professionally. The year-round focus on a single sport forces kids to drop any other athletic pursuits they may enjoy in order to master their “main sport.”"

Just about every article written about the problems with youth development in the US will take about the barriers for many due to the high costs. When you participate in an activity that involves travel – the costs will tend to be high. Yet the ‘high-cost’ perspective in the media seems limited mostly to youth soccer, even though competitive baseball and basketball teams have been around for a long time, most affiliated with the Amateur Athletic Union . So is soccer really as drastically expensive as the media would have you believe? Are high costs keeping a number of children out of youth soccer programs? Competitive Soccer Costs First, we’re going to focus on the competitive travel team aÂspect, since at the Recreational level, in most areas, soccer is similar to municipal baseball and basketball programs, played on municipal facilities, using municipal equipment, or they are run through organizations like the YMCA, AYSO, local churches, etc. Even when Rec programs are run by non-profit soccer leagues, the costs are very low. You pay anywhere from $10-$75 for an entire season of activity (usually 3 months). Even when the cost is at the higher end, that usually involves the cost of a uniform to play in, etc."

"text": "Choosing a Soccer Team Captain What is meant by the term ‘a natural leader?’ Do we mean a player who shows the way by example? Is it a person who inspires the other players through his communication and team talks? Or perhaps a much needed authority on the field, someone who is available to all other players when needed, a general…? This list is endless. All the traits and characteristics above are to be found in a good soccer team captain. He should have just as much influence over his team off the pitch as he does on it. The fundamental role of a soccer team captain is acting as a link between the manager or coach of the team and the players. He should have the ability to assist with communication, encourage an enthusiastic attitude amongst the players and promote a good team spirit. A good soccer captain must also be able to bear responsibility for his players’ actions whilst on the field and make strategic changes as and when he deems it necessary during a match."

In other words, it’s an exercise that allows muscles to exert maximum force in the shortest amount of time possible. Several types of athletes such as basketball players, boxers, and especially soccer players use plyometrics. But don’t confuse power with strength. The rate at which strength is converted into speed is what determines muscular power. Being able to carry out this task in a short amount of time is the key factor here, not your physical strength. Sound contradictory? It’s not, really. Put in another way, a bodybuilder with strong legs might easily perform squats with heavy weights but might not jump as far on a standing long jump as a soccer player who has plyometric training. The reason for this is that the soccer player’s plyometric training has allowed him to condense the time his muscles need to apply the maximum amount of force required to get the job done."

Granted, it is probably also the only article about drafting kickers and punters that you will read this year. And it may be the only article about drafting kickers and punters that you will ever read. Kickers and punters are prospects, too. The next Justin Tucker, Stephen Gostkowski, Andy Lee or Jon Ryan—a specialist who makes multiple Pro Bowls or helps decide a Super Bowl—could be lurking in this year's draft class. You would never know it, because draft coverage for specialists is sparse, incomplete or flat-out inaccurate. It's not just that specialists aren't as interesting as position players; a kicker is more interesting than the typical lineman, particularly in a tie game late in the fourth quarter. It's not just that specialists are rarely drafted nowadays; in the world of seven-round mock drafts (updated daily), a handful of specialists should garner at least a little attention, even if only three to five kickers and punters are selected toward the end of a typical draft. We don't talk about top kicking and punting prospects because we have no idea who they are. And it's rarely worth our time and energy to find out."

Computer software engineers apply the principles and techniques of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software and the systems that enable computers to perform their many applications. Software engineers are involved in the design and development of many types of software, including software for operating systems and network distribution, and software for compilers (which convert programs for execution on a computer). In programming, or coding, software engineers instruct a computer, line by line, how to perform a desired function. Software engineers must possess strong programming skills, but are often more concerned with developing algorithms and analyzing and solving programming problems than with actually writing code. Typically software engineers, working in applications or systems development, analyze first the needs of the user. They then design, construct, test, and maintain computer applications software or systems to meet these needs. Computer Applications Software Engineers Computer applications software engineers analyze user needs and design, construct, and maintain general computer applications software or specialized utility programs.

Answer1: Retesting is usually equated with regression testing (see above) but it is different in that is follows a specific fix--such as a bug fix--and is very narrow in focus (as opposed to testing entire application again in a regression test). A product should never be released after any change has been applied to the code, with only retesting of the bug fix, and without a regression test. Answer2: 1. Re-testing is the testing for a specific bug after it has been fixed. ( one given by your definition). 2. Re-testing can be one which is done for a bug which was raised by QA but could not be found or confirmed by Development and has been rejected. So QA does a re-test to make sure the bug still exists and again assigns it back to them."

Flag How many years of school do you need to become a software engineer? Answer by Joe Ragusa Confidence votes 98.6KTypically, the minimum educational requirement for the professional degree in engineering, is a bachelor's degree. A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long."

"text": "Computer engineering and computer science have a lot of overlapping characteristics, but the major difference is found in how the obtained skills are used. While computer engineering focuses more on hardware and electronics, computer science focuses on computer programming and software design. Both areas involve the study of advanced mathematics, physics and programming, but computer engineers are more likely to use those skills to build hardware than to build programs. Computer scientists, therefore, use their knowledge to understand how programs and operating systems work and how to create better software solutions for hardware. Students in computer engineering and computer science degree programs take several courses that overlap between the programs. Both programs usually require multiple calculus, linear algebra, physics, computer architecture, networking and programming classes. The major difference is that computer science students take many more classes in software design, data algorithms and operating systems than computer engineering students do. Computer engineering students take several courses in electronics, artificial intelligence, digital logic circuits and digital hardware, and they tend to study more physical concepts. Both computer engineering and computer science students usually end their studies by completing a major project that demonstrates their learned skills. Ad Computer engineering involves a much more physical approach than computer science does."

Overview What affects software productivity and how do we improve it? This is a concern near and dear to those who are responsible for researching and developing large software systems. For example, Boehm [10] reports that by 1995, a 20% improvement in software productivity will be worth $45 billion in the U. S and $90 billion worldwide."

Anthony Finkelstein wrote a great post about the benefits of being a software engineer: you can call yourself an engineer without getting your hands dirty, and you can wear jeans and a T-shirt to work (if you feel like being smart). All good points, but it got us thinking, whilst it may be good to be a software engineer, it's even better to be a research software engineer. And here's why. ( And if you're interested in this post, you should attend our workshop for research software engineers on 11 September in Oxford.)1. Right at the cutting edge of science You can read books and watch documentaries about research, but that's old news. If you really want to know what's going on, you have to work with the researchers themselves. Research software engineers work right at the frontiers of science: they are the people who researchers work with in order to turn theories into results. And unlike researchers, Research Software Engineers don't have to pay for this privilege by writing papers.2. Travel the world Fancy a trip to Singapore, Rio, Hawaii, LA, Hong Kong, or Shanghai?"

Well, most agile teams do not define such a role explicitly and work in a democratic mode. Every important technical decision is discussed with the entire team, and the most voted for solution wins. When such a team eventually decides to put a \"\"software architect\"\" badge on someone's t-shirt, the most reputable programmer gets it. Jackie Brown (1997) by Quentin Tarantino The badge rarely changes his responsibilities, though. After all, the team stays the same and enjoys having technical discussions together, involving everyone.

This is undoubtedly the question we`re asked the most, and unfortunately it has no straightforward answer. We decided to pull together all aspects of this question, and write the best resource on the costs of solar panels you will find on the entire Internet. Residential solar systems are typically sized from 3 to 8k W and end up costing between $15,000 and $40,000. The cost per watt (price inclusive of parts, labor, permitting fees, overhead, and profit) has decreased significantly over the last decade and is now between 6 and 8 ($/W) in many parts of the U. S. Generally, the bigger the system, the lower the cost per watt. The total costs are split into system, installation and operational costs, roughly in the following ratios: Contents Case Study System Costs Installation Costs Operational Costs Incentives Solar for $0 Down The goal of this article is to give you an idea of how much a solar panel system will end up costing in your particular situation.

Solar is a great idea for many people, not only to cut their utility bills but also to reduce their energy dependence and clean up their ecological footprint. Whether you care about the environment or energy independence, though, the cost of solar is one major element in the decision to go solar that matters to essentially everyone. I can very easily answer the question “How much do solar panels cost?” ( see below), but I think the real question you’re asking is, “How much will it cost to put solar panels on my roof?” That’s a more complicated question to answer, but I’ll explain the nuances in more detail and provide some useful perspective on that in the article below.

"text": "Cost Of Solar To add some much needed transparency to the industry, the cost of solar power will be completely explained here. The typical solar installer does not make the price of solar easy to find online. This is unfortunate, as more homeowners would go solar if they knew how much they could save over the long term. The average homeowner would save at least $25,000 over 25 years by investing in a solar panel system. So what is the current low-end cost of residential solar power? As of 2017, it’s approximately $3.00 per watt, installed. The average sized solar panel system is 5,000 watts, so this brings the total cost to $15,000. That 15k figure is just an average amount. Systems can cost more or less mostly depending upon a homeowner’s energy usage. Here is summarized solar cost information found on this page (4 different ways to measure the cost) –Pre Tax Incentive Cost As low as $3.00 per watt."

"text": "\"84Hidden cost of rooftop solar: Who should pay for maintenance? By Craig Blanch on 26 August 2013In the ongoing debate over whether Feed-In Tariff’s (FIT) are justified for residential solar PV one issue seems to be overlooked completely. And this is, who is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of these household solar systems? Since electricity has been supplied to the home, there has been a basic rule and understanding that if you had any problems with your electricity supply you would phone your County Council or electricity retailer/distributor and they would deal with any issues throughout the network up to your meter box. Any issues from your meter box into your home were your responsibility and you needed to get an electrician out to fix it. This still stands today, but what happens if you have a rooftop solar PV system? The rooftop solar PV system is purchased by the home owner, and installed on the purchaser’s property and becomes part of the owner’s property. As almost everyone knows, under net metering the home owner receives the initial benefit of the electricity generated, and the excess is fed into the National Electricity Network (NEM) to the benefit of the electricity distributor to provide to other customers. Under gross metering the entire amount of electricity generated is provided to the NEM. Therefore, is there an argument that your privately purchased, and installed, rooftop solar PV system is, in fact, part of the national infrastructure to generate and distribute electricity to the market?"

Maintenance costs of solar power are also ameliorated by the many cost-savings. What Are the Costs Associated with Solar Maintenance? Standard solar maintenance costs include the costs of operation, upkeep and repair of your home solar power system. This may include replacing parts and accessories, like inverters and batteries. Low Cost Solar Panel System Maintenance Basic recommended maintenance for solar panel systems include light inexpensive activities like keeping the array clean and free of debris. This actually takes more time than money, and even then not a lot. The U. S. Department of Energy recommends planning for 8-16 hours per year spent on solar system maintenance. It doesn't involve much more than washing the panels a few times each year to prevent dirt and dust buildup which could, if left untended, impair their energy efficiency. In particularly dusty regions that don't get much rainfall, dirt and dust accumulation can reduce solar energy production by 5% or more per day."

These days, solar panels are priced anywhere from under a hundred dollars to upwards of five hundred dollars each ; depending on various factors. It’s very important when selecting the best solar panels to use for your solar power system installation to bear in mind a few crucial factors aside from the price tag. After all, your purchase decision is one you’ll be living with for a very long time and it should provide you with a good return on your investment. Don’t base a buying decision on solar panel cost alone – the following are a few tips for choosing the best modules for your installation situation. How much do solar panels cost? This depends on a number of factors – but generally speaking, in relation to modules suitable for use on a home and as part of a grid connect system installation; they cost a few hundred dollars each with subsidies taken into consideration. The cost of a solar panel is determined in part by its capacity (in Watts), the physical size, the brand, quality of materials, the durability / longevity (or warranty period) and any certifications the solar panel might have. The price you’ll pay will also depend on the number of panels as part of a package if you’re buying a full system. The more modules in the system, the less cost per unit (generally speaking)."

"text": "\"How Much Does it Cost to Install Solar on an Average US House? April 25, 2016 By John Kinnear 52 Comments We often get asked how much it would cost to install enough photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on a house or business building to generate one’s own electrical energy. There are web sites to help with this, and Solar Power Authority even has a free solar calculator and quote tool, but they can be confusing unless you’re a technologist — so I’ve developed some simple guidelines (below) that will help put cost in perspective. In the USA, a rule of thumb is that the average house consumes electricity at the rate of 1 k W per hour (k Wh). There are about 730 hours in each month, and the average price of a k Wh of electricity is $0.10. So an average monthly bill would be around $73 for 730 k Wh of electricity. Of course, this can vary considerably if you have non-standard items such as a hot-tub, or some electrical appliances running continuously. Extended computer use, plasma screen TVs and video games consoles can also make an impact. Your usage will increase significantly in months when you run an air conditioning unit, as well. Finally, the cost of electricity varies widely across the USA, from as low as $0.07/k Wh in West Virginia to as much as $0.24/k Wh in Hawaii."

That's a pretty crushing thing to hear if you've just hired an electrician to install a fancy new solar system, in the belief that you're doing the right thing for the environment. But is it true? We decided to look into it, and hopefully resolve the debate once and for all. So here's the claim: As you know, making solar panels requires energy. There's the direct use of energy to manufacture and transport the panels and their components. Furthermore, you have to think about the energy debt involved in acquiring raw materials and converting them into the parts used to make solar panels. That can add up fast, and a lot of solar plants are using fuels like coal to generate the energy they need for activities like melting silicon.

With the recent explosion in the solar marketplace around the world, solar prices have gotten so cheap, so quickly that reality is struggling to catch up with perception. The basics of solar panel cost The cost of a solar panel system is greatly dependent on how much energy it can produce. The energy output of each solar panel is measured in watts, and a typical panel can produce 265 watts under conditions of direct sunlight. A typical solar system for a home is made up of enough panels to produce 5,000 watts (shortened to “5 kilowatts”). That’s about equal to nineteen of those 265-watt panels."

"text": "How much does it cost to install solar panels in Ontario (home / residential) ? 13Jun If you’ve been considering solar for your home or business, we’re pretty sure you’ve also been thinking about how much it’s going to cost you. We’ll try and narrow the basics down as much as possible here so you have a fair idea of the costs involved. Cost of installing solar panels on a roof in Ontario First of all, the question is a little tricky because it depends on a number of factors, namely –How many panels you can fit on your best roof faces The type of panels you choose The type of inverters used Before we go too far talking about installation costs, it is important to note that the price of solar panels fluctuates in the Ontario market so we suggest you contact a reputable solar installation company and have them quote you based on your particular installation. Even so, let’s look at some numbers so you have more information than just the fact that it “depends on a couple of factors”. At today’s pricing, a solar system would typically cost you anywhere from $20,000 – $40,000 in Ontario depending on the size of the system ( 40k for a 10 k W system and 20K for a 4.5 k W system ). We understand that the cost may seem a little bit high but here’s the good news – depending on the size of your solar system, a homeowner can expect to earn a 10% or greater return on their investment under Ontario’s Solar incentive program. Your actual return will depend on the pitch of your roof (s), how your roof (s) face in relation to due south and if there are any shade factors to consider (shadows are a solar panels worst enemy). Where else in today’s economy can you expect to earn 10% or better return on your money!Enjoy a great return on investment with Solar in Ontario So let’s say you have enough space on your roof (s) to install a 10 k W solar system (Ontario’s Micro FIT program allows for a system the size of 10k W or less). In this case you would be looking at an investment of $ 40,000 plus tax (don’t worry about the tax as you can apply to receive all of this back)."

Share: A power play By Chris Doyle, Chris Barnes Last updated: 1st February 2016Tesla's Powerwall has reached Australian shores, with the first installations of the highly anticipated battery storage unit already underway. The Powerwall, a home battery system designed to store electricity generated from rooftop solar panels, has attracted a cult-like following in recent months after the announcement that Australia would be one of the first countries to have access to it. While the concept of a home battery storage system isn't exactly new – they've been available for some time – Powerwall is considered by many to be a game-changer for the electricity industry. With a sleek contemporary design and a price that's perceived to be more affordable than its competitors, it's widely believed the Powerwall will pave the way for battery storage systems to become a common household feature. How does it work? The Powerwall is a wall-mounted, 7k Wh lithium-ion battery storage system that comes with a 10 year warranty. The battery has a daily cycle, meaning it's designed to charge and discharge each day. The efficiency of the battery is 92%, so although it has a 7k Wh capacity, the Powerwall's working capacity is more like 6.4k Wh. Tesla also has a 10k Wh weekly cycle version intended for back-up applications, but it's the 7k Wh version you'll see in most home installations."

Exploring solar (aka photovoltaic, or PV) technology can be intimidating and confusing if you don't start with the basics. We will begin by taking you through the process step-by-step. By the end of this article, you will have better knowledge if solar is an appropriate technology for your home, and if not, we have a few really easy and relatively inexpensive ways you can bring solar power to your home without installing a full scale solar system. Design Engineers Step I: Do you have enough sun? This is the key question. Because if you don't have enough sun, you can't generate solar electricity. We have sun almost every day of the year. But some properties are shaded by trees, so there isn't enough sunny area, for solar panels. For solar panels to work, the entire panel must be in the sun."

"text": "\"General questions What are the benefits of a solid fuel stove over a traditional open fireplace? Most solid fuel stoves are approximately 40-50% more efficient than an open fire and allow the user to have control over the rate of burn and heat output to the room. Often a large percentage of the heat generated by central heating is lost from a room where an open fire is present (even when not in use). The installation of a stove will mean that the room is much warmer as the air flow is greatly reduced due to the installation of a register plate and the ability to close the air controls fitted on the appliance. Will I need my chimney lining? When a chimney was designed originally for an open fire it was typical for a fire to burn 12k W of fuel per hour and give nominally 2k W into the room. When a stove is fitted, for every 2k W it gives into the room there is less than 1k W of heat going up the chimney. Thus there is insufficient heating of the clay or stone masonry if a stove is fitted without a lining. In this situation it is typical to have tar condensation and an incorrect draught for the stove to work correctly and efficiently. A chimney lining will also prevent smoke and fumes from your fire from leaking into other rooms of the house."

There’s not many technical articles about spark plug wires, and for years we’ve been relegated to finding whatever information that was out there in the form of advertisements from manufacturers or on the back of the spark plug wire box. We’re going to suppress the interference and get down to the truth about plug wires: whether you’re picking a set of wires for your daily driver, pimped out ghetto cruiser or balls-out race car, you’ll want to get the right info… and you’ve found the right place. Spark Plug Wire 101: A spark plug wire is an electrical conductor. Period. It’s job is to act as a conductor of moveable electricity or more specifically, a moveable electrical charge. Plug wires are unique in the aspect that they don’t have any mechanical moving parts, but can breakdown or interfere with nearby delicate electronic components in the engine bay. The demands on plug wires today are greater than they have ever been before. Higher voltage current, higher temperatures under the hood and technically advanced ignition systems have created an atmosphere where selecting the right plug wire can optimize engine performance or degrade the engine’s output."

"text": "\"Material Choices Consumer Info Window and Door Framing The most common framing materials used for windows and patio doors are wood, vinyl, and aluminum. More recent introductions to the market include fiberglass and a number of composites. Manufacturers also combine materials commonly, producing vinyl- or aluminum-clad wood products, wood-clad vinyl products and other combinations to meet a variety of demands for performance and aesthetics. Vinyl is the most commonly used framing material, because it offers good thermal performance and requires little maintenance. It can be used to produced very cost-effective products, but vinyl windows can also be provided in a choice of interior finishes, including woodgrains and colors. Most vinyl products incorporate rigid vinyl with multi-chamber profiles for strength and insulation. Frame and sash corners in these vinyl windows are generally welded, creating a joint that is generally more resistant to air and water infiltration than corners that are mechanically fastened with screws.

"text": "\"The 12 Common Archetypes By Carl Golden The term \"\"archetype\"\" has its origins in ancient Greek. The root words are archein, which means \"\"original or old\"\"; and typos, which means \"\"pattern, model or type\"\". The combined meaning is an \"\"original pattern\"\" of which all other similar persons, objects, or concepts are derived, copied, modeled, or emulated. The psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung, used the concept of archetype in his theory of the human psyche. He believed that universal, mythic characters—archetypes—reside within the collective unconscious of people the world over. Archetypes represent fundamental human motifs of our experience as we evolved; consequentially, they evoke deep emotions. Although there are many different archetypes, Jung defined twelve primary types that symbolize basic human motivations. Each type has its own set of values, meanings and personality traits. Also, the twelve types are divided into three sets of four, namely Ego, Soul and Self. The types in each set share a common driving source, for example types within the Ego set are driven to fulfill ego-defined agendas."

"text": "Description CROSS RELATED APPLICATIONThis application claims the benefit of U. S. Provisional Application No. 06/112,886 filed Dec. 18, 1998 under 35 U. S. C. 119 (e). FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to an improvement in the field of thrust reversing systems for fan gas turbine engines for aircraft and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to an improved cascade type thrust reverser system for controlling fan air from a fan gas turbine jet engine for an aircraft, said engine having a core cowl that is provided with bleed ports positioned aft of a fixed fan cowl structure. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONIt is well known in the field of aircraft gas turbine engine propulsion systems to provide a thrust reversing system to slow the aircraft down when it has contacted the landing field and the brakes have been applied to the wheels of the aircraft. These thrust reversing systems are deployable to reverse the fan air of a by-pass fan type aircraft gas turbine jet engine and in some instances to reverse the combined flow of the fan air and main thrust gases issuing from the nozzle of the core engine. Generally speaking, a target type thrust reverser system is used for smaller aircraft gas turbine jet engines, a pivoting door thrust reverser system is used for larger aircraft gas turbine jet engines and a cascade type thrust reverser system is used for the largest high by-pass fan aircraft gas turbine jet engines. Each thrust reversing system has its advantages and limitations for the particular size of aircraft gas turbine engine with which it is used. An early example of a translating sleeve thrust reverser system, which was the forerunner of the cascade type thrust reverser system, is seen in U. S. Pat. No. 3,036,431 which shows a translating sleeve which forms the fan duct being translated aft by translating actuator means."

The single light French Doors at the basement patio are both sagging, resulting in a torn weatherstrip on the active door and a significant gap between the doors near the center bottom. The doors are sagging because each door weighs 65 lbs and is a too heavy for the standard grade residential door hinges. The patio doors are made of metal skins folded over an outer wood frame with a foam core. When I removed the door to replace the hinges and weatherstrip, I discovered the door bottom wood frame had dry rotted and was nearly gone!Sagging Patio Doors Door Repair Jig In anticipation of replacing the hinges on both doors, I made a jig out of scrap 2×4 lumber and 3 inch wood screws to hold the doors. French doors are expensive and I didn’t want to take a chance on breaking the glass panes. Door Jigs and Wedges My doors are 1-3/4 inches thick. Therefore the vertical 2×4 blocks are spaced 2-1/4 inches apart to form a slot about 6 inches deep to hold the door. Wedges are used to take up the slack."

Door in Georgia The doors of The National Archives Building in Washington, D. C. A door is a moving mechanism used to block off and allow access to, an entrance to or within an enclosed space, such as a building, room or vehicle. Doors normally consist of one or two solid panels, with or without windows, that swing using hinges horizontally. These hinges are attached to the door's edge but there are also doors that slide, fold or spin. The main purpose of a door is to control physical access. Doors are significant in preventing the spread of fire and as a barrier to noise. Many doors are equipped with locking mechanisms to allow entrance to certain people and keep out others. When opened, doors can allow people, animals, ventilation or light to pass through."

Plate tectonics says that the Earth's strong outer layer (called the lithosphere, which consists of crust and uppermost mantle) is broken into a mosaic of plates that slowly move over a mechanically weaker layer (the asthenosphere, which is part of the upper mantle). Where these plates interact, major geological processes take place, such as the formation of mountain belts, earthquakes, and volcanoes.

"text": "\"Updated: November 2017Repairing or Replacing Your Exterior Doors Doors and windows are kind of strange creatures -- intentional holes you cut into your walls. So walls that are meant to keep out the wind, rain, and cold need to be protected with good quality windows and doors. Exterior doors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with front door tending to be the most exotic with various windows and panels around them to give the entryway a little more character. Most other exterior doors (apart from sliding glass) tend to be a little more straightforward. Exterior doors are normally made from 3 alternative materials - wood, metal (often steel), or fiberglass (or some similar composite, manmade material). A few decades ago, you would have found mostly wooden doors on home exteriors. Wooden doors have their own good and bad points -- they have a nice solid feel and of course natural wood grain, but they also can eventually rot, crack, and warp since they are just wood. If your wooden doors are protected by covered entryways or roof overhangs, your door and surrounding trim might stand up well for 20 years, with proper paint and maintenance. But for more exposed doors subject to water, cold and heat, direct sunlight, etc. over time you will get more signs of damage, and eventually you will need to replace your doors with new ones."

"text": "Intersections, roundabouts, lanes and traffic lights rules This article covers intersections, roundabouts, lane use and traffic light rules in New South Wales, including where road traffic intersects with other traffic like pedestrians, cyclists and trams/light rail. Intersections Intersections will be controlled by traffic lights or give way and stop signs, or they could be uncontrolled with no lights or signs. When there’s a STOP sign it is compulsory to stop even if you think you can see the way is clear. If it’s a GIVE WAY sign, then you must be prepared to stop if there’s other traffic coming. You must always use your indicator to let other road users know what you are doing including when turning, overtaking or changing lanes. Even if you don’t think you see another vehicle, there might be a bike or pedestrian that you haven’t seen. Instructions from a police officer override signs and lights at an intersection. If there is a traffic controller in the intersection you must obey what they tell you. As you approach an intersection you should check for traffic on your left and right at all times. If it’s a crossroads, look for traffic coming towards you that might turn right in front of you."

Car Coach Reports Subscribe 18KAdd to Share More24,474 views5514Published on Jan 17, 2013There is a lot of information available on the roadways, directing the flow of traffic and interacting with drivers. Pavement markings help you just like road signs and traffic signals. They are used to warn and direct drivers and to regulate traffic. It's actually quite simple to interpret roadway markings. There are two colors involved and drivers must understand the difference between what the colors mean just as much as the difference between broken lines and solid lines and their meanings. YELLOW LINES mark the center of a two-way road used for two-way traffic. You may pass on a two-way road if the yellow centerline is broken. When a solid and a broken yellow line are together, you must not pass if you are driving next to the solid line. Two solid yellow lines mean no passing."

What Does a Soft Shoulder Sign Mean? What Does a Dotted Yellow Line on the Side of the Road Mean? Full Answer Road markings are used to direct drivers regarding lane usage, road conditions and passing safety. Double solid white lines divide two lanes of one-way traffic and prohibit lane changes. A broken white line divides lanes of one-way traffic and permits lane changes. Double solid yellow lines indicate that traffic is traveling in both directions, and passing is not permitted on either side of the center line."

Option:02 Center line pavement markings may be placed at a location that is not the geometric center of the roadway.03 On roadways without continuous center line pavement markings, short sections may be marked with center line pavement markings to control the position of traffic at specific locations, such as around curves, over hills, on approaches to grade crossings, at grade crossings, and at bridges. Standard:04 The center line markings on two-lane, two-way roadways shall be one of the following as shown in Figure 3B-1: Figure 3B-1 Examples of Two-Lane, Two-Way Marking Applications Two-direction passing zone markings consisting of a normal broken yellow line where crossing the center line markings for passing with care is permitted for traffic traveling in either direction;One-direction no-passing zone markings consisting of a double yellow line, one of which is a normal broken yellow line and the other is a normal solid yellow line, where crossing the center line markings for passing with care is permitted for the traffic traveling adjacent to the broken line, but is prohibited for traffic traveling adjacent to the solid line; or Two-direction no-passing zone markings consisting of two normal solid yellow lines where crossing the center line markings for passing is prohibited for traffic traveling in either direction.05 A single solid yellow line shall not be used as a center line marking on a two-way roadway.06 The center line markings on undivided two-way roadways with four or more lanes for moving motor vehicle traffic always available shall be the two-direction no-passing zone markings consisting of a solid double yellow line as shown in Figure 3B-2. Figure 3B-2 Examples of Four-or-More Lane, Two-Way Marking Applications Guidance:07 On two-way roadways with three through lanes for moving motor vehicle traffic, two lanes should be designated for traffic in one direction by using one- or two-direction no-passing zone markings as shown in Figure 3B-3. Figure 3B-3 Examples of Three-Lane, Two-Way Marking Applications Support:08 Sections 11-301 (c) and 11-311 (c) of the \"\"Uniform Vehicle Code (UVC)\"\" contain information regarding left turns across center line no-passing zone markings and paved medians, respectively. The UVC can be obtained from the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances at the address shown on Page i.

Center line markings shall also be placed on all paved two-way streets or highways that have three or more lanes for moving motor vehicle traffic. Guidance:10 Center line markings should be placed on paved urban arterials and collectors that have a traveled way of 20 feet or more in width and an ADT of 4,000 vehicles per day or greater. Center line markings should also be placed on all rural arterials and collectors that have a traveled way of 18 feet or more in width and an ADT of 3,000 vehicles per day or greater. Center line markings should also be placed on other traveled ways where an engineering study indicates such a need.11 Engineering judgment should be used in determining whether to place center line markings on traveled ways that are less than 16 feet wide because of the potential for traffic encroaching on the pavement edges, traffic being affected by parked vehicles, and traffic encroaching into the opposing traffic lane."

Though, whatever rules are – there’s a lot to be said for using common sense to stay safe and respectful of other users. Difference between legal requirements and advisory notes The Highway code reflects some legal requirements. At night your cycle MUST have white front and red rear lights [Law RVLR regs 13, 18 & 24)] This is a law. The Highway code also offers ‘advisory notices’ on how you should behave. You should keep both hands on the handlebars except when signalling or changing gear. The difference is that there is no legal requirement to keep both hands on handlebars – so it is OK to drink a bidon and eat a banana without risk of prosecution… It could be considered ‘best practise’ to keep hands on handlebars. Generally, rules and laws are there to promote a more harmonious and safer experience on the road. When people ignore road traffic laws it can be both frustrating and dangerous. But, whilst it’s important to be aware of all the legal issues around cycling – you can’t beat plain common sense."

Crosswalks in (clockwise, from top left) Boston, Edinburgh, Hong Kong, and San Francisco A pedestrian crossing ( British English) or crosswalk ( American English) is a place designated for pedestrians to cross a road. Crosswalks are designed to keep pedestrians together where they can be seen by motorists, and where they can cross most safely across the flow of vehicular traffic. Marked pedestrian crossings are often found at intersections, but may also be at other points on busy roads that would otherwise be too unsafe to cross without assistance due to vehicle numbers, speed or road widths. They are also commonly installed where large numbers of pedestrians are attempting to cross (such as in shopping areas) or where vulnerable road users (such as school children) regularly cross. Rules govern usage of the pedestrian crossings to ensure safety; for example, in some areas, the pedestrian must be more than halfway across the crosswalk before the driver proceeds. Signalised pedestrian crossings clearly separate when each type of traffic (pedestrians or road vehicles) can use the crossing. Unsignalised crossings generally assist pedestrians, and usually prioritise pedestrians, depending on the locality. What appear to be just pedestrian crossings can also be created largely as a traffic calming technique, especially when combined with other features like pedestrian priority, refuge islands, or raised surfaces."

When driving on open highways, you need to watch for slow-moving vehicles so you can keep clear of them. Early awareness of vehicles moving at substantially slower speeds than the flow of traffic can help one to avoid rear-end collisions or unsafe last-minute lane changes. Excessive lane changing or driving in slower lanes for prolonged periods of time can contribute to a last-minute encounter with a slow-moving vehicle. When driving on the freeway, follow these tips: Obey all timed signal entrance lights to assist with merging. Be aware of two freeway entrance lanes merging into one (double merge lanes). Carpool on-ramp lanes will be marked and should be observed for usage requirements. In addition, you need to consider the following:1.

Is it illegal to cross a double yellow centerline on a road when making a left turn into a private driveway? My agency is considering using internally-illuminated raised pavement markers (IIRPM) to supplement center line and lane line markings through a particularly severe horizontal curve to help road users navigate the curve. Is it allowable to flash those IIRPMs when approaching vehicles exceed a given speed threshold? Given the answer to the previous question, could my agency set up the IIRPMs to be normally \"\"off\"\" and only turn them on (in a steadily-illuminated mode) for a certain number of seconds when a vehicle is detected approaching the curve? Colored Pavement What are the approved uses for red-colored pavement? What are the approved uses of green-colored pavement? What are the approved uses of purple-colored pavement?

Since Voyager 1 blasted off in 1977, it has skirted past the kaleidoscopic clouds of Jupiter and the icy rings of Saturn. The spacecraft is now 124 times farther from the Sun than we are, and in the time it takes you to read this paragraph will venture outward 100 miles more. Its most recent observations raise questions about our solar system’s true reach.

By Nola Taylor Redd, Space.com Contributor | November 14, 2017 11:05am ETMOREAstronomers have long known that galaxies spin more quickly than can be explained by the laws of physics. After decades of investigation, they have determined that there must be an invisible material in the universe, called dark matter. In this video, Dr. Don Lincoln tells us of this elusive substance. Roughly 80 percent of the mass of the universe is made up of material that scientists cannot directly observe. Known as dark matter, this bizarre ingredient does not emit light or energy. So why do scientists think it dominates? Studies of other galaxies in the 1950s first indicated that the universe contained more matter than seen by the naked eye. Support for dark matter has grown, and although no solid direct evidence of dark matter has been detected, there have been strong possibilities in recent years. \"\" Motions of the stars tell you how much matter there is,\"\" Pieter van Dokkum, a researcher at Yale University, said in a statement. \"\""

The efforts of a very small clique of Pluto-haters within the International Astronomical Union (IAU) plutoed Pluto in 2006. Of the approximately 10,000 internationally registered members of the IAU in 2006, only 237 voted in favor of the resolution redefining Pluto as a “dwarf planet” while 157 voted against; the other 9,500 members were not present at the closing session of the IAU General Assembly in Prague at which the vote to demote Pluto was taken.

Article written: 3 Jul , 2017 Updated: 5 Jul , 2017 by Matt Williams The Universe is an extremely big place. As astronomers looked farther into space over the centuries, and deeper into the past, they came to understand just how small and insignificant our planet and our species seem by comparison. At the same time, ongoing investigations into electromagnetism and distant stars led scientists to deduce what the the speed of light is – and that it is the fastest speed obtainable. As such, astronomers have taken to using the the distance light travels within a single year (aka. a light year) to measure distances on the interstellar and intergalactic scale. But how far does light travel in a year? Basically, it moves at a speed of 299,792,458 meters per second ( 1080 million km/hour; 671 million mph), which works out to about 9,460.5 billion km (5,878.5 billion miles) per year.

"text": "Richard Harrison, who is the lead of space physics at a laboratory in Oxfordshire, England is worried because our Sun appears to be falling asleep and a mini ice age could be on the way for the Earth. He states that he has been a solar physicist for nearly three decades, and he has never saw the sun do anything quite like what it is doing now. The Sun is very inactive, so much so that one would have to go back around 100 years to compare the difference. Such a solar lull is totally baffling to other scientists as well because the Sun should be full of activity right now. It seems that the Sun’s activity might be dropping faster than at any time in the past 10,000 years. It had hit a solar maximum, the point in its 11-year cycle where activity is supposed to hit a peak. Therefore, our personal star should be covered with sunspots, setting off flares and discharging large clouds of particles out into space in the form of coronal ejections. The only things that seem to be going on are a few solar flares. Other than that it has been extremely quiet. This small maximum which followed a solar minimum, that was the period where the Sun’s activity slowed down."

The word \"\"fuels\"\" means they are burned to create energy. Fossil fuels happen to be long-chain hydrocarbons (i.e. they are made up of hydrogen and carbon bonded together.) When the fuel is oxidized (i.e. oxygen added at high temperature), the bonds break and release a lot of energy. The energy does things like move our cars and generate electricity. Sometimes it's just the energy itself we want (as in heating our homes). When hydrocarbons get burned, the hydrogen atoms join with oxygen to form H2O, which is water, and the carbons join with oxygen to form CO2, which is carbon dioxide. Both the water and the carbon dioxide get released into the air. The \"\"fossil\"\" indicates that they come from deep within the Earth, where they arrived after millions of years of geological transformations."

The method was performed almost two millenia ago, and produced quite accurate results (considering the ‘equipment’ used). But it was far from being the only (or first) method to understand our planet’s shape. Humanity has known the Earth to be round for a few millenia and I’ve been meaning to refine that video and show more of these methods of how we figured out the world is not flat. I’ve had a few ideas on how to do that, but recently got an interesting incentive, when Phil Plait ( The Bad Astronomer) wrote about a recently published BBC article about “The Flat Earth” society. Phil claims it’s ridiculous to even bother rebutting the flat earth society – and I tend to agree. But the history of our species’ intellectual pursuit is important and interesting, and it’s very much well worth writing about. You don’t need to denounce all science and knowledge and believe in a kooky conspiracy theory to enjoy some historical factoids about humanity’s quest for space. Though I have researched this subject, I am quite certain there will be much more to be said about it – feel free to add more in the comments. If all goes well, this might actually be a good post to refer to whenever anyone wants to discuss a bit of ancient science and the source of cosmological thought."

Scientists think conditions on Titan are similar to Earth's early years (the main difference is that, because it is closer to the sun, Earth has always been warmer). According to NASA, \"\"In many respects, Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is one of the most Earth-like worlds we have found to date. \"\" Error setting up player: Invalid license key Atmosphere of Titan An orange haze surrounding Titan kept its surface a mystery for Earth's scientists until the arrival of the Cassini mission in 2004. Titan's atmosphere extends about 370 miles high (about 600 kilometers), which makes it a lot higher than Earth's atmosphere. Because the atmosphere is so high, Titan was thought to be the largest moon in the solar system for a long time. It wasn't until 1980 that Voyager was close enough to discover it was actually smaller than Ganymede."

"text": "An education technician typically has the job of assisting teachers and other education staff members in providing appropriate lessons, creating and implementing learning activities, tracking student progress, grading student work, and supervising students. The exact job description may vary, however, depending on the school or company at which a person is hired. Often, a person who becomes an education technician provides in-classroom help to teachers as part of an internship that provides preparation for a teaching career. Some, however, may take this job without intentions of pursuing other education positions. One of the jobs an education technician may have is working with a teacher or group of teachers to create lesson plans for students. An education technician typically works to ensure the lesson plans are age appropriate, meet the teacher’s expectations, and include various methods of teaching. In some cases, an education technician may also help develop lesson plans that meet the unique needs of special needs students. Often, a person with this title also will be called on to help implement lesson plans. For example, he may be asked to provide reinforcement for the lessons the teacher uses with the class. Sometimes this reinforcement may take the form of spending time with a small group of students to ensure they understand the key concepts and provide additional help when necessary."

Cardiovascular technologists and technicians assist physicians in diagnosing and treating cardiac (heart) and peripheral vascular (blood vessel) ailments. They may specialize in any of three areas of practice: invasive cardiology, echocardiography, and vascular technology. Cardiovascular technologists who specialize in invasive procedures are called cardiology technologists. They assist physicians with cardiac catheterization procedures in which a small tube, or catheter, is inserted in patients to remove blood vessel obstructions. Those who assist physicians in the diagnosis of disorders affecting circulation are known as vascular technologists or vascular sonographers. Technologists who use ultrasound to examine the heart chambers, valves, and vessels are referred to as cardiac sonographers or echocardiographers. Cardiac technologists also help prepare patients for cardiac catheterization. During the procedures, they monitor the patient’s blood pressure and heart rate with electrocardiogram (EKG) equipment and notify the physician of any abnormalities with these indicators. Cardiovascular technologists may also prepare and monitor patients during open-heart surgery and during the insertion of pacemakers and stents that open up blockages in arteries to the heart and major blood vessels."

"text": "An HVAC technician is a professional that labors in the field of heating, ventilation, air conditioning service and support. He or she can install and repair systems, as well as maintain them. He or she may work as an independent contractor or be employed by a company that specializes in climate control solutions for businesses and residential properties. When an HVAC technician is associated with the installation of a new system, he or she will be proficient in reading blueprints connected to the installation, and will participate in the preparation of the space for the installation of the required equipment. This may also include ductwork construction and installation as well as the main components for the system. The HVAC technician will be responsible for making sure the installation is conducted in compliance with local regulations, and that the unit will provide efficient heating and air conditioning for the space. For HVAC technicians focused on maintaining existing systems, the focus is on inspecting each component in the system. This will include making sure that each portion of the overall system is still functioning within acceptable levels of efficiency. If a component is found to be wearing out or in danger of breaking down, the technician will engage in repairs to the unit that will correct the situation. An HVAC technician will also check for ventilation efficiency of the system and make adjustments if necessary."

"text": "Radiologist vs. Radiology Technician: What’s the Difference? August 29, 2013 by Admin Perhaps you have noticed that there are several titles or job descriptions that are related to radiology, and you are curious to know what the differences are. If you have had to have an X-ray, CT or MRI scan before, it is possible that you have noticed how there are radiologists and radiology technicians who work in hospitals, clinics, or other medical facilities, and they seem to have different job descriptions of their own. While both are considered as health care professionals, working side-by-side in hospitals and other medical and healthcare facilities, and dealing with much of the same aspects of radiology and its purpose of diagnosing and combating illnesses, radiologists and radiology technicians differ based on their level of training, experience, and duties. What Do Radiology Technicians Do? Radiology technicians specialize in handling the equipment and in conducting the various imaging tests such as ultrasounds, X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, etc. Generally, radiology technicians focus on specializing in one type of procedure, but it is more advantageous to aim for certification in more than one procedure so the radiology technician can perform several. If you walk into a clinic or hospital, the radiology technician would be the one to assist you with the procedure based on the doctor’s instructions and the patient’s needs. The radiology technician is also responsible for making sure that the patient is properly shielded and prepped for the examination. Most importantly, the radiology technician must operate the equipment correctly, aligning and adjusting the imaging equipment appropriately and assisting the doctors or radiologists with the test results."

Source: Shutterstock How much do labels matter when it comes to teaching? How do you describe yourself as a Chemist and what defines this? For many people this is relatively simple, academic credentials and research interests provide the definition; degree subjects, final year project dissertations, higher degree and Ph D topics all narrow the description from scientist, to chemist, to synthetic organic chemist in my case. How about as an educator? Does your academic ‘label’ matter when you spend a proportion, or indeed all of your time, nurturing the next generation of scientists? I started my teaching career in what Alistair Campbell would describe as a ‘bog standard comprehensive school’. My contract said ‘Teacher of Science – Chemistry’ and to me that final tag was important. I taught all sciences to GCSE including vocational courses and chemistry to A-level."

In May 2008, the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, the Rt Hon Ed Balls MP, asked Sir Jim Rose:to make recommendations on the identification and teaching of children with dyslexia, and on how best to take forward the commitment in the Children's Plan to establish a pilot scheme in which children with dyslexia will receive Reading Recovery support or one-to-one tuition from specialist dyslexia teachers. [ 75]61. Sir Jim Rose's report (\"\"the Rose Report\"\") was published in June 2009. Sir Jim commented: The Children's Plan made it clear that the Government wants every child to succeed, and it hardly needs to be said that the ability to read well is key to success in education and an essential 'life skill'. Moreover, reading and writing are closely related, and both are dependent on the development of children's speaking and listening capabilities. As the review explains, responses to overcoming dyslexia and other developmental difficulties of language learning and cognition must be robust and set within high quality provision for securing literacy for all children, especially in primary schools. [ 76]62. Sir Jim went on to make 19 recommendations that required action by DCSF and a number of non-government bodies. Those aimed at DCSF included suggestions that the Department should:fund a number of teachers to undertake specialist training in teaching children with dyslexia so that access to specialist expertise can be improved across local authorities and schools will form partnerships to share expertise; [ 77 ]cancel the pilot scheme in which children with dyslexia will receive Reading Recovery support (see paras 78-79); [ 78 ] andwork with partners to develop additions to the delivery of Every Child a Reader and other interventions, particularly to make them more focussed on phonic work.

Ruth Kelly, Education Secretary at the time, accepted all the Rose report's recommendations and said she would ensure they were implemented (Kelly response to interim report 30/11/05) The Df ES (now Df E) followed up Kelly's statement, saying, ''High-quality phonic work, as defined by the Rose review, should be a key feature of literacy provision in all the ‘waves’ of intervention'' ( Df ES 2007 PNS)http://ssphonix.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/and-now-for-something-completely.html ''I am often asked about the role of phonics in 'catch up'... Phonics is the basic mechanism of all reading... There are no reliable alternatives''The new national curriculum, statutory in state maintained schools, states:\"\"If they are still struggling to decode and spell, they need to be taught to do this urgently through a rigorous and systematic phonics programme so that they catch up rapidly. \"\" Your Options - and what to avoid: 1. Rely on 'in school' support which presently, due to the wide-spread lack of knowledge of the most effective way to remediate most reading difficulties, usually amounts to little more than the student being expected to memorise lists of high frequency 'sight words' and work through the book levels of a non-systematic, multi-cueing intervention programme (see below) in small groups or 1-1 (time limited, often just 10 weeks) with a teaching assistant (TA). Parents should be aware that, in most state schools, children struggling with reading are likely to be placed with a TA for literacy support. In fact, the more severe their difficulties the more likely that they will be taken out of class and taught by a TA whilst their classmates remain in the classroom and are taught by the teacher. '' There has been a drift towards TAs becoming, in effect, the primary educators of lower-attaining pupils and those with SEN'' (Teach Primary.issue 6.3.p13). A five year study (Diss: Deployment and impact of support staff) found that there was a consistent negative relationship between the amount of TA support a pupil received and the pupil's progress. This was found across primary and secondary years. A primary teacher comments, '' (T)he slower learners and those with often complicated special needs are \"\"taught\"\" maths and English in small groups or individually by untrained (but very well meaning) classroom assistants leaving the rest with the teacher."

Through greater understanding of when and how fast specific areas of children's brains develop, we are learning more about the early stages of a wide range of mental illnesses that appear later in life. Helping young children and their parents manage difficulties early in life may prevent the development of disorders. Once mental illness develops, it becomes a regular part of your child's behavior and more difficult to treat. Even though we know how to treat (though not yet cure) many disorders, many children with mental illnesses are not getting treatment. This fact sheet addresses common questions about diagnosis and treatment options for children with mental illnesses. Disorders affecting children may include anxiety disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, eating disorders, and schizophrenia. Q. What should I do if I am concerned about mental, behavioral, or emotional symptoms in my child? A. Talk to your child's doctor or health care provider."

Ben's story, age 11Introduction What causes ADHD?‘ Attention deficit (ADD)’, ‘attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)', ‘hyperkinetic disorder' and ‘hyperactivity' are various terms used by people and professionals. These differences in terminology can sometimes cause confusion. All the above terms describe the problems of children who are hyperactive and have difficulty concentrating. What are attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and hyperkinetic disorder? ADHD is a behavioural disorder which often becomes obvious in early childhood. The behaviours are due to underlying problems of poor attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Many children, especially under-fives, are inattentive and restless."

"text": "Reading Specialists: Do They Do What They “Do?”Christine Mallozzi Chet Laine University of Cincinnati In this article, using interview data from eight reading specialists, we examine the roles and responsibilities assumed by reading specialists. Although identifying the essence of what it means to be a reading specialist is a continuing goal for researchers, during the past decade, several studies have more clearly defined the roles and responsibilities of this important group of reading professionals. Several studies reveal that the International Reading Association Standards for Reading Professionals (Professional Standards and Ethics Committee of the International Reading Association, 1998) are being used in whole or in part by teacher preparation programs in the United States (Barclay & Thistlewaite, 1992; Gelheiser & Meyers, 1991; Tancock, 1995; Bean, Trovato, Armitage, Bryant, & Dugan, 1993; Bean, Trovato, Hamilton, 1995). These standards, revised in 2003, provide criteria for developing and evaluating preparation programs for reading professionals. At the time of this study, the revised standards (Professional Standards and Ethics Committee of the International Reading Association, 2003) were not available. Although these standards emphasize the performance, knowledge, and skills of candidates completing a preparation program, they indicate a caliber of higher performance expected of a seasoned professional reading specialist. Standards states, “The increased focus on candidate performance . . . is a response to the shifts in the field of education toward a focus on the outcomes of learning rather than inputs” (2003). Since the roles and responsibilities of reading specialists are constantly changing, administrators and reading specialists often perceive reading specialists’ roles differently (Barry, 1997). Classroom teachers’ expectations for a reading specialist are different still (Maleki & Herman, 1994; Tancock, 1995)."

Availability and regulation Risks and limitations The Alexander technique teaches improved posture and movement, which is believed to help reduce and prevent problems caused by unhelpful habits. During a number of lessons you're taught to be more aware of your body, how to improve poor posture and move more efficiently. Teachers of the Alexander technique believe this helps get rid of tension in your body and relieves problems such as back pain, neck ache, sore shoulders and other musculoskeletal problems. Evidence suggests the technique has the potential to improve certain health conditions, but there are some claims made about the technique that haven’t been scientifically tested (see Does it work? below). Key principles The main principles of the Alexander technique are:\"\"how you move, sit and stand affects how well you function\"\"\"\"the relationship of the head, neck and spine is fundamental to your ability to function optimally\"\"\"\"becoming more mindful of the way you go about your daily activities is necessary to make changes and gain benefit\"\"\"\"the mind and body work together intimately as one, each constantly influencing the other\"\"Teachers of the technique say that conditions such as backache and other sorts of long-term pain are often the result of misusing your body over a long period of time, such as moving inefficiently and standing or sitting with your weight unevenly distributed. The aim of the Alexander technique is to help you \"\"unlearn\"\" these bad habits and achieve a balanced, more naturally aligned body. Learning the Alexander technique The Alexander technique is taught by a qualified teacher (see Finding a teacher below for information about training) in one-to-one lessons. Lessons often take place in a studio, clinic or the teacher's house and usually last 30-45 minutes."

In the realm of special education, the assessment process is absolutely essential. Parents, teachers, specialists and counselors depend on multiple assessments to identify a student’s strengths, weaknesses and progress. What Are Assessments? Assessments often include various tests, both standardized or criterion-referenced, but testing is not the only way that educators measure students’ aptitude. Assessments are evaluations, and might consist of anything from simple observations that a teacher or aide jots down while a student works on an assignment to complex, multi-stage procedures such as a group of teachers assembling a large portfolio of student work. Then there are assessments that are required by individual schools, districts or states that help educators determine whether or not a student qualifies for special education and, if so, the types and frequency of services that will best support a student’s success. Common assessments in special education include: Individual Intelligence Tests: As the name suggests, individual intelligence tests are administered to a student one on one."

Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that travels through space with the characteristics of a wave. Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between about 400 nm and 740 nm is detected as visible light. Our eyes detect different wavelengths of visible light as different colors. For example, light with a wavelength of 400 nm appears violet while light with a wavelength of 740 nm appears red. White light is actually a mixture of all the visible wavelengths. When white light passes through a solution, the color of the solution will depend on how much of each wavelength passes through the solution (called optical transmittance) and how much of each wavelength is absorbed (called optical absorbance ). A spectrophotometer is an instrument that can pass light of a single wavelength through a solution and measure the amount that passes through. First, the spectrophotometer must be zeroed by passing light of the chosen wavelength (500 nm for example) through a blank containing only the solvent. Then, the same wavelength of light is passed through the solution."

A spectrophotometer measures the intensity of a light beam before and after it passes through a sample and compares these two intensities. The Spec 20 reports two types of measurements: percent transmittance and absorbance. Percent transmittance is the ratio of the intensity of the light passing through the sample to the intensity of the light shining on the sample multiplied by 100%. Absorbance is the log of the transmittance. The Spec 20 can measure absorbance and transmittance over a range of wavelenghts.

Tim Loftus The first part of these phosphorus articles (Why Be Concerned About Phosphorus?) addressed the role of phosphorus in the environment and the reasons why this nutrient needs to be treated by wastewater treatment plants. The article also described the different forms of phosphorus and how one needs to convert organic and condensed forms of phosphorus to orthophosphate, an easily measurable form for analysis. As with all chemical analyses, accurate results start with the cleanliness of the sampling equipment and with proper sample protocol. These are especially important when a low level of detection must be achieved, a level at which many wastewater treatment plants that remove phosphorus must meet. Samples for phosphorus analyses can be collected in either glass or plastic containers. Prior to sample collection, wash containers with a non-phosphate detergent, rinse with hot dilute hydrochloric acid, then follow with several rinses of reagent water. You should also follow this procedure in cleaning all of the other glassware associated with phosphorus analyses: digestion glassware, the spectrophotometer’s cells, etc. It’s even better if you dedicate this glassware only for phosphorus testing."

Today we’re going to talk about the importance of calibrating and profiling your input & output devices in your color management workflow. This is probably the most important step in the color management process, especially calibrating and profiling your monitor display because you need to trust that the color you see on your monitor is true and correct in order for you to be able to make color and luminosity decisions. Profiling the display When we’re looking at a photo, or anything for that matter, on our monitor display, we’re basically looking at a huge number of pixels, each of which displays a certain color. Monitors (or those pixels to be more precise) don’t always display the color they are supposed to display correctly because there are usually some modifications occurring between what color info the program (let’s say Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator) is sending out to the monitor to display and what the monitor does actually display. Furthermore, the monitor display changes the way it interprets color information overtime, so you need to constantly tune your monitor to display color correctly, and this is when calibration and profiling of the monitor display comes into place. Profiling the display has two parts to it. First of all, you have to have what is called a profiling software. The profiling software takes color information from your computer and sends it off to your monitor display."

Specifically, UV Vis spectrophotometers determine how much light of a given wavelength passes through a sample, and how much is absorbed. Such information can be diagnostic of molecular identity, concentration, structure, or activity, whether of organic species such as porphyrins, benzenes, and napthalenes, or of biomolecules like nucleic acids and proteins.

Because much of the creatinine is produced in muscle, the amount of creatinine that is measured in blood is proportional to the patient's lean muscle mass. The waste product creatinine, enters the blood supply and is excreted in the urine. The measurement of creatinine is used to aid in the determination of renal function. The principle of the measurement of creatinine is based on the Jaffe reaction. That is, under alkaline conditions creatinine reacts directly with picric ions forming a reddish complex, the absorbance of which can be measured at 520 nm. However, several interfering substances including proteins, ketones, glucose, and ascorbic acid also react with picric acid, producing similar colored complexes. Serum proteins are precipitated with tungstic acid solution before measuring for creatinine.

Spectrophotometers are used for research in physics, molecular biology, chemistry, and biochemistry labs. Typically, the name refers to Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy. The energy of light is dependent on its wavelength, usually designated as lambda. Although the electromagnetic spectrum extends over a tremendous range of wavelengths, most laboratories can only measure a small fraction of them. UV-Vis Spectroscopy measures between 200 and 400 nanometers (nm) for UV light measurements, and up to approximately 750 nm in the visible spectrum. For UV-Vis Spectroscopy, samples are usually contained and measured in small containers called cuvettes. These can be plastic if used in the visible spectrum, but need to be quartz or fused silica if used for UV measurements. There are some machines that can utilize glass test tubes. Visible Spectroscopy is often used industrially for colorimetry."

It is mostly commonly found in milk (including human milk) so organisms who depend on milk for energy (infants, calves, kittens and other mammalian babies) split it into glucose and galactose. The reaction is greatly aided by an enzyme called lactase. Lactase in humans is encoded by the LCT gene found on chromosome 2. Infants express lactase, but transcription of the gene declines after weaning, resulting in a condition in adults called lactose intolerance. Some populations continue to express lactase after infancy (called lactase persistence), due to a mutation in the LCT gene promoter. This mutation is believed to have occurred between 5 and 10 thousand years ago, and involves a single base change in the promoter region which prevents binding of the transcription factors that normally down-regulate expression in adulthood. It allows for the enjoyment of ice cream, fresh cheeses and milk. Conveniently for us, lactose intolerance is common enough in the population that lactase is sold at pharmacies though apparently the marketers have spelling trouble and call it “lactaid.”"

BUNGAR UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES, DILIMAN, QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES DATE PERFORMED: JANUARY 15, 2014 INSTRUCTOR’S NAME: LISA RAMIREZ ABSTRACT The experiment’s main purpose is to obtain the value of Keq of an unknown solution. This was done by creating a calibration graph by plotting the concentration of Fe SCN2+ ions vs. its absorbance. The best fit line formed served as the calibration graph. The measured absorbance of the unknown solution was then plugged into the y variable in the best fit line equation in order to get the concentration of Fe SCN2+ at equilibrium. The concentration of Fe SCN2+ at equilibrium was then subtracted to the initial concentrations of Fe3+ and SCN- to get their respective concentrations at equilibrium. Keq was computed by the ratio of the concentration of the products and the reactants of the reaction raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. The experimental Keq yielded an 80% error which indicates that the experiment was not much of a success. Because of the very large percent error, it is suggested that the reagents used be of high purity. Also, it is would be ideal to be very careful in measuring the solutions in order to gain a more accurate result.

"text": "How Spectrophotometers Can Ensure the Purity of Aspirin Aspirin was discovered in Germany in 1899. Aspirin whose chemical name is acetylsalicylic acid was derived from a compound called salicylic acid. The medicinal pain killing values of acetylsalicylic were already known at the time, but so was its most common side effect which was stomach upset. The first person to buffer this side effect was a French Chemist named Charles Frederick Gerhardt who added sodium and acetyl chloride to it in 1853. Mr. Gerhardt did not pursue marketing his buffered product and thus it remained fairly unknown for years. In 1899, however, a German Chemist named Felix Hoffman used the formula to relieve his own father s arthritic problems. Mr. Hoffman, who worked for Bayer, informed the company of the results and the rest as they say is history. Because today's aspirin is mass produced in tablet form, Spectrophotometers are a reliable and economical way to keep the purity of Aspirin consistent throughout the manufacturing process. The purity and amount of acetylsalicylic acid in aspirin can be measured using a Visual Spectrophotometer. Here's why: when iron is added to aspirin, it produces violet tetraaquosalicylatroiron complex."

The DOC and UVA determinations are used in the calculation of the Specific UV Absorbance (SUVA). For TOC and DOC analysis, the sample is acidified and the inorganic carbon (1C) is removed prior to analysis for organic carbon (OC) content using a TOC instrument system. The measurements of TOC and DOC are based on calibration with potassium hydrogen phthalate (KFIP) standards. This method is not intended for use in the analysis of treated or untreated industrial wastewater discharges as those wastewater samples may damage or contaminate the instrument system (s). 1.2 The three (3) day, pooled organic carbon detection limit (OCDL) is based on the detection limit (DL) calculation.1 It is a statistical determination of precision, and may be below the level of quantitation. The determination of OCDL is dependent on the analytical instrument system's precision, the purity of laboratory reagent water (LRW), and the skill of the analyst. Different TOC instrument systems have produced significantly different OCDLs that range between 0.02 and 0.12 mg/L OC for both TOC and DOC measurements. Examples of these data can be seen in Section 17, Table 17.1. It should be noted that background levels of OC contamination are problematic."

"text": "Difference Between Absorbance and Transmittance August 3, 2015 by Nipun 3 min read Main Difference – Absorbance vs. Transmittance Absorbance and transmittance are two related, but different quantities used in spectrometry. The main difference between absorbance and transmittance is that absorbance measures how much of an incident light is absorbed when it travels in a material while transmittance measures how much of the light is transmitted. Due to the way they are defined, the two are not complementary quantities: i.e., adding transmittance to absorbance directly does not give the total incident light. As light passes through a material, it is absorbed by molecules in the material. Consequently, the intensity of light decreases exponentially with distance as the light passes through the material. Transmittance through a sample solution is is easily measured by measuring the intensities of incident and transmitted light. Using the value for transmittance, it is then possible to calculate the absorbance of the sample. What is Transmittance? Transmittance () is a measurement of how much light passes through a substance. The higher the amount of light that passes through, the larger the transmittance."

It determines color based on the red, blue, and green components of light absorbed by the object or sample, much as the human eye does. When light passes through a medium, part of the light is absorbed, and as a result, there is a decrease in how much of the light reflected by the medium. A colorimeter measures that change so users can analyze the concentration of a particular substance in that medium. The device works on the basis of Beer-Lambert's law, which states that the absorption of light transmitted through a medium is directly proportional to the concentration of the medium. Types There are many different types of colorimeters, including the color densitometer, which measures the density of primary colors, and the color photometer, which measures the reflection and transmission of color. Styles include digital, also called laboratory, and portable. Digital versions are most often used in a lab setting for sampling or in the classroom for educational purposes. Portable versions can be carried anywhere, regardless of environmental conditions, to test things like water and soil samples on site. The spectrophotometer, a type of photometer that measures light intensity, is often grouped together with colorimeters, but it is technically a different device."

This is because humans have certain expectations of how food should look. When a food's color is off or is different than what we expect, our brain tells us that it tastes different too. Long supported by scientific studies, we use visual cues from color to identify and judge the quality and taste of what we eat. Eat With Your Eyes Your taste buds play an important role in determining the four basic groups of taste, which are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. When your taste buds come in contact with food, they send signals to your brain to interpret flavor. Because we look at our food before eating, however, our eyes send signals to our brain well before our taste buds get the chance. This can predetermine how we will perceive the taste and flavor of what we're about to eat. Color is often the first element noticed in the appearance of a food product. Humans begin to associate certain colors with various types of foods from birth, and equate these colors to certain tastes and flavors throughout life."

Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that travels through space with the characteristics of a wave. Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between about 400 nm and 740 nm is detected as visible light. Our eyes detect different wavelengths of visible light as different colors. For example, light with a wavelength of 400 nm appears violet while light with a wavelength of 740 nm appears red. White light is actually a mixture of all the visible wavelengths. When white light passes through a solution, the color of the solution will depend on how much of each wavelength passes through the solution (called optical transmittance) and how much of each wavelength is absorbed (called optical absorbance ). A spectrophotometer is an instrument that can pass light of a single wavelength through a solution and measure the amount that passes through. First, the spectrophotometer must be zeroed by passing light of the chosen wavelength (500 nm for example) through a blank containing only the solvent. Then, the same wavelength of light is passed through the solution."

"text": "Alternative Title: colourimetry Colorimetry, measurement of the wavelength and the intensity of electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum. It is used extensively for identification and determination of concentrations of substances that absorb light. Two fundamental laws are applied: that of a French scientist, Pierre Bouguer, which is also known as Lambert’s law, relates the amount of light absorbed and the distance it travels through an absorbing medium; and Beer’s law relates light absorption and the concentration of the absorbing substance. The two laws may be combined and expressed by the equation log I0 / I = kcd, where I0 = intensity of the incident beam of light, I = transmitted intensity, c = the concentration of absorbing substance, d = the distance through the absorbing solution, and k = a constant, dependent upon the absorbing substance, the wavelength of light used, and the units used to specify c and d. A simple application of this expression is found in comparing intensities of radiation transmitted through layers of different thicknesses of two solutions of the same absorbing substance, one with a known concentration, the other unknown. If the same incident intensity is used and if the thicknesses of the two solutions are adjusted so that the transmitted intensities are equal, then the concentration of the unknown ( c2) can be expressed by the ratio of the thicknesses of the two solutions, d1 / d2, times the known concentration ( c1 ). If a photoelectric cell instead of the eye is used to compare intensities, the instrument is called a photoelectric colorimeter. In colorimetry, frequently the entire visible spectrum (white light) is used, and consequently the complementary colour of the one absorbed is observed as transmitted light. If monochromatic light or a narrow band of radiation is used, the instrument is called a spectrophotometer. It is not limited to the visible spectrum and is often employed to make measurements in the ultraviolet and infrared regions. The spectrophotometer has largely replaced the colorimeter."

It is more specific than the general term electromagnetic spectroscopy in that spectrophotometry deals with visible light, near-ultraviolet, and near-infrared, but does not cover time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. Spectrophotometry involves the use of a spectrophotometer. A spectrophotometer is a photometer that can measure intensity as a function of the light source wavelength. Important features of spectrophotometers are spectral bandwidth and linear range of absorption or reflectance measurement. A spectrophotometer is commonly used for the measurement of transmittance or reflectance of solutions, transparent or opaque solids, such as polished glass, or gases. However they can also be designed to measure the diffusivity on any of the listed light ranges that usually cover around 200nm - 2500nm using different controls and calibrations."

A wavelength longer than the peak absorbance and shorter than the peak absorbance will result in more light being recorded by the detector.

Tim Loftus The first part of these phosphorus articles (Why Be Concerned About Phosphorus?) addressed the role of phosphorus in the environment and the reasons why this nutrient needs to be treated by wastewater treatment plants. The article also described the different forms of phosphorus and how one needs to convert organic and condensed forms of phosphorus to orthophosphate, an easily measurable form for analysis. As with all chemical analyses, accurate results start with the cleanliness of the sampling equipment and with proper sample protocol. These are especially important when a low level of detection must be achieved, a level at which many wastewater treatment plants that remove phosphorus must meet. Samples for phosphorus analyses can be collected in either glass or plastic containers. Prior to sample collection, wash containers with a non-phosphate detergent, rinse with hot dilute hydrochloric acid, then follow with several rinses of reagent water. You should also follow this procedure in cleaning all of the other glassware associated with phosphorus analyses: digestion glassware, the spectrophotometer’s cells, etc. It’s even better if you dedicate this glassware only for phosphorus testing."

To test for their presence we must find a way to \"\"see\"\" them. A colorimeter or spectrophotometer can be used to measure any test substance that is itself colored or can be reacted to produce a color. In fact a simple definition of colorimetry is \"\"the measurement of color\"\" and a colorimetric method is \"\"any technique used to evaluate an unknown color in reference to known colors\"\". In a colorimetric chemical test the intensity of the color from the reaction must be proportional to the concentration of the substance being tested. Some reactions have limitations or variances inherent to them that may give misleading results. Most limitations or variances are discussed with each particular test instruction. In the most basic colorimetric method the reacted test sample is visually compared to a known color standard. However, the eyesight of the analyst, inconsistencies in the light sources, and the fading of color standards limit accurate and reproducible results. To avoid these sources of error, a colorimeter or spectrophotometer can be used to photoelectrically measure the amount of colored light absorbed by a colored sample in reference to a colorless sample (blank)."

"text": "\"Principles of Spectrophotometry A spectrophotometer consists of two instruments, namely a spectrometer for producing light of any selected color (wavelength), and a photometer for measuring the intensity of light. The instruments are arranged so that liquid in a cuvette can be placed between the spectrometer beam and the photometer. The amount of light passing through the tube is measured by the photometer. The photometer delivers a voltage signal to a display device, normally a galvanometer. The signal changes as the amount of light absorbed by the liquid changes. If development of color is linked to the concentration of a substance in solution then that concentration can be measured by determining the extent of absorption of light at the appropriate wavelength. For example hemoglobin appears red because the hemoglobin absorbs blue and green light rays much more effectively than red. The degree of absorbance of blue or green light is proportional to the concentration of hemoglobin. When monochromatic light (light of a specific wavelength) passes through a solution there is usually a quantitative relationship (Beer's law) between the solute concentration and the intensity of the transmitted light, that is,where I sub 0 is the intensity of transmitted light using the pure solvent, I is the intensity of the transmitted light when the colored compound is added, c is concentration of the colored compound, l is the distance the light passes through the solution, and k is a constant. If the light path l is a constant, as is the case with a spectrophotometer, Beer's law may be written,where k is a new constant and T is the transmittance of the solution."

"text": "How Spectrophotometers Can Ensure the Purity of Aspirin Aspirin was discovered in Germany in 1899. Aspirin whose chemical name is acetylsalicylic acid was derived from a compound called salicylic acid. The medicinal pain killing values of acetylsalicylic were already known at the time, but so was its most common side effect which was stomach upset. The first person to buffer this side effect was a French Chemist named Charles Frederick Gerhardt who added sodium and acetyl chloride to it in 1853. Mr. Gerhardt did not pursue marketing his buffered product and thus it remained fairly unknown for years. In 1899, however, a German Chemist named Felix Hoffman used the formula to relieve his own father s arthritic problems. Mr. Hoffman, who worked for Bayer, informed the company of the results and the rest as they say is history. Because today's aspirin is mass produced in tablet form, Spectrophotometers are a reliable and economical way to keep the purity of Aspirin consistent throughout the manufacturing process. The purity and amount of acetylsalicylic acid in aspirin can be measured using a Visual Spectrophotometer. Here's why: when iron is added to aspirin, it produces violet tetraaquosalicylatroiron complex."

Impurities in DNA can lead to inaccurate measurement of DNA concentration and could potentially inhibit subsequent labelling reactions. This article provides recommendations for measuring DNA quality for use in a CGH, such as OGT's Cyto Sure arrays for cytogenetics, molecular and cancer applications based on our experience of running thousands of samples per week in our high-throughput genomic services laboratory. In addition, detailed information is provided on the theory and practice behind measuring DNA purity and concentration. Overview DNA concentration can be assessed using four different methods: absorbance (optical density), agarose gel electrophoresis, fluorescent DNA-binding dyes and a luciferase-pyrophosphorylation-coupled quantitation system. The two most common methods of measuring DNA purity and concentration are absorbance (measured using a spectrophotometer) and agarose gel analysis. At Oxford Gene Technology (OGT), we ensure all DNA samples run in our high-throughput laboratory are of suitable purity for accurate, reliable and reproducible results. We typically measure DNA purity and concentration using a Nano Drop™ spectrophotometer. A260/280 and A260/230 values greater than 1.8 are typically suitable for analysis (see section “Absorbance” for more information on Absorbance ratios). Lower A260/280 values may indicate protein contamination."

Spectrophotometers are used for research in physics, molecular biology, chemistry, and biochemistry labs. Typically, the name refers to Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy. The energy of light is dependent on its wavelength, usually designated as lambda. Although the electromagnetic spectrum extends over a tremendous range of wavelengths, most laboratories can only measure a small fraction of them. UV-Vis Spectroscopy measures between 200 and 400 nanometers (nm) for UV light measurements, and up to approximately 750 nm in the visible spectrum. For UV-Vis Spectroscopy, samples are usually contained and measured in small containers called cuvettes. These can be plastic if used in the visible spectrum, but need to be quartz or fused silica if used for UV measurements. There are some machines that can utilize glass test tubes. Visible Spectroscopy is often used industrially for colorimetry."

When it first occurred it was white and hairless, so I applied a cold wet cloth to it and chap-stick (only thing around) he was sound, we continued on to show with no problems. When I got back to the farm I cleaned and wrapped the fetlock and applied Vetericyn and left it overnight. Yesterday morning I took off the bandage and it was hot and swollen and the bandage was a bright yellow, and the burn was bleeding in some spots, I suspected in part was caused by the bandage restricting full movement of the joint. I cleaned it again and reapplied another bandage with more padding in hopes that it wouldn't irritate it so much, but did not want to leave it open in fear of it getting dirty and infected. Later that day my gelding got caught in the coated wire fence in the field kicking at a new horse and skinned large portions of his opposite hind leg, While tending to that injury I looked again under the bandage of his rope burn and already the bandage was full of a bright yellow color, blood, and general seepage. I let it air out for an hour or so and applied another bandage, not sure if it was better to keep it covered or let it air but risk infection from the grime of the ground. Yesterday evening I cleaned and noted some swelling moving up the leg. I put him in standing wraps for the night in his stall, and started him on bute and SMZ antibiotics. This morning the leg was swollen halfway to his hock, hot and had a pulse."

"text": "\"What Does Herpes Look Like? What does herpes look like is a common question from people who suspect they have genital herpes symptoms. A lot of people confuse it with other skin conditions such as a rash or pimples. Many times people describe herpes blisters as an insect bite, razor burn, cut from shaving, an ingrown hair or simply think it’s a yeast infection. Let’s take a closer look at each and compare them to a typical herpes blister.1. An insect Bite: Certainly an insect bite can resemble a herpes blister but it really depends on the particular insect that does the biting. Insect bites tend to have a lot of swelling, itching and pain in the localized area of the bite. Additionally, if you look close enough you can actually see the bite marks on your skin. Of all the insect bites that I have had over the years, a fire ant bites and perhaps a flea bite most closely looks like a herpes blister but the differences are still major. Both bites begin looking like herpes sores but soon develops into a more “pimple-like” appearance."

Morgan was born on June 1, 1937 in Memphis, Tennessee, to Mayme Edna (Revere), a teacher, and Morgan Porterfield Freeman, a barber. The young Freeman attended Los Angeles City College before serving several years in the US Air Force as a mechanic between 1955 and 1959. His first dramatic arts exposure was on the stage including appearing in an all-African American production of the exuberant musical Hello, Dolly!. Throughout the 1970s, he continued his work on stage, winning Drama Desk and Clarence Derwent Awards and receiving a Tony Award nomination for his performance in The Mighty Gents in 1978. In 1980, he won two Obie Awards, for his portrayal of Shakespearean anti-hero Coriolanus at the New York Shakespeare Festival and for his work in Mother Courage and Her Children. Freeman won another Obie in 1984 for his performance as The Messenger in the acclaimed Brooklyn Academy of Music production of Lee Breuer 's The Gospel at Colonus and, in 1985, won the Drama-Logue Award for the same role. In 1987, Freeman created the role of Hoke Coleburn in Alfred Uhry 's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Driving Miss Daisy, which brought him his fourth Obie Award. In 1990, Freeman starred as Petruchio in the New York Shakespeare Festival's The Taming of the Shrew, opposite Tracey Ullman. Returning to the Broadway stage in 2008, Freeman starred with Frances Mc Dormand and Peter Gallagher in Clifford Odets ' drama The Country Girl, directed by Mike Nichols. Freeman first appeared on TV screens as several characters including \"\"Easy Reader\"\", \"\"Mel Mounds\"\" and \"\"Count Dracula\"\" on the Children's Television Workshop (now Sesame Workshop) show The Electric Company (1971)."

Is that too soon? He also said to use antibacterial soap as well. How long for a labret piercing to heal? ANSWER #3 of 20A completely healed belly button piercing can take up to one and a half years. Belly button piercings can be difficult to heal because of exposure to poorly chlorinated waters; also clothing and sweat can irritate the piercing. Factors that can slow the healing process include bad quality jewelry, stress, illness, lack of proper care and a poor diet. If not cared for properly a belly button piercing can take 1-2 years to heal and is an easy target for recurring infection."

Regardless of their form, they should never be taken lightly. Treat all puncture wounds with the respect they deserve, as what initially seems like a routine problem can quickly get out of control and threaten the career or even life of the horse. Indirect Puncture The most commonly occurring puncture wound is an indirect introduction of bacteria into the foot via small fissures that open along the terminal laminae. Once the laminae reach the inner sole surface they cornify and become non-sensitive. The cornified cells resemble the anatomy of the sensitive laminae but have a totally different function. The zone of laminae that lies between the wall and sole is called the terminal laminae, and it acts as a buffer union between the wall and sole, as they grow at the same rate. The terminal laminae were formerly referred to as the white line, a term that has been the subject of much debate simply due to its non-descriptive meaning. The only white zone of the hoof is the stratum medium, the inner, non-pigmented horn wall that lies between the outer horn and the laminae."

Very large spiders are capable of preying on small vertebrate animals such as lizards, frogs, fish, tadpoles, or even small snakes or baby rodents. Large orb weavers have been observed to occasionally ensnare small birds or bats. Recently, a jumping spider was discovered in Central America that feeds mostly on special fruiting bodies on acacia trees. This vegetarian appetite is quite atypical. Still, male flower crab spiders, Misumena vatia, are known to feed on pollen in the flowers where they sit and wait for insects (and females of their own species).

"text": "Answer The answer to this question depends greatly on climate and the species of spider in question. Spiders reproduce year round in tropical regions. North American spiders can breed in the spring, summer, or fall, or all three seasons. Typically, spiders in the U. S. and Canada appear more abundant in autumn because most of the large orb weavers reach adulthood at that time, and as the foliage falls from trees their webs become ever more obvious. Further, fall is mating time for many of the hunting spiders like tarantulas, trapdoor spiders, wolf spiders, and others; and the males will frequently enter homes and other buildings looking for mates, even those species normally confined to webs. Female orb weavers north of Mexico generally produce egg sacs in the fall and some species overwinter in that condition. Look for wolf spider females to be toting egg sacs from their spinnerets, often in spring or summer. Additional Questions General Spider Questions What is a spider? How do I identify a spider?

"text": "Spider Ecology Spider ecology is a very diverse topic which includes reproductive and feeding ecology, both of which have their own pages. Other aspects of spider ecology include growth, dispersal, survival and their effects on the environment they live in. I will write a little on each of these here, but please realise that I am only offering you a very small glimpse into the fascinating world that is spider ecology. Conservation Spiders are undoubtedly fascinating, despite their bad press in many people's minds and they are also an extremely valuable part of the balance of the world we live in. They are not greatest of pest control agents, unless you consider all insects to be pests which is a very erroneous point of view, although they are cheap, and very useful. Spiders are, for the most part, such generalist feeders that they kill many useful insects as well as many pest species, however because pest species are by their nature more numerous than beneficial species they are still effective. They are of great value to the environment. While they tend to sample insect populations randomly, any population that becomes explosive in its growth will find more of its kind taken by spiders than otherwise. Thus, rather than specifically controlling certain insects, spiders have a general blanket or buffer effect, promoting evolution, helping keeping insect numbers under control in a broad sense and supplying food for many other animals and therefore keeping the flow of life moving.

"text": "Pets & Animals Bugs Spiders Q: How Do Spiders Eat? A: Quick Answer After trapping prey, spiders eat by releasing digestive enzymes that liquefy food and make it easier to swallow. Spiders cannot consume solid food whole, so digested matter must be broken down to pass through their narrow digestive tracts. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Does a Wolf Spider Eat? What Do House Spiders Eat? What Types of Spiders Are Found in Georgia? Credit: Peter Chadwick Getty Images Full Answer Spiders have mouths with chelicerae: jointed jaws containing sharp, protruding fangs capable of expelling venom. Some species use tiny serrations on their chelicerae to grind up food before liquefying it, whereas other spiders eject the enzymes directly from their fangs while attacking prey. They then use special hairs on the chelicerae to extract liquefied innards from dead insects without damaging their exoskeletons.

"text": "How long do spiders live? Answer Most spiders do not live but a few months because predators, parasites, and diseases kill them long before they age to death. Those that complete their life cycle typically last at least a year, from egg stage to adult. Spiders kept in captivity have demonstrated surprising longevity, however. Some female tarantulas, for example, may live over twenty years. Depending on the species, they may not even reach adulthood for several years. Spiders in the genus Sicarius, from deserts in South America and Africa, can live to nearly 15 years. Web-spinning spiders probably do not survive longer than one to three years, even under optimal conditions. Additional Questions General Spider Questions What is a spider?

"text": "Answer The answer to this question depends greatly on climate and the species of spider in question. Spiders reproduce year round in tropical regions. North American spiders can breed in the spring, summer, or fall, or all three seasons. Typically, spiders in the U. S. and Canada appear more abundant in autumn because most of the large orb weavers reach adulthood at that time, and as the foliage falls from trees their webs become ever more obvious. Further, fall is mating time for many of the hunting spiders like tarantulas, trapdoor spiders, wolf spiders, and others; and the males will frequently enter homes and other buildings looking for mates, even those species normally confined to webs. Female orb weavers north of Mexico generally produce egg sacs in the fall and some species overwinter in that condition. Look for wolf spider females to be toting egg sacs from their spinnerets, often in spring or summer. Additional Questions General Spider Questions What is a spider? How do I identify a spider?

Answer by Zooloomax Confidence votes 106Community Answer 1 Adult paper wasps either drink nectar or catch caterpillars and drink the caterpillar's blood, or hemolymph. Then the adult wasp flies back to the nest and regurgitates (throws up) the nectar or blood into the mouths of young (larval) wasps or other adult wasps. After the young wasps are full, they produce a saliva (or spit) which is fifty times more nutritious than nectar. The adult wasps drink this saliva from the mouths of the young wasps. ____________________________________________________________ Community Answer 2 Wasps eat other living bugs like, ants, flies and caterpillars, if their able to catch with fast reflexes they will eat butterflies. They will also make honey with pollen and they will eat the honey afterwards.23 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Lydia Shiina 4 Contributions What eats wasps?

"text": "\"Is it wrong to kill spiders or step on bugs? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"Is it wrong to kill spiders or step on bugs?\"\" Answer: There is no biblical prohibition against killing insects, bugs, spiders, or other such creatures. The Old Testament Law even went so far as to separate out the clean insects that the Israelites could eat from the unclean insects that they couldn’t—eating bugs is one way to get rid of them! “ All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you. There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean” ( Leviticus 11:20–23 ). Of course, most of us today are not looking to the world of insects as a food source. When we kill spiders or insects, it is often because they are pests in our homes."

They can also be found as far north as Mexico. Habitat: Spider Monkeys are arboreal (inhabits in trees). Thriving in the upper canopy, spider monkeys hunt with ease and without the competition of other primates. Also, it should be noted that they sometimes inhabit semi deciduous and mangrove forests. Description: Spider Monkeys have a distinctive feature from other monkeys, glossy hair that covers their entire body except for the face. Their long lanky arms and prehensile (gripping) tails allow them to move among the trees with ease. They do not have thumbs however they can still grip powerfully to tree branches without any limitations. Another particular feature of the spider monkeys is the patch of skin that they have at the end of their tails. This patch works very similar to a finger, it helps to increase their gripping ability."

Spider monkeys are the New World Monkeys that are associated with the genus Ateles. These types of monkeys belong to the family of Atelidae. Spider monkeys are known to reside in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, ranging from Mexico to Brazil. One of the seven species of spider monkeys named brown spider monkey is listed as critically endangered species. These mammals are usually found at the upper layer of rainforests and are known to forage in high canopy from 25 – 30 meters (82 – 98 feet). These species predominantly feed on fruits but will also eat insects, leaves, and flowers. They are sociable animals but they prefer to dwell in unperturbed rainforests. According to latest meta-analyses, the spider monkeys are the most intelligent New World Monkeys. They are capable to generate a sound of bark which is an indication of predators."

Not all the members of this genus have the word \"\"guenon\"\" in their common names, and because of changes in scientific classification, some monkeys in other genera may have common names that do include the word \"\"guenon\"\". Nonetheless the use of the term guenon for monkeys of this genus is widely accepted. All members of the genus are endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa, and most are forest monkeys. Many of the species are quite local in their ranges, and some have even more local subspecies. Many are threatened or endangered because of habitat loss. The species currently placed in the genus Chlorocebus, such as vervet monkeys and green monkeys, were formerly considered as a species in this genus, Cercopithecus aethiops. Marmosets Marmosets are the 22 New World monkey species of the genera Callithrix, Cebuella, Callibella, and Mico. All four genera are part of the biological family Callitrichidae.

Chosen for their intelligence and companionship, it is for these characteristics that a primate is a both challenging and rewarding pet. Typical costs: Monkeys cost between $4,000 and $8,000 each, depending on the monkey's age, rarity and temperament. Younger, more rare and friendlier monkeys tend to cost more. Related articles: Ferret, Chinchilla What should be included: Monkeys are a labor-intensive pet choice. It's much like owning a toddler for 20 to 40 years, which is their life expectancy. Homes must be monkey-proofed and care taken when visitors are present in the home, as monkeys are curious, mischievous and, at times, aggressive. Most monkeys must be diapered or cleaned up after; fed, and played with often. Because of their curiosity, monkeys are considered endlessly entertaining and even thought provoking to their owners. Unless a person in the house will spend most of their time at home, primate experts recommend owning more than one, as monkeys are prone to depression if left alone even for short periods of time."

The major difference, besides living on different continents, is that the New World primates have tails that can grasp and hold things while the Old World primates can't do much with their tails and sometimes have no tail at all. New World primates do not have versatile opposable thumbs like many other primates and most Old World primates do.

[ 1] [3]Its taxonomic history has been confusing, and in the past it has been treated as a subspecies of either the Geoffroy's spider monkey or the white-fronted spider monkey. [ 3] Like all spider monkeys, it has very long, spindly limbs and a lengthy prehensile tail which can almost be called a fifth limb. The brown spider monkey has a whitish belly and patch on the forehead, and – highly unusual among spider monkeys – the eyes are sometimes pale blue. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Physical description2 Range3 Habitat and ecology4 Status5 References6 External links Physical description [ edit]Brown spider monkeys have long and thin limbs with their forelimbs being longer than their hind limbs. They also have a distinctive 75 cm (30 in) long flexible, thin and prehensile tail which at times acts like a fifth limb. The tail has a highly flexible, hairless tip with skin grooves which improves grip. Their hands look slightly curvy and they have small thumbs. All these features make it possible for them to climb trees at high elevations, hang and swing from one tree to another without often having to lower themselves to the ground. Adult males weigh between 7.9 and 9.1 kg (17 and 20 lb) and adult females weigh between 7.5 and 9 kg (17 and 20 lb)."

The warmth leads to a lot of evaporation, and as warm, moist air rises, it cools, the water condenses, and the water falls back to the earth as rain .

Among the best known monkeys, the white-headed capuchin is recognized as the typical companion to the organ grinder. In recent years the species has become popular in North American media. It is a highly intelligent monkey and has been trained to assist paraplegic persons. It is a medium-sized monkey, weighing up to 3.9 kg (8.6 lb). It is mostly black, but with a pink face and white on much of the front part of the body, giving it its common name. It has a distinctive prehensile tail that is often carried coiled up and is used to help support the monkey when it is feeding beneath a branch. In the wild, the white-headed capuchin is versatile, living in many different types of forest, and eating many different types of food, including fruit, other plant material, invertebrates, and small vertebrates. It lives in troops that can exceed 20 animals and include both males and females."

As one of our closest relatives, these mammals are very intelligent and have opposable thumbs, allowing them to use tools and play games. There are more than 260 different types of monkeys. They are separated into two major categories: New World and Old World. The New World monkeys live in the Americas, while Old World monkeys live in Asia and Africa. One difference between the two categories is that Old World monkeys don't have prehensile tails; New World monkeys do. Old World monkeys have special pouches in their cheek where they can store food. Old World monkeys have rump pads, but New World monkeys do not. Also, Old World monkeys' nostrils are small and curved and set close together; most New World monkeys have round nostrils set far apart."

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

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

They can live for long time eating only one or two kinds of fruits and nuts. Let us look into the eating habits of Spider monkeys in this article. As mentioned earlier, the main food of spider monkeys is made up of fruits and nuts. They eat the mature soft parts of a wide variety of fruits. The seeds of these fruits are swallowed along with the fruit. They also gorge on young leaves, flowers and aerial roots. Sometimes, bark and decaying wood, as well as honey also make part of the diet of Spider monkeys.

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

The term podiatry came into use in the early 20th century in the United States and is now used worldwide, including countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia. [ 1]Podiatry is practiced as a specialty in many countries, while in many English-speaking countries, the older title of chiropodist may be used by some clinicians [2] (not to be confused with chiropractic, which is unrelated). In Australia, graduates of recognised academic programs can register through the Podiatry Board of Australia as a \"\"podiatrist', and those with additional recognised training may also receive endorsement to prescribe or administer restricted medications, and/or seek specialist registration as a 'podiatric surgeon'. In many non-English-speaking countries of Europe, the title used may be podologist [3] or podólogo. [ 4] The level and scope of the practice of podiatry vary among countries. According to the American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine, a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and structures of the leg.

"text": "An internal medicine specialist is a doctor who primarily concentrates on treating and diagnosing diseases in adults. These professionals treat the whole body, not just the internal organs, in order to improve a person’s condition. Doctors who specialize in internal medicine are known as internists and often work as general practitioners. These specialists and their staff emphasize preventative medicine and patient education as a way of helping people take better care of themselves. One of the responsibilities of a doctor in this field is to treat a variety of conditions and complaints. Some of the medical conditions an internal medicine specialist treats are cardiovascular disorders, respiratory diseases and acute illnesses. Most internists also see patients with illness such as anemia, ulcers, and obesity. There are different services that an internal medicine doctor provides when seeing patients. Services include diagnostic testing on organs, monitoring vital functions and performing physicals for school sports. Doctors also perform preventative measures ranging from vision and hearing tests to cancer screenings."

He or she uses different tools to study the body systems and how they respond to the stimulus of exercise. This allows the physiologist to gather information for the understanding of the patient, athlete, or study being conducted. A physiologist works in many different types of environments to help carry out the study of exercise and how it affects the human body.

The difference is that the study of exercise physiology is specific to the body's response and adaptation to exercise. However, it is more than running faster or longer. Exercise testing, exercise prescription, exercise nutrition, and cardiac rehabilitation are equally important subject areas. Heart patients, for example, can benefit from exercise physiology just as athletes do. Cardiovascular and metabolic effects and mechanisms are at the heart of understanding exercise physiology. Part of this understanding and what we think exercise physiologists do depends upon the definition of what is an exercise physiologist.

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

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

Since the former SU and OPEC aren’t going to grow their production fast enough to meet rising world demand the marginal cost of the other producers will determine at what price rising demand and market price will meet. This rapidly rising marginal cost of production is what Peak Oil looks like. Peak Oil is going to happen because marginal cost will go too high for the world economy to afford to pay what it takes to boost production. At that point oil production will start falling."

We understand why caveman may have believed this (with all due respect to cavemen), but why does this myth still persist today? Just think of the implications: Most geese winter in the southern U. S. That would mean all our hummingbirds would have to get off and transfer to the duck-express in order to travel further south, since most of our breeding hummingbirds winter in Mexico and Central America. Geese don't migrate early enough - they're still way north in the Arctic when hummers should be already south, sipping tropical nectar cocktails. They would turn into hummer-sicles waiting on geese!Assuming there are more hummingbirds than geese, each goose would have to carry many hummingbirds. How would the hummers sort out who gets shot-gun? Geese don't stop-over in patches of flowering plants during migration, so what's a hummingbird to eat? Even when you're riding in a car, you still get hungry. Hummingbird 7-Elevens would be popping-up everywhere."

If you saw a hibernating animal you might think it was dead. Sleeping all winter takes preparation and animals that hibernate begin preparing for it in the fall.

Lots of animals hibernate, including some bats, ground squirrels and some other rodents, mouse lemurs, many insectivores, monotremes, some snakes, and marsupials. What about bears? There is some discussion as to whether the most famous hibernator, the bear, actually hibernates. While a bear is denning, its heart rate, breathing rate, and metabolic rate do slow down."

Regards Harlan Rice Topreply August 7, 2007 - 2:09pm #2Robert Harris animals role in the ecosystem. Hi Harlan,The Polar Bear is currently the top preditor above the Brooks Range in the Arctic and feeds primarily on seals. Polar Bears will also scavenge other dead sea animals such as whales. The Arctic fox is primarily a scavenger and will also feed on bird eggs, nestlings, voles and ground squirrels. It is hard to predict what will happen if the Arctic continues to warm. Grizzly Bears and red foxes have been seen duing the summer north of the Brooks range. These are potential competitors for the Polar Bear and Arctic Fox. If the ice breaks up earlier it is possible that more Polar Bears and Arctic foxes will be found on land instead of the ice."

"text": "\"Energy and Metabolism Scientists use the term bioenergetics to discuss the concept of energy flow ( [link]) through living systems, such as cells. Cellular processes such as the building and breaking down of complex molecules occur through stepwise chemical reactions. Some of these chemical reactions are spontaneous and release energy, whereas others require energy to proceed. Just as living things must continually consume food to replenish what has been used, cells must continually produce more energy to replenish that used by the many energy-requiring chemical reactions that constantly take place. All of the chemical reactions that take place inside cells, including those that use energy and those that release energy, are the cell’s metabolism. Most life forms on earth get their energy from the sun. Plants use photosynthesis to capture sunlight, and herbivores eat those plants to obtain energy. Carnivores eat the herbivores, and decomposers digest plant and animal matter. Metabolism of Carbohydrates The metabolism of sugar (a simple carbohydrate) is a classic example of the many cellular processes that use and produce energy. Living things consume sugar as a major energy source, because sugar molecules have a great deal of energy stored within their bonds."

Here is an A to Z guide to the deadly diseases your pets can catch from pests—with suggestions for disease prevention. Distemper Distemper kills more dogs than any other disease. About 5 to 15 days after a dog is exposed to the distemper virus, it develops a runny noses, mucus-filled eyes, and general lack of appetite and energy. Thick, gooey, yellow mucus are the classic signs of distemper and sign that you need to take your dog to the vet right away. Distemper may also cause diarrhea, dry cough, and blisters on the dog’s stomach. If your dog has a healthy immune system, he or she may survive the first stage of distemper and go on to lead a healthy life. If your dog has an overactive immune system, however, several months later immune reactions to the virus may affect the brain, causing drooling, slobbering, and seizures. The dog may also develop redness and inflammation around the eyes, pneumonia, and thickened paw pads."

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

Either way, it is pretty basic and you shouldn't have much trouble reading this material or the associated material in the text. Roles of Organisms Organisms can be either producers or consumers in terms of energy flow through an ecosystem. Producers convert energy from the environment into carbon bonds, such as those found in the sugar glucose. Plants are the most obvious examples of producers; plants take energy from sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide into glucose (or other sugars). Algae and cyanobacteria are also photosynthetic producers, like plants. Other producers include bacteria living around deep-sea vents. These bacteria take energy from chemicals coming from the Earth's interior and use it to make sugars."

Page 1 of 21 2 Next >acosta Memberfrom around El Paso, TXHello everyone, I really enjoy the enormous amounts of information I find on the HAMB, but I always feel guilty after I learn so much and don't contribute anything in return. Well, I'm not sure how helpful this will be to the general reader, but maybe someday somebody will find this worthwhile. My El Camino has a bad engine. My good buddy Dan offered me use of his \"\"spare\"\" 327 (he's that kind of guy, and on the HAMB-- go figure), so I'm in the process of a transplant. Today I thought I could get the new motor in place and put the hood back on, as we are expecting rain tomorrow-- but I ran into some problems mounting the starter. Do my neighbors tell me this is unacceptable? No. Would I blame them if they did? No."

What Are the Symptoms of a Bad Starter Motor on a Riding Mower Engine? My Riding Lawn Mower Won't Turn Over The mowing season has arrived, the grass has grown, so you climb on your trusty lawn-mowing steed, and turn the button. Silence. You could be facing one or a few problems with the electrical starting system on your riding lawnmower. Most common electrical problems can be found in an improperly charged or bad battery, loose or corroded wires, or electrical connectors and faulty electrical components, such as a starter solenoid. The major components that fail on electrical starter motors are the springs, magnets and brushes that contact the wire, providing the electromagnetic turning force of the engine starter. Battery When diagnosing engine starter problems, always start with the battery because without adequate electricity the engine starter problem cannot be diagnosed. A properly charged battery is key to a properly operating riding lawnmower starting, charging and electrical system. Charge the lawnmower battery fully with a 6 amp battery charger before performing any diagnostic tests on the engine starter motor and related components."

What does it do? It’s a small electrical motor powered by the vehicles battery and used to start the engine in your Ford or Holden vehicle. It works as a low-geared electrical motor that is able to turn over a much larger engine due to its extreme gearing reduction. The starter motor is the main part of your engine starting system in your vehicle that includes the starter motor, a starter solenoid and the vehicle battery. When your ignition switch is activated it starts your vehicle, it sends an electrical charge to the starter solenoid. Just a note here, the solenoid in some cases can be mounted with your starter motor or be located elsewhere in your vehicle. The solenoid sends a charge to the starter motor that turns the engine over until it fires into life. Once the engine starts, the starter motor gear drops out and disengages your engine starter ring.

While most everything on the engine was new, the original 1969-spec starter was reused. When the engine is cold, our old starter cranks without issue, but when the engine is hot, the starter struggles. We wanted to install a new/modern-style starter, but weren’t sure what attributes were really needed. Available from the aftermarket are a variety of options, including high-torque, gear-reduction, and different varieties of “mini” starters. What would be the best choice for our 10.5:1 compression ratio 383? We began our quest for knowledge with the experts at Powermaster, a company that offers a wide variety of starter styles from which to choose. We first asked them what factors one should consider when buying a starter, then moved on to discussing problems that can affect starter performance. In addition, we also spoke with American Autowire to learn of wiring issues that can affect starter operation. Read the two Q&A sections and then follow along as Car Craft highlights aspects of the installation of a new Powermaster XS Torque starter."

"text": "Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Starter Relay Common signs include the vehicle not starting, starter staying on after the engine started, intermittent issues starting, and a clicking sound.by Timothy Charlet on January 12, 2016Share Tweet Pin One of the most important – and most forgotten – components of any vehicle's ignition system is the starter relay. This electrical part is designed to redirect power from the battery to the starter solenoid, which then activates the starter to spin over the engine. The proper activation of this process allows the ignition switch's circuit to complete, which will permit you to shut the vehicle off when you turn the key off. Although it's unlikely that you'll ever experience a problem with the starter relay, it is prone to mechanical failure and will need to be replaced by a professional mechanic if it wears out. Most of today's modern cars and trucks have an electronic ignition switch that is activated by remote key. This key has an electronic chip embedded that links up with the computer on your vehicle and allows the ignition button to activate. There are times when this type of key will impact the operation of the starter relay and display similar warning signs as if this system is damaged. Listed below are a few of the symptoms of a damaged or worn out starter relay. If you notice these warning signs, make sure you contact a local ASE certified mechanic to completely inspect your vehicle as these symptoms might indicate problems with other components.1. Vehicle does not start The most obvious warning sign that a problem with the starter relay exists is when the vehicle won't start when you engage the ignition process."

Share this conversation Answered in 7 minutes by: 3/27/2010Jeep Mechanic: quickcar Hello, the average cost to replace a starter which is the way to go is around $ 300 with parts and labor. If that's what he's charging for everything I'd say it's reasonable. The reason I'd suggest replacing the starter as a unit and not just the solenoid is that it's not worth taking the chance that there might also be a problem with the starter motor itself. Ask Your Own Jeep Questiondoes a starter kit then include the solenoid? i.e., if i ask him to replace the starter, does the solenoid get replaced as well by definition?

This is a really broad range of prices, probably too broad to really give an answer that’s useful for you, but I’ll do my best. Parts: Radiator & Cap: I’ve seen radiators as cheap as $85 and as much as $700. Lower and Upper Radiator Hose & four Clamps: When you replace a radiator, it’s standard to change the hoses as well. They run anywhere from $5 for a straight piece of hose to $80 for weird custom-molded hoses, and there are two hoses. ( The diagram above doesn’t show the upper hose.)"

I posted awhile ago concerning my auto transmission (see subject \"\"Transmission problem??\"\" - around Jan 2005). Ultimately, I had to get the Transmission control module replaced for $800 (600 in parts, 200 in labor). No I don't have warranty (although Im not convinced my parts would be covered anyways). The problem: The transmission seems to be stuck in 3rd or 4th gear (low torque at low speeds, engine rpm up to 4 to 4.5 K at high speeds). To me, the problem feels exactly the same as it was earlier this year, which was fixed with a new transmission control module. According to the service department, the problem is different and now mechanical (even though they can't exactly tell what is wrong with the thing). Bottom line - they want to replace the transmission with a new \"\"used\"\" part. Any advice?"

"text": "\"Types of Characters in Fiction\"\"What does characterization do for a story? In a nutshell, it allows us to empathize with the protagonist and secondary characters, and thus feel that what is happening to these people in the story is vicariously happening to us; and it also gives us a sense of verisimilitude, or the semblance of living reality. An important part of characterization is dialogue, for it is both spoken and inward dialogue that afford us the opportunity to see into the characters' hearts and examine their motivations. In the best of stories, it is actually characterization that moves the story along, because a compelling character in a difficult situation creates his or her own plot. \"\" Karen Bernardo, Characterization in Literature In fictional literature, authors use many different types of characters to tell their stories. Different types of characters fulfill different roles in the narrative process, and with a little bit of analysis, you can usually detect some or all of the types below. Major or central characters are vital to the development and resolution of the conflict. In other words, the plot and resolution of conflict revolves around these characters. Minor characters serve to complement the major characters and help move the plot events forward. Dynamic - A dynamic character is a person who changes over time, usually as a result of resolving a central conflict or facing a major crisis."

"text": "\"Story and Narrative Paradigms in Role-Playing Games By John Kim < [email protected] >Traditional narrative terms -- such as plot, theme, and story -- are often used to describe role-playing game (RPG) play. However, RPGs are also fundamentally different from narrative forms like books and film. The result is that trying to discuss \"\"story\"\" in RPGs leads to a quagmire of jumbled assumptions. I think a formal analysis can shed some light on this issue, by breaking down exactly what \"\"story\"\" means in books and films, and then applying that to RPGs. I use the specific cases of books and film, referred to as \"\"static narrative\"\". What distinguishes these forms is that the author or authors create a product in a fixed physical form that is later viewed by an audience. There are more interactive narrative forms like theater and oral storytelling, but to focus the topic I do not cover them here. In my formal approach, I also am considering only mainstream tabletop RPG play, which are the dominant form of RPG in terms of books sold. Based on a comparison of these, I find not one but two separate meanings for what \"\"story\"\" can mean in RPGs. These are what I call two narrative paradigms."

"text": "Romeo: Static Character Topics: Romeo and Juliet, Characters in Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio Pages: 2 (476 words)Published: May 2, 2011Throughout the play we see that Romeo’s impulsive decisions land him in onerous situations. His capricious behavior is demonstrated through his rash love when he immediately moves on, without remorse or second thoughts, from Rosaline to Juliet whom he falls in love with instantly after laying eyes on her. Prior to seeing Juliet, Romeo talks about his infatuation with Rosaline, and the torment he suffers when he finds she does not love him back. Upon searching for her at the Capulet’s party, sees Juliet, when he says, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night,” (i. V.51). His immediate transition between lovers proves that his love for Juliet was impulsive and irrational. When Romeo hears of Juliet’s death, he says to himself, “Well Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. Let’s see for means.” ( V.i.34)."

The function-call mechanism in Java supports this possibility, which is known as recursion . Your first recursive program. The \"\"Hello, World\"\" for recursion is the factorial function, which is defined for positive integers n by the equation n! = n × ( n − 1) × ( n − 2) × … × 2 × 1 The quantity n! is easy to compute with a for loop, but an even easier method in Factorial.java is to use the following recursive function:public static long factorial (int n) { if (n == 1) return 1; return n * factorial (n-1); }We can trace this computation in precisely the same way that we trace any sequence of function calls.factorial (5) factorial (4) factorial (3) factorial (2) factorial (1) return 1 return 2*1 = 2 return 3*2 = 6 return 4*6 = 24 return 5*24 = 120Our factorial () implementation exhibits the two main components that are required for every recursive function. The base case returns a value without making any subsequent recursive calls. It does this for one or more special input values for which the function can be evaluated without recursion. For factorial (), the base case is n = 1. The reduction step is the central part of a recursive function."

There are two ways to pass source code file names to javac: For a small number of source files, simply list the file names on the command line. For a large number of source files, list the file names in a file, separated by blanks or line breaks. Then use the list file name on the javac command line, preceded by an @ character.

In my (probably naive) view, there was no need to violate interfaces like this. Interfaces have always been a contract you must fulfill, and this is a very simple and pure concept. Now it is a mix of several things. In my opinion:static methods do not belong to interfaces. They belong to utility classes. \"\" default\"\" methods shouldn't have been allowed in interfaces at all. You could always use an abstract class for this purpose. In short: Before Java 8: You could use abstract and regular classes to provide static and default methods."

Share on Linked In Share on google Plus Share on facebook Share on twitter Share by email Leadership, an act or series of acts that moves people in a certain direction can no longer be displayed by a lone, heroic individual. Instead, as this author writes, we need to recognize that leadership can come from anyone who displays leadership as an occasional, discrete act of influence. Yes a leader must provide direction, but the person at the top isn’t the only person who can provide it. The ideal leader has vision, charisma, integrity, emotional intelligence, an inspiring delivery and sterling character. But if there are leaders who don’t fit this image, then we cannot use our ideal to define leadership in general. Here are some leaders who don’t match our ideal: The teenage gang leader who has “street cred”, is tough and prepared to defy the law, even if it means shooting his way out of trouble. Stalin, admired by some Russians who like tough leaders, even if ruthless. Technical leaders, whose new product ideas induce change even if they have no vision, an abrasive style and little emotional intelligence."

"text": "\"Sign In Sign-Up Home Modular Programming Modular programming can be used to break up a large program into manageable units, or to create code that can be easily re-used. A modular program consists of a main module and one or more auxiliary modules. Each module originates from a separate source code file. The main module is compiled as an EXE, and calls functions in the auxiliary modules. The auxiliary modules can be dynamically linked, meaning they exist as separate executable files (DLLs) which are loaded when the main EXE is run; or they can be statically linked, meaning they are compiled as object files or static libraries (LIBs) that are combined with the main module into a single executable file. Once you have learned how to create an executable file from an XBasic source program, it is easy to extend the procedure to make dynamically linked modules and (a little less easily) statically linked modules. There are, however, a few rules that must be followed when writing the source code for the auxiliary modules. Each module must have a unique name, assigned in the PROGRAM statement. This name must be the same as the file name of the source code, minus the .x extension. For example, the source code auxiliary.x must have the statement PROGRAM \"\"auxiliary\"\" in the PROLOG. ("

All through the code I wrote used quite a good number of statics. I was asked by the senior technical lot to cut down on the number of statics used. I've googled about the same, and I find that many programmers are fairly against using static variables. I find static variables more convenient to use. And I presume that they are efficient too (please correct me if I am wrong), because if I had to make 10,000 calls to a function within a class, I would be glad to make the method static and use a straightforward Class.method Call () on it instead of cluttering the memory with 10,000 instances of the class, right?

Apache/nginx need to be configured to recognize the URLs that users will be requesting and route them to the right place. So, for example, with a typical PHP site (like a Wordpress blog) you tell Apache that any file that ends with .php should be interpreted as PHP code, so when the user visits \"\"http://myblog.com/tag.php?q=mytag\"\", for example, Apache will launch the PHP interpreter to read the file and process it into an HTML page.

This has nothing to do with names.

The first section also presents neural and mechanical (length-tension-angle relationships, force-velocity relationships, elasticity-force relationships, and architectural design) factors that influence force development. The second portion of the chapter deals with muscular fatigue, including the most likely causes of fatigue to various categories of activity, and muscle soreness. Methods of assessing muscular strength are presented in the third section of the chapter. The influence of age and sex on muscular function is detailed in the fourth portion of the chapter. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the role of genetics in determining an individual ’s strength or response to a strength training program.

When a Senate minority defeated a treaty to annex Texas, President John Tyler was able to bring about annexation in 1845 by encouraging passage of a joint resolutionâa move that required only a majority vote in each house. In 1898, President William McKinley used the same tactic to annex Hawaii.\"\" Use the passage to answer the question. 6. What does this excerpt illustrate about the process of approving treaties? The treaty-making process must be followed exactly as described in the Constitution. A treaty is not the only tool a President can use to make agreements with other countries. The treaty-making process is usually controlled by a Senate minority. A treaty can be approved by the House of Representatives instead of the Senate. âCongress has not declared war since World War II. On eight occasions since then, however, it has enacted joint resolutions to authorize the President to meet certain international crises with military force.â Use the passage to answer the question. 7. Which is the strongest conclusion that can be drawn based on this statement? Congress and the President are often in conflict about when to declare war. Congress and the President do everything they can to avoiding using military force. The Constitution is flexible enough to allow Congress and the President to meet crises in a number of ways.

"text": "\"Middle School History 7 points“At times, a President has had to turn to roundabout methods in order to achieve his [treaty] goals. When a Senate minority defeated a treaty to annex Texas, President John Tyler was able to bring about annexation in 1845 by encouraging passage of a joint resolution—a move that required only a majority vote in each house. In 1898, President William Mc Kinley used the same tactic to annex Hawaii.\"\" Use the passage to answer the question. 6. What does this excerpt illustrate about the process of approving treaties? The treaty-making process must be followed exactly as described in the Constitution. A treaty is not the only tool a President can use to make agreements with other countries. The treaty-making process is usually controlled by a Senate minority. A treaty can be approved by the House of Representatives instead of the Senate. “"

However, a range of other international and national nature conservation and landscape designations exist in the UK. This directory covers the main designations which exist in the UK, split into those that confer some form of statutory protection, and other designations. For each designation there is a short description outlining its purpose and the level of protection afforded to it, along with details of who is responsible for establishing the sites, and further sources of information. Site designations that protect the UK's natural heritage through statute Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs)In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the primary purpose of the AONB designation is to conserve natural beauty – which by statute includes wildlife, physiographic features and cultural heritage as well as the more conventional concepts of landscape and scenery. Account is taken of the need to safeguard agriculture, forestry and other rural industries and the economic and social needs of local communities. AONBs have equivalent status to National Parks as far as conservation is concerned. AONBs are designated under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, amended in the Environment Act 1995. The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 clarifies the procedure and purpose of designating AONBs.

"text": "\"Ireland: Compensation For Loss Of Office – Board Members Beware!Last Updated: 4 March 2014 Article by Séamus Given and Michael Doyle Arthur Cox Most Read Contributor in Ireland, March 2018The recent controversies over exit packages paid to former Chief Executives has called into question the duties and responsibilities of Board directors who approve exit packages for departing directors. In this article we focus on sometimes forgotten provisions of the Companies Acts that govern the payment of termination payments to Board members. Section 186 of the Companies Act 1963 (\"\"Section 186\"\"), in conjunction with Section 189 (3), provides that compensation for loss of office as director or, while director, of any other office in connection with the management of a company's affairs (except any bona fide payment by way of damages for breach of contract or by way of pension in respect of past services) is unlawful, unless it is pre-approved by the shareholders of the company in general meeting. Failure to ensure compliance with Section 186 could leave Board members exposed, on a joint and several basis, to the company in respect of any payments made in breach of the section. SECTION 186 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 1963Section 186 provides as follows:-\"\"Approval of company necessary for payment by it to director for loss of office It shall not be lawful for a company to make to any director of the company any payment by way of compensation for loss of office, or as consideration for or in connection with his retirement from office, without particulars relating to the proposed payment (including the amount thereof) being disclosed to the members of the company and the proposal being approved by the company in general meeting. \"\" Section 189 (3) of the Companies Act 1963 provides as follows:-\"\"It is hereby declared that references in sections 186, 187 and 188 to payments to any director of a company by way of compensation for loss of office, or as consideration for or in connection with his retirement from office, include payments to him by way of compensation for loss of office as director of the company or for the loss, while director of the company, or on or in connection with his ceasing to be a director of the company, of any other office in connection with the management of the company's affairs or of any office as director or otherwise in connection with the management of the affairs of any subsidiary company but do not include any bona fide payment by way of damages for breach of contract or by way of pension in respect of past services, and for the purposes of this subsection \"\"pension\"\" includes any superannuation allowance, superannuation gratuity or similar payment. \"\" These sections, when read together, relate to any payments of compensation for loss (including retirement):of office as Director, orwhile a Director or on or in connection with ceasing to be a Director, of any other office in connection with the management of the company's affairs. In other words, Section 189 (3) brings under the ambit of Section 186 payments by way of compensation for loss of a management office (e.g. the post of CEO or Finance Director) where the individual losing that office is also a director of the company. Section 186 exists to protect members of a company from the company's directors. The section recognises an inherent conflict of interest where directors propose making a payment as compensation for loss of office to one of their number."

S.) Child abuse Domestic violence Incest Child-sellingv t e Common-law marriage, also known as sui iuris marriage, informal marriage, marriage by habit and repute, or marriage in fact, is a legal framework in a limited number of jurisdictions where a couple is legally considered married, without that couple having formally registered their relation as a civil or religious marriage. The original concept of a \"\"common-law marriage\"\" is a marriage that is considered valid by both partners, but has not been formally recorded with a state or religious registry, or celebrated in a formal religious service. In effect, the act of the couple representing themselves to others as being married, and organizing their relation as if they were married, acts as the evidence that they are married. The term common-law marriage has wide informal use, often to denote relations that are not legally recognized as common-law marriages. The term common-law marriage is often used colloquially or by the media to refer to cohabiting couples, regardless of any legal rights that these couples may or may not have, which can create public confusion both in regard to the term and in regard to the legal rights of unmarried partners.

Although these interpersonal relationships are often called \"\"common-law marriage\"\" they differ from true common-law marriage, in that they are not legally recognized as \"\"marriages\"\", but are a parallel interpersonal status, known in most jurisdictions as \"\"domestic partnership\"\", \"\"registered partnership\"\", \"\"conjugal union\"\", \"\"civil union\"\", etc. In Canada, for instance, while couples in \"\"marriage-like relationships\"\" may have many of the rights and responsibilities of a marriage (laws vary by province), couples in such partnerships are not legally considered married, although they may be legally defined as \"\"unmarried spouses\"\" and for many purposes (such as taxes, financial claims, etc.) they are treated as if they were married. [ 2] [3] In recent years, the term common-law marriage has gained increased use as a generic term for all unmarried couples – however, this term has a narrow legal meaning."

Mandatory reporting is a term used to describe the legislative requirement for selected groups of people to report suspected cases of child abuse and neglect to government authorities. Parliaments in all Australian states and territories have enacted mandatory reporting laws of some description. However, the laws are not the same across all jurisdictions. The main differences concern who has to report and what types of abuse and neglect have to be reported. There are also other differences, such as the \"\"state of mind\"\" that activates the reporting duty (i.e., having a concern, suspicion or belief on reasonable grounds - see Table 1) and the destination of the report. This sheet focuses on the major differences and features of state and territory laws regarding who must report and what must be reported.

In some cases, a similar effect can be achieved by a reduction of capital without a court order. At one time it was completely prohibited for a company to buy its own shares. Now buy-backs are permitted subject to quite restrictive and detailed rules. The problem with companies buying their own shares is that, if completely unrestricted, there is a danger that creditors (and potential creditors) may be misled as to the size of the company's capital. This is part of the wider area of maintenance of capital. Under the Companies Act 2006 a new procedure for the reduction of capital without a court order was introduced, which will sometimes be used rather than a buy back. This is a very technical area.

"text": "\"Feb152005The War Powers Resolution: An Unnecessary, Unconstitutional Source of \"\"Friendly Fire\"\" in the War Against International Terrorism? Sponsors: International & National Security Law Practice Group Robert F. Turner By Professor Robert F. Turner The conventional wisdom, at least until recently, was that our tragic misadventure in Indochina was a result of presidential usurpation of the power of Congress to \"\"declare War,\"\" and the 1973 War Powers Resolution was the necessary legislative remedy to guard against future encroachment and protect the American people from presidential adventurism. The argument made sense to a lot of people in 1973, but it is not supported by the facts. The time has come to reexamine the proper constitutional role of Congress concerning the sending of U. S. armed forces into harms way, to reassess the rationale behind this controversial statute, and for Congress to consider anew the utility of a statute that even former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell has declared to be unconstitutional and harmful to the security interests of the United States. This is all the more important in the light of the current war against international terrorism, as the War Powers Resolution has played a fundamental role in encouraging the killing of hundreds of American troops in the past and endangers the safety of both military and civilians alike in the current struggle. Congress recently enacted a collection of new authorities and repealed several statutory provisions recognized to hamper unnecessarily the war against terrorism, but that job may not be finished. Background and Overview The War Powers Resolution was enacted over a presidential veto as Public Law 93-148 on November 7, 1973. Its alleged purpose was: [T]o fulfill the intent of the framers of the Constitution of the United States and insure that the collective judgment of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and to the continued use of such forces in hostilities or in such situations. [ 1]The statute consists of ten sections. Section 3 requires the President \"\"in every possible instance\"\" to \"\"consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances,\"\" and regularly thereafter until the forces are removed or hostilities cease."

"text": "You are here: Home > Housing > Renting a home > If your landlord wants you to leave If your landlord wants you to leave Introduction Terminating a tenancy Notice of termination Notice periods Illegal eviction Where to apply Introduction The law on residential tenancies requires private landlords and approved housing bodies (housing associations) to follow certain procedures before asking a tenant to leave rented accommodation. They must also give the tenant a minimum amount of notice, depending on how long the tenancy has lasted. Residential tenancies legislation The Residential Tenancies Act 2004 set out the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants and introduced detailed rules governing residential tenancies. It introduced the concept of Part 4 rights, to provide security of tenure to tenants who are in a tenancy for between 6 months and 4 years. It also detailed the required notice periods and the form that a notice of termination must take. The Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Act 2015 amended the 2004 Act. It increased the required notice periods for terminating tenancies of 5 years or over – see ‘Notice periods’ below - and brought housing association tenancies under the remit of the Private Residential Tenancies Board, which is now the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB). The 2015 Act also requires landlords to provide extra documentation when terminating a tenancy in certain situations - see ‘Notice of termination’ below. The Law Reform Commission has produced a consolidated version of the 2004 Act as of 9 May 2016, incorporating all amendments in effect on that date. Recent changes The Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016 contains several amendments to the residential tenancies legislation."

"text": "Nevada Water Law 101Overview Nevada’s first water law was passed in 1866 and has been amended many times since then. Today, the law serves the people of Nevada by providing the rules for applying for and holding onto a water right, as well as guidelines for the state engineer in managing the state’s valuable water resources. Nevada water law has the flexibility to accommodate new and growing uses of water in Nevada while protecting those who have used the water in the past. All water within the boundaries of the state, whether above or beneath the surface of the ground, belongs to the public and is subject to appropriation for beneficial uses. Nevada water law is based on two basic principles: prior appropriation and beneficial use. Prior appropriation – also known as “first in time, first in right” – allows for the orderly use of the state’s water resources by granting priority to senior water rights in times of shortage. This concept ensures senior water users are protected, even as new uses for water are allocated. A water right permit may only be granted for beneficial uses as provided in Chapters 533 and 534 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Examples of beneficial uses include irrigation, mining, stock watering, recreation, commercial, industrial, and municipal uses. Beneficial use also includes the underlying principle of the appropriative rights system of water allocation, known as “use it or lose it.”"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Surface condenser A surface condenser is a commonly used term for a water-cooled shell and tube heat exchanger installed on the exhaust steam from a steam turbine in thermal power stations. [ 1] [2] [3] These condensers are heat exchangers which convert steam from its gaseous to its liquid state at a pressure below atmospheric pressure. Where cooling water is in short supply, an air-cooled condenser is often used. An air-cooled condenser is however, significantly more expensive and cannot achieve as low a steam turbine exhaust pressure (and temperature) as a water-cooled surface condenser. Surface condensers are also used in applications and industries other than the condensing of steam turbine exhaust in power plants.

Why it is required [ edit]The steam turbine itself is a device to convert the heat in steam to mechanical power. The difference between the heat of steam per unit mass at the inlet to the turbine and the heat of steam per unit mass at the outlet from the turbine represents the heat which is converted to mechanical power. Therefore, the more the conversion of heat per pound or kilogram of steam to mechanical power in the turbine, the better is its efficiency. By condensing the exhaust steam of a turbine at a pressure below atmospheric pressure, the steam pressure drop between the inlet and exhaust of the turbine is increased, which increases the amount of heat available for conversion to mechanical power."

In some instances, a trap’s inlet steam pressure may be sufficient to overcome system backpressure, but in many installations the differential pressure is negative and requires a pump to transfer condensate to a recovery area. Using Trap Inlet Pressure When differential pressure is positive, transporting condensate to the collection tank can be done by simply using the inlet pressure to steam trap as the driving force. This recovery method is the lowest in cost and usually the most reliable. Since no special equipment is required, it is relatively easy to implement and should be the first choice option, whenever possible. There are two different types of installations where recovery can be done by using trap inlet pressure: Gravity Returns Elevated Returns with Positive Pressure Differential Gravity Return The basic equipment needed is just a steam trap and transport piping because the differential pressure is always positive from downward drainage by gravity to an atmospheric system or vessel. Condensate Recovery Using Steam Trap Inlet Pressure Flash Player is needed to view TLV product animations If the differential pressure across a steam trap is positive, then condensate can be transported and recovered with a very simple, reliable, and low cost installation. Elevated Return It is possible for a steam trap to discharge overhead to an elevated return provided that the differential pressure remains positive and appropriate site safety standards are followed. A typical example is the draining of condensate from steam traps installed on main utility steam lines. As vertical and horizontal distances increase, the system backpressure will also increase."

However, not all steam is the same. The properties of steam vary greatly depending on the pressure and temperature to which it is subject. In the article Principal Applications for Steam, we discussed several applications in which steam is used. In the sections that follow, we will discuss the types of steam used in these applications. Pressure-Temperature Relationship of Water & Steam Click on a word to view animation. Saturated (dry) steam results when water is heated to the boiling point (sensible heating) and then vaporized with additional heat (latent heating). If this steam is then further heated above the saturation point, it becomes superheated steam (sensible heating). Saturated Steam (Dry)As indicated by the black line in the above graph, saturated steam occurs at temperatures and pressures where steam (gas) and water (liquid) can coexist. In other words, it occurs when the rate of water vaporization is equal to the rate of condensation."

"text": "Steam turbines A steam turbine consists of a rotor resting on bearings and enclosed in a cylindrical casing. The rotor is turned by steam impinging against attached vanes or blades on which it exerts a force in the tangential direction. Thus a steam turbine could be viewed as a complex series of windmill-like arrangements, all assembled on the same shaft. Because of its ability to develop tremendous power within a comparatively small space, the steam turbine has superseded all other prime movers, except hydraulic turbines, for generating large amounts of electricity and for providing propulsive power for large, high-speed ships. Today, units capable of generating more than 1.3 million kilowatts of power can be mounted on a single shaft. Classifications Large steam turbines are complex machines that can be classified in various ways. One approach centres on whether rotation is achieved by impulse forces or by reaction forces ( see below ). This distinction may become somewhat blurred, since many modern machines employ a combination of both methods. Condensing and noncondensing turbines Steam turbines are often divided into two types: condensing and noncondensing. In devices of the first type, steam is condensed at below atmospheric pressure so as to gain the maximum amount of energy from it."

By Elizabeth Palermo, Associate Editor | March 19, 2014 01:13am ETMOREThe steam engine facilitated major advancements in the fields of mining, manufacturing, agriculture and transportation. Credit: Baptist | Shutterstock In a world propelled by combustion engines, gas turbines and nuclear reactors, the steam engine may seem like a relic of the past. But without this game-changing invention, the modern world would be a much different place. Arguably the most important development of the Industrial Revolution, the steam engine facilitated major advancements in the fields of mining, manufacturing, agriculture and transportation. And while several prominent figures of the 18th and 19th centuries are credited with developing and improving the steam engine, the history of steam-powered machines actually goes back nearly 2,000 years before the Industrial Revolution. Ancient steam turbines Early in the first century A. D., a Greek inventor named Hero of Alexandria designed the world's first aeolipile, or primitive steam turbine. Heron's aeolipile consisted of a hollow sphere, mounted on a pair of tubes. Heated from below by fire, the tubes transported steam to the sphere, where it was released through another series of tubes projecting from the sphere's equator. This movement of steam through the device caused the sphere to revolve, demonstrating the potential for using steam as a means of propulsion."

Hygroscopic Cycle test plant In 2012 IMASA, Engineering and Projects, S. A. ( www.imasa.com ), acquired the rights to take advantage of the technology. The company's innovation IBERGY ( www.ibergy.com) led by Rubio himself with José Luis Barrientos Reguera and Carlos Pérez Rivero, is developing all the chemical salt studies and the equipment for the benefit of the cycle. It is a power cycle working with hygroscopic compounds which optimize the output steam of a condensing turbine, and can work under high vacuum at the output thereof and good refrigeration conditions. In short, the condensation temperature at a given pressure in the condenser is increased. The Hygroscopic Cycle is a power cycle working with water and hygroscopic compounds, which must have the following features: They have to be hygroscopic compounds, deliquescent materials. Must be less volatile than water and easily separable, that retention may be reversible and the steam can be easily desorbed. Must be chemically stable at the pressures and temperatures of steam cycle work to which it will be subjected. No toxic or flammable fluids are advised. The Hygroscopic Cycle incorporates physical and chemical principles of absorption machines with the aim to provide to Rankine cycle higher performance and better cooling."

What makes it so important? Why is it all the more important in a Supercritical unit? Boiler water quality has long been an important factor in the operation of boilers. As the power plant operating pressures increase, water quality requirements also become stricter. With the current units operating at Supercritical pressures, the requirements are tough. Continuous improvements and changes in the methods of maintaining water quality, understanding the corrosion mechanisms, and the development of new chemicals have resulted in a more economical and efficient water regime management. Four Reasons Why Boiler Water Treatment is Important There are four main reasons why water quality is so important. Impurities in water form scales. Water contains dissolved salts, which upon evaporation of water forms scales on the heat transfer surfaces."

It seems so simple; you get a little cold or hot, you bump your thermostat up or down; your family gets hungry, you grab food from your refrigerator and heat it up in the microwave, or cook a meal on your flat top stove; stressful day at work, you jump into a hot tub of water; need to know what’s going on in the world, you grab the remote and turn on the TV. But how does power get to your home? It’s a complicated process that has many steps, watch the video, The Path of Electricity, or you can learn more in-depth about each step below. Distribution System Transmission System Power Generation: Coal Natural Gas Hydropower Nuclear Renewables Distribution System Back to Top Substation CAEC purchases energy from our generation and transmission co-op, Power South, which generates or purchases the electricity and transmits it over long distances on transmission lines to distribution utilities, like CAEC. Our substations are the point at which power grid infrastructure becomes distribution. Distribution substations step down the voltage coming in from the transmission lines in order to begin the process of sending power to your home. A lot of work goes into planning new substations or even substation upgrades. CAEC uses long-term forecasting to plan for new substations, which has a direct impact on reliability. When you sign up for service, no matter what your intentions are for that meter, we have to factor in your current and future needs for power into these forecasts."

"text": "Cogeneration describes the simultaneous production of electricity and thermal energy using a single fuel source. Cogeneration, or cogen for short, also called Combined Heat and Power (CHP), consists of a number of components including a prime mover, generator, heat recovery system, and thermal distribution system. Prime movers of cogen systems include reciprocating engines, steam or gas turbines, micro-turbines, and fuel cells. The prime mover is connected to a generator to produce electrical output. Thermal energy can be used directly or indirectly in applications producing steam, hot water, air heating, and chilled water cooling using absorption. In most cogeneration applications, the exhaust gas from the electrical generation production is sent to heat exchangers to recover the thermal energy from the gas. This thermal energy is then used to heat water. The hot water or steam, in turn, is used to provide thermal energy to heat buildings, or to drive equipment such as absorption or steam turbine driven chillers for cooling or dehumidification. Cogeneration systems are used in dual-purpose power plants, waste heat utilization systems, and some types of centralized heating and cooling plants.

A condensing economizer can increase overall heat recovery and steam system efficiency by up to 10 percent by reducing the flue gas temperature below its dew point, resulting in improved effectiveness of waste heat recovery. This article is a companion to one titled “Consider Installing a Condensing Economizer” (Dec. 3, 2007 issue), and it discusses two types of condensing economizer: indirect and direct contact. Figure 1. Indirect contact condensing economizer. ( Click on the image for an enlarged view.) An indirect contact condensing economizer (see Figure 1) removes heat from hot flue gases by passing them through one or more shell-and-tube or tubular heat exchangers. This economizer can heat fluids to a temperature of 200°F while achieving exit gas temperatures as low as 75°F. The indirect contact economizer is able to preheat water to a higher outlet or process supply temperature than the direct contact economizer. The condensing economizer must be designed to withstand corrosion from condensed water vapor produced by the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels such as natural gas or light oils."

"text": "What is Geothermal Power?4000 miles underneath the surface of the earth is incredibly hot. In fact, scientists estimate that it’s over 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit. While this temperature is exceedingly hot, dangerous and must be avoided at any cost, if you took the initiative to drill approximately 3 to 4 miles underneath the surface of the earth, you will come across a hot rock that is a lot less dangerous with a temperature of about 300 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This hot rock can be utilized as a steady source of heat, but would be very costly to harness. Now, while harnessing heat from this rock can be overly costly, other options exist. In other places, just some few hundred feet underneath the earth’s surface, areas exist that have pooled together underground water and this hot rock to generate hot water streams. This water stream is the most economical heat source ( geothermal energy) underneath the earth and can be utilized in a wide range of ways including heating homes, businesses and to power large farms or generate energy for greenhouses. The hot water can also be converted into steam and directed to turn a turbine, which powers a generator to produce electricity. Geothermal energy is energy harnessed from the earth’s internal heat underneath the earth surface. To extract the energy, geothermal wells are drilled into the earth’s crust at a depth of about 3 to 10 km."

To satisfy this need a wide range of energy conversion systems has been developed to optimise the conversion process to the available heat source. Despite over 250 years of development since James Watt's steam engine was first fired up, the best conversion efficiency achieved today is only around 60% for combined cycle steam and gas turbine systems.

A steam turbine power generating plant is the most common type of power plant today. This type of plant converts heat into electricity usually using a boiler, and a turbine to drive an electric generator. Large-scale commercial size systems use steam produced from a variety of sources including nuclear reactions, burning fossil fuels and wastes, and even geothermal energy. The most common fuels used at steam turbine plants to produce steam are coal, oil, and natural gas. The steam boiler is essentially a large tea kettle and the steam turbine acts much like a windmill to turn the generator to make electricity. After the steam passes through the turbine, it is condensed back into water and pumped back into the boiler to be reheated into steam again. This condenser usually uses cool water from a lake, river, or bay or may use a large cooling tower."

Since the Turbine shaft has to rotate freely there has to has some gap between the shaft and the turbine casing, from where either Steam will try to escape out or Atmospheric air will try to sneak in. As you the diagram explains, During turbine start up the gland seal steam has to be given at both the ends, so that condensor be isolated from the atmosphere and Vacuum pulling can be started. But as the turbine started taking load , steam at inlet side will try to come outside due to difference of pressure across the gland seals at that point the gland sealing steam can be stopped to HP end seals and self sealing will be achieved whereas at Low pressure zone the sealing steam has to be maintained always. The middle section of the gland seals are usually (for higher rating turbine) connected to Sealing fan system (gland condenser fan), which sucks air + Steam from the gland seals, and pumped into a heat exchanger where the steam is condensed and thereafter air will be vent out into the atmosphere.40.6k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

Air- Gaseous Releases Nuclear plant gaseous releases fall into the following categories: Water vapor from cooling towers Ventilation exhaust from those buildings that do not have any processes with radioactivity Diesel generator exhaust Gases and steam from the air ejectors, that are in the main steam system Ventilation exhaust from those buildings that do have processes with radioactivity Gases removed from systems having radioactive fluids and gases. The first two release paths are non-radioactive. Often, news photos of nuclear plants tend to focus on the tall (400 foot high) dry cooling towers (e.g. Three Mile Island, Perry). The major effect of these cooling towers is heating of the air around the plant. Warm water vapor is all that is released (unless chemicals are injected for biological treatment). The cooling towers are often required by state and/or federal regulatory agencies to reduce the thermal impact if a river of a lake is the primary cooling source."

Ph DOptometry & Vision Science: February 2001 - Volume 78 - Issue 2 - pp 106-112Articles Abstract Author Information A novel heuristic approach to the well-known representation of the dioptric power in a three-dimensional space is presented. It is shown how this theoretical framework is ideal for discussing the principles of several subjective refraction methods. In particular, this formalism is used to justify the stenopaic slit refraction, the Barnes subjective refraction technique, and the Jackson cross-cylinder procedure. In view of this analysis, some modifications to the traditional procedures are proposed. © 2001 American Academy of Optometry"

"text": "\"The Atomic Difference Between Diamonds and Graphite Posted on February 18, 2014 by Cathy Murphy 1 Comment Everything is made of atoms. Usually these atoms are strongly connected to one another, in an amazing variety of configurations. But atoms are so tiny, how can we possibly understand the structure of matter at the atomic level? You probably have seen pictures of molecules or materials, zoomed in to the atomic level, which show spheres of different colors connected by lines. Structures of sodium chloride (table salt) and penicillin. Image adapted from source In pictures like this, the colored balls represent different kinds of atoms or ions (ions being atoms that have either lost or gained some electrons), one for each color; and the lines represent the chemical bonds that keep the atoms together. After looking at pictures like this, you might wonder – how real is this? Do we really know the three-dimensional position of atoms in a solid substance? And, does it matter how atoms are connected to each other? The Crystal Connection The answer to the first question is: Yes, this is real!"

Interior carpeting is one of the most overlooked aspects of your automobile, even though you step on it every time you get in and out of your car or truck. Few parts can directly affect how comfortable and happy you are with the interior of your vehicle like your carpet can. A bad carpet can ruin the overall appearance of your car or truck, reduce its worth, and stress you out while driving. A new auto carpet will revitalize your interior and improve the level of satisfaction you have with your vehicle. In addition to providing aesthetic benefits, auto carpet also provides functional benefits as well. Automotive carpeting covers the metal floor pans in your vehicle, and is held down by gravity, the seats, console, and all the trim around the edges. Without carpeting, the floor pans of the vehicle would be exposed, which in addition to not being very desirable to look at, would also not protect them from the elements and the people who get in and out of the vehicle, and the potential rust, mold, and mildew that could develop as a result of an exposed and dirty metal floor. Carpet also makes the vehicle less hazardous to occupants by covering any sharp surfaces on the floor of the car or truck. The interior carpet in your automobile also helps to reduce the vibration and noise that comes from your vehicle when you drive, especially at high speeds, making your drive a bit smoother."

"text": "Properties of Waves and Light In many cases, the properties of light can be explained as a wave, as was shown in Young’s double-slit experiment. Learning Objectives Discuss how wave motion arises and its measurable properties, noting the conclusions of Young’s double slit experiment Key Takeaways Key Points Wave motion arises when a periodic disturbance of some kind is propagated through an elastic medium. Pressure variations through air, transverse motions along a guitar string, or variations in the intensities of the local electric and magnetic fields in space, known as electromagnetic radiation, are all examples of waves. There are three measurable properties of wave motion: amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. A definitive experiment was Young’s double slit experiment, which demonstrated that light shined at two slits in a screen show an interference pattern characteristic of waves of light, rather than particles. The phase associated with a wave is also important in describing certain phenomena. The velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength and the frequency. Key Termsamplitude: The maximum value of the variable reached in either direction.wave: A shape that alternatively varies between a maximum in two opposite directions.frequency: The number of vibrations per second.wavelength: The distance traveled by the wave in a full period (1/frequency). In this section, we will focus on the wave-like properties of light. While you will later learn about wave/particle duality (how light behaves as both a wave and a particle at the same time), here we shall discuss the wave nature of light and the experimental effects of this behavior."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Diffraction pattern of red laser beam made on a plate after passing through a small circular aperture in another plate Diffraction refers to various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or a slit. It is defined as the bending of light around the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle. In classical physics, the diffraction phenomenon is described as the interference of waves according to the Huygens–Fresnel principle. These characteristic behaviors are exhibited when a wave encounters an obstacle or a slit that is comparable in size to its wavelength. Similar effects occur when a light wave travels through a medium with a varying refractive index, or when a sound wave travels through a medium with varying acoustic impedance. Diffraction has an impact on the acoustic space. Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as visible light, X-rays and radio waves. Since physical objects have wave-like properties (at the atomic level), diffraction also occurs with matter and can be studied according to the principles of quantum mechanics. Italian scientist Francesco Maria Grimaldi coined the word \"\"diffraction\"\" and was the first to record accurate observations of the phenomenon in 1660. [ 1] [2]While diffraction occurs whenever propagating waves encounter such changes, its effects are generally most pronounced for waves whose wavelength is roughly comparable to the dimensions of the diffracting object or slit."

Watching her slide it around the kitchen floor - it hits you: your eureka moment!A good invention is rare. That flash of genius is fleeting so be ready to protect it when it comes. Lesson one: the difference between provisional patent and nonprovisional patent. Filing a provisional patent application gives inventors flexibility to quickly protect an invention. The provisional patent application is just the beginning and you will need a non-provisional patent to protect your flash of genius. Knowing the difference between a provisional patent application and a non-provisional patent application will help you learn more about the process of filing a patent, the expected costs of protecting your invention and how to use both provisional and non-provisional patent applications to protect your rights in a smart way.

"text": "GILL SLITS: I have read that babies have gill slits before birth. Isn’t this proof of evolution?25/09/2012 Diane Eager Evolution / People The original question was: I read in one of my school textbooks that human babies have gills slits before birth and this is proof for evolution. How do you answer this? Answer by Diane Eager It is very common belief that as the human baby grows in the womb, it goes through an evolutionary process with a fish-like stage, a frog-like stage, and so on until ends up mammal-like and finally human. This concept goes back to a man called Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) who was Darwin’s main proponent in continental Europe. His theory is called “recapitulation,” also known by the longer phrase; “Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny,” meaning a creature shows its evolutionary history in the various stages it passes through as a developing embryo. “ Ontogeny” means development; “phylogeny” means evolutionary history. One of the “best evidences” presented for this theory has been that humans (and all mammals) went through a stage where they had gill slits, like a fish, in their neck region. The study of embryonic development from the early 20th century onwards has long shown this to be completely false. In spite of this, many school biology textbooks clung to the idea long after it was known to be erroneous, simply for the sake of maintaining the evolutionary story, e.g. the 1981 edition of the Web of Life biology textbook for Australian High Schools stated: “Chordates also developed slits in the sides of the throat usually early in life."

Cartilaginous fishes (Class Chondrichthyes, from Greek chondros, cartilage, and ichthos, fish) are a class of aquatic, gill-breathing, finned vertebrates (animals with a vertebral column or `backbone'), equivalent to the bony fishes (Class Osteichthyes: osteos, bone, and ichthos, fish). Cartilaginous fishes include the living sharks, rays, and chimaeras, and have true upper and lower jaws, a sensory snout that overhangs the mouth and nostrils on the underside of the head, teeth in conspicuous transverse rows or in fused tooth plates that are replaced from inside the mouth, no bony plates on the head, scales in the form of small, toothlike dermal denticles or placoid scales, fins without bony fin rays, and a simplified internal cartilaginous skeleton without bone. All cartilaginous fishes have a pair each of symmetrical pectoral and pelvic fins on the sides of the body, which correspond to the forelimbs and hands or wings, and hindlimbs and feet of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals (tetrapods or `four-footed' land vertebrates). All sharks and chimaeras have a caudal fin on the end of the tail, which may be reduced or absent in rays. An anal fin, on the underside of the tail between the paired pelvic fins and the caudal fin, is present in many sharks and chimaeras but absent in others, while all rays and skates lack this fin."

"text": "\"In classical physics, studying the behavior of a physical system is often a simple task due to the fact that several physical qualities can be measured simultaneously. However, this possibility is absent in the quantum world. In 1927 the German physicist Werner Heisenberg described such limitations as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, or simply the Uncertainty Principle, stating that it is not possible to measure both the momentum and position of a particle simultaneously. The Nature of Measurement In order to understand the conceptual background of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle it is important to understand how physical values are measured. In almost any measurement that is made, light is reflected off the object that is being measured and processed. The shorter the wavelength of light used, or the higher its frequency and energy, the more accurate the results. For example, when attempting to measure the speed of a tennis ball as it is dropped off of a ledge, photons (measurement of light) are shot off the tennis ball, reflected, and then processed by certain equipment. Because the tennis ball is so large compared to the photons, it is unaffected by the efforts of the observer to measure its physical quantities. However, if a photon is shot at an electron, the minuscule size of the electron and its unique wave-particle duality introduces consequences that can be ignored when taking measurements of macroscopic objects. Heisenberg himself encountered such limitations as he attempted to measure the position of an electron with a microscope."

The tabs are slidably movable within the slits so as to render the locking collar rotatable from an unlocked position to a locked position. The unlocked position of the collar exists when the tabs abut against a first lateral side of the slits and the locked position of the collar exists when the tabs abut against an opposite second lateral side of the slits. The connector is in an unlocked state when the locking collar is disposed in the unlocked position and in a locked state when the collar is disposed in the locked position. The connector is formed as a unit in a single mold, with the tabs being engaged within the slits upon formation of the connector. The connector is particularly useful in automotive applications.

"text": "\"Acorn Worm Image: David Shale It's a dangerous business trying to handle an Acorn Worm. Not because it can harm YOU in any way, but because they're so soft and fragile that they're liable to fall apart in your hands. And yet this delicate worm is just a few wrong turnings on the evolutionary tree from having its very own backbone!Image: Moorea Biocode There are currently less than 100 known species of Acorn Worm in the class Enteropneusta. Most of them reach about 10 to 45 cm (4 in to 1.5 ft) long, but one species can reach a least 1.5 metres (5 ft) in length. An Acorn Worm is split into three parts: a proboscis, a collar, and then a long trunk which makes up the bulk of their length. The proboscis is attached to the collar by a fleshy stalk, but you usually can't see it because of the shape of the collar. In other words, the collar acts like a collar and covers the stalk (or neck). The proboscis ends up looking like a little acorn in its cup, hence the name. Unlike real acorns, you almost never see a fully grown Acorn Worm. They spend almost all their time hidden within mucus-lined, U-shaped burrows constructed in soft sand near the sea shore."

Animal Diversity and Body Plans (Click image to enlarge)The Other Coelomates: Deuterostomes To understand the evolutionary history of animals, scientists rely on several types of data including, but not limited to, the following: the overall morphology of the organism, DNA sequence comparisons, other similarities at the molecular level, and the developmental sequence of events in the embryo. The sequence of events during embryonic development is the main characteristic used to distinguish protostomes and deuterostomes. Review Figure 2, which shows the major developmental characters that distinguish a protostome from a deuterostome. Recall that, in general, in protostomes the mouth forms first, whereas in deuterostomes it forms secondarily (the two names are based upon this difference)."

"text": "Outdoor Fireplace Cost A comparison of the different types available and their price ranges The cost of an outdoor fireplace will depend on the exact features you want. Choices you need to make that will impact the total price are: wood vs. gas, prefab vs. custom built, large vs. small, freestanding vs. integrated into a wall or building. Start by answering these questions and you'll be a lot closer to determining the cost of a new fireplace. Chiminea: $150-500If you love the atmosphere a fireplace creates, but are limited by budget and space, a Chiminea is an excellent option. Chimineas burn wood and can be moved around your yard, or even from one property to another. However, their small size makes it hard for many people to gather round and enjoy the fire. Prefab Fireplace: $1,500-9,000If you are looking for a fireplace with a fairly substantial look, but aren't ready to pay a skilled mason to build one from scratch, then a prefab model is right for you. A majority of prefab fireplaces are made of reinforced concrete and equipped to burn natural gas or propane. One of the best things about going prefab is that the fireplace can be installed quickly and enjoyed almost right away. When it comes to cost, watch for high shipping, freight or delivery charges."

"text": "\"THE MEANING OF THE SQUAREWe are more fortunate in Freemasonry because we possess a body of ritualistic work which defines many of our symbols in at least one way. This allows us to look at our symbols in two distinct ways, the first being in the way our teachings say and secondly at the common meaning given to the same symbol by the man in the street. The similarity is usually very close but the range of meanings in the outside world is frequently much broader.• When a new mason asks the question about symbols, \"\"what is that? \"\", or \"\"what does that mean? \"\", do we tend to back off? • Do we have the feeling that these are 'old' symbols that really have no meaning in our modern world? If this is the case, then we are in very serious trouble within our Lodges because the Charge at our installations very clearly states that \"\"...it inculcates principles of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.\"\" We are also told in the same breath that to penetrate through the veil of the allegories and symbols is to understand the mysteries. While there is a far deeper meaning in the overall pattern of the craft, it is of great value to find some meanings of the individual symbols and to attempt to recall that meaning on each occasion that we see them. This creates the 'repetition' form of learning that begins to modify our life style to become that \"\"better man\"\" we all strive for."

Mason originated in the Middle Ages as an occupational name intended to signify a skilled worker of stone (from the Old French “maçon”), a word which is ultimately derived from the Germanic “macian” meaning “to make.” The Norman-French introduced the name to England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. At that point in history, very few structures in England were made from stone, so not only did the French introduce the word to England, but they also brought the masonry skill itself. As a surname, Mason dates back to at least the 11th century England when last names were issued as a form of identification for taxation purposes. Occupations became one of the key ways to classify a citizen. This is how Robert the baker became Robert Baker and Richard the stoneworker became Richard Mason. It’s uncertain when Mason began to be used as a forename for boys, but we know it dates back to at least the 19th century in America. Usage of Mason in America may have been influenced by George Mason, an 18th century patriot and statesman credited for his role in writing the Bill of Rights. Today, the name Mason is used almost exclusively within English-speaking nations."

"text": "\"Home »Structures How to Add Stone to the Exterior of a House By Bob Haring; Updated September 21, 2017There are three ways to add stone veneer to the exterior of a house. You can use natural stone, stones in irregular shapes or stones in cut forms. You can add thin natural stone, which is stone sliced thin so it weighs less, or you can use manufactured stone, a concrete-like product that resembles stone. The installation techniques are similar. All three types can be installed on concrete or concrete block walls or on wood-sheathed walls. Natural stone requires a solid base of concrete or metal angle iron fastened to the bottom of the wall. Step 1Prepare a wood-sheathed wall by stapling a waterproof membrane to the sheathing with a construction stapler. Cover it with metal lath, nailed with galvanized nails with a hammer at stud locations in the wall. Put metal flashing around windows and doors and install a \"\"weep screed\"\" of perforated metal at the bottom of the wall, under the lath and extending out at 90 degrees, so any water that gets behind the facing will drain out. Step 2Mix mortar according to package directions and spread a layer about 1/8 inch thick over the lath, using a rectangular mason's trowel."

Also called Belgian block pavers or paving stones, they are one of the most durable driveway materials, and provide an \"\"old world\"\" charm. Typical costs: Professional installation of a cobblestone driveway can cost $20 -$70 or more a square foot, or about $6,000 -$21,000 for 12'x25' or $19,500 -$65,000 for 24'x40', depending on the quality and size of cobblestones, the intricacy of the pattern, the extent of the prep work needed and local rates. A cobblestone driveway can be a do-it-yourself installation, but it is labor-intensive and requires the use of a plate compactor (typical rental $50 -$60 half-day or $75 -$170 daily, depending on size and if it is reversible). Cobblestones come in a variety of sizes, and it can cost $10 -$25 or more a square foot for do-it-yourself materials, or $3,000 -$7,500 for 12'x25; or $9,600 -$24,000 for a 24'x40'. For example, at Earth Materials LLC [ 1] in Orange, CT, 4\"\"x4\"\"x4\"\" pink cube cobblestones cost $3 each and 11\"\"x8\"\"x4\"\" black jumbo cobblestones are $6 each; at Willis Dimension Stone [ 2] in Georgia it's $270 a ton for 4\"\"x4\"\"x4\"\" Savannah gray granite cobblestones and $140 a ton for jumbo cobblestones. Because there are so many factors that affect the cost, paving contractors typically do not charge by the square foot, but instead quote their total price for a specific project. What should be included: A cobblestone driveway is only as good as the surface beneath it; over time, a poor foundation will allow the cobblestones to settle unevenly. Any landscaping or existing pavement should be removed, and the area excavated. The subsoil should be compacted and leveled for proper drainage, then topped with an 8\"\"-12\"\" layer of compacted and leveled gavel."

Few scholars realize it, but the pine cone alludes to the highest degree of spiritual illumination possible. This was recognized by various ancient cultures, and the symbol can be found in the ruins of the Indonesians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Christians, to name a few. It also appears in the drawings of esoteric traditions like Freemasonry, Theosophy, Gnosticism, and esoteric Christianity. The pine cone held the same meaning for all: It symbolized a secret vestigial organ, the “pineal gland” or “Third Eye”, that we all possess. Left: The magnificent ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, one of the most magical and spiritual places on earth, are filled with pine cone symbolism. Right: Antithetical animals flank an enlightened bodhisattva at Angkor Wat. The majestic stone ruins of Angkor Wat are a marvelous sight to behold. Immense towers shaped like pine cones silhouetted against the sky rise out of the lush green jungle in a way that defies the imagination. The pine cone shaped towers are often cited by scholars:“The individual spires at Angkor have a…pine-cone profile…”—Benjamin Rowland, The Art and Architecture of India The question, however, is the significance of the pine cones: it seems unlikely such a distinctive feature would appear with no rhyme or reason."

This typically occurs with runners who log longer distances and participate in road races (like a half-marathon or marathon) and eventually don't get enough hip flexion from fatigue and improper technique. \"\" As you run, your hamstring fatigues and can no longer decelerate the foot from going forward in the same repetitive motion so you'll start to experience pain behind knee,\"\" says Dr. Jessica Greaux, a biomechanist and founder of Press Play Performance Lab and Innersport Chiropractic in Berkeley, California. \"\" The overuse occurs when the lower leg swings forward like a pendulum and thus puts a strain on the hamstrings over and over during a long run. \"\" Your Fit Fix: See a sports doctor who will figure out what's aggravating your injury by doing a gait analysis. \"\" This will pinpoint which muscles are not firing properly and paint a picture of your running form and technique,\"\" Greaux says. Often weak butt muscles are to blame for pain behind the knee, but strengthening pelvic stabilizers (like the hip flexors) is also important.

Occasionally, running can lead to muscle problems severe enough to require surgery and months of rehabilitation. If you've recently been running and heard a loud pop in your calf muscle, this may be a sign your running days have been temporarily put on hold. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Muscle Sprains A popping sound in the calf muscle can be a sign of a sprained calf muscle. Muscle sprains are three grades: a grade one sprain will result in no more than slight stiffness and a mild ache, and should heal on its own inside of a week; a grade two sprain results in mild swelling, pain when you walk and may require immobilization for several weeks; a grade three sprain means you tore 90 percent or more of the muscle. You will likely have a considerable amount of bruising and swelling, intense pain and little to no control over the muscle itself. Joint Popping If you are experiencing no symptoms after the popping sound, it's possible the pop itself came from your knee or ankle joints. Much like when you \"\"pop your knuckles,\"\" joints can make popping sounds when they are used extensively. The reason for this is the presence of synovial fluid in your joints, which is essentially a lubricant to keep your joints moving friction free. This fluid contains multiple gases like oxygen and nitrogen."

The two muscles of the calf — the gastrocnemius and the soleus — point or plantarflex the foot downward and help you push off while propelling yourself forward. Injuring or straining one of the two can significantly limit the power in these muscles and make running very difficult. Several steps can be taken to ensure a safe and comfortable return to exercising.

Ice the affected area for approximately 10 to 15 minutes of every hour you are awake, and take NSAIDS such as ibuprofen to limit inflammation. A compressive wrap or ACE bandage may also be helpful. Stretching or strengthening exercises are not particularly beneficial during this phase, as they may aggravate the pain. In addition, heat should be avoided, as it can lead to increased swelling in the leg.

"text": "\"Related Articles The Average Cost to Reupholster a Couch The Best Fabric for Re-Covering a Sofa Recovering Couches vs. Reupholstering How Much Would It Cost to Reupholster a Couch? You don’t need to replace an aging couch in order to redecorate. Reupholstering it is a low-cost, green way of sprucing up a room and giving new life to old furniture. And using the old fabric as a basis for your project keeps you from needing to start from scratch and can help you finish the job in under a day.1Measure your couch and its cushions before buying fabric. Using a tape measure, take the measurements of the length, width and height of the couch, and take the same measurements for your couch cushions. Multiplying the length, width and height of your couch and your cushions will tell you how much fabric to buy. Consider buying 10 percent more fabric than you think you need, in case you make a mistake along the way. Choose a stain-resistant fabric that will complement the colors in the room where the couch is.2Use scissors to cut the current couch fabric at its seams. Cut carefully, since you can use the old fabric as your pattern when you cut the new fabric. Remove fabric one section at a time.3Lay the new fabric face down, and place the old fabric, which will likely be in sections and resemble the shape of your couch, on top of the new fabric."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology What is microfiber? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: (m) Microfiber consists of very fine threads of polyester and polyamide (nylon) that combine to form a single thread. One Microfiber is 100 times thinner than a single strand of human hair. When they are woven together, the Microfibers create a surface area 40 times greater than that of a regular fiber. Due to this expanded surface area, and to the capillary action of the fine threads, Microfiber Cloth has dramatically enhanced absorbing power. Microfiber is traditionally defined as a fiber with a denier of less than one. Denier is a measure of the thinness of a fiber and is the weight in grams of a continuous fiber of 9,000 meters. Due to its incredibly thin structure, Microfiber is able to penetrate the finest microscopic particles of dirt and grease on any surface. Split Microfiber, as it is more specifically described, possesses numerous wedges rather than the rounded threads found in ordinary cloth. This wedge structure is what provides the superior penetration of grease and oil verses that of common fabrics."

WFTSShow Caption Leather couches are more popular than ever these days. But with a high quality leather sofa costing $2,000 or more, a lot of stores are pushing low cost versions, sometimes just $800 for a full couch. Which can be acceptable in some cases, or can be junk, as a woman found out. Grabbed a half-price sale Elizabeth Gibson dreamed of having a beautiful leather living room set. So when she found a leather sectional for half price, she grabbed it. What she didn't expect was to see peeling, in less than 3 years. \"\" It started to crack and peel here first,\"\" she said, pointing to the seat cushion. But it was soon peeling everywhere: cushions, back, armrest. It was then she realized the leather wasn't real leather at all, despite the sales pitch. \"\""

"text": "\"The length of a sofa is as critical an element as the color, style and material. A living room sofa to seat three people is typically about 84 inches long, but that can stretch to 90 inches or more in a large enough room. Sofas come in all shapes and sizes, including measurements for loveseats, sleeper sofas and sectionals. Your space, and the access to it via elevators, hallways and the front door, is the best determinant of the length you choose.credit: IPGGutenberg UKLtd/i Stock/Getty Images A couple placing a new sofa in the living room. Ins and Outs of the Couch A grand sofa isn't so grand when it's parked on the sidewalk because there is no way to get it into the living room. Here's what keeps that glorious stretch of sofa from its rightful place in the salon: an elevator with a lower ceiling height than the couch length; an awkward corner and door placement at the top of the stairs or an apartment building landing; a narrow entry door or room entrance with no space to angle the sofa through it. Measure about a million times before you order a custom sofa, buy one on final sale or even arrange for delivery of the floor model of your dreams. If the sofa is too long, you'll have to hire a crane or a dismantle-and-deliver service to get that couch to its home in your home. Either option will considerably increase the cost of your seating, not to mention the hassle you'll face when moving or redecorating.

Sometimes it’s the side of your hand, or when your hands are full, a nudge with your elbow or shoulder. While the electrical hardware is reliable, this type of system is prone to user error (forgetfulness), doesn’t react quickly to changing circumstances (daytime/nighttime), and is often just damned inconvenient (you’re here, but the switch is over there). On top of all that, gangs of three, four, or more switches on the wall, no matter how fancy the wall plate, are unsightly and not especially intuitive to use when it comes to flipping the right switch to turn on the right light—especially in the dark. A Good Oompa-Loompa Is Hard to Find Over the years, I’ve tried to cobble together a next-generation, how-did-I-live-without-it, lookma-no-hands, modern-day lighting-control system (LCS) to replace the old Wilkinson Finger-Flipping Lighting Control System (WFFLCS). At various times, it’s included a hodgepodge of motion-sensing light switches, motion-sensing light-socket inserts, screw-in daylight sensors, X10 light switches and motion sensors, plug-in slide-control lamp dimmers, Z-Wave-enabled dimmers, Sharper Image motion- and sound-sensing light switches, Zig Bee-enabled dimmers and switches, in-wall dimmers with built-in IR receivers, and more. There were desperate days when I started to think that my next attempt might have to involve helper monkeys or Oompa-Loompas. ( Both of which are problematic. The former are poo throwers; the latter sing too much.) It certainly looked like I would forever be giving the lights in my house the finger."

"text": "Furnishing options – how much would it cost for an apartment in Dubai By Majorie van Leijen Published Friday, April 06, 2012 (Picture courtesy: Net Interior Project)Many newcomers to Dubai wonder what the best option is; renting a furnished or unfurnished apartment. Likewise, homeowners ask themselves the question whether it is profitable or not to deliver their property ready to move in or leave the furniture shopping to the tenant. For both parties, Emirates 24|7 went through the catalogues, consulted the specialists and asked random people how much they had spent on their studio, 1- or 2-bedroom apartment. The one bedroom apartment – Dh15,000 and up For singles and couples without children the one bedroom apartment is probably the most popular option, and most often these properties are advertised unfurnished. The task is quite simple; one needs to fill a living room, bedroom and kitchen. Bedroom: Budget shoppers intending to furnish the apartment fast and cheaply, will probably eye the basics only. For the bedroom, this means a bed, a wardrobe and maybe a side table or chest for the remaining items used around the bed that otherwise float around. All can be done with a budget of Dh2,500-5,000. However, mid-range shoppers might prioritise good sleeping, opting for a quality mattress. Likewise, sleeping in style is very well possible as even budget shops offer royal-looking beds and plenty of mid-range options for Dh5,000 and higher."

I'd say if you bargain shop and do alot yourself you could design a living room for about 1500 (that's if you don't own a couch). Bedrooms from scratch would cost at least 1000+ obviously smaller rooms will be alot cheaper! Answer Make a list of the basics--couch, chairs, tables, lamp (s) and then take a look at resale places.

"text": "Todd M. Wenning, CFAResearch Analyst Research, Cincinnati Thursday, April 6, 2017“Darkness was cheap, and Scrooge liked it.” – Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol As a consumer, one of the big mistakes I’m prone to make is buying the “cheap” item that, in the long run, ends up costing more than the “expensive” option I put back on the shelf. Here’s an example. About ten years ago, my wife and I were shopping for a couch to put in our first home. We wanted a brown leather couch and went to a local furniture store to find one we liked. As we looked at the real leather couches, I turned over the price tags and was stunned at how much the store was asking. My attention quickly turned to the faux leather couches, which were a fraction of the price of the real leather options. “Who would know the difference,” I rationalized to my wife, “and just think about all the money we’re saving. ”Fast forward five years and the fake leather couch was falling apart – quite literally – and I was back in the market for another couch. What I failed to recognize then is the difference between price and value."

"text": "Family & Lifestyle, Home and Garden How Much Does It Cost to Reupholster a Couch? Whether you’ve found a very interesting couch that needs a fabric change or has been eaten by moths, or you have an old couch yourself that needs some retouches, you could always look to get it reupholstered to make it look almost as a new one. This brings us to this article’s most important question: Exactly how much does it cost to reupholster a couch ? If instead you want to reupholster a chair,be sure to read this article: Cost to reupholster a chair. Don’t expect the price to be a low one, because depending on who you employ and what type of couch you need to reupholster, in the end it could cost you a lot. One important aspect is the size of your couch. You need to figure out how many yards of your desired material you’ll need for the job. If you don’t know how to do this, you could always get it to a professional in reupholstery and get it appraised. They could give you an exact final cost or just an approximation of the material you’ll need for the job. You can get a general idea of how much material you’ll need by using our basic guidelines from below: A very large couch – nearly 27 yards of fabric/$270 plus labor An average couch – approximately 23 yards of fabric/$239 plus labor A small sofa – around 19 yards of fabric/$190 plus labor A small loveseat – about 12 yards of fabric/$120 plus labor The final cost of reupholstering a couch depends on exactly how complex the couch really is, because the harder someone will have to work for it, the higher the labor cost will get."

I tend to use the powder and make hte tea, bc I can stomach the bitterness, but truly any kind will do. Just make sure you got a good legitimate vendor. 2-6 grams = mild effects (typically the effects are stimulant-like) 7-15 grams = medium strength effects (the effects can be stimulant-like or sedative-euphoric-analgesic) 16-25 grams = strong effects (sedative-euphoric-analgesic effects; too strong for highly sensitive people) 26-50 grams = very strong effects (sedative-euphoric-analgesic effects; TOO STRONG FOR MOST PEOPLE) I agree with this dosage chart. I usually do about 17 grams for a good high dosage, for a low mild dosage I do about 6 grams.psychedelicg1rl, Oct 4, 2010 #4pharfromit Member Its qualitatively quite different from oxycodone."

"text": "Related Articles How to Repair a Tear in a Faux Leather Couch How to Clean Artificial Leather How to Clean Polyester Sofa Fabric Repairing a Pleather Couch Faux-leather couches can provide the look of expensive leather for a fraction of the cost, but they do require different care than true leather. The upholstery material is sometimes called pleather, which means plastic leather and can refer to a variety of different man-made fabrics. Most pleather does contain some plastic materials, such as polyvinyl chloride, or vinyl. Chemical cleaners can damage pleather or make it stiff, so it's vital to care properly for the couch upholstery to keep it looking and feeling its best.1Vacuum the couch weekly or as needed with the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Vacuum inside any cracks or crevices to remove all dirt particles, removing the cushions if possible to vacuum beneath them. Abrasive dirt particles can scratch pleather, but regular vacuuming prevents abrasion.2Combine a mild household detergent or liquid dish soap with warm water. Use about 2 tablespoons of detergent per gallon of water.3Wipe the pleather down with a clean rag dampened with the detergent solution as needed to remove surface residue and dirt. Avoid chemical cleaners or those that contain bleach, because this can discolor the pleather or remove the surface plasticizer coating, resulting in stiffness.4Rinse the rag in clear water and wring it out. Wipe down the pleather a second time to remove the detergent residue. Wipe up the excess moisture with a dry cloth.5Dip a cotton ball in a vinyl stain remover or rubbing alcohol to remove stains."

Craig Ferguson stopped doing this on his show because he found it too contrived. Guests on a talk show (99% of the time, anyway) are there to promote something. Most of the time a guest will have a response to these questions in mind. If it's a standup comedian, the host may be feeding him or her a line to get them into a bit they do. The quality of the answers is dependent on the guests. They may choose to be engaging (as many of them do), they could be cagey; it's up to them.

"text": "Home | Dogs | Breeds | Scottish Terrier | Appearance & Grooming Scottish Terrier - Appearance & Grooming Source: Pet Wave, Updated on July 16, 2015Introduction Appearance & Grooming History and Health Temperament & Personality Pictures Appearance The Scottish Terrier is a compact dog with short legs and a long, bearded face. Their sturdy build is often described as power in a small package. The bushy eyebrows shield the dark, wide-set, piercing eyes. The ears are small, erect, pointed and sit high on the head. The muzzle is large – filling an average man's hand, and ends in a black nose. The teeth should meet in a scissors bite. The chest of the Scottie is broad, and the topline level. The tail should be about seven inches long, taper from base to tip and point straight up. The harsh coat comes in black, gray, brindle or wheaten. Size and Weight Both male and female Scotties should ideally stand at ten inches at the shoulder."

The body and tail are clipped, and the furnishings (hair that hangs down under the body) are left long, as is the hair on the lower legs and on the face (eyebrows, beard, and moustache.)"

"text": "\"I'm cute enough to be a TV star. When Cesar's marketing department went looking for a dog to represent the company and sell its products, they chose a West Highland white terrier. It's not hard to figure out why. The Westie, as his friends call him, is more than adorable -- he's smart as a whip. Appearance If you're thinking of bringing a Westie into your life, you'll have a small but active companion. At maturity, Westies weigh between 15 and 21 pounds, standing 10 to 11 inches high at the shoulder. As his name states, his coat is snow white, but his dark, \"\"shoe-button\"\" eyes equally add to his appeal. History This Scottish native terrier started out hunting rodents, including badgers and foxes. Historical references to this type of terrier date back to at least the 1600s. Originally called the Poltalloch terrier, the breed made its initial appearances at dog shows in the early 20th century."

The breed was given the name Cairn, because the breed's function was to hunt and chase quarry between the cairns in the Scottish highlands. [ 2]Although the breed had existed long before, the name 'Cairn Terrier' was a compromise suggestion after the breed was originally brought to official shows in the United Kingdom in 1909 under the name Short-haired Skye terriers. This name was not acceptable to The Kennel Club due to opposition from Skye Terrier breeders, and the name 'Cairn Terrier' was suggested as an alternative. They are usually left-pawed, [3] which has been shown in dogs to correlate to superior performance in tasks related to scent. Cairn terriers are ratters.

"text": "\"Scottish Terrier - Breed and Grooming Tips The Scottish Terrier, often called the \"\"Scottie,\"\" is best recognized for its distinctive profile and hard, wiry, weather-resistant outer coat in a black, brindle or wheaten color. Its beard, eyebrows, legs and lower body furnishings are traditionally shaggy. Like many breeds in the Terrier Group, Scotties are small yet strong and known as fast, alert and playful dogs. The Scottish Terrier is the only breed of dog that has lived in the White House three times, with Presidents Roosevelt, Eisenhower and George W. Bush. Right Breed for You? Scotties thrive as house pets and are gentle, loving members of their families. Their spirited natures require obedience training, and they need regular exercise (on leash, as the chase instinct is strong). The Scottie coat requires regular brushing and stripping or clipping to maintain the characteristic breed outline. Source: American Kennel Club - www.akc.org Grooming The Scottish Terrier has a hard, wiry coat which serves as a protective barrier to enable the dog to go to ground. Keeping the Scottie on a consistent hand stripping and coat rolling schedule, will allow the quality and texture of the coat to strengthen, which, in turn, further improves the utilitarian purpose of the dog."

Copyright © 2000-2018Quick list of Scottish Terrier health problems The Scottish Terrier has been deliberately bred to have a deformity called chondrodysplasia (short legs, long back), which is associated with orthopedic problems. For example, loose knee joints (luxating patella) and intervertebral disk disease occur at pretty high rates in Scotties. Several severe blood-clotting diseases occur in Scottish Terriers, which can make injuries or surgeries life-threatening. Epilepsy is an increasing concern in the breed. Bladder cancer is 18 times more likely to occur in Scottish Terriers than in any other breed. Chronic allergies (which cause terribly itchy skin) are very common in all of the terrier breeds. Other serious health issues in Scottish Terriers include heart disease, eye diseases, thyroid disease, and a painful hereditary disease called CMO, where there is excessive bone growth on a young Scottie's jaws. Scotties can inherit an odd neuromuscular disease called Scottie cramp, in which a Scottish Terrier has sudden episodes where he can't walk properly. It can be distressing to watch, but doesn't seem painful. ("

No matter what character they embody, each breed plays a different role in the story, and each breed has different characteristics that makes it suited for different jobs, as shown in the book when some of the dogs are better at sledding than the others. Another symbolism of the different breeds of dogs is that they represent the different types of people that came to the Yukon, new people, like Hal, experienced people, like Thorton, and etc. Thank you for watching, and thank you for your time. Japanese Pug/Chin Fox Terrier Fox terriers are shown in the book Call of the Wild attempting to entice Ysabel and Toots from the safety of the indoors, which they fail to do. Fox terriers are medium sized dogs, with heights of 13-16 inches and weights of around 13-20 lbs. Fox terriers are bold and very playful, but also cunning, as portrayed by their attempts to lure Ysabel and Toots outside. These dogs tend to live 15 or more years Fox terriers are some of the oldest terrier type dogs, originating from the British Isles in the 17th century. Fox terriers were originally used for luring out animals for hunters."

"text": "Courtesy FDR Library, the Bettman Archive. President Franklin D. Roosevelt with his Scottish terrier, Fala. By Ray Hill The lives of presidents and kings are usually equally celebrated or condemned, yet Franklin Delano Roosevelt remains one of the most iconic of American presidents to this day. During his lifetime as president, just about every aspect of Roosevelt’s life was avidly followed by millions of people and in 1940, a new addition to FDR’s family was to become almost equally famous. It was 1940 when Roosevelt’s cousin and frequent companion, Daisy Suckley, gifted the president with a Scottish terrier puppy as an early Christmas gift. Many of Roosevelt’s friends and relatives considered FDR to be quite lonely in the White House despite his usual sunny nature and the constant stream of visitors. Miss Suckley believed the puppy would give her cousin much happiness and comfort and the little Scottish terrier soon became the president’s constant companion of choice. Born April 7, 1940 and originally named “Big Boy”, the little Scottie was carefully trained by Miss Suckley and he had an entire repertoire of tricks he could perform. President Roosevelt received his new puppy in November of 1940 and promptly renamed the dog. The Scottie was christened “Murray the Outlaw of Falahill”, or “Fala” to his friends and family."

"text": "The answer is rather ambiguous: Not necessarily. If you have been diligent about keeping your dog well brushed and he is not heavily matted or solidly packed with shed hair, he can still be cool without stripping him of his coat. Like most things found in nature, the dog’s coat has a purpose: It protects him from the elements in winter by insulating him from cold. In double-coated breeds, the downy undercoat acts as his thermal underwear, waterproofing him as well. In warm weather, a well-brushed coat “lofts” as the dog moves, air cooling him all the way to the skin. Removing the hair, removes this built-in air-conditioning and other features that come naturally to your dog’s coat. Dogs That Don’t Shed>>That being said, if your dog is active or has allergies and is prone to get himself dirty and matted then a trimmed down coat might be in order for keeping him comfortable. Matted coats trap heat and moisture which is far more harmful than shaving or not shaving. A Summer Trim Some breeds have hair that grows constantly so it needs to be trimmed. They include the Poodle, Bichon Frise, and Cocker Spaniel and, unless they are show dogs, the Shih Tzu, Maltese, Lhasa Apso and Havanese."

This article is meant to enable dog owners to learn more about these two dog breeds and know the differences between them in order to decide which pet is better suited to their requirements. Their appearance, temperament and qualities will be discussed in this article for your perusal. More about Yorkie Let us first look at the origin of Yorkies. Yorkie was developed from English and Scottish black and tan Terriers apart from Maltese and Clydesdale Terriers. From all these breeds, the smallest litter was selected for breeding which is how the present day Yorkie was achieved. When you consider the body shape of the Yorkie, Yorkie looks squarely in size i.e. its height and length is almost equal. Then, the color of the coat of Yorkie is steel blue. Moreover, Yorkies have a longer coat that often drags down on the floor."

Great Danes are also said to be spirited and courageous, making scaredy-cat Scooby a bit of an outlier. What Type of Dog is Boo? Boo is a Pomeranian – just one with an unusual hair style. Pomeranians are small, bouncy, fox-faced dogs. These brave, boisterous dogs often don’t realize just how small they are, and take on larger dogs without hesitation. While generally good-natured, they aren’t recommended for families with very small children."

"text": "\"Why Stroke Programs Fail: Identifying Leaders to Turn a Team Around January 09, 2013 | Print | Email Many hospitals are developing or enhancing their stroke programs to better coordinate care and meet quality standards. There have been many examples of success, such as Palm Drive Hospital in Sebastopol, Calif., which received a Superior Performance award from the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program in May — only the second hospital to do so — and the stroke center of Palo Alto, Calif.-based Stanford Hospital & Clinics, which in November became the first hospital in the country to receive the Disease-Specific Care Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification from The Joint Commission. However, many hospital stroke programs fail, and the primary reason is they lack a strong stroke coordinator, according to Timothy Shephard, Ph D, vice president of Bon Secours Virginia Health System's Neuroscience Institute. \"\" Almost universally, programs that fail or backslide in performance are those [that] lost a stroke coordinator or did not have one and tried to tack it on to someone else's job,\"\" he says. \"\" Having seen a few hundred stroke programs, I can unequivocally make this statement.\"\" Stroke coordinator: Lynchpin of stroke team Stroke coordinators have the responsibility of overseeing all operations of the stroke program, including communicating with all stakeholders, holding monthly meetings and collecting and analyzing data. Due to the scope of the role, hospitals with greater than 100 to 150 ischemic stroke discharges should have a dedicated stroke coordinator. In hospitals with fewer cases, someone could take on the stroke coordinator role as an additional responsibility or cover multiple sites, according to Dr. Shephard. Stroke coordinators are typically nurses, but stroke coordinators can be anyone with a passion for neuroscience and detailed work. \"\" It's really about sound organization and communication skills — being able to communicate with physicians, being able to educate peers and being able to teach at all different levels,\"\" Dr. Shephard says."

"text": "\"How Long Does Stroke Recovery Take? November 19, 2015So, how long does stroke recovery take? We know that trying to find answers about the duration of stroke recovery is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. No one can provide a concrete answer because every stroke recovery is different. While that is absolutely true (bear with us on this one), there are certain patterns that we’d like to highlight in this article. Recovery 1 Month Post-Stroke One month after a stroke, your motor function will start to improve as you continue to participate in different therapies to treat the side effects of your stroke. One clinical study confirmed that that recovery is fastest in the first few weeks after stroke, but it also continues well beyond this phase – as you’ll see in the following sections. Recovery 3 Months Post-Stroke The first three months after stroke are when major strides in motor recovery occur (if you’ve been diligent about your rehab exercise). You can still see major improvements later down the line as the plateau effect is absolutely not a stop sign and recovery can happen whenever you put your mind to it. However, it is common for major gains to happen during the first 3 months after stroke."

Many patients wonder if they will ever fully recover their muscle coordination, or how long or difficult the process of recovery may be. Fortunately, the field of occupational and physical therapy has come a long way in developing approaches that help patients regain controlled muscle movements after a stroke. There are seven recognized stages of stroke recovery through which most patients progress. Also known as the Brunnstrom Approach, the seven stages framework views spastic and involuntary muscle movement as part of the process and uses them to aid in rehabilitation. What Is The Brunnstrom Approach? The Brunnstrom Approach was developed in the 1960’s by Signe Brunnstrom, an occupational and physical therapist from Sweden. With seven stages, the Brunnstrom Approach breaks down how motor control can be restored throughout the body after suffering a stroke. Normally, muscle movements are the result of different muscle groups working together. Researchers have termed this collaboration between muscles as “synergies”."

What can you tell me about it? DEAR READER: The most common kind of strokes, called ischemic (iss-KEE-mick) strokes, occur when an artery supplying oxygen-rich blood to a part of the brain is blocked. This leads to the death of some brain cells. Many strokes are caused by blockages of the largest arteries in the brain. A lacunar stroke involves smaller arteries deep in the brain that branch off the large arteries. Because the arteries are smaller, the amount of brain tissue they feed is smaller than the amount fed by the large arteries. Still, lacunar strokes can cause significant disability. ("

Don’t worry – it’s completely normal!Your brain has sustained a serious injury and now it needs lots of rest in order to repair and rewire itself. In fact, your brain normally uses 20% of your energy, and that percentage only increases when it’s busy trying to fix itself. Why Sleep Is Oh-So Important Sleep is necessary for a healthy brain. When we sleep, our brain gets a chance to clean itself up and flush out toxic molecules that build up during waking hours. If we don’t get enough sleep and these toxins continue to build up in our brain, it could lead to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Sleep Helps Improve Movement Recovery after Stroke Sleep helps your brain heal and store information related to motor tasks. During REM sleep, your brain turns short-term memories about muscle movement into long-term memories that become stored in the part of the brain that’s in charge of muscle activity. Essentially, sleep helps your brain remember those movements that you’ve been practicing all day."

Traditional organ donation requires a person to be in a hospital and on a ventilator when they are pronounced brain dead. If a person experiences cardiac death, which means the heart has stopped and will not work again, they will be evaluated for tissue and cornea donation. Of the 2.2 million people who die each year, only approximately 2 percent of them are able to be organ donors. Cause of Death The manner in which a person dies determines what organs and tissues can be donated. In most cases, people who are evaluated for organ donation have suffered fatal head injuries resulting from a car accident, stroke or a brain aneurysm. A person is not evaluated for organ donation until all life saving measures have been attempted. For the hospital and the first responders, their sole purpose is to save the life of the patient. The doctors will do everything in their power to try to save the life of the individual. And, the hospital staff working to save the patient’s life is completely separate from the transplant team."

I explained that the \"\"right\"\" count was highly individual and promised to publish a blog that gave more explanation and included a formula to learn your own optimal count. There is no single SPL (Strokes Per Length or stroke count) that’s \"\"right\"\" in all circumstances. A shorter swimmer will generally take more strokes than a taller one. Your SPL for a 400 will be higher than for a 100. It will also be higher when swimming a 50 in 40 seconds, than in 45 seconds. But counting strokes regularly gives you the information to make strategic choices: If your count increases dramatically as you go farther or faster, ask yourself whether that was the best approach, or set a goal of doing it more efficiently next time. Every lap that includes stroke counting automatically gains in awareness and purpose. Your goal is not to achieve a single \"\"best\"\" count, but to learn the range of counts at which you can swim effectively. For Freestyle, my range in a 25-yard pool is usually between 11 and 15 SPL (12 to 16 SPL in a 25-meter pool and 30 to 40 SPL in a 50-meter pool.)."

"text": "\"What to Know and Do When Your Brain Has Blood Clots Having blood clots in your brain can be serious, which needs to be spotted, diagnosed and treated timely. Lucky you -- we get all info listed here!A blood clot in the brain can cause an ischemic stroke which is caused by an artery to the brain becoming blocked and starving a portion of the brain of oxygen and nutrients. A clot in the brain can also cause a buildup of cellular waste and carbon dioxide because the brain will be unable to clear this waste properly. This can cause the cells around the blockage to die, and the neurons in this portion of the brain to stop working, which can cause damage throughout the body. If you suspect that you have blood clots in the brain, immediate treatment will be necessary to avoid a life-threatening condition. Causes of Blood Clot in the Brain Head injuries or trauma to the brain, head and neck can cause these clots to form in the brain. Blood clots in the brain are caused when bleeding occurs between the skull and the brain. The body will form a clot to stop the bleeding, which will put pressure on the surrounding brain tissue. Trauma to the head can also cause blood clots formed outside of the brain to break loose and become lodged in the brain, which can cause an ischemic stroke. Travelling clots from other parts of the body will travel to a blood vessel that leads to the brain, causing a blockage and then an embolic stroke or cerebral embolism."

In a website, we can also add vector graphics with SVG or Scalable Vector Graphic. Citing from the official spec at W3.org, SVG is described as: A language for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML. SVG allows for three types of ßgraphic objects: vector graphic shapes (e.g., paths consisting of straight lines and curves), images and text. It has actually been around since 1999 and as of 16 August 2011, it became a W3C Recommendation. Yet, SVG is still considerably underused, whereas there are a lot of advantages in using Vector rather than Bitmap to serve graphic or image on a website. SVG Advantages In term of serving graphics on websites, SVG offers a few advantages over Bitmap, some of which include: Resolution Independent Bitmap/raster graphic is resolution dependent – it is built upon pixels. Graphics served will looked pixelated when it is resized at a certain zoom level. That doesn’t happen to vector graphic, which is resolution independent in nature, as the graphic is expressed with a mathematical equation which makes it scalable at any zoom level while maintaining quality, even at Retina Display.

Because the functions of microtubules are so critical to the existence of eukaryotic cells (including our own), it is important that we understand their composition, how they are assembled and disassembled, and how their assembly/disassembly and functions are regulated by cells. For the sake of brevity, only the very basic and universal concepts about microtubules and their organization into flagella will be presented here, leaving many questions unanswered. You will find that textbooks provide more complete descriptions of microtubules and their structures and functions, but they also leave many questions unanswered.

Cranial Nerves and Muscles Involved in Swallowing Swallowing occurs in three sequential phases, all requiring the careful coordination of muscles in the mouth, pharynx (your throat), larynx (your voicebox), and esophagus (a hollow tube that carries food from your throat to your stomach). These muscles are all under the control of a group of nerves called your cranial nerves. The cranial nerves are 12 pairs of nerves that emerge from the brainstem , located at the base of your brain. Your cranial nerves control functions such as smelling, tasting, swallowing, seeing, moving your face and eyes, and shrugging your shoulders. Several of the cranial nerves are involved with controlling the coordination and movements involved in chewing and swallowing. The following cranial nerves are involved in swallowing: Trigeminal (cranial nerve V)Facial (cranial nerve VII)Glossopharyngeal ( cranial nerve IX)Vagus (cranial nerve X)Hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII)In turn, cranial nerves are controlled by “processing centers” in the brain where information related to swallowing is processed. These centers include areas located in the cerebral cortex, the medulla oblongata, and the cranial nerve nuclei. Swallowing Centers In the Brain The voluntary initiation of swallowing takes place in special areas of the cerebral cortex of the brain, called the precentral gyrus (also called the primary motor area), posterior-inferior gyrus and the frontal gyrus. Information from these areas converge in the swallowing center in the medulla, which is part of the brainstem."

"text": "\"Download English PDF (704 kb) » Spanish Version » Order Materials »Post-Stroke Rehabilitation In the United States more than 700,000 people suffer a stroke each year, and approximately two-thirds of these individuals survive and require rehabilitation. The goals of rehabilitation are to help survivors become as independent as possible and to attain the best possible quality of life. Even though rehabilitation does not \"\"cure\"\" the effects of stroke in that it does not reverse brain damage, rehabilitation can substantially help people achieve the best possible long-term outcome. What is post-stroke rehabilitation? Rehabilitation helps stroke survivors relearn skills that are lost when part of the brain is damaged. For example, these skills can include coordinating leg movements in order to walk or carrying out the steps involved in any complex activity. Rehabilitation also teaches survivors new ways of performing tasks to circumvent or compensate for any residual disabilities. Individuals may need to learn how to bathe and dress using only one hand, or how to communicate effectively when their ability to use language has been compromised. There is a strong consensus among rehabilitation experts that the most important element in any rehabilitation program is carefully directed,well-focused, repetitive practice—the same kind of practice used by all people when they learn a new skill, such as playing the piano or pitching a baseball. Rehabilitative therapy begins in the acute-care hospital after the person’s overall condition has been stabilized, often within 24 to 48 hours after the stroke."
