"text": "What is betel nut? A deep red or purple smile is a common sight in many parts of Asia and the Pacific. But what’s behind it? This red residue is the telltale sign of the betel nut, which is chewed by millions of people across the globe. In its most basic form, betel nut is a seed of the Areca catechu, a type of palm tree. It’s commonly chewed after being ground up or sliced and wrapped in leaves of the Piper betle vine that have been coated with lime. This is known as a betel quid. Tobacco or flavorful spices may also be added. History History of a habit Betel nut has a long history in South and Southeast Asia and the Pacific Basin. In Guam and other Pacific islands, its use can be traced back as far as 2,000 years."

But just what is it Ragnar is consuming? SPOILER ALERT: This article contains information about season 4 of History Channel’s Vikings. Please proceed with caution if you wish to avoid spoilers. Season 4 of Vikings has seen Ragnar Lothbrok developing an addiction to the potent herbs Yidu is giving him. Fans first saw the introduction of the Asian blend of apparently euphoric herbs in episode 4 (entitled “Yol”) of Vikings. However, by episode 5, Ragnar was beginning to show the signs of a true addict when he demanded the herbs from Yidu and then took time out from Kattegat to consume them. But what is this herb that Yidu first described as a medicine? Let’s see if we can figure it out. Opium?"

Thiamine is used to digest and extract energy from the foods you eat by turning nutrients into useable energy in the form of “ATP”. Without high enough levels of thiamine, the molecules found in carbohydrates and proteins (in the form of branched-chain amino acids) cannot be properly used by the body to carry out various important functions. Thiamine is used in combination with other B vitamins, which make up the “B Vitamin Complex”, to regulate important functions of the cardiovascular system, endocrine system, and digestive system. Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin and is used in nearly every cell in the body. It is especially important for supporting energy levels and a healthy metabolism. A thiamine deficiency can cause weakness, chronic fatigue, heart complications, psychosis, and nerve damage. Thiamine can be found in many commonly eaten foods including yeasts, certain whole grains, beans, nuts, and meat. Additionally it is included in many vitamin B complex supplement products. Vitamin B1/Thiamine Deficiency Symptoms The clinical signs of a thiamine deficiency include: Anorexia or rapid weight loss Poor appetite Colitis Ongoing digestive problems such as diarrhea Nerve damage Nerve inflammation (neuritis)Fatigue Decrease in short-term memory Confusion Irritability Muscle weakness Mental changes such as apathy or depression Cardiovascular effects such as an enlarged heart A thiamine deficiency is not very common in western, developed nations."

"text": "\"General Information Symptoms and Causes Prevention and Treatment References CNS stimulants Prevention and Treatmentside effects and safety General: Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants should be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Stimulants should not be taken for reasons other than their intended medicinal use. Although CNS stimulants decrease appetite, they should not be used for weight loss or weight control, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional. When used for these purposes, many stimulants may cause dangerous side effects. Side effects: Side effects of central nervous system stimulants (CNS) vary depending on the specific drug. In general, short-term use may cause side effects such as anxiety, insomnia, dry mouth, depersonalization, feeling of euphoria, increased heartbeat, crying, dysphoria, decreased appetite, hyperventilation, irritability, depression, nervousness, paranoia, mood swings, restlessness, and shaking or trembling. Long-term use of stimulants may cause side effects such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, changes in mood, and increased or pounding heartbeat. Patients should talk to their healthcare providers if they experience any of these symptoms. Interactions: Patients should tell their healthcare providers if they have any other medical conditions or if they are taking any other drugs (prescription or over-the-counter), herbs, or supplements because they may interact with treatment. Stimulants should not be taken with other drugs, herbs, or supplements that have stimulant properties because they may cause additive effects."

You’re relaxed, everything seems funny, and nothing can possibly bother you. You’re probably feeling a little bit horny, or at least more so than usual. No, this is not happening in your parents’ basement after a few bowl hits. This is ancient Egypt, and you just ate some blue lotus flowers, a psychoactive drug that Egyptian royalty used to induce ecstatic states. Despite what you might have thought when you were 15, you didn’t discover drugs. Humans have consumed organic substances for their various effects for millennia. Where the Egyptians had blue lotus, Indians used nutmeg as an aphrodisiac, and Mayans chewed coca leaves for energy. To help you out with your intoxicant history, here’re 12 drugs used in ancient cultures, what they do and where to get them — if anywhere — today. Blue Lotus Who used it: Egyptians."

Areca nut Areca nuts hanging from the palm A ripe areca nut. Areca nut plantations in India The areca nut ( / ˈ ær ɪ k ə / or / ə ˈ r iː k ə /) is the fruit of the areca palm ( Areca catechu ), which grows in much of the tropical Pacific ( Melanesia and Micronesia ), Southeast and South Asia, and parts of east Africa. This fruit is commonly referred to as betel nut so it is easily confused with betel ( Piper betle) leaves that are often used to wrap it ( paan ). The term areca originated from the Malayalam word adakka (അടക്ക) [1] and dates from the 16th century, when Dutch and Portuguese sailors took the nut from Kerala to Europe. Consumption has many harmful effects on health and is carcinogenic to humans. Various compounds present in the nut, including arecoline (the primary psychoactive ingredient which is similar to nicotine), contribute to histologic changes in the oral mucosa. It is known to be a major risk factor for cancers ( squamous cell carcinoma) of the mouth and esophagus (food pipe)."

Both tobacco and alcohol are carcinogenic, which means they contain chemicals that can damage the DNA in cells and lead to cancer. The risk of mouth cancer increases significantly in people who smoke and drink heavily. Some people also chew tobacco or other substances that are carcinogenic. It's not known exactly what triggers the DNA changes that lead to mouth cancer and why only a small number of people develop it. Other risk factors Other risk factors for mouth cancer may include:chewing tobacco or other smokeless tobacco productschewing betel nuts with or without tobaccoa poor dietthe human papilloma virus (HPV)Smokeless tobacco Smokeless tobacco products include:chewing tobaccosnuff – powdered tobacco designed to be snorted Smokeless tobacco products aren't harmless and may increase your risk of developing mouth cancer, as well as other cancers, such as liver cancer, pancreatic cancer and oesophageal cancer. Betel nuts Betel nuts are mildly addictive seeds from the betel palm tree. They're widely used in many southeast Asian ethnic communities, such as people of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan origin. Betel nuts have a stimulant effect similar to coffee.

Share Email Print Feedback Background Carcinoma of the buccal mucosa is relatively uncommon in North America, compared with other oral cavity cancers such as carcinomas of the tongue or floor of the mouth. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common pathology and more prevalent in those who use tobacco and alcohol. The image below depicts buccal carcinoma. Early oral squamous cell carcinoma in the buccal mucosa arising from a chronic candidal leukoplakia in a person who smokes heavily. The lesion was a painless, chronic indurated lump. Problem As the orifice of the upper aerodigestive tract, the oral cavity plays a critical role in breathing, speech, and swallowing. The buccal region is particularly important in bolus formation, preventing food from spilling into the lateral oral gutters or extraorally during the oral preparatory phase of swallowing. Cancer of the buccal mucosa and subsequent treatment of the disease may interfere with these functions. Buccal carcinoma has the propensity to become aggressive, with high rates of locoregional recurrence. Diagnosis and treatment at an early stage leads to significantly improved prognosis and function over advanced disease."

For many individuals, however, little can be done to alter the underlying cause. However, there are methods to manage the symptoms of dry mouth. If the dryness is due to drugs or medications, it may be possible for a doctor to advise the individual to stop taking those drugs, reduce their intake, or switch to another \"\"less drying\"\" medication. If the dryness is due to a specific disease, such as diabetes, proper treatment of the disease will decrease the intensity of dry mouth symptoms. Occasionally, it is not known what causes dry mouth. Examples of these conditions include Sjögren's Syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis. In these instances, dry mouth symptoms are treated. Prescription medications should never be discontinued or decreased unless under the supervision of a doctor or pharmacist. Symptomatic treatment typically includes four areas: increasing existing saliva flow, replacing lost secretions, control of dental cavities, and specific measures, such as treatment of infections."

"text": "\"Brief Summary Learn more about this article Betel ( Piper betle) is a tropical shade-loving perennial evergreen vine. It is best known as a component of \"\"betel nut\"\" or \"\"betel quid\"\". Betel quid consists of slices of \"\"areca nut\"\" (usually the seed of the palm Areca catechu) wrapped in betel leaf, often with other components such as slaked lime ( calcium hydroxide paste) and tobacco or spices for flavoring. Chewing betel quid is addictive and is reportedly done daily by as many as 200 to 600 million people globally across the Indian subcontinent and through China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific--and immigrants to other parts of the world often continue to chew betel quid in their adopted countries. Among different populations, users may be demographically quite different, e.g., largely women in Cambodia, but mainly men among aboriginal Taiwanese. At least in the Western Pacific Region, there is evidence that the frequency of betel quid use is increasing and that this use is increasingly associated with the chewing of tobacco. Although chewing betel quid is encouraged by some traditional medicine practitioners, there is much scientific evidence of diverse and substantial harm to the user's health resulting from this practice, including the induction of oral precancerous lesions that have a high propensity to progress, periodontal disease, and a range of systemic problems. As these negative health impacts have become clearer, this has elevated concern among public health experts, including those at the World Health Organization and the U. S. Centers for Disease Control. Betel is typically propagated asexually from stem cuttings rather than from seeds. The leaves of other Piper species are sometimes substituted in betel chewing, but P. betle is the only one that has been domesticated specifically for chewing."

Sorry, I don't really agree. My mother is named Zoila and her father who picked her name always said it was a Greek name. He loved to read ancient greek literature and said that he got the name from greek writer named Zoilo and he just femalized it by using putting an A at the end instead of the O. I could be wrong, but given the fact that he named all his children (Popea, Ligia & Vinicio) with some sort of reference to Greek literature I think it holds water that he named his last and youngest Zoila in the same trend. So I'd have to say the name is Greek not Spanish.

"text": "Energy & Environment | Green Column Raising Awareness of Plastic Waste By BETTINA WASSENER AUG. 14, 2011HONG KONG — Most people are familiar with the concept of a carbon footprint. Many may also know there is such a thing as a water footprint. But whoever heard of a plastic footprint? Well, soon, more and more people will have. Starting in early October, hundreds of companies and institutions around the world will receive a questionnaire asking them to assess and report their use of plastic: how much they use, what processes they have for recycling and what — if any — policies they have to reduce their plastic consumption or to increase the proportion of recycled or biodegradable plastic within their organizations. Fairly simple questions, but ones that could help to thrust the issue of plastic waste and pollution onto the radars of corporations, investors and the public in a much bigger way. “What we’re trying to do is to have companies manage and use plastic much more wisely, and to receive recognition for doing so from both customers and investors,” said Doug Woodring, an environmental entrepreneur in Hong Kong who has a background in asset management and is the driving force behind the initiative. “Plastic pollution is a major global phenomenon that has crept up on us over the decades, and it really requires a global and comprehensive solution that includes systemic rethinks about usage and production. ”Announced last year, and due to be introduced formally in September, the Plastic Disclosure Project is trying to provide the solution that Mr. Woodring describes, by pushing the thinking about plastic pollution far beyond beach cleanups with an attempt to change the awareness and behavior of big users of plastic, which include not only companies but also universities, hospitals and sports groups."

"text": "Emmanuel Levinas First published Sun Jul 23, 2006; substantive revision Wed Aug 3, 2011Levinas's philosophy has been called ethics. If ethics means rationalist self-legislation and freedom (deontology), the calculation of happiness (utilitarianism), or the cultivation of virtues (virtue ethics), then Levinas's philosophy is not an ethics. Levinas claimed, in 1961, that he was developing a “first philosophy.” This first philosophy is neither traditional logic nor metaphysics, however. [ 1] It is an interpretive, phenomenological description of the rise and repetition of the face-to-face encounter, or the intersubjective relation at its precognitive core; viz., being called by another and responding to that other. If precognitive experience, that is, human sensibility, can be characterized conceptually, then it must be described in what is most characteristic to it: a continuum of sensibility and affectivity, in other words, sentience and emotion in their interconnection. [ 2]This entry will focus on Levinas's philosophy, rather than his Talmudic lessons (see the bibliography) and his essays on Judaism (notably, Difficult Freedom: Essays on Judaism, 1963). Levinas's philosophical project can be called constructivist. He proposes phenomenological description and a hermeneutics of lived experience in the world."

Changes were probably made, but this episode still feels like it’s driving toward an end. The show’s many story lines slowly begin to converge. And finally, the Stacey Boss plot starts to get interesting at the precise moment it intersects with the Major and Vaughn of it all, further complicating Major and Liv’s lives. When the episode opens, Liv is starving; she’s been avoiding horny librarian brains. She and Ravi, who is suffering from a wicked hangover after a night out with Peyton, are summoned to the scene of a triple homicide near the docks. Unfortunately, the three victims have all been decapitated, which means no brains for Liv."

[ 6] [7] [8] Agni also refers to one of the guardian deities of direction, who is typically found in southeast corners of Hindu temples. [ 9] In classical cosmology of Indian religions, Agni as fire has been one of the five inert impermanent constituents ( Dhatus) along with space ( Akasa ), water ( Ap ), air ( Vayu) and earth ( Prithvi ), the five combining to form the empirically perceived material existence ( Prakriti ). [ 7] [10] [11]In the Vedic literature, Agni is a major and oft invoked god along with Indra and Soma. [ 7] [12] Agni is considered as the mouth of the gods and goddesses, and the medium that conveys offerings to them in a homa (votive ritual). [ 6] [13] [14] He is conceptualized in ancient Hindu texts to exist at three levels, on earth as fire, in atmosphere as lightning, and in the sky as sun. This triple presence connects him as the messenger between gods and human beings in the Vedic thought. [ 7] The relative importance of Agni declined in the post-Vedic era, [15] as he was internalized [16] and his identity evolved to metaphorically represent all transformative energy and knowledge in the Upanishads and later Hindu literature.

Young, University of Ottawa Abstract Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) is a qualitative research methodology used to understand participants’ subjective realities through personal interpretations of their lived experiences and the meanings they attach to these experiences (Smith, 2011). IPA has been used predominantly in health psychology, with rising interest within the field of sport psychology and coaching. This article seeks to describe insights about the processes of IPA by a research team using the methodological approach for the first time. These experiences are shared against the backdrop of research exploring the lived experiences of Masters athletes within the context of coached competitive swim programs. We describe how the multiple facets of IPA influence the refinement of the research question, the planning and implementation of data collection, and data analysis and interpretation. We elaborate on our perceptions of the complexities of IPA and make recommendations for how future research teams might smoothly navigate the rigorous research process to yield rich in-depth data and interpretations.

"text": "Cold Flow Treatment: FAME, HVO & Diesel Blends Effective additization of various biodiesel, hydrogenated vegetable oil and mineral diesel blends is critical to optimal fuel performance By Werner A. Reimann and Bettina A. Siggelkow | October 28, 2013The recent two decades have been a period of constant change for diesel fuel specifications. The main driving forces have been initiatives to reduce vehicle emissions and, later, efforts to find access to renewable and sustainable resources with the aim of minimizing diesel fuel’s CO2 footprint while at the same time becoming independent of fossil feedstocks. Europe has been at the forefront of this revolutionary trend and is still at the leading edge of these developments. Quota politics began in Europe in 2003 when the biofuel directive was issued by the European Parliament and Council. The biofuel directive required a minimum biofuel quota of 2 percent beginning in 2005 and envisaged a stepwise increase to 5.75 percent by 2010. However, revised regulations became more ambitious and in line with the current EU directives, leading to today’s biodiesel quota, which is now at 7 percent with the declared target of reaching 10 percent by 2020. The quotas did stipulate blends of mineral diesel and biodiesel, so at first the majority of biodiesel was sold as B100. Only later, when tax relaxations were alleviated, did selling standard B100 became unprofitable and refiners started using biodiesel as a blending component. The major part of the biodiesel quota in Europe is still covered by first-generation fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) biodiesel, but recent fiscal legislation has made it possible for more second-generation biodiesel (HVO) to be brought into the market. Recent reconsiderations by the European council suggest capping the quota of edible vegetable oils processes to 6 percent with the gap in 2020 targets to be made up by alternative feedstock with no land use change/indirect land use change issues."

Levine Feb 13, 2017 at 6:29pm (Photo: Dean Buscher/The CW)Chyler Leigh remains best known for playing Dr. Lexie Grey on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, but today she plays Alex Danvers on The CW’s Supergirl. In the series, based on the character from the DC Comics, Leigh stars as Alex Danvers. She’s an agent at the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO) and Supergirl’s adoptive sister. For part of Season One, Kara (Melissa Menoist) didn’t know that her sister worked at the DEO, but she eventually found out. Now, Kara, Alex, J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood) and Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan) work together at the DEO to keep National City and the planet safe. Season Two has also been a big year for Alex, since she finally found love. She’s dating Detective Maggie Sawyer (Floriana Lima), and came out to her mother and Kara. In the February 13 episode “Luthors,” Alex will finally come out to the rest of the team. You can follow Leigh on Twitter at @Chy_Leigh and on Instagram at @Chy_leigh.

"text": "\"Home › Frequently Asked Questions › RSS & Podcasting FAQ › Back Issues › The Treaty With Tripoli The Treaty With Tripoli Print Email This June marks the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the Treaty with Tripoli, declaring the United States not to be founded on Christianity. This article first appeared in \"\"Progressive World,\"\" December, 1955. By Sherman D. Wakefield T here frequently appears in the Freethought press, of whatever name, a quotation from or reference to that part of the United States Treaty with Tripoli of 1796-97 to the effect that the United States was not founded on the Christian religion. Generally the so-called quotations are misquotations and the words are attributed to George Washington as author. Since there is no evidence whatever that George Washington wrote the Treaty or any part of it, the most that can be said is that he approved of it. . . . He objected to atheists using this quotation and called it \"\"a most flagrant misquotation for evil purposes.\"\" To which it should be stated that the passage in question is genuine and is not used for \"\"evil purposes\"\" unless truth and Americanism are evil purposes. This does not refer to the original text of the treaty now in the Department of State files, with the Arabic text on the right-hand page and the English translation on the left, but to an outline drafted by Joel Barlow in English which he used in negotiating the treaty before it was drawn up and agreed to by both sides. Barlow did not alone draft the treaty as it stands, but he worked it out with the Moslem leaders and then translated it into English. What are the facts regarding this important treaty?"

"text": "\"Gallipoli The Gallipoli Campaign – or \"\" Çanakkale Savaşı\"\" (Battle of Çanakkale) as it is known in Turkey – has a special place among all the battlefields Turks have fought during the First World War. It is not only the strategic importance of the Straits and the decisiveness of the campaign, which make it so important. It was an epic drama, where the human aspect of the war was much more significant. Soldiers fought on hills and valleys under a rain of fire. Trench fighting was tragic in Gallipoli, where the size of the no man’s land was no more than just a few meters in some cases. Visitors to the Gallipoli peninsula today cannot help losing themselves under the spell of the beautiful landscape. In 1915, the peninsula was synonymous with death and suffering. “Çanakkale” has a very important meaning for Turks. It was the place where the army fought against a mighty multinational force supported by the strongest navy of the time and managed to stop the enemy and prevent them from invading the Turkish homeland. The size of the loss makes the importance of the campaign even bigger."

Travers April 25, 1915 - Cape Helles On the 17th of April 1915, Hasan Ethem, a young Turkish soldier in the famous 57th Regiment of Mustafa Kemal's 19th Division, a teacher in civilian life, wrote a last letter to his mother from Gallipoli. In part of the letter Ethem invoked the god of the Turks:\"\"My God, all that these heroic soldiers want is to introduce Thy name to the French and the English. Please accept this honorable desire of ours and make our bayonets sharper so that we may destroy our enemy! . . . You have already destroyed a great number of them so destroy some more. \"\" In contrast is another letter to a mother, this time from Lieutenant. Elliott, West Yorkshire Regiment, written in late August 1915. Elliott landed at Suvla Bay in early August and recalled that although the East Yorkshire Regiment in front of it were engaged with the enemy:\"\"Well, that was their funeral. We had water and cover and were quite happy. \"\" But then the East Yorkshire Regiment and its B Company urgently requested reinforcements;\"\"We cursed the East Yorks, B Company.., the Turks and the Kaiser for ten solid minutes while the men put out their fires and got into their equipment. \"\" At dawn the next day, 9 August, Elliott recalled hearing that\"\"awful cry: Allah!"

It doesn’t exactly imply a great deal of critical distance, but you can see why the nickname has stuck. It is hard to think of a recent album that feels more commanding and imperious than Lemonade, not just in its lyrics – where defiant woman-scorned wrath meets righteous social anger – but in its music. It sounds not like an R&B record, but a push to dominate all of pop. “ Country, alt-rock, left-field electronics, hoary Jack White blues-rock?

During its history, it did much to sustain Islamic civilization. Outsiders and insiders have had different perceptions of the Ottoman Empire. Outsiders often viewed it as a threat; for insiders, including for much of the time non-Muslims, it represented stability and security. Towards the end of its existence outsiders saw it as decadent and corrupt. Even though it had embarked on a process of democratization that process had been sabotaged by the Young Turks (see below). Entangled by debt, the empire tried to minimize its involvement in the web of European politics by aligning itself with Germany, with whom trade had increased. Germany had not played the British game of on-off, hot and cold diplomacy by supporting the Ottomans in one war but not in another. Towards the end, treatment of non-Turkish subjects had deteriorated and the series of incidents known as the Armenian Genocide, though disputed by Turks, remains for many a blot on the Ottoman record. In the end, it was the desire to retain the empire and to deny non-Turks and non-Muslims a say in its affairs that brought about the empire's collapse."

"text": "The Difference Between Saute, Pan Fry and Stir Fry G. Stephen Jones • April 30, 2010 • 25 Comments What’s The Difference Between Saute, Pan Fry and Stir Fry There was an interesting discussion over at The Reluctant Gourmet Cooking Community a while back regarding the difference, if any, between pan frying and sautéing . The two techniques are similar in that they are both dry heat cooking methods in which foods are cooked over direct heat. The differences between the two are subtle, but it is worth making the distinction, just so there is no confusion, especially when reading a recipe. SautéTo sauté means to cook small pieces of food over medium-high to high heat until browned on the outside and cooked through. I think of shrimp, cut vegetables and meat that has been cut into small pieces. The term sauté comes from the French “to jump. ”The jumping is of two types, one more important to the technique than the other. The jumping refers to the way the pieces of food appear to jump in the pan as the moisture is forced out by the high heat of the pan and oil. Jump also refers to the very chef-ly manipulation of the pan, allowing the cook to toss the pieces a bit into the air so they cook evenly. While that maneuver is impressive, it is not necessary to achieve a sauté since all it really does is make the food leave the cooking surface, and therefore slow down the cooking process a bit."

Origin of Dance in India : In Hindu scriptures, dance is believed to have been conceived by Lord Brahma. Brahma inspired the sage Bharata Mun i to write the Natya Shastra, a book on performing arts, from which practice of dance and drama emerged. He used pathya (words) from the Rigveda, abhinaya (gestures) from the Yajurveda, geet (music) from the Samaveda and rasa (emotions) from the Atharvaveda to form the Natyaveda (body of knowledge about dance). The 8 Principal Classical Indian Dance : Bharatnatyam : This dance form originated in the temples and courts of southern India. Later it was documented as a performing art in the 19th century by four brothers known as the Tanjore Quartet (musicians). Their musical compositions are use for Bharata Natyam dance repertoire even today.2. Kathak : This dance form origin from the groups of poets of ancient northern India, known as Kathaks, or story tellers. These poets, performing in village squares and temple, mostly specialized in recounting mythological and moral tales from the scriptures. They use to perform those stories with hand gestures and facial expressions."

How many times can you keep reusing it until it goes bad? I remember you writing in your Wok Skills post that you can reuse oil until it becomes dark and somewhat bubbly. However, a popular Japanese TV show reported that a katsu made with old oil tasted superior to katsu made with new oil. I also read that many tempura places use a mix of old oil and new oil, which people claim adds a bit more flavor and color in comparison to using solely new oil.—Sent by surcredibility I get a lot of feedback from readers. Whenever I post a recipe that includes deep frying, I inevitably receive a string of emails or comments asking my what to do with all the leftover oil after you've.

It is a high-heat process, promoting browning and, in some cases, a Maillard reaction. Since the food is only partly submerged, it must be turned over partway through the cooking process.

Photograph: RTÉThe following is a transcription of a notably controversial passage of dialogue from Gay Byrne's interview on Irish TV, specifically from an episode of a 'The Meaning of Life' series, where Stephen Fry was the guest of the day. It was uploaded to Youtube by the Irish public service televion RTÉ, and received more than two million on-line viewings, prior to actual broadcasting on Sunday, 1 February 2015. Gay Byrne: ... suppose it's all true and you walk up to the pearly gates and you are confronted by God. What would Stephen Fry say to him, her or it? Stephen Fry: I will basically (it's known as theodicy I think) I'll say, \"\"Bone cancer in children? What's that about? How dare you! How dare you create a world where there is such misery that is not our fault! It's not right."

"text": "\"Guppy Pregnancy Photo Progression; When Is My Guppy Due? Is My Guppy In Labor?by Jules Poet 3 years ago117,140This post is a reflection of my experience with my pregnant guppy. I took photos of the progression of her pregnancy to document the the growth of her belly and other changes that I saw. Hopefully these photos will help others to determine how far along their pregnant guppy is and when she might be due. It is important to remember that guppies can be pregnant for a range of time, usually lasting around one month (22 to 31 days gestation). I brought my female fancy guppy, Bridget, home on June 21, 2014. As far as I could tell she was already pregnant. She had that black gravid spot towards the middle of her body. I brought her home because my male guppy, Butters, didn’t get along well with other male guppies. He was a bully."

One of the questions we are asked most often is what happens when olive oil is heated and/or used for frying. The important thing about cooking with any oil (olive or otherwise) is not to heat the oil over its smoke point (also referred to as smoking point). The smoke point refers to the temperature at which a cooking fat or oil begins to break down. The substance smokes or burns, and gives food an unpleasant taste. But what is the smoke point of olive oil? Depending on where you look for an answer, you may get vastly different ideas. Relationship between Smoke Point and Quality of Olive Oil The smoke point of oil varies with its quality. High quality extra virgin olive oils (with low free fatty acids) have a high smoke point. They are an excellent choice, but an expensive one."

August 20, 2015 @ 5:48 am · Filed by Mark Liberman under Sociolinguistics« previous post | next post »Julianne Escobedo Shepherd, \"\" LOL Vocal Fry Rules U R All Dumb \"\", Jezebel 7/30/2015: This week, in shit-hot stuff happening on the internet, once-great feminist pundit Naomi Wolf wrote a column about how vocal fry is Keeping Women Down, and then other women across the internet rebutted her, rightly positing that when your dads bitch about the way you talk it’s because they’re just trying to not listen to you talk, period, so fuck your dads. […] Vocal fry, as interpreted via California’s finest Calabasians, is a weapon of the young, disaffected woman, not a way to connote that they don’t care about anything, per se—just that specifically, they do not care about you. It is the speaking equivalent of “you ain’t shit,” an affectation of the perpetually unbothered. It’s a protective force between the pejorative You—dads, Sales types, bosses, basically anyone who represents the establishment—and the collective Us, which is to say, a misunderstood generation that inherited a whole landscape of bullshit because y’all didn’t fix it when you had the goddamn chance. It’s a way of communicating to you “We have this handled,” and also “Get off my dick.” It’s a proscenium of absolute dismissal and it is one of the most beautiful mannerisms millennials possess. [ Oddly, given Ms. Shepherd's anti-\"\"dad\"\" animus, in my experience it's mostly been \"\"moms\"\" (that is, older women) who complain about young women's use of fry or creak. ] There are lots of ideas out there about what vocal fry \"\"means\"\", or rather, what people convey by using it. It's been identified as a \"\"city girl squawk\"\" associated with upper-middle-class New Yorkers; as an imitation of California Valley Girl style; as a vocal pathology; as a consequence of aging; as an attempt to sound serious by using a low pitch; as an attempt to sound sexy; and now as a way to convey interpersonal indifference."

When the eggs get a silver color, they will hatch that night. You will notice that each egg has a silver, reflective eye. This means that when the lights go out they will hatch. You must remove the clownfish fry from the tank and put them into the fry tank. To do this, turn off every filter and pump in the tank. There must be no current or flow in the tank. Once the lights have gone off, wait about 30 minutes and shine a bright flashlight into the water. A mag light works great."

"text": "\"Difference Between Saute and Stir Fry Posted on July 17, 2011 by koshal Last updated on: March 12, 2015Saute vs Stir Fry Saute and Stir fry are two important cooking techniques that show some differences between them. The Saute and Stir fry techniques are very popular in France and Chinese cuisines respectively. These two techniques have moved to the cuisines of the other parts of the world as well. The difference between saute and stir fry lies in the ingredients that are used, the amount of fat used, the type of pan used, the size of the food items, and the method followed in stirring the food in the fat during cooking. When you pay attention to all these details you will see that there indeed exists some difference between saute and stir fry. What is Saute? Saute technique uses very high heat in a small amount of fat. The fat used in Saute type of cooking technique is clarified butter or oil. The reason for the use of clarified butter instead of plain butter in Saute is that clarified butter has a high smoke point than plain butter and can withstand the high heating procedure involved. On the other hand, plain butter does not withstand the high heating involved in the process and it gets burnt."

In addition, it contained a list of 33 elements, or substances that could not be broken down further. His list also included light (lumière) and caloric (calorique), which he believed to be material substances. Lavoisier himself grouped them into four categories on the basis of their chemical properties: Simple substances belonging to all the kingdoms of nature, which may be considered as the elements of bodies (gases),Oxidable and Acidifiable simple Substances not Metallic (nonmetals),Oxidable and Acidifiable simple Metallic Bodies (metals),Salifiable simple Earthy Substances (earths).

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In chemistry, bis (oxazoline) ligands (often abbreviated BOX ligands) are a class of privileged chiral ligands containing two oxazoline rings. They are typically C 2‑symmetric and exist in a wide variety of forms; with structures based around CH 2 or pyridine linkers being particularly common (often generalised BOX and Py BOX respectively). The coordination complexes of bis (oxazoline) ligands are used in asymmetric catalysis. These ligands are examples of C 2-symmetric ligands. Contents [ hide ]1 Synthesis2 Catalytic applications2.1 Carbon–carbon bond forming reactions2.2 Other reactions3 History4 See also5 References Synthesis [ edit]Further information: Oxazoline § Synthesis The synthesis of oxazoline rings is well established and in general proceeded via the cyclisation of a 2‑amino alcohol with any of a number of suitable functional groups. In the case of bis (oxazoline)s, synthesis is most conveniently achieved by using bi-functional starting materials; as this allows both rings to be produced at once. Of the materials suitable, di carboxylic or di nitrile compounds are the most commonly available and hence the majority bis (oxazoline) ligands are produced from these materials. Part of the success of the BOX and Py BOX motifs lies in their convenient one step synthesis from malononitrile and dipicolinic acid, which are commercially available at low expense. Chirality is introduced with the amino alcohols, as these are prepared from amino acids and hence are chiral (e.g. valinol ). Catalytic applications [ edit]In general, for methylene bridged BOX ligands the stereochemical outcome is consistent with a twisted square planar intermediate that was proposed based on related crystal structures.

The first known racemic mixture was racemic acid, which Louis Pasteur found to be a mixture of the two enantiomeric isomers of tartaric acid. A sample with only a single enantiomer is an enantiomerically pure, enantiopure or homochiral compound.

Nomenclature [ edit]A racemic mixture is denoted by the prefix (±)- or dl- (for sugars the prefix dl - may be used), indicating an equal (1:1) mixture of dextro and levo isomers. Also the prefix rac- (or racem-) or the symbols RS and SR (all in italic letters) are used. If the ratio is not 1:1 (or is not known), the prefix (+)/ (−), d/l - or d/l- (with a slash) is used instead. The usage of d and l is strongly discouraged by IUPAC. [ 2] [3]Properties [ edit]A racemate is optically inactive, meaning that there is no net rotation of plane- polarized light. Although the two enantiomers rotate plane-polarized light in opposite directions, the rotations cancel because they are present in equal amounts."

The half-life of Bi-209 is so long that, until 2003 it wasn’t even thought to be radioactive; instead, it was considered to be the heaviest stable isotope of any element. That is to say, before 2003, Bismuth was thought to be the element with the highest atomic number (83) that has at least one nonradioactive isotope and all isotopes of all elements with an at. no. greater than 83 were radioactive. Now we know that, in fact, all isotopes of bismuth are radioactive. And Bi-209 is the least radioactive of any isotope of any element that decays via alpha-decay, with a half-life of 1.9 x 10^19 years, or 19,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. This is more than a billion times greater than the age of the universe!However, there are a few radionuclides that have an even longer t 1/2 than Bi-209. The “world record” belongs to Tellurium-128. Te-128 undergoes double beta-decay with a half-life of 2.2 x 10^24 years (2.2 septillion years; I think that’s more than a hundred trillion times greater than the age of the universe!)"

Reactions [ edit]One of the uses of HMDS is as a reagent in condensation reactions of heterocyclic compounds such as in the microwave synthesis of a derivative of xanthine: [3]HMDS can be used to convert alcohols into trimethylsilyl ethers. HMDS can be used to silylate laboratory glassware and make it hydrophobic, or automobile glass, just as Rain-X does.

The inhabitants were mostly the Igbo people who led the secession due to economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions among the various peoples of Nigeria. The creation of the new country was among the causes of the Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War. Land of the Rising Sun was chosen for Biafra's national anthem, and the state was formally recognised by Gabon, Haiti, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania and Zambia. Other nations which did not give official recognition but which did provide support and assistance to Biafra included Israel, France, Portugal, Rhodesia, South Africa and the Vatican City. Biafra also received aid from non-state actors, including Joint Church Aid, Holy Ghost Fathers of Ireland, Caritas International, Mark Press and U. S. Catholic Relief Services. After two-and-a-half years of war, during which a million civilians had died in fighting and from famine, Biafran forces agreed to a ceasefire with the Nigerian Federal Military Government, and Biafra was reintegrated into Nigeria.

( August 2008) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A maximum wage, also often called a wage ceiling, is a legal limit on how much income an individual can earn. [ 1] It is a prescribed limitation which can be used to affect change in an economic structure, but its effects are unrelated to the benefits of minimum wage laws used currently by some states to enforce minimum earnings. [ 2] A maximum wage does not directly redistribute wealth, but it does limit the nominal income of specific workers within a society. Advocates argue that a maximum wage could limit the possibility for inflation of a currency or economy, similar to the way a minimum wage may limit deflation. If these hypotheses are true, implementing both pieces of legislation would achieve an economy with wages that cannot inflate or deflate past the point of the relative maximum/minimum wage (respectively). Accordingly, wages in the economy would hover between the maximum and minimum, and the populace would live between the two wage points. Supporters say a maximum wage could also reduce devaluation of a currency by limiting the amount any member of the populace can earn, and consequently effectively limiting the availability of currency."

"text": "The Arrival of European Traders During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, European traders started to get involved in the Slave Trade. European traders had previously been interested in African nations and kingdoms, such as Ghana and Mali, due to their sophisticated trading networks. Traders then wanted to trade in human beings. They took enslaved people from western Africa to Europe and the Americas. At first this was on quite a small scale but the Slave Trade grew during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as European countries conquered many of the Caribbean islands and much of North and South America. Europeans who settled in the Americas were lured by the idea of owning their own land and were reluctant to work for others. Convicts from Britain were sent to work on the plantations but there were never enough so, to satisfy the tremendous demand for labour, planters purchased slaves. They wanted the enslaved people to work in mines and on tobacco plantations in South America and on sugar plantations in the West Indies. Millions of Africans were enslaved and forced across the Atlantic, to labour in plantations in the Caribbean and America. Slavery changed when Europeans became involved, as it led to generation after generation of peoples being taken from their homelands and enslaved forever."

"text": "Ibo The Ibo language, also spelled Igbo, is one of the more prominent languages in modern-day Nigeria. It has gained global recognition thanks to a number of well-known Ibo writers, notably the acclaimed novelist Chinua Achebe. The depiction of pre-colonial Ibo life recounted in Achebe’s renowned book “Things Fall Apart” offers an intriguing look at the traditional life of the Ibo people and a compelling description of the effects of colonialism on traditional Ibo life. The real-life history of the Ibo people upon which Achebe based his book is equally interesting, especially when studied alongside the development of the Ibo language. Classification and Early History of the Ibo Language The Ibo language is classified as a member of the Benue-Congo subgroup of the Niger-Congo language family. The Ibo language is the native tongue of the Ibo people who reside primarily in southeastern Nigeria. Concrete evidence of a sophisticated Ibo society in southeastern Nigeria can be traced as far back as the early 9th century, thanks to the remains found at the archaeological site of Igbo Ukwu. Evidence from Igbo Ukwu reveals that early Ibo ancestors had already developed specialized tools, means of artistic production, and a well-organized society by the 9th century. Traditional Ibo society was centered on small communities and for the most part was ruled by an assembly of common citizens, rather than a single king or priest-king. This method of pre-colonial government was rare in Western African ethnic communities."

The mythical creature, the Phoenix, was referenced by early church leaders highlighting the beauty of reinvention with fire as both the impetus and the method for change. We serve a God who is redemptive, and can take the worst situations and use them for his glory.

Both were brought to the Lotus Hotel by the Fury Alecto, who was disguised as a lawyer in order to protect them. Alecto was also instructed by Hades to bathe them in the River Lethe to wipe their memories. After their mother died, the Oracle, showing up shortly after the destruction of the hotel, was cursed by an angry Hades to never have the Oracle 's soul rest and to be locked in that body, even after it died, until he and his children became accepted in Olympus."

[ Warning: This story contains spoilers from \"\"Love Songs (In the Key of Gallagher),\"\" the fifth season finale for Showtime's Shameless . ] Showtime's Shameless had all of its characters questioning what they knew about love and relationships during Sunday's season five finale, and true to form, to mixed results. Fiona ( Emmy Rossum) was given a choice by her musician husband Gus ( Steve Kazee) about whether or not she wanted to be with him — and she ran right into Sean's ( Dermot Mulroney) embrace, only for him to point out he doesn't want to be the guy sleeping with a good guy's wife. Debbie ( Emma Kenney) decided she wanted to get pregnant to instantly become part of her teenage boyfriend's ( Luca Oriel) picture perfect family forever — without asking him how he felt about a potential baby. After being publicly dumped by his college sweetheart, Lip ( Jeremy Allen White) realized he was falling in love with his college professor ( Sasha Alexander) — after her husband watched them in bed together. Read More The Faces of Pilot Season 2015Ian ( Cameron Monaghan) saw what a bad relationship his bipolar mother was in and came home to Mickey ( Noel Fisher) only to break up with him after a fundamental disagreement about his need to be medicated. The argument left Mickey in tears. Sammi seemingly returned from the dead and took multiple shots at him, leading to a police pursuit.

Duke of Venice: Introduced to us in Act I, Scene III, he sends Othello with his wife Desdemona to Cypress to thwart a suspected Turkish invasion there. The Duke hopes Othello's leadership of his Venetian forces will see the Venetian's triumphant. When Brabantio tries to have Othello punished for allegedly seducing his daughter Desdemona with witchcraft, the Duke displays his wisdom, learning the truth by allowing Brabantio, Othello and Desdemona to tell their sides of the story. He later wisely tells Brabantio to accept Othello and Desdemona's marriage, arguing Brabantio will gain a \"\"son\"\" in the process. Responsible for Cassio being made Governor of Cypress (replacing Othello), in Act IV, Scene I and for Othello being recalled from Cypress. Brabantio: Desdemona's father and a senator in Venice, he is initially outraged in Act I, Scene I when Iago and Roderigo unfairly report that his fair daughter has been seduced by Othello who must have been using \"\"magic\"\" to persuade her to be intimate with him. In Act I, Scene III, Brabantio tries to petition the Duke to punish Othello, but this fails when it is learned that Desdemona fell in love with Othello by her own free will. Told by the Duke to accept Othello and Desdemona's marriage, Brabantio resists, never liking Othello despite his reputation as a soldier, which is how Othello is readily accepted and respected by the Duke and others... Gratiano: Brother to Brabantio, we see little of him, except largely in Act V, Scene I, when he discovers with Lodovico, the wounded Cassio, thought to have been wounded by Roderigo when we later learn it was really Iago who stabbed him. Lodovico: Kinsman to Brabantio, and very active in Act V, Scenes I and II, he discovers the wounded Cassio along with Gratiano and is scolded with Gratiano by Iago for not doing more to help Cassio when both men are still unaware that Iago wounded Cassio, not Roderigo."

With lines that stream around the block for its highly-limited but coveted products that holds a strong emphasis on quality, Supreme has notoriously created an unparalleled hype through a calculated equation of low supply = high demand. Sticking by its grass root aesthetics, the brand is adverse to selling out. Founded back in 1994 by James Jebbia, the brand is entering its second decade of existence, and continues to reinvent its staple designs with ingenuity, its most recent being the brand’s fall/winter lookbook. But as exclusive as its products are, entry into the church of Supreme is even more sought after. From employees to members of its skate team, Supreme’s roster had to fit the right bill. Apart from the attraction of working for such a revered brand, the lessons learnt during one’s time at Supreme would only inspire Supreme alumnus and current employees to pave their own way in design and fashion. However, the Supreme family extends far beyond its immediate skate and design team, with Gonz’s Krooked Skateboards, Eddie Cruz’s Undefeated and Dave Ortiz’s DQM often mentioned in the same breath within skateparks or LES dive bars. Rubbing elbows with these names are 10 more people affiliated with Supreme (either on its skate team or as an employee) who have proven themselves to be creative forces to be reckoned with."

Iago positions Roderigo with a rapier (a type of sword) in a place where he will be able to ambush Cassio. Iago then withdraws himself, although Roderigo asks him not to go too far in case he needs help killing Cassio. Cassio enters, and Roderigo stabs at him but fails to pierce Cassio’s armor. Cassio stabs and wounds Roderigo. Iago darts out in the commotion, stabs Cassio in the leg, and exits. Not knowing who has stabbed him, Cassio falls. At this moment, Othello enters. Hearing Cassio’s cries of murder, Othello believes that Iago has killed him. Inspired by what he believes to be Iago’s successful vengeance, Othello returns to his bedroom to kill Desdemona."

"text": "\"Charlie Phaure Answered Aug 21, 2017 · Author has 645 answers and 177.1k answer views Any compounds containing the CH3C=O group or the CH3CH (OH) group give a positive result with the iodoform test. When I2 and Na OH is added to a compound containing one of these groups, a pale yellow precipitate of iodoform (triiodomethane) is formed. The iodoform test can therefore be used to identify aldehydes and ketones; is the compound is an aldehyde then it must be ethanal (this is the only aldehyde with the CH3C=O group). This occurs as three I atoms replace the H atoms of CH3C=OR, and the C-C bond breaks due to the electron withdrawing effect of the three I atoms (as I is more electronegative than C) forming CHI3 and the salt anion of a carboxylic acid (depending on the R group of the original compound, which influences the length of the carbon chain of the anion RCOO- that is formed). This test can also be used to identify alcohols; if the alcohol is a tertiary alcohol then it gives no result as it cannot be be oxidised. If the alcohol is a primary alcohol then it must be ethanol (as this is oxidised to ethanal, which is the only aldehyde that gives a positive result with the iodoform test). All secondary alcohols give a positive result, as they are oxidised to ketones.15k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Ayaz Bugti Related Questions More Answers Below What is the reaction of iodoform test for alcohol?

A book in any format may read the same, but it seems there’s something about the smell of print that e-books just can’t capture—for now. Earlier this summer, New York Times tech blogger Nick Bilton wrote about wandering into a West Village bookstore on a visit to New York:“I immediately felt a sense of nostalgia that I haven’t felt in a long time. The scent of physical books—the paper, the ink, the glue—can conjure up memories of a summer day spent reading on a beach, a fall afternoon in a coffee shop, or an overstuffed chair by a fireplace as rain patters on a windowsill. ”But amidst this nostalgic reverie, he considers the advantages of e-books: their search functionality, ease of transport, the ability to share favorite passages with friends. He leaves the bookstore without buying anything. Yet for some, the added conveniences of electronic books can never make up for the loss of the physical experience of reading a print book. The author Ray Bradbury famously was never a fan of e-books:“Those aren’t books. . . . A computer does not smell. There are two perfumes to a book."

"text": "\"Heidi Cool, Born and raised in the United States, but have also traveled beyond. Answered Mar 19In the simplest sense “Caucasian” is used as a synonym for white. It still appears on many government forms and some science papers and that seems to perpetuate its ongoing use. There are also some who mistakenly think it is more “politically correct,” when instead it causes confusion. In reality we should stop using the word Caucasian because it originates from a racial classification system that isn’t valid. We’re all part of the same human species and race is an artificial construct that isn’t supported by science. I personally think it would make more sense for us to use color terms like white, black and brown when describing visual appearance and geographic terms such as Western European when discussing ethnic ancestry. Since many people have mixed ancestry we could come up with new terms for that as well. Then we could describe things more logically. I could say my friend X has light brown skin and European and African ancestry while I have white skin and northern European ancestry."

"text": "Identify, Prevent, and Remove Mold and Mildew from Books Imagine: You just came across a wonderful book in your favorite used book or thrift store, and it seems to be everything that you were looking for to add to your shelf. It is nearly perfect, except for the pervasive, dank smell that comes along with it. Unfortunately, that smell can be an indication of improper storage in a cold, damp basement or uninsulated attic, leaving it open to the growth of mold and mildew. These fungi are the most common culprits of the familiar “old book smell,” but that odor is the least of the detrimental effects possible. Mold and mildew live off of organic material (leather, wood, paper, cloth) and over time their presence can weaken the structure of the book, stain the cover and pages, and prompt negative effects in your health, especially for folks with allergies or asthma. It is important to identify the active growth of mold and mildew and remove it before it spreads through your entire library!Identification Mold: Mold is a type of fungus that can and will grow on anything, as long as it can find a food source and the appropriate humidity for its development. It can develop in patches of threads, thick spider-webs or fuzzy spots, and it appears most often on natural, porous surfaces such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, leather, and paper. It reproduces by sending out clouds of spores, hence it's ability to “leap” from book to book. You probably have mold growth on your book if you observe any of the following problems:the presence of fuzzy growth, in just about any color you can imaginestringy, white filaments stretching across porous surfacesevidence of past water damagestrange spots or stains Mildew: Mold is often accompanied by mildew. While they share some similarities, they are not the same kind of fungus."

It comes from the Old French for \"\"pack animal driver. \"\" 2/10Turophile Definition:a lover of cheese; a cheese fancier About the Word: This term - probably coined by an American radio host in 1938 - is far less commonly used than oenophile. Still, someone who passionately enjoys wine and cheese might be described as an oenophile turophile.3/10Xenophile Definition:one attracted to foreign things (as manners, styles, or food)About the Word: The Greek xenos means a stranger or guest; xenophobia (\"\"fear of strangers\"\") is more familiar than xenophilia.

Answered Jul 10, 2013Originally Answered: Why are the unidentified dead bodies known as John Doe (Male) and Jane Doe (Female)? Any reason behind that? The \"\"John Doe\"\" custom dates back to the reign of England's King Edward III, during the legal debate over something called the Acts of Ejectment. This debate involved a hypothetical landowner, referred to as \"\"John Doe,\"\" who leased land to another man, the equally fictitious \"\"Richard Roe,\"\" who then took the land as his own and \"\"ejected,\"\" or evicted, poor \"\"John Doe.\"\" These names -- John Doe and Richard Roe -- had no particular significance, aside from \"\"Doe\"\" (a female deer) and \"\"Roe\"\" (a small species of deer found in Europe) being commonly known nouns at the time. But the debate became a hallmark of legal theory, and the name \"\"John Doe\"\" in particular gained wide currency in both the legal world and general usage as a generic stand-in for any unnamed person. \"\" John Doe\"\" and \"\"Richard Roe\"\" are, to this day, mandated in legal procedure as the first and second names given to unknown defendants in a case (followed, if necessary, by \"\"John Stiles\"\" and \"\"Richard Miles\"\").

"text": "\"Quora User, Another Confused Soul Answered Dec 7, 2015A bicameral legislature is the lawmaking body of a system of government where authority is shared between two separate houses, or chambers, that work together to make laws. In the United States, the two chambers are called the House of Representatives and the Senate; we refer to them collectively as Congress. There are many other countries with bicameral legislatures. The length of term and the method of appointment, or election to serve, vary from place to place. For example: Algeria: Council of the Nation, including some appointed and some indirectly elected members, and National People's Assembly, which is directly elected by the people Australia: House of Representatives and Senate, both directly elected by the people Brazil: Federal Senate ( Senado Federal) and Chamber of Deputies ( Camara dos Deputados ), both directly elected by the people India: Council of States ( Rajya Sabha ), including some appointed and some indirectly elected members, and People's Assembly ( Lok Sabha ), almost entirely directly elected United Kingdom: House of Commons, directly elected, and House of Lords, some appointed and some hereditary Notably, there are two types of bicameral legislatures to consider. In some countries, the bicameral legislature also has executive authority, usually referred to as a Parliament, which means that the members both write and carry out their laws. In others, including the U. S., the executive branch has separate authority from the legislative branch, the power to execute but not write law.

In the bicameral system, the presence of two chambers is a must. You will find a large measure of variety in the composition, tasks and powers of both of these chambers or houses while studying the bicameral legislature system of a country. It is the major feature of the bicameral system that it has one upper house and one lower house. The functionality of these houses is specific in nature that doesn’t contradict to each other as it is known to the members of both the houses.

The major obligations of the upper house of the bicameral legislature are consist of the revise, improve, and amend the law itself with less party pressure in most of the cases.

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Connecticut Compromise also know as The Great Compromise as follows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Compr... The Connecticut Compromise, also known as the Great Compromise, was an essential agreement between large and small states reached during the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 that in part defined the legislative structure and representation that each state would have under the United States Constitution. It proposed a bicameral legislature, resulting in the current United States Senate and House of Representatives. Context On May 29, 1787, Edmund Randolph of the Virginia delegation proposed the creation of a legislature consisting of a lower and upper house. Membership in the lower house was to be allocated in proportion to state population, and candidates were to be nominated and elected by the people of each state. This proposal is known as the Virginia Plan. Membership in the upper house was to be allocated in the same way, but candidates were to be nominated by the state legislatures and elected by the members of the lower house. Less populous states like Delaware were afraid that such an arrangement would result in their voices and interests being drowned out by the larger states. In response, on June 15, 1787, William Patterson of the New Jersey delegation proposed the creation of a legislature consisting of a single house. Each state was to be allotted one representative in this body, regardless of population."

Thus, a bicameral parliament or bicameral legislature is a legislature which consists of two chambers or houses. Bicameralism is a defining feature of the idea of mixed government. With the exception of Nebraska, that operates with a unicameral legislature, every state in America is bicameral. Historical review Traditionally, when a nation used a bicameralism system, the first, or lower, chamber was intended to represent the lower classes of the citizenry. Members of this chamber were often elected from the populace. The second, or upper, chamber was intended to be representative of the wealthy elite and national power-holders. These types of chambers could have direct elections, but members could also be appointed or elected indirectly. In this type of bicameral situation, the second chamber held immense power. It could veto all legislation passed by the first chamber and was responsible for making policy decisions."

"text": "\"In government, bicameralism is the practice of having two legislative or parliamentary chambers. The relationship between the two chambers of a bicameral legislature can vary. In some cases, they have equal power, and in others, one chamber is clearly superior to the other. It is commonplace in most federal systems to have a bicameral legislature. The United States, for example, has a bicameral legislature in which one chamber, the Senate, has an equal number of members representing each constituent state, and the members of the other chamber, the House of Representatives, number according to each state's population. Some political scientists believe that having a bicameral legislature makes meaningful political reforms more difficult to achieve and increases the risk of deadlock. This risk is greater in cases when both chambers have equal powers. Other political analysts argue strongly for the merits of the checks and balances that are provided by the bicameral model, which they believe helps prevent ill-considered legislation from being passed into law. As of 2011, more than 20 countries had bicameral legislatures. Many other countries have unicameral legislatures, which consist of single legislative houses."

"text": "THE CONSTITUTIONAL BACKGROUNDThe decision by the Framers of the Constitution to create a bicameral legislature was not based solely on their notion of what would constitute a good law-making body; it was also based on practical political considerations. The Framers reasoned that a two-chamber legislature provided a significant benefit: the means of checking and controlling possible abuses of legislative power. By dividing power, the Framers believed they had created, as Madison noted, two ``different bodies of men who might watch and check each other.'' 3 But when the delegates met in Philadelphia in 1787, debate centered on how the national legislature should be apportioned -- whether on the basis of equal State representation, which would favor the small States; or on the basis of population, which would enhance the importance of the large States. The debate on this question was contentious and at times threatened to deadlock the Constitutional Convention. At length, the delegates agreed on a compromise: a two-chamber legislature, one chamber structured to provide representation by State, the other to provide representation based on population. This ``Great Compromise'' removed the delegates' most significant stumbling block to completing their task, provided the means for the small and large States to reach agreement, and made secure the establishment of a bicameral legislature. The Framers' conception of each chamber was distinct. The House of Representatives would be ``the grand repository of the democratic principle of government,'' as Madison wrote. 4 Thus, the Constitution provided that tax legislation was to be the initial prerogative of the House."

In Latin, bi means two and camera means chamber. Bicameral structure of congress in the US is divided into two: the senate and the House of Representatives. In this system, each state is allowed to have two senators and the House of Representatives will depend on the proportion of the state population and the representatives for each state. Bicameral legislature had been favored by the founding fathers of the US because it is helpful to the political system of the US. This system was already practiced way back in the history of US. This was actually influenced by the British Parliament having two houses. The US found that this system is better because there are a lot of ideas being shares if the houses are split into two."

In those three states, single-chamber legislatures were set up, but they were replaced by bicameral legislatures in 1789, 1790, and 1830, respectively.

"text": "How to Increase Resolution of an Imageby Carol Adams; Updated September 28, 2017Selecting the right image for your project makes all the difference in whether it is successful. From signs and ads to web-page layouts, the images you use are the first thing someone notices. Perhaps you have the perfect image, but it is too small or the resolution is too low. While you could simply enlarge it, doing so incorrectly results in a fuzzy picture. If you have access to a good graphics program, learn how to correctly increase the size and resolution of an image. Photoshop Load the image that you want to work with onto your computer, either by transferring it from a digital source or by scanning it in. Open Photoshop. Select “File” from the menu and choose “Open.” In the dialog that appears, locate the image you loaded and open it. Select “Image” from the menu and choose “Image Size.”"

In this paper the relatively simple forms of snakes and worms are modeled using physics. Animals have a strong emotive effect on audiences and are usually perceived as either lovable or frightening. Thus they are very popular in animations, or in films in general. But, they are difficult to train.

The algorithm is Bicubic, but the increments are user controlled in the scaling dialog. So, basically, you resize image to 105% or 110% and then do it again and again. The evidence would indicate that smaller steps produce better results than less steps or one giant leap.

This will avoid nasty \"\"jumps\"\" while the page is rendering if the height of an image (being downloaded) is known. Problem is: afaik, the following rule makes it impossible to take advantage of that technique.img { max-width: 100%; height: auto; border: 0; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; }Weird as it sounds, It will override the inline attribute value. I couldn't find any value for height (the CSS property, not the img property) to \"\"undo\"\" this. I'm not sure the rationale for this particular property in the above rule, so I wonder if someone could shed some light, and a workaround/fix for this issue.

"text": "\"DIGITAL IMAGE INTERPOLATIONImage interpolation occurs in all digital photos at some stage — whether this be in bayer demosaicing or in photo enlargement. It happens anytime you resize or remap (distort) your image from one pixel grid to another. Image resizing is necessary when you need to increase or decrease the total number of pixels, whereas remapping can occur under a wider variety of scenarios: correcting for lens distortion, changing perspective, and rotating an image. Even if the same image resize or remap is performed, the results can vary significantly depending on the interpolation algorithm. Itis only an approximation, therefore an image will always lose some quality each time interpolation is performed. This tutorial aims to provide a better understanding of how the results may vary — helping you to minimize any interpolation-induced losses in image quality. CONCEPTInterpolation works by using known data to estimate values at unknown points. For example: if you wanted to know the temperature at noon, but only measured it at 11AM and 1PM, you could estimate its value by performing a linear interpolation: If you had an additional measurement at 11:30AM, you could see that the bulk of the temperature rise occurred before noon, and could use this additional data point to perform a quadratic interpolation: The more temperature measurements you have which are close to noon, the more sophisticated (and hopefully more accurate) your interpolation algorithm can be. IMAGE RESIZE EXAMPLEImage interpolation works in two directions, and tries to achieve a best approximation of a pixel's color and intensity based on the values at surrounding pixels. The following example illustrates how resizing / enlargement works: Original Enlarge 183%→Before Interpolation After Interpolation No Interpolation Unlike air temperature fluctuations and the ideal gradient above, pixel values can change far more abruptly from one location to the next."

Regardless of your camera's resolution settings, you can load your pictures with Enhanced Picture Services and Turbo Lister without concern for file sizes or picture dimensions. With the e Bay Basic Uploader in SYI, resizing and compression are performed on e Bay's servers after your pictures are uploaded. If your picture files are larger than the 4 MB limit, you must reduce the size of your picture files with an image editing program before you upload. Otherwise, the upload will fail with an error message after the upload size limit is reached. You don't need high camera resolution for e Bay. It is useful to understand that the full resolution of modern digital cameras is unnecessary for achieving excellent quality of pictures displayed on a web page. The additional resolution of high-megapixel cameras only benefits the printing of large, high-quality prints. Therefore, for pictures to be used on e Bay and uploaded with the Basic Uploader, you can upload more efficiently by selecting an appropriate camera resolution setting before you take your pictures.

The company says it “brings together everything you need to create your best work with incredible new versions of our flagship desktop tools, services that take publishing content to the next level, and making it easier than ever for creatives to collaborate and share their work worldwide.” So our job here is to give you a quick “cheat sheet” on top new features, to help you decide about upgrading…Adobe CC (2013) updates almost all of the individual products from CS6 – including Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design/In Copy, Dreamweaver, Flash Pro, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Prelude, Speed Grade, and Story. In addition, Adobe Muse and the Edge family of tools are now also branded with the “CC” moniker. The CS6 tools not revisioned to CC are Fireworks and Encore – although the CS6 versions of both continue to be available within Creative Cloud . Acrobat XI Pro and Flash Builder 4.7 are also included but remain the same editions as before. Special: Legally download dozens of free Adobe books for a limited time!Adobe CC works on a subscription basis starting as low as $9.99 a month, which includes future upgrades automatically at no additional cost… The standard Creative Cloud membership includes complete access to all of the software and services for one price.

Resolution is the fineness of detail in a bitmap image and is measured in pixels per inch (ppi). The more pixels per inch, the greater the resolution.

This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. ( October 2016) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points. In engineering and science, one often has a number of data points, obtained by sampling or experimentation, which represent the values of a function for a limited number of values of the independent variable. It is often required to interpolate (i.e., estimate) the value of that function for an intermediate value of the independent variable. A different problem which is closely related to interpolation is the approximation of a complicated function by a simple function. Suppose the formula for some given function is known, but too complex to evaluate efficiently. A few known data points from the original function can be used to create an interpolation based on a simpler function. When a simple function is used to estimate data points from the original, interpolation errors are usually present; however, depending on the problem domain and the interpolation method used, the gain in simplicity may be of greater value than the resultant loss in precision [ citation needed]. In the examples below if we consider as a topological space and the function forms a different kind of Banach spaces then the problem is treated as \"\"interpolation of operators\"\" [ citation needed]. The classical results about interpolation of operators are the Riesz–Thorin theorem and the Marcinkiewicz theorem."

Also shown are two copies of the Lanczos kernel, shifted and scaled, corresponding to samples 4 and 11 (dashed curves). Lanczos resampling and Lanczos filtering are two applications of a mathematical formula. It can be used as a low-pass filter or used to smoothly interpolate the value of a digital signal between its samples. In the latter case it maps each sample of the given signal to a translated and scaled copy of the Lanczos kernel, which is a sinc function windowed by the central lobe of a second, longer, sinc function. The sum of these translated and scaled kernels is then evaluated at the desired points. Lanczos resampling is typically used to increase the sampling rate of a digital signal, or to shift it by a fraction of the sampling interval. It is often used also for multivariate interpolation, for example to resize or rotate a digital image. It has been considered the \"\"best compromise\"\" among several simple filters for this purpose. [ 1]The filter is named after its inventor, Cornelius Lanczos ( Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈlaːnt͡soʃ] )."

The bid price is the highest price a buyer is willing to pay for a share of stock, and the ask price is the minimum the seller is willing to accept. The ask price is usually higher than the bid price. The difference between the bid and ask prices is the bid-ask spread, which narrows or widens depending on the trading volume. Stock exchanges typically use automated systems to match the bid and ask prices and fill orders. Basics The basic order types are market and limit orders.

Fueled in large part by the vast expansion of technological capabilities - and combined with the ability of financial firms and exchanges to create new products to address each new opportunity - investors and traders have at their disposal a vast array of trading vehicles and trading tools. In the mid-1970s, the primary form of investment was simply to buy shares of an individual stock in hopes that it would outperform the broader market averages. Around this time, mutual funds started to become more widely available which allowed more individuals to invest in the stock and bond markets. In 1982, stock index futures trading began. This marked the first time that traders could actually trade a specific market index itself, rather than the shares of the companies that comprised the index. From there things have progressed rapidly. First came options on stock index futures, then options on indexes, which could be traded in stock accounts. Next came index funds, which allowed investors to buy and hold a specific stock index. The latest burst of growth began with the advent of the exchange-traded fund (ETF) and has been followed by the listing of options for trading against a wide swath of these new ETFs."

One, the bid, is what you need to know when you are selling a stock. The other, the ask (or offer) is what you need to know when you're buying. But you also need to know those other numbers too. Here's how it works: If an investor looks at a computer screen for a quote on the stock of XYZ, it might look something like this: Last: 20.01 Bid: 20 Ask: 20.25 Bid Size: 1200 Ask Size: 500The translation: the stock of XYZ is being bid at $20 a share and offered at $20.25 per share. There are 1200 shares bid for and 500 shares offered [note: some brokers may display these size numbers in hundreds, so 12 and 5 in the above example instead of 1200 and 500]. If you are looking to sell stock, now you know there is a firm willing to pay (that's the bid side of the market) $20 for your stock, and that you could sell at least 1200 shares of stock at that price. Those are the two parts of the bid side of a market on a stock: the price and the quantity of shares at that price. If you are looking to buy XYZ stock, you would have to pay $20.25 and could buy at least 500 shares of stock. Again, there are two parts to the ask side of the market: the price at which you can buy stock and the amount of stock you can buy."

Volatility measures the amount that something changes (or in more fancy jargon, it measures the magnitude of change). For example...the price of gas is volatile. This means that the price is liable to change quickly and unpredictably. Volatility would seek to measure the actual change in the price of gas. If you were to measure volatility of gasoline in the past, you would be looking at the historical volatility of gas (measured in standard deviations). If you wanted to measure how volatile gas may be in the future you would look at its implied volatility, which we will be focusing on in this post.what is implied volatility? Implied volatility is an input into option pricing models (these models are used by traders and trading platforms to calculate implied volatility given other pricing inputs like underlying price, strike price, days to expiration and interest rate). Implied Volatility is calculated by taking the price of an option (usually the mid price) and entering it into a pricing model (such as Black-Scholes, which is what dough uses), to solve for volatility.

It is the price that would be agreed on between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with neither being required to act, and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. If you put a restriction on the use of property you donate, the FMV must reflect that restriction. Example 1.

"text": "\"\"\"Liquidity\"\" redirects here. For the accounting term, see Accounting liquidity. Gold is a substance with high market liquidity, as it may be sold quickly without having to reduce the price. In business, economics or investment, market liquidity is a market's feature whereby an individual or firm can quickly purchase or sell an asset without causing a drastic change in the asset's price. Liquidity is about how big the trade-off is between the speed of the sale and the price it can be sold for. In a liquid market, the trade-off is mild: selling quickly will not reduce the price much. In a relatively illiquid market, selling it quickly will require cutting its price by some amount. [ 1] [2] Liquidity can be measured either based on trade volume relative to shares outstanding or based on the bid-ask spread or transactions costs of trading. [ 3]Money, or cash, is the most liquid asset, because it can be \"\"sold\"\" for goods and services instantly with no loss of value. There is no wait for a suitable buyer of the cash."

The difference between what someone is willing to pay and the price at which someone is willing to sell is the bidask spread, or the spread, as it is commonly called. Although ignored by some traders, the “spread” can provide clues about what might happen in the immediate future. How is it determined? A stock’s spread is carefully determined by the specialists on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the market makers on the Nasdaq electronic exchange, who publicly display the current bid and ask price. The only exception is if you trade via an Electronic Communication Network (ECN). ( An ECN is an electronic order matching system in which investors and other market participants may participate. You can place orders through the ECN during the extended hours trading sessions. The ECN in which Fidelity participates may be linked to other ECNs, which increases the potential for an order to be matched.) In this case, traders themselves determine the spread."

Introduction to IPOs When a company whose stock is not publicly traded wants to offer that stock to the general public, it usually asks an \"\"underwriter\"\" to help it do this work. The underwriter is almost always an investment banking company, and the underwriter may put together a syndicate of several investment banking companies and brokers. The underwriter agrees to pay the issuer a certain price for a minimum number of shares, and then must resell those shares to buyers, often clients of the underwriting firm or its commercial brokerage cousin. Each member of the syndicate will agree to resell a certain number of shares. The underwriters charge a fee for their services. For example, if Big Glom Corporation (BGC) wants to offer its privately- held stock to the public, it may contact Big Bank Brokers (BBB) to handlethe underwriting. BGC and BBB may agree that 1 million shares of BGC common will be offered to the public at $10 per share. BBB's fee for this service will be $0.60 per share, so that BGC receives $9,400,000. BBB may ask several other firms to join in a syndicate and to help it market these shares to the public."

It allows for profits or losses to be realized when the underlying asset moves in relation to the position taken, but the actual underlying asset is never owned. Essentially, it is a contract between the client and the broker. Trading CFDs has several major advantages, and these have increased the popularity of the instruments over the last several years. How a CFD Works If a stock has an ask price of $25.26 and 100 shares are bought at this price, the cost of the transaction is $2,526. With a traditional broker, using a 50% margin, the trade would require at least a $1,263 cash outlay from the trader. With a CFD broker, often only a 5% margin is required, so this trade can be entered for a cash outlay of only $126.30. It should be noted that when a CFD trade is entered, the position will show a loss equal to the size of the spread. So if the spread is 5 cents with the CFD broker, the stock will need to appreciate 5 cents for the position to be at a breakeven price."

Anatomy of a Stock Quote When you pull up a stock quote, the first thing you'll notice is that “quotes” include several numbers: the closing price, the last trade price, and the bid and ask. Let's look at fictional company ABC. Assume that the last trade was 84.77, but the price at the last trading session's close was $84.12. Meanwhile, the bid and ask are $84.76 and $84.79. What's the real quote then? The bid price, or bid, refers to the price at which you can sell stock; the ask price, or ask, is the price at which you can buy stock. You'll see there's a 3-cent difference between these two numbers in the example above; that's called the spread. The specialist for ABC on the New York Stock Exchange makes its money on the spread."

"text": "\"What is 'Ask'? The ask is the price a seller is willing to accept for a security, which is often referred to as the offer price. Along with the price, the ask quote might also stipulate the amount of the security available to be sold at the stated price. The bid is the price a buyer is willing to pay for a security, and the ask will always be higher than the bid. Next Up Spread Indicator Bid-Ask Spread Reduced Spread Credit Spread BREAKING DOWN 'Ask'The terms \"\"bid\"\" and \"\"ask\"\" are used in nearly every financial market in the world, including stocks, bonds, foreign exchange and derivatives. An example of an ask in the stock market is $5.24 x 1,000, which means that someone is offering to sell 1,000 shares for $5.24 per share. The ask is always higher than the bid; the difference between the two numbers is called the spread. A wider spread makes it harder to make a profit because the security is always being bought at the high end of the spread and sold at the low end. Different markets have different spread conventions, which reflect transactions costs, the value of a single point and liquidity. Spreads can widen sharply with unusually volatile trading or when there is a great deal of uncertainty over the direction of the price."

After determining the meaning of the suffix, the prefix is usually defined next, followed by the root word meaning. Suffixes may be used to to make a word either an adjective or a noun. Depending on how the root word ends, a combining vowel may be attached between the root word and the suffix. A suffix will have the same meaning when added to any root word. For instance, -plasty means surgical repair, so rhinoplasty would denote surgical repair of the nose while angioplasty means surgical repair of a blood vessel. Some suffixes may have the same or similar meanings. For example, -al, -ary, ical, and -oid all may mean \"\"pertaining to,\"\" but each may be used with particular root words in practice. Some suffixes that have the same meaning may be interchanged with other suffixes with the same meaning in certain circumstances.

"text": "\"By Lauren Moraski CBS News December 15, 2014, 4:57 PMBill Cosby's wife Camille speaks up Share Tweet Reddit Flipboard Email After weeks of media headlines and scrutiny and a subsequent career downfall, Bill Cosby's wife, Camille, is speaking up and standing by her husband of 50 years. Over the last month, more than 15 women have come forward with stories claiming that the 77-year-old comedian had drugged and sexually assaulted them. The alleged incidents date as far back as the 1960s. Bill has largely stayed silent on the matter, though he did open up to the New York Post about his wife and the ongoing allegations: \"\"Love and the strength of womanhood. Let me say it again, love and the strength of womanhood. And, you could reverse it, the strength of womanhood and love. \"\" Here's what Camille had to say in her statement on Monday:\"\"I met my husband, Bill Cosby, in 1963, and we were married in 1964. The man I met, and fell in love with, and whom I continue to love, is the man you all knew through his work. He is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man, and a wonderful husband, father and friend. He is the man you thought you knew."

"text": "Phylicia Rashad’s Strange Distance From Bill Cosbyby 2Paragraphs in Daily Edition | November 19, 2014Phylicia Rashad (photo by The Heart Truth [ CC BY-SA 2.0 ], via Wikimedia Commons)As the heat turns up on comedian Bill Cosby–with more accusations of predatory behavior surfacing–it’s fascinating to watch the woman most inextricably linked with Cosby in the public mind speak about him. Phylicia Rashad played Claire Huxtable, lawyer and wife to Cosby’s patriarch on The Cosby Show for eight years. The Cosby Show was one of the most influential TV shows in history, and the easy intimacy between the husband and wife characters was a big part of its success. Last April in an interview with The Grio, Rashad talked about Cosby–and in light of the accusations the interview (like everything associated with Cosby now) is strange to watch. [ Will Phylicia Rashad, Like Jill Scott, Turn On Cosby? ] Rashad, while enormously complimentary of her former co-star, never calls him by his first name–always referring to him reverentially (and distantly) as “Mr. Cosby.” ( So much for that easy intimacy.) Talking about the influence of The Cosby Show –and the possibility that without it there would be no Barack Obama presidency–Rashad emotionally responds: “I think that is a great compliment to Mr. Cosby, because it was his sensibilities that were at the root of The Cosby Show.” When it was announced last spring that Cosby would return to TV with a new show, Rashad’s reaction was again reverential: “I am so grateful at just the prospect–the prospect–of his return to network television. It makes me so happy."

"text": "\"primer December 30, 2015 10:47 a.m. A Timeline of the Abuse Charges Against Bill Cosby [Updated]By Matt Giles and Nate Jones Share Tweet Share Email Photo: Splash News/Corbis Thirty years ago this fall, The Cosby Show debuted on NBC, and its star was catapulted into the comedic stratosphere. The timing is prime, then, for the release of a sprawling biography. Written by former Newsweek editor Mark Whitaker, Cosby: His Life and Times documents the man’s rise from the Philadelphia projects, while also detailing the creation of his family sitcom and the murder of his son Ennis in 1997. The book is notable, however, for its complete avoidance of sexual abuse allegations that have dogged Cosby for more than a decade. In a statement to Buzzfeed's Kate Aurthur, Whitaker says, \"\"I didn’t want to print allegations that I couldn’t confirm independently.\"\" Regardless, their absence is glaring. Consider the following timeline an appendix to the book. November 2002 Andrea Constand, director of operations for Temple University’s women’s basketball team, allegedly met with Bill Cosby. Constand claims that Cosby, who had been a member of Temple’s track and field and football teams, assumed a role as her mentor. January 2004 According to Constand, she visited Cosby at his Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, home to discuss career advice, and after allegedly (according to a civil lawsuit she would later file) giving her \"\"herbal\"\" pills to ease her anxiety, Cosby “touched her breasts and vaginal area, rubbed his penis against her hand, and digitally penetrated” her."

"text": "Cosby The Curious Silence of Cosby’s TV Daughtersby Joanna Robinson August 26, 2015 1:02 pm Courtesy of The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images We may finally know what Bill Cosby‘s most rebellious TV daughter thinks of the allegations of sexual assault against him. Cosby Show actress Lisa Bonet —who is rumored to have a history of conflict with the comedian—has remained silent on the Cosby allegations, but in a recent interview with The Guardian, her real-life daughter, actress Zoë Kravitz, characterized her mom’s reaction as “disgusted and concerned.” It’s not much, but it’s more than the public has gotten from the older TV daughters of Cosby, who have remained silent over the past year. Last fall, when Hannibal Buress’s stand-up routine about Bill Cosby went viral and opened the floodgates on a history of sexual assault that reportedly stretches back into the 60s, fans of the comedian and his groundbreaking sitcom, The Cosby Show, were curious to know: What did the Huxtables think? Not that any of the actors who grew up around or worked with Cosby were at all obligated to weigh in, but that hasn’t stopped the requests for comments. In a recent post titled “OF COURSE BILL COSBY IS GUILTY!,” Joseph C. Phillips, who played Bonet’s on-screen husband for three seasons, said he couldn’t “imagine how inundated with inquiries” his fellow Cosby actors were. The actors who played the Huxtables have nevertheless remained fairly cautious, mostly claiming the accusations don’t line up with their perceptions of the comedian. In January, Cosby’s TV son, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, said, “The Bill Cosby I know has been great to me and great for a lot of people. . . . I can’t speak on the other stuff,” and his youngest TV daughter, Keisha Knight Pulliam,said, “No one was there except for the two people to know exactly what happened."

An empire has crumbled in the aftermath, but Camille Cosby remained a silent cheerleader for her husband. She sat by and fondly gazed at Bill as he tried to silence a journalist. Bill praised Camille’s “ strength of womanhood ” as he tried to make the whole scandal about race, not rape. It all rings incredibly false in the face of the whole timeline of accusations. We don’t know what Cosby has put Camille through over the decades. She could be brainwashed, or she could be aware and terrified. There’s no way to tell.

"text": "\"Today’s News Whoopi Goldberg: The Evidence Against Bill Cosby \"\"Points to Guilt\"\"By Liz Raftery | Jul 14, 2015 1:47 PM EDTWhoopi Goldberg The number of Bill Cosby defenders is dwindling. On Tuesday's episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg - who has consistently defended Cosby against the allegations of sexual assault from more than 50 women - admitted that the evidence against the comedian is fairly damning. Goldberg has famously insisted that Cosby should be perceived as \"\"innocent until proven guilty.\"\" However, upon learning that the statute of limitations on rape cases will likely prevent Cosby from ever being officially charged with a crime, Goldberg adopted a different stance. \"\" If this is to be tried in the court of public opinion, I've got to say, all of the information that's out there kind of points to guilt,\"\" Goldberg said during a conversation with ABC News' chief legal analyst Dan Abrams. \"\" These women have no legal recourse. All they have is us. ... I can't say anymore 'innocent until proven guilty' because there's no way to prove it. \"\" Why no one should be surprised by the allegations against Bill Cosby Other Cosby apologists, including Jill Scott, have also reversed their positions in the wake of an unsealed deposition last week in which Cosby admitted in 2005 to giving women Quaaludes in order to have sex with them. Cosby's wife, Camille, however, maintains that her husband's accusers \"\"consented\"\" to taking drugs and having sex."

"text": "\"Kevin Wolf/AP Images Lynette Rice November 26, 2014 03:50 PMAs Bill Cosby’s accusers continue to come forward with allegations of sexual assault, it’s difficult to ask questions about the comedian’s past without wondering how the controversy affects the woman who stood by his side for more than 50 years. Camille Cosby, 70, was recently seen sitting quietly next to her husband while a reporter for the Associated Press asked questions about the allegations. The original intent of the interview was to address how the couple lent their own art to a Smithsonian exhibit, but Camille fell silent as her husband implored the reporter to “scuttle” the line of questioning. Other than comments from Cosby’s nephew Braxton Cosby – who recently told Farrah Gray.com that his uncle was “innocent” – neither Camille nor any of Cosby’s children have reacted publicly to the barrage of allegations that were blasted by Cosby’s lawyer as \"\"unsubstantiated [and] fantastical. \"\" But one family friend tells PEOPLE that Camille, who married Cosby 51 years ago when she was only 19, remains a huge source of support “on every level. ”“She’s behind him,” the source says. “ I think that their half-century of marriage and love and accomplishment, that outweighs things like this. ”Though the recent 545-page biography, Cosby: His Life and Times, has been criticized for ignoring the sexual abuse accusations that led to a civil lawsuit in 2006, it provides a rich narrative of how he first met the woman who would become his wife. Described as resembling a young Lena Horne, Camille Hanks was the daughter of a research chemist father and a Howard University graduate mom. She grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, and attended Catholic schools."

COSBY, a study in serene elegance, sat poised in front of a darkened television set in the living room of her East Side town house. It was a rare moment of quiet reflection in an otherwise hectic day. She had taken Manhattan in little more than an hour, wrapped in a black cashmere shawl over an egg-white silk blouse and cranberry silk skirt. Her objective was to complete a few errands and be home by the time her youngest child, Evin, 18, arrived home from school. Her first stop was Studio One, a post-production studio in midtown, where she discussed changes on a documentary she is producing with Elisabeth Fink Benjamin, who is also the film's director. Their conversation continued over a quick lunch. Mrs. Cosby picked at a salad and made notes to herself to call her collaborator on a play she's producing and to go over her part in a roast of a friend before departing for Las Vegas, Nev., to see her husband perform at the Mirage hotel. Missions accomplished, she returned home and settled back in an antique velvet chair in a lavishly furnished, art-filled room that somehow seemed warm and comfortable. The conversation drifted from education to parenthood to the difference between ridicule and humor. But when the discussion veered toward television, the medium that has made her husband, Bill Cosby, one of the most famous and wealthiest men in the United States, Mrs. Cosby became fiercely passionate. \"\""

When allegations of sexual assault accumulated against the comedian last year, Camille O. Cosby came to his defense with a statement assuring the public her husband “is the man you thought you knew. ”But after the release of previously sealed court documents in which Cosby acknowledges having multiple extramarital affairs, using drugs with women and attempting to conceal his behavior to protect “Mrs. Cosby,” the question now becomes whether Camille will continue to stand by those words. A source tells PEOPLE that little has changed in the Cosby marriage since the documents were revealed, and Camille, who celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary with Cosby in January, will almost certainly stand by the embattled legend. “I met my husband, Bill Cosby, in 1963, and we were married in 1964,” the philanthropist, now 71, said in her 2014 statement. “ The man I met, and fell in love with, and whom I continue to love, is the man you all knew through his work. ”In that statement, Camille also accused the media of a rush to judgment, and likened the situation to Rolling Stone ‘s botched reporting of rape allegations at the University of Virginia. She also received criticism for implying her husband was the real victim in this case, saying, “None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked – who is the victim?”Camille asserted her husband, the father of her five children, “is a kind man, a generous man, a funny man, and wonderful husband, father and friend. ”New Revelations in Deposition Transcript This is not the image of the man portrayed in the nearly 1,000-page deposition transcript obtained by The New York Times on Saturday."

Today it’s 65-year-old Katherine Mc Kee, actress, casting director and former “road wife” of the late Sammy Davis Jr. Mc Kee told the New York Daily News that Bill Cosby, a mutual friend of Sammy and hers, raped her in the early seventies when she was on tour, in Michigan, with Davis. Mc Kee, a former Vegas show girl, said that she had known Cosby for eight years when the rape took place, making her one of more than 20 women who have accused the comedian of sexual assault. She said, “Back then, I was Sammy’s road wife. He had an open marriage, and we were lovers. That’s how it went. ”Mc Kee said Cosby raped her seemingly out of nowhere when she decided to extend her stay in Detroit so she could visit family. Cosby was in town too and invited her to attend a party on a boat. Mc Kee said she accepted the invitation because “He was a buddy. He knew I was Sammy’s girl.”"

"text": "Getty Images Director and producer Judd Apatow slammed Bill Cosby Monday following the release of court documents in which Cosby admitted to having acquired Quaaludes to give to young women he intended to have sex with. Apatow tweeted Monday, “It’s a very sad situation. Now can we all stand up and support the victims? Will silence continue?” He included a link to the Associated Press story breaking the news of the unsealed documents from a 2005 deposition. In the legal papers, which The Wrap also obtained, Cosby admitted to giving the drugs to at least one woman, as well as “other people. ”Later Monday, Apatow gave a statement to Esquire calling on Cosby’s wife, Camille Cosby, and his former co-star on “The Cosby Show,” Phylicia Rashad, to publicly support the comedian’s accusers. Also Read: Bill Cosby Admits to Obtaining Quaaludes to Give to Women“I don’t think there is anything new here,” Apatow told the magazine. “ It is only new to people who didn’t believe an enormous amount of women who stated clearly that he drugged them.

"text": "When it comes to engine parts, they don’t get much more basic than the valve covers. More accurately called rocker covers, their only function up until just recently was to shield the valve springs and rockers from dust and debris, and contain the oil that’s flinging around in there when the engine is running. Valve covers are not under any stress so historically they’ve been made out of simple stamped steel. But like anything, the more serious the engine gets, the more design changes may be needed in the valve covers. It’s hard to beat the clean, racy appearance of fabricated covers on an LS engine. These covers have the mounting bosses for the coils welded into the covers. Moroso does indeed have a welding robot, but the robot is not used to weld valve covers—it’s used on oil pans to cut each sump the same way every time. When we asked them about the robot working on valve covers, Moroso’s National Sales and Marketing Manager Thor Schroeder said, “At the present time with the technology that is out there, with the different part numbers and variation of part numbers, and the fact that Moroso makes a very conscious effort with every project to keep fellow skilled American Craftsmen employed, we don’t think the human touch can be beat. ”At a basic level, a hot rodder would only change valve covers for appearance’s sake. A set of gold-anodized Moroso stamped steel valve covers were the thing to have in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and are still perfect on a period-correct car or truck with a traditional pushrod engine."

"text": "Features Jun 1, 2009 12:00 am Engine Blocks & Cylinder Sleeves Share Tweet Print Email Doug Kaufman, Editor View bio In our February 2009 issue, Technical Editor Larry Carley provided a comprehensive overview of the changes in engine blocks over the years. Thanks in part to natural attrition (after all, many of the most popular engines were actually designed and built more than 50 years ago) and the high price for scrap metal in the past few years, good cores for popular domestic engines have been getting harder to find. Aftermarket engine blocks in cast iron or cast or billet aluminum are making it easier for engine builders to serve their customers. With the introduction of many affordable cast iron and aluminum castings for popular applications, engine builders now have more options than ever before. If you can’t find a good stock core to work with, you can start from scratch with a brand new aftermarket block. If you want to minimize weight, aftermarket blocks offer considerable weight savings if you opt for aluminum over cast iron. Aluminum may cost more, but it can reduce the weight of the block to less than 150 lbs., depending on the engine. Most aluminum blocks use dry pressed in steel sleeves and billet steel main caps. Various deck heights and bore sizes are available to meet most needs."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Extruded)navigation search For the process that creates volcanic rock, see Extrusive (geology). Extruded aluminium with several hollow cavities; T slots allow bars to be joined with special connectors. Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed through a die of the desired cross-section. The two main advantages of this process over other manufacturing processes are its ability to create very complex cross-sections, and to work materials that are brittle, because the material only encounters compressive and shear stresses. It also forms parts with an excellent surface finish. [ 1]Drawing is a similar process, which uses the tensile strength of the material to pull it through the die. This limits the amount of change which can be performed in one step, so it is limited to simpler shapes, and multiple stages are usually needed. Drawing is the main way to produce wire. Metal bars and tubes are also often drawn."

"text": "\"Military Jobs Marine Jobs Alternate Career Opportunities (B-Billets) for Marines Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Rod Powers Updated February 22, 2018Marines looking for career opportunities outside their regular military occupational specialty (MOS) can seek what's known as a B-billet. This is a chance for them to progress in their careers while getting valuable on-the-job experience. A billet is not a standard Marine Corps job, and as such doesn't typically have an MOS associated with it. But many are classified under billet designators which serve as a placeholder for billets that fall outside the traditional job duties. While a B-billet is a good way for a Marine to get some additional training, this doesn't mean that a Marine can dabble in a \"\"side job\"\" that is totally unrelated to his or her current role. For instance, an enlisted Marine in a legal administration MOS isn't likely to be able to get a B-billet in an infantry role. It's not a way for a Marine to get out of his or her current job, either, as they'll still have obligations to the Corps that must be fulfilled. Origins of the Billet A billet was originally a term for a soldier's sleeping quarters and used to mean a private home which was required to let the soldier sleep there. When they aren't on combat duty, most military personnel are billeted in barracks or garrisons, unless they have a family home near their post. The term has evolved to mean a particular job assignment, usually within the U. S. Navy, U. S. Marine Corps or U. S. Coast Guard, which may be filled by a single person."

You wrote “what does the French phrase “entre vous” mean in English. First of all, “ entre vous ” would not be used by itself, so it lacks context to fully answer your question. The litteral translation would be “between you”, which sounds weird. We could assume that you meant “ Qui est le plus agile d’entre vous ? ” (“ Who’s the most agile between all of you ?”) Or, you could have meant “ entre nous ” like in “ Entre nous, j’ai acheté la paire de billets la plus dispendieuse ”. It then would be said as a confidence. (“ Between you and me, (or between us), I’ve bought the most expensive pair of tickets. ”)The difference is that vous is used as a formal way to address one being, instead of tu, being more familiar."

Over the last few years we have been working towards a system to improve our enlisted manning efficiency, command management of their personnel, and provide an accurate demand signal to Navy Personnel Command. Currently we fill jobs based on requisitions that do not fully reflect billet-level needs or accurately identify a Sailor’s current assigned position. This means we can’t accurately measure or ensure enlisted personnel readiness, leaving gaps in the “Fit” of skills-to-position requirements. The new capability is called Billet Based Distribution (BBD), and it will allow resource managers, distribution and leadership to effectively manage “Fit” by aligning personnel to positions and make better-informed personnel distribution decisions.

Images and text by Steve Stillwell When I made plans to build my 1956 Ford F-100 I immediately knew that I wanted to have it roll on a combination of 18-inch front wheels and 20-inch billet wheels for the rear. I wasn’t targeting the pro-street look, but wanted a minimum of a 20 x 10 inch rim for the rear, which a couple of buddies told me was impossible to do on an F-100. I was now inspired even more to prove it could be done, without having rubber sticking outside the rear fender lips. After all, you cannot have any suspension travel if the tires are about to hit the fenders, and I was also going to slam this truck’s ride height to the ground!As you can see from the photos, I opted to pre-assemble this truck using a cut-up cab that the guys had in the R&D shop at Total Cost Involved, the manufacturer of the custom chassis. My son Cory and I assembled the bed and placed the proto type cab in place. We hung the bedsides onto the beds cross braces as well as brand new steel fenders. The tires, rear end width and bed sides were fighting for the same space as it just didn’t fit. At least not the way I wanted it to. The resolve."

"text": "\"Introduction The material presented in this publication was prepared by the Billet Analysis Section, Training Activity, Bureau of Naval Personnel, in response to the request of Commander Destroyers, Pacific Fleet, for information on destroyer enlisted billets for use of their enlisted classification activity. It is felt that the material will also provide valuable information for training activities and will be helpful to destroyer officers in making shipboard assignments and delegating responsibilities. The basic information for these billet descriptions was gathered by Billet Analysts who, under operating conditions, observed men at work and interviewed them and their officers aboard four 1630 ton, twelve 2100 ton, and ten 2200 ton destroyers. The analyses were compiled into composite descriptions to eliminate individual ship differences. Each description as developed from the analyses was verified by officers of Commander Destroyers, Pacific Fleet, Pacific Fleet Schools, and destroyers in the Pacific area whose active interest and wholehearted cooperation were invaluable in the preparation of these descriptions. The material is divided into three sections: (1) General Quarters Duties, which include most of the condition watch stations, (2) Routine Duties, which include all daily tasks and maintenance and repair duties except cleaning stations which were not significant, and (3) Typical Battle, Watch, and Routine Bills for 1630, 2100, and 2200 ton destroyers, showing a possible distribution of personnel. Since the duties of pharmacist's maters are well standardized by the requirements of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, no study of this rating was made. The heading of each description includes the title most commonly used in identifying the battle station or routine duty, the rating usually assigned to the duty, its place in the ship's organization, and a brief billet summary. Routine Duties and General Quarters descriptions are cross-referenced with each other to indicate usual combinations of duties. The descriptions cover the important tasks of individuals assigned to the billets, followed by the significant responsibilities, including supervision given and received, using the words \"\"close,\"\" \"\"moderate,\"\" and \"\"general\"\" to designate degree of supervision."

Rolling schematic view Rolling visualization. ( Click on image to view animation. ) In metalworking, rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce the thickness and to make the thickness uniform. The concept is similar to the rolling of dough. Rolling is classified according to the temperature of the metal rolled. If the temperature of the metal is above its recrystallization temperature, then the process is known as hot rolling. If the temperature of the metal is below its recrystallization temperature, the process is known as cold rolling. In terms of usage, hot rolling processes more tonnage than any other manufacturing process, and cold rolling processes the most tonnage out of all cold working processes. ["

Of these being engines without water/cooling jackets of course. Which of these would be the strongest/most capable materials to use for a non water cooled high performance engine?

[ 1] [2] [3]The term 'building model' (in the sense of BIM as used today) was first used in papers in the mid-1980s: in a 1985 paper by Simon Ruffle eventually published in 1986, [4] and later in a 1986 paper by Robert Aish [5] - then at GMW Computers Ltd, developer of RUCAPS software - referring to the software's use at London's Heathrow Airport. [ 6] The term 'Building Information Model' first appeared in a 1992 paper by G. A. van Nederveen and F. P. Tolman. [ 7]However, the terms 'Building Information Model' and 'Building Information Modeling' (including the acronym \"\"BIM\"\") did not become popularly used until some 10 years later. In 2002, Autodesk released a white paper entitled \"\"Building Information Modeling,\"\" [8] and other software vendors also started to assert their involvement in the field. ["

"text": "\"Introduction In genetic association analysis, allele coding discordance is one commonly encountered problem that many researchers struggle with, especially when two different groups compare results or perform meta-analysis between cohorts. This issue arise between different people and different computer algorithms tend to use different allele coding schemes: some use ACGT alleles based on forward strand of the human genome assembly, some use Illumina's TOP alleles, and some use Illumina's AB alleles. This software is written to convert the allele coding shemes so that results from different groups are comparable to each other. The input file for this program is a BIM file that was generated by the PLINK program, since the file has a simple format and can be easily manipulated. If the user has a PED file instead, it's easy to convert it to BIM file using PLINK, then convert back to PED file. Below I briefly describe several commonly used allele coding schemes. To make things easier to understand, let's first look at a screen shot from db SNP. Simply search \"\"rs1004491\"\" in db SNP, and click the search result, and this screen will show up. It tells that the SNP rs1004491 is compiled based on about a dozen individual submissions (with ss identifier) from various sites. The SNP is mapped to NCBI build 36, with ref SNP allele as C/T in db SNP, which is in forward strand."

But we have forgotten single most factor that affects green modeling i.e., LEED. This article will let you look closely at LEED and offer advantages and disadvantages associated with it. LEED also has gained prominence but there are certain points that need to be analyzed before looking forward to LEED. LEED has made green modeling the future of building and we have already seen the impact of it. Already architects are realizing the big benefits that can be derived from LEED and they are going to make it more popular as days go on. But it is also dangerous as there are lots of loopholes in LEED too that needs to be discussed into detail before going forward with it in full-fledge. LEED was created to make environmental friendly buildings but at what cost? Let us first of all look at some of the advantages of LEED: USGBC Delivered High-Priority Standards that Gave Green Modeling Acknowledgement: Calling a building green without setting prior standards would be a big mistake.

"text": "What does open BIM, IFC’s and COBie actually mean for BIM?21/04/2013 By Danny Mc Gough 6 Comments This weeks article looks at giving a brief explanation of Open BIM, COBie and IFC’s whilst also asking a few questions on what all this means for the future of software vendors. What does open BIM, IFC’s and COBie actually mean for BIM?. With Autodesk holding a 63% ( NBS National BIM Survey) share of the CAD drawing market what affect will this have on open BIM for the future? What does open BIM actually mean and what are these COBie files that we keep hearing about? With these points in mind this week’s article will focus on open and closed BIM and the interoperability of BIM software as well as asking one or two questions about what all this means for the future of an open BIM collaborative working environment. Closed BIM generally refers to when BIM processes are carried out on a single platform whereas open BIM refers to when the BIM environment crosses multiple platforms regardless of the software vendor, in essence an ‘open’ shareable design environment using open standard data. To achieve an open BIM project environment information needs to be shared/exported to a non-proprietary format, such as IFC’s. Currently there are strong opinions and voices behind the drive towards open BIM with the Government specifying in the BIS-BIM-strategy-Reports that Maturity Level 4 BIM should achieve “Fully open process and data integration enabled by IFC/IFD.” Many individual BIM experts are also pushing for the drive towards an open standard BIM future. Sourced from – BIS-BIM-strategy-Report (2011)To briefly explain what IFC data formats are, they are in essence an ‘open’ and neutral data format which set a data standard which if utilised can assist in the ‘interoperability’ between software packages."

Designed as a compact and cost-effective alternative to taking the stairs, the PVE30 vacuum elevator has a 350lb (159kg) lift capacity and is capable of up to 50 ft. ( 15m) of rise over as many as five stops. With a 30 inch outside diameter (total footprint), there are very few homes that do not have the space to accommodate the PVE30 single passenger residential elevator. The smallest of the three vacuum elevator models, the PVE30 only requires a 32 inch finished through floor hole for the elevator cylinders to pass through, and is ideal for town-homes and tight areas where a traditional residential elevator wouldn't even be a thought or consideration.

Tweet15 April 2010Direct X 11 has created a lot of buzz throughout the 3D gaming community, but what could the application programming interface (API) mean for the designer or CAD professional? AMD’s Rob Jamieson explains All 3D programs rely on an application programming interface (API). When combined with a 3D graphics card this is what makes real time 3D graphics possible. Most professional 3D applications use Open GL, whereas most games use Microsoft’s Direct X. However, with Direct X 11 and supporting hardware and software now out in the market, details of what the API offers 3D CAD users are becoming more clear. Direct X currently provides the 3D graphics engine for a few CAD applications including Autodesk Inventor and Micro Station. It is also the secondary graphics engine in Solid Edge. Currently Autodesk Inventor is mainly DX9 with some bits of DX10 used to release the 3D engine to do other tasks. It’s likely that Autodesk would introduce some of the new features of DX11 inside a future release of its 3D CAD software but what does DX11 offer?"

In fact i am becoming more and more uninterested in what can be done in ARCHICAD. There are already plenty of users focussed on asking Graphisoft for ARCHICAD feature improvements that are primarily designed to benefit the model author. My focus is all on the data and how we can use it and export it. For me, my simple mantra is if you can’t export it from an authoring package, and generate a benefit to others, it doesn’t exist. This perhaps may seem a little extreme but with this thought pattern it allows me to focus on the bigger picture of BIM. I would therefore like to think that the blog pieces i write are as useful to users of other authoring platforms as they are to an ARCHICAD user. If nothing else you may begin to understand a little more about ARCHICAD. And there is no harm in looking at how another authoring tool functions. So after that brief introduction, now on to this blog piece…Creating intelligence A lot has been said in BIM circles about the idea that some software currently is not really able to be used in BIM workflows, particularly though when it comes to the ‘I’ in BIM."

"text": "Home > Health Library Pulse Oximetry<< Back to Pulmonary Tests and Procedures What is pulse oximetry? Pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the oxygen level (oxygen saturation) of the blood. It is an easy, painless measure of how well oxygen is being sent to parts of your body furthest from your heart, such as the arms and legs. A clip-like device called a probe is placed on a body part, such as a finger or ear lobe. The probe uses light to measure how much oxygen is in the blood. This information helps the healthcare provider decide if a person needs extra oxygen. Why might I need pulse oximetry? Pulse oximetry may be used to see if there is enough oxygen in the blood. This information is needed in many kinds of situations. It may be used: During or after surgery or procedures that use sedation To see how well lung medicines are working To check a person’s ability to handle increased activity levels To see if a ventilator is needed to help with breathing, or to see how well it’s working To check a person has moments when breathing stops during sleep (sleep apnea)Pulse oximetry is also used to check the health of a person with any condition that affects blood oxygen levels, such as: Heart attack Heart failure Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)Anemia Lung cancer Asthma Pneumonia Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to advise pulse oximetry."

Therefore, the range is from 0-100, with 99% being a typical maximum. A healthy reading on a pulse oximeter is one that is an oxygen saturation above 90% when breathing room air, during most kinds of mild activities, such as walking.

Newborn screening helps health professionals to identify and treat these conditions before they make a baby sick. What are the screening procedures? There are three parts to newborn screening: the blood test (or heel stick ); the hearing screen; and pulse oximetry . Blood Test: First, a physician, nurse, midwife, or other trained member of the hospital staff will fill out a newborn screening card. One part of this card is the filter paper to collect the baby’s blood sample. The other part is for important information for the lab performing the screen, such as the baby’s name, sex, weight, date/time of birth, date/time of heel stick collection, and date/time of first feeding.

Emergency medical responders can range from bystanders with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) certification to trained professional rescuers such as First Responders, EMT-Basics/Intermediates, Paramedics, Nurses, or Doctors. Usually the most important tool used by these people is their brain. In Alberta, Canada, an EMR is a trained EMS professional, as per the National Occupational Competency Profile (NOCP), equivalent to the EMT-B in the U. S. A. This is also true in British Columbia, Canada. The hierarchy of paramedics in the BC Ambulance Service is highest at the Critical Care Paramedic (CCP), followed by Advanced Life Support (ALS), the Infant Transport Team (ITT), Primary Care Paramedic (PCP), and finally Emergency Medical Responder (EMR). Preface [ edit]In general, Emergency Medical Responders are people such as police officer, firefighter or EMT that are trained to provide immediate pre hospital medical treatment to either a medical or trauma victim of accidents or disasters. EMR are not supposed to replace an EMT or Paramedic, EMR’s are only to provide enough care until the ambulance arrives. However, inn Canada, as per the NOCP of the Paramedic Association of Canada, an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) is the first of four levels of paramedic training. The four levels are Emergency Medical Responder, Primary Care Paramedic, Advanced Care Paramedic, and Critical Care Paramedic (lowest level of training to highest level of training)."

"text": "What does oxygen saturation mean? Oxygen saturation refers to the amount of oxygen your child's red blood cells are carrying. If your child is in good health, the majority (95% to 100%) of her red blood cells that have passed through the lungs should be full of, or saturated, with oxygen. If she has a heart condition that prevents the red blood cells (specifically hemoglobin) from picking up oxygen, her saturation level will be lower. This reduced amount of oxygen in the blood is called hypoxemia or cyanosis. People breathing regular air have a saturation of 96% to 98%; anything less than 95% results in hypoxemia, which is cause for concern. What is oxygen saturation monitoring? Oxygen saturation monitoring measures the amount of oxygen in your child's blood. It helps the nurses and doctors know if your child’s body is getting the oxygen it needs. It also tells them if your child's body is correctly using the oxygen your child is breathing."

I am Dr. Matt Oster, a pediatric cardiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Sibley Heart Center at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. As part of the CDC Expert Video Commentary Series on Medscape, I'm here to speak with you about what you, as a primary care provider, need to know about newborn screening for critical congenital heart defects. Critical congenital heart defects (CCHDs; also referred to as \"\"critical congenital heart disease\"\") are the most recent addition to the United States Recommended Uniform Screening Panel for newborns. As more hospitals start screening newborns for CCHDs, you will need to understand what this screening means for your patients. CCHDs are structural heart defects that often are associated with hypoxemia in infants during the newborn period. Infants with CCHDs require surgery or catheter intervention within the first year of life, often soon after birth. Without treatment, these babies are at risk for significant morbidity or mortality early in life as a result of closure of the ductus arteriosus or other physiologic changes. Screening for CCHDs is conducted with a pulse oximeter to measure the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood that is saturated with oxygen, with probes placed on the infant's right hand and either foot. An algorithm, either the algorithm recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics or a similar one approved by the state or hospital, is then used to determine whether the infant passes, fails, or needs repeat pulse oximetry screening."

The device then shines two rays through the finger. One ray is visible and one is not. Through these rays the Oximeter then calculates what color the arterial blood is and then works out the oxygen saturation. The oximeter basically looks for the slight change in the overall color caused by a beat of the heart pushing arterial blood into the finger to work out the color of the arterial blood a pulse. But while using an Oximeter it is important to know how to interpret the readings it generates. The pulse oximetry normal values are dependent on the patient`s health condition, respiratory rate, percentage of oxygen in the air, activities of the patients and other factors.

Blood circulation: Red = oxygenated (arteries), Blue = deoxygenated (veins)Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen -saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin (unsaturated + saturated) in the blood. The human body requires and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood. Normal blood oxygen levels in humans are considered 95–100 percent. If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low resulting in hypoxemia. [ 1] Blood oxygen levels below 80 percent may compromise organ function, such as the brain and heart, and should be promptly addressed. Continued low oxygen levels may lead to respiratory or cardiac arrest. Oxygen therapy may be used to assist in raising blood oxygen levels. Oxygenation occurs when oxygen molecules ( O 2) enter the tissues of the body. For example, blood is oxygenated in the lungs, where oxygen molecules travel from the air and into the blood."

"text": "Abstract Key Points In clinical practice, the level of arterial oxygenation can be measured either directly by blood gas sampling to measure partial pressure ( P a O 2) and percentage saturation ( S a O 2) or indirectly by pulse oximetry ( S p O 2). This review addresses the strengths and weaknesses of each of these tests and gives advice on their clinical use. The haemoglobin–oxygen dissociation curve describing the relationship between oxygen partial pressure and saturation can be modelled mathematically and routinely obtained clinical data support the accuracy of a historical equation used to describe this relationship. Educational Aims To understand how oxygen is delivered to the tissues. To understand the relationships between oxygen saturation, partial pressure, content and tissue delivery. The clinical relevance of the haemoglobin–oxygen dissociation curve will be reviewed and we will show how a mathematical model of the curve, derived in the 1960s from limited laboratory data, accurately describes the relationship between oxygen saturation and partial pressure in a large number of routinely obtained clinical samples. To understand the role of pulse oximetry in clinical practice. To understand the differences between arterial, capillary and venous blood gas samples and the role of their measurement in clinical practice. The delivery of oxygen by arterial blood to the tissues of the body has a number of critical determinants including blood oxygen concentration (content), saturation ( S O 2) and partial pressure, haemoglobin concentration and cardiac output, including its distribution. The haemoglobin–oxygen dissociation curve, a graphical representation of the relationship between oxygen saturation and oxygen partial pressure helps us to understand some of the principles underpinning this process."

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": "The assessment of respiratory function and metabolic state with blood gas analysis, combined with continuous monitoring from pulse oximetry and capnography is routinely performed in patients during anaesthesia, in resuscitation and in the critically ill. Blood gas measurement Blood gas analysers report a wide range of results, but the only parameters directly measured are the partial pressures of oxygen (p O2) and carbon dioxide (p CO2) and blood p H. The haemoglobin saturation (Hb O2%) is calculated from the p O2 using the oxygen-dissociation curve and assumes a normal P50 and that there are no abnormal forms of haemoglobin. Some blood gas analysers incorporate a co-oximeter that directly measures the various forms of haemoglobin including oxyhaemoglobin, total haemoglobin, carboxyhaemoglobin and methaemoglobin. The actual bicarbonate, standard bicarbonate, and base excess are calculated from the p H and p CO2 using the Siggard-Anderson nomogram derived from a series of in vitro experiments relating p H, p CO2 and bicarbonate. Practical precautions: a heparinized, freshly drawn, bubblefree, arterial blood sample is required. Heparin is acidic and if too much is present, the measured p CO2 and calculated bicarbonate are spuriously reduced. Delay in measurement allows continued metabolism by the erythrocytes and reduces p H and p O2 and increases p CO2. Keeping the specimen on ice allows accurate measurement to be delayed for up to 1 hour. Air bubbles introduce error and cause a fall in p CO2 and an increase in p O2. The polarographic ( Clark) oxygen electrode measures the oxygen partial pressure in a blood or gas sample."

"text": "To understand what a drop in oxygen saturations mean, it is important to develop a look, listen and feel approach to assessing your patient. There are many reasons as to why oxygen saturation from a pulse oximeter may be low. To begin to understand oxygen saturations, we will begin with what oxygen saturation means, what haemoglobin is, and how oxygen is transported to the cells and carbon dioxide away. During this process, we will introduce you to the oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve. An article that discusses respiratory physiology and also respiratory assessment is: Moore, T. 2007 Respiratory assessment in adults. Nursing Standard, 21, 49, 48-56. You may also want to revise your knowledge of normal respiratory function by using any good anatomy and physiology text. What does oxygen saturation mean? Red blood cells contain a substance known as haemoglobin. Haemoglobin occurs inside red blood cells (erythrocyte) and consist of a globin molecule with four haem molecules attached to iron molecules, linked together by 4 protein chains – 2 α and 2 β."

"text": "ARTICLEAUTHORSREFERENCESRESPONSESpicture_as_pdf Download Topics Health services administration Anesthesia, analgesia and pain Summary The level of documentation of vital signs in many hospitals is extremely poor, and respiratory rate, in particular, is often not recorded. There is substantial evidence that an abnormal respiratory rate is a predictor of potentially serious clinical events. Nurses and doctors need to be more aware of the importance of an abnormal respiratory rate as a marker of serious illness. Hospital systems that encourage appropriate responses to an elevated respiratory rate and other abnormal vital signs can be rapidly implemented. Such systems help to raise and sustain awareness of the importance of vital signs. Recording a full set of vital signs (pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature) at least daily is considered standard for monitoring patients on acute hospital wards. However, two recent multicentre studies found that the level of documentation of vital signs in many hospitals is poor. 1, 2 Of the four vital signs, respiratory rate, in particular, is often not recorded, even when the patient’s primary problem is a respiratory condition. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 This is in spite of the fact that an abnormal respiratory rate has been shown to be an important predictor of serious events such as cardiac arrest and admission to an intensive care unit (ICU). 3, 7, 8, 9, 1010."

D.pulse oximetry -> principles last modified: September 10, 2002Principles of Pulse Oximetry Technology: The principle of pulse oximetry is based on the red and infrared light absorption characteristics of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. Oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs more infrared light and allows more red light to pass through. Deoxygenated (or reduced) hemoglobin absorbs more red light and allows more infrared light to pass through. Red light is in the 600-750 nm wavelength light band. Infrared light is in the 850-1000 nm wavelength light band. Pulse oximetry uses a light emitter with red and infrared LEDs that shines through a reasonably translucent site with good blood flow. Typical adult/pediatric sites are the finger, toe, pinna (top) or lobe of the ear. Infant sites are the foot or palm of the hand and the big toe or thumb."

"text": "Laboratory Studies The clinical diagnosis of acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning should be confirmed by demonstrating an elevated level of carboxyhemoglobin (Hb CO). Either arterial or venous blood can be used for testing. [ 3]Analysis of Hb CO requires direct spectrophotometric measurement in specific blood gas analyzers. Bedside pulse carbon monoxide (CO)-oximetry is now available but requires a special unit and is not a component of routine pulse oximetry. A 2012 study showed that noninvasive pulse CO-oximetry correlates with more rapid diagnosis and initiation of hyperbaric oxygen therapy than laboratory CO-oximetry. However, the impact on clinical outcome is still not proven. [ 21] A 2017 clinical policy statement from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) recommends against using pulse CO-oximetry to diagnose CO toxicity in patients with suspected acute CO poisoning (level B recommendation). [ 22]Elevated CO levels of at least 3–4% in nonsmokers and at least 10% in smokers are significant. [ 3] However, low levels do not rule out exposure, especially if the patient already has received 100% oxygen or if significant time has elapsed since exposure. Hb CO levels in cigarette smokers typically range from 3-5%, but may be as high as 10% in some heavy smokers. ["

Good patient outcomes rely on your ability to assess ventilation, oxygenation, work of breathing (WOB), lung function, airway resistance and air flow. The number of treatment choices is increasing, and they’re becoming more complex. Does your patient need medication, suctioning, airway management, ventilation, intubation, non-invasive ventilation or just close observation? Some practices of the past served only to disguise deterioration. With everything available to today’s EMS provider, you need some pearls of wisdom for effectively assessing and successfully treating patients having difficulty breathing. Shortness of breath, or dyspnea, is a subjective complaint. ( 1) As with any subjective complaint, an EMS provider risks undervaluing the significance of the problem if they allow personal bias to interfere with a good search for objective signs of respiratory distress. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that EMS providers under-treat pain, largely because of under-assessment. ( 2) Patients rarely die of pain, but they often die from acute respiratory distress."

"text": "Home > Health Library Pulse Oximetry<< Back to Pulmonary Tests and Procedures What is pulse oximetry? Pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the oxygen level (oxygen saturation) of the blood. It is an easy, painless measure of how well oxygen is being sent to parts of your body furthest from your heart, such as the arms and legs. A clip-like device called a probe is placed on a body part, such as a finger or ear lobe. The probe uses light to measure how much oxygen is in the blood. This information helps the healthcare provider decide if a person needs extra oxygen. Why might I need pulse oximetry? Pulse oximetry may be used to see if there is enough oxygen in the blood. This information is needed in many kinds of situations. It may be used: During or after surgery or procedures that use sedation To see how well lung medicines are working To check a person’s ability to handle increased activity levels To see if a ventilator is needed to help with breathing, or to see how well it’s working To check a person has moments when breathing stops during sleep (sleep apnea)Pulse oximetry is also used to check the health of a person with any condition that affects blood oxygen levels, such as: Heart attack Heart failure Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)Anemia Lung cancer Asthma Pneumonia Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to advise pulse oximetry."

Biofeedback is a method that uses the mind to control a body function that the body normally regulates automatically, such as skin temperature, muscle tension, heart rate, or blood pressure. When you are first learning biofeedback, you will have sensors attached to your body and to a monitoring device. This provides instant feedback on a body function (for example, your skin temperature). The biofeedback therapist will then teach you physical and mental exercises that can help you control the function. The results are displayed on the monitor while you learn how to control that function. The monitor beeps or flashes when you achieve the desired change in that body function (such as increasing skin temperature or reducing muscle tension). Two types of biofeedback are: Electromyography (EMG). This type of biofeedback uses a device that measures muscle tension while you practice a relaxation technique, such as meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, or visualization.

This means that not only does the brain control the body, but the body controls the brain. The brain constantly monitors the body for changes. Biofeedback is also grounded in the behavioral sciences. Biofeedback is based on a principle known as “operant conditioning,” specifically positive reinforcement.

Other body functions -- like heart rate, skin temperature, and blood pressure -- are controlled involuntarily by your nervous system. You don't think about making your heart beat faster. It just happens in response to your environment, like when you're nervous, excited, or exercising. One technique can help you gain more control over these normally involuntary functions. It's called biofeedback, and the therapy is used to help prevent or treat conditions, including migraine headaches, chronic pain, incontinence, and high blood pressure.

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

There are many new migraine headache treatments available that can be both safe and effective. Natural treatments for migraine headaches are usually safer and cheaper than traditional pain medications. And in many instances they can relieve pain just as well or even better than prescription or non-prescription drugs. The possibility of a negative reaction to a safe and natural migraine headache treatment is still there, but it is less with most natural treatment methods than it is with pain-relieving medications. Every person on the face of the earth is unique. Their body chemistry is different than anyone else's.

Some of the symptoms include: Lower abdominal discomfort A sense of incomplete evacuation (the feeling that you still have to \"\"go\"\") after a bowel movement Straining to have a bowel movement Hard or small stools Rectal bleeding and/or anal fissures caused by hard stools Physiological distress and/or obsession with having bowel movements. Constipation usually is caused by the slow movement of material through the colon (large bowel). The two disorders limited to the colon that cause constipation are colonic inertia and pelvic floor dysfunction. There are many causes of and associations with constipation, for example, medications; poor bowel habits; low fiber diets; possibly abuse of laxatives; hormonal disorders; diseases primarily of other parts of the body that also affect the colon; and high levels of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy. Individuals should seek medical care if constipation is of sudden onset, severe, worsening, associated with other worrisome symptoms such as loss of weight, or is not responding to simple, safe and effective treatments. Tests to diagnose the cause of constipation may include a medical history, physical examination, blood tests, abdominal X-rays, barium enema, colonic transit studies, defecography, anorectal motility studies, and colonic motility studies. The goal of therapy for constipation is one bowel movement every two to three days without straining. Treatment may include foods high in fiber, non-stimulant laxatives, stimulant laxatives, enemas, suppositories, biofeedback training, prescription medications, and surgery. Stimulant laxatives, including herbal products, should be used as a last resort because they might damage the colon and worsen constipation."

Your doctor may also want to make sure that you're emptying your bladder completely when you urinate. Your doctor will look for clues that might also indicate contributing factors. The work-up will likely include a: Medical history Physical exam, focusing on your abdomen and genitals Urine sample to test for infection, traces of blood or other abnormalities Focused neurological exam that may identify sensory problems or abnormal reflexes Special tests Your doctor may order a simple urodynamic test to assess the function of your bladder and its ability to empty steadily and completely. These tests usually require a referral to a specialist, and may not be necessary to make a diagnosis or begin treatment. Tests include: Measuring urine left in the bladder. This test is important if your bladder doesn't empty completely when you urinate or experience urinary incontinence. Remaining urine (postvoid residual urine) may cause symptoms identical to an overactive bladder. To measure residual urine after you have voided, your doctor may request an ultrasound scan of your bladder or pass a thin tube (catheter) through the urethra and into your bladder to drain and measure the remaining urine.

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to experience the benefits of Biofeedback firsthand; I knew that it was something I wanted to explore more deeply. I initially became a Certified Biofeedback Technician through NHTB and continued on to receive my Biofeedback Specialist Certification, along with my certification for Stress Management Specialist and Spiritual Health Coach License. Optimal health requires looking at the body as a system. To properly support this system, nutrition and exercise are crucial components, but so is something else-the body electric. Everything we do is controlled and enabled by electric signals running through our body. Essentially this is the body’s language; this is how it communicates. Imagine a work environment where each individual has a specific task to perform with communication being foundational to an efficient and optimal outcome, but somewhere along the line a breakdown in communication occurs."

"text": "S USED throughout this website, psychotherapy can be defined as follows: An interaction between a professional and a client that leads to changes—from a less adaptive state to a more adaptive state—in the client’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. On this website, the “professional” in the above definition will be assumed to be a psychologist, although other mental health practitioners may be licensed to conduct psychotherapy. Psychotherapy, as defined here, has ethics which can be distinguished from the ethics of counseling that focus on helping a person solve “normal” problems. Although medications may be used in conjunction with psychotherapy, for present purposes medication will not be considered the essence of psychotherapy, because psychotherapy really depends on the use of the client’s own mental experiences to bring about the desired changes. Clearly, in the above definition, “adaptive” is a very subjective concept. My attitude toward the matter is this:1. As long as you generally adhere to the law of the culture in which you live, and if you are satisfied with your life, then there is no psychological problem and no need for psychotherapy. At this point, the science of psychology reaches a limit and must stop.2. There are many things, however, that are legal and socially acceptable and that nevertheless pose a grave danger not only to one’s mental health but also to one’s spiritual life. Thus there is a further spiritual dimension to adaptive life, but I won’t make this an issue in general psychotherapy unless a client has a specific desire to discuss it."

"text": "\"Biofeedback\"\"We have not been informed that our bodies tend to do what they are told if we know how to tell them.\"\" -Elmer Green What is Biofeedback? Biofeedback is a form of treatment in which individuals are trained to use signals from their body as a way to improve their own health. It involves engaging a client in various diaphragmatic breathing techniques, through the use of sensors and computer programs, as a means to help clients control their response to stress. By engaging in this form of treatment, individuals are able to gain awareness into how their minds and bodies work together in response to stress and anxiety. This feedback is then used to train clients how to improve their overall self-regulation. Additionally, biofeedback aids in the following: Through training, a sense of balance is reinforced (i.e. it helps the body to correct itself). Biofeedback helps to motivate individuals to take on a more active role in their personal health care. Used as a mind-body technique, biofeedback adds to the power and efficacy of other, more traditional forms of treatment. Biofeedback is technology-assisted mindfulness."

When you feel the urge to have a bowel movement, you may not be able to hold it until you can get to a toilet. Or stool may leak from the rectum unexpectedly. More than 5.5 million Americans have fecal incontinence. It affects people of all ages—children as well as adults. Fecal incontinence is more common in women than in men and more common in older adults than in younger ones. Loss of bowel control can be devastating. People who have fecal incontinence may feel ashamed, embarrassed, or humiliated. Some don't want to leave the house out of fear they might have an accident in public."

The diversity of the species living within different coral reefs depends on the reefs' latitude and the direction of the water. Coral reef biomes must exist in shallow water because they must remain between 70 to 85° F. Shallow water is easier to keep warm by the Sun than deeper water. The three types of coral reefs are fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and coral atolls. Although many types of animals live within the coral beef biome, it has much more diversity in its plant life.

For those of us who live in temperate regions, seasonal changes happen every few months. You could be darting across a lake on water skis in July, and, 6 months later, you could be racing across that same lake on ice skates!There is no season such delight can bring, as summer, autumn, winter, and the spring. William Browne – “Variety”When you grow up experiencing four seasons every year, you begin to notice and appreciate the seasonal ebb and flow of life around you. Winter is peaceful and quiet; critters that don’t migrate stay hunkered down in warm dens, waiting for the spring (Humans included!). Spring is a welcome awakening; as the snow melts away and leaves begin to bud on the trees, life reappears and prepares for a new year. Summer is a bustle of energy and life; insects are busy pollinating the next generation of wildflowers, and birds sing from every corner of the forest. Autumn is a time for harvesting and a time for goodbyes; mammals fatten themselves up to prepare for a winter food shortage, and birds of a feather flock together to follow their food south. For many of us, seasonal change is old news."

Some of the major places that they are found in are Asia, southwest Russia, Japan and eastern China. However, deciduous forests can also be found in southern Chile, New Zealand, southeastern Australia and on the middle east coast of Paraguay. Types of trees that are found in these forests are oak, lime, beech, birch and northern arrowwood. ( T., Connie, 2000) Sunlight: Deciduous forests don’t receive much sunlight because of their dense canopies. However, through cracks in the canopy, streaks of sunlight do come through and reach the forest floor. This sunlight helps the plants in each of the four, or sometimes five, layers of the forest to grow. ( Earth Floor, 2004)Deciduous wood forest and sunlight Climate: The deciduous forest biome is located between the polar regions and the tropics. The warm and cold air that comes from both of these places is what causes the change of climate in this biome.

It causes little or no adverse symptoms in its usual primary hosts (common rodents such as laboratory rats and pet hamsters) (Arai, 1980), and colonization of humans is rare and generally without any adverse symptoms, even in developing countries where the organism is very common (Wiwanitkit, 2004). Thus, by definition, the species is not a parasite. At the same time, the organisms efficiently supplement the biome. Hymenolepis diminuta cystercercoids (HDCs) offer the following advantages over other organisms (nematodes that are generally cultivated in either pigs or in humans) that are currently being used to enrich the fauna in humans. ( a) The low cost of cultivation facilitates its use for biome supplementation by the population as a whole. ( b) No transmission from human-to-human is possible, since (1) the organism does not effectively colonize humans, and (2) an intermediate host is required for the life-cycle of the organism to be complete. ( c) HDCs are taken orally, like other organisms currently found in food (e.g., probiotics and yeast for brewing beer and culturing yogurt). ("

When people talk about “the tundra” they are referring mostly to the unique ecosystem that exists around the Arctic Circle, but the tundra actually includes areas of Alaska, Canada and Antarctic. The tundra climate spans from most of Greenland to parts of Alaska, northern Canada, and northern Russia. The tundra climate is usually found between the 60-75 degree latitudinal range. There are three classifications of tundra: Arctic Tundra Alpine Tundra Antarctic Tundra Tundras are areas in which a state known as “permafrost” exists. This means that the soil never fully thaws to allow for deep root growth. There is a distinct border between tundra and non-tundra that is evidenced by a tree-line, this marks where the permafrost ends as trees can now take root. The tundra, although treeless and barren appearing, has a vibrant ecosystem that includes plants, animals, insects and more. According to Wikipedia,“ In physical geography, tundra is a type of biome where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons."

"text": "Desert Biome Facts Desert Biome Description The desert biome is one that is very hot and dry. They are found at the lower latitudes, between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Light winds occur often which evaporates any type of moisture that is typically going to develop in them. The heat is very dry and that makes it hard for too many types of plants or animals to be able to survive in such biomes. Approximately 20% of the Earth falls into this category. Some of the desert biomes are extremely large. For example the Sahara desert in Africa is more than 3.5 million square miles in size. Others are extremely dry. For example the Atacama desert in Chile is a place that gets about ½ an inch of precipitation annually. It never rains there – the precipitation comes from the fog."

"text": "Biomes The two main types of biome are terrestrial (land-based) and aquatic (water-based). The easiest to discuss are the terrestrial biomes since they have a more definite boundary. The different climates of the Earth are governed by their average annual precipitation and temperature. By plotting a graph (as shown below) of the relationship of these two variables we can determine a region where similar types of organisms can exists no matter where the biome occurs on the planet. We will spend much of the time discussing the terrestrial biomes, though the aquatic biomes make up approximately seventy-five percent of the biomes on the planet. Aquatic biomes are sometimes difficult to categorize since many scientists debate the actual boundary between where some end and others begin. The main aquatic biomes are oceans, bays, lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, marshes, swamps and estuaries. The problem occurs in cases like an estuary where someone has to define where the ocean and river ends on either side of the estuary. Some scientists base the estuary on chemical values like salinity. Other scientists use geographical landmarks to try and simplify the boundary."

"text": "Cervical Vertebrae Structure [1] [2]The cervical spine is made up of two anatomically and functionally different segments. These two segments work together to produce rotation, lateral flexion, flexion and extension of the head and neck. It is made up of 7 vertebrae. The first 2, C1 and C2, are highly specialized and are given unique names: atlas and axis, respectively. C3-C7 are more classic vertebrae, having a body, pedicles, laminae, spinous processes, and facet joints. C1 and C2 form a unique set of articulations that provide a great degree of mobility for the skull. C1 serves as a ring or washer that the skull rests upon and articulates in a pivot joint with the dens or odontoid process of C2. Approximately 50% of flexion extension of the neck happens between the occiput and C1; 50% of the rotation of the neck happens between C1 and C2. The cervical spine is much more mobile than the thoracic or lumbar regions of the spine. Unlike the other parts of the spine, the cervical spine has transverse foramina in each vertebra for the vertebral arteries that supply blood to the brain."

With the patient sitting or standing, the examiner palpates the radial pulse and advises the patient to bend the head obliquely backward toward the side being examined, to take a deep breath, and to tighten the neck and chest muscles on the side tested. The maneuver decreases the interscalene space (anterior and middle scalene muscles) and increases any existing compression of the subclavian artery and lower components (C8 and T1) of the brachial plexus against the 1st rib. Marked weakening of the pulse or increased paresthesias indicate a positive sign of pressure on the neurovascular bundle, particularly of the subclavian artery as it passes between or through the scaleni musculature, thus indicating a probable cervical rib or scalenus anticus syndrome."

How is biomechanical engineering different than biomedical engineering and is Stanford a good place to study BME? At other colleges, biomechanical engineering is sometimes considered a subset of biomedical engineering. Stanford does not have a biomedical engineering major for undergraduates. Rather, each subset of biomedical engineering is considered its own major. The biomechanical engineering major combines mechanical engineering and biology while the biomedical computation major combines computer science and biology. Alternatively, Stanford offers individually designed majors (IDMs) where you can determine your own engineering curriculum in a way that will allow you to study your specific interests. All in all, Stanford is a great place to study biomechanical engineering. Stanford has earned its great reputation as an engineering school."

"text": "Introduction Active Release Techniques (ART) are a soft tissue method that focuses on relieving tissue tension via the removal of fibrosis/adhesions which can develop in tissues as a result of overload due to repetitive use. [ 1] These disorders may lead to muscular weakness, numbness, aching, tingling and burning sensations. ART has been reported to be both a diagnostic and a treatment technique, however, there is little scientific evidence regarding the effects of ART on various pathologies, with most of the available evidence being anecdotal and based on case reports. [ 2] [3] [4] [5]History of ARTART was developed and patented by Dr. P. Michael Leahy, DC, CCSP, a Doctor of Chiropractic medicine. Dr. Leahy noticed that the symptoms of patients were related to changes in their soft tissues so he developed this technique which revolved completely around the patient's symptoms. He documented his first work in 1985 under the title of Myofascial Release, but later patented it under the name Active Release Techniques . Purpose ART is used to treat symptoms with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. [ 6] [7] Its design is 3 fold:to restore free and unimpeded motion of all soft tissuesto release entrapped nerves, vasculature and lymphaticsto re-establish optimal texture, resilience and function of soft tissues. [ 8]Technique Tissues are prone to negative changes from trauma, such as swelling, fibrosis and adhesions. During treatment, the clinician uses manual therapy to apply compressive, tensile and shear forces to address repetitive strain injuries, cumulative trauma injuries and constant pressure tension lesions.

"text": "\"Metatarsalgia Article by John Miller What is Metatarsalgia? The most common source of Ball of Foot pain is metatarsalgia. The term is derived from the medical term metatarsals (long bones of the foot) and algos (the Greek word meaning pain). The metatarsal bones are designed to equally share the weight of a person during walking and daily activities. When this delicate balance between bones is disrupted, the result can be mild to intense foot pain. The term metatarsalgia refers to the number of problems people can experience in this area. Causes of Metatarsalgia The causes of metatarsalgia pain can be attributed to a number of factors, from bone abnormalities to systemic diseases such as diabetes. The most common cause is an alteration of the posture in the long bones (metatarsals) of the foot. These bones absorb the weight during walking, and if one of the bones falls down through weakness or lack of support, is abnormally long or fractured from stress, it will create dysfunction among all bones. Other causes include: An enlarged metatarsal head."

"text": "A Deeper Look into Sciatica The term sciatica is not a diagnosis but actually a description of irritation of the sciatic nerve. And yes, it can literally be a pain in the butt or the leg or even in the foot. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in our body. It is created by contributions from spinal nerves that originate in our low back and sacrum. Nerve fibers from L3 (lumbar) through S4 (sacral) join together and run down the back of our leg as the sciatic nerve. Just above the knee the sciatic nerve splits into the tibial nerve and the peroneal (fibular) nerve. The tibial nerve goes to the back of the leg and bottom of the foot and the peroneal nerve goes to the front of the leg and top of the foot. Because the sciatic nerve covers so much territory it can cause a wide variety of symptoms. Symptoms of Sciatica Buttock pain Pain in the thigh Pain in the lower leg or foot Weakness in the leg or foot (foot drop)Although the term sciatica means there is inflammation to the nerve, the most common cause of the inflammation is pressure and irritation as a result of disc degeneration and protrusion. Pathological causes such as cancer that has metastasized from the gastrointestinal or genitourinary systems as well as tumors or infection of the nerve must be tested for and ruled out."

"text": "Distinguishing Between Antemortem, Perimortem, and Postmortem Trauma Ashley C. Smith, B. A. In the modern field of forensic anthropology, forensic anthropologists must begin with a set of remains, and then decipher a large amount of information from them. In particular, the forensic anthropologist must identify the individual, if possible, by determining age, sex, and ancestry of an individual, and then provide a rough estimate as to when that person may have passed. In addition, the forensic anthropologist may also have an additional task, which is to interpret any visible bone traumas found on the remains. When it comes to deciphering skeletal trauma and its importance to a particular case, one of the more important functions of the forensic anthropologist is the detection of the time frame in which that trauma was inflicted; or more precisely, whether that trauma occurred before, during, or after the terminal event (death) [1]. This understanding will assist in determining what exactly transpired in the cause an individual’s demise. Antemortem Trauma Of the three traumatic time-frames (ante-, peri-, and postmortem), the easiest of the traumas to detect are those that occur antemortem [2]. The ease of determining if trauma is antemortem derives from the fact that the fractures, generally, show signs of healing [3]. While healing begins almost immediately after the fracture, evidence of the healing processes can develop as early as one week after the injury [1, 2]. Between weeks one and three, the edges of the fracture will start to become remolded and rounded, and by week six, a bony callus will begin to form [2]. These time frames, however, can only be considered a generality because a variety of factors play into the healing rates, including the overall health and nutritional status of the injured, location of the fracture, and the severity of the injury [1]. While not pertaining to the event that transpired to cause death, antemortem fractures can and do play a major role in forensic anthropology. They can confirm the identity of an unknown decedent by using radiographic comparisons or, if the fracture was serious enough, through the presence of plates and pins, which have recorded serial numbers that are recorded in medical charts and kept by the manufacturer [1, 4]. Antemortem fractures can also be useful in documenting any history of abuse or accidental trauma [1, 2]. While motivations that may have caused a homicide or the direct reasonings behind a death (i.e. a fall) can never truly be determined through skeletal evidence, a history of abuse, in conjunction with other evidence, could be instrumental in determining whether a “suspicious fall” was accidental or homicide. Perimortem Trauma Perimortem skeletal trauma is the most important in understanding and reconstructing events because occurs around the time of the death event. By accurately understanding trauma patterns, a forensic anthropologist will have a better understanding of how the death event took place [1, 2, 3, 5, and 7]. It should be noted, however, that this category is more often used by an anthropologist than a forensic pathologist. Depending upon the pathologist, traumas in a medical sense are classified as either antemortem or postmortem by whether they were sustained before or after life functions ceased [6]. The distinction between perimortem and antemortem trauma can really be summed up in a singular word—healing [7]. Perimortem fractures contain biomechanics that are present in antemortem fractures, but because of death, the natural healing process never really takes place. In addition to the absence of the evidence of healing, , perimortem fractures can be distinguished from those that occur after decomposition because of the same antemortem biomechanics [2]. Green, or “living,” bone tends to be somewhat elastic, having a little bit of “give” when it bends [8]. This elasticity results in the edges of fractures to appear irregular, as opposed to the rather jagged or angled appearance associated with terminal breaks [2]. In addition, because of the elasticity of bone, “butterfly” or triangular fractures can also be created when the pushing force on a bone causes a radiating fracture, which follows the tension stresses exerted when force is applied on the opposite side of the bone."

A tendon injury may seem to happen suddenly, but usually, it is the result of many tiny tears to the tendon that have happened over time. Typically, tendon injuries occur in three areas:musculotendinous junction (where the tendon joins the muscle)mid-tendon (non-insertional tendinopathy)tendon insertion (eg into bone)Non-insertional tendinopathies tend to be caused by a cumulative microtrauma from repetitive overloading eg overtraining.

"text": "When I graduated from Lincoln Chiropractic College in 1956, I had come to the conclusion that chiropractic’s subluxation theory, that misaligned vertebrae can cause organic disease, was not true. When I began my practice in Panama City, Florida, I limited my practice to care of mechanical-type back pain and related problems. Back then, that was not too much of a stretch, since manipulative services were not readily available in medical practices and there were a number of orthopedic and physical medicine texts recommending use of manipulation in the treatment of back pain. In 1963, I published my book Bonesetting, Chiropractic, and Cultism, renouncing subluxation theory and recommending that chiropractic be developed as physical treatment specialty in the care of back pain. The book was reviewed by the Library Journal (February 1, 1964) and recommended for inclusion in medical and reference libraries. In 1965, I received a letter from the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) informing me that my application for membership in the ACA had been rejected. In the years to follow, I published many articles in an attempt to initiate an effort to change chiropractic from a subluxation-based practice to a legitimate physical treatment method that would fit in with mainstream health care. My suggestions were ignored and I was called a “chiropractic heretic.” Today, I find myself still saying some of the things I said in my 1963 Bonesetting book, still being rejected by most of my colleagues and still voicing opposition to subluxation theory. There are now some chiropractors who do not subscribe to the theory that some kind of segmental dysfunction in the spine can cause organic disease, but they are overshadowed by subluxation-based chiropractors who publish their own journals, using scientific-sounding jargon to defend implausible theories and dubious treatment methods."

Wolman Rheumatology, Volume 45, Issue 5, 1 May 2006, Pages 508–521, https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/kel046Published: 20 February 2006 Article history Views PDF Cite Permissions Share Abstract Primary disorders of tendons are common and constitute a high proportion of referrals to rheumatologists. Certain tendons are particularly vulnerable to degenerative pathology; these include the Achilles, patella, elements of the rotator cuff, forearm extensors, biceps brachi and tibialis posterior tendons. Disorders of these tendons are often chronic and can be difficult to manage successfully in the long term. Significant advances have been made in understanding the pathophysiology of these conditions. Histopathological evidence, together with advances in imaging techniques, has made us more appreciative of the degenerative (rather that inflammatory) nature of these conditions. Additionally the presence of neovascularization is now well-recognized in long-standing tendinopathy. We review the mechanical, vascular and developing neural theories that attempt to explain the aetiology of degenerative tendinopathy. We also explore theories of why specific tendons (such as the Achilles and supraspinatus tendons) are particularly prone to degenerative pathology. Traditionally, treatments have placed a heavy emphasis on anti-inflammatory strategies, which are often inappropriate. Recently, however, significant advances in the practical management of tendon disorders have been made."

Definition/Description The glenohumeral joint is the most commonly dislocated joint in the human body and 90% of shoulder dislocations are anterior. The reason for this is that the scapula is oriented about 30 degrees anterior and this to the coronal (frontal) plane of the body. Because of this the glenohumeral joint with the humerus is orienting anterior to the glenoid. [ 1]CDR. Matthew, T. Provencher et al. Described a Hill-Sachs lesion as followed : The Hill-Sachs lesion is a compression fracture of the posterosuperolateral humeral head that occurs in association with anterior instability or dislocation of the glenohumeral joint.

"text": "Osteochondral lesions of the ankle Article Metrics Related Content Cite this page No Comments Contents Introduction Anatomy Biomechanics Clinical Presentation Pathogenesis Classification (Staging)Physical Examination Imaging Conservative Treatment Operative Treatment Controversy References Introduction Injuries to the articular surface of the talar dome in the ankle joint are commonly called osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT). Other terms that refer to the same general process are osteochondral defects (OCD), osteochondritis dissecans, and transchondral fracture. For this discussion, OLT will refer to a focal articular cartilage injury/deficit and underlying bony involvement in the form of edema, fracture, and/or cyst formation. Anatomy The talus articulates with the tibia (tibial plafond and medial malleolus) and fibula (lateral malleolus) to form the ankle joint. The talar dome is trapezoidal in shape (broader anteriorly) and articulates with the tibial plafond, while the medial and lateral talar facets articulate with the respective malleoli. The talus has no muscular or tendinous attachments and receives much of its blood supply through its neck via branches of the dorsalis pedis and peroneal arteries. Additionally, the posterior tibial artery provides a branch to the medial aspect of the talus through the artery of the tarsal canal. Therefore, blood supply to the talar dome is supplied by this retrograde flow. OLTs have an intrinsic difficulty healing spontaneously due to the avascularity of articular cartilage and the inherent inability of healthy chondrocytes to migrate to areas of injury. Biomechanics OLTs can occur from a single traumatic event or repeated microtrauma (eg, chronic instability)."

"text": "\"share Dynamic Chiropractic – September 9, 2012, Vol. 30, Issue 19Biomechanical Lesion: A Better Diagnostic Term for the Profession By John R. Bomar, DCFor those who may not be aware, the World Health Organization's latest revision of the International Classification of Diseases ( ICD-10) uses a new primary term to describe the major condition treated by chiropractic physicians. The new term is biomechanical lesion and the code is M99, with decimal designations used for various sections of the body – e.g., M99.01, Biomechanical lesion, cervical region. It is thought that the ICD-10 system will be required sometime in 2014. More than a few chiropractors, myself included, feel this change in nomenclature is much-needed. The present term, non-allopathic lesion (739 series), completely fails to communicate the nature of the problems we address daily in our offices, and the term non-allopathic implies the concept of \"\"non-medical,\"\" as if what we treat has little to do with a person's health. Such a maldescriptive phrase does nothing to clear up the confusion and misconceptions associated with our work – misconstructions that only contribute to the apprehension and fear many feel when considering our profession. Such vague and indistinct terminology also discourages appropriate referral from other health care providers. Important also is the current void in understanding that exists between chiropractic providers and the insurance industry. Complicating all this is the insistence by some in our profession that others conform to our definition of the word subluxation, which is in conflict with the accepted medical definition."

Q: I am considering changing the pedals on my bike. I am currently using Speedplay pedals with a stainless steel spindle, and I have two questions. First, would switching to a pedal with a titanium spindle be beneficial? Second, I’ve been told that my pedals have too much float. What is float, and how do I determine the right amount of float for me? Question submitted by Frank Blazic of Cayucos, Calif. A: Pedals with titanium spindles will be slightly lighter than pedals with stainless steel axles. This is because titanium is less dense than steel and is therefore lighter per unit volume. However, titanium is also not as strong, stiff or as hard as steel per unit volume."

"text": "Design Feature What Is a Mantrap and Do You Need One?written by Jeff Clark October 17, 2012Although a large portion of data center security focuses on virtual threats, such as hackers, malware and so forth, physical site security is nevertheless critical as well. A thief or saboteur in the flesh can cause as much—if not more—damage than one in cyberspace. One of the keys to strong data center security is careful control of access to the facility. But every security procedure can be compromised; even the most stringent multifactor biometric authentication system can be defeated, particularly in the case where an intruder “piggybacks” or “tailgates” legitimate personnel into a secure area. That’s where so-called mantraps can offer some benefits. Mantraps: Basically What the Name Indicates A mantrap is essentially just that: a small room designed to “trap” those who would enter a secure area of a facility. This “trap” enables security—whether a system or an employee—to verify the credentials of the entrant and either allow access or trigger alerts indicating an unauthorized entry attempt. Mantraps, which are sometimes called security vestibules, are small rooms with two or more doors. Authentication procedures may be required either at just the door to the secure area or at all doors. The simplest implementation of a mantrap involves two doors: one connects the vestibule to the secure area, and one connects to the nonsecure area."

"text": "Expert GDPR QA: The material scope of personal data and legal implications Mihaela Jucan 23rd March 2017Every month, IT Governance gives a free EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) webinar on a topic such as the first steps organisations should take to manage GDPR compliance, the accountability principle and what it means for boards and senior management under the GDPR, the role of data protection officer (DPO), data flow mapping, and data protection policies and procedures. At the end of each webinar session, our GDPR expert/webinar presenter answers the questions attendees have asked during the webinar. This blog gathers together our experts’ answers to questions related to the material scope of personal data and the legal implications of the GDPR. Does PII include data of customers as well as employees of a company? The GDPR applies to all personal data that is collected in the EU, regardless of where in the world it is processed. Any database containing personal or sensitive data collected within the EU will be in scope, as will any media containing personal or sensitive data. Any organisation that has such data in its systems, regardless of business size or sector, will have to comply with the GDPR. Personal data is anything that can identify a ‘natural person’ and can include information such as a name, a photo, an email address (including work email address), bank details, posts on social networking websites, medical information or even an IP address. Is it anticipated that the DPA (1998) will be rewritten? Extremely unlikely – the UK government has confirmed that the GDPR will apply even after leaving the EU, and, as the legislation is in the form of regulation, it has direct effect and there is no need for the UK to implement further legislation to give effect to its provisions."

First seen on the Apple i Phone 5s over a year ago, Touch ID was branded by many as a gimmick, and by just as many as the future. Some regarded Apple’s new foray into biometric security as something to help justify the new 5s' modest upgrade over the new i Phone 5, and it’s easy to see why. Already found on many enterprise-level laptops from Lenovo, Toshiba and others, fingerprint readers had previously been something used in the business world but widely ignored by consumers. However, with the launch of the contactless Apple Pay system, and an increasing tendency for consumers to store sensitive information on mobile devices, biometric ID is slowly being taken seriously as a viable method of authentication. The widely publicised celebrity i Cloud hacking has also left many looking for an alternative to the humble username and password.

The following list describes the basic steps in the process for most people. There is also an approximate amount of time provided. However, this time frame can vary significantly for some cases. Receipt of Application APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 3 WEEKS AFTER FILINGIf your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, has been properly filed, USCIS will initially respond by mailing you a letter that confirms receipt of your application. The receipt letter is formally known as Form I-797C, Notice of Action (see example below) and arrives approximately 2-3 weeks after filing. If your Form N-400 has not been properly filed, USCIS may send a Notice of Action to reject the petition or may send a Request for Evidence that requests additional items.

While law enforcement, and high-security facilities have been using biometric identification for decades, we’re now living in a world that is making a real push toward biometrics for both identification and access-based technology in consumer goods. This push is bleeding into consumer markets in the form of fingerprint scanners for automobiles, laptops and mobile devices, facial recognition technology in computer software, and iris recognition used in ATMs in some corners of the globe.

Technical: These controls are used to control access and monitor potential violations. They may be either hardware- or software-based. Physical: These control systems are used to protect the welfare and safety of the employees and the organization. Physical controls include such items as smoke alarms, security guards, cameras, and mantraps. Answer: B. Authentication can take one of three forms: something you know, something you have, or something you are. Something you are, such as biometrics, is by far the strongest form of authentication. Systems such as retina and iris scans have high levels of accuracy. The accuracy of a biometric device can be assessed by means of the crossover error rate. Remember: On the exam, questions are sometimes vague, and you will be asked to pick the best available answer."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Iris recognition biometric systems apply mathematical pattern-recognition techniques to images of the irises of an individual's eyes. Iris recognition is an automated method of biometric identification that uses mathematical pattern-recognition techniques on video images of one or both of the irises of an individual's eyes, whose complex patterns are unique, stable, and can be seen from some distance. Retinal scanning is a different, ocular-based biometric technology that uses the unique patterns on a person's retina blood vessels and is often confused with iris recognition. Iris recognition uses video camera technology with subtle near infrared illumination to acquire images of the detail-rich, intricate structures of the iris which are visible externally. Digital templates encoded from these patterns by mathematical and statistical algorithms allow the identification of an individual or someone pretending to be that individual. [ 1] Databases of enrolled templates are searched by matcher engines at speeds measured in the millions of templates per second per (single-core) CPU, and with remarkably low false match rates. Several hundred million persons in several countries around the world have been enrolled in iris recognition systems for convenience purposes such as passport-free automated border-crossings and some national ID programs. A key advantage of iris recognition, besides its speed of matching and its extreme resistance to false matches, is the stability of the iris as an internal and protected, yet externally visible organ of the eye.

In a 1953 clinical textbook, F. H. Adler [2] wrote: \"\"In fact, the markings of the iris are so distinctive that it has been proposed to use photographs as a means of identification, instead of fingerprints.\"\""

"text": "Biometrics and the IAIWhat is biometrics? Biometrics is a noun that refers to the measurement and analysis of attributes of living things. The term “biometrics” has been historically used to refer to the application of statistics to a wide range of topics in medicine and agriculture, among other fields. The application of biometrics is critical in public health clinical trials and linking DNA gene alleles to diseases statistically. Since the 1990s it also become associated with automated ways to measure attributes of people to see if they have been encountered previously. Automated biometrics really started in the 1960s with some patented ideas and a few prototype systems. The best example might be Mitchell Trauring's article in Nature entitled Automatic Comparison of Finger-Ridge Patterns. This article in March of 1963 was in the same Journal that published Galton, Herschel, and Faulds in the 1880s. By the 1970s Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) systems provided automated ways to compare attributes extracted from images of friction ridge samples. The AFIS could then provide examiners with lists of candidates for further examination."

By Lindsey Cook, Data Editor Feb. 2, 2016, at 10:30 a.m. Why New Hampshire Matters in Presidential Elections Voters mark their ballots on Jan. 10, 2012, at Memorial High School in Manchester, N. H., during the state's presidential primaries. Matt Rourke/APNew Hampshire is the second state to make its picks for the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees. Residents will cast ballots in primary elections on Feb. 9, one week after the first presidential nominating contest in Iowa, where Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Hillary Clinton emerged victorious from the caucuses. If the past is any indication, the results in New Hampshire will likely differ from those of Iowa, whether by winner or vote margin. The state has an independent streak, and also differs from the rest of U. S. in key demographic areas. New Hampshire, too, is close to Sen. Bernie Sanders ' state of Vermont, and is expected to support the socialist Democrat to a greater degree than Iowa. And while all the early primary states are in the business of winnowing the presidential field, New Hampshire in the past has set itself apart by spooking the front-runner and supporting a lesser-known candidate. With a crowded field on the Republican side, that type of choice could make things particularly interesting. While we wait to see who the winners and losers will be, we're digging into the details of the second presidential nominating state to answer some questions you might have."

John Mc Cain, left, and Russ Feingold worked together to push through what was among the first significant campaign-finance reform measures in modern political history. U. S. Senateby Kathy Gill Updated May 03, 2017The Mc Cain-Feingold Act is one of the several federal laws that regulates the financing of political campaigns. It is named after its chief sponsors, Republican U. S. Sen. John Mc Cain of Arizona and Democratic U. S. Sen. Russell Feingold of Wisconsin. The law, which took effect in November 2002, was notable in that members of both political parties worked together to create what at the time was a groundbreaking effort to reform American politics. Since its passage, though, a number of court cases have chipped away at the heart of what Mc Cain and Feingold were attempted to do: limit the influence of money on elections. Related Story: 3 of the Most Important Campaign Finance Court Cases in History The U. S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in favor of the nonprofit corporation and conservative advocacy group Citizens United ruled that the federal government cannot limit corporations, unions, associations or individuals from spending money to influence the outcome of elections. The widely criticized ruling, along with another in the earlier Speech Now.org case, is cited as leading to the creation of super PACs.

"text": "What is the Purpose? The purpose of the filibuster is to derail a bill on the Senate floor. The filibuster is often a last-ditch effort by the minority party to delay or kill a bill or nomination. The word itself is fittingly derived from a Dutch word for “pirate,” indicating the intended purpose of taking hold of the floor in order to prevent a bill from moving to a vote. A filibuster could be a lengthy speech or a series of speeches; or it could mean that the minority party agrees amongst its members to block a vote. The Senate reports the record for a verbal filibuster is about 24 hours in 1957 by Sen. J. Strom Thurmond, in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. What is the Background? The U. S. Constitution does not explicitly give Senators the authority to filibuster, but it does permit Congress to make its own rules. The filibuster falls under this category. Filibusters are possible in the Senate, and not in the House, because the Senate explicitly lacks rules to limit debate and move to a vote."

"text": "What's in Store for Medicare's Part B Premiums and Deductible in 2016, and Why? Juliette Cubanski and Tricia Neuman Published: Nov 11, 2015Facebook Twitter Linked In Email Print Issue Brief Appendix Endnotes On November 10, 2015, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the 2016 Medicare Part B monthly premium and annual deductible amounts of $121.80 and $166, respectively. 1 The Medicare Trustees had projected that Part B premium and deductible amounts would increase by an unprecedented 52 percent between 2015 and 2016, 2 before the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-74) was passed by Congress and signed into law on November 2, 2015. According to the Trustees, the magnitude of the projected increase in the standard premium was attributable to higher-than-expected Part B spending in 2014; a need to provide for adequate reserves in the Supplementary Medical Insurance trust fund; and the effect of having no cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Social Security benefits in 2016. The lack of a Social Security COLA means that 70 percent of Part B enrollees are prevented from paying higher Part B premiums in 2016 due to the so-called ‘hold-harmless’ provision in the Social Security law, while the other 30 percent will face higher premiums. 3As a result of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, the Part B monthly premium will be increasing for 30 percent of Part B enrollees from $104.90 in 2015 to $121.80 in 2016—a 16 percent increase, but far less than the increase initially projected by the Medicare actuaries (Figure 1). This total amount includes a $3 repayment surcharge, which will be added to monthly premiums over time to cover the cost of the reduced premium rate in 2016. The 70 percent of Part B enrollees who are protected by the hold-harmless provision will pay a monthly premium of $104.90 in 2016, the same as in 2015, and no premium surcharge. Figure 1: Medicare Part B Monthly Premiums, 2015-2016This brief explains how the Medicare Part B premium and deductible are changing for 2016, the circumstances that led lawmakers to modify the formula for determining these amounts for 2016, related provisions of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, and the implications for beneficiaries’ premiums and deductibles in 2016 and future years.

Bangura, 17, was arrested last year after she was accused of threatening a teacher. Though she was never charged, she worries that the incident could sink her adult ambitions. ( AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)At a time of historic polarization in Washington, one issue has garnered strong bipartisan support: criminal justice reform. Exhibit A is the list of strange bedfellows who have recently joined forces through the “transpartisan” Coalition for Public Safety. This new effort has brought together leading progressive organizations such as the Center for American Progress and the ACLU, alongside influential conservative groups such as Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, Freedomworks, and the Koch Brothers. With George Soros’ Open Society Foundation also serving as a longtime force pushing for criminal justice reform, this reflects rare left-right synergy. Much of the bipartisan focus in Washington has centered on the need for sentencing reform, through proposals like tackling overly harsh mandatory minimums. Sentencing reform is urgently needed, and bipartisan efforts such as Senator Lee’s (R-UT) and Senator Durbin’s (D-IL) Smarter Sentencing Act provide cause for optimism. But the problems with our broken criminal justice system don’t end when an individual is released from jail or prison."

"text": "\"In the wake of last week's deadly church shooting in Texas and this week's shooting in Northern California, legislators have come together to find common ground. The one thing that everyone can agree on is that the National Instant Background Check System (NICS) has flaws. That was proven in a couple of mass shootings where the shooter legally obtained a firearm. A bipartisan group of senators on Thursday introduced Senate Bill 2135, also known as the Fix NICS Act, which is designed to fix the reporting requirements for the NICS. This bill penalizes federal agencies who fail to report relevant criminal records to the FBI and creates an incentive for states to make sure their reporting is up-to-date by giving federal grant preferences to states who comply. The bill also directs more federal funding to make sure domestic violence records are accurately reported to the FBI.“For years agencies and states haven’t complied with the law, failing to upload these critical records without consequence,” Sen. Cornyn said in a release. “ Just one record that’s not properly reported can lead to tragedy, as the country saw last week in Sutherland Springs, Texas. This bill aims to help fix what’s become a nationwide, systemic problem so we can better prevent criminals and domestic abusers from obtaining firearms. ”The bill's sponsors include John Cornyn (R-TX), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Tim Scott (R-SC), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), along with Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Dean Heller (R-NV), and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).

"text": "Why did it take Congress nearly a decade to pass the Every Student Succeeds Act? In the following excerpt from their new book The Every Student Succeeds Act: What It Means for Schools, Systems, and States, Frederick M. Hess and Max Eden explain how what might appear to be a story of Congress “not working” can actually be seen as a story of Congress working exactly as it is supposed to, finding agreement on a major issue in a big, diverse, and complicated nation. When President Barack Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) into law on December 10, 2015, he joked that it was “a Christmas miracle.” Miracle or not, it was striking to see majorities in both political parties support a major piece of legislation in an era marked by gridlock and government shutdowns. Most experts thought that ESSA was a long shot, even just a few months before it passed. For our part, we recall walking out of a meeting with Republican Senate Education Committee staffers, convinced that there wasn’t a chance. We were both struck by their exasperation with the Obama administration’s education agenda. Substance aside, they thought that the administration had played fast and loose with the traditional policymaking process. Rather than press Congress to pass a law to replace No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the Obama administration used federal stimulus money to encourage states to accept its policy preferences and waivers from NCLB’s penalties to ensure those policies were implemented. This wasn’t the way separation of powers was supposed to work."

"text": "\"What Was (Is) the “War on Poverty” Anyway and Does it Matter Today? Published: 19 December 2013Tweet0 Comments With January 8, 2014 marking the 50th anniversary of the State of the Union speech given by LBJ declaring war on poverty, we are likely to hear a fair amount of debate about whether it was a success or failure in coming months. The quality of this debate would be much improved if there were a historically grounded, non-symbolic definition of the war on poverty, so here’s my quick attempt at one (with apologies to real historians). Currently, the media tends to follow the right’s framing which reduces the war on poverty to existing means-tested benefits and programs and pins big-sounding dollar amounts to it. For example, Heritage’s Rachel Sheffield describes the war on poverty as “putting into place a multitude of government means-tested welfare programs” and continuing to this day. In one sense this is an oddly narrow definition since it excludes initiatives like the establishment of Medicare, increases in Social Security retirement benefits, and the expansion of minimum wage coverage, all of which were identified by the Johnson administration as a core part of the war on poverty. In another sense, it is an oddly expansive definition since it encompasses policies and programs put in place after the “conservative reorientation of the role of the federal government in our economy”, as President Ronald Reagan put it in his 1982 Economic Report. These include the fundamentally conservative 1996 law that ended the Social Security Act’s Aid to Families (AFDC) program and replaced it with a block grant that has now been frozen for nearly two decades at its mid-1990s nominal funding level. In an excellent new Russell Sage Foundation book on the war on poverty, Martha Bailey and Sheldon Danziger take a more historically informed approach, defining the war on poverty as:\"\"The full legislative agenda laid out in the 1964 State of the Union and in the eleven goals contained in chapter 2 of the 1964 Economic Report of the President, titled 'Strategy against Poverty'... These goals include maintaining high employment, accelerating economic growth, fighting discrimination, improving regional economies, rehabilitating urban and rural communities, improving labor markets, expanding educational opportunities, enlarging opportunities for youth, improving the Nation’s health, promoting adult education and training, and assisting the aged and disabled. \"\" By their definition, the war on poverty includes 16 major pieces of legislation passed during the Johnson administration between 1964 and 1968 (for a list, see their very helpful Table 1.1 in the first chapter of the book, which is available on line )."

"text": "It’s been more than 30 years since then-Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., paid a visit to the White House to lean on President Ronald Reagan about enacting what today is viewed by some as the “Reagan amnesty. ”“It’s high time we regained control of our borders, and this bill will do it,” Ronald Reagan said. In his book, “ Reagan: The Life ,” H. W. Brands writes about the president’s interpretation of a 1986 immigration bill at the time. “Al Simpson came by to see if he had my support,” Reagan recorded in October 1986, shortly after the measure cleared the House. “ They have one or two amendments we could do without, but even if the Senate conference can’t get them out, I’ll sign it. It’s high time we regained control of our borders, and this bill will do it. ”The legislation at the time was widely viewed as an enforcement-first measure, said then-Attorney General Edwin Meese III, who advised Reagan on the matter along with other Cabinet officials. “It is very definitely a teachable moment,” Meese, the Ronald Reagan distinguished fellow emeritus at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal, when asked how the 1986 legislation might inform President Donald Trump in his negotiations with congressional Democrats on codifying the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), implemented by his predecessor."

Although many taxpayers equate \"\"amending\"\" with \"\"changing,\"\" the word \"\"amend\"\" has a very specific, narrowly-defined meaning in the world of taxes: Amend (verb) – To make changes to an e-filed return that has either been accepted by the government or a paper return that has already been mailed. An amendment must be filed on a specific tax form created exclusively for that purpose (for example, Form 1040X is used to amend federal 1040-EZ, 1040-A, and 1040 returns). According to this definition, making changes to a return that hasn't been accepted or mailed yet is – well – making changes to a return that hasn't been accepted or mailed yet. For this reason, you can't amend an e-filed return that's in pending or rejected status. Related Information: How to amend (change or correct) a return you already filed Do I need to amend?

Email Print Share Follow @TIMEBusiness Washington ’s focus has shifted to immigration reform this week as a bipartisan group of Senators put forward a comprehensive plan on Monday and President Obama followed with a proposal of his own yesterday. The debate thus far has been anchored around the bipartisan Senate proposal, the President’s support for a “path to citizenship,” and House Republican’s opposition to it. The opposition to the plan so far has centered around concerns about such a deal inviting a new influx of undocumented workers, or its rewarding those who have violated the law. These are important discussions to have, but with the economy here at home still so fragile, many are wondering what sort of effect immigration has on the American economy. Here’s a look at four big questions concerning the economics of immigration: Does immigration reduce wages for native-born Americans? It might seem like a no-brainer that increased immigration would reduce the wages of native-born Americans. A simple supply and demand model would tell you that more workers means lower wages."

The first table has been updated to reflect the passage of the omnibus, and the allocations table has been updated to reflect the numbers in the bill. See our blog post for more about budget gimmicks contained in the bill. Both chambers have advanced some appropriations bills. The Senate has laid out its topline spending targets known as 302 (b) allocations for the twelve Appropriations subcommittees to direct the appropriations process as provided in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA). The House is pushing ahead without an official 302 (b), though the House Appropriations Committee has said it will move forward with informal allocations based on the top line limit set in the BBA last year. As we did last year, we'll be tracking the bills as they move from committee to the House and Senate floor, and onto the President's desk."

R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to the Senate. ' This bill cuts taxes for individuals at every income level and the numbers do not lie, this is a bill that focuses on middle-income earners,' said Davis. ' By doubling the standard deduction, the first $12,000 of a single filer and $24,000 of a couple's income will be tax free. We also double the Child Tax Credit to $2,000 for each child and make more families eligible to receive it. This bill maintains popular deductions for things like home mortgages, medical expenses, state and local taxes with a reasonable cap, and others. Because of these important provisions, the average family of four making the country's median income of $73,000 will receive a $2,000 tax cut. This is an historic week as we work to cross the finish line to help hardworking taxpayers keep more of what they earn now. ' Making Individual Tax Cuts Permanent The original House bill made the individual tax cuts permanent, but due to limits within the Senate budget reconciliation rules, which is needed because no Democrats have signaled they will vote for the bill, they are set to expire in 2025 if not extended."

Burr picked up the phone at Spicer’s request and told reporters the story was false, Axios reports, but didn’t provide any evidence to back it up, and wasn’t quoted on the record. Nunes reportedly volunteered. He told The Post that he was already making similar calls, but made an additional one at the White House’s request.

Some Republicans said Mr. Boehner had not taken a strong enough stance against the president’s immigration action. Stephen Crowley/The New York Times WASHINGTON — The House narrowly passed a $1.1 trillion spending package on Thursday that would fund most government operations for the fiscal year after a rancorous debate that reflected the new power held by Republicans and the disarray among Democrats in the aftermath of the midterm elections. The accord was reached just hours before the midnight deadline, in a 219-206 vote, amid the last-minute brinkmanship and bickering that has come to mark one of Congress’s most polarized — and least productive — eras. The legislation now heads to the Senate, which is expected to pass it in the coming days. The split in the Democratic Party dramatically burst into view when Representative Nancy Pelosi, the minority leader and one of President Obama’s most loyal supporters, broke with the administration over a provision in the bill that would roll back regulation of the Dodd-Frank Act, which Ms. Pelosi said was a giveaway to big banks whose practices helped fuel the Great Recession. She spoke on the House floor in the early afternoon, expressing her strong opposition to the bill. Mr. Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. were pressed to make a furious round of phone calls to try to persuade wavering Democrats, while House Speaker John A. Boehner worked to get more Republican votes. Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, on her way to the House floor Thursday night, had urged Democrats to oppose the legislation."

S. politics. Mc Cain’s campaign has raised a total of $119,594,596. Where Does the Money Come From? The vast majority of the funds raised by the two campaigns has come from individual donors. The 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act and Federal Election Commission rules limit individual contributions to a maximum of $2,300 per candidate, per election for 2007-2008. The primary election and general election are considered to be two separate elections, which means an individual can donate up to $4,600 to a single candidate (half of that to the primary election and half to the general). Individual contributions make up 88 percent of the total amount raised by the Mc Cain campaign and 100 percent of the money raised by the Obama campaign."

See the Texas redistricting fight of 2003 on.amatukaze · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating There are usually three kinds of gerrymandering. One is \"\"racial,\"\" which the Supreme Court said is unconstitutional in a string of cases starting with Shaw v. Reno, 1993. In that kind, the goal is to draw the district in such a way that the population will be black majority or hispanic majority. And in this form of gerrymandering, the district encompasses only select parts of cities which are far apart from one another. The other two kinds of gerrymandering are partisan rather than racial. The Supreme Court has been quite schizophrenic about these. The Court has talked about this, but has not given a clear indication as to whether these kinds are acceptable or unacceptable. And I use my own terminology to describe these two types -- terminology that I've never seen anyone else use."

It is possible. Here are a couple of scenarios. 1. The Trump University fraud case. Right now there are ongoing civil cases in NY and CA but if future cases (a distinct possibility) turned into a federal criminal probe and Trump is indicted, Congress would have all the justifications they need to start impeachment proceedings against him.2. Tax return irregularities or outright fraud. Trump has thus far refused to release his tax returns and based on the list of \"\"charitable work by Trump\"\" his campaign voluntarily provided, I'm not entirely surprised.

Source: Francis Moran When I recently read this fantastic article from Jamelle Bouie entitled Why Do Millenials Not Understand Racism?, I couldn’t help but think it didn’t go far enough. As someone who works with young people all the time, I definitely see the patterns Bouie describes in his analysis of research done by MTV (yeah, MTV does research! Whodathunk? ), but it’s just too simple to say that Millenials don’t understand racism. I think a lot of millenials in general misunderstand the connection between systems of oppression and interpersonal experiences of prejudice, but this is also a race-specific problem. And by race-specific, I mean that this is a White people problem more than anything. Now, let me be clear about why this article is directed at White people. First, I am White, and as such, my role in ending racial oppression must be in engaging other White people to join accountable work for racial justice."

Galston Thursday, November 4, 2010Facebook Twitter Linked In Email Download Download the Paper Dueling Explanations for the Mid-term Election Results During his first two years in office, President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress compiled a substantial record of policy accomplishment—the economic stimulus, bringing the financial system back from the brink of collapse, rescuing two automakers, universal health care, sweeping reform of financial regulation, and major changes in student loan programs, among many others. Nevertheless, the political standing of both the president and congressional Democrats slipped steadily through much of this period, and the voters administered a substantial rebuke in the November 2010 midterm elections. While some contests remain unresolved, the Democrats have lost at least six Senate seats, at least ten governorships, and more than sixty House seats, the most for a mid-term election since 1938. By any measure, this is a substantial and consequential expression of public discontent. What went wrong? There are four broad schools of thought. The first— popular among mainstream liberals, and the most supportive of the president—focuses on the unusual quantity and nature of problems that Obama inherited when he took the oath of office. Because economic downturns induced by financial crises differ fundamentally from ordinary cyclical recessions, recovery is slower and takes longer, generating sustained high unemployment. And because such crises destroy so much wealth, government must take costly steps to avert all-out disaster, expanding deficits and debt in ways that average citizens are bound to find alarming and hard to understand. As Brookings’s Thomas Mann puts it, summarizing this view,The simple fact is that no leader or governing party thrives politically in difficult economic times. . ."

Campaign finance in the United States is the financing of electoral campaigns at the federal, state, and local levels. At the federal level, campaign finance law is enacted by Congress and enforced by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), an independent federal agency. Although most campaign spending is privately financed, public financing is available for qualifying candidates for President of the United States during both the primaries and the general election. Eligibility requirements must be fulfilled to qualify for a government subsidy, and those that do accept government funding are usually subject to spending limits on money. Races for non-federal offices are governed by state and local law. Over half the states allow some level of corporate and union contributions."

Photograph: Jewel Samad/AFP/Getty Images Donald Trump cast doubt on Friday that he and Congress would soon reach a deal to protect 800,000 young undocumented immigrants from deportation, saying that a bipartisan plan presented to the White House was “a big step backwards”. On Thursday, a group of Republican and Democratic senators took a bipartisan plan to the president, raising those hopes that he would agree to continue Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca), a program started by Barack Obama. A day earlier, a federal judge had blocked the president’s attempt to end the program outright this March. Quick guide What is Daca and who are the Dreamers? Show But on Friday morning Trump demanded funding for a border wall with Mexico, an end to so-called “chain migration” of family-sponsored visas and an end to any lottery system of entry. “The so-called bipartisan Daca deal presented yesterday to myself and a group of Republican Senators and Congressmen was a big step backwards,” he tweeted on Friday. “ Wall was not properly funded, chain [and] lottery were made worse. ”He added, without evidence, that such measures would mean “USA would be forced to take large numbers of people from high crime countries which are doing badly”, a remark that echoed his first campaign claims deriding people from Mexico. The potential deal was orchestrated by six senators, including three Republicans – Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake and Cory Gardner – and three Democrats – Dick Durbin, Michael Bennet and Bob Menendez."

There is no question that the following policy is bipartisan. Democrats and Republicans in Congress are completely agreed that the following information should not get out to the American people, namely, that the present value of the United States government’s off-budget liabilities is over $200 trillion.…the government needs $205 trillion… to invest in the private sector, in order to fund its legal liabilities. The man who has followed this for the longest time is Prof. Laurence Kotlikoff of Boston University. He has created a great deal of embarrassment for the government by his relentless pursuit of the statistical implications of the statistics released by the Congressional Budget Office. The Congressional Budget Office has a way to avoid this, namely, to cease publishing the statistics that Kotlikoff has used to expose the real condition of the United States government. Kotlikoff referred to this suppression of information in an article that appeared in Forbes. The CBO has two sets of books. This is what any Ponzi scheme requires."

Standout, bipartisan investigations, though few and far between, offer a better model. By Francine Kiefer, Staff writer July 7, 2016J. Scott Applewhite/AP View Caption About video ads View Caption Washington — At an emergency hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday, Republicans repeatedly asked FBI Director James Comey about a “double standard” for Hillary Clinton in her handling of government emails on her private setup while secretary of State. How could Mrs. Clinton escape prosecution while “the average Joe,” as Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R) of Utah put it, would be “in handcuffs” for doing the same thing? Mr. Comey expressed understanding for such questions – raised by many Americans as well – but said his professional investigative team, which didn’t “give a hoot about politics,” had found no criminal intent to break the law. And only once in the last century has the Justice Department brought charges based on a lesser standard, gross negligence. That case was for espionage. “There is no way anybody would bring a case against John Doe or Hillary Clinton for the second time in 100 years based on those facts,\"\" the director told the House oversight committee, which had hastily called the briefing just days before a seven-week congressional recess.

A few months ago on IVN, Wes Messamore explored the similarities between the two major party candidates, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.100 Ways Republicans Are Just Like Democrats Here’s a look at the broader similarities between the Democratic and Republican parties:1. A large number of Democrats and Republicans signed the National Defense Authorization Act for the year 2012, which critics say allows for the indefinite detention of American citizens on U. S. soil without due process. President Obama pledged to veto the NDAA, but went back on his word and signed it into law with the indefinite detention provision included. Mitt Romney says that he would do the same. Follow IVNI accept IVN's terms and conditions?2. Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly favor Keynesian economics rather than other schools of economic thought such as the Austrian School of economics.3. The Bush-era Patriot Act, which allows for warrantless wiretapping, was passed with bipartisan support and recently extended by policymakers of both parties. Romney has voiced his support for the controversial legislation."

"text": "Photo by Win Mc Namee/Getty Images In the span of a few hours on Thursday, prospects for a deal on immigration in Congress — including a solution for immigrants fearing the demise of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — had gone from one senator calling negotiations “all peachy” to President Donald Trump announcing he’s tired of helping people from “shithole” countries. What looked like a breakthrough day for DACA ended in limbo. Early in the afternoon, Republicans and Democrats sounded like they’d made progress. “ We have an agreement in principle and we are shopping it to our colleagues,” Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who is part of a bipartisan immigration working group with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and three Democrats, said. “It’s all peachy,” Flake said with a laugh in the early afternoon, noting that the agreement covered Trump’s four requirements: addressing DREAMers, border security, family-based immigration, and the visa lottery system. The sentiment was short-lived. Graham’s pitch to the president Thursday afternoon wasn’t a success. The White House’s congressional liaison, Marc Short, said there was a “ways to go,” and by mid-afternoon, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said there was no deal. By late afternoon, the Washington Post was reporting that the president had shocked the senators by complaining about immigrants from “shithole” countries like Haiti and saying the US should take more immigrants from Norway instead. Democrats and Republicans are trying to come to an agreement by the end of next week on what to do about the 690,000 unauthorized immigrants who are losing or set to lose their deportation protections under the DACA program."

Seyfarth Shaw’s dedicated Trade Secrets group has created a resource which summarizes the legislation, outlines the arguments in favor of and against the legislation, and provides additional resources for our readers’ convenience. This page will be continuously updated as we monitor and keep you apprised of the most recent developments, debate, and news regarding the legislation. Below we provide an overview of trade secret law and the federal legislation, the arguments on both sides of the debate, and our most current resource links. How Are Trade Secrets Currently Protected? Trade secrets are legally protectable information and can include a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process. To meet the most common definition of a trade secret, a trade secret has three parts: (1) information; (2) reasonable measures taken to protect the information; and (3) which derives independent economic value from not being generally known. Examples of trade secrets include, plans, designs, negative information, computer software, customer lists, non-public financial information, cost and pricing information, manufacturing information, confidential information about business opportunities, and certain personnel information. Trade secrets are generally protected by state law under a particular state’s adoption of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA). The UTSA, published by the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) in 1979 and amended in 1985, was an act promulgated in an effort to provide a unified legal framework to protect trade secrets."

Senateby Kathy Gill Updated May 03, 2017The Mc Cain-Feingold Act is one of the several federal laws that regulates the financing of political campaigns. It is named after its chief sponsors, Republican U. S. Sen. John Mc Cain of Arizona and Democratic U. S. Sen. Russell Feingold of Wisconsin. The law, which took effect in November 2002, was notable in that members of both political parties worked together to create what at the time was a groundbreaking effort to reform American politics. Since its passage, though, a number of court cases have chipped away at the heart of what Mc Cain and Feingold were attempted to do: limit the influence of money on elections. Related Story: 3 of the Most Important Campaign Finance Court Cases in History The U. S.

( October 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Campaign finance reform is the political effort in the United States to change the involvement of money in politics, primarily in political campaigns. Although attempts to regulate campaign finance by legislation date back to 1867, the modern era of \"\"campaign finance reform\"\" in the United States begins with the passage of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) of 1971 and, more importantly, 1974 amendments to that Act. The 1971 FECA required candidates to disclose sources of campaign contributions and campaign expenditures. The 1974 Amendments essentially rewrote the Act from top to bottom. The 1974 Amendments placed statutory limits on contributions by individuals for the first time, and created the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as an independent enforcement agency. It provided for broad new disclosure requirements, and limited the amounts that candidates could spend on their campaigns, or that citizens could spend separate from candidate campaigns to promote their political views. Specifically, it attempted to restrict the influence of wealthy individuals by limiting individual donations to $1,000 and donations by political action committees (PACs) to $5,000."

This is in contrast to partisanship, where an individual or political party only adheres to their interests without compromise.

Photograph: Jewel Samad/AFP/Getty Images Donald Trump cast doubt on Friday that he and Congress would soon reach a deal to protect 800,000 young undocumented immigrants from deportation, saying that a bipartisan plan presented to the White House was “a big step backwards”. On Thursday, a group of Republican and Democratic senators took a bipartisan plan to the president, raising those hopes that he would agree to continue Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca), a program started by Barack Obama. A day earlier, a federal judge had blocked the president’s attempt to end the program outright this March. Quick guide What is Daca and who are the Dreamers? Show But on Friday morning Trump demanded funding for a border wall with Mexico, an end to so-called “chain migration” of family-sponsored visas and an end to any lottery system of entry. “The so-called bipartisan Daca deal presented yesterday to myself and a group of Republican Senators and Congressmen was a big step backwards,” he tweeted on Friday. “ Wall was not properly funded, chain [and] lottery were made worse. ”He added, without evidence, that such measures would mean “USA would be forced to take large numbers of people from high crime countries which are doing badly”, a remark that echoed his first campaign claims deriding people from Mexico. The potential deal was orchestrated by six senators, including three Republicans – Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake and Cory Gardner – and three Democrats – Dick Durbin, Michael Bennet and Bob Menendez."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Budget sequestration is a procedure in United States law that limits the size of the federal budget. Sequestration involves setting a hard cap on the amount of government spending within broadly defined categories; if Congress enacts annual appropriations legislation that exceeds these caps, an across-the-board spending cut is automatically imposed on these categories, affecting all departments and programs by an equal percentage. The amount exceeding the budget limit is held back by the Treasury and not transferred to the agencies specified in the appropriation bills. [ 1] The word sequestration was derived from a legal term referring to the seizing of property by an agent of the court, to prevent destruction or harm, while any dispute over said property is resolved in court. The term \"\"budget sequestration\"\" was first used to describe a section of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Act of 1985 (GRHDRA). The hard caps were abandoned and replaced with a PAYGO system by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, which was in effect until 2002. Sequestration was later included as part of the Budget Control Act of 2011, which resolved the debt-ceiling crisis; the bill set up a Congressional debt-reduction committee and included the sequestration as a disincentive to be activated only if Congress did not pass deficit reduction legislation. However, the committee did not come to agreement on any plan, activating the sequestration plan. The sequestration was to come into force on January 1, 2013 and was considered part of the fiscal cliff, but the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 delayed it until March 1 of that year.

"text": "It’s been more than 30 years since then-Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., paid a visit to the White House to lean on President Ronald Reagan about enacting what today is viewed by some as the “Reagan amnesty. ”“It’s high time we regained control of our borders, and this bill will do it,” Ronald Reagan said. In his book, “ Reagan: The Life ,” H. W. Brands writes about the president’s interpretation of a 1986 immigration bill at the time. “Al Simpson came by to see if he had my support,” Reagan recorded in October 1986, shortly after the measure cleared the House. “ They have one or two amendments we could do without, but even if the Senate conference can’t get them out, I’ll sign it. It’s high time we regained control of our borders, and this bill will do it. ”The legislation at the time was widely viewed as an enforcement-first measure, said then-Attorney General Edwin Meese III, who advised Reagan on the matter along with other Cabinet officials. “It is very definitely a teachable moment,” Meese, the Ronald Reagan distinguished fellow emeritus at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal, when asked how the 1986 legislation might inform President Donald Trump in his negotiations with congressional Democrats on codifying the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), implemented by his predecessor."

H., during the state's presidential primaries. Matt Rourke/APNew Hampshire is the second state to make its picks for the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees. Residents will cast ballots in primary elections on Feb. 9, one week after the first presidential nominating contest in Iowa, where Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Hillary Clinton emerged victorious from the caucuses. If the past is any indication, the results in New Hampshire will likely differ from those of Iowa, whether by winner or vote margin. The state has an independent streak, and also differs from the rest of U. S. in key demographic areas. New Hampshire, too, is close to Sen. Bernie Sanders ' state of Vermont, and is expected to support the socialist Democrat to a greater degree than Iowa. And while all the early primary states are in the business of winnowing the presidential field, New Hampshire in the past has set itself apart by spooking the front-runner and supporting a lesser-known candidate. With a crowded field on the Republican side, that type of choice could make things particularly interesting. While we wait to see who the winners and losers will be, we're digging into the details of the second presidential nominating state to answer some questions you might have."

"text": "Why did it take Congress nearly a decade to pass the Every Student Succeeds Act? In the following excerpt from their new book The Every Student Succeeds Act: What It Means for Schools, Systems, and States, Frederick M. Hess and Max Eden explain how what might appear to be a story of Congress “not working” can actually be seen as a story of Congress working exactly as it is supposed to, finding agreement on a major issue in a big, diverse, and complicated nation. When President Barack Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) into law on December 10, 2015, he joked that it was “a Christmas miracle.” Miracle or not, it was striking to see majorities in both political parties support a major piece of legislation in an era marked by gridlock and government shutdowns. Most experts thought that ESSA was a long shot, even just a few months before it passed. For our part, we recall walking out of a meeting with Republican Senate Education Committee staffers, convinced that there wasn’t a chance. We were both struck by their exasperation with the Obama administration’s education agenda. Substance aside, they thought that the administration had played fast and loose with the traditional policymaking process. Rather than press Congress to pass a law to replace No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the Obama administration used federal stimulus money to encourage states to accept its policy preferences and waivers from NCLB’s penalties to ensure those policies were implemented. This wasn’t the way separation of powers was supposed to work."

By The Marshall Project Update 9:27 a.m. 10.29.2015Starting Friday and over the next few days, the federal Bureau of Prisons is set to release an estimated 6,112 people from custody as part of an effort that reduced their sentences for drug crimes. It is the largest one-time release of federal prisoners and it has been the subject of at least one recent political attack ad. But updated numbers from the Bureau of Prisons show that only about 1,000 of the inmates will be heading home directly from penitentiaries. Many of them — about 3,350 — have already left prison for halfway houses or home confinement over the past year. Edward Ross, a spokesman for the bureau, said 1,764 others will be turned over to the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to face possible deportation hearings. The release is the result of a vote by the independent U. S. Sentencing Commission last year to redraw federal sentencing guidelines for some drug offenses. As many as 46,000 people could see their sentences shrink under the new guidelines. Original Story You could think of it as an opening round in the long-awaited battle over criminal justice reform.

"text": "\"Benefits Health Care Reform Resources for Employers LIKE SAVE PRINT EMAILReuse Permissions Affordable Care Act Kept in Place with All Coverage and Reporting Obligations Beginning in 2017, the Republican majority in Congress and the Trump administration made repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) a top priority, and in March 2017 the House GOP leadership introduced the American Health Care Act (AHCA) as their designated bill to begin to \"\"repeal and replace\"\" the ACA. The House passed their legislation on May 4, 2017. In July 2017, Senate GOP leaders released the Senate's repeal and replacement bill, named the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA), but defections by both GOP Senate conservatives and moderates blocked passage. Senate Republicans' then tried to pass a \"\"skinny repeal\"\" bill dubbed the Health Care Freedom Act —which would have eliminated penalties under the ACA's individual mandate to enroll in ACA-compliant coverage and (through 2024) the employer mandate to provide coverage—but it, too, went down to defeat by a vote of 49 to 51. A September 2017 effort to pass the Graham-Cassidy bill, a last-ditch attempt to repeal and replace the ACA that would have ended the individual and employer mandates and given the states greater authority over their health care systems, was not brought up for a Senate vote as Republicans lacked enough support to pass the measure. These failures left in place the ACA's wide-ranging obligations for employers with 50 or more full-time employees or equivalents to provide ACA-compliant health coverage to employees who work at least 30 hours per week, and to track and report all employee hours to the IRS, along with other administrative requirements. Going forward, the GOP is likely to seek, with possible bipartisan support, specific targeted reforms. Among these efforts, Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee, is working to forge health care compromise legislation with Democrats. Until the ACA's employer coverage and reporting obligations are changed through legislative actions or regulatory adjustments, employers subject to the ACA must comply with all its coverage and administrative requirements."

"text": "\"Home › Article › Depression › FAQs about Depression ›What does it mean to be bipolar? In bipolar disorder (or manic depressive disorder), as in major depressive disorder, there is a basic disturbance in the background emotional tone we call mood. Unlike people with major depression (or unipolar disorder), bipolar patients have a variable pattern of depressed and manic episodes. Mania is the opposite of depression: exuberance, exalted mood, rapidity of speech (flight of ideas), expansiveness, grandiosity, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and poor judgment (which can lead to spending sprees). Delusions and hallucinations can occur. Untreated mania can wreak havoc with a person's life because of the great energy devoted to creating all sorts of complications. Bipolar disorder has strong familial tendencies and begins anywhere from childhood (rarely) to age 50 with an average age of onset around 30. In 1949, Dr. John Cade, an Australian psychiatrist, found lithium to be an effective treatment of mania. In the years that followed, lithium has become the mainstay of treatment for bipolar disorder. A steady regimen of lithium is taken to prevent manic and depressed episodes."

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Pediatrics: Developmental and Behavioral Articles Pediatric Bipolar Affective Disorder Updated: Feb 10, 2017Author: Bettina E Bernstein, DO; Chief Editor: Caroly Pataki, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Background Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder in which feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions are altered in the context of episodes of mania and depression. Previously known as manic depression, bipolar disorder was once thought to occur rarely in youth. However, approximately 20% of adults with bipolar disorder had symptoms beginning in adolescence. Polygenic investigations indicate that this disorder is phenotypically separate (with or without psychosis) from schizoaffective disorders and schizophrenia. [ 1]The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition ( DSM-5) does not distinguish adult-onset from childhood- or adolescent-onset symptoms of bipolar disorder. However, bipolar disorder in children is now referred to as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). The diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder are the same regardless of the patient’s age at the onset of symptoms. [ 2]DSM-5 uses universal symptoms to define the diagnostic criteria for mood episodes, including major depressive and manic episodes. At least 1 true manic episode, with or without psychotic features, is the necessary and sufficient criterion for type I bipolar disorder (BPI). A depressive episode is insufficient for this diagnosis, even in the presence of a strong family history of bipolar disorder."

"text": "Bipolar Type 1 is considered the most severe form of this illness. According to the DSM, Bipolar I is characterized by one or more manic episode or mixed episodes accompanied by episodes of depression. This is the most distinguishing, defining element of Bipolar I, i.e. at least one truly manic episode. A patient may display psychotic symptoms such as delusions of grandeur or hallucinations. In these cases, a patient’s condition is described as bipolar I with psychotic features. Bipolar 1 episodes of mania are so profound that some experts use the term “raging bipolar”. A key point is “the symptoms are severe enough to disrupt the patient’s ability to work and socialize. ”The nature of raging bipolar has been captured in this Psychcentral discussion of bipolar types with a focus on how Bipolar 1 is actually experienced. Someone suffering from bipolar I can have great difficulty functioning. You could have trouble holding down a job or dealing with your family."

The onset of bipolar disorder usually occurs between 20 to 30 years of age, with a second peak in the mid-40s for women. Typically, a patient with bipolar disorder will experience approximately eight to ten episodes of mania or depression in his or her lifetime. Some patients, however, have rapid-cycling disorder and experience many more episodes of mania or depression. Early recognition of bipolar disorder, which can be misdiagnosed as schizophrenia, personality disorder, or alcohol or drug abuse, and effective treatment of the acute episode are important due to the increased risk of suicide in untreated or inadequately-treated patients. For many years, the mainstay of treatment has been lithium, which acts to stabilize the cyclic nature of the disease. However, it has been reported that as many as 20 to 40 per cent of bipolar patients fail to respond to lithium therapy. Moreover, breakthrough depression commonly occurs in patients on lithium, which may necessitate the use of antidepressant drugs or electroconvulsive therapy. Alternative forms of therapy are anticonvulsant drugs such as carbamazepine or sodium valproate. These compounds are also associated with breakthrough depression."

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

If you have a question you want answered, please ask it on the combox of this post, and I’ll try my best to do some research and feature it in an upcoming Friday post. Today I have the pleasure of interviewing one of my favorite psychiatrists, Dr. Ron Pies. Dr. Pies is Professor of Psychiatry and Lecturer on Bioethics and Humanities at SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse NY; and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston. He is the author of “Everything Has Two Handles: The Stoic’s Guide to the Art of Living. ”Question: You’ve written a lot of the topic of grief and depression. How does a person know when grief becomes depression or another mood disorder? Dr. Pies: I think it’s important to understand that grief is often a component of clinical depression, so the two are by no means mutually exclusive. For example, a mother may be experiencing intense grief over her recently deceased child, which would be an expectable and quite understandable reaction to such a devastating loss."

It varies from person to person, with some having what is considered to be mild episodes, while other experience frequent and life threatening episodes. If you are looking for alternatives to the typical fare of prescription medications, you will find that for this particular disorder, they are few and far between. Many herbs have been used throughout the ages to treat this problem, but there has been almost no scientific research done in this area. Herbalists will tell you that the most useful herbs are the ones called nervines, and we are listing them here, among a few other natural compounds that many of those affected have stated has helped them personally. Of all the herbs on the planet, nervines are among the strongest, so they are the most likely to cause side effects or interactions with other medications. Natural does not mean completely harmless. If it is strong enough to heal you, then it is strong enough to harm you if not taken properly or with forethought.

"text": "\"Hub Pages » Health » Mental Health How to tell if you have Bipolar Disorder Updated on April 10, 2012becauseilive more Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric condition characterized by severe disturbances in mood. People suffering from bipolar disorder, a term which has replaced the outdated ‘manic depression‘, go through episodes of mania (exaggerated highs) and depression (debilitating lows) that they cannot control. Although doctors do not know the exact cause, it is believed that chemical, genetic and environmental factors all play a part. For the most part, bipolar disorder is caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. If certain neurotransmitters are not properly balanced, the brain is unable to regulate moods the way it is meant to. Symptoms Approximately one in seven people suffers from bipolar disorder, with symptoms usually originating among men and women in their early twenties and sometimes occurring in children and adolescents. The mood swings that people with bipolar disorder cycle through are vastly different from the moods of an average individual. In adults, their manic or depressive episodes can easily last up to weeks or even months. A teenager suffering from bipolar disorder can go through cycles of mania and depression over the course of a single day. Sometimes the episodes are unpredictable and will come on without warning; other times, the episodes follow a pattern that goes along with the changing of the seasons."

Wellbutrin, (generic name bupropion), can be considered a “helping hands” medication if someone with bipolar disorder is taking a mood stabilizer and exhibits mainly anti-manic signs. Wellbutrin is often preferred over a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) such as Zoloft or Prozac, since it does NOT cause sexual dysfunction or weight gain. These are often the primary reasons people with bipolar disorder cite for not taking their meds, even during a serious depressive episode. Wellbutrin does NOT cause these side effects. Medical News Today states:“Wellbutrin is chosen in preference to other antidepressants because its use is less likely to cause weight gain or sexual dysfunction. ”Other benefits of Wellbutrin? This is more than just a good medication for treating some cases of bipolar depression. Clinical studies have shown that as an antidepressant, Wellbutrin can be as effective as Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil."

The biscuits are oblong-shaped almond biscuits, made dry and crunchy through cutting the loaf of dough while still hot and fresh from baking in the oven. \"\" Biscotti\"\" is the plural form of biscotto. The word originates from the medieval Latin word biscoctus, meaning \"\"twice-cooked/baked.\"\" It defined oven baked goods that were baked twice, so they were very dry and could be stored for long periods of time. Pliny the Elder boasted that such goods would be edible for centuries. Such nonperishable food was particularly useful during journeys and wars, and twice baked breads were a staple food of the Roman Legions. Ok.......t hanks!"

One of the recipes that I was playing around with called for peeled hazelnuts, but I figured they would be a cinch to remove – however, I quickly realized that was not the case. Hazelnut skins are stubborn – mighty stubborn. Since picking papery peels off of 1 cup of hazelnuts sounded less than awesome, I did a little research and decided to use the roast and rub method. Essentially you roast the hazelnuts at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the nuts have darkened a bit and you can smell the nutty goodness wafting through your kitchen. Next, you place the hot nuts into a slightly dampened kitchen towel and rub the skins off using the towel. Apparently the combination of moisture and heat helps to loosen the skins. Well, this worked – sort of. After rubbing and rubbing and rubbing, many of the hazelnuts were still flecked with pieces of brown skin which pretty much annoyed the heck out of me. I knew there had to be a better way."

"text": "Things You Should Know About the Cinque Terre Once upon a time, the Cinque Terre actually was a collection of “sleepy fishing villages” – unlike today, when that phrase is still used to describe what has become one of Italy’s most popular tourist destinations. Thanks to a combination of spectacular views, great weather, and Rick Steves, the Cinque Terre is no longer “off the beaten path.” In fact, although it remains a little more difficult to reach than Italy’s big cities and hasn’t been overrun by mega-hotels, the Cinque Terre is well-equipped to handle the huge influx of travelers who make their way to the Ligurian coast each year. Despite the popularity of the Cinque Terre, there are still misconceptions about the region that it’s important to clear up before you visit. You would find out some of these things upon arrival, but learning about them beforehand will help make sure the trip you plan is the best it can be. With that in mind, here are some things you should know about the Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre is a plural phrase & means “five lands. ”The word “cinque” means five in Italian, and “terra” in the singular is land or earth. “ Terre” is just the plural form of “terra.” So “Cinque Terre” is “five lands,” referring to the five towns that make up this area collectively."

"text": "\"Related Articles Does Stevia Affect Blood Sugar? A High Sugar Level After a Meal Does Milk Help Raise Blood Sugar? Does Chamomile Tea Affect Blood Sugar Levels? Tea is an excellent option if you are concerned with your blood sugar levels. Pure tea is not likely to impact your blood sugar significantly, and some types of tea may even help improve your diabetes and blood sugar control. The key is to choose tea that does not contain added sugar, and carefully select the foods you enjoy it with. Carbohydrates and Tea Only carbohydrates can cause your blood sugar to spike, and pure teas are free of carbohydrates. Whether you choose green, oolong, white, rooibos or black tea, none of these pure teas will elevate your blood sugar levels. A cup of tea between your meals is a good way to help you stay alert with less caffeine than what is found in coffee. Food Combinations If you notice that you often have high blood sugar readings after drinking tea, it is most likely due to the foods you eat with it and not the tea itself."

"text": "\"THE TIPGluten Free Baking: Substituting Coconut Flour Coconut flour is becoming a favorite substitute flour of many people on restricted diets because it’s not only gluten free but also high in fiber and low in carbohydrates. It’s lighter than almond flour, making it especially good for cakes, muffins, and breads. Coconut flour is much drier and absorbent than the average flour so if you’re substituting it, you’ll need to make some adjustments, here’s how: When substituting coconut flour for all purpose or whole wheat flour, use the same amount of flour but add 1 extra egg (on top of what’s called for in the recipe) for every ounce of coconut flour. On average, 1/4 cup of coconut flour is equal to 1 ounce. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of all purpose flour and 2 eggs, use 1 cup of coconut flour and 6 eggs. This ratio of flour to eggs might seem crazy, but trust us, the coconut flour will absorb it up. As you’re experimenting with alternative flours, consider mixing coconut flour into the rotation.

Cut the lard (e.g. Crisco) into tiny slices and mix into the flour and baking powder. Add the remaining ingredients and work into a cookie dough. Roll the dough out till it is about 1/2 inch thick. Cut strips of dough about 1/2 inch wide and 6 inches long. Using the palms of your hands turn the strips of dough into very tiny taralli-style logs. Twirl the tiny taralli-style logs round each other so that three concentric circles are kind of formed -- the bottom part is a touch larger than the second one, and the last one sticks out a little."

Alphabetical Name Index Your name of Biscotti creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. You are rather studious, mentally challenging each new idea before accepting it. Because you learn so quickly you have little patience with those whose mental processes are somewhat slower, and you become supercilious or somewhat \"\"know it all\"\" in your attitude. This characteristic makes you rather unpopular with your associates. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you lack the ability to express yourself properly through the spoken word. Your lack of verbal expression restricts your close, personal associations.

Feb 10, 2008 #2rouxtheday Messages: 55Likes Received: 10Exp: Cook At Home Graham crackers are a sweet cracker (biscuit) that more closely resemble a cookie than a cracker, at least in flavor and usage. Cheesecake does not necessarily have a crust. But if you want one, uou can substitute any crushed crisp cookie for the graham cracker in making your cheesecake crust (e.g., shortbread, chocolate or vanilla wafers, gingersnaps, etc.). I've frequently seen recipes calling for amaretti, and I think biscotti would probably work really well, too. I've also had nut-based crusts on cheesecakes (crushed hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, etc.) which were quite delicious. There are some cheesecakes that call for a pastry crust, but it doesn't sound very appealing to me."

In the past 10 years or so I've been baffled by the change in the American English pronunciation of the word \"\"basil,\"\" the aromatic herb. It's derived from the Greek, basilikon, meaning kingly. In Italian, it's \"\"basilico, with a short A, in French it's \"\"basilic,\"\" also short A, and in English, for hundreds of years it has been \"\"basil,\"\" short A. And yet, most people today are saying \"\"basil\"\" with a long A. I resolutely continue to pronounce \"\"basil\"\" my way, that is, correctly... BUT---When, where and why did this change come about? Are people confusing \"\"basil,\"\" with \"\"basal,\"\" a word genuinely possessing that long A of pronunciation? Please advise, fellow foodies. Thank you. Posted at 01:53 PM in Food Controversies | Permalink Reblog (0)Comments Only the USA can change things as they believe they are the founders of speaking the English language - Basil the herb is a short 'a' and I will always continue to say it that way - while on the subject how about the word 'herb' the USA say 'erb' so does that mean that they dont say the 'h' as in er hat, is clothes, er car and so on this also baffles me - people now say 'for free' everything is 'for free' which is totally incorrect - it is either 'free' or 'for nothing' I can go on and on and on and on ..... Posted by: Ann | August 31, 2012 at 01:47 AMI am delighted to know that my daughter and I are not the only ones who still say basil with a short a. I have often just used its Italian name basilico, thereby sidestepping the issue, but I think that is a bit cowardly, so I will now continue using the pronunciation I grew up with, knowing there is a full army of short-a supporters behind me!Posted by: Martha | July 22, 2012 at 02:33 PMI share your bafflement. I grew up hearing the herb pronounced with a short a, and then when I learned Greek, realized that this pronunciation is true to the Greek roots of the word."

That’s good news for Arkansas, which produces 49 percent of the rice supply in the United States, ranking it first in the nation. Arkansas’s rice production is valued at nearly $2 billion annually, and rice is the state’s top export. Arkansas rice growers broke records in 2012, producing 7,340 pounds per acre, up 8 percent from 2011. Rice acreage also increased to 1.3 million acres in 2012 compared with 1.2 million acres in 2011. Feeding the World The future looks even brighter, says Riceland Foods president and CEO Danny Kennedy, because the math is on the side of rice farmers. “Today’s world population of 6.8 billion people is expected to grow to 9.1 billion by the year 2050,” he says. “ About half the earth’s population consumes rice as a primary component of their diets.

"text": "What Is It? Bismuth Oxychloride is a synthetically prepared white or nearly white amorphous or finely crystalline powder. In cosmetics and personal care products, Bismuth Oxychloride is used in the formulation of many products, including make-up, nail products, cleansing products, fragrances and hair coloring products. Why is it used in cosmetics and personal care products? Bismuth Oxychloride imparts a white color to cosmetics and personal care products. Scientific Facts: Bismuth is a naturally occurring, brittle metal. Bismuth-containing compounds can be found in a number of applications: as a pigment (Bismuth Oxychloride) in cosmetics and personal care products, and in Over-The-Counter (OTC) medicines (bismuth subnitrate) such as some used to treat gastrointestinal problems. Because bismuth compounds come from the earth they may contain trace amounts of heavy metals. The levels of heavy metals in Bismuth Oxychloride are regulated by the FDA, and the small amounts that may eventually be in cosmetic or personal care products do not pose a risk to human health."

"text": "\"Mineral Makeup Marketing Claims Prev NEXTSome mineral makeup contains bismuth oxychloride, an ingredient that's a known irritant.i Stockphoto.com /mashabuba Is mineral makeup really pure and natural? As with most big-business marketing claims, there's no simple answer. The terms \"\"pure\"\" and \"\"natural\"\" are neither standardized nor regulated in cosmetics, so companies can pretty much say whatever they want. Some products are what they seem -- made of all-natural minerals. Some aren't natural at all. The minerals zinc oxide and titanium dioxide have been common in foundations and powders for decades; technically, any makeup with those ingredients can call itself \"\"mineral makeup\"\" and be legally correct. You might look at the ingredient list of a mineral foundation and find synthetic preservatives like phthalates or parabens in it; you might find synthetic binders and fillers. There's just no way to know until you look, since labeling in the industry is pretty loose. So let's say you pick up a pot of \"\"100 Percent Pure\"\" Bare Minerals foundation and check the ingredients. It says: titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, bismuth oxychloride, mica and iron oxides."

Often confused with tin and lead due to its resemblance to those elements. Bismuth was utilised in ancient times by the Egyptians, Greeks, Asians, Romans and Chinese. Claude Geoffrey Junine was credited with its discovery in 1753 demonstrating its distinction from lead and tin. The Incas also utilised bismuth and used it with copper and tin to create a bronze alloy for knives.

Bismuth is a white, crystalline, brittle metal with a pinkish tinge. Bismuth is the most diamagnetic of all metals, and the thermal conductivity is lower than any metal except for mercury. Bismuth has a high electrical resistance and the highest Hall effect of any metal (i.e. the greatest increase in electrical resistance when placed in a magnetic field). Bismuth is stable to oxygen and water but dissolves in concentrated nitric air."

In the nineteenth century, a soothing and protecting lip-salve or lip pomade could be purchased from a local chemist, pharmacist or druggist, or made at home from one of a number of available recipes. Some lip-salves contained a red colouring agent – such as alkanet or black grape juice – that also redden the lips and made them more attractive. A Scarlet Lip-Salve. Take an ounce of the oil of sweet almonds, cold drawn; a drachm of fresh mutton suet; and a little bruised alkanet root; and simmer the whole together in an earthen pipkin. Instead of the oil of sweet almonds, you may use oil of jasmin, or oil of any other flower, if you intend the lip-salve to have a fragrant odour.

Little did the ancient Egyptians know that it was potentially poisonous--talk about the kiss of death!Although no self-respecting Egyptian would leave home without it, makeup has not always held an accepted place in society. In fact, it has traveled a bumpy road to acceptance."

Why Lead Free? Safer Drinking Water from Every Faucet American Standard is lead-free* in 2009!Historically, our faucets have used less lead than many of our competitors, thanks to our investment in a low-lead manufacturing technology more than 25 years ago. Now American Standard's new alloy formulation reduces the amount of lead even further by replacing lead with bismuth. This means you still get the same high-quality faucets and mere trace amounts of lead. In fact, our new faucets have less than one quarter of one percent (0.25%) total lead content by weighted average! After all, why should you have to compromise style and quality for safety? How Does It Work? Low-Lead and Lead-Free Technology American Standard's faucets have long used less lead than many of our competitors because of our commitment to brass casting technology - a more expensive but superior technology. We use permanent metal casting molds to create our faucets rather than the less expensive sand castings. These higher-performance metal molds can be preheated so that when the brass alloy is poured, the metal remains in a liquid state longer."

The periodic table is a chart that that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. Phosphorus is part of the nitrogen family along with nitrogen, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth. Phosphorus was first discovered in 1669 by German physician Hennig Brand (ca. 1630-92). Brand is somewhat famous in chemistry. He is sometimes called the last of the alchemists. Alchemy was a kind of pre-science that existed from about 500 B. C. to about the end of the 16th century. Alchemists wanted to find a way of changing lead, iron, and other metals into gold. They also wanted to find a way of having eternal life."

It has the highest resistance to being magnetized of all metals, as well as a high electrical resistance, and is second only to mercury in low thermal conductivity. An extremely stable element, it is believed that 99.9999 percent of the bismuth present at the \"\"birth\"\" of the universe still exists. Sources Elemental bismuth is most commonly found as an ore, with bismuthinite (Bi 2 S 3 ), bismutite ( (Bi O) 2 CO 3 ), and bismite (Bi 2 O 3) being the most common. It also occurs as crystals within sulphide ores of nickel, cobalt, silver, tin, and uranium. The largest deposits of bismuth are found in Bolivia, but Peru, Japan, Mexico, Canada, Japan, England, Norway, and Brazil also have significant natural deposits. Pure bismuth is most commonly produced as a by-product from lead, copper, tin, silver, and gold smelting. Uses Over half of the world's bismuth is used as a metal or in alloys. It is often mixed with lead, tin, or iron to form fusible alloys which melt at low temperatures which are then used as a thermocouple material. Because it does not absorb neutrons readily, melted bismuth is used to carry uranium fuel for nuclear reactors."

Bismuth, a pentavalent post-transition metal and one of the pnictogens, chemically resembles its lighter homologs arsenic and antimony. Elemental bismuth may occur naturally, although its sulfide and oxide form important commercial ores. The free element is 86% as dense as lead. It is a brittle metal with a silvery white color when freshly produced, but surface oxidation can give it a pink tinge. Bismuth is slightly radioactive and the most naturally diamagnetic element, and has one of the lowest values of thermal conductivity among metals. Bismuth metal has been known since ancient times, although it was often confused with lead and tin, which share some physical properties. The etymology is uncertain, but possibly comes from Arabic bi ismid, meaning having the properties of antimony [4] or the German words weiße Masse or Wismuth (\"\"white mass\"\"), translated in the mid-sixteenth century to New Latinbisemutum.

It is a very particular challenge since producers can always rely on their favorite crutch — sugar — when producing Rieslings. After working through over a case of value priced Rieslings, I was becoming a bit discouraged. Then, I hit on a series of wines from Washington State that made me take notice. Washington is often overlooked when it comes to fine wines, though I don’t know where that leaves Michigan and the New York Finger Lakes, who also produced solid entries for this list. It’s undeniable that Washington seems to be emerging as a great source for Riesling, though the marketplace has yet to take proper notice. This means that it remains a land of great values. Dive in and take a look at the complete notes from our value tasting in July 2012. Photo courtesy of J.

It produces lacy foliage and pretty yellow or white flowers, which are followed by the unusual looking, bumpy, orange or green skinned fruits. The cooked fruit and young greens are eaten in China, the Philippines and other parts of Asia cooked in stews and curries. The raw fruit is quite bitter because it contains quinine and must be fully cooked before being eaten. Established bitter melons produce abundant seeds, which are relished by birds in spite of their toxicity. It’s usually very easy to find young seedlings in the vicinity of a mature vine. Find mature melons that have exploded open on the vine, exposing the bright red seeds. Often the discarded skin of the melon will be tangled in the vine or on the ground below the plant. As soon as you notice this, watch the ground near the vine for sprouting seeds. Bitter melon seeds will germinate within 2 to 3 weeks in warm weather."

Generally, the advice given to diabetics is relevant to the general population as well: consume adequate vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, poultry and fish, and less industrial sweets and foods high in fat and salt. It is known that patients who use professional advice and expert dieticians and nutritional supervision have a much better chance to maintain balanced levels of sugar, and avoid the complications of the disease. Diabetics should also keep meals at regular times throughout the day to avoid sharp rises in blood sugar levels. So what are the best foods to control diabetes and add to the menu? There are 12 foods that can help balance blood sugar in your body. These are olive oil, cinnamon, green tea, pulses, green vegetables and oats. These common foods that are already in our kitchen help maintaining adequate blood sugar and prevent diabetes complications: Advertisement1. Olive oil Oil lacks carbohydrates, and therefore does not raise blood sugar levels. In addition, it slows the absorption of foods eaten along with the oil."

"text": "\"Dosage of Bitter Melon for Diabetesby RAE UDDIN Oct. 03, 2017Bitter melon, also known as balsam pear or kerela, is a plant widely cultivated in Asia, Africa and South America. The fruit, seeds, leaves and roots have long been used in traditional remedies, including some for diabetes. While bitter melon's blood-sugar-lowering properties have been demonstrated in the laboratory and in animal studies, research focusing on the complementary use of bitter melon in people with diabetes is limited, and results are inconclusive. More research is needed to establish efficacy, safety, appropriate dosages and potential interactions -- including interactions with antidiabetic medications. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Forms of Bitter Melon Bitter melon is available in many different forms. Fresh melon is often sold in specialty Asian markets and can be eaten as a fruit, made into juice, or consumed as a decoction or tea by boiling pieces of the melon in water. All of these have a very bitter taste, as the melon's name suggests. Alternatively, bitter melon can be purchased as a dietary supplement, in the form of an extract, powder or tincture. Bitter Melon Dosages Suggested dosages for bitter melon vary widely, depending on the source of the information and the form consumed. For example, tincture dosages range from 10 to 50 ml per day, encapsulated dried powder dosages range from 1 g per day to more than 10 times that amount, and standard extract dosages range from 300 to 600 mg per day, according to a paper published in the February 2002 issue of the \"\"Alternative Medicine Review.\"\""

When first picked, a bitter melon is yellow-green, but as it ripens, it turns to a yellow-orange color. It is considered one of the most bitter among all edible vegetables. The young shoots and leaves of the plant may be eaten as greens, and are not particularly bitter. The bitter melon has a distinct warty texture and an oblong shape, about 10 to 20 cm long with bluntly tapering ends. It is most often eaten green, but can also be eaten when it has ripened and turned yellowish or reddish orange. The seeds are white in raw fruits and become red when they are ripe.

Bitter melon is often used in Chinese cooking for its bitter flavor, typically in stir-fries (often with pork and douchi), soups, and also as tea. It is also a popular vegetable in Indian and Pakistani cooking, where it is often prepared with potatoes and served with yogurt on the side to offset the bitterness.

Bitter melon (karela) is a vegetable that is grown in several parts of Asia, East Africa, and South America. In India and China bitter melon has been used to treat diabetes for centuries. How it works According to studies bitter melon probably lowers blood sugar by increasing the activity of enzymes that help in metabolism of glucose (helps to convert glucose or blood sugar into glycogen). Glycogen is stored in liver and used later as required for energy. According to experts, bitter melon can help to lower blood cholesterol as well.

While food contains nutrients and calories that animals need to produce heat and energy, it may also contain harmful parasites, bacteria, or chemicals. To guide food selection, the senses of taste and smell have evolved to alert us to the bitter taste of poisons and the sour taste and off-putting smell of spoiled foods. These sensory systems help people and animals to eat defensively, and they provide the brake that helps them avoid ingesting foods that are harmful. But choices about which foods to eat are motivated by more than avoiding the bad; they are also motivated by seeking the good, such as fat and sugar. However, just as not everyone is equally capable of sensing toxins in food, not everyone is equally enthusiastic about consuming high-fat, high-sugar foods. Genetic studies in humans and experimental animals strongly suggest that the liking of sugar and fat is influenced by genotype; likewise, the abilities to detect bitterness and the malodors of rotting food are highly variable among individuals. Understanding the exact genes and genetic differences that affect food intake may provide important clues in obesity treatment by allowing caregivers to tailor dietary recommendations to the chemosensory landscape of each person.

A substance in cucumbers known as cucurbitacin causes indigestion in some people.

I even make it look fancier here but the way it is served will not degrade its cooling property for curbing the summer heat in our bodies (in Chinese term, 消暑). Yes, this is a healing drink but is both tangy and sweet. However, it does not necessarily need to be chilled in order to achieve the cooling property. The key thing I know is that we have to boil the winter melon with its green skin for maximizing the heat-eliminating effect. And this is a drink that depicts the concept of balancing in Chinese food therapy. Winter melon is a member of gourd and also a cooling food. The dried longan, being a heaty food, not only adds tangy flavor to the drink, but also makes the cooling somewhat moderate.

Although true gourds are rarely used for consumption, some gourds are. The snake gourd ( Trichosanthes cucumerina) is probably the most well-known food gourd, eaten mostly in Asia. Its taste is somewhat bitter, making it unappetizing to most Western palates. The luffa is another well-known gourd, though many people do not realize it is a gourd.

Step 1: Gather the essentials Ingredients: It can take under a week for citrus fruits or strongly flavored ingredients to infuse. Softly flavored or fibrous ingredients such as strawberries, pineapple or fresh ginger, can take between one and two weeks. Infusion Jar: Basic, tall or round glass jars with tightly fitting lids, preferable complete with pouring spouts are the only initial outlay required for your new in-house vodka infusion center. Base Vodka: Choosing a suitable vodka base is key to effective flavor infusion. Rye or potato based vodkas are not conductive to effective flavor and color infusion, as they detract away from the taste you are trying to create. The more times vodka is distilled, the clearner and purer it becomes. So try choosing vodkas that are distilled more than three times. Step 2: Choosing your flavor The choice is almost infinite and stretches as far as your imagination. You can choose between either fresh fruit, or more alternative ingredients."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Bitter melons are seldom mixed with other vegetables due to the strong bitter taste, although this can be moderated to some extent by salting and then washing the cut melon before use. Bitter melon is often used in Chinese cooking for its bitter flavor, typically in stir-fries (often with pork and douchi), soups, and also as tea. It is also a popular vegetable in Indian and Pakistani cooking, where it is often prepared with potatoes and served with yogurt on the side to offset the bitterness. Bitter melon fried in oil and then stuffed with other spicy ingredients is very popular in Andhra Pradesh, a south Indian state. Bitter melon is rarely used in mainland Japan, but is a significant component of Okinawan cuisine. In Vietnam, raw bitter melon slices consumed with dried meat floss and bitter melon soup with shrimps are popular dishes. It is prepared into various dishes in the Philippines, where it is known as ampalaya. Ampalaya may also be stir-fried with ground beef and oyster sauce, or with eggs and diced tomato."

Why is my dog pooping blood? | Source Understanding Bloody Stools in Dogs Seeing blood in your dog's stool can be a frightening event, perhaps because we often associate blood in stool with cancer. Luckily, in dogs the causes are often a lot less dramatic. Of course, as a responsible pet owner, it is always savvy to have the potential causes investigated by a veterinarian in order to rule out the more serious conditions. Blood in stool is medically known as hematochezia or melena depending on whether the blood comes from the dog's lower or upper digestive system, respectively. It's important to recognize the differences between the two as they can mean a difference in your dog's diagnosis. Following are some ways to tell them apart. In hematochezia, the blood in the dog's stool is bright red, meaning it is fresh and most likely deriving from the lower intestines, typically the colon or the rectum."

"text": "\"Purebred Llewellins vs \"\"Llewellin-type\"\" Setters One cannot merely glance at an English Setter (ES) and say definitively that the dog is indeed a “Llewellin” as you can with most other purebred dog breeds. To be a purebred Llewellin, there must be DNA proof, or \"\"Verified Identifiable Parentage\"\" (VIP) of Llewellin lineage showing direct ancestry to Mr. Purcell Llewellin's line of dogs (Duke-Rhoebe-Laverack) with no out-crossings (pairings with anything other than another Llewellin). Proof of Llewellin ancestry is accomplished only through DNA testing of the dog's cheek cells and is done by The American Field (FDSB registry) in conjunction with the UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Lab. To help clear some confusion about pure Llewellins versus \"\"Llewellin-type\"\" setters, check out the illustration on the right. Pure Llewellins must have VIP DNA. They have relatively the same conformation as their field-type English Setter cousins having rounder muzzle, shorter ears, shorter coat with thinner feathers, and narrow spoon shaped feet as compared to bench-type setters, but are smaller in stature. When on point, they should hold their tail out straight from the body at a 10:00 position or higher. ES Field Setters are often referred to as \"\"Llewellin-type\"\", this is because the Llewellin has always been known as a field setter due to their involvement in the upland hunting sport and ES field Setters are also bred for the field (unlike bench setters) and have the same overall conformation but are significantly larger than the Llewellin in stature. Sometimes you'll hear breeders claim that they have \"\"Llewellin-type\"\" English Setters, but more accurately what that really means is they have \"\"field-type\"\" English Setters bred for hunting, which are not actually true Llewellins at all! Just because a dog is a field-type English Setter and is referred to as \"\"Llewellin-type\"\" does not mean that the dog is a purebred Llewellin, the proof is in the DNA!. ES Bench Setters are bred for the show ring rather than the field and have completely different conformation than their field-type cousins."

Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings ⋅ March 19, 2014 ⋅ 63 Comments Filed Under animal rescue, animal welfare, animals, cats, Dogs, pets What does it mean to “rescue” an animal? I’ve pondered this question for quite a while. Merriam Webster defines “ rescue ” as to save (someone or something) from danger or harm. Pretty vague, huh? I think it’s reasonable to say I rescued Malachi. So if I buy a dog from a puppy mill breeder, am I rescuing it? After all, I might have freed the pup from a puppy mill, and that could be dangerous or harmful. But then again, if I don’t buy the dog, someone else most likely will, so it’s no more likely to suffer if I do or don’t. Well some folks think that DOES equal rescue."

A: Quick Answer Dogs nibble their owners for different reasons, which could include an attempt to show dominance, to signal that the dog is hungry or thirsty or to simply show affection. Dogs characteristically adhere to a hierarchy that reflects the structure of a wolf pack, and biting is a way to assert dominance. Continue Reading Keep Learning Why Does My Dog Stare at Me? How Many Dogs Does It Take to Make a Pack? Why Do Dogs Chew on Other Dogs' Ears? Full Answer Puppies learn bite inhibition early on in their development. This means that, through playing with litter mates, puppies learn to associate biting with pain. Once the puppy receives a painful bite from a litter mate, it in turn adjusts its bite to get the desired response from the target. If the puppy wants to dominate another litter mate, it increases the pressure of the bite."

When you remove your finger, the gums should briefly be white but should return to their pink color within two seconds. The appearance of the gums is very informative. If the gums are blue, the dog lacks oxygen. If they are white, the dog has lost blood, either internally or externally. If the gums are purple or gray and there is a slow capillary refill, the dog is probably in shock. If they are bright red, she may be fighting a systemic infection or may have been exposed to a toxin. Some dogs have black-pigmented gums, which can make assessment difficult.

Over the years these slight, elegant dogs have proved themselves to be extremely good at their job becoming a firm favourite with many people throughout the country and elsewhere in the world. Also known as the \"\"Snap Dog\"\", whippets are capable of running very fast with records of them reaching 56 km/h miles when in full flight which in short, means they are superb racing dogs. They are gentle characters by nature and are known to be one of the cleanest dogs around, but with this comes the \"\"hound\"\" in them which in short means that a Whippet would feel the need to chase anything that moves. They thrive on human company and are highly adaptable being just at home in a country house or large castle as they would be living in a smaller house providing there is a very secure back garden for them to safely let off steam as often as possible. They are one of the most popular sporting-type dogs on the planet for these very reasons with Whippets being high on the list of favourite family pets and companions in the UK."

"text": "\"Pets Dogs How much does a newfoundland dog cost? I want a large newfoundland dog and am curious of their price as puppy's. Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In the Midwest, they start at about $1000 but you can occasionally find an older puppy for about $750. The price is higher if you are looking for a show/breeder quality puppy. Just try to find a breeder that has tested the parents hips for dysplasia (which Newfies are very prone to). The parents should have a rating of excellent or good. Any other breed specific health testing is a very good sign that you are dealing with a reputable breeder. Source (s): Vet tech, show and breed French Bulldogsiluvmyfrenchbulldogs · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment The more common black colored Newfoundland runs anywhere from $1200.00 to $1800.00 If you are asking about the Black and White Newfie ( aka Landseer Newfoundland), you can expect to pay a considerable amount more than for the Black variety ( I mean take your breath away~ more !!!) I would suggest that you look on the internet or pick up a dog magazine at your local bookstore/library to see just what sort of a price range there might be, and where they are located in relation to your residence. Shipping of a dog is also something that you have to consider when looking for a Newfie.....rarely is the cost of shipping included in the cost of the dog."

A study has discovered that exposure to LED lights can cause irreparable harm to the retina of the human eye. LED lights have been touted as a super-efficient alternative to traditional bulbs because they use up to 85 per cent less energy and each bulb can last up to 10 years. In April, Philips, the world's biggest lighting maker, reported a 38 per cent jump in LED light sales from last year. A Spanish study has shown that the light emitted by LED bulbs can damage the cells in the retina. Some experts are now calling for a filter to be fitted in the bulbs (file picture)They are already widely used in mobile phones, televisions, computer screens and can also be fitted as a replacement for traditional lighting in the home. LEDs are much more expensive that traditional bulbs - costing around £25 for an equivalent 100w compared to around £1 for an incandescent bulb - although manufacturers claim that consumers make their money back because the use such little energy.

"text": "Ghanaian-British director Amma Asante’s film Belle has taken America by storm and established her as a major talent. It’s a long way from her days on the other side of the camera in Grange Hill…Amma Asante sits at the corner table of a London roof-garden cafe on a bright morning – British-born of Ghanaian parents, she finds herself, as one of our most promising film directors, at a turning point in her career. It is a strange moment for her because, by some serendipitous twist, her first major feature film, Belle (her indie debut, A Way of Life, won her a Bafta in 2005), is about slavery and follows on the heels of Steve Mc Queen’s Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave. An impossible act to follow, you might suppose. Yet the two films could hardly be more different. “I wouldn’t want audiences to come to Belle and think they were about to see ’12 Years a Slave Mark 2’,” Asante says. Based in Britain and rooted in fact, Belle is an extraordinary story, she tells me: Dido Elizabeth Belle (1761-1804) was the daughter of John Lindsay, a British admiral, and an African slave. She grew up in Kenwood House, Hampstead, under the guardianship of Lord Chief Justice Mansfield – her father was Mansfield’s nephew and, contrary to what you would expect of the period, she was raised almost as an equal to his other great niece, Lady Elizabeth Murray. The film – with Tom Wilkinson as Mansfield, Penelope Wilton as Lady Mary Murray and the bewitchingly beautiful Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Belle – pursues the possibility that she influenced her guardian into legal rulings that would eventually lead to the abolition of slavery. It has just opened in the US to a chorus of approval and with the unexpected distinction of beating the new Spider-man at the box office on its opening weekend in most of the cinemas in which it was screened (not to mention encouraging Oprah to tweet about it)."

The researchers zapped clay and a chemical soup with the laser to simulate the energy of a speeding asteroid smashing into the planet. They ended up creating what can be considered crucial pieces of the building blocks of life.+2The Prague Asterix Laser System in Prague. Scientists in a lab used a powerful laser to re-create what could have been the original spark of life on primordial Earth, possibly ignited by a crashing asteroid. HOW THEY DID ITThe scientists used a laser almost 500 feet long that for a fraction of a second zapped the chemical soup with an invisible beam. The power was so intense and concentrated that Civis said that for less than a billionth of a second, it was equivalent to the output of a couple of nuclear power plants. It produced what would be around a billion kilowatts of energy for that sliver of time over a fraction of an inch, generating heat of more than 7,600 degrees Fahrenheit, the researchers said. The findings do not prove that this is how life started on Earth about 4 billion years ago, and some scientists were unimpressed with the results. But the experiment does bolster the long-held theory. ' These findings suggest that the emergence of terrestrial life is not the result of an accident but a direct consequence of the conditions on the primordial Earth and its surroundings,' the researchers concluded in the study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

Xaq Rzetelny - 3/1/2015, 4:30 PMThere once was a time when the existence of black holes was very much in doubt. Even Albert Einstein was an early doubter despite the fact that black holes were predicted using his equations of general relativity—he simply believed nature wouldn’t permit them. At best, Einstein thought black holes might be theoretically possible, but they weren't the sort of thing that would, or even could, ever be observed. Today, that era is long past. Black holes remained theoretical for some time, but they have become a standard feature of astrophysics, a practical reality. While some physical details of black holes are still very much in question, currently a strong scientific consensus exists that black holes are real, and new black holes are regularly discovered. In light of that, things have gotten peculiar recently. Headlines all over the Internet have declared that black holes don’t exist after all—see, for instance, \"\" There are no such thing as black holes \"\"—and some argue their lack of existence has been mathematically proven. The headlines are reporting on a recent paper submitted to ar Xiv, which has not, as of this writing, emerged from peer-review, although it builds on the author’s earlier work which has."

Last month’s ruling by the Public Utilities Commission, which targets the “social cost” of carbon emissions, won’t cost Xcel Energy and its subsidiary, the Public Service Company of Colorado, anything out of pocket, other than some additional number-crunching. And it won’t show up as a charge on the bills that consumers pay each month. But in the next few years, when Xcel next assesses how it plans to meet demand, a new coal-burning plant will be nearly impossible to justify and it will make natural gas turbines less competitive against wind, solar and other power generation sources with zero emissions. These hurdles could also prompt the utility to challenge the formula — but not the concept — the PUC uses to assess carbon’s social cost. “It is more monumental as a statement of belief and direction than it may be in terms of immediate effects,” said Seth Belzley, an attorney with Holland & Knight and director at the Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association, which supported adding a social cost of carbon in the utility planning process. The social cost for carbon, which Black Hills Energy will also face, is what regulators call a “sensitivity” or an attempt to plan for a future but unknown cost. “If you are looking at building a (power) generation asset after 2022, you need to count $43 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions,” Belzley said. That price tag goes up to $69 a ton by 2050."

"text": "\"Cost of Chiropractic Care HPatient Education Chiropractics Costupdated September 6, 2017Chiropractic care can treat a range of conditions, and help you improve your posture, alleviate uncomfortable symptoms, and enhance your overall wellbeing. When compared with other treatment options, it is often a more affordable alternative. However, there are many factors that influence the cost of chiropractic treatment. Below, we explain the considerations that affect the price of chiropractic care so that you can better understand what to expect and budget for your treatment. Overview In general, chiropractic services range from approximately $30 to $200 per session. Of course, each type of treatment has a different cost. For example, an initial consultation with a chiropractor may be provided at no charge, while a typical therapy session costs about $65 on average. More intensive or advanced care will most likely add to the expense of treatment, as will the frequency with which you undergo chiropractic therapy. Generally, chiropractic treatments must be repeated on a regular basis for a certain period of time to become and remain effective for patients. If you decide to pursue chiropractic treatment, your practitioner will provide more information about your expected costs at your first appointment."

"text": "\"Twitter Interview with Drew Deckman Wine has long been made on Mexican land, regional winemaking harking back to the Spanish conquest of the 1500s. But as an industry, Mexican wine is still very much in its infancy. However, understanding the terroir or assigning a definitive identity to the wine is complicated, namely by its newness. Is the nature of its terroir different from the core established wine regions elsewhere, places where their respective identities have developed over hundreds of years? Is there a singularity to so-called Mexican wine that reflects the land and the culture in the same way that terroir does in, say, Burgundy? What does it mean to be Mexican wine? For the last few years, Valle de Guadalupe in Baja, Mexico has been undergoing a boom. Growing from a few small wineries in the nineties to over 100 today, the region has accordingly received a lot of press attention. Last year, Baja featured in the Wine Enthusiast's Travel Issue's Top Wine Getaways of 2014, and has also featured in Food and Wine, The Guardian, and the Economist. But contrary to the popular saying, not all press is good press."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 1:42\"\"It is arguably the biologically richest place,\"\" scientist E. O. Wilson said, describing the importance of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta on a global scale. \"\" The delta floodplain forest and swamp, and the area immediately around it, including the Red Hills to the north, has more species of plants and animals than any comparable area anywhere in North America ... it is a place yet completely unexplored, sort of like the upper Amazon. \"\" The Delta proper is a vast jungle wilderness where dozens of river channels braid together and twist apart, creating hundreds of islands large and small. Those islands and channels are populated with numerous creatures capable of killing a grown man: bears, alligators, bull sharks, bobcats, feral hogs and five species of venomous snakes. There are 300 bird species and an untold variety of insects, amphibians and reptiles. But more than anything, the Delta is the place where all the water running downhill from the rest of the state meets the sea. The drama that unfolds as the rivers hurl their mighty plume of freshwater against the expanse of the Gulf of Mexico is ancient and primal. It is also changeable, with the river system winning the battle part of the year, and the Gulf winning in the other part. The push and pull of saltwater versus freshwater remakes and re-energizes the Delta landscape, and the cast of creatures and plants living off the bounty changes almost weekly."

Mid American Energy Company offers programs through the Energy Advantage initiative. A multitude of prescriptive rebates are available for energy-efficient equipment including lighting, various heating and cooling equipment, motors, variable speed drives, commercial kitchen equipment, building insulation, and windows. In addition to the standard rebates, Mid-American offers custom incentives for 25% of the incremental cost of the equipment or a post-incentive simple payback period equal to 25% of the installed equipment’s estimated useful life (EUL). There are many other energy efficiency incentive programs that may interest federal customers including: The Commercial New Construction program offers incentives to help offset the initial cost of design and installation of energy-efficient options.

He was bought by the family not long before October 23, 2077, as evidenced by the Mr. Handy box in the laundry room of the Sole Survivor's home. He was not granted entry to Vault 111, as claimed by the Vault-Tec rep, and was left behind when the war was announced on television. Codsworth is reunited with the Survivor after 210 years of roaming around Sanctuary Hills, still loyal to his owner. At first, Codsworth seems cheerful and oblivious to what has happened. During the first ten years after the war, Codsworth tried to keep himself busy by doing futile housekeeping work, such as keeping the nuclear fallout-tainted floors waxed, dusting a collapsed house and polishing a rusted car."

The photon has zero rest mass and always moves at the speed of light within a vacuum. Like all elementary particles, photons are currently best explained by quantum mechanics and exhibit wave–particle duality, exhibiting properties of both waves and particles. For example, a single photon may be refracted by a lens and exhibit wave interference with itself, and it can behave as a particle with definite and finite measurable position or momentum, though not both at the same time. The photon's wave and quanta qualities are two observable aspects of a single phenomenon, and cannot be described by any mechanical model; [2] a representation of this dual property of light that assumes certain points on the wavefront to be the seat of the energy is not possible. The quanta in a light wave cannot be spatially localized. The modern concept of the photon was developed gradually by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century to explain experimental observations that did not fit the classical wave model of light. The benefit of the photon model was that it accounted for the frequency dependence of light's energy, and explained the ability of matter and electromagnetic radiation to be in thermal equilibrium."

Whether your bowel movements come too frequently or not often enough, it can make you uncomfortable, bloated, or even interfere with your body's ability to absorb enough nutrients from your food. Staying regular is crucial for staying healthy. It plays a major role in how you feel (physically and emotionally) while removing waste from your body. For such a common bodily function, surprisingly little has been known about how a bowel movement actually occurs, so new research from Canada, which claims to have uncovered the \"\"secret,\"\" is well worth sharing. How You Poop: Secrets Revealed When you eat a meal, the food moves through your intestine by peristalsis. During this movement, your muscles contract and relax, allowing food and liquids to be mixed together and move through your digestive tract. Peristalsis acts much like ocean waves, and helps move fecal matter through your digestive tract for elimination. Another type of movement, segmentation, occurs mostly in your large and small intestines and is thought to facilitate absorption of nutrients. How segmentation works has remained a mystery, but it had been theorized that alternate excitation and inhibition from the enteric nervous system was responsible."

"text": "Why Does My Dog Have Diarrhea and What Causes it? Has your dog had loose stools lately? Are new dog treats causing loose stools or is it something more? Ever wonder what causes your dog to have diarrhea? This article is going to discuss and explain diarrhea, the difference between “normal” poop and diarrhea, what’s causing your dog to have diarrhea, and how to prevent diarrhea for your dog. What is Diarrhea? Diarrhea is defined as loose, unformed stools occurring three or more times throughout one day. If your dog even has just one episode of loose stools then technically it is not considered diarrhea. Instead it is considered a loose bowel movement. But, whether or not your dog has diarrhea or just one loose bowel movement, it is proof that your dog’s digestive system may be unhappy."

Excerpt:“I knew that causing a campaign contribution to be made in the name of another was wrong and something the law forbids,” D’Souza, 53, told U. S. District Judge Berman on Tuesday. “ I deeply regret my conduct. ”Prosecutors said D’Souza asked two friends and their spouses to contribute $10,000 each to Long’s campaign and then reimbursed them. At the time, campaign finance regulations limited individual donations to a maximum of $5,000 during an election cycle. One of the friends was Denise Joseph, who was engaged to D’Souza while he was still married to another woman. D’Souza resigned as president of King’s College, a small Christian school in New York City, after the media revealed his relationship with Joseph in 2012. A sad end to a once-brilliant career. The story goes on to say that “some conservatives” denounced the case against D’Souza as an instance of selective prosecution, going after him for a relatively minor offense as punishment for his scathing anti-Obama books. The Washington Times editorialized: The Justice Department that would imprison Mr. D’Souza for two years for giving unfair advantage to a friend’s political campaign declined to prosecute members of the New Black Panther Party for threatening white voters with nightsticks at a Philadelphia polling place in 2008."

"text": "Landlord and tenant Categories: Landlord & tenant The purpose of this Law Online guide is to provide the reader with a comprehensive look at the different aspects of landlord and tenant law. The guide highlights the various situations where a relationship of landlord and tenant exists and the rights and obligations arising from such a relationship. In addition it also discusses the issue of disputes and how the different types of tenancies may be terminated including, for example, on account of rent arrears. HOW TO SET UP A TENANCYBefore setting up the tenancy agreement, it is important to remember that there are different types of tenancy arrangements for letting your property to a tenant. There are two broad categories (though other forms of tenancies exists which are not so common) as follows: Tenancy for a fixed term: This is a tenancy created for any fixed term length of time. Tenancy from year-to-year or other periodic tenancy: The duration of a periodic tenancy is not specified. A periodic tenancy can be a tenancy from year-to-year or a tenancy for successive periods, such as a monthly or weekly tenancy. In these types of tenancies, each period is automatically renewed and the tenancy will continue indefinitely after the initial period has ended, until the tenancy is eventually terminated. For example, a tenancy under which rent is paid weekly is deemed to be a weekly tenancy, and if paid monthly it would be considered a monthly tenancy etc.. Irrespective, however, of whether or not the tenancy is fixed or periodic all tenancies become, what is called, a Part 4 tenancy once the tenant is in occupation for more than six months. ‘ Part Four’ refers to the relevant section of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 and is concerned with security of tenure for the tenant and the circumstances under which a tenancy can be terminated."

"text": "Coerced Confessions / Police Interrogation5-06-2012, 06:38 Sergey Tokarev 6182 0 Comments Confessions are deemed the ‘‘gold standard’’ that assure convictions. The majority of confessions are garnered through an interrogation process. Detainees rarely spontaneously confess. Promises, inducements, and sometimes coercion are used by law enforcement officers to obtain confessions. For confessions to withstand legal scrutiny, they must be trustworthy and free and voluntary in nature. However, trustworthiness was the lynchpin for determining whether a confession would be excluded. In the first reported case challenging a coerced confession, Commonwealth v. Dillon, the court’s major concern was not the fact that the twelve-year-old defendant was deprived of food or clothing for three days but that he voluntarily made his confession. At the time of Commonwealth v. Dillon (1792), no constitutional basis existed to challenge a coerced confession. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments would give the federal government greater power to review state actions. Law enforcement has developed sophisticated methods of interrogation that disarm or put at ease detainees."

Click Here For A Business Property Insurance Quote or Call Us Toll Free 1-866-287-0448What does total insured value mean is a common question our Canadian insurance brokers are asked on a regular basis. Since the insurance industry is full of acronyms and jargon it’s important to ask your business insurance broker questions like “What does total insured value mean?” and any others you may have about your business insurance so you fully understand how your commercial insurance policy works. In addition, it’s important to note that some commercial insurance terms are defined terms and need to interpreted in accordance with the exact definition provided in the insurance policy itself. For clarity on any or all insurance terms speak to an ALIGNED Insurance broker or review our insurance glossary of terms for common definitions of commercial insurance terms. The Answer To “What Does Total Insured Value Mean?”Total insured value is a term used to explain the total amount of insurance available in a single loss on a commercial property policy. Total insured value is typically calculated by adding the property value, business interruption value and the value of any/all other property at the location . It’s typically used and found in larger commercial property insurance policies and can be calculated on a single location basis or can be calculated over a number of locations. For blanket commercial property insurance policies the total insured value is often used to establish the limit of liability for the policy based on the location with the largest total insured value which becomes the limit available and across all locations."

The Trump administration is proposing changes to the way such pollutants may be regulated. Photograph by Kena Betancur, VIEWpress, Corbis via Getty Images The Trump administration’s tumultuous first year has brought a flurry of changes—both realized and anticipated—to U. S. environmental policy. Many of the actions roll back Obama-era policies that aimed to curb climate change and limit environmental pollution, while others threaten to limit federal funding for science and the environment. It’s a lot to keep track of, so National Geographic will be maintaining an abbreviated timeline of the Trump administration’s environmental actions and policy changes, as well as reactions to them. We will update this article periodically as news develops. Editor's Note: This story was originally published on March 31, 2017, and was last updated on April 6, 2018. Threatened Species Protection Rule Under Review April 2, 2018The White House is currently reviewing a regulation that some environmental groups fear could nix protections granted to nearly 300 threatened species.

This can account for unnecessary consumption. The compact geyser timer is designed to work to reduce the on time of the geyser through the day and only have it come on when required.

The idyllic vision of country life that characterizes Renaissance pastoral poetry speaks about a longing for a closer relationship with nature. Why do you think humans long for a deeper relationship with nature? Do you think the feeling is still common today? If it is, how is it similar to and different from the sentiments that brought about pastoral poetry?"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrockby T. S. Eliot First published in June 1915 issue of Poetry [2]Country United States Language English Publisher magazine (1915): Harriet Monroe chapbook (1917): The Egoist, Ltd. (London) [1]Lines 140Pages 6 (1915 printing) [2] 8 (1917 printing) [1]Read online The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock at Wikisource\"\" The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock \"\", commonly known as \"\" Prufrock \"\", is the first professionally published poem by American-British poet T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). Eliot began writing \"\"Prufrock\"\" in February 1910, and it was first published in the June 1915 issue of Poetry: A Magazine of Verse [2] at the instigation of Ezra Pound (1885–1972). It was later printed as part of a twelve-poem pamphlet (or chapbook) titled Prufrock and Other Observations in 1917. [ 1] At the time of its publication, Prufrock was considered outlandish, [3] but is now seen as heralding a paradigmatic cultural shift from late 19th-century Romantic verse and Georgian lyrics to Modernism. The poem's structure was heavily influenced by Eliot's extensive reading of Dante Alighieri [4] and makes several references to the Bible and other literary works—including William Shakespeare 's plays Henry IV Part II, Twelfth Night, and Hamlet, the poetry of seventeenth-century metaphysical poet Andrew Marvell, and the nineteenth-century French Symbolists. Eliot narrates the experience of Prufrock using the stream of consciousness technique developed by his fellow Modernist writers. The poem, described as a \"\"drama of literary anguish\"\", is a dramatic interior monologue of an urban man, stricken with feelings of isolation and an incapability for decisive action that is said \"\"to epitomize frustration and impotence of the modern individual\"\" and \"\"represent thwarted desires and modern disillusionment\"\". [ 5]Prufrock laments his physical and intellectual inertia, the lost opportunities in his life and lack of spiritual progress, and he is haunted by reminders of unattained carnal love. With visceral feelings of weariness, regret, embarrassment, longing, emasculation, sexual frustration, a sense of decay, and an awareness of mortality, \"\"Prufrock\"\" has become one of the most recognised voices in modern literature.

"text": "CHAPTER VIWAR PROPAGANDAIn watching the course of political events I was always struck by the active part which propaganda played in them. I saw that it was an instrument, which the Marxist Socialists knew how to handle in a masterly way and how to put it to practical uses. Thus I soon came to realize that the right use of propaganda was an art in itself and that this art was practically unknown to our bourgeois parties. The Christian-Socialist Party alone, especially in Lueger’s time, showed a certain efficiency in the employment of this instrument and owed much of their success to it. It was during the War, however, that we had the best chance of estimating the tremendous results which could be obtained by a propagandist system properly carried out. Here again, unfortunately, everything was left to the other side, the work done on our side being worse than insignificant. It was the total failure of the whole German system of information – a failure which was perfectly obvious to every soldier – that urged me to consider the problem of propaganda in a comprehensive way. I had ample opportunity to learn a practical lesson in this matter; for unfortunately it was only too well taught us by the enemy. The lack on our side was exploited by the enemy in such an efficient manner that one could say it showed itself as a real work of genius. In that propaganda carried on by the enemy I found admirable sources of instruction."

"text": "\"Implementation Defined Implementation is defined as a specified set of activities designed to put into practice an activity or program of known dimensions. According to this definition, implementation processes are purposeful and are described in sufficient detail such that independent observers can detect the presence and strength of the \"\"specific set of activities\"\" related to implementation. In addition, the activity or program being implemented is described in sufficient detail so that independent observers can detect its presence and strength. It is common to read about \"\"implementation\"\" of a program or practice as if it were an accomplished fact when the context of the statement makes it clear that some process (more or less clearly described) had been put in place to attempt the implementation of that program or practice. When faced with the realities of human services, implementation outcomes should not be assumed any more than intervention outcomes are assumed. When thinking about implementation the observer must be aware of two sets of activities (intervention-level activity and implementation-level activity) and two sets of outcomes (intervention outcomes and implementation outcomes). A formula for successful uses of evidence-based programs in typical human service settings can be characterized as: The formula for success involves multiplication. If any component is weak then the intended outcomes will not be achieved, sustained, or used on a socially significant scale. Like a serum and a syringe, innovations are one thing and implementation is something else entirely different. Doing more research on a serum will not produce a better syringe; doing more research on an innovation will not produce better implementation methods."

"text": "\"Celebrating tradition through Martisoare on the vibrant streets of Bucharest From the end-February until the first week of March, Bucharest is home to several 'Martisor'-themed street fairs. Let's get celebrating with the tradition of Martisoare!Published by Alexa on 09/03/2016- This article was written by us in partnership with our friends of Interesting Times Bureau -“Martisor” is a Romanian tradition celebrated on the 1st of March - declaring the arrival of spring - and heralding optimism and joy. On this day, women receive small gifts, all having in common the red & white traditional string. While the string may be offered on its own or accompanied by a flower, during the last decades, jewelry or other small objects started to be attached to it. This opened a whole new universe for artisanal design: artists, from the most traditional to the most modern, started reinterpreting the tradition, giving it different flavours and personalising it according to trends and own perceptions of the tradition. And so, from end-February until the first week of March, Bucharest is home to several “Martisor”-themed street fairs — from small, street corner ones to “spend-half-a-day-trying-to-decide” ones. The city’s face changes to a very colored, vibrant and festive one. The biggest, most important such fair, held at Muzeul Taranului Roman (The Museum of the Romanian Peasant) gathers artists that reshape the face of “Martisor” each year. We talked to Andra and Tudor, the people behind Lovemade, one of the indie brands present at the fair:“Back in the day — in the 70s and 80s — when our parents used to design Martisoare, chimney sweeps and trefoils were extremely popular symbols: indications for spring cleaning or good luck charms. Meanwhile, times have changed and our daily lives have become increasingly urban."

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

Answer by Handy Dan Confidence votes 118The two quickest methods to remove paint from metal are, the use of heat, and chemical strippers. A propane torch or heat gun will soften the paint so that it can easily be scraped off. This may generate toxic fumes, though, and should be done outside or with a respirator. There is also a risk of injury due to the heated metal. Chemical strippers are available on the market for removing paint from metal as well. The active ingredient in many such products is methylene chloride, which is very toxic and should be used with caution in a well ventilated area. There are also paint strippers that do not contain dangerous methylene chloride and work extremely well. Peel Away 7 or Smart Strip Paint Remover are the best to remove paint from metal especially if there are multiple layers of old paint."

Just months after Kentucky Fried Chicken introduced former Saturday Night Live player Darrell Hammond as its new Col. Sanders, the chain has swapped in fellow SNL veteran Norm Macdonald as its latest white-suited, bespectacled purveyor of crispy yardbird. Putting a self-referential spin on the changing of the guard, a new batch of ads play up the notion that Hammond’s colonel was actually an impostor. One of the spots opens with the new Col. Sanders watching his predecessor on TV and insisting, “I’m the real Col. Sanders — and this is how you sell chicken. ”When Hammond took up the Sanders mantle back in May, KFC touted his talents as an impersonator. Macdonald, on the other hand, seems to have been selected for his, well, Norm Macdonald-ness. “Other than not quite looking like him, his voice being different, and his inability to cook the world’s best chicken, we thought Norm was the perfect choice to play the Real Colonel,” said Kevin Hochman, KFC’s chief marketing officer, in a statement."

Siblings fan out from there. For the one of both parent sets, put the two moms on the bride's side and two dads on the groom's side. This one works if one or the other has remarried too.

Tourist season is at its peak, and even blase natives start to really see the city again, perhaps inspired by the infectious enthusiasm brought by out-of-towners. If you're looking for a taste of the Paris you've seen portrayed in countless Hollywood films, then visiting at this time of year may be the perfect choice for you. If you dislike crowds and want some of the city to yourself, however, you may want to look into visiting at a quieter time. Why to Love It: May is a great time to enjoy the city's many beautiful Paris parks and gardens, read or discuss life's meanderings on a cafe terrace, or do some relaxed, entirely uncommitted window-gazing in Paris' best places to shop. May in Paris is also perfect for exploring the city with someone special, so be sure to check out ...

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Greenhouse effect schematic showing energy flows between space, the atmosphere, and Earth's surface. Energy influx and emittance are expressed in watts per square meter (W/m 2 ). A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. [ 1] The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature of Earth's surface would be about −18 °C (0 °F), [2] rather than the present average of 15 °C (59 °F). [ 3] [4] [5] In the Solar System, the atmospheres of Venus, Mars and Titan also contain gases that cause a greenhouse effect. Human activities since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (around 1750) have produced a 40% increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), from 280 ppm in 1750 to 406 ppm in early 2017. [ 6] This increase has occurred despite the uptake of more than half of the emissions by various natural \"\"sinks\"\" involved in the carbon cycle. [ 7] [8] The vast majority of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions (i.e., emissions produced by human activities) come from combustion of fossil fuels, principally coal, oil, and natural gas, with comparatively modest additional contributions coming from deforestation, changes in land use, soil erosion, and agriculture.

Two candles are blessed, held slightly open, and pressed against the throat as the blessing is said. The legend of St. Blaise tells us that he was born into a rich and noble family who raised him as a Christian. He became a bishop in Sebaste, Armenia in the early fourth century. Not much is known about him, but there are many legends and stories that tell us what the times were like. It was a time of persecution for the Catholic Church. The Roman empire was trying to get rid of the Christians. In 316, the Roman Emperor Licinius withdrew from his position of tolerating Christians, and started again to persecute them. Many faithful were martyred because they would not give up their love and faith in Jesus Christ. After this edict had been promulgated, Blaise, counseled by God, fled to the mountains and lived in a cave."

By Rosemary Peters; Updated April 24, 2017Litmus paper is red, litmus paper is blue, put these papers in a liquid or a gas and its hydrogen ion concentration will shine true. Litmus paper, or p H paper, is a tool that scientists use to discover whether a liquid or gas is an acid or a base. You can use litmus paper to see whether bleach is an acid or a base by examining what color the paper turns.p H Scale The p H scale is a test of the hydrogen ion concentration of a liquid or a gas. A neutral solution sits around a 7 on the p H scale. Anything between 0 and 7 is considered an acid and anything between 7 and 14 is considered a base. The Litmus Test The small, rectangular, red or blue paper strips of litmus paper are chemically treated so that they change color under certain conditions. For example, if a red piece of litmus paper is put in a base, it will turn blue. On the other hand, a blue piece of litmus paper put in an acid will turn red. If you have a gas or a liquid with a neutral p H level, neither the red nor blue litmus paper will change color when introduced to the substance in question."

( a) Chemical reaction of iron nail with copper sulphate solution in water. THEORY Iron displaces copper ions from an aqueous solution of copper sulphate. It is a single displacement reaction of one metal by another metal. Iron is placed above copper in the activity series. Elements placed above in this series are more reactive than those placed below them. Thus iron is more reactive than copper. In this reaction, metallic iron is converted into ferrous ion (Fe2+) and cupric ion (Cu2 +) is converted into metallic copper. Fe (s) + Cu 2 + (aq) ⎯→ Fe2+ (aq) + Cu (s).

A variety of maintenance chemicals contain these compounds. For instance, hydrochloric, phosphoric and citric are acids used to make mineral stain removers, toilet bowl cleaners, metal cleaners and rust removers. Alkali maintenance chemicals like degreasers, oven cleaners and drain openers contain bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium metasilicate, trisodium phosphate and ammonium hydroxide. Special salts like sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium EDTA and ammonium ethoxysulfate are formulated into carpet shampoos, hand soaps and carwash detergents to provide more efficient cleaning. Acids, bases and salts contain ions of the element hydrogen. Ions are atoms or molecules that have lost or gained electrons. If atoms lose one or more electrons they become positively charged ions (cations). If they gain one or more electrons, they become negatively charged ions (anions). It is the presence of the hydrogen ions in solutions that allows us to measure the p H of a solution."

Date of creation: 9/30/11 Phenolphthalein can be used to indicate if a liquid is an acid or a base. There are other things it can be used in like dyes and invisible ink. It can be a powder or a liquid, but can only be used as a liquid (adding water to the powder makes it able to be used as an indicator) Phenolphthalein changes color from colorless to bright pink, which starts in a p H of 8 (colorless in acids and pink in bases). The process that the phenolphthalein undergoes during this color transition is called ionization. This is when an ion is added to or removed from a molecule it can change the molecule into an ion, depending on if the ions are positive or negatively charged. Phenolphthalein has positively charged hydrogen ions. The reason phenolphthalein changes color is because although the phenolphthalein molecules are colorless, when they are mixed with an alkaline solution the molecules convert into ions and phenolphthalein ions are bright pink. The higher on the p H scale the substance is, the darker the pink color will be because more ions will be removed."

Many of these make use of the p H scale, developed by Danish chemist SØren SØrensen (1868-1939) in 1909. The term p H stands for \"\"potential of hydrogen,\"\" and the p H scale is a means of determining the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. ( Though, as noted, the term \"\"alkali\"\" has been replaced by \"\"base,\"\" alkalinity is still used as an adjectival term to indicate the degree to which a substance displays the properties of a base.) There are theoretically no limits to the range of the p H scale, but figures for acidity and alkalinity are usually given with numerical values between 0 and 14. THE MEANING OF p H VALUES. A rating of 0 on the p H scale indicates a substance that is virtually pure acid, while a 14 rating represents a nearly pure base. A rating of 7 indicates a neutral substance. The p H scale is logarithmic, or exponential, meaning that the numbers represent exponents, and thus an increased value of 1 represents not a simple arithmetic addition of 1, but an increase of 1 power. This, however, needs a little further explanation."

Adding water to concentrated sulphuric acid is hazardous because the reaction is highly exothermic, so concentrated sulphuric acid should be diluted by adding a small amount of the concentrated acid to a lot of water.know that sulfur is the internationally accepted spelling and sulphuric acid can be called sulfuric acid How can acids and alkalis be identified and distinguished from each other?how to extract the dyes from plant materials and that acids and alkalis can change the colours of some of these natural dyes and that this can be used to classify them eg from red cabbage, raw beetroot, blackcurrant, litmus,to test and classify solutions as acidic, neutral or alkaline, using indicatorscompare the results with different dyes and establish that there are two classes of solution and that the dyes can indicate which is whichrecognise that solutions of dyes which show one 'indicator' colour in acids and another in alkalis are called indicatorsrecall the names of some common laboratory acids eg hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, sodium hydroxide, and alkalis e.g. sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide Is there a range of acidity and alkalinity?universal indicator gives a range of colours in acidic and alkaline solutions (typically from p H 0-14)that p H numbers indicate how acidic or alkaline a solution isthat neutral solutions are p H 7, acidic solutions are below p H 7 and alkaline solutions are above p H 7the p H of a solution can be got from an appropriate colour chart eg when using universal indicatorclassify the solution as strongly/weakly, acidic/alkaline, or neutralrelate their classification to the use of the acid or alkali and associated hazards At this stage, p H can be used to describe strongly or weakly acidic or alkaline solutions.predict the effect on p H of making an acid more dilute or more concentrated and how this would affect its corrosiveness. When diluted, acids still give a p H <7, but when diluted the p H will rise since the solution would be less strongly acidic. What happens when an acid is added to an alkali?the uses of acids and alkalis in a range of everyday situations, eg hair and skin care, treatment of stings and bites, treatment of indigestion, food preservation, treatment of soil.how living things use acids, eg ants, nettles, humans in digestion.identify and note key points about the range of p H used and potential harmful effects,that a neutral solution can be obtained by adding an acid to an alkali in the right proportionsthe changes in p H when a solution of an acid is added drop by drop to a solution of an alkalidescribe that when an acid is added to an alkali, the p H of the mixture falls as it become neutraliseddescribe that when an alkali is added to an acid, the p H of the mixture increases as it become neutralisedexplain how to obtain a neutral solution of about p H7 by mixing an acid and an alkalidescribe with a graph the way p H changes as more alkali is addedinvestigate changes in temperature during neutralisation and be introduced to the idea that a chemical reaction is taking placeneutralisation is exothermic, which means heat is given out, so the temperature rises.

"text": "\"Home »Chemistry Common Acid Base Indicators By Justin Schamotta; Updated April 24, 2017Indicators are large organic molecules used in chemistry to determine a substance’s p H. They change to different colors depending on whether they are added to an acid, a base (also known as an alkali) or a neutral substance. Most indicators are themselves weak acids and respond to changes in the hydrogen ion concentration. Litmus The most common of all indicators is litmus paper. Litmus paper works by absorbing solutions and changing color according to their relative p H. Below p H 4.5, the paper turns red. Above p H 8.2, the paper turns blue. Deep reds and deep blues therefore indicate solutions that are, respectively, strongly acid and strongly alkali. Litmus paper turns purple when exposed to a neutral solution. Litmus itself is a weak acid. Phenolphthalein Phenolphthalein is a colorless, weak acid that is commonly used as an indicator in titration experiments to signal the completion of reactions between acids and bases. It dissociates in water to form pink anions."

It helps us to understand the outcomes of using them in daily life. Let see the different acids and bases. Sub Topics Acids and Bases in the Laboratory Acids and Bases in the Laboratory Back to Top Some common acids that are found in laboratories are Hydrochloric acid (HCl), Sulphuric acid (H 2SO 4) and Nitric acid (HNO 3). Some of the lesser used acids are Acetic acid (CH 3COOH), Hydrofluoric acid (HF), Carbonic acid (H 2CO 3). Hydrofluoric acid is a highly corrosive acid and is used to etch glass. Some acids are found in nature, like citric acid in certain fruits. These acids are called 'organic acids'. Examples are: Citric acid (from citrus fruits and vegetables,)Ascorbic acid (vitamin C, as from certain fruits)Acetic acid (Vinegar)Lactic acid (in buttermilk)Tartaric acid (Tamarind)Oxalic acid (Tomatoes)Commonly found bases in laboratories and in our daily life are: Caustic soda, Na OH; Caustic potash, KOH; Milk of magnesia, Mg (OH) 2; Liquor ammonia, NH 3; Washing powder, Tooth paste.

"text": "\"Cancer Colon Cancer Symptoms How to Read Bloody Stools and Changes in Stool Color Color gives you clues as to cause and origin of bleeding By Suzanne Dixon, MPH, RD | Reviewed by Emmy Ludwig, MDUpdated October 06, 2017Share Pin Email Print Sebastian Kopp / Eye Em / Getty Images If you see blood in stools, your first instinct may be to ignore it and wait for it to go away. This is particularly true if the bleeding seems incidental. And, while you may be right and everything is perfectly fine, it is important that you take the time to look and assess what is actually happening. The very appearance of a stool can give you pretty strong clues as to the cause and origin of any bleeding. What Stool Color Tells Us Bloody stools often are a sign of a problem in the digestive tract, originating at any point on the journey from the mouth to the rectum. Coloration plays a huge part in pinpointing where the problem is and can generally be interpreted as follows: Darker stools suggest that the bleeding has taken place higher up in the gastrointestinal tract. As the stool slowly moves through the small and large intestines, any collected blood has time to coagulate and darken. Melena is the term used to describe black, tarry stools. Brighter, redder stools suggest that the bleeding is at the lower end of the gastrointestinal tract as the blood is fresh. Hematochezia is the term that refers to the passage of blood by the anus whether directly or on stools."

Although changes in stool color or texture may be normal, most changes should be evaluated. The symptoms associated with stool color changes, if any, are the symptoms of the underlying cause of the change, for example, foods, drinks, or illnesses such as: Diet (beets, diets rich in green vegetables, licorice)Bismuth (for example, Pepto-Bismol)Gallbladder disease Celiac disease Ulcerative colitis Crohn's disease Tumors Diverticular disease Cancers Hemorrhoids Changes in stool color may be due to diarrhea; bleeding in the intestine; diseases of the intestines, liver, or pancreas; and medications Green stool or poop is a common stool color change. It may be due to bile pigment in the stool because diarrhea moves food too quickly thorough the intestine so the intestinal chemicals and bacteria can't break down the bile pigment to its normal brown color, or the green color may be due to certain foods like green, leafy vegetables or green food coloring. Red or black colored stool may be a sign of bleeding in the GI tract (from the esophagus, stomach, small intestine or colon) and should not be ignored. When stool color changes, what tests need to be done depends upon what cause is suspected for the stool color change. For example, gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy may be required to evaluate red or black stools if bleeding is suspected. The treatment for stool color changes is the treatment of the underlying cause.

Black stool is a condition in which the feces are very dark or black. Black stool may be normal in some cases and caused by ingesting certain substances or medications, such as iron supplements. Several ingested substances can change the color of stool. Iron and bismuth-containing medications, for example, Pepto Bismol, turn the stool black. Food dyes used for coloring foods also may color the stool. However, black stool can also be caused by a serious condition, such as bleeding in the digestive tract caused by a peptic ulcer."

"text": "Black or Tarry Stools from Cancer vs. from Food or Drugs Find out just what “tarry” stools look like when compared to black BMs from benign causes like food or medications. How often have you read a pamphlet or online article about colon cancer and came upon the term, “tarry stools”? Tar? Have you even ever seen hot tar? The reason that black stools are often referred to as “tarry” is because, says Michael Blume, MD, “Black stools from bleeding actually have a somewhat sticky appearance, much like tar, while this is often not the case if it is from foods or medications. ”Dr. Blume is a gastroenterologist at Med Star Good Samaritan Hospital, Baltimore. “Tarry stools is a term that describes the appearance of the stool, where it looks sticky like tar.” Think back to a time when, perhaps, you saw what tar looked like on a sidewalk before it dried. Now, imagine that being mixed in with your BMs."

The exact stool color varies from person to person, but it also may change from stool to stool in the same person. Stool color is influenced by what you eat as well as by the amount of bile (a yellow-green fluid that helps digest fats) in the stool. As bile pigments travel through your gastrointestinal tract, enzymes chemically alter the pigments from green to brown. [ 1] Changes in the color of your stool don’t have to indicate a disorder. For example, food can have a huge impact on the color of your stool: if you eat black licorice, iron pills, bismuth medicines, or blueberries, you may have black stools. Beets and tomatoes can influence stool color and cause it to appear reddish. Bloody Or Tarry Stool Bloody stools often indicate an injury or disorder in the digestive tract. There is a big difference between stool filled with fresh blood and stool that is black due to blood in it. Melena is a term used to describe black, tarry, and foul-smelling stools. ["

"text": "Blood in Stool: What Does it Mean?by Unity Point Clinic - August 11, 2014Whether you discover blood after wiping or from a fecal test ordered by your doctor, finding blood in your stool can be scary. While bloody stool can be a symptom associated with several serious medical conditions, this usually isn’t the case. Regardless, if you find blood in your stool you should seek advice from a health care provider to determine the cause and treatment options. What are the Causes of Blood in Stool? Bloody stool is a sign that there is bleeding somewhere along the digestive tract. The blood can range in color from bright red to maroon, and it can even appear tarry and black if the bleeding is occurring higher up in the digestive tract. Some of the more common, less-serious causes of bloody stool include: Hemorrhoids – Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels found in the rectum or anus that can be itchy, painful and sometimes bleed. Those who suffer from hemorrhoids may notice bright red blood either in the toilet or coating the stool after a bowel movement. Anal Fissures – An anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, which can cause bleeding and the sensation of ripping, tearing or burning after a bowel movement. Peptic Ulcers – A peptic ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the stomach, upper end of the small intestine or duodenum caused by a bacterial infection."

"text": "Evidence on: The Vitamin K Shot in Newbornsby Rebecca Dekker | Mar 9, 2016 | Evidence based practice, Signature Articles Click Here to get your Free Video Series and Handout!Vitamin K deficiency bleeding, thought to be a problem of the past—has been recently thrust back into the spotlight. In 2013, six infants were admitted to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, with life-threatening bleeding. The infants were diagnosed with late Vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB)—four of the infants had bleeding in the brain, and two had bleeding in the intestines. Although the six infants survived, two required emergency brain surgery to save their lives, one has severe brain damage (a stroke with right-sided paralysis and severe cognitive delays), and two have mild to moderate brain injuries ( Schulte et al, 2014 ).

"text": "What Is Spotting and What Does Spotting Look Like? By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health Spotting is light bleeding that can look like the start of your regular menstrual period but happens before or after your period. Although you may be worried about light vaginal bleeding between your monthly periods, there usually isn’t anything to worry about. Spotting looks like small dark brown spots or light pink marks on your underwear which makes it possible to tell apart from regular menstrual bleeding. Some occasional light spotting between your periods is viewed as normal and can be caused by stress, using birth control, or even a sign that ovulation has occurred. In fact, implantation spotting before your period is due could be a sign that you are pregnant. However, there are some conditions where vaginal spotting when you don’t have your period can be a cause for concern. Uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, infections, and cancer can cause light to heavy vaginal bleeding and may be associated with abdominal pain, fever, and pain during bowel movements. Some spotting can occur during pregnancy and you should always speak to your doctor or obstetrician about the bleeding. Advertisement In this article, you will learn about what spotting looks like and how to tell the difference between period bleeding and spotting."

If completed, the Dakota Access pipeline would carry about 500,000 barrels of crude per day from North Dakota’s Bakken oil field to Illinois, where it would meet up with an existing pipeline that would carry the oil all the way down to Texas. The pipeline has faced months of resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and members of nearly 100 more tribes from across the U. S. and Canada. On Friday, lawyers for the tribe filed documents showing how the very land where Dakota Access would bulldoze on Saturday was, in fact, a tribal burial site.

"text": "Dec 16, 2015“Monkey Wrench” a Derogatory Term for Inventor Jack Johnson-Fiction!- Fiction!Summary of e Rumor:“Monkey wrench” is a derogatory term meant to insult the African heritage of the tool’s inventor, Jack Johnson. The Truth: The term “monkey wrench” is not a derogatory slight to Jack Johnson. Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight boxing champion did, however, patent improvements to the “double acting wrench” in April 1922. In his patent application, Johnson explained the improvements to the tool commonly known as the monkey wrench as such: My invention relates to improvements in wrenches and has for its object to provide an improved wrench, which is of simple and durable construction, reliable in operation and easy and inexpensive to manufacture, which may be easily and readily adjusted and which is adapted-to exert a powerful gripping action upon the work. Another objective is to provide an improved wrench of this character which in assembly presents a substantially unitary structure and which may be easily dissembled for purposes of replacement or repair. Monkey wrenches had been in use long before Jack Johnson filed that patent, and there are a number of theories about how the term “monkey wrench” came to be. The term seems to have carried different meanings at different points in history, but the idea it was ever a derogatory reference to Jack Johnson’s African-American heritage is false. A Baltimore mechanic named Charles Moncky invented the monkey wrench around 1858. The tool was originally named by using a “purposeful misspelling” of its inventor’s name, according to the Ferris State University Jim Crow Museum. A number of patents filed in the years that followed made improvements to the wrench, and it became commonly used for steam locomotives and railroad car repair work."

"text": "Nutrition: parenteral Parenteral nutrition (PN) is the administration of nutrition directly into the bloodstream. It is the method of providing nutrition to children who have intestinal failure. Parenteral nutrition may either provide the child’s full nutritional requirements or more frequently just part, when it is not possible to give the full requirements enterally. Parenteral nutrition is invasive, has associated risks and should only be used when there is no alternative method of feeding available. Assessment for PNPN may be required for these conditions:prematuritynecrotising enterocolitisacute pancreatitis (enteral feeds are usually recommended)intestinal failure secondary to:short bowel syndromeprotracted diarrhoeachronic intestinal pseudo-obstructionpost-operative abdominal surgeryradiation/cytotoxic therapyhyper-catabolism:extensive burnssevere trauma (209.14 KB)No patient should have PN unless a request form is completed ( see Appendix 1 ). PN needs to be requested by 10.30am for a tailormade bespoke bag to be provided. PN is compounded by pharmacy staff in a laminar airflow cabinet under clean room conditions. The solutions are prepared individually for each child depending on weight, height, clinical condition and the intravenous route available. Feeding regimens are built up over two to four days during which time the protein, fat and carbohydrate content are increased. In certain circumstances, a standard bag will be used, e.g. when PN is initiated after 10.30am on a weekday or if ordered at the weekend or when the number of PN bags needed exceeds pharmacy capacity."

If you have not read our article on IP addresses and need a brush up, you can find the article here. If you understand the concepts of IP addresses, then lets move on to TCP and UDP ports and how they work. The devices and comptuers connected to the Internet use a protocol called TCP/IP to communicate with each other. When a computer in New York wants to send a piece of data to a computer in England, it must know the destination IP address that it woud like to send the information to. That information is sent most often via two methods, UDP and TCP. The two Internet workhorses: UDP and TCPUDP? TCP? I know you are getting confused, but I promise I will explain this in very basic terms so that you can understand this concept. TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol."

After I finished working that day, I closed the laptop and went to bed. When I reopened the laptop yesterday - nobody had even touched it inbetween - there were cracks in the screen (not on the surface, but in the LCD panel) and the right half of the screen didn't work anymore. Today I went to the Lenovo service center in Hong Kong and the (generally friendly) people there told me, that this was no case for warranty, because I had caused the damage. However, as I am sure, that the failure is not my fault, I am really not willing to pay 3000 HKD (400 USD) for a replacement screen (I have a 3 year warranty). What I wanted to ask now is: Has anybody else had similar problems? Does anybody has an explanation, how this damage can occur? And especially: How can I convince the people from the service center to repair it under warranty? I argued with them for 2 hours, but they were not open for my arguments."

He did an experiment of observing atoms that shook the very foundations of science and philosophy. What he discovered is that there has never been an unobserved atom, and what's more is that you only see the end result of one, which has been proved to react to the observer. This means that if the observer always has an effect on what is being observed, then our observations about life actually change our life, then what we perceive is what we are creating as well. Then all problems are observations, meaning all problems have been observed into reality. ( In Bohrs experiement he measured light being a particle or a wave.

U2 singer Bono infamously uttered what many consider the “worst” swear word in the English language during the 2003 Golden Globes. The U. S. government, through the FCC , responded with what they called the fleeting expletive policy, which stated that broadcasters could be fined for allowing even a single curse word on live television. But on Tuesday, a federal appeals court in New York concluded that the rule was unconstitutionally vague and tossed it out. It’s probably safe to assume that as long as humans have been speaking, we’ve been cussin’ and cursin’. What can the connection between “curse,” “swear,” “cuss” and “profanity” tell us about all the words we aren’t supposed to say, yet say with great frequency? Placing a curse obviously isn’t the same as uttering curse words, but both concepts start with the Christian Church. Originally, the sense of curse as “the expression of a wish that misfortune, evil, doom, etc., befall a person, group, etc.”"

Even after they popped, the red area still continued to grow in size and created large scaly sores. The skin underneath and surrounding is very red, irritated and tender because the upper layers of skin have peeled away, while the surrounding area is slightly itchy. I was working at a vehicle repair shop and handling various battery acids and chemicals, and wonder if that could be the cause of the blisters. However even after I have stopped working there, there are new ones still forming. I have just started using an over the counter Hydrocortisone cream to treat the mild itch on the surrounding skin. Any idea what could be causing these sores? What would be the best course of action to heal these and is there any prevention for new blisters forming? At this point I do not know whether this is related to an allergy, an infection, a virus or a chemical burn or something else. Any help with this issue is very much appreciated."

Blisters on hands are the small raised areas that are normally filled with fluid and are located in the superficial layer of the skin. They appear like bubbles on the surface of the skin. Although they are caused by an irritation or friction, blisters may also represent disease processes. Blisters can also accompany some types of the skin rashes and inflammatory conditions, including certain autoimmune diseases. Depending on the cause of the blisters, blisters can occur singly or in groups. In contrast to the abscesses and boils, which are the collections of inflammatory fluid that are found deep in the tissues, blisters are normally found in the most superficial layer of skin. A blister is a bubble of fluid under the skin."

"text": "Health Hand, Foot And Mouth Disease Is On The Rise—Here Are The Symptoms To Look For Parents, you need to know the warning signs of this contagious disease. Kate Desmond · 1 year ago SHARE PIN ITAdobe There are many things that keep me awake at night when it comes to parenting little ones, including wanting to keep my babies healthy and happy. I never want my kids to get sick. But if they do, I REALLY don’t want them to get hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). While I certainly recognize there are far worse, more life-threatening illnesses, this one just gives me the willies. Both of my girls have suffered from this unsightly blister-inducing disease. I battled with an intense need to snuggle them and tell them everything will be okay, and at the same time, part of me wanted to put on a hazmat suit!Why am I so dramatic? Because HFMD is a highly contagious disease caused by the Enterovirus group of viruses that results in painful mouth sores, fever and rashes on the hands and feet (and in little ones this often means lots of whining and crying, too, as you can imagine). It most commonly affects young, preschool-age children, but can infect adults as well. According to the CDC, outbreaks occur most commonly outside the winter months (unlike so many other viruses), and it’s important to know the warning signs."

Submit Your Comment Comment from: kweenie, 13-18 Female ( Caregiver) Published: January 12Initially the Coxsackie virus infection presented like the flu. She also had a red face like someone had slapped both cheeks. Little red dots developed on the side of the fingers and when touched they felt like splinters or pinched nerves. Then the red dots developed in the back of the throat and was sore (like the first day of having a strep throat ). Next, fever, joint aches (really bad), and then blisters all over hands and feet developed. This whole episode lasted about a week and a half. Then the blisters began to peel off leaving red raw new skin exposed. Hands completed peeling as feet just began. Some of these locations still have no new nerve endings (no sensations)."

"text": "Courtesy Brown & Curry Law Firm Chris Harris June 10, 2016 04:25 PMAfter finishing her freshman year, a woman who’d anonymously sued the University of Kansas in April for allegedly failing to properly address her sexual assault claims has come forward, disclosing her identity in a video posted to You Tube, PEOPLE confirms. In the video, which was uploaded to the web on Thursday, Sarah Mc Clure, who was attending the school on a rowing scholarship, says she’s the student who filed legal action against the Lawrence, Kansas, school two months ago. “I was a freshman at KU and a coxswain on the rowing team,” she says in the video. “ I was assaulted by the same football player who assaulted another rower on the team. I chose to stand up for myself and reported him to KU, then KU did nothing for months. ”Mc Clure claims she felt unsafe walking around the school’s campus because her alleged attacker was not suspended. The attacker was ultimately expelled, but Mc Clure says it took too long for the school to remove the student from campus and he should have been suspended during their investigation. “I struggled every day…I couldn’t sleep,” Mc Clure says in the clip. “ I didn’t leave my dorm room. I stayed inside with a chair under my doorknob because I felt so unsafe."

They’ve got it backwards. Chiropractors, homeopaths, naturopaths, acupuncturists, and other alternative medicine practitioners constantly criticize conventional medicine for “only treating the symptoms,” while alternative medicine allegedly treats “the underlying causes” of disease. Nope. Not true. Exactly backwards. Think about it: When you go to a doctor with a fever, does he just treat the symptom? No, he tries to figure out what’s causing the fever. If it’s pneumonia, he identifies which microbe is responsible and gives you the right drugs to treat that particular infection. If you have abdominal pain, does the doctor just give you narcotics to treat the symptom of pain?"

"text": "Yes Congress Is Still Getting Paid, You Can Thank The Constitution Congress is still getting paid during the shutdown, and there's nothing that can be done about that. Doug Mataconis · Wednesday, October 2, 2013 · 16 comments As many observers have noted, while some 800,000 Federal Government employees are furloughed and facing the possibility that they might not get paid for the period during which the government is shut down, Members of Congress are still getting paid, and the reason can be found in the Constitution: In an extended shutdown, most of the federal workforce would go without pay, but the checks will keep coming to the 533 current members of Congress. “That is disgraceful in my view,” said freshman Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, told CNN. “ Basically the only people who get paid in a shutdown are members of Congress, and that is irresponsible. ”Gabbard plans to send any pay she receives during a shutdown back to the Treasury. The combat veteran said she was shocked to find out recently that members’ pay is protected. It is — by the Constitution. The 27th Amendment to the Constitution restricts any Congress from changing its own pay. The measure was proposed in the first days of the Republic but was not ratified until 1992, after a grass-roots movement promoted the idea and the necessary number of state legislatures approved it. While many may have wanted to restrain Congress from increasing its pay, the amendment also blocks Congress from freezing or cutting its compensation."

TWITTER 12/23/2016Martin Scorsese wrestles his religious obsessions to the ground in medieval Japan in his new drama starring Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver. For many decades, the struggle, and sometimes the glory, of religious belief was a continuing preoccupation for numerous major film directors, from John Ford, Leo Mc Carey, Frank Borzage and Cecil B. De Mille in Hollywood to Carl Dreyer, Ingmar Bergman, Robert Bresson and, in his own perverse way, Luis Bunuel internationally. In recent times, however, apart from faith-based filmmaking for a target audience, from which no known auteurs have yet emerged, religion as a recurring and serious topic has virtually disappeared from the American screen, except in certain works by Mel Gibson and Martin Scorsese. In the long-gestating Silence, the latter has arguably made his most focused and searching exploration of the subject that has been both an explicit and implicit driving force behind many of his films. Not all dream projects turn out well, but this one comes within shouting distance. The film is shot in a restrained, classical style, with very few of the director's virtuoso camera and editing moves. It's also resolutely, even single-mindedly focused on its central theme, creating an unvarying dramatic temperature and tone that is only relieved somewhat in the second half. Scorsese's reputation and some strong critical support will assure interest among discerning big city audiences for this Paramount release, but the work's grim nature and imposing length will likely keep the masses away. Based on Shusaku Endo's acclaimed and enduring 1966 novel, which was made into a well-received Japanese film by Masahiro Shinoda five years later, Scorsese's version is, to a bit of a fault, almost exclusively concerned with the issue reflected by the book's title — that is, God's deafening, soul-churning, doubt-and-madness producing silence in the face of both endless human suffering and the devout's unceasing efforts to receive some form of divine guidance as regards to their earthly endeavors."

"text": "AFP/Getty Images CHAPEL HILL, N. C. (Market Watch) — If the 10-year Treasury yield rises to 5%, gold will fall to $471 an ounce. And if that yield rises to just 4%, from its current 2.8%, gold will still plunge — to $831. Those sobering forecasts come from an econometric formula based on the last decade’s relationship between gold and interest rates. Assuming this past is prologue, the only way for gold to make it back to its all-time high above $1,900 an ounce is for the 10-Year Treasury yield to fall to 1%. To be sure, a comprehensive model of gold’s price needs to include more than just interest rates. But, according to Claude Erb, who conducted these statistical analyses, we should not be too quick to reject his simple “behavioral” model relating gold’s price to the 10-Year Treasury yield. Erb is a former commodities portfolio manager for Trust Company of the West and the co-author (with Campbell Harvey, a Duke University finance professor) of a recent National Bureau of Economic Research entitled “The Golden Dilemma. ”Erb says we should not blithely dismiss his simple gold-interest rate model because it has had impressive explanatory power in recent years. Consider a statistic known as the r-squared, which reflects the degree to which fluctuations in one thing predicts or explains changes in another. The r-squared ranges between 0 and 1, with 1 indicating the highest degree of predictive power and 0 meaning that there is no detectable relationship."

What are we to make of it all? I start with consciousness. I am certainly conscious, and I’m equally certainly made of matter; so I conclude that matter is capable of consciousness, and there’s no need to make up a thing called a soul to do the consciousness while the dull, inert, clod-like body does the carrying around. I’m certain that animals are conscious, and I see no reason to deny a form of consciousness to plants too. Don’t they sense where the sun is, and turn towards it?

"text": "\"Francois Hollande – Moving France Toward A Command Economy August 27, 2012 | Author Pater Tenebrarum France – a Zwangswirtschaft? Zwangswirtschaft is the very apt German term Ludwig von Mises used to describe various forms of state capitalism, such as the economy of Nazi Germany. The literal translation is 'coerced economy' and as such it is a decisive step closer to a full-scale socialistic command economy than the severely hampered market economy (a milder form of state capitalism) that is in place in most of the so-called 'free world' today. Francois Hollande is a typical colorless career bureaucrat-politician who never had a 'real job' in his whole life, this is to say, he never had to prove himself in the private sector. The cabinet put together by the perpetually astonished looking president (we strongly suspect that he is still astonished that he was actually elected) is of similar quality: it is almost a Soviet-style politbureau, with not a single senior minister who is not a career politician or bureaucrat (the two often go hand in hand in Europe). German news magazine Der Spiegel, which is normally known to be sympathetic to the center-left, recently published a scathing article on the industrial dirigisme of Hollande's government the title of which leaves little to the imagination: “ How Paris Is Killing French Industry ”. What prompted the magazine to take a closer look at France's economic policies was the case of ailing car maker Peugeot, which the president and his 'minister of industrial renewal' (talk about irony), Arnaud Montebourg have decided to micro-manage to death. It is worth quoting the article at length, as the case demonstrates the attitude of the French government toward the private sector quite vividly:“Well-meaning people can often be particularly dangerous. Take French President François Hollande and Minister of Industrial Renewal Arnaud Montebourg, for example. They want to rush to the aid of French automaker PSA, which has driven itself into a crisis with its Peugeot and Citroën brands."

The series – a spinoff from Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-head – was created by Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis in 1997 after MTV decided its cartoonishly titillating Aeon Flux wasn’t as appealing to girls as they’d initially hoped. “ I’m sure you’ve seen her costumes,” jokes Daria co-creator Glenn Eichler. “ That didn’t pan out the way they planned so they thought, 'Well, let’s try to spin Daria off,' and I volunteered to do it.” That it found a home with the exact opposite demographic of Butt-head and dealt with relatable teenage issues also spoke volumes about its necessity. “ You know that feeling you have in high school that’s like, everyone else is different and you’re the only one that understands you?”"

BLOB could store a large chunk of data, document types and even media files like audio or video files. BLOB fields allocate space only whenever the content in the field is utilized. BLOB allocates spaces in Giga Bytes. USAGE OF BLOB : You can write a binary large object ( BLOB) to a database as either binary or character data, depending on the type of field at your data source."

"text": "One of my favorite features (admittedly, there are quite a few) of SQL Server 2016 is Poly Base. It’s a fantastic piece of technology that allows users to near seamlessly tie relational and non-relational data. This feature has been available for Analytics Platform System (APS) and SQL Data Warehouse (SQL DW) for some time, and fortunately, it has finally made its way to SQL Server, thanks to the SQL Server 2016 release. What is Poly Base? Poly Base is a technology that accesses and combines both non-relational and relational data, all from within SQL Server. It allows you to run queries on external data in Hadoop or Azure blob storage. The queries are optimized to push computation to Hadoop. As previously mentioned, Poly Base is currently utilized by: SQL Server 2016Azure SQL DWAnalytics Platform System (APS)What does this mean? It means that there’s flexibility for an evolving road map, whether it’s on premise (scaling out with APS), or Azure (SQL DW and SQL DB [coming in the near future]).

Mike Wood shows the basics of how to use it, from start through to snapshots and metadata; both from . NET, and by using the free tool, Cerebrata Azure Explorer. Windows Azure BLOB storage service can be used to store and retrieve Binary Large Objects (BLOBs), or what are more commonly known as files. In this introduction to the Windows Azure BLOB Storage service we will cover the difference between the types of BLOBs you can store, how to get files into and out of the service, how you can add metadata to your files and more. There are many reasons why you should consider using BLOB storage. Perhaps you want to share files with clients, or off-load some of the static content from your web servers to reduce the load on them. However, if you are using Azure’s Platform as a Service (Paa S), also known as Cloud Services, you’ll most likely be very interested in BLOB storage because it provides persistent data storage. With Cloud Services you get dedicated virtual machines to run your code on without having to worry about managing those virtual machines. Unlike the hard drives found in Windows Azure Virtual Machines (the Infrastructure as a Service -Iaa S- offering from Microsoft), the hard drives used in Cloud Services instances are not persistent."

This is our bonus game but also the most important round, because now we will convert our tokens from the citric acid cycle (NADH and FADH 2) into tickets (ATP). This is where the bulk of ATP comes from in cellular respiration—not glycolysis nor the citric acid cycle, but oxidative phosphorylation. If we break it down, it is not too hard to figure out what this long phrase means. \"\" Oxidative\"\" must have something to do with oxidation, which involves a transfer of electrons. \"\" Phosphorylation\"\" is a term we saw earlier, and it means adding phosphate groups. Putting them together, we must be talking about redox reactions and phosphate additions, which isn't all that different from what we dealt with in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. The main purpose of oxidative phosphorylation is to transfer electrons from NADH and FADH 2 and use them to power ATP production. Similarly, the main point of playing arcade games is to win tickets for prizes (okay, and maybe to have fun and earn high scores to impress our friends)."

The Lawn Gnomes, for instance, now throw knives and garden tools, and Dr. Brewer's plant monsters are seen demolishing a neighborhood. In the books, Slappy spent his time bullying children into being his slaves.

Here is an online projectile motion applets to play with, just for fun.http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/more_stuff/Applets/Projectile/projectile.html Unless otherwise stated in a particular problem or discussion, we will be ignoring the effects of air resistance. The key to understanding the motion of projectiles is that the horizontal motion and the vertical motion of the projectile are independent of each other. So we can write separate equations for the displacement of the projectile in the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) directions. The only common variable between these two equations is t, the time. Because in projectile problems there is usually no acceleration (i.e. we ignore air resistance) in the horizontal direction, we can write The velocity components follow the same equations we used for one-dimensional motion. Because there is usually no acceleration in the x direction, the x-velocity is constant. Here's an Interactive Video Vignette from the fine physics folks at RIT and Davidson College.

It is possible you don't need to follow these exact steps anymore (Azure may have updated infrastructure to support moving VHD files without detaching them from disks/vm) but it is really not worth risking it. Preqequisites: Red Gate Cloud Sync Free Trial is good for 30 days and then it is about 10 dollars for 31 uses a month. Totally worth it! This is a great tool for backing up Azure storage to an offsite location and SQL as well."

"text": "How To Downgrade i Phone, i Pod Touch, i Pad And Apple TV: Everything You Need To Know In this section you will learn how to downgrade your i Phone, i Pod Touch, i Pad and Apple TV to a lower firmware version (e.g. i OS 9, i OS 8, i OS 7, i OS 6, i OS 5 etc.) than the one you are currently running. Additionally, you will also learn the best way to save your SHSH blobs which will allow you to downgrade your i Phone, i Pad, i Pod Touch and Apple TV firmware version in the future. Simply scroll through our How To Downgrade section for the firmware version you are trying to downgrade to, and read one of our easy to follow how to guides on downgrading your i Phone, i Pod Touch, i Pad, Apple TV or even Play Station. Note #1: This is not some magical section of guides that will allow you to downgrade your i Phone, i Pod Touch, i Pad or Apple TV 2G without having your SHSH blobs saved for prior firmware versions. Meaning you had to have saved your SHSH blobs for the firmware version you are trying to downgrade to, or downgrading will not work. Note #2: We will be updating this page with the latest how to downgrade guides when new firmware versions are released, so make sure you come back soon!How Apple Prevents Downgrading Downgrading your i Phone, i Pod Touch or i Pad to a lower firmware version is indeed possible, but unfortunately has become harder and harder over the years. In the early days you could downgrade your i OS device to any firmware version you wanted to and not run into many troubles. This is because firmware restores never had to be approved by Apple, but starting from i OS 3.0 onwards Apple implemented a technology called SHSH blob. What Is An SHSH Blob?"

Compare images from this year and last. Acquired July 1-31, 2015. Image credit: NASAThese maps show sea surface temperature anomalies in the Pacific in July 2015 (above) and January 2016 (below). The maps do not depict absolute temperatures; instead, they show how much above (red) or below (blue) water temperatures were compared to the average from 2003 to 2012. Acquired January 1-31, 2016. Image credit: NASABy the end of January, 2016, a giant patch of remarkably warm water in the northeast Pacific off the U. S. west coast, nicknamed The Blob, appears to have dissipated. Its break-up is thanks in part to the strong El Niño in the equatorial Pacific, say scientists. The so-called blob formed in response to an unusually strong and persistent ridge of atmospheric high pressure that emerged over the northeastern Pacific Ocean in the winter of 2013-14. The feature, which was so unrelenting that meteorologists took to calling it the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge, weakened winds in the area enough that the normal wind-driven churning of the sea eased."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Bloke (disambiguation). Look up bloke in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Bloke is a slang term for a man common in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The earliest known usage is from the early 19th century, when it was recorded as a London slang term. [ 1] The word's origin is unknown, and though many theories exist regarding its etymology, none is considered conclusive. In Australia, a bloke is a unique masculine archetype associated with the country's national identity. The \"\"Aussie bloke\"\" has been portrayed in important works of art and associated with famous Australian men, while in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, \"\"bloke\"\" is an everyday term for any man. Contents [ hide ]1 Origin2 History3 Australian bloke3.1 Good bloke4 See also5 References Origin [ edit]According to Quinion, Ernest Weekley and John Camden Hotten, bloke probably derives either from the Romany, language of the Rom (gypsies), or from Shelta, a secret language of Welsh and Irish Travellers. [ 2] [3] [4] These languages have roots with the Hindi word loke, a man. [ 2] [3] Lexicographer Eric Partridge conjectured the word loke was the original but an unspecified word \"\"too low for mention\"\" was the cause of a b- added in slang. ["

What's the origin of the term? I know it was used to refer to aboriginal females who were (or thought to be) used for sex by white males but why that term? Is it slang for something?

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Technology Computers Internet Domain Names Where did the saying starvin' like Marvin come from? Flag Where did the saying starvin' like Marvin come from? Answer by The Willow82 Confidence votes 35The phrase \"\"I'm starvin' like Marvin\"\" goes back to at least the the late 1980's because I heard it and was using it with my friends in high school. I can't remember which of us heard it first or from where, but it certainly didn't originate with us. It wasn't a reference to any particular person named Marvin and the name Marvin simply rhymed with the slang pronunciation of the word 'starving'. The animated show South Park has an episode where a very hungry character (Marvin) is trying to find food for himself and his people. The main characters on the show try to help 'starvin Marvin'. ___________ Actually it comes from Cockney Rhyming Slang- the original phrase was \"\"Lee Marvin\"\", basically starving. So to say youre hungry you just say \"\"Im Lee Marvin!\"\" ___________ LL Cool J used the phrase in his 1985 single Rock the Bells: You've been waitin' and debatin' for oh so long Just starvin' like Marvin for a Cool J. song If you cried and thought I died, you definitely was wrong It took a thought, plus I brought Cut Creator along It was around long before that.26 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

When he was born the doctors informed his parents that he too, would be dead before he was two years old, he proved them wrong. In 1915 at the tender age of sixteen, Burt purchased his first motorcycle, a Douglas. In 1919, he bought a Clyno motorcycle with a sidecar and after removing it he went to the Fortose racing circuit and set some speed records with it. The speed bug had bitten him hard. In 1920 at the age of 21, a young man stood gazing at a brand-new Indian Scout motorcycle in an Invercargill garage. He was awestruck by the powerful 600cc V twin engine, the sophisticated cast alloy primary case, an impressive three speed transmission and a robust leaf sprung front end. A bike he was to keep his entire life and in fact become a world land speed record holder. Burt's machine carried the engine number 5OR627 and has been identified as one of the earlier Scouts that Indian manufactured."

The deserts of the Lake Eyre basin are unlike any other in Australia. The sediments that flow down the great river systems of the Diamantina and Cooper are raised by the wind and dumped into vast longitudinal sand dunes. They hold less vegetation than the Western Deserts, interspersed with its salt lakes, clay pans and spinifex. In places there are gidgee groves in the interdunal corridors, gnarled like ancient olive trees. Amid all this beauty is one of the toughest four wheel drive challenges on the planet.

Other responses included: \"\"I have some brisket bones, if you want them, but there's no meat on them\"\" (Andrew's Meat, Yarraville) ... \"\"We don't sell it, you'd be better off with a better cut of meat\"\" (Jonathons, collingwood) ... \"\"Yes this is it\"\" (pointing to Flank Steak, which I think looked pretty close, but there was 0 fat on it, so I shied away... (Footscray market) ... and \"\"We can get it, but you have to order it in a week ahead of time\"\" (another local butcher in Yarraville). So, I'm a tad confused, but I'm certain that it must be around."

Tens of thousands of people stood motionless in the darkness to remember their fallen countrymen and women as they marked the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. As the ceremonies and marches got under way around the world, those celebrating Anzac Day got in to games of Two-Up, while drinking beers and toasting to our fallen and present soldiers who have died and continue to protect our country. The young and old ventured out to watch and congratulate veterans who marched across our states, and overseas. Two-Up Source: News Limited ANZAC March Source: News Limited Positive news has also emerged today, after a World War II digger who lost his war medals at an Anzac Day service in southern NSW has been reunited with them after his plea went viral on social media. ANZAC Day March in Sydney Source: News Limited Maurice Dore, a 90-year-old veteran of the New Guinea campaign, noticed he was missing his medals after leaving a church service in Albury. Soon after, he made a plea via local media in the hope of getting the medals back. The appeal quickly went viral on social platforms, with more than 60,000 people reportedly viewing it on Facebook in the hours after it was posted. ANZAC Day Source: News Limited On seeing the Facebook alert, a local high school student responded that the medals had been handed in to a nearby RSL by an unknown person. Mr Dore was reunited with his medals - just three hours after they had disappeared."

Sometimes it can be a cause for alarm and other times not. Having blood in the stool may occur due to various reasons. The occurrence of blood and mucus together in stools, may be an indication of a digestive tract disease and should be taken seriously. Mucus and blood may occur due to an infection of the intestine or an infection in any part of the digestive tract. The blood may be a red color, in which case it is mostly indicative of an infection of the intestine. If the blood mucus appears black, then you may have an infection of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The balck color is due to the hemoglobin being oxidized, which only happens when the blood originates from the upper gastrointestinal tract. Severe diarrhea is a common cause of mucus and blood in stool."

What is mucus? \"\" Mucus is like a gelatin, a sticky substance the function of which is to lubricate and also to filter,\"\" says Dr. Ellis. Mucus acts as a filter of the air you breathe by catching dirt and debris as you inhale it, protecting your lungs. However, Ellis explains, what most people think of as the substance in their nose and sinus passages is a delicate balance of both mucus and watery secretions — fluid made by the cells of the nose and sinuses. Usually these two substances work together smoothly, and you probably don't even notice them. \"\" If you get an allergy or a cold and your nose is running like a faucet, you're making an excess of watery secretions,\"\" Ellis says. At the other extreme, thick mucus — the kind that leads to post-nasal drip and congestion or gets crusty — is usually the result of being excessively dry. Ellis says 90 percent of the patients he sees are actually experiencing problems with thick mucus, not a runny nose due to the common cold."

Wikimedia Share Tweet Share E-mail It’s not uncommon when you develop a hacking cough from deep down in your lungs to cough up a gel-like substance known as phlegm, or sputum. While you may think nothing of it, simply associating it with your sickness, the color of the mucus can tell you some things about the pathogens invading your body. The body is a mucus-making machine, producing about 1 to 1.5 liters of phlegm every day, even when you’re healthy. “ In health, phlegm/mucus is mostly clear and minimal,” Dr. Matthew Exline, a pulmonologist and critical care specialist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, told Medical Daily in an email. “ If you are coughing up significant amounts of phlegm you could have an infection or allergies. ”Read More: Coughing Up Blood: 5 Possible Causes, And What To Do While coughing up only a little clear phlegm is considered normal, larger amounts of phlegm may indicate a developing infection. This occurs as a result of the respiratory tract becoming inflamed, which also leads to coughing. In turn, this coughing speeds up the rate for which the infection affects a person. So, now that we’ve gotten clear phlegm out of the way, what do other colors of phlegm mean for our health?"

The presence of mucus in the urine in most cases represents a UTI. Protein in urine could be from strenous exercise or even fever....but in cases where there is an uderlying condition, you could have protein from Diabetes, heart disease, or even taking certain drugs can cause you to have protein in the urine.

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

It refers to the mucus that is secreted by the mucous membrane in the respiratory tract. When the mucus membranes in your body try to fight off infections and inflammations, phlegm is formed. Phlegm is slightly different from mucus, as it comes from the lungs and not the nasal passages. Phlegm tends to collect and congest in the chest and throat region. It is usually expelled from the mouth when the individual coughs. Usually the formation of phlegm isnt a cause for worry. It is however an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition as it leads to constant throat congestion, constant throat clearing, coughing, and at times shortness of breath. Phlegm may also interfere with sleep patterns. While phlegm isnt usually dangerous, if it is ignored for long, it can clog and irritate the bronchial tubes causing a secondary upper respiratory tract infection."

"text": "10 Facts You Should Know About a Mucus Plug1. What is a mucus plug? At the very beginning of pregnancy some mucus is accumulated in the uterine cervix generated by the uterus during ovulation. As the mucus thickens, it seals the cervix tightly, blocking the way for any infection from the vagina to the cervix and thereby protecting the fetus. Human mucus plug is formed from the cervical glands secretion. It is a thick, gelatinous mass that fills the entire cervical canal. It’s formed at the end of the first month of pregnancy, when the ovum is implanted in the uterine cavity: at this time the cervix softens, swells and gets filled with the cervical mucus produced by the cells of the cervix. With each ovulation it thickens to form rather dense clot blocking the entrance to the uterus. Secretion of cervical glands is constantly supported by a high level of estrogen and progestin which are the hormones responsible for the fetal development. Thus, the plug isn’t formed from the thick liquid, which was generated from the beginning of pregnancy."

UA = urinalysis (analysis of urine)Leukocyte esterase (LE) = a type of enzyme contained in most leukocytes (white blood cells), tested for on a urine dipstick (first part of a urinalysis)The presence of white blood cells in the urine indicates inflammation of some kind. Most commonly, it indicates a urinary tract infection. However, there are other causes of LE being present in the urine not due to infection: Such as in interstitial cystitis (inflammation). Also, classically, if someone has taken phenazopyridine (brandnames Pyridium or Azo —the stuff that turns your urine orange), this test will be a false positive: that is, the test will say LE is present in the urine, but actually, this test result is caused by the drug itself. There are some other drugs that cause give a similar false positive result. Moderate amount is exactly what it sounds like: there’s a moderate amount of the leukocyte esterase in the urine on a dipstick. The urine is typically further analyzed under the microscope when a positive result such as the ‘moderate LE’ is found: visually, the presence of white blood cells is confirmed (or not)."

"text": "\"Is 140/70 Good Blood Pressure or High Blood Pressure? There are two parts or two separate numbers referred to as blood pressure: Systolic/Diastolic. If the blood pressure is 140/70 (140 over 70), it means that the systolic pressure is 140 and the diastolic pressure is 70. 140/70 blood pressure can also be read as 140/70 mm Hg, or 140/70 millimeters of mercury. The 140 mm Hg Systolic refers to the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, and the 70 mm Hg Diastolic is the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats. When determining if 140/70 is a good blood pressure, we looked at the American Heart Association's blood pressure chart below. Normal Blood Pressure Systolic: Less than 120Diastolic: Less than 80Prehypertension Blood Pressure Systolic: From 120 to 139Diastolic: From 80 to 89High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1Systolic: From 140 to 159Diastolic: From 90 to 99High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2Systolic:160 or higher Diastolic:100 or higher Hypertensive Crisis (Emergency care needed)Systolic: Higher than 180Diastolic: Higher than 110 For 140/70 to be good, both numbers must fit into the \"\"normal\"\" category above.

"text": "\"Blood Pressure Definition Covering systolic and diastolic blood pressure definition as well as high, low, arterial, normal and orthostatic blood pressure definitions Definition of Blood Pressure Blood pressure refers to the pressure that is exerted by blood on the walls of the blood vessels as it flows. The heart beats about 60-70 times a minute and in each of these times pumps blood into the arteries. Per each beat the heart pumps 70ml of blood. Altogether an adult heart pumps 6000 to 7000 liters per day which is equivalent to 1500 to 2000 gallons per day. This however does not mean there are 7000 liters of blood in a human being. This simply refers to the repeated action of pumping about five liters of total blood in a human being. Blood pressure definition may also be understood in the context of the actual mechanical work of the heart. During each heartbeat, the heart muscles contract forcing blood through arteries under a wave of pressure which is known as pulse. Each single heartbeat has one pulsation which can be felt under the skin on the back of the knee, wrist, neck and groin amongst other strategic places on a person's body. When at rest your blood pressure is less and raises with activity to 20 liters of blood flow under pressure from the heart up from 5 liters when you are resting."

Blood pressure is the measure of the force that the heart uses to pump blood around the body. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of Mercury (mm Hg) and is given by the doctor as two readings, the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure. The first of the two readings, i.e. the systolic blood pressure, is a measure of the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart contracts and exerts maximum pressure on the blood vessel walls while pushing the blood out. The second reading, i.e. the diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart is at rest, i.e. between contractions. The normal systolic blood pressure is considered to be 120 by most doctors, and the normal diastolic blood pressure is considered to be 80. Blood pressure normally increases throughout life, right from infancy to older adulthood. For most adults, regardless of their age, the normal BP range is considered to be 120/80 or less. What is the Normal Blood Pressure Range? As mentioned earlier, blood pressure increases with age, beginning from infancy to older adulthood."

Many patients with high blood pressure develop coronary artery disease or heart failure, and many die as a result. But all parts of the body depend on the circulation, and many organs suffer from the impact of untreated hypertension. One of the organs at greatest risk is the brain. What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the vital force that propels oxygen-rich blood to all parts of your body. Your heart is the pump that generates the force, and your arteries are the channels that transport and distribute the blood. The height of your blood pressure is determined by how forcefully your heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, contracts, and by the diameter and stiffness of your arteries. In turn, your heart and arteries are influenced by a large number of genetic, hormonal, metabolic, neurological, psychological, and lifestyle factors that determine your blood pressure. Because these influences are so numerous and complex, your blood pressure can vary from minute to minute and hour to hour during the course of the day, to say nothing of the slower shifts that occur over the course of a lifetime."

Any training method that ameliorates the pressor effect of exercise should reduce the risk of stroke. The objective of this study was to observe the influence of breathing technique on arterial blood pressure (BP) generated during heavy, dynamic weight lifting. BP was recorded in 10 male athletes by radial artery catheterization. Each subject then performed double-leg press sets at 85% and 100% of maximum. Each exercise was performed twice, once with closed glottis Valsalva, and then with slow exhalation during concentric contraction. The mean BP at 100% maximum with Valsalva was 311/284. The highest pressure recorded in an individual was 370/360. With slow exhalation, the mean BP was 198/175 when the same 100% maximum was lifted ( p < .005). A reduced pressor response was also noted at 85% maximal lifting with slow exhalation."

This can go undetected and untreated for many years. An acute or chronic problem of the kidneys can be discovered when an abnormal result is detected on routine urine or blood tests. If any abnormalities are detected, it is important that the kidneys are further investigated to rule out any reversible causes and to reveal the likely cause of your kidney deterioration. Once this has been determined, the doctor can initiate management and optimise treatment for your kidney condition. You may have heard of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) – a value that is becoming increasingly useful to help measure your level of kidney function. The GFR can give the doctor an indication of how much damage has been done to the kidneys and determine your stage of kidney disease. By monitoring the trends and changes in the GFR over a period of time, the course of your disease can be observed. The earlier kidney disease is detected, the better the chances of slowing progression of disease and restoring function of the kidneys. Multiple studies have been performed in patients with kidney disease and the diagnosis and further investigation of kidney disease has been guided by results of these studies."

The level of glucose in your blood remains fairly stable, slightly rising after eating and declining a small amount between meals or after exercising. Blood glucose can be measured in many ways. Some tests measure glucose directly, while others measure the amount of glucose attached to a specific protein. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Fasting and Premeal Blood Glucose Levels The amount of glucose in the blood varies, depending on when you last ate. A fasting blood glucose level after at least 8 hours without caloric intake in a healthy, nondiabetic adult typically ranges from 70 to 99 mg/d L, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). People with a fasting blood glucose of 100 to 125 mg/d L are considered prediabetic, meaning the body's handling of glucose is impaired but not yet to the point of warranting a diagnosis of diabetes. A fasting blood glucose of 126 mg/d L or greater typically indicates diabetes, according to ADA criteria. Among people diagnosed with diabetes who are not pregnant, the ADA recommends a target fasting or premeal blood sugar level of 80 to 130 mg/d L. Postprandial and Oral Glucose Tolerance Levels As the blood glucose level typically increases after eating, testing after a meal -- known as a postprandial glucose level -- provides information about the body's capacity to maintain a healthy blood sugar level when challenged with a caloric load."

For the bottom number, anything above 90 when you're over the age of 65 would be considered hypertensive; but otherwise, between 85 and 90 is considered the first stage of hypertension, so ideally, you want that bottom number under 85.

Your heart rate, which is conventionally measured in beats per minute (bpm) can therefore be used as an indicator of exercise intensity. How do I measure my maximum heart rate Your maximum heart rate does not vary much with your fitness. ( Your resting heart rate, by contrast, does.) Your maximum heart rate falls as you get older. The best way to test your maximum heart rate is to do a running test which you can do on a track, in a park or on a treadmill. You should not do this without medical advice if you are over 50, if you are obese, or if you have any history of heart problems. After warming up, run at an even pace for three minutes, as fast as you can. Jog for two minutes; then run again for three minutes as fast as you can. Your maximum heart rate is the maximum level reached during the second 3 minute run."

Joe Raedle/Getty Images Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is relatively easy to diagnose, yet several studies find neither doctors nor patients are doing enough to fight it. Hypertension is the second leading cause of death in the United States — following tobacco — and a major risk factor for heart disease and strokes. Out-of-control and undiagnosed hypertension is at epidemic proportions in the United States, according to an Institute of Medicine panel of medical experts. The panel cites studies that show more than two-thirds of people with hypertension do not have it under control. An estimated 1 in 3 adults — 73 million people — in the United States has high blood pressure. As we get older, blood vessels stiffen, says cardiologist Thomas Lee, a professor at Harvard University School of Medicine. There's a resistance to blood flow, so the heart has to pump harder. As blood surges, those rigid blood vessels are weakened and may burst, which can lead to a stroke and heart failure. Most people seem to have diastolic blood pressure under control — that's the bottom number, a measure of the heart at rest."

"text": "Overview The level of C-reactive protein (CRP), which can be measured in your blood, increases when there's inflammation in your body. Your doctor might check your C-reactive protein level for infections or for other medical conditions. A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test, which is more sensitive than a standard test, also can be used to evaluate your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries of your heart are narrowed. Coronary artery disease can lead to a heart attack. A simple blood test measures C-reactive protein. Why it's done Your doctor might order a CRP test to check for inflammation, which can indicate infection or a chronic inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, as well as risk of heart disease. CRP tests for heart disease It's thought that a high level of hs-CRP in your blood is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks. A CRP test doesn't indicate the cause of inflammation, though, so it's possible that a high hs-CRP level could mean there's inflammation caused by something besides your heart. The American Heart Association doesn't recommend an hs-CRP test for everyone. Rather, the test is most useful for people who have a 5 to 10 percent chance of having a heart attack within the next 10 years."

"text": "Approach Considerations The laboratory hallmark of giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an elevation in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) level. The ESR usually exceeds 50 mm/h and may exceed 100 mm/h, but may be normal in 7-20% of patients with GCA. [ 91, 92] Therefore, a normal ESR does not rule out GCA, and the level of elevation of ESR does not correlate reliably with the severity of the disease. Because normal values of ESR are known to increase with age and are higher in women, the ESR should be adequately adjusted. [ 93]The CRP is of hepatic origin, usually rises before ESR in most disease states, and is often elevated in GCA. It has higher sensitivity and specificity than ESR (98.6% and 75.7%, respectively) and is relatively unaffected by age, gender, and other hematologic parameters. [ 94]Nonconcordance between ESR and CRP can occur (ie, either an elevated ESR with normal CRP or a normal ESR with an elevated CRP). The use of both tests provides a slightly greater sensitivity for the diagnosis of GCA (99%) than the use of either test alone. [ 95]Alpha-2 globulin, fibrinogen, and other acute-phase reactants are elevated mildly but nonspecifically in 72% of patients with GCA. A study of 26 markers related to immune cells identified serum B-cell activating factor (BAFF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) as having the strongest association with GCA; elevated levels of BAFF and IL-6 accurately distinguished patients with newly diagnosed GCA from healthy controls.

However, it’s more common in women and often first appears in middle age. Like other types of arthritis, RA causes swollen and painful joints. Unlike osteoarthritis, which is the result of the natural wear and tear of aging joints and a low level of inflammation, RA is the result of your immune system attacking your joints, causing a lot of inflammation. The exact reason for why this happens is still not fully understood. Keep reading to learn more about inflammation as well as C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and testing. RA inflammation RA inflammation If you have RA, your joints are inflamed. Inflammation is a natural process that occurs when your immune system attacks a foreign invader. When working correctly, immune cells rush to an area of infection, like a cut, and go to work. This causes the area to become inflamed, red, and painful, but eventually resolves."

Print/Download PDFWe are all familiar with recommendations from physicians and other health advocacy groups for various kinds of cancer screening tests, such as mammograms to detect breast cancer, colonoscopies to detect and prevent colon cancer, Pap smears to detect and prevent cervical cancer, and PSA tests to detect prostate cancer. What all of these tests have in common is the theme that early detection saves lives. We also know that in people, cancers for which there are no good methods of early detection such as ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer are often so advanced at the time of diagnosis that cure rates are low. With that as context, it’s completely understandable that we would be eager to embrace technologies that offer early cancer detection for our dogs. Our natural expectation is that the earlier cancer is diagnosed, the better chance our dogs will have for a cure or improved prognosis. And of course, this is especially on the minds of owners of breeds at highest risk for cancer. i Therefore, the recent announcement of a new cancer detection blood test ii intended for use as “a wellness screen for the apparently healthy dog prior to the onset of visible signs” has raised a great deal of interest among dog owners. The most immediate question seems to be, “Does it really work?” While some of this discussion will be specific to this particular test, the general considerations can guide evaluation of other tests marketed for similar purposes."

Now that we have laid some foundation about Leptin at the “30-foot research level” (I know, I made your head hurt at times), let’s zoom out now and look at how this affects the hormones that dictate the things patients see and feel and sense about their bodies. I want to now give you some perspective as to WHY this matters We have established that as one gets fat, Leptin levels rise. Once they get high enough (around a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 20-24), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) rises in several tissues. This also causes a rise of NF kappa beta and IL-6 in the brain.

It may initially affect one limb and then spread throughout the body; 35% of affected people report symptoms throughout their whole bodies. [ 1] There are multiple names for this disease, as well as two subtypes. Type I (also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy) refers to CRPS without evidence of a specific peripheral nerve injury. Type II refers to when there is specific evidence of a nerve injury. [ 2]The cause of CRPS is unknown. This typically occurs after an injury to the area in question such as a fracture or after surgery. [ 3] It is proposed that inflammation and alteration of pain perception in the central nervous system play important roles. It has been suggested that persistent pain and the perception of non-painful stimuli as painful may be caused by inflammatory molecules (IL-1, IL2, TNF-alpha) and neuropeptides (substance P) released from peripheral nerves. This release may be caused by inappropriate cross talk between sensory and motor fibers at the effected site. ["

Methods The study included children and adolescents between 6 and 18 years of age with a body mass index (BMI) higher than 2 SDS. All the patients had their blood pressure taken and hs-CRP, hepatic function, lipid profile and uric acid were determined after 12 h of fasting. Likewise, an oral glucose tolerance test was performed, determining basal glucose and insulin levels, and after stimulus. We considered the presence of metabolic syndrome when the obese children and teenagers showed at least two of the following conditions: decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension or alteration in glucose metabolism. Results Out of the 115 obese children studied, 24% showed signs of metabolic syndrome. Those with metabolic syndrome presented higher levels of hs-CRP (mean: 3.8 mg/l; 95% CI: 2.8–4.8) in comparison with the obese patients who did not show signs of metabolic syndrome (mean: 2 mg/l; 95% CI: 1.5–2.5)."

The Journal of the American College of Nutrition published a study which showed that as consumption of magnesium fell, levels of C reactive protein went up. You can supplement with magnesium citrate before bed. Start with 100-200 mg and work up to 400 mg based on bowel tolerance. Follow a low carb or ketogenic diet plan . Low carb diets reduce inflammation because they reduce circulating blood sugar and insulin."

"text": "<< Back to May 2014Testing For C-reactive Protein May Save Your Life May 2014By Susan Simmonds Have you had your CRP levels tested? You should—because this simple blood test might just save your life. C-reactive protein, or CRP, has long been used as a marker of inflammation in the body. 1 High CRP levels are found in practically every known inflammatory state. Even if you have no symptoms of disease, elevated CRP levels may signal an increased risk for practically all degenerative disorders, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and more. 2-6Now, it turns out that CRP is more than just a marker of inflammation—it is also a cause of inflammation. 7Knowing your CRP status puts you in an enviable position. If it is elevated, you can take proactive steps to lower it, thereby slashing your risk of a long list of disorders related to chronic inflammation. What Is CRP? C-reactive protein (CRP) is manufactured throughout the body, especially by immune cells, the liver, and by adipocytes (fat cells)."

Order up all seven of these tests at your next physical and you'll be doing more than just kicking the tires. Start with the Basics: The CBC\"\"If I had a 30-year-old man coming to me for the first time, I'd order a complete blood count (CBC),\"\" says Dr. David Perkins, an internal-medicine physician based in St. Davids, Pennsylvania. Think of the CBC as an array of baseline numbers for key factors such as red (oxygen-carrying) blood cells, white (infection-fighting) blood cells, and platelets (clotting particles). Within the CBC, a hematocrit score indicates the proportion of red blood cells in your total blood volume, and a hemoglobin measurement assesses the oxygen-carrying protein of red blood cells. \"\" If you've been following the exercise and nutrition advice recommended in this magazine and are still short of breath while pumping iron, you may have low hematocrit and hemoglobin counts,\"\" says Dr. John A.

CRP is a protein produced by the liver. Higher than normal concentrations of CRP are often an indicator of infection or inflammation in the body. This test can help determine if an infection is present but not the source of the infection. Condition which can cause elevated CRP levels include but are not limited to Sepsis, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Arthritis, Lupus, Vasculitis, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. C-Reactive protein levels are often higher in people who have recently had a heart attack. This test may be used to help determine if a person has had a recent cardiac event. A C-Reactive Protein test is typically ordered when it is suspected that an infection is present in the body. This test may be ordered because someone is exhibiting symptoms or if they have recently had an operation or surgery to check if any infection is present. It can also be ordered to monitor treatment for infections or inflammatory diseases by seeing if CRP levels are going down in response to medication."

It may initially affect one limb and then spread throughout the body; 35% of affected people report symptoms throughout their whole bodies. [ 1] There are multiple names for this disease, as well as two subtypes. Type I (also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy) refers to CRPS without evidence of a specific peripheral nerve injury. Type II refers to when there is specific evidence of a nerve injury. [ 2]The cause of CRPS is unknown. This typically occurs after an injury to the area in question such as a fracture or after surgery. [ 3] It is proposed that inflammation and alteration of pain perception in the central nervous system play important roles. It has been suggested that persistent pain and the perception of non-painful stimuli as painful may be caused by inflammatory molecules (IL-1, IL2, TNF-alpha) and neuropeptides (substance P) released from peripheral nerves. This release may be caused by inappropriate cross talk between sensory and motor fibers at the effected site. ["

"text": "When you got out of bed this morning, were you pain-free? Or did your hips and knees ache? Did your hands feel stiff when you poured your tea? Many women brush off these kinds of aches and pains, thinking they’re just normal signs of aging. As the years pass, many women find the pain intensifies, and begin to rely on regular doses of Motrin or Tylenol to feel well. Eventually, they may even stop doing the things that give them pain — even their most meaningful and cherished activities, like picking up a grandchild, playing an instrument, or gardening. As we experience pain and swelling in our fingers, wrists, knees or any joint, it’s easy to jump to the conclusion that our joints are “wearing down” from use, like car parts. We may even think we’re developing arthritis. But our bodies are not made up of mechanical pieces with built-in obsolescence; they are made up of living cells that can actually strengthen and grow when fully nourished and used properly. Many things can lead to chronic joint pain."

It is often ordered as part of the complete blood count, but may also be ordered as an absolute basophils blood test as well. What Are Basophils? They are one of 5 different types of white blood cells [WBCs] that people have at any given time. These WBCs are just a small percentage of the total number that are present at any given time, but their role is incredibly important. They are responsible for the release of histamines that help to protect the body from certain substance exposures, such as pollen, dander, or mold. When Will The Baso Blood Test Be Ordered? Patients who are struggling with an unknown health condition that is similar to asthma or an allergic reaction may have this test ordered to measure histamine response. Basophils only make up 1% or fewer of the total WBCs that are found in the human body, so identifying their presence in relation to specific environmental or health conditions can help doctors discover there may be a treatable condition.

Flag What does a low GRAN blood count mean? Answer by Maegi Mac Annadh Confidence votes 144Gran is short for granulocyte. The White Blood Count (WBC) in a blood test result is broken down into Granulocytes (GRAN) and Lymphocytes (LYM). White blood cells are part of the immune system. An elevated level of granulocytes is indicative of a bacterial infection. Granulocytes are less specific in the type of cells they attack so they can cover a broader range of infection. They are involved in the breakdown of tumor cells while promoting the repair of damaged tissue. They are also involved in the release of histamine which causes the release of prostoglandins which is responsible for the inflammatory process which occurs in the presence of infection by bringing more blood to the area as well as preventing microbes from leaving the area before they can be destroyed & thus are responsible for the prevention of infection by way of a physical barrier. A low level of granulocytes should be followed-up with additional testing to determine the reason."

The test includes an actual counting of red and white blood cells as well as an analysis of cells viewed on a blood smear. A CBC may be useful as a screening test for underlying infection, anemia and illness. Sometimes, the CBC can help determine the underlying cause of an anemia or infection. Drugs that affect the bone marrow change the CBC. Certain types of cancers, especially leukemia, may be evident on a blood smear. Blood parasites and some microorganisms are found by careful inspection of the blood cells during the CBC.

"text": "Forensic Pathology Career & Salary Outlook One of the most lucrative and in-demand subfields of forensics is pathology. These “death detectives” are licensed physicians with special training to perform autopsies and determine the cause of a death, disease, or injury. Also, they’re typically certified by the American Board of Pathology (ABP) in the forensic pathology subspecialty, a process which can take four to five years after medical school, including the completion of qualifying residency and fellowship programs. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ 2015)—an organization which has provided more than $42 million to research in pathology—details some of the most pressing responsibilities of forensic pathologists. NIJ reports that these professionals perform rigorous post-mortem examinations to determine the cause of death; consider medical histories of patients; perform complex scientific tests and assessments on subjects; liaise with various legal and medical professionals; construct plausible explanations for various types of wounds, marks, or internal injuries; recover evidence from corpses (e.g., bullets); analyze case reports and toxicology tests; and serve as expert witnesses in court. Forensic pathologists embody traits of doctors and detectives, often working long hours to solve cases and determine where criminal charges may be appropriate. Additionally, the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) reports that with rapidly evolving scientific technologies, there are more than 2,000 laboratory tests available for bodily fluids, and therefore the ongoing training in this field is extensive. Read on to discover the bright career outlook for forensic pathologists, as well as to learn about salary prospects, specialties, and professional accreditation. Career Outlook for Forensic Pathologists There is ample evidence of opportunities for aspiring forensic pathologists in years to come. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ 2015), there is a profound shortage of forensic pathologists which is delaying autopsies across the US."

You’ll be looked up to by the neighborhood kids and bragged about by your son on the playground. But apart from the social accolades, being a firefighter is a challenging and exhausting job, and you’ll need more than bravery to succeed. You can read all about the job duties of a firefighter, but those descriptions can only tell so much. To start to really understand what it takes, these firefighter testimonials can let you know what you’re getting into. Still interested? Good. It’s true that a high school diploma is often the minimum requirement to become a firefighter. But you’ll need more than that if you want to stand out, and especially if you dream of one day becoming a fire chief. Everyone applying for the job will have the minimum education required, so what can you do to move your resume to the top of the pile?"

Structural engineers design and create a wide variety of structures, including house, museums, theaters, stores and more. Using their knowledge of math and science, they also help solve many design and engineering problems, while also assisting architects in their work. Structural Engineering vs. Civil Engineering While civil engineers are the individuals who do the actual designs of buildings, bridges, etc., structural engineers are the professionals responsible for ensuring the structures are sturdy and will stand the test of time.

You’ve known that a career in nursing would be a great fit for you, but you’re hesitant to spend the next four years in school obtaining a Bachelor’s degree when you want to be out on the floor making an impact as soon as possible. What many people don’t know is that there are actually many paths to becoming a nurse. One long-standing, popular track is to become a licensed practical nurse, or LPN (sometimes referred to as a licensed vocational nurse). The 12-month time frame for a practical nursing diploma is often a deciding factor for those considering LPN careers versus the two- and four-year Registered Nursing (RN) degree programs. * If this doesn’t interest you, take a look at the statistics. LPN jobs are projected to increase 16 percent by 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That’s just as fast as the growth for RNs and more than twice the national average of 7 percent. Now you know the facts—LPN jobs are growing and Diplomas for these jobs can be earned in about a year. *"

Trump said a “recent poll” showed 25 percent of blacks support him in a hypothetical race against Hillary Clinton. That “recent poll” is actually from September. Six recent polls, all taken in February, show his support ranges from 4 percent to 12 percent. Trump said Republican presidential candidates “usually get about 4 percent or 5 percent” of black support. That was the case in 2008 and 2012, when Barack Obama — the nation’s first black president — was on the ballot. But from 1980 to 2004, the Republican candidate received 8 percent to 12 percent, which is consistent with Trump’s support among blacks. Trump made his remarks on CNN’s “ State of the Union .” Anchor Jake Tapper asked Trump about the Republican’s ability to attract non-white voters in a general election."

Translated and localised by Manga Gamer, this 18+ BL game came to the English speaking audience on February 27th 2015. BL is a genre where male characters romance other male characters. Despite what people may think at first, the genre is less targeted at a male audience (though it does have male fans), and more targeted at a female fan base. Saying that, No, Thank You!!! has made a great effort to attract male fans, even going as far as to create sexual scenes in the form of male- eroge, rather than the slightly sweeter scenes a fujoshi (female BL fan) may expect.

Because it’s an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) position, working as a nurse practitioner means a higher salary, more responsibility, and additional education requirements. Part one What is a Nurse Practitioner? A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse who has additional responsibilities for administering patient care than RNs. What Does A Nurse Practitioner Do? NPs can prescribe medication, examine patients, diagnose illnesses, and provide treatment, much like physicians do. In fact, nurse practitioners have what’s referred to as “full practice authority” in 20 states, meaning that they do not have to work under the supervision of a doctor. In the remaining states, however, while NPs still have more authority than RNs, they must have a medical doctor sign on certain patient care decisions.

"text": "Published: 10:16 AM Nov 03, 2010History of CPR / BLSCPR instruction had early adoption in the form of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in 1740 when the Paris Academy of Sciences officially recommended it for drowning victims. However, CPR as we know it today is comprised of both breaths and chest compressions. It was not until the year 1891 that Dr. Friedrich Maass performed the first documented chest compressions in humans. In 1956, Peter Safar and James Elam invented mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The following year, the U. S. military adopted mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for unresponsive victims. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was officially developed in 1960, the same year that the American Heart Association began a program to teach close-chest cardiac compressions to physicians. A more thorough timeline of the history of CPR has been compiled by the American Heart Association. What is BLS Certification? Basic Life Support training and certification is commonly required of Health Care professionals and other working professionals whose jobs or volunteer positions place them at risk for needing to provide CPR to a co-worker or visitor.

In fact, the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) estimates that 82% of nurse-midwives hold master’s degrees, much higher than the percentage of Americans who hold these advanced degrees. Here are the annual salary ranges for nurse-midwives across the United States:10th percentile: $65,94025th percentile: $82,58050th percentile (median): $96,97075th percentile: $114,09090th percentile: $129,140Starting Salary for Nurse-Midwives Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not track starting salaries, Payscale—a self-report tool for the salaries of professionals—tabulates the experience of those reporting with their salary figures. According the Payscale’s (2015) self-reported data the starting salary—that is, the salary of nurse-midwives with zero to five years of experience—was $81,000 as of May 2015. This was based on 227 entry-level nurse-midwives. The mid-career average (five to ten years of experience) based on 105 individuals moved up to $89,000."

The response was overwhelmingly positive, but we knew there would be questions. The most common by far were: “Will the package be Blu-ray or DVD size?” ( Answer: Blu-ray size, except the Zatoichi box, which will be Blu-ray height in one dimension, DVD height in the other.) “ Will it take up more space on my shelf?” ( Not if we can help it.) And “Is this going to be true forever?” ( Nothing is forever, but as long as it works we’ll keep doing it. ) Those were the easy questions, but we knew there was another, tougher set of questions, because they were the same ones we had wrestled with as we arrived at our decision: “Aren’t you just making DVD customers buy discs they can’t use and Blu-ray customers buy discs they don’t want?"

Trusted Reviews has collected everything you need to know. Xbox One S isn’t a significant upgrade over the Xbox One, but does provide some cool benefits. Owners now have access to HDR support and a 4K blu-ray player, something PS4 Pro sorely left out. To put things simply, if you already own the original console there isn’t much incentive to upgrade. Sure, there’s the addition of HDR and 4K blu-ray support, but you’ll need an impressive 4KTV to make any use of these features. If you don’t already own one, though, it’s definitely worth considering a purchase. However, with Xbox One X out now, it makes things a little more complicated.

Photo © Robert Silva - Licensed to About.comby Robert Silva Updated November 19, 2017NOTICE: HD-DVD was discontinued in 2008. However, information on HD-DVD and its comparison to Blu-ray is still contained in this article for historical purposes, as well as the fact that there are still many HD-DVD player owners, and HD-DVD players and discs continue to be sold and traded on the secondary market. The DVDDVD has been very successful, and will definitely be around for some time. However as implemented, DVD is not a high-definition format. DVD players typically output video in either standard NTSC 480i (720x480 pixels in an interlaced scan format), with progressive scan DVD players capable of outputting DVD video in 480p (720x480 pixels displayed in a progressively scanned format). Although DVD has superior resolution and image quality, when compared to VHS and standard cable television, it is still only half the resolution of HDTV. Upscaling - Getting More Out Of Standard DVDIn an effort to maximize the quality of DVD for display on today's HDTVs, many manufacturers have introduced upscaling capabilities through DVI and/or HDMI output connections on newer DVD players. Upscaling is a process that mathematically matches the pixel count of the output of the DVD signal to the physical pixel count on an HDTV or Ultra HD TV, which may be 1280x720 (720p), 1920x1080 (1080i), 1920x1080p (1080p), or 3840x2160 (4K). The upscaling process does a good job of matching the pixel output of a DVD player to the native pixel display resolution of an HDTV, resulting in better detail and color consistency."

Switching exclusively to a DVD player or a Blu-ray player can make it difficult to view an entire movie collection. The solution is to purchase a Blu-ray and DVD player combination. Electronics manufacturers offer a number of options when it comes to combination devices. Understanding these options and their impact on the overall consumer experience is essential for making an informed decision. While many of the combination devices share certain features like Wi-Fi capacity and app compatibility, some features like 3D are not always included, so it is important for buyers to educate themselves before committing to a purchase. Why Buy a Combination Blu-ray and DVD Player? Combination Blu-ray and DVD player s make it possible for consumers to view all of their movies on one device. More importantly, combination devices come with a number of bonus features that traditional DVD players do not have. Combination devices are not quite as expensive as Blu-ray-only players."

Here's where to go to watch the best 4K content available By Ryan Waniata and Brendan Hesse — Posted on December 12, 2017 - 11:19AMIf you recently bought a 4K Ultra HD television — or you’re thinking about scooping one up — you’ll find yourself on the hunt for the best 4K content to enjoy (and show off) in all of its sweet, eye-popping glory. We’ve got a classic mix of good and bad news for you. The good news is the 4K Ultra HD content pipeline has transitioned from a trickle to a steady flow, and in the next few years it’s going to be more like a rushing river. The bad news is that, for now, some of these sources will be exclusive to certain TV brands or streaming devices, and content is still limited. There is also the factor of HDR (high dynamic range), which offers greater color depth and epic contrast, but isn’t supported via every source. Still, most sources have opened up considerably since launch, making this a great time to consider going all-in on 4K Ultra HD. To save you some hassle, we’ve compiled all current and forthcoming major 4K Ultra HD content sources in one place, with details on pricing, popular titles, and when to expect more. Ultra HD Blu-ray Cost: Ultra HD Blu-ray players run $200 or more; Ultra HD Blu-rays average $14 to $30 per movie. Requirements: 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player, discs, and compatible 4K Ultra HD TV."

In 2006, Blu-ray brought high-definition video to flat-screen TVs everywhere. Now we’ve taken another step forward with the arrival of Ultra HD Blu-ray discs and players. Unlike its predecessor, Blu-ray, there is no competing disc format and thus, no format war. Instead, Ultra HD Blu-ray has to take on another solution entirely: 4K streaming. Similar to previous new formats, Ultra HD Blu-ray adoption has been relatively slow. Even with 4K TVs quickly replacing 1080P TVs on store shelves, Ultra HD Blu-ray still appeals to a relatively small audience – at least for now. But for anyone who wants the best possible picture and sound quality they can get, this new format is exciting. And the best news is: It’s a pretty significant leap forward from 1080p HD, especially when you throw HDR (High Dynamic Range) and WCG (Wide Color Gamut) into the mix, resulting in increased contrast and greater color volume. Of course, with new technology like this comes a whole bunch of conditions and caveats."

In the 1980s, home cinemas typically consisted of a movie pre-recorded on a Laser Disc or VHS tape; a Laser Disc or VHS player; and a heavy, bulky large-screen cathode ray tube TV set. In the 2000s, technological innovations in sound systems, video player equipment and TV screens and video projectors have changed the equipment used in home theatre set-ups and enabled home users to experience a higher-resolution screen image, improved sound quality and components that offer users more options (e.g., many of the more expensive Blu-ray players in 2016 can also \"\"stream\"\" movies and TV shows over the Internet using subscription services such as Netflix ). The development of Internet-based subscription services means that 2016-era home theatre users do not have to commute to a video rental store as was common in the 1980s and 1990s (nevertheless, some movie enthusiasts buy DVD or Blu-ray discs of their favourite content). Today, a home cinema system typically uses a large projected image from a video projector or a large flat-screen high-resolution HDTV system, a movie or other video content on a DVD or high-resolution Blu-ray disc, which is played on a DVD player or Blu-ray player, with the audio augmented with a multi-channel power amplifier and anywhere from two speakers and a stereo power amp (for stereo sound) to a 5.1 channel amplifier and five or more surround sound speaker cabinets (with a surround sound system). Whether home cinema enthusiasts have a stereo set-up or a 5.1 channel surround system, they typically use at least one low-frequency subwoofer speaker cabinet to amplify low-frequency effects from movie soundtracks and reproduce the deep pitches from the musical soundtrack.

Is the overall quality and ease of use similar to that of a real blu ray player or would I be better off just watching blu ray movies on my TV?7 answers Last reply May 21, 2014 Best Answer May 21, 2014More about easy watch blu ray movies Hi Tech Obsessed May 21, 2014, 11:13 AMIf watching Blu-Ray's is the main purpose, a standalone player would be your best bet. You can get a BD drive with software included for around $80, but then you're looking at another couple hundred at least (and maybe an OS) for the rest of the system That price goes up quite a bit if you want to also play games. It depends on how much you're willing to spend to get a 'media center' PC, and what you would classify as good enough for gaming. Best answerboosted1g May 21, 2014, 11:14 AMYes you need the software, they are coded for regional codes and you can not just play a blu-ray disc on a pc, if i could I would just use a drive in my htpc and give away my blu-ray play. As far as quality, if you have the software to play it, and your PC is decent enough then it will be just as good as a dedicated quality blu-ray player. Blu-ray does not require a super computer; integrated graphics on an ivy bridge cpu (even celeron) will handle 1080p just fine."

"text": "\"Now that streaming video-on-demand services like VUDU, Netflix, and i Tunes offer movies at a 1080p resolution, many people have sounded the death knell for the Blu-ray high-definition disc format. Blu-ray may very well be the last mass-market video disc format, but recent sales/rental numbers show that it's still doing pretty well for itself. I love streaming video-on-demand, and I use it all the time for casual movie watching and preschooler entertaining, but I would never give up my Blu-ray player. When it comes to serious movie watching through my home theater system, when I want not only the best A/V experience but the best movie-watching experience, Blu-ray is still the way to go...and here are a few reasons why. 1. Blu-ray still has better video quality Slowly but surely, streaming services are improving the quality of their video streams, with i Tunes, Netflix, Cinema Now, and VUDU all offering video-on-demand titles at a 1080p resolution (Amazon only offers 720p HD, so we will not include their VOD services in this discussion). However, resolution is only part of the story. These services may offer the same resolution as Blu-ray, but they have to use a lot more compression to deliver the content over the Internet, and compression artifacts like banding and softness will hinder picture quality. Ultimately, a large part of the image's quality will depend on the quality of the compression scheme (or codec, like MPEG2, MPEG4, etc.) that's used, and that varies for each service."

"text": "\"Home > GPUs Understanding 8-channel LPCM over HDMI: Why it Matters and Who Supports itby Anand Lal Shimpi on September 17, 2008 2:00 PM ESTPosted in GPUs52 Comments+ Add A Comment In several recent reviews I’ve talked about the importance of supporting 8-channel LPCM over HDMI. More specifically, you’ll see this as a feature listed with AMD’s Radeon HD 4800 series and more recently the 4600 series. Intel has quietly toted 8-channel LPCM support as a feature of its integrated graphics chipsets since the G965, yet I’ve never done a good job explaining what this feature is and why you should even care. Honestly, it took my recent endeavors into the home theater world to really get an understanding for what it is and why it’s important. So without further ado, I present you with a “quick” (in Anand-terms) explanation of what 8-channel LPCM over HDMI is and why it matters. Grab some popcorn. The Necessity: Enabling 8-channel Audio on Blu-ray Discs Movies ship with multi-channel audio tracks so that users with more than two speakers can enjoy what ultimately boils down to surround sound. Audio takes up a lot of space and studios keep trying to pack more data onto discs so most multi-channel movie audio is stored in a compressed format. In the days of DVDs the studios used either Dolby Digital or DTS encoding for their audio tracks, but with Blu-ray (and HD-DVD) the stakes went up. Just as video encoding got an overhaul with the use of H.264 as a compression codec, audio on Blu-ray discs got a facelift of its own."

Do you think another resolution that blu-ray can't support will come out soon? Otherwise, is there any other reason why blu-ray might become obsolete at some point?

Other Types of Discs You Can Play on a Blu-ray Player Blu-ray player manufacturers have also included the ability for their units to playback standard DVDs, and this is expected to continue. This means that your current DVD library is playable on a Blu-ray Disc player. When you play a standard DVD in a Blu-ray Disc player, you can view it at standard DVD resolution or have the player upscale the DVD signal to 720p/1080i/1080p or even 4K mode (some Blu-ray Disc players provide 4K upscaling) that will be a better match for viewing on an HDTV or 4K Ultra HD TV. Also, almost all Blu-ray Disc players will play standard CDs/CD-R/RW discs, and some higher-end players are also compatible with HDCD, SACD, and DVD-Audio discs. Other Disc formats that may be playable on selected Blu-ray Disc players include MP3 CDs, DTS-CDs, JPEG Photo or Kodak Photo CDs, and AVCHD Discs. To find out if a specific Blu-ray player can play one, or more, of the above disc types, check the player's official online product page, or look in the user guide - there should be a page that lists (with format logos) all of the disc formats that the player is, and is not compatible with. A bonus feature available on selected Blu-ray Disc players is the ability to rip audio CDs to a USB flash drive (check user guide for details)."

The answer, it seems, is through genre-hopping. The third season includes a police procedural ( Hated in the Nation ), a romance ( San Junipero ), a haunted house caper ( Playtest) and a candy-coloured social satire ( Nosedive ). And here, for London Spy director Jakob Verbruggen’s episode, Brooker has written a war film. Our hero, played with tongue-tied charm by Malachi Kirby, is an everyman trooper. Fearless, enthusiastic and not given to introspection, Stripe is the model soldier. After he kills a couple of the enemy, the platoon shrink (Michael Kelly) asks him about it. “ How did you feel, emotionally?” A shrug, and a look of blank confusion: “I didn’t. ”Michael Kelly and Malachi Kirby in Men Against Fire Credit: Laurie Sparham/Netflix O f course, it helps when the enemy aren’t really people."

"text": "\"Decimation (Roman army)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Decimation. Etching by William Hogarth in Beaver's Roman Military Punishments (1725)Decimation ( Latin: decimatio; decem = \"\" ten \"\") was a form of military discipline used by senior commanders in the Roman Army to punish units or large groups guilty of capital offences, such as mutiny or desertion. The word decimation is derived from Latin meaning \"\"removal of a tenth\"\". [ 1] The procedure was a pragmatic attempt to balance the need to punish serious offences with the realities of managing a large group of offenders. [ 2]Contents [ hide ]1 Procedure2 Usage3 Post-classical instances4 Current usage of the word5 See also6 References7 External links Procedure [ edit]A cohort (roughly 480 soldiers) selected for punishment by decimation was divided into groups of ten. Each group drew lots ( sortition ), and the soldier on whom the lot fell was executed by his nine comrades, often by stoning or clubbing. The remaining soldiers were often given rations of barley instead of wheat (the latter being the standard soldier's diet) for a few days, and required to camp outside the fortified security of the camp. [ 3]As the punishment fell by lot, all soldiers in a group sentenced to decimation were potentially liable for execution, regardless of individual degrees of fault, rank, or distinction. Usage [ edit]The earliest documented decimation occurred in 471 BC during the Roman Republic 's early wars against the Volsci and is recorded by Livy. In an incident where his army had been scattered, consul Appius Claudius Sabinus Regillensis had the culprits punished for desertion: centurions, standard-bearers and soldiers who had cast away their weapons were individually scourged and beheaded, while of the remainder, one in ten were chosen by lot and executed.

Contributors: Dana Driscoll, Allen Brizee Last Edited: 2011-05-10 04:18:44Some modifying elements of a sentence are essential, restricting the meaning of a modified term, while others are nonessential and don't restrict the modified term's meaning. These nonessential elements, which can be words, phrases, or clauses, are set off with commas. Rule: Use commas before and after nonessential words, phrases, and clauses, that is, elements embedded in the sentence that interrupt it without changing the essential meaning. If you leave out the element or put it somewhere else in the sentence, does the essential meaning of the sentence change? If so, the element is essential; if not, it is nonessential.

The sender was Harry Cressman, father of Tom Cressman, the man their daughter brutally bludgeoned and stabbed to death almost 10 years ago, apparently because he had refused to marry her. This week their daughter Jane Andrews, former dresser to the Duchess of York, absconded from an open prison and was discovered in a Premier Inn on the M20. Her parents and brother Jonathan were at her side. Jane Andrews' parents, David and June Andrews Her other brother Mark was not present at this unconventional reunion. This is hardly surprising. In her 2002 appeal, Andrews accused him of sexually abusing her as a child, an allegation that was dismissed by three judges as “totally unreliable” but which has understandably had a destructive impact on her family. Her elderly parents find themselves in a difficult position, torn between their natural love for their daughter and the horror of her crime. Perhaps the most amazing part of this story is the revelation by the brother of the murder victim that his father Harry Cressman, a Birmingham businessman and former Aston Villa director who died last year, still sent the Andrews family a Christmas card."

"text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture First Silent Film: The Great Train Robbery Share Flipboard Email Print Picture Post/Stringer/Moviepix/Getty Imagesby Jennifer Rosenberg Updated April 07, 2017Produced by Thomas Edison but directed and filmed by Edison Company employee Edwin S. Porter, the 12-minute-long silent film, The Great Train Robbery (1903), was the first narrative movie, one that told a story. The Great Train Robbery's popularity led directly to the opening up of permanent movie theaters and the possibility of a future film industry. What Was The Great Train Robbery About? The Great Train Robbery is both an action film and a classic Western, with four bandits who rob a train and its passengers of their valuables and then make their grand escape only to be killed in a shootout by a posse sent after them. Interestingly, the film does not spare on violence as there are both several shootouts and one man, the fireman, being bludgeoned with a piece of coal. Surprising to many audience members was the special effect of throwing the bludgeoned man off the tender, over the side of the train (a dummy was used). Also first seen in The Great Train Robbery was a character forcing a man to dance by shooting at his feet -- a scene that has often been repeated in later Westerns. To the audience's fear and then delight, there was a scene in which the leader of the outlaws (Justus D. Barnes) looks directly at the audience and fires his pistol at them. ( This scene appeared either at the beginning or at the end of the f ilm, a decision left up to the operator. ) New Editing Techniques The Great Train Robbery not only was the first narrative film, it also introduced several new editing techniques."

New International Version This morning, our subject is the bludgeonings of chance and I think many of you will recognize that phrase. That title comes from the well known poem by William Henley which many of you learned in school, Invictus. You remember how it starts,Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. We’re not going to dwell on the philosophy of that poem which is thoroughly devilish, but I am struck by this phrase, the bludgeonings of chance as a very apt expression of those unwelcome intrusions that coming into our life force us suddenly to change our plans. Shakespeare calls them the slings and arrows of outrageous fate and who of us has not experienced them from time to time. Have you ever planned a trip and just as you were ready to leave, a few hours or so before, the baby comes down with mumps. Or you plan a quiet evening at home hoping to relax and read a good book perhaps, and your relatives show up with seven kids in tow."

In many cultures, they are highly symbolic of law enforcement and are rarely used with the intention to kill. A truncheon or baton may be used in many ways as a weapon. It can be used defensively to block; offensively to strike, jab, or bludgeon; and it can aid in the application of armlocks."

"text": "Invictus Explanation (Note: Do leave a comment if there is something you haven’t quite understood)Invictus, meaning “unconquerable” or “undefeated” in Latin, is a poem by William Ernest Henley. The poem was written while Henley was in the hospital being treated for tuberculosis of the bone, also known as Pott’s disease. He had had the disease since he was very young, and his foot had been amputated shortly before he wrote the poem. This poem is about courage in the face of death, and holding on to one’s own dignity despite the indignities life places before us. I will take you through the poem, and explain it stanzas by stanza to give you a clear idea of what the poem is trying to tell you. The poem itself is very simple in form and devices, and as such comes as a relief in a time where flowery and ambiguous writing ran wild. To start off a little bit about the Background of the Poem. Background: At the age of 12, Henley contracted tuberculosis of the bone. A few years later, the disease progressed to his foot, and physicians announced that the only way to save his life was to amputate directly below the knee. It was amputated when he was 17."

"text": "Quora User Answered May 12, 2013The khopesh shape offers no special advantage over a standard curved sword, and indeed, the forward balance of it can result in twisting during a cut. You will notice that there are very few sword designs in history for which the balance point is placed ahead of the cut, for this reason (the recurve yataghan and Greek kopis are some of those rare examples, and neither is as extreme as a khopesh). The extreme shape also means that more material is needed to make a sword of a given overall length, which is a disadvantage both for handling/reach and resources. Oh, and the shape also increased its rotational inertia, making it slightly slower to change direction between cuts. It evolved out of axes (explaining the shape and the favored chopping action) and was originally bronze or later iron. Once steel surpassed those materials, however, simpler-shaped blades (that were easier to make and which didn't waste as much material unnecessarily) became favored. These new blades also had an advantage in use which was their agility in slashing / cutting rather than abrupt/committed chopping. Finally, the khopesh is just an awkward weapon to store and carry compared to a straight or slightly curved sword.7.2k Views · View Upvoters Thank you for your feedback!Your response is private.

By Noel Murray October 24, 2016Should The Walking Dead fans really have been shocked by who died in the Season Seven premiere? Looking back, the outcome was obvious. Jeffrey Dean Morgan – who plays Negan, the murderous leader of post-apocalyptic ravagers known as \"\"the Saviors\"\" – hinted in interviews over the summer that he might be killing more than one character when the show came back from its Season Six cliffhanger. And as readers of the comics know, at this point in the story, both Abraham and Glenn are gone. Abraham catches an arrow through the head in The Walking Dead #98; and Glenn gets bludgeoned by Negan's spiked baseball bat in the infamous issue #100.

However, I only recommend products that I personally love and use myself!. We have talked a lot already about essential oil safety, including safety with babies and children, but I have yet to cover essential oil safety for pregnant and nursing mothers. Today we are going to go over this topic, and explore the essential oils that are safe to use while pregnant or nursing, as well as ways to use them for specific pregnancy symptoms. Essential oils have shown to be safe and helpful during pregnancy The topic of essential oil use during pregnancy is a bit of a controversial issue, mainly because there hasn’t been a lot of studies done on the topic ( it can be difficult to find a safe methodology of testing with pregnant women and the infants that they are carrying). Essential oils have been used for over 25 years by midwives, doulas, nurses, and mothers-to-be and have shown no harm to the mother or baby. In fact Jane Buckle, RN (Buckle, 2015) states;“There are no records of abnormal fetuses or aborted fetuses as a result of the normal use of essential oils, either by inhalation or by topical application. ”When used properly, essential oils are very safe for use during pregnancy and can help the expectant mother through all sorts of pregnancy symptoms, including nausea/vomiting, swelling of ankles and muscle spasms, insomnia, stress, and more! See down below for some suggestions for common ailments during pregnancy. Essential oil basics when you are pregnant or nursing If used safely and with care, essential oils have proven to be very helpful at aiding women through the physical and mental trials and tribulations of pregnancy. These are some of the basic rules to follow when using essential oils while pregnant or nursing: Ingestion should be avoided during pregnancy and while nursing – While topical applications and diffusion are both safe routes to use essential oils while you are pregnant or nursing, many essential oils can be toxic to the baby if ingested."

It's said to help regulate blood flow and alleviate menstrual problems, detoxify and decongest the lymphatic system, reduce water retention, and relax muscles.

Cypress oil comes from Cupressus sempervirens, a deciduous, evergreen tree that can be identified by its dark green foliage, small flowers, and round brown-gray cones with seed nuts inside. 2, 3It's native to Southern Europe, but has spread to North Africa and North America.

Posted: March 10, 2010 by Cristina Proano-Carrion Owing to stress and stagnant lifestyles, more and more couples are falling prey to infertility every day. What follows is a rigorous treatment involving hormones and other medication which causes a lot of stress to the mind and body. Being unable to conceive causes immense anxiety and frustration which only grows with time – this worsens the hormonal imbalance and further reduces a woman’s chances of becoming a mother. I can relate to the feeling as I have been through the same dilemma 16 years ago when I was trying to get pregnant. After 4 years of incessant but failed attempts, I created an essential oil blend based on my knowledge of aromatherapy . My husband and I used this fertility aromatherapy blend during couple massage sessions. The essential oils played an important role in restoring our hormonal balance and within a month, I was on my way to motherhood! Essential oils have helped me in every phase of pregnancy and for many years after that."

It’s true. The hinoki tree, also known as the Japanese cypress, is one of the most versatile trees known to man. The flowers, the twigs, the wood, practically every part of the tree has a scientific use but the most important use of all is providing us with hinoki essential oil. This oil is simply amazing. It has a unique lemon-like scent and a pinkish-brown color that makes people fall in love with it instantly.

Because of their antidepressant, stimulating, detoxifying, antibacterial, antiviral and calming properties, essential oils are recently gaining popularity as a natural, safe and cost-effective therapy for a number of health concerns. There’s no wonder why, considering the high cost of healthcare bills and the side effects of conventional medications, adding essential oils to your personal medicine cabinet can make a world of difference. This is especially true because essential oils benefits are vast and their uses range from aromatherapy, household cleaning products, personal beauty care and natural medicine treatments. The particles in essential oils come from distilling or extracting the different parts of plants, including the flowers, leaves, bark, roots, resin and peels. In fact, just one drop of an essential oil can have powerful health benefits. Typically created through the process of distillation — which separates the oil and water-based compounds of a plant by steaming — essential oils are highly concentrated oils that have a strong aroma. In fact, sometimes they are called volatile aromatic oils because of their high concentration of the aromatic compounds. ( 1)By concentrating the oils of these plants, you are literally separating the most powerful healing compounds of a plant into a single oil. So, are you ready to harness the power of the world’s most proven therapeutic compounds?"

Beware of anyone who tells you to ingest essential oils either by putting a few drops in your water or putting them into a capsule. The only cases of death, organ failure and hospitalization in the history of aromatherapy have been caused by ingesting essential oils. It is THAT dangerous. Another dangerous practice many dōTERRA and Young Living representatives teach is to apply essential oils undiluted directly on your skin. Please don’t. I am so passionate about the safe use of essential ones that I dedicated an entire chapter to it in my book The Art, Science and Business of Aromatherapy . I decided to share a section Chapter 10 in response to the overwhelming number of people I am hearing from who are being taught to ingest essential oils and use them undiluted. Please share with your friends and family. Keep aromatherapy safe."

The limbic system also referred to as a “cerebral structure”. The limbic system supports several brain functions including adrenaline stimulation, behavior, motivation, emotion, olfaction (sense of smell) and long term memory. The limbic system also influences the endocrine system and autonomic nervous system (things that happen automatically like your heart beating at a certain rate and going up or down based on different situations). Being that the emotions are seated in the limbic system they have much to do with memories being formed."

The term, ectrodactyly comes from the Greek word “ektroma”, meaning abortion and “daktylos”, meaning finger. Essentially, ectrodactyly literally translates to the abortion of a finger. In the medical field however, ectrodactyly is otherwise known as split hand/split foot malformation or SHFM. It is a relatively rare congenital limb malformation wherein there is absence or deficiency of one or more central fingers or toes in the hand or foot. This central absence of fingers or toes is mainly because of the absence of the central rays. Moreover, the condition is also accompanied by fusion of the remaining peripheral digits. There may also be instances where metacarpals, metatarsals and phalanges are affected with aplasia/hypoplasia. Due to these circumstances, the appearance of ectrodactyly very much resembles that of a lobster’s claw that is why the condition is also widely dubbed as the “lobster claw syndrome”.

In this situation, there may not be enough oxygen being carried to the tissues in the body. The colour is caused by high levels of reduced (deoxygenated) hemoglobin in the blood near the surface of the skin. Hemoglobin is the molecule that allows red blood cells to carry oxygen. Oxygenated hemoglobin is bright red, while deoxygenated hemoglobin is bluish. There are two main categories of cyanosis: central and peripheral.

There may be a lot we don’t know, but here are a few interesting facts that we’ve got covered. 1. Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour. Ever wonder how you can react so fast to things around you or why that stubbed toe hurts right away?

How to deal with Raynaud's syndrome this winter Recurring anaemia26 November 2014Question When it's cold my fingers (and sometimes toes depending on my shoes) turn white and 'puffy' and stiff. They hurt too. My thumbs are never affected. Also, I feel the cold quite badly – my hands and feet are always cold – and even in ‘mild’ weather I wear a coat. Am I just oversensitive or could there be a reason for both conditions? Answer It sounds very much to me as if you have a common condition known as Raynaud's disease. Where the tiny arteries in the periphery of the body, notably the fingers, toes and even ear lobes are unduly reactive to even moderate degrees of cold weather and go into severe spasm. This typically produces attacks of pallor, numbness and discomfort in the fingers. It is not actually a disease as such, more an intense sensitivity to cool weather, but the typical symptoms on exposure are very similar to those that you experience."

"text": "How to Treat a Baby Teething Rash Leave a reply Teething/ Drooling rash A baby starts teething around 5-6 months old, when the lower middle tooth (also known as incisor) starts coming out. As the tooth keeps pushing against the gums, the baby will feel very irritated, and will soon start waking up in the middle of the night, crying. Other signs of the baby teething are like biting everything within their reach, and drooling a lot. It is due to this excessive drooling, the saliva overflows and accumulates within the baby’s skin folds, soaking the skin. Thus, babies get what is known as teething or drooling rash. This rash can be usually seen around the lips, on the cheeks, the neck, and even on the chest. When the saliva is wiped, it appears to be dry and red in colour, giving it an angry appearance. Depending on the severity, the skin is sometimes thickened, and the top layer seems to be splitting apart with a bad odour. With the teething process and the rash, it can cause immense pain to the baby. To soothe this rash, the main thing is to control the drooling."

The drug may also be used off-label to help people who suffer from narcolepsy (a sleep disorder). Focalin is in a class of drugs known as central nervous system stimulants. It works by increasing levels of the neurotransmitters, norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. This medication was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2005 and is manufactured by Novartis. Focalin Warnings The federal government requires that Focalin carry a black-box warning because the drug can be habit-forming and should be used very carefully by people who have a history of substance abuse. You shouldn't take more Focalin than your doctor prescribes. If you do take too much, you may notice that the drug no longer controls symptoms. Don't stop taking Focalin without first talking to your doctor, especially if you overuse the medicine. You may develop severe depression if you stop taking the drug suddenly."

"text": "Origin of the Name Jones The origin of the name Jones was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. Jones is a baptismal name meaning the son of Jone or Johan, a very old personal name. Variants include Joneson. This name is of Welsh Descent spreading to England, Ireland and Scotland in early times, and is found in many mediaeval manuscripts throughout the above countries. Examples of such are a Matilda Jones, of County Huningdontshire, who was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls', England, in the year 1273 and a Richard Joneson who was recorded in the 'Poll Tax' of the West Riding of Yorkshire in the year 1379. A Walter Jones, County Somerset, was recorded in 'Kirby's Quest' in the reign of Edward III and a Jane Joneson, of Audlem, was recorded in the 'Wills at Chester', in the year 1594. In the fourteenth century Johan stood for both Johannes and Johanna. This being awkward, the masculine took the form of Jon and the feminine Jone. In Ireland the name is numerous throughout the four Provinces having been introduced from Wales centuries ago. The Gaelic form of the name is Mac Seoin."

[ 2] In the popular mind they have come to symbolise the nation of England, although according to heraldic usage nations do not bear arms, only persons and corporations do. [ 3] The blazon of the Arms of Plantagenet is: Gules, three lions passant guardant in pale or armed and langued azure, [4] [5] signifying three identical gold lions (also known as leopards) with blue tongues and claws, walking past but facing the observer, arranged in a column on a red background. Although the tincture azure of tongue and claws is not cited in many blazons, they are historically a distinguishing feature of the Arms of England. This coat, designed in the High Middle Ages, has been variously combined with those of the Kings of France, Scotland, a symbol of Ireland, the House of Nassau and the Kingdom of Hanover, according to dynastic and other political changes occurring in England, but has not altered since it took a fixed form in the reign of Richard I (1189–1199), the second Plantagenet king. Although in England the official blazon refers to \"\"lions\"\", French heralds historically used the term \"\"leopard\"\" to represent the lion passant guardant, and hence the arms of England, no doubt, are more correctly blazoned, \"\"leopards\"\"."

Every family name, no matter how significant their stature, history or surname, has its own distinctive crest! These family crests are laden with symbolism. For a number of years now, we have been creating Irish family crest jewelry. I have engraved everything from family crest pendants and cufflinks to totally unique Irish family crest rings. I love working on these pieces and it’s so lovely to think that hundreds of Irish jewelry pieces I’ve created here in our silversmith workshop in County Cork, is being worn with pride by Irish all around the world. So, I recently decided to do further research into most common Irish family names and Celtic family crests. Since we engrave so many different types of crests, I wanted to gain a better understanding of what each of these emblems and elements meant. The cufflinks and other pieces of Irish jewelry we handcraft here are worn often as family heirlooms so it was really important for me that I fully understand the true significance of these symbol in order to do them justice when engraving. So below I’ve shared tips for you to identify what the most common family crest symbols mean along with a directory of the most common Irish surnames."

The name of town was derived from early patents to Dutch settlers: Nis-ti-go-wo-ne or Co-nis-tig-i-one, both derived from the Mohawk language. The 19th-century historians Howell and Munsell mistakenly identified Conistigione as an Indian tribe, but they were a band of Mohawk people known by the term for this location. The original meaning of the words translate roughly as \"\"extensive corn flats\"\", as the Mohawk for centuries cultivated maize fields in the fertile bottomlands along today's Mohawk River. [ 4] They were the easternmost of the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy.

Heraldry, as we understand it today, originated around the middle of the twelfth century, coinciding (in Sicily and in England) with Norman rule, but it may not have been an explicitly \"\"Norman\"\" development. It is generally believed that coats of arms originated as little more than identifying insignia, so that heralds could distinguish the helmeted knight by the design painted on his shield, just as the knight himself, whose face was concealed by his helmet, could distinguish friend from foe in the heat of battle."

Al Kirsch, 13 June 2002I have heard, but can't remember the source, that the crescent originated from a remnant of a knights armor. British officers wore a metal crescent, often silver or gold plated on their chests, left over from a protective piece of armor over the heart area. General Cornwallis can be seen wearing this in the movie \"\"The Patriot\"\" and I have seen actual pieces in the national park museums at forts in South Carolina and Georgia. It has been reported that their appearance is from a cap device worn by South Carolina troops in the revolutionary war, but the origin of the cap device is probably from the uniform decoration. Michael P. Smuda, 19 June 2002I believe the metal crescent you refer to is called a gorget. However, a number of websites say the 1775 South Carolina flag designed by Moultrie was preceded by a 1765 blue flag with 3 crescents used during the protests against the Stamp Act. I could not find an explanation of why that was chosen. For example, see home.freeuk.com/gazkhan/blank_state.htm and www.enchantedlearning.com/usa/states/southcarolina/ and www.palmettopages.com/sc/facts/flag.html."

They’re common in urban and suburban areas, especially where oaks or bird feeders are found. Back to top Food Blue Jays glean insects and take nuts and seeds in trees, shrubs, and on the ground; they also eat grains. They also take dead and injured small vertebrates. Blue Jays sometimes raid nests for eggs and nestlings, and sometimes pick up dead or dying adult birds. Stomach contents over the year are about 22 percent insect. Acorns, nuts, fruits, and grains made up almost the entire remainder. Of 530 stomachs examined, traces of bird eggs and nestlings were found in only 6 stomachs, although a search was specially made for every possible trace of bird remains. Blue Jays hold food items in feet while pecking them open. They store food in caches to eat later."

There are a lot of wonderful breeds out there that can be great companions to individuals suffering from allergies. No dog can be truly hypoallergenic, because every dog produces some kind of dander. Dander doesn't just come from fur, but it is also found in skin, urine and saliva. You could consider dander to be “pet pollen”. However the dogs on this list are known for producing small amounts of dander, thus most allergy sufferers do not have reactions. However different people have different allergies. Because you are allergic to one dog, doesn’t mean you will be allergic to all dogs. Although many Designer Breeds (such as Labradoodles) are often touted as being hypoallergenic, there is little evidence that this is so. The level of dander and shedding in mixed breeds is not consistent and can’t be predicted."

The smallest is the talapoin, with a head and body 34–37 cm in length, and weighing between 0.7 and 1.3 kilograms, while the largest is the male mandrill (the females of the species being significantly smaller), at around 70 cm in length, and weighing up to 50 kilograms.

Technically, the distinction of catarrhines from platyrrhines depends on the structure of the nose, and the distinction of Old World monkeys from apes depends on dentition (the number of teeth is the same in both, but they are shaped differently)."

Examples of such are a Matilda Jones, of County Huningdontshire, who was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls', England, in the year 1273 and a Richard Joneson who was recorded in the 'Poll Tax' of the West Riding of Yorkshire in the year 1379.

The leather breeches are worn inside tall leather boots known as jackboots. BLUF is a part of a larger leather subculture and the sexual aesthetic is similar to the exaggerated masculinity seen in the work of Tom of Finland. Members share interest in leather fetishism, boot fetishism, and uniform fetishism. Some wear leather uniforms reminiscent of German World War II era uniforms, but without the Nazi regalia or embracement of NSDAP politics. The other common uniforms worn are those of American style police motorcycle patrol and German police. Membership is open to men of all races and nationalities above the age of consent in members' home countries. BLUF began as an Internet site in 1997 but has evolved to a series of in-person meets and events regularly scheduled in European and North American cities. Members frequently plan vacation time around, and travel to, international meetings. A majority of members live in northern Europe, primarily Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Sweden ; and North America, but members are also found in Asia, Central America, South America and Africa."

"text": "Don’t go there. A BLUF is a military acronym and literary device that stands for “Bottom Line Up Front.” At the outset of my military career my instructors taught me that good writing should get right to the point, and state the essential recommendation, action or conclusion in the first paragraph of the paper. Following the BLUF are the detailed arguments supporting the conclusion or recommendation. In military writing use of the BLUF was mandatory to save time, frame the discussion, and make sure the writer does not wander about aimlessly. All writing should have a clear purpose and a good writer stays on point. Military instructors taught me that if you couldn’t state the purpose of the paper in the first paragraph (a variation on the thesis statement in academic writing) then you should pause and think about why you are writing until you can. Writing is about communicating, and results oriented writing focuses on understanding the mission and the desired end state. I happen to think that using a BLUF as a literary device works just fine in almost all business writing. Business is always focused on the “Bottom Line,” and good leaders get to the point quickly and stay focused on the bottom line."

It is also sometimes known as Jokers and Pegs. Some board designs use marbles instead of pegs as the playing pieces in which case it may be called Marbles and Jokers or Jokers and Marbles. Pegs and Jokers is clearly derived ultimately from the Indian race game Pachisi, a race game using dice for movement, pprobably via its American derivative Sorry!, in which pawns are moved according to cards drawn from a special deck. Pegs and Jokers is a partnership game played with standard playing-cards on boards that are generally home-made. It allows extra scope for strategy by giving players a choice of cards to play. Each player has five pegs, and the winners are the first team to move all their pegs from their START area to their HOME areas.

"text": "Business Ethics First published Thu Nov 17, 2016A business is a productive organization—an organization whose purpose is to create goods and services for sale, usually at a profit. Business is also an activity. One entity (e.g., a person, an organization) “does business” with another when it exchanges a good or service for valuable consideration. Business ethics can thus be understood as the study of the ethical dimensions of productive organizations and commercial activities. This includes ethical analyses of the production, distribution, marketing, sale, and consumption of goods and services (see also Donaldson & Walsh 2015). Questions in business ethics are important and relevant to everyone. This is because almost all of us “do business”—i.e., engage in a commercial transaction—almost every day. Moreover, many of us spend a major portion of our lives engaged in, or preparing to engage in, productive activity, on our own or as part of productive organizations. Business activity shapes the world we live in, sometimes for good and sometimes for ill."

( March 2018)Tilt is a poker term for a state of mental or emotional confusion or frustration in which a player adopts a less than optimal strategy, usually resulting in the player becoming over- aggressive. This term is closely associated with \"\" steam \"\" and some consider the terms equivalent, although steam typically carries more anger and intensity. Placing an opponent on tilt or dealing with being on tilt oneself is an important aspect of poker. It is a relatively frequent occurrence due to frustration, animosity against other players, or simply bad luck. Experienced players recommend learning to recognize that one is experiencing tilt and avoid allowing it to influence one’s play."

"text": "How To Play Poker Tutorial History – How To Play – Rules – Odds – Strategy – Pro Perspective Poker is a competitive card game among several players. In this game, the dealer will not interfere with the gameplay; he or she will just deal the cards, monitor gameplay, and ensure the winner of each hand receives the pot. The casinos or poker venues make money by taking a percentage of the pot or charging players a fee; this is called the rake. Of course, some versions of poker have been adapted to become casino games where players play against the dealer who is representing the house or the casino, but these are not the original poker games that are widely known and played by millions. There are different versions of poker, but they all share the same primary concept, namely to beat your opponents via either having the best hand when it’s time for a showdown or to deceive them via a bluff – even with inferior holdings – and be the last person standing in the hand. The showdown occurs at the end of a hand, where the remaining players will show their holdings; the highest poker hand will win the pot. Poker can vary with the dealing order, the betting system, the stakes of play, whether you’re playing in cash game or tournament format, and the wagering rounds between the dealing procedures. To master the game of poker and the poker rankings, follow the tutorial to help you understand the game and its rules. This tutorial includes the history of the game, the rules, the odds, and the strategy. It will help you obtain a better grasp of the game on a more professional level."

"text": "\"Philip Sowels/Future Publishing Comcast, my cable company, has an annoying habit of unexpectedly raising my bill for cable internet service. When I moved to the Washington, DC, area in 2013, I signed up for Comcast's Xfinity broadband service at an introductory rate of $41.99 per month. In January, the price went up to $57.99. Then, in May, my bill went up again — to $74.95. That was almost double the rate I had signed up for. Economists call this strategy price discrimination. Basic economics suggests that companies can increase their profits if they charge different customers different amounts. \"\" It pays to play hardball\"\"Starting out with a low introductory rate and then gradually raising prices helps Comcast get as much money as possible out of each customer. As a long-time Comcast customer, I knew that if I called and threatened to cancel, the cable giant would likely offer me a discount. But I wanted to know more."

"text": "\"‘Orange Is The New Black’ Season 3 Spoilers: Episode Title List Released Online By Megan Schaefer On 09/12/14 AT 1:37 PM“Orange is the New Black” is set to have an even raunchier Season 3 when the hit Netflix series returns in June 2015. And here we were thinking that there was no way Jenji Kohan could top the Season 2 premiere scene of a dog licking peanut butter off of Big Boo’s unmentionables. However, the recently released Season 3 episode titles will make last season look like a G-rated movie: Episode 1 – “It's the Great Blumpkin, Charlie Brown”Episode 2 – \"\"I'm a B---- Because I'm Sad”Episode 3 – \"\"Sometimes Bad Things Happen to Bad People\"\"Episode 4 – \"\"The Great Hate F---\"\"Episode 5 – \"\"Kids: Yum!”Episode 6 – \"\"Offended But Okay\"\"Episode 7 – \"\"Back to the Rape Well\"\"Episode 8 – \"\"Use Your Tears as Lube\"\"Episode 9 – \"\"Heroin Robin Hood\"\"Episode 10 – \"\"The Rapiest Pap Smear\"\"Episode 11 – \"\"Gay Feet”Episode 12 – \"\"Never-ending Rumspringa\"\"Episode 13 – \"\"Hot for Janitor\"\"Episode 14 - \"\"Great Service, Lovely Scent”The eye-widening titles for all 14 Season 3 episodes have been released by Laura Prepon, who plays Alex Vause on “OITNB,” via Instagram. Recently Prepon announced that she would be returning to the Netflix original series as a Season 3 regular, which tickled our fancy considering she made a scarce appearance in the sophomore series, only featured in two episodes.lauraprepon Verified Follow Comment Save22,025 likes47 months ago Instagram But don’t worry, Vause-lovers, because you’ll get your fill from Piper’s ex-girlfriend when she appears in every episode of Season 3. “ I’m really excited because I missed everybody so much during season 2,” Prepon said during an interview with “The Today Show” in June, explaining her recurring role in upcoming season. “ But yeah, we started shooting yesterday, and it’s awesome, so I can’t wait to get back to work. ”Originally it was believed that the third season would only have 13 episodes like the previous two but after the leaked episode titles it looks like viewers can expect another episode to be added! The more “Orange Is The New Black” the merrier, right? In typical “OITNB” form episode titles are usually taken from lines of the script. Can you guess which character from Season 3 will be saying the episode titles in their lines?"

It’s bad enough trying to come up with a catchy beer name to make your product stand out…but with THAT many breweries in America, you also have to think long and hard about what to name your ale factory. You could go with the tried and true method and just name your brewery after local geography (Russian River, Fire Mountain, French Broad). Or you could name the brewery after yourself (Bell’s, F. X. Matt). But those names don’t always “pop”. Now I know what you’re thinking…who gives a shit? Fair point. But just like beer names and beer labels, your brewery’s name IS an important marketing tool.

Its hard to know when to use the best one. Or when to use a primer at all. Now there is even Paint and Primer in One. Why Use a Primer? – Simple. The primer allows for the top coat to dry like it was intended to. When the topcoat dries by the liquids soaking in to the surface, this pulls out the solvents in the wrong way and the paint dries too fast. Also the solvents that soak into the drywall typically damage the drywall. Primers meant for drywall don’t have solvents that mess with the drywall so much."

Lethal damage > Active Critical damage > Serious damage > Normal damage If there are several active types of damage present on the vehicle - the first priority damage awards “aircraft destroyed” award, and the remainder receive assist if the damage inflicted by them occurs 30 seconds before its destruction (with the exception of a critical hit). Repairing an aircraft removes all active damage from it. In the case of players inflicting damage with equal priority and the enemy crashing - the destroyed aircraft is credited to the player who inflicted the damage last. In all cases listed below - a bail from the aircraft counts as an aircraft crash. Lethal damage – is damage which makes it impossible to restore an aircraft and return to the battle. Lethal damage will be allocated from the following; fuel explosion, tail structure being severed or a pilot's death. In some cases also when a wing is being sheared. If Lethal damage is inflicted, then the player causing it instantly gets an aircraft destroyed credit and all the rest of the players who damaged the enemy aircraft for the previous 30 seconds will receive an \"\"assist\"\"."

"text": "Shelley Dennis—Getty Images By Mandy Oaklander April 17, 2015TIME Health For more, visit TIME Health. Popping Tylenol to soothe an ache is second nature to many of us. But what do you take for heartache? A new pair of studies suggests that the painkiller might blunt responses to emotional pain, too. In one study, researchers from the Ohio State University Medical Center gave 80 people either a placebo or 1,000 mg of acetaminophen —the active ingredient in Tylenol and the equivalent of two extra-strength Tylenol. After waiting an hour for it to kick in, the researchers showed them a series of emotional images on a computer screen and had them rate how much emotion they felt from each picture: from happy images like cute, cuddly kittens to negative images like gory car accidents and snakes, to neutral images like a filing cabinet. Study author Baldwin M. Way, Ph D, assistant professor in the department of psychology and Institute for Behavioral medicine Research at the Ohio State University, says he was surprised by what he saw. “ It turned out Tylenol blunted that or reduced that by about 20% compared to people who were on placebo rating the same images,” Way says. The next step was to figure out if the drug was blunting responses to absolutely everything—or just emotional responses. They repeated the experiment testing reactions to color saturation."

"title": "http://www.wisegeekhealth.com/what-is-a-blunted-affect.htm\nWhat is a Blunted Affect?",
"text": "\"Blunted affect is the failure of a person to display emotion in a culturally-appropriate way. While it is not considered to be a psychiatric disorder in and of itself, it can be a symptom of several known disorders, including post- traumatic stress syndrome, schizophrenia, depression, and various autistic spectrum disorders. During a psychological evaluation, an observed blunted affect can help steer the clinician to a diagnosis. A blunted affect can be a sign of a mental disorder, and a person's failure to express emotion in what is considered to be a \"\"normal\"\" fashion can be confusing to others. It is important to note, however, that an appropriate affect is often culturally based. Some cultures frown upon excessive expressions of emotion and consider self control, even of one's facial expressions, to be a sign of maturity. When a mental health clinician evaluates a patient, the patient's affect, or how they externally express their emotions, is usually carefully observed. Patients who do not display emotions appropriately may be diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder if they have other symptoms that correspond with that disorder. The reasons for a blunted affect can vary considerably. This has often been observed in soldiers who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder; mental health professionals often note that the trauma of war can result in the solider attempting to disassociate from what he has experienced."

Ecchymosis is a clinical manifestation characterized by reddish to bluish sometimes purple discoloration of the skin which results from the rupture of small capillaries beneath the integument and accumulation of blood in the surrounding tissues. It is commonly referred to as bruises or contusion and sometimes the term is interchangeably used with the word hematoma. This condition starts with an injury; the initial response is the appearance of red patches in the injured site. Few days after, as the injury slowly heals, the color gradually changes its color from red to blue or purple skin discoloration then followed slowly changes to green, followed by yellow, which indicates full recovery from the injury. Then the spots will slowly change its color into brown or take on the skin color. This condition may appear on the skin and mucous membranes. Patients experiencing this clinical manifestation may or may not feel pain on the affected area but about majority of those manifesting this symptom claimed to have experienced acute pain over the affected area. Ecchymosis Symptoms The condition does not really present a number of symptoms but in general the following are the most common symptoms observed from a person suffering from this condition: Presence of reddish to bluish skin discoloration usually having the diameter of more than 1 inch in the site affected."

The 54-year-old actor is wearing a Hugo Boss suit complete with waistcoat, and the unmistakeable air of contented exhaustion that comes with a new baby. He has done this before – he has three teenage children with his first wife, Kate, who died of breast cancer in 2009 – and so he is wise enough to know that new parenthood will always have the power to knock the wind out of you. ‘ It’s the toughest job in the world,’ he says, chugging back a double espresso in a private room at Quo Vadis. ‘ I haven’t forgotten the tiredness, the months and months without sleep. ’His wife, the British literary agent Felicity Blunt, 33, insisted that the couple attend NCT classes near their home in southwest London. The idea of this Hollywood star – he is in The Hunger Games, played Meryl Streep’s husband in Julie & Julia, and was nominated for an Oscar for his chilling performance as a serial killer in The Lovely Bones – turning up to a dilapidated church hall in suburban London to learn about the finer, gorier details of childbirth tickles me.

It is a depiction of the Second Coming of Christ and the final and eternal judgment by God of all humanity. The souls of humans rise and descend to their fates, as judged by Christ who is surrounded by prominent saints. Altogether there are over 300 figures, with nearly all the males and angels originally shown as nudes; many were later partly covered up by painted draperies, of which some remain after recent cleaning and restoration. The work took over four years to complete between 1536 and 1541 (preparation of the altar wall began in 1535). Michelangelo began working on it twenty-five years after having finished the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and was nearly 67 at its completion. [ 2] Michelangelo originally accepted the commission from Pope Clement VII, but it was completed under Pope Paul III, whose stronger reforming views probably affected the final treatment. [ 3]In the lower part of the fresco, Michelangelo followed tradition in showing the saved ascending at the left and the damned descending at the right. In the upper part, the inhabitants of Heaven are joined by the newly saved. The fresco is more monochromatic than the ceiling frescoes and is dominated by the tones of flesh and sky."

A number of causes and symptoms can help doctors identify and treat the condition quickly. The most common cause is a traumatic injury to the chest, such as a puncture wound from a broken rib or blunt force injury resulting from a car accident. People may experience different symptoms depending on the progression of the hemothorax. Diagnosing hemothorax may involve both a physical examination and an imaging test. Treatment of this serious condition involves stabilizing the patient if they have been injured, removing all of the blood in the chest, and stopping the source of the bleeding. Fast facts on hemothorax: Hemothorax either stems from an extrapleural injury or an intrapleural injury. An extrapleural injury is caused by damage to the chest wall tissues on the outside of the pleural space. An intrapleural injury is due to damage to the inside of the pleural cavity. Hemothorax often occurs with pneumothorax, which is excess air in the pleural cavity."

They are produced all the time by the tear glands (lacrimal glands) and flow down across the surface of the eye.

From there, they flow down a tube called the tear duct (nasolacrimal duct) into the nose and throat. What is a blocked tear duct? A tear duct that is blocked stops the flow of tears from the eye down into the nose. It can affect one or both eyes.

With this Denis Villenueve has now consolidated his name as one of most important and gifted directors of our time and has shown us he is here to stay. I truly marvel at how this film is so tightly put together and even despite it faults, which it has, especially in script, it just never gives you a chance to breathe and take it all in, thanks to the atmosphere that is established from shot one until the last one, you are always anticipating something's going to happen and that is the sign you are watching a great thriller. You are always on the edge of your seat and in some occasions you are really biting your knuckles. The movie has a way to throw you into the action that is really rare to find, especially in a highway sequence where I literally felt I was there. All of this is achieved thanks to probably the best cinematography of this whole year. Deakins does it again, once more playing with a lot of blacks and shadows and once more succeeding one hundred percent. Also remarkable is the use of helicopter shots which don't feel like connective tissue, but actually part of the organic, that's something really hard to pull off. The sound design of this film is flat out amazing, some of the best I have truly ever had the pleasure to experience. It is so in you face, so tight, it really contributes in making you feel a part of this even in the more intimate scenes."

The dashed lines represent subdivisions within a major class. Me SH D015992Medline Plus 007196LOINC 39156-5 [ edit on Wikidata]The body mass index ( BMI) or Quetelet index is a value derived from the mass ( weight) and height of an individual. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is universally expressed in units of kg/m 2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres. The BMI may also be determined using a table [note 1] or chart which displays BMI as a function of mass and height using contour lines or colours for different BMI categories, and which may use other units of measurement (converted to metric units for the calculation). [ note 2]The BMI is an attempt to quantify the amount of tissue mass ( muscle, fat, and bone) in an individual, and then categorize that person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on that value. However, there is some debate about where on the BMI scale the dividing lines between categories should be placed. [ 1] Commonly accepted BMI ranges are underweight: under 18.5 kg/m 2, normal weight: 18.5 to 25, overweight: 25 to 30, obese: over 30. People of Asian descent have different associations between BMI, percentage of body fat, and health risks than those of European descent, with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease at BMIs lower than the WHO cut-off point for overweight, 25 kg/m 2, although the cutoff for observed risk varies among different Asian populations.

I found a number of factual problems with the books when I actually did the research work myself, and the books consistently say \"\"ASCAP and BMI are about equivalent\"\" which I think is completely untrue: BMI's publishing agreement is *much* worse. Here is a summary of my opinions on self publishing your music (if you're a songwriter)- go with ASCAP. It's free, and their agreement is much less evil than BMI's.- you don't need to incorporate, don't believe the music business books, you just need to pick a name for your publisher, which is your \"\"doing business as\"\" name. You'll get checks to that name, so you want to choose a publishing company name such as \"\"John Buckman Publishing\"\" (ie, your name + publishing) so that the bank lets you cash the checks you receive to that name.- the musician should be signed up with the same organization as the publisher, and since the publishing agreement is much better at ASCAP, I'd recommend both musician and publisher sign with ASCAP. If the musician is already on BMI, they can leave and transfer to ASCAP. However, I have no knowledge that you'll see more money from one or the other.- both ASCAP and BMI can collect \"\"DART\"\" royalties for you, which are various digital audio royalties, and both have a one year cancellation option, so it's a good idea to check that option in the signup form, and I couldn't see much difference in the ASCAP vs BMI agreements for this.- The ASCAP publisher signup form is here (go to \"\"Publisher Applicants\"\"): http://www.ascap.com/about/howjoin.html and it costs nothing to join-----ASCAP vs BMI?

The number itself doesn't measure body fat directly, but it provides an indicator of body fatness for most people, and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For adults, BMI is calculated using a formula: weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared, or alternatively, weight (in pounds) divided by height (in inches) squared and multiplied by a conversion factor of 703. To use the widget on the left, provide your height and weight, and press calculate. You can provide your measurements using either English or metric system. Now that you have your BMI, you can determine your weight status category using the following table: BMI Weight Status Below 18.5 Underweight18.5 – 24.9 Normal25.0 – 29.9 Overweight30.0 and Above Obese\"\"For most of the population, BMI is the measurement of choice for determining weight-related disease risk but should be not be the only measure used as part of an assessment,\"\" said Christine Santori, a nutrition expert and registered dietitian at the Center for Weight Management at Syosset Hospital in New York. \"\" For more accurate results, BMI should be used in combination with other measurements of disease risk such as waist circumference. \"\" BMI in children and teens For children and teenagers ages 2 to 19, BMI is determined slightly differently and it takes into account age and gender. First, BMI is calculated on from a child's weight and height, and then is plotted on the CDC BMI-for-age growth charts for girls and boys. This way, a child's BMI number is examined in relation to the BMI of other children of the same age and gender, and shows what percentile the child belongs to."

Traditionally the BMI chart for women is linear, however, this model is not an ideal or a true representation of the changes in a healthy weight for women according to age. As most of us are aware by now, body mass index (BMI) has been a traditional way of measuring how healthy your body weight is in relation to your height. To calculate Body Mass Index you divide your weight in kilograms by your height squared in metres. No need to worry about all that math. Calulate your personal Body Mass Index HERE with the Doctor’s very own bmi calculator. Why thank you Moose. The body mass index calculator also takes into account your age and gender.

In fact, for many age groups, having an average BMI may classify you as overweight. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Average BMI for Children Body mass index is interpreted a bit differently in children than in adults, as they're still growing and mature at different rates. Instead of having just one set range of healthy BMIs, it's necessary to check a BMI-for-age chart to check whether the BMI is between the 5th and 85th percentile for that age group. For boys and girls between 2 and 7 years old, the average BMI is somewhere between 16 and 17 as of 2010, depending on age and gender, but the range of what is healthy is broader than this. For example, a 5-year-old boy is considered healthy with a BMI from 13.8 and 17. The average BMI for an 8-year-old boy is 17.9, and girls of the same age have an average BMI of 18.3. By the age of 12, the average BMI for both girls and boys is 21.3, with a healthy range of about 15 to 21.8 for boys and 14.8 to 22.5 for girls. Average BMI for Adolescents Because teenagers are still going through puberty and growing, they can be healthy even if their BMI falls a bit outside what's considered healthy for an adult. The average BMI for a 13-year-old boy is 21.9; for a girl of the same age it's slightly higher, at 22.1, The healthy BMI range for 13-year-olds is 15.5 to 22.6 for boys and 15.3 to 23.3 for girls."

BMI stands for Body Mass Index and it’s becoming a universal tool to measure body “fatness” even though it doesn’t actually measure body fat like using a caliper or underwater weighing (also known as hydrostatic testing .) However, despite it’s imperfections, BMI is a fairly good indicator of body composition for most people. And as such BMI has become a prevalent health screening method. Understanding what exactly BMI measures, the reliability of BMI results and how to interpret those results, will go a long way in providing the information you need to take steps to improve your health. What exactly does BMI measure? If BMI doesn't really measure body fatness, what exactly does it measure? BMI measures the mass of the body in relation to height and weight. And by taking this calculation one can make a relatively accurate assumption of body fat percentage. So for example, if you calculate your own BMI you will learn whether your current weight in relation to your height is considered underweight, normal, overweight or obese. ("

If you've never been approached by a health professional about your BMI, consider yourself lucky. BMI is primarily used to provide a risk factor estimate for the development of chronic disease, namely, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and certain cancers. According to a 2014 article published in Bio Med Central Public Health, the risk of chronic disease increases with a higher BMI.

The research on the impact of a low BMI is not extensive, but that range is considered underweight. Genetically, you may be predisposed to having a low BMI, and, in this case, it may be difficult for you to gain weight. For older adults, a low BMI may indicate malnutrition and loss of lean body mass. According to a 2010 article published in the New England Journal of Medicine, being underweight may also put you at risk for higher chance of death. Research published in 2014 in Bio Med Central Public agreed with this conclusion but also added that higher mortality risk in the underweight population can be caused by external factors, such as smoking, inability to recover from illness and depression."

Go to: Short abstract The BMI is the best available tool for monitoring progress in the campaign against obesity Keywords: body mass index, children, obesity, overweight, screening The House of Commons Select Committee on obesity, and two expert groups in the USA, recommend that the body mass index (BMI) of every school child should be measured each year and the result sent home to the parents. The BMI correlates sufficiently well with direct measures of total body fat to support its use, on an anonymous basis, as a public health tool for monitoring progress in dealing with the obesity epidemic. However, the BMI is an imperfect proxy for obesity because there is much individual variability in the relationship between BMI and body fat, cardiovascular risk factors, and long term health outcomes. Whatever BMI cut offs are selected for determining the advice to parents, a high BMI calls for further evaluation and interpretation and the policy proposed by the Select Committee, to send BMI results to parents, is therefore in effect a screening programme. As such, it presents a number of difficulties and should be implemented only as a research study and not as public policy. The worldwide epidemic of childhood obesity is a public health problem for two reasons. First, it is associated with a variety of adverse health outcomes, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease."

As the Weekend Edition math guy, I spoke to Scott Simon and told him the body mass index fails on 10 grounds:1. The person who dreamed up the BMI said explicitly that it could not and should not be used to indicate the level of fatness in an individual. The BMI was introduced in the early 19th century by a Belgian named Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet. He was a mathematician, not a physician. He produced the formula to give a quick and easy way to measure the degree of obesity of the general population to assist the government in allocating resources. In other words, it is a 200-year-old hack.2."

The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is universally expressed in units of kg/m 2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres. The BMI may also be determined using a table [note 1] or chart which displays BMI as a function of mass and height using contour lines or colours for different BMI categories, and which may use other units of measurement (converted to metric units for the calculation). [ note 2]The BMI is an attempt to quantify the amount of tissue mass ( muscle, fat, and bone) in an individual, and then categorize that person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on that value. However, there is some debate about where on the BMI scale the dividing lines between categories should be placed. [ 1] Commonly accepted BMI ranges are underweight: under 18.5 kg/m 2, normal weight: 18.5 to 25, overweight: 25 to 30, obese: over 30.

Several leading national and international institutions, including the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health, have provided guidelines for classifying weight status based on body mass index (BMI; in kg/m 2) ( 1, 2 ). Data from epidemiologic studies demonstrate a direct correlation between BMI and the risk of medical complications and mortality rate (eg, 3, 4 ). Men and women who have a BMI ≥ 30 are considered obese and are generally at higher risk for adverse health events than are those who are considered overweight (BMI between 25.0 and 29.9) or lean (BMI between 18.5 and 24.9). Therefore, BMI has become the gold standard for identifying patients at increased risk of adiposity-related adverse health outcomes. Body fat distribution is also an important risk factor for obesity-related diseases. Excess abdominal fat (also known as central or upper-body fat) is associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease. However, precise measurement of abdominal fat content requires the use of expensive radiological imaging techniques. Therefore, waist circumference (WC) is often used as a surrogate marker of abdominal fat mass, because WC correlates with abdominal fat mass (subcutaneous and intraabdominal) ( 5) and is associated with cardiometabolic disease risk ( 6 ). Men and women who have WCs > 40 in (102 cm) and 35 in (88 cm), respectively, are considered to be at increased risk for cardiometabolic disease ( 7 )."

"text": "\"Keynote Paper: Measures of nutritional status from anthropometric survey data Prakash Shetty FAORome, Italy Executive summary FAO is mandated to provide reliable figures of the true extent of the problem of undernutrition to help Member Nations in monitoring trends, determining priorities and evaluating the effectiveness of intervention programmes. In order to do that, there is a need to detect undernutrition in individuals and to assess the severity of the problem in the community. This paper evaluates the use of nutritional anthropometric measures to estimate the numbers of undernourished while highlighting the advantages and limitations of nutritional anthropometric approaches. It addresses issues related to reference values and discusses cut- offs based on the relationship between nutritional anthropometric indices and functional impairment, morbidity and/or other evidence of the consequences of food inadequacy. It also attempts to relate this approach with the other approaches discussed at this Symposium. Nutritional anthropometric measurements, indices and indicators are defined, and the commonly used indicators for the diagnosis of undernutrition throughout the life cycle (i.e. infants, children, adolescents, adults and elderly) are discussed. The validity, reliability and uses of these anthropometric indicators in different situations in the field and communities are also discussed. The paper emphasizes the need to carry out properly sampled, representative surveys to aid this process and highlights the role these nutritional indicators can play in assessing the impact of the developmental process, the effect of nutritional and other interventions, and the consequences of adverse situations such as food emergencies resulting from conflict, natural disasters and economic downturns. Given the recent controversies related to differing estimates of national and regional numbers of undernourished derived from the FAO food balance method and anthropometric indicators of children and adults, an attempt is made to look at two specific instances where comparative analyses have been carried out. The first is a comparison of data based on these two approaches in nationally representative samples in Brazil."

Although BMI is an indirect method of measuring body fat, it is popular among clinicians. The direct, alternative methods to measure body fatness and obesity are: Skin fold thickness measurements Underwater weighing Bio-electrical impedance Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)Isotope dilution These methods tend to be more expensive, less accessible or take more time than BMI measurements. To calculate your BMI (using pounds and inches), divide your weight by your height squared and multiply by a conversion factor as shown below:weight / [height]2 x 703 For example, if you weigh 150 pounds and you are 5 foot 7 inches tall (1 foot =12 inches), you would have a BMI of: 150/ [67]^2 x 703= 150/ 4,489 x 703= 0.0334 x 703= 23.4 The table below explains what your results would mean in terms of weight status. Looking back at the example above, 23.4 falls in the healthy weight range.

Most risk factors that affect children can be controlled early in life, lowering the risk of heart disease later in life. Heart disease is not a major cause of death among children and teenagers, but it is the largest cause of death among adults in the United States. In fact, someone in America dies every 37 seconds from some form of cardiovascular disease. Certain factors play important roles in a person’s chances of developing heart disease. These are called risk factors. Some risk factors can be changed, treated, or modified, and some cannot. Many risk factors can be controlled early in life, lowering the risk of heart disease later in life. Other risk factors are passed down through family members (they are hereditary) or are the result of another illness or disease."

One of the ways health providers indirectly measure body fat is by calculating your body mass index, or BMI. The measurement indicates whether you're underweight, at a healthy weight, overweight or obese. Your BMI number matters because the more overweight you are, the higher your chronic disease risk. Finding out your BMI is a good way to know whether or not you need to shed weight.

The formula for BMI is weight / (height x height) x 703. Weight is calculated in pounds and height in inches. For example, the calculation for a person weighing 190 pounds and standing 6 feet tall is 190 divided by 5,184 multiplied by 703, which equals a BMI of 25.7.

In fact, for many age groups, having an average BMI may classify you as overweight. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Average BMI for Children Body mass index is interpreted a bit differently in children than in adults, as they're still growing and mature at different rates. Instead of having just one set range of healthy BMIs, it's necessary to check a BMI-for-age chart to check whether the BMI is between the 5th and 85th percentile for that age group. For boys and girls between 2 and 7 years old, the average BMI is somewhere between 16 and 17 as of 2010, depending on age and gender, but the range of what is healthy is broader than this. For example, a 5-year-old boy is considered healthy with a BMI from 13.8 and 17. The average BMI for an 8-year-old boy is 17.9, and girls of the same age have an average BMI of 18.3. By the age of 12, the average BMI for both girls and boys is 21.3, with a healthy range of about 15 to 21.8 for boys and 14.8 to 22.5 for girls. Average BMI for Adolescents Because teenagers are still going through puberty and growing, they can be healthy even if their BMI falls a bit outside what's considered healthy for an adult. The average BMI for a 13-year-old boy is 21.9; for a girl of the same age it's slightly higher, at 22.1, The healthy BMI range for 13-year-olds is 15.5 to 22.6 for boys and 15.3 to 23.3 for girls."

Ideal bodyweights can be found on Body Mass Index Charts (BMI), which are widely used by health professionals, allied health professionals, fitness enthusiasts, and those just looking to shed a few pounds. But, what does that IBW number mean? History Lesson Ideal body weight charts originated from an extremely old index (mid 1800s old) called the Broca Index. Standard body weight was determined by subtracting 100 from body length in centimeters. The BMI chart was later developed from the Broca Index. The BMI was and still is determined by dividing one’s weight by height. Scientists originally used these charts to study and compare the health of populations with respect to their weight.

If you want to get a rough idea of your overall health, your heart rate is a good place to start. During exercise, your heart rate increases to provide your body with enough energy to perform work. Your level of fitness directly affects your heart rate, which tends to increase if you're overweight. An increased resting heart rate puts more stress on your heart during and following exercise. Weight and Body Mass Index Body weight doesn't necessarily play a role in heart rate before, during or after exercise so much as your body mass index. The BMI is a number calculated by factoring in your weight relative to your height using a medical formula.

When defining functions, you can define separate function bodies for different patterns. This leads to really neat code that's simple and readable. You can pattern match on any data type — numbers, characters, lists, tuples, etc. Let's make a really trivial function that checks if the number we supplied to it is a seven or not.lucky :: ( Integral a) => a -> Stringlucky 7 = \"\"LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN! \"\" lucky x = \"\"Sorry, you're out of luck, pal! \"\" When you call lucky, the patterns will be checked from top to bottom and when it conforms to a pattern, the corresponding function body will be used.

The number of Calories in the foods that we eat and the number of Calories that we use determines whether we will lose weight or gain weight. The extra Calories that we consume are generally stored as fat in our body. To maintain a steady weight, the number of Calories in our food must be equal the number of Calories that we use through exercise, excrete as wastes, body oils, ejaculates, menstrual flow, or use for renewal of skin, hair, nails, and other organ tissues. To lose weight, we must consume fewer Calories than our body needs so that our stored body fat is used to meet a portion our caloric needs.

Ideal healthy weight Body mass index, or BMI, has been used for over 100 years to help health professionals decide whether a patient is overweight or underweight. It is used in population studies, by doctors, personal trainers, and others. However, BMI has some important flaws. For example, it does not measure overall fat or lean tissue (muscle) content. BMI is derived from a simple math formula. It was devised in the 1830s by Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet, a Belgian astronomer, mathematician, statistician and sociologist. It aims to estimate whether a person has a healthy weight by dividing their weight in kilograms (kg) by their height in meters squared."

The study found that nearly two-thirds of states now have adult obesity rates above 25 percent. But you may want to take those findings — and your next meal — with a grain of salt, because they're based on a calculation called the body mass index, or BMI. As the Weekend Edition math guy, I spoke to Scott Simon and told him the body mass index fails on 10 grounds:1. The person who dreamed up the BMI said explicitly that it could not and should not be used to indicate the level of fatness in an individual. The BMI was introduced in the early 19th century by a Belgian named Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet. He was a mathematician, not a physician. He produced the formula to give a quick and easy way to measure the degree of obesity of the general population to assist the government in allocating resources. In other words, it is a 200-year-old hack.2."

Outside the United States, blood tests made up of the majority of the same biochemical tests are called urea and electrolytes ( U&E or \"\" Us and Es \"\"), or urea, electrolytes, creatinine ( UEC or EUC or CUE ), and are often referred to as 'kidney function tests' as they also include a calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate. The BMP provides key information regarding fluid and electrolyte status, kidney function, blood sugar levels, and response to various medications and other medical therapies. It is frequently employed as a screening tool during a physical exam. The basic metabolic panel is a simpler version of the comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), which includes tests for liver function. Contents [ hide ]1 Components2 Reporting3 See also4 References Components [ edit]The version with seven tests is often referred to by medical professionals in USA as the \"\"CHEM-7\"\", or \"\"SMA-7\"\" (Sequential Multiple Analysis-7). [ 1] Because it is such a common test, this term is commonly sprinkled into the scripts of popular American TV medical dramas, increasing public exposure to the term. The seven parts of a CHEM-7 are tests for: Four electrolytes :sodium (Na +) [2]potassium (K +) [3]chloride (Cl −) [4]bicarbonate (HCO 3 −) or CO 2 [5]blood urea nitrogen (BUN) [6]creatinine [7]glucose [8]These levels, taken as a set, can be rapidly performed to indicate several common acute conditions requiring immediate specific medical treatment, such as dehydration / hypovolemia, water intoxication (which can present with similar symptoms to dehydration but requires the opposite treatment), diabetic shock (either ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia ), congestive heart failure, renal failure or liver failure, various substance overdoses or adverse reactions, and others. A Chem-7 is thus a vital tool when attempting to stabilize a patient. Calcium (Ca 2+) is often considered part of the BMP, [9] [10] though, by definition, it is not part of the CHEM-7."

"text": "\"�Drip-Irrigation Systems for Small Conventional Vegetable Farms and Organic Vegetable Farms 1Eric Simonne, Robert Hochmuth, Jacque Breman, William Lamont, Danielle Treadwell, and Aparna Gazula 2A drip-irrigation system—when properly designed, maintained and operated—can be a production asset for a small farm. Using drip irrigation for profitable vegetable production requires an understanding of several basic engineering and horticultural concepts and their application. The goals of this publication are to present the principles behind drip irrigation and some practical guidelines for successful and profitable use of drip irrigation.1. Overview of Drip Irrigation1.1 What is drip irrigation? Drip irrigation (also known as trickle irrigation or micro-irrigation) is an irrigation method that allows precisely controlled application of water and fertilizer by allowing water to drip slowly near the plant roots through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. Plasticulture is the combined use of drip irrigation, polyethylene mulch and raised beds. Greatest productivity and earliness may be achieved in vegetable production by combining plasticulture with the use of transplants.1.2 Is drip irrigation adapted to all operations? Drip irrigation is not a silver bullet; it may not be applicable to all farms. Yet, when properly managed, it is a valuable production technique that may reduce labor and production costs while improving productivity. Small farmers considering the use of drip irrigation should evaluate both the advantages and disadvantages of this system to determine the benefits of drip irrigation for their operation.1.3 What are the main advantages of drip irrigation?"

A blood test is when a sample of blood is taken from the body to be tested in a lab. Doctors order blood tests to check things such as the levels of glucose, hemoglobin, or white blood cells. This can help them detect problems like a disease or medical condition. Sometimes, blood tests can help them see how well an organ (such as the liver or kidneys) is working. What Is a Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP)? The basic metabolic panel (BMP) is a blood test that gives doctors information about the body's fluid balance, levels of electrolytes like sodium and potassium, and how well the kidneys are working.

"text": "How can agriculture affect lakes and rivers? Improperly managed agricultural activities may impact surface water by contributing nutrients, pesticides, sediment, and bacteria, or by altering stream flow. Fertilizer and pesticide use, tillage, irrigation, and tile drainage can affect water quality and hydrology. Livestock production practices, including riparian grazing, confined feeding operations, and manure management can also impact water quality. Comprehensive farm plans and Best Management Practices (BMPs) address these activities to minimize degradation of water resources. Not all agricultural production adversely affects water quality, but because much of the state is agricultural land, there is a potential for impact on your local stream or lake. Regional differences in land use and lake characteristics will influence how susceptible your lake or river may be. How can crop production affect water quality and hydrology? Improper fertilizer management can contribute nutrients from excessive use of either commercial fertilizer or manure, improper application methods or timing, or inadequate BMPs to minimize leaching or runoff. Nitrogen moves easily as nitrate, dissolved in surface water runoff, drain-tile flow, or seepage to ground water."

The more common formats include BMP, JPG, GIF, and PNG. As is typically the case, there are pros and cons associated with each format. From the standpoint of gaining familiarity with the subject of image files, the Windows BMP file offers significant advantages because of its simplicity. It also has the advantage of being highly standardized and extremely widespread. Its principal disadvantage is that it does not support effective image compression except on specific types of images. However, there is a hidden benefit to this shortcoming: since other image file formats do offer significant data compression, very few images stored in BMP format are compressed and, therefore, a very simple BMP editor that doesn't support working with compressed BMP files will seldom encounter a file it can't work with. The information contained here is rather minimal. A much more thorough treatment of image file formats can be found in such texts as Compressed File Formats by John Miano. An excellent and in-depth description of the Windows BMP file format can be found here."

Many of our water pollution problems are due in large part to pollutants that are washed off the land by storms. The quality of stormwater from public facilities, commercial and industrial businesses, residences, and agricultural lands is an increasing concern nationwide. Many people believe that stormwater is \"\"clean\"\" and that it does not harm water quality. This perception is understandable since the amount of pollution from any one spot is not usually significant by itself.

"text": "Stem Cells of the Skin and Their Lineages Adult stem cells reside in most tissues of our body. Although more restricted than embryonic stem cells in the types of tissues they make, these stem cells survive long-term, and regenerate both themselves and their resident tissues during normal wear and tear (homeostasis) and following injury. Tissue stem cells typically reside in specialized microenvironments (niches) and are used sparingly, but can be mobilized quickly and expand to repair wounds when the tissue is damaged. During normal homeostasis, tissue stem cells often exist in two distinct states: a quiescent state in which they are not making tissue and a primed state in which they are either actively making tissue or more readily activated when needed. Once activated, tissue stem cells produce shorter-lived progenitors (sometimes called ‘transit-amplifying cells’) that divide rapidly several times, but then progress to terminally differentiate to form their respective tissue. My laboratory uses mammalian skin as a model system to study adult stem cells. At the surface of our body, skin epidermis is readily accessible, and its stem cells can be cultured and passaged long-term without losing their stemness. Shortly after gastrulation, embryonic skin begins as a single layer of multipotent epithelial cells. These cells will give rise to the epidermis, and its appendages, which include hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands and even mammary glands. In the adult, each of these epithelial tissues has its own niche (s) of stem cells, presenting a rich and fascinating diversity for exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying the “fountain of youth” properties of stem cells and their remarkable ability to make and repair tissues."

La Valle, RPh, CCN, ND. Read additional excerpts or buy the whole book. The basic metabolic panel (BMP) tests for various indicators of metabolic functioning, including blood sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, and kidney operation. Glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, carbon dioxide, chloride, urea nitrogen, creatinine, and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are also included in the BMP, which is primarily used to detect and diagnose conditions such as diabetes and kidney disease. Doctors may also order this panel of tests to determine if a medication is working properly or throwing certain lab values out of balance. For example, diuretics used to treat high blood pressure may affect electrolyte balance and the kidneys, so a BMP test is frequently recommended for patients taking these drugs. Some BMP tests require fasting for at least eight hours prior to having your blood drawn, so be sure to ask your health practitioner for pretesting instructions. One of the biggest problems with BMP tests is that “trending” lab values —numbers that technically fall within the normal range but are headed in the wrong direction—are rarely discussed with patients. In other words, “low normal” and “high normal” lab values are not typically treated as health concerns. Instead, the usual approach is to watch and wait for a trending lab to finally become abnormal."

Your recruiter and most people will tell you to never volunteer for anything at BMT, which is true. But if you like the sound of one of the job below you could try to volunteer for it, though depending on your MTI they may see that you want a job, and give you a totally different job just to spite you, so be careful. Another thing to remember is that none of the things you do at BMT will really matter once you leave, so trying super hard to be the Dorm Chief will not really help you later in your career. Just keep your head down and get through BMT as quickly and easily as possible. I feel like I forgot some jobs, so if you know of any that I missed please let me know and I’ll add them. Dorm Chief Dorm Chief is a trainee that is selected by the MTI that is in charge of the flight while the MTI is gone and has a lot of responsibility while the MTI is around as well.

Its operator is the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA), which is controlled by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) of New York. In 2016, an average of 5.66 million passengers used the system daily, making it the busiest rapid transit system in the United States and the seventh busiest in the world. [ 6] [7]The first underground line opened on October 27, 1904, [8] almost 35 years after the opening of the first elevated line in New York City, which became the IRT Ninth Avenue Line. [ 9] By the time the first subway opened, the lines had been consolidated into two privately owned systems, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT, later Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation, BMT) and the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT). Many present lines were built under the Dual Contracts, and after 1913, all lines built for the IRT and most other lines built or improved for the BRT were built by the city and leased to the companies. The first line of the city-owned and operated Independent Subway System (IND) opened in 1932; this system was intended to compete with the private systems and allow some of the elevated railways to be torn down. However, it was kept within the core of the city because of the low amount of startup capital provided to the municipal Board of Transportation by the state. [ 10] This required it to be run \"\"at cost\"\", necessitating fares up to double the five-cent fare popular at the time. [ 11]In 1940, the two private systems were bought by the city, and some elevated lines closed immediately while others closed soon after."

[ 2] [3] [1] [4] [5] According to an expert in United States military training methods, Dave Grossman, recruit training makes extensive use of four types of conditioning techniques: role modeling, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and brutalization. [ 4]According to the Canadian military historian Gwynne Dyer, inductees are required to partially submerge their individuality for the good of their unit; this is essential because military organizations, unlike civilian ones, require their members to endure stress and perform actions that are normally absent in civilian life. [ citation needed]The resocialization of recruit training operates in several ways, as follows: Confinement and suppression [ edit]A recruit in the US Marine Corps is shaved before his initial training begins, 2006."

It is on a hill between Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Borough Park, and Gravesend Bay. The neighborhood is officially bounded by 7th and 14th avenues, 61st Street, and the Belt Parkway on the west, east, north, and south, respectively. [ 2]It originated as a speculative luxury housing development in October 1895 when Walter Loveridge Johnson developed a portion of woodland into a suburban community. During the height of his development, the boundaries were primarily between Tenth Avenue and Thirteenth Avenue and from 79th Street to 86th Street. The finest homes of the development were situated along the top of the 110-foot (34 m) hill, at about Eleventh Avenue and 82nd Street.

The area that is now known as Dyker Heights was not developed in the 17th or 18th centuries because the land was too sloped for farming; it remained common woodland until the mid-19th century. The trees of this forest were used by the townsfolk as a source of firewood and construction material. When the agricultural industry of New Utrecht changed from the farming grains to the cultivation of market garden produce, the trees were cleared for tomatoes, cabbages, and potatoes, among other produce.

Recruits are trained in the fundamental skills necessary to be successful in an Expeditionary Air Force. This includes basic war skills, military discipline, physical fitness, drill and ceremonies, Air Force core values and a comprehensive range of subjects relating to Air Force life. More than 7 million young men and women have entered Air Force basic military training since 4 February 1946, when the training mission was moved to Lackland from Harlingen Air Force Base in Harlingen, Texas. Throughout its history, Lackland's BMT program has changed in many ways to meet the operational needs of the Air Force and recent updates in the curriculum are some of the most significant in its more than 60-year history, with every aspect of the program overhauled. On 7 November 2005, BMT changed its curriculum to focus on a new kind of Airman—one who is a \"\"warrior first\"\". The goal is to instill a warrior mindset in trainees from day one and better prepare Airmen for the realities of the Expeditionary Air Force. The changes resulted from the need to meet current and future operational Air Force requirements. In September 2004, the 20th Basic Military Training Review Committee met at Lackland and recommended significant changes in the focus, curriculum and schedule. ["

This should be done during the first year of diagnosis. Response criteria Hematologic response In chronic phase CML, a hematologic response was defined as a 50% reduction in WBC counts from baseline sustained for at least 2 weeks. A Complete Hematologic Response (CHR) was defined as WBC < 10,000 per mm3and platelet count < 450,000 per mm3 maintained for at least 4 weeks. In blast crisis CML, a hematologic response is defined as a decrease in bone marrow blast count to < 5%, the disappearance of blasts in the peripheral blood, an absolute neutrophil count > 1000 cells/mm3and platelet count > 100,000 cells/mm3. Patients who did not meet the criteria for a complete hematologic response may be categorized according to marrow response. A marrow response is defined as either a decrease in the blast count to < 5% or between 5-15% regardless of peripheral blood cell counts. Disease progression is defined as an increase in marrow blasts > 15%, increase in peripheral blood blasts > 5% or WBC > 20,000 cells/mm3.

Subway, which created the $5 Footlong deal as a way to entice customers during the heart of the recession, on Saturday will nationally roll out a new value meal twist. This one, dubbed Simple $6 Menu, features six of its core sandwiches that will be sold in 6-inch versions along with a 21-ounce fountain drink and bag of chips for $6. That's a savings of about 75 cents to $2, depending on the market. The deal is not a limited-time promotion but a new addition to the menu for the privately held fast-food chain. Unlike the burger giants that more typically offer a burger, fries and soft drink as their value offerings, Subway says its new value deal has some healthier options, since three of them are from its \"\"Fresh Fit\"\" sandwich menu. \"\" Value is always a turf battle in fast food. We think we have a different take on it,\"\" says Tony Pace, global chief marketing officer at Subway, in a phone interview. Instead of a short-time promotion, he says, this is a long-term program that's now part of the sandwich kingpin's menu.

This is on top of the 15 percent of sodium the company already removed from its core sandwiches. \"\" Sodium intake around the world is growing, and since high sodium intake is linked to hypertension, a major risk factor for heart disease, we knew it was important to try to reduce the sodium in our menu items,\"\" Lanette Kovachi, corporate dietitian at Subway, told ABC News. \"\" We have made significant reductions already, but we plan to reduce even more. \"\" The federal government recommends that the majority of Americans consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of salt per day, and even with the cuts, most of of Subway's sandwiches would still account for more than half of a person's recommend daily amount of sodium. \"\" 50 percent of your daily consumption is more than we would like, but its much better than what it was before,\"\" said Dr. Ralph Sacco, President of the American Heart Association and Chairman of Neurology at the University of Miami. \"\" We think any incremental step down is a step in the right direction. \"\" If an individual chooses to eat a 12-inch sandwich from Subway, the sandwich would likely exceed the federal government's recommendation.

When you have symptoms of heart failure, such as shortness of breath and fatigue, or when you are being treated for CHFSample Required? A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm Test Preparation Needed? None What is being tested? B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) are substances that are produced in the heart and released when the heart is stretched and working hard to pump blood. Tests for BNP and NT-pro BNP measure their levels in the blood in order to detect and evaluate heart failure. BNP was initially called brain natriuretic peptide because it was first found in brain tissue (and to distinguish it from a similar protein made in the atria, or upper chambers, of the heart, termed ANP). BNP is actually produced primarily by the left ventricle of the heart (the heart's main pumping chamber). It is associated with blood volume and pressure and with the work that the heart must do in pumping blood throughout the body."

"text": "Diagnosis Because pulmonary edema requires prompt treatment, you'll initially be diagnosed on the basis of your symptoms and a physical exam, electrocardiogram and chest X-ray. Once your condition is more stable, your doctor will ask about your medical history, especially whether you have ever had cardiovascular or lung disease. Tests that may be done to diagnose pulmonary edema or to determine why you developed fluid in your lungs include: Chest X-ray. A chest X-ray will likely be the first test you have done to confirm the diagnosis of pulmonary edema and exclude other possible causes of your shortness of breath. Pulse oximetry. In pulse oximetry, a sensor attached to your finger or ear uses light to determine how much oxygen is in your blood. Blood tests. You may have blood drawn, usually from an artery in your wrist, so that it can be checked for the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide it contains (arterial blood gas concentrations). Your blood may also be checked for levels of a substance called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Increased levels of BNP may indicate that your pulmonary edema is caused by a heart condition."

BNP is made by your heart and shows how well your heart is working. Normally, only a low amount of BNP is found in your blood. But if your heart has to work harder than usual over a long period of time, such as from heart failure, the heart releases more BNP, increasing the blood level of BNP.

Since patient management depends on right and timely diagnosis, biochemical analysis of extravascular body fluids is considered a valuable tool in the patient management process. The biochemical evaluation of serous fluids includes the determination of gross appearance, differentiation of transudative from exudative effusions and additional specific biochemical testing to assess the effusion etiology. This article summarized data from the most relevant literature concerning practice with special emphasis on usefulness of biochemical tests used for the investigation of pleural, peritoneal and pericardial effusions. Additionally, preanalytical issues concerning serous fluid analysis were addressed and recommendations concerning acceptable analytical practice in serous fluid analysis were presented. Key words: pleural effusion; peritoneal effusion; pericardial effusion Received: August 27, 2013 Accepted: January 14, 2014Introduction Blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid are standard samples analyzed in the clinical laboratory. However, occasionally the evaluation of serous extravascular fluids (i.e. pleural, peritoneal and pericardial) is requested."

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

"text": "Laboratory Tests for Heart Failure Routine lab blood tests are important in the evaluation of people with heart failure. These tests can help identify causes of heart failure; whether other organs, such as the kidneys and liver, have been affected by the heart failure; or whether medicines, such as diuretics, have affected the normal electrolyte levels, such as sodium or potassium levels. The following lab tests may be done in people with signs or symptoms of heart failure. Complete Blood Count (CBC)A reduced red blood cell count ( anemia) may mean that heart failure is caused or aggravated by a decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. A very low blood count may be a sign that anemia is a contributing factor that is making your heart failure worse. Even if this is not the case, a low blood count can make your heart work harder and can be dangerous if you have severe heart failure. Knowing the white blood cell count can be helpful, because an elevated white count often indicates that you have an infection, which places additional stress on your heart. Serum Creatinine This test measures the level of a substance in the blood called creatinine. The creatine level can help determine how well the kidneys are working. Creatinine is excreted in the urine."

"text": "Useful For Aids in the diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF)The role of brain natriuretic peptide in monitoring CHF therapy is under investigation Clinical Information B-type natriuretic peptide (brain natriuretic peptide; BNP) is a 32-amino acid-ringed peptide secreted by the heart to regulate blood pressure and fluid balance. ( 1) BNP is stored in and secreted predominantly from membrane granules in the heart ventricles, and is continuously released from the heart in response to both ventricle volume expansion and pressure overload. ( 2)The natriuretic peptide system and the renin-angiotensin system counteract each other in arterial pressure regulation. When arterial pressure decreases, the kidneys release renin, which activates angiotensinogen resulting in increased peripheral resistance of the arterioles, thus increasing arterial pressure. The natriuretic peptides counteract the effects of renin secretion, causing a reduction of blood pressure and in extracellular fluid volume. ( 3) Both BNP and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are activated by atrial and ventricular distension due to increased intracardiac pressure. These peptides have both natriuretic and diuretic properties: they raise sodium and water excretion by increasing the glomerular filtration rate and inhibiting sodium reabsorption by the kidney. The New York Heart Association (NYHA) developed a functional classification system for congestive heart failure (CHF) consisting of 4 stages based on the severity of the symptoms. Various studies have demonstrated that circulating BNP concentrations increase with the severity of CHF based on the NYHA classification.

It usually affects people from ages 50-80, although there are a few cases of people being diagnosed as early as their late 20s. About two-thirds of the patients are male. AL amyloidosis is caused by a bone marrow disorder. The bone marrow in the center of bones produces cells in the blood system, including “plasma cells.” These plasma cells are the part of the immune system that makes antibodies for fighting infections. The term “immunoglobulin” refers to the class of proteins that function as antibodies. Immunoglobulins are composed of four protein chains: two light chains, either kappa or lambda light chains, and two heavy chains, of which there are several types. These proteins are produced by the plasma cells in the bone marrow. In AL patients, these plasma cells produce an abnormal antibody (immunoglobulin) protein."

I’ve never heard of it. What is this test, and what is it used for?”A: Your cardiologist ordered the BNP blood test to determine whether your symptoms of dyspnea (difficulty breathing) could be caused by heart failure. What Is BNP? BNP is shorthand for brain (or B-type) natriuretic peptide. The name is somewhat misleading, as BNP has nothing to do with the human brain. BNP is a naturally occurring signaling hormone in the blood, and is produced by human heart muscle. Because the molecule was first discovered in the brain tissue of pigs, however, the “brain” term has persisted. Quite simply, anything that increases mechanical stress in the heart or irritates heart muscle will trigger the heart’s pressure receptors to release BNP into the blood."

"text": "Overview Related pages Print full article Overview Congestive heart failure (CHF) or cardiac failure (CCF) occurs when the heart can no longer pump blood quickly enough. This causes fluid to build up particularly in the liver, lungs, hands and feet. The legs may develop swelling that gets worse when the person stands and improves when they lie down. If the lungs are involved, it can cause shortness of breath and coughing, especially during exercise such as walking up stairs or when lying down flat in bed. CHF may occur in those who have had a previous heart attack or who have high blood pressure, narrowed arteries to the heart, infections, or congenital heart disease. However in a large number of cases the cause may not be identified (“idiopathic”). A combination of tests may be used to diagnose the condition, including physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), an echocardiogram and chest x-ray. Laboratory tests are used to a lesser extent, but may include urinalysis to determine if there is kidney failure and blood tests to check for electrolyte balance, liver function and kidney function, since symptoms of kidney or liver disease may be similar to those of CHF. New tests, BNP or NT-pro BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide), can be used to help diagnose CHF. These are substances produced by the ventricles (the main pumping chambers of the heart)."

"text": "B-Type Natriuretic Peptide The natriuretic peptide system is comprised of 3 peptide hormones including atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). ANP is synthesized mainly by cardiac myocytes in the atria. Very little ANP is produced by ventricular tissue. Increased atrial wall tension, reflecting increased intravascular volume, is the dominant stimulus for its release. BNP, also known as brain natriuretic hormone because it was first isolated from porcine brain, is synthesized primarily by ventricular myocytes. It is continuously released in response to both ventricle volume expansion and pressure overload. CNP is produced by brain, pituitary, kidney and endothelial cells. Its plasma concentration is very low and its major action is vasodilatory rather than natriuretic. The natriuretic peptides are natural antagonists to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system in regulating arterial pressure. The kidneys release renin in response to a decrease in arterial pressure."

"text": "Congestive Heart Failure Instructions Some labs require 10 to 12 hours of fasting before taking a blood test for congestive heart failure, while other labs do not require fasting. Individuals should check with their care providers and their blood work lab to get information on fasting requirements. For labs that do require fasting, individuals are still allowed to drink water and take their normal medications and supplements. Often multiple heart health related blood tests are ordered at the same time. Many of these other tests do have consistent fasting requirements. It is important to be aware of and check the parameters of all tests that are taken simultaneously. Why It Is Used The B-type natriuretic peptide blood test, also known as the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) test, is used for detecting congestive heart failure. This test is used to assess how hard the heart is working to keep the blood pumping through the body and to determine if the heart is pumping the blood well enough. The test is most often ordered for patients who are at risk of heart failure, but may also be ordered for individuals who experience abnormal swelling in their arms or legs or who suffer from extreme shortness of breath in response to mild physical activity. How It Works The BNP blood test works by measuring the level of BNP hormones in the blood."

We examined the characteristics of pulmonary crackles among patients with stage A cardiovascular disease (American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association heart failure staging criteria), stratiffed by decade, because little is known about these issues in such patients at high risk for congestive heart failure who have no structural heart disease or acute heart failure symptoms. METHODS After exclusion of comorbid pulmonary and other critical diseases, 274 participants, in whom the heart was structurally (based on Doppler echocardiography) and functionally (B-type natriuretic peptide <80 pg/m L) normal and the lung (X-ray evaluation) was normal, were eligible for the analysis. RESULTS There was a significant difference in the prevalence of crackles among patients in the low (45–64 years; n = 97; 11%; 95% CI, 5%–18%), medium (65–79 years; n = 121; 34%; 95% CI, 27%–40%), and high (80–95 years; n = 56; 70%; 95% CI, 58%–82%) age-groups ( P <.001). The risk for audible crackles increased approximately threefold every 10 years after 45 years of age. During a mean follow-up of 11 ± 2.3 months (n = 255), the short-term (≤3 months) reproducibility of crackles was 87%. The occurrence of cardiopulmonary disease during follow-up included cardiovascular disease in 5 patients and pulmonary disease in 6. CONCLUSIONS Recognition of age-related pulmonary crackles (rales) is important because such clinically unimportant crackles are so common among elderly patients that, without knowledge of this phenomenon, their existence might interfere with the physician’s management of cardiopulmonary patients. Key Words: Physical examinationauscultationcracklesrespiratory soundsralesagingheart failure Previous Section Next Section INTRODUCTIONHeart failure is a common problem, especially in elderly patients. 1The appearance of pulmonary crackles (rales), defined as discontinuous, interrupted, explosive respiratory sounds during inspiration, is one of the most important signs of heart failure deterioration."

However, heart failure is a serious condition where the heart does not pump blood around the body efficiently. We depend on the pumping action of the heart to deliver nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood to every cell in the body. When cells are not nourished adequately, it is not possible for the body to function properly. If the heart is weakened and cannot supply the cells with sufficient blood, the patient becomes tired and breathless. Everyday activities that were once taken for granted become challenging. Heart failure is a serious condition, and there is usually no cure. However, with the right treatment, the patient can still lead an enjoyable, meaningful, and productive life. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, approximately 5.7 million people in the United States have heart failure. Heart failure, heart attack, and cardiac arrest Heart failure comes in many forms and has many causes."

If your doctor thinks you have cardiomyopathy, you might need to undergo several tests to confirm the diagnosis, including: Chest X-ray. An image of your heart will show whether it's enlarged. Echocardiogram. This uses sound waves to produce images of the heart, which show its size and its motions as it beats. This test checks your heart valves and helps your doctor determine the cause of your symptoms. Electrocardiogram (ECG). In this noninvasive test, electrode patches are attached to your skin to measure electrical impulses from your heart. An ECG can show disturbances in the electrical activity of your heart, which can detect abnormal heart rhythms and areas of injury. Treadmill stress test."

"text": "Natriuretic Peptides Jacob George, Allan D. Struthers, in Comprehensive Hypertension, 2007BIOCHEMISTRYStructure and synthesis The three natriuretic peptides each have a 17–amino-acid ring structure that is linked by a disulfide bond between two cysteine residues. The cyclic moiety has an especially high amino acid–sequence homology. Unlike BNP, which shows great interspecies variability, the primary structure of ANP and CNP is conserved between species. Atrial natriuretic peptide ANPPre-pro ANP is a 151–amino-acid precursor which contains a 25–amino-acid signal sequence. Removal of this signal peptide during synthesis gives rise to pro-ANP, also known as a-ANP, a 126–amino-acid peptide that is stored as membrane-bound granules in atrial cardiomyocytes. 12 This is the major storage form in atrial tissue, but humans differ from other species in having β-ANP, an antiparallel dimer of ANP present in atrial tissue of patients with heart failure. 13 β-ANP, like pro-ANP, has diuretic and natriuretic properties and a longer duration of action than ANP. 14Upon stimulation, these membrane-bound granules move to the cell surface and release stored pro-ANP, 15 which is cleaved by corin or pro-hormone convertase PCI/3, a transmembrane cardiac serine protease, to produce N-terminal ANP 1-98 (NT-ANP) and the biologically active ANP-28 (or ANP 99-126). 16 This processing probably occurs somewhere between secretion from atrial tissue and the entry of mature ANP into coronary sinus plasma. 18ANP-28, hereafter referred to simply as ANP, is a 28–amino-acid peptide with a 17–amino-acid ring structure closed by a disulfide bond between the two cysteine residues (see Figure 31-1 )."

Maisel, MD, FACCDisclosures J Am Coll Cardiol. 2007;50 (25)In This Article References The Basics There are 3 major NPs, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type NP, all of which share a common 17-amino-acid ring structure and have actions that are targeted at protecting the cardiovascular system from the effects of volume overload. The ANP and BNP are released primarily from the heart but circulate as hormones to act in various tissues in the body and induce vasodilation, natriuresis, and diuresis. [ 1] Although ANP is preferentially synthesized and secreted from the atria and BNP from the ventricles, both can be synthesized in either chamber under pathologic conditions. [ 2] Unlike ANP, which is stored in granules and thus released with even minor triggers such as exercise, BNP has minimal storage in granules; rather, it is synthesized and secreted in bursts. [ 3] C-type NP, derived primarily from endothelial cells, is also synthesized in myocardial tissue and might protect against remodeling effects in the post-myocardial infarction (MI) setting. [ 4]In the setting of volume expansion or pressure overload, the resulting wall stress initiates synthesis of pre-pro BNP in the ventricular myocardium. Subsequently, the peptide is cleaved first to pro BNP 1-108, then to the biologically active BNP 1-32 and the inactive amino-terminal fragment (NTpro BNP). The release of BNP results in improved myocardial relaxation and serves an important regulatory role in response to acute increases in ventricular volume by opposing the vasoconstriction, sodium retention, and antidiuretic effects of the activated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. [ 5] The biological actions of NPs are mediated through membrane-bound natriuretic peptide receptors (NPRs) that are linked to a cyclic guanosine monophosphate-dependent signaling cascade, including NPR-A, which preferentially binds ANP and BNP, and NPR-B, which preferentially binds C-type NP."

It usually affects people from ages 50-80, although there are a few cases of people being diagnosed as early as their late 20s. About two-thirds of the patients are male. AL amyloidosis is caused by a bone marrow disorder. The bone marrow in the center of bones produces cells in the blood system, including “plasma cells.” These plasma cells are the part of the immune system that makes antibodies for fighting infections. The term “immunoglobulin” refers to the class of proteins that function as antibodies. Immunoglobulins are composed of four protein chains: two light chains, either kappa or lambda light chains, and two heavy chains, of which there are several types. These proteins are produced by the plasma cells in the bone marrow. In AL patients, these plasma cells produce an abnormal antibody (immunoglobulin) protein."

"text": "Heart Failure and the BNP Blood Test Articles On Heart Failure Diagnosis How Is Heart Failure Diagnosed? BNP Blood Test Echocardiogram When you have heart failure, your heart makes two proteins. Your doctor will call them B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro-BNP (NT-pro-BNP). Levels of both in your blood go up when your heart failure gets worse and go down when it gets better. A test called a BNP blood test measures those two important levels. It’s able to spot heart failure more than 80% of the time. Why Is a BNP Blood Test Needed? BNP levels help your doctor figure out if you have heart failure or something else that has similar symptoms such as shortness of breath. The test also shows if your heart failure has worsened. It’ll help your doctor decide what treatments you need and if you need to be hospitalized."

CRP is named according to its capacity for the precipitation of the C-polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae. CRP is the first acute-phase protein that has been described as a test for pneumococcal pneumonia. [ 4, 5] It is a sensitive marker of systemic inflammation and tissue damage. The main biological role of CRP is activation of the complement system and of other proinflammatory processes. [ 6] In healthy young people the median serum concentration of CRP is 0.8 mg/l with a 90% percentile of 3.0 mg/l. As a consequence of an acute-phase stimulus, CRP serum concentrations can increase from less than 50 µg/l to more than 500 mg/l – a 10,000-fold increase. Under the influence of IL-6 and IL-1, CRP leads to an unspecific biochemical reaction with a rapid upregulation of the synthesis of a variety of proteins, especially in hepatocytes."

"text": "Restrictive mitral annuloplasty with a rigid annuloplasty ring is the preferred treatment for secondary mitral regurgitation [1, 2]. A high recurrence rate of mitral regurgitation has led physicians to use smaller annuloplasty ring sizes [3]. This, in turn, inevitably leads to a degree of mitral stenosis [4]. Whether this mitral stenosis is clinically relevant remains controversial [4, 5]. It seems logical to expect mild to moderate mitral gradients to increase significantly with exercise, especially because changes in exercise-induced left ventricle (LV) geometry lead to even bigger leaflet restriction [6]. On the other hand, it is not known whether the degree of mitral stenosis created by restrictive mitral annuloplasty limits patients’ exercise capacity [6, 7]. Secondary mitral regurgitation typically develops in patients with a depressed LV function, so it may well be that the heart failure itself, rather than mitral stenosis, limits these patients’ functional status. Our study was conducted to address this problem. Material and Methods Patients who had undergone restrictive mitral annuloplasty for functional mitral regurgitation were examined with exercise echocardiography and ergospirometry to assess exercise mitral valve gradients and their exercise capacity. We chose to examine the patients who had undergone implantation with size 26 Carpentier-Edwards classic annuloplasty ring because this is the smallest ring size used in our institution. The study protocol was approved by the local bioethics committee. After obtaining informed consent, we rested each patient on a couch for at least 1 hour. Next, a blood sample was taken to measure baseline serum N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and catecholamine levels. We then performed a baseline echocardiographic assessment, after which the patient underwent exercise echocardiographic examination and ergospirometry. The patient was allowed to rest for at least 2 hours between the exercise tests. The order of the 2 tests was randomized among the patients."

In this image, pain and itch sensory neurons are shown in red. [ North Carolina State University]Along the signaling pathways connecting the skin and the brain, there are gatekeepers, neurotransmitters that relay signals, or not, depending on whether the signals are of the sort the brain interprets as itching sensations, or pain sensations. These gatekeepers, found recently by scientists based at North Carolina University, raise the possibility that drugs could be developed targeting itching, but not pain, or vice versa. A particular kind of neurotransmitter, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), has been studied by North Carolina State University researchers. BNP is expressed in a small number of sensory nerve cells or neurons. The researchers knew that BNP helps transmit itching sensations from the skin to the brain. But was it also involved in transmitting pain sensations? To explore this question, the researchers looked at whether BNP played a role in transmitting acute, inflammatory, or neuropathic pain in mice. They found that BNP plays no role in pain transmission."

"text": "California Renters Credit - How Does It Work? What is California Renter's Credit? ( Updated - April 2015)If you're new to California, you may have heard about California Renter's Credit, but don't know how it works. Even many people who are long-time California residents may not understand or know much about this program. This article intends to explain some of the generalities about this particular tax credit. Simply put, the California Renter's Credit is a non-refundable credit worth sixty dollars (or a hundred and twenty dollars if you're married, filing jointly or a widow/widower) that can be applied to your California income tax if you've lived in a rental property for more than half the year, freeing up money that you might have to spend on renters insurance or other bills (find out how much this would cost in your area by clicking on the link). You can only use this credit to offset your tax liability – if you didn't have any liability this year, you will be unable to claim the credit. The Criteria to claim CA Renters Credit The qualifications for claiming the nonrefundable California Renter's Credit include the following: You must have been a resident of California in the previous tax year You must have a California Adjusted Gross Income, or AGI, of less than a certain amount. At the time of writing this article (April 2015), single filers must earn less than $37,768 and married people filing jointly, heads of household, and qualified widows or widowers must earn less than $75,536. You must have paid rent for at least half of the previous year for property that was your principal legal residence."

Data Dumps – Lists a bunch of facts, but provides no stance or editorial viewpoint. Generic Marketing Content – Not reviews, but rather rewritten marketing material. This review is none of the above. I have written about Safeco Insurance three times over the last two and a half years, and this is an accumulation of everything I have learned along the way. I truly hope it will help you in your research. Safeco Insurance Overview This overview of Safeco is admittedly the boring part. It has good information, but I won’t be upset if you want to skip ahead. The company’s primary sales force is a network of independent agents and agencies licensed to sell their products. This is significant because it differs from popular companies like GEICO, Esurance and Progressive, which are direct-to-consumer companies."

In contrast, a guarantee is an obligation of one party assuring the other party that guarantor will perform the promise of the third party if it defaults. Indemnities form the basis of many insurance contracts; for example, a car owner may purchase different kinds of insurance as an indemnity for various kinds of loss arising from operation of the car, such as damage to the car itself, or medical expenses following an accident. In an agency context, a principal may be obligated to indemnify their agent for liabilities incurred while carrying out responsibilities under the relationship. While the events giving rise to an indemnity may be specified by contract, the actions that must be taken to compensate the injured party are largely unpredictable, and the maximum compensation is often expressly limited.

No Thanks Download FREE Report Personal Risk Management: An Overview Insurance for Dummies author Jack Hungelmann outlines 16 commitments agents should consider if they want to add risk management services to their personal lines insurance department. Jack Hungelmann Personal Risk Management March 2004This is the first of what I expect to be several columns on the subject of personal risk management. Like all first columns on any subject, this one starts with an overview. It is directed to personal lines insurance agents who desire to expand their services to personal lines clients and who wish to include risk management advice to help those clients manage all their risks—property, liability, life, and health. Defining Personal Risk Management Personal risk management (PRM), as I will use that phrase in this series, is the process of applying risk management principles to the needs of individual consumers. PRM is the process of identifying, measuring, and treating personal risk (including, but not limited to, insurance), followed by implementing the treatment plan and monitoring changes over time. Risk Management Rewards Quality over Quantity The problem with traditional agent compensation on personal lines policies is that the premiums on most policies are relatively small and, therefore, so are the commissions. Agent compensation is highest under that commission-only structure for those who sell the most policies—not for those who best protect the client. In short, personal lines agents currently get paid for quantity rather than quality."

"text": "Boat Insurance Policy Coverage – How Much Do You Need? By Angela Colley Posted in: Cars & Transportation, Insurance Share Tweet Pin Comments My dad is an avid sailor. Notice I said “avid” and not “good.” In his many sailing adventures, he has – among other disasters – been stuck on a sandbar, mired in an oyster bed, and sprung a leak – having to quickly bail while the coast guard drove out to save him. Legally, when you own a sailboat, it’s mandatory to have a boat insurance policy, which is good news for my dad. Other boaters, on the other hand, aren’t always tied to the same regulations, but that doesn’t mean you should forego insurance just because you don’t have to have it. Where I live, more people own boats than they do cars, and I’ve seen quite a few boating accidents (and not just in boats driven by my dad). These boating accidents can spell disaster if you don’t have proper insurance. Boat repairs are costly, and if the boat sinks, you may lose your entire investment (not to mention all of the personal property inside). A boat insurance policy will help protect you against loss, but you may end up throwing your hard earned money into the sea if you choose the wrong policy."

It all depends on where your boat is registered. In Florida, currently you do not need proof of insurance to register a boat. If you are operating a boat that requires a registration you really should cough up the $150-200 a year to ensure you're covered if the worst happens. God forbid you get really hurt out on the water where your auto and or home owner's policy doesn't cover your medical expenses. Or worst, you hurt someone else through your own negligence and lose everything you own to a lawsuit."

"text": "\"DP3 vs. HO3The DP3 refers to an insurance policy on a residential building, usually rented to others. The HO3 is reserved for homeowners, but not exclusively for single-family homes. If you own a multi family (2-4 family) property and live in one of the units, then you can usually use the tried, true, and tested HO-3 homeowners policy to cover the entire building, your contents (your stuff), and your own personal liability exposure. Because you live there, the cost of insurance is lower than when you don't. If the owner does not live at the property, a homeowners policy won't work; instead, use a \"\"Dwelling Fire Policy\"\" to protect your interests properly. The most popular dwelling fire policy is known as the DP-3. The DP-3 is popular because it is an “ Open Peril ” policy that covers losses to the building’s structure, 'loss of use' or rental coverage, and customarily personal liability as well. Contents (also known as personal property, such as furniture or appliances) are NOT automatically included the same way as in the homeowners policy, but can be added. Many rentals don't include furniture, so there's no charge, unless you add this. If the owner insures a rental property with an HO-3, but lives elsewhere, it's a bad fit; you risk NOT being covered for losses."

An injury settlement or a verdict at trial is great, but that doesn’t help you pay your medical bills now. This article will discuss how your medical bills get paid on an ongoing basis. The simple answer is that it depends on the type of accident that you have, the state that you live in, and the type of insurance that is involved. Read on for the details. ( For information on the compensation you're entitled to in a personal injury claim following your accident -- including money for medical bills -- see Damages in an Accident Injury Claim ). General Rule – The Defendant Does Not Have to Pay Your Medical Bills on an Ongoing Basis The most important thing to know is that, if you get into an accident, you are generally responsible for the payment of your medical bills as you incur them. The only exception is car accidents in “no fault” states, discussed below. Even if the person who injured you is clearly at fault, the law does not require him or her to pay your medical bills on an ongoing basis. The only thing the law requires is that, if the other person is at fault, he or she must pay you damages to resolve your lawsuit -- and in many cases, your medical bills are a part of those damages."

Before long, they began creating the first artificial reefs, often out of nothing more than a pile of rocks. In Japan, the old fishing communities that first discovered the usefulness of artificial reefs gradually evolved into cooperatives that came to own the reefs outright, and today their reefs are well protected, productive resources. But elsewhere, very few ownership schemes developed. Thus, even though artificial reefs remain popular fishing sites, few of the people who fish them are directly involved in creating them. The private ownership of marine resources can be a very effective conservation tool. In the United States, however, private rights to the seabed are virtually nonexistent. Some clandestine artificial reef creation went on as early as the 1920s, but never on a large scale. Then in 1984, Congress passed the National Fishing Enhancement Act, which encouraged the states to construct artificial reefs. And they did, using everything from old tires, coal ash blocks and automobiles to decommissioned ships and oil rigs."

In the simplest of terms, “you don’t have to be a millionaire to be sued like one. ”Contrary to popular belief umbrella policies are not just for the wealthy. Like an umbrella that protects you from the rain, an “excess liability policy,” commonly known as an umbrella policy provides an extra layer of insurance for coverage over your standard liability policies for covered claims. An umbrella can protect your existing personal assets, your earnings and future earnings. If you were to lose a lawsuit, in excess of your auto and home liability limits, you would likely have to pay the winning party for pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, etc. Even if you have no assets your wages can be garnished."

"text": "Physical Damages – What is NOT Covered? All boat insurance policies have exclusions. The boat owner has the responsibility to maintain their boat, and so normal wear and tear is often excluded under a boat or yacht policy. Other exclusions can include gradual deterioration, weathering, insects, mold, animals, and other marine life. The number and type of physical damage exclusions vary from company to company, so take the time to compare to avoid surprises later. For instance, some companies include coverage for damage caused by zebra mussels, while some do not. Also, it is important to know that most policies will not cover a defective item that directly causes damage to your insured boat, but will cover the resulting damage itself. For instance, if your water pump is faulty and causes damage to your boat, the water pump itself is excluded, but the damage to your boat will be covered. Other policies can also have machinery damage exclusions while others do not. If your machinery is damaged by improper use, and a policy without a machinery damage exclusion will cover the engine; those with a machinery damage exclusion would not cover the loss."

While all drowning cases involve a life ended too soon, some drowning accidents also involve legal liability. This does not mean that anyone meant for a drowning to occur, but rather that a legal liability of some sort was not met, and this led to someone drowning. If someones negligence or recklessness causes another person to drown, the victims family may receive compensation for the loss of their loved one through a wrongful death lawsuit. Drowning Lawsuits When a loved one dies in a drowning accident cause by the negligence or recklessness of someone else, the victims family may sue, alleging wrongful death. This can be because someone else physically caused the drowning, or because whoever is responsible for the pool or waterway was negligent or reckless in the operation of the pool, and their behavior (or lack of action) caused the drowning in question. For example, a public pool or swimming hole may offer lifeguards. If negligent or reckless behavior of a lifeguard contributed to a drowning death, the operator of the pool or swimming hole may be liable for wrongful death. The same can be true if a lack of maintenance at a pool, spa or swimming hole causes someone to drown. Boating Accidents Many drowning accidents involve water sports."

Originally a dark beer, a modern bock can range from light copper to brown in colour. [ 1] The style is very popular, with many examples brewed internationally.

[ 2] The style from Einbeck was later adopted by Munich brewers in the 17th century and adapted to the new lager style of brewing. Due to their Bavarian accent, citizens of Munich pronounced \"\"Einbeck\"\" as \"\"ein Bock\"\" (\"\"a billy goat \"\"), and thus the beer became known as \"\"bock\"\". To this day, as a visual pun, a goat often appears on bock labels. [ 2]Bock is historically associated with special occasions, often religious festivals such as Christmas, Easter or Lent (the latter as Lentenbock )."

Gianni Ferrari/Getty Images On September 22nd, 1964, the musical \"\"Fiddler on the Roof\"\" opened on Broadway with Zero Mostel was the star. Joseph Stein's storybook about the people of the village of Anatevka in czarist Russia in 1905, based on the writings of Sholom Aleichem, proved truly historic in the hands of producer Harold Prince and director Jerome Robbins. And, with Sheldon Harnick's lyrics and Jerry Bock's score, the show became among the most important and enjoyable works in Broadway history\"\"Fiddler on the Roof\"\" went on to have one of the longest runs in the history of the Great White Way, and its music and characters endure more than 35 years later in high school productions and dinner theaters across the country and on stages around the world. Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick told us the story behind the words and the music they wrote together for \"\"Fiddler on the Roof,\"\" much of which was guided by the hand of Jerome Robbins. \"\" Robbins as director was aware that once you go into rehearsal, you get on a toboggan slide,\"\" Harnick recalls. \"\" You go into rehearsal, and the next day you open in New York. There's just so little time so that what he wanted was six months of preproduction meetings because he wanted to try and head off any problems, anything that he could solve ahead of time. \"\" Jerome Robbins is legendary for his directorial success, and, as Bock explains, that derives from his search for depth in his material. \"\" Perhaps the most intriguing question that we were ever asked, not having been asked this before in all our professional career—the first question he asked was, `All right, what is the piece about?'\"\""

"text": "A List of the Different Types of Beer December 20, 2014 CB Alcohol, Beer 0There are two major types of beer, namely Ales and lagers. The major difference is the level of temperature at which the alcoholic drink is fermented. Note that Ales are fermented at hotter temperatures 65-75°F while Lagers are fermented at cooler temperatures ranging 46-55°F. The second dissimilarity is the form of yeast applied in the fermentation method. Ales typically makes use of top fermenting yeast which floats to the beer surface for the initial couple of days and then settles at the base while Lagers make use of bottom fermenting yeast which settles without necessarily floating to the surface. Lambic is another major type of beer although it is far less popular than Ales or Lagers. Lambic uses wild yeast for fermentation. Types of Ales Ales are sweet, tasty beers. They come in different color shades ranging from pale gold to shady, rich brown color based on the grains applied in the brewing procedure. Amber Ale – Belongs under the Belgian Ale."

"text": "« Back to Articles Stepping up to Lager Brewing07/25/2012Stepping up to Lager Brewing—Part I: An Overview of the Brewing Process Patience is required to master the complex process of producing high-quality lager, but U. S. home brewers are embracing the technology to brew lagers every bit as clean and delicate as those of Europe. This installment of Home Brewery Advancement begins a two-part series on some of the important processes required to brew lager beers. This issue, I summarize the process of lager brewing. In the next issue, I will explore the chemistry and art of the lagering process. A Long and Delicate Process Lagers are very different from ales in recipe formulation, brewhouse processes, and the all-important temperature-controlled fermentation and lagering. Lagers are much less forgiving than ales because they are delicate, clean, and balanced. Fruity esters, hot higher alcohols, and the huge bittering levels often found in ales are usually avoided in lagers. Jim Busch is an electrical engineer developing satellite communications systems for NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Jim’s been an all-grain brewer since 1989, and when he’s not beer hunting, he’s often in his backyard brewery (with his Labrador Retriever, Dunkles) that he designed and built in 1992. Good lagers are hard to find in the United States, and until recently it was rare to find many home brewers who understood the subtleties of lager brewing."

"text": "In the United States, our higher education system is broken. Since 1980, we’ve seen a 400% increase in the cost of higher education, after adjustment for inflation — a higher cost escalation than any other industry, even health care. We have recently passed the trillion dollar mark in student loan debt in the United States. How long can a business model succeed that forces students to accumulate $200,000 or more in debt and cannot guarantee jobs — even years after graduation? We need transformational innovations to stop this train wreck. A new business model will only emerge through continuous discovery and experimentation and will be defined by market demands, start-ups, a Silicon Valley mindset, and young technology experts. Neither the pedagogical model nor the value equation of traditional higher education have changed much in the past fifty years. Harvard, MIT, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford are still considered the best schools in the world, but their cost is significantly higher today than two decades ago. According to Rafael Reif, MIT’s president, who spoke at the Davos conference this past January, there are three major buckets that make up the total annual expense (about $50,000) of attending a top-notch university such as MIT: student life, classroom instruction, and projects and lab activities. There is a significant opportunity to help reduce the lecture portion of expenses using technology innovations."

Answer by Cjonb Confidence votes 27.6KIf the hotdog is uncooked (very rare in this day and age), it takes about 20-30 minutes steaming to raise the internal temperature to about 150F. As hot dogs are frequently pork products, they should be cooked until the internal temp remains at this level for 15 or so minutes. Almost all hotdogs nowadays are purchased cooked.

Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: None other than Anheuser-Busch, the world’s largest brewer, has deigned Ziegen Bock Amber. Anheuser-Busch began brewing Ziegen Bock in 1995. It is brewed in Houston, and only sold in Texas. You can, however, purchase Michelob Amber Bock just about anywhere in the United States. Although the two beers are very similar, there seems to be a slight difference, with the Amber Bock having perhaps a slightly more roasted character. I am not sure about a tour, but you could call them and ask."

Draught/Draft: A beer that has been served from, or conditioned in a cask (barrel). The term has been used misleadingly on \"\"canned\"\" and \"\"bottled\"\" beer, to suggest the taste is similar to beer from a cask. Draught beer is usually unpasteurized and suffers no loss of taste due to boiling. It should be consumed after being \"\"tapped\"\" and is generally truer to the flavors of the ingredients, as pasteurization exposes the beer to heat and changes the flavor profile. Draught beer should be refrigerated between 35°F and 40°F. Above this temperature, beer may become wild or turn sour and cloudy in a few days.

"text": "June 27, 2013Different Types of Lagers A few weeks back the blog discussed the two main types of beer: Ales and Lagers. For those of you who haven’t read it, it’s quite simple; Ales and Lagers make up almost all beers (except for specialty beer which is a whole other thing). These two main beers, however, have sub-categories of beer underneath them that specify different brewing methods and taste variations. This post will focus on the different types of lagers available. What is a Lager Beer? Lager beers differ from Ales by that they ferment at much lower temperatures and the yeast flocculates at the bottom of the brew rather than the top. As well, the yeast typically leaves behind a residual sweetness that comes from the more aggressive fermenting process. Last, the aging process is much longer than Ales. While Ales age for only a few weeks, Lagers can age for several months before they are ready to drink. What results is a much more clean and clear beer compared to most Ales."

Biochemical Oxygen Demand ( BOD, also called Biological Oxygen Demand) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed (i.e. demanded) by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period. The BOD value is most commonly expressed in milligrams of oxygen consumed per litre of sample during 5 days of incubation at 20 °C and is often used as a surrogate of the degree of organicpollution of water. [ 1]BOD can be used as a gauge of the effectiveness of wastewater treatment plants. It is listed as a conventional pollutant in the U. S. Clean Water Act. BOD is similar in function to chemical oxygen demand (COD), in that both measure the amount of organic compounds in water.

"text": "Lagoon Duckweed: Friend or Foe? Posted on June 6, 2016 by Patrick Hill Duckweed, or water lens, is a rapidly growing, invasive aquatic plant that loves wastewater lagoons due to the presence of nutrients ammonia and phosphorus. Since summertime is high season for lagoon duckweed, it seems like a good time to talk about it—what it is, what it does, and whether it’s a friend or a foe in your wastewater lagoon. What is lagoon duckweed? Duckweed is a small leafy plant that can completely cover the surface of a lagoon in days. Duckweed is a small, leafy flowering plant that proliferates rapidly in stagnant or slow-moving water. It’s found all over the world, except in the coldest environments. It spreads easily, either through water channels or by hitching a ride on unsuspecting waterfowl. Once it lands in a nice quiet spot, it proliferates rapidly, doubling its coverage in less than two days with the potential to completely cover an acre of surface in 45 days. Duckweed is often mistaken for algae since they’re both green and cover water surfaces."

Photo by Michael Yarish/AMCThe youth of America have been whispering about something they call the “dad bod” for years, trading definitions on Urban Dictionary and presenting photographic evidence on Total Frat Move. But it wasn’t until last month—when 19-year-old Clemson University sophomore Mackenzie Pearson published the explanatory essay “ Why Girls Love The Dad Bod ” on the college-focused website the Odyssey —that the term broke out of the teenage vernacular and into the general population. Amanda Hess Amanda Hess is a David Carr fellow at the New York Times.

Wastewater effluent is the final product of all earlier treatment processes, and it can be discharged to a stream, river, bay, lagoon or wetland. Sometimes effluent is used to irrigate a golf course, green belt or park, or to recharge groundwater (Davis, 2004). Figure 1. The dangers of contact with untreated effluent. In 1972, the U.

The Clean Water Act also required states to adopt standards for water quality, and report to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) every two years. Wastewater Effluent must be in such a state of purity that the receiving waters into which it is released are not adversely affected, and these ecosystems are not harmed.

"text": "Biochemical oxygen demand or BOD is a chemical procedure for determining the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms in a body of water to break down organic material present in a given water sample at certain temperature over a specific time period. It is not a precise quantitative test, although it is widely used as an indication of the organic quality of water. It is most commonly expressed in milligrams of oxygen consumed per liter of sample during 5 days (BOD 5) of incubation at 20°C and is often used as a robust surrogate of the degree of organic pollution of water. BOD directly affects the amount of dissolved oxygen in rivers and streams. The rate of oxygen consumption is affected by a number of variables: temperature, p H, the presence of certain kinds of microorganisms, and the type of organic and inorganic material in the water. The greater the BOD, the more rapidly oxygen is depleted in the stream. This means less oxygen is available to higher forms of aquatic life. The consequences of high BOD are the same as those for low dissolved oxygen: aquatic organisms become stressed, suffocate, and die. Sources of BOD include topsoil, leaves and woody debris; animal manure; effluents from pulp and paper mills, wastewater treatment plants, feedlots, and food-processing plants; failing septic systems; and urban stormwater runoff. BOD is affected by the same factors that affect dissolved oxygen."

In regard to overall health, weight is not nearly as important as the composition of that weight. More important, rather than tracking weight, we should be aware of our body composition. Stepping on a weight scale simply tells us the combined weight of all our body’s tissues. That weight may fluctuate throughout the day depending on the time of day, hydration status or what we are wearing. In contrast, body composition reveals the relative proportions of fat and lean mass in the body. Fat mass consist of two types of fat: essential and nonessential fat. The second component of body composition, lean mass, refers to bones, tissues, organs and muscle. Essential fat is the minimal amount of fat necessary for normal physiological function."

These issues and problems include inadequate drinking-water supply and sanitation facilities, water pollution, floods, the siltation of river systems, and the management of rivers and large dams. These problems are more severe and widespread in the developing countries than in the world's wealthier, industrialized ones. Barriers to addressing water problems in developing nations include poverty, illiteracy, rapid population growth, and ineffective institutions and policies for developing, distributing, pricing, and conserving water resources. The complex patterns of these problems in the developing countries are shaped by differences in wealth, environment, and political systems. For example, extreme poverty in much of sub-Saharan Africa limits access to quality water services. Bangladesh's location at the confluence of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers makes it one of the world's most flood-prone nations. The political system of apartheid in South Africa for years limited the access of rural blacks to adequate water resources. Such differences and patterns must be considered when evaluating water resource problems in the developing nations.

In this self experiment I tracked lean muscle mass gains, improved metabolism (ketones, glucose), strong regeneration signaling (IGF-1) and a couple of downsides. Last month I undertook my first 5 day water fast. It is turned out to be a really helpful tool for my health and productivity, so I committed to make it a monthly ritual for 12 months. With each month the plan was to push the edge a bit to learn more from the experience – refining the approach to the fast with the different options available and tracking the results to see what could give me the biggest payoff for least effort. Enter the “Fast Mimicking Diet” – an easier and safer way to get the same benefits as pure water fasting. It created a spark of media coverage around it following the publication of a new research paper on it in June 2015. Two of the articles actually had two journalists become fast mimicking diet guinea pigs for 5 days ( Peter Bowes at the BBC, and Victoria Lambert at The Telegraph ). It’s clear to me that most people will never do a water fast because it looks like a psychological feat fit only for diet equivalent of extreme sports fanatics. So the Fast Mimicking Diet was an obvious choice for fasting experiment #2."

Occasionally, insurance policy holders who have been injured in accidents that they were at fault for call their insurance company or their attorney to ask: how much money will I get for my pain and suffering? The answer is usually; nothing. Here is why. A first party claim is made by a policy holder to his or her own insurance company. These claims are contractual; meaning that they arise out of a contract (the insurance policy) between the insurance company and the policy holder. They may be claims again the policy-holder’s own Medical Payment coverage or Personal Injury Protection coverage, or the like. These policy provisions pay up to the policy limits, which are usually low, for incurred medical expenses and/or lost wages due to injuries caused by the accident. They do not pay additional monies for pain and suffering. Legal speak: one cannot be liable to oneself."

"text": "Understanding Legal Liability for Condominium Association and Unit Owners Email This Print Tweet August 9, 2011 by Christopher J. Boggs, CPCU, ARM, ALCMLegal liability is liability imposed by the courts or by statute on any person or entity responsible for the financial injury or damage suffered by another person, group, or entity. Legal obligations, or legal liability, can arise from intentional acts, unintentional acts, or contracts. When the potentially liable parties are mutual beneficiaries and users/occupiers of the same location, the need for each party to be properly insured is of paramount importance. Residential condominium associations and individual unit owners are prime examples of this need to close all gaps in liability protection. Essentially there are three legal liability possibilities following bodily injury or property damage at a residential condominium property. Legal liability is placed on: 1) the condominium association; 2) the unit owner; or 3) jointly on the association and the unit owner. When legal liability is assigned to only one party, whether it be the association or the unit owner, defining coverage is easy. The cost of the bodily injury or property damage is covered, subject to policy limits, by the at-fault party’s insurance policy: The association’s commercial general liability (CGL) coverage pays if the association is found to be solely negligent; or The unit owner’s HO-6 pays if legal liability is solely placed on the owner. The unit owner’s liability coverage (most commonly provided by the HO-6) is generally first dollar protection. Likewise, the association’s CGL may be written providing first dollar protection; however, many associations utilize a deductible or self-insured retention (SIR)."

Your car liability insurance will cover the damage to their car.

"text": "Autogenius How much does the Tesla Model 3 cost to insure?by Constance Brinkley-Badgett July 26th, 2017Last spring you — and roughly 373,000 of your closest friends — plunked down $1,000 to get on the waiting list for Tesla’s latest “affordable” electric vehicle, the Model 3. If you’re among the first lucky customers to get your vehicle as they roll off the production line in August and September, you’re going to need an insurance policy to cover your fancy, new $35,000 machine. Here’s what you need to know as you begin your search for Tesla Model 3 insurance.1. It’s not going to be cheap…We looked at several insurance company websites to see what coverage costs looked like in different states and among different age groups to get a sense of how the Tesla Model 3 will compare to other vehicles. Keep in mind these are just examples. There are many factors that go into calculating insurance premiums besides type of vehicle. These include your age, driving record, state and even county of residence, how far you drive, and your credit history, to name just a few. Plus, every insurance company uses its own rating software. That said, here’s what we found. For a 50-year-old, married woman with a clean driving record and good credit living in Texas, the cost for coverage would run approximately $1,835 per year."

This article will explain how claims arising from your products or completed work are covered under a general liability policy. Manufacturers and Sellers If your company manufactures or sells a product, your firm could be the subject of a product liability claim. It means that someone could file a claim against you alleging that a product you made or sold is defective, causing injury to that party or damaging his or her property. For example, suppose that you own Chic Chairs, a company that manufactures ergonomic chairs. Your company was recently sued by a customer named Chuck. Chuck claims that he was sitting in a Chic chair he purchased when it unexpectedly tipped backward. He alleges that the defective chair caused him to fall and sustain a head injury. Chuck is seeking $25,000 in damages. Contractors and Service Providers Perhaps your firm doesn’t make or sell a product but performs work for someone else."

Plus many car insurance companies push renters to purchase insurance and there have been numerous complaints of visitors purchasing insurance they didn't need or want. So, what insurance is needed when renting a car in. California? It is hard to provide specific advice as people are different with different risk profiles and situations in life.

"text": "Personal Injury Insurance Definition - Personal Injury10:00 AM macky Personal Injury Insurance Definition PERSONAL INJURYThis is a good time to discuss the personal injury coverage that is included in some homeowners policies, or that is an optional coverage to be added by an endorsement to others (such at the ISO HO 3 policy). As noted, while there are some variations from insurer to insurer, personal injury liability coverage extends to five basic categories of acts or conduct. These include:false arrest, detention, or imprisonment:libel, slander, defamation, or product disparagement;malicious prosecution (which may include abuse of process);wrongful eviction, wrongful entry, or violation of right of private occupancy; and,invasion of or violation of right of privacy. None of these categories of conduct can be an accident. As a result, most homeowners liability coverages refer to the covered events as offenses, rather than attempting to subject them to the policy's occurrence/accident requirement. There is a temporal difference between the accident-base bodily injury and property damage coverage and the offense-based personal injury coverage. Coverage applies to bodily injury and property damage that occurs during the policy period, regardless of when the occurrence that causes the bodily injury or property damage takes place. In contrast, the offense-based personal injury coverage applies to that the injured commits during the policy period. As noted, the injury offenses involve intentional conduct. There are, however, limitations on the scope of coverage for these categories of intentional acts. ("

Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance protects business owners against claims of liability for bodily injury, property damage, and personal and advertising injury (slander and false advertising). Premises/operations coverage pays for bodily injury or property damage that occurs on your premises or as a result of your business operations. Products/completed operations coverage pays for bodily injury and property damage that occurs away from your business premises and is caused by your products or completed work. Excess liability insurance pays for covered losses that exceed your CGL policy's dollar limit. Umbrella liability insurance is excess liability insurance coverage above the limits of automobile liability and CGL policies. The umbrella policy also provides liability coverage for exposures not covered under the primary CGL insurance policies and not excluded by the umbrella liability insurance policy. Claims-Made Versus Occurrence Policies Occurrence policies cover claims arising from injury or damage occurring while the policy is in force, regardless of when the claim is first made. Claims-made policies cover claims that arise from injury or damage occurring during the policy period and reported to the insurer during the policy period."

Even in New Hampshire, which doesn’t explicitly require car insurance, you need to show proof of financial responsibility if you’re in an accident, and the easiest way to do that is with car insurance.

A person is bound by the terms in the boilerplate language upon signing the document, even if the person didn't read it. This has led to the voiding of contracts in some instances based upon mistake of fact. Boilerplate language in consumer contracts has been subject to criticism and some courts will void such contracts based on unconscionability when the terms are too one-sided in favor of the seller.

"text": "Of Boilerplate and Black’s Law Dictionary Posted on September 4, 2011 by Chris Staats“Legalese” is an oft-cited reason researchers give for their aversion to using deeds. I won’t waste time on my soapbox, preaching about the miracles to be found in the Book of Deeds – just trust me that those miracles are in there, waiting to be discovered. To be sure, the terminology can be a little daunting. Many resources are out there describing the more common (and important) terms to understand such as quitclaim, fee simple, deed of warranty, etc. Most resources, quite correctly, mention learning to recognize standard legal phrasing – commonly called boilerplate. Let me suggest that the very best thing you can do to get a better understanding of the language of deeds, is to both transcribe and abstract every deed of interest in your research. These are topics unto themselves, but in brief: Transcribing is copying the deed word-for-word, letter for letter (warts and all), while keeping the line breaks and page layout as close to the original as possible. Transcribing forces you to read every word on the page (and think about those words) without the mental “blah, blah, blah” skimming that is easy to do when encountering a particularly wordy passage. Abstracting is the process of keeping each piece of the transcription (preserving the original order) that is unique to the document you are working with, and removing the rest (boilerplate). The purpose is to create a concise version, accurate to the original and containing all the pertinent information – a version that is far easier to work with than the original."

Could someone let me have a Description of Mild Steel, How it is Made, Its uses, and the different products made out of Mild Steel Many Thanks,David Blaylock- Braintree, Essex, UKA. Hello David!In the States, \"\"mild steel\"\" refers to low carbon steel; typically the AISI grades 1005 through 1025, which are usually used for structural applications. With too little carbon content to through harden, it is weldable, which expands the possible applications. Yet according to my \"\"Materials Handbook\"\" [link is to product info at Amazon] by Brady, \"\"ingot iron\"\", a grade of nearly chemically pure iron used for construction and magnetic purposes, is also called \"\"mild steel\"\" in the UK. Hope this helps!Lee Gearhartmetallurgist A. David,You'd get a better answer if you approached one of the faculty at a local University!Mild steel = steel = iron ... where iron ore is heated up along with a goodly measure of coke along with, I believe some gypsum or lime to a eutectic melting point of 1050 °C ... eutectic meaning that if the right amount of concentrated iron ore is mixed with these ingredients, then the min. melting temperature in the blast furnace will be as above, i.e., less BTU losses. The resultant mix is iron ore or 'cast iron' but it is quite brittle. Ah, now to make it into steel, we have to reduce the phosphorus and sulphur content AND the carbon content... this is done by adding certain ingredients such as, I believe, aluminum to make the 'iron' more malleable somewhat, i.e., to make it into steel."

"text": "\"Tip of the Week #74: Delegating and Inheriting Constructors Originally posted as totw/74 on 2014-04-21By Bradley White ( [email protected])“Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too.” – Robert Half When a class has multiple constructors there is often a need to perform similar initialization in each variant. To avoid code duplication, many older classes resort to defining a private Shared Init () method that is called from the constructors. For example:class C {public: C ( int x, string s) { Shared Init ( x, s ); }explicit C ( int x) { Shared Init ( x, \"\"\"\" ); }explicit C ( string s) { Shared Init ( 0, s ); }C () { Shared Init ( 0, \"\"\"\" ); }private:void Shared Init ( int x, string s) { … }};C++11 provides a new mechanism, delegating constructors, for dealing with such situations more clearly by allowing one constructor to be defined in terms of another. It is also an efficiency gain if the class has members that are expensive to default-initialize.class C {public: C ( int x, string s) { … }explicit C ( int x): C ( x, \"\"\"\") {}explicit C ( string s): C ( 0, s) {}C (): C ( 0, \"\"\"\") {}};Note that if you delegate to another constructor you cannot also use a member initialization list – all initialization is done by the delegated constructor. Don’t go overboard though. If all the shared code does is set members, separate member-initialization lists or in-class initializers are probably clearer than using delegating constructors. Use good judgement. Aside: an object is not considered complete until the delegating constructor returns; in practice, this only matters if the constructors can throw, as they leave the delegated-from objects in an incomplete state. Another, less common form of constructor code duplication occurs when extending the behavior of a multi-constructor class through a wrapper."

Black's Law Dictionary defines \"\"boilerplate\"\" as:\"\"Language which is used commonly in documents having a definite meaning in the same context without variation; used to describe standard language in a legal document that is identical in instruments of a like nature.\"\" ii Although efficiency, cost reduction and experience would lead many jurists to accept boilerplate provisions as a routine and, perhaps, encouraged practice, the boilerplate continues to connote language that is \"\"hackneyed\"\" or \"\"predictable\"\" iii. With the increasing use of word-processors, self-help books and electronic precedents, the urge to use boilerplate is greater than ever before. Yet a danger awaits the careless practitioner who \"\"cuts and pastes\"\" but fails to consider in each case the appropriateness of a boilerplate provision. A court may interpret vague or unclear provisions against the drafting party or severthe provisions entirely. Worse still, an inappropriate boilerplate may divest a client of certain rights. This paper will restate principles of contractual interpretation before stepping through some of the common terms used in intellectual property licences with guidelines on when they should be included and when to leave them out."

"text": "The Apollo Program (1963 - 1972)30th Anniversary of Apollo 11 - July, 1999The Apollo program was designed to land humans on the Moon and bring them safely back to Earth. Six of the missions (Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17) achieved this goal. Apollos 7 and 9 were Earth orbiting missions to test the Command and Lunar Modules, and did not return lunar data. Apollos 8 and 10 tested various components while orbiting the Moon, and returned photography of the lunar surface. Apollo 13 did not land on the Moon due to a malfunction, but also returned photographs. The six missions that landed on the Moon returned a wealth of scientific data and almost 400 kilograms of lunar samples. Experiments included soil mechanics, meteoroids, seismic, heat flow, lunar ranging, magnetic fields, and solar wind experiments.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Code folding example on PHP with vim. Code folding is a feature of some text editors, source code editors, and IDEs that allows the user to selectively hide and display – \"\"fold\"\" – sections of a currently-edited file as a part of routine edit operations. This allows the user to manage large amounts of text while viewing only those subsections of the text that are specifically relevant at any given time. Identification of folds can be automatic, most often based on the syntax of the computer language in question, indentation, or manual, either based on an in-band marker (saved as part of the source code) or specified out-of-band, only within the editor. Many editors provide disclosure widgets for code folding in a sidebar, next to line numbers, indicated for example by a triangle that points sideways (if collapsed) or down (if expanded), or by a [-] box for collapsible (expanded) text, and a [+] box for expandable (collapsed) text. This feature is commonly used by some computer programmers to manage source code files, and is also frequently used in data comparison, to only view the changed text. Text folding is a similar feature used in folding editors, outliners, and some word processors, but is used for ordinary text and, if automatic, is based on syntax of human languages, particularly paragraphs, or section levels, rather than syntax of a computer language. Another variant of code folding is \"\"data folding\"\", which is implemented in some hex editors and is used to structure a binary file or hide inaccessible data sections in a RAM-editor. [ 1] There are various alternative terms for such features, including \"\"expand and collapse\"\", \"\"code hiding\"\", and \"\"outlining\"\". In Microsoft word, the feature is called \"\"collapsible outlining\"\"."

"title": "http://corporate.findlaw.com/law-library/liability-limitations.html\nLiability Limitations",
"text": "\"Liability Limitations Why is it important to protect yourself when you purchase technology assets? When a business purchases, licenses or outsources technology-based products and services, it is often presented with the seller's standard form agreement, which contains various boilerplate provisions, including a broadly drafted limitation of liability. The standard form limitation of liability provision usually contains two types of limitations: one excludes certain types of damages; and the other limits the monetary amount that can be recovered. Typically, the enthusiastic buyer gives these provisions little thought, envisioning instead the future success of the product, the business opportunities, or the cost savings and efficiencies that the new technology will generate. But liability provisions should be considered carefully, with a view to ensuring that both parties know the risks and that the agreement clearly sets out which risks will be borne by each party. The stakes are high; losses from faulty technology often exceed the purchase price of the technology itself. A key system may be relatively cheap in comparison to the business losses that result when the system malfunctions. Consider the following fictional example: Consultants, Inc., a mid-sized consulting firm, has a budget for the year that includes money to update elements of its computer and database systems. The firm has agreed to purchase a new server ($10,000) for its billing system and has entered into a standard form agreement with the supplier. Although there are a number of strategies that Consultants, Inc. could have employed to reduce the risk inherent in this kind of purchase, the company wasn't aware of these strategies when it signed the contract."

"text": "The Right Way to do Equality in C#February 4, 2015One of the pitfalls of doing development in C#, Java, C++, or really any predominantly Object Oriented language (OOP) is how “equality” is defined. In C#, for instance, you have the following methods that are built into every object:object. Equalsthe == operator Reference Equals, for explicitly checking reference equality My personal opinion: in any managed language, checking for referential equality is a pretty bad default - and if you’re working with immutable objects then equality by reference doesn’t really work. In C/C++, where pointer arithmetic and knowing the precise location of something in memory matters it’s a different story. Equality by reference is the correct default in that case. What’s the right thing to do? Equality by value - i.e. determining if two objects are equal by comparing their content. In Akka. NET all message classes are supposed to be immutable, which means a reference to a message is useless as soon as someone modifies it (because it creates a copy.) Therefore the Akka."

I’m going to spend the next few paragraphs taking a look at a few of the better options out there. But first a little history…Objection Relational Mapping (ORM) has been around for more than 20 years. In the Java world there were also proprietary ORM solutions dating back to the mid-90s. But in 2001, Gavin King released Hibernate as Open Source and things have never been the same. At the time EJBs were the Enterprise solution for persistence. JDBC was the Java API for database connectivity. But people were beginning to notice the brittle nature of these solutions. Code maintenance was high, development cycles were long, and general dissatisfaction was brewing over the boilerplate code that had to be arduously developed over and over for the same types of solutions. Hibernate, and soon after Spring, became a new paradigm for faster and lighter Java based solutions."

"text": "\"The i, b, em, & strong elements Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 by Oli Studholme. Tweet While many HTML4 elements have been brought into HTML5 essentially unchanged, several historically presentational ones have been given semantic meanings. Let’s look at <i> and <b> and compare them to the semantic stalwarts <em> and <strong>. In summary:<i> — was italic, now for text in an “alternate voice”, such as transliterated foreign words, technical terms, and typographically italicized text ( W3C: Markup, WHATWG)<b> — was bold, now for “stylistically offset” text, such as keywords and typographically emboldened text ( W3C: Markup, WHATWG)<em> — was emphasis, now for stress emphasis, i.e., something you’d pronounce differently ( W3C: Markup, WHATWG)<strong> — was for stronger emphasis, now for strong importance, basically the same thing (stronger emphasis or importance is now indicated by nesting) ( W3C: Markup, WHATWG)Giving presentational elements new semantic meanings<i> and <b> were HTML4 font style elements and are still used presentationally where appropriate to follow typographic conventions. They now have semantic meaning, however, and their style can be changed via CSS, meaning they’re not only presentational — <b>, for example, doesn’t have to be bold. Because of this, it’s recommended to use classes to indicate meaning to make it easy to change the style later. The <i> element The i element represents a span of text in an alternate voice or mood, or otherwise offset from the normal prose in a manner indicating a different quality of text, such as a taxonomic designation, a technical term, an idiomatic phrase from another language, a thought, or a ship name in Western texts. HTML — Living Standard, WHATWGOther things that are typically italicised include transliterated foreign words (using the attribute lang = \"\"\"\" ), inline stage directions in a script, some musical notation, and when representing hand-written text inline: Deckard: Move! Get out of the way!Deckard fires. Kills Zhora in dramatic slow motion scene.

( See section 1.2 for a summary of the differences between SSH, Telnet and rlogin, and section 3.6 for an explanation of ‘raw’ connections. ) The ‘Port’ box lets you specify which port number on the server to connect to. If you select Telnet, Rlogin, or SSH, this box will be filled in automatically to the usual value, and you will only need to change it if you have an unusual server. If you select Raw mode, you will almost certainly need to fill in the ‘Port’ box.4.1.2 Loading and storing saved sessions The next part of the Session configuration panel allows you to save your preferred Pu TTY options so they will appear automatically the next time you start Pu TTY. It also allows you to create saved sessions, which contain a full set of configuration options plus a host name and protocol."

"text": "\"re – Regular Expressions ¶Purpose: Searching within and changing text using formal patterns. Available In: 1.5 and later Regular expressions are text matching patterns described with a formal syntax. The patterns are interpreted as a set of instructions, which are then executed with a string as input to produce a matching subset or modified version of the original. The term “regular expressions” is frequently shortened to as “regex” or “regexp” in conversation. Expressions can include literal text matching, repetition, pattern-composition, branching, and other sophisticated rules. A large number of parsing problems are easier to solve with a regular expression than by creating a special-purpose lexer and parser. Regular expressions are typically used in applications that involve a lot of text processing. For example, they are commonly used as search patterns in text editing programs used by developers, including vi, emacs, and modern IDEs. They are also an integral part of Unix command line utilities such as sed, grep, and awk. Many programming languages include support for regular expressions in the language syntax (Perl, Ruby, Awk, and Tcl)."

What Is Conditional Formatting? Conditional Formatting (CF) is a tool that allows you to apply formats to a cell or range of cells, and have that formatting change depending on the value of the cell or the value of a formula. For example, you can have a cell appear bold only when the value of the cell is greater than 100. When the value of the cell meets the format condition, the format you select is applied to the cell. If the value of the cell does not meet the format condition, the cell's default formatting is used. ( By \"\"default formatting\"\", I mean the formatting that you set up using the normal formatting tools, not necessarily the worksheet's default font and font size. ) A cell can have up to 3 format conditions, each with its own formats, in addition to the default value of \"\"no formatting\"\"."

"text": "Not to be confused with phrasal verb. In linguistics, a verb phrase (VP) is a syntactic unit composed of at least one verb and its dependents— objects, complements and other modifiers—but not always including the subject. Thus in the sentence A fat man put the money quickly in the box, the words put the money quickly in the box are a verb phrase; it consists of the verb put and its dependents, but not the subject a fat man. A verb phrase is similar to what is considered a predicate in more traditional grammars. Verb phrases generally are divided among two types: finite, of which the head of the phrase is a finite verb; and nonfinite, where the head is a nonfinite verb, such as an infinitive, participle or gerund. Phrase structure grammars acknowledge both types, but dependency grammars treat the subject as just another verbal dependent, and they do not recognize the finite verbal phrase constituent. Understanding verb phrase analysis depends upon knowing which theory obtains in context. Contents [ hide ]1 Verb phrases in phrase structure grammars2 Verb phrases in dependency grammars3 Verb phrases narrowly defined4 See also5 Notes6 References Verb phrases in phrase structure grammars [ edit]In phrase structure grammars such as generative grammar, the verb phrase is one headed by a verb.

The Song of the Sannyasin, in modern times, is emphasized by the Ramakrishna monks and the Swaminarayan monastic orders. However, it also offers insightful keys to insight and inspiration for all seekers. In this age the ascetic’s life is not for all seekers of wisdom and enlightenment. What about those of us who follow a fourth way, a way in life of pursuing higher consciousness and enlightenment in ordinary life? Can we not also benefit from and gain practical wisdom from this teaching? I believe so.

Parthenogenesis: When Animals Reproduce Without a Mate March 25, 2010by Haley A. Lovett In the wild, some female animals are able to create offspring without the help of a mate, a process known as parthenogenesis. How Does Parthenogenesis Work? Parthenogenesis happens when an unfertilized egg produces an offspring. According to MSN Encarta, the term “parthenogenesis” comes from Greek terms meaning “virgin creation.” Depending on the species, parthenogenesis happens for different reasons. Some species that normally reproduce sexually will sometimes reproduce asexually, either for lack of males, for population sex control, or in some cases because of an abundance of resources. How the cell division happens during reproduction in each species determines if the resulting offspring from parthenogenesis will be an exact clone of the mother or not. Parthenogenesis occurs in lower animals such as insects, and in only about .1 percent of vertebrate species, according to Scientific American."

Sound does go in and out and I have to click other telephone button on when it’s “out” to get it to come back “on”. Not very pleased with sound quality but compared to others it’s not the worst. Helpful Be the first one to find this review helpful William of Snowflake, AZ Verified Reviewer Original review: Feb. 16, 2018Just received new Audeo B-13 aids today from VA Phoenix. Problem began with unprotected exposure to aircraft engine noise and many flight hours. Now at 74, I decided to do something about my inability to hold a conversation without \"\"huh?\"\" every few sentences. Exam four weeks ago and installation today. So far, I love my new hearing. I've read the preceding reviews, so right now it's a wait and see game."

"text": "What is Bachata Bachata lessons Toronto | Bachata Classes Toronto | Professional Bachata Instructors In our Bachata Lessons You will learn both traditinal and romantic Bachata. Bachata is a style of dance that originated in the Dominican Republic. It is danced widely all over the world but not identically. The basics to the dance are three-step with a Cuban hip motion, followed by a tap including a hip movement on the 4th beat. The knees should be slightly bent so the performer can sway the hips easier. The movement of the hips is very important because it’s a part of the soul of the dance. Generally, most of the dancer’s movement is in the lower body up to the hips, and the upper body moves much less. In partnering, the lead can decide whether to perform in open or closed position. Dance moves, or step variety, during performance strongly depends on the music (such as the rhythms played by the different instruments), setting, mood, and interpretation. Unlike Salsa, Bachata dance does not usually include complex turn patterns but they are used more and more as the dance evolves."

"text": "How to Grow Vegetables How to Grow Carrots Posted September 10, 2014 by Mark Macdonald10 Sep Whatever type of carrot seeds you plant it’s easy to learn how to grow carrots from seed. Here are some common characteristics. Carrots are biennials, so they use their leaves in the first year, to gather energy from the sun to build a big, starchy root. This is where they store their energy over the winter. The following spring they use that stored energy to send up a tall umbel of white flowers, looking strikingly similar to Queen Anne’s Lace to which they are closely related. When the weather gets cold in the first year of growth, carrots convert a lot of their starches to sugars, so the roots become sweeter in winter. Carrot Shapes All carrots can be harvested immature as baby roots, which tend to be crunchy but tender, and quite sweet. They can also be left to reach their full size, shape, and colour, of course. All carrots are high in beta-carotene, a pigment that we metabolize as vitamin A when we eat it. A lack of vitamin A can result in poor vision, hence the notion that carrots are good for your eyesight."

They have the body conformation of a Persian but with short plush fur, giving them the appearance of living teddy bears. Originally created in the early 1960's, they were formally recognized by the CFA (Cat Fanciers Association) in 1967. Shorthair exotic kittens tend to have a gentle and affectionate personality and are quite intelligent. \"\" Chiana\"\"Click here to see larger picture The Exotic is sometimes referred to as the \"\"lazy man's Persian,\"\" Shorthair Persian or Exotic Persian, as it has the same body and head type as a Persian, but due to its shorter fur it does not require the frequent brushing that a Persian does. Occasionally Exotic Shorthair will produce longhaired kittens as well. These Exotic Longhair (ELH) are physically identical to a Persian, but have the sweeter, more playful personality of the Exotic. At Bravlion, having exotic shorthair kittens around the house is one of the greatest joys, and each one has such a unique and wonderful personality."

In Japan, the Micra replaced the Japanese-market Nissan Cherry and was exclusive to Nissan Japanese dealership network Nissan Cherry Store until 1999, when the \"\"Cherry\"\" network was combined into Nissan Red Stage until 2003.

It was intended to replace the Nissan Cherry as the company's competitor in the supermini sector, as the Cherry model sold in Europe had progressively become larger with each successive generation. In Japan, it was exclusive to Nissan Cherry store locations, as the Japanese market Cherry was renamed March, benefiting from engineering contributions from Nissan's 1966 acquisition of the Prince Motor Company, who originally developed the outgoing Cherry. The Micra had particularly low fuel consumption made possible by a specially developed engine only used in the Micra, an uncommonly high gearing, and a particularly low weight: only 630 kg (1,390 lb) in early European trim.

While retaining the same old sturdy build and no fuss design the Bolero offered a modern touch to utility vehicles when it was first introduced almost a decade back. The Bolero has been a steady seller, garnering roughly 5,000 units every month. The last update in 2012 made the Bolero look a little bit sportier as compared to the squared looks it has before. In 2016, Mahindra has tweaked the old 2.5-litre mill and offers it on select variants called the Power Plus. ... read full review Mahindra Bolero Colours Bolero is available/sold in the following colours in India."

Also, Apocalyptica is pretty great, but they're kind of the opposite: instead of turning classical into rock, they turn rock into classical, at least earlier Apocalyptica (they have a whole album devoted to cello renditions of Metallica songs). You might enjoy symphonic metal. It's the perfect fusion of rock and classical. : D Try Nightwish?4.3k Views Your response is private. Is this answer still relevant and up to date?"

Because of its performance and entertainment aspects, ballroom dance is also widely enjoyed on stage, film, and television. Ballroom dance may refer, at its widest definition, to almost any type of partner dancing as recreation. However, with the emergence of dancesport in modern times, the term has become narrower in scope and traditionally refers to the five International Standard and five International Latin style dances (see dance categories below). The two styles, while differing in technique, rhythm and costumes, exemplify core elements of ballroom dancing such as control and cohesiveness. Developed in England, [1] the two styles are now regulated by the World Dance Council (WDC) and the World Dance Sport Federation (WDSF). In the United States, two additional variations are popular: American Smooth and American Rhythm, which combine elements of the Standard and Latin styles with influences from other dance traditions. There are also a number of historical dances, and local or national dances, which may be danced in ballrooms or salons. Sequence dancing, in pairs or other formations, is still a popular style of ballroom dance.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the Sugarcult song, see Memory (Sugarcult song).\"\" Memory \"\" is a show tune from the 1981 musical Cats. [ 1] It is sung by the character Grizabella, a one-time glamour cat who is now only a shell of her former self. The song is a nostalgic remembrance of her glorious past and a declaration of her wish to start a new life. Sung briefly in the first act and in full near the end of the show, \"\"Memory\"\" is the climax of the musical, and by far its most popular and best-known song. Elaine Paige originated the role of Grizabella in the West End production of Cats, the first to perform the song publicly on stage and bringing attention to its writers Andrew Lloyd Webber and Trevor Nunn, who received the 1981 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. [ 2]Contents [ hide ]1 Conception and composition2 Cover versions3 Barbra Streisand version3.1 Weekly charts4 References5 External links Conception and composition [ edit]The lyric, written by Cats director Trevor Nunn, was loosely based on [ citation needed] T. S. Eliot 's poems \"\" Preludes \"\" [3] and \"\"Rhapsody on a Windy Night\"\". [ 4] \"\" Andrew Lloyd Webber 's former writing partner Tim Rice and contemporary collaborator Don Black submitted a lyric to the show's producers for consideration, although Nunn's version was favoured. Elaine Paige has said that she sang a different lyric to the tune of \"\"Memory\"\" for the first ten previews of Cats. Composer Lloyd Webber feared that the tune sounded too similar to Ravel's Bolero and to a work by Puccini, and also that the opening – the haunting main theme – closely resembled the flute solo (improvised by Bud Shank in the studio) from The Mamas & the Papas ' 1965 song \"\" California Dreamin' \"\"."

For other uses, see 1971 Bon Vivant botulism case. \"\" Pain and Champaign\"\" (A gouty man at table with a bon viveur drinking champagne)The phrase bon viveur is a pseudo-French phrase adopted in English in the mid 19th century, modelled on the French bon vivant \"\"one who lives well\"\", i.e. referring to a person who enjoys the good things of life. The phrase is not derogatory but conveys a sense of overindulgence. [ 1] In his book, Mind the Gaffe, professor Larry Trask advised that the phrase is pretentious. [ 2]The type was exemplified by Johnnie Cradock who, with his wife Fanny, wrote a restaurant review column in the Daily Telegraph using Bon viveur as a nom de plume. Other examples include Clement Freud, John Mortimer and Michael Winner. [ 3]Food and drink writer Benjamin Nunn uses the nom de plume Ben Viveur as a play on words.

Eggplants are related to the tomato and potato, which are in the same family -- the nightshade family. There are actually male and female Eggplants. Male ones have fewer seeds and shallow, round indents on their bottoms; on female bottoms, the indent is deeper and more like a line. Eggplants need to be harvested as soon as they are ripe; if left past that on the plant they get spongy and bitter. The most familiar Eggplants to us, the large dark purple ones, are called \"\"Black Bell\"\" or \"\"Purple Globe.\"\" They're also called Globe Eggplant, Western Eggplant and American Eggplant. It's not known who exactly it was that thought this Eggplant was shaped anything like a globe. Italian Eggplant is, like Globe Eggplants, purple, but small and round. They are also called Small Globe Eggplant."

Every hotel of the not-huge variety seems to call itself a boutique hotel. But what does this term actually mean? Leaving the hype and buzz aside, what is a boutique hotel? Unlike the open-to-interpretation meaning of luxury hotel, the definition of boutique hotel is quite clear. Here are some elements that distinguish a boutique hotel.01of 13A Boutique Hotel Is Intimate in Size and Feeling•••The #1 Defining Aspect of a Boutique Hotel: It's Petite!First and foremost, a boutique hotel is small. Most hospitality pros agree that for a property to be considered a boutique hotel, it should not be much bigger than 100 rooms. ( But not too small: if it doesn't have at least 10 rooms, it's not a boutique hotel but a B&B or inn. ) A Boutique Hotel Is Small... But Has a Big Personality A boutique hotel's intimate size produces its characteristic personal feeling and heady ambiance.

"text": "December 11,1941: Hitler and Arguably the Most Insane and Pivotal Decision in History Posted on December 11, 2011By Stephen Frater Four days after Pearl Harbor, in arguably the most insane and pivotal decision in history, Adolf Hitler needlessly declared war on the United States. Berlin, December 11, 1941: Hitler Declares War on the United States. Photo: Das Bundesarchiv. December 7, 1941, a distracted Hitler was at “Wolf’s Lair” his gloomy, dank Eastern Front field headquarters in Prussia, absorbing the reality that his Russian campaign, launched with stunning success and fanfare less than six months earlier, had permanently stalled within sight of Moscow, a mere five miles from the Kremlin’s Onion Domes—on December 2. German soldiers lacked winter clothing and equipment since Hitler had promised a quick summer and early autumn victory over the Red Army. The temperature on the Eastern Front plummeted to thirty degrees below zero. Hitler’s tanks and trucks were immobilized by snow and motor oil as thick as caramel. Hundreds of thousands of “lucky” Axis soldiers were debilitated by frostbite requiring drastic amputations, while others simply froze to death. For Hitler, the unthinkable had happened; the hitherto-unstoppable Wehrmacht had for the first time, been turned back from a strategic objective while suffering three-quarters of a million casualties at the hands of “General Winter,” the local nickname for Russia’s ultimate protector since the time of Napoleon. Hitler had received no advance notice from the Japanese about the attack on Pearl Harbor."

"text": "\"Glossary of French expressions in English From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Je ne sais quoi)navigation search Around 45% [1] of English vocabulary is of French origin, most coming from the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became Modern English. Thoroughly English words of French origin, such as art, competition, force, machine, money, police, publicity, role, routine and table, are pronounced according to English rules of phonology, rather than French, and are commonly used by English speakers without any consciousness of their French origin. This article, on the other hand, covers French words and phrases that have entered the English lexicon without ever losing their character as Gallicisms: they remain unmistakably \"\"French\"\" to an English speaker. They are most common in written English, where they retain French diacritics and are usually printed in italics. In spoken English, at least some attempt is generally made to pronounce them as they would sound in French; an entirely English pronunciation is regarded as a solecism. Some of them were never \"\"good French\"\", in the sense of being grammatical, idiomatic French usage. Some others were once normal French but have become very old-fashioned, or have acquired different meanings and connotations in the original language, to the extent that they would not be understood (either at all, or in the intended sense) by a native French speaker.

Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mr. Schnabel’s younger colleague in the New York art scene of the 1980s, is trapped by addiction and by his outsider status. Reinaldo Arenas, the gay Cuban poet whose memoir was the basis of “Before Night Falls,” is censored, harassed and locked up by successive dictatorships. Jean-Dominique Bauby, a French fashion magazine editor and the author of the international best seller on which “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” is based, suffered an even more extreme form of confinement. In his early 40s, he suffered a stroke that left him in a rare affliction called “locked-in syndrome.” He retained vision and hearing, and his mind continued to function perfectly, but his body was almost completely paralyzed. He could not move or speak. In the film a friend, visiting him in the hospital in Berck, a wind-swept seaside town in northern France, reports the latest gossip from the cafes of Paris: “Have you heard?"

Egyptians favored a salad dressed with oil, vinegar and Asian spices. Mayonnaise is said to have made its debut at a French Nobleman’s table over 200 years ago. Salads were favorites in the great courts of European Monarchs. Royal chefs often combined as many as 35 ingredients in one enormous salad bowl, and included exotic green ingredients such flower petals. England’s King Henry IV's favorite salad was a tossed mixture of new potatoes (boiled and diced), sardines and herb dressing. Mary, Queen of Scots, preferred boiled celery root diced and tossed with lettuce, creamy mustard dressing, truffles, chervil and hard-cooked egg slices. In the twentieth century, Americans began using basic dressing ingredients (oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and spices) to create an infinite variety of dressings to complement salads. Prepared dressings were largely unavailable until the turn of the century."

The Apalachicola oyster is known worldwide for its smooth -- never slimy -- flesh. Also served up are various shrimp dishes, fresh fish and crabs. Concerts, parades and an official blessing of the commercial fleet and private fishing boats by ministers from local churches add to the festivities."

"text": "\"Putting In a Good Word (bon-Latin root for \"\"good\"\"; bene-Latin root for \"\"well\"\")Just as Latin vocabulary is the heart of the vocabularies of the Romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian), Latin grammar is the basis for their grammatical structures. Throughout the centuries, English vocabulary and grammar have been strongly influenced by Latin and by the Romance languages, especially French. In Latin grammar, converting an adjective, which usually told \"\"what kind,\"\" into an adverb, which told \"\"in what way\"\" involved changing the suffix. In the previous post, \"\"malus\"\" followed that pattern; therefore, it came into English as one root, \"\"mal,\"\" which means \"\"bad\"\" or \"\"badly.\"\" The adjective \"\"good,\"\" however, is irregular in Latin and in English; i.e., in forming the adverb it doesn't follow the pattern but instead becomes a wholly different word. The Latin \"\"bonus\"\" becomes \"\"bene,\"\" and the English \"\"good\"\" becomes \"\"well.\"\" ( The adjective \"\"well,\"\" which means \"\"healthy,\"\" is an entirely different word from the adverb \"\"well,\"\" which means \"\"in a good way,\"\" and has no relevance here.) This post will focus on two word parts: \"\"bon,\"\" from the Latin adjective \"\"bonus,\"\" meaning \"\"good,\"\" and \"\"bene,\"\" from the Latin adverb \"\"bene,\"\" meaning \"\"well.\"\" A word which contains \"\"bene\"\" or \"\"bon\"\" has a positive connotation. The following English words are made from the root \"\"bene,\"\" meaning \"\"well\"\": BENEDICTINE (ben uh DIK tin) - noun - a member of the religious Order of St. Benedict Her uncle is a BENEDICTINE priest."

"text": "37210010 Most Notorious Womanizers in Historyby Julian May 27, 20102Don Juan may be the original lady-killer, whose breeches no woman could resist, but he was a fictional lothario whose exploits were bound to the stage, or the libretto, or the page; or, perhaps, if we can find ourselves once again in this post-feminist, enlightened age, to the reveries of women desirous of a little… action. And though he has lent his name to any man who too keenly makes the fairer sex his prey, his adventures have been long outdone by the living. Genghis Khan (1162-1227)In fact, centuries before Don Juan first set hearts aflutter in Tirso de Molina’s 1630’s play El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra, Mongolian warlord and disreputable dictator, Genghis Khan, was lending an unsettling gravitas to the term ‘lady-killer’. Though he is remembered today for conquering a people and founding an empire, his sexual conquests were no less devastating. The tyrant’s fondness for a fertile female has led Russian scientists to predict he has 16 million male descendants living today: the most loathsome of lotharios. Exploits: all of Mongolia Giacomo Casanova (1725 – 1798)Venetian adventurer and author, Giacomo Casanova, has long sparred with Don Juan (in Italian, Don Giovanni) for the name most synonymous with the art of seduction. Perhaps he was inspired by the exploits of his fictional progenitor, for he was apparently present at the first performance of Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni in 1787. Regardless, Casanova proved many times over to be an adept, unscrupulous lover, who believed he was born for the opposite sex. His first sexual liaison was with two sisters, Nanetta and Maria Savorgnan, a precocious introduction to carnal pleasures and a taste of things to come. Exploits: 120 with women and girls mentioned in his memoirs, as well as many veiled references to male lovers."

"text": "Dry Martini Martinis Cocktails Alcohol What is the difference between a dry martini and a dirty martini? How are they alike?2 Answers Takao Ishigaki, Almost two decades hanging out at cocktail bars Answered Jul 18, 2016 · Author has 113 answers and 160.7k answer views Let’s start with what a dry martini is. As per the International Bartending Association’s recipe, a standard dry martini is as made thusly:6 cl Gin1 cl Dry Vermout h Pour all ingredients into mixing glass with ice cubes. Stir well. Strain in chilled martini glass. Squeeze oil from lemon peel onto the drink, or garnish with olive. The less vermouth in the recipe, the dryer the martini. ( Same thing applies with a vodka martini, where the gin is replaced by vodka)While an olive is the standard garnish for a regular martini, a dirty martini adds a splash of olive broth (the liquid from the olive bottle) to the cocktail. An extra-dirty martini adds even more olive broth, resulting in a quite savory flavor. So a dirty martini is one of hundreds of flavor variations on the regular martini (another called the gibson swaps the olives for a cocktail onion instead), so go find a good bartender and discuss your preferences (sweet, savory, rich, floral, gin, vodka etc) and find out what the best one is for you.1.6k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below What's the difference between a dirty and a dry martini?"

Farid and his sister Amal, along with their brother Fou’ad, belonged to the religious minority clan of their parents, Princess Alia and Prince Fahd al-Atrash. The Atrash children were raised under the watchful eyes of their parents, who moved frequently between the major cities of the Levant in their political struggle against the French. Princess Alia had lost two of her five children to disease at a young age and became highly concerned about the safety of the surviving ones. Her fears were compounded when Farid almost died in a drowning accident in Beirut while playing with another child on a small boat, provoking his mother to lock him indoors when he was not in school. Due to the potential of French reprisal against his family, the Durze leader was compelled to send his family seeking refuge in Egypt. Leaving her husband and wealth behind, the princess disguised herself and her children by taking a fake family name. kusa, Arabic for zucchini, was the odd choice of names that brought Farid ridicule in the new school in Egypt, a French school, ironically, which waived the tuition of the “poor child. ”In the midst of this economically difficult life, Farid’s musical interest grew as he listened to his mother sing and play the oud [lute] at home. At his insistence, he was permitted to train with the school’s Christian choir."

"text": "\"Bona Fide Law and Legal Definition Bona fide is a Latin term meaning \"\"good faith\"\". In legal terms, it is often used to refer to a purchaser or holder who takes something without fraud, deceit, or knowledge of a lien or superior claim by another. Bona fide refers to a quality of genuineness. For example, a \"\" bona fide holder \"\" of a bill of exchange, is one who has taken a bill which appears ordinary on its face, before it was overdue, and in good faith and for value, and without notice of any defect in the title of the person who negotiated it to him. In another example, a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) is an exception to Title VII discrimination laws, which allows an organization to hire and employ individuals on the basis of the qualifications such as sex or national origin when reasonably necessary to the normal operation of that particular business or enterprise (business necessity). To defend a claim of age discrimination against an employee, an employer may establish that they were in compliance with a bona fide seniority system by proving that the system has legitimate goals and that the defendant uses the employees' length of service as the primary consideration in selecting employees for employment benefits, promotions, etc. The following is an example of a state statute dealing with bona fide merchants:\"\"No license for a going out of business sale or a distress merchandise sale shall be issued except to a bona fide licensed merchant of the State of Alabama, and no such license shall be granted to an applicant who sets up an establishment or who acquires an interest in an establishment solely or principally for the purpose of conducting a going out of business sale or distress merchandise sale. \"\" Legal Definition list Bombs Bolstering Bolsheviks Boilerplate Boiler Room Bona Fide Bona Fide Association Bona Fide Auction Sale Bona Fide Educational Service Bona fide Foreign Resident Bona Fide Hedging Transactions and Positions Related Legal Terms Ad Colligendum Bona Ad Colligendum Bona Defuneti Bona Fide Association Bona Fide Auction Sale Bona Fide Educational Service Bona fide Foreign Resident Bona Fide Hedging Transactions and Positions Bona Fide Occupational Qualification Bona Fide Purchaser Bona Fide Purchaser for Value \""

The Comptroller General has held that the question of whether to charge the appropriation current on the date the contract is made, or to charge funds current at the time the services are rendered, depends upon whether the services are “severable” or “entire”:“The fact that the contract covers a part of two fiscal years does not necessarily mean that payments thereunder are for splitting between the two fiscal years involved upon the basis of services actually performed during each fiscal year. In fact, the general rule is that the fiscal year appropriation current at the time the contract is made is chargeable with payments under the contract, although performance thereunder may extend into the ensuing fiscal year. ”23 Comp. Gen. 370, 371 (1943). A contract that is viewed as “entire” is chargeable to the fiscal year in which it was made, notwithstanding that performance may have extended into the following fiscal year."

Many articles have been written, many webinars have been had, and many clarifications have been given, yet folks are still not sure about what to do about bona fide discount points. So, it is, I think, not redundant to go over the basics one more time. Discount points are finance charges, and are therefore included in the QM points and fees. However, the QM Rule dos allow the following exclusions:up to two bona discount points paid by the consumer in connection with the loan if the loan's interest rate, without any discount, does not exceed the APOR by more than 1%;Upon to one bona fide discount if the loan's interest, without any discount, does not exceed the APOR by more than 2%. The math above seems easy enough, but the real problem lies in the definition of \"\"bona fide\"\" in the QM Rule. According to Section 1026.32 (b) (3) (i), bona fide discount point means: an amount equal to 1 percent of the loan amount paid by the consumer that reduces the interest rate or time-price differential applicable to the transaction based on a calculation that is consistent with established industry practices for determining the amount of reduction in the interest rate or time-price differential appropriate for the amount of discount points paid by the consumer. [ emphasis added] In simpler terms, a discount is considered \"\"bona fide\"\" if the discount fee paid by the borrower corresponds to a reduction in interest rate, but the ratio (rate reduction vs. discount fee) must conform to \"\"well established industry practices\"\". What is \"\"well established industry practices\"\"?"

"text": "\"Court Order on Presidential Proclamation on Visas Emergency Alert November 13, 2017Court Order on Presidential Proclamation on Visas OOn November 13, the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit granted, in part, the government’s motion for an emergency stay of the U. S. District Court for the District of Hawaii’s October 17, preliminary injunction. The preliminary injunction prohibited the U. S. government from enforcing or implementing Sections 2 (a), (b), (c), (e), (g), and (h) of Presidential Proclamation 9645, “Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry into the United States by Terrorists or other Public-Safety Threats.” Under the Ninth Circuit’s ruling, the earlier preliminary injunction is stayed, except as to “foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States. ”In light of the Ninth Circuit’s ruling, visa applicants who are nationals of Chad, Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, and Yemen and do not have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States are now subject to the applicable visa restrictions under the Presidential Proclamation. Consequently, any applicants who lack such a claim, if found otherwise eligible for a visa, will be denied under the Proclamation, unless they are exempt or qualify for a waiver under the Proclamation. The court orders did not affect Sections (d) and (f) of the Proclamation, so nationals from North Korea and Venezuela remain subject to the restrictions and limitations listed in the Presidential Proclamation, which went into effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, with respect to nationals of those countries. Additional Background: The President issued Presidential Proclamation 9645 on September 24, 2017. Per Section 2 of Executive Order 13780 of March 6, 2017 (Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States), a global review was conducted to determine what additional information is needed from each foreign country to assess whether foreign nationals who seek to enter the United States pose a security or safety threat. As part of that review, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) developed a comprehensive set of criteria to evaluate the information-sharing practices, policies, and capabilities of foreign governments on a worldwide basis. At the end of that review, which included a 50-day period of engagement with foreign governments aimed at improving their information sharing practices, there were seven countries whose information sharing practices were determined to be “inadequate” and for which the President deemed it necessary to impose certain restrictions on the entry of nonimmigrants and immigrants who are nationals of these countries."

"text": "You meet the bona fide residence test if you are a bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire tax year. You can use the bona fide residence test to qualify for the foreign earned income and foreign housing exclusions and the foreign housing deduction only if you are either: A U. S. citizen, or A U. S. resident alien who is a citizen or national of a country with which the United States has an income tax treaty in effect. You do not automatically acquire bona fide resident status merely by living in a foreign country or countries for 1 year. Example: If you go to a foreign country to work on a particular construction job for a specified period of time, you ordinarily will not be regarded as a bona fide resident of that country even though you work there for 1 tax year or longer. The length of your stay and the nature of your job are only two of the factors to be considered in determining whether you meet the bona fide residence test. Bona Fide Residence The bona fide residence test applies to U. S. citizens and to any U. S. resident alien who is a citizen or national of a country with which the United States has an income tax treaty in effect. To see if you meet the test of bona fide residence in a foreign country, you must find out if you have established such a residence in a foreign country. Your bona fide residence is not necessarily the same as your domicile. Your domicile is your permanent home, the place to which you always return or intend to return. Example: You could have your domicile in Cleveland, Ohio, and a bona fide residence in London if you intend to return eventually to Cleveland."

RELATES TO: KRS 337.285STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 337.295NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: This administrative regulation constitutes the official interpretations of the Office of Workplace Standards, Department of Labor, with respect to the meaning and application of the overtime pay requirements contained in KRS 337.285. It is the function of this administrative regulation to make available in one place the interpretations of these provisions which will guide the Office of Workplace Standards in the performance of its duties under the law unless and until it is otherwise directed by authoritative decisions of the courts or conclude, upon reexamination of an interpretation, that it is incorrect. Section 1. Application of Overtime Provisions Generally. Since there is no absolute limitation in KRS 337.285 on the number of hours that an employee may work in any workweek, he may work as many hours a week as he and his employer see fit, so long as the required overtime compensation is paid him for hours worked in excess of forty (40) hours as prescribed in KRS 337.285. This statute does not require, however, that an employee be paid overtime compensation for hours in excess of eight (8) per day, or for work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays or regular days of rest. If no more than forty (40) hours are actually worked in the workweek, overtime compensation pursuant to KRS 337.285 need not be paid. Nothing in the statute, however, will relieve an employer of any obligation he may have assumed by contract or of any obligation imposed by other state or federal laws to limit overtime hours of work or to pay premium rates for work in excess of a daily standard or for work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or other periods outside of or in excess of the normal or regular workweek or work day."

"text": "Bona Fide Resident Law and Legal Definition A bona fide resident refers to a person who has stayed in a particular state or country for a duration that is required by the applicable statutes or state laws. This is required for the purpose of a variety of rights, like the right to vote, right to run for public office, determining taxes etc. A bona fide residency requirement asks a person to establish that he or she actually lives in a certain location. This can be established by the address listed on the driver’s license, voter registration card, income tax return and the like. Some states in U. S recognize a person who has conducted sufficient amount of business in a state as actual resident. Bona fide residence is not the same as domicile. The U. S. Treasury Department specifically allows a Foreign Earned Income Exclusion for bona fide residents of a foreign country. To be eligible for this exclusion an individual must meet the Internal Revenue Service's bona fide residence test. Under the bona fide residence test a person must either be a U. S. citizen or a U. S. resident alien who is a citizen or national of a country with which the United States has an income tax treaty in effect. That person must also be bona fide resident of a foreign country or countries for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire tax year."

C. G. A. Section 48-5-7.4. The Georgia Revenue Commissioner has the responsibility of annually determining the values for ad valorem tax purposes of this type land and publishing rules and regulations to help county tax assessors determine the values of property that qualify for conservation use assessment. Conservation use property is assessed at 40% of current use value which gives a reduced assessment to the owner of this type property when compared to other property assessed at 40% of fair market value. This favorable tax treatment is designed to protect these property owners from being pressured by the property tax burden to convert their land from agricultural use to residential or commercial use, hence the name \"\"conservation use\"\" assessment. In return for the favorable tax treatment, the property owner must keep the land undeveloped in a qualifying use for a period of ten years or incur stiff penalties. Owners who breach their conservation use covenant must pay back to the taxing authorities twice the savings they have received over the life of the covenant up to the point it was breached. Applications for current use assessment must be filed with the county board of tax assessors on or before the last day for filing ad valorem tax returns in the county. Valuation of Conservation Use Property Specially trained staff appraisers of the Georgia Property Tax Division determine values of conservation use property after consultation with the Department of Agriculture, the Georgia Agricultural Statistical Service, the Georgia Forestry Commission, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Cooperative Extension Service. Values are determined according to a statutory scheme that takes mostly into account the ability of the soil to grow certain agricultural commodities, but also weighs in the typical selling price when sales of land are made from \"\"farmer to farmer\"\" and not from \"\"farmer to developer\"\". The resulting table of current use land values differs according to the soil productivity with \"\"1\"\" being assigned to the most productive land and \"\"9\"\" being assigned to the least productive land."

"text": "Bona Fide Occupational Qualification The concept of Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications (“BFOQ”) allows employers to hire individuals based on their age, sex, race, national origin, or religion, if these specific qualifications are considered essential to the job, or considered vital to the business’ operation. Hiring employees with BFOQs may be considered a valid defense to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which has protected individuals from discrimination based such attributes for half a century. To explore this concept, consider the following Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications definition. Definition of Bona Fide Occupational Qualification Noun A valid defense to otherwise recognized discrimination such as mandatory retirement at a certain age for airline pilots, for safety reasons, or a religious school requiring its principal or deans to be members of its religious sect. History of Permissible Discrimination Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made it unlawful for any employer or employment agency to refuse or fail to hire, or to discharge, withhold privileges of employment, or reduce compensation to someone based on that individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The interpretation of this law was later expanded to include discrimination based on an individual’s age. In a later section, however, the Act recognizes the necessity of hiring personnel with certain qualities for certain job positions, specifically stating it is not unlawful for an employer to hire employees based on such considerations when such an attribute as sex, national origin, or religion is considered a necessary qualification for the specific job. This is known as “permissible discrimination. ”Additionally, the law recognizes that educational institutions that are “owned, supported, controlled, or managed by a particular religion,” or at which the curriculum of the educational institution is “directed toward the propagation of a particular religion,” should be allowed to fill certain key positions based on religious affiliation of the applicant. For example, hiring a member of the Catholic Church to fill a key position such as chaplain, president, dean, or teacher at a Catholic college would be considered a permissible discrimination, or BFOQ."

"text": "NOTE: This guide is current through the publication date. Since changes may have occurred after the publication date that would affect the accuracy of this document, no guarantees are made concerning the technical accuracy after the publication date. Issue Description Corporate executives often receive extraordinary fringe benefits that are not provided to other corporate employees. Any property or service that an executive receives in lieu of or in addition to regular taxable wages is a fringe benefit that may be subject to taxation. In 1984, the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) was amended to include the term “fringe benefits” i n the definition of gross income found in §61. A fringe benefit provided in connection with the performance of services, regardless of its form, must be treated as compensation includible in income under §61. Whether a particular fringe benefit is taxable depends on whether there is a specific statutory exclusion that applies to the benefit. For example, when §61 was amended to include the term “fringe benefits”, §132 was added to provide exclusions for certain commonly provided fringe benefits that had previously not been addressed in the Code. Section 132 provides exclusions for working condition fringes, deminimis fringes, noadditional cost services, qualified employee discounts, qualified moving expenses, qualified transportation fringes, and qualified retirement planning services. Although it is clear that fringe benefits are taxable, employers may not treat them as wages for income and employment tax purposes."

"text": "\"Benefits Final Rule Limits Health Care Enrollment Wait to 90 Days Related proposal addresses employment-based orientation periods By Stephen Miller, CEBSFeb 21, 2014last updated on 6/25/2014Update: On June 25, 2014, the federal agencies published an additional final rule, titled “ Ninety-Day Waiting Period Limitation. ” Specifically, the new final rule provides that being otherwise eligible to enroll in a plan means having met the plan's substantive eligibility conditions (for example, being in an eligible job classification, achieving job-related licensure requirements specified in the plan's terms, or satisfying a reasonable and bona fide employment-based orientation period). Under the final rule, after an individual is determined to be otherwise eligible for coverage under the terms of the plan, any waiting period may not extend beyond 90 days, and all calendar days are counted beginning on the enrollment date, including weekends and holidays. “ The final rule , which leave the proposed waiting period regulation largely unchanged, could effectively allow an employer to get back to a ‘ first of the month following 90 days [approach] by installing a one-month orientation period before the beginning of a ‘ first of the month following 60 days, waiting period, according to an alert from Lockton. Original article: A final rule under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), published in the Federal Register on Feb. 24, 2014, clarifies how to apply the 90-day maximum limit that employers can impose before health coverage becomes effective. A new proposed rule would extend the waiting period by an additional month for a bona fide employment-based orientation period. The 90-day limit under the final rule applies to both fully insured and self-insured group plans, and is effective for plan years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2015. For plan years beginning in 2014, federal agencies will consider compliance with either the proposed rule issued in March 2013 or the final rule to constitute compliance with the ACA's waiting period limit. \"\" This is a common sense measure that helps workers access employer-sponsored health insurance while providing employers flexibility,\"\" said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employee Benefits Security Phyllis C. Borzi in a statement. Under the final rule, after an individual is determined to be otherwise eligible for coverage under the terms of the plan, any waiting period may not extend beyond 90 days, and all calendar days are counted beginning on the enrollment date, including weekends and holidays."

"text": "\"9th Circuit Deals Blow to \"\"Professional\"\" CAN-SPAM Complaint Mills08.10.09By Ronald G. London, Ambika Kumar Doran, Thomas R. Burke and Randy Gainer The U. S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has decided Gordon v. Virtumundo, Inc. in a manner that deals a serious, perhaps fatal, blow to the ability of “professional plaintiff” anti-spam activists to collect unsolicited commercial e-mails, or “spam,” and bring costly, settlement-inducing suits under the federal CAN-SPAM Act. The case addresses who has standing to sue under CAN-SPAM, what type of harm private plaintiffs must show, and how they must connect the harm to a CAN-SPAM violation for a suit to proceed. The court also found the Washington state Commercial Electronic Mail Act (CEMA) to be displaced by the CAN-SPAM Act, which preempts state laws and rules regulating commercial e-mail except insofar as they target misleading and/or false e-mails or fraud and/or computer crime generally. Gordon v. Virtumundo is one of several cases in the 9th Circuit (while others remain in district courts in California and Washington), and the first decided, that explores whether an “Internet access service” provider (IAS) that primarily collects commercial e-mail to bring suit under the CAN-SPAM Act to seek statutory damages (or settlements of threatened or filed suits) has standing to do so under the Act. The practice is a popular tactic among anti-spam activists, who tend to believe all unsolicited commercial e-mail is “spam” that should be outlawed, and has become something of a cash cow for them and for plaintiffs’ counsel who bring the lawsuits. It has been unclear whether such IASs have standing to sue under the CAN-SPAM Act, which along with empowering the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), state attorneys general, and other state and federal agencies to pursue enforcement, also grants a private right of action to IASs “adversely affected” by violations to seek either actual or statutory damages (the latter of which can be as much as $300 per unlawful e-mail), as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. The 9th Circuit has now answered that question with a resounding “no. ”CAN-SPAM seeks to preserve commercial e-mail as a legitimate marketing tool The court commenced its analysis by describing the Internet as “a unique medium that offers legitimate businesses a low-cost means to promote themselves … and in turn fosters competition in the marketplace,” such that “consumers and Congress have come to view email, when fairly employed, as an established and worthwhile device [among] accepted marketing practices.” In the 9th Circuit’s view, CAN-SPAM is thus “an effort to curb the negative consequences of spam … without stifling legitimate commerce,” and consequently “does not ban spam outright, but rather provides a code of conduct to regulate” the practice. Indeed, the court observed that “despite what … anti-spam enthusiasts might contend, the purpose of the CAN-SPAM Act was not to stamp spam out of existence,” but rather “there are beneficial aspects to commercial email, even bulk messaging, that Congress wanted to preserve … as a worthwhile commercial tool."

"text": "\"October 2, 2013What \"\"Made in America\"\" Means To Housewares Manufacturers (Excerpt from Gourmet Business Online Magazine Sept 2013 Issue)“Made in the USA” is a familiar enough label. But what does it really mean when a manufacturer puts one on its gourmet housewares? To consumers, it means that “all or virtually all” of the product was made in America, a standard set by the Federal Trade Commission. For the manufacturer, it implies a host of challenges: higher labor cost involved in making products here and stiff competition from lower-cost imported goods. However, there are benefits to manufacturing here in the USA, such as tighter quality control, shorter lead times to retail and the ability to customize orders. Items produced in the US have increased efficiencies and reduced transportation and production costs. Overseeing production closely helps limit product delays. There seems to be an increasing willingness to pay a slightly higher price for a product that is well-designed, aesthetically pleasing and produced in the United States. As consumers increasingly value “green” products, claims by overseas manufacturers of offering sustainable goods are somewhat problematic. Many of the competitive products that come from overseas and that claim to be green really can’t back that claim up, but consumers don’t question the claim."

"text": "\"To Kill a Mockingbird Chapters 19-31 Comprehension Questions Chapter 19 1.) What made Tom visit the Ewell’s house in the first place? - Tom Robinson was on his way home from working on the farm, and since he has to pass by the Ewell's house everyday, Tom visited the house because Mayella asked her to do a job for her, in which Tom, just wanted to help her, went into the house and did the jobs for her. 2.) Why does Scout think that Mayella Ewell was “the loneliest person in the world”? - Scout thinks she is the loneliest person in the word because she has no friends, she doesn't talk to her siblings, she has no mother, she takes care of the house by herself, she is socially excluded, and that her dad does not care about her. Her dad does not care about her because he did not care if she was okay and did not call a doctor at all. 3.) Describe Mayella’s relationship with her father. - Mayella's father does not care about her, like when her father calls a police rather than calls a doctor after Mayella was bruised."

"text": "By Paul Loebe Politics December 17, 2014Medical Marijuana Is Now Legal In All 50 States Thanks To Congress122144SHARESFacebook Twitter While Congress was busy stripping away consumer protections and legalizing bank fraud, they managed to slip in a little provision which made many marijuana advocates rejoice. States that have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes will no longer have to worry about federal raids on their operations. The Obama Administration has made it part of their policy, although unofficially, to neither indict nor raid dispensaries and growers of medicinal marijuana. While this is encouraging, it is a tenuous hope at best. Just because the Obama Administration has not made it a priority and put focus on other issues within the nation does not mean that a future administration could reverse course and begin a hunt to take on the medical marijuana movement. Just In: Like it Or Not | Last Show – The Finale – Farewell – Deuces Subscribe to our Youtube Channel Since the “War on Drugs” began back in the 1970’s the United States has spent more money fighting this than any other moral social expenditure. We have created a system of imprisoning more people than all other nations on the planet – combined! The vast majority of our prisoners are in jail due to the harsh sentences imposed by the “war on drugs.” In fact, 1 in 8 prisoners is in prison because of marijuana. And the disparity between blacks and whites receiving sentences for marijuana is also sadly depressing."

Rick's hair was shoulder-length and the audience did not recognize him (\"\"No one recognized me - I didn't look the same\"\"). Instead of doing \"\"true\"\" versions of his oldies hits, he did country/rock flavored remakes of them (Garden Party mentions \"\"Hello Mary Lou\"\") along with his new material from that time. This led to him being booed off the stage during his cover version of the Rolling Stones' \"\"Honky Tonk Woman\"\", (\"\"when I sang about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave\"\").

( for the record I really like Poms, they're one of the most \"\"bad-ass\"\" of all small dogs (the other being the dachshund). My former wife and I used to have two pomeranians we called the peedles (don't ask) and they would constantly bounce around outside our wolf enclosures and bark at the wolves. This was something to behold -- a twelve pound dog barking at a 120 pound wolf. I wish I had video... A few notes about the poms pictured versus most pomeranians in Google Image search - the bug-eyes and short snouts are signs of some serious inbreeding. The true pomeranian looks less like a teddy bear with glaucoma and more like a cross between a fox and a keeshond. The animals pictured above are the kind of pomeranians you should try to find if you want one of these animals, but be warned, they will run you ragged. Ours could bounce about four feet straight up over and over again and they frequently would simply bounce against the sliding glass doors in our house until it drove us mad. Of course they were also incredibly cute.46.3k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

Some grammarians believe that interjections are the least important part of speech. This is because interjections are not generally required in order for the meaning of a sentence to become clear. An interjection is a word solely designed to convey emotion. It expresses meaning or feeling. It does not:relate grammatically to the other parts of the sentencehelp the reader understand the relationship between words and phrases in the sentence Instead, it simply conveys to the reader the way the author is feeling. Interjections are rarely used in academic or formal writing, but are common in fiction or artistic writing. They are usually, but not always, offset by an exclamation point (which is also used to show emotion). Use of Interjections Beginning of Sentences When people think of interjections, they commonly think of them being used at the beginning of the sentence."

With over 230 million speakers, there are a lot of people to talk to in Indonesian. Indonesian is closely related to Bahasa Malaysia, but the main difference is the vocabulary: Indonesian has been influenced by Dutch, while Bahasa Malaysia has been influenced by English. Both have been influenced by Sanskrit, Arabic and Javanese. Grammar [ edit]The basic word order of Indonesian is similar to English:subject-verb-object with one basic difference being that the noun or subject comes before the predicate or adjective. For example, Kucing hitam = Black cat; Buku saya = My book. In general, there are no plurals, grammatical gender, or verb conjugation for person, number or tense, all of which are expressed with adverbs or tense indicators: saya makan, \"\"I eat\"\" (now), saya sudah makan, \"\"I already eat\"\" = \"\"I ate\"\". When plurals are in use, they're often simply a repetition of the singular form, connected by a dash (or, in shortened informal Indonesian, indicated with a \"\"2\"\" at the end). For example, \"\"mobil-mobil\"\" (cars) is simply the plural form of \"\"mobil\"\" (car). One can also choose to use other words, especially in informal situations, such as \"\"banyak\"\" (many) instead: \"\"banyak mobil\"\"."

"text": "\"In this 1963 photo, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan perform at the Newport Jazz Festival in Newport, Rhode Island. ( AP Photo, File)Print Email By Associated Press on July 19, 2015 at 10:00 PM, updated July 19, 2015 at 10:01 PM0 shares PROVIDENCE, R. I. -- On the night of July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan strode onto a stage at the Newport Folk Festival, plugged in an electric guitar and gave the music world a shock. Wearing a black leather jacket, the darling of the folk movement and singer of protest songs launched into a searing, distortion-filled, three-song electric set that brought boos from folk purists but thrilled others. Fifty years later, it's considered one of the most important events in rock history, the high-voltage moment when Dylan broke away from folk and helped show fellow musicians the poetic possibilities of rock. The Fender Stratocaster that Dylan played that night sold for nearly $1 million, the highest price ever paid for a guitar at auction. A new book out this month, \"\"Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night that Split the Sixties,\"\" by Elijah Wald, takes a deep look at the event. And the three-day festival, which starts Friday, is marking the anniversary with a closing-night tribute to be performed by a still-secret lineup of artists. Musicians today still take inspiration from Dylan's performance and talk about what it means. \"\" It's the true American spirit to rebel against the establishment,\"\" says Joey Burns of the indie rock band Calexico, which is performing at the festival on Friday."

Our review process. Bringing home a new member of the family is always a fun and exciting time. Many families already have a name picked out for their new dog when it arrives but some prefer to wait to see what characteristics the dog has before picking that perfect name. There are a number of ways to pick the perfect name for a dog, picking favorite literary characters, picking more predictable dog names and naming the dog after certain characteristics. For some dogs and dog owners only the cute names appeal and there are certainly plenty of these to choose from. Cute dog names can originate from a wide variety of places and depending upon the dog’s origin you may find that the originating country has as much to do with selecting a name as the meaning of the name itself!Cute Dog Names by Personality Traits Puck – The name Puck has American origins and can be used to refer to a dog that bounces similar to a hockey puck or a dog that is mischievous like the character Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare. Shep – The name Shep comes from the word shepherd and is generally used for dogs that show sheep herding traits."

Whatever happened to romance? Ask MOMOL, COCOL, HOHOL, and many other Pinoy slangs that have gone insanely viral in the Philippines. Since technology has earned a spot in every one’s heart, people have been relying on the anecdotes, trends, and whims on social media. So, I guess we can all say that nothing defines Philippine pop culture better than the social media. With the help of “Boy’s Night Out†of Magic 89.9 and the youth’s imaginative thinking, intoxication beyond unacceptable levels, and addiction to social media----How would you define a relationship with someone who is not even your boyfriend or girlfriend?---finally has an answer. These are the Pinoy relationship slangs that became a widespread social phenomenon among the youth, and also gave rise to several other things that people talk about or do every day: COCOL – coffee coffee lang; when two people are partaking in a small coffee session; according to DJ Sam YG, who is said to be the MOMOL Guru, it is usually a prelude to a very intense MOMOL session Top 3 sweetest moments with your guy? — Lakad, cocol, inom.

All you need to do to find the centers is fold the strands in half until the ends are even. Then hold your thumb and finger around the centers so you don't forget where they are.3 Overlay the two strand centers. Lay the two centers over each other on the top of your working station, arranging the strands in a plus sign. Securing your lanyard strands at the end with a clip or keychain may make it easier to thread. Slip it onto the bottom strand and gently move it toward the center.

"text": "\"Why we need a space program By Sebastian Anthony on July 21, 2011 at 12:09 pm 55 Comments0shares Facebook Twitter Google Plus Reddit Hacker News Earlier today STS-135, the Space Shuttle Atlantis, touched down for the last time and ended an era that began in 1972 when President Nixon signed off on the development of reusable, orbiting spacecraft. In many regards the Space Shuttle program never quite lived up to expectations, but at the same time it’s hard to put a value on the data, knowledge, and wisdom that has resulted from NASA’s launches of Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. While the retirement of the Space Transport System isn’t in itself a surprise or mistake, the fact that it isn’t being replaced by with another government-funded program could be disastrous for society, science, and human endeavor. On a merely functional level, it is now unlikely that Hubble will ever be brought back to Earth, and more importantly it is now solely the responsibility of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft to supply the International Space Station until its retirement in 2020. On a theoretical and philosophical level, the retirement of STS, the axing of its replacement — Project Constellation — and President Obama’s reticence towards a federal space program means that deep space exploration and the discovery of strange, new worlds has effectively been put on hold. And do you know the reason for the US government’s disinterest in space travel? Budgetary concerns. Returning to the Moon and traveling to Mars — and beyond — was simply beyond NASA’s current budget. Do you know what NASA’s budget is? About $19 billion dollars."

"text": "\"By alex hutchinson Nov 12, 2008 293Photograph by Greg Miller The modern era of recycling began in the meandering wake of the Mobro 4000. The infamous garbage barge spent much of 1987 traveling up and down the eastern seaboard looking for a place to dump its 3000-ton load of New York trash. It was refused at every port. By the time the spurned vessel returned to Long Island, still ferrying its fetid cargo, it had become the poster child for what was trumpeted as a national crisis: dwindling landfill space. Faced with the scale of their own refuse, Americans took action. Nascent recycling programs blossomed into major operations. Municipalities invested in trucks for curbside pickups and in facilities to handle mountains of castoff material. Kindergartners were taught the virtues of separating clear glass from green. Almost overnight, it seemed, recycling was embraced by the public as a kind of all-purpose absolution for our environmental sins. Yet doubts remained."

"text": "\"Next up, worst batting helmet in MLB history!By Paul Lukas Page 2 ( Archive | Contact)Updated: January 26, 2009Comment Email Print Share For years now, the Texas Rangers have had trouble settling on their primary team color. First it was blue, then it was red, then blue again, and then word leaked last fall that they'd be going back to red. This chromatic identity crisis reached its logical conclusion Friday, when the Rangers unveiled a new uniform set featuring a truly magnificent stroke of idiocy: a garish two-tone batting helmet that's blue in the front and red on the sides, back and top. In a thoughtful gesture, the Rangers plan to wear this helmet for all games, home and road, ensuring that fans around the American League will be able to make fun of it. How did this happen? Uni Watch sees three possible explanations:1. The helmet manufacturer offered a closeout special on factory rejects.2. The Rangers have drafted Lokai and Bele.3. There was a marketing meeting that went something like this: Marketing Guy No. 1: So our new uniform set will include a red alternate jersey and red cap."

"text": "These Are The People Going With Trump To Davos Original newz story - Click here Two days after the NYT reported that Trump would attend the 48th World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this month, making him the first sitting US president since the Clinton administration to attend the annual photo-op boondoggle of world leaders, billionaires, and captains of industry, Bloomberg leaked the people Trump will be taking with him to Davos (one year after the main topic at the Swiss village was how to avoid a Trump presidency and avoid populism). According to Bloomberg, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and U. S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer will go with Trump. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao will also accompany him, one of the people said. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Energy Secretary Rick Perry are also attending the World Economic Forum the week of Jan. 22 but as part of a separate U. S. delegation, one of the people said. They will arrive on Monday and leave Wednesday in part to free hotel rooms for Trump’s delegation, which arrives on Thursday. What is notable is that while the main topic this year will surely be trade protectionism (and globalization), the delegation is made of half trade hawks and half doves. It is also worth remembering that Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and Cohn have been trying to convince President Trump not to pursue too aggressive trade policies. This is against the supposed advice of Ross, Lighthizer, and not mentioned for the Davos delegation, Peter Navarro. Also notable is a report by Axios from last week, according to which “Cohn and (Treasury Secretary) Mnuchin are now appealing to Trump’s obsession with the record-breaking run of the stock market under his presidency, according to four sources with direct knowledge.” Cohn and Mnuchin have argued that an attack on trade would hurt stocks and the middle class, undoing the tax cut."

There’s legitimate dispute about the political and environmental wisdom of plant-based fuels, but at the very least everyone should be starting from a valid, shared set of numbers (oh, to dream). In an attempt to offer up such numbers, I’m going to … rip off somebody smarter than me.

I just recently signed up and am amazed by the amount of great BBQ info I have found on this board. I wish I had found it years ago, but I know that I will be glued to this site for quite a while. I have been an avid griller for years and only occasionally break out my smoker for real BBQ-ing. I have recently vowed to put in a lot more time cooking some real bar-b-que to expand my skills. This weekend I cooked a 6 pound bone in pork shoulder on my Char-Broil offset smoker. I tried to keep the temp between 225-250 but it occasionally dropped down to 200. ( Which is probably why it took almost 9 hours to cook.) I wanted to ask what internal temperature should I aim for when cooking a pork shoulder?"

"text": "\"How Much Will the Common Core Cost? Amounts will vary depending on the approach adopted By Catherine Gewertz May 30, 2012 | Includes updates and/or revisions. Printer-Friendly Email Article Reprints Comments States face key spending decisions as they implement the Common Core State Standards, and a new study finds that they could save about $927 million—or spend as much as $8.3 billion—depending on the approaches they choose in three vital areas: curriculum materials, tests, and professional development. The report by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, issued last week, examines the net costs of three hypothetical transition routes to the new standards in mathematics and English/language arts. The “business as usual” approach, which features buying hard-copy textbooks, giving annual paper-based assessments, and delivering in-person professional development to teachers, is the most expensive. Over the next one to three years, it would cost states $8.3 billion, according to the Washington-based think tank. That rounded figure represents the difference between the $3.9 billion it estimates states currently spend on tests, curricular materials, and professional development and the $12.1 billion it estimates as their gross spending if they took the business-as-usual approach to those three elements in implementing the common standards. National Price Tag A study estimated the transitional costs of implementing the common core in three areas: curriculum materials, assessments, and professional development. It estimated current state and national spending in those areas and projected the net cost or savings for the three approaches. SOURCE: Thomas B. Fordham Institute The “bare bones” approach could save states money by using open-source materials, annual computer-based tests, and online professional development, according to Fordham."

We Already Have One and It’s Called The Blue Line By Steven Vance Jul 1, 2015 115The Blue Line was analyzed by Five Thirty Eight to be faster than taking a taxi from O’Hare airport to downtown. Photo: Edward Kwiatkowski Mayor Rahm Emanuel and recently appointed aviation commissioner Ginger Evans have been calling for new, faster, premium train service from O’Hare to downtown in a bid to improve the airport’s standing among its domestic and international peers. They argue that the airport is causing the city to lose business. However, while O’Hare is a low-performing facility, the existing Blue Line service isn’t the airport’s limiting factor. The idea of high-speed rail service to O’Hare is nothing new. Under former mayor Richard M. Daley, the CTA spent over $250 million to build a “super station” under Block 37 in the Loop for that purpose. Ultimately, the proposal went nowhere, and the empty station space currently sits unused, a monument to poor urban planning. High-speed train service to airports – with fares that typically run several times the non-express rate – is becoming a emoree common amenity among busy, international airports. However, express service that runs directly to the center of town is uncommon."

Using meal replacement shakes and supplements like Boost can help make sure you get a nutrient-dense meal replacement when you're in a time crunch, so you don't feel tempted to hit the drive-thru. Like any food or supplement, though, you need to practice moderation; use Boost as part of a balanced diet for the best results. Consult your doctor before changing your lifestyle or adding a shake or supplement like Boost to your routine. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Calories for Weight Gain Boost shakes serve as a good source of calories, which will help you gain weight. Healthy weight gain involves eating slightly more calories than you need -- about 250 to 500 each day -- which allow you to put on weight at a safe rate of 0.5 to 1 pound each week. Slow weight gain from a balanced diet and exercise plan helps ensure your gain comes partially from healthful lean mass, such as muscle, instead of pure body fat. Original Boost shakes and Boost High Protein shakes each contain 240 calories, so drinking either version will provide almost all the calories you need to gain a half-pound weekly, assuming you drink it in addition to a balanced meal plan that provides enough calories to maintain your weight. If you're going for a more aggressive 1-pound weekly weight gain, two Ensure shakes almost bring you to your calorie goals. The Protein in Boost Boost shakes provide essential protein, which can help you gain lean mass."

"text": "12 Remedies for Fatigue & When You’re Feeling Tired Our existences are anything but simple, and most of us will find ourselves overworked and exhausted from time to time-or all the time. Fatigue, true fatigue, is much more than feeling overworked and just being sleepy, although it can make you want to curl up in bed and forget the rest of the world. It creeps into everyday life and effects your physical and mental well-being making it very difficult, if not impossible, to get things done. My own personal struggles with fatigue at point strained relationships-it is hard for people to understand that horrible exhaustion unless they experience it themselves. To the outside world, you just look lazy when all you want to do is lie in bed. Fatigue is a difficult thing to manage, as it is such a vague symptom or condition. There’s physical fatigue, emotional fatigue, fatigue as a symptom or as a disease in and of itself. There is a good chance there’s an underlying medical condition causing fatigue, for example depression or low blood sugar, and this must be addressed before you can hope to get rid of the exhaustion. But if you haven’t been able to pinpoint the cause of your fatigue (and of course you’ve had it checked out by a doctor) it can often times be traced back to a number of habits and lifestyles that seem to have a tendency to develop in the modern world. If you find it dogging your footsteps and dragging you down, don’t sink into despair, there are plenty of changes you can make and natural remedies you can utilize to fight the feeling effectively.1."

Turns out there are real benefits to drinking lemon water, but some over-hyped ones as well.1. Helps Digestion The biggest lemon water benefit may be from the temperature of the water and not even the added lemon. Drinking any water, or especially warm water, first thing in the morning can help flush the digestive system and rehydrate the body. Think about this… During sleep, you typically haven’t been drinking for at least 8 hours. Giving the body adequate water when you first wake up is a great way to get your body and your mind going. A college friend of mine who had studied in Japan brought back that habit with her. She said that where she stayed in Japan, it was customary to drink 2-3 glasses of water first thing in the morning and that when she tried it she had noticeably more energy and improved digestion throughout the day.2. A Natural Flush The liver is extremely active during sleep since sleep is the body’s time to restore and regenerate. Drinking enough water, especially in the morning, helps make sure that the body can perform these jobs most effectively."

In general, you need to shave 3,500 calories from your regimen to lose 1 pound of body weight. The best way to accomplish this is slowly, through a combination of diet and exercise. To lose a pound in a week, you could trim 250 calories from your diet and burn an additional 250 calories through exercise.

Metabolism originates from our genetic material. Changing it would require changing our genetic material. Which is currently impossible on an individual level. Why we can't because it would require us to change the genetic material (DNA) of every single cell in our body. Changing it might (depending on the change) have an effect on the cell itself. This effect might vary from being neglectable to fatal to the cell itself.

"text": "The Benefits of Lemon Water Katie - Wellness Mama 183 Comments Updated: January 11, 2018 This post contains affiliate links Twitter Facebook Google+ Pinterest Reddit I’ve occasionally had a glass of warm lemon water in the mornings for years, but usually just because it sounded good and I wanted something warm besides coffee or herbal tea.5 Health Benefits of Lemon Water in the Morning In the last few weeks, I’ve seen several pictures and posts floating around the internet touting the benefits of drinking lemon water in the morning, so I decided to investigate this habit I’d already intuitively had for years. Turns out there are real benefits to drinking lemon water, but some over-hyped ones as well.1. Helps Digestion The biggest lemon water benefit may be from the temperature of the water and not even the added lemon. Drinking any water, or especially warm water, first thing in the morning can help flush the digestive system and rehydrate the body. Think about this… During sleep, you typically haven’t been drinking for at least 8 hours. Giving the body adequate water when you first wake up is a great way to get your body and your mind going. A college friend of mine who had studied in Japan brought back that habit with her. She said that where she stayed in Japan, it was customary to drink 2-3 glasses of water first thing in the morning and that when she tried it she had noticeably more energy and improved digestion throughout the day.2. A Natural Flush The liver is extremely active during sleep since sleep is the body’s time to restore and regenerate. Drinking enough water, especially in the morning, helps make sure that the body can perform these jobs most effectively."

"text": "\"Michael Clarke, Founder & CEO (2017-present)Updated Oct 28, 2017 · Author has 227 answers and 1.6m answer views Drink WARM LEMON WATER: first thing in the morning (3 major benefits)This daily trick can help you detoxify, improve your digestion and boost your metabolism & energy levels You're bombarded with toxins in today's modern world... everywhere from the polluted air you breathe, the water you drink, the shampoos and other cosmetics that lather your body with chemicals, and of course, all of the chemical additives, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and other harmful compounds in the food that you eat. All of these TOXINS can have harmful effects on your body, harming your metabolism and hormones, impairing your digestive system, and zapping your energy levels. If I could tell you ONE thing that you could do each morning right as you wake up to help your body eliminate some of these toxins, improve your digestion, stimulate your metabolism, and BOOST your energy, would you do it? Of course you would... and it takes less than 1 minute!Here's the trick... Immediately upon waking each day, squeeze about 1/2 to 1 full lemon (depending on size of the lemon) into an 8 oz glass of warm or room temperature purified water. This is gentler on your body first thing in the morning compared to ice cold water. I've found that slicing the lemon into quarters before squeezing by hand is easier than squeezing halves. Drink this at least 10 minutes before eating any food for the day. Make sure to use fresh organic lemons to make this drink, and not bottled lemon juice. You want to use organic lemons to avoid the pesticides that can accumulate.3 Major benefits of this morning drink to your body, health, and energy:\"\"The health promoting benefits of lemons are powerful. For centuries, it has been known that lemons contain powerful antibacterial, antiviral and immune boosting components."

"text": "When it comes to losing weight and being healthier overall, increasing your metabolism plays a big part. A faster metabolism helps you with digestion, and helps burn off fat and pounds, even while you’re sleeping. Conversely, a slow metabolism can thwart your dieting and weight loss efforts and leave you in a state of frustration, feeling like you’re genetically programmed to be heavy. Here are foods that have been shown to help give your metabolism a boost and get you on your way to a fitter you. Almonds You don’t want to go too big on the almonds, because their fat content can undo any boost they have to your metabolism, but research suggests that almonds and other tree nuts can help you out due to the essential fatty acids they contain. The good thing is they taste great, so you can use them as a snack to hold you over until your next meal, or you can chop them up and use them to top a main or side dish. Green beans are one vegetable that lends itself well to slivered almonds. And if you want to liven things up you can get similar benefits from other nuts like walnuts or cashews. Asparagus Some claim that asparagus is a negative calorie food, requiring more calories to chew and digest it than it contains. While this may or may not be the case, it’s clear that its caloric load is low, while it nutrient load is high."

August 23, 2010 1.6k Views SONY DSCGet Amazing Motorcycle Gear & Service at Rev Zilla Booster Plug Review A simple and effective leveraging of technology to mitigate many of the performance issues users cope with from modern lean-burn fuel-injected engines. A true plug-and-play device, the Booster Plug does not have or need an interface or dynamic controls. Read the installation sheet, plug it in and go riding. Like so many other cautious adopters, I am now a convert — the Booster Plug works. I can’t wait to try one on my HP2 Sport!UPDATE (November 6, 2010): Booster Plug Mk II now available, see below. Many modern motorcycles are to a great extent controlled by multi-bit processors of varying sophistication. With complex engine management systems that include multiple control processors and digital- or single-wire networks to tie everything together, most new two-wheelers are anything but simple. There is no doubt that fuel injected systems provide efficiencies and economies that cannot be ignored. Additionally, manufacturers are acutely aware of the ever-changing environmental and regulatory roadways that in large part resulted in the wide scale adoption of fuel injection, among other technologies, in the first place. But while these efficiencies and economies are most valuable when it comes time to get an engine certified for use, at the other end of the spectrum, where the user resides, these efficiencies and economies may not be as readily discerned or nor always appreciated."

"text": "\"Understanding the Pool Circulation System Your pool's circulation system is the elements of your pool that take water from the pool, filter it, heat it, and return the water back to the pool. We'll go over each of these elements and describe how they function and what you need to do with them. Water outlets: Water outlets are any pool opening where water goes out of the pool for circulation, some examples are:a.) Skimmer: The skimmer is used to circulate water from the top of the pool and to \"\"skim\"\" debris off the water surface. It is critical that the skimmer be in good operating condition and functioning properly; the skimmer basket must be in place at all times and free from damage and the skimmer weir, (flap in the throat of the skimmer that maximizes skimming action), is in place and working freely. The skimmer is the place we recommend that you use to vacuum the pool to insure any large debris that may be vacuumed up is caught in the skimmer basket thus avoiding a potential plugged circulation line.b.) Main Drain: The main drain is typically located at the deepest point of the pool and is used to lower the water level, however its primary purpose is to circulate water from the bottom of the pool. It is recommended that about 1/3rd of the circulated water come from the main drain. Some residential pools do not have main drains, instead relying on a deep water outlet to drain the pool and for extra circulation.c.) Deep Water Outlet: A deep water outlet is located on the lower portion of the side wall and is used to circulate water and to lower the water level."

"title": "http://members.tccoa.com/392bird/carbtech.htm\nHow to convert your carburetor to E85",
"text": "How to convert your carburetor to E85For Carbed engines, you need to up the size of the jets to flow about 20% more for the primary, and 35% more for the secondarys, and tune from there. The Power Valve circuit needs to have its flow increased also to bring the primary up to about 35% at WOT. This is done by increasing the Power Valve Channel Restriction (PVCR) passage size in the metering block. With 20 % increase in the primary jets, increased size of the PVCR, and 35 % increase in the secondarys, the engine will cruise in a efficient a/f range, and then richen up to the proper WOT range when the power valve operates. There are several passages in the metering blocks that should be re-sized for optimum performance. Quickfuel sells E85 metering blocks that are ready to go. They also have the needed floats, SS needle and seats, jets, and air bleeds to complete the conversion. A 750 CFM carb will need boosters with at least .150 size pins for WOT with E85. Most engines will need boosters in the .170-.180 range. Changing boosters requires special tools, and is beyond the abilities of most basic carb guys."

"text": "How To Speed Up Your 3g Modem Reception (for Faster Browsing) (free Videos Inside) by jovoodoo ( m ): 2:25pm On Sep 03, 2011I’ve discovered from using many nigerian forums that a lot of people are not getting maximum speeds from their 3g usb internet modems and that is including myself. Because of this problem i embarked on a personal research to find a remedy for this problem. I first of all discovered that the problem was not entirely that of the network operators; Why? Well 3g usb modems were first of all designed for mobility and portability and not for quality reception. That is why when you look at the side of your usb modem you will find an opening for an external antenna. The fact that the city you live in has 3g coverage doesn’t necessarily mean you will be getting quality reception or any reception at all. A major factor you have to put into consideration is how close to a 3g enabled mast your current location is. The closer you are to a 3g enabled mast the better your reception. You can try this out for yourself ; if you have poor signals where you live,take your laptop and modem to an area where a 3g mast of your network operator is located and compare the signals you’ll get there. I discovered this while i was staying in lagos."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Computers/Tablets & Networking Home Networking & Connectivity How Do Wi-Fi Boosters Work?e Bay 2 Likes Like August 12, 2016Even with a wireless router, there are usually certain areas in homes and businesses that do not pick up the signal. There are many tools available to \"\"boost\"\" the signal, one is the Wi-Fi booster. They are able to increase wireless signals, thereby increasing speed, along with some additional features. Shoppers can purchase Wi-Fi boosters at retail stores and online at websites such as e Bay. Before purchasing a Wi-Fi booster, shoppers should research the different models and learn about the optional features. Then, shoppers can purchase the device that works best for their personal wireless networking needs. Who Benefits from a Wi-Fi Booster? A Wi-Fi booster is useful for people who have numerous places in their home or business where a wireless signal does not reach and they don't want to incur the cost of running additional Cat6 cable and the networking gear to support it, like additional hubs or switches. A Wi-Fi booster connects to the owner's current wireless network and makes the signal stronger by bouncing the signal around the area allowing more users to work, play, or use gaming devices in additional areas of the home. NETGEAR found a way to help mobile users specifically when it introduced Wi-Fi Booster for Mobile in 2012."

"text": "\"Home , Automotive Repair Library, Auto Parts, Accessories, Tools & Equipment, Manuals & Books, Car BLOG, Links, Index Engine Vacuum Leaks Tweet Copyright AA1Car Have you ever tried to tune an engine only to find it won't idle or run right? Or have you ever been confronted with an engine that just doesn't seem to run right no matter what you've done or replaced? You may be dealing with an engine vacuum leak. Sometimes a vacuum leak will whistle or hiss and make itself obvious. But oftentimes, a vacuum leak will disguise itself as an ignition or fuel problem that defies diagnosis. Either way, an engine vacuum leak is bad news because allows \"\"unmetered\"\" air to enter the engine and upset the air/fuel ratio. So how do you know when a vacuum leak is causing a problem? If the engine is experiencing any of the following symptoms, a vacuum leak is probably responsible: Too fast an idle speed. If an engine without computerized idle speed control is idling too fast and refuses to come down to a normal idle speed despite your best efforts to back off the carburetor idle speed screw or air bypass adjustment screw (fuel injection), air is getting past the throttle somewhere. Common leak paths include the carburetor and throttle body gaskets, carburetor insulator spacers, intake manifold gaskets, and of course, any of the engine's vacuum fittings, hoses and accessories."

First, it's clear what Pando Media Booster is and it is also clear that some (free to play?) Games use it to download the installer: For example, the free to play DDO game will tell you very clearly that it is going to use PMB to download the 3-4GB of installer data. It does not tell you that it will install a browser plugin however, and there really doesn't seem to be any good info what the plugin actually is supposed to do. But let's take a peek at the plugin database of Firefox, located at (Win7) C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\App Data\\Roaming\\Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles\\profilename.default\\pluginreg.dat: It's a rather messy textfile, but some info is found easily enough:np Pando Web Plugin.dll|$ C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Pando Networks\\Media Booster\\np Pando Web Plugin.dll|$ 1.0.0.1|$ 1340047997129|0|4|$ Pando Web Plugin|$ Pando Web Plugin|$ 1 0|application/x-pando Plugin|This plug-in detects and launches Pando Media Booster||$Aha!"

"text": "The plug-in hybrid version of Ford's midsize sedan may sacrifice some cargo room to accommodate its battery, but the backseat's legroom isn't affected. Although space wasn't a major issue in the Fusion Energi's backseat, buried Latch anchors and our test car's stiff leather seats complicated installation. More Car Seat Checks How many car seats fit in the second row? Two What We Like There are three tether anchors on the rear shelf and they're easily accessible. The rear-facing convertible fit well; there was no need to move the front passenger seat forward to fit the car seat behind it. The rear-facing infant-safety seat also had plenty of room. What We Don't Although the booster seat had enough space and fit well on the seat, installation was complicated because the head restraint pushed the seat too far forward. Removing the head restraint was difficult. The buckles are also on short stalks that can easily sink into the seat cushion, complicating connection for kids. The two sets of Latch anchors were buried into the stiff leather seat cushions, and we were unable to use the system to install the infant seat with the seat's narrow, hooklike connectors."

"text": "Wi Fi Boosters, Repeaters and Extenders Having trouble getting a solid, reliable Wi Fi signal in some parts of your home? A Wi Fi repeater could be the solution for you. A Wi Fi repeater or extender is used to extend the coverage area of your Wi Fi network. It works by receiving your existing Wi Fi signal, amplifying it and then transmitting the boosted signal. With a Wi Fi repeater you can effectively double the coverage area of your Wi Fi network - reaching far corners of your home or office, different floors, or even extend coverage to your yard. What’s the difference between a Wi Fi booster, repeater, or extender? Wi Fi boosters, repeaters, and extenders are mostly the same thing - devices to improve Wi Fi coverage. There isn’t a clearly defined difference between devices that manufacturers describe as “repeaters” and devices described as “extenders”. However, not all Wi Fi extenders work in the exact same way. There are several different kinds of devices available and below we aim to explain what those differences are and how they work, so that you can choose the best Wi Fi repeater for your circumstances."

The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating. A handful of octane boosters can really make a difference. This guide will show exactly which ones they are. This is a very common thing with premium vehicles such as BMW’s, Mercedes, some Nissans, and a whole bunch other above average vehicles. In some instances, using an octane booster is necessary to make the internal combustion process flow smoothly. Whether you are using an octane booster for racing purposes, or simply to boost up your current vehicle ratings to help eliminate some internal carbon build-up. We’ve put together a list of the best octane boosters that are current available for the public to purchase. While there’s a few dozen brands advertising “10,20,30, 40 etc number boost” which sounds impressive, but when you narrow it down, these numbers only mean 1,2, 3, maybe 4 octane levels of boost. The products recommended below are proven to work in boosting current octane levels (by various levels), no compromises here."

"text": "The Wilson Electronics Signal Boost DB Pro Cell Phone Signal Amplifier Review TOPICS: CTIA Home Tech Wireless Gear Posted By: Judie Lipsett Stanford January 28, 201129SHARESShare Tweet I live in a rural area which is fantastic for wide open spaces and natural beauty … yet not so great for timely Fed Ex deliveries or wireless service. We have much better GSM (AT&T & T-Mobile) coverage than CDMA (Sprint & Verizon); 3G is not here yet, so we must be content with EDGE. The nearest tower is several miles away from our home, and our area is hilly, so although we do get a cellular signal, it can be weak. When standing outside our house I can get three to four bars on the i Phone 4, which is pretty fantastic; calls are clear and everything is good. But step inside, under our metal roof, and the signal will quickly drops to one or two bars. The immediate side-effects of the diminished signal are dead zones in certain parts of our home where no calls can be made or received, dropped calls and … garbling. Urgh. I had been using a Wi-Ex z Boost, which I reviewed in May 2009, but late last year we started having issues with the signal post-boost. We were experiencing more dropped calls than usual; we would have to stand in certain areas of the house in order to understand our callers — much less be understood, and even when our i Phones displayed three or four bars, we certainly weren’t getting the signal and service implied. Something was totally out of whack."

"text": "Glenn Administrator Administrators13,405 posts Location. State of Confusion Posted October 30, 2008 (edited)There has been a lot of talk about using borax as a flux, some use it straight from the box and some talk about using anhydrous borax. The difference is the chemically attached water. Borax can be easily converted to anhydrous borax by baking in the oven to drive off the water. You drive off the water at 250-300 degrees F to turn borax into anhydrous borax. So what is different from using 1500 degrees F to do the same thing. How is using borax on hot steel different from using anhydrous borax as any water will be driven off as soon as it comes in contact with the hot steel anyway.

It's a natural cleaner and disinfectant derived from a mineral. Janine Lamontagne / Getty Imagesby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated September 03, 2017What Is Borax? Borax (also known as sodium borate decahydrate; sodium pyroborate; birax; sodium tetraborate decahydrate; sodium biborate) is a natural mineral compound (Na 2 B 4 O 7 • 10H 2 O). It was discovered over 4000 years ago. Borax is usually found deep within the ground, although it has been mined near the surface in Death Valley, California since the 1800s. Although it has numerous industrial uses, in the home borax is used as a natural laundry booster, multipurpose cleaner, fungicide, preservative, insecticide, herbicide, disinfectant, dessicant, and ingredient in making 'slime'. Borax crystals are odorless, whitish (can have various color impurities), and alkaline. Borax is not flammable and is not reactive."

Applications: There are a number of uses of the PVA polymer we are studying: They may be used in sheets to make bags to act as containers for pre-measured soap you simply throw into a washing machine. The PVA sheets may be made into larger bags to be used by hospitals as containers for the cotton cloth used in the operating rooms or to hold the bed linen or clothing of infected patients. Time: This experiment will require approximately 15-20 minutes to run and clean up. Materials and Supplies:100 ml/group of poly (vinyl alcohol) 4%10 ml of sodium borate 4%Styrofoam cups and wooden stir sticks (tongue depressors)Zip lock bags or latex gloves (surgical)General Safety Guidelines: Laboratory aprons and goggles should be worn in this experiment as in all procedures. Both the borax and the PVA will burn the eyes. Hands should be washed at the end of the experiment. Procedure: The polyvinyl alcohol and sodium borate are mixed together in approximately a 10 to 1 ratio.100 ml of the 4% poly (vinyl alcohol) is added to a Styrofoam cup .

But you do not need to worry, the danger has been recognised and the necessary steps are already being taken to defuse the situation. I will start with the basics and you will understand what I mean as the story unfolds. Borax is a naturally occurring mineral commonly mined from dried salt lakes, and is the source of other manufactured boron compounds. The main deposits are in California and Turkey. Chemical names are sodium tetraboratedecahydrate, disodium tetraborate decahydrate, or simply sodium borate. This means it contains four atoms of boron as its central feature combined with two sodium atoms and ten molecules (or sometimes less) of crystallisation water - decahydrate means 10 water molecules, pentahydrate 5, and anhydrate or anhydrous borax means no crystallisation water; chemically it is all the same. Borax is commonly sold as technical or agricultural grade with 99 to 99.5% minimum purity. Potential impurities consist of sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate, carbonate, sulphate and phosphate but not toxic or heavy metals. This grade includes the borax commonly used as household cleaner."

The less common chemical names of the substances make it clear that these are two entirely different chemical compounds; borax is sodium borate, while boric acid is hydrogen borate.

Smelly dresser drawers can be caused by spills, substances transferred from clothing, bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi, insects and rodents. Bacteria and mold or mildew are the most common cause of odors. It's easy to clean, disinfect and deodorize the drawers- stopping your odor problem once and for all. No matter what the cause, it's best to get to work on the problem as soon as it is discovered. The longer a odor problem is present, the longer it will take to remove completely, as the smell - and stain will permeate more deeply into the wood. Consider the Type of Material Consider the construction of the drawer before starting to clean the wood. Solid wood drawers naturally resist liquid saturation and staining and can withstand a heavier cleaning treatment. Inexpensive drawers made of flimsy material such as particle board need a much lighter touch. Particle board and thin plywood become stained easily, warp, absorb moisture and liquids easily."

Overview Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacterium commonly associated with respiratory disease in dogs. It can also infect cats, rabbits and, in rare cases, humans. It is one of the more common bacterial causes of canine infectious tracheobronchitis, which is also sometimes called kennel cough. Bordetella bronchiseptica is one of several viral and bacterial agents responsible for kennel cough syndrome. Bordetella is highly contagious, easily transmitted through the air or direct contact, and resistant to destruction in the environment. In healthy adult dogs, Bordetella typically causes no more than a mild illness. In puppies or dogs with underlying health issues, however, it can cause severe illness or even death. The same can be said for cats who suffer this infection. A safe and effective vaccine for the upper-respiratory infection is available for dogs and cats."

Feline upper respiratory infection (URI) is the common term for a respiratory infection caused by one or more viral or bacterial agents. Synonyms for this condition include feline infectious respiratory disease and feline upper respiratory disease complex (URD). The infection may be caused by one or more viral and bacterial agents that are capable of causing disease in cats. The most common viruses that cause upper respiratory infections in cats are Feline Herpesvirus Type-1 (also known as feline viral rhinotracheitis or FVR) and Feline Calicivirus (FCV), while the most common bacteria that cause upper respiratory infections in cats are Bordetella bronchiseptica ( B. bronchiseptica) and Chlamydophila felis ( C. felis ). Herpesvirus and calicivirus are responsible for approximately 90% of all feline upper respiratory tract infections. More information about the most common infectious agents that cause an upper respiratory infection in cats can be found in separate handouts in this series of client education materials.

Symptoms and Causative Agent Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is an extremely contagious disease caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacterium. These bacteria produce toxins that paralyze parts of respiratory cells, leading to inflammation in the respiratory tract. The incubation period for pertussis is generally between 7-10 days long, but can last more than a month. After symptoms first appear, the disease can take anywhere from weeks to months to fully run its course. Initial symptoms include runny nose, sneezing, and a mild cough, which may seem like a typical cold. A mild fever also generally occurs. However, the cough slowly becomes more severe. Eventually the patient experiences bouts of rapid coughing followed by the “whooping” sound that gives the disease its common name as they try to inhale. While the coughing fit is occurring, the patient may turn blue. While symptoms may be less severe for adults, pertussis can be extremely dangerous for infants and young children."

If your dog is affected with kennel cough, you may notice one or more of the following symptoms:a strong cough, often with a “honking” sound – this is the most obvious symptomrunny nosesneezinglethargyloss of appetitelow fever Although kennel cough is easily treatable in healthy dogs, Kevin Fitzgerald, DVM, a columnist for AKC Family Dog, explains that it’s important to report a coughing symptom to your veterinarian because it could be a sign of a more serious disease. “The canine distemper virus and canine influenza virus both start off with symptoms nearly identical to kennel cough,” he said. Other conditions that can cause coughing include a collapsing trachea, bronchitis, asthma, and even heart disease. How Is Kennel Cough Treated?"

"text": "Like Bordetella Vaccines Are Killing Animals!Find Out How To Avoid The Horror Stories Below The Bordetella Vaccine, or Kennel Cough Vaccine, is usually given to canine puppies many times throughout the first year in a series of numerous shots, and then yearly as a booster. Although it is given so frequently, the bordetalla shot is often unnecessary. Many vets are becoming aware of the need to only administer this vaccine on a case to case basis, and only recommending it to dogs that are frequently around a large number of dogs, as in the case of show dogs. The reason veterinarians are becoming hesitant to administer such a vaccine is the substantial evidence showing it can cause mild to extreme adverse reactions in your pet. The bordetella vaccine side effects can include soreness and a lump at the injection site, hives, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, breathing difficulties, lameness, or even death. The vaccine for kennel cough is usually given in a set of shots nicknamed “cocktail” vaccines, where many different viruses are being injected, easily over-stimulating your dog’s immune system where it cannot possibly overcome the onslaught of so many diseases all at once. This is why many dogs have these negative reactions to the vaccines. Their bodies just cannot handle creating all the antibodies at once, especially if they are under one year or a small breed. [ banner-rotator-fx settings=”settings-mr1.xml”] [/banner-rotator-fx]Even if your dog does not show any side-effects to the bordetella vaccination, it may not prevent him from contracting the illness. Fever, steroids, disease, or maternal antibodies can prevent your dog’s ability to make the proper immune blockers that the kennel cough shot is designed to produce."

The most common symptom of canine kennel cough is a harsh, hacking cough that sounds as if something is stuck in your dog’s throat. While it may sound as if your dog could cough up a lung, in general, kennel cough isn’t serious and it usually resolves on its own, just as the common cold does with people. Unfortunately for the concerned pet owner, this can take days to weeks. You will notice in most cases, despite the hacking cough, that your dog will want to eat, drink, and play normally. This annoying cough is most commonly caused by highly contagious bacteria; in other cases, the cause can be viral. Dogs in highly populated situations such as boarding facilities, doggy day care, and dog parks are most likely to get kennel cough, which can be transmitted by air or by contact with infected surfaces. Puppies and younger dogs are at the greatest risk, but older dogs can also become infected. Symptoms The signs of kennel cough can vary greatly. The most common symptom is a hacking cough."

It can be a little intimidating—she needs nutritious food, plenty of attention, gentle training, safe toys, socialization, a comfortable home, and proper veterinary care. And that includes puppy vaccinations throughout her first year. Which Vaccinations Do Puppies Need? Going to the vet repeatedly over several months for vaccinations, and then for boosters or titers throughout your dog’s life, may seem like an inconvenience, but the diseases that vaccinations will shield our pets from are dangerous, potentially deadly, and, thankfully, largely preventable. RELATED: Your Puppy’s First Vet Visit–What to Expect We read about so many different vaccinations, for so many different illnesses, that it can sometimes be confusing to know which vaccinations puppies need and which ones are important but optional. Here is an overview of the diseases that vaccinations will help your pet to avoid.

All the information I've received states that vaccinations should be less frequent but they don't all give the same agenda. What is the proper protocol? I'm under the impression that adult dogs do not need yearly vaccinations and that rabies vaccines need be given only every three years. Also that in most cases Lepto and corona vaccines are not necessary. I must admit that I have not been giving either of these vaccines to my dogs for several years due to bad reactions in the past. Thank you, Jan Answer: Jan- At the present time there is no universally accepted vaccination protocol for dogs or cats. Veterinarians are really divided over the best way to vaccinate. These are the main camps:1) Vets who think that vaccinations should be given every year. Their logic: a) The labels say to do that and following label directions lessens liability."

Whooping cough can be very serious and result in life-threatening complications, especially in infants less than six months of age.

However, your dog could contract kennel cough anywhere they come into contact with other dogs; such as, the groomer, the veterinarian's office, in dog obedience class, at a dog show or any other dog related event. Any time your dog is in the vicinity of an infected dog, the potential exists for infection. Kennel cough is caused by an airborne virus, which is highly contagious. The incubation period is about 7-10 days, meaning your dog will not display symptoms of illness for about 7-10 days following exposure to the virus. How do I prevent my dog from getting kennel cough? Vaccinating your dog with the Bordetella vaccine can help reduce their risk. However, be aware that your dog can still contract the Kennel Cough virus even if he or she has been vaccinated."

Related to whooping cough: croup Whooping Cough Definition Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is a highly contagious disease which causesclassic spasms (paroxysms) of uncontrollable coughing, followed by a sharp, high-pitched intake of air which creates the characteristic \"\"whoop\"\" of the disease's name. Description Whooping cough is caused by a bacteria called Bordatella pertussis. B. pertussis causes itsmost severe symptoms by attaching itself to those cells in the respiratory tract which have cilia. Cilia are small, hair-like projections that beat continuously, and serve to constantly sweep therespiratory tract clean of such debris as mucus, bacteria, viruses, and dead cells. When B. pertussis interferes with this normal, janitorial function, mucus and cellular debris accumulateand cause constant irritation to the respiratory tract, triggering coughing and increasing furthermucus production. Whooping cough is a disease which exists throughout the world. While people of any age cancontract whooping cough, children under the age of two are at the highest risk for both thedisease and for serious complications and death. Apparently, exposure to B. pertussis bacteriaearlier in life gives a person some immunity against infection with it later on."

"text": "By Dr. Becker Kennel cough, which is also called infectious tracheobronchitis or Bordetella, is a very common upper respiratory infection in dogs. The condition can be triggered by several different viruses and bacteria, but the most common trigger is the presence of both the parainfluenza virus and the bacteria called Bordetella bronchiseptica. How Dogs Contract Kennel Cough Kennel cough is highly contagious and can remain infective for 6 to 14 weeks after symptoms resolve. Both viral and bacterial causes of kennel cough are spread in the air by sneezing, coughing dogs. Healthy dogs inhale the aerosolized respiratory secretions. If the functioning of an otherwise healthy dog's respiratory tract is compromised by stressors like travel, being housed in a crowded environment, cold temperatures, environmental pollutants like dust or cigarette smoke, or infectious viruses like the parainfluenza virus, reovirus, adenovirus, or the distemper virus, then Bordetella bronchiseptica – the chief infectious bacterial agent of kennel cough – can enter the respiratory tract. Bordetella bacteria are usually accompanied by at least one other infectious agent, usually a virus. So kennel cough is actually multiple infections and not just a single infection. Most cases of kennel cough occur in dogs that spend time in crowded quarters with inadequate ventilation and lots of warm air. Good examples are boarding kennels, grooming shops, and animal shelters."

"text": "BOTOX ® Treatment FAQs If you've tried an anticholinergic medication and are still experiencing leakage or cannot tolerate the side effects, you and your physician may decide that BOTOX ® (onabotulinumtoxin A) is right for you. As you plan for treatment with BOTOX ® for your urinary incontinence from overactive bladder due to a neurologic condition, you should know what to expect. You may have questions such as: Will my urologist perform testing first? What can testing tell my doctor? What happens before I receive treatment? What can I expect on the day of treatment? What happens after treatment? If you have any additional questions about urinary incontinence resulting from a neurologic condition or treatment with BOTOX ®, please talk with your urologist. Indications BOTOX ® is a prescription medicine that is injected into the bladder muscle and used: To treat overactive bladder symptoms such as a strong need to urinate with leakage or wetting accidents; urgency and frequency in adults when another type of medication (anticholinergic) does not work well enough or cannot be taken To treat leakage of urine (incontinence) in adults, with overactive bladder due to neurologic condition, who still have leakage or cannot tolerate the side effects after trying an anticholinergic medication IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONBOTOX ® may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after injection of BOTOX ®: Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing, due to weakening of associated muscles, can be severe and result in loss of life."

It’s been used successfully for many years in the U. S. for cosmetic purposes, and providers perform millions of procedures with it each year. Botox has some competition, however. In 2009, Dysport entered the U. S. market reporting the same benefits as Botox — the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it in 2009 — but it has been used in Europe for well over a decade as a popular Botox alternative. Allergan makes Botox and had an exclusive U. S. cosmetic market from 2002-2009. Medicis Aesthetics, the makers of Restylane and Perlane, was behind Dysport, and they presented the first real competition to Botox. Dysport is now owned by Galderma and has gained traction as a popular botulinum toxin for wrinkle reduction to the point where many patients now request it by name. Common Dysport vs Botox Questions Should I switch from Botox? What’s the difference between Dysport and Botox? Can I use both?"

The answer: both are right. You probably have one of two reactions: Why should I care? How can both be true? The price survey is part of an effort to seek transparency in the health care marketplace: In other words, you should know what stuff costs. If you’re not interested in Botox, then the price may not seem important to you.

"text": "Dysport Injections Dysport and Botox are in the category of cosmetic injectables called “toxins.” While the word “toxin” may technically be the correct word to use, it often frightens patients away from a very safe, effective, elegant and undetectable treatment that ultimately brings much satisfaction. Several new toxins will be introduced in the near future so it behooves the public to become familiar with the terminology and to recognize this class of injectables as probably the most efficacious, practical and rewarding treatments available. Dysport and Botox are both composed of botulinum toxin A which inhibits the communication between nerves and muscles, resulting in the relaxation of the muscle and the disappearance of skin lines. Dysport was approved for cosmetic use in 2009 and has provided us with an alternative to Botox. On the average, Dysport is less expensive than Botox. The results of a treatment with Dysport Beverly Hills may be very similar to that of Botox. However, the onset of action of Dysport is often faster than with Botox and in some individuals, Dysport may last longer than Botox. In others however, Botox lasts longer. One cannot predict which substance will last longer; it differs from individual to individual; some even maintain that they see no difference at all."

After all, migraines can be painful and debilitating, and they can greatly affect your quality of life. If you experience migraine symptoms on 15 or more days each month, you have chronic migraines. Over-the-counter or prescription medications may help ease some of your symptoms, but some patients don’t respond well to pain relievers. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe preventive medicines, which are designed to reduce the frequency and severity of your symptoms. According to research published in the journal Neurology, only about one-third of patients with chronic migraines take preventive medicines. In 2010, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of onabotulinumtoxin A as a treatment for chronic migraines. It’s more commonly known as Botox-A or Botox.

A: Don’t worry about doing your Botox touch-up a tad early: everybody metabolizes Botox differently, so the 3- to 4-month recommendation is just a guideline. One or two weeks either way should be fine. Botox is perfectly safe, so you don’t have to worry about getting “too much.” You may need less in this second treatment if your first treatment is still active. Please be sure to get your Botox from a board-certified dermatologist who has expert injection technique.

These may include asthenia, generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, blurred vision, ptosis, dysphagia, dysphonia, dysarthria, urinary incontinence, and breathing difficulties. These symptoms have been reported hours to weeks after injection. Swallowing and breathing difficulties can be life threatening and there have been reports of death. The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children treated for spasticity but symptoms can also occur in adults treated for spasticity and other conditions, particularly in those patients who have underlying conditions that would predispose them to these symptoms. In unapproved uses, including spasticity in children and adults, and in approved indications, cases of spread of effect have occurred at doses comparable to those used to treat cervical dystonia and at lower doses. DESCRIPTIONBOTOX ® (onabotulinumtoxin A) for injection, is a sterile, vacuum-dried purified botulinum toxin type A, produced from fermentation of Hall strain Clostridium botulinum type A grown in a medium containing casein hydrolysate, glucose, and yeast extract, and intended for intramuscular and intradermal use. It is purified from the culture solution by dialysis and a series of acid precipitations to a complex consisting of the neurotoxin, and several accessory proteins. The complex is dissolved in sterile sodium chloride solution containing Albumin Human and is sterile filtered (0.2 microns) prior to filling and vacuum-drying. One Unit of BOTOX ® corresponds to the calculated median intraperitoneal lethal dose (LD 50) in mice."

NOTE: This information isn't a substitute for medical advice provided by your own doctor. If you think you might have hypertension or elevated blood pressure, be sure to discuss your blood pressure concerns with a doctor or nurse, who can help you factor in other important information, such as other medical problems you may have.

Also, if you find that your systolic blood pressure (the first, or \"\"top\"\" number) is higher than at least 130, and your diastolic number (the second number, or \"\"bottom\"\" number) is lower than 80, you may have something called Isolated Systolic Hypertension.

"text": "Overview A blood pressure test measures the pressure in your arteries as your heart pumps. You might have a blood pressure test as a part of a routine doctor's appointment or as a screening for high blood pressure (hypertension). Many people, such as those with high blood pressure, do their own blood pressure tests at home so that they can better track their health. You may have more frequent blood pressure tests if you've been diagnosed with elevated blood pressure, high blood pressure (hypertension) or low blood pressure (hypotension). Why it's done Having a blood pressure test is a routine part of most medical appointments. Your doctor may order separate appointments for repeat blood pressure checks to look for ongoing health conditions, including elevated blood pressure, high blood pressure (hypertension), low blood pressure (hypotension), heart disease or other conditions. You should have a blood pressure test performed at least once every two years to screen for high blood pressure as a risk factor for heart disease and stroke, starting at age 18. If you're age 40 or older or if you're age 18 to 39 with a high risk of high blood pressure, ask your doctor for a blood pressure reading every year. Your doctor may recommend screening at a younger age if there are additional risk factors for developing heart disease, such as being overweight or having a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease. If you've already been diagnosed with high or low blood pressure, you should have blood pressure tests more frequently."

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The top number is usually most important, that's your systolic blood pressure. Mainly that's because people can have isolated systolic hypertension, meaning their top number is high but the bottom is not. That's not to say that the bottom number is fine no matter what it is though... The doctor can diagnose you with hypertension if the either value is elevated. That's just the way the guidelines are set up. There's a rubric for what is considered \"\"high\"\" for diastolic and for systolic. A \"\"high\"\" number in either category, diastolic and/or systolic, can qualify as hypertension. You should see the doctor, that's pretty high."

Blood pressure (BP) is a measurement of how hard the heart is working to push blood through the blood vessels. There are 2 numbers in a blood pressure reading. An example of a blood pressure reading is 120/80 (say: 120 over 80). The top number (in this example, 120) is the systolic (say: siss-TOL-ick) pressure. It indicates the pressure of the blood flowing through the blood vessels when the heart is contracting and forcing the blood out. The bottom number (in this example, 80) is the diastolic (say: die-us-TOL-ick) pressure. It tells you the pressure of the blood flowing through the blood vessels when the heart is at rest. Because your child's blood pressure tends to be high, you need to measure it at home. Learning how to measure your child's blood pressure will take a little time, but it is not difficult."

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

Share Flipboard Email Print Hero Images / Getty Imagesby Rod Brouhard, EMT-PUpdated January 30, 2018Ever noticed how a hose spouting water in your favorite Saturday-morning cartoon always looked like it was a snake vomiting footballs? Despite the fact that the water coming out of the end of the hose was running smoothly, it's still a pretty good representation of how blood flows through our veins: in waves that we call pulses. The Pressure of the Blood Blood pressure is the force exerted against blood vessel walls by the blood as it flows through them. Because of the way arteries and veins are used by the circulatory system, arterial walls are much thicker and withstand higher pressures than venous walls do. Arteries have the ability to expand and constrict much more than veins can, which is necessary to adjust blood pressure. Because they exert that control, they have to be sturdy. When we measure blood pressure, we are measuring the pressure in the arteries. Usually, we measure the pressure in the brachial artery, although it is possible to measure blood pressure in other arteries as well."

How Does Body Weight Affect Heart Rate After Exercising? What Does a Fluctuating Pulse Mean? Long Term Responses to Exercise & Cardiac Output Causes of a Slow Heart Rate During Exercise Blood pressure measurements tell you how strongly your blood is pushing against arterial walls. Diastolic pressure measures the force of your blood when your heart is at rest between contractions. This measurement usually shows little or no change during exercise, although it can vary, depending on factors such as your body position during exercise, the type of exercise and whether you have heart-related problems. Effects of Exercise If your blood pressure reading is 130/90 (expressed in mm Hg, or millimeters of mercury), 130 is your systolic pressure -- the pressure in your arteries when your heart contracts -- and 90 is your diastolic pressure. During aerobic exercise, systolic pressure should gradually increase as your heart beats harder and faster and your arteries contract to pump more oxygen-rich blood. However, because the arteries in your working muscles start to dilate rather than constrict, the net result is little change in your diastolic pressure. There may even be a slight decrease if you are working at a less than maximum heart rate."

Violet, who longs to escape her relationship with her mafioso boyfriend Caesar, enters into a clandestine affair with alluring ex-con Corky, and the two women hatch a scheme to steal $2 million of mafia money. Bound was the first film directed by the Wachowskis, and they took inspiration from Billy Wilder to tell a noir story filled with sex and violence. Financed by Dino De Laurentiis, the film was made on a tight budget with the help of frugal crew members including cinematographer Bill Pope. The directors initially struggled to cast the lesbian characters of Violet and Corky before securing Tilly and Gershon. To choreograph the sex scenes, the directors employed 'sex educator' Susie Bright, who has a bit part in the film."

It is their task to state the law as they find it and apply it to the case before them. In practice however they are constantly faced with situations where what they do amounts to making new law Even so, where possible they do base their decisions on previous Judge made law (known as judicial) decisions on similar facts. Note that the word used here is \"\"similar\"\" because it would never be the case that two factual situations were identical. What is important is that the facts that matter are the same. These are known as the material facts and where they are the same as a previous case it is in the interests of justice that like cases should be treated alike. For example, taking a hypothetical case involving a road accident, some factual differences between the present case and a previous one would be unimportant. The colour of the car or the clothes the drivers were wearing would be unlikely to matter very much."

The confidence interval can take any number of probabilities, with the most common being 95% or 99%. Next Up Systematic Sampling Adjustment Interval Interval Fund Sampling BREAKING DOWN 'Confidence Interval'A confidence interval is the probability that a value will fall between an upper and lower bound of a probability distribution. For example, given a 99% confidence interval, stock XYZ's return will fall between -6.7% and +8.3% over the next year. In layman's terms, you are 99% confident that the returns of holding XYZ stock over the next year will fall between -6.7% and +8.3%. Statisticians use confidence intervals to measure uncertainty. A higher probability associated with the confidence interval means that there is a greater degree of certainty that the parameter falls within the bounds of the interval. Therefore, a higher confidence level indicates that the parameters must be broader to ensure that level of confidence. Calculating the Confidence Interval For example, suppose a group of researchers is studying the heights of high school basketball players. The researchers take a random sample from the population and establish a mean height of 74 inches."

Does that mean that not every subset of F has a least upper bound (equivalently, a greatest lower bound), or does that mean that none of the subsets of F have a least upper bound (or greatest lower bound)? It is the fact that F is both countable and atomless which confuses me.general-topology boolean-algebrashare cite improve this questionedited Nov 9 '17 at 19:28asked Nov 9 '17 at 16:21student375 1 9add a comment1 Answer active oldest votesup vote0down vote Suppose that O is an open set of 2 ω such that ¯O is not clopen. ( There are plenty of those as we have c many open sets but only ℵ 0 many clopen ones.). As the clopens form a base for 2 ω we can write O = ⋃ C for some countable family of clopen subsets C. Then C does not have a supremum in Clop ( 2 ω): Suppose we have a clopen set D that contains all members of C (so an upper bound), then O = ⋃ C ⊂ D, and also ¯O ⊂ D, by how we chose O, D ∖¯O is non-empty open and so contains some non-empty clopen set D ′ and then D ∖ D ′ is a strictly smaller clopen upperbound for C, so no smallest upperbound extists. This is what the incompleteness means, there are some (necessarily infinite) subsets of Clop ( 2 ω) that do not have a supremum in it. In RO ( 2 ω) (the completion of Clop ( 2 ω)) the supremum of C is int¯O, of course.share cite improve this answeredited Nov 9 '17 at 19:15answered Nov 9 '17 at 18:34Henno Brandsma81.9k 2 40 93add a comment Your Answer Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service."

"text": "Print Reference this This essay has been submitted by a law student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Omission means a failure to act Definition: According to oxford law dictionary the word omission means: ‘a failure to act' that means when a person is bound to do or act but he omits to do that or deliberately neglects it, it's called omission. “A summary of criminal law on omissions: a defendant is only guilty of a crime when failing to act, where he or she is under a duty to act”. J. Herring [2008] Criminal Law, text, cases, and material. For example if a person passing by a pool saw a child drowning in it and there is no other sources present to rescue him from drowning and that person passes by that pool and leaving the child to die, he commits omission. Introduction: There are generally two kinds of duties which a human being has towards his fellow men, firstly he is duty bound by law to act according to law of the time or current statute in force, that is called statutory duties, failing to those he could be guilty of criminal prosecution. On the other hand there are some moral duties of a man towards his fellow human being, in that case he is not duty bound by law but by moral traditions or moral values, these duties are called moral duties. A legal common law duty is nothing else than the enforcing by law of that which is a moral obligation without legal enforcement. Lord Coleridge CJ in Instan [1893]In majority of the criminal cases there are two types of element involved, firstly its mens rea which is an intention to commit offence and it's related to the mind of the offender, secondly there is actus rea which also called the act of the offender which is related to doing or acting of a particular act."

That document, dated May 2, 1989, represents the position on divorce and remarriage that will guide the church in matters of membership and discipline. The paper you hold in your hands is NOT the official church position on divorce and remarriage. It is my own understanding of the Scriptures and therefore the guidelines for my own life and teaching and ministerial involvement in weddings. But I intend to respect the official statement (having written the first draft myself) as our guide in matters of membership and discipline. I make this paper available so that the basis for certain statements in the official paper can be readily obtained. Background and Introduction All of my adult life, until I was faced with the necessity of dealing with divorce and remarriage in the pastoral context, I held the prevailing Protestant view that remarriage after divorce was Biblically sanctioned in cases where divorce had resulted from desertion or persistent adultery. Only when I was compelled, some years ago, in teaching through the gospel of Luke, to deal with Jesus' absolute statement in Luke 16:18 did I begin to question that inherited position. I felt an immense burden in having to teach our congregation what the revealed will of God is in this matter of divorce and remarriage. I was not unaware that among my people there were those who had been divorced and remarried, and those who had been divorced and remained unmarried, and those who were in the process of divorce or contemplating it as a possibility."

The free one are, as their name implies, free in the cytoplasm, while the bound ones are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum; when looked at with an electron microscope, the reticulum looks sprayed with tiny dots- the ribosomes and is therefore called rough endoplasmic; as for the difference: 1. Free ones usually synthesize proteins meant for intracellular use. 2. Bound ones usually synthesize proteins for extracellular use. Process of exporting proteins out of the cell is lengthy and implies changes to the proteins, in the endoplasmic reticulum and further in the Golgi apparatus; changes may occur to the structure of the protein, but what always happenns is that is is inserted into a vesicle; bound ribosomes synthesize their proteins directly into the reticulum, which helps speed up the process; insulin for example is synthesized by bound proteins;Mike · 6 years ago0 0 Comment Types Of Ribosomes Source (s):https://shrinke.im/a0565dundas · 1 year ago0 0 Comment This Site Might Help You.

"text": "The difference in structure and function of different ribosome types is continually being researched and amended, but there are currently two ways in which they can be classified. The first way is to classify them based on the kind of cell they inhabit: archaeal, eukaryotic, or eubacterial. The organelles in these specific types of cells differ in composition, size, and protein to ribonucleic acid ( RNA) ratio. The second way in which ribosomes are classified involves whether they are bound to a membrane or remain free-floating within the cell. The terms used to describe this classification are “membrane-bound” and “free,” respectively. The differences between archaeal, eukaryotic, and eubacterial organelles can be seen if the cells are spun in a centrifuge. Each type has a unique sedimentation pattern and rate as the cell separates in the lab. Measured in Svedberg units, which express the rate at which the sedimentation accumulates, bacterial ribosomes belong to the 70 Svedberg class, whereas both archaeal and eukaryotic ribosomes belong to the 80 Svedberg class. To distinguish further, each type also differs in size and ratio of protein to RNA. For example, the eukaryotic type measures between 25 to 35 nanometers (nm) and has a protein ratio of 1:1, while the other types measure differently."

Also, eukaryotic cells are characterized by the presence of membrane-bound organelles in the cytoplasm. Organelles such as mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes are held in place by the cytoskeleton, an internal network that supports transport of intracellular components and helps maintain cell shape ( Figure ).

"text": "\"Home »Biology The Structure and Function of Ribosomes in Eukaryotes & Prokaryotes By Brett Smith; Updated March 09, 2018Ribosomes are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They are made up of proteins and RNA molecules called subunits. The predominant function of ribosomes is the translation of messenger RNA (m RNA) into proteins. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have many ribosomes, but the ribosomes found in eukaryotic cells are larger and more sophisticated than those of the prokaryotic cell. Different Sizes and Compositions The sizes of ribosomes and other cell structures are described in terms of Svedberg units (S), which are actually a measure of sedimentation rate in a centrifuge. Prokaryotic ribosomes are 70S particle units with 30S and 50S subunits -- with the 30S subunit containing 16S RNA and 21 peptides. Eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S units with 40S and 60S subunits -- with the 40S subunit containing 18S RNA and 33 polypeptides and the 60S containing 28S RNA, 5.8S RNA, 5S RNA and 49 polypeptides. Locations within the Cell One of the major differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells have cell organelles with distinct membranes and prokaryotic cells do not. This means that ribosomes in prokaryotic cells are free-floating in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells, ribosomes can roam free in the cytoplasm, but they can also be bound to the exterior of the endoplasmic reticulum."

What are the questions that spring to mind when you think about these fascinating little molecules? Perhaps you already know that they are the sub cellular organelles that produce proteins, fulfilling a vital function in the metabolic reactions of the organism. Ribosomes If you’ve never come across the word or the molecule before, then ribosomes are fascinating little structures within eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. What do you need to know about them? Why do they constitute such a key part of our understanding of how the cell and the organism functions? Let’s take a look at some of the most fundamental questions you might like to have answered about ribosomes. Who Discovered Ribosomes? George Palade, a Romanian-born naturalized American and cell biologist, was the first to describe free cytosolic ribosomes through his work at the Rockefeller Institute (although they had not been named at that time). 1 In his work with Philip Siekevitz and others, he went on to investigate the ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the function of the ribosome in the production of proteins."

The term is sometimes used to refer only to protein translation but more often it refers to a multi-step process, beginning with amino acid synthesis and transcription of nuclear DNA into messenger RNA, which is then used as input to translation. The cistron DNA is transcribed into a variety of RNA intermediates. The last version is used as a template in synthesis of a polypeptide chain. Proteins can often be synthesized directly from genes by translating m RNA. When a protein must be available on short notice or in large quantities, a protein precursor is produced. A proprotein is an inactive protein containing one or more inhibitory peptides that can be activated when the inhibitory sequence is removed by proteolysis during posttranslational modification. A preprotein is a form that contains a signal sequence (an N-terminal signal peptide) that specifies its insertion into or through membranes, i.e., targets them for secretion. The signal peptide is cleaved off in the endoplasmic reticulum. Preproproteins have both sequences (inhibitory and signal) still present."

Most experts agree that bowlegs are normal in children up until 24 to 36 months of age. National Athletic Trainers' Association Administration Bow-legged, or genu varum, is when you have outward bowing of the legs, so that the knees are further apart than the ankles when standing. This is most common in children, but is also present in adults.

This may improve your ability to get around and help increase the distance you can walk comfortably. Knee braces come in a variety of designs, but most are constructed with a combination of rigid and flexible materials — plastic, metal or other composite material for basic structure and support, and synthetic rubber or moldable foam for padding and positioning. Why it's done Knee arthritis Osteoarthritis is the wear-and-tear type of arthritis that commonly affects the knees of older people. The disease frequently affects one side of your knee more than the other. This unequal damage can cause or worsen a malalignment that may make your stance look knock-kneed or bowlegged. As the damage progresses, this malalignment worsens. A knee brace can take pressure off the part of your joint most affected by osteoarthritis and help relieve pain. If your knee feels like it might buckle when you put weight on it, a knee brace can also help you stand and move around with more confidence.

With the Steinhatchee River on the west and the Suwannee River on the east, it was prime land for the Native Americans and early settlers. According from one source, the first white man to come to the Dixie area was in 1820, a young man named George Miller who was from North Carolina. He became friends with Suwannee and Bowlegs, Native Americans, and sons of Chief Tigertail and his wife, Suwannee, of the Seminole tribe, who settled in the region around Lake Miccosukee near what is now Tallahassee. With the blessings of the Indians, Miller settled in the area. He planted corn and peanuts and raised cattle and hogs.

"text": "\"The Facts Each year, participation in sports or exercise accounts for approximately 35% of injuries that occur in Canada. People who participate in sports are more likely than others of the same age to have muscle and tendon injuries and bone fractures. This certainly doesn't mean you should avoid sports - the health benefits far outweigh the cost in terms of sports injuries. Causes Sports injuries are most commonly caused by poor training methods; structural abnormalities; weakness in muscles, tendons, ligaments; and unsafe exercising environments. The most common cause of injury is poor training. For example, muscles need 48 hours to recover after a workout. Increasing exercise intensity too quickly and not stopping when pain develops while exercising also causes injury. Everyone's bone architecture is a little different, and almost all of us have one or two weak points where the arrangement of bone and muscle leaves us prone to injury. Common predisposing factor in injuries to the ankles, legs, knees, and hips include:uneven leg lengthexcessive pronation (flat feet)cavus foot (over-high arches)bowlegged or knock-knee alignment Uneven leg length may lead to awkward running and increases the chance of injury, but many people with equal-length legs suffer the same effects by running on tilted running tracks or along the side of a road that is higher in the centre. The hip of the leg that strikes the higher surface will suffer more strain."

A pleasant enough creature when left alone, the porcupine is quick to defend itself at the slightest threat. With a top speed of little more than a fast waddle, it can escape very few animals; however, its defensive weapons are so effective, it has no need for speed. These weapons, which are really modified hairs, take the form of a protective body armor of needle-sharp quills. Researchers estimate the porcupine has more than 30,000 of these quills with as many as 100 to 140 growing from each square inch of skin. Only the nose, legs, and underside are unprotected. The rest of the body, from eyebrow to tail tip, is covered with prickly spines. A heavy underfur keeps the porcupine warm in the winter, then is shed during hot weather. The stiffest, longest, and most numerous quills are found on the back and tail. Those on the sides are more slender and flexible."

"text": "The Second Seminole War Posted on November 30, 2015 by Ojibwa During the nineteenth century the United States engaged in three wars with the Seminole Indians in Florida: 1816 to about 1824; 1835 to 1842; and 1855 to 1858. Contrary to some popular opinions, there was no traditional overall governmental or political organization among the Seminole at this time. They tended to be politically organized around busk groups, each of which had its own medicine bundle on which the annual busk (green corn) ceremony was focused. Thus, the Seminole military actions against the U. S. military did not have a single leader or coordinator. The Second Seminole War (1835-1842) stemmed from the American policy of removing all Indians from east of the Mississippi River and relocating them in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). Many of the Seminole, however, were not in favor of removal and resisted American attempts at forcing their removal. The war began when a group of anti-removal warriors under the leadership of Osceola killed Charley Emathla, a pro-removal leader, and Wiley Thompson, the Seminole agent. Over a period of seven years, the United States spent nearly $40 million in trying to defeat, capture, and remove the Seminole. As a result of this conflict, most of the Seminole were relocated onto the Creek Nation in Oklahoma. When the government troops withdrew in 1842, declaring victory, several hundred Seminole remained in Florida."

People from other tribes joined them and they became known as the Seminole tribe. Seminole Wars The Seminole people fought to keep their land from the United States in a series of wars called the Seminole Wars. The First Seminole War took place when Andrew Jackson and 3,000 soldiers invaded northern Florida in 1817.

These foods should be sliced thinly and should not be given to very young tortoises. Tortoises should always have a regular supply of drinking water available to them. A good way to ensure that a tortoise is hydrated is to give it a shallow bath in warm water, as it absorbs small amounts of water through its tail."

"text": "\"What is hibernation? Hibernation is a process that increases the chance of survival when cold temperature, a lack of food sources, or a low water supply are causing an animal to expend more energy than what it takes in. Technically, only mammals hibernate. Those that hibernate produce a substance called hibernation inducement trigger (HIT), which causes them to go into hibernation. Their body temperature lowers dramatically, and their respiratory rate and pulse also markedly decrease. While in the state of hibernation, they live off of their fat supplies. Bears are typical of species that hibernate. In reptiles the process is more accurately called \"\"brumation.\"\" Due to cold temperatures, the body metabolism slows down to the point where little energy is used. The reptile remains awake, but is very sluggish."

They have a strong connection to the location where they are born, rarely traveling far from it. Being taken from their home can be a stressful experience if their every need is not met. Many box turtles live only a fourth as long in captivity due to stress and not getting all of their essential needs met. It’s important you know how to care for them. The Enclosure The first thing you should worry about is building an enclosure for your turtle. This should be taken care of before you even bring your new friend home. Your first choice is whether to build it inside or outside. Box turtles tend to be happier in an outdoor enclosure, and will be healthier with the constant supply of sunlight (if you keep your turtle indoors, you should still take them outside to get some sun for an hour or two each day). But on the other hand, indoor enclosures offer you better control over the temperature."

They can also be found in northern Mexico as far south as Sonora and Chihuahua. Desert Box Turtle Habitat The desert box turtle is found in regions that are arid, semi-arid, grasslands, and prairies. It needs soil that is easy to dig for nesting and hibernating. You can often find the desert box turtle in prairie dog towns. The desert box turtle is only active in the summer months when the humidity is very high.

One type of indoor container that actually works quite well is a large Rubbermaid tub. Rubbermaid tubs and specially built wooden boxes have an advantage over glass aquariums because they have opaque sides. Some box turtles will obsessively try to get through the glass to get to the larger area that they can see on the other side. Others become frightened by any activity in the room and will not relax until the sides are covered. If you live within the natural range of any of the American box turtles, you should seriously consider an outdoor setup with sun, shade, a variety of weeds, and a small pond of water that is deep enough for swimming. Turtles are happier and healthier under these conditions. Some type of protection is required to prevent raccoons, dogs, or other predators from entering the enclosure.

They are still primarily wild animals and even those in captivity hold onto their basic instincts from the wilderness. In the wild, there are several months of every year in which survival becomes harder. The temperature drops, causing plants to wilt and bugs to be less plentiful.

Each of these turtles has different dietary needs and preferences, so the first step in keeping it healthy is to have it identified by an experienced veterinarian. Foods for Pet Turtles Depending on the species, turtles can be herbivores (eating only plants), carnivores (eating only meat) or omnivores (eating both plants and meat). Pet stores offer a range of turtle food products in pellets, sticks and chunks, formulated for different types of turtles and providing balanced nutrition with appropriate vitamins and minerals to keep the turtles healthy. However, this type of bland food is not the only thing turtles can eat, and it can be healthier and less expensive to offer turtles a range of fresh foods. Foods popular for pet turtles, depending on the species, include: Source Protein: Boiled eggs, mealworms, snails, crickets, earthworms Vegetables: Corn, beans, beets, carrots, peas, squash, yams Greens: Carrot tops, lettuce, collard greens, kale, spinach Fruits: Apples, grapes, strawberries, cantaloupe, banana, kiwi, mango, tomato Flowers: Geraniums, dandelions, petunias, lilies, carnations In addition to a range of foods and pet store supplements, offering pet turtles an additional source of calcium - necessary for a strong, healthy shell - is also a good idea. Crushed eggshells, oyster shells and cuttlebone are all fantastic calcium sources that you can add to your turtle's diet on a regular basis. Pet Turtle Feeding Tips The best diet for a pet turtle is one that is fresh and varied to provide a range of nutritional sources. Just like humans, turtles have individual tastes, and offering different foods will help keep the turtle well fed and happy."

"text": "\"Pets & Animals Reptiles Turtles Q: How Do You Determine the Age of a Box Turtle? A: Quick Answer The easiest way to determine the age of a box turtle is to look at his plastron and count the rings on it. The plastron is the ventral, or abdominal, part of the animal's shell. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is a Three-Toed Box Turtle? How Can You Tell How Old a Snapping Turtle Is? How Do You Tell the Age of a Snapping Turtle? Full Answer Each year, a turtle’s plastron grows a new layer, resulting in the appearance of rings, much like a tree's rings, on the creature's shell. The older a turtle gets, the harder it is to use this method to determine his age due to wear and tear on bottom of his shell. This method is highly accurate for turtles younger than 10 years old. Once a turtle reaches 20, the rings are partially worn off."

"text": "What Do Box Turtles Eat? By Mei Sawyer Learn more about box turtles... Source Although all turtles have certain aspects in common, box turtles don't necessarily chow down on the same foods as red-eared slider turtles and tortoises. Each turtle type, to some degree, has specific dietary requirements, and you'll notice even more variations as you learn about what your particular pet enjoys most. The Wild Diet of a Box Turtle American box turtles are happy roaming the woods and enjoying a varied omnivorous diet. Box turtles held in captivity will eat the same snacks as their wild cousins, including fruits, vegetables, grasses, greens, snails, slugs and bugs. In fact, box turtles will give nearly everything a taste if they happen upon it, so it's essential that you control quantities and accessibility to ensure your pet's health. Commercial Turtle Meal Box turtle meal can be purchased in pet stores that carry supplies for reptiles and fish. All box turtles need some kind of calcium addition in their diet, and they will get that if you provide a cuttlebone or a calcium supplement. One example of a quality turtle calcium supplement is Rep-Cal, which comes highly recommended by reptile enthusiasts. Fresh Foods Besides commercially-produced turtle food, you should try to mix up a salad and offer a variety of live snacks."

"text": "Pet Box Turtles Table of Contents General Information Physical Characteristics Types of Terrapene Types of Cuora Related Care Guide Content A great pet for beginners since they don’t grow large (not for young children though). Box turtles on average only grow to 5 to 8 inches long (13-20cm). You can keep a box turtle in a 20 gallon tank (76 litters) or a couple of them in about a 60 gallon tank (227 litters) They are non-aquatic and don’t need a pool or pond if you don’t have the space; that’s not to say the wouldn’t enjoy this in their turtle tank habitat or living space. Even though box turtles don’t grow large or require a large habitat, they do live an average of 50 year and some might even live to 100 years old. Just realize that if you buy a turtle or pet tortoise, it will be a pet that will be around for a long time. This can be interpreted two ways. It’s a negative in the sense that if a child out grows their pet and loses interest, the pet might get the care it needs to stay happy. On a positive thought, it’s never easy to see a pet die, so the long lifespan of a box turtle will mean you won’t have to say goodbye for a very long time.

"text": "\"Common Diseases of Aquatic Turtles By Robert Boumis Those shells aren't proof against bacteria so, like any animal, turtles are vulnerable to a variety of diseases. You need to know the symptoms of these illnesses. That knowledge can help you protect and care for your hard-shelled pets. Respiratory Infections Like humans, some turtles contract respiratory infections, similar to human colds and pneumonia. In a turtle, these symptoms include choking, mucus discharges and gasping. You may also see more subtle symptoms like weakness and listlessness, and even leaning to one side. A veterinarian's care, including antibiotics, can correct this condition. Keep up on cleaning your turtle's tank to help your turtle heal and prevent future respiratory infections. Mouth Rot You should also watch out for mouth rot, or \"\"infectious stomatitis.\"\" Poor maintenance and bacteria cause this disease."

"text": "\"Kitten Care A few kitten tips If you have not owned a Bengal kitten, it would be wise to formularize yourself with the Bengal breed so you are not disappointed later and giving your cat up for adoption. They are from the wild Asian Leopard bloodline, but generations away separate them from the wild to a domesticated tame cat. They are Hypoallergenic Cats. But they are very curious and have a lot of energy in their adolescent stage from 4 weeks to 6 months old. They need plenty of scratchier and toys to keep them occupied. Having two kittens will be much easier on them and you, they will play with each other, instead of crying because of being alone. When they are older being alone is ok, they don't mind it. There are many good books and the Internet to read up on them, and this information will be useful to you. It's just a few steps of knowledge to owning a healthy kitten and understanding the Bengal personality. You should not sleep with your new kitten until they have learned where their new litter box is and gets used to using it."

I read it in books all the time, and i know its some way to inflict pain or punish, but what do you do when you \"\"box ears\"\"?3 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Boxing your ears is not only very painful, it is also dangerous to your hearing. It is done by slightly cupping your hands and then clapping them with a persons head it the middle so that your hands force air into the ear with similar pressure to that which makes the sound of the clapped hand. The recipient of the \"\"box\"\" usually will suffer intense pain for a few minutes and at least partial hearing loss for at least a day or two. Initially the victim will be convinced that the damage is permanent (as well it may be). mostly because of how much it hurts. I am hoping to tell you what a monumentally stupid thing it is to do to someone. There are situations where it could happen by accident. like a person has their hands over their ears and something bumps into the hand or arm. That hurts bad enough."

During the 1960's they were well distributed through out most of the United States wherever grasslands were abundant, and as far north as southern Canada. By 1980 the Barn Owl was not very common in the mid-western states, and almost completely gone from Canada. All States located north of the 41st parallel and east of the Rocky Mountains declared the species Endangered or Threatened by 1985. Today the distribution of the species in North America has dropped even further south, and it is considered rare in States east of the Rocky Mountains and north of the 39th parallel. Q: What is the primary food of the Barn Owl? A: The Barn Owl feeds mainly on the Meadow Vole, but also eats mice, shrews, and rats. Q: How many voles do these birds consume per night? A: Each Barn Owl usually consumes 6 voles or vole-sized rodents per night."

"text": "\"Cat Behaviors And What They Mean – Tail Flicking, Nipping, Kneading, And More Posted by Cathy Add comments Cat Body Language – What Is My Cat Saying? Cat are way more flexible that you or I could probably ever hope to be. Therefore, they can get into positions that mean so many different things. And, with their tail, they have a cat tail language all their own. While cats don’t have speech like we do, they can convey quite a lot simply by what they do and how they use their tails. There have been whole books written on cat body language, therefore it would be madness to try and cover every aspect in this one article. However, I do believe it is possible to cover the most frequent messages you will get from your cat – the things they do the most often, and they way they use their tails most often. Why does my cat flick her tail and purr at the same time? Cat tail signs, such as a flicking tail, can mean many things. If a cat is flicking it’s tail and is crouched, it’s usually an indication that they are stalking, or watching prey, ready to pounce."

"text": "Printer Friendly Version Middle Ear Fluid In Children The ear has three parts-the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The outer ear includes the part outside the head and the ear canal. The eardrum is a small circle of tissue about the size of a fingertip at the end of the ear canal. The middle ear is the space, usually filled with air, behind the eardrum. When a child has middle ear fluid, this is where it is found. A small tube-the Eustachian tube-connects the middle ear to the back of the nose. Three tiny bones (the malleus, incus, and stapes) connect the eardrum through the middle ear to the inner ear. The inner ear is further inside the head and is important for hearing and balance. In a healthy ear, sound waves travel through the ear canal and make the eardrum move back and forth. This makes the three bones in the middle ear move."

"text": "An Earache May Point To Problems In The Head And Neck Region June 14, 1989 | By Dr. Allan Bruckheim. Q-When I went to my doctor with a problem earache, he did a battery of tests on my ears but found no cause for my problem. My doctor has asked me to schedule a followup appointment so he can perform additional examinations of my head, neck and throat. Does this make sense to you? How could a possible problem in these areas cause an earache? A-The head, neck and throat exams are very good thinking on your doctor`s part. Otalgia, or earache, is often caused by disease in the head and neck region. Many of the nerves in the neck transmit sensory impulses to the ear canal. Loss of sensation in the ear can actually be a symptom of a lesion in one of the cranial nerves, which extend from the brain without passing through the spinal cord. An earache in a person who smokes or drinks could be a symptom of cancer in the head or neck region."

There is a definite linkage, as illustrated in the table below, but it is by no means a simple nor a direct one. Physical Property Perceptual Experience Frequency Pitch Amplitude Loudness• We're now discussing a sense other than vision, so you should begin to think of comparisons between audition and vision. For this chapter, focus on the physical stimulus (sound vs. light) and the transduction sites (inner ear hair cells vs. retina). In what ways does audition differ from vision? Consistent with Theme 1, you should also note similarities between audition and vision. Moreover, you should begin to think about ways in which audition and vision interact with one another. The Auditory Stimulus• The visual stimulus is light energy from a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum, ultimately transduced by photoreceptors in the retina. Auditory stimuli are created by objects (e.g., a human speaking, someone playing a musical instrument, a tree falling in the forest) that produce changes in pressure in some elastic medium (typically air, though other elastic media work as well), ultimately transduced by hair cells in the inner ear. The sound-producing object often vibrates, causing molecules in the elastic medium to become more dense (compression) or less dense (rarefaction)."

I have a Yamaha RX-V1800 and one of its features is that it allows you to run 2 additional speakers mounted above and outside the mains. What they do is add ambiance information derived from Yamaha's DSP functions to simulate the spacial effects of different rooms that Yamaha has recorded. I understand that other receivers offer this same feature. I tried the DSP both through the main speakers and through the extra presence speakers. The difference is huge and there is no comparison between sending the DSP to the mains as compared to using extra presence speakers. I also compared each to straight feed through the Dolby decoder. Running the 2 extra presence speakers gave me the most bang for the buck, so that will be where I concentrate this post."

One basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1%, or 0.01%, or 0.0001, and is used to denote the percentage change in a financial instrument. The relationship between percentage changes and basis points can be summarized as follows: 1% change = 100 basis points, and 0.01% = 1 basis point. Basis Points Percentage Terms1 0.01%5 0.05%10 0.1%50 0.5%100 1%1000 10%10000 100%Basis point is typically expressed in the abbreviations \"\"bp\"\", \"\"bps\"\", or \"\"bips. \"\" Next Up Price Value of a Basis Point - ... Cost Basis IRS Publication 551 - Basis Of ... Average Cost Basis Method BREAKING DOWN 'Basis Point (BPS)'The \"\"basis\"\" in basis point comes from the base move between two percentages, or the spread between two interest rates. Because the changes recorded are usually narrow, and because small changes can have outsized outcomes, the \"\"basis\"\" is a fraction of a percent. The basis point is commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indices, and the yield of a fixed-income security. It is common for bonds and loans to be quoted in basis point terms. For example, it could be said that the interest rate offered by your bank is 50 basis points higher than LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). A bond whose yield increases from 5% to 5.5% is said to increase by 50 basis points; or interest rates that have risen 1% are said to have increased by 100 basis points."

"text": "BP oil spill BP's reckless conduct caused Deepwater Horizon oil spill, judge rules Judge’s ruling that BP bears 67% of blame for Deepwater Horizon disaster could nearly quadruple amount of civil penalties Halliburton reaches $1.1bn settlement in BP oil spill Associated Press in Baton Rouge, Louisiana Thu 4 Sep 2014 12.11 EDT11.43 EDTThis article is over 3 years old A fire aboard the mobile offshore oil drilling unit Deepwater Horizon, located in the Gulf of Mexico some 50 miles southeast of Venice, Louisiana, US. Photograph: US Coast Guard/EPABP bears the majority of responsibility among the companies involved in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, a federal judge ruled Thursday, citing the energy giant’s reckless conduct over the disaster in a ruling that exposes it to billions of dollars in penalties. BP plc already has agreed to pay billions of dollars in criminal fines and compensation to people and businesses affected by the disaster, the worst-ever US oil spill. But US district Judge Carl Barbier’s ruling could nearly quadruple what the London-based company has to pay in civil fines for polluting the Gulf of Mexico during the 2010 spill. Barbier presided over a trial in 2013 to apportion blame for the spill that spewed oil for 87 days in 2010. Eleven men died after the well blew. The judge essentially divided blame among the three companies involved in the spill, ruling that BP bears 67% of the blame; Swiss-based drilling rig owner Transocean Ltd takes 30%; and Houston-based cement contractor Halliburton Energy Service takes 3%. In his 153-page ruling, Barbier said BP made “profit-driven decisions” during the drilling of the well that led to the deadly blowout. “These instances of negligence, taken together, evince an extreme deviation from the standard of care and a conscious disregard of known risks,” he wrote. BP said in a news release that it would appeal the ruling, saying the company “believes that an impartial view of the record does not support the erroneous conclusion reached by the district court."

When you begin clinical practice it will be necessary then, so it is a good idea to start seeing both the trade ( clinical) and generic names. Dr. Ishac | SNS | CV | PNS | Eye | NMJ | return to top Sympathetic nervous system return to Ishac return to top Question: Why is \"\"dry mouth\"\" a side effect of an alpha 2 agonist such as clonidine? Answer: Salivary glands receive sympathetic innervation (alpha1 & beta-receptors) in addition to cholinergic inneration (muscarinic). Activation of either system will increase secretion. The cholinergic is the more important system. Clonidine acts on the presynaptic alpha2-receptor to decrease NE release and hence decrease secretions from the salivary gland, resulting in dry mouth (very common). Question: Why do sympathomimetics make you sweaty if sweat glands have muscarinic receptors? Answer: The Sympathetic NS regulates sweating (see table on page 81) by controlling the function of about five million sweat glands in the body."

Involves the classic baroreceptor reflex It rapidly modulates BP during activity and postural changes. Major regulated parameter is the resistance of the vascular tree. Sympathetic output changes vascular resistance. What in the brain stem controls blood pressure? Blood pressure is regulated around a set point controlled by the brain stem nuclei called the vasomotor center. Based on signals from the BP sensors, the brain stem then sends signals to the heart and blood vessels via the autonomic nervous system. The resulting sympathetic signals maintain BP nearly constant in the short-term through relatively fast vascular and cardiac responses."

"text": "\"Print Read to me Tweet// Health A-Z /Tests and Treatments Blood Pressure: Taking Your Child's Blood Pressure At Home What is blood pressure? Blood pressure (BP) is a measurement of how hard the heart is working to push blood through the blood vessels. There are 2 numbers in a blood pressure reading. An example of a blood pressure reading is 120/80 (say: 120 over 80). The top number (in this example, 120) is the systolic (say: siss-TOL-ick) pressure. It indicates the pressure of the blood flowing through the blood vessels when the heart is contracting and forcing the blood out. The bottom number (in this example, 80) is the diastolic (say: die-us-TOL-ick) pressure. It tells you the pressure of the blood flowing through the blood vessels when the heart is at rest. Because your child's blood pressure tends to be high, you need to measure it at home. Learning how to measure your child's blood pressure will take a little time, but it is not difficult."

In the first of a new series of features rounding up available consumer health technology, we take a look at a selection of the best home blood pressure monitors currently available to buy. Omron BP786Omron is one of the most established brands on the home blood pressure (BP) monitor market. And judging by some of the online user reviews of their products, Omron is one of the first names doctors recommend to patients who are considering purchasing their own BP monitor, which would seem to justify their \"\"#1 Doctor Recommended Brand\"\" strapline. Those looking for bells and whistles may be disappointed, but the Omron is a reliable, simple \"\"does what it says on the tin\"\" device. Image credit: Omron The company boasts an almost bewildering range of 21 BP monitors for sale - the majority of which are for use on the upper arm, although they also offer a small range of wrist-mounted monitors. Omron kindly sent us their BP786 monitor for review, which is the latest device in their popular \"\"10 series.\"\" Currently retailing for less than $80, the BP786 seems to have been slightly less popular so far than its older 10 series siblings. Although - like most modern home BP monitors - the BP786 can hook up to a computer or mobile device, a common complaint in user reviews is that the device appeared to have been \"\"rushed to market,\"\" with the apps that allow the monitor to interact with devices not released to customers until some time after the physical product had launched. Particular problems have been reported with the Android app, although the Omron is fairly unique in offering any Android support at all, with most mobile-friendly monitors integrating only with Apple's i OS platforms (for i Phone, i Pad and i Pod)."

"text": "Regret vs. Remorse Only remorse leads to a real apology and change Posted Jul 01, 2015SHARETWEETEMAILMOREOne of the hallmarks of the BP/NP is their lack of truly being sorry. Even though a BP/NP may say s/he is sorry, there is often something lacking. The BP/NP may regret an action, but it is hard to see true remorse in their response. What’s the difference between regret and remorse? Regret has to do with wishing you hadn’t taken a particular action. You may regret an action because it hurt someone else, but you may also regret it because it hurt you, it cost you something emotionally or financially, or led to a punishment or undesirable result. Regret can lead a person to feel sorrow, grief, hurt and anger —but these can be for the pain s/he feels for the self, not necessarily for the other person who was hurt by the behavior. The BP/NP can definitely feel regret. But does the BP/NP feel remorse? Remorse involves self-reproof, admitting one’s own mistakes, and taking responsibility for your actions."

Whenever the pulse rate (at wrist) increases, does that mean that BP is high too? Also whenever the pulse is normal, does that mean that BP is normal too? A: There is no good correlation between pulse rate and blood pressure in people with good health. Pulse rate increases in situations of acute lowering of BP as a protective phenomenon to increase the cardiac output. In people with high BP there is no substitute to measuring the BP. Pulse rate measurement does not give an indication of the BP. RELATED FAQFluctuating blood pressure, is there a need to start life long medicine?"

"text": "\"How to live with a bipolar personlindamarie61Member | 8 years on site | 24 posts Bipolar disorder is a mental illness in which a person suffers from dramatic hyperactive episodes followed by bouts of depression. Living with a bipolar person can be extremely stressful, both emotionally and financially. Bipolar people can have immense energy and spend lots of money when they are on a high, then be depressed for days immediately after. Their families can begin to feel guilty and burdened. How to cope 1. Confront the bipolar person you are living with if you see him using drugs or alcohol. Remind him that substance abuse can make his condition worse because depressants like alcohol could bring on a depression, and stimulants like cocaine could make his manic episodes worse. 2. Talk to her about going to psychotherapy sessions. These sessions can help a bipolar person deal with the difficulties that come with the disease, and help her not feel so alone."

"text": "\"Health Diseases & Conditions Heart Diseases What does it mean when the top number of your blood pressure is high?1 following Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: the top number is your \"\"systolic\"\" pressure. Normal is 120. Anything over 135-140 is high and should be treated. The \"\"systolic\"\" pressure is the moment after your left ventricle pumps out the blood and is the highest pressure in the heart cycle. High blood pressure can be from many things but often it is the arteries that are no longer complaint. That means when the ventricle pushes the blood into the arteries they normally swell as bit taking some of the pressure. If arterys are \"\"hardend\"\" and dont \"\"swell\"\" then all that blood pushed in has no where to go and hence pressure goes up. High blood pressure over time will cause organ damage (heart, kidneys, liver etc) There are lots of medications for this but diet is important.. no salt especially.freeside49 · 10 years ago1 0 Comment The top number of your BP is called \"\"systolic\"\" and is the pressure when the heart is pumping, measured in mm of mercury. The bottom number is called \"\"diastolic\"\" and is the pressure maintained when the heart is resting, between beats as it were. The heart spends 2/3 of it's time resting and 1/3 of its time pumping, so technically, the diastolic is a bit more important, as if it is elevated, the heart is working too hard when it should be \"\"resting\"\"."

"text": "\"Circulatory Pathways Virtually every cell, tissue, organ, and system in the body is impacted by the circulatory system. This includes the generalized and more specialized functions of transport of materials, capillary exchange, maintaining health by transporting white blood cells and various immunoglobulins (antibodies), hemostasis, regulation of body temperature, and helping to maintain acid-base balance. In addition to these shared functions, many systems enjoy a unique relationship with the circulatory system. [ link] summarizes these relationships. As you learn about the vessels of the systemic and pulmonary circuits, notice that many arteries and veins share the same names, parallel one another throughout the body, and are very similar on the right and left sides of the body. These pairs of vessels will be traced through only one side of the body. Where differences occur in branching patterns or when vessels are singular, this will be indicated. For example, you will find a pair of femoral arteries and a pair of femoral veins, with one vessel on each side of the body. In contrast, some vessels closer to the midline of the body, such as the aorta, are unique. Moreover, some superficial veins, such as the great saphenous vein in the femoral region, have no arterial counterpart."

O'Donnell MDShow morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/0741-5214 (93)90672-9 Get rights and content Abstract Purpose: Occlusion of the common carotid artery (CCA) is generally associated with occlusion of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA). Occasionally, however, collateral circulation to the ECA may preserve patency of the ICA via retrograde perfusion through the bulb. These patients may suffer ongoing transient ischemic attacks and risk for stroke. Recognition of this pathologic variant may allow for effective surgical intervention. Methods: We have performed seven operations in six patients with occluded CCAs and patent ECA and ICAs. The occluded CCA was on the left side in each case ( p < 0.01). Six of the operations were performed for ischemic symptoms, including amaurosis fugax in five patients, hemispheric TIA in one patient, and profound global ischemia in two patients who had concomitant occlusions of other extracranial vessels. In the five most recent cases the patent ECA and ICA above the occluded CCA were recognized by preoperative duplex scanning, which prompted cerebral angiography. A variety of reconstructive procedures were used, depending on the pathologic anatomy."

Bergman, Ph D Adel K. Afifi, MD, MS Ryosuke Miyauchi, MDPeer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed The variations in the vena cava and brachiocephalic veins arise from the embryonic development of the great veins. They may be classified in the following way. Variations Due to Persistence of Left Common Cardinal Vein. The left subclavian may join the left internal jugular vein to form a trunk that continues almost vertically downward over the arch of the aorta in front of the root of the left lung and opens into the coronary sinus of the heart. This variation is known as the persistent left superior vena cava and results from the retention of the embryonic arrangement. It occurs (all sources) in about 0.4% of cases. A persistent left superior vena cava may be associated with the presence of two azygos veins. When a left superior vena cava is present, the accessory hemiazygos vein (the remnant of the anterior part of the left cardinal vein) may open into it by arching over the root of the left lung, in a way similar to that in which the azygos (the right cardinal vein) opens into the superior vena cava over the root of the right lung. The usual left brachiocephalic vein may be absent, or quite small or even rudimentary. The left innominate vein may receive anomalous pulmonary veins; the longest recorded living history of an individual with this \"\"incompatible with life\"\" variation is forty-two years."

"text": "Use terminology, order placement, and coding guidelines to accurately capture these specialized services. Arterial catheter placement is a ubiquitous part of interventional radiology, cardiology, and endovascular surgery, and affects both facility and physician coding. Because it is such an important part of these specialty procedures, choosing the correct placement codes is essential for accurately capturing the physician’s services, ensuring proper reimbursement, and maintaining compliance. Learning specific codes for any individual artery is not necessary because there are so many named vessels, and coding can vary for the same vessel depending on the access site, approach to the vessel, and variant anatomy. For example, a superficial femoral artery (SFA) selection is a first order placement for an antegrade approach with an ipsilateral common femoral access but is a third order placement for a contralateral approach (up and over the bifurcation of the aorta). For a physician to meet the minimum documentation requirement, it’s imperative for the documentation to include all locations used to gain access into the vascular system, all vessels into which the catheter is placed, and the route the catheter took to get to these vessels. Documenting variant anatomy encountered during the procedure also is necessary as this may affect coding. The following concepts, along with good physician documentation, will allow you to code even the most challenging reports. Know These Key Terms To gain a better understanding of arterial system catheter placement coding, familiarize yourself with these key terms. Vascular access is the location (s) where the patient’s vascular system is entered."

"text": "Health General Health Care Other - General Health Care The brachiocephalic veins take blood to what vessel? Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: Hi Arturo, The left and right brachiocephalic veins (or innominate veins) in the upper chest are formed by the union of each corresponding internal jugular vein and subclavian vein. These vessels merge to form the superior vena cava. The brachiocephalic veins are the major veins returning blood to the superior vena cava. The superior and inferior vena cava are collectively called the venae cavae. They are the veins that return deoxygenated blood from the body into the heart.

"text": "\"Upper Extremity Venous Evaluation Click here to take the quiz. Introduction The presence of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis was, for many years, neglected. It was thought that upper extremity deep vein thrombosis was more of a nuisance than a true medical entity. This perception has dramatically changed. It is now recognized that upper extremity deep vein thrombosis can account for at least 10% and as high as 30% of incident cases of pulmonary embolism. In addition, the increased used of chronic venous access catheters such as PICS (Peripherally Inserted Central venous catheters), and various tunneled catheters has been associated with an increased incidence of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis. This is compounded by the fact that many of these patients have a malignancy, a well recognized and major risk factor for the development of either lower or upper extremity thrombophlebitis. Figure 1: The deep system of the upper extremity veins consist of paired veins below the elbow (ulnar, radial and interosseous). These form the paired brachial veins that then join the basilic vein to form the axillary vein. The axillary vein continues as the subclavian."

If your pet isn’t small enough to be carried on and stowed beneath the seat in front of yours, be prepared for anything ranging from flat-out rejection to greeting a host of safety criteria for your pet to protect the airline's limited liability. For instance, Southwest Airlines no longer allows pets to be transported with checked baggage, so your dog or cat's carrier has to be stored under the seat in front of you and your pet has to be able to stand up and move around in it. That limits you to a very small pet! In addition, there can be only one pet traveling per person, and there is a limit of six pets on one plane. Not all airlines are this strict, but they all have their rules. If they must be stowed in the hold, here is a list of some important things for you to consider when flying with your dog or cat in cargo together with our recommendations for the best pet cargo carrier s for airline travel.

You are in essence googling something that supports your preconception. That's like googling images with \"\"irish old man\"\" and then wondering why do Irish people in the results look like old men. The idea of Finns as east Asian looking comes from hundred year old racial theories, where Finns were seen as \"\"non-white\"\" and \"\"mongoloid\"\" as to prove they are inferior to \"\"white\"\" Europeans. This idea was then propagated by Western Europeans seeking to prove their supermacy. Thea idea of Finns as \"\"mongoloid\"\" partly originated from Finns having a language unrelated to Indo-European. The hundred year old incorrect racial stereotype still exists, and has moved on to be an internet meme joke, contributing to google searches you make. When it comes to \"\"Asian eyes\"\", or eyes with epicanthic fold, skin from upper eyelid that covers the inner corner of eye, they are not restricted to Asians.

There are however other coat colors that have been seen. These colors include red Rottweiler puppies, blue Rottweiler puppies, white or albino, and all black. These coat colors are a genetic mutation in a puppy but can be seen in pictures of Rottweiler puppies. Generally, different coat colors are the result of a recessive gene in one or both parents.

"text": "10 Things You Didn’t Know about the Blue French Bulldog Tiffany Raiford + 3 years ago No Comments The blue French bulldog is just like any other French bulldog save for the coloration of the dog’s fur. What makes this dog a bit different in terms of color is nothing more than the fact that the dog has a slightly bluish hue that derives from genetics. These are very small dogs that are known to be very affectionate and needy, and they’re not the kind of bulldog that makes a good watch dog or protector. This is a ‘silly’ dog that breathes loudly, has some funny habits and does get sick more often than other dogs. It’s a very masculine little dog that’s primary purpose in life is to act as a companion. They are not the kind of dogs that you want to leave home often or ignore when you are home. They are very friendly, love attention and affection from anyone, and they’re very cute dogs that will elicit a lot of attention from others. It was several centuries ago in England when lace makers and breeders began to downsize bulldogs. They very selectively bred these dogs so that their litters would be born very small and very friendly, and it worked well. They were known as “toy” dogs and they became very popular in France after the French discovered what the English were doing to breed the dogs."

"text": "Do Frenchies drool, snore, and make other funny noises? The answers to these questions are no, yes, and yes. We love our dogs, but we are not big fans of dog slobber, so it is a good thing these great little dogs do not slobber a lot or we would have a hard time getting too close to them. That’s not to say that they never have any moisture around their mouth area, but it is not a problem even for the most squeamish among us. With their gorgeous short snouts (Frenchies are one of the brachycephalic breeds), Frenchies do not breathe as efficiently as dog breeds with longer snouts such as the sporting breeds, especially through their noses, so they breathe through their mouths more than longer snouted breeds. This results in some unusual noises coming from them, some much more so than others, such as noisy breathing or snorting, even when they have not exerted themselves. We personally think these noises are one of the endearing features of Frenchies and are kind of funny and cute and they don’t bother us in the least. Most Frenchies do snore at least a little (some more than a little), although not nearly as bad as the men in our family. About the only time we ever hear them snoring is when they are asleep on the floor during the day at our feet, and it is only a few of them that snore noticeably, but certainly nothing that is annoying. If your Frenchie is making excessive noises, it is probably because he/she has over exerted himself/herself and needs to take it easy for a while."

"text": "Home » Dog Conditions Chest Bone Deformity in Dogs Pectus Excavatum in Dogs In pectus excavatum, the sternum and costal cartilages are deformed, resulting in a horizontal narrowing of the chest, primarily on the posterior side. The sternum, or chest bone, is a long flat bone located in the center of the thorax, and the costal cartilages are the cartilages that connect the chest bone with the ends of the ribs. In appearance, the middle of the chest appear to be flat or concave, rather than slightly convex. Brachycephalic (short-nose) breed dogs are predisposed to this condition and in most cases are born with (congenital) this disability. Symptoms and Types Difficult breathing Unable to perform routine exercise Increased depth of breathing Recurrent lung infections Weight loss Coughing Vomiting Poor appetite Failure to gain weight Causes There is a genetic predisposition in some dog breeds, particularly brachycephalic breeds, but pectus excavatum can occur spontaneously in any breed. The condition may not be obvious until several weeks after birth unless it is a severe form. Raising puppies on surfaces causing poor footing may also predispose these animals to developing such a condition. Diagnosis You will need to give your veterinarian a thorough history of your dog's health, any information you have of its parentage and genetic background, and the onset of symptoms. Routine laboratory tests will include complete blood tests, biochemical profiles, and a urinalysis. Your veterinarian will conduct multiple X-rays of the thoracic cavity to confirm the diagnosis of pectus excavatum."

"text": "Dyspnea (Trouble Breathing) in Dogs22 Jul, 2015 Pet Place.com Veterinarians 417,186 Views Share Overview of Dyspnea (Trouble Breathing) in Dogs Respiratory distress, often called dyspnea, is labored, difficult breathing or shortness of breath that can occur at any time during the breathing process, during inspiration (breathing in) or expiration (breathing out). When your dog has trouble breathing, he may not be able to get enough oxygen to his tissues. Additionally, if he has heart failure, he may not be able to pump sufficient blood to his muscles and other tissues. Dyspnea is often associated with accumulation of fluid (edema) in the lungs or the chest cavity (pleural effusion). This fluid can lead to shortness of breath and coughing. Causes Heart disease or heart failure Lung disease Tumors or cancer in the lung or which press on the airway Infections such as pneumonia)Obstructions that occlude the airway Trauma Bleeding into the lungs or chest Abnormal fluid accumulation in/or around the lungs from various causes including heart and lung disease Infectious tracheobronchitis (kennel cough) is common in dogs that have been boarded or kenneled, and intact (non-spayed) female dogs are predisposed to breast cancer (metastatic mammary carcinoma). Younger animals are more likely to develop lung infections. In addition, certain breeds are predisposed to some of the conditions that cause dyspnea. For example: Brachycephalic breeds (short faced breeds such as bulldogs and Boston terriers) are predisposed to upper airway problems, such as narrowed nostrils, laryngeal paralysis, and elongated soft palate, where they have trouble getting air into their airways. Of course, brachycephalic breeds often have noisy breathing because of the shape of their face and neck, but respiratory difficulty may be exacerbated and become serious when the animal is exposed to the stress of hot or humid weather, undergoes anesthesia, has a fever and/or is excessively excited."

All Boston Terriers suffer from some degree of brachycephalic syndrome, which is associated with respiratory problems, digestive problems, and all kinds of eye problems, especially severe corneal ulcers and cataracts. Loose knee joints (luxating patella) can require expensive surgery. Then there is epilepsy, mast cell tumors, and chronic allergies that cause terribly itchy skin. Boston Terriers can be born deaf, or partially deaf. ( See more health problems below. ) Preventing health problems Some health problems are inherited. For example, if both parents of your Boston Terrier have certificates proving they were tested and cleared of hereditary eye diseases and luxating patella, your Boston Terrier has less risk of developing those conditions.

Before I go further - I have to clarify a semantic issue. In the US the term \"\"wolfdog\"\" is often used interchangeably with the term \"\"wolf hybrid\"\". However, the FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) uses the term wolfdog to describe dog breeds whose ancestry can be directly traced back to wolves via their studbooks. Two breeds actually can trace their origins back to the wolf: The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog (Also recognized by the AKC as the Czechoslovakian Vlcak) - This breed was established in Czechoslovakia by breeding Carpathian wolves with German shepherds, breeding started in 1958. The Saarloos Wolfdog - Established in the Netherlands by breeding Siberian wolves (and possibly timber wolves?) with German shepherds, breeding started in 1935.

A few typical causes of runny eyes include: Conjunctivitis A disease of the cornea Tear duct obstruction Dry eye, a condition known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS)Proper treatment of your pet’s eye problem will depend on the cause. Dr. Becker's Comments: If your pet has excessive tearing, or epiphora, the constant watery discharge can irritate the skin around the eyes, create an unpleasant odor, and even cause an infection. This discharge also contains pigments that can stain your pet's fur a reddish brown color. Epiphora is a common problem for pet owners. Unfortunately, it can be a very difficult problem to solve. There are two primary causes for a dog's or cat's runny eyes: Eye irritation Abnormal tear drainage Acute Eye Irritation If your pet's eyes suddenly start tearing excessively and you notice other signs of irritation like a partially closed eye, squinting or pawing at the eyes, this is an acute situation requiring quick action. There could be a foreign object lodged in your pet's eye, or a tear or other damage to the eye itself. It's likely your dog or cat is in some pain from the eye irritation."

In This Article Abstract and Introduction Pathophysiology of Tremor General Approach to an Outpatient with Tremor Specific Types of Tremor Conclusion References Specific Types of Tremor This section describes the types of tremor that are most commonly encountered in an outpatient setting and rarer, but important differential diagnoses that require specific treatment. Physiologic Tremor Slight, usually bilateral postural or kinetic action tremor, particularly in the hands and fingers, is a normal phenomenon and does not indicate a disorder ( physiologic tremor ). Physiologic tremor is more intense in situations of stress or anxiety, after strenuous physical work or exercise, or after ingestion of caffeine or other stimulants. More pronounced cases of easily visible and usually reversible tremor without evidence of neurologic disease reflect enhanced physiologic tremor. [ 1] Usually, nonpharmacologic treatment options are sufficient. However, for some patients, even mild physiologic tremor can lead to large degrees of embarrassment and functional disability, such as the violinist at a decisive audition, or any professional giving an important presentation. The use of a β-blocker (e.g., propranolol) before such a situation may alleviate the tremor, but the optimal dose should be found prior to the important event. Essential Tremor Essential tremor is the most common form of tremor, and probably the most common movement disorder in general."

Parkinson's disease is one of the most common movement disorders, affecting about 1% of people older than 60 years. Parkinson's disease is about 1.5 times more common in men than in women, and it becomes more likely to occur in people as they age. Parkinson's disease is not a hereditary disease. The average age of onset is about 60 years. Onset before age 40 years is relatively uncommon, but the much-publicized diagnosis of actor Michael J. Fox shows that younger people are also vulnerable. In Parkinson's disease, brain cells deteriorate (or degenerate) in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra. From the substantia nigra, specific nerve cell tracts connect to another part of the brain called the corpus striatum, where the neurotransmitter (a chemical messenger in the brain) called dopamine is released. Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter and alterations in its concentration can lead to the different medical problems seen in Parkinson's disease. The loss of these specific brain cells and decline in dopamine concentration are key steps that lead to the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease as well as are the target for treatments of Parkinson's disease."

"text": "Description Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disease that affects motor neurons, which are specialized nerve cells that control muscle movement. These nerve cells are found in the spinal cord and the brain. In ALS, motor neurons die (atrophy) over time, leading to muscle weakness, a loss of muscle mass, and an inability to control movement. There are many different types of ALS; these types are distinguished by their signs and symptoms and their genetic cause or lack of clear genetic association. Most people with ALS have a form of the condition that is described as sporadic, which means it occurs in people with no apparent history of the disorder in their family. People with sporadic ALS usually first develop features of the condition in their late fifties or early sixties. A small proportion of people with ALS, estimated at 5 to 10 percent, have a family history of ALS or a related condition called frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which is a progressive brain disorder that affects personality, behavior, and language. The signs and symptoms of familial ALS typically first appear in one's late forties or early fifties. Rarely, people with familial ALS develop symptoms in childhood or their teenage years. These individuals have a rare form of the disorder known as juvenile ALS."

Related to Parkinson Disease: Alzheimer disease Parkinson Disease Definition Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive movement disorder marked by tremors, rigidity, slowmovements (bradykinesia), and posture instability. It occurs when cells in one of the movement-control centers of the brain begin to die for unknown reasons. PD was first noted by Britishphysician James Parkinson in the early 1800s. Description Usually beginning in a person's late fifties or early sixties, Parkinson disease causes a progressivedecline in movement control, affecting the ability to control initiation, speed, and smoothness of motion. Symptoms of PD are seen in up to 15% of those ages 65-74, and almost 30% of thoseages 75-84. Most cases of PD are sporadic. This means that there is a spontaneous and permanent change in nucleotide sequences (the building blocks of genes)."

"text": "Is Parkinson’s An Autoimmune Disease? By: Gary Rothbard, MD, MS in Neuromuscular03.14.14 l 6 Comments Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition resulting from an imbalance of dopamine and acetylcholine, two chemical messengers (“neurotransmitters”) in the brain that help control movement. Too little dopamine leads to problems with gross and fine motor coordination. It is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, in conjunction with increasing age. More recently an immunological cause has been under investigation. Below we examine the possibility of a connection between Parkinson’s and autoimmune disease. What are the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease? The three most prominent and well-known Parkinson’s symptoms all involve movement dysfunction resulting from damage to certain motor fibers and centers within the brain. Of the three, tremor, or involuntary shaking, is probably the one most people recognize and associate with Parkinson’s. A classic example in Parkinson’s is a “pill-rolling” tremor, featuring back and forth rubbing movements of the thumb and forefinger (as if rolling a pill between the two)."

"text": "Corticobasal Syndrome Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) belongs to the category of FTD disorders that primarily affect movement. Some symptoms of both CBS and progressive supranuclear palsy, another FTD disorder associated with a decline in motor function, resemble those often seen in people with Parkinson’s disease. ( These features are sometimes referred to as “atypical Parkinsonism. ”)Movement deficits in CBS often begin on one side of the body, but eventually both sides are affected. In addition to motor symptoms, people with CBS may exhibit changes in behavior and language skills common to bv FTD and PPA, particularly as the disease progresses. Like all FTD disorders, CBS is associated with degeneration of the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes. In addition, several regions deeper in the brain that play important roles in initiating, controlling and coordinating movement are also affected. The term corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is applied to cases which have a particular type of tauopathy at autopsy (detailed below). Some cases of CBS prove to have Alzheimer’s pathology instead. Know the Signs… Know the Symptoms Signs and symptoms of CBS include: Limb Apraxia Inability to compel a hand, arm or leg to carry out a desired motion although the muscle strength needed to complete the action is maintained Difficulty completing familiar purposeful activity, such as opening a door, operating the television remote, or using kitchen tools Tripping or falling Akinesia/bradykinesia Absence (akinesia) or abnormally slow (bradykinesia) movement."

People with Parkinson's disease also experience stiffness and find they cannot carry out movements as rapidly as before - this is called bradykinesia. The muscles of a person with Parkinson's become weaker and the individual may assume an unusual posture. Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders.

The majority of people develop Parkinson's disease after age 60 (although a few patients like Michael J. Fox develop it at an early age of about 30 and boxer Muhammad Ali at age 42). Men are about 1.5 times more likely to develop it than women. In general, the disease slowly progresses with more pronounced symptoms developing over many years. Although a few patients, especially those who develop it in their younger years may have more rapid symptom development, symptoms slowly increase over many years. Treatments may reduce symptoms in many patients.

The motor system can be divided into (1) the peripheral apparatus, which consists of the anterior horn cell and its peripheral axon, the neuromuscular junction, and muscle, and (2) the more complex central apparatus, which includes the descending tracts involved in control (i.e., the pyramidal system) and the systems involved in initiating and regulating movement (the basal ganglia and cerebellum). Dysfunction in individual components of the motor system results in fairly specific abnormalities that can be evaluated at the bedside. Although multiple components may be involved (particularly with diseases of the central nervous system) isolated involvement of the various components commonly occurs. We will consider these components in order to help you establish an orderly approach to motor system evaluation (Table 10-1 ). Examination for motor dysfunction includes assessment of strength, muscle tone, muscle bulk, coordination, abnormal movements and various reflexes. Many of these are best detected through simple (but careful) observation. However, a few maneuvers aid in the detection of abnormality. Table 10-2 lists the components of a comprehensive and efficient screening examination that will elicit and localize most motor system dysfunctions. If no abnormalities are found, this exam should only take two to three minutes in a cooperative patient."

When a person has Bradykinesia they usually have a decrease in mobility and slow motion of all muscle movements. It is often confused with the medical condition/term called Hypokinesia, which means that a person has decreased bodily movement. Basically when a person has Bradykinesia it has to do with the speed of the movement and Hypokinesia is having trouble initiating the movement. It is possible for a person to have both of these conditions/symptoms. When a person has Bradykinesia it comes on suddenly and is usually very stressful for that person because it is the beginning of a loss of their individual independence. In the United States there are approximately one million people who have some level of Bradykinesia and for many of them it does not become a serious condition. Bradykinesia Symptoms The main symptom is slow movement, as this is what the terminology means. When a person has this symptom they may have a hard time to in completing the movement once the attempt has been initiated because of the impact on the function of their basal ganglia, which is the part of the brain that is responsible for motor learning and control."

Synonymous with the historical term's ‘psychic akinesia,’ it is a highly sensitive although nonspecific indicator of cerebral dysfunction. Operational definitions depend on the measure used and include impairments in processing speed, information processing speed, complex attention, mental speed, reaction time, and inspection time. Clinically the patient or caregiver endorses the patient’s decreased productivity on timed tasks or the need to take longer time periods to complete mental process. Clinicians may observe increased response latency. Processing speed is a multifactorial construct, comprising speed of perception, processing, and response, the exact definition and objective measurement of which are challenging."

A broader definition also encompasses the inability to move (so-called ‘akinesia’), where internally generated movements are no longer automatic, but increasingly require attention and concentration. Movement is particularly impaired when novel movements are attempted (Connor and Abbs 1991), or when several movements are combined (Benecke et al. 1986; Lazarus and Stelmach 1992). The exact mechanisms causing bradykinesia are unknown. However, it is known that bradykinesia results (in some way) from the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain, the pathological hallmark of PD. Anatomy Brain pathways involved in motor functions The circuit involved in voluntary movement initiation and execution originates in the motor areas of the frontal cortex. These areas project to motor portions of the basal ganglia, specifically to the striatum and the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Other basal ganglia structures, including the globus pallidus external (GPe) and internal (GPi) segments, and the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), are connected to these input structures of the basal ganglia."

I just started to drink a cup of coffee.. got 2 tests tomorrow, and all of a sudden I had a case of brain fog hit me. Anyone think there is a correlation between brain fog and caffeine? I saw someone make a post about it in another forum, relating to liver issues and the caffeine affecting the liver? Just thought I would post this to see if it happened to anyone else._________________ those who say it can not be done should not interrupt the people doing it Topbostonusa2009Post subject: Re: Caffeine and Brain fog Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 2:29 am Joined: Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:20 am Posts: 1065Personally I don't think so.

"text": "Brain Fog: Overview Posted by Team Jigsaw on April 06, 2015If you’ve ever been in a mental fog, then you know what it feels like: you can’t find your keys in the morning, you space out in the afternoon, or you lose your focus on the job. You often feel like you’re in a daze or you’re frequently “spacing out. ”Brain fog sufferers report that they just don’t feel quite right; that they’re not able to think as clearly as they used to. Brain fog can feel episodic; sometimes you are as sharp as a tack, while at other times, you feel like you forgot to take your brain with you when you left the house. Other common complaints include loss of spatial awareness (a feeling that you’re not present), lack of attention to detail or attention deficit, an absence of focus or a lack of clarity. You’re not alone. Brain fog is a very common complaint, although it is not a recognized diagnosed illness within the realm of conventional medicine. It’s hard to put a number on how many people are truly suffering from reduced mental functioning due to brain fog. Many brain fog sufferers blame their mental decline on the stress of daily living or “the signs of aging,”and they fail to seek treatment. However, old and young alike can experience dramatic improvements in their mental acuity by addressing the many underlying causes of brain fog, such as nutritional deficiencies, neurotoxicity, chronic infections, and chronic disease."

Some causes may be food reactions, nutritional deficits, hypoglycemia, candida or mineral toxicity. Brain fog describes the experience of feeling like a cloud limits visibility or mental clarity. People can become forgetful and feel detached, discouraged or depressed. Brain fog is common and affects adults and children. This condition may contribute to problems in employment and at school, unhappy relationships, low self-esteem, frustration and difficulty functioning successfully in society.

There are a lot of astigmatism symptoms. But the signs and symptoms of astigmatism are not always clear-cut. Some people perceive symptoms of other eye conditions and think it's astigmatism... In other cases, patients think they suffer from double vision or blurry vision, but it's in fact astigmatism in the eye. So what symptoms can astigmatism cause and what does it cause is often wildly different. To understand that, let's have a look how astigmatism affects your vision. When you have astigmatism of the eye, you have a refractive error. Meaning that the light that falls into your pupil does not bend into the eye as it is supposed to. So itdoesn't fall onto the light receptor on your retina correctly."

Now my whole neck aches and the the dull ache at the top of my spine / base of my skull and head intensified slightly. i use to enjoy intellectual conversation but now find it somewhat difficult because of frequent brain ****s, memory gaps and I feel mentally slow. I constantly have to wrestle with a shortened attention span and a spaced out feeling with passive meditation. I also feel like everything in my head registers things much more slowly... verbally and visually.

The brain is a sensitive organ affected by many factors both in the environment and in the body. Brain fog causes are numerous, but the term brain fog is not a recognized health condition listed in most medical or psychological textbooks. Still, many issues have brain fog attached to them, so it makes it hard to dismiss the condition out of hand as something that’s “all in your head. ”Morning brain fog is something often joked about because many people feel groggy when they wake and may take hours to get revved up for the day, often with the help of a caffeinated beverage. However, there could be underlying reasons for the fog beyond staying up too late and not getting enough good quality rest—two factors that without a doubt contribute to brain fog. What Causes Brain Fog? The list of brain fog causes is quite extensive and involves food, health issues, and lifestyle. The best way to describe brain fog is that you can’t think clearly."

"text": "\"Brain Mapping The Drake Institute has been utilizing q EEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram) Brain Mapping for 23 years as an important diagnostic test in evaluating patients with ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Learning Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. As a medical clinic, the Drake Institute developed one of the largest clinical databases utilizing q EEG brain mapping for neurofeedback in the United States. In essence, the q EEG brain mapping process provides a \"\"noninvasive window into brain functioning\"\" to let clinicians identify the source of symptoms or dysregulation in the brain. At the Drake Institute, our clinicians use this information to establish maximally effective neurofeedback treatment protocols for helping our patients improve their quality of life without having to rely on the use of drugs. QEEG brain mapping is analogous to a physician doing a bacterial culture on a patient with an infection to determine which antibiotic would best treat that infection. In addition, the brain map tells us if the symptoms are neurologically based or linked. When symptoms are neurologically linked, then there is a high probability of treatment success using neurofeedback and the Drake Institute's comprehensive Full Care program. How Does Brain Mapping Work?19 sensors are placed on the surface of the head and brain wave activity is recorded over those 19 areas. Brain mapping is noninvasive (unlike a SPECT scan or PET scan) and painless. Much like a thermometer, which only records your temperature but does not affect your temperature, the brain map only records the electrical activity of the brain for analysis; it does not actually do anything to the brain itself."

"text": "QUANTUM THEORY IN NLPThe following article is written by John Overdurf, CAC & Julie Silverthorn, MSWhat originally inspired us when we began studying NLP years ago is summed up in one word: possibility. As therapists (and coaches), we soon realized that the beliefs and patterns of NLP provided us with an incredible range of choices. We actually remember stopping in sessions because we had too many patterns from which to choose! NLP rapidly assisted us in realizing that it was no longer a question of whether we and the client could get the job done; the only question was what would create the richest experience for the client. Prior to studying Erickson’s work and NLP, our experience was very different. Then the only times we stopped in a session was when we didn’t know what to do! Suffice it to say NLP has had a profoundly positive effect on our personal and professional lives. Having been in NLP for quite some time now we discovered, as John Grinder and Richard Bandler had promised, that when we became facile with the “technology” we would find it’s limits and those would point to future possibilities. We found this to be true. In the past, one of the “raps” against NLP was that it was too mechanistic."

It measures the haemodynamic response related to neural activity in the brain or spinal cord of humans or other animals. It is one of the most recently developed forms of neuroimaging. Since the early 1990s, f MRI has come to dominate the brain mapping field due to its low invasiveness, lack of radiation exposure, and relatively wide availability.f MRI statistics (yellow) overlaid on an average of the brain anatomies of several humans (gray)Contents [ show]Background Edit Since the 1890s (Roy and Sherrington, 1890) [1] it has been known that changes in blood flow and blood oxygenation in the brain (collectively known as hemodynamics) are closely linked to neural activity. When nerve cells are active they consume oxygen carried by hemoglobin in red blood cells from local capillaries. The local response to this oxygen utilization is an increase in blood flow to regions of increased neural activity, occurring after a delay of approximately 1-5 seconds. This hemodynamic response rises to a peak over 4-5 seconds, before falling back to baseline (and typically undershooting slightly). This leads to local changes in the relative concentration of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin and changes in local cerebral blood volume in addition to this change in local cerebral blood flow. Blood-oxygen-level dependent or BOLD f MRI is a method of observing which areas of the brain are active at any given time. It was first found by Dr. Seiji Ogawa [2] in 1990 and following by Dr. Kenneth Kwong in 1992. ["

"text": "What is f MRI? Imaging Brain Activity Courtesy of Dr. David Shin, UC San Diego In your brain the activity of the neurons constantly fluctuates as you engage in different activities, from simple tasks like controlling your hand to reach out and pick up a cup of coffee to complex cognitive activities like understanding language in a conversation. The brain also has many specialized parts, so that activities involving vision, hearing, touch, language, memory, etc. have different patterns of activity. Even when you rest quietly with your eyes closed the brain is still highly active, and the patterns of activity in this resting state are thought to reveal particular networks of areas that often act together. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (f MRI) is a technique for measuring and mapping brain activity that is noninvasive and safe. It is being used in many studies to better understand how the healthy brain works, and in a growing number of studies it is being applied to understand how that normal function is disrupted in disease. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)Courtesy of Dr. Richard Buxton, UC San Diego MRI has become a standard tool for Radiology because it provides high resolution images with good contrast between different tissues. It works by exploiting the fact that the nucleus of a hydrogen atom behaves like a small magnet. Using the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), the hydrogen nuclei can be manipulated so that they generate a signal that can be mapped and turned into an image."

Date: May 8, 2008Source: Cell Press Summary: One of the major scientific questions about the brain is how it can translate the simple intent to perform an action -- say, reach for a glass -- into the dynamic, coordinated symphony of muscle movements required for that action. Share: FULL STORYOne of the major scientific questions about the brain is how it can translate the simple intent to perform an action--say, reach for a glass--into the dynamic, coordinated symphony of muscle movements required for that action. The neural instructions for such actions originate in the brain's primary motor cortex, and the puzzle has been whether the neurons in this region encode the details of individual muscle activities or the high-level commands that govern kinetics--the direction and velocity of desired movements. Now, Robert Ajemian and his colleagues, analyzing muscle function in monkeys, have created a mathematical model that captures the control characteristics of the motor cortex. It enabled the researchers to better sort out the \"\"muscles-or-movement\"\" question. The researchers described their model in an article in the May 8, 2008, issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press. Researchers have been thwarted in their efforts to measure and model the neural control of complex motions because muscle forces and positions constantly change during such motions. Also, the position sensors, called proprioceptors, in joints and muscles feed back constantly changing signals to the neurons of the motor cortex. Ajemian and colleagues overcame these complexities by simplifying the experimental design."

MD; Gurevich, Boris MD; Merkind, Vladimir MD; Katchko, Ludmyla MD; Reichenthal, Eli MDAnesthesia & Analgesia: June 1998 - Volume 86 - Issue 6 - p 1225-1229doi: 10.1213/00000539-199806000-00017Neurosurgical Anesthesia Abstract Author Information Article Outline In this study, we examined the effect of four IV fluids (250 m L/kg) on blood glucose and osmolality and brain tissue specific gravity after closed head trauma (CHT) in rats. CHT was delivered at Time 0; blood was sampled at 60 min; fluid infusion began at 75 min and ended at 105 min. Blood was again sampled at 105 and 120 min, and brain tissue specific gravity was determined at 120 min. Five groups (one control and four fluid-treated groups) received CHT, and five other groups (one control and four fluid-treated) did not (n = 9 in each group). 0.45% saline (1/2 NS) and 5% dextrose in water (D5W) accentuated the decrease of brain tissue specific gravity (1.0366 +/- 0.0025 and 1.0368 +/- 0.0028, respectively; mean +/- SD) caused by CHT (1.0395 +/- 0.0036), but 5% dextrose in 0.9% saline (D5NS) and 0.9% saline (NS) did not (1.0431 +/- 0.0042 and 1.0389 +/- 0.0049, respectively). In addition, 1/2 NS decreased blood osmolality (248 +/- 6 m Osm/L), D5W increased blood glucose (1095 +/- 173 mg/d L), D5NS increased blood osmolality (350 +/- 5 m Osm/L) and glucose (1695 +/- 76 mg/d L), and NS caused no significant change. We conclude that administering hypoosmolar IV fluids after CHT causes a significant worsening of cerebral edema 2 h after CHT. Implications: We previously reported worse neurological outcome and/or mortality after closed head trauma in rats when 5% dextrose in water or 0.45% saline was given IV compared with 0.9% saline or 5% dextrose in 0.9% saline. The present results and our previous findings indicate that worsening of outcome after closed head trauma in rats may be caused more by edema formation than by hyperglycemia.

Purpose The EEG, also known as a brain wave test, is a key tool in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy and other seizure disorders. It is also used to assist in the diagnosis of brain damage and diseases such as strokes, tumors, encephalitis, mental retardation, and sleep disorders. The results of the test can distinguish psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, paranoia, and depression from degenerative mental disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. An EEG may also be used to monitor brain activity during surgery to assess the effects of anesthesia. It is also used to determine brain status and brain death. Demographics The number of EEG tests performed each year can only be estimated. It is not a reportable event and is used in the diagnostic workup for a number of disorders. The number of EEG tests per year is estimated to be in the range of 10–25 million. Description Before an EEG begins, a nurse or technologist attaches approximately 16–21 electrodes to a person's scalp The electrodes taped to this boy's scalp monitor his brain activity (brain waves) by detecting the electric impulses generated by the brain's activity.

We can probably all remember the impact a touch has had on us, whether casually or in a therapeutic setting. As practitioners, we have daily experiences of the effects of touch on our clients. Current research in neuroscience is looking directly at the brain’s response to touch. Lucy Brown, a neuroscientist interested in studying alternative therapies, presented recent findings at a talk at Harvard Medical School. What follows is primarily my summary of her talk with a few comments from the point of view of a practitioner. Functional MRI Current research tracks the impact of touch on the brain with functional MRI (f MRI). FMRI can detect activity in different brain areas by measuring the increase in blood flow that is correlated with an increase in neuronal activity. While this research is still in its infancy, it holds some promise for elucidating what we intuit from our experience as practitioners and recipients of therapies based on touch. The studies are part of a new trend: to look for integration of response rather than investigating each part/function separately."

Specifically, it deals with how the brain processes multiple sensory modality inputs, [1] [2] such as proprioception, vision, auditory system, tactile, olfactory, vestibular system, interoception, and taste into usable functional outputs. It has been believed for some time that inputs from different sensory organs are processed in different areas in the brain. The communication within and among these specialized areas of the brain is known as functional integration. [ 3] [4] [5] Newer research has shown that these different regions of the brain may not be solely responsible for only one sensory modality, but could use multiple inputs to perceive what the body senses about its environment. Multisensory integration is necessary for almost every activity that we perform because the combination of multiple sensory inputs is essential for us to comprehend our surroundings.

"text": "» Home » Medicine »Brain Plasticity: What Is it and What Does it Mean? By Christopher Jacoby | Medicine | Rating: Brain plasticity is a relatively new discovery in brain science that has amazing implications on the way we think and on the way our brain works. Essentially, brain plasticity refers to the fact that the brain appears to be 'plastic' in that it is adaptable and can change shape in order to deal with a new scenario. Our brain in this sense is much like a muscle in that it can reshape itself as a response to stress or strain. In other words – the more you use an area of your brain the more it will increase in size and computational power, and the more you leave it without using it at all, the more it will 'wither' and will disappear. The brain can be trained and theoretically it could be drastically different in it appearance and the way it works to the way that we classically tend to use it. The most famous example of brain plasticity is seen in blind people. Here their occipital lobe – the part of the brain that deals with sight also known a 'visual area 1' – will deteriorate and those neurons will die or migrate to other areas. This 'frees up' some processing power in the brain, and some of those neurons will move over to the hearing areas of the brain. As blind people will also focus more on sound in order to compensate for their lack of vision, this will also cause the brain area to further develop."

In adults, discriminative sensory functions of the hand do not usually recover despite use of microsurgical repair techniques. A major reason for the imperfect outcome is the pronounced functional cortical reorganizations that occur after nerve injury, leading to a change of the normal hand representation into a disbursed pattern. A relearning process is required. Evolving principles for sensory relearning are based on the multimodal plasticity of the brain and rapid and long-term synaptic changes induced by extrinsic influence. Author Keywords Brain plasticity; Cortical plasticity; Cortical remodeling; Hand sensation; Nerve injury;Nerve regeneration; Nerve repair; Sense of touch; Sensory re-education; Tactile gnosis;Two-point discrimination Introduction Peripheral nerve injuries still represent some of the most challenging and difficult surgical reconstructive problems. Although evolving scientific concepts during the past decades have resulted in an enormous amount of new laboratory data, this has had little impact on the treatment of such injuries. The majority of nerve injuries occurs in the upper extremity of young males, varying in severity and level from clear-cut nerve transection to severe nerve lacerations and from digital nerve injuries to brachial plexus lesions. A simple transection of a median nerve at wrist level may have disastrous consequences for hand and upper extremity function. The probability of work loss is very high and there is a substantial economic impact on the patient as well as society."

While certain things, especially language, are more easily learned by children than adults, we have plenty of evidence that even older adults can see real transformations in their neurocircuitry.

I mean, every cell in our body has the same genome, so the differences in type (various neurons, glial cells) must be due to expression during development. And the differences between individual members of a class must be all due to local environment and growth – right? Maybe not. I wasn’t aware of this myself, but there’s a growing body of evidence that suggests that neurons might actually differ more at the genomic level than you’d imagine.

As that sugar starts to move its way through your body, it eventually makes its way to your brain. You brain is happy with this shot of sugar you just gave it, because, while it only makes up only two percent of the body weight, your brain uses one-half of all the sugar energy in the body. 1But, is there such a thing as too much sugar for your brain? And that soda you just drank will cause your blood sugar to skyrocket and eventually drop; what happens to your brain then? And what about other sugar-brain questions: doesn’t sugar make you or your kids hyperactive, and doesn’t sugar change your mood? The short answer to these all these questions is: we don’t know . Scientific studies on the effects of sugar on the brain are sparse at best and most medical professionals and organizations will say that sugar has nothing to do with mood or hyperactivity. If you are surprised by that stance, you are not alone."

"text": "\"What is Brain Plasticity? Brain plasticity— also called neuroplasticity - is an odd term for most people, with the word \"\"plastic\"\" causing images of Tupperware or Saran Wrap to pop into your head. However, brain plasticity is a common term used by neuroscientists, referring to the brain's ability to change at any age – for better or worse. As you would imagine, this flexibility plays an incredibly important role in our brain development (or decline) and in shaping our distinct personalities. The science of neuroplasticity and the brain is the basis of our clinically proven brain training exercises. How the Brain Changes Brain plasticity science is the study of a physical process. Gray matter can actually shrink or thicken; neural connections can be forged and refined or weakened and severed. Changes in the physical brain manifest as changes in our abilities. For example, each time we learn a new dance step, it reflects a change in our physical brains: new \"\"wires\"\" (neural pathways) that give instructions to our bodies on how to perform the step. Each time we forget someone's name, it also reflects brain change— \"\"wires\"\"that once connected to the memory have been degraded, or even severed."

But what does it mean to parents? John Hoffman worked with Stuart Shanker, co-author of Early Years Study 2 * and York University professor of psychology and philosophy, to dig out the research that can help parents understand their vital role in supporting early brain development.1. Nurture influences nature We’ve heard about the nature versus nurture debate. What determines how a child turns out—the genes she was born with or the influence of her family, school and community? Savvy people (and sensible parents) have been saying that both nature and nurture are important. Now studies from the new field of epigenetics show that environment and experience, including nurturing early in life, can actually influence the way genes work. This is true of animals as well as humans. Mother rats lick their pups repeatedly in the first few hours of life."

Answered Apr 4, 2015 · Author has 545 answers and 969.5k answer views The brain is incredibly plastic, changing every moment of every day. An important component of plasticity is the ability of dendrites to grow longer, or add more spines to their surface. Also important is their ability to retract and lower the size/amount of spines on their surface. Dendrite morphology Because of the wide variety of neurons in the human brain, the pattern of growth will vary between the different types. A pyramidal cell in the cerebral cortex will have different arborization (branching) patterns than a cerebellar purkinje cell. ( Image taken from Psychopharmacology: Drugs, The Brain and Behaviour, 2005) As you can see, the pattern of dendritic arborization is far more dense in a purkinje cell. Because neurons have different morphology, the pattern of dendritic growth is different for every type of neuron. Factors resulting in growth or retraction Dendrites will grow on their own even if they are isolated from other neurons [2]. This suggests that neurons are genetically predisposed to grow even without environmental input. However, the environment around a neuron greatly influences its dendrite growth."

( May 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity and neural plasticity, is the ability of the brain to change throughout an individual's life, e.g., brain activity associated with a given function can be transferred to a different location, the proportion of grey matter can change, and synapses may strengthen or weaken over time. Research in the latter half of the 20th century showed that many aspects of the brain can be altered (or are \"\"plastic\"\") even through adulthood. [ 1] [2] [3] This notion is in contrast with the previous scientific consensus that the brain develops during a critical period in early childhood and then remains relatively unchanged (or \"\"static\"\"). [ 4]Neuroplasticity can be observed at multiple scales, from microscopic changes in individual neurons to larger-scale changes such as cortical remapping in response to injury. [ 5] Behavior, environmental stimuli, thought, and emotions may also cause neuroplastic change through activity-dependent plasticity, which has significant implications for healthy development, learning, memory, and recovery from brain damage.

ACEs science refers to the research on the prevalence and consequences of adverse childhood experiences, and what to do to prevent them. It comprises: The CDC-Kaiser Permanente ACE Study and subsequent surveys that show that most people in the U. S. have at least one ACE, and that people with four ACEs— including living with an alcoholic parent, racism, bullying, witnessing violence outside the home, physical abuse, and losing a parent to divorce — have a huge risk of adult onset of chronic health problems such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, suicide, and alcoholism. Brain science (neurobiology of toxic stress) — how toxic stress caused by ACEs damages the function and structure of kids’ developing brains. Health consequences — how toxic stress caused by ACEs affects short- and long-term health, and can impact every part of the body, leading to autoimmune diseases, such as arthritis, as well as heart disease, breast cancer, lung cancer, etc. Historical and generational trauma (epigenetic consequences of toxic stress) — how toxic stress caused by ACEs can alter how our DNA functions, and how that can be passed on from generation to generation. Resilience research and practice — Building on the knowledge that the brain is plastic and the body wants to heal, this part of ACEs science includes evidence-based practice, as well as practice-based evidence by people, organizations and communities that are integrating trauma-informed and resilience-building practices. This ranges from looking at how the brain of a teen with a high ACE score can be healed with cognitive behavior therapy, to how schools can integrate trauma-informed and resilience-building practices that result in an increase in students’ scores, test grades and graduation rates. What are ACEs? ACEs are adverse childhood experiences that harm children’s developing brains and lead to changing how they respond to stress and damaging their immune systems so profoundly that the effects show up decades later."

Anatomical organization The amygdala was first recognized as a distinct brain region in the early 19th century. The name, derived from the Greek, was meant to denote an almond-like shape structure in the medial temporal lobe. Like most brain regions, the amygdala is not a single mass but is composed of distinct subareas or nuclei ( Figure 1 ). The almond shaped area that gives the amygdala its name was really only one of these nuclei, the basal nucleus, rather than the whole structure.

Specialists in the rehabilitation of people with Acquired Brain Injury may not have much training or knowledge in neuron biology or brain function. Likewise, researchers in those areas may have little or no experience of working with people who are survivors of head injury. Psychologists may be very knowledgeable in the areas of cognitive functioning, but have less experience in biology or social rehabilitation.

This is understandable: independent selection of a trait requires that it be both heritable and largely decoupled from other ‘nearby’ traits. Cognitive capacities realized as innate modules would certainly satisfy these contraints. A viable evolutionary cognitive psychology, however, requires neither extreme nativism nor modularity, though it is consistent with both. In this paper, we seek to show that rather weak assumptions about innateness and modularity are consistent with evolutionary explanations of cognitive capacities. Evolutionary pressures can affect the degree to which the development of a capacity is canalized by biasing acquisition/learning in ways that favor development of concepts and capacities that proved adaptive to an organism's ancestors. Previous article Next article Keywords Evolutionary psychology Cognition Development Plasticity Modules Innate1. Introduction Evolutionary explanations of cognitive phenomena are often thought to imply that the cognitive capacities targeted for evolutionary explanation are innate and modular. We argue that neither of these implications is necessitated by evolutionary explanations of particular cognitive effects. Instead, we argue that issues of innateness should be conceived in terms of canalization, i.e the degree to which the development of a trait is robust across normal environmental variations ( Ariew, 1996; Mc Kenzie & O'Farrell, 1993; Waddington, 1975 )."

"text": "What Are the Causes of Brain Atrophy?by ROSE HANEY Sept. 17, 2011Brain atrophy is shrinking of the brain caused by the loss of its cells, called neurons. Two types of brain atrophy can occur; generalized and focal. Generalized atrophy refers to neuron loss throughout the entire brain, and focal atrophy refers to neuron loss in a specific brain region. Symptoms of significant brain atrophy include progressive cognitive impairment involving multiple cognitive functions, otherwise known as dementia, seizures and aphasia, which is the disruption in the understanding or production of language or both. In some cases, brain atrophy can be normal and expected and is sometimes preventable. However, other causes are associated with disease progression or brain injury. Knowing the causes can empower people to do what they can to keep a healthy brain for as long as possible. Normal Aging Normal aging causes atrophy of the brain. The aging brain shrinks by an average of 1.9 percent every 10 years. It begins in young adulthood, but becomes more prominent when individuals reach their sixties."

"text": "CELLS THAT ARE HERE TO STAYHow fat cells work and why it’s impossible to “burn” them off Katherine Ellen Foley April 08, 2016Feel the burn? ( Photo by Todd Williamson/Invision for Zobha/AP)When we think about our weight it’s often tied to how much fat we have in our bodies. But in early 2016, scientists debunked body-mass index (BMI), a calculation of someone’s percentage of body fat based on their height and weight, as a measure (paywall) of overall health. The authors argued that having a high BMI didn’t necessarily mean that patients faced the same health risks that obesity can lead to; conversely, having a low BMI didn’t mean that patients were healthier. We all need some fat. It’s an important component of cell membranes, a place to store energy and some vitamins, and it’s used to make different hormones we need to transmit messages throughout the body. Yet higher percentages of body fat above 25% for men and 30% for women can be a health hazard.

We understand so much more than 70 years ago, or even 10 years ago. Although many pieces of the puzzle of depression are still missing, a picture has emerged that explains all the way from stress to brain changes in depression, molecule by molecule. Depression is not a moral weakness. Some people are more susceptible than others even before they are born. T his story provides the genetic and molecular proof. You have to cope with whatever genes and childhood you inherited, but it’s not a “level playing field”. Some people start the race ahead of others, some way behind (ouch). Everybody knows: stress causes depression: the more stressful life events you have, the more likely you are to become depressed. But how does that work?"

"text": "\"The Words Shrink and Client-- Updated October 7, 2007 --What About the Word \"\"Shrink\"\"? Originally, the word \"\"shrink\"\" referred primarily to psychiatrists, but over the last 20 years its meaning has broadened and now it can be used with respect to just about any professional who does counseling or psychotherapy. \"\" Shrink\"\" likely originated from a commingling of the two words \"\"head shrink\"\" and the single word \"\"headshrinker,\"\" indicating that it likely originated as a disparaging reference comparing the process of psychotherapy to primitive tribal practices of shrinking the heads of enemies. Reportedly, \"\"shrink\"\" was first used in literature by Thomas Pynchon in his book The Crying of Lot 49 published in 1966. It figures that \"\"shrink\"\" had its literary birth out of the consciousness-expanding atmosphere of the 1960s. \"\" Shrink\"\" has paradoxical meanings and uses and, by all analytical standards, has classic potential for connoting ambivalence (a favorite shrink word!). \"\" Shrink\"\" allows us to compare psychotherapy to primitive rituals, shamanism, and \"\"sorcery\"\" while still recognizing the more modern and scientific principles of mental wellness. \"\" Shrink\"\" attempts to create a balance between respect and irreverence, between affection and distancing -- can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. To me, that is the essence of a good word -- one that has many flavors. What sweet and sour are for taste buds, paradoxes are for the mind."

"text": "Does Your Stomach Shrink When You Lose Weight? The answer may surprise you By Holly Klamer, RD Leave a Comment Researched Based Article The average human stomach is about the size of your fist when it’s empty. When you eat, the stomach can expand to hold about 4 cups of food. The stomach serves as a holding tank for food as the walls of the stomach mechanically churn the food and release hydrochloric acid. The food is then released into the small intestine for absorption. The stomach size can expand or shrink depending on how much food someone eats, but binge eating can affect this more than body size. What is more impactful is the change in how someone regulates feeling full or hungry. Your stomach may appear to shrink, but what should shrink the most with weight loss is the visceral fat layer around your midsection which is the deep layer of fat around your organs. Dramatic diet change can have an affect on stomach size One study found that after a very low calorie diet of about 600 calories per day for 4 weeks obese subjects had a reduced stomach capacity between 27-36%. This suggests dramatically altering your food intake could influence the actual size of the stomach, but there is some individual variability with this."

"text": "\"The hippocampus, so named because its shape vaguely resembles that of a seahorse, is responsible for encoding long-term memories and helping with spatial navigation. It's one of the phylogenetically oldest parts of the brain, and the first part chosen to be artificially replicated as a brain prosthesis. The hippocampus is known to be associated with the consolidation of episodic memories, which are memories of personally experienced events and their associated emotions. In contrast to semantic memories of abstract facts and their associations, episodic memories can be represented as stories. Damage to the hippocampus results in an inability to form new long-term episodic memories, though new procedural memories, such as motor sequences for everyday tasks, may still be learned. In schizophrenia and certain types of severe depression, the hippocampus shrinks. The hippocampus is also known as one of the most highly structured and studied parts of the brain, which is why it was chosen for prosthetic emulation. Although the exact neural algorithms are not known, they have been modeled in their entirety. Because the hippocampus is so old, it has been optimized extensively by evolution and is basically the same across all mammal species. This is why it was possible to design a hippocampal prosthesis through the exhaustive study of rat hippocampi suspended in cerebrospinal fluid."

"text": "Overview Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) uses many precisely focused radiation beams to treat tumors and other problems in the brain, neck and other parts of the body. It is not surgery in the traditional sense because there's no incision. Instead, SRS uses 3-D imaging to target high doses of radiation to the affected area with minimal impact on the surrounding healthy tissue. Like other forms of radiation, stereotactic radiosurgery works by damaging the DNA of the targeted cells. The affected cells then lose the ability to reproduce, which causes tumors to shrink. Stereotactic radiosurgery of the brain and spine is typically completed in a single session. Body radiosurgery is used to treat lung, liver, adrenal and other soft tissue tumors, and treatment typically involves multiple sessions. When doctors use stereotactic radiosurgery to treat tumors in areas of the body other than the brain, it's sometimes called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SRBT) or stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). Types of stereotactic radiosurgery Gamma Knife targeting Doctors use three types of technology to deliver radiation during stereotactic radiosurgery. Linear accelerator (LINAC) machines use X-rays (photons) to treat cancerous and noncancerous abnormalities in the brain and other parts of the body."

Problems with Psychiatric Diagnosis When one sits down with consumer groups, families, or patient advocates one of the most common complaints that we hear voiced today is that \"\"every time someone sees a new psychiatrist they get a new diagnosis.\"\" It is easy to see why this could be a bit disconcerting. Imagine going in to see your Family Practitioner and being told \"\"it turns out that you don't have diabetes after all - you have multiple sclerosis. \"\" As strange as that scenario sounds, it's not an uncommon one for psychiatric patients. Many patients carry each of the diagnoses of Schizophrenia, Major Depression, Bipolar illness, and Schizoaffective Disorder at some points in their lives. A recent review of the case of a woman who had committed suicide found that her psychiatrist had diagnosed her with all of these disorders within the past year. It's a rare patient who carries the same psychiatric diagnosis throughout their lifetime. A shifting approach to diagnosis can hardly be expected to build confidence in one's psychiatrist. People, rightfully, expect that their Doctors will make a clear, reasoned diagnosis of their condition and that treatment will follow accordingly. Our field's inability to agree on what disorder an individual actually suffers from is held up by some as confirmation of their belief that psychiatry is just a bunch of pseudoscience at best or, at worst, a profit-driven business."

En español l Night owls, take note. That sleep deficit you've been accumulating has real and dangerous implications for your brain, and not just because it makes you sleepy during the day. Sleeping less than seven or eight hours a night has been linked to cognitive decline, memory loss and possibly even Alzheimer's, new research shows. P. Murali Doraiswamy, M. D., a brain researcher at Duke University in Durham, N. C., explains what your brain does during sleep. Clears out toxins Most people think that when you sleep, your brain goes to sleep, too. But it turns out that parts of your brain are several times more active at night than during the daytime. One of them is a newly discovered drainage system called the glymphatic system, which is kind of like your city's sewage and recycling system; its job is to clear out and recycle all your brain's toxins. One protein very actively recycled during sleep is involved in developing amyloid plaque, the hallmark of Alzheimer's."

"text": "Lack of sleep causes hippocampus to shrink26 January 2012A good night’s sleep is hard to come by in our current 24-hour society. However, a lack of sleep can have a very damaging effect on the brain. The Groningen neurobiologist Peter Meerlo and his colleague Arianna Novati have shown that the hippocampus, the part of the brain involved in learning, memory and emotions, even shrinks in rats with chronic sleep deprivation. Peter Meerlo and Arianna Novati investigated the brains of laboratory rats who were allowed only four hours of sleep a day, whereas the animals usually sleep for more than ten. In previous research, Meerlo already discovered that a week of too little sleep had serious consequences for a rat brain – the serotonin system, involved in stress and emotions, was disrupted and became much less sensitive to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Smaller hippocampus A month of sleep deprivation turned out to have an effect on the rat brain itself too. Meerlo and Novati discovered that changes then occur in the structure of the brain. Meerlo: ‘The hippocampus in rats who have had too little sleep for a month turn out to have become about ten percent smaller. This means that the hippocampus – that part of the brain involved in learning, memory and emotions – is very sensitive to disruption such as sleep deprivation. ’Depression A reduction in the size of the hippocampus could influence learning performance and mood."

"text": "\"Stereotactic Radiosurgery Overview Definition: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treats brain disorders with a precise delivery of a single, high dose of radiation in a one-day session. Focused radiation beams are delivered to a specific area of the brain to treat abnormalities, tumors or functional disorders. Body radiosurgery is rare. We are able in only a few Centers of Excellence to immobilize and treat the body in a radiosurgical fashion, using high-level special technology. Fractionated stereotactic radiation treatments-which are received over a period of days or weeks-may be administered to the body with the assistance of removable masks and frames that achieve a lesser degree of immobilization. Stereotactic radiosurgery is limited to the head and neck, because these areas can be immobilized with skeletal fixation devices that completely restrict the head's movement, permitting the most precise and accurate treatment. One-session treatment without a skeletal fixation device is not recommended because of the high potential for damage to healthy brain tissue, cranial nerves (optic, hearing, etc.) and the brain stem. Surgery: Radiosurgery (one-session treatment) has such a dramatic effect in the target zone that the changes are considered \"\"surgical.\"\" Through the use of three-dimensional computer-aided planning and the high degree of immobilization, the treatment can minimize the amount of radiation that passes through healthy brain tissue."

But with continued use, these people can find themselves addicted: They depend on the drug not simply to feel good but to feel normal. Using drugs is no longer a choice but a compulsion. These people don't plan to become addicts; it just happens. In a recent article, Alan Leshner, Ph D, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, calls this the \"\"oops phenomenon.\"\" It happens when occasional use of a drug turns into weekly use, then daily use, and then eventually into a surprising, distressing realization: \"\"I'm addicted. \"\"\"\" Every drug user starts out as an occasional user, and that initial use is a voluntary and controllable decision,\"\" Leshner writes. \"\" But as time passes and drug use continues, a person goes from being a voluntary to a compulsive drug user.

The prognosis of glioblastoma, which indicates how the disease will develop and an individual's expected survival time, can vary according to age, the tumor's size and position, the type of treatment received, and what is called the Karnofsky performance status, or KPS. A KPS score measures a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. Unfortunately, long-term survival of glioblastoma patients is rare and there is currently no cure. The average glioblastoma life expectancy is less than a year, with only around 2 percent of people living for longer than three years after diagnosis. A glioblastoma multiforme tumor can also be described as a grade four astrocytoma. An astrocytoma is a brain tumor formed from cells known as astrocytes, with grade four being the type which grows most rapidly. Since there is no cure, glioblastoma treatment aims to control symptoms and prolong life, using a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Symptoms may include headaches, nausea, seizures and personality changes. Operations to remove glioblastomas can be difficult, because the tumors tend to spread throughout the brain."

Poison oak is in the Toxicodendron genus of flowering plants, which also includes poison sumac and poison ivy. Western or Pacific poison oak, a bushy shrub or climbing vine, can be found all along the Pacific Coast, from southern Canada down to the Baja California peninsula. Poison oak grows from sea level to as high as 5,000 feet and can be characterized by its alternate leaves – emerging from the stem one at a time. The three- (or occasionally five-, seven- or nine-) shiny green leaflets produce a white-green blossom at the stem in spring, reveal round fruit in late summer, and turn a turn deep red hue in autumn. Atlantic or Eastern poison oak is native to the sandy soils of the eastern/southeastern United States and can be found as far west as Texas and Oklahoma. The low-growing shrub is distinguishable by its similarity in appearance to white oak leaves. The three green leaflets have an ever-so-slight hairy or fuzzy appearance (more obvious on the berries) and emerge from the stem in a cluster, turning yellow or orange in the fall.

Your doctor will also order imaging tests to determine the cause of your condition and diagnose your condition. Tests may include: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI is often used to diagnose Chiari malformation. An MRI uses powerful radio waves and magnets to create a detailed view of your body. This safe, painless test produces detailed 3-D images of structural abnormalities in your brain that may be contributing to your symptoms. It can also provide images of your cerebellum and determine whether it extends into your spinal canal. An MRI can be repeated over time, and it can be used to monitor the progression of your disorder. Computerized tomography (CT) scan. Your doctor may recommend other imaging techniques such as a CT scan."

Gliomas are slightly more likely to occur in men than in women, and more common in Caucasians than in African Americans. There are different grades of gliomas, indicating their growth potential and aggressiveness. This group of tumors includes glioblastomas. Glioblastoma symptoms may be similar to those of other gliomas. What is a glioma? Glioma is a common type of tumor originating in the brain. About 33 percent of all brain tumors are gliomas, which originate in the glial cells that surround and support neurons in the brain, including astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells. Gliomas are called intra-axial brain tumors because they grow within the substance of the brain and often mix with normal brain tissue. What are the different types of gliomas?"

QUICK FACTS: Chiari Malformation 1-Page Fact Sheet (PDF) (Updated 4/2016)What is Chiari? A Chiari malformation (CM) is a structural defect in the area of the brain responsible for controlling balance i.e., the cerebellum. Specifically, when a portion of the cerebellum, known as the cerebellar tonsils, is situated under the funnel shaped opening to the spinal canal (i.e. the foramen magnum), it is known as a Chiari malformation. The cerebellar tonsils can interfere with the movement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between the skull and spinal canal. The interference can result in the collection of cerebral spinal fluid in the subarachnoid spaces of the brain and spine. The resulting increase in pressure on the brain and spinal cord from the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid can lead to hydrocephalus which manifests in a wide range of symptoms. By contrast, for people without Chiari, the cerebellum is situated above the foramen magnum and within the base of the skull i.e. the posterior fossa. An abnormality in the shape or size of a part of the skull pushes the cerebellum down resulting in Chiari. The aberration in shape or size of the skull is related to exposure to hazardous substances, infection, illegal drug or alcohol use, genetic mutations or a maternal diet deficient in certain nutrients."

Parkinson disease (or, simply, Parkinson) is the most common form of Parkinsonism, a group of motor system disorders. It is a slowly progressing, degenerative disease caused by the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. Dopamine is a substance made in the body that helps with smooth and coordinated muscle movement. Parkinson is usually associated with these symptoms: Tremor or trembling of the arms, jaw, legs, and face Stiffness or rigidity of the limbs and trunk Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)Impaired balance and coordination What causes Parkinson disease? The cause of Parkinson is unknown. Medical experts believe the symptoms are related to a chemical imbalance in the brain caused by brain-cell death. Parkinson is chronic, and symptoms grow worse over time. Although the disease may appear in younger people (even teenagers), it usually affects people in late middle age."

Because it’s noninvasive, Gamma Knife surgery can even be used to treat metastases in surgically inaccessible areas of the brain, such as the brain stem. What Is a Brain Tumor? A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain. The tumor can either originate in the brain itself (primary brain tumor), or come from another part of the body and travel to the brain (metastatic or secondary tumor). Brain tumors may be classified as either benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous), depending on their behavior. A benign tumor does not contain cancer cells and usually, once removed, does not recur. Most benign brain tumors have clear borders, meaning they do not invade surrounding tissue. These tumors can, however, cause symptoms similar to cancerous tumors because of their size and location in the brain. Malignant brain tumors contain cancer cells."

Last reviewed Fri 20 October 2017By Zawn Villines Reviewed by Seunggu Han, MDA decompressive craniectomy is brain surgery that removes a portion of the skull. When the brain swells following an injury, the pressure in the brain can build inside the skull, causing further damage. The body's natural healing response to injury is to swell. Swelling in the brain, however, can be dangerous because the skull restricts the swelling and pushes on the brain. Removing a portion of the skull can reduce the risk of severe brain damage, and may even be life-saving. Contents of this article: Decompressive craniectomy procedure Why would you need one? Recovery Prognosis Risks and complications Takeaway Fast facts on decompressive craniectomy: Injury can cause dangerous pressure in the brain that increases blood pressure, slows blood flow, and damages the brain.

"text": "Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Procedure Overview What is Gamma Knife radiosurgery? Gamma Knife radiosurgery, also called stereotactic radiosurgery, is a very precise form of therapeutic radiology. Even though it is called surgery, a Gamma Knife procedure does not involve actual surgery, nor is the Gamma Knife really a knife at all. It uses beams of highly-focused gamma rays to treat small to medium size lesions, usually in the brain. Many beams of gamma radiation join to focus on the lesion under treatment, providing a very intense dose of radiation without a surgical incision or opening. Gamma Knife radiosurgery is called “surgery” because a result similar to an actual surgical procedure is created by a one-session radiation therapy treatment. The beams of radiation are very precisely focused to reach the tumor, lesion, or other area being treated with minimal effect on surrounding healthy tissue. Gamma Knife radiosurgery is most often used to treat tumors and other lesions in the brain. It is also used to treat certain neurological conditions, such as trigeminal neuralgia (a condition in which pressure on the trigeminal nerve causes spasms of extreme facial pain) and acoustic neuroma (a noncancerous tumor in the brain that affects the nerves that control hearing). Gamma Knife radiosurgery may be used in situations where the brain lesion cannot be reached by conventional surgical techniques."

Despite his treatment at highly regarded medical centers, Edward \"\"Ted\"\" Kennedy, who served as a Democratic senator from Massachusetts for nearly 47 years, died just over a year after his surgery. Kennedy suffered a seizure May 17, 2008, while walking his dogs at his home in Hyannis Port. Three days later, doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston said a brain biopsy revealed a tumor, known as a malignant glioma, in the left parietal lobe. Malignant gliomas are the second-most common cause of death from cancer for people 15 to 44 years old, according to a 2005 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The causes of glioma tumors are mysterious. Many patients do not have genetic risk factors, and any connections with lifestyle are not clear, said Dr. Larry Junck, head of the Neuro-Oncology Program at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The majority of people develop Parkinson's disease after age 60 (although a few patients like Michael J. Fox develop it at an early age of about 30 and boxer Muhammad Ali at age 42). Men are about 1.5 times more likely to develop it than women. In general, the disease slowly progresses with more pronounced symptoms developing over many years. Although a few patients, especially those who develop it in their younger years may have more rapid symptom development, symptoms slowly increase over many years.

The LA Bloods wear red, their rivals the Crips wear blue. The reasons are obvious: a colour code helps you identify who is on your side and who is not. The Lo-Lifes, however, have a brand: Ralph Lauren. Formed in Brooklyn in the late 80s in some of New York's harshest projects, the gang have been religiously collecting Ralph Lauren clothing and wearing it as a uniform ever since. The vibrant colours and bold designs favoured by the all-American designer during the 80s allowed these young men to clearly and visibly stand out from their peers. Such is the influence the Lo-Lifes had, they are cited as the primary reason why Ralph Lauren began to be championed in hip-hop culture.

"text": "\"Which Curly Hair-Cutting Method Is Right For You? Taylor Bryant Last Updated November 15, 2016, 11:30 AMPhotographed by Brayden Olson. Most people with curly hair have a hair-cutting horror story (or two, or three). Finding a salon that can both cut and style coils is like apartment-hunting in New York City: long, arduous, and with limited options. You see, cutting naturally spiraling locks is 40% art, 40% science, and 20% talent. It's not like taking scissors to a head of straight strands, when you can simply line up the edges and make sure everything's even — each curl has its own independent personality. Not all stylists have mastered this skill (ditto on taking care of curly hair in general ). But those who have attained it are developing their own unique methods. These are techniques learned through years of studying and working with countless natural and curly-adorned ladies and gents. The approaches vary: There's the group that cuts it wet, some who prefer dry-cutting, and others who swear by first blowing curly hair straight in order to get the desired results."

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

"text": "\"Preparing for Baby What Does Baby Name Aiden Mean? Its most popular spelling is not the traditional one By Jennifer White Updated March 05, 2017Share Pin Email Print Elena Litsova Photography/Getty Images Originally an Old Irish name, Aiden has been one of the most popular boys' names for about the past decade or so. It cracked the Top 10 most popular names in 2010 and has hovered in the top 20 since. The name has spawned other variations and spellings and has even outpaced the traditional Irish spelling of Aidan. The root of the name is from the name of the Irish sun god Aodh, the bringer of fire. There's also the seventh-century saint Aidan of Lindisfarne, a missionary who spread Christianity across Ireland. The Aidan of Irish myth was the twin brother of Fionnuala and son of Lir, one of the Tuatha de Danann. Several other characters from Irish mythology bore derivatives of Aidan/Aiden. Although now primarily used as a boy's name, Aiden also has the history of being used as a girl's name as well. Formerly common only in Ireland and Scotland, Aiden has become popular in the U. S., England, and Canada, with the \"\"e\"\" as the fourth letter (even though the traditional Irish spelling is \"\"Aidan\"\")."

Create a free account to save it. Create a free account Maybe later Sort Why does heart rate and breathing rate increase during exercise 1. When you exercise your muscles contract more frequently, which means they use more energy. 2. To replace this energy your body needs to do more aerobic respiration, so it needs to take in more oxygen and breathe out more CO2. 3. The body does this by increasing breathing rate to obtain more oxygen and get rid of more CO2. 4. It also does this by increasing heart rate to deliver oxygen and glucose to the muscles faster and remove extra CO2 produced by the increased rate of respiration in muscle cells."

"text": "Increased Heart Rate & Shortness of Breathby KRISTA SHEEHAN Sept. 11, 2017Jogging up a few flights of stairs or chasing your kids around the backyard can easily cause your heart rate and respiration to increase. In these types of situations, heart rate and respiration changes are typically harmless and often correct themselves with a few minutes of rest. However, there are several situations where an increased heart rate and shortness of breath indicate a very serious medical problem. Video of the Day4-Ingredient Banana Pancakes Tachycardia Tachycardia refers to a symptom of increased heart rate. The normal resting heart rate for a healthy adult is between 60 and 100 beats per minutes. A person with tachycardia has a resting heart rate above this normal heart rate. Mayo Clinic.com explains that electrical signals sent across the heart are responsible for controlling heart rate. When these electrical signals become abnormal, they cause one or more of the heart’s chambers to beat rapidly. When the heart beats too rapidly, the heart’s chambers have a difficult time filling with blood between heart beats. As a result, the heart may be unable to deliver an adequate amount of blood to the body."

"text": "\"The Science of Breathing Sarah Novotny and Len Kravitz, Ph. D. Introduction: Breathing techniques and patterns are regularly advocated for relaxation, stress management, control of psycho physiological states and to improve organ function (Ritz and Roth, 2003). Anatomically speaking there is a favorable equilibrium (balance in breathing pressures) with breathing, which can be easily disrupted by fatigue or prolonged sympathetic (excitatory) nervous system arousal as seen with stress. One therapeutic goal of yoga is that it may reduce or alleviate some of the chronic negative effects of stress. This stress relief is one reason that breathing, or pranayama as it is called in yoga, is very central to yoga practices. This article will endeavor to explain the physiological mechanisms and the mind-body connection of breathing, as well as many of the research driven applications utilized with breathing. Fitness professionals and personal trainers will become more aware of the truths and myths of breathing, and related conditions, so that they can better guide and teach their students and clients. Breathing Mechanics 101Breathing, called ventilation consists of two phases, inspiration and expiration. During inspiration the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm moves downward increasing the volume of the thoracic (chest) cavity, and the external intercostal muscles pull the ribs up and outward, expanding the rib cage, further increasing this chest volume."

Carbon Dioxide (C02) is essentially a waste product of the body but is important as a hameostatic feedback mechanism. The level of C02 in the blood is the most important influence on the regulation of ventilation. The blood level of C02 acts directly on the respiratory centres in the medulla and is a major influence on cerebro‑spinal fluid p H. An increase in C02 level leads to an increase in ventilation by stimulating phrenic and intercostal nerves that activate the respiratory muscles. In discussing the importance of carbon dioxide in the control of breathing this essay will first discuss the mechanics of breathing, the muscles involved and their control by the medulla and pons. It will also note that the influence of carbon dioxide during exercise is not consistent with that during rest. Breathing consists of two phases: inspiration, when air flows into the lungs, and expiration, when gases leave the lungs. Air flows into the lungs when atmospheric pressure is higher than the air pressure within the thoracic cavity. This is because gases flow along a gradient from high pressure to lower pressure. Similarly, gases are expelled from the lungs when the pressure within the thoracic cavity is greater than that in the atmosphere."

Version 2 or 2.0 is simpler since it does not restrict eye vision (see the image on the right). The Training Mask is used during different forms of physical exercise by people who practice yoga, martial arts, extreme sports, mountain climbing and so forth. Is it just another breathing gadget similar to Power Breathe, Expand-a-Lung, and some other devices used by athletes and exercising people for sports and running? In this Training Mask 2.0 review, we are going to consider health effects of High Altitude Training Mask and its impact on oxygen transport and body oxygenation. This helps us to understand why, for example, Pete Jacobs, 2012 Ironman World Champion, uses Training Mask. As a first step, it is necessary to understand why modern people have low body O2 content, are unfit, and suffer from diseases. Many people assume that the Elevation Training Mask is just another breathing device that is created to strengthen respiratory muscles and mimic effects of high altitude. However, it is not accidental that people claim more benefits after using the Training Mask in comparison with other resistive devices."

Henry's Law: Gases dissolve in liquids in proportion to their partial pressures, depending on their solubility in the specific fluids and depending on the temperature. Partial Pressures of Air Standard atmospheric pressure (at sea level) = 760 mm Hg Nitrogen (N 2) is 79.04% of air; the partial pressure of nitrogen (PN 2) = 600.7 mm Hg Oxygen (O 2) is 20.93% of air; PO 2= 159.1 mm Hg Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is 0.03%; PCO 2= 0.2 mm Hg Did You Know…? The solubility of a gas in blood and the temperature of blood are relatively constant. Differences in the partial pressures of gases in the alveoli and in the blood create a pressure gradient across the respiratory membrane. This difference in pressures leads to diffusion of gases across the respiratory membrane. The greater the pressure gradient, the more rapidly oxygen diffuses across it. PO 2 AND PCO 2 IN BLOODPartial Pressures of Respiratory Gases at Sea Level Key Points: Pulmonary Diffusion Pulmonary diffusion is the process by which gases are exchanged across the respiratory membrane in the alveoli to the blood and vice versa. The amount of gas exchange depends on the partial pressure of each gas. Gases diffuse along a pressure gradient, moving from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure."

However, mainstream medicine largely continues to ignore the effect of sleep on health. Fortunately, there are smart life-oriented clinical physicians for whom sleep is one of the central lifestyle factors to take care about. Decades of systematic medical research and clinical experience of Soviet and Russian Buteyko MDs has accumulated rich practical material about the role and place of sleep in health restoration and breathing retraining (how to achieve slower breathing with more oxygen in body cells). Good sleep is an important factor of wellbeing that improves quality and amount of breath work, better adherence to positive lifestyle factors, and promotes lighter breathing and better overall body-oxygen test results. When sleeping problems or insomnia are already present, using various sleep hygiene ideas and techniques helps to gradually improve quality of sleep. Poor quality of sleep, on the other hand, worsens CP growth creating a vicious circle: poor sleep → poor digestion, low energy, lack of motivation and hyperventilation → low blood CO2 and overexcited hypocapnic hypoxic brain → poor sleep → etc. Why Sleep is Death for the Sick (Medical Facts)As we discussed before, the early morning hours (4-7 am) have the highest mortality rates due to Morning Heavy Breathing Effect (follow the link to read medical abstracts related to effects of sleep on the severely sick and critically ill people, as well as people in better health). The same time has the highest rates for acute exacerbations for asthma, heart disease, epilepsy, etc. We already discussed before 2 central factors for this Morning Heavy Breathing Effect: sleeping on one's back and mouth breathing with simple solutions How to Prevent Sleeping on One's Back and How to Tape Mouth."

Photo: www.shutterstock.com Labored breathing is very familiar to runners. They call it the ventilatory threshold. It’s that intensity of exercise above which your breathing becomes labored and you feel you just can’t draw in as much air as your body wants. Every runner is experientially familiar with the ventilatory threshold. When you run easy you breathe easy. As your speed increases, your breathing deepens, but gradually. However, as you continue to increase your speed, suddenly it seems as if a switch is flipped and your breathing races off ahead of your legs. While the experience of the ventilatory threshold is familiar to every runner, the concept of the ventilatory threshold is less familiar to the average runner than is that of the lactate threshold."

The food a horse consumes is its fuel. The fuel is converted into nutritional energy that powers the muscles. The respiratory system provides oxygen to facilitate metabolism, and the cardiovascular or circulatory system delivers the oxygen and nutrients to tissues as well as carrying off waste products that are produced when the \"\"engine\"\" is running. The Respiratory System Horse and rider Air passes through the nostrils and along a lengthy nasal cavity, then it passes over the larynx and pharynx. After passing through the trachea, the inspired air arrives at the bronchial trees within the lungs. Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli, where the circulatory system receives oxygen and delivers it to tissues throughout the body, along with nutrients absorbed from the digestive system. We'll take a close a look at these two systems and the manner in which they function. Respiratory System The purpose of the respiratory system can be stated simply and succinctly: It functions to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is inspired for use by the tissues, and carbon dioxide (CO2) is exhaled as a waste product."

Over the years these slight, elegant dogs have proved themselves to be extremely good at their job becoming a firm favourite with many people throughout the country and elsewhere in the world. Also known as the \"\"Snap Dog\"\", whippets are capable of running very fast with records of them reaching 56 km/h miles when in full flight which in short, means they are superb racing dogs. They are gentle characters by nature and are known to be one of the cleanest dogs around, but with this comes the \"\"hound\"\" in them which in short means that a Whippet would feel the need to chase anything that moves. They thrive on human company and are highly adaptable being just at home in a country house or large castle as they would be living in a smaller house providing there is a very secure back garden for them to safely let off steam as often as possible. They are one of the most popular sporting-type dogs on the planet for these very reasons with Whippets being high on the list of favourite family pets and companions in the UK."

This breeds versatile talents made them a favorite of farmers and ranchers for such uses as protection, livestock driving, family companions, and as catch dogs for hogs and semi-wild cattle. Character The American Pit Bull Terrier is solidly built, medium in size, muscular, and powerful. Frequently referred to as great warriors, this breed exhibits strength, courage, agility, and grace. They have an exceptionally gentle disposition with those they love. Temperament This breed is extremely loyal, deeply devoted, affectionate, intelligent, and good-natured. The American Pit Bull Terrier does best in a home with older considerate children. They will get along with other dogs they have been raised with but may exhibit aggression toward strange dogs and other small household pets. They are exceedingly protective of their family, home, and territory. American Pit Bull Terriers are not generally used for guarding due to their friendly nature."

Copyright © 2000-2018The Papillon shares top billing with the Toy Poodle as the brightest and most trainable of the toy breeds. Indeed, the spirited, athletic Papillon is commonly chosen by obedience or agility trainers who want a top-notch competition dog in a very small package. Indoors and out, Papillons are lively and playful, yet also light-footed and graceful – not likely to topple lamps. But that doesn't mean everyone who is looking for a toy breed should acquire a Papillon. They're not the best choice, for example, if you want a calm, cuddly lapdog. Most Papillons are active, inquisitive dogs, especially when they're young. They don't like to sit still for very long. My own Papillon (that's Jenna in the photo above) is frequently in motion and obsessed with retrieving squeaky balls – for hours. She is also clever and creative and will entertain herself by making up her own games."

The Disney adventure movie “Eight Below” is based on the true story of the 1957 Japanese expedition to the South Pole and stars six Siberian Huskies. Not every breed made its American debut with as big a splash as the Siberian Husky. A team of these lean, fast sled dogs, originally developed by the seminomadic Chukchi people of Northeastern Asia to pull sleds over long distances, proved just what they were made of while racing across the frozen Alaskan wilderness to deliver life-saving diphtheria serum to remote Nome, Alaska, in January 1925. Some of the dogs were taken on a tour of the Lower 48 after news of the courageous men and dogs spread, and they were met with wild acclaim. From that day on, the Siberian has been popular. For those looking for a calm dog to settle with on the couch in the evenings and maybe enjoy a short stroll around the block a few times a week, the Siberian Husky isn’t a match."

I’m sure you’re wondering why anybody would need to know how to breed a goat. Well, if you’re anything like me, and you’ve successfully convinced your husband to start a small farm, and that farm includes goats, which means you’ll have to breed goats so you can start milking those goats, and you officially become the weird one in your family who milks goats and actually drinks goats milk….. Well, you’ve come to the right place, my friend!In case you didn’t know, goats need to breed & have babies before they can produce milk. Yes, I’m sorry to say, you can’t just buy a goat and start tugging. I know. Such a bummer. In order for their lactation to start up (often called freshening), you’ve got to get that female goat (often called a doe) of yours a boyfriend to whisper sweet nothings in her ear. Some facts about goat breeding cycles: Male goats can breed as young as 7 weeks old. This doesn’t mean that they should be bred, but it’s definitely possible for him to get his sister and mother pregnant, so it’s important to remove bucks from females at 7 weeks old!"

The next question is almost invariably, \"\"Why do they cost so much???\"\" Even if people are too intimidated to ask that, I bet they think it. It is a great question that any good breeder should be more than willing to answer. Breeding is an expensive proposition if it is done right. For a detailed discussion of that, please see my article \"\"Thinking of Breeding Your Doodle?\"\". So you read that article and realize how expensive it is to breed, whelp and raise a litter. But the question still remains, \"\"Why are SOME Doodles more expensive than others?\"\". It's a fact that you can find listings on the internet and in newspapers where Labradoodle and Goldendoodle puppies cost $500, or even less, and then there are Doodle puppies, like the ones I sell here at Westwood, that cost $1500-2500."

Now a little further down the road, I am considering it. I'm still in the research phases and I haven't totally comitted to the idea yet. My dog is still to young and I'd like to have the genetic's and OFA testing down prior to making my decision. However, because I never considered breeding him, I never thought to ask if I was purchasing him with Full or Limited registration. I can no longer get a hold of the breeder, so I'm kinda up [censored] creek. I decided to look toward the AKC for information regarding my breeding rights, and this is what they sent me: <span style=\"\"color: #3366FF\"\">There is a box on the application called the \"\"Limited Box\"\". If the boxis clear or has 3 numbers in it, this would mean that the dog has \"\"Full Registration\"\"."

Kristina Snyder is petitioning the producers and directors of Animal Planet to drop a new television program called “Yankee Jungle” which features what Kristina describes as a roadside zoo where they breed animals for profit but which is described as a non-profit sanctuary by the zoo itself. It is scheduled to be aired on November 29, which is tomorrow. I’m talking about the DEW Animal Kingdom & Sanctuary. It is based in Mount Vernon, Maine, USA. It has a wholesome, farm feel about it. This is what may have attracted Animal Planet. I suppose the owners would argue that their “sanctuary” breeds and sells desirable animals such as a white tiger cub for profit so that they can keep the place going and that there is no net profit in it for them (if what they say on their website is correct). They request donations amongst other contributions such as volunteering and visiting to buy items from the gift shop.

However, there are many questions you might not think to ask if you have never purchased a pedigreed animal before. It's important for you to understand your legal rights, your own responsibilities, the breeders' responsibilities, and areas where misunderstandings occur most. In the vast majority of cases, the breeders you encounter will be ethical, responsible folks trying to do the best by their cats. These questions will help you make sure that is the type of person you are dealing with.1. What do you think is special about this breed? Beware the breeder who does not wax poetic about the virtues of their breed. Most breeders are happy to tell you everything about their breed and why it’s the best breed in the world.

Sep 2014 Update | The Dog Press Club News Long-time Sheltie breeder Marie Davino shows very successfully in breed, groups, and in agility. Her experience is so typical of AKC’s refusal to be involved in anything other than making the not-for-profit corporation profitable that we decided to run her story. Speaking for thousands of breeders, Marie is so articulate that we asked her to tell readers about her AKC experience in her own words. \"\" I went online to look for photos of one of my Shelties who had just made it into the agility invitational and by chance, discovered my co-owned bitch had a 2 ½ year old daughter named Radiance.
