"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Fixation. In population genetics, fixation is the change in a gene pool from a situation where there exists at least two variants of a particular gene ( allele) to a situation where only one of the alleles remains. [ 1] In the absence of mutation, any allele must eventually be lost completely from the population or fixed (permanently established in the population). [ 2] Whether a gene will ultimately be lost or fixed is dependent on selection coefficients and chance fluctuations in allelic proportions. [ 3] Fixation can refer to a gene in general or particular nucleotide position in the DNA chain ( locus ). In the process of substitution, a previously non-existent allele arises by mutation and undergoes fixation by spreading through the population by random genetic drift or positive selection. Once the frequency of the allele is at 100%, i.e. being the only gene variant present in any member, it is said to be \"\"fixed\"\" in the population. [ 1]Similarly, genetic differences between taxa are said to have been fixed in each species.

"text": "Antifreeze Poisoning Effects, Symptoms, Treatment What is anti-freeze poisoning? Anti-freeze refers to the liquid coolant used in automotive engines. It is also known as radiator fluid. The active compound in most anti-freeze liquids is ethylene glycol. Some anti-freeze liquids may also contain methanol and isopropanol. Anti-freeze poisoning occurs when a person accidently or deliberately ingests anti-freeze coolant liquid containing ethylene glycol, which is toxic to the body. Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, and non-volatile liquid with a sweet taste. This sweet taste often entices children and animals to consume it accidently. New regulations in the United States now compel manufacturers of anti-freeze to add some bitter-tasting additives (example, denatonium benzoate) to anti-freeze liquids in order to mask the sweet taste of ethylene glycol and deter its consumption. Apart from accidental deaths, anti-freeze poisoning is also implicated in many cases of deaths caused by acts of murder or suicide."

In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements. Mutations result from errors during DNA replication (especially during Meiosis) or other types of damage to DNA (such as may be caused by exposure to radiation or carcinogens ), which then may undergo error-prone repair (especially microhomology-mediated end joining [1] ), or cause an error during other forms of repair, [2] [3] or else may cause an error during replication ( translesion synthesis ). Mutations may also result from insertion or deletion of segments of DNA due to mobile genetic elements. [ 4] [5] [6] Mutations may or may not produce discernible changes in the observable characteristics ( phenotype) of an organism. Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes including: evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system, including junctional diversity. The genomes of RNA viruses are based on RNA rather than DNA. The RNA viral genome can be double stranded (as in DNA) or single stranded. In some of these viruses (such as the single stranded human immunodeficiency virus) replication occurs quickly and there are no mechanisms to check the genome for accuracy."

As always, I tend to emphasize the huge role that diet plays in the management of CKD. I noticed that my recent posts might be becoming too wordy, so I am going to keep myself very brief today!Ever since coffee was discovered over a millennium ago in Ethiopia, pages upon pages have been written about the myriad health effects of caffeine. Being a psychoactive substance, caffeine has been regulated and even banned for multiple reasons ranging from the religious, to its effect on \"\"overstimulating the senses\"\". Books have been written about even the \"\"sexual hysteria\"\" it could cause!But lets talk about it from an objective, health perspective. I am going to restrict myself to the cardiovascular and renal effects of coffee (the effects of coffee are dose dependent; please note that a single, 8 oz cup of coffee has about 100-200 mg of caffeine ). Image courtesy of amenic181/ Free Digital Photos.net CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS, BLOOD PRESSURE, AND KIDNEY DISEASEThere is some evidence that caffeine can cause momentary increases in the blood pressure (up to 10 mm Hg), especially in people who are not habitual coffee drinkers. However, this effect is enhanced in the elderly, and people who have underlying hypertension. Beyond this short lived spike in blood pressure, there is some data that caffeine could have a long term chronic effect on raising the blood pressure as well."

"text": "Extranuclear DNAAll of the genetic information in a cell was initially thought to be confined to the DNA in the chromosomes of the cell nucleus. It is now known that small circular chromosomes, called extranuclear, or cytoplasmic, DNA, are located in two types of organelles found in the cytoplasm of the cell. These organelles are the mitochondria in animal and plant cells and the chloroplasts in plant cells. Chloroplast DNA ( cp DNA) contains genes that are involved with aspects of photosynthesis and with components of the special protein-synthesizing apparatus that is active within the organelle. Mitochondrial DNA ( mt DNA) contains some of the genes that participate in the conversion of the energy of chemical bonds into the energy currency of the cell—a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—as well as genes for mitochondrial protein synthesis. The cells of several groups of organisms contain small extra DNA molecules called plasmids. Bacterial plasmids are circular DNA molecules; some carry genes for resistance to various agents in the environment that would be toxic to the bacteria (e.g., antibiotics ). Many fungi and some plants possess plasmids in their mitochondria; most of these are linear DNA molecules carrying genes that seem to be relevant only to the propagation of the plasmid and not the host cell. Heredity and evolution At the centre of the theory of evolution as proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace were the concepts of variation and natural selection. Hereditary variants were thought to arise naturally in populations, and then these were either selected for or against by the contemporary environmental conditions."

The gene for total baldness is epistatic to those for blond hair or red hair. The hair-colour genes are hypostatic to the baldness gene. The baldness phenotype supersedes genes for hair colour and so the effects are non-additive. [ citation needed]Epistasis is the phenomenon where the effect of one gene ( locus) is dependent on the presence of one or more 'modifier genes', i.e. the genetic background. Originally the term meant that the phenotypic effect of one gene is masked by a different gene (locus). [ 1] Thus, epistatic mutations have different effects in combination than individually. It was originally a concept from genetics but is now used in biochemistry, computational biology and evolutionary biology. It arises due to interactions, either between genes, or within them, leading to non-linear effects. Epistasis has a large influence on the shape of evolutionary landscapes, which leads to profound consequences for evolution and evolvability of phenotypic traits."

Overall fitness of progeny cohorts and the B. progeny lifespan were all lower when progeny were the result of crosses with pollen taken close to a receptor plant. [ 1]Inbreeding depression is the reduced biological fitness in a given population as a result of inbreeding, or breeding of related individuals. Population biological fitness refers to an organism's ability to survive and perpetuate its genetic material. Inbreeding depression is often the result of a population bottleneck. In general, the higher the genetic variation or gene pool within a breeding population, the less likely it is to suffer from inbreeding depression. Inbreeding depression seems to be present in most groups of organisms, but varies across mating systems. Hermaphroditic species often exhibit lower degrees of inbreeding depression than outcrossing species, as repeated generations of selfing is thought to purge deleterious alleles from populations. For example, the outcrossing nematode (roundworm) Caenorhabditis remanei has been demonstrated to suffer severely from inbreeding depression, unlike its hermaphroditic relative C. elegans, which experiences outbreeding depression.

"text": "Recently the Washington Post reported that previous estimates of global warming may all be greatly underestimated, according to a new United Nations Science Compendium. Robert Correll, chair of the Climate Action Initiative, which helped write the report, suggests that even if countries adopt all of the climate policies now being debated in Copenhagen, global temperatures will still rise by 6.3o F. This is twice what the Nobel Prize-winning International Panel on Climate Change in 2007 predicted would cause catastrophic changes to civilization worldwide. This is scary stuff and suggests that to keep the world from overheating, we'll have to initiate even tougher greenhouse emission policies than those currently proposed. Of course, if civilization itself is threatened by such global warming, few people will be sitting around wondering what it might do to fall foliage displays by trees. There will be more important things to contend with if that happens. But for the next few decades at least, civilizations will persist, and we will have the luxury of pondering how global change might affect fall color. Although it may seem a trivial aspect of our lives, fall color affects us materially and spiritually: it is one of those intangibles that make life worth living, that adds, literally, color to our lives. So, if global climate change is going to alter this aspect of our lives, we ought to know about it up front. Along those lines then, how could global climate change affect fall color? To paraphrase the Bard, let me count the ways: (1) higher temperatures, (2) altered timing and/or amounts of precipitation, (3) changes in humidity, (4) changes in cloud cover and light striking the trees, (5) increases in the length of the growing season and displacement of the timing of leaf out and leaf fall, (6) higher levels of nitrogen inputs to ecosystems from agricultural practices such as fertilizing and hog production, (7) acidic deposition that causes nutrients to leach out of the soil, (8) migration of trees farther north to escape the heat, (9) extirpation of trees that can't migrate for one reason or another, and finally, (10) changes in competition due to greater pest loads or invasive exotic species."

Through experimental studies, Allee was able to demonstrate that goldfish grow more rapidly when there are more individuals within the tank. [ 2] This led him to conclude that aggregation can improve the survival rate of individuals, and that cooperation may be crucial in the overall evolution of social structure. The term \"\"Allee principle\"\" was introduced in the 1950s, a time when the field of ecology was heavily focused on the role of competition among and within species. [ 1] [3] The classical view of population dynamics stated that due to competition for resources, a population will experience a reduced overall growth rate at higher density and increased growth rate at lower density. In other words, individuals in a population would be better off when there are fewer individuals around due to a limited amount of resources (see logistic growth ). However, the concept of the Allee effect introduced the idea that the reverse holds true when the population density is low. Individuals within a species often require the assistance of another individual for more than simple reproductive reasons in order to persist. The most obvious example of this is observed in animals that hunt for prey or defend against predators as a group."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Medicine What is the basis of Herman mullers ratchet theory? Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: In evolutionary genetics, Muller's ratchet (named after Hermann Joseph Muller and a mechanical device) is the process by which the genomes of an asexual population accumulate deleterious mutations in an irreversible manner. Illustration of chromosome crossover during genetic recombination Muller proposed this mechanism as a theory to explain the evolution of sex. Although Muller's ratchet is proposed to explain the success of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction, the negative effect of accumulating irreversible deleterious mutations may not be prevalent in organisms which, while they reproduce asexually, also undergo other forms of recombination. This effect has also been observed in those regions of sexual organisms' genomes which do not undergo recombination.fss · 8 years ago0 0 Commentno longer a lot you would possibly want to no longer be better incorrect The Taxed sufficient Already human beings help Cain because they desire a useful President as a change of an incompetent socialist community organizer President like Obama. regrettably like such an excellent number of different Obamabot Liberals, you obviously choose a guy through the colour of his dermis really than his competence in case you judged a guy through his competence you by no potential might want to have voted for Obama in the first positionswanger · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Maybe you would like to learn more about one of these?

DNA - the biological macromolecule that encodes genetic informationgene - a section of DNA that encodes the structure of a protein. Every three letters of the DNA code stands for an m RNA codon, which--in turn--stands for one amino acid.genome - the full complement of all the genes an organism has.diploid cells have two full copies of the genome (example: almost any body cell)haploid cells have one copy of the genome (example: sperm or ovum)chromosome - strands of DNA (containing genes) and protein found in a cell nucleuslocus - the physical location of a gene on a chromosomemutation - any change in a genesomatic mutation - change of DNA in a somatic (body) cellgermline mutation - change of DNA in a cell that will become sperm or egg.allele - one of several different versions of a gene, each coding for a different protein (which sometimes means a different phenotype).dominant - an allele that masks the expression of another, alternate allelerecessive - an allele whose phenotypic effect can be masked by a dominant allelewild type - the most commonly found/expressed allele in a populationmutant - any allele that is changed (mutated) so that it's different from wild type (Let's have a look at some examples . ) homozygous - organism has two copies of the same allele for a particular gene (XX or xx)heterozygous - organism has two different alleles for a particular gene (Xx)genotype - the genetic makeup of an organismphenotype - the physical makeup of an organism, as directed by genes & environmentmonogenic trait - trait controlled by only one gene (e.g. - tongue rolling)polygenic trait - trait affected by many different genes (e.g. - human stature/height)How Do Genes Change? A population that is genetically identicalcannot evolveunless something happens to change some of its genes. A group of genetically identical organisms is known as a CLONE. Without genetic variation, this group cannot evolve. In a changing environment, it's better to have offspring who are variable, so at least some will survive. The basis of this variation is changes in the DNA: MUTATIONS. Mutation is the raw material of evolution MICROEVOLUTION is genetic change in a population over generations that does not result in new species."

"text": "Difference between Bonding, Grounding and Earthing September 7, 2012 61 Comments Introduction: One of the most misunderstood and confused concept is difference between Bonding, Grounding and Earthing. Bonding is more clear word compare to Grounding and Earthing but there is a micro difference between Grounding and Earhing. Earthing and Grounding are actually different terms for expressing the same concept. Ground or earth in a mains electrical wiring system is a conductor that provides a low impedance path to the earth to prevent hazardous voltages from appearing on equipment. Earthing is more commonly used in Britain, European and most of the commonwealth countries standards (IEC, IS), while Grounding is the word used in North American standards (NEC, IEEE, ANSI, UL). We understand that Earthing and Grounding are necessary and have an idea how to do it but we don’t have crystal clear concept for that. We need to understand that there are really two separate things we are doing for same purpose that we call Grounding or Earthing. The Earthing is to reference our electrical source to earth (usually via connection to some kind of rod driven into the earth or some other metal that has direct contact with the earth). The grounded circuits of machines need to have an effective return path from the machines to the power source in order to function properly (Here by Neutral Circuit). In addition, non-current-carrying metallic components in a System, such as equipment cabinets, enclosures, and structural steel, need to be electrically interconnected and earthed properly so voltage potential cannot exist between them."

The protagonist is someone who is self-destructive, almost reminiscent of someone with severe borderline personality or a masochist; she passionately falls in love with some she has such a strong attachment to yet this person is also her demise. Its a dark love story. The title of this song conjures up imagery of beauty and darkness. Paganism is mysterious and at time dark; a direct antithesis to poetry, a light and delicate art form. In the beginning she is pedaling through the dark currents and finds an accurate copy, a \"\"blueprint\"\" of herself. This is her saying that through this dark current, a euphemism for her self-destructive activities and behaviors (ex. a drug addict at a party, prostitution, etc) she finds her soulmate, someone just as dark, twisted, and broken as her. \"\" Swirling black lilies totally ripe A secret code carved\"\" Yet again, the imagery of darkness (black) is matched with something as delicate and soft as love (lilies).

"text": "\"What is Decyl Glucoside? Decyl Glucoside is a very popular ingredient these days because it comes from corn and coconuts, so it's natural, and it's also bidegradable. You'll commonly find it used as a detergent/cleanser and sometimes it's labeled ambiguously as \"\"non-ionic surfactant\"\" which means that it has a neutral (no) charge, and it lowers the surface tension of water. Decyl Glucoside is obtained from 100% renewable raw materials, through a combination of plant based fatty alcohol, decanol which is derived from coconut and glucose (corn starch). Decyl Glucoside is a mild, and gentle, surfactant and because it does not dry the skin it is ideal for the formulation of personal hygiene and toiletry products. Decyl glucoside was first used in soaps and body cleansers because of its great foaming power, mildness, and its ability to lather easily and thicken while retaining skin moisture even when used repeatedly; prevent skin dryness. It also improves skin tolerance of a cosmetic formulation. Decyl glucoside is classified as a surfactant and this is why it is used in many products that are primarily used for personal hygiene and toiletries. It also helps to moisturize the skin to prevent inflammation and itchiness. Decyl glucoside has many other qualities making it compatible with other cleaning chemicals and agents."

"text": "\"The 3 Most Important Elements of Fiction Writing By Magdalena Ball Even highly celebrated and well-paid authors miss them. While almost all writers are clear on the importance of plot, there are other writing skills such as a strong narrative voice, good deep characterization, and relevant, subtle scenery description that set a work of fiction apart, rendering it literary or great. In my work as a reader for a small publishing house, I have seen these omissions in nearly every manuscript that has come across my desk. If these three elements are patchy or not well-controlled, a piece of fiction will be amateurish, shallow, and potentially unpublishable (unless your name is Grisham or King). No amount of exciting plot or poetic description of the surrounding environment will make up for it. Following is a list of the three most important elements of fiction writing, along with a series of exercises and references to help writers improve in these critical areas. The very best way to improve your writing in these, and other areas, is to read lots of writers who have excellent control in these areas. They are also referenced. There will always be something subtle that extends beyond writing classes and even articles such as this, and that is the writer’s ear. Extensive reading of good quality literature can help develop that subtle ear for what works and what doesn’t."

So how does the wrong and right clothes affect the way you look? When you stray away from your natural clothing personality you may feel uncomfortable even if the clothes look good aesthetically. People may comment on how your clothes look great but it doesn't necessarily mean that the garments look good on you. This discomfort often shows and will lead to an unflattering fashion victim'y or \"\"lost\"\" fashionista look. But when you stay with your true clothing personality you'll naturally feel good. You're letting yourself shine. You're not hiding behind a mask and it feels freeing. Being comfortable in your own 'skin' raises your confidence and people around you will notice that! When you're wearing clothes that are true to your fashion persona, it'll indicate to people that you're confident and that you like yourself."

Hillbilly Definition and Origin What is a Hillbilly? Hillbilly Definition and Origin Hillbilly is a term referring to people who dwell in remote, rural, mountainous areas of the United States, primarily Appalachia and the Ozarks. Due to its strongly stereotypical connotations, the term is frequently considered derogatory, and so is usually offensive to those Americans of Ozarkan and Appalachian heritage. However, the term is also used in celebration of their culture by mountain people themselves. Such co-opting and neutralizing use is almost exclusively reserved for Appalachian people themselves. History of the Hillbilly The origins of the term \"\"hillbilly\"\" are obscure. According to Anthony Harkins in Hillbilly: A Cultural History of an American Icon, the term first appeared in print in a 1900 New York Journal article, with the definition: \"\"a Hill-Billie is a free and untrammeled white citizen of Alabama, who lives in the hills, has no means to speak of, dresses as he can, talks as he pleases, drinks whiskey when he gets it, and fires off his revolver as the fancy takes him. \"\" The Appalachian region was largely settled in the 1700s by the Scotch-Irish, the majority of whom originated in the lowlands of Scotland. Harkins believes the most credible theory of the term's origin is that it derives from the linkage of two older Scottish expressions, \"\"hill-folk\"\" and \"\"billie\"\" which was a synonym for \"\"fellow\"\", similar to \"\"guy\"\" or \"\"bloke\"\"."

"text": "“Dry Clean Only” Clothes and How to Wash Them04/19/2016 by Kate Antoniades 20 Comments Do you check the fabric care label on a piece of clothing you’re thinking of buying? When you find out that it reads “dry clean only,” do you put it back on the rack, or resign yourself to expensive and inconvenient trips to the dry cleaner? We haven’t talked about how strictly we should follow washing instructions like “dry clean only” in quite a while, so let’s chat about it. “Dry Clean” vs. “Dry Clean Only”First, what do “dry clean” and “dry clean only” labels actually mean? Technically, the former means dry cleaning is recommended while the latter means dry cleaning is a must. According to Martha Stewart Living , you can hand-wash or use the washing machine’s cold cycle for unlined clothes made from natural fibers or polyester, while the dry cleaner is your best bet for suits, pleated skirts, rayon and other “delicate synthetics,” silk, wool, leather, suede, and clothing with sequins, beading, or metallic pieces. The article points out that clothing manufacturers err on the side of caution by saying “dry clean only;” they want to reduce the risk of customers returning clothes damaged by improper home washing. ( By the way, over at Corporette Moms we regularly feature machine-washable workwear . ) Here are several more tips for washing “dry clean” or “dry clean only” clothes at home, including advice we’ve collected from Corporette readers’ comments: Tips For Washing Clothes Labeled “Dry Clean” (and “Dry Clean Only”)Do what the directions say at first — then take your chances. If you buy something that’s labeled “dry clean only,” do what the label says for the first year or so of wear, then try washing at home. ("

We are talking of course about colors and tones that define the space and world around us, the way that we are able to perceive it and to understand its depths and complexity. Most of us get influenced by the discreet changes in hues surrounding us, even if you are conscious about the fact or not. In interior decor, colors, tones, textures, intricate complex details define the space, speaking for our way of living and time spent indoors, contouring our character and personalty. Modern, rustic, retro chic, whatever the style chosen for the actual interior decor scheme, color sets the background for the desired effect and influences the atmosphere, our mood and the way we actually end up using that particular space. An airy, fresh vibrant living room with abundant natural light and stark white backgrounds with discreet beige taupe decorations will more likely be used more frequently than a rather dark space with sober tones and a grim atmosphere. The same train of thought applies to all the rest of the spaces in your abode. How To Use Taupe Color In Your Home Decor Source With the powerful significance of color in interior design in mind today we are focusing our attention to a color with a rather strange name: taupe, a trend that has been exploited and adapted by many interior designers and home decorators alike.

Or you just want to wear the ring on different finger rather than the one it was originally sized for. Ring resizing is a procedure that can be done for most types of rings. Many jewelers offer this service through their jewelry stores. Before you dash off to your local jewelry store, there are some important things you should know about ring resizing.

"text": "Difference between Bonding, Grounding and Earthing September 7, 2012 61 Comments Introduction: One of the most misunderstood and confused concept is difference between Bonding, Grounding and Earthing. Bonding is more clear word compare to Grounding and Earthing but there is a micro difference between Grounding and Earhing. Earthing and Grounding are actually different terms for expressing the same concept. Ground or earth in a mains electrical wiring system is a conductor that provides a low impedance path to the earth to prevent hazardous voltages from appearing on equipment. Earthing is more commonly used in Britain, European and most of the commonwealth countries standards (IEC, IS), while Grounding is the word used in North American standards (NEC, IEEE, ANSI, UL). We understand that Earthing and Grounding are necessary and have an idea how to do it but we don’t have crystal clear concept for that. We need to understand that there are really two separate things we are doing for same purpose that we call Grounding or Earthing. The Earthing is to reference our electrical source to earth (usually via connection to some kind of rod driven into the earth or some other metal that has direct contact with the earth). The grounded circuits of machines need to have an effective return path from the machines to the power source in order to function properly (Here by Neutral Circuit). In addition, non-current-carrying metallic components in a System, such as equipment cabinets, enclosures, and structural steel, need to be electrically interconnected and earthed properly so voltage potential cannot exist between them."

The first one is the thick and hard layer that gives the fruit its color. Beneath that is this white layer that resembles a spider's web as you pull the orange peel away. And the layer underneath that, the one that attaches directly to the pulp, is this very thin, semi-transparent, delicate membrane. Thick, spider web-like and thin membranes of an orange And, perhaps not too surprisingly, these layers remind me of the layers of the meninges, three fibrous membranes that enclose the central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord.

And while the physical excursion has lessened for the user, the choices that must be made before washing have increased dramatically. The water temperature and wash cycle choices affect the look and longevity of your clothes. As well as it may help you save money by selecting options that reduce utility costs. Image - Cold Wash For each load of laundry that you wash, there are three choices that must be made before you start the washer: Load size and/or water level Water temperature for wash and rinse cycles Cycle setting Load Size Small, Medium, Large. These are the choices on my washer but what do they mean? I suggest before you try to guess, read user manual. You'll find very clear help in making choices about load size. The most accurate method of determining load size is by weight depending on washer capacity. But there are a general rules of thumb about which setting to use based on the level of the clothes."

However, in the case of the washing machine, I won’t even bother doing the comparison between hand washing all your clothes and using the washing machine. Hand Washing Station in Guatemala, 2009On a service trip to Guatemala in 2009, I had the pleasure of serving an orphanage by helping the nuns hand wash bed sheets (see left). After that experience, I realized the full extent of labor and time savings that washing machines make possible. “Laundry in the past must have been the worst nightmare of any women because it was so time consuming and tiring,” “ The History of Laundry ” says. That’s one reason why in 1959, an advertising campaign for washing machines was “Every woman deserves a washing machine. ”So, assuming you’ll be using the washing machine, the question is what cycle should you use to wash your clothes. Every where you look, it is easy to find which cycle of your washing machine the makers recommend you use. “ Use ‘Whites’ for white garments. Use ‘Brights’ for bright garments,” the washing machine manual drones."

"text": "No movie or painting in a tropical land is complete without showing a girl with a flower in her hair. The flowers used are often hibiscus flowers. There are hundreds of species of hibiscus flowers but they all need to live in hot, humid lands like India, Hawaii, Haiti or Malaysia. They come in a variety of sizes and colors, but most sport five lobed petals around a stalked center. What Does the Hibiscus Flower Mean? Although specific meanings for the hibiscus differ depending on the culture of the beholder, there are some generalities about what the hibiscus symbolizes. This is considered a very feminine flower and so is usually given or worn by women. In North America especially, a hibiscus means a perfect wife or woman. In Victorian times, giving a hibiscus meant that the giver was acknowledging the receiver’s delicate beauty. In China, hibiscuses symbolize the fleeting and beauty of fame or personal glory."

"text": "Delsym is a commonly used medication for the relief of coughs that are not accompanied by phlegm, but instead a result of infection, such as a common cold or sinusitis. As a cough suppressant, it works by decreasing the feeling that coughing is necessary. While many people understand the importance of only taking Delsym as directed by a medical professional, others make the mistake of taking too much of this medication. Some do so on accident, while others do so as they have become addicted. If you are taking Delsym and begin to experience serious signs and symptoms of an overdose, it is important to contact a doctor as soon as possible. Just because this medication is used to treat a cough does not mean it is any less dangerous than others. Here are some of the most common symptoms associated with a Delsym overdose: Confusion Blurred Vision Difficulty Urinating Dizziness Drowsiness Slowed Breathing Unsteady Walking Nervousness Irritability Unusual Excitement Some side effects of Delsym may go away over time, as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if side effects are serious or continue for an extended period of time, it is always a good idea to speak with a medical professional. While not as common as the symptoms listed above, there are other side effects of Delsym. These include: Constipation Headache Vomiting Nausea Stomach pain If you are concerned about overdosing on Delsym, it is important to discuss this with your doctor."

Current treatment options for chronic sinusitis include nasal irrigation, medications, and surgery (see Sinusitis Treatment). In most cases, medicines are used to decrease symptoms and improve the quality of life. However, they do not usually cure the condition. Because chronic sinusitis can be difficult to treat, several medications may be combined in a variety of ways, depending on a person's particular situation. It can take several different medicines or combinations of medicines before your healthcare provider finds the ones that work best in your situation. Nasal and Oral Steroids When treating chronic sinusitis, healthcare providers commonly prescribe steroid nasal sprays to reduce inflammation. When combined with nasal irrigation, these medicines are helpful in treating nasal congestion and blockage. These are similar to the nasal steroids used for acute sinusitis; they are just used for longer periods in people with chronic sinusitis. Make sure to keep your head slightly downward when spraying."

For example, if a person has a sore throat, runny nose, and a low-grade fever, it is likely that the throat infection is caused by a virus. In some cases, however, a sore throat may be the result of a bacterial infection, such as strep throat, which has different symptoms than a viral infection. An Overview of Sore Throat Signs or Symptoms A sore throat is a symptom in and of itself. It can be caused by a number of conditions, the most common being an infection with either a virus or bacteria (see Sore Throat Causes). The specific symptoms a person has will depend on several factors, including the sore throat cause. Illnesses and Symptoms of Sore Throat There are several different types of infections that can cause a sore throat. Let's look at three examples that show how different germs can cause different symptoms. We'll look at: Viral infections Strep throat Infectious mononucleosis .

Back in my syrup drinking days, it could take as long as 2+ hours. Especially if I'd eaten recently. So if it was gel-caps that you took, then that's probably pretty normal. I've also noticed that the DXM come-up really tends to sneak up on me... I won't really be noticing any effects, and then all of a sudden I'll realize that I'm full-blown disassociated. If it's been awhile and you're not feeling anything, get up and walk around a little, even though you probably won't feel like it. When you're coming up, it'll feel like you're really drunk."

Some of the things that affect how long pneumonia lasts include your age, the severity of your symptoms, the cause of the pneumonia, and your general health. If your pneumonia was caused by bacteria, your healthcare provider will likely prescribe antibiotics. People usually start to feel better three to five days after the medicines are started, with a return to normal activities within a week. Tiredness and a mild cough can take longer to get better -- in some cases, taking up to a month or longer. In most cases, pneumonia can be treated at home; however, more serious cases often require time in the hospital. People who are treated in the hospital may need at least three weeks before they can go back to their normal routines. ( To learn more about how long this condition lasts, click Pneumonia Treatment."

Symptoms often include: runny or stuffed nose, sore throat, cough, body aches, headache, sneezing, watery eyes, low fever and feeling tired. There is no cure for the common cold. Over the counter medicines (OTC) can help with symptoms. Choosing a cold medicine can be very confusing. There are so many different products and brand names. Combination products with multiple ingredients are even more confusing. Below is a table of common ingredients/products and what they do. To make choosing a product easier, think about the symptoms you have and then look for ingredients that help those symptoms."

Upper-respiratory infections, like a cold or the flu, are the most common cause of cough. Respiratory infections are believed to cause coughing due to post-nasal drip and inflammation, which irritate upper airway nerves and trigger the cough response. Over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicines don't speed recovery from a cold or the flu but might reduce coughing. Understanding the differences among antihistamines, decongestants, expectorants, suppressants and combination formulas can help you select an OTC cough medicine. Prescription cough medicines are reserved for long-term respiratory ailments, such as chronic bronchitis. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Antihistamines Certain types of antihistamines are one of the first lines of defense for taming a cold-related cough.

"text": "\"by Mile Cards.com on Wed January 4, 2017 • 174 Comments We’re often asked by readers “how can I top off my XXX miles account?” or “how can I combine miles?” An often overlooked tool is the handful of credit cards that let you transfer the points you earn from spending directly into miles of popular airlines with no fee except for small excise taxes. We have a complete list below, but before that here are three reasons mile transfer is something you should consider: Maximize the chances you’ll find a free ticket. By pooling your spending and points onto a credit card that lets you transfer points to airline mile programs you can have multiple options to get a free ticket. For example, if Delta doesn’t have the free ticket availability you’re looking for, you can transfer your points to American Airlines instead. ‘Top off’ existing mileage accounts. You may find yourself with 44,000 miles in your airline mile account, but need 50,000 miles for a reward. By having miles banked up in a credit card program that allows mile transfer, you can top off your account. ‘ Gifting’ miles to friends or relatvies is also easier — you can often link the account of your spouse or an authorized user, letting you share your points."

"text": "\"Christoffer Laulund, Aerospace engineer, airplane geek, management student Answered Mar 26, 2014 · Upvoted by Tim Hibbetts, Naval Aviator, Airline Pilot, Aerospace Eng Maj The biggest issue with increasing speed of today's airliners is simply one of aerodynamics. We can only do so much with air, and air isn't about to radically change - luckily I might add. The Concorde flew at supersonic speeds, but was exceedingly expensive to operate and maintain. Additionally, its safety was called into question after the Paris accident in 2003. Additionally, flying faster than the speed of sound creates a massive pressure 'cone' permeating throughout the air from the object traveling at such speeds. This immense pressure difference creates what is known as the 'Sonic Boom' that can be heard clearly at the surface of the planet even when the aircraft is flying at 55,000-60,000 feet. ( You Tube 'Concorde breaking the sound barrier' to listen for yourself) Therefore, it is forbidden to operate supersonic aircraft over land (except for space exploration and military purposes) as it would disturb daily life and possibly even cause damage to objects on the ground. This limits the amount of routes airlines can fly with a supersonic aircraft, and hence also the market for such an aircraft. There are technologies in the pipeline that mitigate the sonic boom, however, these are still some way away from reaching maturity. Finally, with current aircraft design it is simply not possible to fly faster than close to the speed of sound."

Your Pilot Really Can Make Up the Time in the Air By Benjamin Montet An American Airlines jet taxis on the runway at Laguardia Airport on August 14, 2013, in New York. Bruce Bennett / Getty Images You’re sitting on a flight, in a long queue of airplanes, waiting to take off. You were supposed to have left 30 minutes ago. The pilot comes on the loudspeaker to say your plane is next in line for takeoff, and tells you not to worry, because the plane can make up the lost time in the air. I’ve always been skeptical of this claim, so I decided to check to see if this really happens: Do pilots put the pedal to the metal when their flights are delayed, even if the strategy is more costly because it uses more fuel? To my surprise, I discovered that pilots do try to make up time in the air, but only for delays that fall into a particular sweet spot. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics keeps detailed records of all domestic flights. I pulled the data for 2013 and focused on transcontinental routes served by at least five major airlines. Six routes fit this criterion: New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX), Boston (BOS) to Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK) to San Francisco (SFO), and the reverse routes."

At Delta we understand the perils of the traditional airline business model. The industry has in recent decades been known for short-term thinking, destructive decision making, and poor employee relations. However, in 2007, after emerging from bankruptcy, our company decided that we would be different. Delta already had the right culture and values and the right people, including directors with diverse expertise. We knew that with the right strategies, we could break away from our competitors. We could see a clear path through the woods. The first step was to adjust—along with other airlines—to new market realities. We would need to add scale and expand our geographic reach by merging with another U. S. carrier and partnering with foreign ones.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Delta's decision to buy an oil refinery earlier this week is certainly bold, possibly unique and perhaps an inspiration to anyone who wished they could stick it to Big Oil and make their own gas. But, for Delta, it's definitely risky. In laying down $250 million for Phillips 66's Trainer refinery just outside Philadelphia, Delta is betting that it can do what Conoco Phillips and every other oil company that considered buying the refinery evidently couldn't -- profitably make fuel at an old facility that relies on the most expensive type of crude on the planet. \"\"' Plants shut for a reason, and it's not usually the incompetence of their owner,\"\" said Kevin Waguespack, vice president of the energy consultancy Baker & O'Brien. \"\" How can Delta do any better than a large, sophisticated refiner like Conoco? \"\" Delta ( DAL, Fortune 500) certainly has some things going for it in the deal. It paid $150 million for the facility, which at the height of the refining boom five years back was probably worth ten times that, said Ben Brockwell, an analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. Delta to buy oil refinery Delta will put in another $100 million to upgrade the refinery to squeeze out as much jet fuel as possible. Delta plans on turning 32% of each barrel of oil into jet fuel when it's done the upgrade later this year."

The Space Shuttle could have landed at Stewart in an emergency. [ 8]After its closure as an U. S. Air Force base in the early 1970s, an ambitious plan by Governor Nelson Rockefeller to expand and develop the airport led to a protracted struggle with local landowners that led to reforms in the state's eminent domain laws but no actual development of the land acquired. In 1981 the 52 American hostages held in Iran made their return to American soil at Stewart. In 2000 the airport became the first U.

Today, Delta serves over 100 million passengers annually worldwide. Delta is the second-largest carrier in terms of passengers flown and the third-largest in terms of revenue in the world. Being realized as a major legacy airline in the U. S and the world for years, Delta started shifting its focus on the LCC (low-cost-carriers) competition. Delta needs to decide whether or not entering the competition and what will be their chance of success considering their past failure. To start analysis the strategic decision, I will first start conducting a full analysis inside the company and outside the environment. Industry analysis: Since airline ticket price is one of the expensive costs in travelling, we may draw conclusion that airline is a high profitable industry. However, the marginal return of Airlines industry is still below the average number for U. S. industry. The main reason is: a) cost cutting to maximize seats and b) excess capacity results in high competition. First, cost is measured by CASM, the cost required to fly one seat, and load factor, the fraction of seats that were occupied by paying passengers."

Welcome aboard Spirit Airlines, the no-frills, fee-happy airline that just started charging passengers up to $45 one-way to put a carry-on bag in the overhead bin. That's right: the carry-on bag is no longer free. Play Spirit Airlines: New Fees to Fly And don't think this is the last fee you'll see. Spirit CEO Ben Baldanza -- who actually calls the fees \"\"a consumer benefit\"\" -- hinted to ABC News that more surcharges will soon be on their way. \"\" It lets consumers decide what is important to them rather than the airline presuming what's important to them,\"\" Baldanza said. \"\" Imagine if you went to Mc Donald's and the only things you could buy were the value meals. \"\" Spirit's philosophy is to make base fares cheap as possible, and then to charge passengers for almost every conceivable extra.

"text": "Jet Cards Purchasing a jet card is like buying a block of time on an aircraft. Many charter brokers and charter operators and all the big fractional operators will be happy to sell access time in chunks. This typically locks in a price per hour that won't change during the use of those hours. These locked in hourly rates are normally good for either a year or two years. There are two broad structures for jet cards: Plane specific – where you prepay for a set number of hours on a specific aircraft type. These are typically 25 hour cards, but we’ve also seen cards for as few as 5 hours and for up to 50 hours. Debit card – where you deposit an initial sum, often starting at $100,000, and then the operator draws from this sum as you use different aircraft at fixed hourly rates. The initial deposit could be lower, for instance we’ve seen them at $50,000. Or could be higher, which may get you a lower hourly rate on each aircraft type. All flights are conducted under FAA Part 135 charter regulations, and thus you will have to pay the 7.5 % per-leg federal excise tax."

"text": "\"Plunging cost of jet fuel doesn't mean cheap seats THE ASSOCIATED PRESSWednesday, January 21, 2015, 10:20 AMfacebook Tweet email Fuel is getting cheaper for airlines, but that saving won’t affect customers filling up flights at full price. ( Tony Gutierrez/AP)DALLAS — Airlines will save billions this year thanks to cheaper jet fuel, but they aren't likely to share the bounty with passengers — not while so many flights are already full. Instead, the airlines will use their windfall to pay down debt and reward shareholders. Airline CEOs worry that oil prices could just as easily go higher. They hope consumers benefiting from cheaper gasoline will splurge on airline tickets. But the biggest reason airfares aren't falling: Planes are plenty full at current prices. Fuel is the biggest single expense at most airlines, and spot prices for jet fuel have tumbled by half since mid-September. If prices stay around these levels, U. S. airlines could save $20 billion this year by some estimates. The road to fuel savings at an airline isn't always as simple as it is for a driver at a gas station. Airlines often buy contracts known as hedges to protect themselves against sudden upward swings in fuel prices."

A mainline flight is a flight operated by an airline's main operating unit, rather than by regional alliances, regional code-shares, regional subsidiaries, or wholly owned subsidiaries offering low-cost operations. Mainline carriers typically operate between hub airports within their network and on international or long-haul services, using narrow-body and wide-body aircraft.

Fit Ops, a website for pilots, published a 2009 survey showing average salaries on major airlines range from $36,283 for smaller planes to $165,278 for captains of large commercial jets. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said rates for cargo pilots might be below $32,020. Commercial plane taking off runway Nonjet Airlines Commercial plane in flight The Will Fly For Food website for professional pilots separates airlines into major airlines, national airlines, jet airlines and nonjet airlines, by type of craft flown at these airlines. The nonjet airlines employ commercial pilots, who fly small fixed or rotary-winged aircraft transporting few passengers or cargo. These airlines include Air Cargo Carriers and Great Lakes Airlines. As of 2009, pilots made $22 to $50 an hour. Jet Airlines Jet on tarmac On the jet airlines, pay rates ran from about $40 an hour to $140 an hour, depending on the aircraft, in 2009. On Will Fly For Food, this identified a certain size of jet craft that included cargo planes, private charter passenger planes that traveled internationally, such as North American Airlines, and midsize commercial carriers such as Virgin America.

By the time you read this, that number will have increased to 5.5 billion, an addition nearly equal to the population of the United States. Of course no one, including the UN, has a reliable crystal ball that reveals precisely how human numbers will change. Still, people have to plan for the future, and so the UN’s analysts and computers have been busy figuring what might happen. One possibility they consider is that future world fertility rates will remain what they were in 1990. The consequences of this, with accompanying small declines in death rates, are startling.

When you work with industry specific terminology on a daily basis, it’s easy to forget that people outside of your immediate work circle may not be familiar with your industry ‘jargon’. In an attempt to break some of the barriers between marketing companies and advertisers I thought I would look at socio-economic groups. First of all what is a socio-demographic group? Well it’s what companies use to group consumers into a ‘social class’. Socio-demographics are used in marketing to target a product/service to an individual via the media they consume. There are a few providers that supply socio demographic data, some of the most common ones include: Mosaic which is provided by Experian, their definitions can be used at individual, household or postcode level. ACORN is a geo-demographic segmentation of the UK’s population which segments small neighbourhoods, postcodes or consumer households into 5 categories, 17 groups and 56 types.

There are certain absolutes when it comes to obtaining a high response rate. Promise confidentiality. One of the most limiting factors in obtaining a high response rate to an employee survey is lack of trust that the results will be kept confidential. The first step in the process of reducing distrust is to promise the results are confidential. However, this is not enough. You also must: Use an outside firm to collect the data.

Yet, underlying all these dazzling changes and monumental concerns is a driving force that has been seriously underappreciated: China’s changing demography. With 1.33 billion people, China today remains the world’s most populous country. In a little more than a decade, however, it will for the first time in its long history give up this title, to India. But, even more important, China’s demographic landscape has in recent decades been thoroughly redrawn by unprecedented population changes. These changes will in the future drive the country’s economic and social dynamics, and will redefine its position in the global economy and the society of nations. Taken together, the changes portend a gathering crisis. One number best characterizes China’s demographics today: 160 million. First, the country has more than 160 million internal migrants who, in the process of seeking better lives, have supplied abundant labor for the nation’s booming economy. Second, more than 160 million Chinese are 60 years old or older."

Does your audience care what you as a speaker think? Can they see how your speech applies to their lives and interests? The act of public speaking is a shared activity that involves interaction between speaker and audience. In order for your speech to get a fair hearing, you need to create a relationship with your listeners. Scholars Sprague, Stuart, and Bodary explain, “Speakers do not give speeches to audiences; they jointly create meaning with audiences.” Sprague, J., Stuart, D., & Bodary, D. (2010).

Brown, Centre for Development Studies, University of Bath; and, Arnim Langer, Centre for Peace Research and Strategic Studies, Catholic University of Leuven Forthcoming in Oxford Development Studies 38:4 (2010) Introduction Although widely studied by anthropologists and political scientists since the late 1960s, ethnicity and by extension ethnic groups and ethnic diversity remain highly contested concepts. Despite the ‘slippery’ (Fearon 2003: 195) and ‘problematic nature of ethnicity’ (Nagel 1994: 154), an increasing number of political scientists and economists have started to incorporate ethnic groups into their (empirical) analyses or use ethnic diversity as an independent variable for explaining a range of social and economic outcomes, most notably relating to violent group mobilization, secessionist movements and economic growth differences (see, for example: Collier and Hoeffler 1998; Easterly 1997; Rodrik 1999; Sambanis 1999). However, other scholars have remained sceptical of using ethnicity as an explanatory variable. Martin Doornbos has strikingly captured this position as follows: ‘Ethnicity does not explain anything, it needs to be explained’ (Doornbos 1991: 19). While we take the view that ethnic groups and ethnic diversity can be important explanatory variables with regard to a range of social and economic phenomena, the concept of ethnicity faces a number of conceptual, measurement and practical problems and limitations which can potentially have a major impact on the validity of the research results. The paper aims to discuss these obstacles and propose different ways in order to address or at least minimize their potentially negative impact on research outcomes and results. The paper proceeds as follows. In Section 1 we will discuss different definitions and approaches to ethnicity. Section 2 discusses how ethnicity is generally operationalized in the quantitative literature, explores the tensions between these approaches and the theoretical perspectives on ethnicity highlighted in Section 1, and proposes an alternative conceptual framework for quantitative analyses which, we suggest, substantially overcomes these tensions. Section 3 presents and discusses a range of measures that can be used to quantify and compare the degree of ethnic diversity and disparity across different countries and societal contexts."

With the ability to leverage lower prices for everyday items, it is becoming a budgetary need for people from all backgrounds and income levels to use this retail giant to meet their needs. More than 50% of the annual business that Walmart receives comes from households that make $50,000 or less per year. Walmart Shopper Facts Although many people will criticize Walmart and encourage people not to shop there, the stark reality is that almost everyone shops at this retailer at least once per month. It isn’t just clothing or electronics that is drawing people of all income levels to the store either. Walmart is making a dramatic impact on the grocery business as well. For those shoppers who do in-store shopping at Walmart, only 19% of them will shop at the retail giant’s online store as well. 74% of these shoppers regularly use Amazon for their online needs. Only 18% of Amazon’s customers will also shop at Walmart for online needs. A majority of Walmart shoppers live in markets that contain fewer than 500k people."

After all, you don’t just own a smartphone. You own an i Phone! With its ability to listen to playlists, access social networks, and other socialization apps and features that are readily available, even the good camera in the i Phone makes it a tempting purchase. Many businesses use Apple products because they have a higher quality that makes them incredibly useful and reliable.

"text": "\"PRB Discuss Online: What Does 'Poverty' Really Mean in India? Facebook Share Tweet This Share Email Print (February 2012) The past few years have seen much hype regarding the economic progress in India, much of it extolling the country's \"\"rising incomes\"\" and \"\"exploding\"\" middle class. Entrepreneurs in the country seem to have believed this, resulting in an overbuilding of glitzy malls and the rapid expansion of the number of domestic airlines. Although there has been definite economic progress in India, who exactly benefits? The number of people living in poverty is often ignored. India's official poverty measure has long been this: People below the poverty line have a daily diet of less than 2,400 kilocalories in rural areas and less than 2,100 kilocalories in urban areas. What do measures of wealth such as \"\"middle class\"\" and \"\"poverty\"\" mean in India, compared to countries such as the United States or those in Europe? Estimates of the number of people in poverty in the country vary wildly, as Carl Haub wrote in a 2010 PRB web article with co-author O. P. Sharma, and even the slightest changes in the definition of poverty can change the number of the poor in India by millions. India is on track to become the world's largest country about 10 years from now, despite declining fertility. How will it manage the population growth in its very large and very poor states?"

Whitney. Located in the eastern Sierras of California, Mt. Whitney is the highest mountain in the continental US at 14,505 feet above sea level. I have no idea if I will make it to the top – but I will certainly do my best. I am an avid reader of non-fiction about places like Mt. Everest, but climbing it is something I never had the desire to do – in part because I don’t like the cold weather – but even more than that, the difficulty is simply astounding. I decided to attempt Mt. Whitney because a friend of mine from Esri invited me. I certainly couldn’t turn that down. And it isn’t as cold as Everest there. All of this had me thinking, of course, who are the hikers in the US – and where do they live?"

Here's the latest update:1. In your daily ratings breakdown, I always see the following information: \"\"The Office\"\" (7.30 million viewers, #8; adults 18-49: 3.7, #T3). What does it mean? Let's break it down piece by piece. In the example given for \"\"The Office,\"\" here's what each number signifies:total viewers (in millions) = 7.30 viewership rank (for the night) = #8 adults 18-49 rating = 3.7 adults 18-49 rank (for the night) = tied for #3The aforementioned data is mostly straightforward: 7.30 million people watched that night's episode of \"\"The Office\"\" live or on their DVRs before 3:00 AM ET (more on this in a second). Among viewers ages 18-49, it drew a 3.7 rating, meaning 3.7% of viewers in that age group watched said episode live or on their DVRs before 3:00 AM ET (also more on this in a second).2. Sometimes I see viewership denoted as something like 4.4/8. What does that mean? More than likely, you're looking at a show's household rating and share, not its actual viewership."

"text": "\"Demurrage is the cost associated with owning or holding currency over a given period. It is sometimes referred to as a carrying cost of money. For commodity money such as gold, demurrage is the cost of storing and securing the gold. For paper currency, it can take the form of a periodic tax, such as a stamp tax, on currency holdings. Demurrage is sometimes cited as economically advantageous, usually in the context of complementary currency systems. Contents [ hide ]1 Theory2 History3 Proceeds of the system4 Current examples5 See also6 References7 External links Theory [ edit]While demurrage is a natural feature of private commodity money, it has at various times been deliberately incorporated into currency systems as a disincentive to hoard money and to achieve other perceived benefits. In particular, for long-term investment financing, it affects the dynamics of net present value (NPV) calculations. Demurrage in a currency system reduces discount rates, and thus increases the present value of a long-term investment, and thus gives an incentive for such investments. [ 1]Unlike inflation, demurrage gradually reduces only the value of currency held: it functions as a negative interest (a tax) on currency held versus inflation that also reduces the value of savings or retirement funds and increases CPI. A positive interest rate is a subsidy."

"text": "Shipping Demurrage and Detention Charges Explained in Plain English Eli Dolgansky October 12, 2015 General, Shipping Guide 34 Comments First things first – What is demurrage? The basic definition of demurrage is simple – a fee leveraged on cargo that stays at a terminal too long. Port officials (as well as railroad and airport authorities) all have the ability to enforce demurrage charges. But this definition is deceptively straightforward. In practice, it can be difficult to understand when you should actually expect to see demurrage charges show up on your bill. So if you’re confused about the term and when it applies to you, don’t worry! Plenty of other shippers are in the same boat and we’ll do our best to clearly explain everything there is to know. As we saw, the definition of demurrage states, “cargo that stays at a terminal too long. ”But how long is too long? In other words, how much time do you have to move your cargo before demurrage kicks in?"

LCL means Less Container Load If a shipper does not have enough goods to accommodate in a fully loaded container, he arrange with a consolidator to book his cargo. This type of shipment is called LCL shipment. The said consolidator arranges a full container (FCL) with a main shipping carrier, and consoles the shipments of other shippers. Means the freight forwarder who books a full container accepts goods from different shippers and consolidates all such goods in to one container as a Fully Loaded Container – FCL. The freight forwarder sorts out these goods at destination or at transshipment points, meant for different consignees at different ports. Once after arrival of goods at destination the freight forwarder release goods meant for each consignee separately by collecting necessary charges if any."

"text": "\"CHARTERING ABBREVIATIONS TERMS & DEFINITIONSWe have compiled a list of some of the most frequently used abbreviations and definitions that you may come across. Frequently, parties to a contract are unaware of the different trading practices in their respective countries. This can give rise to costly misunderstandings and disputes. Sending goods from one country to another, as part of a commercial transaction, can be a risky business at the best of times. If the goods are lost, damaged, or if delivery does not take place for some reason, the climate of confidence between all interested parties may degenerate to the point where a lawsuit or arbitration is contemplated. If, when drawing up their contract, the buyer and seller specifically refer to one of the Incoterms or Charter Terms, they can be sure of clearly defining their respective responsibilities simply and safely. In so doing them greatly reduce the possibility of misunderstandings and subsequent disputes. We hope you will find this information both helpful and informative. If you require clarification on any aspect, or have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

( April 2018) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The Incoterms or International Commercial Terms are a series of pre-defined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) relating to international commercial law. They are widely used in international commercial transactions or procurement processes and their use is encouraged by trade councils, courts and international lawyers. [ 1] A series of three-letter trade terms related to common contractual sales practices, the Incoterms rules are intended primarily to clearly communicate the tasks, costs, and risks associated with the global or international transportation and delivery of goods. Incoterms inform sales contracts defining respective obligations, costs, and risks involved in the delivery of goods from the seller to the buyer, but they do not themselves conclude a contract, determine the price payable, currency or credit terms, govern contract law or define where title to goods transfers. The Incoterms rules are accepted by governments, legal authorities, and practitioners worldwide for the interpretation of most commonly used terms in international trade. They are intended to reduce or remove altogether uncertainties arising from different interpretation of the rules in different countries.

"text": "Detention and Demurrage – What’s the Difference? Importers and exporters often wonder what the difference is between Demurrage and Detention for shipping containers. The easiest way to look at the difference between the two terms is to break it down between import and export containers. Import Containers Demurrage Demurrage fees are charged when import containers are still full and under the control of the shipping line. In this situation, the container has not yet been picked up by the consignee, and the free time for pick up set by the ocean line has expired for the container. The free period starts when the container has been discharged from the vessel to the terminal. Demurrage charges are applied for storage of containers while in the steamship lines terminal, rail terminal, inland depot, or container yard. Demurrage is applied after the free time has expired, and ends the day when the container has been picked up and out gated from the terminal. Detention Detention occurs when the consignee holds onto the carrier’s container outside of the port, terminal, or depot beyond the free time that is allotted. Detention is charged when import containers have been picked up, but the container (regardless if it’s full or empty) is still in the possession of the consignee and has not been returned within the allotted time."

IGST means Integrated Goods and Service Tax, one of the three categories under Goods and Service Tax (CGST, IGST and SGST) with a concept of one tax one nation. IGST falls under Integrated Goods and Service Tax Act 2016. IGST is charged when movement of goods and services from one state to another. For example, if goods are moved from Tamil Nadu to Kerala, IGST is levied on such goods. The revenue out of IGST is shared by state government and central government as per the rates fixed by the authorities. As per GST Law: Under the GST regime, an Integrated GST (IGST) would be levied and collected by the Centre on inter-State supply of goods and services. Under Article 269A of the Constitution, the GST on supplies in the course of inter State trade or commerce shall be levied and collected by the Government of India and such tax shall be apportioned between the Union and the States in the manner as may be provided by Parliament by law on the recommendations of the Goods and Services Tax Council.

"text": "Demurrage vs Detention Submitted by K. Candice Talleur on Mon, 08/27/2012 - 14:57There are many shipping terms that even people within the shipping industry have had trouble with at one time or another. “ Is this demurrage or detention?” seems to be high on the list of terms that are confused. Many times these terms are used interchangeably by people who are not sure of the actual difference. While both are related to storage, they both represent two different areas of shipping charges. In easy terms, demurrage is when a shipping container is unloaded from the ship and not picked up right away. If the free time is seven days and the container is still being stored at the port, the shipping line will charge additional demurrage. It could also be stored rail terminal, feeder terminal, inland depot or container yard depending on the line used. Detention on the other hand, is after the container has been picked up at the port and delivered, but the empty container has been detained and not returned within the allowed free time. This can be split into two types of deliveries."

"text": "What is 'Delivered At Place (DAP)'Delivered at place (DAP) is an international trade term used to describe a deal in which a seller agrees to pay all costs and suffer any potential losses of moving goods sold to a specific location. A delivered at place agreement is applicable for any form, or combination of forms, of transportation and usually lists the point at which the buyer takes on financial responsibilities, for example, “Delivered at place, port of Oakland.” In delivered at place agreements, the buyer is responsible for paying import duties and any applicable taxes, including clearance and local taxes, once the shipment has arrived at the specified destination. Next Up Free Carrier - FCACost, Insurance and Freight - CIFEx Works (EXW)Free Alongside - FASBREAKING DOWN 'Delivered At Place (DAP)'Delivered at place simply means that the seller takes on all the risks and costs of delivering goods to an agreed-upon location. This means the seller is responsible for everything, including packaging, documentation, export approval, loading charges and ultimate delivery. The buyer, in turn, takes over risk and responsibility as of the unloading of the goods and clearing them for import. Delivered at Place Disputes Even with the clear guidelines for DAP arrangements, there are still situations that result in disputes, such as when the carrier of the goods incurs demurrage — a charge for failing to unload in time — as a result of not receiving the proper clearance from one of the parties. In these cases, fault usually lies with whichever party was amiss in providing timely documentation, but determining that can be difficult, as documentation requirements are defined by the national and local authorities controlling ports and vary from country to country. Long story short, international trade law can be complex even with the benefit of defined contract terms. DAP and Other Incoterms Delivered at place is an international trade term that was introduced in the International Chamber of Commerce's (ICC) 8th publication of it's Incoterms — international commercial terms — in 2010."

"text": "\"DENMARKIntroduction Although a small country, both in population (5.3 million) and in geographical size (43 094 sq. km), Denmark has become one of the pioneers in promoting organic agriculture, and in producing and marketing organic food and beverages. The rapid development of the sector throughout most of the 1990s is a result of strong cooperation among three parties, i.e. Government authorities, farmers and the retail trade, in particular Co-op Denmark (FDB), which have all been working towards a common goal. In 1993, FDB made a policy decision to drastically lower the retail prices of organic products, which enormously stimulated sales. In 1995, the Government issued an Action Plan for the Advancement of Organic Food Production in Denmark, of which most of the recommendations have been implemented. In January 1999, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries published Action Plan II (prepared by the Organic Foods Council) to support organic development during the period 1999-2003. It provides policy guidelines and recommendations on organic farming (e.g. conversion), product and quality development, marketing and distribution, export marketing, training, research, etc. It is also significant that a number of organizations have been founded over the years to promote organic farming, food production and trade, including: Danish Association for Organic Farming (LØJ) in 1981; The Organic Foods Council (set up by the Government) in 1987; the Organic Service Centre (ØLC) in 1992; and the Danish Organic Trade Association in 1998. The latter is an association of suppliers and processors of organic food and beverages with the purpose of promoting sales of organic products, benefiting both domestic and foreign producers.1. Organic farming in Denmark During the five-year period 1996-2000, organic farmland, including fully converted and \"\"under conversion\"\" land, increased from 46 171 hectares (of which 20 193 ha were fully converted) to 165 258 hectares (of which 93 354 ha were fully converted)."

The emperor was an elected ruler who presided, with more prestige than authority, over a rather bewildering array of states of various sizes, composition, and levels of political importance. Some were great secular and ecclesiastical principalities, such as the electoral states. Effective political power resided in these states, as also in the imperial free cities, so-called because they owed allegiance to the emperor alone. The prosperous merchants, bankers, and industrialists in these cities, of whom the Fuggers of Augsburg were the most spectacular example, were a growing force in their own right. Other groups within the empire were less well off. The imperial knights were nobles subject only to the emperor, but as holders of only small territorial units, they were in decay economically, unable to keep pace with the demands of the times and increasingly desperate. Ulrich von Hutten, already referred to in our discussion of German humanism, was one of these knights. Some of them resorted to robbery of merchants to maintain their position."

"text": "\"Why Is Denmark the Happiest Country in the World? The answer is to be found in its politics. Posted Nov 08, 2015SHARETWEETEMAILMORESource: courtesy of movdata Denmark has received an enormous amount of international attention in recent years. The reason is not hard to understand: as more and more popular attention is focused on the study of human happiness, Denmark’s status as the most likely candidate for the title of the single happiest country in the world naturally invites attention to it as a potential role model. One recent manifestation of this phenomenon was in a recent Democratic Party debate, in which Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders discussed Denmark in precisely these terms. Their exchange prompted a minor media tsunami (e.g. Time, CNBC, Washington Post, Slate, The National Review, to name just a few) attempting to explain “why Denmark?” What, they asked, makes Denmark so special? What, in particular, makes the Danes so satisfied with their lives? From the point of view of the scholarly literature on happiness, the answer is very clear: Denmark is a paragon of the “social democratic” approach to public policy. While there are doubtless cultural and social features of the country that contribute to its high quality of life, the most important reasons are the two distinguishing characteristics of social democracy: progressive public policies and a strong labor movement."

Dan would judge, or stand up to rule, his own people as one of the separate tribes of Israel--indicating he would gain self-government in the following manner: \"\"Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a horned snake in the part, that biteth the horse's heels, so that his rider falleth, backward.\"\" Ireland has done just that to England. In fact, the symbol of the illegal Irish Republican Army was the coiled snake!Dan would also be like a young lion leaping forth, an apt description of Denmark which acquired the Virgin Islands, Greenland, Iceland and other islands in her heyday.

The resources in existence in Denmark's underground include clay, gravel, oil, natural gas, limestone, and chalk. Danish companies, as well as global firms, are involved in the extraction of Denmark's natural resources. Oil And Natural Gas The discovery oil together with natural gas in the Danish territory of the North Sea was a huge relief for the country which had previously depended on imported petroleum. The local industry in collaboration with the state developed the oil and gas fields to commence major productions in 1984. By 1997, Denmark had achieved self-sufficiency in the two resources."

Is there a place where people facing the daily grind of life are somehow nudged by their surroundings or their values or their government into being the happiest people on the planet? You might expect that place would be a tropical paradise with warm sand and soft breezes. Or a Mediterranean village with sun-kissed vineyards. Or the United States -- land of the free and home of the brave. But if you use social science techniques, you'll find some surprises. A paradise like Fiji comes in more than 50 spots below Iceland in happiness rankings. For all its style and cuisine, France and Italy rank well below Canada.

The American actor Edwin Booth as Hamlet, ca. 1870The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet ( / ˈ h æ m l ɪ t / ), is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare at an uncertain date between 1599 and 1602. Set in Denmark, the play dramatises the revenge Prince Hamlet is called to wreak upon his uncle, Claudius, by the ghost of Hamlet's father, King Hamlet. Claudius had murdered his own brother and seized the throne, also marrying his deceased brother's widow. Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play, and is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of \"\"seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others\"\". [ 1] It was probably one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime, [2] and still ranks among his most performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879. [ 3] It has inspired many other writers—from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charles Dickens to James Joyce and Iris Murdoch —and has been described as \"\"the world's most filmed story after Cinderella \"\". [ 4]The story of Shakespeare's Hamlet was derived from the legend of Amleth, preserved by 13th-century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum, as subsequently retold by the 16th-century scholar François de Belleforest."

When I saw they were charging interest I complained and they said will check the recording. That turned out to be another of three inaccurate statements, also counting when they recently did a credit check for nothing as I did not request a higher limit, which hurt my score. So after promising to check the recording to verify if what I asserted was true, they then said they only keep the recordings for 30 days and so my assertion was invalid, and they would go with the written offer to include only purchases. They had verbally assured me that I could use the check and it would be included in the offer, and I foolishly believed their verbal advice. How convenient that they choose to erase the evidence of their mistake so they said they would not have to honor their word, even after I gave many details of conversations about it over many hour-long calls. If you are anything promised by this company, don't act on it unless you have the phone rep send it to you in writing first, as regardless of how many years your been a good customer they will not honor their word and have found a way to effectively do a bait and switch by erasing any proof of a promise that shows they made an error. If they really cared about their customers they would keep the recordings for at least 12 months to honor their promises. Is storage capacity really such an issue in this day and age?! No of course not, so this is a corporate decision that has been made to abuse their loyal customers."

By Peter Van Valkenburgh / December 12, 2017The SEC’s settlement with Munchee is an important milestone in the young history of token law, because it begins to challenge the naive version of the utility token argument and shows us how the SEC is drawing a clearer line between useful digital commodities and speculative investment tokens. Previous SEC actions can be summarized as follows:21 (a) Investigative Report on the DAO: Some token sales fit our definition of securities issuance. The applicable test is the howey test for an “investment contract. ”Authors of smart contract code and special functionary participants within smart contracts may be sufficiently important to the realization of expected profits that they are promoters or issuers. The DAO was sold as a profit-making investment. Secondary markets trading DAO and DAO-like tokens must be registered alternative trading systems or national securities exchanges or else they are also in violation of Federal securities laws. Zaslavskiy Enforcement Action (Diamond and Real Estate backed coins)It is securities fraud to sell tokens that are advertised as being asset-backed, if— in reality—there are no assets. Statement on Celebrity Endorsements Celebrities or others who advertise token sales but do not make necessary compensation disclosures are violating anti-touting provisions, and may also be unregistered promoters. One thing not discussed in any of those actions is whether the usefulness or commercial purpose of a particular token saves it from being classified as a security."

When does the ownership of a joint bank account change?"

"text": "Banking and Loans Certificates of Deposit How CD Maturities Work Manage Your CD Maturity Share Flip Pin Email•••By Justin Pritchard Updated September 10, 2017A CD’s maturity date is the date when you can take your money out of the CD without paying any early withdrawal penalties. The CD’s term has ended, so the restrictions are lifted – but you’ll no longer earn the same amount of interest that you were earning on that money (which might be a good or bad thing, depending on what rates have done since you bought the CD). Maturity Overview When you buy a CD, the bank promises to pay you a fixed rate of interest for a given term (the term is simply the length of time that the CD lasts). CDs generally pay higher interest rates than the rate paid on savings accounts because you've promised to keep your money locked up for a certain amount of time. For example, the bank might offer to pay you 3% for a one-year CD, while savings accounts only pay 2.25%. After the year is over (at maturity), the deal ends – you can take your money, and they’ don’t have to pay you 3% any longer. How Long does it Take for a CD to Mature? You get to choose how long your CD lasts. When you “buy” a CD (or put money into it), you choose the maturity date. Common choices include: Three months Six months One year18 months Five years The maturity date is often part of the CD’s name."

"text": "Do I still have financial power of attorney after the death of my mother?12 answers | Last updated: Jun 29, 2017A fellow caregiver asked... I had power of attorney over my mother and her bank accounts when she was alive. Now that she has passed away, I'm trying to obtain the bank statements to determine suspect activity by a sibling. Do I still have power of attorney after death, and a right to view those statements? How long does POA last after death? Expert Answers Barbara Repa, a Caring.com senior editor, is an attorney, a journalist specializing in aging issues, and the author of Your Rights in the Workplace (Nolo), now in its 10th edition. Your power in the power of attorney ended when your mother died. And banks have slightly different policies about who they will allow to get access to a deceased person's account. If the bank has no separate authority to give you access -- for example, your name with on the account as a joint owned or you are listed as an authorized signator -- then many of them will allow only an executor of a will to access the accounts. To accomplish this, the executor must present bank officials with a formal legal document usually called Letters Testamentary that the probate court issues. Other banks will allow access if you are able to present a notarized Affidavit of Assumption of Duties, which is a simple statement giving date of death, accompanied by a death certificate."

"text": "\"About Financial Records and Which Financial Records to Savewritten by: Jean Scheid •edited by: Jason C. Chavis•updated: 6/7/2010Do you know the definition of financial records? What are the different types of financial records and how long should you keep them? Often, many of us too soon throw away financial records in haste and then find out we really need them. Jean Scheid takes a look at what they are and tips on saving. What Are Financial Records? I truly believe that some of us (like my husband) have every pay stub and tax return from the time they first got a job or filed an income tax return. In fact, some of us even save home utility bills or other monthly expense records long after they’re needed. To answer the question what is the definition of financial records, think of all transaction information, whether it be in paper or electronic format, that involves your money or investments as a financial record. For example, this can mean paychecks you receive, investments you make such as CDs, stocks, bonds or annuities. Your retirement plans and even checking and savings bank records also involve you and your money—past, current, and future, so they are also considered financial records."

"text": "In accounting, cash includes coins; currency; undeposited negotiable instruments such as checks, bank drafts, and money orders; amounts in checking and savings accounts; and demand certificates of deposit. A certificate of deposit (CD) is an interest-bearing deposit that can be withdrawn from a bank at will (demand CD) or at a fixed maturity date (time CD). Only demand CDs that may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty are included in cash. Cash does not include postage stamps, IOUs, time CDs, or notes receivable. Most companies use checking accounts to handle their cash transactions. The company deposits its cash receipts in a bank checking account and writes checks to pay its bills. Keep in mind, a bank account is an asset to the company BUT to the bank your account is a liability because the bank owes the money in your bank account to you. For this reason, in your bank account, deposits are credits (remember, liabilities increase with a credit) and checks and other reductions are debits (liabilities decrease with a debit). The bank sends the company a statement each month. The company checks this statement against its records to determine if it must make any corrections or adjustments in either the company’s balance or the bank’s balance."

Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. ( July 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Depiction is reference conveyed through pictures. Basically a picture refers to its object through a non-linguistic two-dimensional scheme. A picture is not writing or notation. A depictive two-dimensional scheme is called a picture plane and may be constructed according to descriptive geometry where they are usually divided between projections (orthogonal and various oblique angles) and perspectives (according to number of vanishing points). Pictures are made with various materials and techniques, such as painting, drawing, or prints (including photography and movies) mosaics, tapestries, stained glass, and collages of unusual and disparate elements. Occasionally, picture-like features may be recognised in simple inkblots, accidental stains, peculiar clouds or a glimpse of the moon, but these are special cases, and it is controversial whether they count as genuine instances of depiction. [ 1] Similarly, sculpture and theatrical performances are sometimes said to depict, but this requires a broad understanding of 'depict', as simply designating a form of representation that is not linguistic or notational. The bulk of studies of depiction however deal only with pictures."

Post Scripts.org for online PDF illustrations in Chart section‘Then another Sign appeared in Heaven: a huge Red Dragon with 7 heads, 1o horns, and 7 royal crowns on his heads. His tail swept a .33 of the stars from the sky, tossing them to the Earth. And the Dragon stood before the Woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her child as soon as He was born.’ – Revelation 12:3-5Nemesis is believed to have a ‘comet’ like elliptical orbit. Based on some models, this 2 ndsun has been coming from the region of Centaurus and from under the Ecliptic. It is supposed to have a counter-clockwise direction from the rest of the planets in the Solar System. Zecharia Sitchin was the first to present the thesis that this Nemesis 2nd sun has a comet-like elliptical orbit around the Sun because it is a binary system of stars. The frequency Sitchin determined was that of a 3600 year or 1 Shar duration. Other researchers more recently like that of Gill Broussard has proposed an alternative but compelling orbit of approximately 360 years."

"text": "\"Ancient Egyptian Symbolism, The Forms and Functionsby John Watson In Egyptian culture the more important and frequently encountered aspects of visual symbolism are form, hieroglyphs, relative size, location, material, color number, action and gesture. However, symbolism in ancient Egypt is a very complex topic that, from one Egyptologist to the next, can have different connotations. Certainly, we have some obvious examples of symbolism, but as we delve deeper into the intricacies of symbolism, there is less clarity. On the other hand, any investigation of this topic is an expedition into the ancient Egyptian mind, and the study of symbolism adds much to our understanding of ancient Egypt. Form Egyptian art utilizes form symbolism at two levels, which may be said to be primary and secondary, or direct and indirect types of association. At the first level, objects are shown in the forms they are meant to represent and gain symbolic significance through association and context. An example of this is the djed pillar as a symbol of support. At the secondary level, symbolic associations occurs when significant forms are represented indirectly, as in the case of the clenched-hand amulets which represent sexual union. In many cases, images that are widely disparate in form may actually relate to the same underlying symbolic theme. Conversely, even small modifications of form may result in significant changes in the symbolic meaning."

"text": "Are there any limits to free speech in the United States? Answered by: Bernard,An Expert in the Your Rights Category What are the limits to free speech? Under the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, the right of free speech is broad and guaranteed to all. This Amendment prohibits the federal government from abridging this right, and the U. S. Supreme Court in modern times has interpreted the First Amendment as also limiting the ability of state and local governments to regulate speech expression. At the same time, the courts have interpreted the meaning of free speech in a manner that allows government to regulate and limit free speech in a variety of ways. First, certain kinds of contents has been ruled to have either more limited protection, or in some cases, no protection at all. Among unprotected categories of speech are pornography (obscenity), child pornography, “fighting words,” and incitement to imminent violent action, such as threats to kill an individual. Pornography, while difficult to define, essentially involves expression designed to appeal to an individual’s sexual arousal, without redeeming social, artistic, political, literary, or scientific value. Additionally, the legal test for what is obscene, and therefore can be prohibited, is based on contemporary standards in a local community, which is a troubling standard to apply today, when adult material is distributed worldwide via the Internet. Child pornography can be outlawed regardless of its particular content or supposed literary merit, because it involves the depiction of sexual acts by a child."

"text": "\"Native American (Indian) Symbols Apache Indian Symbols\"\" Apaches were among the first Native Americans to ride horses into battle. In preparation, a warrior would decorate his horse to reflect his personal honors such as enemies killed or horses stolen. \"\" A left hand drawn on the horse's right hip was one of the highest honors for a horse, earned by returning its rider from battle unharmed. Other symbols such as arrowheads and thunder stripes would augment the horse's natural ability and maximize its effectiveness against the enemy. The most sacred of all symbols in all Native American cultures is the circle, however, which for the Apache is most potently embodied in its chief symbol, the sacred hoop. Called 'Dee' or 'Ndee,' the Apache hoop contains special powers that make it useful in a variety of ceremonies, although it is generally associated with healing and protection. The hoop is divided into four sections, traditionally by the tying of an eagle feather, symbolizing the four directions and the four seasons. Like most traditional Apache symbols, the hoop is usually one of the four sacred colors: black, green, yellow or white.\"\" About Apache Indian Symbols We have all seen Indian symbols used decoratively and symbolically. Just what do these Indian symbols depict?"

"text": "\"The one big reason that ‘common design’ is a bad argument for creationism March 17, 2014 Culture, Latest Developments, Science, Theology, Uncategorized 48 Comments One of the strongest and most broadly observable planks of evidence for evolution by common descent rests in the homology — a fancy, five-dollar word for “similarity” — observed in the animal kingdom, both in comparative anatomy and genetics. In basic terms, the theory of evolution depends on similarities. It predicts that species branch off from common ancestors, but because this occurs through a slow, gradual process, we should observe a vast number of similar traits — both genetically and anatomically — in closely related species (i.e., ones that branched off more recently), such as chimpanzees and humans. Evolution works too slowly for large numbers of traits to be changed simultaneously at a branching event. A fish will never beget a chicken; these things take time. So scientists look for commonalities; they find the stem that leads back to the stalk that leads back to the twig that leads back to the stick that leads back to the branch that, eventually, takes them all the way back to the tree. If we did not find such similarities between closely related species, it would falsify evolution immediately. But, of course, we do. For example, humans share almost 100 percent of our bone structure, and roughly 96 percent of our genome, with chimps. That’s a pretty high degree of homology."

Handwriting analysis has been used since the 17th century and handwriting is like your fingerprint, no two people have the same style and there are no distinguishing characteristics to tell if the writer is male or female as handwriting is gender neutral, age also cannot be gauged by someone’s handwriting. Handwriting analysis is used to detect the character of a person and is used by some companies as part of an interview and hiring process, in fact I read of one lady who became a graphologist after being turned down at a job interview, because of her handwriting. It is also used by the police force, especially as people can attempt to forge handwriting or a signature. A person’s character, as well as their mental health can be deciphered during a handwriting analysis. As you write you are placing your subconscious down on paper, your frame of mind, your health, your mental and psychological wellbeing, all show up in your handwriting, it is a window to your inner workings. No two writing styles are the same, each person has a style of writing that is peculiar to them and their personality type. Before making any type of assessment you need more than one or two factors. Handwriting can reveal personality with great accuracy, it can reveal whether you are a clear thinker, or aggressive, whether you are a follower or a leader, an introvert or extrovert and so on. Zones: Your handwriting moves along and it moves up and down."

However, much of what we know about them today we owe to the symbols they left behind. Ancient Celts had no written words, but they depicted in their symbols a deep reverence for nature, the universe, the world around them and their relationship with everything and one another. The advent of Roman invasions and persecution caused these ancient people to scatter and settle in distant lands. Over time they were converted to Christianity and many of the ancient beliefs and practices were all but lost. However, Christianity itself took on many of their symbols and attributed their own meanings. Even though there is tangible evidence of pagan symbolism what is known comes mostly from mythology and folklore. Celtic symbology and Celtic symbols with meaning are today a source of much debate worldwide."

"text": "Sexualization: The Power of a Word04 Jun, 2012 21Recently, for my English class we had to write an essay about the “Power of a Word.” While a lot of my other friends were writing about words like “Hope” and “Love,” I wrote about “Sexualization.” Since I’m really passionate about SPARK and feminism, I figured writing about it would be easy, plus maybe I would be able to educate some of my classmates. While I was writing it I realized that it had been such a long time since I really stopped and looked at what I was fighting against. I think I had taken for granted that everyone knew what sexualization was and why it was wrong. But in light of our recent media attraction and seeing how many parents and girls asked what exactly was wrong with sexualization, I realized just how important it is to go back to the beginning. Hopefully with this blog I can help remind some people (who might not necessarily need reminding) and teach some people who might actually need teaching. Because while sexualization is nothing new to us here at SPARK, sometimes it’s nice to have a refresher course. Lets get technical, shall we? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, sexualization is a derivative of the verb “to sexualize,” which means to “make sexual; attribute sex or sex role to.”"

UNICORN: To many New Agers, it means power, purification, healing, wisdom, self-knowledge, renewal and eternal life. Origin: In the 4th century BC, Greek historian Ctesias told about a wild animal with healing powers and a spiral horn on its forehead. Medieval myths suggested it could only be caught with help from a virgin who would befriend it. and The unicorn is a legendary creature usually depicted with the body of a horse, but with a single – usually spiral – horn growing out of its forehead (hence its name – cornus being Latin for 'horn').

Despite its popularity now, it has not always enjoyed the kind of limelight it owns today. People from the previous generation regarded tattooing to be connotative, and thus quite unacceptable. Deciding to get inked may be caused by different factors. For some, it is an expression of one’s spiritual views and for others, a symbol of pride for one’s heritage. Generally, they are drawn on the skin to convey messages the tattooed person wants to express. This can range from signs of harmony, strength, and love. Additionally, tattoos are used to communicate meanings permanently. The exquisite designs display messages without the need for verbal expressions.

Degner, Board-certified Veterinary Surgeon (DACVS)Key Points The most common condition requiring bulla osteotomy is inflammatory polyps in cats Clinical signs vary, but usually include discharge from the ear and scratching at the ear Bulla osteotomy involves opening the middle ear to remove the offending polyp Prognosis usually is good following surgery Definition of Bulla Bulla = tympanic bulla = middle ear cavity Anatomy of the ear Ear flap (F)Ear canal (C)Ear drum (D) or tympanic membrane - which separates the ear canal from the bulla Middle ear - bulla (B)Auditory tube (A) - is a tube that connects the bulla to the back of the throat Inner ear (I) - contains the hearing apparatus (trochlea) and the balance organ (vestibular canals)The illustration below left is a cross section through the head showing the components of the ear;The illustration below right is of a magnified view of the bulla, with the thatched area representing the portion of bone that is removed during a ventral bulla osteotomy surgery Signs of a diseased middle ear cavity (bulla) and inner ear Scratching or rubbing the ear Discharge coming out of the ear Vestibular signs Tilting of the head toward the affected earwalking in circles toward the affected earnystagnus - eyes shift back and forthincoordination or inability to walk Horner's syndromethird eyelid covers eyepupil becomes smaller than the opposite normal eyeslight drooping of the upper eyelid Facial nerve paralysis is uncommon with middle ear problems, but occasionally is seen in dogssagging of lips and face on side affecteddrooling from affected side due to lack of control of lipsinability to blink eye on affected side Malaise Loss of appetite Pain upon opening the mouth - due to inflammation of the joint of the jaw (TMJ)Breathing difficulty or snorting due todischarge draining into the back of the throat via the auditory tubeextension of a polyp from the the middle ear into the back of the throat Potential disease conditions in the bulla Inflammatory polyps - most common in cats Cancer Infection Foreign body Inflammatory polyps in cats Cause is unknown, but may be associated with chronic recurrent upper respiratory infections Feline leukemia virus or Feline Immunodeficiency virus may suppress the immune system, resulting in chronic infection that leads to polyp formation Ear polyps are commonly found in the younger cats, malignant tumors are more common in older cats A polyp is rooted in the middle ear cavity and grows until it ruptures the ear drum, then it continues to grow out of the ear canal Some inflammatory polyps will grow through the Eustachian tube (auditory tube) and appear as a mass in the back of the throat Removal of the polyp by plucking it out of the ear canal is about 50% successful when medications (oral - Baytril and Dexamethasone, and ear drops - Baytril and Synotic) are also administered Ventral bulla osteotomy is a more successful procedure, as the entire polyp can be removed more completely Below is a view down the ear canal of a cat that has a polyp (pink mass) that is penetrating through the ear drum Diagnostic tests Blood work - Complete Blood Cell Count and Chemistry Profile Cats only - Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus tests Culture of fluid from the ear or bulla Biopsy of tumor if present Radiographs (x-rays) of the bulla CT scan of the bulla is the most diagnostic test to see the internal structure of the bulla and extent of tumor invasion Surgery An incision is made on the under side of the neck, just behind the jaw bone The bulla is exposed and is opened If only infection is present, the lining of the bulla is removed and the area is flushed with saline solution If present, the tumor or polyp is moved In the photo below, a white inflammatory polyp is being removed from the middle ear of a cat Below is a photo of a large polyp that was removed from the middle ear cavity in a cat Potential complications after surgery Cats Recurrence of inflammatory polyp - 80% cure rate with surgery Vestibular signs - uncommon and usually resolves with time Facial nerve paralysis - uncommon Persistent infection About 80% of cats develop Horner's syndrome after the surgerythis can occur following removal of a nasal pharyngeal polyp, removal of a polyp from the ear canal, or removal of a polyp via ventral bulla osteotomy In the photo below, this cat has signs of Horner's syndrome immediately following surgery; take note of the prolapsed third eyelid (white membrane covering the cat's right eye); this problem usually resolves in about 30 days The photo below was taken 24 hours after surgery demonstrating that the Horner's syndrome has almost completely resolved (minor prolapse of the third eyelid and slightly smaller pupil in the right eye)Dogs Same potential complications as cats, but Horner's syndrome is uncommon Dogs that already have vestibular signs, such as a head tilt may have permanent damage to the balance organ, and surgery may not correct this problem; the goal of this surgery is to relieve the infection so that the equilibrium (sense of balance) does not get so bad that the dog is unable to walk Frequently Asked Questions After Surgery When should my dog have the first bowel movement after surgery? Many dogs will not have a bowel movement for the first 4 to 5 days after surgery Reasons that a dog will not have regular bowel movements after surgery include: The dog has been fasted prior to surgery Dogs do not eat well during the hospital stay They frequently do not eat well when they go home They are fed highly digestible food that produces little stool Pain medication that contain narcotics (such as morphine, fentanyl patches, and tramadol) can be constipating If a pet does not have a bowel movement on the 5th day of being home, a stool softener such as metamucil can be fed Dose of metamucil is 1 tsp per 25 Kg mixed in with each meal (canned dog food); feed immediately after mixing, as the metamucil will gel the food and may make it less palatable My pet had surgery and will not eat. What can be done? Dogs Most pets will not eat their regular dog food after surgery, especially if it is kibble. Offer a cooked diet having a 1:1 ratio of a protein source and carbohydrate source. The protein source can be any meat (example: chicken breast, turkey breast, lean hamburger) that is low in fat and should be cooked (drain off all fat after the meat has been cooked). The carbohydrate can be pasta, potato or white rice. Try canned dog food; to enhance the flavor sprinkle a very small amount of garlic powder or chicken or beef broth (Chicken-in-a- Mug TM or Beef-in-a-Mug TM products)Try Gerber strained meats for babies such as the chicken, beef, turkey, or veal Try Hill's A/D diet available at most veterinary hospitals Hand feeding: place a small amount of food in the mouth so that your dog gets the flavor Warm the food slightly in a microwave, as the food will be more aromatic; stir the food before feeding and test the temperature on the bottom side of your wrist; it should only be luke warm. Remember that most pets will not eat the first day or two after they get home from surgery Cats Offer smelly foods that contain fish such as tuna or smelly cat foods Try Gerber strained meats for babies such as the chicken, beef, turkey or veal Hand feeding: with your finger place a small amount of food on the roof of your cat's mouth; use a syringe to get soft food into the mouth Warm the food slightly in a microwave as the food will be more aromatic; remember to stir the food before feeding and test the temperature; it should be only luke-warm Some cats will only eat dry food, try kibble if your cat normally has been fed that food Petting and stroking your cat frequently will help to stimulate appetite Remember that most pets will not eat the first day or two after they get home from surgery Appetite stimulants such as cyproheptadine may be helpful If your cat refuses to eat anything for 7 days a stomach tube or nasogastric tube should be placed to provide nutrition so that a serious liver problem (hepatic lipidosis) does not develop My pet is vomiting."

Last month I took him to the vet for his Senior Blood Panel work-up and found out that he has Arhtritis and Hypothyroid Disease. Since his visit, he has been medicated with the Thyroid meds and Rimadyl (anti-iflammatory). The Rimadyl is quite expensive and he does so well on it so when it was time for a re-fill I had asked the Vet if there was a less expensive ant-inflammatory he could take that was close to the Rimadyl. She said no. Instead she prescribed my Dog Tramadol along with the Rimadyl. She said that by giving him the Tramadol on a daily basis, he would only need 1/2 a tablet of the Rimadyl daily. I questioned her about this and she reassured me that he would do well."

By: Kara Mc Carty El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011Prednisone usually causes diarrhea because it irritates the gastrointestinal tract. In this case Metronidazole may not help. Prednisone can also suppress the immune system such that the bacteria in the intestinal tract can change and lead to diarrhea in which case Metronidazole may be helpful treating the secondary bacterial overgrowth. If your dog seems fine other than diarrhea Metronidazole will not hurt your dog in this case so you can try dosing her for a couple days and see if it helps. You can also try a bland diet. A good homemade bland diet is boiled hamburger and rice in a 50:50 proportion. Boil chunks of hamburger until it's fully cooked (about 10 minutes, until there's no pink in the middle), drain all fat and juices off, and then mix with plain boiled white rice. Feed 1/4 cup per 10 pounds of dog at each meal. If she starts vomiting, becomes lethargic or her diarrhea worsens contact your veterinarian."

"text": "Dog Toxins Dog Health & Wellness Aspirin and Your Dog: Only With Vet Approval By Janet Tobiassen Crosby, DVMUpdated 04/01/18Share Pin Email Braun S/Getty Images When your dog is in pain, you naturally want to help by providing medication to make it go away. However, providing your pet with human medications (like aspirin and acetaminophen) can cause more problems than it can cure. Avoid giving your dog pain relievers unless recommended by your veterinarian. It's important not to just give your dog a drug because they're not acting normal. Even if your dog is in pain, you may not know what exactly is causing the problem. To get to the root of the issue, you want to bring your dog to the vet. This will help clarify exactly what's going on and where the pain is coming from. Aspirin and Your Dog Although aspirin is sometimes used for dogs, it's often for specifically easing the pain of arthritis. Even then, it's only provided with caution and veterinary supervision. This is because drugs that contain acetaminophen (like Tylenol) are very toxic to pets, and are potentially fatal to both dogs and other animals, like cats."

"text": "“My dog is shaking. What’s wrong with him?” is the kind of question veterinarians dread because trembling has a large number of possible causes in dogs. Since it is such a nonspecific symptom, there is no way to accurately diagnose the dog in question without a lot more information. [ FREE DOWNLOAD] BE PREPARED - THE CANINE EMERGENCY HANDBOOKTo figure out the cause of a dog shaking uncontrollably, it is important to know when the shaking occurs, any other symptoms the dog has and what parts of the body are trembling. See the list below to learn more about common causes of shaking in dogs and potential treatments. EXCITEMENT, FEAR AND ANXIETYWhen dogs are fearful, anxious or excited, their adrenal glands release adrenaline to prepare their bodies to escape from or deal with the situation causing the excitement. Adrenaline release often produces trembling. In an agitated dog, trembling typically resolves soon after the dog is removed from the stressful or exciting situation. Situations that commonly produce fear or excitement-related trembling in dogs include veterinary visits, meeting strangers, loud noises, storms, their owners returning home, preparations for walks or car rides, feeding time and others."

"text": "Frequently asked questions (FAQs)FAQs for dog owners1. How long should my dog take METACAM? Your veterinarian will recommend a treatment plan and may suggest that your dog try METACAM for a specific period of time. Your veterinarian may ask you to report back or return with your dog for a follow-up evaluation to determine if treatment should continue. Just like people who have osteoarthritis, your dog will likely have to live with this condition for the rest of his life. You can feel comfortable giving METACAM knowing that it has been safely used to treat dogs with osteoarthritis around the world for over 20 years.2. How does METACAM work? METACAM targets and relieves both the pain and inflammation caused by osteoarthritis. Relief from arthritis pain can help restore mobility, allowing your dog to return to many of the activities that you both previously enjoyed. Best of all, it can be given once daily, which provides a full 24 hours of relief.3."

"text": "\"A decade ago, few medications were available to treat dogs in pain at home. Dogs were spayed or neutered at the animal hospital, stitched up, and sent home without pain medication. And dogs with painful arthritis limped along without medications that were safe and effective for long-term use. Today, a new generation of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is bringing relief to millions of dogs with arthritis, joint problems, or with pain after surgery. \"\" NSAIDs are extremely effective for controlling pain and inflammation in dogs,\"\" says Stephen F. Sundlof, D. V. M., Ph.

"title": "http://www.veterinaryplace.com/dog-medicine/rimadyl-for-dogs/\nRimadyl For Dogs",
"text": "Rimadyl For Dogs Rimadyl (®) (carprofen) is a medicine created specifically for treating dogs with osteoarthritis. Much like Previcox, it is an NSAID, and it produces its effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX). The two forms of cyclooxygenase, COX-1 and COX-2, have different roles in the body – COX-1 is involved with the function of the kidneys and platelets, while COX-2 is mainly involved in the inflammatory response. Because COX-1 is important in the body, and because the main goal when treating arthritis is to reduce inflammation, medicines which spare COX-1 while inhibiting COX-2 are preferred. Rimadyl is thought to be more sparing of COX-1 at therapeutic doses which means dogs are less likely to experience problems with the kidneys, platelets or stomach than with some of the older generation cyclooxygenase inhibitors. Despite the more selective inhibition of COX-2, carprofen still has the potential to cause side effects, particularly in senior dogs, and should not be given to those with liver or kidney disease. Because of the risk (though rare in healthy dogs) of bad reactions which can lead to death in the most severe cases, we recommend trying natural remedies and supplements before resorting to treatment with this medicine. Safer Alternative Rimadyl has been associated with a number of dangerous side effects including death. To treat arthritis naturally and avoid putting your dog at risk, try Arthro-Ionx, a safe and effective remedy for arthritis and joint pain in dogs. Recommended Dosage Note: Do not begin treatment with Rimadyl or any other medicine containing carprofen unless a vet has given you permission to do so."

Prednisone and Prednisolone are glucocorticoid medications that are prescribed for many uses including reducing inflammation, suppressing the immune system, treating some types of cancer, and as a replacement when the body is not making enough glucocorticoid on its own. They can be beneficial in treating many diseases and disorders but should be given at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time period possible to reduce the chances of adverse effects. How They Work Prednisone and prednisolone are medications that mimic the activity of a naturally occurring hormone produced in the adrenal cortex called cortisol. Glucocorticoids act on almost every part of the body and have a wide range of effects including reducing inflammation, suppressing the immune system, inhibiting healing, altering mood, stimulating appetite, increasing the secretion of gastric acid, weakening muscles, thinning the skin, and more. In your pet’s liver, prednisone is converted to prednisolone. Pets with severe liver problems are not able to make this conversion effectively, and many veterinarians believe that these pets should only be given prednisolone. Cats also have a limited ability to convert prednisone into prednisolone, so prednisolone is the preferred medication in this species."

This medication is used for inflammation and pain in dogs, and there are possible side effects that range from mild but bothersome to severe or even fatal. If pain relief for dogs is needed this drug provides it by inhibiting the Cox 2 enzyme in your pet, and this enzyme is responsible for inflammation and pain in joints. The possible Deramaxx side effects that are serious can include liver and kidney function impairment, because these organs are used to metabolize the drug. Your pet may show a decrease in the frequency or amount of urination if the kidneys become impaired, and you may notice a strong odor or dark color from the urine. Jaundice can occur if liver function becomes impaired. These side effects should be treated immediately or death can result. Other possible side effects of Deramaxx for dogs include pain or tenderness in the abdomen, stools which are bloody or tarry, a skin rash, vomiting that contains blood, and an allergic reaction. These Deramaxx side effects are serious and require immediate medical attention because they can lead to life threatening conditions. Just like Rimadyl side effects, Deramaxx and other NSAIDs can cause an upset stomach and nausea and have a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers."

This medication does not cure HPV infection and does not reduce the risk of passing HPV to others through sexual contact.

[ 1]Desertification is a type of land degradation in which a relatively dry area of land becomes increasingly arid, typically losing its bodies of water as well as vegetation and wildlife. [ 2] It is caused by a variety of factors, such as through climate change (particularly the current global warming) and through the overexploitation of soil through human activity. [ 3] When deserts appear automatically over the natural course of a planet's life cycle, then it can be called a natural phenomenon; however, when deserts emerge due to the rampant and unchecked depletion of nutrients in soil that are essential for it to remain arable, then a virtual \"\"soil death\"\" can be spoken of, [4] which traces its cause back to human overexploitation.

"text": "Written by Scott Auerbach Related Articles1Effect of Human Activities on the Environment2Ecological Concerns That Affect the Tundra3Does Water Pollution Threaten Seahorses?4How Does the Release of Car Exhaust Fumes Cause Global Warming? Physical geography is the study of natural features and phenomena on the planet's surface and our interactions with them. These features include vegetation, climate, the local water cycle, and land formations. Geography doesn't just determine whether humans can live in a certain area or not, it also determines people's lifestyles, as they adapt to the available food and climate patterns. As humans have migrated across the planet, they have had to adapt to all the changing conditions they were exposed to. Land Formation Land formation is the physical shape of an area and the several processes that help form that shape. One process that makes a big impact is plate tectonics: the movements of crustal plates on the Earth's surface. These plates are constantly sliding past and colliding into one another. Plate movements can affect the availability of water by disrupting rivers and they disturb land formations that humans have settled on, like an earthquake ravaging a major city. Animals hunted by humans for food can be displaced as well, forcing people to move to another area to survive."

"text": "\"Deforestation Effects, Causes, And Examples: Top 10 List December 13, 2012 in Geology & Climate, Plants Over half of the world’s forests have been destroyed in the last 10,000 or so years — the majority of this loss has occurred in just the last 50 years, occurring simultaneously with a massive increase in the human population. The incredible scale of this loss has led to significant changes throughout many parts of the world, and in recent years these changes have been accelerating. These changes include: large-scale extinction events, desertification, climatic changes, topsoil loss, flooding, famine, disease outbreaks, and insect ‘plagues’ — among others. Deforestation occurs primarily as a result of: agriculture, fuel use and production (firewood, charcoal, etc), timber harvesting, pasture-clearing for livestock animals, and expanding human settlements. And also, to a degree, due to large scale war — throughout history fire has often been used as a way to deprive enemy populations of necessary resources. These deforested areas almost inevitably end up as wastelands via the processes of soil erosion and desertification, if they aren’t reforested. Many of the areas of the world that were deforested thousands of years ago remain as severely degraded wastelands or deserts today. Currently the world’s annual rate of deforestation is estimated to be about 13.7 million hectares a year — roughly equivalent to the total land-area of Greece. Roughly half of the areas deforested gets reforested to some degree, but these new-growth forests don’t function in the same ways, support the same biodiversity, nor do they provide the many benefits that old-growth forests do. In addition to these ‘official’ numbers, forests have also been, in recent years, becoming more and more affected by the changing climate — with increasing levels of drought, growing numbers of forest fires, increasingly common powerful storms and extreme weather, an explosion in insect numbers, and the spread of disease, all taking a toll."

Where conditions permit, dryland populations can avoid degradation by improving their agricultural and grazing practices in a sustainable way To counter the problems effectively, it is important — but difficult — to distinguish between effects resulting from natural conditions and those caused by management decisions as well as economic and policy factors.

Policies leading to an unsustainable use of resources and the lack of adequate infrastructures are major contributors to land degradation.

"text": "What is Desiccated Coconut? Desiccated Coconut is a grated, dried (3% moisture content max. ), and unsweetened fresh meat or kernel of a mature fruit of coconut. Dessicated Coconuts are graded by its cutting size, for example, fine grade and medium grade where fine grade is smaller particle size than the medium grade. The processes of desiccated coconut are as below: Removal of coconut husk,Removal of coconut shell,Removal of thick brown coconut skin,Washing of white coconut meat to remove foreign material,Blanching of white coconut meat to reduce the number of microorganism to the safe level fit for human consumption within its shelf life,Cutting of white coconut meat into the desired size,Hot air blow drying the grated white coconut meat to reduce the moisture content from 19% to less than 3%,Cooling of desiccated coconut,Sieving of desiccated coconut to separate desiccated coconut as according to the desired size,Finally, packing of desiccated coconut. One thousand nuts are expected to yield about 130kg of Desiccated Coconut. Production of Desiccated Coconut is a real hard work as the removal of coconut husk, shell and skin are done manually or given the best of current technology are done semi-automatically. Applications of Desiccated Coconut Desiccated Coconut is ideal for use as fillers, toppings and as ingredients, especially in the baking of biscuits, snack bars, cakes, cookies and so on. How to identify a good quality Desiccated Coconut? A good quality Desiccated Coconut should be white in colour, reasonably free from yellow specks, black spots and other discolourations."

Presenter: Josh Byrne, 23/04/2005If you wanted to invent a tree you’d battle to come up with one as versatile as the drumstick tree Moringa oleifera. Originating from northern India, the leaves, flowers, pods and roots are edible. And it's the drumstick-like pod shape that gives the tree its name. The drumstick tree is drought tolerant and grows in arid regions through to the tropics, will tolerate some frosts and grows from both cuttings and seed. Ex-pat Indians Kuruvilla and Valsa Matthew have a drumstick tree growing in their Fremantle garden. Kuruvilla was surprised to find the specimen when he visited a permaculture garden and nursery in Geraldton, Western Australia. He says the leaves are good to eat because they are high in nutrition. The flowers, available for a short time, taste a little like mushroom and can be cooked with egg. The bark is used for its medicinal qualities and the roots can also be eaten."

But it does. And sometimes, the side effects can get dangerous. Which is why knowing about them is vital. Keep reading to know some of the unexpected side effects of coconut oil. But, before that, let’s take a glance at its benefits. Coconut Oil Benefits – A Brief Talk about coconut oil, and its benefits are what pop into our mind. In fact, there are over 1,500 studies that prove the healthfulness of coconut oil. Most of its benefits can be attributed to medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which are also called the healthy fats. The reason being, MCFAs are easier to digest and are not readily stored as fat."

Our botany professor brought in many fruits and vegetables to make the class learn about the botanical classification. I have a doubt that there is something about classification that makes all botanist go crazy. They love to classify the plants as angiosperms and gymnosperms and so on. By the end of the year even I got carried away with the classification and started to classify the plants in my garden! ( My grandpa was a bit amused at the tiny botanical name tags tied to his dear plants!). Well, coming back to the point, that day we could manage to classify many fruits and vegetables without much difficulty. The most difficult of them all was a coconut. It really stumped the class and divided us into two groups."

"text": "Desiccated Coconut Calories Desiccated coconut is a choice ingredient in a lot of coastal cuisines. Let us take a look at desiccated coconut calories and nutrition, and learn a little something extra about the deliciously nutty, edible part of this otherwise tough and fibrous coastal fruit. The two basic items necessary to sustain life are sunshine and coconut milk. ~ Dustin Hoffman Known in many Pacific, tropical and coastal countries as the Tree of Life, Tree of Abundance, Jewel of the Tropics and the Tree of Heaven the coconut tree is a complete storehouse of necessities that bestows upon mankind all that it needs to survive - delicious fruit to appease hunger, wholesome coconut water to quench thirst, tough wood to build boats and huts, and extremely strong and durable fiber and leaves that can be fashioned into ropes, mats, rudimentary clothing and bedding material. Perhaps this is the very reason why, in Sanskrit, the coconut tree is hailed as Kalpa Vriksha or Kalpa Taru, which roughly translates as the tree that fulfills all desires or wishes ( Kalpa: wish; Vriksha/ Taru: tree)! Desiccated coconut is nothing but the white, succulent meat of the coconut seed which has been scraped from the insides of the tough coconut seed shell. It is usually shredded or flaked and then dried to remove moisture. This dried and shredded coconut meat is often ground to for a fine powder before being used as a culinary ingredient. Now, let's take a look at desiccated coconut calories and nutrition to better appreciate this wholesome and delicious cooking ingredient that gives all those tropical dishes that creamy texture and imparts a subtle, nutty flavor to all those seafood curries and gravies. Desiccated Coconut Nutrition Talking about calories and nutrition, desiccated coconut is a rich source of protein, carbohydrates and fat with trace amounts of calcium, iron and Vitamin C. A 30 g (which is a little more than an ounce) serving of desiccated coconut which is neither sweetened, creamed nor toasted contains approximately 190 calories, out of which an estimated 150 calories come from its fat content (including saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats) alone!"

"text": "Extracting Coconut Milk Coconut milk is very important, for it is the magic that smoothes out a fiery sauce and gives richness to many curries. It is also used without spices in the foods of the Pacific, where it takes the place of every emulsion or sauce you can think of in Western cooking. Place the grated flesh of one coconut in a bowl with a cup of hot water or milk and squeeze firmly to release the richness. Instead of squeezing and kneading, it is more easily done in a blender. Strain and set aside. The first extract is known as coconut cream or thick milk and is usually added at the end of a recipe. Repeat the procedure using the same coconut with more liquid. use where thin coconut milk is required, as in long simmering of ingredients. If using desiccated coconut it is definitely easier with a blender. Soak 2 cups desiccated coconut in 2 1/2 cups hot water or milk and allow to cool before putting into the blender and processing at high speed."

[ 1] Anzac biscuits have long been associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established in World War I. The biscuits were sent by wives and women's groups to soldiers abroad because the ingredients do not spoil easily and the biscuits kept well during naval transportation. [ 2] Today, Anzac biscuits are manufactured commercially for retail sale. Biscuits issued to soldiers by the Army, referred to as \"\"Anzac tiles\"\" or \"\"Anzac wafers\"\", differ from the popular Anzac biscuit. Anzac tiles and wafers were hard tack, a bread substitute, which had a long shelf life and were very hard. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Origins2 Current popularity3 Legal issues4 Recipe5 References Origins [ edit]During a speech to the East Otago Federation of Women's Institutes, Professor Helen Leach, of the Archaeology Department of the University of Otago in New Zealand, stated that the first published use of the name Anzac in a recipe was in an advertisement in the 7th edition of St Andrew's Cookery Book (Dunedin, 1915). This was a cake, not a biscuit, and there were no mixing instructions. A recipe for \"\"Anzac Biscuits\"\" appeared in the War Chest Cookery Book (Sydney, 1917) but was for a different biscuit altogether. The same publication included a prototype of today's Anzac biscuit, called Rolled Oats Biscuits. The combination of the name Anzac and the recipe now associated with it first appeared in the 9th edition of St Andrew's Cookery Book (Dunedin, 1921) under the name \"\"Anzac Crispies\"\"."

Desiccated coconut, made by shredding dried coconut meat, helps infuse tropical flavor into your meals. It also offers nutritional value that supports tissue health. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Connective Tissue Strength Desiccated coconut provides minerals you need to keep your connective tissues -- a group of tissues that includes your skin, tendons, ligaments, bones and teeth -- strong. Connective tissue contains large amounts of collagen, tough and resilient protein fibers that form networks and hold your tissue together. Both copper and manganese support healthy collagen production, so they keep your tissues strong. An ounce of desiccated coconut offers 778 micrograms of manganese -- 43 percent of the recommended daily intake for women and 34 percent for men -- as well as 226 micrograms of copper, or one-quarter of your recommended daily copper intake. Support for Brain Function The copper in desiccated coconut also maintains the health of your brain. It activates enzymes responsible for the production of neurotransmitters -- chemicals your brain cells use to relay information. Other copper-dependent enzymes help you produce myelin, the fatty coating that sheaths each nerve cell and helps the cell conduct electricity."

"text": "Desiccated coconut is coconut meat which has been shredded or flaked and then dried to remove as much moisture as possible. There are a number of different styles of desiccated coconut used around the world, and availability of this coconut product varies, depending on the region where one is shopping. If desiccated coconut is not available, regular dried coconut can be used as a replacement, although dried content tends to have a higher moisture content, despite the “dried” in the name. One of the most common forms of desiccated coconut is an unsweetened, very powdery product which is produced by drying shredded coconut and then grinding the shreds. It is also possible to find coarser desiccated coconut, such as desiccated shreds and even flakes of coconut. Many producers also make sweetened versions. The label should clearly specify whether or not the coconut has been sweetened. Ad Bakers should be careful with recipes which call for desiccated coconut, because both sweet and plain versions are available. If a recipe calls for unsweetened desiccated coconut and a sweetened variety is used, the result may be a cloying recipe which is far sweeter than desired. Conversely, using unsweetened desiccated coconut in a recipe designed for the sweetened version may result in a more tart or bitter recipe."

A player who is outrighted to the minors is removed from the 40-man roster but is still paid according to the terms of his guaranteed contract. A player can only be outrighted once in his career without his consent. However, a player must clear waivers (that is, no other team placed a waiver claim on the player) to be sent to a minor league team. Also, if the player has five or more full years of major league service, he must give consent to be assigned to the minors. If the player withholds consent, the team must either release him or keep him on the major league roster. In either case, the player must continue to be paid under the terms of his contract. Trade the player [ edit]Once a player is designated for assignment, he may be traded. Some teams have been known to designate players for assignment to increase interest in the player, especially among teams that are not at the top of the waiver list (the order of which is determined by record)."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Quasi-experimental design)navigation search A quasi-experiment is an empirical study used to estimate the causal impact of an intervention on its target population without random assignment. Quasi-experimental research shares similarities with the traditional experimental design or randomized controlled trial, but it specifically lacks the element of random assignment to treatment or control. Instead, quasi-experimental designs typically allow the researcher to control the assignment to the treatment condition, but using some criterion other than random assignment (e.g., an eligibility cutoff mark). [ 1] In some cases, the researcher may have control over assignment to treatment. Quasi-experiments are subject to concerns regarding internal validity, because the treatment and control groups may not be comparable at baseline. With random assignment, study participants have the same chance of being assigned to the intervention group or the comparison group. As a result, differences between groups on both observed and unobserved characteristics would be due to chance, rather than to a systematic factor related to treatment (e.g., illness severity). Randomization itself does not guarantee that groups will be equivalent at baseline. Any change in characteristics post-intervention is likely attributable to the intervention. With quasi-experimental studies, it may not be possible to convincingly demonstrate a causal link between the treatment condition and observed outcomes."

Science, at a basic level attempts to answer questions (such as \"\"why are we aggressive) through careful observation and collection of data. These answers can then (at a more complex or higher level) be used to further our knowledge of us and our world, as well as help us predict subsequent events and behavior. But, this requires a systematic/universal way of collecting and understanding data -- otherwise there is chaos. At a Practical level, methodology helps US understand and evaluate the merit of all the information we're confronted with everyday. For example, do you believe in the following studies?1) study indicated that the life span of left-handed people is significantly shorter than those who are right hand dominant.2) study demonstrated a link between smoking and poor grades. There are many aspects of these studies that are necessary before one can evaluate the validity of the results. However, most people do not bother to find out the details (which are the keys to understanding the studies) but only pay attention to the findings, even if the findings are completely erroneous. They are also practical in the work place:1) Mental Health Profession - relies on research to develop new therapies, and learn which therapies are appropriate and effective for different types of problems and people.2) Business World - marketing strategies, hiring, employee productivity, etc. II."

Teams exist within a larger organization and interact with other teams and with the organization. Teams are one way for organizations to gather input from members, and to provide organization members with a sense of involvement in the pursuit of organizational goals. Further, teams allow organizations flexibility in assigning members to projects and allow for cross-functional groups to be formed. TYPES OF TEAMSThere are six major types of teams: informal, traditional, problem solving, leadership, self-directed, and virtual. Table 1 describes some of the characteristics of these six types of teams. INFORMAL TEAMS. Informal teams are generally formed for social purposes.

What happens if the lurking variable has no effect on the explanatory variable? With no association between the lurking variable and the explanatory variable, there can be no confounding. Problem with observational studies Observational studies of the effect of one variable on another often fail because of confounding between the explanatory variable and one or more lurking variables.

Sometimes their parents put pressure on them to receive good grades. Other times it may be that they need to maintain a minimum grade point average in order to keep scholarships or to be able to continue participating in certain activities or organizations. Many students feel that their future opportunities will be largely, or in part, determined by their grade point average, especially if they want to continue studies beyond college, or if they aspire to a competitive job or profession. In addition to these external pressures, many students are internally motivated to do their best and may set high standards for themselves, believing that the grades they receive are a measure of their success or failure in meeting these standards. While grades do constitute a reality of college life in the United States that must be faced, it is very important to understand them for what they are and not let them interfere with the most important aspect of college life: the opportunity to get a real education. This guide is intended to help students seeking a liberal arts education to understand the grades they receive in college. It is important to acknowledge that there is a peculiar tension, perhaps even a paradox, between the ideals of a liberal arts education and the U. S. higher education grading system. The reasons for evaluating students are clearer when talking about various kinds of practical education. We do want bridge engineers to design bridges that will not fall down."

"text": "\"Sports Baseball In baseball, what does it mean to be \"\"designate for assignment\"\"? Is it the same as being released? Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The definitive meaning of Designated for assignment: Any player on the 40-man roster may be designated for assignment. The term is sometimes abbreviated as DFA or DFA'ed. When a player is DFA'ed, he is immediately removed fromt the 40-man roster. The player's team has 10 days to from the date of designation to return the player to the 40-man roster or to trade, release, or outright the player to Minors. A player may only be designated for assignment if the 40-man roster is full and a player needs to be added. However, in order to outright a player, he must first clear outright waivers. While the player is on outright waivers, he may be claimed by any other team for the $20,000 waiver fee. Even further, if a player is outrighted and it is his second removal from the 40-man roster during his career, then he has the option to decline the outright assignment and opt for or declare free agency instead."

"text": "VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical local area network (or LAN) that extends beyond a single traditional LAN to a group of LAN segments, given specific configurations. Since a VLAN is a logical entity, its creation and configuration is done completely in software. How is a VLAN Identified? Since a VLAN is a software concept, identifiers and configurations for a VLAN must be properly prepared for it to function as expected. Frame coloring is the process used to ensure that VLAN members or groups are properly identified and handled. With frame coloring, packets are given the proper VLAN ID at their origin so that they may be properly processed as they pass through the network. The VLAN ID then enables switching and routing engines to make the appropriate decisions as defined in the VLAN configuration. Why Use VLANs? Traditional network designs use routers to create broadcast domains and limit broadcasts between multiple sub-nets. This prevents broadcast floods in larger networks from consuming resources or causing unintentional denials of service unnecessarily."

All subnets are of Class A network 10.0.0.0, with two masks being used, therefore meeting the definition of VLSM.

Ellis When you think of vocabulary, there is a good chance that you think of long lists of words from social studies or science textbooks, spelling word lists, or even the humongous lists of terms to study for college entrance exams. Zillions of flash cards also may come to mind. No doubt you share the common childhood experience of having to \"\"go look up the words in a dictionary, write the definition, and then write a sentence using the term\"\" — but how much of that vocabulary do you remember now? Do you remember how you could rote copy the definition of a term as part of a homework assignment, but have no real idea what the definition meant and still get an 'A' on the assignment? Perhaps the least effective way to study vocabulary is the \"\"look and remember\"\" technique. Here, students typically stare at the term and definition, apparently trying to activate photographic memory they wish they had. Another common study technique is 'rote verbal rehearsal' — saying the word over and over again, usually in the exact language and format from which the definition originally came. Ross Perot, with his unique use of the English language, said it best — \"\"That dog don't hunt!\"\" In other words, many of the traditional techniques teachers and students use to learn vocabulary does not work because most students, not just those with learning problems, rarely remember the meanings of new terms beyond the test. This raises a very disconcerting question: If students don't remember the definitions of new terms after the test, why bother requiring them to memorize these definitions in the first place since it seems to be a waste of time?"

"text": "\"Learn Basic Medical Terminology - What you Need to Know to Succeed Here's the basic medical terminology you'll need to learn to become skilled and successful in medical coding (or any medical career)... As a medical biller or medical coding specialist, you have to assign specific codes based on what the medical provider finds at the patient visit. What this means is that the coder must be able to understand and interpret the provider's written progress notes from the visit, and translate them into the correct codes. A good understanding of basic medical terminology helps you understand the doctor's notes more precisely - you're better able to assign the correct code to the patient's office visit. This understanding is even more important in specialty medical fields. These may require an in-depth understanding of medical terminology and the need for a very specific diagnosis, like in oncology. Basic medical terminology: root words, prefixes, and suffixes Medical terms generally have 3 parts: Roots Prefixes Suffixes When you put them all together, the three parts of the word create a more specific medical term. Some medical terms may have all three parts, whereas others might have only one or two. Root Words are the part of the word that can stand alone as the main part of the medical term. It holds the fundamental meaning of the phrase. Sometimes, medical terms can have more than one root."

This lesson will cover the most commonly used suffixes that describe procedures that are performed on the body. We will also look at some examples of terms that use the suffixes. Suffixes Medical terms are formed using a combination of a prefix, word root, and suffix. Not all medical terms have prefixes or word roots, but they will all contain suffixes. The suffix of a medical term gives action to the term. It does this by telling what the subject in the term is doing, having done to it, or who is doing something with it. The suffixes can be grouped into categories based on the information provided in a suffix. The different categories include conditions, signs and symptoms, diseases, procedures, and nouns. We are going to focus on the procedure suffixes in this lesson."

"text": "Surajit Bose Updated Feb 10, 2017Chickpeas come in several varieties. The one commonly found in the US, also known as garbanzo bean, is called Kabuli Chana (“chana from Kabul”) or safed chana (“white chana”) in India. This is a large yellowish-white legume used to make chhole/chana masala. Another chickpea, indigenous to India, is called kala chana (“black chana”), desi chana (“Indian chana”), or simply chana. The English name for this variety of chickpea is Bengal gram. Occasionally, you’ll find it referred to as just gram, without qualification. Bengal gram has the same shape as the garbanzo bean but is somewhat smaller and, as the name suggests, rust-brown to black in color. When this specific chickpea is hulled and split, the resulting yellow split lentil is called chana dal. A green chickpea is also common in Maharashtra (a state in western India, where Bombay/Mumbai is located). This chickpea is called harbara."

It's a compound medication consisting of three ingredients - isometheptene mucate, dichloralphenazone, and acetaminophen. The isometheptene mucate helps reverse the vasodilation that sometimes occurs during a Migraine. Dichloralphenazone is a sedative, and acetaminophen is a simple analgesic. Midrin has been a problem to get for some time now. There was a shortage of one of the ingredients in 2007. That was followed by some kind of manufacturing issues the manufacturer (Caraco) had a bit later. Finally, Caraco permanently discontinued Midrin. Tracing other medications with the same ingredients has been difficult."

She was a 28-year-old contract player with a string of forgettable films, he, at 23, a dashing, Cuban-horn nightclub bandleader. They married six months later. While she tended a soaring Hollywood career, he toured the country with his rumba band. In time, as depicted in this week’s CBS TV movie Lucy & Desi: Before the Laughter (Feb. 10), the relationship between Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz began to fray with the strain of separation. By 1950 Lucy was starring on radio with actor Richard Denning in the popular CBS show My Favorite Husband. When the network launched a version of the show for the new medium of television, she insisted that Desi be cast as her spouse. The formula was magic. In its six-year run, I Love Lucy, making perfect use of Ball’s vibrant talent and Desi’s behind-the-scenes business savvy, would become the most successful comedy series on TV and earn millions for the couple’s production company, Desilu. Each week 40 million viewers watched the onscreen antics of the Ricardo family."

The desmosome was first discovered by Giulio Bizzozero, an Italian pathologist. [ 3] He named these \"\"dense nodules\"\" the \"\"nodes of Bizzozero\"\". In 1920, the term \"\"desmosome\"\" was termed by Josef Schaffer . The first combining form, desmo-, New Latin from Greek desmos, bond, carries meaning of binding or bonding things together. Combined with -some, which comes from soma, body, it thus makes a desmosome a \"\"binding body\"\".

"text": "B. J. Miller Todd Hido for The New York Times One Man’s Quest to Change the Way We Die How B. J. Miller, a doctor and triple amputee, used his own experience to pioneer a new model of palliative care at a small, quirky hospice in San Francisco. By JON MOOALLEM JAN. 3, 2017F irst, the back story, because, B. J. Miller has found, the back story is unavoidable when you are missing three limbs. Miller was a sophomore at Princeton when, one Monday night in November 1990, he and two friends went out for drinks and, at around 4 a.m., found themselves ambling toward a convenience store for sandwiches. They decided to climb a commuter train parked at the adjacent rail station, for fun. Miller scaled it first. When he got to the top, electrical current arced out of a piece of equipment into the watch on his wrist. Eleven-thousand volts shot through his left arm and down his legs. When his friends reached him on the roof of the train, smoke was rising from his feet. Miller remembers none of this."

"text": "\"Six honest-to-goodness, logical reasons to ride a Harley-Davidson Lemmy Aug 05, 2014 109 Comments For every person on a Harley-Davidson, there's another who will ask, \"\"Why do you like that thing? It's old, it leaks oil, it makes no power, the brakes are terrible and it's a grandpa bike. \"\" There’s some truth in all of those criticisms. Plus, like brands such as Apple or Campagnolo, Harley-Davidson has fans who can be loyal to the point of looking like cult members, and I admit that rabid passion can be a little grating. Saying “there’s nothing like a Harley” or, worse yet, “If I have to explain, you wouldn’t understand,” are not very satisfying answers to questions about why we love our Harleys. Saying “you wouldn’t understand” implies, as Fearless Editor Lance points out, that the speaker is too inarticulate to explain himself and also thinks the interrogator is too stupid to comprehend an explanation. Great! A T-shirt slogan that insults both parties. You don’t have to think like a cult member to love your Harley-Davidson. There are some concrete reasons we like these old sleds."

"text": "\"Motorcycle engine From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A Honda Super Cub engine. The most popular motorcycle in history, with over 60 million produced. A motorcycle engine is an engine that powers a motorcycle. Motorcycle engines are typically two-stroke or four-stroke internal combustion engines, but other engine types, such as Wankels and electric motors, have been used in small numbers. Although some mopeds, such as the Vélo Sole X, had friction drive to the front tire, a motorcycle engine drives the rear wheel, power being sent to the driven wheel by belt, chain or shaft. Most engines have a gearbox with up to six ratios. Reverse gear is occasionally found on heavy tourers, for example the Honda GL1600, and sidecar motorcycles, such as the Ural. The rider changes gears on most motorcycles using a foot-pedal and manual clutch, but early models had hand-levers. More recently, some have automatic or semi-automatic gearboxes. Outside the United States, engine capacities typically ranged from about 50 cc to 650 cc; but in Europe since 1968 motorcycles with larger capacities have become common, ranging as high as the Triumph Rocket 3 's 2,300 cubic centimetres (140 cu in) engine."

Fetal remnant ligament: the remnants of a fetal tubular structure. Periodontal ligament: a group of fibers that attach the cementum of teeth to the surrounding alveolar bone. Ligaments are similar to tendons and fasciae as they are all made of connective tissue. The differences in them are in the connections that they make: ligaments connect one bone to another bone, tendons connect muscle to bone, and fasciae connect muscles to other muscles. These are all found in the skeletal system of the human body. Ligaments cannot usually be regenerated naturally; however, there are periodontal ligament stem cells located near the periodontal ligament which are involved in the adult regeneration of periodontal ligament."

"text": "Take a good A or B road and a relatively low powered but good handling motorcycle for today's standards, and you can have some fun. Do the same thing on a Ducati and it will be a great experience. The new fuel-injected Desmo L-Twin engine, and the new six-speed gearbox fitted to the latest Supersport 800 seem to make a huge difference when it comes to riding on ordinary roads. The bike is sharp, it feels planted to the ground and almost nothing will deviate this bike from getting round any corner you care to throw at it. The two-valve per cylinder engine fitted to the 800 has reasonable bottom and mid-range performance (74.5 HP @ 8250 rpm) but it does suffer a lack of a top end urge. Shifting at anything over 8,000rpm is almost wasting your time as you are well out of the torque curve by then (70 Nm - 7,1 Kgm @ 6250 rpm) so short shifting is the way to make good progress with this bike. If you are a power fiend then this bike will not suit you in the slightest, any reasonable Japanese 4cyl sportsbike of 600cc or above would comprehensively blow its doors off when acceleration enters the equation. But it must be said that on a tight set of twisting roads the bottom end of the Ducati will allow you to stay with most bikes. In this situation less experienced riders may well be better on the 800 than they would on something like a Japanese 600. The Ducati would probably also improve the skills of many riders, as to get the best out of it you have to ride well and concentrate on being smooth and flowing rather than the more frantic riding style that the small Japanese fours lean towards."

The suave — and undeniably catchy — reggaeton single by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee that features Justin Bieber is the first song primarily in Spanish to top the American charts since 1996, and its quickly staking its claim as the song of the summer already. But for those who don't know what the Puerto Rican pop stars and Bieber are singing about, we've got you covered. Justin Bieber sings in Spanish on a track for the first time in “Despacito.” ( Mike Coppola/Getty Images for i Heart)\"\"Despacito\"\" simply translates to \"\"slowly\"\" — and that's essentially the entire theme of the song. The track talks about taking things slow with a romantic partner in a passionate, dreamy setting. Hailee Steinfeld denies she’s dating Justin Bieber For example, the chorus describes a man wanting to slowly whisper into a lover's ear, slowly breathe onto her neck and slowly undress her. Justin Bieber's wild antics: Parties, naked pictures and throwbacks These lyrics mirror the opening verse that Bieber recites in English, during which he sings, \"\"Make me wanna savor every moment slowly, slowly. \"\"\"\""

"text": "\"Luis Fonsi and his writing partner Erika Ender penned this Latin pop/reggaetón song with the intention of creating a fun tune that would make people want to dance. He recalled to Billboard magazine: \"\"The song grew in a very natural way, it really snowballed into this final version. ' Despacito' started with a melody hook that I had with my guitar only. The beat for this track came after I wrote the lyrics, which I wrote as if I was writing a ballad. I sat with my guitar and started this cumbia pattern with my guitar. When I had a writing session with my friend Erika Ender I told her, 'Look, I have this idea and I pretty much have a chorus written but let's write a song around that and make it a sensual, fun, uplifting, dance kind of song and let's not over think it.' Because a lot of times when you're going into these writing sessions you're trying to come up with the most beautiful ballads with metaphors but for this one we just went with our gut. After we wrote it, I wasn't sure if I wanted to leave it as a cumbia/pop song or to give it this urban injection. I also don't consider it a reggaetón song but it does have that reggaetón energy and to me that's the new pop. A mix between a pop melody and a subtle urban beat to create the best of both worlds. \"\""

As a teacher in various comprehensives for the past 20 years, I have seen many good teachers, and some, it's true, fit the stereotype that Cameron wants to impose: graduates with good degrees from so-called \"\"good universities\"\". But I've also met a great many excellent teachers who wouldn't have passed his test. Some didn't have degrees in their chosen subjects; others didn't have degrees at all. Cameron's cardinal mistake is to think qualifications make a good teacher. They don't. When you're faced with 30 truculent children after lunch on a Friday afternoon, qualifications don't count for much.

[ 1]In the case of its broad associative definition, government normally consists of legislature, executive, and judiciary. Government is a means by which state policies are enforced, as well as a mechanism for determining the policy. Each government has a kind of constitution, a statement of its governing principles and philosophy. Typically the philosophy chosen is some balance between the principle of individual freedom and the idea of absolute state authority ( tyranny ). While all types of organizations have governance, the word government is often used more specifically to refer to the approximately 200 independent national governments on Earth, as well as subsidiary organizations. [ 2]Historically prevalent forms of government include aristocracy, timocracy, oligarchy, democracy, theocracy and tyranny. The main aspect of any philosophy of government is how political power is obtained, with the two main forms being electoral contest and hereditary succession.

In both French and English, the song is a powerful and patriotic anthem that is known throughout the world. If you are studying the French language, learning the words to La Marseillaise is definitely recommended. In this lesson, you will see a side-by-side translation from French to English that will help you understand its meaning and why it is so important to the people of France. The Lyrics for La Marseillaise ( L'Hymne national français)La Marseillaise was composed by Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle in 1792 and was first declared the French national anthem in 1795. There is much more to the song's story, which you can find below. First, however, let's learn how to sing La Marseillaise and understand the English translation of the lyrics. Rouget de Lisle originally wrote the first six verses. The seventh was added sometime later in 1792, according to the French government, though no one knows whom to credit for the last verse. It is typical that the refrain is repeated after each stanza."

Everything important that has happened to humans since the Paleolithic is due to environmental influences. More precisely: all of the important differences between human societies, all of the differences that led some societies to prosper and progress and others to fail, are due to the nature of each society's local environment and to its geographical location. History as a whole reflects these environmental differences and forces. Culture is largely irrelevant: the environment explains all of the main tendencies of history; cultural factors affect the minor details. Diamond proceeds systematically through the main phases of history in all parts of the world and tries to show, with detailed arguments, how each phase, in each major region, is explainable largely by environmental forces. The final outcome of these environmentally caused processes is the rise and dominance of Europe. The essential argument is very clear and simple. Almost all of history after the Ice Ages happened in the temperate midlatitudes of Eurasia."

"text": "Wednesday, March 31, 1993Thomas Jefferson: Liberty and Power Jefferson believed that government was the greatest threat to individual liberty.by Clarence Carson Dr. Clarence Carson is an American historian, a prolific author, and a longtime contributor to The Freeman. This essay is based on his newest book, Basic American Government, which is available from The American Textbook Committee, Rte. 1, Box 13, Wadley, AL 36276, for $32.95 hardcover. It is doubtful that Thomas Jefferson could have been elected President in the twentieth century. It is almost equally doubtful that he could have been elected to that high office at any time past 1850. Now I do not draw these conclusions simply because, as we say, times change, and any person thrown suddenly into another era would be more or less out of place and unsuited to positions of power and prestige in the later era. It is rather that Jefferson did not have the temperament, character, and turn of mind to have won election in the later era. The Man Jefferson shrank from public debate as a young child does from going into the darkness alone. He avoided, so far as possible, all occasions for public speaking. He disliked pomp, ceremony, confrontations, and heated discourse."

"text": "\"\"\"The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless.\"\" – Steven Weinberg, physicist Nihilism Defined A common, but misleading, description of nihilism is the 'belief in nothing'. Instead, a far more useful one would substitute 'faith' for 'belief' where faith is defined as the \"\"firm belief in something for which there is no proof.\"\" A universal definition of nihilism could then well be the rejection of that which requires faith for salvation or actualization and would span to include anything from theology to secular ideology. Within nihilism faith and similar values are discarded because they've no verifiable objective substance, they are invalid serving only as yet another exploitable lie never producing any strategically beneficial outcome. Faith is an imperative hazard to group and individual because it compels suspension of reason, critical analysis and common sense. Nietzsche once said that faith means not wanting to know. Faith is 'don't let those pesky facts get in the way of our political plan or our mystically ordained path to heaven'; faith is 'do what I tell you because I said so'. All things that can't be disproved need faith, utopia needs faith, idealism needs faith, and spiritual salvation needs faith. Abolish faith!NIHILISM IS SANITY IN AN INSANE SOCIETYThe second element nihilism rejects is the belief in final purpose, that the universe is built upon non-random events and that everything is structured towards an eventual conclusive revelation."

"text": "Instructor: Christopher Sailus Chris has an M. A. in history and taught university and high school history. In this lesson we explore the term 'Enlightened Despotism' and how it pertains to the domestic politics of several 18th-century Western and Central European nations. Enlightened Despotism'Politics makes strange bedfellows' is a truism that has sustained the test of time. Whether it's Republicans and Democrats making deals in Congress, or Joseph and Pharaoh ruling Egypt in the Old Testament, the nature of politics and the needs of the state can often require an odd mix of characters. Such was the case in the 18th-century, when several monarchs of Central and Western Europe adopted and implemented ideals of the Enlightenment, an intellectual movement which by and large denied that monarchies were the basis of political power!Enlightened despotism and its equal, enlightened absolutism, are terms historians use to describe the policies of several 18th-century European monarchs. They are despots (or absolutists) because they continuously worked to centralize all the power within their nation in the monarchy at the expense of provincial nobles and national or provincial assemblies. Somewhat paradoxically, many of these despots also embraced the Enlightenment, an 18th-century intellectual trend that espoused rational thought, empiricism, and individual rights and liberties. These monarchs attempted to improve their states through the personal implementation of Enlightenment ideas while at the same time maintaining, or even enhancing, monarchical-control over the affairs of the state. Attempts in France In France, government was influenced by enlightenment ideals, though what few measures Louis XV (and his grandson, Louis XVI) took, failed. Some Enlightenment ideals percolated into French government during their reigns, though this was chiefly achieved by their able administrators and advisors."

"text": "The effect of detergents on plants Year 9-10 Practical Report Example This page is still a work in progress - we are waiting on the results to come in before this page can be finished. Aim To investigate the effect of detergent on the health of plants when they are introduced in increasing amounts to the water supply. Introduction Figure 1: Surfactants (Roland.chem, 2006) The experimental investigation will examine the effects of detergents on the health of an Elodea plant. Detergents are sometimes known as soaps, and are made of molecules that have a hydrophilic head that is attracted to water, and a hydrophobic tail that is attracted to oils and grease (see figure 1) (Taylor, 2007, p.226). This makes detergent so effective when cleaning grease off of dishes because the tail can attach to the oils and grease on the plate while the head can attach to the running water to pull the grease away. Key concepts to cover in the introduction: Plant cells: cell membrane/cell walls --> lipids (cell wall would have more protein)Lipids: organised oil molecules Detergents: break down fats and oils Measurement technique: weighing & photography Expectations Figure 2: Oil micelles (Northeastern University, 2009) When there is enough detergent molecules separate the oils and grease, they can surround them as per figure 2, such that only the hydrophilic heads are exposed on the outside. This formation is called a Micelle (Taylor, 2007, p.234). This keeps the oils dissolved in water, and prevents the oils from clumping together again since the charges on the hydrophilic heads repel each other. Consequently, any oil, or grease material in the plant can be affected by the detergent, namely the plant cells. Plant cells have two boundaries around the cell; a cell membrane on the inside and a cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane (see figure 3)."

Brown ‡ § and Erwin London ‡, ¶From the Departments of ‡Biochemistry and Cell Biology and ¶Chemistry, State University of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794-5215It is well known that separate domains with different lipid compositions can exist in liposomes containing mixtures of different phospholipids. The question of whether cellular membranes contain similar lipid domains has intrigued workers for many years. One type of domain, sphingolipid and cholesterol-based structures called membrane rafts, has received much attention in the last few years. We will review the evidence that rafts exist in cells and focus on their structure, or the organization of raft lipids and proteins. Our discussion of function will focus on the role of rafts in signaling in hematopoietic cells, a particularly well developed area that has provided insights into raft organization in the membrane. Several reviews of rafts ( 1-4) and of related structures called caveolae ( 5-7) have appeared recently. Next Section Lipid Phase Behavior and Raft Formation Sphingolipids differ from most biological phospholipids in containing long, largely saturated acyl chains. This allows them to readily pack tightly together, a property that gives sphingolipids much higher melting temperatures ( T m) 1 than membrane (glycero)phospholipids, which are rich in kinked unsaturated acyl chains. It is now clear that tight acyl chain packing is a key feature of raft lipid organization ( 3, 8, 9 ). In fact, the differential packing ability of sphingolipids and phospholipids probably leads to phase separation in the membrane."

Methods Samples of whole blood (WB), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and isolated leukocytes were incubated with various concentrations of sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) or polidocanol (POL) and added to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), which were then counted using a fluorescent plate reader. Full blood counting was performed using a hematology analyzer. Platelet lysis and microparticle formation was assessed using lactadherin binding in flow cytometry. Results Detergent sclerosant activity was decreased in WB when compared with plasma and saline controls. The sclerosant lytic activity on endothelial cells was increased 23-fold for STS and 59-fold for POL in saline controls compared with WB. At high concentrations, sclerosants lysed erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. Platelets were more sensitive to the lytic activity of sclerosants than other cell types. Neutrophils were the most susceptible of all leukocytes to the lytic activity of sclerosants. The presence of erythrocytes and leukocytes in samples decreased the lytic activity of sclerosants."

Lipid rafts are dynamic assemblies of proteins and lipids that float freely within the liquid-disordered bilayer of cellular membranes but can also cluster to form larger, ordered platforms. Rafts are receiving increasing attention as devices that regulate membrane function in eukaryotic cells. In this Perspective, we briefly summarize the structure and regulation of lipid rafts before turning to their evident medical importance. Here, we will give some examples of how rafts contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of different diseases. For more information on rafts, the interested reader is referred to recent reviews ( 1, 2 ). Go to: Composition of lipid rafts Lipid rafts have changed our view of membrane organization. Rafts are small platforms, composed of sphingolipids and cholesterol in the outer exoplasmic leaflet, connected to phospholipids and cholesterol in the inner cytoplasmic leaflet of the lipid bilayer.

Goñi c Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.febslet.2009.12.049 Get rights and content Under an Elsevier user license open archive Abstract This paper reviews the current knowledge on the various mechanisms for transbilayer, or flip-flop, lipid motion in model and cell membranes, enzyme-assisted lipid transfer by flippases, floppases and scramblases is briefly discussed, while non-catalyzed lipid flip-flop is reviewed in more detail. Transbilayer lipid motion may occur as a result of the insertion of foreign molecules (detergents, lipids, or even proteins) in one of the membrane leaflets. It may also be the result of the enzymatic generation of lipids, e.g. diacylglycerol or ceramide, at one side of the membrane. Transbilayer motion rates decrease in the order diacylglycerol ≫ ceramide ≫ phospholipids. Ceramide, but not diacylglycerol, can induce transbilayer motion of other lipids, and bilayer scrambling. Transbilayer lipid diffusion and bilayer scrambling are defined as two conceptually and mechanistically different processes. The mechanism of scrambling appears to be related to local instabilities caused by the non-lamellar ceramide molecule, or by other molecules that exhibit a relatively slow flip-flop rate, when asymmetrically inserted or generated in one of the monolayers in a cell or model membrane. Previous article Next article Keywords Transmembrane lipid motion Lipid flip-flop Bilayer scrambling Ceramide Diacylglycerol1. Introduction As in all living structures, the molecules forming eukaryotic cell membranes are in a non-equilibrium state. This is mainly due to a continuous intracellular trafficking of molecules that control cell survival."

Save For Later Print Articles A goal for any feeding program is to achieve an appropriate balance among available feed ingredients where total ration nutrient composition meets daily nutritional needs of the animal or animals. To accomplish such a feat on a day-to-day basis, one needs to have some information as to the nutrient content of feed ingredients. Tremendous variation exists in nutrient composition between different feeds. Even within a feed ingredient, there is potential for significant variation in composition. This is especially true for forages. Forages harvested off the same field within the same year can have very different composition as influenced by environmental conditions and cutting time. In a previous column, the concept of forage quality was defined and its affect on a feeding program described. Low quality forages have less available nutrients, thus require larger amounts of supplements to be added. Unsupplemented low quality forages may predispose pregnant or lactating females to hepatic lipidosis or slow rate of gain in growing animals."

The introduction of synthetic detergents to the market place in the 1950s offered homemakers more options of fabric care. But it was the 1970s that brought the most significant innovation in advanced cleaning, the addition of enzymes that \"\"attack\"\" specific types of stains. It is those enzymes that separate the men from the boys when it comes to clean laundry.

His explanations will help you understand what you are reading on your detergent label and help you select the best product for your laundry. Basic Detergent Formulas Every detergent manufacturer has secret ingredients and mixtures to produce their specific brands. Many of these ingredients can be manufactured from plants; others are synthetic. It is the amount of each ingredient and how they are combined that affects the cleaning ability of the detergent.

"text": "A surfactant is a compound that lowers the surface tension of a liquid, increasing the contact between the liquid and another substance. There are a wide variety of these compounds that work with oil, water, and an assortment of other liquids. Many companies manufacture a range of surfactants for various purposes, ranging from soaps to inks. They are also sometimes referred to as “ wetting agents .”The term is a compound of “surface acting agent,” referring to the fact that these substances interact with the surface of a liquid to change its properties. They work through a process known as “adsorption,” which means that they accrete on the surface of a liquid, creating a film that reduces its surface tension. One of the most famous surfactants is soap, which is used to break the surface tension of water so that it can penetrate more fully. The foaming action of soap helps water get under dirt and grease on surfaces like dishes, hands, and fabrics, allowing the water to carry the dirt away. As anyone who has tried to wash without soap knows, the high surface tension of plain water makes cleaning very difficult. Ad Surfactants can also work as lubricants, as is the case with shaving a cream, which makes it easier to run a razor along the skin to remove unwanted hair. They are also used in sanitizing products, anti-fogging liquids, adhesives, emulsifiers, and fabric softeners, among numerous other substances."

The solution used to stain the bacteria, Gram stain, is a weak alkaline solution of gentian violet or crystal violet. The process of Gram staining has allowed scientist to classify bacteria into two categories: gram positive or gram negative. When a bacterium retains the color of the Gram stain it is considered Gram positive bacteria. When gram stain test are conducted the bacteria is washed with a decolorizing solution after they have been dyed with a crystal violet. A counter-stain is then added like safranin of fuchsine after washing. If the bacteria is gram negative the bacteria becomes stained red or pink. If the bacteria is gram positive the bacteria retains the color of the crystal violet dye. The reason is because the structure of the cell wall on gram positive bacteria is different than the cell wall on gram negative bacteria.

The initial shock wave is visible on the water surface, and a shock condensation cloud is visible overhead. Detonation (from Latin detonare, meaning 'to thunder down') is a type of combustion involving a supersonic exothermic front accelerating through a medium that eventually drives a shock front propagating directly in front of it. Detonations occur in both conventional solid and liquid explosives, [1] as well as in reactive gases. The velocity of detonation in solid and liquid explosives is much higher than that in gaseous ones, which allows the wave system to be observed with greater detail (higher resolution ). A very wide variety of fuels may occur as gases, droplet fogs, or dust suspensions. Oxidants include halogens, ozone, hydrogen peroxide and oxides of nitrogen. Gaseous detonations are often associated with a mixture of fuel and oxidant in a composition somewhat below conventional flammability ratios. They happen most often in confined systems, but they sometimes occur in large vapor clouds."

"text": "Do you really need to buy premium gas? Maybe. Rick explains. Actually, reading this won’t tell you; only your owner’s manual knows for sure. But read on…you may yet be off the hook…Do I Really Need to Use Premium Gas? Many years ago, premium fuel was thought (and sort of advertised) to contain added detergents that helped keep fuel injectors clean. At the time, fuel injection was rather new, and the injectors’ tiny orifices could easily get clogged by dirt. Therefore, many people bought premium-grade gas for that reason, even though the engine didn’t really require it. But today, virtually all name-brand gasoline (and probably all gasoline, period) contains a sufficient amount of detergent to keep the fuel injectors clean, so that’s no longer a good reason to pay an extra 20 percent for your gas. Historically, premium-grade fuel has mostly been used in high-performance vehicles that have high-compression, turbocharged, or supercharged engines, though it’s sometimes required in more pedestrian cars as well (many Volkswagens and Mini Coopers, for instance)."

"text": "Detonation – What Causes It And How To Control It Using EFIBy Kyle Kitchen July 01, 2016It goes by several names — knock, pinging, detonation, etc., and many of the terms can make the event seem rather innocuous. The truth is, under moderate to high loads consistent knock counts can cause catastrophic engine failure, usually in the form of crushed rod bearings, cracked ringlands, or a hole in your piston. Just about every moderate to high power spark-ignition engine will experience random knock events throughout its service life. It’s one of those things that can never be completely avoided, but can still be easily controlled and kept within a safe limit by way of sensors and responsible tuning. To start, it helps to understand what is happening inside the combustion chamber to cause that destructive pinging sound. What It Is Depending on engine load and tuning, the spark plug fires anywhere between 45 degrees down to 5 degrees before top-dead-center (BTDC) of the compression stroke and ignites the air/fuel mixture. During a normal combustion cycle, the flame front expands from the point of ignition out towards the cylinder walls and piston crown, this burn process can take up to 90 degrees of crankshaft rotation to completely burn. Detonation is identified as any spontaneous combustion occurring after the burn process has already begun, and is independent of the initial flame front. This uncontrolled event can originate from anywhere within the chamber and is usually caused by high cylinder temperatures and or pressure."

"text": "\"PRE-IGNITION AND DETONATION BEFORE we consider the use of other additives to the fuel we must get a clear understanding of the problem introduced by two well known conditions that occur, especially when you are seeking high performance from the engine, and in particular using fuel of the type we have been discussing. We have in mind of course Pre-ignition and Detonation and we did state we would explain these two conditions in detail. Let us therefore look at, perhaps, the easier one of the two to explain and understand, that of Pre-ignition. The name itself is self explanatory. The fuel is being ignited before it should be, causing all sorts of trouble. To understand we must go back to our simple heat engine and once again consider just what takes place, taking the compression stroke as our starting point, assuming that up to that moment of time the engine has been running satisfactorily. That being so, we have the piston commencing to travel up the cylinder bore, starting to compress the fuel ready for ignition by the spark at the plug. IGNITION SETTING Depending on the ignition setting, the spark should occur at just the right time to allow the mixture to ignite, the resultant explosion being so timed that its force is applied to the piston just as it is ready to commence its downward stroke. As we have explained with Methanol for example, as compared to Petrol, the ignition setting point has to be advanced since this fuel is slower in igniting, taking longer to burn, hence the need to commence the operation just that bit sooner so as to get the force of the explosion at the right moment looking at it from the piston point of view. If the explosion takes place too late, then the piston has already started to descend, so the force of the explosion is reduced since there is now so much more room so to speak in the chamber."

"text": "\"What's the Difference Between Cam Timing & Ignition Timing? Contrary to what a lot of people think, cam \"\"timing\"\" and ignition \"\"timing\"\" have nothing to do with each other, anymore than a timing \"\"belt\"\" and a fan \"\"belt\"\" have anything to do with each other. They just happen to share a common word of \"\"timing\"\" but that word is in a completely different context from each other. Cam timing is a relationship between where the cam is indexed at (phased) with the crank. When it is referred-to as \"\"straight-up\"\" or at \"\"zero\"\", it means it is degree for degree in line with the TDC index of the crank, where the cam manufacturer wanted the cam to be at. It isn't advanced, and it isn't retarded in relationship with the crank. Advancing the cam opens the intake valve sooner, which brings the power curve down to a little lower RPM. In other words, advancing the cam 2, 3 or 4 degrees will make the cam's power curve come-on sooner. More sooner for each degree more you advance it (more or less anyway) This is ideal for things like trucks that need \"\"grunt power\"\" to get moving, or for cars with engines that don't make enough low-end torque to \"\"get-up and go\"\" off the line better, such as street cars, autocross cars, short track cars, etc. It's a bad situation if you have too much low-end power and can’t control the tire traction."

"text": "\"Tweet Water/methanol injection has been around since the 1920’s, but really didn’t have much practical use until World War II. As we know today, a fuel-rich mixture produces more power, but it’s not because that extra fuel gets burned during combustion. Rather, the excess acts to cool the mixture as it turns from liquid droplets to vapor with the heat of combustion. Supercharged engines were common in military aircraft, so that they could fly at higher altitudes, despite the less dense air. But rich mixtures compromise the range that the plane was capable of, so substituting another liquid for aviation fuel would effectively increase the range, or allow for more power by increasing boost which would increase the altitude the plane could fly at. In the automotive world, the technology has not been ignored. The companies we are talking with: Snow Performance – Snow Performance is one of the oldest names water/methanol injection in performance applications, and we talked with owner Matt Snow who also campaigns a blown NASCAR engine-powered Fox body Mustang that makes nearly 1000HP. In the fall of 2004, the long standing world record in the quarter mile for diesels was broken twice using the Boost Cooler water/methanol injection system by Snow Performance. Snow currently offers three kit levels – first with a simple pressure switch that activates the injection at a given boost level, stage two adds in a progressive controller box that allows the user to ramp the boost from a start to end point, and the stage three is a fully computerized version of the stage two progressive controller that allows for adjustments on the fly. AEM – Talking with AEM Marketing Director Lawson Mollica, AEM launched their first system in 2007 that was progressively controlled."

Ducking and covering is useful at conferring a degree of protection to personnel situated outside the radius of the nuclear fireball but still within sufficient range of the nuclear explosion that standing upright and un-covered is likely to cause serious injury or death. In the most literal interpretation, the focus of the maneuver is primarily on protective actions one can take during the first few crucial seconds-to-minutes after the event, while the film by the same name and a full encompassing of the advice, also caters to providing protection up to weeks after the event. The countermeasure is intended as an alternative to the more effective target/citywide emergency evacuation when the latter would no longer be viable due to time constraints. Maneuvers similar, but not identical, to Duck and Cover also find use during the event of a sudden earthquake or tornado when preventive emergency evacuation is not an option, again, due to time constraints. In these cases, Drop, Cover and Hold on can likewise prevent injury or death which may otherwise occur if no other safety measures are taken. As a countermeasure to the lethal effects of nuclear explosions, it is effective in both the event of a surprise nuclear attack, [note 1] and during a nuclear attack of which the public has received some warning, which would likely be about a few minutes prior to the nuclear weapon arriving."

"text": "\"The Causes of Internal Engine Knock, and How to Eliminate it. By Ray T. Bohacz Abnormal combustion, more commonly known as knock or detonation, has been the limiting factor in internal combustion engine power generation since the discovery of the otto cycle itself. To tune an engine for maximum power, you need to understand this undesirable yet ever-present problem. Abnormal combustion manifests in many different ways. To the typical enthusiast, all abnormalities are referred to as knock or detonation. In practice, though, when the undesired flame front is initiated and how it is propagated define the cause and, in turn, the appropriate cure. Abnormal combustion got the nickname knock from the noise that is transmitted from the colliding of the multiple flame fronts and the increased cylinder pressure that causes the piston, connecting rod and bearings to resonate. Any sort of abnormality in the combustion process has serious consequences in the power output, longevity and emissions generation of an engine. Causes of Detonation Trying to isolate a detonation problem in a highly modified or even slightly modified engine requires you to determine if the combustion problem is being caused by a change you made to the engine, is inherent to a design flaw, or is derived from an external cause such as carbon deposits or poor fuel. Obviously the area with the largest variable is the fuel quality."

Probably because of this, some of what is openly available tends to vary in accuracy -- some, especially from the Internet, has major inaccuracies. Some discussions of HEMP have the right words and concepts, but do not quite have them put together right, or have inaccurate interpretations. Here we will discuss some common misunderstandings. HEMP has also appeared in some movies, and there are on-line discussions about possible errors in their depiction of HEMP. Here we will be concerned with E1 HEMP, and ignore misunderstandings about other types of EMP."

"text": "Cars & Transportation Maintenance & Repairs What does a knock sensor do? I have a 1995 Volvo 850 check engine light is on when i took it to a repair shop they told me knock sensors need to be replaced and they wanted to charge me $600 for that is that a fair price and is it OK if I don't have it fixed right away. Thanks,6 following 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The knock sensor is basically a microphone. Its there to listen for spark knock which is also called detonation, pinging, and pre ignition. This is the condition inside the engine where the fuel begins to burn before its supposed to. It sounds like someone rattling a can of marbles. It can easily destroy the internals of an engine. Before the days of computers and knock sensors they tended to be fairly conservative with the tuning so that was not likely to happen. Problem is thats not very efficient for MPG and emissions. Thats why they came up with knock sensors."

"text": "\"What does it do, and how? Briefly, the VOES is a device to control the ignition advance - this is necessary to avoid detonation. Real detonation can destroy your engine - you can read about it here. Knowing about deto will help you understand the VOES function. Now, low vacuum (the term \"\"low vacuum\"\" describes a state in which pressure in the intake tract is relatively closer to normal atmospheric pressure) is not what causes detonation, but low vacuum is an indicator of conditions that lead to detonation. We can use it to tell us to change the situation, by increasing our RPMs for instance (with a downshift, which increases the vacuum), or rolling off the throttle (which reduces our speed), or an electronic ignition can use the low vacuum to operate a switch to tell the black box to change the ignition parameters. And that is what the VOES does - it detects high vacuum and tells the black box to advance the timing. The VOES is connected by a hose to a fitting on the intake manifold or carburetor. Inside the VOES is a diaphragm, a spring, and a set of electrical contacts. The switch has only two positions: on, and off, and they are selected by vacuum through the hose pulling the diaphragm up and turning the switch ON, or the spring pushing it back to OFF."

"text": "Causes Engines What are the causes of detonation in an engine?1 Answer Bryan Rule, Mech EAnswered Aug 12, 2014 · Author has 51 answers and 48.1k answer views Detonation (not to be confused with pre-ignition) is a spontaneous combustion of the end-gas (remaning air-fuel mixture) within the combustion chamber AFTER the spark/ignition. Combustion of the air-fuel mixture is supposed to be a smooth, controlled burn originating at the spark plug and spreading throughout the chamber, (relatively) steadily increasing pressure and tempurature to drive the piston down. When detonation occurs the end-gas is under a very high amount of heat and pressure, cause spontaneous combustion, and as a result a pressure spike within the combustion chamber. This can be caused by a number of things including engine-timing, too much spark advance, lower octane fuels, and compression ratio. The one I'll get into here is the fuels octane rating, which helped me understand the concept initially. Some people have the misconception that a high octane fuel has more power (i.e. stored energy) than the same amount of a lower octane fuel. In reality, a high octane fuel is simply less volatile which allows high compression, high HP engines, to perform more efficiently and reliably by avoiding detonation.357 Views · Answer requested by Hormuzd Bodhanwallapromoted by Truth Finder This site reveals driving history.

"text": "\"Nuclear Winter and Other Scenarios Jon Roland Ways in which the world climate might be catastrophically disturbed have received a great deal of attention as a result of three series of papers. The first was led by a 1967 paper by Manabe and Wetherald 1, which reported that atmospheric CO 2 levels were rising, and forecast that a doubling of CO 2 levels would cause an increase in average world temperatures of about 2.3ºC as the result of the greenhouse effect [see Box - The Greenhouse Effect ]. It was followed by many papers 2 which have forecast increases in average world temperatures over the next century by as much as 6ºC as the result of man-caused increases in levels of CO 2. Some of these papers have warned of severe effects on ecosystems and the fate of nations. A recent EPA report 3 has concluded that greenhouse warming over the next fifty years is unavoidable, and urges planning for the effects. The second was led by a 1980 article by Luis W. Alvarez and his associates 4, which reported finding a distinct clay layer at the Cretaceous-Tertiary (C-T) boundary containing the element iridium whose isotopic composition was characteristic of meteorites rather than terrestrial rocks. They suggested that this was evidence of the impact of an asteroid about 10 kilometers in diameter 65 million years ago. They hypothesized that such an impact would darken the skies with dust, which might reduce surface temperatures enough to cause the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and many other species then living, the fossil record of which seems to coincide with the C-T boundary. Further work has found such layers at many sites around the world and tended to confirm the impact hypothesis. There is still controversy concerning where the impact occurred, to what extent it caused the extinctions during this era, and whether the most important climatic and biological effects were the result of darkening, cooling, heating, flooding, or other mechanisms 5."

"text": "What causes spark knock and how do you get rid of it Drawing on left shows completion of normal combustion. Cutaway on right shows a detonating cylinder, where the last portion of the air/fuel mixture self-ignites and collides with the normal combustion front. Spark knock (detonation) is an erratic form of combustion that occurs when multiple flame fronts occur simultaneously inside a combustion chamber. Detonation occurs because fuel is subjected to either too much pressure, too much heat or both. It usually happens during acceleration when the engine is heavily loaded and cylinder pressures are at their peak. Instead of a single flame front growing outward smoothly like an expanding balloon from the point of ignition, multiple flame fronts are generated spontaneously throughout the combustion chamber as the fuel automatically ignites from heat and pressure. The multiple flame fronts collide, creating shock waves that produce a sharp metallic pinging or knocking noise. Mild detonation can occur in almost any engine and will not cause damage. Prolonged heavy detonation can crack pistons and rings, blow out head gaskets, damage spark plugs and valves, and flatten rod bearings. Any of the following can cause detonation: Too Much Compression: An accumulation of carbon deposits in the combustion chambers, on piston tops and valves can increase compression to the point where it exceeds fuel octane rating."

When replacing the knock sensors the upper and lower intake manifold has to be removed and that alone is a lot of work. If the vehicle has dual sensors (one on each bank) you may want to consider replacing both of them while the intake manifold is removed. There is also a knock sensor wire that is common to have problems due to the intense heat under the intake manifold. The wire is fairly inexpensive at a cost of around $50.00 from the dealer and I always recommend to replace it regardless."

"text": "100Top Ten Ways To Detox Weed Naturally When it comes to naturally cleansing your body some of the best ways to detox for weed are actually quite simple and easy to do. THC which is the active chemical in weed and is what gives it its hallucinogenic properties is not water soluble like alcohol but is fat soluble so the detox times for weed no longer being detectable in your system will be different for each person. There are however a number of things that are simple, safe, and cheap to do that can in some cases help drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to detox for weed My Personal Top Ten Best Ways to Detox Weed1. Drink lots of water. While being well hydrated is certainly one of the ways to detox weed from your system, it is not a magic solution. What drinking lots of water does is simple, it keeps the body well hydrated and healthy which is one of the most important things to do when you are trying to get your body to use all its extra resources to help detox for THC and is especially important when you consider the next way to cleanse for marijuana naturally.2. Get Plenty of Exercise. Because marijuana is fat soluble and sticks to the fat cells of your body, the more body fat you have the longer it’s going to take to detox for weed. This doesn’t have to mean going to the gym and lifting weights, anything that keeps you active and burning calories is going to be good. The best way to detox weed through exercise is to use a combination of both weight lifting and cardio type training like swimming or running which will burn fat and help speed up the metabolism which in turn means detoxing from weed that much quicker.3."

( 1)I began making infused water back in April 2012 with my first infused water post Day Spa Apple Cinnamon Water . That recipe turned out to be really popular, and went viral on Pinterest with over 2 million views within the first year. Since then, I have created a lot more infused water recipes, and written a book called Fruit Infusion: A Collection of Day Spa Inspired, Fruit Infused Waters. These simple infused water recipes are inexpensive, have almost zero calories, and taste great too!What Is Infused Water? Also called detox water, fruit flavored water, or fruit infused water; infused water can generally be any combination of fruits, vegetables, and herbs immersed in cold water. While infused water has the benefit of being full of flavor, it also has no calories, making it a very powerful tool in your efforts to lose weight and gain better health. For a full one week detox plan, check out my Detox Diet Week post and give your weight loss a kick start, try a detox smoothie, or a Detox Tea for a hot water detox drink.

AND they are actually GOOD for your health. They can even help with weight loss!Depending on where you live, they can be referred to as puff balls or swine snouts, and many other names. Dandelion was first used in Greece by the locals for its mild laxative effects. However it does not produce the typical laxative effects that we are familiar with. Instead, as a bitter it helps improve fat digestion and also helps you excrete excess water-a natural diuretic. Old books about herbal medicine state that in order to have a shiny complexion, women used to create an infusion by boiling the herb and its root components. The herb has been used for centuries to promote good health and wellbeing. Dandelion tea is prepared from the roots or the yellow flowers of the dandelion weed. Roasted dandelion root tea has been used in traditional medicine to alleviate the mild symptoms of frequent urination and poor bladder control."

There is a link at the bottom of each page that will take you from one page to the other, so don't worry if you lose your place while you're reading. In these pages you will find information that can help you to better understand what fasting is all about. It is my hope to give you a foundation from which to start. There is, however, something that I want to emphasize right from the start: Fasting Won't Produce Lasting Results Unless You Are Willing to Make Permanent Eating-Habit Changes It takes hard work and dedication to reach our goals in any field. Fasting is no different. Yes, the weight loss and health benefits are amazing, and these do materialize very quickly, but first you'll need to go through some discomfort with hunger and detox symptoms. And, again, the most important part of any fast is what you do AFTER it. What I mean is this: Fasting for many days to return to a diet full of junk is insanity. That is not the type of fasting that we advocate in this website."

Beyonce, Jared Leto, and other celebrities have, in the past several years, used this diet fad to lose weight for particular roles in movies; and since then, dietitians and doctors have weighed in on the pros and cons. If you’re unfamiliar with this diet, let me introduce you to the basics of the Master Cleanse. While the lemonade master cleanse is gaining new popularity, it is by no means a new diet. This diet method was initially developed in 1940 by Stanley Burroughs, who practiced alternative health and medicine, as a cure for ulcers. Thirty years later, Burroughs published a book describing the benefits of this liquid diet not only as a cure for stomach ulcers but also as a way to cleanse the body and shed excess fat within a few weeks. In 2004, Peter Glickman compiled the information from Burroughs’ book into a new and easier-to-read manual called “Lose Weight, Have More Energy & Be Happier in 10 Days.” Glickman’s book, updated and far more organized than Burroughs’ original manual, caused the liquid cleanse to gain popularity again.

"text": "Is the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino Within Walking Distance of the Las Vegas Strip? By Steve Beauregard Yes, you can walk from the Stratosphere to the Strip, especially considering that for many people, the Stratosphere is the northernmost part of the Las Vegas Strip. There is no official boundary for the Strip, but most folks consider it to end at either the Stratosphere, or the SLS Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. Either way, the walk is definitely doable. It’s a .4 mile walk from the front of the Stratosphere to the southern entrance of the SLS Hotel and Casino. The Stratosphere rises over the Las Vegas Strip It should take you about 10 minutes to walk it. Once you’re at Sahara Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard, you are technically on the Strip. The walk is what I consider safe, considering the amount of people and cars on Las Vegas Boulevard. You’ll pass by an IHOP, a Circle K, a budget motel, and tattoo shop before the famous Bonanza Gifts, which is self-described as the “World’s Largest Gift Shop. ”A huge gift shop and SLS casino notwithstanding, the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue is still a little dead, so if you consider the Strip to really begin at Circus Circus, you would have to walk 8/10th of a mile or around 17 minutes, to get there."

"text": "\"The Tennis Scoring System'Game-Set-Match'The tennis scoring system is a well thought out set of rules and guidelines specifically designed to guarantee a winner at the end of a tennis game, set, or match. Contrary to a number of sports, the outcome in tennis competition never results in a 'tie'. The competition must play out until a tennis competitor or a tennis team is crowned with the championship for that tournament. Spectators unfamiliar with the game of tennis are typically fascinated and pleasantly entertained by the competitive nature of the sport. Without a doubt, tennis is a high-spirited inspiring sport to watch, but many these spectators eventually find themselves disconnected at various stages of the competition due to the lack of tennis scoring knowledge. Problem Solved…The solution is to gradually learn the tennis scoring system and eventually master the official rules and guidelines acknowledged by tennis communities and tennis organizations around the globe. The terminology in tennis scoring is easy to learn and understand. \"\" Game-Set-Match\"\" is the habitual announcement voiced by tennis players and tennis officials to end a competition when the final point is played. This notification officially finalizes the tennis scoring for that match and if this is the 'finals' competition this announcement ends the tournament. Breaking down the details of the Game-Set-Match concept simplifies the ability to grasp and interpret tennis scoring."

Check your understanding with the vocabulary quiz and comprehension quiz. Tennis is one of the world's most widely-played sports, enjoyed by players of all ages. It is also a popular spectator sport, with star players in glamorous tournaments watched on TV by millions of fans all over the world. Women's matches attract as much interest as the men's, and tennis is one of the few professional sports in which women can earn as much prize money as men. Singles matches are played between two players and doubles matches are between two teams of two players. Each player uses a racket (also spelled racquet) to hit a felt-covered ball over a net into their opponent's side of a court. A player wins a point when his or her opponent cannot return a shot, or the opponent's shot doesn't land in the court. History The modern form of tennis first appeared in the 19th century, but earlier forms of the game had been played in Europe for centuries. The most well-known was real tennis (or royal tennis ), which had been popular with royal families and the rich since the thirteenth century."

[…] You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. ”Slowly but surely I’m encountering more and more people who don’t fit within the parameters of traditional religion. Powerful because of its peculiarity, this niche group is made of young people who sincerely seek relationship with Jesus but, for some reason, take issue with church culture. Whether people have been turned off by the rigidity of inauthentic customs, traumatized by callousness or hypocrisy, or even rejected because of cultural expression, there seems to be droves of people resisting ritualistic forms of religion yet still yearning for relationship with God. This passage legitimizes and affirms our existence, growth, and calling. We are, indeed, set apart."

Video poker is one of the best casino games to learn, because video poker often has some of the best odds in the entire casino. Sometimes, the player can even hold an edge over the house – how often do you see that? You can practise video poker here after reading how to play below. Video Poker4.5 - 103 votes Tweet How to Play Video Poker A video poker game begins with the player putting a number of coins into the video poker machine – usually, players have a choice of playing with between one and five coins. Once you are dealt your five cards, the goal is to make the best hand possible. Every video poker game is different, but each will have a minimum hand you need to make in order to win; it might be a pair of jacks (in Jacks or Better) or three of a kind (in Deuces Wild). If you don’t start with a winning hand, that’s okay; you’ll get one chance to drop as many cards as you want and get them replaced. Video poker is dealt from a single deck of cards, so if you discard the 3 of clubs, of instance, you won’t be seeing that card again."

The Serve By winning a coin toss or a spin of the racquet, player A gets to choose one of the following — to serve first or to receive first. The loser of the coin toss gets to chose which side of the court they would like to start playing (this is advantageous if the sun is on one side of the court). Let’s say player A chooses to serve. Player B then gets to choose an end of the court. Player A may serve from anywhere behind her baseline between the right singles sideline and the center mark. The serve is done by tossing the ball into the air and striking it with the racquet. The serve must be struck before the ball bounces, and it must land in the service box diagonally opposite her. She gets two chances to get a serve in. If she misses both, she loses the point. If a serve that is good BUT nicks the net on its way in, it is redone (called a LET)."

Walking non-stop, it would take you from 25 to 30 minutes to get there. To do so, simply head out north (towards the Fashion Show Mall), either right outside the TI or from the north exit. Either way, the sidewalk will lead you to the pedestrian bridge that crosses over Spring Mountain Road leading you to the Fashion Show Mall. ( The first store you’ll see is the giant Nieman Marcus). If you don’t go in the Fashion Show Mall and show, you’ll stay on the sidewalk, where 300 feet in front of you will be another pedestrian bridge that will take you over the Las Vegas Strip on over to the Wynn. Stay on the sidewalk in front of the Wynn. From there, it’s a straight shot north on the Strip sidewalk to Convention Center Drive.

A baby with hydrocephalus has extra fluid in and around the brain. This fluid is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Most CSF is found in fluid-filled areas (ventricles) inside the brain. Its purpose is to cushion and protect the brain and the spinal cord. Too much CSF can increase the pressure in your baby’s head. This causes the bones in your baby’s skull to expand and separate. The baby's head may look larger than normal. What causes hydrocephalus? Hydrocephalus is rare."

Wachs The author is affiliated with the Department of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. Abstract Although the reduction of child morbidity and the promotion of physical growth are important and necessary aspects of child development, these criteria by themselves do not define the adequacy of children’s development. There are also behavioural-developmental criteria that emphasize the promotion of competence. The competent individual is one who can effectively adapt to and interact with his or her environment. Traits that define individual competence fall into five domains: cognitive skills, temperament/ personality, motivation, self-perceptions, and interpersonal style. These domains are not completely independent, and there is at least partial overlap. The expression of individual differences in competence is partially moderated by context. Further, not all children achieve competence. Over time some children fall further and further behind their peers in their developmental course."

For most people, there are four or five such stages of growth and development where they learn certain things: infancy (birth to age two), early childhood (ages 3 to 8 years), later childhood (ages 9 to 12) and adolescence (ages 13 to 18). Persons 18 and over are considered adults in our society. Of course, there are some who will try to act older than their years. But, for the most part, most everybody grows in this same pattern. Parents learn much about taking care of their babies and young children. At the hospital or with the doctor, you might pick up information about what to feed them or how long they should sleep. Later, school staff may remind you about the importance of talking and reading to your young children. You can also see how your friends or relatives treat their kids. You cannot say the same thing about learning to talk with teenagers (adolescents)."

Youth Crisis is a program that is in conjunction with Social Services that is meant to interrupt crisis situations and provide a calm environment for children to de-escalate and parents and/or caregiver time to re-group. The admission to Youth Crisis would be initiated by a crisis plan or by a Mobile Crisis Specialist. There would need to be permission from parents and social services would need to get temporary custody. What is a Crisis Plan? A crisis plan can be used for anyone that has the potential for a crisis. The plan outlines what the crisis may look like, people that may be helpful in the situation, family dynamics, and an action plan with levels of intervention. An example of a crisis plan may be that a developmentally disabled adult that lives in a group home may become agitated and act out violently under certain circumstances. The level of intervention may begin with a call from a crisis worker to attempt to calm the individual. If the person has a PRN medication then that may be administered."

Meaning and Definition: Development means “a progressive series of changes that occur in an orderly predictable pattern as a result of maturation and experience”. The development of human being is a continuous process from conception to death.2. Psychology of People at Different Ages from Infancy to Old Age: Developmental psychology is concerned with the scientific understanding of age-related changes in experience and behaviour. Its task, as La Bouvie has pointed is “not only description but also explication of age-related changes in behaviour in terms of antecedent-consequent relationships”. Although most developmental theories have been specifically concerned with children, the ultimate aim is to provide an account of development throughout the life span. ADVERTISEMENTS: Some developmental psychologists study developmental change covering the life span from conception to death. By so doing, they attempt to give a complete picture of growth and decline. Among the different developmental psychologists, the views presented by Erickson and Havighurst appear to give a comprehensive picture of development of human individual from infancy to old age. These views are presented here."

Child development entails the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy. It is a continuous process with a predictable sequence, yet having a unique course for every child. It does not progress at the same rate and each stage is affected by the preceding developmental experiences. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life, genetics and prenatal development are usually included as part of the study of child development. Related terms include developmental psychology, referring to development throughout the lifespan, and pediatrics, the branch of medicine relating to the care of children. Developmental change may occur as a result of genetically-controlled processes known as maturation, [1] or as a result of environmental factors and learning, but most commonly involves an interaction between the two. It may also occur as a result of human nature and our ability to learn from our environment. There are various definitions of periods in a child's development, since each period is a continuum with individual differences regarding start and ending."

The question was raised at the UNESCO round table on \"\"Education and Knowledge Societies\"\", during the first World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS, 2003). The core changes brought by ICTs in society in society and in education, call for research on specific new forms of learning and epistemological issues regarding how learning occurs and how knowledge emerges, beyond the borders of traditional systems of education, thus opening a creative space where learning, innovation and work can be integrated (Senteni, 2004, 2005a; Senteni & Taurisson, 2005, Hakkarainen et al., 2004) (Brown & Diguid, 1991, 2001). Education has long been recognized as a critical mechanism for achieving development goals: it is generally agreed that many problems in the world, like the population explosion and the climate crisis, are connected with education. In the transition process towards economies increasingly based on knowledge creation and dissemination, higher education institutions are urged to change, pressed by a sense of competitive urgency and the fear of being left behind in these knowledge-based economies. When an institution is committed to change, it usually means a long term commitment to sustainable transformations of its system of activity.2 Goals In nowadays moving reality, the term pedagogy - the art or science of being a teacher - refers not only to strategies or styles of instruction but also to the facilitation and management of sustainable transformations, whether individual, social, structural or institutional. In this respect, most pedagogies should be regarded as inherently formative with respect to the role they play in the development of individuals, but their trans-formative dimension deserves to be clarified, revisited and eventually bent with regard to a) the responsibility of educators to transcend their traditional role and expand the scope of their work towards an active participation to knowledge advancement, and b) the role given to information and communications technologies (ICT) to act as mediating artifact of emerging networked educational systems, supporting peer-to-peer collaboration as well as learners' autonomy and responsibility for learning : (1) the responsibility of educators, practitioners, teachers, academics or stakeholders, to question, transform and expand the scope of their work towards an active participation to knowledge advancement."

The structure of the identity stage is discussed in terms of its more universal features and in terms of features more specific to North American society. The role played by “institutionalized moratoria” in influencing the outcome of the identity crisis and subsequent development is discussed in the context of two Eriksonian notions ignored in the literature: the value orientation stages and the struggle between the ego and superego for dominance of the personality. As part of the discussion, several constructive criticisms of Erikson's work are offered with the intent of making the theoretical formulation presented in this paper an appropriate basis for subsequent empirical investigations of his theory. One of the important implications of this paper is that it suggests that questions should be raised regarding the validity of the dominant research strategy currently in use. Previous article Next article DEVELOPMENTAL REVIEW 7, 273-325 (1987) A Formulation of Erikson's Theory of Ego Identity Formation JAMES E. CAND CHARLES LEVINE Department a/Sociology, University of Western Ontario. Canada This paper provides a comprehensive formulation of Erik Erikson's theory of ego identity formation as it pertains to both the identity stage and to the re- mainder of the life cycle. The structure of the identity stage is discussed in terms of its more universal features and in terms of features more specific to North American society. The role played by \"\"institutionalized moratoria\"\" in influencing the outcome of the identity crisis and subsequent development is discussed in the context of two Eriksonian notions ignored in the literature: the value orientation stages and the struggle between the ego and superego for dominance of the per- sonality. As part of the discussion, several constructive criticisms of Erikson's work are offered with the intent of making the theoretical formulation presented in this paper an appropriate basis for subsequent empirical investigations of his theory."

"text": "\"First published: 09 January, 2013 | Category: Corporate power, Economy, International The crisis that began in late 2007, and which seems to be continuing for the foreseeable future, has highlighted the role of global wholesale financial markets in creating what may be described as new dependency relationships. Old dependency theory was a structural-Marxist theory. It hypothesised that the world capitalist economy is structurally arranged to facilitate massive transfers of capital from developing countries to the developed world. The new dependency theory agrees that net outflows of capital from developing countries have been continuing unabated for the past three decades. But—and this is a key difference between new and old dependency theory—these illicit flows are a problem not only for developing countries but also for developed ones. This is so for two reasons. First, the net flow of capital is not necessarily transferred to or invested in the developed world. Rather, the transfer of financial resources from developing countries joins a large pool of capital registered in offshore locations. Second, there is evidence that developed countries are subject to net external outflow of capital as well. In contrast to old dependency theory, the new theory suggests that capital transfers do not necessarily operate on a regional or intra-national basis; rather, wholesale global financial markets have emerged as gigantic re-distributive machines that play a key role in the continuing and growing gap between rich and poor world-wide."

The challenges of stages not successfully completed may be expected to reappear as problems in the future. Contents [ show]Background Edit Erik Erikson developed the theory in the 1950s as an improvement on Sigmund Freud 's psychosexual stages. Erikson accepted many of Freud's theories (including the id, ego, and superego, and Freud's infantile sexuality represented in psychosexual development ), but rejected Freud's attempt to describe personality solely on the basis of sexuality. Also, Erikson criticized Freud for his concept of originology [1]. This states that all mental illness can be traced to early experiences in childhood."

All stages are present at birth, but only begin to unfold according to both a natural scheme and one's ecological and cultural upbringing. In each stage, the person confronts, and hopefully masters, new challenges. Each stage builds upon the successful completion of earlier stages. The challenges of stages not successfully completed may be expected to return as problems in the future. However, mastery of a stage is not required to advance to the next stage. The outcome of one stage is not permanent and can be modified by later experiences. Erikson's stage theory characterizes an individual advancing through the eight life stages as a function of negotiating his or her biological forces and sociocultural forces. Each stage is characterized by a psychosocial crisis of these two conflicting forces (as shown in the table below). If an individual does indeed successfully reconcile these forces (favoring the first mentioned attribute in the crisis), he or she emerges from the stage with the corresponding virtue."

"text": "\"Psychosocial Development in Middle Adulthood LOOKING AT THE LIFE COURSE IN MIDDLE AGEGuidepost 1: How do developmental scientists approach the study of psychosocial development in middle adulthood? Developmental scientists view midlife psychosocial development both objectively, in terms of trajectories or pathways, and subjectively, in terms of people's sense of self and the way they actively construct their lives. Change and continuity must be seen in context and in terms of the whole life span. CHANGE AT MIDLIFE: CLASSIC THEORETICAL APPROACHESGuidepost 2: What did classic theorists have to say about psychosocial change in middle age? Although some theorists hold that personality is essentially formed by midlife, there is a growing consensus that midlife development shows change as well as stability. Change can be maturational (normative) or nonnormative. Humanistic theorists such as Maslow and Rogers see middle age as an opportunity for positive change. Carl Jung held that men and women at midlife express previously suppressed aspects of personality. Two necessary tasks are giving up the image of youth and acknowledging mortality. Erikson's seventh psychosocial stage is generativity versus stagnation."

Children, youth and adolescents of Honduras, and in particular those that are living in abandonment on the streets have been facing for a significant period of time, a wave of violence that is affecting their life and wellbeing. Honduras is a country, that for some time now, has experienced an increase in violence in various sectors due to the economic, social and political crisis. There are various factors that have generated violence against the children and youth of Honduras: the groups in power, the poverty, inequality of genders, lack of communication, lack of community, the breakdown of the family, consumption of drugs and alcohol, among other issues. Poverty is manifested in the aspect of children and adolescants The violence generated by a dehumanized economic model has dragged three quarters (75%) of the population into a situation of poverty. The groups most vulnerable are children, youth and women. One of the consequences of these high levels of poverty is the breakdown of the family. One of the strategies of family survival is to send the children out onto the streets or to incorporate them in work. This frequently means that these children will be at a high risk to be exploited or victimized by a modern day type of slavery, sexual exploitation. Many families decide to immigrate or send their children to search for the “American dream” (a good job and the opportunity to send money back home to the family in Central America."

"text": "Search Child Psychology Degree Programs What Does a Child Psychologist Do? Child Psychology Career Basics With a thorough understanding of what makes children tick, child psychologists work with their young patients to diagnose and treat a variety of developmental, behavioral and emotional psychological disorders. The majority of child psychologists are focused on clinical care rather than research, meaning they work directly with patients to devise treatments and monitor their progress. Psychologists serving children can be found in a range of settings, including schools, hospitals, clinics and private practice. Those who do work in research are mostly considered with gaining better understanding of how behavioral and mental development affect children as they age. Child Psychology Careers In-Depth Child psychologists are tasked with ensuring the mental health of future generations, and this responsibility comes with many requirements. In addition to undergraduate educations, child psychologists must complete a doctoral program, numerous practicums and fieldwork placements, and supervised post-doctoral training. Aside from clinical and research positions, some child psychologists elect to work in administrative or programmatic roles, developing curriculums or other academic programs that help address behavior management or positive emotional and behavioral development. Child Psychologist Salaries & Job Growth Child Psychologist Salaries Across the USRoles for psychologists – including those who work with children – offered a median salary of $72,580 per year, while those in the upper echelons can expect to bring home close to $125,000 annually. Depending on the state where an aspiring child psychologist expects to practice, this number can fluctuate."

Symptoms of Down Syndrome Effects of Down Syndrome Every cell in the human body contains a nucleus, which stores genetic material. These genes carry our genetic code, which is grouped in rod-like structures called chromosomes, and are the material responsible for all inherited traits. In most people, the nucleus of the cell contains 23 chromosomes, half from each parent. Down Syndrome (DS) is also known as Trisomy 21, and is an inborn genetic condition in which a person has a full or partial additional extra copy of chromosome 21. The addition of this genetic material alters the normal development of a child with Down syndrome and causes the typical characteristics of the disorder. There are three different types of Down syndrome: trisomy 21 (nondisjunction), translocation, and mosaicism. Trisomy 21 (nondisjunction) – Down syndrome is usually called by an error in the typical division of cells that is called nondisjunction in which an embryo develops three copies of chromosome 21 rather than the usual two. Prior to – or at – conception, a pair of 21 st chromosomes in either the egg or sperm cell fails to separate and as the embryo develops, this additional chromosome is replicated throughout all cells in the body. Trisomy 21 accounts for 95% of all cases of Down Syndrome.call us todayfind a location near you »Translocation accounts for about 4% of cases of Down syndrome."

Who am I? What am I to do in life? These are two of the central questions in the development of a unique identity. Identity development is among the most important developmental task of life, beginning in infancy, but often being resolved during adolescent years. It must be noted that adults also experience a continually forming sense of self. Identify development is never complete. Erikson identified the goal of adolescence as achieving a coherent identity without confusion regarding identity (1959). Identity often is often accepted to include physical and sexual identity, occupational goals, religious beliefs, and ethnic background. The presence of intellectual disability is a relevant aspect as well."

Szilagyi Article Info & Metrics Comments Download PDFAbstract Nearly 750 000 children are currently in foster care in the United States. Recent trends in foster care include reliance on extended family members to care for children in kinship care placements, increased efforts to reduce the length of placement, acceleration of termination of parental rights proceedings, and emphasis on adoption. It is not clear what impact welfare reform may have on the number of children who may require foster care placement. Although most children enter foster care with medical, mental health, or developmental problems, many do not receive adequate or appropriate care while in placement. Psychological and emotional problems, in particular, may worsen rather than improve. Multiple barriers to adequate health care for this population exist. Health care practitioners can help to improve the health and well-being of children in foster care by performing timely and thorough admission evaluations, providing continuity of care, and playing an active advocacy role. Potential areas for health services research include study of the impact of different models of health care delivery, the role of a medical home in providing continuity of care, the perception of the foster care experience by the child, children's adjustment to foster care, and foster parent education on health outcomes.foster care child welfare children with special health care needs Despite efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect, decrease the rate of out-of-home placement of maltreated children through family preservation programs, and increase the number of adoptions of children out of foster care, nearly three-quarters of a million children are currently in foster care in the United States. 1 Over the past 2 decades, the greatest increase in placements has occurred among African-American children and infants and children <5 years old. Increasingly, there is a preference for placing children deemed in need of substitute care with kin."

The name “belladonna” means “beautiful lady,” and was chosen because of a risky practice in Italy. The belladonna berry juice was used historically in Italy to enlarge the pupils of women, giving them a striking appearance. This was not a good idea, because belladonna can be poisonous. Though widely regarded as unsafe, belladonna is used as a sedative, to stop bronchial spasms in asthma and whooping cough, and as a cold and hay fever remedy. It is also used for Parkinson's disease, colic, motion sickness, and as a painkiller. Belladonna is used in ointments that are applied to the skin for joint pain (rheumatism), leg pain caused by a disc in the backbone pushing on the sciatic nerve ( sciatica ), and nerve pain (neuralgia). Belladonna is also used in plasters (medicine-filled gauze applied to the skin) for treating psychiatric disorders, a behavior disorder called hyperkinesis, excessive sweating ( hyperhidrosis ), and bronchial asthma. Rectally, belladonna is used in hemorrhoid suppositories."

It’s three hours before a gig in early June at a dingy rock club in Milwaukee, and the perpetually busy multi-hyphenate — writer, director, rocker, pop culture philosopher — is attempting to lounge backstage on a futon. Except it’s stocked with so many pillows that he keeps sliding off. Finally, Zombie — who turned 50 this year but whose sinewy frame and Ghoul Power T-shirt 1 make him look 10 years younger — surrenders and crouches in front of the futon. Watching Rob Zombie fight off pillows is like witnessing an extremely low-stakes version of The Blob, the 1958 horror classic that Zombie wanted to remake in the late ’00s. Zombie has a personal credo: Don’t complain. If something doesn’t work, either work around it or drop it and move on. There’s always a better alternative than dwelling on temporary misfortune. This attitude has come in handy countless times during Zombie’s life and career, which was forged at the intersection of New York City’s punk and metal scenes in the ’80s."

"text": "Some of the most important health benefits of Cissus Quadrangularis include its ability to reduce inflammation, boost bone strength, improve respiratory conditions, strengthen the immune system, soothe pain, ease menstrual issues, protect your teeth, prevent diabetes, optimizing cardiovascular function, and help with weight loss issues. What is Cissus Quadrangularis? Closely related to common grapes, Cissus quadrangularis is a perennial plant with a number of common names [ 1], including Devil’s Backbone and Veldt Grape. Although it isn’t completely certain where Cissues quadrangularis first arose, India or Sri Lanka are two high contenders. However, this perennial plant is now found throughout Africa and Asia and is even exported to the United States due to its beneficial health qualities. Cissus quadrangularis has also been used in Ayurvedic treatments [ 2] for generations. The extracts of the plant have proven to be very useful in herbal medicine, and can now be accessed in supplement form in many parts of the world. The active ingredients in Cissus quadrangularis that make it so powerful include a range of carotenoids, triterpenoids, vitamins, and minerals. The initial popularity of the plant almost solely focused on its role in potential weight loss, but as more research was done, it was clear that the unique chemical composition of this seemingly unremarkable plant could benefit many other aspects of human health. Health Benefits of Cissus Quadrangularis To fully understand why this plant is so highly sought after, let’s take a more detailed look at the many health benefits of Cissus quadrangularis."

Choosing the right framework for your project can have a huge impact on your ability to deliver on time, and your ability to maintain your code in the future. You probably want a solid, stable and proven framework to build upon, but don't want to be limited by your choice. The web is evolving fast — new technologies arise, and old methodologies quickly become irrelevant. Under this light, we are going to go through an in-depth comparison of the three frameworks.##2 Meet The Frameworks All the frameworks we are going to meet today have a lot in common: they are open-sourced, released under the permissive MIT license, and try to solve the problem of creating Single Page Web Applications using the MV* design pattern. They all have the concept of views, events, data models and routing. We are going to start with some quick background and history, and then dive in to compare the three frameworks. Angular JS was born in 2009 as a part of a larger commercial product, called Get Angular. Shortly after, Misko Hevery, one of the engineers who founded Get Angular, managed to recreate a web application that consisted of 17 thousand lines of code and took 6 months to develop in a mere 3 weeks using just Get Angular. Reducing the size of the application to just about 1,000 lines of code convinced Google to start sponsoring the project, turning it into the open-source Angular JS we know today."

"text": "Why Shouldn’t You Ask an Indian for Curry? And a Recipe for Garam Masala May 24, 2013 By Puja Thomas-Patel 15 Comments When I was a kid I was always confused by the word “curry” because my non-Indian friends used it in a way that didn’t make any sense to me. They called everything from a dry potato saute with spices, to soupy lentils, to chicken in a cream sauce “curry.” Indians usually only use the word “curry” when they are speaking English and then only when referring to something with a sauce or gravy, rather than a spice. Curry is a word invented by the British back when they ruled India. It is the anglicized version of the Tamil word kari, meaning sauce and is now commonly used to describe almost any food of South Asian origin. I used to get really upset when people would use the word “curry”. I would insist that foods be called by their proper names because there is no such thing as curry in Indian food and that curries are a British invention. Over the years as I’ve introduced more and more friends to Indian food, and translated the traditional Indian names into English, I’ve found myself using the word “curry” more and more. It is useful as an English translation for the word masala (meaning a mix of spices)."

It is a form of administrative decentralization. Devolved territories have the power to make legislation relevant to the area. Devolution differs from federalism in that the devolved powers of the subnational authority may be temporary and are reversible, ultimately residing with the central government.

Also, seashells could be found in the strangest places, even on the tops of the highest mountain ranges. Even the ancient Greeks were aware of these fossilized remains of creatures. Heredotus (484-425 BC) suggested that they came about as a consequence of changes in the positions of the sea and land. Many theories regarding fossils have been propagated.

"text": "\"Postmodernism is a broad term used to describe movements in a wide range of disciplines, including art, philosophy, critical theory, and music. Many view it as a response to the preceding modernist movement, but where modernism simply reacts against classical concepts, particularly in the arts and literature, things that are postmodern take this reaction to its extreme conclusion. Indeed, some see it not as a separate movement, but simply as a continuation of the modernist struggle. The word itself has been used so widely as to strip it of much of its meaning. There is hardly a discipline of the arts or social sciences that has not spawned numerous movements given this label, and the aims of many of these movements seem to be contrary to one another. Nonetheless, most of the time when the term is applied, it indicates one of a smaller handful of meanings. In a pejorative sense, postmodernism implies an almost nihilistic outlook, stripping whatever the targeted sphere of any innate meaning. Views seen as being very relativist are often given this label in an effort to disparage them. Ad In the creative disciplines, such as painting, literature, music, and sculpture, postmodernism tends to lean heavily on using forms not traditionally perceived as artistic. Heavy use of kitsch or overly simplistic styles are two examples of this mode."

The Assembly will now be able to pass laws on all subjects in the 21 devolved areas without first needing the agreement of the UK Parliament. The result of the referendum does not mean that the Assembly can make laws in more areas than before. Elections Assembly elections take place every four years. The first Assembly was elected in 1999. In an Assembly election each registered voter has two votes. The first vote is for a local constituency Member."

"text": "\"The term \"\"decentralization\"\" embraces a variety of concepts which must be carefully analyzed in any particular country before determining if projects or programs should support reorganization of financial, administrative, or service delivery systems. Decentralization—the transfer of authority and responsibility for public functions from the central government to subordinate or quasi-independent government organizations and/or the private sector—is a complex multifaceted concept. Different types of decentralization should be distinguished because they have different characteristics, policy implications, and conditions for success. Types of Decentralization Types of decentralization include political, administrative, fiscal, and market decentralization. Drawing distinctions between these various concepts is useful for highlighting the many dimensions to successful decentralization and the need for coordination among them. Nevertheless, there is clearly overlap in defining any of these terms and the precise definitions are not as important as the need for a comprehensive approach. Political, administrative, fiscal and market decentralization can also appear in different forms and combinations across countries, within countries and even within sectors. Political Decentralization Political decentralization aims to give citizens or their elected representatives more power in public decision-making. It is often associated with pluralistic politics and representative government, but it can also support democratization by giving citizens, or their representatives, more influence in the formulation and implementation of policies. Advocates of political decentralization assume that decisions made with greater participation will be better informed and more relevant to diverse interests in society than those made only by national political authorities."

"text": "18As a server administrator in a busy job, you probably manage multiple server and device types on a regular basis. For example, on any particular day, you might need to establish an RDP session to your Windows domain controller to add a new user account; then you might need to open a Web browser admin session to your firewall to open a port for a new service. Once that's done and the new service is up and running on a Linux server in your organization, you may need to use SSH to connect to that Linux server to make a minor configuration change. In that single, realistic scenario, you've used three tools to get the job done. You've used an RDP-based remote desktop program, a Web browser, and an SSH client, such as Pu TTY. Of course, being an experienced administrator makes it a lot easier to remember what tool needs to be used to perform a particular task. However, when it comes to managing dozens or hundreds of servers and other network devices, remembering all of the various credentials for managing those devices can become quite the challenge!What if there was a tool out there that took the difficulty out of remembering how to connect to every device in your organization and that instead let you focus on the task at hand? I've recently run across a tool from Devolutions called Remote Desktop Manager that does just that. With an impressive feature set, Remote Desktop Manager makes it possible for you to define administrative connections for just about anything. Moreover, Remote Desktop Manager can remember passwords for many kinds of sessions, with the notable exception of devices that require a Web browser for administration."

"text": "\"Posted by Amy 134pc on March 16, 2016Plymouth City Council Leader hits back against budget cuts Tudor Evans, Leader of Plymouth City Council, hits back against the cuts the budget brings to Plymouth Tudor said:\"\"Over the last year George Osborne announced more cuts to support for local councils, saying that the gap would be made up by councils getting more business rates by 2020. At the moment everybody pays into a national pot; business rates are collected by councils locally, set by government nationally, and then redistributed around the country, because some parts of the country are weaker economically than London is. As it stands George Osborne’s proposal today is to let London keep all of the money it raises meaning none of that money will be available for distribution to the rest of the country, including areas like the South West. To make matters worse he has also announced today that there is to be a cut in the business rate even though councils have assumed there will be no cut as part of their budget making proposals over the next 3 years. That will mean huge holes in budgets across every local authority outside of London. The pressure will be felt most keenly on adult social care budgets, but every council service will be affected. Last but not least, it makes a mockery of devolution deals - those already negotiated and those in the process of negotiation. The initial bribe from Osborne was that only elected mayors would be able to increase or decrease the rate of business rates in their locality. But his declaration that everyone everywhere will see a reduction in business rates would seem to make a mockery of all of those who have agreed to have an elected mayor on the basis that they would have that freedom. Not only is his economic policy in tatters but his massive mess of a devolution policy would seem to have hit the buffers today.” \""

It’s a Budget that recognises the hard work and sacrifice of the British people over the past 5 years and says: we will not put that at risk, we have a job to do and we’re here to get on with it. This will be a Budget for working people. A Budget that sets out a plan for Britain for the next 5 years to keep moving us from a low wage, high tax, high welfare economy; to the higher wage, lower tax, lower welfare country we intend to create. This is the new settlement. From a one nation government, this is a one nation Budget that takes the necessary steps and follows a sensible path for the benefit of the whole of the United Kingdom. And this is a Budget that can only be delivered because the British people trusted us to finish the job. Because they know that the only way to have a strong NHS, strong schools, and a strong defence is to build a strong economy – that’s how we were elected, and is exactly what we will do.

Its distinctive feature, exemplified in the founding example of modern federalism by the United States of America under the Constitution of 1787, is a relationship of parity between the two levels of government established. [ 1] It can thus be defined as a form of government in which there is a division of powers between two levels of government of equal status. [ 2]Federalism differs from confederalism, in which the general level of government is subordinate to the regional level, and from devolution within a unitary state, in which the regional level of government is subordinate to the general level. [ 3] It represents the central form in the pathway of regional integration or separation, [4] bounded on the less integrated side by confederalism and on the more integrated side by devolution within a unitary state. [ 5]Leading examples of the federation or federal state include the United States, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, Argentina, Australia and India. Some also today characterize the European Union as the pioneering example of federalism in a multi-state setting, in a concept termed the federal union of states.

It is a form of decentralization. Devolved territories have the power to make legislation relevant to the area. Devolution differs from federalism in that the devolved powers of the subnational authority may be temporary and ultimately reside in central government, thus the state remains, de jure unitary.

Federalism has impacted and shaped American government from its very beginnings. Over the course of American history, federalism has constantly shifted and changed forms, never allowing the different branches of government to retain the same powers or rights, outside of what the Constitution guarantees. Many different types of federalism exist, in both the world and in past and present American government. Federalism is defined as a form of government in which a grouping of states or different groups are under the ruling of one, central power. In a federal form of government, both the national and state governments receive their power from the people. The early Federalists in America in the era preceding the independence of the colonies from Britain favored a strong national government, and would support the powers allocated to the central government in the Constitution. These federalists approved of a powerful central government, particularly with a bicameral legislature, and supported the manner in which federalism kept the direct power to rule out of the common man’s hands, who they did not see fit to govern the nation. As time has passed, the views of federalism and federalists have changed, along with the type of federalism present in the United States.http://mrkash.com/activities/images/federalism.jpg How does this diagram represent federalism?

"text": "\"Politics & Government Other - Politics & Government New Federalism and Devolution Revolution? Does anyone know what year New Federalism was passed (I think it was under Reagan) and what programs it put in place. - The same question with Devolution Revolution Thanks1 following 1 answer Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: New Federalism is a political philosophy of devolution, or of transfer of certain powers from the United States federal government to the U. S. states. The primary objective of New Federalism, unlike that of the eighteenth-century political philosophy of Federalism, is the restoration to the states of some of the autonomy and power which they lost to the federal government as a consequence of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and federal civil rights laws of the 1960s. It relies upon a Federalist tradition dating back to the founding of the country, as well as the Tenth Amendment. As a policy theme, New Federalism typically involves the federal government providing block grants to the states to resolve a social issue. The federal government then monitors outcomes but provides broad discretion to the states for how the programs are implemented. Advocates of this approach sometimes cite a quotation from a dissent by Louis Brandeis in New State Ice Co. v. Liebmann: It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous state may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country. From 1937 to 1995, the Supreme Court of the United States did not void a single Act of Congress for exceeding Congress's power under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, instead holding that anything that could conceivably have even a slight impact on commerce was subject to federal regulation. It was thus seen as a (narrow) victory for federalism when the Rehnquist Court reined in federal regulatory power in United States v. Lopez (1995) and United States v. Morrison (2000)."

[ 5] From 2009, the Dev Ops term has been steadily promoted and brought into more mainstream usage through a series of \"\"devopsdays\"\", [6] which started in Belgium and has now spread to other countries. [ 7]The term Dev Ops has been used in multiple different contexts. [ 8]A definition proposed by Bass, Weber, and Zhu, is: Dev Ops is a set of practices intended to reduce the time between committing a change to a system and the change being placed into normal production, while ensuring high quality. [ 9]In recent years, more tangential Dev Ops initiatives have also evolved, such as Ops Dev, [10] Win Ops, [11], Dev Sec Ops, and Biz Dev Ops. [ 12]Dev Ops toolchain [ edit]Illustration showing stages in a Dev Ops toolchain See also: Dev Ops toolchain As Dev Ops is intended to be a cross-functional mode of working, rather than a single Dev Ops tool there are sets (or \"\" toolchains \"\") of multiple tools. [ 13] Such Dev Ops tools are expected to fit into one or more of these categories, reflective of key aspects of the development and delivery process: [14] [15]Code — code development and review, source code management tools, code merging Build — continuous integration tools, build status Test — continuous testing tools that provide feedback on business risks Package — artifact repository, application pre-deployment staging Release — change management, release approvals, release automation Configure — infrastructure configuration and management, Infrastructure as Code tools Monitor — applications performance monitoring, end–user experience Some categories are more essential in a Dev Ops toolchain than others; especially continuous integration (e.g. Jenkins) and infrastructure as code (e.g. Puppet ).

The main reason why the CALMS word was chosen for the devops world was because of the unlimited marketing oportunities it offers. For instance, you could use the “Keep CALMS and carry on” slogan and plaster it all over anything that you can actually print onto, like T-Shirts, mugs, foreheads, powerpoint presentations etc and so forth. CLAMS? The next trick was to work out what the CALMS should stand for. This was the hard part, and required the input of some of the smartest minds in the devops world to come together and use their collective brainpower to think of some devops words that would conveniently fit the CALMS acronym. So, in May 2013 or something (lets say), some people with names like Gene, John, Jeremy, David, John and Adrian all got together at the top of a mountain in North Wales and meditated on the CALMS acronym."

"text": "\"Design Tweet Permalink What Exactly is Dev Ops? By Neil Garnichaud, December 24, 20122 Comments The latest trend in software development is the culture of Dev Ops, in which developers partner with operations staff to assure that software runs with a minimum of problems. Many organizations find themselves in a challenging situation with the rise of cloud-based Web applications that allow for quick releases in response to issues or requests coming in from the user community. Responsiveness to their user base is the goal of every software development shop, but it can put a strain on the functional teams within the organization. This strain often results in more defects and consequent disruption to the team. Dev Ops attempts to solve this problem by developing a partnership between Development and Operations (hence, the name). In this structure, the development team supports operational requirements such as deploy scripts, diagnostics, and load and performance testing from the beginning of the cycle; and the operations team provides knowledgeable support and feedback before, during, and after deployment. Dev Ops is the direction in which many software development teams are going. They have to, given the pressures organizations are under to produce higher-quality code faster with less time available for QA. This is a new environment and many developers will need to adjust if they want to prosper."

If you are interested in IT management — and web operations in particular — you might have recently heard the term “Dev Ops” being tossed around. The #Dev Ops tag pops up regularly on Twitter. Dev Ops meetups and Dev Ops Days conferences, are gaining steam. Dev Ops is, in many ways, an umbrella concept that refers to anything that smoothes out the interaction between development and operations. However, the ideas behind Dev Ops run much deeper than that. What is Dev Ops all about? Dev Ops is a response to the growing awareness that there is a disconnect between what is traditionally considered development activity and what is traditionally considered operations activity. This disconnect often manifests itself as conflict and inefficiency. As Lee Thompson and Andrew Shafer like to put it, there is a “Wall of Confusion” between development and operations."

What is the Dev and what is the Ops in Dev Ops? The role of Operations can mean a lot of things and even different things to different people. Dev Ops is becoming more and more popular but a lot of people are confused on the topic of who does what. So let’s make a list of the responsibilities operations traditionally has and then figure out what developers should be doing, and which if any responsibilities should be shared. Operations responsibilities IT buying Installation of server hardware and OSConfiguration of servers, networks, storage, etc…Monitoring of servers Respond to outages IT security Managing phone systems, network Change control Backup and disaster recovery planning Manage active directory Asset tracking Shared Development & Operations duties Software deployments Application support Some of these traditional responsibilities have changed in the last few years. Virtualization and the cloud have greatly simplified buying decisions, installation, and configuration. For example, nobody cares what kind of server we are going to buy anymore for a specific application or project. We buy great big ones, virtualize them, and just carve out what we need and change it on the fly. Cloud hosting simplifies this even more by eliminating the need to buy servers at all."

"text": "Dev Ops Definition - What does Dev Opsmean? The term Dev Ops is commonly considered a combination of the concepts of development and operations. It is used in IT to refer to roles or processes that bridge various department – usually development and operations teams – to achieve a certain project management philosophy that involves more efficiency in communications between development teams and other parts of a greater business or organization. Techopedia explains Dev Ops Some explain Dev Ops as a byproduct of Agile development, a design theory aimed at cross-functional development and the examination of code iterations for efficiency. Dev Ops also may be described as a link between development, quality assurance (QA) and other departments. Another aspect of Dev Ops is a phenomenon in which skilled professionals automate formerly manual processes, where developers become users of their own software, and manual labor related to an infrastructure becomes unnecessary. New technologies, like cloud computing, have expanded what is possible in Dev Ops, and the approach has become popular in the tech community. As Dev Ops becomes more popular in IT, public forums and conventions have rallied around this central idea. Many experts are talking about ways to use Dev Ops to streamline operational efficiency or improve working relationships across large organizations."

The term \"\"Dev Ops\"\" is about 5 years old, and the community still has no consensus on what that word really means, even though it's full of thought leaders who'll claim to be able to tell you. A recent blog post went into detail about the lack of a widely agreed-upon definition and the search for one at the recent Dev Ops State of the Union. You can read it the whole thing here, but the basic idea is that participants actively tried to come up with a simple definition, and couldn't. One definition was given, some guys from Netflix disagreed, and the author followed up with:\"\"I threw out my definition that I believed that Dev Ops really was just the increased probability that an organization is going to find product / market fit with their solution. \"\" What does that mean? None of these words actually say anything. If you boil it way down, it comes out to something like: \"\"Dev Ops... is good?\"\" Clearly, the concept of Dev Ops has a marketing problem, and it's making the hurdle to entry for new participants in the Dev Ops community needlessly high.

So datacenters sprang up. With data centers, most of the above steps didn’t change except between steps 3 & 4 you would send your engineers out to the datacenter location. Trips back and forth ate up time and energy. Then along came managed hosting. Managed hosting saved companies a lot of headache, wasted man hours, and other resources. They allowed your company to do more of what it does well, run the business, and less on managing hardware and infrastructure.

I think it’s important for product managers to understand the impact their choices have on software operability, and for engineering teams — whether Dev Ops or other — to have an understanding of how their choices affect product. I want to call out three practices we use in building, shipping, and operating software at Pager Duty, and how they help our product team ship more value to customers. Fast, Frequent, and Stable Deploys Most of our Github repos have continuous integration or continuous deployment setup. When you open a pull request, your code is magically slurped up to the cloud, a battery of tests is run on it, and if they all pass, you get a big green “safe to deploy” check mark. We also have Chat Ops deployment. There’s a channel in Slack where you can ask a bot to throw any branch of any repo on any environment, including production. This also makes it really easy to investigate and roll back bad deploys, and generally helps with visibility about what’s going on in our infrastructure. Having experienced this magic, I cannot imagine going back to a world where development and deployment require taking the site down for maintenance, or going through a separate team. Product Managers live and die by the feedback loop — the longer you go without seeing live product and learning from it, the bigger the risk you incur."

"text": "Dev Ops and the Product Owner Written by Dev Ops Guys | Published: December 16, 2013 | Updated: May 18, 2016In a previous post we talked a lot about the “Product-centric” approach to Dev Opsbut what does this mean for the role of the Agile “Product Owner”? So what is the traditional role of the Product Owner? Agile author Mike Cohn from Mountain Goat Software defines it thus:“The Scrum product owner is typically a project’s key stakeholder. Part of the product owner responsibilities is to have a vision of what he or she wishes to build, and convey that vision to the scrum team. This is key to successfully starting any agile software development project. The agile product owner does this in part through the product backlog, which is a prioritized features list for the product. The product owner is commonly a lead user of the system or someone from marketing, product management or anyone with a solid understanding of users, the market place, the competition and of future trends for the domain or type of system being developed” – Mike Cohn The definition above is very “project-centric” – the Product Owner’s role appears to be tied to the existence and duration of the project and their focus is on the delivery of “features”. Dev Ops, conversely, asks us (in the “ First Way of Dev Ops ”) to use “Systems Thinking” and focus on the bigger picture (not just “feature-itis”) and the “Product-centric” approach says we need to focus on the entire lifecycle of the product, not just the delivery of a project/feature/phase. Whilst decomposing the “big picture” into “features” is something we completely agree with, as features should be the “unit of work” for your Scrum teams or “Agile Software Development Factory”, it needs to be within the context of the Product Lifecycle (and the “feature roadmap”). So the key shift here then is to start talking about the “Product Lifecycle Owner”, not just the Product Owner, and ensure that Systems Thinking is a critical skill for that role."

It is expressed as percentage. Relative humidity does not tell how much water vapour is actually in the air. but, it tells how close the air is to being saturated. So, air is said to be saturated or full if relative humidity is 100%. Relative humidity ( Rh) is inversely related to the air temperature .i.e. if temperature is increases, the Rh decreases and vice versa. That's why the Rh is higher at higher surafaces (temperature decreases with height), sunrising (minimum temperature) and lower at ground (temperature is grater than the higher surfaces), late afternoon (Maximum temperature). The following figure shows clearly the relation bet ween air's temperature and relative humidity.

Water vapour is the only gas that can change into a liquid or solid under ordinary atmospheric conditions, and it is this characteristic that causes most of the weather to develop.

For example, the dew point, defined as the temperature at which air moisture begins to condense, is a significant factor in HVAC, heating, venting and cooling technologies. It is also important in determining potential corrosion in metals, and in numerous chemical manufacturing processes. Because of its vital role in vast processes, precise dew point measurement tools have become a fundamental utility in everyday industrial functions. Effective Dew Point Tools: Hygrometers Generally, hygrometers, or cooled mirrors, have been the conventional tool used for precise dew point measurement. The device is considered to be a humidity transfer standard. The process entails cooling a mirror until water vapor begins to condense on the surface. The temperature of the mirror is measured. This projects the dew point of the air. This process is generally used in laboratory practices, and for monitoring the environments of storage venues."

"text": "\"Relative Humidity and Dew Point as a Function of Altitude -- A Way to Estimate Cloud Ceilings Air temperature drops as we rise in altitude above the surface. At some point the air temp drops to the dew point of the air at which point the water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water, and this water we see condensed onto specs of dust in the air makes up the clouds. All air contains some amount of water vapor, varying from just a fraction of a percent (by weight) for cold dry desert air, on up to some 3% for hot steaming jungles.... and, sure enough, all air contains some dust! If we consider the Standard Atmosphere (a set of average values invented by aircraft design engineers to facilitate their work) as a starting point, we can find tables of properties showing how air temperature decreases with altitude in this model atmosphere. It does so at a rate (sometimes called the average lapse rate) of -3.6° F per 1,000 ft, starting at 59° F at the surface, height = 0. Thus at 2,000 ft, the temperature has dropped to 52° F. There is no Standard Atmosphere dew point or relative humidity; it assumes the air is dry. So we have to add the water ourselves if we want to think about that. To do this, we need a careful look at the definitions and some properties of water. We tend to think of relative humidity as a property of the air and end up with such phrases as the \"\"air can hold so much water vapor at this temperature,\"\" etc, but this is very misleading. These two gases (air and water vapor) are essentially independent, and it is actually the properties of the water that matter here, not the properties of the air."

At this point, the air is so full of moisture that it cannot hold any more water. Thus, dew forms on anything that is at the dew point or lower. Often dew forms at night, because the air cools at night and can easily reach the dew point. The closer the dew point is to the actual temperature, the more humid it is.

An analogy to think of is water vapor is \"\"dissolved\"\" in air. The warmer the air, the more water vapor can be \"\"dissolved\"\". If the air gets colder (say, because it is night time or you move upward in the atmosphere), the air can no longer have as much water vapor \"\"dissoved\"\". So some of it turns into liquid form, either as fog (liquid droplets) suspended in the air, or as liquid (or ice) accumulated on surfaces like grass, buildings, etc. Dew point can be thought of as the \"\"absolute\"\" humidity of the air.

The term dew point is good example. In the compressed air industry dew point is always a measurement of water content. However in the natural gas industry, at least in North America, water content is stated in terms of pounds of moisture per million standard cubic feet (MMSCF). In the gas industry dew point often refers to hydrocarbon dew point. According to the source of all truth, Wikipedia: The hydrocarbon dew point is the temperature (at a given pressure) at which the hydrocarbon components of any hydrocarbon-rich gas mixture, such as natural gas, will start to condense out of the gaseous phase. It is often also referred to as the HDP or the HCDP. The maximum temperature at which such condensation takes place is called the cricondentherm. The hydrocarbon dew point is a function of the gas composition as well as the pressure. It’s important to realize that untreated natural gas is a mixture of many different gases."

"text": "\"Home »Physics What Happens to Relative Humidity as Air Temperature Rises? By John Brennan; Updated January 30, 2018Meteorologists measure or talk about humidity in a number of different ways. One of the key measurements they use is relative humidity because this determines how dry the air actually feels. Relative humidity is a function of both how much moisture the air contains and the temperature. If you raise the temperature while keeping moisture content constant, the relative humidity decreases. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)Hot air has the capacity to hold more water than cooler air -- so if the temperature rises and there's no extra moisture added to the air, the relative humidity will go down. Equilibrium Water condenses to form liquid and evaporates to form gas all the time. The more liquid water there is, the faster it evaporates; the more water vapor there is, the faster it condenses. Eventually these two processes reach a balance where water vapor condenses just as fast as liquid water evaporates. This is called an equilibrium, and the air at this point is said to be \"\"saturated\"\" with water vapor."

Fifty percent humidity is a sponge half full. Humidity describes the amount of water vapor or water molecules in the air. Weather scientists use the term “relative humidity,” which Joe Sobel, a meteorologist and senior vice president at Accuweather described as “a comparison of the amount of moisture in the air versus the amount of moisture the air could hold. ”Think of the atmosphere as a sponge that can hold a fixed amount of water, let’s say a gallon of water. “ If there is no water in the sponge… then the relative humidity would be zero,” Sobel said. Saturate the sponge with half a gallon of water – half of what it is capable of holding – and that relative humidity climbs to 50 percent."

Dry bulb is simply the temp you are accustomed to reading on a thermometer.08-23-2011, 08:49 PM #3dandyme Professional Member*Join Date Dec 2002Location South East NC ICW & Piedmont Foothills Posts 7,698Post Likesthis was discussed elsewhere on here not long ago."

"text": "\"Select a tutorial below or scroll down... The Forecasting of Dew The Forecasting of Frost Frost Point and Dew Point Dew/Frost Thickness Functions THE FORECASTING OF DEWMETEOROLOGIST JEFF HABY Morning condensation (dew) is very common in some regions and can easily be forecasted. The favorable weather elements for dew include clear skies, light wind, decent soil moisture, and low night-time dewpoint depressions. Dew forms when the temperature becomes equal to the dewpoint. This often happens first at ground level for two reasons. First, longwave emission causes the earth's surface to cool at night. Condensation requires the temperature to decrease to the dewpoint. Second, the soil is often the moisture source for the dew. Warm and moist soils will help with the formation of dew as the soil cools overnight. The cooling of warm and moist soil during the night will cause condensation especially on clear nights. Clear skies allow for the maximum release of longwave radiation to space."

Countries that face threats from within and outside their borders have to deal with different security risks. This kind of reality forces countries to raise powerful armies to protect and defend their interests. The numbers below are provided by the International Institute for Strategic Studies in their 2017 report.

In brief: CAMDS is the Chinese version of IMDS. China has introduced its own web-based product data management platform for the automotive industry in order to comply with the recycling- and reuse requirements (China ELV) for automotive products: CAMDS (China Automotive Material Data System). It is – same as IMDS - a material data system with nearly the same functionalities. However, it is conceived differently in part and calls for a slightly different procedure. CAMDS is likewise meant to ensure that the required reuse rate is adhered to and that prohibited substances are either not used or their use is restricted. Furthermore, it ensures that the recycling of Chinese automotive parts is improved. Same as IMDS, CAMDS presents a solution with which the chemical composition of automotive parts can be tracked across the entire supply chain."

It is believed that the Native Americans of the Lake Mojave Period lived in the area, though the first recorded Native American settlements and pioneer explorations didn’t occur until 1796. Father Francisco Barces from Spain traveled the Mojave Indian Trail that year, and during that time he recorded sights of several small groups of Native Americans. His recordings are some of the earliest made and many historians believe that he was the first European to make contact with the Native Americans living in the Fort Irwin area. History of Fort Irwin A fur trapper by the name of Jedediah Smith is thought to have been the first American to explore the Fort Irwin area. He started his travels in 1826, but was soon followed by other pioneers that were traveling on the Old Spanish Trail between Santa Fe and Los Angeles. The first members of the United States Army visited the site in 1844. CPT John C. Fremont and Kit Carson established a camp near Bitter Springs, a popular stopping place on the Old Spanish Trail. This camp also became a rest stop for those pioneers traveling the Mormon Trail from California to Salt Lake City. When the California Gold Rush hit, it brought both wealth and trouble to the Fort Irwin area."

"text": "Five Things To Know About DHCP Snooping Ethan Banks September 25, 2012This is a new format of blog post I’m trying out. The idea is to put key points about a technology into easily digestible bullet points. I’ll draw from textbook knowledge and real-world experience to sum up the “what” and the “why”. If you know “what” and “why”, the “how” becomes an exercise in syntax which you can look up, so I probably won’t belabor individual coding steps as much. I might also toss in a few things I learned from real-world deployments. This overview of DHCP snooping is in the context of Cisco Catalyst switches running IOS, although I suspect DHCP snooping in other vendors’ switches will function similarly.1. What is DHCP snooping? DHCP snooping is a layer 2 security technology built into the operating system of a capable network switch that drops DHCP traffic determined to be unacceptable. The fundamental use case for DHCP snooping is to prevent unauthorized (rogue) DHCP servers offering IP addresses to DHCP clients. Rogue DHCP servers are often used in man in the middle or denial of service attacks for malicious purposes."

This document includes the following sections:• Feature Overview• Supported Platforms• Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs• Configuration Tasks• Configuration Examples• Command Reference Feature Overview The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server needed to be able to dynamically configure options such as the Domain Name System (DNS) and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) addresses to respond to DHCP requests from local clients behind the customer premises equipment (CPE). Previously, network administrators needed to manually configure the Cisco IOS DHCP server on each device enabled with this feature. After a router is deployed, it is labor-intensive, time consuming, and expensive to go to each location and make modifications. Consequently, the Cisco IOS DHCP server was enhanced to allow configuration information to be updated automatically. Network administrators can configure one or more centralized DHCP servers to update specific DHCP options within the DHCP pools. The remote servers can request or \"\"import\"\" these option parameters from the centralized servers. Benefits Dynamic configuration saves time and speeds the deployment of services to customers."

"text": "SOLVED: What is the PEN and COMPUTER Icon in DHCPJanuary 17, 2014Typically DHCP Leases show an computer icon with a clock on it, this is normal and good. However, if you see a Pen on that computer instead of the clock, it is telling you that DHCP has some pending writes to DNS. This not good. In my case it meant that my DHCP scope had bled into a new class C range which was not setup in REVERSE DNS. This was a super easy fix. The above icon indicates “Active lease, DNS dynamic update pending. This address is not available for lease by the DHCP server.” DHCP is configured to “Automatically update DHCP client information in DNS” and “Update DNS only if DHCP client requests”. To correct this issue do the following: Create a reverse lookup zone in DNS for the subnet of the affected leases. Verify that both the Forward Lookup Zone and Reverse Lookup Zone allow Dynamic Updates (either Secure or Non-Secure)."

Network problems can be the result of a wide range of issues, from minimal disruptions in service to simple configuration problems of the operating system. In order to tackle network problems, the computer industry leans heavily toward a layered network approach, known as the ISO/OSI (International Organization for Standardization Open System Interconnection) model. Another model used is the standard TCP/IP model, also a layered network approach. The layers of both models are shown below in Figure 1. The stratification of the network allows a programmer to focus on a layer within a model, without having to understand the layers above or below."

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

"title": "https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/dhcp.html\nDynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)",
"text": "\"The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network service that enables host computers to be automatically assigned settings from a server as opposed to manually configuring each network host. Computers configured to be DHCP clients have no control over the settings they receive from the DHCP server, and the configuration is transparent to the computer's user. The most common settings provided by a DHCP server to DHCP clients include: IP address and netmask IP address of the default-gateway to use IP adresses of the DNS servers to use However, a DHCP server can also supply configuration properties such as: Host Name Domain Name Time Server Print Server The advantage of using DHCP is that changes to the network, for example a change in the address of the DNS server, need only be changed at the DHCP server, and all network hosts will be reconfigured the next time their DHCP clients poll the DHCP server. As an added advantage, it is also easier to integrate new computers into the network, as there is no need to check for the availability of an IP address. Conflicts in IP address allocation are also reduced. A DHCP server can provide configuration settings using the following methods: Manual allocation (MAC address)This method entails using DHCP to identify the unique hardware address of each network card connected to the network and then continually supplying a constant configuration each time the DHCP client makes a request to the DHCP server using that network device. This ensures that a particular address is assigned automatically to that network card, based on it's MAC address. Dynamic allocation (address pool)In this method, the DHCP server will assign an IP address from a pool of addresses (sometimes also called a range or scope) for a period of time or lease, that is configured on the server or until the client informs the server that it doesn't need the address anymore. This way, the clients will be receiving their configuration properties dynamically and on a \"\"first come, first served\"\" basis. When a DHCP client is no longer on the network for a specified period, the configuration is expired and released back to the address pool for use by other DHCP Clients."

A dental health maintenance organization or DHMO is a type of dental plan. In this type of plan, a group of dentists provides broad and affordable care at a low monthly premium. The dentists who work with DHMOs get fixed fees each month. Most of the work is done at no cost or for a reduced price. You may need to make a copayment for some types of work. If you get a DHMO plan, you will need to choose a primary dentist. You must also tell the plan provider or carrier if you want to change your dentist. There are no waiting periods, calendar year maximums, deductibles, or claim forms when you have a DHMO plan. Master the basics: learn about the twenty most used dental insurance terms."

At my age I would not mind re-aquiring some of these myself, but as a retired Chemistry professor and habitual imbiber of tap-water, it disturbs me to see crackpot chemistry, pseudoscientific mind-mush and outright lies used to promote these products to consumers whose lack of scientific training leaves them unprotected from this exploitation. This Web site is directed primarily to those who are concerned about their health, but who lack the technical background to distinguish science from pseudoscience when the two are closely intertwined. It is also recommended for teachers to use as resource material in courses about consumer protection, pseudoscience, or critical thinking. In the rather long page below, I try to present a critical examination of some of the claims about the nature and action of these fictional structure-altered waters (\"\" SAW \"\") in the context of the science as I believe it is presently known and understood. It is my hope that readers will thus be better equipped to make their own decisions about the value of these products. Water clusters: the science Chemists have long recognized water as a substance having unusual and unique properties that one would not at first sight expect from a small molecule having the formula H 2 O. It is generally agreed that the special properties of water stem from the tendency of its molecules to associate, forming short-lived and ever-changing polymeric units that are sometimes described as \"\"clusters\"\". These clusters are more conceptual than physical in nature; they have no directly observable properties, and their transient existence (on the order of picoseconds) does not support an earlier view that water is a mixture of polymers (H 2 O) n in which n can have a variety of values."

In particular explain insurance policies here at Manhattan Bridge Orthodontics. There are many different types of dental insurance plans, PPOs, DMOs, Medicaid, Union dental plans, and discount dental plans, each having different rules and restrictions on coverage for braces (or Invisalign) and sorting out these differences can be a daunting task. PPO Insurance Plans The most common type of dental insurance are PPOs also known as Preferred Provider Organization – most people have these. These plans are usually offered through your employer and are accepted by almost all dental offices. PPO plans usually allow a fixed amount for you to apply toward the cost of your orthodontic treatment. If you have a PPO plan, here are a few things you should find out. Does my plan have orthodontic benefits? If so, what is the lifetime maximum coverage amount? Are there any age limitations?"

Use \"\"Back\"\" to return here. There's a lot of fascinating literature on links between various cultural attributes and environment. Much of the data for these conclusions comes from massive cultural inventories like R. Textor's Cross Cultural Summary and G. P. Murdock's Ethnographic Atlas. One of the most conspicuous patterns is that forest societies in environments of plenty tend to be polytheistic, egalitarian, nonviolent, sexually tolerant, with substantial rights for women. Desert societies tend to be monotheistic, socially stratified, prone to warfare, have strong sexual taboos and are male-dominated. Since much of the world is dominated by monotheistic religions originating in deserts, this pattern is significant. James De Meo coined the term \"\"Saharasia\"\" for the core region of desert cultures, consisting of North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. He contends that desertification about 4000 BC led to the rise of warlike, male-dominated, repressive cultures, which he describes as patristic. These cultures supplanted the older, gentler ( matristic) cultures in the Saharasian heartland, which then spread elements of their culture around the world."

"text": "Dihydrogen Monoxide and Cancer The causative link between Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) and Cancer is currently not established, although a significant amount of evidence seems to suggest that DHMO at least plays a role in the formation of cancer, including: Hodgkin's Lymphoma,Ewing's Tumor,chondrosarcoma,fibrosarcoma,multiple myeloma,colorectal cancer,Leukemia,basal cell carcinoma,squamous cell carcinoma, andmalignant melanoma. Detection and Treatment What is known about these cancers is that Dihydrogen Monoxide is found in detectable and biologically significant levels in virtually all tumors and other cancerous and pre-cancerous growths. Cancer research has made significant advances in the detection and treatment of many forms of cancers. With each new advancement, the role DHMO plays in the cause of cancer is likely to be better understood. How Carcinogenic is Dihydrogen Monoxide? Dihydrogen Monoxide is not believed to be carcinogenic, although it is known to be a component of a number of cancer-causing agents. Additionally, the cause of approximately 20 percent of all cancers is not known, and there is reason to suspect that DHMO may play some role in these as well. Clearly, more research is needed before DHMO's role is fully enumerated. Find out more about Cancer To find out more about cancer research, we suggest visiting these web sites: American Brain Tumor Association American Cancer Society American Prostate Society Cancer Help - Comprehensive Cancer Resources Healthopedia - Cancers & Tumors section National Cancer Institute Yahoo: Health: Diseases and Conditions: Cancer Supporting Researchers Medical imaging and hospital information systems are frequently an important tool in diagnosing and tracking cancer patterns in the population, and DHMO.org supports efforts to produce software technology, such as DICOM medical imaging software systems , DICOM data migration tools and DICOM programmer SDKs to make that happen. We offer free DHMO testing to software professionals who are working to find a cure for cancer through DICOM development."

"text": "\"Dihydrogen Monoxide FAQFrequently Asked Questions About Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO)What is Dihydrogen Monoxide? Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol. For more detailed information, including precautions, disposal procedures and storage requirements, refer to one of the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available for DHMO: Kemp Compliance & Safety MSDS for DHMOChem-Safe, Inc. MSDS for Dihydrogen Monoxide Applied Petrochemical Research MSDS for Hydric Acid Original DHMO.org Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Dihydrogen Monoxide (html)Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide? Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U. S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful. Research conducted by award-winning U. S. scientist Nathan Zohner concluded that roughly 86 percent of the population supports a ban on dihydrogen monoxide. Although his results are preliminary, Zohner believes people need to pay closer attention to the information presented to them regarding Dihydrogen Monoxide. He adds that if more people knew the truth about DHMO then studies like the one he conducted would not be necessary."

"text": "Is Arestin® a red flag? September 5, 2014 By Trish Walraven 48 Comments Not long ago, all dental practices were owned by the dentist who took care of you. Sure, they might not have given you any anesthetic before they smashed silver crunchy metal into your cavities, and they may have slapped you around and given you Post Traumatic Stress Disorder any time you thought about opening your mouth wide for anyone, but at least you knew that the dentist shoving their knuckles into your nostrils was the one dictating how things were done around there. Since then, dentistry has gone all Wal-Mart on the public. There are thousands of dental offices that are part of large chains, where the dentists who take care of you are merely employees, where the quality of dental care provided to patients is secondary and instead the amount of profit generated by each provider becomes the indication of that person’s worth within the company. Can you imagine a leaderboard, like in a sales department, where all the dentists’ production numbers are on display for the entire office, so it’s a race to see who can make the most money? As a patient, don’t you get giddy at the thought of being ridden like a thoroughbred horse? Me neither. My health is not a commodity. Dentistry is a little different creature than regular medicine in the sense that TEETH ARE OPTIONAL."

As I sit here reading the ingredients list of my Jones Soda (excuse me, \"\"Pure Cane Soda\"\"), I notice in the list of ingredients that it lists \"\"inverted cane sugar\"\" as its second ingredient. So I must ask, exactly what is this stuff? The larger packages proudly proclaim their products don't have high-fructose corn syrup, yet some websites seem to think that this inverted cane sugar is nutritionally no better than HFCS. Wikipedia's stance on it seems poorly written and more relevant to a baker's POV. So what's the deal? How much better for you is it than HFCS (if any) or how much worse than straight granulated sugar? Please try to explain this in a manner that won't fry my brain from the complex chemistry of the glucoses and fructoses and such.

"text": "\"What's the Difference Between an HMO vs PPO? When it comes to health insurance, identifying the differences between an HMO and a PPOcan be challenging. You’ve probably heard of HMOs, PPOs, and perhaps some other acronyms. But what are they? What’s the difference between them? And more importantly, how do you decide which is the best one for you? What is the Difference Between a HMO vs PPO? To start, HMO stands for “health maintenance organization,” and the coverage restricts patients to a particular group of physicians called a “network.” PPO is short for“preferred provider organization”and allows patients to choose any physician they wish, either inside or outside of their network. HMOs and PPOs are both types of managed care, which is a way for insurers to help control costs."

"text": "\"Share Print Dr Karl › Dr Karl's Great Moments In Science Mysterious killer chemical Related Stories Audio: Mysterious Killer Chemical (ABC Science)Early in 2006, commercial fishers were forbidden to ply their trade in Sydney Harbour. The problem was toxic quantities of the nasty chemical, dioxin, getting into their fish. The problem had apparently been present for many years, but had been ignored. Unfortunately, this is the case with many chemicals, where elected officials hope that the problem will land on the next government in power. Consider the chemical Di Hydrogen Mon Oxide, usually called DHMO. It's found in many different cancers, but there's no proven causal link between its presence and the cancers in which it lurks - so far. The figures are astonishing - DHMO has been found in over 95% of all fatal cervical cancers, and in over 85% of all cancers collected from terminal cancer patients. Despite this, it is still used as an industrial solvent and coolant, as a fire retardant and suppressant, in the manufacture of biological and chemical weapons, in nuclear power plants - and surprisingly, by elite athletes in some endurance sports. However, the athletes later find that withdrawal from DHMO can be difficult, and sometimes, fatal. Medically, it is almost always involved in diseases that have sweating, vomiting and diarrhoea as their symptoms."

Tricuspid Stenosis The tricuspid stenosis murmur is diastolic and a soft rumble, heard best at the left lower sternal border. It will increase in intensity with inspiration (Carvallo sign). Other clinical signs include giant \"\"a\"\" waves on the jugular venous pulse, loss of the \"\"y\"\" descent on jugular venous pulse, an increase in jugular venous pressure on inspiration (Kussmaul sign), and a jugular presystolic click. Otherwise, this clinically resembles mitral stenosis. Tricuspid Insufficiency Tricuspid insufficiency is a harsh, holosystolic murmur heard best at the left lower sternal border. This murmur can radiate to the axilla in severe pulmonary hypertension. Maneuvers that change the quality of the murmur include an increase in intensity with inspiration (Carvallo sign), an increase in intensity with increased venous return, and an increase in intensity with pushing on the liver (Vitmus sign). Primary causes of tricuspid insufficiency include endocarditis or rheumatic disease. A secondary cause is right ventricular dilation."

"text": "Bicuspid Aortic Disease Share Email Print Bicuspid aortic disease occurs when a defect is present in the valve that opens and shuts to allow blood flow from the heart through the aorta. While the defective valve may be easy to see, the defect also causes changes in the tissues of the aorta and the heart. Between one and two percent of all people have this defect, and it affects more men than women. A normal aortic valve (see below) has three leaflets (also known as flaps or cusps). These open and close to control the flow of blood into the aorta from the left ventricle of the heart as it beats. When the flaps come together as the valve closes, the shape is like a circle divided into thirds. In contrast, a bicuspid aortic valve has only two leaflets. ( Refer to the left figure in the diagram.) It is sometimes described as looking like the mouth of a fish as it opens and closes. Bicuspid aortic disease refers to any combination of the following: An aortic valve that has only two, instead of the normal three, flaps to open and shut the valve An aortic dilation, aneurysm or dissection (a tear in the wall of the aorta)Deterioration of the valve or the aorta Rapid changes in blood pressure with activity or stress (labile hypertension)Bicuspid aortic valve stenosis Symptoms While doctors and researchers know much about the aortic valve itself, how it affects the overall health of the aorta and the heart is still being studied."

"text": "\"doctorslounge.com / cardiology / diseases / aortic_stenosis.htm Back to Cardiovascular Diseases Aortic valve stenosis Introduction The aortic valve is a flap-like opening located between the left side of the heart and the aorta. The aorta is the main artery carrying blood from the heart. Blood is pumped by the left ventricle across the aortic valve into the aorta and the arteries of the body. Aortic stenosis causes restricted systolic opening of the valve leaflets, with a mean transvalvular pressure gradient of at least 5-10 mm Hg. When the degree of narrowing becomes significant enough to impede the flow of blood from the left ventricle to the arteries, heart problems develop. In the Euro Heart Survey on Valvular Heart Disease, aortic valve stenosis was the most common valve abnormality. Aortic valve sclerosis is commonly defined as a focal or diffuse thickening of the aortic cusps with calcific nodules generally at the base of leaflets and transvalvular velocity at Doppler still in the normal range (Vmax <2 m/s). Epidemiology Prevalence Rheumatic valve disease has declined dramatically in the United States during the past 50 years, and isolated rheumatic aortic valve is unusual in any event. With our aging population, calcific aortic stenosis accounts for the vast majority of aortic valve disease. In the elderly, mild thickening and/or calcification of a trileaflet aortic valve without restricted leaflet motion (ie, aortic sclerosis) affects about 25% of the population > 65 years of age."

During each heartbeat both of the atria squeeze (contract) first to pump blood into the ventricles. Then both ventricles contract to pump blood out of the heart into the arteries. There are one-way valves between the atria and ventricles and also between the ventricles and the large arteries that take blood from the heart. These are: The mitral valve - between the left atrium and the left ventricle. The tricuspid valve - between the right atrium and the right ventricle.

"text": "Overview Aortic valve stenosis — or aortic stenosis — occurs when the heart's aortic valve narrows. This narrowing prevents the valve from opening fully, which reduces or blocks blood flow from your heart into the main artery to your body (aorta) and onward to the rest of your body. When the blood flow through the aortic valve is reduced or blocked, your heart needs to work harder to pump blood to your body. Eventually, this extra work limits the amount of blood it can pump, and this can cause symptoms as well as possibly weaken your heart muscle. Your treatment depends on the severity of your condition. You may need surgery to repair or replace the valve. Left untreated, aortic valve stenosis can lead to serious heart problems.

"text": "\"Auscultation Introduction Auscultation is the term for listening to the internal sounds of the body, usually using a stethoscope. Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory system and respiratory system (heart sounds and breath sounds), as well as the gastrointestinal system (bowel sounds). It is an integral part of physical examination of a patient and is routinely used to provide strong evidence in including or excluding different pathological conditions that are manifested clinically in the patient. The stethoscope comprises a bell and a diaphragm. The bell is most effective at transmitting lower frequency sounds, while the diaphragm is most effective at transmitting higher frequency sounds [1]. In other words, the bell is designed to hear low pitched sounds and the diaphragm is designed to hear high pitched sounds. They are connected via rubber tubing to the ear pieces. These should be worn facing forward as the ear canals run anteriorly. Techniques To optimise the effectiveness of auscultation the surroundings should be: [2]Quiet - the ambient noise might interfere the heart and lung sounds. Warm -so that the patient feels comfortable while;the upper part of the body is being exposed. Also, it is to avoid shivering that may add the noise."

When the heart squeezes, the left ventricle (the lower left chamber) contracts, pushing blood out into the aorta, the main artery that takes blood to the body. The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta and prevents blood from leaking back in between beats. Aortic regurgitation or insufficiency occurs when the aortic valve doesn't completely close and allows some blood to leak back into the heart. Aortic regurgitation can be trivial, mild, moderate or severe. Signs and symptoms for aortic regurgitation Aortic regurgitation often doesn't cause symptoms in infants or children. As the child gets older, abnormal signs and symptoms may appear, including fatigue, a heart murmur (an extra heart sound when a doctor listens with a stethoscope), or, rarely, chest pain, fainting or arrhythmias. Testing and diagnosis At CHOP's Cardiac Center, we usually diagnose aortic regurgitation after a primary care doctor detects a heart murmur and refers a child to us. Diagnosis may require some or all of these tests: Pulse oximetry: a painless way to monitor the oxygen content of the blood Chest X-ray Echocardiogram (also called \"\"echo\"\" or cardiac ultrasound): ultrasound waves create an image of the heart and can show the size, shape and movement of the heart's valves and chambers as well as the flow of blood through the heart Electrocardiogram (ECG): a record of the electrical activity of the heart Exercise stress test Cardiac MRI: a three-dimensional image shows the heart's abnormalities Cardiac catheterization: a thin tube is inserted into the heart through a vein and/or artery in either the leg or through the umbilicus (\"\"belly button\"\")Treatments for aortic regurgitation If the regurgitation is trivial or mild, treatment isn't usually necessary. Doctors will monitor the patient with regular checkups, and might even prescribe some medications if the regurgitation is moderate or severe."

"text": "It is important to diagnose and treat diseases of the aortic valve. Untreated aortic valve disease can eventually result in heart failure, severe infection, and even sudden death. Some patients present with severe symptoms, whereas others have few, if any symptoms. The diagnosis may be made on a routine physical examination. Regular medical follow-up, treatment to prevent infection of the valve (infective endocarditis), and optimal timing of surgery are necessary to avoid the severe consequences of improper function of the aortic valve. Structure and Function of the Aortic Valve Cardiac valves are structures that are designed to work like one-way doors ( Figures 1 and 2 ⇓ ). They let blood flow in from one chamber or vessel to another, and then close to prevent the blood from regurgitating backward. The aortic valve consists of 3 half-moon-shaped pocket-like flaps of delicate tissue, referred to as cusps. When the aortic valve is closed, the cusps are perfectly aligned and separate the large pumping chamber of the heart (the left ventricle) from the large artery (aorta) that supplies blood to the body. During the period when the left ventricle contracts and pumps the blood (systole), the aortic valve opens widely and blood flows freely from the left ventricle to the aorta."

"text": "Mitral Valve Murmurs By Adam Pick - Patient, Author & Heart Valve Surgery.com Founder The mitral valve is located in the heart between the left ventricle and the left atrium, two of the heart's four chambers. When blood, returning from the lungs where it has been oxygenated, fills the left atrium, the mitral valve opens to allow the blood to flow into the left ventricle. The valve functions as a type of door to regulate the rate and quantity of blood that passes, closing when the left ventricle fills. What Is A Mitral Valve Murmur? If the mitral valve is not opening widely enough or does not seal properly when it is supposed to be closed, a physician may detect an unusual sound through a stethoscope. This is because the abnormal blood flow can produce a turbulence as it moves in an non-syncopated manner. The physician may refer to this as a mitral valve murmur or heart murmur. The heart goes through two phases as it beats. In the first phase, the atrium fills with blood, then a contraction forces blood into the ventricle. This is known as systole."

Grade The grade of a murmur is a basic measure of the loudness (see Table 2 ). Pitch A low-pressure gradient, a large opening, or both cause low-pitched murmurs. A high-pressure gradient, a small opening, or both cause high-pitched murmurs. Timing Systolic murmurs. Almost all systolic murmurs begin in early systole. If the murmur lasts throughout systole (holosystolic), think of mitral insufficiency or tricuspid insufficiency. Diastolic murmurs. Almost all diastolic murmurs begin in early diastole. Consider aortic insufficiency and pulmonic insufficiency if the murmur ends before mid-diastole."

"text": "Aortic calcification, which is also called sclerosis, is a buildup of calcium deposits in the aortic valve in the heart. The aortic valve allows blood to flow through the heart, and the calcium buildup that accumulates there can impede the flow of blood as the heart pumps. This narrowing of the aortic valve is called aortic valve stenosis. Calcium is a mineral naturally found in the blood, and as blood flows through the heart, it can leave behind tiny amounts of calcium. Typically, calcium that builds up naturally does not cause any problems, but in some people, it can cause stiffening of the aortic valve, resulting in aortic calcification. This stiffening can narrow the heart valve, impeding the flow of blood through the heart. This condition is rare in people who are less than 65 years old, but conditions such as a heart defect that is present from birth or kidney failure can increase a young person's risk. When aortic valve stenosis starts to block the aortic valve, the left ventricle of the heart has to work harder to compensate. At first, the left ventricle will pump blood with more force, but over time, it will become weaker because of the extra strain. This can weaken the heart and make heart problems more likely."

"text": "What is Valium used for? Addiction Blog Published: November 6, 2010Share What is Valium? Valium is the brand name for a drug called diazepam. Valium is a type of medicine called a benzodiazepine, which enhances the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. The more GABA in the synopses of nerve cells, the less active the brain, which is why Valium is mainly used as a sedative or tranquilizer. Valium (diazepam) is also considered a hypnotic, anti-epileptic, and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) drug which affects the central nervous system as a general depressant. Typically, doctors administer Valium in a tablet form in doses of 2-10 mg per dose taken 2 to 4 times per day. Under the Federal Controlled Substance’s Act, Valium is classified as a Class IV substance by the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency), meaning that it has a current medical use but a low potential for abuse. Valium is also classified as a Schedule IV drug due to its relatively limited physical and psychological dependence when compared to the drugs or other substances in Schedule III. Get Help Today!"

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

The bacteria infect a hair follicle resulting in the formation of a small swelling that goes on to form an abscess. The abscess usually drains out resulting in resolution of the furuncle. In some cases, however, the infection can spread through the skin and even to other parts of the body. Though boils can affect anybody, it occurs more often in people with reduced immunity like diabetes patients or patients on corticosteroid. Treatment A warm compress applied to the boil may help it heal. Some furuncles may require surgical draining. Drugs Local antibiotics: Local antibiotics like fusidic acid and retapamulin can be used to treat furunculosis. These are usually not associated with any major side effects."

Cysts may occur as a result of a developmental error in the embryo during pregnancy or they may be caused by infections. However, sometimes they arise spontaneously with no apparent cause. Cysts are often dangerous as they may have negative effects (for instance, compression) on the nearby tissue. They may contain air, fluids, or semi-solid material. A collection of pus is called an abscess, not a cyst. A cyst may also be a sack that encloses an organism during a dormant period, such as in the case of certain parasites."

It is used to treat infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive bacteria. Unlike other penicillins, flucloxacillin has activity against beta-lactamase -producing organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus [1] as it is beta-lactamase stable. However, it is ineffective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). [ 2] It is very similar to dicloxacillin; they are considered interchangeable. While no longer used in the United States, Flucloxacillin is supplied under a variety of trade names in other countries, including Floxapen ( Beecham, now GSK ), Flopen ( CSL ), Staphylex ( Alphapharm ), Softapen (Rephco Pharmaceuticals Limited), Flubex (Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Bangladesh), and Flupen (for state use only in South Africa).

Atropine belongs to a class of drugs known as anticholinergics, which help to dry up body fluids and also slow gut movement. This medication is used to treat sudden diarrhea (including traveler's diarrhea). It works by slowing down the movement of the gut.

I have a prescription for Librax and Bentyl. Can this help and can theses meds be taken with Dexilant? Posted Tue, 27 May 2014 in Digestion and Bowels Answered by Dr. Ratnakar Kini 6 hours later Brief Answer: Answer given below Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Dr. R. K and I am pleased to assist you. Librax and bentyl are not medications to treat gastritis. Dexilant is the one to treat gastritis. So you can take dexilant for gastritis. If the other two have been prescribed for some other condition, you can take them with dexilant and it is safe."

It is commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger (because of its striped lower back) or the Tasmanian wolf. [ 14] Native to continental Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea, it is believed to have become extinct in the 20th century. It was the last extant member of its family, Thylacinidae; specimens of other members of the family have been found in the fossil record dating back to the late Oligocene. Surviving evidence suggests that it was a relatively shy, nocturnal creature with the general appearance of a medium-to-large-size dog, except for its stiff tail and abdominal pouch (reminiscent of a kangaroo) and dark transverse stripes that radiated from the top of its back, similar to those of a tiger. The thylacine was an apex predator, like the tigers and wolves of the Northern Hemisphere from which it obtained two of its common names. As a marsupial, it was not closely related to these placental mammals, but because of convergent evolution it displayed the same general form and adaptations. Its closest living relative is thought to be either the Tasmanian devil or the numbat."

Current molecular studies show the whole vagina epithelium is derived from the paramesonephric (Müllerian) duct with bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4) reshaping the intermediate mesoderm-derived Müllerian duct into the vaginal primordium. [ 1] Transgenic studies in mice also identified the developmental origin of vaginal epithelium derived solely from Müllerian duct epithelium. [ 2] Vaginal development is also under negative control of androgens. Paramesonephric duct = Müllerian duct and Mesonephric duct = Wolffian duct. See also for external genitalia Integumentary System Development . History Acién's hypothesis, related to abnormalities and the embryology of the human vagina as deriving from the Wolffian ducts and the Müllerian tubercle. Koff (1933) [3] coined the terms \"\"sinovaginal bulb\"\" and \"\"vaginal plate\"\" and proposed that the upper 80% of the vagina is derived from Müllerian epithelium and the lower 20% derived from urogenital sinus epithelium,Bulmer (1957) [4] proposed that vaginal epithelium derives solely from urogenital sinus epithelium.

Duszynski Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-802709-7.00002-3 Get rights and content Abstract This chapter introduces marsupials and distinguishes them from placental mammals by pointing out some of their unique anatomical and physiological characters of reproduction (marsupium, bifid reproductive tracts, etc.). It also points out that we have not yet identified all marsupials, as their numbers of species continue to increase the more we study them. Recent discoveries in molecular studies, especially the discovery of repetitive fragments of DNA called retroposons, have given molecular systematists virtually an ambiguity-free tool to approximate evolutionary history. Additionally, two recently sequenced marsupial genomes, a South American opossum and an Australian wallaby, along with the use of retroposed elements, allow systematists the unique opportunity to help resolve marsupial and eutherian mammal relationships. Finally, Australian marsupials have been isolated geographically from their American counterparts for millennia. However, human fascination with zoos and the pet trade allows the movement of marsupials and many other animals across oceans and continents, creating an interface where humans, domesticated animals, marsupials, and all of their parasites can come in contact, creating new zoonoses. Keywords American marsupials; Ameridelphia; Australian marsupials; Australidelphia; Comparative genomics; Evolution; Metatheria; Retroposons; Unique reproductive characters;Zoonoses What Are Marsupials? Ever since the first Europeans reached Australia, people—especially biologists—became fascinated by the curious animals they found there called marsupials. Immediately intriguing to many was the question of the evolutionary relationships between the living Australian and South American marsupials. Before I discuss the apicomplexan parasites of marsupials, I think it is useful to have a basic sense of what marsupials are and of how they fit into the web of living things, particularly other mammals."

"text": "\"Mammals of Alabama Theodore G. Manno, Auburn University Evi Paemelaere, Auburn University Alabama is home to 62 native mammal species, of which more than half are either rodents or bats. The diversity of Alabama spans common mammals, such as opossums and hispid cotton rats, and some of the rarest species in North America, such as the Perdido Key Beach Mouse. Six species are exotics that have been introduced to the state, and four mammal species are now no longer found in the state. Mammals are defined by three major characteristics. First, they have skin that is covered at least partially with hair; second, they nourish their young with milk manufactured by the mother; and third, they maintain a consistent and regulated body temperature, regardless of the environmental temperature. Rodents (Order Rodentia)Alabama Beach Mouse Rodents are the most well-represented order of mammals in Alabama, owing to their varied diet and efficient body structure. Specifically, they have two continuously growing incisors that the rodent wears down through gnawing. Most rodents also reproduce fairly quickly, having several litters per year that yield between two and 12 young. With the exception of squirrels and chipmunks, most rodents in Alabama are nocturnal. Rodents are also successful because they are able to exploit a variety of different habitats, including urban areas."

Their fur is typically grayish, but it may range from a reddish, brownish or even blackish hue. Within their fur, this species has long white tipped guard hairs. Their coloration may vary based on the range of the population; for instance, northern populations tend to have lighter guard hairs, thicker under fur and a more grizzled appearance, whereas southern populations generally appear darker and have thinner under fur. Albinism has been reported in this species. The fur of their face tends to be lighter than the rest of their body; typically it is pale grayish-white. They have large delicate ears, which are mostly furless, making frost bite to that region extremely common. Likewise, their long tails are also common victims of frost bite. Although there is fur at the base of their tail, it is largely hairless throughout."

Uterus didelphys Synonyms Bicervical bicornuate uterus Ultrasound showing didelphys Specialty Medical genetics Uterus didelphys (sometimes also uterus didelphis) represents a uterine malformation where the uterus is present as a paired organ when the embryogenetic fusion of the Müllerian ducts fails to occur. As a result, there is a double uterus with two separate cervices, and rarely a double vagina as well. Each uterus has a single horn linked to the ipsilateral fallopian tube that faces its ovary. In non human species ( e.g. nematodes ), a didelphic genital tract may be normal rather than a malformation. Such species are described as didelphic, as opposed to monodelphic, with a single tract.

Echogenicity is the ability to create an echo, i.e. return a signal in ultrasound examinations. Increased echogenicity of the liver usually means that there is fatty infiltration in parts of the liver. In certain causes a focal area of increased echogenicity would indicate a discrete mass. However, in your case, a diffuse increase would mean a fatty liver. best wishes press the green accept button if this was helpful Dr. Cameron, Doctor Category: Medical Satisfied Customers: 12,910Experience: American Board Certified in Emergency Medicine and Ivy League trained.

In Part II the imaging features of the most common hepatic tumors are presented. Hemangioma Hemangioma is the most common benign liver tumor. It is composed of multiple vascular channels lined by endothelial cells. In 60% of cases more than one hemangioma is present. The size varies from a few millimeters to more than 10 cm (giant hemangiomas). Calcification is rare and seen in less than 10%, usually in the central scar of giant hemangioma."

The objective of our study was to review and illustrate the various clinical entities that may cause diffuse thickening of the gallbladder wall on diagnostic imaging studies. CONCLUSION. Diffuse gallbladder wall thickening may be caused by a wide range of gallbladder diseases and extracholecystic pathologic conditions. In most cases its cause can be determined by correlation of the clinical presentation and associated imaging findings. Keywords: abdominal imaging, acute abdomen, adenomyomatosis, cholecystitis, CT, gallbladder carcinoma, gallbladder disease, gallbladder thickening, sonography Introduction T hickening of the gallbladder wall is a relatively frequent finding on diagnostic imaging studies. Historically, a thick-walled gallbladder has been regarded as proof of primary gallbladder disease, and it is a well-known hallmark feature of acute cholecystitis. The finding itself, however, is nonspecific and can also be found in a variety of conditions unrelated to intrinsic gallbladder disease."

An abnormally thick, irregular, or indistinct endometrium is often seen at pelvic US. The differential diagnosis is broad and includes diffuse processes (eg, endometrial hyperplasia, the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle) and focal diseases (eg, endometrial polyps, carcinoma). These entities are often indistinguishable from each other. Subendometrial pathologic conditions such as submucosal leiomyomas (fibroids) and adenomyosis may also manifest as apparent endometrial thickening. In addition, an atrophic endometrium is occasionally ill defined at initial US. Studies have shown that atrophy is the most common cause of postmenopausal bleeding (60% of cases) and is therefore an important diagnosis to establish ( 5 ). Other studies have shown a high percentage of false-negative results at blind biopsy for focal pathologic conditions ( 5, 6 ). With instillation of fluid into the endometrial canal, sonohysterography allows differentiation between focal and diffuse endometrial or subendometrial pathologic conditions, which often leads to a specific diagnosis. This differentiation helps the referring physician plan appropriate case management."

"text": "Ultrasound is safer than many other forms of medical imaging. X- rays, for example, use very high- frequency and high- energy light waves to produce a visual image. X- rays can damage cells. They can cause cancer. X- rays are emitted by radioactive substances and the health hazards from exposure to radioactivity are the same as those from exposure to X- rays generated medically. High- frequency sound waves do not present the same hazards. The downside of ultrasound, though, is that sound is not reflected from substances in the same patterns as light. This means that the patterns formed by echogenicity aren't exactly the same as those formed by reflected light, so that it can sometimes be more difficult to interpret an ultrasound image than an X- ray . Nevertheless, many medical problems can be diagnosed using an ultrasound procedure. That's true of a number of liver conditions, making ultrasound an important diagnostic tool for hepatic illness."

Histopathologic lacteal dilation was present in 96% of dogs with mucosal striations. Sonographic findings associated with mucosal striations included: mild jejunal wall thickening (96%), mild duodenal wall thickening (78%), mucosal speckles (70%), and abdominal effusion (87%). The mucosal striations were diffuse (70%) or multifocal (30%) and did not cause loss of wall layering, except in one dog with a severe mural lipogranuloma.

Dr. Chan is a Consultant Radiologist, London Independent Hospital, London UK. This material in this article was presented in educational exhibit form at the Radiological Society of North America Meeting, December 2004. Cystic liver lesions in adults can have a number of etiologies, including congenital, neoplastic, and infectious conditions, as well as trauma and miscellaneous entities. While most such cystic lesions are benign and are frequently clinically irrelevant, the radiologist must be able to recognize key imaging features to enable the diagnosis of the more clinically important lesions. Features to assess include lesion size, the presence and thickness of a wall or any internal septations or mural nodules, the presence of either internal or mural calcification, and the pattern of enhancement following intravenous contrast. The importance of the clinical history in these patients cannot be overstated. Ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can act in a complementary fashion to optimize lesion characterization. Ultrasound can reveal internal septations, mural nodules, and debris in a lesion. CT can show wall or septal calcification, while the signal characteristics of the cyst content on MRI may define its contents, for example, if it is hemorrhagic."

Cells then take up these nutrient molecules and use them to build new molecules and provide for their cellular energy needs. Cells can also store the molecules for later use. Respiratory Function Your respiratory system takes in oxygen from the atmosphere and moves that oxygen into the bloodstream by allowing it to move across the membranes of the lungs into the blood vessels. The circulatory system then carries oxygen to all the cells in the body and picks up carbon dioxide waste, which it returns to the lungs."

The organisms which derive their food from others are known as heterotrophic organisms. They depend for their food on other organisms, hence they are called consumers. All animals, human beings and non-green plans like fungi come under this category. They consume complex organic food prepared by autotrophs or producers and break it into simple from to derive nourishment. Thus the difference between heterotrophy and autotrophs is basically in the mode of production of food. Due to lack of chlorophyll, heterotrophs cannot synthesize their food while autotrophs can perform photosynthesis. Heterotrophs may be parasitic, saprophytic and holozoic. 1.

But this definition hides what is really going on with organisms. Organisms can be considered open systems but which we mean that an organism has to take in both matter and energy and use that matter and energy to do work. As an example, when you eat a meal, the large molecules in your food must be broken down into simpler molecules by digestion. Then these simpler molecules recombined in different ways by the cells in your body to make the large molecules you need or be broken down further in cellular respiration to provide energy for the organism. So we see that that there are two types of chemical reactions. Organisms can take complex molecules and break them down into smaller molecules-usually that is done adding water to break covalent bonds- hydrolysis. Organisms can also take simpler molecules and combine them to make bigger molecules-usually that sort of synthesis involves removing water from the simpler molecules-dehydration reaction also called dehydration synthesis. In addition as part of metabolism the organism is doing all sorts of different type of energy transformations. For example the energy stored in the chemical bonds of food molecules can be harvested as a flow of electrons."

To give more evolutionary background to Mike Keesey 's answer: There are a number of theories regarding the beginnings of life--from the question of \"\"first life,\"\" what it looked like, and how it arose, to the first protocell, to the division of eubacteria (what mitochondria seem to be), archaea, and eukarya (cells which contain organelles). A current prevailing theory is as follows:an anaerobic archaeon ate an aerobic bacterium but did not fully digest it. This aerobic bacterium then flourished inside the archaeon, eating up a lot of partially processed food molecules floating around in the cytoplasm using oxygen (hence, the \"\"aerobic\"\" descriptor). The bacterium produced so much energy that there was excess ATP (\"\"energy currency\"\" for cells) released for the archaeon as well, creating an endosymbiotic relationship... and thus, the first eukaryote arose. Eventually, the bacterium lost many of its other functions, becoming more like the mitochondria we know today. ( Chloroplasts probably have a similar origin story. ) This theory is supported by several observations, including: Eukarya genes resemble archaea more than eubacteria, especially in regards to the genes dedicated towards nuclear maintenance and transcription/translation (i.e., the most important ones for maintaining a cell!). There does not seem to be a eukaryote which evolved without mitochondria*, suggesting that the energy boost from having mitochondria was essential in developing other organelles (i.e., you didn't have eukaryotes with nuclei/other organelles before trying to gain mitochondria). * There are eukaryotes which lack a mitochondria, but the presence of mitochondria-derived proteins suggests that they evolved with mitochondria and then lost them afterwards, not that they always lacked one.4.3k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private."

Proteins, carbohydrates and fats -- the three main sources of dietary energy -- are attacked within your gastrointestinal tract by digestive enzymes that reduce them to absorbable fragments. According to Dr. Elson Haas, author of “Staying Healthy With Nutrition,” lipases, proteases, amylases, invertases, pepsin, trypsin, lactase, sucrase and maltase are a few of the digestive enzymes involved in preparing macronutrients for absorption. Transport Once digested nutrients are absorbed in your intestine, they are ultimately carried to every cell in your body. However, some nutrients must undergo initial processing -- mostly in your liver -- before your cells can use them. For example, fats are not water soluble and must first be “packaged” in your liver so they can be safely transported through your bloodstream. Some sugars, such as fructose and galactose, are converted to glucose, which is readily carried through your circulatory system."

These molecule types each have at least two major functions and all interact in complex ways, sometimes producing combined molecules as well. DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS IS HOW BIG MOLECULES ARE BUILT FROM BASIC COMPONENTSA stable molecule, big or small, will have electrons in all appropriate places (all of the orbitals will be occupied by electrons, native or borrowed), and not spontaneously link with other molecules. When the bigger organic molecules are being made from small pieces, bonds in the original component molecules must be broken and parts taken off to provide places for new bonds to form. This is how large molecules are built from smaller components. Such construction of molecules, a process called synthesis, is done almost universally with a process called dehydration synthesis, with the removal of a hydrogen from one component and a hydroxyl from the other (H + OH combine to form H 2 O, so the components lose water or dehydrate). When large molecules are broken down, the process happens in reverse - the bond between parts is broken, with a hydrogen placed on one and hydroxide on the other. Since water is \"\"split\"\" to do this, the process is called hydrolysis (\"\"water breaking\"\") and occurs in such processes as digestion, and when molecules are not useful and get broken down in cells for use as energy or component sources.

But what about the physiological causes? They relate to changes in automatic breathing that most people may not even notice. The digestive system is a sophisticated conveyor more complicated than any modern chemical factory. It has its own brain (the enteric nervous system), various organs, special chemical messengers for communication, and hundreds of digestive enzymes. When we are hungry, the system is ready to accept and process food. Eating without real hunger results in biochemical stress for some organs and the whole system in general. ( According to a recent survey \"\"Americans and Overeating\"\", over 60% of American women eat or have a snack when they feel stressed. ) What are the effects on breathing? Stress for the GI system, requirements in digestive enzymes and the need to store new chemical substances from the food in body cells, all these factors lead to hyperventilation causing shortness of breath after eating."

What many people don’t realize is that getting a massage can provide several benefits for the body’s organs by improving digestion, blood circulation, and other bodily functions. That’s in addition to the benefits that relaxation and wellbeing have on the body. How does massage therapy affect the body’s organ systems? The human body contains 11 major organ systems; massage can manipulate these systems in differing ways, based on the momentary needs of the individual. Massage therapy uses the power of human touch for therapeutic purposes, as well as pampering and rejuvenation. Therapeutic benefits for individuals with Cerebral Palsy are wide ranging and include controlling stress levels, reducing pain, releasing muscular tension, improving digestion, stimulating sensory receptors, stimulating circulation, providing flexibility, and enhancing range of motion. Before the massage session begins, it is important that a massage therapist understand the client’s medical health and what the client would like accomplished during the massage. It is also recommended that primary care physicians are aware of the client’s intent to pursue massage therapy so they can discuss any concerns they may have that can affect ongoing treatment or health conditions. For instance, under certain circumstances, such as specific stages of pregnancy, massage should be avoided for important medical reasons."

Now see this reaction in action: During this reaction, energy is released and two new chemicals are formed: Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate (P). There is a limited quantity of ATP in the muscle cells. For muscle contraction to continue ATP has to be re-built from ADP and P. ADP + P = ATPThis re-building of ATP is known as Muscle Respiration. There are two pathways by which ATP can be reformed: The Anaerobic Pathway The Aerobic Pathway Anaerobic respiration Anaerobic is without oxygen.

It is the body's breathing equipment. The respiratory system consists of the nose, lungs, diaphragm and the air passages, such as the trachea, which connect them. Similar to the digestive system, it takes substances from outside the body (gases, particularly oxygen), circulates them through the body to cells and tissues, then dumps (excretes) the excess and waste. Oxygen is the respiratory system's 'food' and carbon dioxide is its 'waste'.

In architecture, this means that buildings should be constructed to support the activities that will be carried out inside them. For example, a skyscraper should be built with several elevator banks; a hospital should be built so that its emergency room is easily accessible. Our natural world also utilizes the principle of form following function, especially in cell biology, and this will become clear as we explore eukaryotic cells ( [link] ). Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have: 1) a membrane-bound nucleus; 2) numerous membrane-bound organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and others; and 3) several, rod-shaped chromosomes. Because a eukaryotic cell’s nucleus is surrounded by a membrane, it is often said to have a “true nucleus.” The word “organelle” means “little organ,” and, as already mentioned, organelles have specialized cellular functions, just as the organs of your body have specialized functions. At this point, it should be clear to you that eukaryotic cells have a more complex structure than prokaryotic cells. Organelles allow different functions to be compartmentalized in different areas of the cell."

Dig your own grave: doing something that will cause you to have problems in the future. Notes: A grave is a place where a dead body is buried (usually in a hole in the ground). The man in the picture above is using a shovel to dig a hole in the ground for his grave. If you're digging you're own grave, you're creating the place to bury your own dead body. The idiom doesn't go as far as saying that you're killing yourself, but it's used to highlight something that is going to cause you a big or significant problem (not a tiny mistake). Examples: I hope you know you're digging you own grave by continuing to smoke a pack of cigarettes every day. My son dug his own grave by cheating on his exams.

Meanings & explanations for Dead Aunt dictionary!Dead Aunt dream interpretations Speaking to the Dead Dream Explanation — If a person sees himself as asking a dead person about anything regarding the dead persons or anothers condition then the answer of the dead person will be true to its word- whether good or bad- for the dead person dwells in the world of truthfulness (ie. Akhirah) as opposed to the world of falsehood (ie dunya). Thus, he does not speak a lie in whatever report he gives. Carrying the Dead Dream Explanation — if a person sees himself carrying a dead person in any manner other than the normal manner of carrying a bier or corpse it means he will carry a burden of haraam wealth. Some interpreters say that the same dream could mean that he is spending his wealth on some pervert. If a person sees himself as carrying a dead person in a normal way it means he will either obey and follow the ruler of the time or he will take upon himself some of his responsibilities. Rising of the dead Dream Explanation — (Resurrection) Seeing the rising of all the dead on the Day of Judgment in a dream represents people attending to their daily business and seeking profits where some will win while others will lose. ( Also see Resurrection)Washing the dead Dream Explanation — (Undertaker) If one sees a deceased person washing himself before burial in a dream, it means relief for one's dependents and increase of their wealth after him. Washing a deceased person in a dream means that someone will repent at the hand of the undertaker."

"text": "\"Why is the resurrection of Jesus Christ important? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"Why is the resurrection of Jesus Christ important?\"\" Answer: The resurrection of Jesus is important for several reasons. First, the resurrection witnesses to the immense power of God Himself. To believe in the resurrection is to believe in God. If God exists, and if He created the universe and has power over it, then He has power to raise the dead. If He does not have such power, He is not worthy of our faith and worship. Only He who created life can resurrect it after death, only He can reverse the hideousness that is death itself, and only He can remove the sting and gain the victory over the grave ( 1 Corinthians 15:54–55 ). In resurrecting Jesus from the grave, God reminds us of His absolute sovereignty over life and death. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is also important because it validates who Jesus claimed to be, namely, the Son of God and Messiah."

"text": "\"Pets Horses Euthanasia of a horse how much does it cost? Update: This is just a question, I do not own and horse and would have a vet do it if I did. Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In my area (upper midwest) the cost for euthanization and removal is right at that $400.00 mark. Sadly, I know the answer to this question first hand: (hhqh01 · 1 decade ago3 1 Comment We recently oversaw the euthanasia of 3 horses on our farm, and the total cost my sister's friend paid was $750 for all of them, including disposal by a rendering service for the carcasses afterwards. Euthanasia can run up to $500 to $1,500 per horse, depending on where you live and what means is used to dispose of the animal afterwards. Virtually NO vet I have ever met or seen ( and I have been in the business for 20 years) EVER puts a horse down for free- it costs a lot to buy the euthanasia solution, and every vet charges at least something for the farm or ranch call. Rendering services also vary tremendously in cost, depending on location and the number of animals one is disposing of. For some people, home burial of the carcass is an option, assuming that they own or can borrow or rent a backhoe to dig the hole for the grave. This is a common event on the big horse farms in places like Kentucky and Maryland- indeed, many of those farms have actual cemetaries for horses which have died, complete with markers, headstones, and fences around them. Some of the more ornate ones have things like benches and seating areas."

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

Yet, it is a major life event, and it does need our attention and planning. Maybe now more than ever!Invoice Example Death is a $12 to $15-billion industry in the United States. As we continue to die, rates continue to climb. Expenses for a funeral service can vary dramatically, depending on what type of funeral you decide on and where you are located. According to the 2010 Funeral Price Survey by the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) http://www.nfda.org/, Americans spent, on average, $7,775.00 for an adult funeral in 2009, based on the elements of a regular, traditional funeral. Grave monument Opening a Grave This does notinclude the cemetery costs which include the gravesite, vault, opening and closing of the grave, or the grave marker. These charges can run another $2,000 to $3,000 for interment in ‘regular’ cemeteries. ( Remember, the larger, more popular or exclusive a cemetery is, the higher the cost to get admitted.) And the price of a grave marker or monument depends on what you choose."

"text": "THE SUNPLACE SPECIAL QUILT GARDENPosted on May 31, 2012 | Leave a comment The idea for a quilt garden bed was conceived when four Master Gardener Volunteers (MGVs) went on a road trip to see Elkhart, Indiana’s Quilt Gardens. Charmed and intrigued by their quilt gardens we decided a quilt garden would be a great feature for a children’s garden. While Elkhart’s quilt gardens only include quilts planted with flowers, as the idea grew a floral quilt with a real bed frame seemed a unique idea. The Sunplace Special’s Quilt Garden hopes to attract kids and spark their imagination and interest in gardening through the familiar idea of their own beds and quilts except shown through flowers. One MGV initiated the project by contacting people and seeking approval from the Master Gardener Coordinator and the finance committee. The next step was to select a design that could be rendered easily in the confined area of the bed frame depicted through annual flowers. One of our MGVs (an avid quilter) helped incorporate the design into a quilt template. Another donated and installed the headboard and frame. She also contributed ideas about the finished product. The design is based on the children’s garden name Sunplace Special."

"text": "How Much Does a Funeral Cost?“How much does a funeral cost” is a common question that usually triggers a final expense or burial insurance conversation. Inevitably, the next question is how are we going to pay for the funeral? Unfortunately, funerals, memorials, cremations and burials cost significantly more than most people think. Consequently, that means most families are not prepared to deal with burial expenses or costs associated with a loved one's death. When these expenses aren’t planned for in advance they can quite often cause a hardship for a family. There are several different services, and consequently expenses, to pay for all within a few days of a person’s death. Depending upon the choice of service, a typical burial or cremation can range from anywhere from a few thousand dollars to over twenty thousand dollars. In fact, in 2010 a survey of the National Funeral Directors Association looked at the costs of funerals as of December 31, 2009. Compared with funerals in 2000, the costs had risen an incredible 25% in just 9 years. There are many options which affect the price of a funeral."

"text": "\"Forensic Archaeology Forensic archaeology is the application of archaeology (the study of past cultures and activities) to legal investigations. The skills and methods used by archaeologists to find and interpret buried or hidden sites of past activity have direct application to modern forensic investigations. In North America, forensic archaeology is often considered to be a specialization of forensic anthropology. In the 1970s and 1980s, criminal investigators began to call upon archaeologists to help locate, excavate and document certain types of crime-scene evidence - usually clandestine burials of murder victims. Over the next couple of decades, archaeologists became more actively involved in different types of investigations including the excavation of mass burials of victims of modern wars and the recording and recovery of mass fatality events. The main tasks that a forensic archaeologist assists with are: Evidence searches, evidence recovery, evidence recording and scene interpretation. Evidence search The search for evidence begins when an object or information leads investigators to believe that a crime or suspicious death has occurred. A forensic archaeologist is typically called when human remains are found scattered on the ground surface and/or remains are suspected to be buried. The first task of a search is to define the area of investigation. This task is usually performed by the archaeologist working alongside the authorities such as the Coroner and Police."

"text": "9 0 Rate This For most people, the first things that comes to mind when they think of the Caribbean are the beaches. I’m sure that some people (mostly the ones who haven’t ever actually been to the Caribbean) seem to have the misguided impression that entire islands are surrounded completely by pristine white sand beaches. While it is true that there are some very nice beaches to be found on many Caribbean islands, the reality is that these beaches make up only a relatively small portion of the shorelines of many Caribbean islands. Granted, most people traveling in this part of the world aren’t going to have any trouble finding the nice beaches on the various islands, but many of the cruise lines that operate in the Caribbean have their own private beaches (or, if you believe what’s in the brochures, private islands) that they include in their itineraries. For Princess ships (as well as P&O ships, and even an occasional Cunard or Costa ship when they’re in the area) this beach stop is Princess Cays, a beach near the southern tip of the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Geographically, Eleuthera is a bit of an oddity, being nearly 110 miles long from tip to tip, but only about a mile wide for most of that distance. This means that many of the island’s visitors (at least the ones coming by cruise ship) will never see more than a tiny fragment of the island’s southern tip during their visit. At least the part they do see comes with a nice white sand beach and plenty of things to do while you’re there. Granted, many people will quite likely find a nicer beach elsewhere on their cruises (I happen to like Coki Beach in St. Thomas myself) but if there’s one particularly nice thing about the beach at Princess Cays, it’s the fact that your visit comes with no obligations. One thing you quickly learn while on a cruise is that the port calls are often rather short, meaning that you’ll barely have time to scratch the surface of many of the islands you will visit."

Otherwise, a deductive argument is said to be invalid. A deductive argument is sound if and only if it is both valid, and all of its premises are actually true. Otherwise, a deductive argument is unsound. According to the definition of a deductive argument (see the Deduction and Induction ), the author of a deductive argument always intends that the premises provide the sort of justification for the conclusion whereby if the premises are true, the conclusion is guaranteed to be true as well. Loosely speaking, if the author's process of reasoning is a good one, if the premises actually do provide this sort of justification for the conclusion, then the argument is valid. In effect, an argument is valid if the truth of the premises logically guarantees the truth of the conclusion. The following argument is valid, because it is impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion nevertheless to be false: Elizabeth owns either a Honda or a Saturn. Elizabeth does not own a Honda. Therefore, Elizabeth owns a Saturn."

"text": "\"Powers Vice Presidents Politics What powers should the Vice President be given?8 Answers Douglas Chapel, B. A. in Political Science, summa cum laude Answered Sep 2, 2016 · Author has 436 answers and 437.9k answer views I don’t think the U. S. Constitution should be amended to give the vice president additional formal responsibilities or powers. It’s not necessary. The Constitution, as we know, gives the vice president very little to do. He has his prime spot in the line of succession, and he’s the President of the U. S. Senate, a role that is almost entirely a formality, mostly seen during the State of the Union and other presidential addresses to Congress. But, even without any changes to the Constitution, vice presidents have acquired additional responsibilities over time through other processes, mostly since World War II. Different presidents have delegated different tasks to their vice presidents, depending on what their perceived strengths and weaknesses have been. This more informal system allows the president and vice president to work together more flexibly, whereas giving the vice president new constitutional powers would be much more inflexible. For example, if a particular vice president has strong foreign policy experience, the president may use him as a de facto ambassador to other strategic countries. But it wouldn’t make sense to give the vice president a constitutional role in foreign policy, because it’s not every vice president’s strength. Importantly, when the president delegates some responsibilities to the vice president, he doesn’t delegate any formal power - the buck still stops with the president, which is how it should be.765 Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Caleb Fultzpromoted by Sync.com Introducing Sync.com secure cloud storage."

De Mille probably wouldnt have a career. In other words, movies that we call epic!References: Getting Paid to Be an Extra - Moldite Fritz Langs hugely influential silent masterpiece was responsible for the look and feel of dystopian science fiction that came after it: Things to Come (1936), Blade Runner (1982), Brazil (1985), The Fifth Element (1997) and Minority Report (2002). Fashion and music also took its cue, from Madonna to Lady Gaga, Beyonce to Kylie Minogue, Givency to Versace, to the mad scientist hairdo, Metropolis took a shot at what the future would be like, and defined it. Conceived by Lang and his wife Thea von Harbou, the movie is essentially about class struggle in a future governed by demi-gods.

"text": "\"Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery A popular viral item describes the duties and obligations of honor guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.2KCLAIMList describes the duties and obligations of honor guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. RATINGMixture ORIGINAs a society, we have long observed traditional, solemn funereal ceremonies as a means of remembering, honoring, and mourning those who have passed on from this life to whatever lies beyond. As a nation, we observe some very formalized rituals as a means of affording our very highest honors to members of the armed forces who have died in the service of their country, particularly those who have fallen in wartime. Military funerals with honor guards, flag-draped coffins, salutes, and burials in cemeteries set aside for veterans are all symbols by which we honor and acknowledge our gratitude to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. There is perhaps no more potent symbol of this sacrifice than the “unknown soldier,” the serviceman who has died in combat but whose remains are not identifiable. He cannot be returned to his home, his friends and loved ones cannot know for certain how or when (or even if) he died, he cannot be placed to rest in a site of his own choosing. He remains, perpetually, a soldier who not only gave up his life for his country, but his very identity as well. That loss of identity makes the unknown soldier a powerful symbol, however — because he is no longer an individual, he stands for the purest ideals of courage, valor, and sacrifice and serves as a noble and selfless representation of service to one’s country. We acknowledge our unidentified fallen heroes with a special place of reverence in our most honored of burial grounds: the Tomb of the Unknowns (also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) in Arlington National Cemetery (ANC), where in 1921 we first laid to rest “In Honored Glory An American Soldier Known But To God.” Although we cannot inter all of our unidentifed war dead in Arlington, we nonetheless honor them all by including the remains of three representative soldiers of unknown identity who died in foreign wars (World War I, World War II, and the Korean War) there.

"text": "What is an Honorary Consul? To understand what an Honorary Consul is, we must first come to understand what a Occupational Consul, or Career Consul is. CAREER CONSULS Career consuls are government representatives assigned to diplomatic posts in foreign countries, and are recognized diplomats. Each consul represents his or her government (the “sending country”) in a foreign land (the “host country”). A consul of Mexico in Los Angeles, for example, would be a government official of the country of Mexico, authorized to carry out specific duties on behalf of the Mexican government in the U. S. There are many thousands of consuls, residing in virtually every country in the world, representing their sending country’s interests in the host country. Consuls operate from official offices called consulates. Consulates are part of the diplomatic foreign mission of the sending country, and are officially recognized by the receiving country as diplomatic in nature, and exempt from certain laws in the receiving country. You may have seen such things as consular license plates, flags or residences. These are used with specific permission of the receiving country in its recognition of the foreign mission of the sending country. Various immunities, exemptions and special treatments are designed to enable the consul to expeditiously carry out the duties required by both the sending and receiving countries, and in recognition of the importance of international business and diplomatic relations by most nations."

Not only did I get some of the best training in the world, but I also lived, learned, and was exposed to many invaluable experiences that, even today, I appreciate. I was one of the fortunate ones to be posted in WFO (Washington, DC Field Office) which is the nucleus of Presidential, Vice Presidential, and Foreign Dignitary activity. Plus, this was 1991 – a campaign year – so that created a completely different dimension of exposure and experience. Interestingly, I was the only Spanish speaker in the entire DC office. Add all that up and you have a formula for a hell of an exciting year on the job. I kid you not when I tell you that I might have had five days off during that entire year. When I left government service, I became a self-employed contractor, going back and forth between a variety of domestic and international Executive Protection gigs and a series of intriguing private investigations.

"text": "\"Kheper Home | Buddhism Home | Mahayana Buddhism | Vajrayana Buddhism | Tantra Home | Topics Index | New or Updated | Search The Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism - A Study in Spiritual Evolution A constant intriguing factor in the imagery of the Great Buddha is the group of three curving conch-like lines on his neck. In the varied world of Buddhist art this is one common characteristic that shines across all aesthetic traditions. Like other Buddhist motifs, it too is soaked in rich spiritual symbolism. It is said to represent Buddha's deep and resonant voice, through which he introduced his followers to the path of dharma. The association of the conch shell with Buddha's melodious voice, sweet with the tenor of his uplifting message, has both an archetypal simplicity and universal appeal. It is a hard-hitting symbol which associates a primordial object (deemed sacred in all ancient traditions) with the actual physical body of the Buddha. Indeed, though much of Buddhist philosophy is esoteric, when it comes to aesthetics, Buddhist art is justly famous for giving a physical, easily recognizable representation to abstract philosophical truths. Buddhism has evolved over the centuries a complex, yet discernable scheme of symbolism which has found adequate expression in Buddhist art. Undoubtedly, the most popular of such symbols is the group of eight, known in Sanskrit as 'Ashtamangala,' ashta meaning eight and mangala meaning auspicious. Each of these symbols is also individually associated with the physical form of the Buddha."

"text": "\"Letters & Emails Business Letters Business Letter Closing Examples Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Alison Doyle Updated December 12, 2017When you're writing a business letter or sending an email message, it's important to close your letter in a professional manner. The ideal ending for a business letter conveys your thanks and respect, without eccentricity or an overly familiar tone. Although it may seem old-fashioned, most business professionals expect written correspondence – whether via a letter or an email – to be written and formatted in a conservative manner. Not only does this mean that you should focus on neutrality in your letter’s appearance (avoiding the use of colorful paper, brash logo designs, and artistic fonts), but it also means that you should employ a very low-key, unnuanced, and professional closing phrase. The best-case scenario is that the hiring manager, colleague, or connection won't even notice the closing. The following are a list of letter closing examples that are appropriate for business and employment-related correspondence. Business Letter Closing Examples Sincerely Sincerely yours Regards Best Best regards Kind regards Yours truly Most sincerely Respectfully Respectfully yours Thank you Thank you for your consideration Military Correspondence Closings Similar to business or employment-related correspondence, military correspondence also has set standards for the closing (also called a “valediction”) which one should present before one’s signature. If your company conducts business with the military – or if you are applying for a job in the military – you should be aware that “Very Respectfully” (often abbreviated as “V/R”) is used in written and emailed correspondence between military members. It is established etiquette by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, United States Department of Defense, the U. S. Army, the U. S. Navy, and the U. S. Air Force that the closing “Respectfully yours” be reserved for the President of the United States (according to U. S. Army standards, this also extends to the first lady and the President-elect). Letters to all other dignitaries simply use the valediction, “Sincerely."

A Closer Look at Sedimentary, Igneous and Ring Dikes Share Flipboard Email Print A dike intruding into preexisting igneous rock. Mangiwau / Moment / Getty Imagesby Andrew Alden Updated March 17, 2017A dike (spelled dyke in British English) is a body of rock, either sedimentary or igneous, that cuts across the layers of its surroundings. They form in pre-existing fractures, meaning that dikes are always younger than the body of rock that they have intruded into. Dikes are normally very easy to find when looking at an outcrop. For starters, they intrude the rock at a relatively vertical angle. They also have a completely different composition than the surrounding rock, giving them unique textures and colors. The true three-dimensional shape of a dike is sometimes hard to see at an outcrop, but we know that they are thin, flat sheets (sometimes referred to as tongues or lobes). Clearly, they intrude along the plane of least resistance, where rocks are in relative tension; therefore, dike orientations give us clues to the local dynamic environment at the time they formed. Commonly, dikes are oriented in line with local patterns of jointing."

Natural sand dunes and constructed dikes, dams, and floodgates provide defense against storm surges from the sea. River dikes prevent flooding from water flowing into the country by the major rivers Rhine and Meuse, while a complicated system of drainage ditches, canals, and pumping stations (historically: windmills) keep the low-lying parts dry for habitation and agriculture. Water control boards are the independent local government bodies responsible for maintaining this system. In modern times, flood disasters coupled with technological developments have led to large construction works to reduce the influence of the sea and prevent future floods.

First-century Roman author Pliny wrote something similar in his Natural History: [1]There, twice in every twenty-four hours, the ocean's vast tide sweeps in a flood over a large stretch of land and hides Nature's everlasting controversy about whether this region belongs to the land or to the sea. There these wretched peoples occupy high ground, or manmade platforms constructed above the level of the highest tide they experience; they live in huts built on the site so chosen and are like sailors in ships when the waters cover the surrounding land, but when the tide has receded they are like shipwrecked victims. Around their huts they catch fish as they try to escape with the ebbing tide. It does not fall to their lot to keep herds and live on milk, like neighboring tribes, nor even to fight with wild animals, since all undergrowth has been pushed far back."

"text": "Dikes Dikes are formed when magma (a mixture of molten material and crystals) rises from below and cuts across pre-existing strata. The magma may follow pre-existing cracks or faults, or may create its own path upward. The magma crystallizes underground and becomes a dike, which is a plutonic or intrusive rock. Erosion cuts into the earth and allows us to observe the dikes. The magma in a dike may or may not have reached the surface. If the magma pours out onto the surface then it becomes a volcanic or extrusive rock. All extrusive rocks must of necessity have intrusive feeders, usually dikes or plugs. Colorado is home to examples of every type of known dike structure. Here are a few of Colorado’s amazing array of dikes: Click image to enlarge.

You’ll enjoy more scenic beauty as the sugar cane fields yield to vast palmetto-dotted prairies where cattle roam, there is less industrial traffic on this wilder shore of Lake Okeechobee, and you’ll walk right past services in several Florida Trail Gateway Communities – Clewiston, Moore Haven, and Lakeport – making a zero day and resupply much easier. Sunrises on this side of the lake are spectacular. Most of the hike is atop the 35-foot-tall Herbert Hoover Dike, affording sweeping panoramas in every direction. Marshes fill in this shallower side of the lake, so wildlife sightings – and interesting birds – are more common. Backpacker campsites are spaced at decent intervals along the route. Much of the trail, but not all, is paved. All of it is multi-use. Interested in hiking this part of the Florida Trail as a series of day hikes with a group?"

The dam is 340 ft (100 m) high and 1,400 ft (430 m) long, flanked by earthen wing dams. It was completed in 1955, officially opening the following year. Located at the juncture of the north and south forks of the American River, the dam was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and was transferred to the United States Bureau of Reclamation upon its completion. The dam and its reservoir, Folsom Lake, are part of the Central Valley Project, a multipurpose project that provides flood control, hydroelectricity, and irrigation and municipal water supply. In order to increase Sacramento's flood protection to 200 year flood protection (meaning that the area is protected from a flood that has a 0.5% chance of occurring in any given year) the US Army Corps of Engineers is constructing an auxiliary spillway.

Fewer people realize that the crust beneath oceans and continents is fundamentally different. Why this is so remains a mystery that scientists are still trying to solve. Oceanic crust is generally composed of dark-colored rocks called basalt and gabbro. It is thinner and denser than continental crust, which is made of light-colored rocks called andesite and granite. The low density of continental crust causes it to “float” high atop the viscous mantle, forming dry land. Conversely, dense oceanic crust does not “float” as high—forming lower-lying ocean basins. As oceanic crust cools, it becomes denser and ultimately sinks back into the mantle under its own weight after about 200 million years. Earth’s continental crust, on the other hand, is up to 4 billion years old, and it is thought to be the product of geologic recycling processes far more complicated than those that create ocean crust. If we can decode and read the relatively simple story of how oceanic crust is formed, we may someday be able to decipher the more complex record of how the continents developed."

It occurs mostly in shallow intrusions (dikes and sills) of basaltic composition. It grades to basalt when it solidifies rapidly and to gabbro when more time is given to the crystals to grow. The term “microgabbro” is sometimes used to refer to such rocks. Diabase with notable plagioclase phenocrysts from La Palma, Canary Islands. Width of sample is 5 cm. Diabase is composed of plagioclase feldspar (mostly labradorite) and pyroxene ( augite ). The crystals that make up dolerite are usually visible to the naked eye, but sometimes porphyritic rocks of basaltic composition with pyroxene and especially plagioclase phenocrysts are also named that way."

( June 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The coronary sinus is a collection of veins joined together to form a large vessel that collects blood from the heart muscle ( myocardium ). It delivers less-oxygenated blood to the right atrium, as do the superior and inferior vena cavae. It is present in all mammals, including humans. The name comes from the Latin corona, meaning crown, since this vessel forms a partial circle around the heart. The coronary sinus drains into the right atrium, at the coronary sinus orifice, an opening between the inferior vena cava and the right atrioventricular orifice or tricuspid valve. It returns blood from the heart muscle, and is protected by a semicircular fold of the lining membrane of the auricle, the valve of coronary sinus (or valve of Thebesius). The sinus, before entering the atrium, is considerably dilated - nearly to the size of the end of the little finger. Its wall is partly muscular, and at its junction with the great cardiac vein is somewhat constricted and furnished with a valve, known as the valve of Vieussens consisting of two unequal segments."

Learning Objectives Outline the divisions of the aorta Key Takeaways Key Points The blood is pumped from the left ventricle into the aorta and from there branches to all parts of the body. The aorta is divided into three parts: the ascending aorta (where the aorta initially leaves the heart and points toward the head), the arch of the aorta (where the aorta changes direction), and the descending aorta (where the aorta points toward the feet). The ascending aorta has two small branches, the left and right coronary arteries, that provide blood to the heart muscle. The arch of the aorta has three branches: the brachiocephalic artery (which divides into right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery), the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery. These arteries provide blood to both arms and the head. Within the abdomen, the descending aorta branches into the two common iliac arteries; these provide blood to the pelvis and, eventually, the legs. Key Termsdescending aorta: The region of the aorta that passes inferiorly towards the feet.ascending aorta: The region of the aorta directly attached to the heart that passes superiorly towards the head.arch of the aorta: The region of the aorta that changes direction between the ascending and descending aorta.

It is situated in the mediastinum of the thorax, while the great vessels radiate their branches to the head and neck, the thorax and abdomen and the upper and lower limbs. It uses rhythmic electrical impulses that cause the ventricles to contract and force the blood out of the heart so that the returning blood maybe return in a circular fashion. In this article, the major anatomy of the heart will be discussed, such as the borders, surfaces, the chambers and the great vessels. A brief overview of some common pathological findings is also mentioned. Recommended video: Heart in situ Heart in situ seen from the anterior view. Borders The superior border of the heart as seen from an anterior view is made by the atria and their auricles. The larger part of the right ventricle and some of the left ventricle contribute to the inferior border. It should be noted that the heart is not a rectangle or a square with clear sides, and therefore at a certain angle some structures will be only partially visible.

Our management strategy includes anatomic- and function-based surveillance to select surgical candidates. We reviewed our surgical cohort and analyzed anatomic and functional outcomes. Methods We queried our heart center databases to obtain the names of all patients with AAOCA managed at our institution between 1974 and 2014. We performed a retrospective chart review. Results Two hundred fifty-nine patients were managed for AAOCA. Sixty-one underwent surgical intervention."

Schematic view of the heart An anterior left coronary artery. Base and diaphragmatic surface of heart. Coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium and other components of the heart. Two coronary arteries originate from the left side of the heart at the beginning (root) of the aorta, just after the aorta exits the left ventricle. There are three aortic sinuses (dilations) in the wall of the aorta just superior to the aortic semilunar valve. Two of these, the left posterior aortic sinus and anterior aortic sinus, give rise to the left and right coronary arteries, respectively. The third sinus, the right posterior aortic sinus, typically does not give rise to a vessel."

Or is SL too unpredictable to do that? If you accept the definition of bolus as requiring pill or IV (Intra Venous) administration, then SL (Sub Lingual) administation would not be a bolus. Regardless of whether it is NTG (Ni Tro Glycerin or GTN – Glyceryl Tri Nitrate in Commonwealth countries). I do not like that definition. I prefer to view a bolus in a more practical way, by the effect on the patient. Does anything else matter more? A bolus is a large dose given in a short period of time to reach a therapeutic level quickly. This should be done with an understanding of the appropriate rate of administration of that particular drug.––If the drug is absorbed quickly, does it matter if the route is SL, buccal (lollipop), IN (Intra Nasal), IM (Intra Muscular), IV push, or IV infusion? Is there an important distinction among IV boluses?"

It relaxes the smooth muscles in the walls of arteries, which opens (dilates) the arteries, allows blood to flow more easily, and lowers blood pressure. Additionally, it lowers blood pressure by acting on the heart itself to reduce the rate, strength, and conduction speed of each beat. It is also used off-label as an effective preventive medication for migraine. It is a class 3 antianginal drug, and a class IV antiarrhythmic. Diltiazem is metabolized by and acts as an inhibitor of the CYP3A4 enzyme which can cause it to interact with a variety of other medications. Contents [ hide ]1 Mechanism2 Nontherapeutic effects and toxicities3 Indications4 Contraindications and precautions5 Drug interactions5.1 Beta-blockers5.2 Quinidine6 Potential future indications7 References8 External links Mechanism [ edit]180mg Cardizem capsule Diltiazem is a potent vasodilator, increasing blood flow and variably decreasing the heart rate via strong depression of A-V node conduction. Its pharmacological activity is somewhat similar to verapamil, another nondihydropyridine (non-DHP) calcium channel blocker. [ 1] Chemically, it is based upon a 1,4-thiazepine ring, making it a benzothiazepine -type calcium channel blocker. It is a vasodilator of coronary and peripheral vessels, which reduces peripheral resistance and afterload, though not as potent as the dihydropyridine (DHP) calcium channel blockers."

"text": "\"An Atrial Fibrillation Cause Your Doctor Didn't Tell You There is an Atrial Fibrillation Cause or two that are easy to remedy and extremely well researched, yet doctors and cardiologists will never tell you about them. When you find out about this extremely common cause of atrial fibrillation, then you will wonder why no one has told you about it and why no one has used these inexpensive substances in order to help you. How is Magnesium An Atrial Fibrillation Cause? Magnesium is an extremely well-researched mineral, and it is vital for the electrical activity in the body- especially for the heart and the brain. Every cell in the body and every single electrical pathway in the body is regulated by magnesium and when this electrical activity gets altered, you can have problems that range from simple irritability to atrial fibrillation to Sudden Death from Heart Failure. When you take a look at the Signs of Magnesium Deficiency, you will see that all of the symptoms have to do with the inability to relax- whether it is muscles, neurons or YOU that can't relax. What IS atrial fibrillation anyway? It is the inability of the atrial portion of the heart and its electrical activity to relax. The effects of the atria are somewhat like a Muscle Cramp or a 'seizure' of the heart. And muscle cramps and seizures are both related to magnesium deficiency as well!There are many, many studies showing that the Causes of Muscle Cramps, spasms, tightness, seizures, Heart Palpitations etc."

Calcium Channel Blocker Calcium channel blockers slow the movement of calcium between cells. This helps the body improve blood flow and control heart rhythm. Calcium helps the heart to pump and blood vessels change size. However, too much calcium can cause the heart to beat out of rhythm and make blood vessels narrower. As blood vessels narrow, less blood travels to the heart and it receives less oxygen. This causes the heart to pump harder to get the oxygen it needs. By getting in calciumâ¬\"\"s way and slowing calcium flow between cells, calcium channel blockers restore normal heartbeat as well as normal blood and oxygen flow throughout the body.

With which drugs do calcium channel blockers interact? What are examples of calcium channel blockers available? What are calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and how do they work? Calcium channel blockers are drugs that block the entry of calcium into the muscle cells of the heart and arteries. The entry of calcium is critical for the conduction of the electrical signal that passes from muscle cell to muscle cell of the heart, and signals the cells to contract. It also is necessary in order for the muscle cells to contract and thereby pump blood."

"text": "24Nov 20151 Commentby Najm Haque, PGY2Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is a common emergency room problem. Patient with stable blood pressure who present in Afib with RVR need medications to control their heart rate (unstable patients require more cardioversion). Traditionally, these patients receive beta blockers or calcium channel blockers in IV form for rate control. The most common medications used in the US are metoprolol and diltiazem, but it is unclear which is superior. Fromm et al Diltiazem vs. Metoprolol in the Management of Atrial Fibrillation or Flutter with Rapid Ventricular Rate in the Emergency Department This study was published in the Journal of Emergency Medicine in April 2015 and compared how fast rate control was achieved in diltiazem vs metoprolol. This was a prospective, double-blind study which compared the effects of both medications at 30 minutes, as well as looking at mean decrease in heart rate, and adverse effects. Patients were randomized and either received Diltiazem 0.25 mg/kg IVP (maximum dose of 30mg) or Metoprolol 0.15mg/kg IVP (maximum dose of 10mg). A second escalation dose of 0.35mg/kg of diltiazem (max of 30mg) or 0.15mg/kg of metoprolol (max of 10mg) was given at 15 minutes if target HR was not achieved. The results of the study showed that diltiazem reached the target HR of <100 much more frequently at 5 minutes (50% vs 10.7%) and at 30 minutes (95.8% vs 46.4%) when compared to metoprolol. There was no difference in adverse effects."

"text": "\"What Is Diltiazem (Cardizem)?16 Reviews Diltiazem is the generic form of the brand-name drug Cardizem, which is used to treat high blood pressure and control chest pain (known as angina ). It's also sometimes used to treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia ). There are several other brand names of this medication, including Cartia, Dilacor XR, Diltzac, Taztia and Tiazac. Diltiazem works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. This type of medication is known as a calcium-channel blocker. Diltiazem comes in a tablet, extended-release tablet, extended-release capsule and injectable form. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1982. Some doctors have also prescribed diltiazem to prevent migraines, though the evidence supporting its use among people with migraines is not universally accepted. Diltiazem Warnings Diltiazem may prevent chest pain if taken regularly, but it does not stop chest pain once it starts. Diltiazem controls high blood pressure and chest pain, but it does not cure them."

Size And Definition Posted in Car Audio Video by akiza on March 17, 2009Recently we came across with many queries regarding what does din mean for car stereo sizes or what size is a din for car stereo? Lets explain what is DIN first. Basically Car stereos come in two basic sizes: Single-DIN Car stereo and Double-DIN Car stereo. Single-DIN: 178mm wide x 53mm high; approx. 7 inches wide x 2 inches high Double-DIN: 178mm wide x 106mm high; approx. 7 inches wide x 4 inches high The depth is not standardized, so measure the dashboard cavity to see how far you can go. DIN stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung, the organization that set standards for German-made car audio. These were adopted internationally in 1984. DIN refers to the size of the in-dash car stereo unit, also called the head unit."

The three elements we examined were carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus due to their importance in ecosystems, and because of the tendency for the growth and reproduction of living things to be limited by access to these resources. This month we will focus on factors critical to ecosystem function and conclude with a discussion of some of the patterns in the oceanic ecosystem. An Ecosystem Is…I' ve used the term ecosystem several times already, but I haven't really defined what an ecosystem is. An ecosystem is a particular assemblage of living organisms (called biotic factors) along with the non-living components (called abiotic factors) present in an environment that exert influence over each other. For example, the kelp forests off North America's west coast can be referred to as an ecosystem. Upwelling of deep oceanic water results in a high availability of nitrogen and phosphorus. These encourage phytoplanktonic growth as the base of a complex food web that eventually results in productive fisheries. This upwelling is controlled primarily by winds that blow parallel to the coast. Without the wind there would be no upwelling, without the upwelling there would be no abundance of nutrients, and without the growth of phytoplankton from the nutrients there would be no fisheries."

Over time, the mamluks became a powerful military knightly caste in various societies that were controlled by Muslim rulers. Particularly in Egypt, but also in the Levant, Mesopotamia, and India, mamluks held political and military power. In some cases, they attained the rank of sultan, while in others they held regional power as emirs or beys.

Atmospheric deposition has been suggested to be more important than land inputs of nutrients to the East Mediterranean Sea. For the first time, atmospheric deposition measurements of dissolved inorganic phosphorous and nitrogen over Crete are used together with marine ecosystem observations in the Cretan Sea and a one-dimension physical/biogeochemical marine model. The adopted model configuration successfully reproduces observations of production rates and biomasses of phytoplankton and bacteria in the region. The atmospheric deposition of N and P to the East Mediterranean is shown to increase the primary production by 1–35% depending on season with the maximum impact calculated for summer and fall. Biomasses subsequently increase by 2–26% for phytoplankton and up to 7% for bacteria. The total organic carbon integrated year-around in the first 200 m of the water column increases by about 30%. The results also show the importance of the rate of P preferential to N remineralization in the upper sea water layer for the marine productivity. Simulations indicate that continuous atmospheric inputs of nutrients over several decades can maintain the anomalously high N-to-P ratio observed in the East Mediterranean seawater."

"text": "\"Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Sports What an ABEC Rating Tells You About Skateboard Bearings Share Flipboard Email Printzumiez.comby Steve Cave Updated June 04, 2017Skateboard bearings often have an ABEC rating, and skaters are often confused about what that means. What Is the ABEC Rating System? ABEC stands for Annular Bearing Engineers' Committee and is the American method for rating the accuracy and tolerance rating of bearings. ABEC standards are set by the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA). So what does that mean? Well, bearings are used for all kinds of things, not just skateboard wheels. The higher an ABEC rating, the more accurate and precise the bearing is. When companies make bearings, sometimes they cheaply slap them together, and sometimes they are very carefully designed and assembled so that there is as little space as possible between the parts. When bearings are used in expensive and important machines, companies will spend hundreds of dollars on just one bearing -- it has to be perfect!But for skateboarding, we use much less precise bearings. This is because they are cheaper and with all the slamming and sudden starts and stops, a really expensive, delicate bearing would get ruined."

For example, raise the pitch of your voice to indicate a question. Imitate your baby's laughter and facial expressions. Teach your baby to imitate your actions, including clapping you hands, throwing kisses, and playing finger games such as pat-a-cake, peek-a-boo, and the itsy-bitsy-spider. Talk as you bathe, feed, and dress your baby. Talk about what you are doing, where you are going, what you will do when you arrive, and who and what you will see. Identify colors. Count items. Use gestures such as waving goodbye to help convey meaning."

"text": "\"Font size: + – Subscribe to this blog post Print About MIDI-Part 1: Overview The MIDI Association MIDI Tutorials MIDI (pronounced \"\"mid-e\"\") is a technology that makes creating, playing, or just learning about music easier and more rewarding. Playing a musical instrument can provide a lifetime of enjoyment and friendship. Whether your goal is to play in a band, or you just want to perform privately in your home, or you want to develop your skills as a music composer or arranger, MIDI can help. How Does MIDI Work? There are many different kinds of devices that use MIDI, from cell phones to digital music instruments to personal computers. The one thing all MIDI devices have in common is that they speak the \"\"language\"\" of MIDI. This language describes the process of playing music in much the same manner as sheet music: there are MIDI Messages that describe what notes are to be played and for how long, as well as the tempo, which instruments are to be played, and at what relative volumes. MIDI is not audio. MIDI is not audio. So if someone says MIDI sounds bad, they really don't understand how MIDI works."

"text": "A Reference Guide to the Most Common Collectible Bugles Okay, you have seen a bugle at an antique store or have come across one on an Internet auction site. There are many questions that come up: “What is it? Is it worth the price the seller is asking? Is it really a Civil War, Spanish-American War or World I or II instrument? What does the writing on the bell mean?” Up until recently, there has been little information published about bugles and few resources available. The following is meant to be a guide in identifying bugles commonly found at antique stores, sutlers (stores that cater to Revolutionary and Civil War re-enactors), and through Internet auction sites like e Bay. This is NOT a guide for every type of bugle or natural trumpet NOR a price guide, rather a reference for the identification of the most common types of bugles. This is also not meant to be the final word as you can find bugles in just about every variation of size and key. In many cases it is important to ask questions about something in which you are about to invest money."

"text": "\"How To ›Car Tech Double Din Radios Explained Are They Better Than a Single Din? Share Pin Email Print You can usually tell if you have a double DIN radio by measuring, but checking a fit guide is the only way to be sure. susaro / E+ / Gettyby Jeremy Laukkonen Updated March 05, 2018A \"\"2 DIN car stereo,\"\" is just the bigger of the two form factors that almost every head unit conforms to. If you've heard that you need one, it's probably just because that's what your car has right now, and replacing like with like is the easiest way to upgrade a car audio system. Digging in a little deeper, the two main radio sizes are “single DIN” and “double DIN,” and it’s actually pretty easy to figure out which one you need. If your car has a single DIN head unit, the front face plate should be about 7 x 2 inches (180 x 50 mm). If you have a double DIN head unit, the front face plate will be the same width but twice as tall. Since \"\"2 DIN car stereo\"\" is a colloquial term for double DIN, the head unit in your car will measure roughly 7 x 4 inches (180 x 100mm) if it conforms to that standard. The simple answer to your second question is that, no, you don’t ever need a double DIN head unit. If your car came with a double DIN head unit, you have the choice if replacing it with a single or a double DIN radio."

By function and utility, the flanges are present in many sectors and areas such as construction and industry. STANDARD FLANGE CLASSIFICATIONIt’s possible to produce standard flanges as ASA/ANSI/ASME (USA), PN/DIN (European), BS10 (British/Australian), and JIS/KS (Japanese/Korean). And usually these standards are not interchangeable. PRESSURE CLASS CLASIFICATION: Many of the flanges in each standard are divided into \"\"pressure classes\"\", depending on the different rates of pressure that are able to endure. The most common flanges pressure classes are #150, #300, #600, #900, #1500, #2500 and #3000 according to ASME designation. To other standards, as DIN, pressure classes are defined by the acronym PN, as for example, PN10, PN16, PN20, PN25, PN40, PN50, PN100, PN150, PN250 or PN420.

Film speed is the measure of a photographic film 's sensitivity to light, determined by sensitometry and measured on various numerical scales, the most recent being the ISO system. A closely related ISO system is used to describe the relationship between exposure and output image lightness in digital cameras. Relatively insensitive film, with a correspondingly lower speed index, requires more exposure to light to produce the same image density as a more sensitive film, and is thus commonly termed a slow film. Highly sensitive films are correspondingly termed fast films. In both digital and film photography, the reduction of exposure corresponding to use of higher sensitivities generally leads to reduced image quality (via coarser film grain or higher image noise of other types). In short, the higher the sensitivity, the grainier the image will be. Ultimately sensitivity is limited by the quantum efficiency of the film or sensor."

There are many different standards and types of horsepower. Two common definitions being used today are the mechanical horsepower (or imperial horsepower ), which is 745.7 watts, and the metric horsepower, which is approximately 735.5 watts. The term was adopted in the late 18th century by Scottish engineer James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses. It was later expanded to include the output power of other types of piston engines, as well as turbines, electric motors and other machinery.

DIN connectors are round, with pins arranged in a circular pattern. This type of connector was used widely for PC keyboards, MIDI instruments, and other specialized equipment. Another type of DIN connector is the mini-DIN. As the name suggests, mini-DIN connectors are smaller in size than a regular DIN. They are still round, but with the pins arranged in horizontal rows rather than in a circular pattern. Mini-DIN connectors are used for S-video connections, PS/2 mouse & keyboards, and some other applications.

The person who performs taqlid is termed muqallid. [ 1] The definite meaning of the term varies depending on context and age. Classical usage of the term differs between Sunni Islam and Shia Islam. Sunni Islamic usage designates the unjustified conformity of one person to the teaching of another, apart from justified conformity of layperson to the teaching of mujtahid (a person who is qualified for independent reasoning). Shia Islamic usage designates the general conformity of non-mujtahid to the teaching of mujitahid, and there is no negative connotation. In contemporary usage, especially in the context of Islamic reformism, it is often shed in a negative light, and translated as \"\"blind imitation\"\". This refers to the perceived stagnation of independent intellectual effort ( ijtihad) and uncritical imitation of traditional religious interpretation by the religious establishment in general.

Jingdezhen ware, Yuan dynasty, 1271-1368Silver-gilt plate, 1605, from the dinner service of Constance of Austria. Probably used as a charger to place other tableware on. A plate is a broad, concave, but mainly flat vessel on which food can be served. [ 1] A plate can also be used for ceremonial or decorative purposes. Most plates are circular, but they may be any shape, or made of any water-resistant material. Generally plates are raised round the edges, either by a curving up, or a wider lip or raised portion. Vessels with no lip, especially if they have a more rounded profile, are likely to be considered as bowls or dishes, as are very large vessels with a plate shape. Plates are dishware, and tableware. Plates in wood, pottery and metal go back into antiquity in many cultures."

"text": "\"Melt In Your Mouth 'Raw' Crème Fraîche Caramels Since last year, there has been a craze for something called nama kyarameru (生キャラメル, raw caramel) in Japan. The demand has been so great that people form long lines to buy it, and at least at the beginning of the fad there were frequent reports of sell-outs and long waiting lists. Raw caramel means meltingly soft caramel candies that have been made with fresh milk, fresh butter, and no additives. It's been a great marketing ploy for some dairy farmers in Hokkaido. Given that getting nama kyarameru from Hokkaido is not that easy for me, and believing firmly in the superiority of Swiss dairy products, I set about to make my own version. After many attempts, here is my version of raw caramel. They have a very slight fermented-sourness from the crème fraîche, and the pure salt flavor from the fleur de sel. And the sugar component is made richer by using golden syrup. I have a feeling I will never buy caramel candies again. Before you proceed: Some notes about making sugar candy Melted sugar can get very very hot, and since it clings it can burn you very badly."

"text": "Many deserted towns around the world are dangerous to visitors. Several of these places were abandoned after severe environmental damage had occurred, and the residents became extremely ill. Much of the damage and toxic aftermath lingers for years, and these ghost towns can still harm tourists today.10 Picher, Oklahoma Picher sprang up after lead and zinc deposits were discovered in 1914. The population quickly grew as both metals were needed during World War I. Picher’s miners helped fill the demand: more than half of the lead and zinc used during the war came from local mines. Eventually, the town became one of the largest exporters of lead and zinc in the world. Unfortunately, mining left behind a toxic byproduct called chat—a poisonous, chalky, white grit. After the mining stopped in the 1970s, there was an estimated 178 million tons of chat, mill sand, and sludge piled around the town. The townspeople had no idea that chat was highly poisonous. They used it to fill their driveways and their children’s sandboxes. [ 1] Families picnicked on the chat mounds, children rode their bikes on them, and the high school track team trained on them."

"text": "\"What does Benedict mean? Pronounce Benedict [ 3 syll. be - ne - dic (t), ben -edi- ct ] The baby boy name Benedict is pronounced as B EH N-eh-Dih KT †. Benedict is an English name of Latin origin. A biblical name, it is derived from the element 'benedictus' meaning blessed. Benedictus (Latin) is an old form of Benedict. The name was borne by the 6th-century Saint Benedict (480-550), the founder of Christian monastic communities and the Benedictine order. The name was first adopted by English speakers in the 12th century, and it was a popular Roman Catholic name. Common medieval forms of the name included Benedick and Bennett; the latter was popular enough to be used as a surname, which in turn led to a revival in its use as a modern given name. The Czech form Benes has given rise to the name Beynish, which is also used as a translation of Baruch. In the 18th century, the popularity of the name in the US declined somewhat through its association with Benedict Arnold (1741-1801), the Revolutionary soldier who plotted unsuccessfully to surrender his American fort to the British."

It's certainly become more readily available to everyone because of cheap franchises and especially since most of the country has pretty much become middle-class, but it's still somewhat of a celebratory food.

"text": "Diosmin Diosmin is a potent bioflavonoid originating from citrus fruits and is closely related to other citrus bioflavonoids like rutin, quercetin, and hesperidin. Diosmin is widely celebrated for its ability to support the sufficiency and integrity of veins along with lymphatic flow. It is also useful for treating a number of vascular conditions and is transformed into diosmetin (the aglycone form) by the intestinal bacteria. Diosmin is also effective for healing wounds and dealing with dermatitis. Diosmin for Varicose Veins Diosmin is widely used as a natural supplement for the treatment of hemorrhoids, lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, and varicose veins. Veins contain one way valves and channel blood back to the heart. When veins are obstructed or prolonged pressure is applied, the valves can become stretched and fail to close properly. This condition is known as varicose veins. Diosmin is perhaps most effective as a treatment for varicose veins as it has been used for over 30 years as a vascular protectant and a vein tonic. Diosmin Side Effects Diosmin is widely available through a number of outlets as a natural supplement."

The femoral artery has the thicker wall. Which vessel-the femoral artery or the femoral vein-has a wider lumen? The femoral vein has the wider lumen. In atherosclerosis, the walls of elastic arteries become less compliant (stiffer). What effect does reduced compliance have on the pressure reservoir function of arteries? Due to atherosclerosis, less energy is stored in the less-compliant elastic arteries during systole; thus, the heart must pump harder to maintain the same rate of blood flow. Why do metabolically active tissues have extensive capillary networks? Metabolically active tissues use oxygen and produce wastes more rapidly than inactive tissues, so they require more extensive capillary networks. How do materials move through capillary walls?"

It is an oral phlebotropic drug used in the treatment of venous disease, i.e., chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) including spider and varicose veins, leg swelling ( edema ), stasis dermatitis and venous ulcers. It is also used as a stand-alone or surgical adjunctive therapy in hemorrhoidal disease (HD). There are extensive clinical trials that show diosmin improves all stages of venous disease including venous ulcers and improves quality of life.

Buchu leaf is a traditional herbal remedy for urinary tract infections and for bladder and prostate inflammation. People also use this herb for relieving inflammation associated with gout and rheumatoid arthritis. Research does not support any suggested benefits of buchu leaf, according to Drugs.com. Some side effects are possible with this herbal remedy, so consult a qualified health care provider before taking buchu leaf. Digestive Effects Buchu leaf can cause stomach irritation due to its essential oil components diosmin and pulegone, as explained by Drugs.com. Side effects may include loss of appetite, diarrhea and nausea. An upset stomach is more likely when taking buchu leaf without eating beforehand, according to the Loyola University Health System. Urinary Tract and Liver Side Effects People have traditionally used buchu leaf as a diuretic, so the herb may increase frequency of urination if it works as claimed. Use of diuretics can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances."

Abstract Hot water extract of immature calamondin peel contains high total phenolic content, which shows significant correlation to DPPH scavenging potency. By heat treatment, the extraction yields of naringin, tangeretin, ferulic acid, p -coumaric acid and gallic acid increased, but the amount of 3′,5′-di-C-β-glucopyranosylphloretin (DGPP) decreased drastically. The major soluble phenolic compounds in the nonpolar extract are nobiletin and tangeretin, while DGPP and hesperidin are in the hot water extract. For insoluble phenolic compounds, ferulic acid, p -coumaric acid and sinapic acid are mainly in ester linkage form. After heat treatment, gallic acid and p -coumaric acid are the major increased soluble and insoluble phenolic acids, respectively. This indicates that high temperature heating (150 °C) probably produces two major effects: (1) degradation of flavonoids, such as DGPP and hesperidin; (2) destruction of the cell wall structure, leading to an increase in soluble nobiletin, tangeretin and gallic acid, as well as insoluble ferulic and p -coumaric acids.

"text": "Easy Bruising Due to Vitamin K Deficiency in Celiac Disease Posted by: Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN September 9, 2010Do you know someone who bruises easily? Do the marks develop into dark bluish swellings that hurt and take a long time to go away? If you have celiac disease, perhaps you had this problem before starting the gluten-free diet. Easy bruising is a type of ecchymosis, or superficial bleeding under the skin or mucous membrane, common in untreated celiacs – and may be the only symptom of celiac disease. While always a sign of an underlying problem, easy bruising in celiac disease results mainly from vitamin K deficiency induced by malabsorption of nutrients. Vitamin K deficiency impairs the body’s normal coagulation process and ability to form a clot in response to bleeding. Easy bruising must be taken seriously because vitamin K deficiency may become life-threatening, requiring rapid vitamin K medication. The good news is that vitamin K deficiency usually resolves quickly in 2 to 3 weeks on a strict gluten-free diet. A bruise is normally a flat reddish-purple discoloration or mark that develops from trauma, such as a blow, to soft tissues. It results from damage to underlying capillaries in the skin or mucous membranes."

There are three types of veins in the legs: Superficial veins, which are the ones just below the skin surface. You can often see or feel the larger superficial veins. The superficial leg veins are the ones that may develop into varicose veins. Deep leg veins, which pass through the muscles. You cannot see or feel these. Many small communicating (perforator) veins, which take blood from the superficial veins into the deep veins. There are one-way valves at intervals inside the larger veins.

An oral prescription medication called diosmiplex (Vasculera) contains diosmin with hesperidin constituents. The flavonoid complex is also available as a dietary supplement. Clinical studies have examined the use of the drug formulation for conditions of chronic venous insufficiency, leg ulcers, varicose veins and inflamed hemorrhoids.

Hesperidin, alongside naringenin, are known as the main citrus flavonoids. This page features 234 unique references to scientific papers. History Summary Things to Know How to Take Human Effect Matrix Scientific Research Citations Summary of Hesperidin Primary Information, Benefits, Effects, and Important Facts Hesperidin is a bioflavonoid glycoside commonly found in citrus fruits (most notoriously oranges) and is a sugar-bound form of the flavonoid hesperitin. Hesperitin is known to mediate the actions of hesperidin in the body, and since hesperidin needs to progress to the colon to be 'released' by intestinal bacteria it acts as a time-release for hesperitin; one serving of hesperidin seems to increased blood levels for over the course of a day or so when consumed in this manner. If we are to look currently at the human evidence on orally ingested hesperidin, it appears to promote blood flow (minorly to moderately) and may have a weak influence on blood pressure while it is pretty much ineffective on cholesterol and triglycerides. Not much other human evidence exists aside from the cardiovascular parameters mentioned above, and it seems pretty weak at improving parameters of diabetes as well (with exception to the eyes, diabetic retinopathy, as preliminary evidence suggests that hesperidin is quite protective of them). That being said, in animal studies oral intake of hesperidin at a dose similar to that used in humans seems to be a very potent cardioprotection agent and is quite protective of the brain in response to various stressors; the protection is antioxidative in nature, but it seems to work through a currently not identified antioxidant responses from the genome. Aside from the protective effects (most notable in the heart and brain, but extend to every organ), hesperidin may be able to reduce a lack of appetite and have minor anti-allergic properties. Orange peels can actually be used to get the supplemental dosage of hesperidin seen in the human studies, and hesperidin is known to interact with a variety of drug metabolizing enzymes so it should be approached cautiously if also using pharmaceuticals."

Varicose veins Leg affected by varicose veins Specialty Vascular surgery Treatment Endovascular surgery Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and twisted. The term commonly refers to the veins on the leg, [1] although varicose veins can occur elsewhere. Veins have pairs of leaflet valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards (retrograde flow or venous reflux). [ 2] Leg muscles pump the veins to return blood to the heart (the skeletal-muscle pump ), against the effects of gravity. When veins become varicose, the leaflets of the valves no longer meet properly, and the valves do not work (valvular incompetence). This allows blood to flow backwards and they enlarge even more. Varicose veins are most common in the superficial veins of the legs, which are subject to high pressure when standing. Besides being a cosmetic problem, varicose veins can be painful, especially when standing. Severe long-standing varicose veins can lead to leg swelling, venous eczema, skin thickening ( lipodermatosclerosis) and ulceration."

So, the natural way to go is to attack the root of the problem. There are a few things you can do here. First of all, its good that you stopped crossing your legs, beause that can cause spider veins, obviously you noticed this. A few more things you can do: do not sit or stand in the same place for too long, if you HAVE to them try switching your weight from side to side to promote circulation of the blood. Try elevating your legs above the level of your hips when you are sitting or laying down. Don't wear tight fitting clothes because it could constrict circulation. Further more, you really need a healthy diet (cliche, I know), but it is very true."

Before listing the letters, let us make a brief comment on the pronunciation of the language, as it evolved through the millennia. Pronunciation How close is the sound of Modern Greek to that of Classic Greek? Phonetically, Classic Greek would sound rather alien to contemporary Greeks, but don’t ever say this to them! It is an issue that most Greeks, even educated ones, ignore. ( 1) I suspect it is because the alphabet has stayed unchanged, so Greeks can read classic texts with no trouble at all (pronouncing in Modern Greek). After all, it all looks Greek to them! If any (non-Greek) scholar attempts to pronounce classic texts in the reconstructed (2) pronunciation, that, to Greeks is tantamount to sacrilege. As a contemporary Greek myself , I can give you my personal feeling for how the reconstructed pronunciation sounds: it is as if a barbarian is trying to speak Greek. ( 3) For example, take the word “ barbarian” itself (which is of Greek origin): in Classic Greek it would be pronounced [b á r·ba·ros]. In Modern Greek, it is [v á r·va·ros]. In general, the second letter of the alphabet, beta, was pronounced as [b] in Plato’s time, but was changed to [v] by the time the Gospels were written."

Her early leafs a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

Notable features of Spanish punctuation include the lack of the serial comma and the inverted question marks and exclamation points: ¿ ¡. Spanish uses capital letters much less often than English; they are not used on adjectives derived from proper nouns (e.g. francés, español, israelí from Francia, España, and Israel, respectively) and book titles capitalize only the first word (e.g. La rebelión de las masas ).

Separate transliteration tables for Classical and Modern Greek accompany this article. Some differences in transliteration result from changes in pronunciation of the Greek language; others reflect convention, as for example the χ ( chi or khi ), which was transliterated by the Romans as ch (because they lacked the letter k in their usual alphabet). In Modern Greek, however, the standard transliteration for χ is kh. Another difference is the representation of β ( bēta or víta ); in Classical Greek it is transliterated as b in every instance, and in Modern Greek as v. The pronunciation of Ancient Greek vowels is indicated by the transliteration used by the Romans. Υ ( upsilon) was written as y by the Romans, indicating that the sound was not identical to the sound of their letter i. Modern Greek υ ( ípsilon) is transliterated as i, indicating that the sound used today differs from that of the ancient υ. Read More on This Topic Indo-European languages: Greek Greek, despite its numerous dialects, has been a single language throughout its history. It has been spoken in Greece since at least 1600 bce and, in all probability, since the end of the 3rd millennium bce."

"text": "\"On \"\"Nothing Gold Can Stay\"\"Alfred R. Ferguson Perhaps no single poem more fully embodies the ambiguous balance between paradisiac good and the paradoxically more fruitful human good than \"\"Nothing Gold Can Stay,\"\" a poem in which the metaphors of Eden and the Fall cohere with the idea of felix culpa. Six versions of the poem exist, the first sent to George R. Elliott in March, 1920, in three eight-line stanzas under the title \"\"Nothing Golden Stays.\"\" In this version the poem lacked any Edenic metaphor, reading in the three last lines, \"\"In autumn she achieves / A still more golden blaze / But nothing golden stays.\"\" In its first published version, however, in The Yale Review (October 1923), under the present title, the poet caught both the moment of transitory perfection and the sense that the Edenic ideal must give way to earthly dying beauty: Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leafs a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. The poem begins at once in paradox: \"\"green is gold . . . leaf's a flower.\"\""

Australian English began to diverge from British English after the founding of the Colony of New South Wales in 1788 and was recognised as being different from British English by 1820. It arose from the intermingling of early settlers from a great variety of mutually intelligible dialectal regions of the British Isles and quickly developed into a distinct variety of English, [4] which differs considerably from other varieties of English in vocabulary, accent, pronunciation, register, grammar and spelling.

A phoneme is a sound, or set of similar speech sounds, which are perceived as a single distinctive sound by speakers of the language or dialect in question. For example, the \"\"c/k\"\" sounds in c at and k itten represent the English phoneme /k/. Phonemes are divided in vowels and consonants. There are also semi-consonants like /j/ and /w/, which for practical purposes will be listed as consonants here. Since some languages regard diphthongs (and triphthongs) as distinct phonemes and others don't, in order to clarify the comparison, diphthongs are counted separately from vowels. As diphthongs are merely combinations of vowels existing in a language, they won't be taken into account for the total of phonemes, so as not to count the same vowel phonemes multiple times. Diphthongs starting with semi-consonants like /ja/ and /wo/ are excluded from the list altogether. Numbers in brackets indicate vowels or consonants found only in dialects or loan words.

In French, the circumflex, called accent circonflexe, has three primary functions: It affects the pronunciation of a, e, and o; although used on i and u as well, it does not affect their pronunciation. It often indicates the historical presence of a letter (commonly s) that has, over the course of linguistic evolution, become silent and fallen away in orthography. Less frequently, it is used to distinguish between two homophones (for example, sur \"\"on\"\" versus sûr \"\"sure\"\"). In certain words, the circumflex is simply an orthographic convention that is not due to etymology or pronunciation.

It was borrowed from Ancient Greek, and combines the acute accent and the grave accent. Grammarian Jacques Dubois (known as Sylvius) is the first writer known to have used the Greek symbol in his writing (although he wrote in Latin ). Several grammarians of the French Renaissance attempted to prescribe a precise usage for the diacritic in their treatises on language. The modern usage of the circumflex accent became standardized in the 18th or 19th century.

"text": "\"The Pronunciation of Latin Today, there are two main ways of pronouncing Latin. The first of these is the Classical Pronunciation, which is the way we think Latin was spoken prior to around the third century or so. The second, and the one this web site is really concerned with, is Ecclesiastical Pronunciation, which is the way Latin has been spoken from somewhere in the 3rd/4th centuries down to present day and is the way Latin is spoken in the Church. The two methods are very, very close to one another. Indeed if one is familiar with one method, only a little effort is needed to be able to use the other. Guide to the Pronunciation of Ecclesiastical Latin Since English borrowed its alphabet from Latin, the pronunciation of individual Latin letters is close to that of English. In fact Latin is generally easier than English to pronounce since Latin does not have silent letters nor has the peculiar diphthong shifts of English (i.e. rough and through are pronounced very differently!). About the only difficulty is the need to distinguish between long and short vowels. There are no simple clues for the novice as to whether a vowel is long or short . It simply has to be memorized."

Geordie ( / ˈ dʒ ɔːr d i /) is both a regional nickname for a person from the larger Tyneside [1] region of North East England and the name of the Northern English dialect spoken by its inhabitants. The term is associated with Tyneside, south Northumberland and northern parts of County Durham. Geordie has been used and still is used by people to refer to anyone from North East England. [ 2]In many respects, Geordie speech represents a direct continuation and development of the language spoken by the Anglo-Saxon settlers of this region – initially mercenaries employed by the ancient Brythons to fight the Pictish invaders after the end of Roman rule in Britannia in the 5th century. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes who arrived became – in the course of time – ascendant politically and culturally over the native British through subsequent migration from tribal homelands along the North Sea coast of the German Bight. The Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that emerged during the Dark Ages spoke largely mutually intelligible varieties of what is now called Old English, each varying somewhat in phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon. This linguistic conservatism can be seen today to the extent that poems by the Anglo-Saxon scholar the Venerable Bede translate more successfully into Geordie than into present-day Standard English. [ 3] Thus in Northern England and the Scottish borders area, then dominated by the kingdom of Northumbria, there developed a distinct \"\" Northumbrian \"\" Old English dialect."

Phonetically, Classic Greek would sound rather alien to contemporary Greeks, but don’t ever say this to them! It is an issue that most Greeks, even educated ones, ignore. I suspect it is because the alphabet has remained the same, so Greeks can read classic texts with no trouble at all (pronouncing in Modern Greek). After all, it all looks Greek to them! If any (non-Greek) scholar attempts to pronounce classic texts in the reconstructed (1) pronunciation, that, to Greeks is tantamount to sacrilege. As a contemporary Greek myself, I can give you my personal feeling for how the reconstructed pronunciation sounds: it is as if a barbarian is trying to speak Greek. ( 2) For example, take the word “barbarian” itself (which is of Greek origin): in Classic Greek it would be pronounced [barbaros]. In Modern Greek, it is [varvaros]. In general, the second letter of the alphabet, beta, was pronounced as [b] in Plato’s time, but was changed to [v] by the time the Gospels were written. Now, to the modern Greek ear, [v] is a soft sound (a “fricative” in linguistics), sort of smooth and gentle, while [b] is a hard one (a “plosive”), kind of rough and crass. The same can be said about the letter delta, which was pronounced as [d] by Plato, and as [th] (as in this) since around Christ’s time, and the letter gamma ( [g] in Classic Greek, [gh] later the latter sound is a “voiced velar fricative”; click here to see the full repertoire of Modern Greek sounds)."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search U. S. President James Monroe Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, author of the Monroe Doctrine The Monroe Doctrine was a United States policy of opposing European colonialism in the Americas beginning in 1823. It stated that further efforts by European nations to take control of any independent state in North or South America would be viewed as \"\"the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States.\"\" [ 1] At the same time, the doctrine noted that the U. S. would recognize and not interfere with existing European colonies nor meddle in the internal concerns of European countries. The Doctrine was issued on December 2, 1823 at a time when nearly all Latin American colonies of Spain and Portugal had achieved, or were at the point of gaining, independence from the Portuguese and Spanish Empires. President James Monroe first stated the doctrine during his seventh annual State of the Union Address to Congress. The term \"\"Monroe Doctrine\"\" itself was coined in 1850. [ 2] By the end of the 19th century, Monroe's declaration was seen as a defining moment in the foreign policy of the United States and one of its longest-standing tenets. It would be invoked by many U. S. statesmen and several U. S. presidents, including Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan. The intent and impact of the Monroe Doctrine persisted with only small variations for more than a century. Its stated objective was to free the newly independent colonies of Latin America from European intervention and avoid situations which could make the New World a battleground for the Old World powers, so that the U. S. could exert its own influence undisturbed."

"text": "Diplomacy: Meaning, Nature, Functions and Role in Crisis Management Article shared by : ADVERTISEMENTS: Diplomacy stands accepted as the mainstay and the core process of relations among nations. The process of establishment of relations among nations begins effectively by the establishment of diplomatic relations among nations. A new state becomes a full and active member of the family of nations only after it gets recognition by existing states. The common way in which this recognition is granted is the announcement of the decision to establish diplomatic relations. Thereafter diplomats are exchanged and relations among nations get underway. As such diplomacy is the means through which nations begin to develop their relations. “Diplomacy is the management of international relations by means of negotiations; the method by which these relations are adjusted and managed by ambassadors and envoys the business or art of the diplomats” —Harold Nicholson. “Diplomacy is the inevitable outcome of the coexistence of separate political units (states) with any degree of contact.” — Frankel Diplomacy is a basic means by which a nation seeks to secure the goals of its national interest. Foreign policy always travels on the shoulders of diplomacy and gets operationalized in other states."

Twenty years after their departure from the original Empire's territory, the Sith discovered the forgotten world of Dromund Kaas and settled it to begin the process of rebuilding.

"text": "\"Taft and Wilson Share Tweet Post Next Outline Dollar Diplomacy William Howard Taft was easily elected in 1908, because a majority of Americans believed that he would continue the popular Republican policies laid out by President Roosevelt. Taft was susceptible to outside pressure, and he often submitted to the desires of Congress and special interest groups. Roosevelt and many Americans were angry and dismayed when Taft began to stray from the Republican platform. However, one area in which Taft consistently pursued Roosevelt’s aims was in expanding America’s influence abroad. Taft used America’s growing economic power as a diplomatic tool. He urged Wall Street investors to invest money in foreign markets in order to increase American influence abroad. Investors were especially encouraged to invest their money in foreign markets in which the U. S. had strategic interests, such as the Far East and the Panama Canal region. Many people were critical of Taft’s plan and his critics denounced this strategy as “dollar diplomacy.” In fact, the senate refused to sign several treaties, but the president encouraged private banks and Wall Street investors to act independently. One goal of dollar diplomacy was to preempt foreign powers from gaining or enlarging an investment foothold in key markets."

"text": "\"Globalization Thomas W. Zeiler Globalization became a buzzword following the end of the Cold War, but the phenomenon has long been a factor in the foreign relations of the United States and has deep roots in history. To the extent that it meant the expansion of trade and investments, it can be defined as economic expansion, as in the transition from territorial expansion in the nineteenth century to the increasing internationalization of markets in the twentieth century. In the aftermath of World War II, economic internationalism, or the suggestion of growing interdependence of nations and the development of international institutions, seemed to capture the essence of what more recently has been termed globalization. But such usages are too limited; they do not adequately define a phenomenon that shaped American diplomacy and its constituent elements of economics and culture. DEFINITION AND CONCEPTUALIZATION\"\"Globalization\"\" is a fairly new term. Professor Theodore Levitt, a marketing professor at the Harvard Business School, apparently first employed it in a 1983 article in the Harvard Business Review. It is arguable, however, that the basic concept dates to the first humans. Defined broadly, globalization is the process of integrating nations and peoples — politically, economically, and culturally — into a larger community. In this broad sense, it is little different from internationalization. Yet globalization is more than this incremental process that over the centuries has brought people and nations closer together as technological innovation dissolved barriers of time and distance, and enhanced flows of information promoted greater awareness and understanding."

[ 1] Walpole's position was known to Americans. However, during the American Revolution, the Second Continental Congress debated about forming an alliance with France. It rejected non-interventionism when it was apparent that the American Revolutionary War could be won in no other manner than a military alliance with France, which Benjamin Franklin successfully negotiated in 1778. [ 2]When Britain and France went to war in 1792, George Washington declared neutrality, with unanimous support of his cabinet, after deciding that the treaty with France of 1778 did not apply. [ 3] Washington's Farewell Address of 1796 explicitly announced the policy of American non-interventionism: The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns."

Why did a majority of the people living in the central part of North America think it in their interest to send half a million soldiers 6,000 miles away to the Persian Gulf? The simplest answer is one word: oil. To quote one of the better placards at a peace march, \"\"If Kuwait exported broccoli, we wouldn't be there now.\"\" Like most slogans, however, that one oversimplifies the truth. Persian Gulf oil accounts for less than five percent of America's energy consumption. Japan, which is highly dependent on Gulf oil, did not send troops, while Britain, which exports oil, did send troops. So oil is not the whole answer. Other possible aspects of the answer include \"\"a new world order,\"\" collective security, interdependence, prevention of regional hegemony, and reversal of American decline.

Diplomacy serves the interests of the ruling classes (in a socialist state, those of the working people). In literature, diplomacy is often defined as the “science of foreign relations” and the “art of conducting negotiations.” The word is derived from the Greek diploma —in ancient Greece, the designation for folded, inscribed name-plates that were conferred on envoys as credentials and documents confirming their authority. The word “diplomacy” gained currency in Western Europe at the end of the 18th century as the term forstate activity in foreign relations. The basic forms of diplomatic activity are congresses, conferences,and meetings, correspondence in the form of declarations, letters, notes, and memoranda, thepreparation and conclusion of international treaties and agreements, the day-to-day representation of the state abroad by its embassies and legations, the participation by representatives of the state in theactivity of international organizations, and the clarification in the press of the position taken by thegovernment on given international questions."

Taylor Fain Miller Center of Public Affairs, University of Virginia VUS.9a Between 1890 and 1917, the United States took possession of Hawaii, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Samoa. It established protectorates over Cuba, Panama, and the Dominican Republic, and mounted armed interventions in many of these countries as well as in China, Mexico, Haiti, and Nicaragua. What accounts for this great spasm of American energy and acquisitiveness at the beginning of the twentieth century? Did the United States consciously seek to become an \"\"imperial\"\" power in the years between the Spanish-American War and its entry into the First World War? If so—and even if that decision was not conscious—what was the nature of American imperialism and how did it shape the course of U. S. diplomacy in the Caribbean and Far East? These questions continue to generate spirited debate among historians of American foreign relations. Economic Transformation and Foreign Policy The emergence of the United States as a major player in Asia and Latin America was closely related to the spectacular growth of the American economy in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This explosive growth accompanied the centralization of the federal government's bureaucracy and the establishment of a truly national state. Between the end of Reconstruction and the beginning of the First World War, the \"\"island communities\"\" of rural America slowly disappeared as social and economic changes ushered in a modern, urban, industrial United States. During these years, the American economy was transformed from one based on small, family-owned businesses to one dominated by a highly integrated system of large corporations."

"text": "Reynad calls Hearthstone subreddit a “scumbag community” over Magic Amy saga By Tim Clark 2015-02-25T21:50:50.55ZComments Last week saw the unedifying spectacle of one of Hearthstone’s higher profile women players, Hyerim ‘Magic Amy’ Lee, quitting her team, and seemingly the scene, after accusations about her identity were made by an ex-teammate, who has himself been banned by Blizzard for ‘win trading’. That was followed by an Imgur dump of screengrabs by two Team Dignitas players showing various online accounts used by Lee, with captions intended to support the original claim. A full blown Reddit freakout followed, as a result of which her team, Tempo Storm, opted to conduct an investigation into whether the claims held any weight. Despite that investigation finding no evidence of wrongdoing, Lee decided to part ways from Tempo Storm rather than have to attend a LAN tournament in order to prove to her detractors that she is who she says she is. At the time of the split Tempo Storm released a lengthy statement explaining the situation, and wishing Lee all the best. Now, the team’s founder Andrey ‘Reynad’ Yanuk, has offered a considerably more robust take. Speaking on his stream, the VOD of which you can watch above, he said: “Basically, I’ve never been so embarrassed—I’ve never actually been embarrassed to be a Hearthstone player before last week. All of you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves and it’s probably the biggest setback to getting women into e-sports that I can recall happening in the past year or two… You all make me fucking sick. ”Hyerim 'magicamy' lee Reynad’s relationship with the Hearthstone community on Reddit has long been fractious, and no punches are pulled in terms of who he blames for the damage to Lee’s Hearthstone career: “...because all of the Reddit scumbag community just, like, tries to tear down her reputation she decides to quit Hearthstone. We never even fired her, she just didn’t want to play anymore because of all the shit that happened."

So, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the PCL-R... As you read each item, rate yourself (or someone else) with either 0, 1, or 2. If you rarely display such behavior, you get a 0. Don't worry though, there are plenty of chances to score. If you think the description applies to you sometimes or you can see yourself behaving as such, 1. If you read a description and think, \"\"Doesn't everyone do that? \"\", go ahead and give yourself a 2. And, for the sake of political correctness, the characters in the descriptions are not all the same gender. Because women can be psychopaths too. Like Lucy Liu in Kill Bill."

"text": "HOW DO YOU GET A JOB IN THE SKATEBOARD INDUSTRY?? September 27, 2012 / Ian Michna / ARTICLESShare Tweet Let’s face it, if you have ever spent any significant amount of time on a skateboard, you have probably dreamt about working in “the industry” at one point or another. How could you not! You flip through the magazines and see these people touring the world, filming, skating, partying – you’d be an idiot if you said you wouldn’t want to do that for a living. But how do you do it? There’s no guidebook or guaranteed way to get there. You can’t just go to grad school or college and get a major in it… So we figured we’d get in touch with a bunch of people that are successful in the industry and ask them for advice. Remove the curtain and find out how they got started, what makes them tick, and if it’s really as amazing as everyone likes to believe it is.photo: courtesy of paul chan1. PAUL CHAN, Videographer & Photographer – Lurker Vision [Skateboard Mag], Frank Hurts Show [ABD] and SGV. How did you get involved in the skateboard industry?"

"text": "\"Blog Weird World 5 Reasons Money Can Buy Happiness5 Reasons Money Can Buy Happiness Facebook Twitter Google Plus Add to Favorites By John Cheese · December 01, 20111302002153One of the ways rich people make poor people feel better about being poor is to bombard us with songs and movies reminding us that, at the end of the day, money isn't what's really important. These stories seem to feature people who have homes and cars and food, for whom all that extra overtime at work is all about getting a second summer home in the Hamptons. \"\" Dammit, honey, your children are more important than those material things! \"\" OK, how many of you reading this have that problem? The, \"\"I have so much cash in my life that my biggest problem is spending it on the wrong things\"\" issue? Well, all of you can stop reading. For the rest of us, I'm calling bullshit on the messages like ...5 \"\"Money Can't Buy Peace of Mind! \"\" Ah, the simple life. If you're greedy and shortsighted enough to worry about \"\"bills\"\" and your \"\"career\"\", you'll have inspirational email forwards like this one letting you know you're letting life pass you by. That one details a conversation between a hard-driven investment banker and a poor subsistence-level Mexican fisherman."

Still attached to his memory and feelings for Kikyo at first he was at odds with Kagome, but gradualy she grew on him, and began to see her as a different person from Kikyo and began to like her to, thus as the sries went on those feelings grew, just like they did with Kikyo the first time. So I feel he loves them equally enough. However now if I needed to pick one or the other, personally I tend to lean more toward Kikyo, because she bore the original root in his heart, and she is always on his mind when when he's with Kagome, but when Inuyasha is with Kikyo it's just them, like he can't think of anything else when they're together.posted over a year agoi like kagome and inuyasha better twilightshun posted over a year ago Okie Dokie, but your comment doesn't go wih the poster question.... :/ sesshyswind posted over a year ago Hiding 3 comments... click to show. Plus there is a scean where inuyasha get very angry with Kikyo, after she try's to kill kagome. Even pissed at her."

Over the past few years, we’ve been hearing stories of several smartphones bursting as a result of being charged too long. It is unfortunate to know but yes, they can happen. Once you start noticing that your battery pack feels a bit enflamed than usual, you need to replace it ASAP. Here are some of the deadliest mobile phone explosions recorded: Dec. 12, 2011: Galaxy S2 Skyrocket An anonymous Galaxy S2 Skyrocket owner posted on XDA-Developer forum site about the incident where he heard a sound coming from his phone then felt his leg burning up. When he took out his phone, it was already transmitting smoke. Dec. 1, 2011: i Phone 4A week after a similar i Phone 4 fiasco in Sydney, another unit was reported to have exploded in Brazil. After being overcharged, Ayla Paulo Mota’s phone started sparking a few inches from his face. Apple has not released a statement about this incident. Nov. 25, 2011: i Phone 4While onboard a plane, a passenger’s i Phone 4 detonated."

"text": "\"Health General Health Care Injuries How much does a Physiotherapy appointment cost and how long is it? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Too many variables and hard to answer but here are some points. If you have insurance make sure you go to somebody who is in network with your insurance company. In network means they have a contract with that insurance company to provide therapy at a discounted price, sometimes saving you as much as 60% or more off your bill. If you have no insurance call around to get prices but you will find that hospitals will have the highest charge and private clinics will give you the best price. Make sure you tell them you have no insurance and if you have financial hardship many will cut you a break. Your visits will probably last about about 45 minutes to one hour except for the first day because they have to do an evaluation which takes 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on your condition. A visit may cost you anywhere from $60 to $250 or more depending where you go and how they bill. They usually charge in 15 minute increments or per procedure. Most cost effective way with no insurance is to see them 2-3 times for instruction in a home exercise program."

But the reason for this preference is not known. The natural world, from anatomical proportions, to rates of reproduction, to sound frequencies used by birds, so many follow this ratio.

Kenakin, Ph DShow morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-384856-7.00002-1 Get rights and content Summary This chapter specifically discusses the concepts of affinity (expressed as a ratio of the rate of dissociation of the molecule from the protein (k 2) and the rate of association to the protein (k 1) in a parameter referred to as K eq where K eq =k 2 /k 1) and efficacy (the property of a molecule that changes the behavior of the biological target towards its cellular host when bound to that target). This latter term is general in that a given drug can have numerous “efficacies” of varying strength to yield multiple activities that are expressed either as sub-maximal (termed partial agonists) or maximal (full agonists) effects. Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the concept of a molecule having an “affinity” for a protein, and what the uniquely pharmacologic concept of “efficacy” means and its mechanism. Drugs can have many efficacies and this chapter describes the two drug related parameters of affinity and efficacy. The affinity and efficacy of a given molecule can be determined in one system (referred as “test” system), then these parameters may be used to assess drug activity in any other system, including the therapeutic one. This is of great value since drugs are very rarely discovered and studied directly in the therapeutic system. New terminologies such as rate of association and dissociation of molecules, equilibrium, lead, and lead optimization are also explained. Agonist response can be characterized in a system-independent manner by measurement of the affinity and efficacy of the agonist. Although both the parameters of affinity and efficacy are required to describe agonists, only affinity is required to characterize the activity of target antagonists. Flow charts and schematic diagrams help the reader to understand the process involved in drug effect."

"text": "\"+ Teaching Math With Schema-Based Instruction (SBI)Posted on April 27, 2008 | Leave a commentother topics: click a “category” or use search box In the Spring 2008 Issue of Perspectives, the quarterly publication of IDA, Asha K Jitendra describes a workable way to teach math to LD (indeed all) students. This post is adapted from it. Since problem solving is not well addressed in many mathematics textbooks, Jitendra and colleagues have developed a conceptual teaching approach that integrates mathematical problem solving and reading comprehension strategies (e.g., reading aloud, paraphrasing, questioning, clarifying and summarizing). Called “Schema-Based Instruction” (SBI), the system was tested and perfected for a decade. The goal: to improve student learning of word problems, especially students with LD and those at risk for math failure. In many textbooks, a “keyword” approach is followed. Too often the same procedure (e.g., addition) is used to solve all problems on a page, and opportunities to discriminate among problems that require different solutions are minimal. Further, these texts provide students with keywords that ‘send a terribly wrong message about doing math’ (Van de Walle, 2004). For example, students learn that the keywords in all or altogether suggest using addition, left indicates the use of subtraction, times requires multiplication, or shares indicates that they use division. The association of keywords with the mathematical operation is problematic in that reliance on these translation cues can lead to systematic errors."

By Nicholas Gerbis, Life's Little Mysteries Contributor | June 24, 2011 09:14am ETMOREWhether you are a science fiction fan, a space enthusiast or one of the millions who have watched astronauts gamboling about the moon's surface, you may have wondered how much you would weigh on other planets in the solar system. Whether you are a science fiction fan, a space enthusiast or one of the millions who have watched astronauts gamboling about the moon's surface, you may have wondered how much you would weigh on other planets in the solar system. To sort this out, it first helps to know a little Physics 101. [ Would Humans Born On Mars Grow Taller than Earthlings? ] Weight is the force gravity exerts on an object due to its mass. Mass, roughly, measures an object's inertia, its resistance to being moved or stopped, once it's in motion. Your mass remains constant across the universe (except in certain cases discussed in special relativity , but that is another story), while your weight changes depending on the gravitational forces acting on you, which vary from planet to planet. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation says that everything that has mass attracts every other thing that has mass, pulling with a force (a) directly proportional to the product of the two objects' masses and (b) inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating their centers. In other words, although gravity increases linearly as objects grow more massive, it decreases exponentially as the distance between them increases (a phenomenon known as an inverse-square law)."

If we use the mass ratio given in the problem, let's see what turns up: Ratio = 318 * (1.496 x 10^11 m)²/ (7.783 x 10^11 m)² = 11.75 As noted above, Jupiter is ~5 times farther from the Sun -- a more precise figure from the reference is 5.20283, so let's plug that in: Ratio = 318/ (5.20283)² = 11.75 Finally, the actual ratio of the masses is 317.83, so plugging that in to the equation immediately above gives: Ratio = 317.83/ (5.20283)² = 11.74 So, the gravitational force between Jupiter and the Sun is nearly twelve times that of the force between the Earth and Sun.1.5k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

The “M” word is Math and it is still illegal, in some states, to yell this word in a crowded theater. Why is this? In elementary school addition and subtraction came pretty easily and was often considered to be fun. Even multiplication and division seldom gave us headaches. But as we entered high school and progressed to algebra, geometry, and maybe even trigonometry eyes began to glaze over and we, somehow, learned something that was unintended - - avoid math whenever possible! I believe that the real reason so many of us did our best to avoid higher level math, both then and today, is a direct result of the way it is taught.

"text": "\"Variation Equations Equations Word Problems More Prob's Purplemath Variation problems aren't hard once you get the hang of the lingo. The only real difficulty is learning the somewhat specialized vocabulary and the techniques for this classification of problems. Variation problems involve fairly simple relationships or formulas, involving one variable being equal to one term. That term might be linear (something with just an \"\" x \"\"), quadratic (something in \"\" x 2 \"\"), more than one variable (such as \"\" r 2 h \"\"), a square root (something like \"\" 4 − r 2 \"\"), or something else. But there is always just the one term in the formula; this term will be multiplied by some number and, if you don't yet know what that number is, the number is usually denoted by \"\" k \"\". This number k is called \"\"the constant of variation\"\". Math Help.com Direct Variation So variation equations may have complicated expressions, but they'll only ever have the one term. Their equations will never have two or more terms added together. For instance, y = 3 x is a variation equation, but y = 3 x + 2 is not. An example of a variation equation would be the formula for the area of the circle: A = π r 2In the language of variation:the area A varies directly with the square of the radius r...and the constant of variation is k = π."

Answered Sep 9, 2015 · Author has 219 answers and 484.4k answer views People are being misled by answer providers here on Quora and also sadly by many professors who should know better. Energy conservation works perfectly well in cosmology. It works globally on any scale, is exact and it even works fine with dark energy in the expanding universe. The law of conservation of energy can be derived in any field theory of physics using Noether's theorem which says that it follows from the fact that the laws of physics do not change with time. Amazingly some cosmologists have become confused by the fact that the universe is expanding so that they think Noether's theorem does not apply. This is wrong. Noether's theorem only requires that the equations of the theory are unchanging, not the solution. The universe may change as it expands but the way in which it expands is the solution to equations that do not change with time. The first correct formulation for energy conservation in cosmology was given by Einstein in 1916 shortly after formulating the theory of general relativity."

This directly translates into a surge in demand for processing power, leading to the manufacture of powerful video and graphic cards. The Hardware Acceleration tab allows you to specify the performance of the graphics hardware present on your PC. All applications have different hardware acceleration requirements, depending on the task they are meant to perform. Problems due to improper hardware acceleration settings include - mouse pointer problems, corrupt images, problems while working with or converting videos in MPEG and DVR – MS formats, issues in playing video files in different media players and display problems with graphics in games. The symptoms include jerky videos and applications running slowly or failing to run at all. This problem is especially common in older PC's. Turning off the hardware acceleration system wide in Windows XPYou can turn off hardware acceleration completely or turn it down system wide in the following manner: Click on Start > Control Panel.

Technology weblog Digital Inspiration shows us how to fix this problem. Generally, if you get a green screen on a Flash video (audio but no video), you can refresh the page and get it working again—but that's annoying, and you'll probably have to do it every time you restart your browser or your computer. While the root of the problem is likely hidden in your video drivers, a quick fix is to just disable hardware acceleration in Flash. You might experience a slight decrease in performance, but you'll actually get video working again without going to too much trouble. To do this, just right-click on the video you're trying to play, go to Settings, and uncheck the \"\"Enable Hardware Acceleration\"\" box. From now on, your videos should start playing properly. It isn't the most ideal solution, but it's a good, quick, temporary fix. Note that I've only seen this happen in Windows, but the menu is also accessible from OS X and Linux.

Across devices, keyboard input is an important part of the overall Universal Windows Platform (UWP) interaction experience. A well-designed keyboard experience lets users efficiently navigate the UI of your app and access its full functionality without ever lifting their hands from the keyboard. Common interaction patterns are shared between keyboard and gamepad In this topic, we focus specifically on UWP app design for keyboard input on PCs. However, a well-designed keyboard experience is important for supporting accessibility tools such as Windows Narrator, using software keyboards such as the touch keyboard and the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK), and for handling other input device types, such as the Xbox gamepad and remote control. Many of the guidelines and recommendations discussed here, including focus visuals, access keys, and UI navigation, are also applicable to these other scenarios. NOTE While both hardware and software keyboards are used for text input, the focus of this topic is navigation and interaction. Built-in support Along with the mouse, the keyboard is the most widely used peripheral on PCs and, as such, is a fundamental part of the PC experience. PC users expect a comprehensive and consistent experience from both the system and individual apps in response to keyboard input.

After slowly but steadily moving out of the 3D niche it has arrived in the mainstream. Today, applications like Microsoft Office leverage the GPU, but even more so do web browsers. Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer all have hardware acceleration turned on by default. People generally seem to be happy about that – GPUs are super-efficient, the more work they do the fewer remains for the CPU, overall energy consumption is reduced and battery life increases. Or so the myth goes. Interestingly, facts to prove that are hard to find. Nobody seems to have measured how GPU acceleration affects CPU usage. Let’s change that. Test Scenario In order to evaluate the effect of GPU hardware acceleration on CPU utilization I put together a simple little test suite: HTML5 Canvas demo pixelgrid, 2 minutes The Boxtrolls movie website, refreshed every 15 seconds for 2 minutes Twitter newsfeed, refreshed every 15 seconds for 2 minutes A Youtube video in 720p, 2 minutes All of these sites use modern web technologies, only Youtube uses Flash as a fallback."

Spotting the trouble maker behind this bug will help you make the WORD stable again. From the beginner who has just learnt to operate the computer to the veterans, Microsoft word is being used by everyone. The reason is simple: This rich text editor comes with the handy features that support the creation and editing of resumes, process manuals, project reports and the many. Although Microsoft word is often referred as one of the most stable applications from the house of Microsoft, sometimes it crashes and throws an annoying error message “Microsoft word not responding”. As it freezes the window and locks up all the word functionality, the only option you will be left with will be none other than terminating the program and restarting it again via the task manager. Yes, you are right. It leads to a non recoverable data loss sometimes. At the worst cases, the word application tends to crash again and again.

Don't ask us why, but we liked Doom more than Duke Nukem, Quake or other clones. We simply enjoy the atmosphere, look and feel of Doom. We always dreamed of Doom sources being released. How many days we spent talking about the features we'd put in it! In the middle of 1997 we heard a rumour that the Doom sources would be released. Some months later the miracle happened: In December 1997, id Software made the full source code of Doom public. A great number of open source projects have started around the sources since, and Doom Legacy is competing to be the best of the choices!Doom Legacy can play Doom, Boom, and Heretic maps. In addition to the original games by id Software and Raven Software, there are hundreds of free, fan-made maps available on the Internet. These maps are typically distributed as PWAD files, which are not fully self-contained."

What Are Some Common Cursor Problems? Full Answer Jumpy mouse cursors are caused by mechanical or software-based issues, and the cause of an erratic cursor may be different depending on the hardware being used. Trackpads work through a process called coupling capacitance, whereby two layers of electrodes in the trackpad monitor the change in capacitance as a finger or stylus moves across its surface. For the trackpad to function properly, it needs complete contact with the fingers controlling it. To fix an erratic trackpad, users should clean the trackpad and their hands to remove any grime, skin oils or lotions."

Very cheap switches are extremely fast and efficient even though they don't have powerful CPUs. That's because they do all of their important switching functions with dedicated hardware. By contrast, typical home routers do all their routing functions in software. This means that they either have to have fast CPUs (high cost, lots of power used) or performance will suffer. Hardware NAT is a way to accelerate NAT routing functions with hardware so that the CPU doesn't have to process the bulk of the routed traffic. There were some reports that disabling this increased the wired connection speeds with this off."

Moreover, this fruit can also bring many advantages to people’s well-beings due to its nutrition. One of the most striking guava nutrition facts is its particularly high amount of vitamins A and C. The content of vitamin C in a guava is 4 times as much as that of an orange. Meanwhile, in terms of vitamin A, guava exceeds a lemon by 10 times. Other interesting guava nutrition facts is the presence of minerals, such as phosphorus, potassium, or iron.

"text": "What is Amaretto? February 4, 2011 , Jodel X , Leave a comment What is Amaretto? Amaretto is a type of liquor originated from Italy. In other words, Amaretto is an Italian liquor characterized by a bittersweet taste with a twist of almond flavor. The liquor is made from almond or apricot pits which is used as base for making the wine. The liquor’s name was originated from an Italian word amaro, which means bitter, although the bitterness was palatable. To neutralize the bitterness of the wine, it is enhanced by adding sweeteners like the sweet almonds. The word or the name Amaretto can be considered to be describing the taste of the wine itself, which is a little bitter. However, people should not be confused that Amaretto is not the same as Amaro. Amaro is a different family of liquors made in Italy."

First, I look for coffee that is not burnt, either in the roasting process or during brewing. The taste of burn coffee is a sharp, acrid sourness. If coffee has been burnt in the roasting process, there's really not much left to taste. Good coffee should be sweet. Usually either fruity (bright and acidic, but in a good way, not a sour way) or chocolatey (sweet in a darker, more complex way than the fruity sweetness). Bitterness is always present in coffee, but it should be pleasant, not overwhelming or nasty. I don't have as much to add about the smell."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A dehorned dairy cow in New Zealand Dehorning is the process of removing the fully grown horns of livestock. Cattle, sheep, and goats are sometimes dehorned [1] [2] for economic and safety reasons. Disbudding is a different process with similar results; it cauterizes and thus destroys horn buds before they have grown into horns. Disbudding is commonly performed early in an animal's life, as are other procedures such as docking and castration. Many breeds of cattle and sheep are naturally hornless. The polled gene can occur naturally in particular breeds or easily manipulated during breeding to lack horns, therefore do not need to be dehorned or disbud. Although polling is common among cattle and sheep, a variety of livestock species cannot easily be bred to lack horns naturally. In one case, the poll gene in goats was linked to hermaphrodism in a single study several decades ago, although fertile polled goats have been bred. [ citation needed]Horns are removed because they can pose a risk to humans, other animals and to the bearers of the horns themselves (horns are sometimes caught in fences or prevent feeding). Dehorning is normally performed with local anesthesia and sedation by a veterinarian or a trained professional."

It is a multifactorial disease caused by a range of organisms including viruses, bacteria and mycoplasmas. Environmental factors are also extremely crucial in managing the disease. Calf pneumonia can potentially be a significant economic burden to a farm, due to the costs of treatment, mortalities, reduced growth rates, additional labour and housing requirements ( Andrews, 2000; van der Fels-Klerx et al., 2001 ). Respiratory diseases in young animals were ranked very low in importance in a survey of British organic beef and dairy farmers ( Roderick and Hovi, 1999 ). Late weaning, a whole milk diet, the requirement for good housing standards and a closed herd policy reduce the risk factors for respiratory disease in calves. Enzootic pneumonia in young calves is a multifactorial disease that occurs mainly in two different systems: In housed dairy calves reared for replacement In housed calves reared for beef either in the herd of origin ( Assié et al., 2004 ), or after sale to a finisher.

Not only do they provide milk, cheese, ice cream, cottage cheese, and meat, but they also give us manure for our gardens and provide entertainment, too. They’re smaller and easier to handle than cows, eat less, and they really like people. When our goats occasionally get out they don’t run away down the road looking for more cows—we’re more apt to find them up on the porch, peering in the windows, wondering when we’ll come out to take them for a walk. Because they are such a beneficial animal on the homestead, I’ve always kept them. At one time I had a commercial dairy, milking nearly a hundred does and selling milk to a cheese plant. Now days I’ve cut back to what is enjoyable for me. I have two adult does, three doe kids, our pet wether, Oreo, and a big Boer buck. In order to keep a supply of milk, I breed my does to freshen at different times. In order to have a doe milking, she must be bred and freshen (give birth)."

"text": "Disbudding and Dehorning. What's the Difference? Although “dehorning” is the term generally applied to horn removal in cattle of all ages, a distinction can be made based on the stage of horn growth. Disbudding Disbudding involves the removal of horn-producing cells in calves less than two months of age. At this stage, horn buds are still free-floating and not yet attached to the frontal bone of the skull. Disbudding by caustic paste or hot-iron destroys horn-producing cells in the horn bud. Horn buds can also be physically excised using a knife or tube/cup/spoon. Disbudding is the preferred method of horn removal by the American Veterinary Medical Association, which also recommends the procedure be performed at the earliest age practicable. Dehorning Dehorning involves cutting out horns and horn-producing tissue after they have formed from the horn bud and attached to the skull. This occurs when the calf is around two months of age."

They come in a dazzling array of colors - reds, pinks, yellows, oranges, lavenders -- that complement just about any garden setting. Unlike the varieties that grandma used to grow, today's dahlias boast much more refined growth habits, with stronger stems and more proportionately sized folliage to better withstand rain and wind. Although dahlias are native to the highland areas of Mexico and Central America, they are particularly fond of our cool-summer Northwest Coast climate in Washington State, and it's easy for anyone to grow them to perfection with very little care. As members of the Puget Sound Dahlia Association, the largest local group of dahlia growers and admirers in the United States, we'd be delilghted to share with you our knowledge and enthusiasm for these glorious flowers. Planning The Garden Planting Procedure Summer Care Watering Topping Disbudding Spraying Weeding Cutting The Flowers Digging and Storing Planning The Garden Location: The ideal location for dahlias is one in full sun; however the plants will tolerate some shade.

Small dahlias can be intermixed with other plants or used as borders. If you want to cut lots of blooms you should plan for easy access to all sides of the plants. SELECTING YOUR SITE Dahlias will grow in nearly any soil as long as you have 12”-14” of tillable depth. If your soil is shallow or rocky, build raised beds to increase the rooting depth.

The horns on a goat serve different purposes of which you should be aware. First, horns act in such a way that they provide cooling to the goat in hot weather. Second, horns also provide an added defense against various predators as well as other goats. Third, a goat uses its horns in such a way that it can \"\"get to that itch\"\" on their sides. But perhaps most important for those of us who raise goats, horns can also be the cause of much pain and grief in your life as well as the goats.

Intact bucklings should be weaned at three months of age to keep them from breeding their dams, sisters, or other females in the herd. Doelings can stay with their dams for a longer period of time. My experience is that doelings grow better if they are removed from their dams no later than four to six months of age. Dams can then re-gain body condition in anticipation of their next breeding. While some producers believe that it is better to leave the weaned kids in a familiar location and move the dams, space limitations on most goat ranches usually determine pen/pasture assignments. The weaning regimen at Onion Creek Ranch is as follows: All kids are dewormed, have received their first and second CD/T and pneumonia vaccinations, and have had all eartagging completed before weaning. See my article titled Deworming and Vaccination Schedules on the Articles page of www.tennesseemeatgoats.com and in the Meat Goat Mania archives.

Definitions and Acronyms1.34.1 Definitions and Acronyms1.34.1.1 (06-23-2009)Overview This IRM provides definitions for terms and acronyms used in Revenue Financial Management (RFM). The definitions may be modified when relevant terms are updated by issuances from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Financial Management Service (FMS) Treasury, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB). The Office of Revenue Reporting, Revenue Financial Management (IFM), under the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), develops and maintains this IRM.1.34.1.2 (06-23-2009)Definitions Abatements are reductions in tax assessments and are a normal part of the IRS tax administration process. Abatements may occur for a number of reasons. For example, a taxpayer may file an amended return claiming a lower tax liability than previously reported or a qualifying corporation may claim a net operating loss which created a credit that can be carried back to reduce a prior year’s tax liability. Accrual Accounting is the accounting basis whereby transactions and events are recognized when they occur, regardless of when cash is received or paid Adjusted Trial-Balance (ATB) is a list of U. S.

"text": "Bookkeeping 101: Debits and Credits Michael Sack Elmaleh, C. P. A., C. V. A. Accounting ends with score keeping but begins with record keeping. The first task of accounting is to accurately record transactions. Transactions are events that change the composition of a firm’s assets, liabilities, and equity. Books of Original Entry Transactions are typically first recorded in specialized records called books of original entry. The most commonly used of these are the cash receipts and cash disbursements journals. These can be actual books or registers or virtual as in accounting software. Click here for an example of a cash disbursements journal. The most accurate and reliable method of record keeping utilizes computer software to create and print checks. Such software automatically stores a complete record of the transaction as checks are generated. The information captured from a recorded transaction is more important than the form used in recording it."

The trustee is entitled to a certain amount of fees for overseeing your bankruptcy. How the trustee is gets paid depends on the type of bankruptcy you file. ( Learn more about the role of the Chapter 7 trustee and the Chapter 13 trustee . ) How Are Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Trustees Paid? Chapter 7 bankruptcy is referred to as a liquidation bankruptcy because the trustee pays your creditors by selling your nonexempt property (if you have any).

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Business & Finance Personal Finance Money Management Banking What is the meaning of imprest account? Flag What is the meaning of imprest account? Answer by The banshee Confidence votes 1.4KAn imprest account is one that always has the same balance; an exact amount of cash in deposited into the account for a known specific future purpose (such as an upcoming payroll), and the same amount leaves the account when the funds for that purpose are expended. The best example is Petty Cash. To start a Petty Cash fund, a firm initially writes and cashes a check for $250 (Dr. Petty Cash, Cr. Operating Account Cash), and puts the $250 cash in the office Petty Cash box. When a small purchase is made by an employee for the office (for stamps, etc), the employee is reimbursed from the Petty Cash box, and puts her receipt for the amount she was reimbursed in the Petty Cash box. The total in the box, between cash and receipts, is always $250. When the amount of petty cash left on hand in the office gets low and the Petty Cash funds must be replenished, the company writes and cashes a check for an amount equal to the total of all the receipts in the box, debiting the appropriate expense accounts and crediting Operating Account Cash. Cash in the amount of the check goes into the Petty Cash box, to bring the total Petty Cash back up to $250."

What Is the Treasury Offset Program? The Treasury Offset Program is a centralized offset program, administered by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service's Debt Management Services (DMS), to collect delinquent debts owed to federal agencies and states (including past-due child support), in accordance with 26 U. S. C. § 6402 (d) (collection of debts owed to federal agencies), 31 U. S. C. § 3720A (reduction of tax refund by amount of the debts), and other applicable laws. How Does TOP Work? Fiscal Service disburses federal payments, such as federal tax refunds, for agencies making federal payments (known as \"\"payment agencies\"\"), such as the Internal Revenue Service. \"\" Creditor agencies,\"\" such as the Department of Education, submit delinquent debts to the Fiscal Service for collection and inclusion in TOP and certify that such debts qualify for collection by offset (the reduction or withholding of a payment). Payment agencies prepare and certify payment vouchers to Fiscal Service and disbursing officials at other federal agencies that are non-Treasury disbursed (such as the Department of Defense), who then disburse payments. The payment vouchers contain information about the payment including the Tax Identification Number (TIN) and name of the recipient."

For help or guidance please seek the services of a qualified practitioner. The role of the COFAEvery firm must have appointed a Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration (COFA). The COFA has two key responsibilities:to ensure compliance with the SRA’s Accounts Rules (SAR); andto record and report failures to comply. Most, if not all, SRA authorised firms will have accounting systems in place which are designed to ensure compliance with the SAR. These systems are tested annually as a result of the need for an accountant’s report. Those responsible for the day-to-day administration of client accounts are likely to be familiar with the SAR. However, many of the compliance procedures are dependent upon correct and timely information from fee-earners (who may not be familiar with the detail in the SAR). Further, since COFAs must record all breaches of the SAR, an internal system of reporting breaches must be adopted and fee-earners must be able to recognise such breaches in order to report to the COFA.

The following legal summaries are not intended as legal advice and should not be relied on as such. They are intended only as an introduction to the way that the law functions in these areas. Separation and Divorce in Ohio Legal Separation in Ohio The term “separation” may refer to either an informal separation or a “legal separation.” In Ohio, neither an informal separation nor a legal separation is necessary if spouses are planning on divorcing. Legal Separation in Ohio is a civil lawsuit that does not legally terminate the parties' marriage in the same way that a divorce would. In a legal separation suit, orders concerning property division, spousal support, child support, and allocation of parental rights and responsibilities (custody and visitation) could be issued in the same way in a divorce action."

The volumes of five excised porcine kidneys were measured by ( 1) disc-summation method, ( 2) ellipsoid formula, and ( 3) water displacement method. In a retrospective, consecutive group of clinically referred patients ( n = 150; 300 kidneys), individual kidney volume and length were calculated by the disc-summation method and by multiplanar reformation of MRI data, respectively. For comparison, kidney volumes also were calculated using the ellipsoid formula in all patients. Renal volume that was obtained by MRI using the disc-summation method was within 5% of the volume that was determined by the water displacement method, independent of the spatial resolution of the MRI technique used. Data from both the in vivo and the ex vivo models revealed that the ellipsoid formula that commonly is used in ultrasonography underestimates renal volume by 17 to 29% compared with the disc-summation method ( P < 0.05). As measured by MRI (mean ± SD), kidney lengths were 12.4 ± 0.9 cm for men and 11.6 ± 1.1 cm for women, and kidney volumes were 202 ± 36 ml for men and 154 ± 33 ml for women. The results from the ex vivo MRI study show that the kidney volume that was obtained using the disc-summation method is within 5% of the true kidney volume as measured by the water displacement method. The ellipsoid formula consistently and significantly underestimates the true kidney volume."

"text": "Back Surgery Complications (Part Four) – Hardware Fracture and Implant Migration Non-union of bone grafts put more pressure on hardware which may, then. fail. Blood clots, infections, lung problems – these are not the only types of complications after back surgery. Sometimes, the hardware put in place to stabilize the spine fails, moves around or causes a severe reaction in the body. While it is not always necessary to remove hardware if infection occurs after back surgery it may require additional surgery if a metal plate, screw, rod or other device fails, breaks or migrates. Spinal Fusion Problems Spinal fusion surgeries often make use of metal cages to stabilize the spine and hold a bone graft in place, as well as using titanium screws and rods to keep things fixed and rigid as the bones fuse together. Moving too quickly or twisting abnormally after back surgery can lead to abrupt trauma and the snapping or failure of hardware, as can manufacturing faults or problems with how the hardware has been affixed. Such complications are rare but can have severe consequences. Removing and Replacing Faulty Hardware Not only does hardware failure prevent proper healing of the bones after a spinal fusion procedure, it may also necessitate a further back surgery with all the additional risks of infection, breathing problems, deep vein thrombosis and other issues we have so far covered in this mini-series. Once the bones have healed after a successful surgery, the hardware is usually redundant but does not, in such cases, require removal."

Keller Williams says it has more agents than any other franchisor in North America: 109,000. Those agents have been with Keller Williams an average of 3.5 years. According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2014 Member Profile, this is slightly lower than the median tenure for agents overall in their current firm — four years — but the difference may be attributed to Keller Williams’ rapid growth rate: The franchisor has gained more than 30,000 agents, net, since 2012. Those agents were not chosen willy-nilly. The vast majority have gone through a systematic recruiting process that Keller Williams calls “ Recruit Select .” Lead agents and other managers take a two-day course to learn to implement the process, which begins with managers taking inventory of their business, where they want it to go, and the people they need to bring in to get them there, according to John Davis, Keller Williams’ vice president of growth."

This may begin by filling out a written form that asks you a number of questions relating to your pain. The more information you share with the provider, the easier your problem will be to diagnose. Your physical history is important because it helps your doctor understand: when the pain began, anything that could have caused an injury, your lifestyle, physical factors that might be causing the pain, and your family history of similar problems. After reading through your written history, your physician will ask more questions that relate to the information you have given. Some typical questions include: When did the pain begin?

"text": "James C. Tsai, MD, New York City Published 15 June 2005How to Evaluate the Suspicious Optic Disc Though intraocular pressure is still a valuable measurement in a glaucoma exam, the optic nerve’s appearance can be just as vital. Traditionally, ophthalmologists have relied on intraocular pressure measurements to guide them in assessing patients for the diagnosis of glaucoma. While IOP is certainly an important—if not the most important—risk factor for glaucoma, well-conducted studies worldwide have concluded that significant numbers of patients may have primary open-angle glaucoma without documented high IOP. Therefore, the thorough and careful optic-nerve evaluation I'll discuss in this article is essential in evaluating patients for glaucoma. IOP: Just a Piece of the Puzzle While IOP is a crucial component of the comprehensive eye exam, I exercise caution in focusing on it alone for the diagnosis of glaucoma. Several population-based studies suggest that one-third or more of patients diagnosed with glaucoma in the community will present without elevated IOP levels. 1-3 In fact, the recently completed epidemiologic study in Tajimi City, Japan noted that IOP was 21 mm Hg or less in 92 percent of patients identified with POAG. 1 In a population-based cross-sectional study (a cluster-stratified random sample of 4,774 subjects), researchers identified 35 previously undiagnosed individuals with glaucoma who had visited either an optometrist or ophthalmologist or both in the previous year. 4 The authors concluded that raised IOP should not be relied upon as the only initiating factor for glaucoma evaluation. Focusing on the Nerve After measuring the IOP and evaluating the angle (and performing gonioscopy, if indicated), I proceed to the optic-nerve exam."

It is an eco-toxicological tool that approaches community tolerance to pollution from a holistic stand point. Community Tolerance can increase in one of three ways: physical adaptations or phenotypic plasticity, selection of favorable genotypes, and the replacement of sensitive species by tolerant species in a community. PICT differs from the Population Tolerance Approach to Community Tolerance in that it can be easily applied to any ecosystem and it is not critical to use a representative test organism, as with the Population Tolerance Approach. Contents [ hide ]1 Community Tolerance2 Field Studies3 Lab Studies4 References Community Tolerance [ edit]Community tolerance can be used as indicator for determining if a toxicant has a disturbance on an exposed community for multiple types of organisms. [ 1] Tolerance of a toxicant can increase by three ways; physiological adaptation also known as the phenotypic plasticity of an individual, tolerant genotypes selected within a population over time, and the replacement of species with more tolerant ones within a community. [ 2] Physiological adaptation, or phenotypic plasticity, is the ability of an individual organism to change its phenotype in response to changes in the environment. [ 3] This can occur with huge variance between the type of organism and the type of the disturbance they experience. Natural selection that occurs over several generations causes an entire population to exhibit specific selection of genotypes.

"text": "Develop Your Sport Coaching Philosophy By Bo Hanson – 4x Olympian, Coaching Consultant & Director of Athlete Assessments Defining a Sport Coaching Philosophy is as critical for sports Coaches as it is for business and industry leaders to define their leadership philosophy. Its key for successful coaching. But understanding and developing your Coaching Philosophy is an often overlooked exercise. In this article we discuss what a Sport Coaching Philosophy is, who should develop one, and why you should develop your Sport Coaching Philosophy. We have created the Coaching Philosophy Workbook for Coaches to use to discover their own Sport Coaching Philosophy. What is A Sport Coaching Philosophy? Our definition of a Sport Coaching Philosophy is a set of values, governing principles and beliefs which determine why you do what you do and how you behave in the context of your coaching role. The fundamentals of a meaningful Sport Coaching Philosophy should contain the ideal of “Why do I Coach?” Essentially all Coaches utilize a Coaching Philosophy. However its form may vary from a subconscious instinctual understanding, to a refined and recorded document."

On April 27, 2010, thousands of high school students across New Jersey walked out of their schools to protest budget cuts for secondary education. The mass protest began with a single Facebook page, “Protest NJ Education Cuts—State Wide School Walk Out,” set up by Michelle Ryan Lauto, a first-year student at Pace University, who had graduated a year earlier from a state high school. Her Facebook site quickly attracted 18,000 members as word spread about the walkout. Students used Facebook to discuss news media contacts and other strategies for their protests, and Lauto logged on to tell everyone to keep their walkouts and rallies peaceful. In Newark, New Jersey, students also tweeted and texted to make sure that their citywide walkouts all occurred at the same time. Lauto recognized how much Facebook and other social media had helped the students’ cause: “You can use these social networking tools for very positive things—it’s not just about kids putting up photos from their weekend party.” She added, “All I did was make a Facebook page. Anyone who has an opinion could do that and have their opinion heard. I would love to see kids in high school step up and start their own protests and change things in their own way.” ("

"text": "author Q & AWhy Will China Collapse? China’s political and economic system is unsustainable in a modern world. Mao Zedong, the founder of the People’s Republic, built an abnormal society and then isolated it from all others. His system could survive as long as China was kept apart from the rest of the world, but Mao’s successors have sought to open the People’s Republic to the outside. As the country becomes more integrated with other nations, the same forces that apply around the globe—political, economic, and social—also affect China. At some point in this process Mao’s abnormal system will give way because it is fundamentally incompatible with the role that China now seeks to occupy in the international system. Soon, the Chinese government will not be able to meet the challenges posed by an open and dynamic society. What do you mean by “collapse”? After the collapse there will be a new form of government and the Communist Party will no longer be in power. There will, of course, always be a China—but not one that is communist."

This means that the time of unhappiness will soon end. Summer of discontent may mean that unhappiness is at its highest.1st December 2005Vorpar From http://volokh.powerblogs.com/posts/1111601690.shtml#1571Another Shakespeare quote, this from Richard II's opening lines: \"\"Now is the winter of our discontent\"\" is often used to describe current times as bad times, in particular a rough winter. But the fuller quote reveals that the bad times are over: \"\"Now is the winter of our discontent/ Made glorious summer by this son of York; / And all the clouds that lour'd upon our homes / In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.\"\" In context, the winter of discontent is in the past and has been transformed into a glorious summer, with dark clouds buried in the ocean. Moreover, you could argue that this counts as a double reverse misleading quote, for as Richard goes on he explains that although these are happy, celebratory times for his fellow members of the House of York, he does not personally share their joy and the \"\"glorious summer.\"\" Apparently it the original phrase Shakespeare quoted was \"\"the winter of discontent.\"\" I guess the summer of discontent just means you've had a dissapointing summer. I think people say this since usually summer is the time when people have a high expection of something good happening, especially related to love and romance.1st December 2005Danyoo Students: Are you brave enough to let our tutors analyse your pronunciation?"

"text": "\"HIND SWARAJ, the title of the first definitive writing of Mahatma Gandhi, and which continues to evoke critical interest the world over even now, literally means ‘self-rule in India’. This small book of about 30,000 words was written in Gujarat in November 1909 on board the ship during Gandhi's return trip from England to South Africa after an abortive mission, within 10 days, 40 of the 275 pages being written with left hand. As stated by Gandhiji himself: \"\"I wrote the entire Hind Swaraj for my dear friend Dr. Pranjivan Mehta. All the argument in the book is reproduced almost as it took place with him.\"\" [ CWMG 71: 238] It was published in the Indian Opinion in Natal and was soon banned by Government in India because it contained 'matter declared to be seditious'. On that, Gandhi published the English translation from Natal to show the innocuous nature of its contents. The ban was finally lifted on 21 December 1938. A number of editions have been published thereafter, the most common being that published by Navjivan press in India in 1938 with the title 'Hind Swaraj: the Indian Home Rule'. In 1924, an American edition, called 'Sermon on the Sea', (Intro. by John Haynes Holmes) was published from Chicago."

Let’s breakdown these 7 chakra bracelet benefits and explain what is does and why your chakras need to be open and balanced!The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to “wheel”. In yoga and meditation this is referring to the wheels throughout your body that transform into energy, throughout your entire body. There are seven main chakras that align the spine and begin at the base of your spine and go all the way up through the crown of your head. Each of your seven chakras contains bundles of nerves and major organs as well as many psychological, emotional and spiritual states of being. It is extremely important to keep your chakras open and aligned to prevent and encourage a proper energy flow. It can be a bit difficult to keep a chakra open at first, but not so difficult when you have the awareness to keep it open. That is where our 7 Chakra Healing Lava Bracelet comes into play. Each of the colored stones represents a different chakra and you can use the bracelet to channel your focus into keeping your chakras open and healthy. Your mind, body, and soul are all connected in a beautiful circular manner and having awareness of each chakra can help heal imbalances in one area of the body and bring all of the others back into balance.7 chakras quiet meditation Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available."

It allows you to explore more about your feelings and about the way you connect to the others and to the world. An important note about the Cups Tarot symbolism is that they are not the only cards that deal with emotions. They are the ones directly linked to the heart and to specific feelings such as love, bliss, melancholy, sorrow. When it comes to romantic life, than Cups definitely play an important role in the reading. However, other suits also deal indirectly with emotions and feelings: Wands are about passion, Pentacles are more rooted into the ground and Swords usually indicate the presence of various types of anxieties. Coming back to Cups, they are part of the Minor Arcana, their corresponding natural element is water and the associated season is autumn and they represent the west. The Positive and Negative Tarot Meanings of Cups If you think about Cups positive meanings, consider openness, spontaneity, being in-touch with your feelings and with those around you."

"text": "Sanatana-Dharma: Its Real Meaning By Stephen Knapp When it comes to understanding the meaning of Sanatana-dharma, we have to be aware of its Sanskrit definition. The root of the word dharma comes from dhri, which means to uphold or maintain. The Sanskrit says dharayati iti dharmaha, which translates as dharma is that which upholds. However, not only what is supported is dharma, but that which does the supporting is also dharma, dhriyate iti dharmaha. So dharma consists of both the force that sustains as well as what is sustained. It can also be said that there is the path of dharma as well as its conclusion, the object of dharma, or what we are seeking, the goal of life. So dharma is the means as well as the goal. Dharma is also said to be the force which maintains the universe. Where there is dharma there is harmony and balance individually, socially, and inter-galactically. So the path of dharma brings about the harmony and contentment that is also another aspect of what we are seeking."

"text": "\"Section Navigation Home Study Guides Civilization and Its Discontents Civilization and Its Discontents Summary Civilization and Its Discontentsby Sigmund Freud Buy Study Guide Civilization and Its Discontents Summary In the introductory paragraphs, Freud attempts to understand the spiritual phenomenon of a so-called \"\"oceanic\"\" feeling - the sense of boundlessness and oneness felt between the ego and the outside world. This feeling is \"\"a purely subjective fact, not an article of faith.\"\" It does not betoken an allegiance to a specific religion, but instead points to the source of religious sentiment in human beings. Churches and religious institutions are adept at channeling this sentiment into particular belief systems, but they do not themselves create it. In general, the ego perceives itself as maintaining \"\"sharp and clear lines of demarcation\"\" with the outside world. This distinction between inside and outside is a crucial part of the process of psychological development, allowing the ego to recognize a \"\"reality\"\" separate from itself. After summarizing his previous research, Freud returns to the question of \"\"oceanic\"\" feeling, finding it unconvincing as an explanation of the source of religious sentiment in human beings. Instead, according to Freud, it is a longing for paternal protection in childhood that continues into adult life as a sustained \"\"fear of the superior power of Fate. \"\" In Future of an Illusion, Freud lamented the common man's preoccupation with the \"\"enormously exalted father\"\" embodied by God. The idea of placating a supposedly higher being for future recompense seems utterly infantile and absurd."

In this, we study about objects, set and graphs. The set of objects studied in discrete mathematics can be finite or infinite. It is an excellent tool for improving reasoning and problem-solving skills, and is appropriate for students at all levels and of all abilities. Before studying discrete mathematics, you must have knowledge of the following parameters. Matrix: In matrix, we can put any type of object in a rectangular box. These entries can be real or complex. The entries we are doing are called element of matrix. Permutation and Combination: Permutation of an object is the number of different arrangements that can be made with a given number of set. It is mainly used for small numbers."

"text": "KS1 and KS2 Maths – number lines Main Subject: CPDSubject: Maths Author: Mike Askew Share: Send to Kindle In his new series, professor Mike Askew shows how children’s understanding will come on leaps and bounds if they can make connections between important mathematical concepts... We know that learning mathematics is more powerful, deep and lasting when children make connections between different mathematical ideas. For example, place value is commonly taught as an additive process – exchanging 10 units for one ten, and 10 tens for one hundred. But thinking of place value as a multiplicative process – scaling up the unit by a factor of 10, and then scaling up the ten by a factor of 10 again to make a hundred – is a big idea. Why is this a big idea? Well, for one reason, decimals take on a whole new meaning. Rather than being seen as a type of fraction, decimals come to be understood as an extension of the place value system. A hundred can be scaled down (shrunk) to one tenth of its size, giving a ten. This in turn is shrunk to one tenth of its size, becoming a one (or a unit if you prefer). There is no need to stop this shrinking process at this point; the one can be shrunk to one tenth of its size, giving rise to the first decimal place, and that in turn can be shrunk to one tenth of its size, giving a hundredth, and so on. Thinking of place value as enlarging and shrinking (as opposed to adding and separating) is what I mean by a ‘big idea’."

When Calculus is first taught it is mostly about calculation; much like how mathematics has been taught through high school. The question asks if there is a math subject harder than calculus. The answer is two fold. There is an unlimited amount of mathematics that comes afterwards, and difficulty depends on the person and subject matter. It may be that you find abstract concepts difficult, in which case you can always find a field of math more abstract. Topology and its branches are typically given as examples of this. Perhaps it is the creativity and determination required for proofs. Most people don’t encounter proofs outside of a section in geometry and parts of calculus. Once you take an introductory analysis course, or an abstract algebra course, or a linear algebra course you will have plenty of time to practice here."

It is the number of elements in any member of the equivalence class. An Ordinal number represents an equivalence class of well-ordered sets between which there is an order-preserving bijection. It is the number of elements in any member of the equivalence class. The difference is only in whether the sets are ordered. Every finite set can be well ordered simply by counting its elements and labelling the elements with the count. The count provides an order-preserving bijection between any two finite sets of the same cardinality. A finite ordinal is therefore essentially equivalent to a finite cardinal, although we sometimes distinguish the two in the same way that English distinguishes “five” from “fifth” since the latter word implies an order.

To give a practical view, we all know that stealing is wrong and those who do it ought to be punished. However if a starving man steals a loaf of bread to feed his children, rather than throwing him in jail, it might be more appropriate to sentence him to community service or have him work off the value of what he stole at the shop he stole it from. The same goes for a kid that steals a piece of candy from the convenience store, you don't throw the kid in jail even though that's the punishment the law dictates for theft, you take the kid in, have them apologize to the shopkeeper, give back the candy, ask if they can work it off and ground the kid for a couple of weeks. Other examples of this kind of mindset would be \"\"white lies\"\", where it's better to tell someone something that's not true than cause them unnecessary emotional distress. Like a friend has to get a biopsy for a cancer screening. You tell them you're \"\"sure it's nothing\"\" when you actually don't know. You tell them \"\"everything'll be fine\"\" when you have no way to confirm that. In that instance they need emotional support more than they need the cold hard facts. The same goes for knowing when to break a promise of secrecy."

However, if differential equations are new to you, there may be a slight learning curve in the understanding/interpretation of solutions to them. To some degree, it can feel odd doing exercises that don't actually return a definite solution (at least, it sorta did to me). In any case, you may find it helpful to kind of discretize between the types of solutions you can expect to achieve in studying differential equations. The general solution is simply that solution which you achieve by solving a differential equation in the absence of any initial conditions. The last clause is critical: it is precisely because of the lack of initial conditions that only a general solution can be computed. Initial conditions simply define a datum or (more often) several data that provide exact constraints upon the general solution so as to specify the exact, or particular solution, intended from among a possibly infinite number encoded by the general solution alone. For example, some arbitrary second-order ODE might have as initial conditions [math] [math]y\\left (0\\right)=1 [/math] and [math]y^ {\\prime}\\left (0\\right)=2 [/math] [/math]. The numbers are irrelevant; it's just to help you to know how to recognize when you should be looking for a particular solution as opposed to a general one. And, of course, it goes to say that the particular solution is necessarily contained within the general one. ( Just, without initial conditions — which really just serve as ordered pairs for later in the solution — we have no other method of figuring out the particular from the general)."

"text": "Related Topics: More Lessons for Statistics, Math Worksheets What is mode, median and mean? In statistics, mode, median and mean are typical values to represent a pool of numerical observations. They are calculated from the pool of observations. Mode is the most common value among the given observations. For example, a person who sells ice creams might want to know which flavour is the most popular. Median is the middle value, dividing the number of data into 2 halves. In other words, 50% of the observations is below the median and 50% of the observations is above the median. Mean is the average of all the values. For example, a teacher may want to know the average marks of a test in his class. The following diagrams show how to find the mean, median, mode and range."

It may be practised upon human beings as a form of capital punishment, as a result of a traumatic accident, or in connection with murder, suicide, or cannibalism. As opposed to surgical amputation of the limbs, dismemberment is often fatal to all but the simplest of creatures. In criminology, a distinction is made between offensive and defensive dismemberment.

Contributors: Allen Brizee, J. Case Tompkins, Libby Chernouski, Elizabeth Boyle, Sebastian Williams Last Edited: 2018-02-07 03:21:05Note: Structuralism, semiotics, and post-structuralism are some of the most complex literary theories to understand. Please be patient. The Center Cannot Hold This approach concerns itself with the ways and places where systems, frameworks, definitions, and certainties break down. Post-structuralism maintains that frameworks and systems, for example the structuralist systems explained in the structuralist area, are merely fictitious constructs and that they cannot be trusted to develop meaning or to give order. In fact, the very act of seeking order or a singular Truth (with a capital T) is absurd because there exists no unified truth. Post-structuralism holds that there are many truths, that frameworks must bleed, and that structures must become unstable or decentered. Moreover, post-structuralism is also concerned with the power structures or hegemonies and power and how these elements contribute to and/or maintain structures to enforce hierarchy. Therefore, post-structural theory carries implications far beyond literary criticism. What Does Your Meaning Mean?"

Term life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, or AD&D, are two very different types of policies. Knowing the difference is crucial to buying the right coverage for your needs. Comparing term life vs. AD&D: Payouts Term life AD&DDeath due to illness or disease Yes No Death from an accident, like a car or plane crash Yes Yes Death from drug overdose Yes No Death from drunken driving (by the insured) Yes No Death from suicide Yes (if beyond the time period of a \"\"suicide clause,\"\" usually two years) No Loss of eyesight, hearing or a limb No Partial payment Policy details can vary. It's important to understand what you're buying. Term life insurance Term life insurance is basic coverage that pays out if you die within a specific time period, regardless of the cause of death. It will pay out whether you die of an illness, accident or other cause. The only exception is suicide, which is usually not covered within the first two years of owning the policy. ( Your policy will have the exact details. ) If you want to ensure your family gets a life insurance payout if you die, choose life insurance, not AD&D. If you want to ensure your family gets a life insurance payout after your death, choose life insurance, not AD&D. With term life insurance, you choose the amount of coverage and the policy length."

Despite the continual bombardment of claims to the contrary, abortion is barely restricted in the United States. In the huge majority of states, abortion is legal until the very moment of birth. The ban on partial birth abortion did not end late term abortion; it merely stopped one form of it. Several states have passed “fetal pain laws,” banning abortion when the preborn baby conclusively feels pain. Other states are passing “dismemberment bans,” banning a certain popular form of abortion that literally tears babies apart, limb by limb, piece by piece. Still other states have attempted to pass heartbeat bills, banning abortion once the baby’s heartbeat begins, 22 days after fertilization. ( You can watch it here . ) And yet, what our nation so desperately needs is the simple, basic recognition that, from the very moment of creation, every new human being deserves the right to life. The experience of pain does not make us any more alive."

Families can come under a lot of strain if a loved one is hurt, disabled, or killed in an accident. Accidental death and dismemberment insurance is there to make sure individuals and families are protected if an accident severely impacts their ability to function financially. This type of insurance covers policyholders for accidents resulting in death, disability, or dismemberment. These accidents can include accidental drug overdoses, falls, auto accidents, and more. Most people might think that AD&D insurance is covered under their general life insurance policy, but AD&D insurance is typically a supplemental insurance policy added to existing life insurance. Accidental Deaths in the United States Are on the Rise According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the leading cause of accidental deaths for people under 25 is motor vehicle accidents, which often involve young drivers texting or talking on hands-free devices. Alcohol is another major cause of erratic driver behavior behind the wheel, increasing the risk of accidental death on the road for themselves and others."

Answer by Roibeaird WA Confidence votes 13.4KDismissed without prejudice for want of prosecution means that a court is dismissing someone's lawsuit because that person is not doing what needs to be done to further the lawsuit along according to the court's rules. Litigants are required to take certain actions to advance the lawsuit to trial. The term \"\"want of prosecution\"\" means the plaintiff is not doing anything he is supposed to be doing, like answering interrogatories, appearing for depositions and answering trial calls.

"text": "\"What Happens After Criminal Charges Are Filed By Aaron Larson | Law Offices of Aaron Larson Apr 7, 2018After a person is charged with a crime, the case proceeds through a series of court hearings. Before a trial date, hearings may be held to set bail, to formally charge the defendant, to schedule later proceedings, to enter a plea bargain, or to hear motions or resolve other pretrial issues. Contents Arraignment and Bail Hearings Court Proceedings After Arraignment Criminal Discovery Demands Notice of Defenses Locating Defense Witnesses Pretrial Diversion Programs Back to top Arraignment and Bail Hearings The first hearing in a criminal case may involve the setting of bail, the arraignment of the defendant, or both. Bail Hearings If bail or bond was not previously set, a defendant who is in custody will have a bail hearing. The hearing is scheduled as soon as is reasonably possible after the person is charged. Most bail hearings are held within twenty-four hours, but it may take longer to set bail over a weekend or in the event of a court holiday. Some states require that bail be set within forty-eight hours, and under the U. S. constitution the bail hearing must occur within seventy-two hours. Depending upon the charge and the facts of the offense: Bail may be set according to a bail schedule maintained by the court, with specific bail amounts required for offenses listed on the schedule. For more serious offenses or for non-scheduled offenses, a bail hearing may involve a formal hearing, with bail set based upon such factors as the seriousness of the charge, the defendant's prior criminal history, and the defendant's ties to the community, and the court's assessment of whether the defendant will appear in court if released on bond. Sometimes a defendant will be released on his own recognizance – the defendant's promise that he will appear for the next court hearing -- without the requirement of an additional bond."

It is a phrase used in many common lawcriminal prosecution contexts to describe a prosecutor 's decision to voluntarily discontinue criminal charges either before trial or before a verdict is rendered. [ 4] It contrasts with an involuntary dismissal. Contents [ hide ]1 Application in law1.1 Decision-maker1.2 Reason1.3 Timing1.4 Legal effect1.5 Application in civil cases2 Similarity to a declination of prosecution3 Notable cases4 See also5 References6 External resources Application in law [ edit]Nolle prosequi as a declaration is most often used in criminal cases, but in jurisdictions making use of nolle prosequi in civil lawsuits, it is used by a plaintiff that voluntarily drops its claims. In civil cases, a motion for voluntary dismissal may be made by a plaintiff instead of a declaration of nolle prosequi, depending upon the custom and rules of a given jurisdiction. Decision-maker [ edit]Nolle prosequi as a declaration can be made by a prosecutor in a criminal case either before or during trial, resulting in the prosecutor declining to further pursue the case against the defendant. Courts seldom challenge applications for nolle prosequi. In the United States, judges will usually sign a dismissal order prepared by the prosecution or make a docket entry indicating the disposition of the case to be nolle prosse after a declaration or motion by the prosecution. In criminal cases in the United States it has been held improper for a court to enter an order of nolle prosequi on its own, without a motion by the prosecutor, [5] but as to sentencing discrepancies involved in a sentence recommendation, a trial judge is authorized to reject an underlying guilty plea based upon concerns of fairness and justice or because it is presented after the plea cutoff date. [ 6] The notes to Rule 48 of the US Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (FRCRP) draw attention to the effect of the rule as contrasting with common law."

"text": "Bankruptcy Dismissal Most bankruptcy filings are voluntary, and the requirements are few and simple. Hence, most anyone can file for bankruptcy, whether it would be in their or their creditors' best interest or not. However, without the information in the bankruptcy petition, it is not possible to screen petitioners to determine if bankruptcy is the proper remedy. Instead, if there is something wrong with the petition, or if there is evidence of bad faith or abuse of process, or it is evident from the petition filed that bankruptcy would not be the best solution for the petitioner, the court can dismiss the case. The dismissal of a bankruptcy case ends it, including most of the legal consequences of the bankruptcy filing, but without giving the debtor a discharge of his debts. The debtor and his bankruptcy estate are released from bankruptcy, the automatic stay is ended, and the creditors are free to pursue their collection remedies outside of bankruptcy. There are some remedies that provide an alternative to a dismissal of a case, and may be a better option. One alternative is a conversion to another chapter of bankruptcy, which may be more appropriate for the circumstances, or because it is required by law. Abstention is another alternative to dismissal, when the court refuses to take on a case because either it would be unfair or because it would be more appropriate to defer to another court. A dismissal of a bankruptcy case can be sought by the debtor, trustee, creditor, or other party in interest."

Date April 4, 2017Posted by Craig Atkinson Comments 1Facebook Twitter Google+Linked In Clients often call me and tell me the complaining witness (also known as the “alleged victim”) is not “pressing charges.” They say that the complaining witness has even gone so far as to inform the prosecuting attorney that they want to “drop the charges.” “ So…” the client asks me, “If no one is pressing charges, why am I still being charged?”The Myth of Victims Dropping Charges. The myth that an alleged victim can “drop the charges” probably stems from too many crime dramas where a plot twist occurs when the victim “drops the charges”. In Idaho, it is not the “victim” that files the charges. Consequently, it is not the “victim” that “drops the charges. ”Prosecutors File Charges. A complaining witness can file a “complaint” with the proper authorities, such as a police officer."

An action for malicious prosecution is the remedy for baseless and malicious litigation. It is not limited to criminal prosecutions but may be brought in response to any baseless and malicious litigation or prosecution, whether criminal or civil. The criminal defendant or civil respondent in a baseless and malicious case may later file this claim in civil court against the parties who took an active role in initiating or encouraging the original case. The defendant in the initial case becomes the plaintiff in the malicious prosecution suit, and the plaintiff or prosecutor in the original case becomes the defendant. In most states the claim must be filed within a year after the end of the original case. A claim of malicious prosecution is a tort action. A tort action is filed in civil court to recover money damages for certain harm suffered. The plaintiff in a malicious prosecution suit seeks to win money from the respondent as recompense for the various costs associated with having to defend against the baseless and vexatious case. The public policy that supports the action for malicious prosecution is the discouragement of vexatious litigation."

Learn your options for fighting Mississippi speeding tickets and traffic tickets so you can win. Fight Your Ticket in Mississippi Fighting a Speeding Ticket or Traffic Ticket in Mississippi At some point or another most of us are going to get a speeding ticket or other traffic violation, however, contrary to popular belief, you do not just have to suck it up and pay the fine and all the additional insurance expenses that come along with the ticket. Instead, there are multiple ways that you can fight a speeding ticket or fight a traffic ticket that are proven to work to either completely eliminate the ticket or at the very least reduce the fine. Here are some proven methods to fight and beat a speeding ticket or traffic ticket.1. Trial By Written Declaration In some states when you receive a ticket and decide you want to plead not guilty and contest the ticket, you will have two options to do so - you can appear in court to fight the ticket; or you can proceed to trial by written declaration to fight your traffic ticket. Essentially what this means is that rather than appear in court, you decide you will write up an account of your argument against the ticket and send it to the Mississippi court. The officer who pulled you over will do the same and then the judge will make a judgment of guilty, not guilty, or a reduced fine based on the two statements. According to many people, this is a great way to fight a ticket and has a high success rate, especially if you hire a professional organization to write your declaration for you."

Even if a jury of twelve of your peers does not convict you a trial is an emotionally and financially draining and your life is put on display.

Related to double jeopardy: Double Jeopardy Clause Double Jeopardy A second prosecution for the same offense after acquittal or conviction or multiple punishments forsame offense. The evil sought to be avoided by prohibiting double jeopardy is double trial anddouble conviction, not necessarily double punishment. The Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution provides, \"\"No person shall … be subject for thesame offence [ sic] to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.\"\" This provision, known as the Double Jeopardy Clause, prohibits state and federal governments from prosecuting individuals for the samecrime on more than one occasion, or imposing more than one punishment for a single offense. Each of the 50 states offers similar protection through its own constitution, statutes, and Common Law. Five policy considerations underpin the double jeopardy doctrine: (1) preventing the government fromemploying its superior resources to wear down and erroneously convict innocent persons; (2)protecting individuals from the financial, emotional, and social consequences of successiveprosecutions; (3) preserving the finality and integrity of criminal proceedings, which would be compromised were the state allowed to arbitrarily ignore unsatisfactory outcomes; (4) restrictingprosecutorial discretion over the charging process; and (5) eliminating judicial discretion to imposecumulative punishments that the legislature has not authorized. Double jeopardy is one of the oldest legal concepts in Western civilization.

In the prosecution phase, the district attorney takes the case into the courtroom and works to prove that the defendant is guilty of the crimes that have been charged. Before getting into the details of prosecution, it's worth a minute to note that the filing of charges is an important landmark in the case that has special significance for the victim. Here are some advantages for the victim of reaching this critical point. Even if the defendant is never convicted, once charges are filed, those charges, with very few exceptions, will be permanently and publicly on his record. Anyone who looks up his name at the courthouse records office will be able to see that the defendant was charged, along with complete information as to the nature and severity of the charges. This record can be extremely helpful to the victim, and to the community, for years to come, and in all kinds of circumstances. The victim no longer has to rely solely on her own words to show that she has been a victim of a crime or that the named defendant is the likely perpetrator. She now has an official document on the public record that the district attorney, after reviewing the evidence, is convinced that the defendant did the crime (s). Many important courts and institutions will accept the filing of criminal charges as a strong indication that it's likely the defendant did the crime."

I am not going to prejudge this particular DA or any particular police officer, but I have seen innocent people go to prison. So I’m going to evaluate this case fairly, not assuming that the defendant is guilty just because the government says he is or assuming a police officer is telling the truth just because he is a police officer. I’m going to look at all the evidence fairly, and I have no problem with voting guilty if the government actually proves the case. If the DA is fully prepared and has a solid case, I have no problem at all with someone who is guilty being behind bars . But if the DA thinks I am going to just assume that just because someone is being prosecuted, he must be guilty, I will do my duty as a citizen and genuinely presume innocent until proven guilty.”"

David 'Dee' Delgado for The Undefeated Law & Order Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark says criminal justice is more than locking people up The first woman of color to be elected district attorney in New York is working ‘to change minds and hearts’By Kia Gregory November 1, 2017O utside the office of Bronx, New York, District Attorney Darcel Clark, a protest rally for Pedro Hernandez this summer began and closed with prayer. Hernandez, 18, had spent 13 months awaiting trial in Rikers Island prison on questionable weapons charges in the shooting of another teenager because his mother couldn’t afford his $255,000 bond. Eventually, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights group paid a reduced bond of $100,000. Between the prayers for people unjustly locked in the criminal justice system, those gathered at the rally called on Clark to dismiss the shooting charges. Some local politicians and advocates said the situation was painfully reminiscent of the case against Kalief Browder. Browder spent three years on Rikers Island, two of them in solitary confinement, because he was unable to make $10,000 bail after being charged with stealing a backpack as a 15-year-old. That case was eventually dismissed, but it left Browder a broken man who later took his own life. The Browder case has haunted Clark."

Walt Disney World has done a lot in recent years to expand the choice of rides at Epcot. This Disney park is probably the most misunderstood of any of the four theme parks. Each of the others has a strong idea related to it. However, Epcot has often, but unfairly, been seen as the one which is just a little difficult to define. Sure, we know Epcot was based on Walt Disney’s idea of the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. However, somehow the fact that Epcot has some excellent rides and attractions gets a little mixed up along the way. What Are the Rides at Epcot? One of the most innovative, expensive and technologically advanced rides at Epcot, Test Track is also one of the most popular."

"text": "RUMOR: 5th Walt Disney World Theme Park To Be Built Before 2021, Located Near Flamingo Crossings? October 15, 2014 106 Comments Tom Corless Tom Corlesswdwnt106 Comments Share This!This post may contain affiliate links; please read the disclosure for more information. A 5th Walt Disney World theme park has been a dream for many since Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened in 1998. We are currently living through the longest drought without a new theme park at Walt Disney World in the resort’s history: 16.5 years. As Walt Disney World reached its 40th anniversary in 2011, a new ten year plan for the growth of the resort was laid out, culminating in the 50th anniversary in 2021, which is sure to be viewed as the pinnacle theme park celebration in the company’s history. Sure, Disneyland is the original and Walt’s baby, but Walt Disney World was his last dream and has always been favored by management in the company for being the resort destination with the highest profits. This reasoning made it easy to believe rumors that a 5th theme park was one of the end goals of the ten year plan management devised for Orlando. So, just a few days ago we told you about the groundbreaking finally taking place at Flamingo Crossings and why that seems to be important and indicative of larger plans for Walt Disney World in the next 8-10 years. Well, it seems it might be a good sign that a 5th park is coming, especially with some recent land purchases made by Disney in the surrounding area (hat tip to Screamscape to putting together some pieces of the story). Disney owns 3000 total acres of land that are put aside for Flamingo Crossings project, located just outside of the colorful character borders of the Walt Disney World Resort on Western Way."

Disney gardeners can take a normal everyday bush and turn it into a work of art. 365 days a year, you'll find manicured lawns, elaborate garden beds, and interesting foilage in all the parks and resorts. But in the spring, Epcot flowers really come to life. The Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival isn't just about pretty flowers (but there are lots of those). You'll learn about growing, planting, and eating sustainable flowers, herbs, fruits and veggies, explore interative play areas and educational exhibits, eat fresh food and enjoy some music that Dad really likes."

"text": "\"Theme Park Insider - February 2014Robert Niles Where should Disney build a 'Frozen' theme park attraction? February 8, 2014, 1:07 PM · With Frozen overtaking The Lion King as Disney's top-grossing animated film of all time (not adjusting for inflation), Disney executives cannot wait to find new ways to extend their income from this wildly popular movie. Theme park presence will be part of that mix. Disney's already introduced Frozen meet-and-greets in Disneyland's Fantasyland and Epcot's Norway pavilion at Walt Disney World. And Disney CEO Bob Iger has promised more for Frozen. So theme park fans are led to ask: What would a Frozen theme park attraction look like? And where would it go? We've already addressed some of the problems with placing a Frozen attraction in Epcot's Norway pavilion. Furthermore, Frozen is set in a mythical kingdom called Arendelle, not Norway. Sure, both have snow and ice, but if that's the sole criterion for placement, you might as well put Disney's Frozen ride in the Hoth section of Star Wars Land as in Norway. ("

It was conceived by Walt Disney to \"\"take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry.\"\" This concept is best exemplified by Spaceship Earth, the glistening geosphere that has become Epcot's icon. Epcot consists of two themed areas, Future World and World Showcase. Future World features attractions that focus on energy, communication, health, the land and our environment, the ocean, imagination, transportation and space exploration. \"\" Spaceship Earth\"\" traces the history of communication as it evolved over the centuries.

"text": "Top 10 Tips For Visiting Walt Disney World In The Off Season Posted by: Paula KWhen schools are back in session, Walt Disney World is a lot less crowded. While it is a great time to plan a vacation, there are things that you will need to keep in mind. Smaller crowds mean shorter operating hours, but that doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to still do everything that you want to do. You’ll also stand in shorter lines and have a chance to get to bed a little bit earlier. The resort hotels cost less than you would have paid during the peak season, and there are sometimes other incentives thrown in, such as the Disney Dining Plan. The off season is the perfect time to plan a shorter vacation as well. If you have been thinking about heading to Walt Disney World but you don’t want to take a week out of your busy life, consider spending just a few days there. The lighter crowds mean that you will be able to get more done in a short period of time. You’ll leave exhausted, but it will have been worth it. Planning is always important if you’re headed to Walt Disney World, even during the off season."

"text": "Travel United States Orlando Is there a fee to get into Epcot for dinner? My family will be going to Disney World for a few days in October, and if I remember right, people who have all day passes to one of the parks can get into Epcot in the evening for dinner, is this true? If not, does anyone know of what kind of fee there would be to get in JUST for dinner? Thanks~Follow 14 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: You'll need to have a valid theme park admission ticket in order to access Epcot -- even if you're just going to eat dinner. A 1-day pass is around $70.00 (per person). As a side-thought -- there are plenty of great restaurants in the Downtown Disney area and at the Disney resorts, and there is no admission charge for those areas. http://www.disneyworld.com/dr_nigel_c · 1 decade ago5 0 Comment I think you just need your ticket. If you have a ticket with the park hopper feature, you could spend the day in MGM, or Magic Kingdom, but then go over to Epcot. There isnt a fee for that. I'd suggest using that park hopper because some parks are open earlier or later each day, so if MGM closes at 7, you could go to Epcot if it was open to 9... You'd have to spend the whole day at one park if you had the non-park hopper feature."

Opened on October 1, 1971, the resort is owned and operated by Walt Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products, a division of The Walt Disney Company. It was initially operated by Walt Disney World Company. The property covers 27,258 acres (43 sq mi; 110 km 2 ), featuring four theme parks, two water parks, twenty-seven themed resort hotels, nine non-Disney hotels, several golf courses, a camping resort, and other entertainment venues, including the outdoor shopping center Disney Springs. Designed to supplement Disneyland in Anaheim, California, which had opened in 1955, the complex was developed by Walt Disney in the 1960s. \"\" The Florida Project\"\", as it was known, was intended to present a distinct vision with its own diverse set of attractions. Walt Disney's original plans also called for the inclusion of an \"\" Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow \"\" (EPCOT), a planned community intended to serve as a test bed for new city living innovations. After extensive lobbying, the government of Florida created the Reedy Creek Improvement District, a special government district that essentially gave The Walt Disney Company the standard powers and autonomy of an incorporated city. Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966, during construction of the complex. Without Disney spearheading the construction, the company created a resort similar to Disneyland, abandoning experimental concepts for a planned community."

"text": "Posted on May 19, 2014 in Attractions, Disney, Featured, Lines Guide, Rides, Theme Parks, Walt Disney World | 2 comments13 Longest Lines At Disney World13 Longest Lines At Disney World Knowing which attractions have the longest lines at Disney World can help you to better plan your day in the parks. The length of the lines are going to be determined by how crowded the overall park is however, knowing which attractions have longer lines relative to others will allow you to make more educated decisions as to what a reasonable wait time is for that day. The wait times are going to fluctuate throughout the day so it’s important to know what a reasonable wait time is so you do not end up waiting in a long line for an attraction that is just having a spike in guest traffic at the time you are there. For example, Buzz Lightyear will almost never have a longer line than Space Mountain. If you were planning to go on Buzz Lightyear and it had a 45 minute wait and Space Mountain also had a 45 minute wait then that would tell me to go on Space Mountain because at the moment Buzz Lightyear is having a spike in guest traffic and more than likely the wait time will shorten soon enough relative to Space Mountain, not too mention 45 minutes for Space Mountain is not a bad wait time for that attraction. As a good rule of thumb follow these general tips for getting on busier attractions in the shortest amount of time without having to use a fastpass. Go to busier attractions first thing in the morning when the park opens. For example Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney’s Animal Kingdom gets busy quickly but if you go there first when the park opens you can pretty much walk right on. Go on busier attractions during the parade. If you are not planning to watch the parade then use that time to go on a busier attraction as the line will shorten for the duration of the parade."

It helps improve bone and hair health, maintain electrolyte balance, sexual health, the functioning of the nervous system, and speeds wound healing. It also helps strengthen the immune system, maintain healthy levels of hemoglobin, and improve the formation of new cells in the body. It is a dense, viscous by-product obtained from the processing of sugar cane and sugar beet into table sugar. It derives its name from the Latin word for honey, mel. Its viscosity and thick texture gave rise to the famous designation of something or someone being “slow as molasses” for any slow-moving thing. Historically , molasses was produced in the Caribbean, where the cultivation of sugarcane and sugar beet was the highest. From there, it was imported to the United States during the early 20 th century. Today, it is produced on a large scale in Thailand, India, Taiwan, Brazil, the Philippines, and the United States."

But is it? Multiple studies confirm that the majority of people with Marfan syndrome have not been found to have any fibrillin-1 mutations. Studies also show that fibrillin-1 mutations are rather common, and it seems that most people who have them do not have Marfan syndrome.

According to Norman Shealy, MD, Ph. D, an American neurosurgeon and a pioneer in pain medicine, “Every known illness is associated with a magnesium deficiency and it’s the missing cure to many diseases.” Not only does magnesium help regulate calcium, potassium and sodium, but it’s essential for cellular health and a critical component of over 300 biochemical functions in the body. Even glutathione, your body’s most powerful antioxidant that has even been called “the master antioxidant,” requires magnesium for its synthesis. Unfortunately, most people are not aware of this, and millions suffer daily from magnesium deficiency without even knowing it. Causes of Magnesium Deficiency Once thought to be relatively rare, magnesium deficiency is more common than most physicians believe. Here’s why: Soil depletion, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the chemicals in our food have created a recipe for disaster. As minerals are removed, stripped away or no longer available in the soil, the percentage of magnesium present in food has decreased. Digestive diseases, like leaky gut , can cause malabsorption of minerals, including magnesium."

This pattern, sometimes called syndrome X, metabolic disease, insulin resistance syndrome or dysmetabolic syndrome, is a collection of conditions that when taken together dramatically increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. A diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is made if a person has any three of the following risk factors: Waist circumference: at least 35 inches for women and at least 40 inches for men. Fasting blood glucose at least 100 mg/d LSerum triglycerides at least 150 mg/d LBlood pressure at least 135/85mm Hg HDL (“good”) cholesterol lower than 40 mg/d L for men or 50 mg/d L for women Metabolic Syndrome appears to affect between 25 and 30 percent of the U. S. population according to various national health surveys. In fact, the number of people with metabolic syndrome seems to increase as we get older, affecting four in 10 Americans as they reach their 60s and 70s. What are the symptoms of metabolic syndrome? Usually, there are no immediate physical symptoms of metabolic syndrome. People with metabolic syndrome do have a tendency to be overweight, especially around the abdomen – having an “apple shape.” Moreover, since this condition is associated with insulin resistance, individuals with metabolic syndrome may display some of the clinical features associated with an increase in the production of insulin. For instance, women may experience cysts on their ovaries (metabolic syndrome is associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome) and irregular periods."

"text": "Magnesium Magnesium is one of the most abundant minerals in soft tissue. The average adult body contains about 20 to 28 g of magnesium with about 60 percent of this present in the bones, and the rest in the muscle, soft tissue and body fluids. Magnesium is found in high concentrations inside cells, particularly those of the brain and heart. Research into the role of magnesium is increasing in clinical importance as growing evidence suggests that magnesium deficiency may play a role in a number of disorders. What it does in the body Metabolism Magnesium is a co-factor in over 300 enzyme reactions, particularly those involving the metabolism of food components and the formation of new compounds essential for good health. All enzymatic reactions requiring the energy storage molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), require magnesium. It is also needed for protein synthesis, DNA manufacture, fatty acid synthesis, anaerobic breakdown of glucose; and the removal of toxic substances, such as ammonia, from the body. Bones Magnesium is vital for healthy bone structure. Interaction with calcium Calcium interacts with magnesium in many body processes, such as the regulation of blood vessel tone and contraction of muscles, including heart muscle.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Magnesium is an essential element in biological systems. Magnesium occurs typically as the Mg 2+ ion. It is an essential mineral nutrient (i.e., element) for life [1] [2] [3] [4] and is present in every cell type in every organism. For example, ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main source of energy in cells, must bind to a magnesium ion in order to be biologically active. What is called ATP is often actually Mg-ATP. [ 5] As such, magnesium plays a role in the stability of all polyphosphate compounds in the cells, including those associated with the synthesis of DNA and RNA. Over 300 enzymes require the presence of magnesium ions for their catalytic action, including all enzymes utilizing or synthesizing ATP, or those that use other nucleotides to synthesize DNA and RNA. In plants, magnesium is necessary for synthesis of chlorophyll and photosynthesis.

Eat more plants, spice up your food, and drink herbal teas to obtain optimum mineral nutrition. Magnesium Magnesium is the eleventh most abundant element in the human body and is known to participate as a cofactor in hundreds of metabolic reactions. ATP exists as a complex with magnesium and therefore this mineral is involved in all reactions that synthesize or require ATP including carbohydrate, lipid, protein, RNA, and DNA synthesis. Many Americans do not get the recommended intake of magnesium from their diets. Some observational studies suggest mild magnesium deficiency is linked to increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Signs and symptoms of severe magnesium deficiency may include tremor, muscle spasms, loss of appetite, and nausea. Iron Red blood cells contain the oxygen-carrier protein hemoglobin."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Person perception)navigation search Further information on Social perception: Social psychology and social cognition Social perception (or person perception) is the study of how people form impressions of and make inferences about other people as sovereign personalities. [ 1] People learn about others' feelings and emotions by picking up information they gather from physical appearance, verbal, and nonverbal communication. Facial expressions, tone of voice, hand gestures, and body position or movement are just a few examples of ways people communicate without words. A real-world example of social perception would be understanding that others disagree with what one said when one sees them roll their eyes. There are four main components of social perception: observation, attribution, integration, and confirmation. Observations serve as the raw data of social perception—an interplay of three sources: persons, situations, and behavior. These sources are used as evidence in supporting a person's impression or inference about others. Another important factor to understand when talking about social perception is attribution. Attribution is expressing an individual's personality as the source or cause of their behavior during an event or situation. [ 2] In order to fully understand the impact of personal or situational attributions, social perceivers must integrate all available information into a unified impression."

"text": "\"Income Tax Folio S1-F3-C2, Principal Residence Series 1: Individuals Folio 3: Family Unit Issues Chapter 2: Principal Residence Summary This Chapter discusses the principal residence exemption, which can eliminate or reduce (for income tax purposes) a capital gain on the disposition of a taxpayer’s principal residence. In order for a property to qualify for designation as the taxpayer’s principal residence, he or she must own the property. Joint ownership with another person qualifies for this purpose. The housing unit representing the taxpayer’s principal residence generally must be inhabited by the taxpayer or by his or her spouse or common-law partner, former spouse or common-law partner, or child. A taxpayer can designate only one property as his or her principal residence for a particular tax year. Furthermore, for a tax year that is after the 1981 year, only one property per family unit can be designated as a principal residence. Important notice On December 14, 2017, Parliament passed Bill C-63 which contained the proposed changes to the capital gains rules as they affect the disposition of a principal residence by an individual or trust that were introduced on October 3, 2016. The changes are meant to close loopholes surrounding the capital gains exemption on the sale of a principal residence. Some of the new rules apply to dispositions after September 15, 2016, after October 2, 2016 and some apply after 2016. On October 3, 2016, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) announced an administrative change to its reporting requirements for the sale of a principal residence."

One of the principal players in French intellectual life, Bourdieu became the \"\"intellectual reference\"\" for movements opposed to neo-liberalism and globalisation that developed in France and elsewhere during the 1990s. [ 1]He used methods drawn from a wide range of disciplines: from philosophy and literary theory to sociology and anthropology. He is best known for his book Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste, in which he argues that judgments of taste are related to social position. More generally, he combined both theory and verifiable facts in an attempt to reconcile difficulties such as how to understand the subject within objective structures. In the process, he tried to reconcile the influences of both the social background and \"\"free choice\"\" on the individual (see structure and agency ). Bourdieu pioneered investigative frameworks and terminologies such as cultural, social, and symbolic capital, and the concepts of habitus, field or location, and symbolic violence to reveal the dynamics of power relations in social life."

"text": "If a County Court Judgement (CCJ) is issued against you, you will normally be required to pay the associated debt in one of two ways. Either immediately in full or by monthly instalments. If you are required to pay be monthly instalments it is very important to understand whether or not additional interest can be added to the debt. If it can this will significantly increase the time it will take you to repay what you owe. You are always likely to have to pay some interest on your debt if a CCJ is issued against you. This is added to the total debt as a fixed amount at the time that the application for the CCJ is made. The amount of interest added will either be the total interest which would have been payable under the original credit agreement or just the interest charged up to the date that the CCJ is issued. However the important question is whether or not extra interest can be added to the debt after the CCJ has been issued by the Court. This will depend largely on the type of debt owed and the nature of the original credit agreement. Can statutory interest be added to a CCJ?"

[ 4]Bourdieu's work was primarily concerned with the dynamics of power in society, and especially the diverse and subtle ways in which power is transferred and social order maintained within and across generations. In conscious opposition to the idealist tradition of much of Western philosophy, his work often emphasized the corporeal nature of social life and stressed the role of practice and embodiment in social dynamics. Building upon the theories of Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Edmund Husserl, Georges Canguilhem, Karl Marx, Gaston Bachelard, Max Weber, Émile Durkheim, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Erwin Panofsky, and Marcel Mauss (among others), his research pioneered novel investigative frameworks and methods, and introduced such influential concepts as cultural, social, and symbolic forms of capital (as opposed to traditional economic forms of capital ), the cultural reproduction, the habitus, the field or location, and symbolic violence. Another notable influence on Bourdieu was Blaise Pascal, after whom Bourdieu titled his Pascalian Meditations. Bourdieu's major contributions to the sociology of education, the theory of sociology, and sociology of aesthetics have achieved wide influence in several related academic fields (e.g. anthropology, media and cultural studies, education), popular culture, and the arts. Bourdieu's best known book is Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste (1979). The book was judged the sixth most important sociological work of the twentieth century by the International Sociological Association. [ 5] In it, Bourdieu argues that judgments of taste are related to social position, or more precisely, are themselves acts of social positioning. His argument is put forward by an original combination of social theory and data from quantitative surveys, photographs and interviews, in an attempt to reconcile difficulties such as how to understand the subject within objective structures."

The landlord can evict a tenant for any one of three reasons: The term (usually one month or one year) for which the property was rented is over;The tenant is behind in the rent; or The tenant has breached (broken) some clause of the lease. The landlord needs no reason to evict a tenant it the landlord gives the tenant proper notice that the landlord wants the property back at the end of the term. B. WHAT IS THE PROPER EVICTION PROCEDURE? The Landlord-Tenant Law of 1951 points out the only method for a landlord to evict a tenant. The Landlord-Tenant Law does not apply to people who are buying a home or who live in a hotel or rooming house. The Eviction Notice - The landlord must give the tenant written notice of the reason for the eviction and the date that the landlord wants the tenant to leave. Caution: A tenant with a written lease should read the lease carefully to see whether or not he/she has given up the right to receive this eviction notice. The eviction notice must be personally delivered to the tenant or posted on the dwelling. An eviction notice, sent by mail is probably not enforceable."

But on Dec 22he hit me and someone called the police he was on PCP and I am sure other things. I am not a drug addict and i struggled with accepting it. So from the begining i have been trying to get him into the court orderered rehab which clearly that is not the intention of the law so he is also charged with breaking a protective order...but I AM wondering why it says this as his activity."

In fact the Catholic Church wants no one in her membership who is forced or coerced into membership. So a person must have it in their heart and mind that it is right and true for them to be a Catholic member. So let's question it. Ordained ministers dispense, with God's help, the most powerful graces in the church. These are the sacraments. Especially of interest to me are the sacraments of Reconciliation (confession) and the Eucharist (holy mass). These are needed for that one-step-at-a-time growth into Christ. The Church says \"\"those who do not eat of the flesh (eucharist) have no life\"\" and those who commit grave offences absolutely must be reconciled through an ordained minister. This need for a particular external individual, the ordained minister, seems to be at odds with the need for the proper disposition within the individual accepting the grace of the sacrament."

"text": "\"Ceteris Paribus Laws First published Mon Mar 14, 2011; substantive revision Mon Jun 22, 2015Laws of nature take center stage in philosophy of science. Laws are usually believed to stand in a tight conceptual relation to many important key concepts such as causation, explanation, confirmation, determinism, counterfactuals etc. Traditionally, philosophers of science have focused on physical laws, which were taken to be at least true, universal statements that support counterfactual claims. But, although this claim about laws might be true with respect to physics, laws in the special sciences (such as biology, psychology, economics etc.) appear to have—maybe not surprisingly—different features than the laws of physics. Special science laws—for instance, the economic law “Under the condition of perfect competition, an increase of demand of a commodity leads to an increase of price, given that the quantity of the supplied commodity remains constant” and, in biology, Mendel's Laws—are usually taken to “have exceptions”, to be “non-universal” or “to be ceteris paribus laws”. How and whether the laws of physics and the laws of the special sciences differ is one of the crucial questions motivating the debate on ceteris paribus laws. Another major, controversial question concerns the determination of the precise meaning of “ceteris paribus”. Philosophers have attempted to explicate the meaning of ceteris paribus clauses in different ways. The question of meaning is connected to the problem of empirical content, i.e., the question whether ceteris paribus laws have non-trivial and empirically testable content."

"text": "If we are to take his own statement of the case at face value, Hamlet’s ‘antic disposition’ is a disguise for real feelings and intentions, a mere act, something to be assumed and cast off at will, or so he tells Horatio and Marcellus: How strange or odd some’er I bear myself As I perchance hereafter shall think meet To put an antic disposition on…. ( I, v, 170)Every audience is bound to be taken aback by this, in the light of all that Hamlet has stood for up to now. He has made a point of asserting his truth, his anxiety to be what he looks like, to embody the perfect equation of appearance and reality: ‘Seems, madam! Nay it is; I know not seems’ (I, ii, 76). Now, only a few scenes later, he is preparing to employ the same ‘ambiguous giving out’ as he has so lucidly deplored in his mother and uncle. There are various ways of looking at his assumption of the ‘antic disposition’. One may regard it as a useful weapon in the coming struggle with Claudius and his associates; this, apparently, is why Hamlet assumes it in the first place. It may also be explained as a legacy from the sources used by Shakespeare: in these sources (e.g. Thomas Kyd) the central figure feigned madness in order to allay the suspicions of his enemies while he plotted and executed his revenge. Again, we may regard the assumption of a mask as evidence that Hamlet has begun to succumb to the general contamination which the fateful crime of Claudius has spread like a poison through the realm (‘Something is rotten in the state of Denmark’). This interpretation is in tune with the idea, found in all the tragedies, that overwhelming evil, engulfing most of the participants, issues from the initial breach in nature (in this case a brother’s murder)."

Even organizations with virtually no management systems will have at least a semblance of methods for controlling nonconformities. However, that doesn't mean effective methods nor even ones that would pass muster during an ISO 9001:2000 audit. In fact, effective, user-friendly methods for controlling nonconforming products are quite rare. A system for controlling nonconformities is, by its very nature, defensive. Its purpose is to contain nonconformities and prevent them from reaching customers. Implementing a great system won't make an organization world-class. On the other hand, a poor system can cause very serious problems, and possibly even lead to the organization's demise. Therefore, it makes sense to construct an effective system that everybody will use and understand. ISO 9001:2000 leaves most requirements for controlling nonconformities unchanged from earlier revisions."

Too, each state has its own specific laws, and if you are interested in becoming a repo man then it is your responsibility to spend the time necessary to sit down and discuss with a state employee all of the laws that your company must abide by. Vehicle repossession companies must have state licenses, federal Department of Transportation licenses (for tow trucks), and numerous other certifications and permits.

Stating it plainly, the vehicle repossession business requires that the repo man be an individual who is self-starting, self-disciplined, and skilled in researching data (addresses, social security numbers, license numbers, phone numbers, etc.). If an individual does not have the self-initiative to visit the several government agencies to acquire all needed licenses, then the individual is not well qualified to be a repo man.

A criminal case in district court is said to be disposed on the date the case is bound over to superior court by way of a superseding indictment, a waiver or finding of probable cause, or when the case is finally disposed in the district court by guilty plea, or dismissal or finding of no probable cause. The disposition date is not when the data are entered into the automated system but the actual date of dismissal or order."

"text": "\"The Nature of Critical Thinking: Outlines of General Critical Thinking Dispositions and Abilities Robert H. [email protected] (last revised September, 2015)Critical thinking is \"\"reasonable reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do.\"\" This definition (or concept) of critical thinking I believe captures the core of the way the term is ordinarily used by supporters of critical thinking. In deciding what to believe or do, one is helped by the employment of a set of critical thinking dispositions and abilities (which is a conception of critical thinking) that I outline in detail below. This conception of critical thinking can serve as a set of comprehensive goals for a critical thinking curriculum and its assessment, and could be used as a syllabus for a course or a curriculum in critical thinking. An earlier version of the present statement, \"\"The Nature of Critical Thinking: Outlines of General Critical Thinking Dispositions and Abilities\"\" is in Ennis, 2011a. For interactive teaching suggestions that would make such a syllabus more engaging, see \"\"Twenty-One Strategies and Tactics for Teaching Critical Thinking\"\" on this web site, http://criticalthinking.net, under \"\"How can critical thinking be taught?\"\" An earlier version of these strategies and tactics is in Ennis, 2011b. Usefulness in curriculum decisions, teaching, and assessment, not elegance or mutual exclusiveness, is the purpose of this outline. For the sake of brevity, clarification in the form of examples, qualifications, and more detail, including more criteria, are omitted, but can be found in sources listed below, including \"\"Critical thinking: A streamlined conception\"\" (a revised version of 1991b), (2015), \"\"Critical thinking: Reflection and perspective—Part I\"\" (2011a), \"\" Critical Thinking: A Streamlined Conception \"\" (downloadable here), (1991b), \"\"A Taxonomy of Critical Thinking Dispositions and Abilities\"\" (1987b), A conception of critical thinking – with some curriculum suggestions (1987a), \"\"A Conception of Rational Thinking\"\" (1980), A concept of critical thinking (1962),but more fully in Critical Thinking (1996a).

"text": "\"UT Tyler Records Retention and Management Frequently Asked Questions What is records management? Records management is the management of a record during its entire life cycle. The life cycle of a record begins when it is created and ends at its final disposition whether that be destruction of the record or the transfer of the record to archive. What does records management have to do with me? All departments have a responsibility to preserve and protect all records that are under its control. The best way to do this is to understand the kinds of records that your department creates and maintains and actively manage them. Each department also has the responsibility to follow the polices and procedures of good records management as set out in this website. What are the benefits of a records management program? Records Management frees up physical storage space such as file cabinets, storerooms or frees up server space and allows departments to dispose of unneeded records with confidence. Proper records management reduces the volume of records that must be searched when responding to audits, requests for public information, subpoenas, and other administrative requirements."

"text": "\"Arrest Disposition Submission An Identity History Summary—often referred to as a criminal history record—includes an individual’s identifiers (descriptive information and fingerprints), arrests, and subsequent dispositions. All information on an Identity History Summary is obtained from fingerprint submissions, disposition submissions, and other information submitted by authorized criminal justice agencies to the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division. Each criminal arrest should have a disposition. Section I. Introduction The FBI defines a disposition as the formal or informal conclusion of an arrest or charge at whatever stage it occurs in the criminal justice system. A disposition reports the court’s findings and can include information as to whether an arrest charge has been modified or dropped. Dispositions are submitted by criminal justice agencies and posted to the Identity History Summary to ensure accuracy and completeness. Dispositions are submitted to the CJIS Division by: State Criminal History Repositories Arresting Agencies (Sheriff’s Offices, Police Departments, State Police, Correctional Facilities)Courts Federal Agencies (FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, U. S. Marshals, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, etc. ) Note: If you have reached this page because you are seeking information on how to obtain your Identity History Summary or challenge the presence or absence of information on your summary, review the Challenge of an Identity History Summary to obtain information regarding your FBI Identity History Summary or contact us at 304-625-5590. Importance of Arrest Dispositions In every instance where criminal arrest fingerprints have previously been submitted to the FBI, it is imperative that the final disposition be submitted to maintain a complete and accurate Identity History Summary.

In Bourdieu's theory of fields dispositions are the natural tendencies of each individual to take on a certain position in any field. There is no strict determinism through one's dispositions. In fact, the habitus is the choice of positions according to one's dispositions. However, in retrospect a space of possibles can always be observed. A disposition is not a process or event in some duration in time, but rather the state, preparation, or tendency of a structure \"\"in waiting\"\".

"text": "\"The Role of Culture in Moral Development Daniel Pekarsky, Ph D Professor, Educational Policy Studies University of Wisconsin-Madison Introduction The title of this discussion, \"\"The Role of Culture in Moral Development\"\", points to two different, albeit inter-related, questions: first, what role does culture play in moral development? ; and second, what is the proper responsibility of a culture in guiding the moral growth of its members? This paper does not systematically explore what the proper role of a culture is in the area of moral growth, and it recognizes that precisely what this role should be is rightly subject to debate. At the same time, it takes it for granted that because, as I will discuss, the social universe that children encounter inevitably, and for better or for worse, influences their moral growth, a community needs to view itself as responsible for the moral growth of its members. This paper argues that while this communal responsibility cannot be adequately discharged through special-purpose institutions like schools, such institutions, if thought of in the right way, may be capable of playing a significant role in the process of moral growth. The reasons for this view will emerge through our inquiry into the role that, intended or not, culture does play in the moral development of its members. Before embarking on this inquiry, and because terms like \"\"culture\"\" and \"\"moral development\"\" are far from self- explanatory, let me preface my remarks with a few comments concerning how I will be interpreting these terms in the context of this paper. I will be using the term \"\"culture\"\" in a fairly intuitive and very broad sense to denote the totality of the social environment into which a human being is born and in which he/she lives. Culture in this sense includes the community's institutional arrangements (social, political, and economic) but also its forms of art and knowledge, the assumptions and values embedded in its practices and organization, its images of heroism and villainy, it various systems of ideas, its forms of work and recreation, and so forth. I turn now to the concept of moral development."

( January 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The South African law of succession prescribes the rules which determine the devolution of a person’s estate after his death, and all matters incidental thereto. It identifies the beneficiaries who are entitled to succeed to the deceased's estate, and the extent of the benefits they are to receive, and determines the different rights and duties that persons (for example, beneficiaries and creditors) may have in a deceased's estate. It forms part of private law. The manner in which assets are distributed depends on whether the deceased has left a valid will or other valid document containing testamentary provisions, such as an antenuptial contract. If the deceased has not left a valid will or valid document containing testamentary provisions, the deceased dies intestate; similarly, if the deceased leaves a valid will which does not dispose of all property, there is an intestacy as to the portion not disposed of."

"text": "\"The Nature of Critical Thinking: Outlines of General Critical Thinking Dispositions and Abilities Robert H. [email protected] (last revised September, 2015)Critical thinking is \"\"reasonable reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do.\"\" This definition (or concept) of critical thinking I believe captures the core of the way the term is ordinarily used by supporters of critical thinking. In deciding what to believe or do, one is helped by the employment of a set of critical thinking dispositions and abilities (which is a conception of critical thinking) that I outline in detail below. This conception of critical thinking can serve as a set of comprehensive goals for a critical thinking curriculum and its assessment, and could be used as a syllabus for a course or a curriculum in critical thinking. An earlier version of the present statement, \"\"The Nature of Critical Thinking: Outlines of General Critical Thinking Dispositions and Abilities\"\" is in Ennis, 2011a. For interactive teaching suggestions that would make such a syllabus more engaging, see \"\"Twenty-One Strategies and Tactics for Teaching Critical Thinking\"\" on this web site, http://criticalthinking.net, under \"\"How can critical thinking be taught?\"\" An earlier version of these strategies and tactics is in Ennis, 2011b. Usefulness in curriculum decisions, teaching, and assessment, not elegance or mutual exclusiveness, is the purpose of this outline. For the sake of brevity, clarification in the form of examples, qualifications, and more detail, including more criteria, are omitted, but can be found in sources listed below, including \"\"Critical thinking: A streamlined conception\"\" (a revised version of 1991b), (2015), \"\"Critical thinking: Reflection and perspective—Part I\"\" (2011a), \"\" Critical Thinking: A Streamlined Conception \"\" (downloadable here), (1991b), \"\"A Taxonomy of Critical Thinking Dispositions and Abilities\"\" (1987b), A conception of critical thinking – with some curriculum suggestions (1987a), \"\"A Conception of Rational Thinking\"\" (1980), A concept of critical thinking (1962),but more fully in Critical Thinking (1996a).

Is it correct that it's a protest about the economic recession, as stated at http://www.progressiveportal.org/store where they sell this black-and-white American flag?2 following 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: As you've said, in current times the black and white American flag is taken as a symbol for the economic recession that the country is going through. It is believed to be a call for change and a symbol of freedom of expression. There is however another side to the story that has nothing to do with the recession. The original concept of the black and white American flag was to depict the past, present and future of all the Black Americans living in America. The black in particular represents the past as well as the future. The black is also considered to symbolize the backbone or the background of Black Americans. This is because the country was built through many sacrifices and black seems to be the appropriate colour to depict the struggle. It is also taken as a representation of the present struggle of Black Americans to unit and initiate a social change. The flag also features white stars that are used to represent the past and future as well."

Cases involving stalking and harassment can be difficult to prosecute, and because of their nature are likely to require sensitive handling, especially with regard to victim care. The provision of accurate and up-to-date information to the victim throughout the life of the case, together with quality support and careful consideration of any special measures requirements are essential factors for the CPS to consider. It is important that the CPS work closely with the police and other agencies to ensure that the best evidence is gathered and presented to the court, to this end prosecutors should be aware of the Protocol on the appropriate handling of stalking offences between the Crown Prosecution Service & ACPO. A strong, coordinated prosecution team is required to proactively build and manage a case. It is also important that, where appropriate, victims are able to access relevant support organisations. This is to ensure that their safety and support needs are addressed throughout the criminal case (and sometimes beyond) and to reduce the risk they face as a result of the offending. In many circumstances, cases of stalking and harassment will come within the definition of 'domestic violence' and as such the CPS Domestic Violence Policy and legal guidance will also be relevant. Further information can be found at: CPS Policy on prosecuting cases of Domestic Violence Domestic Violence Legal Guidance Terminology Harassment In this legal guidance, the term harassment is used to cover the 'causing alarm or distress' offences under section 2 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 as amended (PHA), and 'putting people in fear of violence' offences under section 4 of the PHA. The term can also include harassment by two or more defendants against an individual or harassment against more than one victim."

"text": "\"Police Signal Codes What Are Police Signal Codes? Police signal codes and 10 codes are a system of numbers used together that represent specific activities or conditions and are usually transmitted by voice over the radio or used in mobile computer systems. The codes are typically transmitted from a dispatching center or dispatch (a central communications center) to officers in the field. Likewise, police officers will transmit these coded messages back to dispatch or when communicating with fellow officers. These codes are meant to assist emergency personnel such as law enforcement, by providing uniformity and precision in communication. However, police radio codes differ greatly throughout various jurisdictions and regions. This lack of uniformity across jurisdictional boundaries has created confusion among police and other law enforcement agencies conducting joint operations. This is especially problematic when responding to large-scale emergencies involving numerous agencies. This jurisdictional incongruity is a major safety concern for the public as well as for responding law enforcement and other emergency personnel. For this reason many agencies have adopted plain talk radio communication."

"text": "\"arrowlanguage What Does SOS Stand For? BY Matt Soniak December 14, 2012i Stock A lot of people think that the distress signal is an abbreviation for “save our souls” or “save our ship.” But in reality, \"\"save our souls\"\" and \"\"save our ship\"\" are backronyms, and the letters don’t actually stand for anything. In fact, the signal isn’t even really supposed to be three individual letters. It’s just a continuous Morse code string of three dots, three dashes, and three dots all run together with no spaces or full stops (…---…). Since three dots form the letter \"\"S\"\" and three dashes form an “O” in International Morse code, though, the signal came to be called an “SOS” for the sake of convenience. That connection has led to the letters coming into their own as a visual distress signal divorced from Morse Code, and those in need of rescue sometimes spell them out on the ground to be seen from above.

My Primary Loan has been Approved, and the Secondary Loan (a govt loan program) is just rubber stamping -- but the office is backed up with piles of applications and is running weeks behind. The Seller -- who is also the Agent -- wants me to pay a $5K (!!) extortion fee to agree to the Extension. Not only do I not have a spare $5K, but I refuse on principle.

"text": "Visual Distress Signals By Chief Warrant Officer Jim Krzenski, Commanding Officer, U. S. Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce The most common method that a mariner uses to notify the Coast Guard that they are in distress is via their marine VHF-FM radio. I strongly encourage all boaters to have a radio on board their vessel, especially if their boating activities take them offshore. During the past year Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce has responded to at least 75 cases in which the boat and crew were reported overdue. These vessels would have been able to call for and obtain help a lot sooner if they had a radio on board. In one case the vessel with its two occupants were drifting north at four knots in the Gulf Stream. They are very lucky that we were able to locate their speck of a vessel on the vast expanse of the ocean. Annex IV of the Coast Guard’s Navigation Rules publication lists many of the additional distress signals that can be used to attract attention. They include a gun fired at intervals of one minute (extreme care must be used when firing weapons), a continuous sounding of a fog signaling apparatus, red flares, SOS morse code, the words Mayday spoken over the radio telephone, the international call letters N. C. (November, Charlie), a visual signal consisting of a square flag having above or below it a ball or any thing resembling a ball, flames on a vessel, orange smoke, slowly and repeatedly raising and lowering arms outstretched to each side, emergency positioning indicating radio beacon (EPIRB), in inland waters only a high intensity white light flashing at 50 to 70 times a minute. The Coast Guard requires that recreational vessels carry three day and three night visual distress signals. The exceptions to this regulation are powered vessels under 16 feet and open sailing vessels under 26 feet without motors."

A: Quick Answer If a flag touches the ground, the condition should be remedied as quickly as possible. If the flag has become dirty, it should be cleaned with a mild soap before being re-flown. The United States Flag Code says the flag must be kept from touching the ground, but contrary to popular belief, it does not require the flag to be burned if this happens. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Do You Fold the American Flag? What Causes a Short in an Electrical Outlet? What Is the Proper Method of Disposal for the U. S. Flag? Credit: Chris Breeze CC-BY 2.0Full Answer Destroying a flag is only prescribed if a flag has become too dirty, tattered or otherwise damaged to be displayed properly. Flags that have reached the end of their lifespan are to be disposed of in a dignified manner, preferably by fire; however, many flags are made from nylon or other materials that produce toxic fumes when burned, and it may be illegal to burn a flag due to the potential for the release of dangerous pollutants. In this case, the flag can be turned over to the local Veterans of Foreign Wars chapter for proper disposal."

"text": "\"Flag Should you use a non-rebreather mask on a copd in distress? Answer by Tederator Confidence votes 94Many COPD patients have no history of smoking. What you are asking is whether high levels of oxygen are indicated for those with chronic lung pathologies. Regardless of WHY the patient is in distress, withholding oxygen to someone with demonstrated critically low oxygen levels does more harm than good. There are many confusing and contradictory statements made about oxygen delivery and many are based on bad assumptions. To simplify the story: 1) one should have a means of determining low blood oxygen levels; 2) aim for a blood oxygen level of 90-94% or so; 3) just because you are delivering 100% oxygen in the mask doesn't mean that the patient is receiving 100% to the bloodstream (i.e. a 24% mask can deliver \"\"too much\"\" oxygen and a 100% mask may not deliver enough depending on their condition); 4) the conventional non-rebreather mask only delivers 55-60% oxygen at the best of times, proven by research; 5) most textbooks are not research and often quote oxygen levels using no references that support those claims (thereby perpetuating the myth); 6) the worst possible thing one can do is with-hold oxygen to someone demonstrating critically low blood oxygen levels...deliver what you can to get them to 90-94%. A non-rebreather mask may not deliver enough oxygen to a patient as their condition worsens. Therefore, as long as you can demonstrate a \"\"need\"\" for oxygen, a non-rebreather mask may be perfectly acceptable and occasionally insufficient.5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"Introduction As an employment lawyer, you are not likely to deal with many cases concerning probationary employees. One can spend a great deal of effort sorting out how to apply the standard of cause for a probationary employee. At the end of the day, you are still going to be dealing with an employee who by definition has relatively short service. For many employees, the issue may not be worth pursuing. However, even for short service employees, the applicable notice period may be significant.1 This paper will highlight key points for consideration when you are faced with a termination involving a probationary employee. Probation Defined Probation may be defined as a trial period during which the employer will review and evaluate the employee to determine if he/she is suitable for ongoing employment.2 Probation not Implied A probationary period will not be implied into a contract of employment and automatically imposed on the employee. In order to establish an employee's probationary status, this must be done in the offer of employment and agreed to before the employee starts to work. If the employee accepts an oral offer of employment that does not specify a probationary period, then the deal has been made and no probationary period applies.3 The onus is on the employer to prove an alleged probationary term. In the \"\"real world\"\" however, it is not unusual for an employer to present the \"\"written agreement\"\" for the employee to sign after acceptance of the offer (or worse, after the employee has started to work). As in any other situation, the document is not the deal; it is only evidence of the deal."

Both the Western Conference standings and the Eastern conference standings change each and every day, and determine what 16 teams make the playoffs. Here are a few things to know about NBA standings for the next time you check them out. What NBA Standings Consist Of NBA standings include the following categories: “W”, “L”, “PCT”, “GB”, “Home”, “Road”, “DIV”, “CONF”, “PF”, “PA”, “DIFF”, “STRK” and “L10”. Let’s take a look at what all of these categories mean within NBA standings. “W” means the amount of wins a team has, and “L” is the times they have lost during the season. There are no ties in the NBA, so the win/loss record for a team is the first thing a fan looks at. When you are looking at NBA standings online, many times you can click on the category and it will list them in order of which team has the most wins, or the most loses. “PCT” is their win percentage."

"text": "\"Who should pay for the cost of college? In most circumstances, the privilege of parenthood carries with it the duty to assure that the child receives a good college education. Our courts have held that, in general, financially capable parents should contribute to the higher education of children who are qualified students. In evaluating a party's obligation for contribution toward the cost of higher education, courts will consider the following 12 factors: Whether the parent, if still living with the child, would have contributed toward the costs of the requested higher education;The effect of the background values and goals of the parent on the reasonableness of the expectation of the child for higher education;The amount of the contribution sought by the child for the cost of higher education;The ability of the parent to pay that cost;The relationship of the requested contribution to the kind of school or course of study sought by the child;The financial resources of both parents;The commitment to and aptitude of the child for the requested education;The financial resources of the child, including assets owned individually or held in custodianship or trust;The ability of the child to earn income during the school year or on vacation;The availability of financial aid in the form of college grants and loans;The child's relationship to the paying parent, including mutual affection and shared goals as well as responsiveness to parental advice and guidance; and The relationship of the education requested to any prior training and to the overall long-range goals of the child. Does a person have to pay for the college costs for their child? The courts have viewed education as a necessity. The recent trend in New Jersey has been to require parents to pay for the college costs for their children. Therefore, if the child is attending college, then it is very unlikely that a court will grant an emancipation motion. When a court makes a decision as to whether or not to require a parent to pay for a child's college education and related expenses, the court must consider the complete set of facts of each case. The court will analyze the following factors to assess if a parent should pay for a child's college costs; (i) the effect of the background, values, and goals of the parent on the reasonableness of the expectation of the child for higher education; (ii) the amount of contribution sought by the child for the cost of the higher education; (iii) the ability of the parent to pay that cost; (iv) the relationship of the requested contribution to the kind of school or course of study sought by the child; (v) the financial resources of both parties; (vi) the commitment to and aptitude of the child for the requested education; (vii) the financial resources of the child, including assets held individually or in custodianship or trust; (viii) the ability of the child to earn income during the school year or on vacation; (ix) the availability of financial aid in the form of college grants; (x) the child's relationship to the paying parent, including mutual affection and shared goals as well as responsiveness to parental advice and guidance; (xi) the relationship of education requested to any prior training and to the overall long range goals of the child."

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

"text": "Creating a simple parser with ANTLRRecently, I’ve faced a task of developing a tool which allows the application to have base of (not very complex) logical rules. There were three demands: The rules were to be written by non-programmers, so using of the languages which the program is written in (Java/Scala), wasn’t very good. The rule base should be changeable without redeployment of the application, ideally, should be stored in a database. We should have control on compilation and error emission. The first and the second demand could be met by developing some kind of Scala- or Groovy-based DSL, extremely simple. But I’ve come with several arguments against: The third requirement might be hard to meet. The rules are quite simple, so embedding an interpreter of a general-purpose language might be overkill. The language which rules consumer is written in might be changed (from Java/Scala to Python e.g. )So, I’ve decided to write a very simple rule parser/compiler. After I’d created a prototype I decided to write this post, hope it’ll be useful. I say in advance that you can see the code adapted for this post in this repository."

Real Madrid welcome bitter rivals Barcelona to the Bernabeu on Saturday evening in the first El Clasico of the La Liga season. The clash brings together the two best players in the world, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who between them have won the last six Ballon d'Or awards. Here, Sportsmail's columnists and reporters reveal which of the two they consider to be the best. JAMIE REDKNAPPMessi. This has to be one of the hardest questions anyone has ever asked me! I was lucky enough to work on both the Barcelona and Real Madrid games this week and both players were so good. I took my son, who is a big Liverpool fan, to Anfield just to watch Cristiano Ronaldo. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch players of their quality so whenever you get the chance you have to go and watch what they do."

"text": "Standard non-parole period offences — Pt 4 Div 1A [7-890] Introduction New South Wales was set apart from other Australian jurisdictions in February 2003 when standard non-parole periods were introduced as part of its sentencing law. The decision of R v Way (2004) 60 NSWLR 168 was the leading authority for nearly seven years on the question of how the standard non-period provisions in Pt 4 Div 1A should be applied. However, the High Court held in Muldrock v The Queen (2011) 244 CLR 120 that R v Way was wrongly decided. Court of Criminal Appeal decisions before Muldrock, which followed and applied R v Way and held that a two-stage approach is required to apply the provisions and which attributed what the High Court described as “primary” and “determinative significance” to the standard non-parole period, are no longer good law. Two years after Muldrock, the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Amendment (Standard Non-parole Periods) Act 2013 substantially amended the standard non-parole period provisions. It clarified the role of the standard non-parole period in the sentencing exercise and effectively enacted Muldrock . Unless stated otherwise, section numbers below refer to the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999. [ 7-895] Brief history of Pt 4 Div 1APart 4 Div 1A (entitled “Standard non-parole periods”) was inserted into the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act by the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Amendment (Standard Minimum Sentencing) Act 2002. The provisions created standard non-parole periods for several offences in a table located at the end of s 54D (the Table). The original items in the Table only apply to offences committed on or after 1 February 2003."

"text": "England flayed by flying Finch as Aussie smashes record for highest T20 international score By Paul Newman for the Daily Mail Published: 16:47 EDT, 29 August 2013 | Updated: 18:11 EDT, 29 August 201328View comments Australia may have fallen short in the Ashes but they found a star in the shortest form of the game on Thursday night as an extraordinary display of hitting by Aaron Finch gave them a record-filled victory in a run-packed first Twenty20 international. Aaron who? Well, Finch may not be a familiar name in England but he has carved out a mighty reputation in Twenty20 leagues for muscular hitting that was spectacularly demonstrated at the Ageas Bowl. Six of the best: Finch brings up his century with a maximum as England captain Stuart Broad looks on Fired up: Finch did not feature in the Ashes for Australia AWESOME AARON: Aaron Finch hit the highest individual score in T20 history on Thursday night with his 156 from 63 balls against England:156 Aaron Finch (Australia v England)123 Brendon Mc Cullum (New Zealand v Bangladesh, Sep 21, 2012)117 not out Richard Levi (South Africa v New Zealand, Feb 19, 2012)117 Chris Gayle (West Indies v South Africa, Sep 11, 2007)116no Brendon Mc Cullum (New Zealand v South Africa, Feb 28, 2010)104no Tillakaratne Dilshan (Sri Lanka v Australia, Aug 6, 2011). The 26-year-old smashed an incredible 156 from 63 balls with 14 sixes and 11 fours, the highest score in any T20 international. His century took one ball more than the fastest ever ton, hit by South Africa’s Richard Levi off 45 balls. England replied with some superb hitting of their own in the perfect example of what a short-form game should be, but Joe Root’s unbeaten 90 off 49 balls in his first international Twenty20 innings was only ever going to be the consolation in a losing cause. Finch enabled Australia to amass an imposing 248 for six and Australia would have surpassed the highest T20 international score of 260 had Jade Dernbach and Steven Finn not struck three late blows to restrict the scoring. Just the sort of opener, you would think, who could have boosted Australia’s Ashes hopes until you see that Finch averages fewer than 30 in first-class cricket. Stunning knock: Finch hit an incredible 16 sixes in his innings England captain Stuart Broad said: ‘The batsmen want to pitch a tent up and stay here but the bowlers have got their passports in their pockets and are ready for Durham."

"text": "\"The Difference Between ID and Class By Chris Coyier On July 9, 2008class, id# ID's and Classes are \"\"hooks\"\"We need ways to describe content in an HTML/XHTML document. The basic elements like <h1>, <p>, and <ul> will often do the job, but our basic set of tags doesn't cover every possible type of page element or layout choice. For this we need ID's and Classes. For example <ul id=\"\"nav\"\">, this will give us the chance to target this unordered list specifically, so that we may manipulate it uniquely to other unordered lists on our page. Or we might have a section on our page that has no relevant tag to signify it, for example a footer, where we might do something like this: <div id=\"\"footer\"\">. Or perhaps we have boxes in our sidebar for keeping content over there separated in some way: <div class=\"\"sidebar-box\"\">. These ID's and Classes the \"\"hooks\"\" we need to build into markup to get our hands on them. CSS obviously needs these so that we may build selectors and do our styling, but other web languages like Java Script depend on them too. But what is the difference between them?# ID's are unique Each element can have only one IDEach page can have only one element with that IDWhen I was first learning this stuff, I heard over and over that you should only use ID's once, but you can use classes over and over. It basically went in one ear and out the other because it sounded more like a good \"\"rule of thumb\"\" to me rather than something extremely important. If you are purely an HTML/CSS person, this attitude can persist because to you, they really don't seem to do anything different."

"text": "Solving One-Step Equations A one-step equation is as straightforward as it sounds. You will only need to perform one step in order to solve the equation. One goal in solving an equation is to have only variables on one side of the equal sign and numbers on the other side of the equal sign. The other goal is to have the number in front of the variable equal to one. The strategy for getting the variable by itself with a coefficient of 1 involves using opposite operations. For example, to move something that is added to the other side of the equation, you should subtract. The most important thing to remember in solving a linear equation is that whatever you do to one side of the equation, you MUST do to the other side. So if you subtract a number from one side, you MUST subtract the same value from the other side. You will see how this works in the examples. We’ll begin solving equations with those that only require one-step."

New vehicles purchased in Virginia that have been inspected in accordance with an inspection requirement of the manufacturer or distributor are not required to undergo the initial annual safety inspection. Placement of an inspection sticker on the windshield of a vehicle will be at the automobile dealer’s option. Such inspection by the automobile dealer shall be deemed to be the first inspection for meeting the purpose of § 46.2-1158 Code of Virginia. However, these vehicles must be reinspected within twelve months of the month of the first inspection or purchase and at least once every twelve months thereafter and display a valid inspection decal. If an inspection sticker is not placed on the windshield by the manufacturer or distributor, the owner should maintain documentation within the vehicle to show when the vehicle was purchased and to serve as a reference for future requirements for inspection. While the new language in Section 46.2-1157 states that “an inspection sticker may be affixed to the vehicle as required by Section 46-2-1163.”, for several practical reasons, an approval sticker should be affixed to the vehicle. The reasons are as follows: Once the purchaser drives the vehicle off the lot, it no longer meets the definition of a new vehicle as defined in Section 46.2-1500 of the Code of Virginia. Not if, but when the purchaser is stopped by law enforcement for not displaying an inspection sticker, and returns to the selling dealership for a sticker, the vehicle will be subject to an official state inspection like any other used vehicle."

Perhaps the most creative and well-known uses of military symbolism can be found on unit patches and insignia. Here are eight military unit insignia and their meanings.82nd Airborne The famed “AA” patch of the 82nd Airborne stands for “All-Americans.” This isn’t because of the lack of Chinese nationals in the ranks, but because when the 82nd Infantry Division was formed, its members came from all 48 states.

In a more concrete analogy, you can say that a division is a part of the body, let us say hand, for instance, and while a subsidiary is the offspring with an entirely separate body but is still owned by the parent company. Another difference between a subsidiary and a division is that the subsidiary can perform an entirely different operation from that of its parent company while a division cannot. If the company is into making cars, the division would most likely be a manufacturer of wheels or other car parts. In this case, this particular company may also have a subsidiary that is not related to car manufacturing cars at all. For example, a subsidiary company may have a cellular phone manufacturing entity, but the subsidiary does not always need to be something different from the business. Subsidiary companies can also operate on something that is related to the business of its parent company; it will not matter."

"text": "Home » Features Federalism in Canada: Basic Framework and Operation Feature by Jay Makarenko |Government & Institutions| Jan 11, 2008Central to the organization of government in Canada is the principle of federalism. Under this principle, Canada is divided into two constitutionally autonomous levels of government: the federal or central government, and the provincial governments. The nation’s basic division of government plays an important role in public finances and public policy. The basic framework and operation of Canadian federalism are discussed in this article with specific emphasis on the concept of federalism, the different levels of government, the formal division of powers, the operation of fiscal federalism, and the key means of interaction between different governments. Introduction to the Concept of Federalism What is federalism? How does it compare to other forms of government? Levels of Government in Canadian Federalism Federal, provincial, territorial, and local governments Canadian Federalism and the Divisions of Powers Federal and provincial powers under the Canadian Constitution Spending Powers and Canadian Fiscal Federalism Federal and provincial/territorial financial relations Canadian Federalism and Inter-Governmental Interaction Departmental and ministerial relations between governments Sources and Links to More Information List of article sources and links for more on this topic Introduction to the Concept of Federalism What is federalism? How does it compare to other forms of government? Division of Powers between Levels of Government In basic terms, federalism refers to “a division of jurisdiction and authority between at least two levels of government” (Jackson & Jackson: p. 189). This division usually occurs between two or more constitutionally recognized levels of government; that is, levels of government separated under the nation’s constitution and with their own autonomous (or semi-autonomous) constitutional powers."

These can be individual decisions, family decisions, business decisions or societal decisions. If you look around carefully, you will see that scarcity is a fact of life. Scarcity means that human wants for goods, services and resources exceed what is available. Resources, such as labor, tools, land, and raw materials are necessary to produce the goods and services we want but they exist in limited supply. Of course, the ultimate scarce resource is time- everyone, rich or poor, has just 24 hours in the day to try to acquire the goods they want. At any point in time, there is only a finite amount of resources available. Think about it this way: In 2015 the labor force in the United States contained over 158.6 million workers, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Similarly, the total area of the United States is 3,794,101 square miles. These are large numbers for such crucial resources, however, they are limited."

Usually, when it comes to controlling a model boat or plane, the pilot has absolute, precise control over the motor. A nudge of the throttle translates to a proportional increase in RPM. The same is true of input to the rudders, ailerons, flaps, and other parts involved in changing speed or direction. The distinction with multi-rotors, whether or not advantageous, is that no human is capable of controlling the rotational speeds of three or more motors simultaneously with enough precision to balance a craft in the air. This is where flight controllers come into play. A flight controller (FC) is a small circuit board of varying complexity. Its function is to direct the RPM of each motor in response to input. A command from the pilot for the multi-rotor to move forward is fed into the flight controller, which determines how to manipulate the motors accordingly. The majority of flight controllers also employ sensors to supplement their calculations."

With their ability to capture everyone’s favorite moments from a completely new and breathtaking perspective, it is no wonder they’re still gaining in popularity. Several other industries noticed a possible opportunity to expand their businesses and invested in drones as new workforce. I am primarily talking about aerial photographers, farmers, real estate agents and similar. They showed a solid dose of innovation with their early adaptation of drones with camera. That’s something which more industries should need to do in order to stay competitive on the market. With all of that being said, you must keep in mind that there is an abundance of drones with cameras on the market.

"text": "DJI drone users sometimes wonder how best to calibrate their IMU and what exactly IMU calibration helps with. In this article, we’ll take a look at what the IMU does and how exactly calibration works. An IMU, or inertial measurement unit, is an electronic device that measures and reports an object’s specific force, angular velocity and attitude (including its course angle, pitch angle, and roll angle) using data from an accelerometer, gyroscope, thermometer, and barometer. To better understand its intricacies, it helps to understand how each component works. An Accelerometer is a device that measures proper acceleration, an acceleration relative to a free-fall ing, or inertial, observer who is momentarily at rest relative to the object being measured. If you’re not inputting any commands and the aircraft hovers at an angle, like in the picture below, calibrate the IMU. IMU calibration, which involves the accelerometer, will help set standards for the aircraft’s attitude and reduce errors caused inaccurate sensor measurements. Make sure to calibrate your IMU on a level surface, and don’t move the aircraft during calibration. If you calibrate on an angled surface or move the aircraft during calibration, the aircraft’s attitude will be angled by default and it won’t hover stability, even without magnetic interference or other environmental issues. If your drone drifts a lot, IMU calibration may help resolve the issue."

DJI Mavic Quadcopter Highlights4.3 Miles Live HD Transmission The new DJI Ocu Sync transmission system allows the Mavic Pro to transmit live high definition video streaming at 1080p / 720p from a distance of up to 4.3 miles (7 kilometers). This is a big increase of almost 1.25 miles from other DJI models and is well ahead of the competition.27 Minutes Flight Time The Mavic Pro has a maximum flight time longer than most other consumer drones. Adding an extra few minutes means more fun and more filming. Excellent Collision Avoidance System The Mavic Pro has a new “Flight Autonomy” system that uses multiple sensors to see objects up to 49 feet in front (15 meters) and help avoid these obstacles. The Flight Autonomy technology gives the Mavic Pro long range, high precision obstacle sensing. This new Flight Autonomy system scans its environment in 3D. Flight Autonomy dramatically increases accuracy and helps the Mavic Pro to locate obstacles around it. Flight Autonomy is made up of 7 components including 5 cameras (forward and downward dual vision sensors and the main camera), dual-band satellite positioning (GPS and GLONASS), 2 ultrasonic rangefinders, redundant sensors and a group of 24 powerful, specialized computing cores. Cameras on the left and right side along with the front of the Mavic Pro are fixed in place using an an aluminum bracket to ensure the optimum alignment of the vision sensor lenses."

"text": "\"DJI Phantom 4: Here's how to set up your new drone and update the firmware The set up process is different to its predecessor By Mary-Ann Russon Updated January 24, 2017 11:10 GMTGetting a new drone is exciting but it can be complicated to get it up and running. Here's how to set up the DJI Phantom 4 drone IBTimes UKSo you've just shelled out an epic £1,229 (or $1,399 outside Europe) for your DJI Phantom 4 drone and you're excited to get it into the air – but you don't know how, because the set-up process is different to that of its predecessor, the Phantom 3 series. Never fear, IBTimes UK is here to the rescue with a handy step-by-step guide that takes you through those pesky firmware updates and compass calibration, as well as explaining how you can access some of the new nifty avoidance and user-tracking functions. Step One: Charge everything Why advertise with us The first thing you want to do, preferably the day before you want to take your drone out, is to charge absolutely everything. By everything we mean: the remote controller, the aircraft's battery (no, Phantom 3 batteries will not work with the Phantom 4), your tablet and your smartphone, in case you to look something up on Google when you're out in the field for the first time, because you might well need to. Step Two: Download DJI Go App and DJI Assistant 2 software Using a tablet as a view finder makes it easier to see the many functions and settings on the DJI Go app screenshot by IBTimes UKIn order to fly the Phantom 4, you'll need to download the DJI Go app onto your tablet from Google Play or the i OS App Store. It is used as a view finder on the controller when you're flying the drone. You can use a smartphone, but a tablet is bigger and it's easier for you to see the drone functions, as well as where the drone is going. Search for DJI Go in the app store, and if you already have the DJI Go app on your tablet from flying the Phantom 3 series drones, simply select \"\"Update\"\". You will also need to download the DJI Assistant 2 software to your PC or Mac so that you can update the firmware of the Phantom 4 drone, which you can download from the Phantom 4 Downloads section here."

"text": "\"Sharetwitter linkedin facebook google+email Stephen Pritchard Opinion9 Apr, 2015A lot less than you'd think, Stephen Pritchard reveals... Inside the Enterprise: Next week, the leading lights of broadcasting will gather in Las Vegas for the annual NAB Show. But, on the other side of America, a Chinese company with its origins as a toy maker, has already showed its plans to disrupt that industry. In New York, DJI – which makes remote control helicopters or \"\"drones\"\" – launched two new quadcopters with built in cameras. The Phantom 3 Professional boasts a 4K camera. The Phantom 3 Advanced films in regular HD, but costs just $999. For anyone working in broadcasting, these prices are game changing. One thousand dollars, or about £650, doesn't buy even the cheapest TV camera, let alone one that can fly. And the new Phantoms go further, quite literally. The quadcopters can stream live video footage at a very respectable 720p resolution, directly from the aircraft, directly to You Tube. DJI claims a maximum operating range for the streaming signal of about a mile, opening up the door to using the Phantoms to live stream sports events, breaking news, or even natural disasters."

"text": "\"Share I went for a long hike recently, up a steep mountain trail, excited to enjoy some crisp autumn air and beautiful fall foliage. In one pocket I had my smartphone. In another, I had a drone, the new DJI Mavic Pro. This was a pretty revelatory experience. Normally bringing along a drone means carrying at least a backpack, and most of the time a very bulky backpack. Now I was carrying a drone that was light enough I could forget it was there, slipped into the ordinary breast pocket of my Eddie Bauer vest. There have been plenty of small drones on the market before the Mavic. Hardly a week goes by without a new company claiming they have created the world’s smallest camera drone, smallest 4K drone, smallest drone with live-streaming video. My kids love to play with quadcopters that fit in the palm of your hand. But in the past using a small drone typically meant sacrificing camera quality, flight range, battery life, and advanced features."

"title": "https://trueorigin.org/language01.php\nThe Origin of Language and Communication",
"text": "Abstract By age four, most humans have developed an ability to communicate through oral language. By age six or seven, most humans can comprehend, as well as express, written thoughts. These unique abilities of communicating through a native language clearly separate humans from all animals. The obvious question then arises, where did we obtain this distinctive trait? Organic evolution has proven unable to elucidate the origin of language and communication. Knowing how beneficial this ability is to humans, one would wonder why this skill has not evolved in other species. Materialistic science is insufficient at explaining not only how speech came about, but also why we have so many different languages. Linguistic research, combined with neurological studies, has determined that human speech is highly dependent on a neuronal network located in specific sites within the brain. This intricate arrangement of neurons, and the anatomical components necessary for speech, cannot be reduced in such a way that one could produce a “transitional” form of communication. The following paper examines the true origin of speech and language, and the anatomical and physiological requirements."

By Connor Adams Sheets @Connor ASheets On 01/16/13 AT 8:25 PMTwitter and Instagram are two social media sites that have taken the world by storm. But they have their own language that many users, especially new ones, have a hard time understanding. Photo: Reuters Twitter and Instagram have taken the world by storm, but they have their own language that many users, especially new ones, have a hard time understanding. This glossary/dictionary will teach you the meanings behind key hashtags, abbreviations and slang terms like #FF, #TBT, #Icant, #Dead, SMH, FOH, #YOLO, CTFU and more. Many of them appear in both hashtag and written format, and they are all subject to the interpretation of the particular user, so don't take any of them as gospel. And please let us know in the comments if there are any others we should add to this list, or if you feel that any of these definitions are incorrect. Enjoy!#FF - This hashtag mostly shows up on Fridays, which should give you a good indication of what one of the Fs means. The other stands for Follow, and the two combine to make the phrase \"\"Follow Friday.\"\" Follow Friday is essentially a Twitter holiday with the aim of getting people to follow one another."

The objective of the group was to examine the general food CGMP regulation in 21 CFR Part 110 (hereinafter CGMP regulation) and determine whether the regulation was in need of modernization. Also, the group was specifically tasked to focus on risk-based preventive controls, i.e. those that would have the greatest impact on assuring food safety. The working group concluded that there have been changes in both the food industry and in the science of food safety that indicate a need for modernization. In 2003, the working group initiated research programs to identify those areas where GMP-type controls could have the greatest impact on assuring food safety. In 2004, the working group presented its preliminary findings from this research and engaged the public in three public meetings held across the country and through a Federal Register notice calling for comments on food CGMP modernization. This report summarizes the public comments and details the working group's key findings."

Introduction to AMD Modules Dojo supports modules written in the Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) format, which makes code easier to author and debug. In this tutorial, we explain the basics of understanding and using AMD. If you are migrating from a version of Dojo lower than 1.7, you may find the 1.8 version of this tutorial useful as it provides some guidance on migrating from Dojo's old module system to AMD. This tutorial will focus strictly on AMD. Overview The Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) format is the module format that Dojo adopted starting with Dojo 1.7. It provides many enhancements over the legacy Dojo module style, including fully asynchronous operation, true package portability, better dependency management, and improved debugging support. It is also a community-driven standard, which means that modules written to the AMD specification can be used with any other AMD-compliant loader or library. In this tutorial, we’ll explain AMD and show you how to use it."

"text": "\"The term \"\"elder\"\" is used two ways in the scriptures: There are those who are elders simply because of age, older men and women (I Tim. 5: 1, 2). There is also the official use of the word \"\"elders\"\" to denote special men who meet certain qualifications and are appointed to the work of overseeing the congregation where they serve (Tit. 1: 5; I Pet. 5: 1-4). It is this latter use of \"\"elder\"\" that we shall herein explore. The scriptures do not teach the modern denominational \"\"pastoral system of government\"\" in which the local preacher presides over the local church. Rather, \"\"And when they had ordained them elders in every church…\"\" (Acts 14: 23). It is evident that these special men were very important to the well being and function of the early church (Acts 11: 30; 15: 4; 20: 17; I Pet. 5: 1-4)."

"text": "\"Transparent Data Encryption Transparent Data Encryption is designed to protect data by encrypting the physical files of the database, rather than the data itself. Its main purpose is to prevent unauthorized access to the data by restoring the files to another server. With Transparent Data Encryption in place, this requires the original encryption certificate and master key. It was introduced in the Enterprise edition of SQL Server 2008. John Magnabosco explains fully, and guides you through the process of setting it up. Keyless entry for automobiles was first introduced by American Motors Corporation in 1983 and, today, there are a variety of methods that are available that permit the user to gain access to their automobile without inserting a physical key into the door lock. These include pushing a button on a device that transmits a radio frequency, entering a code into a key pad located beneath the driver’s side door handle, or possessing a device, called a fob, that is detected by the automobile’s security system. Of these devices, only the fob offers transparency to the owner of the vehicle. The fob is recognized by the security system and the door is automatically unlocked; in other words, the fob holder is granted access to the vehicle without any distinguishable action required on his or her part. If a person who does not possess the fob attempts to open the door of the automobile, the door remains locked, denying access into the vehicle."

"text": "In 1979, “Saturday Night Live’s” Jane Curtin and Dan Aykroyd faced off to parody a “60 Minutes” debate. “Jane, you ignorant slut,” Aykroyd began, playing the offensive traditionalist. “ Dan, you pompous ass,” Curtin would counter. The sketch is a classic, but there’s an odd imbalance between the insults each comedian uses. Aykroyd is able to attack Curtin’s sexual history, intellect and moral code, while Curtin’s response only cuts so deep as to imply that he’s unpleasant. It’s only a joke, but one that shows how our language makes it much easier to insult women, often based on their sexuality. Luckily, the Internet is here to plug that gender gap, and there’s another biting term for men picking up speed: “fuckboy. ”It doesn’t mean what you (might) think it means. In essence, a fuckboy (sometimes stylized “fuckboi” or “fuccboi”) is a (usually straight, white) dude embodying something akin to the “ man whore “ label, mashed up with some “ basic “ qualities and a light-to-heavy sprinkling of misogyny.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Text mining, also referred to as text data mining, roughly equivalent to text analytics, is the process of deriving high-quality information from text. High-quality information is typically derived through the devising of patterns and trends through means such as statistical pattern learning. Text mining usually involves the process of structuring the input text (usually parsing, along with the addition of some derived linguistic features and the removal of others, and subsequent insertion into a database ), deriving patterns within the structured data, and finally evaluation and interpretation of the output. ' High quality' in text mining usually refers to some combination of relevance, novelty, and interestingness. Typical text mining tasks include text categorization, text clustering, concept/entity extraction, production of granular taxonomies, sentiment analysis, document summarization, and entity relation modeling ( i.e., learning relations between named entities ). Text analysis involves information retrieval, lexical analysis to study word frequency distributions, pattern recognition, tagging / annotation, information extraction, data mining techniques including link and association analysis, visualization, and predictive analytics. The overarching goal is, essentially, to turn text into data for analysis, via application of natural language processing (NLP) and analytical methods. A typical application is to scan a set of documents written in a natural language and either model the document set for predictive classification purposes or populate a database or search index with the information extracted.

It’s Adam here again – this time I want to talk to you today about another key area of the content management world: Document Management (DM). Over the next few months, you’ll be hearing from several members of the engineering team about new DM features that help you get the most value out of your document corpus. We’ll also discuss how key early adopters of Share Point 2010 used new DM features to solve the toughest information governance challenges. Today, though, I’d like to spend time talking about what the team has learned about the document management space since Share Point 2007 and take you on a journey through the key tenets that guided our DM vision this release. Recap: Document Management in Share Point 2007Share Point 2007 was the first release where Share Point really broke out of its collaboration role and enabled customers to apply structure and management to their document libraries. A lot of the key DM infrastructure was established in that release: Check in/Check Out, Major/Minor Versioning, Per-Item Permissions, Content Types, Workflows, and the Recycle Bin are just a few examples. Of course, all of these features tightly integrated with the Office client applications such as Word, Excel, and Power Point to make it simple for end users to interact with the document repository (a core design tenet that carries through in 2010). Features like these enabled customers to start creating high - value knowledge repositories on Share Point 2007. For 2010, we looked to build off of 2007’s gigantic success, and we rallied our designs around three key ideas: Tenet #1: Manage the unmanaged As we looked at how our customers were starting to use the 2007 system’s DM features, we noticed an interesting trend: These features were not just part of managed document repository deployments."

The 92072 Code Q: The 92072 code is listed as covering the “initial fit only.” Can I be reimbursed for this code if the patient has been previously fit by another provider? A: There is a dispute about whether or not this “initial fitting” means once per lifetime or the first visit of each discrete prescribing episode. I believe it is the latter. Having worked on the 92072 Editorial Committee representing the AOA as a stakeholder, I am sure that we discussed this initial fitting to mean the same thing that we mean with the first fitting of a 9231x code. Q: What’s the best way to handle ongoing contact lens evaluation charges, since the 92072 is covered only once? Do we just charge the patient out-of-pocket? A: All follow-up visits are, essentially, evaluations of the underlying condition in the presence of the contact lens. As directed by the preamble to the 9231x codes and the sub-text of the 92072 code, these visits are billed as covered services to the patient’s insurance carrier using the CPT code and the appropriate ICD-9-DM code for the service provided."

SAP DMS is a major component of the SAP PLM solution. If a company is using SAP software, business processes such as manufacturing, sales, purchasing, engineering, and finance are likely being executed and managed within the SAP system. When selecting which documents to manage within SAP DMS, you should select documents that support such business processes. Key documents are then gathered into one location where the business process is being executed. This makes the data more widely available and less difficult to find, and allows updates to be managed in a controlled manner.

It is also one of the most studied but least understood pharmaceutical agents of our time--at least in the United States. According to Stanley Jacob, MD, a former head of the organ transplant program at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, more than 40,000 articles on its chemistry have appeared in scientific journals, which, in conjunction with thousands of laboratory studies, provide strong evidence of a wide variety of properties. ( See Major Properties Attributed to DMSO) Worldwide, some 11,000 articles have been written on its medical and clinical implications, and in 125 countries throughout the world, including Canada, Great Britain, Germany, and Japan, doctors prescribe it for a variety of ailments, including pain, inflammation, scleroderma, interstitial cystitis, and arthritis elevated intercranial pressure. Yet in the United States, DMSO has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval only for use as a preservative of organs for transplant and for interstitial cystitis, a bladder disease. It has fallen out of the limelight and out of the mainstream of medical discourse, leading some to believe that it was discredited. The truth is more complicated. DMSO: A History of Controversy The history of DMSO as a pharmaceutical began in 1961, when Dr. Jacob was head of the organ transplant program at Oregon Health Sciences University. It all started when he first picked up a bottle of the colorless liquid. While investigating its potential as a preservative for organs, he quickly discovered that it penetrated the skin quickly and deeply without damaging it."

Calcium Pickle Juice Pinching Your Lip DMSOCalcium I believe that 90 percent of muscle cramps are caused by calcium deficiency. If you are already taking calcium supplements every day, but you still have cramps and spasms, you probably need to switch supplements. There are hundreds of calcium supplements on the market, but the ones that are most useful to your body contain other elements along with calcium. Look for a product that contains the digestive acid betaine hydrochloride, magnesium, and vitamin D. Each of these will help increase the amount of calcium you assimilate into your system. Back to Top Pickle Juice Years ago, one of my newsletter subscribers, Dan. P. from Duncanville, Texas, wrote to tell me about this technique for stopping muscle cramps:\"\"Players on the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team [were] drink [ing] two ounces of pickle juice before football games to prevent muscle cramps and improve their performance.

"text": "Buyer be Aware: DMSO has a Down Side There are risks with super efficient delivery through the skin. Q: I keep reading in another health newsletter about a “miracle” pain reliever called DMSO. Does it really work and is it safe? A: There’s a lot of conflicting information, scientific and otherwise, about dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), an organic solvent. It’s used in manufacturing processes and is widely used in medical research to protect frozen tissues such as stem cells. It’s a potent free radical scavenger (antioxidant) and anti-inflammatory. Although it’s approved for medical use in dogs and horses, and is approved for treating interstitial cystitis in humans, the FDA has steadfastly refused to approve it for topical (skin) use in humans. DMSO has a low toxicity rating and may very well be a “miracle” pain reliever and have many other beneficial uses, but its biggest plus is also its biggest minus—it quickly and super-effectively delivers substances through the skin and into the bloodstream, and magnifies or “potentiates” their effects. This can be beneficial in some situations, but potentially very harmful in others, and that’s likely why the research on DMSO is so contradictory. DMSO’s super efficient through-the-skin delivery means that it has to be extremely pure to be safe."

As a possible mode of action, the compounds were in vitro evaluated as 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) inhibitors. The most active compounds ( 3 and 4) were docked into the crystal structure of 11β-HSD1. Docking results indicate potential hydrogen bond interactions with catalytic amino acid residues.

Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is very common and may result from insulin resistance, inadequate secretion of insulin, hepatic glucose overproduction or glucose intolerance. 1Recent estimates from the year 2000 indicate that there are 171 million people in the world with diabetes and this is projected to increase to 366 million by 2030. 1 Diabetes may eventually cause microvascular damage in key tissues leading to conditions such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. It is associated with reduced life expectancy, significant morbidity due to specific diabetes-related microvascular complications, increased risk of macrovascular complications (ischemic heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease), and diminished quality of life."

"text": "\"Tweet (Natural News) DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) is a natural product from trees that relieves muscle and joint pain, treats bladder inflammation and protects healthy cells from cancer and chemotherapy drugs. DMSO was on track to becoming a major cancer treatment and promising cure for other ailments until it was shut down in 1960s due to ridiculous \"\"safety\"\" concerns that may not have even related to DMSO usage. This inexpensive, natural substance was merely another victim of the drug companies' greed; the companies that work to discredit any readily available, cheap cure. However, DMSO did not go away and is available in liquid, gel or roll-on form at feed stores because it is approved as an anti-inflammatory treatment for horses. People discovered that DMSO could protect cells from freezing damage in the 1950s. DMSO was hailed as a miracle cure in the 1960s and clinical trials began. The FDA found an excuse to reject DMSO use when a study in 1965 found that giving enormous amounts to dogs, rabbits and pigs may have caused small, insignificant changes in the animals' eye lens. The changes caused mild nearsightedness after six months that did not affect the animals' lives. No evidence of cataracts has been seen in tests with humans, or since with animals, and all changes disappeared after the huge amounts of DMSO were no longer used. Despite this \"\"compelling\"\" evidence of \"\"safety\"\" concerns, DMSO was approved for use on horses and dogs in the 1970s."

Brobyn Bainbridge Medical Center Bainbridge Island, Washington INTRODUCTIONOn November 11, 1965, research on DMSO in the United States came to an abrupt halt. A conference between the Food and Drug Administration and the pharmaceutical companies who were involved in the research was called because lens changes had been observed in a number of mammalian species. No changes ha been observed in man or any primates. The FDA and the pharmaceutical companies agreed, because there had been no pretreatment examinations of eyes and a large number of patients were under therapy, to discontinue the clinical studies: Somehow, at this time, DMSO gained a reputation of extreme toxicity, comparable to that of thalidomide and some other drugs that had previously run into major toxicology problems. Many of us in the pharmaceutical industry felt that this reputation was undeserved. A refractive index change in the lens (not an opacity) had been observed after ? months at a dose of approximately 5 g/kg in dogs, rabbits, and pigs. No microscopic or chemical differences could be found between the lenses of the treated animals am the controls. In the affected animals, there appeared two distinct zones of different refraction.

Home remedies for lipomas include apple cider vinegar, the spice turmeric and burdock root. Dietary changes can also help, such as avoiding soy or foods containing MSG and artificial sweeteners. A lipoma or fat deposit is a slow-developing growth of fat this is usually located beneath the skin and above the muscle. Lipomas are typically easy to identify as the deposits move easily with light finger pressure and feel “doughy” or pliable to the touch. A lipoma is not cancerous and is usually harmless; however, some deposits may be painful or continue to grow. They can also be cosmetically discouraging to those who are plagued with them. While some people have just a few lipomas, others have dozens or even hundreds of them. The exact cause of lipomas is unknown; however, obesity is not the root cause of the deposits. Lipomas do typically tend to run in families, however, so the cause likely has genetic underpinnings."

"text": "How Does Sulfur Help the Body?by MELODIE ANNE Oct. 03, 2017Sulfur is a naturally occurring element that has several benefits on your health. Supplemental sulfur comes in two forms: dimethyl sulfoxide and methylsulfonylmethane, or DMSO and MSM. DMSO is a chemical byproduct of paper manufacturing, but has been approved by the FDA for medicinal purposes. MSM occurs naturally in some plants, fruits and vegetables, explains the University of Maryland Medical Center. Both types of sulfur are important, but you should inform your physician, as a precaution, if you decide to use a supplement. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Functions Sulfur is a part of some of the amino acids in your body and is involved in protein synthesis, as well as several enzyme reactions It helps with the production of collagen, which is a substance that forms connective tissues, cell structure and artery walls. Additionally, it is a part of keratin, giving strength to hair, skin and nails. Arthritis According to the University of Maryland, sulfur has been shown to be effective for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. Sulfur baths or mud-soaks can help alleviate the painful swelling caused by arthritis. Taking a sulfur bath at night can reduce stiffness you experience first thing in the morning."

Deuterated DMSO is a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy. Production [ edit]Deuterated DMSO is produced by heating DMSO in heavy water (D 2 O) with a basic catalyst such as calcium oxide. The reaction does not give complete conversion to the d 6 product, and the water produced must be removed and replaced with D 2 O several times to drive the equilibrium to the fully deuterated product. [ 1]Use in NMR spectroscopy [ edit]Pure deuterated DMSO shows no peaks in 1 H NMR spectroscopy and as a result is commonly used as an NMR solvent. However commercially available samples are not 100% pure and a residual DMSO-d 6 1 H NMR signal is observed at 2.50ppm (quintet, J HD =1.9Hz). The 13 C chemical shift of DMSO-d 6 is 39.52ppm (septet). [ 2]References [ edit]^ Fruhstorfer, Wolfgang; Hampel, Bruno, (E.

These mechanisms include factors that lead to perturbation of the mitochondria leading to leakage of cytochrome c or factors that directly activate members of the death receptor family. Fas is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily, a family of transmembrane receptors that include neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), TNF-R1, and a variety of other cell surface receptors. Fas Ligand (Fas L) transmits signals to Fas on a target cell by inducing trimerization of Fas. Activation of Fas causes the recruitment of Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) via interactions between the death domain of Fas and FADD and is followed by pro-caspase-8 binding to FADD via interactions between the death effector domains (DED) of FADD and pro-caspase-8 leading to the activation of caspase-8. Activation of caspase-8 leads to the activation of other caspases, in effect beginning a caspase cascade that ultimately leads to apoptosis. Caspase-8 activation can also activate Bid, leading to activation of the apoptotic program. Fas-induced apoptosis can be effectively blocked at several stages by either FLICE-inhibitory protein (FLIP), by Bcl-2, or by the cytokine response modifier A (Crm A). In addition, activation of caspase-3 by caspase-9 can be blocked by inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). Moreover, the protein kinase, Akt, can be activated by various growth factors and its activity can be blocked by PTEN."

"text": "\"Abstract Intravesical dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been used in the treatment of 213 patients with various inflammatory conditions involving the lower genitourinary tract, including intractable interstitial cystitis, radiation cystitis, chronic prostatitis, and chronic female trigonitis. Significant symptomatic relief has been achieved in the majority of patients so treated, and no systemic or local toxicity has been noted. Some patients failed to respond entirely, and others relapsed after DMSO treatment periods of several months, ultimately coming to augmentation cystoplasty or urinary diversion. However, because of its simplicity and ease of administration, intravesical DMSO therapy is recommended in all noninfectious or non-neoplastic inflammatory conditions presenting initially with severe symptoms, or that have failed to respond to conventional therapy. Discussion Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was first synthesized in 1867, has been available as a byproduct of the paper pulp industry for many years, and is now used chiefly as an industrial solvent. In 1964 Jacob, Bischel, and Herschler 1 first described the remarkable medicinal properties of DMSO. When applied to intact human skin, the drug penetrates rapidly and produces a wide range of pharmacologic actions, including antiinflammation, local analgesia, bacteriostasis, diuresis, cholinesterase inhibition, enhancement of the action of concomitantly adininistered drugs, influence on collagen, nonspeciflc enhancement of immunity, vasodilation, and lessening of adhesiveness of blood platelets. 2 As a result the drug has been used widely as treatment for various conditions, including arthritis, bursitis, acute musculoskeletal trauma, scleroderma, troublesome urogenital disorders, and various postoperative pain syndromes. To date little, if any, local or systemic toxicity has been noted in the human after the administration of DMSO. 3Experience with the intravesical installation of dimethyl sulfoxide in patients with classic interstitial cystitis has recently been reported, with effective symptomatic relief achieved in about two thirds of the patients so treated."

Jacob and Robert Herschler Department of Surgery • Oregon Health Science University • Portland, Oregon 97201Abstract A wide range of primary pharmacological actions of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been documented in laboratory studies: membrane transport, effects on connective tissue, anti-inflammation, nerve blockade (analgesia), bacteriostasis, diuresis, enhancements or reduction of the effectiveness of other drugs, cholinesterase inhibition, nonspecific enhancement of resistance to infection, vasodilation, muscle relaxation, antagonism to platelet aggregation, and influence on serum cholesterol in emperimental hypercholesterolemia. This substance induces differntiation and function of leukemic and other malignant cells. DMSO also has prophylactic radioprotective properties and cryoprotective actions. It protects against ischemic injury. ( 1986 Academic Press, Inc.)The pharmacologic actions of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have stimulated much research. The purpose of this report is to summarize current concepts in this area. When the theorectical basis of DMSO action is described, we can list literally dozens of primary pharmacologic actions. This relatively brief summary will touch on only a few: (A) membrane penetration (B) membrane transport (C) effects on connective tissue (D) anti-inflamation (E) nerve blockade (analgesia) (F) bacteriostasis (G) diuresis (H) enhancement or reduction of effectiveness of other drugs (I) cholinsterase inhibition (J) nonspecific enhancement of resistance of infection (K) vasodilation (L) muscle relaxation (M) enhancement of cell differentiation and function (N) antagonism to platelet aggregation (O) influence on serum cholesterol in experimental hypercholesterolemia (P) radio-protective and cryoprotective actions (Q) protection against ischemic injury Primary Pharmocological Actions A.

It can also be mixed into a cream, lotion, or ointment for some medical purposes. The chemical is often applied topically in a solution of 70-percent DMSO to 30-percent water. The most distinctive property of DMSO is being able to quickly penetrate the skin. It can be used as a vehicle for delivering drugs such as penicillin and medical morphine through the skin. This may be a viable alternative to intravenous (IV) drug delivery. DMSO products are approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) for treating interstitial cystitis only. Interstitial cystitis is a type of painful bladder infection. Treating this condition with the chemical requires a doctor to administer DMSO through a catheter into the bladder."

"text": "DMSO Treatment Relieves Joint & Muscle Pain Dr. Julian Whitaker Share If joint and/or muscle pain is interfering with your quality of life, I suggest you give dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) a try. DMSO is an exceptionally versatile therapy. For starters, it’s one of the few compounds that can be administered orally, intravenously, intramuscularly, or topically. Rubbed on the skin—the most common method of DMSO treatment—it is quickly absorbed into the deeper tissues. And when it’s mixed with other substances, DMSO efficiently delivers them into the underlying area where they’re needed. DMSO treaments can improve penetration of antifungals when treating stubborn toenail fungus and enhance absorption of topical pain-relieving drugs. But DMSO is much more than a carrier—it’s a potent anti-inflammatory in its own right that helps relieve any kind of joint or muscle pain. I know from personal experience that it works for sprains, strains, and joint and muscle aches. During my marathon days, I used a DMSO treatment regularly on my Achilles’ tendon, and it was a lifesaver for my aching knees when I was into long-distance cycling. Why is it so effective?"

Inflammation of the bladder is called cystitis. When the inflammation is caused by bacterial infection, it is referred to as bacterial cystitis or just cystitis. Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a condition that causes pain and inflammation in the bladder when no infection is found. ( Other causes of noninfectious inflammation of the bladder are also possible. ) Inflammation of the bladder causes urinary frequency (frequent need to urinate), urgency (urgent need to urinate), pelvic pain, painful urination, incontinence, and nocturia (frequent need to urinate at night). Long-term inflammation of the bladder in people with IC can lead to scarring and stiffening of the bladder wall, which causes a decrease in the bladder capacity. Pinpoint areas of bleeding, called glomerulations or large ulcers, may occur in the lining of the bladder wall. IC is believed to be a syndrome initially presenting with mild symptoms and progressing to severe urgency and pelvic pain. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), IC is more common in women."

Hapal BS IOP 4-2 Submitted to: Sir Dennis Macapagal Background of the Study: Since DNA is the blueprint for life, everything living contains DNA. DNA isolation is one of the most basic and essential techniques in the study of DNA. The extraction of DNA from cells and its purification are of primary importance to the field of biotechnology and forensics. Extraction and purification of DNA are the first steps in the analysis and manipulation of DNA that allow scientists to detect genetic disorders, produce DNA fingerprints of individuals, and even create genetically engineered organisms that can produce beneficial products such as insulin, antibiotics, and hormones. DNA isolation is a routine procedure to collect DNA for subsequent molecular or forensic analysis. DNA can be extracted from many types of cells. The first step is to lyse or break open the cell. This can be done by grinding a piece of tissue in a blender. After the cells have broken open, a salt solution such as Na Cl and a detergent solution containing the compound SDS (sodiumdodecyl sulfate) is added. These solutions break down and emulsify the fat & proteins that make up a cell membrane."

Y chromosome because all Y chromosomes are passed through sperm; spermatogenesis occurs throughout a man's lifetime, undergoing many rounds of cell division including DNA replication, providing increased opportunity for new mutations as opposed to the X chromosome which is mostly passed through the female lineage On which type of chromosome (A, X, or Y) would you expect the least number of mutations per base pair? Why? X chromosome, 2/3 of X chromosomes are transmitted through the female lineage which has a lower mutation rate than the male lineage For young men of age 20, there have been 150 rounds of DNA replication during sperm production as compared with only 23 rounds for a woman of age 20. That is a 6.5-fold greater number of cell divisions and proportionately greater opportunity for new point mutations. Yet, on average, 20-year-old men contribute only about twice as many new point mutations to their offspring as do women. How can you explain this discrepancy? Hypothetically, sperm cells are physiologically weak and their normal function is easily disrupted by mutations."

"text": "Replication of DNAHaving considered the way in which cells pack DNA into nuclei, we now turn to the process by which the DNA strands are copied by cells prior to cell division. Preparation: You have learned a simple outline of the replication process in basic biology and you should have reviewed DNA structure in recitation. I am providing below a list of terms that you should have encountered by this time. If you do not clearly understand these terms and what they have to do with DNA replication, then you will have trouble with understanding the more detailed aspects of this process. If, after reviewing these terms, you are still not clear about them, please talk to me or to the TA and make sure you understand. What is - a template - a 5' end, a 3' end (of a DNA molecule) - DNA polymerase - a deoxynucleotide (abbreviated d NTP) - a replication fork/ replication bubble - a primer - a leading strand - a lagging strand - DNA ligase (sometimes simply referred to as ligase). - The direction of new DNA synthesis********************************************************************************************Each time a cell divides, the DNA must be copied exactly and the two copies partitioned correctly between the two new cells. Consider the challenges facing the cell in this process:-A double-helical molecule must be unwound -This unwinding must be accomplished without introducing topological distortion -The unwound single strands of DNA must be kept from coming back together long enough for the new strands to be synthesized. -The 5' to 3' elongation of the strands means that the two strands are being copied in opposite directions. -The use of RNA primers results in loss of information at the ends of linear molecules with each round of replication."

It's difficult to sum up all the significance together but still it's worth trying. DNA replication, the process by which genetic information is duplicated, occurs in order to ensure that each cell in an organism has a complete and correct copy of the organism's genome, or \"\"library\"\" of genetic data. This occurs during each instance of cell division, the process by which a single cell divides into two cells. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a chemical chain that exists in the shape of a double helix. The arrangement of the component parts, or nucleotides, of DNA provide coded instructions that govern almost every process that occurs within an organism. The process of DNA replication ensures that each cell contains a copy of these instructions and is, accordingly, able to function correctly within the organism."

Answer by Nitrousoxide Confidence votes 56Chromatin is found inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Chromatin stains easily and thus from this fact it gets its name, Chromatin means 'Coloured material'. Chromatin is basically coils of DNA (Deoxyribonucleicacid) bound to protein called histone. Chromosomes during the cycle of Interphase, take form of chromatin. Chromatin condenses during cell division to form the Chromosomes. Chromatin usually loosens up and scatters and is called euchromatin and some donot loosen up and stay tightly coiled, called heterochromatin. Hope this explanation helps.

Nucleases play a vital role in analyzing the sequence of nucleotides in DNA and RNA. Exonuclease Exonuclease enzymes are a category of enzymes that cleave to the nucleotides at the ends of the DNA molecule. The two strands of DNA are complementary to each other. They are represented as 3’ and 5’ arms. The phosphodiester bridges of DNA and RNA are attacked by two classes of enzymes which are represented as “a” and “b.” The enzymes of group “a” specifically hydrolyze the ester linkage between 3’ carbon, and the phosphoric group and the enzymes of group “b” hydrolyze the ester linkage between 5’ carbon and the phosphoric group. A good example of a group “a” exonuclease enzyme is the venom of a rattlesnake and Russell’s viper. This venom hydrolyzes all the 3’ bonds in DNA or RNA liberating the nucleotides units as nucleoside 5’ phosphates. The class “b” enzymes are represented by the spleen’s phosphodiesterase which hydrolyzes all the “b” or 5’ linkages of both DNA and RNA and thus liberates only nucleoside 3’ phosphates. Endonuclease Endonuclease enzymes are enzymes that cleave to the bonds of the DNA from within the molecule."

"text": "The discovery and development of high-fidelity polymerases has for many years been a key focus at New England Biolabs (NEB). Highfidelity amplification is essential for experiments whose outcome depends upon the correct DNA sequence (e.g., cloning, SNP analysis, NGS applications). Whereas traditional fidelity assays are sufficient for Taq and other moderately faithful enzymes, Q5, an ultra highfidelity enzyme, pushes the limits of current methods used to assess this critical feature of DNA polymerases. John A. Pezza, Ph. D., Rebecca Kucera, M. S.,Luo Sun, Ph. D., New England Biolabs, Inc. Introduction: What is fidelity? The fidelity of a DNA polymerase is the result of accurate replication of a desired template. Specifically, this involves multiple steps, including the ability to read a template strand, select the appropriate nucleoside triphosphate and insert the correct nucleotide at the 3´ primer terminus, such that Watson-Crick base pairing is maintained. In addition to effective discrimination of correct versus incorrect nucleotide incorporation, some DNA polymerases possess a 3´→5´ exonuclease activity. This activity, known as “proofreading”, is used to excise incorrectly incorporated mononucleotides that are then replaced with the correct nucleotide."

Structurally and functionally, the prokaryotic chromosome contains one copy of most genes as well as DNA regions that control expression of these genes. Prokaryotic gene expression depends primarily upon a cell’s moment-to-moment needs. An entire prokaryotic chromosome, its genome, usually encodes about one thousand genes. The genomes of eukaryotes are much more complex and may include 100,000 or more genes. The number of chromosomes in different types of eukaryotes can range from just a few to several hundred.

"text": "Normal Function The WRN gene provides instructions for producing the Werner protein, which plays a critical role in repairing damaged DNA. The Werner protein functions as a type of enzyme called a helicase. Helicase enzymes generally unwind and separate double-stranded DNA. The Werner protein also functions as an enzyme called an exonuclease. Exonucleases trim the broken ends of damaged DNA by removing DNA building blocks (nucleotides). Research suggests that the Werner protein first unwinds the DNA and then removes abnormal DNA structures that have been accidentally generated. Overall, the Werner protein helps maintain the structure and integrity of a person's DNA. This protein plays an important role in copying (replicating) DNA before cell division and transferring the information in genes to the cell machinery that makes proteins (transcription). Additionally, recent studies suggest that the Werner protein may be particularly important for maintaining DNA at the ends of chromosomes (telomeres). Related Information What is DNA?"

E. coli DNA Polymerase I, the first DNA polymerase discovered was not the primary replicative polymerase, but instead one involved in Okazaki fragment resolution and DNA repair. This foreshadowed future discoveries of many DNA polymerase families, each serving specific cellular requirements.

Additional polymerase applications include DNA labeling, sequencing and amplification.

"text": "DNA Replication As discussed in Chapter 3, DNA replication is a semiconservative process in which each parental strand serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary daughter strand. The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (d NTPs) to form the growing DNA chain. However, DNA replication is much more complex than a single enzymatic reaction. Other proteins are involved, and proofreading mechanisms are required to ensure that the accuracy of replication is compatible with the low frequency of errors that is needed for cell reproduction. Additional proteins and specific DNA sequences are also needed both to initiate replication and to copy the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Go to: DNA Polymerases DNA polymerase was first identified in lysates of E. coli by Arthur Kornberg in 1956. The ability of this enzyme to accurately copy a DNA template provided a biochemical basis for the mode of DNA replication that was initially proposed by Watson and Crick, so its isolation represented a landmark discovery in molecular biology. Ironically, however, this first DNA polymerase to be identified (now called DNA polymerase I) is not the major enzyme responsible for E. coli DNA replication. Instead, it is now clear that both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain several different DNA polymerases that play distinct roles in the replication and repair of DNA. The multiplicity of DNA polymerases was first revealed by the isolation of a mutant strain of E. coli that was deficient in polymerase I ( Figure 5.1 )."

Dislocations between a replicating strand and its template at repetitive DNA sequences underlie the mechanism of these genetic events. Such misalignments can be transient or stable and can involve intramolecular or intermolecular DNA mispairing, even pairing across a replication fork. Paradoxically, these replication ‘slippage’ events both create and destroy repetitive sequences in bacterial genomes. This review catalogues several types of slippage errors, presents the cellular processes that act to limit them and discusses the consequences of this class of genetic events on the evolution of bacterial genomes and physiology.

"text": "\"CHAPTER 5DNA REPLICATION I: Enzymes and mechanism A fundamental property of living organisms is their ability to reproduce. Bacteria and fungi can divide to produce daughter cells that are identical to the parental cells. Sexually reproducing organisms produce offspring that are similar to themselves. On a cellular level, this reproduction occurs by mitosis, the process by which a single parental cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. In the germ line of sexually reproducing organisms, a parental cell with a diploid genome produces four germ cells with a haploid genome via a specialized process called meiosis. In both of these processes, the genetic material must be duplicated prior to cell division so that the daughter cells receive a full complement of the genetic information. Thus accurate and complete replication of the DNA is essential to the ability of a cell organism to reproduce. In this chapter and the next, we will examine the process of replication. After describing the basic mechanism of DNA replication, we discuss the various techniques researchers have used to achieve a more complete understanding of replication. Indeed, a theme of this chapter is the combination of genetic and biochemical approaches that has allowed us to uncover the mechanism and physiology of DNA replication."

[ 1] If a mismatch is accidentally incorporated, the polymerase is inhibited from further extension. Proofreading removes the mismatched nucleotide and extension continues. DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA; it is the basis for biological inheritance. The process starts with one double-stranded DNA molecule and produces two identical copies of the molecule. Each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as template for the production of the complementary strand. Cellular proofreading and error toe-checking mechanisms ensure near perfect fidelity for DNA replication. In a cell, DNA replication begins at specific locations in the genome, called \"\"origins\"\". Unwinding of DNA at the origin, and synthesis of new strands, forms a replication fork. In addition to DNA polymerase, the enzyme that synthesizes the new DNA by adding nucleotides matched to the template strand, a number of other proteins are associated with the fork and assist in the initiation and continuation of DNA synthesis."

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

"text": "The Basics: How Phenol Extraction of DNA Works By Dr Nick Oswald Phenol extraction is a commonly used method for removing proteins from a DNA sample, e.g. to remove proteins from cell lysate during genomic DNA preparation. It’s commonly used, but not commonly understood. If you want to know how it works so you can show off to all of your friends… read on. The basic protocol I’ll start with a quick outline of how the procedure is performed. First, a volume of phenol is added to the aqueous soup containing the proteins and the DNA to be purified. Since phenol and water are immiscible, two phases form: a water (a.k.a. aqueous) phase and a phenol phase. Phenol is the more dense of the two liquids so it sits on the bottom. The phases are then mixed thoroughly. This forces the phenol into the water layer where it forms an emulsion of droplets throughout."

"text": "\"CHAPTER 7MUTATION AND REPAIR OF DNAMost biological molecules have a limited lifetime. Many proteins, lipids and RNAs are degraded when they are no longer needed or damaged, and smaller molecules such as sugars are metabolized to compounds to make or store energy. In contrast, DNA is the most stable biological molecule known, befitting its role in storage of genetic information. The DNA is passed from one generation to another, and it is degraded only when cells die. However, it can change, i.e. it is mutable. Mutations, or changes in the nucleotide sequence, can result from errors during DNA replication, from covalent changes in structure because of reaction with chemical or physical agents in the environment, or from transposition. Most of the sequence alterations are repaired in cells. Some of the major avenues for changing DNA sequences and repairing those mutations will be discussed in this chapter. Sequence alteration in the genomic DNA is the fuel driving the course of evolution. Without such mutations, no changes would occur in populations of species to allow them to adapt to changes in the environment."

Hapal BS IOP 4-2 Submitted to: Sir Dennis Macapagal Background of the Study: Since DNA is the blueprint for life, everything living contains DNA. DNA isolation is one of the most basic and essential techniques in the study of DNA. The extraction of DNA from cells and its purification are of primary importance to the field of biotechnology and forensics. Extraction and purification of DNA are the first steps in the analysis and manipulation of DNA that allow scientists to detect genetic disorders, produce DNA fingerprints of individuals, and even create genetically engineered organisms that can produce beneficial products such as insulin, antibiotics, and hormones. DNA isolation is a routine procedure to collect DNA for subsequent molecular or forensic analysis. DNA can be extracted from many types of cells. The first step is to lyse or break open the cell. This can be done by grinding a piece of tissue in a blender. After the cells have broken open, a salt solution such as Na Cl and a detergent solution containing the compound SDS (sodiumdodecyl sulfate) is added. These solutions break down and emulsify the fat & proteins that make up a cell membrane."

As others said above, DNA precipitates in alcohol. After you've purified the DNA, you add alcohol in order to make it drop out of solution. Then spin it down in a centrifuge and typically wash the pellet with diluted alcohol to remove any residual salt. At that point you can dissolve the purified DNA pellet in a small volume that's convenient for future experiments with it.

( People Images/i Stock)By Viviane Calliersmithsonian.com September 2, 2015Mothers around the world say they feel like their children are still a part of them long after they’ve given birth. As it turns out, that is literally true. During pregnancy, cells from the fetus cross the placenta and enter the mother’s body, where they can become part of her tissues. This cellular invasion means that mothers carry unique genetic material from their children’s bodies, creating what biologists call a microchimera, named after the legendary beasts made of different animals. The phenomenon is widespread among mammals, and scientists have proposed a number of theories for how it affects the mother, from better wound healing to higher risk of cancer. Now a team of biologists argues that to really understand what microchimerism does to moms, we need to figure out why it evolved in the first place. “What we are hoping to do is not only provide an evolutionary framework for understanding how and why microchimerism came to be, but also to assess how this affects health,” says lead author Amy Boddy, a geneticist at Arizona State University. Maternal-fetal conflict has its origins with the very first placental mammals millions of years ago. Over evolutionary time, the fetus has evolved to manipulate the mother’s physiology and increase the transfer of resources like nutrition and heat to the developing child."

In an article in the journal Cell, a team of German and American researchers led by Svante Pääbo (Krings et al. 1997) claimed to have extracted mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) from a piece of bone cut from the upper arm of the first recognised Neandertal fossil, the individual found at the Feldhofer grotto in the Neander Valley in Germany in 1856 (Kahn and Gibbons 1997, Ward and Stringer 1997). What is the significance of this study? What is mitochondrial DNA? DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the gigantic molecule which is used to encode genetic information for all life on Earth. DNA molecules consists of a long strand of base molecules arranged in the form of a double helix. The bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine, often abbreviated as A, G, C, and T. What we ordinarily think of as \"\"our\"\" DNA, because it controls most aspects of our physical appearance, is also known as \"\"nuclear DNA\"\", because every cell in our bodies contains two copies of it in the cell nucleus. Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) are small energy-producing organelles found in cells. Surprisingly, mitochondria have their own DNA molecules, entirely separate from our nuclear DNA."

"text": "Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: DNA gyrase DNA gyrase, often referred to simply as gyrase, is an enzyme that relieves strain while double-stranded DNA is being unwound by helicase. This causes negative supercoiling of the DNA. Bacterial DNA gyrase is the target of many antibiotics, including nalidixic acid, novobiocin, and ciprofloxacin. DNA gyrase is a type II topoisomerase that introduces negative supercoils into DNA by looping the template so as to form a crossing, then cutting one of the double helices and passing the other through it before releasing the break, changing the linking number by two in each enzymatic step. This process occurs in prokaryotes, whose single circular DNA is cut by DNA gyrase and the two ends are then twisted around each other to form supercoils. Very recently, gyrase has been found in the apicoplast of the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum, a unicellular eukaryote. The unique ability of gyrase to introduce negative supercoils into DNA is what allows bacterial DNA to have free negative supercoils. The ability of gyrase to relax positive supercoils comes into play during DNA replication. The right-handed nature of the DNA double helix causes positive supercoils to accumulate ahead of a translocating enzyme, in the case of DNA replication, a DNA polymerase. The ability of gyrase to relax positive supercoils allows superhelical tension ahead of the polymerase to be released so that replication can continue."

"text": "DNA Topoisomerase Functions of DNA Topoisomerases There are a number of different types of topoisomerases, each specialising in a different aspect of DNA manipulation. Accessing DNADuring transcription and DNA replication, the DNA needs to be unwound in order for the transcription/replication machinery to gain access to the DNA so it can be copied or replicate, respectively. Topoisomerase I can make single-stranded breaks to allow these processes to proceed. Removing DNA Supercoils During transcription and DNA replication, the DNA helix can become either over-wound or under-wound. For instance, during DNA replication, the progress of the replication fork generates positive supercoils ahead of the replication machinery and negative supercoils behind it. Such tensional problems also exist when transcribing DNA to make an RNA copy for protein synthesis. During these processes, the DNA can be supercoiled to such an extent that if left unchecked it could impede the progress of the protein machinery involved. This is prevented by topoisomerase I, which makes single-stranded nicks to relax the helix. Strand Breakage during Recombination Before the chromosomes separate from one another during cell division, they are able to exchange genetic information through a process known as recombination, where physical pieces of DNA on one chromosome can be swapped for DNA on the matching sister chromosome in order to shuffle the genetic information. Topoisomerase III can introduce single-strand breaks that are required for DNA to be exchanged by adjacent chromosomes."

In molecular biology, DNA replication is the biological process of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule. This process occurs in all living organisms and is the basis for biological inheritance. The cell possesses the distinctive property of division, which makes replication of DNA essential. DNA is made up of a double helix of two complementary strands. During replication, these strands are separated.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends ciprofloxacin or doxycycline.

[ 15] Treatment duration is 60 days, but safety has not been evaluated beyond 14 days. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding can use amoxicillin. Resistance exists to third-generation cephalosporins, trimethoprim, and sulfisoxazole. For patients with severe anthrax, therapy with corticosteroids and intravenous antibiotics is recommended. Individuals with inhalational anthrax should receive a multidrug regimen of either ciprofloxacin or doxycycline along with at least one more agent, including a quinolone, rifampin, tetracycline, vancomycin, imipenem, meropenem, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, or an aminoglycoside."

Share Email Print Feedback Medication Summary An oral tetracycline administered for at least 7 days historically has been the drug of choice for urogenital infections due to M hominis, but resistance due to ribosomal modification now occurs in 20-40% of isolates. A survey performed in several states between 2000 and 2004 detected tetracycline resistance in 45% of Ureaplasma isolates, indicating that the susceptibility of these organisms can no longer be assumed. [ 1] The degree of resistance may vary according to geographic area, patient population, and previous exposure to antimicrobial agents. If tetracyclines are relied upon as first-line drugs, consider alternative agents in the event of treatment failures. In vitro susceptibility testing is sometimes indicated for Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma species recovered from a normally sterile body site, from hosts who are immunocompromised, or from persons who have not responded to initial treatment. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for doxycycline are typically lower than those of tetracycline against these organisms. Clindamycin is an alternative treatment for tetracycline-resistant M hominis but is much less effective against Ureaplasma species. Macrolides, fluoroquinolones, or tetracyclines are the DOCs for Ureaplasma infections. Although tetracycline resistance is described in Ureaplasma species, high-level erythromycin resistance is uncommon, although it has been described in the United States and elsewhere due to ribosomal modification. [ 11, 12] A single 1-g dose of azithromycin is approved for treatment of urethritis due to Chlamydia trachomatis and works as well clinically as 7 days of doxycycline in persons with urethritis due to Ureaplasma species."

"text": "Mechanism of DNA replication Watson and Crick first reasoned that complementary base pairing provides the basis of fidelity in DNAreplication; that is, that each base in the template strand dictates the complementary base in the new strand. However, we now know that the process of DNA replication is very complex and requires the participation of many different components. Let’s examine each of these components and see how they fit together to produce our current picture of DNA synthesis in E. coli, the best-studied cellular replication system. In the preceding section, we introduced the concept of the replication fork. Figure 8-20 gives a detailed schematic view of fork movement during DNA replication; we can refer to this illustration as we consider each component of the process. Figure 8-20DNA replication fork. Go to: DNA polymerases In the late 1950s, Arthur Kornberg successfully identified and purified the first DNA polymerase, an enzyme that catalyzes the replication reaction. This reaction works only with the triphosphate forms of the nucleotides (such as deoxyadenosine triphosphate, or d ATP). The total amount of DNA at the end of the reaction can be as much as 20 times the amount of original input DNA, so most of the DNA present at the end must be progeny DNA. Figure 8-21 depicts the chain-elongation reaction, or polymerization reaction, catalyzed by DNA polymerases."

Can someone describe it in a nutshell when and why it is important during replication? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: During replication, DNA gyrase moves ahead of DNA helicase to relieve the torsional strain that the helicase would otherwise put on the DNA molecule ahead of it. As an example, think about taking a loop of cord or a rubber band, twisting it several times, and then securing each end to maintain the twists. This is the relaxed DNA molecule. If you then insert your finger into one of the twists and start moving your finger in one direction, this separates the two strands just as DNA helicase does. After a point, though, you'll find that separating the strands introduces tremendous strain ahead of your finger as the strands in this region coil tighter and tighter. After a certain point, you either won't be able to unwind the coils anymore, or the cord or rubber band will snap."

"text": "(J. Champoux, 2001) (J. Champoux, 2001)DNA gyrase belongs to a class of enzymes called DNA topoisomerases, the class of DNA enzymes that are responsible for aiding the winding and unwinding of DNA supercoiled helices. Supercoiled helices occur when DNA strands are wound too tightly (positive supercoils) or not wound tightly enough (negative supercoils). Topoisomerases received its name as it only temporarily changes the topology of the DNA, resulting in a chemical isomer of the wound or unwound DNA strands. DNA gyrase is particularly unique because it is the only topoisomerase that can both relax positively supercoiled DNA and introduce negative supercoils into the DNA (most topoisomerases only relieve the positively supercoiled DNA). 1) In 1976, Gellert and his coworkers were attempting to establish Escherichia coli host factors required for bacteriophage wavelength site-specific integration when they discovered an ATP-dependent enzyme that was capable of introducing negative supercoils into chains of DNA, a discovery that changed the way we look at the unwinding and replication of DNA today. 2) DNA gyrase is vital in this replication cycle of DNA in bacteria and other prokaryotes, such as the E. Coli sample Gellert was working with, but are only found in a single species of eukaryotes. This species of eukaryotes is called Plasmodium falciparum, the protozoan parasite that is the main culprit for malaria in humans. Because of this property, gyrase has become a targeted enzyme for antibacterial research. By deactivating the gyrase, the bacteria will die off, and because humans don’t have DNA gyrase, shutting off the gyrase will have no effect on our own cells. 3) Although humans don't have DNA gyrase, another enzyme called topoisomerase II is found in human cells to relieve twisting stress in DNA replication."

"text": "\"Replication DNA is the carrier of genetic information. Before a cell divides, DNA must be precisely copied, or \"\"replicated,\"\" so that each of the two daughter cells can inherit a complete genome, the full set of genes present in the organism. In eukaryotes , the DNA molecules that make up the genome are packaged with proteins into chromosomes, each of which contains a single linear DNA molecule. Eukaryotic chromosomes are found in a special compartment called the cell nucleus. The genomes of bacterial cells ( prokaryotes ), which lack a nucleus, are typically circular DNA molecules that associate with special structures in the cell membrane. Despite the hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history separating eukaryotes and prokaryotes, the features of the replication process have been highly conserved between them. Overview The DNAs that make up the genomes of bacteria and eukaryotic cells are double-stranded molecules in which each strand is composed of subunits called nucleotides. DNA nucleotides have a direction, in the same way that an arrow has a head and a tail. In DNA strands, the head is the 3 ′ (\"\"three prime\"\") end of the strand, and the tail is the 5 ′ (\"\"five prime\"\") end. As a result, each strand also has a direction, whose ends are referred to as the 3 ′ and 5 ′ ends."

By Joseph Castro, Live Science Contributor | March 19, 2014 02:16pm ETMOREMost medicines work by affecting the actions of proteins, which perform important jobs in cells. Credit: Pills photo via Shutterstock Before the 20th century, there were no effective treatments for infections caused by bacteria, including pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, rheumatic fever and urinary tract infections. But in 1929, bacteriologist Alexander Fleming discovered the first true antibiotic, penicillin, ushering in a new age of medicine. Since then, scientists have found dozens of antibiotics, which fight bacteria in a variety of ways. Many antibiotics, including penicillin, work by attacking the cell wall of bacteria. Specifically, the drugs prevent the bacteria from synthesizing a molecule in the cell wall called peptidoglycan, which provides the wall with the strength it needs to survive in the human body. But there are multiple ways to inhibit the assembly of peptidoglycan — vancomycin, for example, also interferes with peptidoglycan, but not in the same way that penicillin does. Other antibiotics prevent successful DNA replication in bacteria. A class of antimicrobials called quinolones targets DNA gyrase, an important enzyme that helps unwind DNA for replication."

This knowledge is particularly important in slow growing organisms, like mycobacteria, where most of the viable anti-tubercular agents are bactericidal. A bactericidal target can be identified through the conditional deletion or inactivation of the target gene at a relatively high cell number and subsequently following the time course of survival for the bacteria. A simple protocol to execute conditional inactivation of a gene is by antisense expression. We have developed a mycobacteria specific IPTG inducible vector system and monitored the effect of antisense inhibition of several known essential genes in mycobacteria by following their survival kinetics. By this method, we could differentiate between genes whose down regulation lead to bacteriostatic or bactericidal effect. Targets for standard anti-tubercular drugs like inh A for isoniazid, rpo B and C for rifampicin, and gyr A/B for flouroquinolones were shown to be bactericidal. In contrast targets like Fts Z behaved in a bacteriostatic manner. Induction of antisense expression in emb B and ribosomal RNA genes, viz.,"

However, during this time a great many genetic discoveries were made and the link between genetics and evolution was made. Friedrich Meischer in 1869 isolated DNA from fish sperm and the pus of open wounds. Since it came from nuclei, Meischer named this new chemical, nuclein. Subsequently the name was changed to nucleic acid and lastly to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Robert Feulgen, in 1914, discovered that fuchsin dye stained DNA. DNA was then found in the nucleus of all eukaryotic cells. During the 1920s, biochemist P. A. Levene analyzed the components of the DNA molecule. He found it contained four nitrogenous bases:cytosine , thymine , adenine , and guanine ; deoxyribose sugar; and a phosphate group.

I am reading the textbook \"\"Essential Cell Biology\"\" by Alberts et al, and am consulting other sources as well. I am reading Chapter 10 about DNA technology and have read how DNA is separated into strands of different lengths by restriction enzymes. The different size strands can then by separated by Gel Electrophoresis. I believe I understand these basics. My question is: Do all strands of the same length have the same sequence of base pairs? I wouldn't think so, and this would be a problem in the next step, determining the sequence of one size fragment by using special base pairs that are lacking a hydroxyl group. Isn't it possible I could have two strands that are 50 base pairs long (for example) that have the same beginning and same end and are thus cut by the restriction enzymes to a length of 50, but are most assuredly not the same within their sequence The text says that once the different size strands are separated by electrophoresis, you can just cut out one of the bands and work with that."

Most reagents bind plasmid DNA in a non‐sequence‐ specific manner, with undefined stoichiometry, and affect DNA charge and delivery properties or involve chemical modifications that abolish gene expression. The design and ability of oligonucleotides (ODNs) containing locked nucleic acids (LNAs) to bind supercoiled, double‐stranded plasmid DNA in a sequence‐specific manner are described for the first time. The main mechanism for LNA ODNs binding plasmid DNA is demonstrated to be by strand displacement. LNA ODNs are more stably bound to plasmid DNA than similar peptide nucleic acid (PNA) ‘clamps’ for procedures such as particle‐mediated DNA delivery (gene gun). It is shown that LNA ODNs remain associated with plasmid DNA after cationic lipid‐mediated transfection into mammalian cells. LNA ODNs can bind to DNA in a sequence‐specific manner so that binding does not interfere with plasmid conformation or gene expression. Attachment of Cp G‐based immune adjuvants to plasmid by ‘hybrid’ phosphorothioate–LNA ODNs induces tumour necrosis factor‐α production in the macrophage cell line RAW264.7. This observation exemplifies an important new, controllable methodology for adding functionality to plasmids for gene delivery and DNA vaccination.

[ 1] Nucleic acid molecules are separated by applying an electric field to move the negatively charged molecules through an agarose matrix. Shorter molecules move faster and migrate farther than longer ones because shorter molecules migrate more easily through the pores of the gel. This phenomenon is called sieving. [ 2] Proteins are separated by charge in agarose because the pores of the gel are too large to sieve proteins. Applications Estimation of the size of DNA molecules following restriction enzyme digestion, e.g. in restriction mapping of cloned DNA. Analysis of PCR products, e.g. in molecular genetic diagnosis or genetic fingerprinting Separation of restricted genomic DNA prior to Southern transfer, or of RNA prior to Northern transfer. Agarose gels are easily cast and handled compared to other matrices and nucleic acids are not chemically altered during electrophoresis. Samples are also easily recovered. After the experiment is finished, the resulting gel can be stored in a plastic bag in a refrigerator."

In this lesson, you will learn how to use a DNA ladder to interpret experimental results. Purpose of Gel Electrophoresis Gel electrophoresis is a laboratory procedure used to separate biological molecules with an electrical current. Previously, we've discussed gel electrophoresis in the context of analyzing DNA. Using an electrical current and a molecule that behaves like gelatin, called agarose, we can separate DNA molecules based on size. Although agarose gel electrophoresis can be used for a variety of purposes, two of the most common uses with respect to DNA are verifying the success of a restriction digest or a ligation step in an experiment. Analyzing a Restriction Digest Agarose gel electrophoresis is an effective means of determining if a restriction digest procedure has been successful. Let's consider a simple example of how this works. Often, scientists want to express a protein in a cell or tissue where it's not normally found."

"text": "\"Sperm Evaluation One of the biggest concerns of couples involved in an infertility work up relates to the status of the male partner's sperm evaluation. While the thorough evaluation of sperm and sperm function should be given high priority in any infertility evaluation, we have found from our web page interactions with patients that often times the couple are told very little related to test results in this area. Or, in other cases, we hear of couples being told about \"\"high numbers\"\" of \"\"abnormal\"\" sperm, or \"\"low\"\" numbers of \"\"good\"\" sperm with little additional information about what those results mean to their chances for conception. Other very concerned couples have sent us copies of original semen analysis reports, having been told of \"\"problems\"\". On review, many of these reports have been printed with very out of date data related to what \"\"normal\"\" fertility test results should be in a fertile man. While there is no substitute for the evaluation of semen and sperm testing results by a highly trained and specialized professional, the truth is that many modern laboratories and even some very well qualified physicians have not kept totally abreast of our changing understanding of sperm function, and our new and evolving views of \"\"fertile\"\" sperm test results. In our laboratory, we arrived at our \"\"normal\"\" values for sperm test results by closely watching the fertility course of the many, many patients that we have tested and followed over the years. If 60% of our male patients with sperm counts of 20 million/ml (considered \"\"low\"\" by many laboratories) are able to produce pregnancies without medical assistance, should a count of 20 million be considered \"\"infertile\"\"? In the 40% of men unable to produce a pregnancy with a count of 20 million/ml, they may indeed have a fertility problem. The point is that there are no absolutes in the area of sperm evaluation."

The researchers say that their method, reported in scientific correspondence to the March 21st issue of the journal Nature, could lead to a practical, low-cost method to screen for any genetic disease where the mutations that cause the disease are known, and occur at no more than a few positions in the DNA. The probe takes advantage of the unique properties of peptide nucleic acid, or PNA, a laboratory-produced mimic of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Strands of the mimic molecule bind more tightly to DNA than DNA does itself. The researchers used that binding property to isolate fragments of DNA containing three different mutations of the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis, using a laboratory separation technique known as free-solution capillary electrophoresis. \"\" With this method we can find single base-pair substitutions and base-pair deletions,\"\" said Stanford chemistry Professor Richard Zare, a co-author of the Nature letter. \"\" That means we now have a genetic probe. \"\" The discovery unfolded over the course of two years of experiments at Stanford and several years of cooperation and conversation - often by e-mail - among scientists in five different countries: chemists Christina Carlsson, Mats Jonsson and Bengt Nordén of Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden; chemists Maria Dulay and Richard Zare of Stanford; theoretical polymer physicist Jaan Noolandi of the Xerox Research Center of Canada in Mississauga; biochemist Peter Nielsen of the Panum Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark; and geneticists Lap-Chee Tsui and Julian Zielenski of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. Heat-tested match-ups A single strand of peptide nucleic acid contains the same four amino acid bases that form the rungs in the double-stranded ladder of DNA: adenine, cytosine, thymine and guanine, or A-C-T-G. When the two halves of the ladder are split apart, PNA binds to DNA just as a strand of DNA would, with A always binding to T and G always binding to C to form base-pairs. However, because PNA has a neutrally charged backbone instead of the negatively charged sugar phosphate backbone of DNA, it binds more tightly than a normal strand of DNA."

The plasmid had a 4878-bp segment of bacteriophage lambda inserted into the Eco R1 site, thus after digest and gel electrophoresis, two bands were expected -- one band for the plasmid (2686-bp) and one band for the insert (4878-bp). Instead, 4 bands appeared on the gel (see lanes 2, 5, 6, and 8 on the attached gel). Just the p UC18 plasmid (2686-bp) is in lanes 3 and 7.

Did you perform the digestion of recombinant p UC18 construct according to optimal conditions? I mean the optimal temperature, buffer, time of restriction reaction etc. As I have two ideas why there are four bands instead of two: 1) incomplete digestion resulting in digested as well as intact p UC18 construct, where the latter exhibits itself on the gel in variety of isoformes each with different mobility; 2) \"\"star activity\"\" of Eco RI endonuclease - under non-optimal conditions Eco RI can exhibit non site-specific cutting - it recognizes also slightly different sequences than 5'-GAATTC-3'.

University of Washington (Copyright 1997-2005)Revised Edition Posted April 6, 2005INTRODUCTIONThe explanation of DNA testing that follows is intended as an introduction to the subject for those who may have limited backgrounds in biological science. While basically accurate, this explanation involves liberal use of illustration and, in some cases, over-simplification. Although intended to be informative, this is brief and incomplete explanation of a complex subject. The author suggests consulting the scientific literature for more rigorous details and alternative views. DNA EXPLAINED IN EASY TERMSDNA is material that governs inheritance of eye color, hair color, stature, bone density and many other human and animal traits. DNA is a long, but narrow string-like object. A one foot long string or strand of DNA is normally packed into a space roughly equal to a cube 1/millionth of an inch on a side. This is possible only because DNA is a very thin string. Our body's cells each contain a complete sample of our DNA."

"text": "Agarose gel electrophoresis (basic method)Background Agarose gel electrophoresis is the easiest and commonest way of separating and analyzing DNA. The purpose of the gel might be to look at the DNA, to quantify it or to isolate a particular band. The DNA is visualised in the gel by addition of ethidium bromide, which is mutagenic, or less-toxic proprietary dyes such as Gel Red, Gel Green, and SYBR Safe. Ethidium bromide and the proprietary dyes bind to DNA and are fluorescent, meaning that they absorb invisible UV light and transmit the energy as visible light. What percentage gel? Most agarose gels are made between 0.7% and 2%. A 0.7% gel will show good separation (resolution) of large DNA fragments (5–10 kb) and a 2% gel will show good resolution for small fragments (0.2–1 kb). Some people go as high as 3% for separating very tiny fragments but a vertical polyacrylamide gel is more appropriate in this case. Low percentage gels are very weak and may break when you try to lift them. High percentage gels are often brittle and do not set evenly."

"text": "Activity 3: Restriction Enzyme digestion - How does it work? Why is it useful? Introduction Special enzymes termed restriction enzymes have been discovered in many different bacteria and other single-celled organisms. These restriction enzymes are able to scan along a length of DNA looking for a particular sequence of bases that they recognize. This recognition site or sequence is generally from 4 to 6 base pairs in length. Once it is located, the enzyme will attach to the DNA molecule and cut each strand of the double helix. The restriction enzyme will continue to do this along the full length of the DNA molecule which will then break into fragments. The size of these fragments is measured in base pairs or kilobase (1000 bases) pairs. Since the recognition site or sequence of base pairs is known for each restriction enzyme, we can use this to form a detailed analysis of the sequence of bases in specific regions of the DNA in which we are interested. In the presence of specific DNA repair enzymes, DNA fragments will reanneal or stick themselves to other fragments with cut ends that are complimentary to their own end sequence."

Lesson Transcript Instructor: Greg Chin In this lesson, you will learn about the role that ethidium bromide, loading buffers, and DNA ladders play in visualizing DNA and determining the size of DNA fragments in agarose gel electrophoresis. Gel Electrophoresis Review Agarose gel electrophoresis plays a critical role in analyzing DNA in laboratory experiments. It is a method of separating biological molecules using an electrical current. We learned previously that DNA molecules can worm their way through the pores in an agarose gel. The negative charge of DNA molecules propels them through the electrical field toward the positive electrode. Shorter DNA molecules can travel farther in an agarose gel in a given amount of time than longer counterparts. Agarose gel electrophoresis provides a means of analyzing DNA by separating molecules based on size. However, in and of itself, agarose gel electrophoresis does not provide a means of visualizing the DNA. That role is played by two dyes: ethidium bromide and loading buffer."

It occurs after restriction digest and ligation and transfers newly made plasmids to bacteria. After transformation, bacteria are selected on antibiotic plates. Bacteria with a plasmid are antibiotic-resistant, and each one will form a colony. Colonies with the right plasmid can be grown to make large cultures of identical bacteria, which are used to produce plasmid or make protein. The big picture: DNA cloning Transformation and selection of bacteria are key steps in DNA cloning. DNA cloning is the process of making many copies of a specific piece of DNA, such as a gene.

Carbohydrates are used as structural materials, transportable forms of energy, or storage forms of energy. They consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Included in the carbohydrate are monosaccharides (has two hydroxide groups bonded to the carbon backbone plus an aldehyde or ketone group; carbon backbone), oligosaccharides (made of covalently bonded monosaccharides), and polysaccharides (made of several covalently bonded monosaccharides. Lipids are nonpolar hydrocarbons used as energy stores, structural materials, and signaling molecules. They consist of fats (1-3 fatty acids attached to a glycerol unit), phospholipids (glycerol backbone, two fatty acid tails, a hydrophilic head that contains a phosphate group and a polar group, and a hydrophobic tail), sterols (lipids with no fatty acids, have a backbone of four fused-together carbon rings), and waxes (long chain fatty acids taightly packed and linked to long-chain alcohols or carbon rings). Proteins function in nutrition, transportation, immunity, and signaling. They are made up of amino acids (consists of amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen atom, and R group). Polypeptide bonds form between amino acids to form polypeptide chains. Amino acid sequence is primary protein structure."

What Are the Types of Polymerization? What Is the Process of Polymerization? Full Answer Macromolecules are made of smaller molecules. In carbohydrates and proteins these smaller particles are referred to as monomers. When two similar or identical monomers are bonded together they form a larger polymer molecule. The monomers of carbohydrates are monosaccharides or simple sugars, and when two or more of these are linked by a covalent bond it creates a disaccharide."

Inside the nucleus of each human cell (excluding the sex cells) you will find 23 pairs (NOT 13) of chomosomes. Chromosomes are made up of very, very long strands of DNA wound up like rope very tightly. DNA is made up of four different units of protien, called A, C, T and G for short. A and T and C and G fit together, and they form a ladder-like double helix shape. Each of these combinations instructs a single amino acid (small unit of protien) to do a certain job, whether it is A and T, T and A, C and G or G and C.

In some jurisdictions, first responders must consult verbally with a physician before officially pronouncing a patient deceased, but once cardiopulmonary resuscitation is initiated, it must be continued until a physician can pronounce the patient dead. Medical DOA [ edit]When presented with a patient, medical professionals are required to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) unless specific conditions are met which allow them to pronounce the patient as deceased.

What is the definition of acreage assessment? Per Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 167 Irrigation Water Development,“Acreage Assessment” means any levy imposed pursuant to Chapter 167 on the agricultural and pasture land within an irrigation project and any amount charged to the State or to the Hawaiian Homes Commission for the purpose of acquiring, establishing, or maintaining irrigation facilities for an irrigation project. Who determines the amount of acreage assessments levied? The Board of Agriculture (BOA) establishes and certifies the total amount of acreage assessments to be levied every June. Who can request an acreage assessment change? Any customer who is not a lessee of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Park or Non-Agricultural Park Lands Programs, whose parcel is levied an acreage assessment by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) can request an acreage assessment change. Should the customer be a lessee of any State of Hawaii agency, including the Department of Hawaiian Homelands, in order for the HDOA to consider the request, the customer must submit an official letter from the agency acknowledging the non-development of the leased parcel and that the customer is in good standing with the terms set forth in their general lease. What are possible reasons for an acreage assessment change that may be considered by the BOA? Should a consumer lose the right to cultivate a portion of the consumer’s acreage, except by default for nonpayment of water delivery bills."

The Staff of Ice shoots blasts of ice when fired, and similarly to the Winter's Howl, will slow down zombies, eventually freezing them and cracking them apart. Once upgraded to the Ull's Arrow, it functions the same as its previous version, however its blast of ice has more range and a wider area of effect. The player can also hold down the firing button in order to charge it up, at the cost of more ammo per charged shot. When charged and released, it fires an initial blast of ice, then expands in a circle, creating a blizzard attracting nearby zombies towards it and instantly freezing and killing them. If a player shoots three burning wagons located around the map with the ice staff, a Zombie Blood will appear at the top of the excavation site. This can be done once every round. The three wagons are located: Just outside the excavation site, by the MP-40 wall-buy. By the footprint with the stone chest outside of Generator 5 and Stamin-Up . Just outside of the trenches behind the excavation site, (the Church), more towards Generator 4."

One of the leading conductors of the early and mid-20th Century, he is best known for his long association with the Philadelphia Orchestra and for appearing in the film Fantasia. He was especially noted for his free-hand conducting style that spurned the traditional baton and for obtaining a characteristically sumptuous sound from the orchestras he directed. In America, Stokowski performed with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the NBC Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Symphony of the Air and many others. He was also the founder of the All-American Youth Orchestra, the New York City Symphony, the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra and the American Symphony Orchestra. He conducted the music for and appeared in several Hollywood films, including Disney's Fantasia, and was a lifelong champion of contemporary composers, giving many premieres of new music during his 60-year conducting career. Stokowski, who made his official conducting debut in 1909, appeared in public for the last time in 1975 but continued making recordings until June 1977, a few months before his death at the age of 95.

That's wonderful!It's a healthy sign!Plus, there are ways to make this phase go easier for all of you. If you recognize some of the following typical signs of separation anxiety in babies, then yes, your parental instinct may be correct: Your baby is very clingy and wants to be in your proximity all the time (preferably in your arms). Your baby protests and gets upset if you get out of sight, for instance, leave the room. If you are the primary caregiver, your baby wants you and no-one else, not even other close caregivers. Your baby wakes up anxious at night and wants your comfort. When your baby is upset because of not being in your proximity, he or she will quickly calm down when you reunite in your arms. Your baby is uncomfortable around strangers and may even fear them. Your baby is crying for you when you leave him or her in day care or with a babysitter. Needless to say that baby separation anxiety is hard on the baby and taxing and wearing for parents but hold out!Separation anxiety is not only a phase that will pass; it's also a healthy sign in your child."

The First Month Age 1-3 Months Age 4-7 Months Age 8-12 Months On to Toddlerhood When to Seek Medical Care For More Information on Infant Milestones What Are Infant Milestones? Babies grow at an amazingly rapid rate during their first year of life. In addition to babies' physical growth in height and weight, babies also go through major achievement stages, referred to as developmental milestones. Developmental milestones are easily identifiable skills that the baby can perform, such as rolling over, sitting up, and walking. These milestones are usually classified into three categories:motor development,language development, andsocial/emotional development. Babies tend to follow the same progression through these milestones; however, no two babies go through these milestones at exactly the same time. There is a range of time when a specific developmental milestone will be accomplished (for example, babies learn to walk independently between 9-16 months of age). Babies also spend different amounts of time at each stage before moving on to the next stage. Contact a health-care professional with any concerns about a baby's development."

"text": "How To Handle Your Baby or Toddler’s Separation Anxiety and Sleepby Emily De Jeu in Sleep Training — 42 Comments I’ve always thought the term “separation anxiety” wasn’t an adequate one. It sounds kind of clinical and dull, in my opinion. But those of us whose babies and toddlers have experienced separation anxiety (and I’m guessing that’s almost all of us) know that the separation anxiety is anything but dull!So maybe a term like “separation red-faced-screaming-panic-attack” would be more appropriate? Just throwing it out there. At any rate, separation anxiety is the topic of today’s article. Specifically, we’ll look at why and when separation anxiety occurs, how it affects sleep, and what you can do to cope with it. Don’t Worry, Separation Anxiety Is Normal. ( In Fact, It’s a Good Sign! ) It might not seem normal for your baby or toddler to cling to your legs, spider-monkey style, and scream until they turn purple, but don’t worry — it’s very normal indeed!In the first few months of your baby’s life, he’s really not able to distinguish between adults; one caregiver looks and feels much like another. That’s why most newborns and young infants are content to be passed around between adults."

As I'd head off to work, the boys would glance my way, then resume chewing on their barnyard animals or playing with their babysitter. They seemed to be thinking, \"\"Eh, catch you later, Mom—whatever.\"\" I figured: Phew! We dodged all the separation anxiety drama that had stressed out so many of my friends. ( Hey, maybe we'd get lucky and bypass the terrible twos, too! ) But then one morning, reality struck big-time. As I opened the door to leave, Ian, the small, scrappy one, began rolling around the floor, wailing as if stricken by food poisoning.

You finally got the baby washed, dressed, fed, and yourself all done up and ready to hit the town for date night. The babysitter has arrived and you put the baby down to play. But before you can even get one step towards the door, baby is screaming, crying and whipping himself into a frenzy. Baby separation anxiety strikes again. Baby separation anxiety wreaks havoc on a parent’s nerves, causing concern over the sitter’s ability to handle the situation, worry, and guilt for even thinking about leaving baby in the first place. If you’re a parent dealing with a baby who suffers from separation anxiety, don’t despair! Baby separation anxiety is a normal occurrence in most babies between the ages of 6 months to 12 months, but can sometimes last through the first few years of their life. Not only is baby separation anxiety temporary, there are ways you can work with your sitter to help ease your baby’s separation anxiety during this time. Babies feel separation anxiety as early as 6 months because that is the age when they begin to realize that their mothers and fathers are separate from them and can, in fact, leave them."

It is important for you to be well informed about medications you may need. You should know what medications you take and the dosage, and learn everything you can about them. Many medications now come with patient package inserts, describing the medication, how it should be taken, and side effects to look for. When you go to a new doctor, always take with you a list of all of the prescribed medications (including dosage), over-the-counter medications, and vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements you take. The list should include herbal teas and supplements such as St. John's wort, echinacea, ginkgo, ephedra, and ginseng. Almost any substance that can change behavior can cause harm if used in the wrong amount or frequency of dosing, or in a bad combination. Drugs differ in the speed, duration of action, and in their margin for error. If you are taking more than one medication, and at different times of the day, it is essential that you take the correct dosage of each medication. An easy way to make sure you do this is to use a 7-day pillbox, available in any pharmacy, and to fill the box with the proper medication at the beginning of each week."

By Elizabeth Leis-Newman June 2012, Vol 43, No. 6Print version: page 56The tragedy of miscarriage has traditionally been private, an event grieved largely by the mother, on her own. Health-care professionals advised these women that the sadness would grow less pronounced over time, especially following a successful pregnancy. But new research suggests that some women may mourn for much longer than expected, even after the birth of a healthy child, although the range and severity of the symptoms may vary. That's also true for men, as new studies have found that men grieve over a miscarriage more than once thought. \"\" Because it is medically common, the impact of miscarriage is often underestimated,\"\" says Janet Jaffe, Ph D, a clinical psychologist at the Center for Reproductive Psychology in San Diego and co-author of the 2010 book \"\"Reproductive Trauma: Psychotherapy with Infertility and Pregnancy Loss Clients.\"\" \"\" But miscarriage is a traumatic loss, not only of the pregnancy, but of a woman's sense of self and her hopes and dreams of the future. She has lost her ‘reproductive story,' and it needs to be grieved. \"\" A woman who has a miscarriage is at risk for depression and anxiety symptoms in subsequent years, says University of Rochester Medical Center psychiatry professor Emma Robertson Blackmore, Ph D. In addition, even after having a healthy child, women who miscarry have a higher risk of postpartum depression, Robertson Blackmore has found."

But his attachment may not seem quite as charming now that he's older and still falls apart whenever you head to the bathroom without him. Hang in there: Your toddler is experiencing separation anxiety, a developmental phase that nearly all children go through (sometimes more than once) during their early years. And thankfully, it isn't permanent. Why separation anxiety happens Around 6 months or so, your baby begins to realize that you and she are separate people, which means that you could leave her. She's also capable of representational thinking now, so she can picture objects (like you) in her mind after they're no longer visible. In other words, out of sight no longer means out of mind. ( This is one reason why she suddenly gets such a kick out of playing peekaboo . ) As your child grows into toddlerhood, she's developing a strong drive for independence, but she still needs your devoted support."

"text": "Every child needs good sleep for healthy development, growth, and learning. As parents, it’s your job to help children establish good sleep habits for a lifetime. Children learn how to sleep from their parents, so the habits you establish today can help them maintain healthy sleep not just in childhood, but for the rest of their lives. But while establishing good sleep is important for children, parents may feel a little lost when it comes to actually teaching good sleep habits. This is particularly apparent during the challenges of newborn sleep, toddler sleep resistance, and the never ending struggle in older children between endless activities and adequate rest. In this guide, parents and caregivers can learn more about helping children sleep healthy. The guide shares common sleep challenges for young children, school age children, and teens, along with helpful tips and resources for making the most of sleep at each stage. You can also learn about creating a healthy sleep environment for your child and discover useful resources for learning everything you need to know about why and how we sleep — and how to make sleep better for children. Healthy Sleep for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers Sleep is often one of the biggest challenges for parents of young children. Babies and toddlers are at an age when they’re still developing good sleeping habits — but they also need adequate sleep for health and development."

By Nicole Caccavo Kear from American Baby Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email Avery Powel Weaning 101Do It Gradually When it comes to helping your kiddie kick the milk habit, the rule of thumb is to go slowly. This will protect your breasts from engorgement and ease your baby's anxiety. Freda Rosenfeld, former president of the New York Lactation Consultant Association, says you can never go too slowly, but be sure to drop only one feeding every three or four days so that it takes about two weeks for the entire process. Drop the least preferred feedings first, which likely means the morning and bedtime feedings will be the last to go.

The First Month Age 1-3 Months Age 4-7 Months Age 8-12 Months On to Toddlerhood When to Seek Medical Care For More Information on Infant Milestones What Are Infant Milestones? Babies grow at an amazingly rapid rate during their first year of life. In addition to babies' physical growth in height and weight, babies also go through major achievement stages, referred to as developmental milestones. Developmental milestones are easily identifiable skills that the baby can perform, such as rolling over, sitting up, and walking. These milestones are usually classified into three categories:motor development,language development, andsocial/emotional development. Babies tend to follow the same progression through these milestones; however, no two babies go through these milestones at exactly the same time. There is a range of time when a specific developmental milestone will be accomplished (for example, babies learn to walk independently between 9-16 months of age). Babies also spend different amounts of time at each stage before moving on to the next stage. Contact a health-care professional with any concerns about a baby's development."

There are a variety of doctoral degrees, with the most common being the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph D), which is awarded in many different fields, ranging from the humanities to the scientific disciplines. In the United States and some other countries, there are also some types of vocational, technical, or professional degrees that are referred to as doctorates in their home countries, though they are not technically doctoral level as they are not research degrees and no defense of any dissertation or thesis is performed.

Anesthesiologists are physicians who specialize in pain relief, particularly as it relates to surgical procedures. They examine patients prior to procedures to determine the proper type of anesthetic needed, they administer anesthetics, and they monitor patients for appropriate responses. Anesthesiologists are among the most highly compensated of all physicians. CNN Money ranked the occupation at No. 11 on its 2009 list of the Best Jobs in America. Anesthesiologists are highly educated and trained, but while a college degree is necessary, the major field of study is not mandated. Educational Progression An individual who desires a career as an anesthesiologist should begin preparing while still in high school by focusing on science-related courses such as chemistry and biology, according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists. College coursework should include a background in the liberal arts and rigorous studies in standard pre-med curricula.

The best way to determine if someone is a good candidate for LASIK surgery is to talk to a doctor who specializes in the LASIK procedure. There are a few risk factors that will disqualify someone from having LASIK surgery. Anyone under the age of 18 years of age will most likely be disqualified from having LASIK eye surgery. Typically those younger than 18 years old do not have a stable enough prescription because refractive errors rarely stabilize before adulthood. In addition, women who are pregnant, nursing or wish to become pregnant should wait to have LASIK surgery. Hormonal changes that are associated with pregnancy, childbirth and nursing can affect visual acuteness and will disqualify someone from being a candidate. In order to be a good candidate for LASIK surgery someone must have a refractive error and a glasses or contact lens prescription that has been stable for at least one year.

The latest news about Todd Akin, and even more recently senate candidate Dick Mourdock have brought some light onto the Republican VP candidate as well, showing his record and sponsorship for a personhood amendment. And according to Paul Ryan, “the method of conception doesn’t matter.” Wow. Please, Republican Party: stop preaching freedom when in reality you are the forced birth party. More important than the politics of personhood: I’m beginning to think that the majority of people in the country might not know what personhood means, both in explicite form, as well as the chain reaction of implications on a lot of other reproductive and civil liverty issues from ones own health to the right to privacy."

Our Center has an experience of working with couples from France, Germany, USA, Greece and other countries. Lower fees at our Center in comparison with various surrogacy agencies of the world do not mean low quality of service. We do not have artificially increased expenses. In case of international couples In Vitro Fertilization is mainly carried out in Georgia or Ukraine, at one of our partner clinics. When the couple chooses the Ukrainian clinic we send the donor and the surrogate mother selected by the couple to Ukraine (for the period of maximum 10 days each of them). In case of such choice it is possible that the couple does not arrive to Georgia and arrive only to Ukraine to the clinic specified by us where they will meet our representative who will make contract with the couple. Prior to the visit to Ukraine the following will be required: the couple should select the acceptable candidates of a donor and surrogate mother by photos, agree on the terms and conditions of the agreement to be made between the couple and our agency in advance and the couple should transfer the compensation of business trip of our center’s employee to Ukraine (500 Euros) into our Center’s bank account. Some international couples arriving at or Center simultaneously plan their holiday in our country since winter and summer resorts (Gudauri, Borjomi, Batumi…) are very popular in Europe presently. Our Center strives to work in a manner that the work performed by us for each couple exceeds the commitments undertaken by us We provide a couple with a healthy surrogate mother who agrees to carry out three attempts of fertilization."

The Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) is an administratively independent agency started by and physically housed on the premises of the American Pharmaceutical Association. The BPS is totally separate and distinct from ACCP. The BPS, via its specialty councils, is responsible for specialty examination content, administration, scoring, and all other aspects related to sitting for specialty certification examinations. For example, the Pharmacotherapy specialty examination is assembled, with the assistance of outside consultants, by the six pharmacotherapy specialist members of the Specialty Council on Pharmacotherapy and a select number of other pharmacotherapy specialists. Each specialty council recommends the passing score for its respective examination to the BPS for approval. What specialty areas of pharmacy are currently recognized? Currently, the BPS recognizes eight specialty areas of pharmacy: Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Critical Care Pharmacy Nuclear Pharmacy Nutrition Support Pharmacy Oncology Pharmacy Pediatric Pharmacy Pharmacotherapy Psychiatric Pharmacy Certification examinations for each of these specialties are offered annually.

"text": "\"Provenge® (sipuleucel-T) is a unique treatment option for men who have asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic prostate cancer that has spread (metastasized) and also resisted hormone therapy (also referred to as metastatic castrate resistant or hormone refractory prostate cancer). Before the introduction of Provenge, men with this type of prostate cancer had no promising treatment opportunities. Studies show that hormone resistant prostate cancer progresses rapidly, therefore prompt treatment is critical. In fact, up to 80% of men with hormone resistant prostate cancer develop metastases, and 46% of men with this form of the disease develop metastases in only two years. ( Smith 2005; 2011)What is Provenge? Provenge is unlike other prostate cancer treatments because it is a form of immunotherapy, which means it is designed to utilize and work with a man's immune system to fight prostate cancer. In this sense, Provenge is sometimes referred to as a prostate cancer vaccine, because vaccines are also a form of immunotherapy. However, unlike a true vaccine, Provenge cannot provide immunity against disease. Provenge is an autologous cellular immunotherapy, which means it uses a man's own immune cells (autologous) to battle prostate cancer. To accomplish this, a series of carefully orchestrated steps must be followed, with the end result being a drug that is personalized for each patient."

The Treasury Financial Manual and DODs Financial Management Regulation require DOD components to perform monthly FBWT reconciliations and maintain detailed reconciliation worksheets and documentation to provide an adequate audit trail for the resolution of differences. GAOs Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government states that the supervisory review and approval process is a key control activity for federal agencies. The Navy and the Marine Corps rely on the Defense Finance and Accounting Service located in Cleveland (DFAS-CL) to perform their FBWT reconciliation steps; however, GAO found numerous deficiencies in the FBWT process that impair the Navys and the Marine Corpss ability to reconcile their FBWTs with Treasury records, including the following: The Navy and Marine Corps rely on the data from Defense Cash Accountability System (DCAS) to reconcile their FBWT to Treasurys records; however, they have not taken the necessary actions to ensure that the data are reliable. Specifically, DOD has not tested the application controls over DCAS since its implementation to determine if the system is processing data as intended. The Navy, the Marine Corps, and DFAS have identified a list of over 650 DCAS system change requests that needed to be addressed in order to correct DCAS data reliability and security problems or process required system updates; over 200 of these system change requests are deficiencies that affect audit readiness and 20 require immediate attention. DFAS did not maintain adequate documentation for the nongeneralizable sample of items GAO tested to enable an independent evaluation of its efforts to research and resolve differences. In addition, there was no evidence of supervisory review and approval. DFAS records forced-balance entries (plugs) to account for differences between Navy and Marine Corps appropriation balances and Treasurys. DFAS is unable to reconcile the cash activity recorded in the Navys general ledger accounting systems to that recorded in DCAS."

Security Clearance William Henderson / Oct 9, 2011Sign up! The Cleared Brief - Latest security clearance news - delivered monthly.87On August 29, 2011 the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued Federal Investigations Notice — FIN 11-4 announcing the full implementation of revised National Investigative Standards initially agreed upon by OPM and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) on August 24, 2010. This includes updates to the security clearance investigation process. These revised standards represent a significant retreat from 3-tier concept approved in December 2008 by OPM and DNI. The 3-tier concept attempted to fully implement the intent of Executive Order 13467 by reducing the number of different suitability and security clearance investigations and by creating a system that allowed for “each successively higher level investigation to build on rather than duplicate low level investigations.” It created 3 types of initial investigations and 2 types of reinvestigations. It also significantly reduced the standard scope of all investigations by relying heavily on enhanced “Automated Records Checks” (ARC) that reportedly used many more government and commercial databases than currently used in the National Agency Check and credit search. It appeared to be a structure that might finally break down the barriers to greater suitability and clearance reciprocity between agencies. The new revised standards are based on a 5-tier system that uses 6 types of investigations and 4 types of reinvestigations that have existed for many years and retain the existing scope and period of coverage of these investigations ."

Those students eligible for ESY will receive an individualized program to support their learning and retention of skill throughout the summer holidays. What does IDEA say about ESY? Under (34 CFR Part 300) in IDEA Regulations (not the Act): 'Extended school year services must be provided only if a child's IEP team determines, on an individual basis, in accordance with 300.340-300.350, that the services are necessary for the provision of FAPE to the child.

Copied Select a Section 1 /0The Heritage Foundation recently released the 2015 Index of U. S. Military Strength. This comprehensive survey of American military power evaluates the state of the Armed Forces, current threats, and the operating environment in which U. S. forces might be called on to defend a vital interest. The overall findings of the evaluation conclude that the American military is only marginally prepared to achieve even its most critical mission objectives. [ 1] The rationale for this score is multifaceted, and includes a combination of rising threats, shrinking allied contributions to collective defense, a reduced size of the U. S. military, and underinvestment in defense modernization—as well as inefficiencies that diminish the effectiveness of the Armed Forces. Of all these challenges, the Department of Defense (DOD) has the most authority and capacity to address wasteful defense practices. [ 2] By addressing four critical obstacles to improving operations in a systematic and integrated manner over the first months and years of the next Administration, the next leadership team in the Pentagon can lay the best foundation for a better-performing defense enterprise. The right game plan for addressing the Pentagon’s management woes would be to tackle (in this order): (1) reducing civilian overhead; (2) implementing the consistent use of performance-based logistics (PBL); (3) right-sizing the DOD’s massive global infrastructure; and (4) building a results-based system for buying new equipment managed by a professional, focused, and competent acquisition workforce. A reform agenda will, in part, free up resources and add both capacity and capabilities to address some of the Armed Forces’ most serious strategic shortfalls. [ 3]The Agenda Organizational and process reforms are always difficult."

Inspires a Shared Vision An effective project leader is often described as having a vision of where to go and the ability to articulate it. Visionaries thrive on change and being able to draw new boundaries. It was once said that a leader is someone who lifts us up, gives us a reason for being and gives the vision and spirit to change. Visionary leaders enable people to feel they have a real stake in the project. They empower people to experience the vision on their own. According to Bennis They offer people opportunities to create their own vision, to explore what the vision will mean to their jobs and lives, and to envision their future as part of the vision for the organisation.

Figure 7.6 is an anterior-posterior fluoroscopic image that was taken during an epidural steroid procedure that was done for a symptomatic L5/S1 disc herniation. Note the nearly horizontal positioned needle on the right that has just injected contrast and a steroid (black) into the neuroforamen and spinal canal in attempts to cover an L5/S1 disc herniation and the traversing S1 nerve root. Can't see what I'm talking about? Click here for some help. What conditions do ESIs treat? Epidural steroid injections are for the treatment of lower limb pain (aka: radicular pain, sciatica, or radiculopathy) that is caused by compression and inflammation of either the traversing or exiting nerve root.

"text": "\"Implementation Handbook The Emergency Severity Index (ESI) is a five-level emergency department (ED) triage algorithm that provides clinically relevant stratification of patients into five groups from 1 (most urgent) to 5 (least urgent) on the basis of acuity and resource needs. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded initial work on the ESI. A well-implemented ESI program will help hospital emergency departments rapidly identify patients in need of immediate attention, better identify patients who could safely and more efficiently be seen in a fast-track or urgent care center rather than the main ED, and more accurately determine thresholds for diversion of ambulance patients from the ED. Select for information on how to request print copies of the handbook or DVDs.

The Evolution of Triage The purpose of emergency department (ED) triage is to prioritize incoming patients and to identify those patients who cannot wait to be seen. The experienced triage nurse is able to rapidly and accurately identify the small percentage of patients requiring immediate care. The triage nurse is then challenged to sort the remaining large number of patients who do not require immediate treatment and can wait for physician evaluation. The number of patients presenting to emergency departments is increasing, and this trend is not likely to change. As EDs are struggling to cope with overcrowding there is a critical need for a valid, reliable triage acuity rating system in order to sort these incoming patients more rapidly and accurately."

How does the evidence of life on earth millions of years ago equate with the Bible claim that God created life on earth recently by comparison? Posted on Aug 14, 2006 Estimated reading time: 5 minutes Is it possible to fit the Bible's account of creation with scientific evidence? Could some forms of life, such as the dinosaurs, have been present in a world unfit for human habitation before the seven-day creation account in Genesis 1? If we carefully examine the first two verses in the Bible, we might be surprised at the possible conclusion. We are introduced to the account of the creation of the earth in Genesis 1:1-2: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. ”The original Hebrew wording, compared with other passages of Scripture, has led some to conclude that a considerable time interval is indicated between these two verses. If such an interval is indeed intended, there is no discrepancy between the Bible record and scientific discoveries that indicate that the earth could be much older than a few thousand years. If, on the other hand, there is no such gap, then the earth itself must be only around 6,000 years old—which most scientists consider an impossibility. Do other passages, as well as history, shed any light on this question?"

"text": "\"Emergency Severity Index (ESI): A Triage Tool for Emergency Department Chapter 4. ESI Levels 3-5 and Expected Resource Needs Previous Page Next Page Table of Contents Traditionally, comprehensive triage has been the dominant model for triage acuity assignment in U. S. emergency departments ( Gilboy, 2010; Gilboy, Travers, & Wuerz, 1999 ). Triage acuity rating systems have been based solely on the acuity of the patient, determined through the nurse's assessment of vital signs, subjective and objective information, past medical history, allergies, and medications. Such systems require the nurse to assign an acuity level by making a judgment about how sick the patient is and how long the patient can wait to be seen by a provider. The ESI triage system uses a novel approach that includes not only the nurse's judgments about who should be seen first, but also, for less acute patients (those at ESI levels 3 through 5), calling on the nurse to add predictions of the resources that are likely to be used to make a disposition for the patient. This chapter includes background information on the inclusion of resource predictions in the ESI and a description of what constitutes a resource. Examples are given of patients rated ESI levels 3 to 5 and the resources that each patient is predicted to need. Estimation of resource needs begins only after it has been determined that the patient does not meet ESI level 1 or 2 criteria. The nurse then predicts the number of resources a patient will need in order for a disposition to be reached. When Wuerz and Eitel created the ESI triage system, they included resource utilization to provide additional data and allow a more accurate triage decision."

Burping, or otherwise known as belching is the means of expelling air or gas inside the stomach through the mouth. Burping often occurs after eating too much food or drinking carbonated and alcoholic beverages. Although burping poses nothing serious in our health, this can still be a side effect or a result of many health disorders. For sure, all of us have already experienced burping. Usually, the gas that is expelled from our mouth is odorless, but some people also experience burps that smell like rotten eggs. So what does this particular condition indicate? What do sulfur burps indicate? Burping gas that smells strongly of rotten eggs is indicative of the presence of sulfur in our stomach."

A burp is a way for the digestive system to release excess gas. This gas is usually air that enters through the mouth or is a byproduct of bacteria breaking down food. Eating or drinking too quickly can cause gas to enter through the mouth. Other causes may be habits, such as gum chewing or smoking. Drinking carbonated beverages is another way gas is taken into the stomach and then burped back out. Fast facts on sulfur burps: Burps are usually harmless and simply a sign that there is too much air in the stomach. Excessive burps or burps with a foul smell may be signs of a different issue. Treating sulfur burps typically involves treating the underlying cause. Many home remedies can reduce or eliminate sulfur burps."

"text": "Sulfur Burps June 4, 2014 admin 0 Comments Categories Conditions The presence of excess gas/air in the stomach is usually eliminated as a burp from the mouth. Burps typically smell like the food consumed; but occasionally they may smell like rotten eggs. When the latter occurs, then the condition is referred to as sulfur burps. It can be a very distressing, unpleasant, and embarrassing condition, more so if it occurs when others are around you. Sponsored link The primary cause of the smelly nature of sulfur burps is the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas. People who eat lots of protein-rich sulfur containing foods are more likely to suffer from the smelly elimination of hydrogen sulfide burps. The bacteria present in intestine are the ones which reduce the sulfur, digest the proteins, and produce the gas. People of all age groups can dispel hydrogen sulfide gas during burps. It is particularly noticeable in pregnant women. The different digestive processes tend to slow down during pregnancy and this may be one of the causes of frequent cases of sulfur burps in pregnant women."

I find that when I have that happen (thank goodness it doesn't happen often!) it's because I've eaten something that doesn't agree with me. I've also had it when I've been constipated, but as soon as I stop, it goes away. If it's just a once in awhile thing, it's probably something simple. But if it's constantly, have your dr check & make sure your food is getting digested & passing properly.

Answer by Skylar Martin Confidence votes 539The first common, and most serious, cause of sulfur burps is an infection from Helicobacter pylori or Giardia. Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that can cause serious infection and ulcers within your stomach. Giardia is a parasite that makes its home in your lower intestine and reproduces to cause serious stomach problems. The most common ways to introduce either of these infections is through unclean water sources or poor hygiene and oral-fecal transmission. Sulfur burps can be a symptom of both of these infections. Some food may also cause sulfur burps. This is especially true in those with diets high in protein. The main culprit in food-related sulfur burps is hydrogen sulfide."

What runs from your tap (or bottle) is not pure H2O and therefore this solution can have smell. – ssavec Nov 14 '14 at 9:13@ssavec oh i see- so what i presumably thought was the 'smell' of water are just the impurities in it? – Nick Nov 14 '14 at 9:19@Nick: right. But chemist could call it impurities, physician could call it minerals."

"text": "Posted by Chris Richter on January 3, 2014 | 26 Comments There are many things that can give drinking water bad taste and smelly odors. It could be chemicals used to treat your drinking water, environmental contaminants or even concentrations of metal that have been cast off in old plumbing pipes. Some of the culprits behind bad tasting, smelly drinking water could be: Hydrogen Sulfide, which can produce a rotten egg smell;Dissolved solids which cause a musty, earthy wood smell;Chlorine used in the municipal water treatment process;Metallic tastes and smells from mercury, lead, arsenic and iron seeping into the water supply. How do I get rid of the rotten egg smell? Water absorbs hydrogen sulfide as it passes through the ground. When you turn on your faucet, you actually vent the gas from your tap water, which emits that rotten egg smell. Hydrogen sulfide can be treated with oxidation and filtration. Oxidation turns the gas into elemental sulfur which can then be removed via water filtration. Normally, an aeration system injects air into the water to oxidize the gas. The water then passes through a filter that removes the sulfur."

"text": "11 Of The Weirdest Wine Aromas Adam Teeter @adamteeter3 minute Read As we always say, everyone’s experience with wine is different, and what you smell or taste does not have to be exactly the same as what the person next to you with the same glass experiences. If you think a wine smells like grapes and only grapes, then damnit that’s what it smells like. That being said, throughout the years, many people have tried to bring order to the madness of wine aromas, categorizing the wide variety of nuanced smells drinkers experience. Most famous of all of these aroma categorizations is The Wine Aroma Wheel created by Ann C. Noble, a sensory chemist who worked in the UC Davis Department of Viticulture and Enology. There have been several copies of Noble’s wheel since its creation, but hers is regarded as the original and best. But even on the aroma wheel, not all of the smells are straightforward and pleasant. That’s because sometimes what we smell in wine can be pretty weird. Recognizing that our wine can occasionally smell a bit odd helps us recognize not only when a weird smell could indicate that something is wrong with our wine, but also when the odd smell could help us tell if there is something wonderful going on it our glass. Here are 11 of the oddest aromas you can find in wine and what they mean: Moldy Towel/Moldy Sponge You know the smell a towel can develop when it doesn’t dry completely? It’s similar to that of an old moldy sponge that needs to be thrown out, and it’s a smell, when present in your wine, that’s a pretty good indicator that your glassware isn’t very clean."

Sulfur burp is a similar phenomenon except that it has a distinct unpleasant smell of sulfur which is why it is named as Sulfur burp. The smell may seem similar to the smell of a rotten egg. Though the condition is said to be normal, it may be embarrassing for the affected individual. These are also sometimes referred to as ‘eggy burps’. This foul smell expelled with the burp is due to H2S which is Hydrogen Sulfide. It is said that the gas originates from sulfur protein based foods. The sulfur reducing microbes in the gastro intestinal tract break these proteins during digestion. These burps can affect anyone irrespective of the age."

Early carvers worked with the tusks of mastodon, mammoth, rhino, hippo, walrus, narwhal and modern elephants. Ivory hard to find. Ivory has proven to be one of the finest carving materials for miniature objects. Presently, very little ivory is carved because it is not readily available due to conservation efforts for preservation. Indigenous inhabitants of some regions are permitted to utilize walrus ivory for art objects. An alternate source for the carvers is bone and antlers. During early history, Egyptians and Chinese carved elaborate miniatures and inlaid many wood carvings with ivory. The Bible lists many articles employing ivory.

The type sites are named for the villages of Mal'ta ( Мальта ), Usolsky District and Buret' ( Буреть ), Bokhansky District (both in Irkutsk Oblast ). A boy whose remains were found near Mal'ta is usually known by the abbreviation MA-1 (or MA1). Discovered in the 1920s, the remains have been dated to 24,000 BP. According to research published since 2013, MA-1 belonged to a population related to the genetic ancestors of Siberians, American Indians, and Bronze Age Yamnaya people of the Eurasian steppe. [ 1] [2] In particular, modern-day Native Americans, Kets, Mansi, Nganasans and Yukaghirs were found to be genetically close to MA-1. [ 3]Much of what is known about Mal'ta comes from the Russian archaeologist Mikhail Gerasimov. Better known later for his contribution to the branch of anthropology known as forensic facial reconstruction, Gerasimov made revolutionary discoveries when he excavated Mal'ta in 1927. Until his findings, the Upper Paleolithic societies of Northern Asia were virtually unknown. Over the remainder of his career Gerasimov twice more visited Mal'ta to excavate and research the site."

The crosier is an ecclesiastical ornament which is conferred on bishops at their consecration and on mitred abbots at their investiture, and which is used by these prelates in performing certain solemn functions. It is sometimes stated that archbishops do not use the crosier. This is not so, the truth being that in addition to the pastoral staff they have also the right to have the archiepiscopal cross borne before them within the territory of their jurisdiction. According to present-day usage the Roman pontiff does not use the crosier. That this practice is now a departure from primitive discipline is now thoroughly established, for in the early representations of the popes found on tablets, coins, and other monuments, the crosier is to be seen (Kraus, Geschichte der christlichen Kunst, II, 500). But in the eleventh century this must have disappeared, since Innocent III (d. 1216) intimates that it no longer prevailed (Epistola ad Patr. Const.). As a reason why the pope does not use crosier symbolists allege the giving by St. Peter of his staff to one of his disciples in order to raise a dead companion to life."

In other words, poaching is hunting without legal permission from whoever controls the land. [ 18]Legal hunters kill tens of millions of animals per year. For each of those animals, another animal is illegally killed. [ 10]The word “poach” is from the Middle English word pocchen, which literally means “bagged, enclosed in a bag.” [ 12]Big-horned sheep antlers can cost $20,000 on the black market. [ 2]Wildlife officials are noticing a recent increase in poaching infant gorillas. Baby gorillas are sold for up to $40,000 each.

"text": "Paleolithic art, part 6: Women in Paleolithic art The representation of humans is comparatively rare in Paleolithic art, and only becomes widespread with the advent of civilisation. Where they are depicted, their sex is often ambiguous. However, in certain fields of art there is an abundance of female representations. Interpreting them poses the same problems as Paleolithic art in general. This article does not claim to be a comprehensive survey of depictions of women, and it is orientated to Eurasia because of its focus upon figurines. My knowledge does not extend to female representation outside that region, but I may expand upon this article in the future. Female figurines By far the most common representations of women in the Old and New Stone Ages were small statuettes carved mostly from stone or ivory, of which the ‘Woman of Willendorf’ is one of the best known. These were created over a span of 20,000 years, the first of them appearing during the Aurignacian and Gravettian periods. In the Paleolithic, they appear across a huge area from France to Siberia; by the Neolithic this area shifts towards the Mediterranean and Near East. The abundance of female images suggests that women held a prominent role in prehistoric society — as we have discussed, this role is likely to have been different to men’s, but equal in importance."

"text": "How the Aeneid portrays Caeser Augustus Print Reference this Published: 23rd March, 2015 Last Edited: 16th May, 2017Disclaimer: This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays. One obvious notion of pro-Augustan propaganda that almost serves as a blunt reminder of the original purpose of the epic shows up in Book Six, where Aeneas travels to the underworld and talks with Anchises. Anchises begins to talk of future heroes of the Roman world, and in the midst of the his prophecy, he begins of Caesar Augustus by saying, �Here, here is the man, Whom many a time thou hearest promised to thee, Augustus Caesar, the son of a being divine. He shall renew once more the Ages of Gold, in the ploughlands of Latium lorded by Saturn of old, Beyond Garamantes and Indians stretching his empire�� (6 791-796) This section may obviously be supportive of Augustus, but it is the plain truth of how Augustus wants his citizens to view him. The quote brings up the point that Caesar Augustus is the son of God (Apollo), how he has brought peace among the Roman Empire, and how Augustus has and will continue to spread the empire. The quote also provides a sense of assurance by saying that Augustus was meant to be the ruler before he was even born. Throughout Book Two of the Aeneid, over the destruction of Troy, Aeneas shows his great characteristic of piety � the loyalty to the gods and to family. In the book, he rescues his father and the Trojan gods, the Penates, from destructive mayhem at Troy�s fall by carrying them by himself on his shoulders."

"text": "African art, the visual arts of native Africa, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, including such media as sculpture, painting, pottery, rock art, textiles, masks, personal decoration, and jewelry. For more general explorations of media, see individual media articles (e.g., painting, sculpture, pottery, and textile ). For a discussion of the characteristics, functions, and forms of masks, see mask. The architecture of Africa is treated in a separate article; see African architecture. Overview General characteristics It is difficult to give a useful summary of the main characteristics of the art of sub-Saharan Africa. The variety of forms and practices is so great that the attempt to do so results in a series of statements that turn out to be just as true of, for example, Western art. Thus, some African art has value as entertainment; some has political or ideological significance; some is instrumental in a ritual context; and some has aesthetic value in itself. More often than not, a work of African art combines several or all of these elements. Similarly, there are full-time and part-time artists; there are artists who figure in the political establishment and those who are ostracized and despised; and some art forms can be made by anyone, while others demand the devotion of an expert. Claims of an underlying pan-African aesthetic must be viewed as highly contentious.raffia-fibre cloth Raffia-fibre cloth, made by the Kuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, mid-20th century; in the Honolulu Academy of Arts."

Subscribe to The Atlantic Daily, our free weekday email newsletter. Chinese demand for ivory is driving conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Reuters In Garamba National Park in the northeastern corner of Congo, thousands of elephants are being killed each year for their tusks, their carcasses discarded like hair clippings on a barbershop's floor. In a beautiful and brutal report, New York Times reporter Jeffrey Gettleman describes the carnage, both animal and human, in harrowing detail. Last year, he writes, \"\"broke the record for the amount of illegal ivory seized worldwide, at 38.8 tons (equaling the tusks from more than 4,000 dead elephants). Law enforcement officials say the sharp increase in large seizures is a clear sign that organized crime has slipped into the ivory underworld, because only a well-oiled criminal machine -- with the help of corrupt officials -- could move hundreds of pounds of tusks thousands of miles across the globe, often using specially made shipping containers with secret compartments.\"\" ( Although there are many sources of ivory such as walruses, rhinoceros, and narwhals, elephant ivory has always been the most highly sought because of its particular texture, softness, and its lack of a tough outer coating of enamel. ) What in the world could fuel such demand for animal teeth?"

"text": "The Byzantine Empire The Byzantine Empire began as a continuation of the Roman Empire but gradually became distinct through cultural changes. Learning Objectives Explain the rise and duration of the Byzantine Empire Key Takeaways Key Points The Byzantine Empire, so-called for the former name of Constantinople, was the Eastern portion of the Roman Empire. After the Western Empire fell in 476, the Byzantine Empire would continue for another millennium. Those living within the borders of the empire called themselves Romans, as opposed to Byzantines. Cultural shifts between them emerged with the change of the official language in the early seventh century, and the Byzantine split with the Roman Catholic Church in the eleventh century. The surviving Byzantine art is predominantly religious and follow traditional models that translate their carefully controlled church theology into artistic terms. Byzantine churches began in the style of many Western Roman churches but gradually shifted to centrally planned and then to Greek-cross structures over the course of the empire’s history. Key Terms Greek-cross: The dominant architectural form of middle- and late-period Byzantine churches, featuring a square center with an internal structure shaped like a cross, topped by a dome.centrally planned: Having a central nave with an aisle on either side separated by a colonnade, and an apse at one end. The East–West Schism After the death of Theodosius I in 395, the Roman Empire was divided into an Eastern half, based in Constantinople, and a Western, half based in Rome . Less than a century later, in 476, the last Western emperor Romulus Augustulus abdicated to a Germanic warlord who placed his own rule under that of the Eastern emperor."

"text": "You'll Love to Know: Symbolism of Elephants in Different Cultures Symbolism is a medium of expression in almost all cultures. Various entities and beings are depictions of events and emotions at a particular time in history. Elephants have been of particular significance in these depictions. Did You Know? Elephants hold a symbolic meaning in astrology, wherein, 'elephant dreams' are considered to have specific meanings. The actions and behavior of these elephants in the dreams are of particular importance in interpreting what they stand for. The flapping of its ears, dancing of its trunk, the prominence of its gigantic spine and royal tusks, the depth of its benevolent eyes while it strolls around with charming calm and composure, at once surrounds you with a feeling of safeguard, kindness, and respect. Such is the exuberance of this genial form, that has been on this planet for more than 50 million years. Elephants have long been associated with humans, their emotions, and their stories. They have been subjects of mythologies, religions, battles, and innumerable other interpretive or literal practices of expression."

"text": "A Woman’s Place in Heart of Darkness (Nicole)Posted on March 29, 2011 by nicdel1123“It is queer how out of touch with truth women are. They live in a world of their own, and there had never been anything like it and never can be. It is too beautiful altogether, and if they were to set it up it would go to pieces before sunset. Some confounded fact we men have been living contendtedly with ever since the day of creation would start up and knock the whole thing over.” ( 48, Barnes and Noble edition)There are not many women in Heart of Darkness, yet the few that appear in the text are striking. From the two women that Marlow first encounters in the Company’s office to Kurtz’s savage mistress to his ever faithful wife, the perception of women as steadfast symbols for men’s actions is prevalent in the novella. In this way they are often depicted as having a dangerous edge and it seems certain that Marlow does not trust them. The two knitting women are the first females introduced in the book. Despite their harmless outer appearance, there is something very ominous in the way that they are described: they knit black wool continuously, when the slender woman goes to greet Marlow she does not glance up at him until she is very close and her approach is depicted as confrontational, even the older woman who seemingly finds it difficult to move from her chair boldly glances at every person put before her with “unconcerned wisdom” (46), as if she knows each one in a moment. These two women leave quite an impression on Marlow who is a bit shaken by the experience."

"text": "\"Technically, all animals with teeth have ivory, which is composed of a creamy white substance called dentin that makes up the bulk of teeth. However, some animals have particularly large teeth or tusks that lend themselves to harvesting, such as elephants, hippopotami, and whales. Ivory from these animals has been used for centuries in decorative art, and in the manufacture of objects such as pianos and billiard balls. Concerns about declining populations of elephants in particular have led to restrictions on the global trade, and many craftspeople are starting to seek out alternatives such as high quality plastics or tagua, also known as vegetable ivory. The term has been used in English for almost 1,000 years, and originates from several African words meaning “elephant.” This suggests that elephants have been the primary source throughout European history, and given the formerly large populations of elephants in Asia as well, it is probable that India, Japan, and China also got their ivory from elephants. In North America, scrimshaw artisans got their material from walruses and whales. Ivory is ideal for decorative art because it is hard, close grained, and takes to carving and dyes well. Sources can be shaved to make inlays or carved whole into elaborate sculptures and art pieces, as well as practical goods. It has been used in traditional art in numerous cultures, and thanks to its durability, many specimens survive, providing clues into the art and culture of other civilizations."

It was not so much the fear of him dying or leaving her alone.

This is probably why he have you four pills -- two for each flight. Have you ever taken it before? Although a commonly prescribed anti-anxiety medication (it's common name is Ativan), it does occasionally have unpleasant side effects. I'm not sure I would want to be taking it (or any new medication, for that matter) for the very first time just before I got on an airplane. As long as you're not driving to the airport, I would certainly consider taking it at least an hour ahead of getting on the airplane."

I quote: So-called \"\"Paradoxical\"\" Effects \"\"According to Professor Malcolm Lader, 5% of those using benzodiazepines may be affected by so-called \"\"paradoxical\"\" reactions in response to the drugs rather than the desired tranquillising effects. Such reactions include increased aggressiveness (in some individuals even violent behaviour), depression (with or without suicidal thoughts or intentions), and sometimes personality changes. In some instances, reactions such as hallucinations, depersonalisation, derealisation and other psychiatric symptoms occur. Ativan ( lorazepam) and Halcion ( triazolam) in particular may produce dissociation and other psychiatric symptoms.\"\" \"\" Paradoxical\"\" side effects occur in all age groups but are more likely to be found in children and in the elderly where they may be fairly frequent yet erroneously diagnosed as various psychiatric disorders. The risk of such reactions is generally greater with short-acting compounds but may occur with all benzodiazepine drugs. It is important to remember that the \"\"paradoxical\"\" reactions can also be encountered in short-term use and, in rare cases, even following the first ingestion of the drug ."

It's about half the strength of xanax, but nothing beats a good 'ol IV of lorazepam when you're in the hospital ;)According to most benzodiazepine equivalence tables, 1mg lorazepam equals 0.5mg alprazolam. I'd link you to the table but my comment wouldn't get posted due to the link. ( the site automatically flags the post as possible spam so it has to be manually approved, and they never go through).

"text": "What Does a Lorazepam Overdose Look Like? Written By: Leah Miller, MAArticle Summary Common Signs of Lorazepam Abuse Typical Lorazepam Overdose Symptoms Treatment for a Lorazepam Overdose Lorazepam, commonly marketed under the brand name Ativan, belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, which are commonly used for the short-term treatment of anxiety disorders. 1 Since lorazepam is a strong sedative drug, it is sometimes prescribed as a short-term remedy for insomnia. 1 In addition, this medication serves as an anticonvulsant, and may be administered intravenously to manage acute seizure activity as well as status epilepticus, a condition that causes continuous seizures. 2Using lorazepam consistently over a long time can lead to tolerance, where the brain becomes desensitized to the drug and the desired effects are not achieved unless the drug is taken more frequently or in higher doses. Sometimes, this leads to a drug overdose when a person takes more than prescribed. To prevent potentially fatal withdrawal symptoms, lorazepam dosing should always be tapered slowly under a doctor’s supervision before discontinuing use altogether. In 2014, approximately 330,000 people in the United States aged 12 or older were currently using sedatives for non-medical purposes, which is 0.1% of the population. 3 Between the years of 2001 and 2014, deaths due to benzodiazepine overdose increased fivefold. 4 This statistic is made all the more tragic since lorazepam overdose can not only be remedied with medical intervention, but potentially prevented from ever occurring through preemptive substance abuse treatment."

The tradition of giving friends red-and-white interwoven strings brings health and happiness during the year and is a reminder that spring is near. Baba Marta (\"\"Grandma March\"\") is believed to be a feisty lady who always seems to be grudging at her two brothers, January and February, while the sun only comes out when she smiles. As folklore there are different versions of the Baba Marta tale. One says that on that day she does her pre-spring cleaning and shakes her mattress for the last time before the next winter - all the feathers that come out of it pour on Earth like snow - the last snow of the year.

Follow 29 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Banning pit bull type dogs only punishes law-abiding, responsible owners. Those who seek to manipulate these dogs' desire to please their handlers will either take their activities further underground or find another breed of dog to suit their needs. In previous decades, the Doberman, the Rottweiler, and the GSD were considered \"\"inherently dangerous\"\" dogs. In response to people listing supposed \"\"dog bite\"\" data, don't buy it unless they can provide conclusive proof the dog *was* in fact a pit bull (not hearsay after an aggressive incident occurred, I'm talking genetic confirmation). See this website that helps illuminate how many dogs are commonly confused with the American Pit Bull Terrier: http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com/petbull/... The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) found that the APBT scores higher than the Collie, the Beagle, and many other \"\"family dogs\"\" that do not have to endure the unfair stigmatization that pit bull type dogs do. See this link for the 2008 statistics: http://atts.org/stats1.html You can also see what the temperament test consists of here: http://atts.org/testdesc.html What needs to be banned is bad owners, not dogs!

Fret positions are typically calculated using equal temperament, successively dividing the scale length minus the offset to the previous fret by 17.817. This series of calculations puts the 12th fret (octave) at exactly half the scale length."

The weighting of the basket has been altered only once. In 1999, the introduction of the Euro replaced many European currencies in the index.

[ 1] When the price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation reflects a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money – a loss of real value in the medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy. [ 2] [3] A chief measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general price index, usually the consumer price index, over time. [ 4] The opposite of inflation is deflation. Inflation affects economies in various positive and negative ways. The negative effects of inflation include an increase in the opportunity cost of holding money, uncertainty over future inflation which may discourage investment and savings, and if inflation were rapid enough, shortages of goods as consumers begin hoarding out of concern that prices will increase in the future. Positive effects include reducing the real burden of public and private debt, keeping nominal interest rates above zero so that central banks can adjust interest rates to stabilize the economy, and reducing unemployment due to nominal wage rigidity.

Breed associations calculate EPDs using vast amounts of data collected on economically important traits. The power of this data is tremendous. Performance information used to calculate EPDs come from combinations of the following: 1. The individual’s own performance record 2. Progeny records 3. Records of other relatives in the pedigree (particularly sire and dam) 4. Genetic correlations of traits As progeny records are added to a sire’s record, the accuracy of the EPD increases and becomes more reliable. Breeders need to remember that EPD values are not exact and actual progeny differences will vary from the predicted EPD values. Therefore, breeders should use proven bulls with high accuracies more heavily than young bulls with low accuracies."

Design/methodology/approach– Cross‐country regressions are run to see how GDP per capita fairs in comparison to the human capital index in explaining happiness based on survey questionnaires. Findings– The paper finds that GDP per capita accounts for a far greater share of the cross country variation in happiness based on survey data than the human capita index and assorted other measures of human welfare. Practical implications– The important implication is that the often heard criticism that GDP per capita is inappropriate for use in economic analysis, especially in the area of economic development and other international fields, because it is not specifically designed as a measure of welfare, may be unfounded. Originality/value– The paper shows that GDP per capita is a better measure of happiness defined in surveys than the human capital index. Keywords: Gross domestic product, Economic policy, Social policy, Human capital, Social welfare Type: Research paper Publisher: Emerald Group Publishing Limited Copyright: © Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2006 Published by Emerald Group Publishing Limited Article1 Introduction Section: Is GDP a good measure of happiness, or, are there better measures? Although GDP is commonly used as a measure of social welfare, GDP is designed as a measure of market output with the diverse output of the various goods and services produced during a given period aggregated into a single number using market valuation. Some would argue, and argue strongly, that the market valuation of output differs substantially from the true social happiness valuation of output. With this in mind, alternative measures of social well‐being have been put forth, developed, and promoted."

Click here Principles of Macroeconomics, v. 1.0by Libby Rittenberg and Timothy Tregarthen5.3 Price-Level Changes Learning Objectives Define inflation and deflation, explain how their rates are determined, and articulate why price-level changes matter. Explain what a price index is and outline the general steps in computing a price index. Describe and compare different price indexes. Explain how to convert nominal values to real values and explain why it is useful to make this calculation. Discuss the biases that may arise from price indexes that employ fixed market baskets of goods and services. Concern about changes in the price level has always dominated economic discussion. With inflation in the United States generally averaging only between 2% and 3% each year since 1990, it may seem surprising how much attention the behavior of the price level still commands. Yet inflation was a concern in 2004 when there was fear that the rising price of oil could trigger higher prices in other areas. Just the year before, when inflation fell below 2%, there was talk about the risk of deflation."

"text": "Constant dollars is the term used for measuring the value of the Unites States dollar in terms of value at a previous point in time. This metric is useful in measuring the dollar's value factoring in inflation or deflation that may occur over time. Measuring constant dollars requires a calculation that utilizes the consumer price index, or CPI, values of both the current year and the year in the past against which the current value is being measured. There are many useful applications for the measurement, which puts prices, wages, and earnings into a historical perspective. As time passes, the value of a single unit of any currency changes, and in the United States the value of the dollar has risen dramatically throughout the nation's history. Comparing what something costs now with what it cost at some point in the past is somewhat worthless as an exercise without some way of relating those costs with the prevailing value of the dollar at both points in time. Using the concept of constant dollars solves this conundrum, as it takes into account the effect of inflation or deflation on dollar values. Ad Evaluating the value of the dollar through time is done in concert with the consumer price index (CPI), which is an index that reflects the cost of living in the U. S. at the time when it is calculated. To calculate the constant dollars of an amount of current dollars compared to a previous year, the CPI of the previous year is divided by the current CPI. That number is then multiplied by the current dollar total."

"text": "Data Basics Deflating Nominal Values to Real Values How to remove the price effect from a data series or change nominal data to real values The Economic Problem Importance of Tracking Economic Data Business and economic researchers like to tally things. They count everything from jobs and houses to cars and toasters. In the aggregate, such information is important because it helps show at what rate the economy is expanding or contracting. And the rate at which the economy grows (independent of population growth) plays an integral part in overall economic well-being. But Some Economic Concepts Are Difficult to Measure Even though measuring any part of the economy creates certain logistical challenges, some concepts are simply harder to quantify than others. For example, keeping track of a meaningful measure of retail sales over a 10-year period presents more difficulty than simply recording housing starts in a given neighborhood. So Count Dollar Value, Not Quantity Enumerating housing starts is straightforward. Measuring retail sales, on the other hand, is not so easy. Retail goods comprise any number of different products, ranging from computers, kitchen appliances and clothing to auto parts and garden tools. This characteristic of the variable complicates the counting."

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is the 'Consumer Price Index - CPI'The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food and medical care. It is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them. Changes in the CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living; the CPI is one of the most frequently used statistics for identifying periods of inflation or deflation. Next Up Euro Interbank Offer Rate - Euribor Business Bondage Basket Of Goods Consumer Price Index For All Urban ... BREAKING DOWN 'Consumer Price Index - CPI'The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the CPI on a monthly basis and has calculated it as far back as 1913. While it does measure the variation in price for retail goods and other items paid by consumers, it does not include things like savings and investments, and can often exclude spending by visitors from another country. How CPI is Used CPI is widely used as an economic indicator. It is the most widely used measure of inflation and can, at times, be seen as a key to how effectiveness of the government’s economic policy. The CPI gives the government, businesses and citizens an idea about prices changes in the economy, and can act as a guide in order to make informed decisions about the economy. The CPI and the components that make it up can also be used as a deflator for other economic factors, including retail sales, hourly/weekly earnings and the value of a consumer’s dollar to find its purchasing power. In this case, the dollar’s purchasing power declines when prices increase."

The richest group of Canadians increased its share of total national income between 1993 and 2008, while the poorest group lost share. Middle-income Canadians also lost share. Although the gap between the rich and poor widened, Canadians in the poorest income group still saw their income levels rise, albeit minimally. What is income inequality and why does it matter? Income inequality is the extent to which income is distributed unevenly in a country. It’s an important companion statistic to income per capita, which measures how much income a country has, but not how this income is distributed. Income inequality within a country is often masked by the national average. High inequality raises two questions."

While we feel this is a reasonable definition to describe inflation (as most people think of it), the term is also too broad and frequently causes confusion. The term inflation as it is used by most people is very general. The term would be more accurate if it was used to describe what is experiencing inflation, such as: monetary inflation, price inflation, wage inflation or asset inflation. These terms describe what is happening with more accuracy. By just using the word “inflation”, most people combine multiple types of inflation into one description. However this is not always accurate as you will see below. Consumer Price Index (CPI) from 2000-2015The CPI measures the prices of goods and services in the US."

What’s the Difference?by Economonitor Jul 23, 2014On Tuesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.13 percent in June.by Ed Dolan What does such a figure really mean? Is it a measure of inflation or of the change in the cost of living? Until recently, I would have answered that there was no difference, but a recent series of posts by Mike Bryan on the Atlanta Fed’s Macroblog has made me think again. What’s the difference? As Bryan explains it, the cost-of-living concept arises from the role of money as a medium of exchange. When we say the cost of living increases, we mean that it gets harder to maintain a given standard of living on a given income. Either we have to be satisfied with fewer goods or services, or save less, or work harder. In the language of economics, a change in the cost of living is a real phenomenon."

[ 1] When the price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation reflects a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money – a loss of real value in the medium of exchange and unit of account within the economy. [ 2] [3] A chief measure of price inflation is the inflation rate, the annualized percentage change in a general price index, usually the consumer price index, over time. [ 4] The opposite of inflation is deflation. Inflation affects economies in various positive and negative ways. The negative effects of inflation include an increase in the opportunity cost of holding money, uncertainty over future inflation which may discourage investment and savings, and if inflation were rapid enough, shortages of goods as consumers begin hoarding out of concern that prices will increase in the future. Positive effects include reducing the real burden of public and private debt, keeping nominal interest rates above zero so that central banks can adjust interest rates to stabilize the economy, and reducing unemployment due to nominal wage rigidity.

The two types of lime that gardeners should become familiar with are agricultural lime and dolomite lime. Both types of lime contain calcium, and dolomite lime also contains magnesium. Lime adds these two essential elements to the soil, but it is more commonly used to correct the soil p H. Most plants prefer a p H between 5.5 and 6.5. If the p H is too high (alkaline) or too low (acidic), the plant can’t absorb the nutrients that are available in the soil. They develop symptoms of nutrient deficiency, such as pale leaves and stunted growth. Using lime for acidic soil raises the p H so that plant roots can absorb the necessary nutrients from the soil."

Hardy, Soil Testing Section chief NCDA&CS Agronomic Division (919) 733-2655Tips about soil p H and liming RALEIGH — In North Carolina, amending the soil with lime is almost always a sound investment. Most people know this but become confused by the variety of liming products available or the wording of recommendations. Here are a few pointers to make it easier to decide how and when to use lime. Take soil samples on a regular basis to determine if lime is needed. The N. C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services advises having sandy-textured soils tested at least once every two to three years and clay soils every three to four years. The soil test report recommends the amount of standard agricultural lime necessary to achieve the optimum p H for the specific crop and soil involved. If the soil report recommends lime, apply it as soon as possible. Crops, lawns and gardens cannot flourish without the proper soil p H. Lime is a major source of calcium and magnesium, which are essential plant nutrients. Adjusting soil p H can also increase the availability of other nutrients and neutralize toxic effects of hydrogen, aluminum and manganese."

"text": "Geological cycle includes many processes acting simultaneously. The most important of these begin with molten magma from within the earth forming into rock, then continue with rocks being broken down into soil, and that soil being converted back into rock. Rocks are classified according to their place in the geologic cycle. The three major categories are: Igneous,Sedimentary and Metamorphic Types of Rocks and types of rock formations Igneous Rock: The geologic cycle begins with magma, a molten rock deep inside the earth. This magma cools as it moves upward toward the ground surface, forming igneous rocks. Classification of Igneous Rock: On the basis texture (size, shape and arrangement of mineral grains in a rock) and mode of occurance, Igneous rock is divided broadly into two types: Intrusive (also called plutonic rocks): form below the ground surface, where they cool slowly,Extrusive (also called volcanic rocks) arrive at the ground surface in a molten state, such as through volcanic eruption. This type of igneous rock cool very rapidly.1. Igneous Rock formation: Hypabyssal Rock: Hypabyssal rocks are formed when consolidation of magma takes place very close to the earth’s surface in the form of smaller sheet like bodies (known as sills and dykes) that fill cracks inside other rocks. Some extrusive generally have finer grained, smoother surfaces. Some extrusive materials, such as volcanic ash, bypasses the rock stage and forms directly into sediment Common Igneous Rocks Some common igneous rocks include: Granite: is coarse grained, an intrusive rock."

How to Turn Pink Hydrangeas Blue1Spread aluminum sulfate around the hydrangea bush to lower the p H. Blue hydrangeas need a soil p H around 5.5. For instance, if the current p H rate is 7.5, as based on the results of a soil test, you would need 2.7 pounds of aluminum sulfate, according to a chart on clemson.edu. Increase or decrease the amount depending on your soil conditions and instructions on the chart on clemson.edu based on your p H.

What Does Lime Do to Vegetables? The philosophy behind organic gardening promotes using only naturally occurring materials to manage garden pests and fertilize soil. When creating the best organic soil mix for a vegetable garden, determination of soil p H is essential before adding any soil amendments. A slightly acid p H between 6.0 and 6.8 is optimal to grow most vegetables. Adding one or more types of organic matter helps create the healthiest soil to support vegetable growth and development. Compost Compost is the cornerstone of organic gardening, providing vegetable gardeners with an inexpensive way to enrich soil. To make compost, plant waste is layered in a compost bin, typically constructed from untreated lumber or concrete blocks. Leaves, lawn clippings, sawdust, shredded branches and wood chips can all go into compost. Between layers of plant matter, the University of Florida IFAS Extension recommends adding 1 cup of dolomite and 1 quart of chicken litter."

Soil p H is the measure of the acidity (sourness) or alkalinity (sweetness) of a soil. A simple numerical scale is used to express p H. The scale goes from 0.0 To 14.0, with 0.0 being most acid, and 14.0 being most alkaline. The value, 7.0 is neutral--i.e., neither acid or alkaline. Why is p H important? Soil p H is important because it influences several soil factors affecting plant growth, such as (1) soil bacteria, (2) nutrient leaching, (3) nutrient availability, (4) toxic elements, and (5) soil structure. Bacterial activity that releases nitrogen from organic matter and certain fertilizers is particularly affected by soil p H, because bacteria operate best in the p H range of 5.5 to 7.0. Plant nutrients leach out of soils with a p H below 5.0 much more rapidly than from soils with values between 5.0 and 7.5. Plant nutrients are generally most available to plants in the p H range 5.5 to 6.5."

Magnesium is a mobile nutrient, which means that the plant can move it from old leaves to new leaves. If you don't react to it promptly, a cannabis magnesium defiency can spiral out of control and cause your plant to lose a lot of lower leaves quickly. The plant will pull magnesium out of older leaves and bring them to the newer leaves. That's why a magnesium deficiency usually appears towards the bottom of the plant and on older, less important leaves. The edges of the leaves may become yellow or bright green and may start feeling crispy to the touch. This crispiness around the edges is different from nutrient burn, which does not lighten the margins inside the leaves. Sometimes you will also get light brown spotting within the margins or along the edges if the problem continues to get worse, though this may be partially other deficiencies, which often happen alongside a magnesium defiency. Magnesium deficiencies are easy to prevent and fix once you know what to do. Read on below to learn how."

To reach this goal, regular maintenance is necessary, such as creating a watering cycle, mowing and fertilizing. An additional step to create a healthy lawn is to add lime to balance out the soil's p H or strengthen the grass roots. To determine the p H of your soil (which determines the acidity of alkalinity), test it with a kit obtained from a local gardening store. If your p H level is below 7.0, then your soil is considered acidic, and if it's above that number, it is considered alkaline. An ideal p H level is between 6.0 and 7.0. Lime can be used as bulky oyster shells to finely ground to liquid form, depending on how you want to apply it to your lawn. Benefits of Adding Lime Adding lime to your lawn will repair damage in the root system, restore depleted nutrients, improve the growth of the grass and make it healthier overall. Since adding lime balances out the p H, your lawn will also have a lesser chance of thatch or nutrient loss. In short, it restores the natural beauty of it and strengthens the root systems, making it easier to create a green lush lawn."

"text": "Understanding Soil p H © Frances Michaels Raising p H Lowering p H On very poor soils it may be difficult to grow anything, including even a successful green manure crop. In this case the p H should be tested for excessive acidity or alkalinity, as this will interfere with uptake of nutrients by plants. p H is a measure of the acidity and alkalinity of the soil using a scale from 1 to 14; where 7 is neutral, less than 7 is acid and greater than 7 is alkaline. Fresh, clean water is neutral with a p H of 7, vinegar or lemon juice is very acid with a p H of 2.6 and baking soda is very alkaline with a p H of 8.5. It is important to remember that p H is a logarithmic scale, so the difference between a p H of 7 and a p H of 6 is 10 times the acidity, between 7 and 5 is a 100 times the acidity and between 7 and 4 is a 1000 times the acidity so it is obvious that this will have a major impact on the ability of plants to grow. p H is used as an indicator of the availability of other nutrients in the soil but only hydrogen ions are actually measured. Acid soils with a p H of less than 6 commonly have deficiencies in: Calcium Magnesium Phosphorus Potassium Molybdenum Acid soils with a p H of less than 4 commonly have toxic amounts of: Aluminium Manganese Alkaline soils with a p H of more than 7 the following nutrients may be unavailable: Iron Manganese Zinc Copper Boron Adjusting the p H will make these nutrients available to your plants. Organic matter will generally 'buffer' plants against the impact of acidity so that a soil with a lower p H range will still successfully grow plants. Plants vary in their desired p H range and this is to do with the p H of the soil type they evolved in. For example, lavenders are native to the limestone soils of the Mediterranean and so prefer an alkaline soil."

S. state of Texas The Spanish Missions in Texas comprise a series of religious outposts established by Spanish Catholic Dominicans, Jesuits, and Franciscans to spread the Catholic doctrine among area Native Americans, but with the added benefit of giving Spain a toehold in the frontier land. The missions introduced European livestock, fruits, vegetables, and industry into the Texas area. In addition to the presidio (fort) and pueblo (town), the misión was one of the three major agencies employed by the Spanish crown to extend its borders and consolidate its colonial territories. In all, twenty-six missions were maintained for different lengths of time within the future boundaries of the state of Texas. Since 1493, Spain had maintained missions throughout New Spain (Mexico and portions of what today are the southwestern United States) to facilitate colonization. The eastern Tejas missions were a direct response to fear of French encroachment when the remains of La Salle's Fort Saint Louis were discovered near Matagorda Bay in 1689, and a response to the first permanent French outposts along the Gulf Coast ten years later. Following government policy, Franciscan missionaries sought to make life within mission communities closely resemble that of Spanish villages and Spanish culture. To become Spanish citizens and \"\"productive\"\" inhabitants, Native Americans learned vocational skills. As plows, farm implements, and gear for horses, oxen, and mules fell into disrepair, blacksmithing skills soon became indispensable. Weaving skills were needed to help clothe the inhabitants."

It was immediately seen as an important naval base for the Spaniards to protect their colony from outside invaders. In March, 1776, a scouting party under the direction of Lt. Don Jose Joaquin Moraga visited the area and named the small stream and lake after the Saint of the day, Arroyo de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (Lake of Our Lady of Sorrows). He returned to Monterey to convey the news and received his commission to establish a presidio and mission in the name of Carlos III of Spain. Establishment of Mission San Francisco Asis Lieut. Jose Joaquin Moraga with a small expeditionary band of 16 soldiers left Monterey Presidio June 17, 1776, for San Francisco bay to establish both a presidio and a mission here. Father Francisco Palou and Father Pedro Cambon accompanied the expedition as founders of the mission."

"text": "Montezuma County, famous for the ancient Native American ruins at Mesa Verde, is the southwesternmost county in Colorado. The county covers 2,040 square miles of the Colorado Plateau, and has the distinction of bordering Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona. It is known as the Four Corners region, where the boundaries of four states intersect. Montezuma County is surrounded by three different San Juan Counties: San Juan County, Colorado to the northeast; San Juan County, New Mexico to the south; and San Juan County, Utah to the west. Dolores County, Colorado, lies along its northern border and La Plata County along its eastern. The county’s southwest corner touches Apache County, Arizona. When the county was established in 1889, the ruins within its borders were thought to be of Aztec origin. Thus, Montezuma County is named after the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II, and its county seat, Cortez, is named after the Spanish conquistador who vanquished him. Most of the county’s ancient Native American ruins are located in Mesa Verde National Park in the southeast and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in the west. In addition, Hovenweep National Monument lies just over the county’s western border in Utah."

"text": "\"What does Dolores mean? Pronounce Dolores [ 3 syll. do - lo - res, dol -or- es ] The baby girl name Dolores is pronounced as Dah-L OW R-ih S (English) or Dow-L OW -Reh S (Spanish) †. Dolores is mainly used in the English, German, and Spanish languages, and it is of Spanish origin. A biblical name, it is derived literally from the word 'dolores' meaning pain. The name refers to one of the many Spanish titles for the Virgin Mary, Maria de los Dolores, which means 'Mary of the Sorrows'. It was originally used for girls born on the feast day of the Seven Sorrows of Mary, which falls on September 15. Traditionally, Maria was considered too sacred to use, therefore girls were often christened with other associated names. The pet forms later came to be associated with Lola Montez (1821-1861), the courtesan and mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria, and Lolita (1955), the novel by Vladimir Nabokov which gave rise to the English pop culture term 'Lolita' as a reference to a sexually precocious young girl. The name Dolores was first adopted by English speakers in the 19th century, and it saw a boost in popularity in 20th century USA due to the influx of Spanish immigrants. It has traditionally been popular with Roman Catholics."

"text": "General Interest1810Mexican War of Independence begins Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, a Catholic priest, launches the Mexican War of Independence with the issuing of his Grito de Dolores, or “Cry of Dolores,” The revolutionary tract, so-named because it was publicly read by Hidalgo in the town of Dolores, called for the end of 300 years of Spanish rule in Mexico, redistribution of land, and racial equality. Thousands of Indians and mestizos flocked to Hidalgo’s banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe, and soon the peasant army was on the march to Mexico City. In the early 19th century, Napoleon’s occupation of Spain led to the outbreak of revolts all across Spanish America. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla–“the father of Mexican independence”–launched the Mexican rebellion with his “Cry of Delores,” and his populist army came close to capturing the Mexican capital. Defeated at Calderón in January 1811, he fled north but was captured and executed. He was followed by other peasant leaders, however, such as José María Morelos y Pavón, Mariano Matamoros, and Vicente Guerrero, who all led armies of native and racially mixed revolutionaries against the Spanish and the Royalists. Ironically, it was the Royalists–made up of Mexicans of Spanish descent and other conservatives–who ultimately brought about independence. In 1820, liberals took power in Spain, and the new government promised reforms to appease the Mexican revolutionaries. In response, Mexican conservatives called for independence as a means of maintaining their privileged position in Mexican society. In early 1821, Agustín de Iturbide, the leader of the Royalist forces, negotiated the Plan of Iguala with Vicente Guerrero."

The borough is centered on the formerly independent city of Xochimilco, which was established on what was the southern shore of Lake Xochimilco in the pre-Hispanic period. Today, the borough consists of the eighteen “barrios” or neighborhoods of this city along with fourteen “pueblos” or villages that surround it, covering an area of 125 km 2 (48 sq mi). The borough is in the southeastern part of the city and has an identity that is separate from the historic center of Mexico City, due to its historic separation from that city during most of its history. Xochimilco is best known for its canals, which are left from what was an extensive lake and canal system that connected most of the settlements of the Valley of Mexico. These canals, along with artificial islands called chinampas, attract tourists and other city residents to ride on colorful gondola -like boats called “ trajineras ” around the 170 km (110 mi) of canals. This canal and chinampa system, as a vestige of the area’s pre-Hispanic past, has made Xochimilco a World Heritage Site."

For naming customs in Hispanic America, see Naming customs of Hispanic America. Spanish naming customs are historical traditions for naming children practised in Spain. According to these customs, a person's name consists of a given name (simple or composite) followed by two family names ( surnames ). The first surname is usually the father's first surname, and the second the mother's first surname. In recent years, the order of the surnames can be decided at birth. Often, the practice is to use one given name and the first surname only (e.g. Miguel de Unamuno ), with the full name being used in legal, formal, and documentary matters, or for disambiguation when the first surname is very common (e.g. Federico García Lorca ). [ 1]. In these cases, it is common to use only the second surname, as in “Lorca” or “Zapatero”.

He and his elder brother attended a school run by the Jesuits, and both decided to join the priesthood. They studied at San Nicolás Obisbo , a prestigious school in Valladolid (now Morelia). Miguel distinguished himself as a student and received top marks in his class. He would go on to become rector of his old school, becoming known as a top theologian. When his elder brother died in 1803, Miguel took over for him as priest of the town of Dolores. Conspiracy: Hidalgo often hosted gatherings at his home where he would talk about whether it was the duty of the people to obey or overthrow an unjust tyrant. Hidalgo believed the Spanish crown was such a tyrant: a royal collection of debt had ruined the finances of the Hidalgo family, and he saw injustice daily in his work with the poor. There was a conspiracy for independence in Querétaro at this time: the conspiracy felt that they needed someone with moral authority, a relationship with the lower classes and good connections. Hidalgo was recruited and joined without reservation."

"text": "Archives | 1983DOLORES DEL RIO, 77, IS DEAD; FILM STAR IN U. S. AND MEXICOBy DOROTHY J. GAITERView page in Times Machine, Page 00023 The New York Times Archives Dolores Del Rio, an actress of remarkable beauty who became a film star in Hollywood and in her native Mexico, died Monday at her home in Newport Beach, Calif. She was 77 years old and had been in failing health. During the days of silent films, Miss Del Rio's face, elegant and expressive, made her one of Hollywood's important actresses and one of its first Latin stars. Her first big movie was ''What Price Glory,'' the landmark film directed by Raoul Walsh in 1926, in which she portrayed a French peasant. Her first starring role was a portrayal of a Russian girl in ''Resurrection'' in 1927. Her next starring role came in 1928 in ''Ramona,'' the tragic story of a beauty of Spanish and Indian extraction. Of ''Ramona,'' Mordaunt Hall wrote in The New York Times: ''Miss Del Rio's interpretation of Romona is an achievment. Not once does she overact, and yet she is perceived weeping and almost hysterical. She is most careful in all the moods of the character. Her beauty is another point in her favor.'' Not a Spanish Actress In Miss Del Rio's first appearance on film, in ''Joanna'' in 1925, she was billed as a ''Spanish actress,'' a label that was changed to ''Mexican'' only at her insistence."

"text": "\"hashtable vs hashset Archived Forums V > Visual C# Language Question0Sign in to vote Hi All,What is the difference between hashtable and hashset. When can we use hashset instead of hashtable Wednesday, November 09, 2011 5:30 AMAnswers0Sign in to vote Hi arulraj2011,Hashtable is essentially a Key-Value-Pair collection where you define the key and the value then you can find the value by using the key. Hash Set allowes you to add a value, this value is unique and you do not define the key. See these two resources for more examples and discussions:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1995885/how-do-i-use-hashtables-hashsets-in-nethttp://geekswithblogs.net/mnf/archive/2009/05/13/use-hashset-instead-of-seen-hashtable.aspx Hope this helps Mark good replies as helpful and correct ones as answers! - http://blog.filipekberg.se Marked as answer by Bob Shen Microsoft contingent staff, Moderator Monday, November 21, 2011 3:19 AMWednesday, November 09, 2011 7:53 AM0Sign in to vote Hash Set can be used where you want to maintain a list of value and your value can be null,non-unique. where as Hashtable is basically a data structure to retain values of key-value pair where your key can not be duplicated. • It does not allow null for key • It is synchronized. So it comes with its cost. Only one thread can access in one time. Hash Map is another data structure concept which is not supported by .net There is performance benifit of Hash Set <int> over List<int>. From usability point of view you should ask when to use Hash Table over Dictnary and Hash Set over List."

"text": "\"Main Page | Class List | File List | Class Members | File Members | Related Pages The wsse plugin Security Header The material in this section relates to the WS-Security specification section 5. To use the wsse plugin: Run wsdl2h -t typemap.dat on a WSDL of a service that requires WS-Security headers. The typemap.dat file is used to recognize and translate Security header blocks. Run soapcpp2 on the header file produced by wsdl2h. ( Re-)compile stdsoap2.c/pp, dom.c/pp, smdevp.c, wsseapi.c and the generated source files with the -DWITH_DOM and -DWITH_OPENSSL compile flags set. The smdevp.c and wssapi.c files are located in the 'plugin' directory. Use the wsse plugin API functions described below to add and verify Security headers. An example wsse client/server application can be found in samples/wsse. The Security header block was generated from the WS-Security schema with the wsdl2h tool and WS/WS-typemap.dat:$ wsdl2h -cegxy -o wsse.h -t WS/WS-typemap.dat WS/wsse.xsd The same process was used to generate the header file ds.h from the XML digital signatures core schema. The import/wsse.h file has the following definition for the Security header block:typedef struct _wsse__Security { struct _wsu__Timestamp * wsu__Timestamp; struct _wsse__Username Token * Username Token; struct _wsse__Binary Security Token * Binary Security Token; struct ds__Signature Type * ds__Signature; @ char * SOAP_ENV__actor; @ char * SOAP_ENV__role; } _wsse__Security ;To add an empty Security header block to the SOAP header, use:soap_wsse_add_Security (soap);To delete a Security header, use:soap_wsse_delete_Security (soap);Adding an empty Security header block is not very useful."

"text": "\"Previous: Control C Programming Next: Standard libraries In C programming, all executable code resides within a function. A function is a named block of code that performs a task and then returns control to a caller. Note that other programming languages may distinguish between a \"\"function\"\", \"\"subroutine\"\", \"\"subprogram\"\", \"\"procedure\"\", or \"\"method\"\" -- in C, these are all functions. A function is often executed (called) several times, from several different places, during a single execution of the program. After finishing a subroutine, the program will branch back (return) to the point after the call. Functions are a powerful programming tool. As a basic example, suppose you are writing code to print out the first 5 squares of numbers, do some intermediate processing, then print the first 5 squares again. We could write it like this:#include <stdio.h>int main ( void) {int i;for ( i = 1; i <= 5; i ++) {printf ( \"\"%d \"\", i * i );}for ( i = 1; i <= 5; i ++) {printf ( \"\"%d \"\", i * i );}return 0;}We have to write the same loop twice. We may want to somehow put this code in a separate place and simply jump to this code when we want to use it. This would look like:#include <stdio.h>void Print_Squares ( void) {int i;for ( i = 1; i <= 5; i ++) {printf ( \"\"%d \"\", i * i );}}int main ( void) {Print_Squares ();Print_Squares ();return 0;}This is precisely what functions are for."

"text": "Where does the Dom Pérignon brand name come from? 3 min readby christa | Feb 27, 2013 | Naming | 1 comment Everyone has a glass (or bottle?) of bubbly every now and then, right? Today the alcoholic beverage has become a symbol of celebration – you drink it on anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, New Year etc. But don’t confuse sparkling wine with Champagne – as most of people know nowadays, Champagne is a type of bubbly wine, produced in a certain way from grapes grown specifically in the Champagne region in France. Everything else you’re being sold as “champagne” is nothing but bubbly wine trying to get some money on the back of the famous wine brand. However, the story about Champagne is widely known, and in this article I wanted to focus on a specific brand of Champagne – the vintage Dom Pérignon. The brand of sparkly wine is owned by one of the French Champagne houses – Moët & Chandon. Fun fact: the producers are co-founders of LVMH – a French multinational luxury goods conglomerate, owner of brands like Givenchy, Louis Vutton, Bulgari, Hennessy, Zenith and many more. Still, as you can see Dom Pérignon is obviously not names after a location, or founder’s name."

Parsers are used everywhere in software. An XML Parser is a parser that is designed to read XML and create a way for programs to use XML. There are different types, and each has its advantages. Unless a program simply and blindly copies the whole XML file as a unit, every program must implement or call on an XML parser. The main types of parsers are known by some funny names: SAX, DOM and pull. For each type, there are some excellent implementations freely available for a variety of languages, including Java, C++, C#, VB# (in fact, any . Net language), PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby and so on.

"text": "The Python Standard Library and What Comes with Jython ¶Release: 2.5Date: March 02, 2011While The Python Language Reference describes the exact syntax and semantics of the Python language, this library reference manual describes the standard library that is distributed with Jython. It also describes some of the optional components that are commonly included in Python distributions. Python’s standard library is very extensive, offering a wide range of facilities. The library contains built-in modules (written in C) that provide access to system functionality such as file I/O that would otherwise be inaccessible to Python programmers, as well as modules written in Python that provide standardized solutions for many problems that occur in everyday programming. Some of these modules are explicitly designed to encourage and enhance the portability of Python programs by abstracting away platform-specifics into platform-neutral APIs. Unlike the CPython distribution, Jython does not include built-in libraries written in C as they will not work on the Java platform. Instead, there are certain libraries that have been re-written in the Java languages to be included with Jython. Likewise, most of the modules written in Python are included with the Jython distribution as any Python that does not use C extensions should work on Jython. In addition to the standard library, there is a growing collection of several thousand components (from individual programs and modules to packages and entire application development frameworks), available from the Python Package Index. Many of these can be used with Jython as well."

I have declared the enum this way:1 2 3 4 5enum My Type { One Type = 0x8001, Another Type = 0x0304 };The message comes as a pointer that I an incrementing along, and the first 16-bits are the type that should correspond to this enum, so I cast it as follows: My Type type = static_cast <My Type> (msg Ptr [0]); where msg Ptr is a declared as unsigned int*. The value at msg Ptr [0] is 0x8001 (32769), but the value stored in type becomes 0x FFFFFFFFFFFF8001 (-32767) as observed in my watch window. I've never run into a situation like this before, so I'm assuming there must be a detail about either casting or enumerative declaration that I'm not understanding. Suggestions? Jun 28, 2010 at 9:48amkempofighter (1183)Unfortunately you are running into a problem that I have had in the past. This is called sign extension. Since the enum is an integral value that is evidently stored as 32 bits and the input value has the MSB set you are seeing the left most 16 bits being filled with the sign bit. The enum is typically a signed integral type. I don't believe that there is a way to make this work via a cast. You'll probably have to memcpy the values from the message into a zero initialized 32 bit integer first."

I don't have an obviously authoritative source, but I'll try to explain from first principles using the underlying source code and hopefully not make too many mistakes in the process. I started off investigating the first error message. The code that produces the error message in Chromium is https://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/net/base/address_tracker_linux.cc line 138:// Request notifications. struct sockaddr_nl addr = {}; addr.nl_family = AF_NETLINK; addr.nl_pid = getpid (); // TODO (szym): Track RTMGRP_LINK as well for ifi_type, http://crbug.com/113993 addr.nl_groups = RTMGRP_IPV4_IFADDR | RTMGRP_IPV6_IFADDR | RTMGRP_NOTIFY | RTMGRP_LINK; int rv = bind (netlink_fd_, reinterpret_cast<struct sockaddr*> (&addr), sizeof (addr)); if (rv < 0) { PLOG (ERROR) << \"\"Could not bind NETLINK socket\"\"; Abort And Force Online (); return; }The actual grsec-related failure happens in the bind () call, which attempts to set up a netlink socket which will receive notifications whenever an interface IPv4 or IPv6 address changes and whenever a link state changes."

"text": "\"Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)Tweetnavigation search DOMS is common in running, and while the soreness is delayed, the accompanying weakness is immediate. A bout of DOMS inducing exercise provides protection against future DOMS, and so it's a critical part of training. By intentionally inducing DOMS you can prevent the soreness that occurs after long distance races. The less obvious, but more important benefit is that you also prevent some of the weakness that occurs towards the end of longer races. This is a key benefit to Downhill Running and especially the Treadmill Descent. I believe that incorporating Treadmill Descents into my training is the reason I've completed 100 mile races with little muscle soreness.

It affects people who weight train and run particularly, and DOMS can produce anything from mild muscle soreness to debilitating pain and weakness. DOMS is caused by eccentric stress, where the muscles working to resist lengthening, such as lowering a weight or absorbing the landing forces of running. Downhill Running is a particular source of eccentric stress."

"text": "\"Initializers Visual Studio 2015 Other Versions The latest version of this topic can be found at Initializers. An initializer specifies the initial value of a variable. You can initialize variables in these contexts: In the definition of a variable: C++int i = 3; Point p1 { 1, 2 };As one of the parameters of a function: C++set_point (Point { 5, 6 });As the return value of a function: C++Point get_new_point ( int x, int y) { return { x, y }; } Point get_new_point ( int x, int y) { return Point { x, y }; }Initializers may take these forms: An expression (or a comma-separated list of expressions) in parentheses: C++Point p1 (1, 2);An equals sign followed by an expression: C++string s = \"\"hello\"\";A braced initializer list. The list may be empty or may consist of a set of lists, as in the following example: C++struct Point { int x; int y; }; class Point Consumer { public: void set_point (Point p) {}; void set_points (initializer_list<Point> my_list) {}; }; int main () { Point Consumer pc {}; pc.set_point ( {}); pc.set_point ( { 3, 4 }); pc.set_points ( { { 3, 4 }, { 5, 6 } }); }Kinds of initialization There are several kinds of initialization, which may occur at different points in program execution. Different kinds of initialization are not mutually exclusive—for example, list initialization can trigger value initialization and in other circumstances, it can trigger aggregate initialization. Zero initialization Zero initialization is the setting of a variable to a zero value implicitly converted to the type: Numeric variables are initialized to 0 (or 0.0, or 0.0000000000, etc.). Char variables are initialized to ‘\\0’. Pointers are initialized to nullptr. Arrays, POD classes, structs, and unions have their members initialized to a zero value. Zero initialization is performed at different times: At program startup, for all named variables that have static duration."

Published in two volumes, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published, such as the Bokklubben World Library collection that cites Don Quixote as the authors' choice for the \"\"best literary work ever written\"\". [ 2]The story follows the adventures of a noble ( hidalgo) named Alonso Quixano who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. Don Quixote, in the first part of the book, does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story. Throughout the novel, Cervantes uses such literary techniques as realism, metatheatre, and intertextuality. The book had a major influence on the literary community, as evidenced by direct references in Alexandre Dumas ' The Three Musketeers (1844), Mark Twain 's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and Edmond Rostand 's Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), as well as the word \"\" quixotic \"\" and the epithet \"\" Lothario \"\"; the latter refers to a character in \"\" El curioso impertinente \"\" (\"\"The Impertinently Curious Man\"\"), an intercalated story that appears in Part One, chapters 33–35. Arthur Schopenhauer cited Don Quixote as one of the four greatest novels ever written, along with Tristram Shandy, La Nouvelle Héloïse, and Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre. ["

Eli served for his country in the second world war then after pursued in an acting career due to his love for drama. Eli played the third Mr. Freeze in the Batman TV series which was also the character’s last appearance. The previous Mr. Freeze was played by the incredibly unpopular Otto Preminger, which is the main reason Eli replaced him as Freeze. “When my kids were little, they’d always plead with me to appear on ‘Captain Kangaroo’ or ‘Batman’ or ‘Rawhide,’ ‘Howdy Doody,’…. Otto Preminger (who created Mr. Freeze) was unavailable for one sequence, so I stepped into the character, with his German accent intact.

Named after the 1950s United States working-class youth subculture known as greasers, the musical is set in 1959 at fictional Rydell High School (based on William Howard Taft School in Chicago, Illinois [1]) [2] and follows ten working-class teenagers as they navigate the complexities of peer pressure, politics, personal core values, and love. The score borrows heavily from the sounds of early rock and roll. In its original production in Chicago, Grease was a raunchy, raw, aggressive, vulgar show. Subsequent productions sanitized it and tamed it down. [ 3] The show mentions social issues such as teenage pregnancy, peer pressure and gang violence; its themes include love, friendship, teenage rebellion, sexual exploration during adolescence, and, to some extent, class consciousness / class conflict."

"text": "How Does It Work The solution of school glue with borax and water produces a putty-like material that’s elastic and flows very slowly. The glue is actually made of a polymer material. In simplest terms, a polymer is a long chain of identical, repeating molecules. You can use the image of tiny steel chains to understand why this polymer behaves the way it does. Each link in a chain is a molecule in the polymer and one link is identical to another. When the chains are in a pile and you reach in to grab one, that’s what you get: one. If you dump them on the floor, they’re not connected to each other so they spread out everywhere like water. The strands flow over each other like the liquid glue in the bowl. Something caused a change, however. Let’s say you toss a few trillion tiny, round magnets into the pile of steel chains."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Judicial review is a procedure in English law whereby courts supervise the exercise of power, often by a public body. A person who feels that an exercise of power is unlawful may apply to the Administrative Court (a division of the High Court) for judicial review of a decision. If the court finds the decision unlawful it may have it set aside (quashed) and possibly award damages. A court may impose an injunction upon the public body. When creating a public body, legislation will often define duties, limits of power, and prescribe the reasoning a body must use to make decisions. These provisions provide a means for a decision to be found unlawful. In addition, the Human Rights Act 1998 provides that law must be interpreted and public bodies must act in a manner compliant with the European Convention on Human Rights. There are also common law constraints on the decision-making process of a body. Unlike the United States and some other jurisdictions, English law does not permit judicial review of primary legislation (laws passed by Parliament), except in a few cases where primary legislation is contrary to EU law or the European Convention on Human Rights. A person wronged by an Act of Parliament therefore cannot apply for judicial review unless this is the case, but may still argue that a body did not follow the Act."

What customers can create with those three options, though, is practically endless. The restaurant’s namesake item, the piada, starts with an Italian thin-crust dough made with flour and olive oil. That crust is baked on a stone grill, then filled with ingredients and hand rolled. It’s similar to a wrap or a burrito, but an Italian version. The Piada concept is also similar in service and style to Chipotle, but, again, an Italian version. Piada founder and CEO Chris Doody makes no secret of his admiration for Chipotle, and as a former cofounder of the Bravo Brio Restaurant Group, he has extensive knowledge of Italian cuisine. “I had experience in full-service Italian dining,” Doody says. “ But nobody was doing much in fast casual with Italian, as far as I could see."

ADVERTISEMENTThe musician and actor died Sunday in Hawthorne of complications of prostate cancer, said his son, Christopher Anderson. Long mute as Clarabell, Anderson broke the clown's silence in the show's final episode in 1960. With trembling lips and a visible tear in his eye, he spoke the show's final words: \"\"Goodbye, kids. \"\" Though Anderson was not the only man to play \"\" Buffalo Bob \"\" Smith's mute sidekick, he was the best, Smith said in his memoir. With the Peanut Gallery looking on, Anderson used bicycle horns to give yes and no answers. For more expressive moments, he wielded a bottle of seltzer. The show, which launched in 1947 when televisions were still a novelty, was the first network weekday children's show. Anderson joined \"\"Doodyville,\"\" a circus town peopled with puppets and human actors and watched by a Peanut Gallery of kids, in the mid 1950's.

What does come as a surprise is that the city may sell off some of its art collection to try to stop some of the bleeding—including Howdy Doody. Wait, what? How did Howdy Doody end up in Detroit? We have the answer, in addition to what happened to 10 other props you’ll remember from childhood.1. Howdy Doody So if you weren’t already aware, you now know that Howdy Doody (above), the beloved cowboy puppet from the 1950s-era children’s show of the same name, has called the Detroit Institute of Arts home for the last several years. But why? Howdy Doody host Buffalo Bob Smith was from Buffalo, New York (go figure). When he died in 1998, fights erupted between various groups of people who believed they had a claim to the marionette.

Sorry, Allison Williams. You tried, girl. But Grease had everything: incredible production value, actually talented and charismatic humans (for the most part), impressively complex choreography, endless matching sweater sets, the exact amount of cheesiness and intrinsic misogyny that lends itself to relentless but good-natured mocking in recaps, thinly veiled attempts at grandfathering in some gender parity, and what was clearly some hardcore prep work on the part of the cast and crew. Let’s not waste time with pleasantries, though. We’ve got three hours of high-energy, high-camp theatrics ahead of us. Related: How Grease Beat the Odds and Became the Biggest Movie Musical of the 20th Century Grease kicks off with a rejected Sandals commercial, starring Julianne Hough and Aaron Tveit as Two People Who Do Not Understand How to Dress for the Beach. Tveit, as Danny, is particularly misinformed about beachwear, sporting a button down and hair so squat and stiff it could stand in for Ted Cruz during his next campaign commercial. His hair is terrifying. It will haunt me for the rest of this recap and the rest of my life."

Prominent ears. Obama’s got ’em. Howdy Doody and Dumbo did too. For some kids the teasing and schoolyard taunts they get over large, protruding ears can make growing up a painful and isolating experience. It’s not a common condition. An estimated 5 percent of the population has some sort of ear malformation including missing ears, small ears and protruding ears. But protruding ears can be fixed by a physician for patients who can afford to pay for it. The operation is called otoplasty and it involves making a small incision at the back of the ear, lifting up the skin and then either creating a fold if one is lacking, or in the case of too much cartilage, taking some out. Recovery takes 24 to 48 hours with a kid back to full playing in about five to seven days."

Every candidate and their squad are doing their best to appear as likable and approachable as possible. In an extensive interview with GQ, Melania Trump does what she can to come across as a likable potential first lady. Upon reading the long piece, I’ve concluded that she is far too rich to be relatable. Here are the 6 reasons why. The Clintons went to their wedding. Not only is this a terribly ironic detail, it gives us a gauge as to what kind of wedding this was. It was back in 2005, back when the newlyweds were mere “private citizens” according to Melania. Julia Ioffe, the author of the GQ piece, was quick to point out the falseness of Melania’s labeling of the couple. “Just two private citizens getting hitched at the groom’s 126-room Florida palace."

However, the bad news is that we're about to have to wait a veerrrrryyyyyy long time for more sudsy goodness.

"text": "5Gallery: Great lakes water temperatures Nov. 26Print Email By Mark Torregrossa | [email protected] Follow on Twitter on November 26, 2014 at 2:11 PM0 shares Lake Erie and Lake Michigan water temperatures cooled dramatically in the past week due to the extremely cold arctic air that hit the Great Lakes. In fact, all of the Great Lakes are cooling now, but Lake Erie and Lake Michigan water temperatures cooled the most and now sit farthest from the average temperature for today. Lake Erie now has a current average temperature of 43.9°F, while the 20 year average water temperature for this date is 47.6°F. Lake Michigan has a current average temperature of 42.5°F compared to the 20 year average water temperature of 45.3°F. Lake Superior is now 1.8°F below normal. Lakes Huron and Ontario are both 0.9°F colder than the 20 year average. Lakes Erie and Michigan, being 3.7°F and 2.8°F colder than normal, are substantially colder than normal. How does this affect Michigan? When you look at the temperature graphics above, you see that water temperatures can cool or warm significantly over the course of a few weeks of abnormal weather. The colder water, if it continues to trend in that direction, would lead to earlier large areas of ice formation."

When it comes to allowing yourself some leeway, moderation is key. But what does \"\"moderation\"\" even mean? For gourmands, a weekly cheeseburger might seem reasonable; for health nuts, maybe it's one every 3 months—minus the cheese and bun. To find out who's right, we turned to Sarah Krieger, RD, and Joan Salge Blake, RD, from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. For starters, they say you should only indulge in what you love—and skip the rest. If you don't have a weakness for fries, don't eat them; if you don't have a sweet tooth, don't have dessert simply because it's there. \"\" For me, I skip pizza and burgers, but I eat a great-tasting sweet treat every day,\"\" says Krieger. \"\" I balance it with exercise and eating a variety of nutritious foods. \"\" Click through our slideshow for more tips on smart splurges."

But it’s heating up lately. A lot. In fact, Natural News just ran a very impassioned op-ed piec e about the dangers of fluoridation in water. Calgary recently voted to stop fluoridating its water supply, while nearly simultaneously, parts of England are now fluoridating their water for the first time ever. It’s a clusterpekingduck. I don’t know how you feel about fluoridation, but I’m a little concerned about it. I’m in an extra special situation, because the fluoride levels in Manitou Springs are naturally sky high."

First you have to figure out what is it you are looking for? If you make a dot in the center of the triangle (which is also the center of the circle) and draw a line from the center to one of the vertices of the triangle you have the radius of the triangle and also of the circle. If you draw all 3 radii from the triangle's center to its vertices, you see you have created 3 triangles within that one triangle. The trick here is to figure out what your triangle measures are as far as angles go. If we take the interior measures of those 3 triangles, we get that each one has a measure of 120 (360/3=120). So that's one of your angles, the one across from the side measuring 6."

"text": "What Is Dopamine & Norepinephrine?by LIA STANNARD Aug. 14, 2017Dopamine & norepinephrine are two critical neurotransmitters that regulate your mood and behavior. Both dopamine and norepinephrine are in tricyclic antidepressant medications which are used to treat depression. However, neither dopamine or norepinephrine can cross the blood-brain barrier, which protects your brain, so their precursor is needed in order to increase levels of these neurotransmitters in your brain. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Synthesis Both dopamine and norepinephrine are synthesized from the same precursor, the amino acid tyrosine. Enzymes are used to convert tyrosine into L-DOPA, which is used as a treatment in Parkinson's disease. Another enzyme can convert L-DOPA into dopamine and later into norepinephrine. Norepinephrine is stored in synaptic vesicles, and can be later broken down by additional enzymes. Each of the neurotransmitters can be broken down into the precursor in order to be reused at a later date. Dopamine Dopamine is important in the regulation of your mood. In your brain, there are multiple dopamine pathways, which are used to send dopamine to different areas of the brain."

In this article we discuss D2-like receptors, their pharmacodynamics and how they relate to pathological disease processes such as schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease. With a better understanding of the pathways behind the normal functioning of the receptors, researchers endeavor to develop novel drugs that can be used to appropriately manage associated pathological conditions. Structural Features and Pharmacodynamics Dopamine receptors are divided into two major subfamilies: D1-like and D2-like. Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter that mediates physiological functions in both the central and peripheral nervous system by interacting with dopamine cell surface receptors. Dopamine receptors are metabotropic G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRS) that are classified into D1-like and D2-like receptors based upon their biochemical, pharmacological and physiological effects. D2 receptors are G-protein coupled receptors GPRCS are made up of seven membrane spanning segments whereby the amino (N) terminal is extracellular and the carboxyl (C) terminal is intracellular. One of the intracellular loops is larger than the rest and it is this loop that interacts with the G-protein. G-proteins are made up of three protein subunits, α,β and γ whereby the βγ subunit serves to anchor the protein into the membrane. G proteins are functionally classified into several classes such as G αs and G αi."

The two most agreed upon theories are an imbalance of dopamine (a chemical that transmits signals between nerve cells in the brain) and low iron levels. I'm going to present evidence that both of these conditions could be caused by the presence of inflammation. In other words, I believe inflammation to be the primary condition while restless legs, dopamine imbalance and low irons levels are simply effects of this chronic state. Because of the dopamine theory, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of horrendous dopamine agonist drugs (drugs with terrible side-effects that were created for Parkinson's patients) have been blindly dished out by doctors to their RLS patients. This page provides scientific evidence that inflammation can affect dopamine levels.

Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter that occurs in a wide variety of animals, including both vertebrates and invertebrates. In the brain, this phenethylamine functions as a neurotransmitter, activating the five types of dopamine receptors - D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5 - and their variants.

"text": "Brain Health and Functionality By Marvelous The brain is awash in chemicals. Among these chemicals, there’s one that always stands out: dopamine. It is the driving force behind every human being’s sinful predilections and forbidden cravings. It is associated with addiction, attention, motivation, and all the hedonistic pursuits ever known to man. But mainstream culture aside, what roles does dopamine specifically play in the brain that make it highly controversial even in neuroscience? Dopamine: An Overview Known to many as the “feel-good” chemical, the catecholamine neurotransmitter dopamine is not as plentiful as it has been conceived to be. In fact, it is so scarce, that only 0.3% of the brain’s millions of neurons produce this. Although this is the case, it is responsible for several vital bodily functions, such as the following: Circadian rhythm – Dopamine latches onto its receptor to signal the body to wake up by suppressing levels of melatonin early in the morning. Memory – The neurotransmitter appears to control what is retained in the memory based on an imagined response to a certain information. Motor functions- Dopamine also regulates the control of motor functions via the basal ganglia."

Recently, an animal model of gambling behavior was developed (rat gambling task, r GT), expanding the available tools to investigate DG neurobiology. We investigated whether r GT performance and associated risk gene expression in the rat’s brain could provide cross-translational understanding of the neuromolecular mechanisms of addiction in DG. We genotyped tag SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) in 38 addiction-related genes in 400 DG and 345 non-DG subjects. Genes with P <0.1 in the human association analyses were selected to be investigated in the animal arm to determine whether their m RNA expression in rats was associated with the rat’s performance on the r GT. In humans, DG was significantly associated with tag SNPs in DRD3 (rs167771) and CAMK2D (rs3815072). Our results suggest that age and gender might moderate the association between CAMK2D and DG. Moderation effects could not be investigated due to sample power. In the animal arm, only the association between r GT performance and Drd3 expression remained significant after Bonferroni correction for 59 brain regions. As male rats were used, gender effects could not be investigated."

Share Email Print Feedback Medication Summary Several medications are used to treat schizoaffective disorder. Agent selection depends on whether the depressive or the manic subtype is present. Early treatment with medication, along with good premorbid function, often improves outcomes. In the depressive subtype, combinations of antidepressants (eg, sertraline or fluoxetine) plus an antipsychotic (eg, haloperidol, risperidone, olanzapine, aripiprazole, or ziprasidone) are used. In refractory cases, clozapine has been used as an antipsychotic agent. In the manic subtype, combinations of mood stabilizers (eg, lithium, carbamazepine, and valproic acid) plus an antipsychotic are used. Antipsychotics Class Summary Antipsychotic agents ameliorate psychosis and aggressive behavior. Haloperidol (Haldol)View full drug information Haloperidol is used for managing psychosis, as well as motor and vocal tics in children and adults. The mechanism of action is not clearly established, but the drug exerts a selective effect on the central nervous system (CNS) by competitively blocking postsynaptic dopamine D2 receptors in the mesolimbic dopaminergic system; increases in dopamine turnover are responsible for the tranquilizing effect. With subchronic therapy, depolarization blockade and D2 postsynaptic blockade are responsible for antipsychotic action."

In clinical trials it was referred to as the chemical “OPC-34712” and is being marketed as a superior successor to Abilify (Aripiprazole) due to the fact that Abilify’s patent expired in 2014. Rexulti was developed as a result of a partnership between pharmaceutical companies Otsuka and Lundbeck. In 2011, Otsuka and Lundbeck announced that they were joining forces to develop and commercialize up to 5 new products in the psychiatry field. The first of their contributions was the newly approved Rexulti (OPC-34712). Otsuka developed OPC-34712 and Lundbeck paid them $200 million as a preliminary payment. Total payments to Otsuka from Lundbeck for acquisition of OPC-34712 are estimated to reach $1.8 billion. It is believed that the newly introduced Rexulti will be highly profitable for both companies. In addition, it is marketed as providing superior efficacy to other antipsychotics with less side effects; whether these preliminary marketing claims are legitimate remains unknown.

"text": "Do You Have Excessive Food Cravings? Low-Levels of Dopamine may be the Problem By Guest Post on March 5, 2013 in Health Challenges, Health News Send to Kindle What causes cravings? Research often suggested that cravings were a result of some sort of nutritional deficiency. Women’s Health Magazine published an article suggesting that when we have food cravings, it may be our body’s way of letting us know we’re missing valuable nutrients. For example, the article points out that if we crave chocolate, our bodies are lacking in magnesium; if we crave red meat, our bodies are lacking in iron, etc. While nutrient deficiency could be a factor, many researchers point out that it is highly unlikely. A recent article from CBS Minnesota explains,…people in other countries don’t crave the same foods, which indicates a cultural aspect to cravings inconsistent with a simple body nutrient deficiency explanation. Also, it would be much easier to get iron and magnesium from vegetables and fruits, yet most people don’t report craving those things. Marcia Pelchat, Ph D a food researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, also thinks that nutritional deficiency isn’t to blame: But really, how many of us — aside from runners in hot weather — are deficient in salt? And then how do you explain cravings for sweets in terms of deficiency?…..humans rely less on instincts and more on culture to determine what they eat — or on individual experience."

"text": "\"Understanding Addiction : Addiction and the Brain's Pleasure Pathway: Beyond Willpowerby Nora D. Volkow, M. D. Summary Addiction can develop despite a person's best intentions and in spite of their strength of character. Repeated drug use disrupts complex but well balanced systems in the human brain. Many people are addicted to more than one substance, complicating their efforts to recover. The human brain is an extraordinarily complex and fine-tuned communications network containing billions of specialized cells (neurons) that give origin to our thoughts, emotions, perceptions and drives. Often, a drug is taken the first time by choice to feel pleasure or to relieve depression or stress. But this notion of choice is short-lived. Why? Because repeated drug use disrupts well-balanced systems in the human brain in ways that persist, eventually replacing a person's normal needs and desires with a one-track mission to seek and use drugs. At this point, normal desires and motives will have a hard time competing with the desire to take a drug. How Does the Brain Become Addicted?"

"text": "Brain Receptors-A Primerby Kayt Sukel November 4, 2011Synaptic transmission begins when one brain cell releases a neurochemical into the synapse. The transmission, however, is not complete until that neurochemical binds with a receptor on the postsynaptic, or receiving, neuron. Researchers have learned that receptors are equally as important as the neurochemicals they receive in maintaining healthy neurobiology. In fact, studies have demonstrated that receptors play a critical role in mood, learning, and the formation of social bonds. Many receptors are current targets for drug development for treatment of psychiatric disorders. What is a receptor? A receptor is a protein that resides on the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron. The binding of neurotransmitters to receptors is often described using a lock and key metaphor. A “key,” or neurotransmitter, neatly binds with a receptor “lock” resulting in the propagation or dampening of the neural signal (also referred to as the action potential). Receptors, however, are not quite as specific as a single matching lock and key."

Every Center of Excellence agrees that they believe exercise is important to good outcomes in PD, and data supports that. Exercising enhances the sense of wellbeing, even across different disease stages and severities. There is a growing consensus among researchers about the short and long-term benefits of exercise for people with PD. How Can I Benefit from Exercise? Symptom Management Research has shown that exercise can improve gait, balance, tremor, flexibility, grip strength and motor coordination. Exercise such as treadmill training and biking have all been shown to benefit, along with Tai Chi and yoga. So far, studies have shown: Engaging in any level of physical activity is beneficial, rather than being sedentary — this is associated with improved motor symptoms. For people with mild to moderate PD, targeted exercises can address specific symptoms for example: aerobic exercise improves fitness, walking exercises assist in gait, resistance training strengthens muscles."

It's adjective is dopaminergic. Composition Chemically, Dopamine is created by hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA via the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase, and then by the decarboxylation of L-DOPA by dopamine beta-hydroxylase. It is created in several areas of the brain, including the medulla , substantia nigra and Ventral tegmental area. Dopamine is de-activated by reuptake by the presynaptic neuron and is broken down by the enzymes catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) and monoamine oxidase (MAO). There are five dopamine receptors: D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 all of which are metabotropic. D1 and D2 are most common. D1 receptors are postsynaptic, whilst D2 are both pre- and postsypnaptic. Stimulating D1 increases production of the second messenger c AMP whilst stimulating D2, D3 and D4 decreases it. Function Dopamine has many functions, including effects in behavior and cognition, movement, attention, motivation and reward, mood, sleep, and learning."

"text": "Drugs can alter the way people think, feel, and behave by disrupting neurotransmission, the process of communication between neurons (nerve cells) in the brain. Many scientific studies conducted over decades have established that drug dependence and addiction are features of an organic brain disorder caused by drugs’ cumulative impacts on neurotransmission. Scientists continue to build on this essential understanding with experiments to further elucidate the physiological factors that make a person prone to using drugs, as well as the full dimensions and progression of the disorder. The findings provide powerful leads for developing new medications and behavioral treatments. This second article in our NIDA Notes Reference Series discusses the central importance of studying drugs’ effects on neurotransmission and describes some of the most common experimental methods used in this research. As with other articles in the series (see “ Animal Experiments in Addiction Science ”), we provide illustrative references from articles published in NIDA Notes. What Is Neurotransmission? A person reads. The words on the page enter the brain through the eyes and are converted into information that is relayed, from one neuron to the next, to regions that process visual input and attach meaning and memory.

Watch a video of Dr. Christopher Earley discussing: What Is the Evidence for the Iron-Dopamine Hypothesis?/p>Role of Iron in RLSThe single most consistent finding and the strongest environmental risk factor associated with RLS is iron insufficiency. Professor Nordlander first recognized the association between iron deficiency and RLS, and reported that treatment of the iron deficiency markedly improved, if not eliminated, the RLS symptoms. Despite this strong association between serum iron insufficiency and RLS, only about 15% of the RLS clinical population appears to have peripheral iron deficiency (serum ferritin < 50 mcg/l). To account for this, Professor Nordlander in proposing his “iron deficiency” hypothesis of RLS stated “It is possible…that there can exist an iron deficiency in the tissues in spite of normal serum iron. ”This hypothesis has led investigators to examine whether the brain could be deficient in iron in the face of otherwise normal serum iron measures."

By Oksana Kaidanovich-Beilin, Danielle S. Cha, and Roger S. Mc Intyre | December 1, 2012© SCIENCE SOURCE/PHOTO RESEARCHERSH istorically, insulin-shock therapy, also known as insulin coma therapy (ICT), was a form of psychiatric treatment in which patients were injected daily for several weeks or even months with a large dose of insulin in order to induce a coma. After about an hour in the coma, the treatment was ended by the administration of glucose. Originally introduced in 1933 by Austrian-American psychiatrist Manfred Sakel, the method was soon adopted by other psychiatrists in the United States and Europe. ICT was used extensively in the 1940s and ’50s to mitigate psychotic and affective symptoms, primarily in patients with schizophrenia. But the induced hypoglycemia, or pathologically low blood-glucose level, that resulted from ICT made patients extremely restless, sweaty, and, after long courses of treatment, even grossly obese. ICT was also associated with death and brain damage, and there was no scientific explanation for ICT’s often successful mechanism of therapeutic action. As a result, its use was abandoned in the U. S. by 1970. But the experience provides a valuable lesson: an intimate link exists between the brain and the metabolism of sugar—one that has too long been overlooked by the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry. Neuropsychiatric disorders are debilitating conditions associated with inexplicable mood shifts, delusions and dementia, and even premature mortality."

This three-pound mass of gray and white matter sits at the center of all human activity—you need it to drive a car, to enjoy a meal, to breathe, to create an artistic masterpiece, and to enjoy everyday activities. In brief, the brain regulates your body’s basic functions; enables you to interpret and respond to everything you experience; and shapes your thoughts, emotions, and behavior. The brain is made up of many parts that all work together as a team. Different parts of the brain are responsible for coordinating and performing specific functions. Drugs can alter important brain areas that are necessary for life-sustaining functions and can drive the compulsive drug abuse that marks addiction. Brain areas affected by drug abuse include: The brain stem, which controls basic functions critical to life, such as heart rate, breathing, and sleeping. The cerebral cortex, which is divided into areas that control specific functions. Different areas process information from our senses, enabling us to see, feel, hear, and taste. The front part of the cortex, the frontal cortex or forebrain, is the thinking center of the brain; it powers our ability to think, plan, solve problems, and make decisions."

Literally thousands of different chemicals participate in brain function and fall into different groups based on their chemical structure, mechanism of action, psychotropic effects, where they originally came from, or disease process that they are designed to treat. The chemicals affecting emotional states in the brain consist of three broad types of compounds: neurotransmitters, which are chemically derived from single amino acids, the core constituents of proteins; neuropeptides, small links of amino acids that together form a protein with psychoactive effects; and hormones, chemicals made in different regions throughout the body that are released into the blood stream and have psychoactive effects. Hundreds of different neurotransmitters exist in the brain, and they fall in different groups as well based on their chemical structure. The biogenic amines are the most understood group of neurotransmitters and include dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. Each biogenic amine is made within a small region of the brain, but axons from the neurons in those areas of the brain disseminate these neurotransmitters widely throughout the brain. All three of the noted biogenic amines are involved in the regulation of mood. Dopamine, for example, is implicated in the brain’s natural reward system and, therefore, is seen as pleasure generating. Norepinephrine is linked to the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline."

Jan 30, 2002 Updated Mar 14, 2016Routes of Administration The Importance Of Synapses The Neurotransmitters How Drugs Work (In General)Mechanisms Of Specific Drug Activity: (^)Routes of Administration In order for a drug to have an effect on someone, it must first be taken into that person's body and bloodstream so that it can then interact with that persons' brain. Drugs that get into the bloodstream faster tend to have faster, more intense effects. How you take a drug has a lot to do with how quickly it will effect you, and how long its effects will last. The more directly a person is able to get their drug of choice into their bloodstream, the faster and more intense the drug effect tends to be. Thus, all other things being equal, Intravenous (IV) injection of a drug will produce a greater rush than an oral dose of that same drug because the IV administered drug is immediately available to the brain, and does not have to be absorbed or otherwise processed. In addition to the route of administration, the amount of drug that can enter the blood stream at a time is an important factor as well. Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach will result in the alcohol entering the bloodstream faster than if the same drinks were had with a full stomach. The contents of the stomach act as a sort of sponge or buffer, limiting the amount of alcohol that can be absorbed into the blood stream and sent to the brain at any given moment. Direct IV injection into the blood Fast, intense onset of drug effect Inhalation (drug gets into the bloodstream via the lungs or nasal membranes)Eating (drug enters the bloodstream through the normal process of digestion via the stomach and intestine) Longer more gentle onset of drug effect Once the drug is in the blood it has almost immediate access to the brain."

At the center of these complex behaviors are two powerful neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin.

Low levels of dopamine, as seen in people with Parkinson disease, cause a lack of fluid movements. People become stiff and “frozen” in their bodies. Levodopa is a medication used to increase dopamine levels and restore normal movement in people with Parkinson disease. The dose is difficult to adjust, and too much dopamine can cause uncontrolled movements such as tremors and jerking. Unlike dopamine, the role of serotonin in movement is not as clear."

The nervous system & dopamine To understand Parkinson's, it is helpful to understand how the nervous system works and how PD affects normal functions (see Anatomy of the Brain ). Nerve cells, or neurons, are the basic building blocks of the nervous system. The neuron is responsible for sending and receiving nerve impulses or messages.

Similarly, a neuron that is excited will transmit its energy to neurons that are next to it. Neurons have a central cell body attached to slender, branching \"\"arms.\"\""

"text": "Advertising Disclosure Serotonin and Dopamine Relationship for Happiness + Depression Posted By: Nootriment | 4 4.1 33Serotonin and Dopamine are the two neurotransmitters that often come to mind first when thinking about our moods, feelings of pleasure, and sense of well-being. Along with Norepinephrine, they are the neurotransmitters that regulate many different bodily functions including emotional response, sensations of pain and pleasure, satiety, sleep, digestion, libido, respiratory rate, and many others. When we develop imbalances of these important chemical compounds, a variety of adverse health effects and conditions may manifest.

Feelings of contentment, satisfaction and well-being are generated by this neurotransmitter, prompting relaxation and peace. From an evolutionary standpoint, Serotonin was used as a way to evaluate resource availability. When resources (like food) are low, Serotonin levels are low and we feel more active, energetic, and anxious about finding new resources. When resources are widely available, Serotonin is high and we experience a restful state of mind that makes it easier to feel comfortable in our surroundings and fall asleep. Deep restorative sleep allows our body’s repair and maintenance systems to switch on."

"text": "\"Adipsia Synonyms hypodipsia Molecular structure of vasopressin. This hormone is related to Type A and Type B adipsia. Adipsia, also known as hypodipsia, is a symptom of inappropriately decreased or absent feelings of thirst. [ 1] [2] It involves an increased osmolality or concentration of solute in the urine, which stimulates secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the hypothalamus to the kidneys. This causes the person to retain water and ultimately become unable to feel thirst. Due to its rarity, the disorder has not been the subject of many research studies. Adipsia may be seen in conditions such as diabetes insipidus [3] and may result in hypernatremia. [ 4] It can occur as the result of abnormalities in the hypothalamus, pituitary and corpus callosum, [5] as well as following pituitary/hypothalamic surgery. [ 6]It is possible for hypothalamic dysfunction, which may result in adipsia, to be present without physical lesions in the hypothalamus, although there are only four reported cases of this. [ 7] There are also some cases of patients experiencing adipsia due to a psychiatric disease."

Certain chemicals, also called neurotransmitters, act as messengers between neurons in the brain. A study in the October 2000 issue of the “American Journal of Psychiatry” reports that several neurotransmitters have been implicated as causal of the disease, but additional factors contribute to the disorder, including structural differences in areas of the brain. Also, genetic and environmental triggers contribute to the development of bipolar disorder. The neurotransmitters suspected of being involved in mediating the symptoms of bipolar disorder regulate mood, stress, pleasure, reward, sleep, arousal, concentration and attention, among other higher cognitive functions. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Serotonin Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan. Decreased levels of serotonin are commonly found in patients with bipolar disorder and depression. Many antidepressant medications, including monoamine oxidase inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants reduce the symptoms of depression by increasing the concentration of serotonin in the brain. Glutamate The amino acid glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. A study published in the December 2007 issue of “Biological Psychiatry” reports that glutamate levels are higher in certain regions of the brain in patients with bipolar disorder."

Dopamine neurotransmitters are located in the deep middle region of your brain called the substantia nigra. There are five dopamine receptors. The most common disease that exemplifies the loss of the chemical dopamine is Parkinson’s. A person living with Parkinson’s must replace dopamine with a drug know as L-Dopa, or carbidopa/levodopa. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Significance The substantia nigra is a very important area of your brain that controls your motor symptoms. Within the substantia nigra there are cells that naturally produce dopamine. Dopamine is not only responsible for physical movement, it also affects how someone learns and behaves.

On the evolutionary scale, prolactin is an ancient hormone serving multiple roles in mediating the care of progeny (sometimes called the “parenting” hormone). It is a large protein molecule that is synthesized in and secreted from lactotrophs, which constitute about 20 percent of the anterior pituitary gland and are located largely in the lateral regions of the gland. Read More on This Topichormone: Prolactin Prolactin is a protein hormone that in female mammals initiates and maintains the secretion of milk, the mammary glands having been previously prepared for this function by the action of other hormones. In the female rat, prolactin also maintains the secretion of the hormone…READ MOREPhysiological importance of prolactin In women the major action of prolactin is to initiate and sustain lactation. In breast-feeding mothers, tactile stimulation of the nipples and the breast by the suckling infant blocks the secretion of hypothalamic dopamine (which normally inhibits prolactin) into the hypophyseal-portal circulation of the pituitary gland. This results in a sharp rise in serum prolactin concentrations, followed by a prompt fall when feeding stops. High serum prolactin concentrations inhibit secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn RH) from the hypothalamus, thereby decreasing the secretion of gonadotropins ( luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone ), and may also inhibit the action of gonadotropins on the gonads. Thus, high serum prolactin concentrations during lactation reduce fertility, protecting lactating women from a premature pregnancy. Because prolactin acts to maintain the corpus luteum of the ovary, which is the source of the female sex hormone progesterone, it helps to sustain pregnancy."

Strange Pharmacological Reviews March 2001, 53 (1) 119-134;Article Figures & Data Info & Metrics e Letters PDFAbstract Interaction of the antipsychotic drugs with dopamine receptors of the D 2, D 3, or D 4 subclasses is thought to be important for their mechanisms of action. Consideration of carefully defined affinities of the drugs for these three receptors suggests that occupancy of the D 4 subclass is not mandatory for achieving antipsychotic effects, but actions at D 2 or D 3 receptors may be important. A major difference between typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs is in the production of extrapyramidal side effects by the typical drugs. Production of extrapyramidal side effects by typical drugs seems to be due to the use of the drugs at doses where striatal D 2 receptor occupancy exceeds ∼80%. Use of these drugs at doses that do not produce this level of receptor blockade enables them to be used therapeutically without producing these side effects. The antipsychotic drugs have been shown to act as inverse agonists at D 2 and D 3 dopamine receptors, and this property may be important for the antipsychotic effects of the drugs. It is suggested that the property of inverse agonism leads to a receptor up-regulation upon prolonged treatment, and this alters the properties of dopamine synapses. Several variants of the dopamine receptors exist with different DNA sequences and in some cases different amino acid sequences. These variants may have different properties that alter the effects of dopamine and the antipsychotic drugs. The determination of such variants in patients may help in the prediction of drug responsiveness."

Normally Trivalent and Pentavalent elements are used to dope Silicon and Germanium. When an intrinsic semiconductor is doped with Trivalent impurity it becomes a P-Type semiconductor. The P stands for Positive, which means the semiconductor is rich in holes or Positive charged ions. When we dope intrinsic material with Pentavalent impurities we get N-Type semiconductor, where N stands for Negative. N-type semiconductors have Negative charged ions or in other words have excess electrons in it.

Hence, a forward biased p-n junction diode offer only a small resistance to the electric current. When reverse biased voltage is applied to the p-n junction diode, it blocks large amount of electric current and allows only a small amount of electric current. Hence, a reverse biased p-n junction diode offer large resistance to the electric current. If reverse biased voltage applied to the p-n junction diode is highly increased, a sudden rise in current occurs. At this point, a small increase in voltage will rapidly increases the electric current. This sudden rise in electric current causes a junction breakdown called zener or avalanche breakdown. The voltage at which zener breakdown occurs is called zener voltage and the sudden increase in current is called zener current. A normal p-n junction diode does not operate in breakdown region because the excess current permanently damages the diode."

The modern version of a dye solar cell, also known as the Grätzel cell, was originally co-invented in 1988 by Brian O'Regan and Michael Grätzel at UC Berkeley [3] and this work was later developed by the aforementioned scientists at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne until the publication of the first high efficiency DSSC in 1991. [ 4] Michael Grätzel has been awarded the 2010 Millennium Technology Prize for this invention. [ 5]The DSSC has a number of attractive features; it is simple to make using conventional roll-printing techniques, is semi-flexible and semi-transparent which offers a variety of uses not applicable to glass-based systems, and most of the materials used are low-cost. In practice it has proven difficult to eliminate a number of expensive materials, notably platinum and ruthenium, and the liquid electrolyte presents a serious challenge to making a cell suitable for use in all weather. Although its conversion efficiency is less than the best thin-film cells, in theory its price/performance ratio should be good enough to allow them to compete with fossil fuel electrical generation by achieving grid parity.

We sometimes teach to student that they should say susbtitution instead of doping when dealing with high doping/substitution rate BUT the word doping is now so widely used in the scientifici community that it does not really matter.i should add that by extension we also employ \"\"acceptor doping\"\" and \"\"donor doping\"\" in oxides even if the result is sometimes very different from one is observed in semiconductors since the compensating charge is for instance an oxygen vacany (in case of acceptor doping).17 Recommendations All Answers ( 27)5 years ago Adrian Iulian Borhan Institute of Power Engineering Hello Mahes,It's a great question. Indeed there is this confusion between doping and substitution. But there is a big difference between them. For example in the case of ferrites, doping means incorporation of a small amount of cation in a ferrite lattice (such as x=0,01)."

Note that the threshold voltage for this device lies around 0.45 V. The threshold voltage, commonly abbreviated as V th, of a field-effect transistor (FET) is the minimum gate-to-source voltage V GS (th) that is needed to create a conducting path between the source and drain terminals. When referring to a junction field-effect transistor (JFET), the threshold voltage is often called \"\"pinch-off voltage\"\" instead. This is somewhat confusing since pinch off applied to insulated-gate field-effect transistor (IGFET) refers to the channel pinching that leads to current saturation behaviour under high source–drain bias, even though the current is never off. Unlike pinch off, the term threshold voltage is unambiguous and refers to the same concept in any field-effect transistor. Contents [ hide ]1 Basic principles2 Body effect3 Dependence on oxide thickness4 Temperature dependence5 Dependence on random dopant fluctuation6 See also7 References8 External links Basic principles [ edit]In n-channel enhancement-mode devices, a conductive channel does not exist naturally within the transistor, and a positive gate-to-source voltage is necessary to create one such. The positive voltage attracts free-floating electrons within the body towards the gate, forming a conductive channel. But first, enough electrons must be attracted near the gate to counter the dopant ions added to the body of the FET; this forms a region with no mobile carriers called a depletion region, and the voltage at which this occurs is the threshold voltage of the FET. Further gate-to-source voltage increase will attract even more electrons towards the gate which are able to create a conductive channel from source to drain; this process is called inversion. In contrast, n-channel depletion-mode devices have a conductive channel naturally existing within the transistor."

"text": "Feature open Artificial Photosynthesis: Saving Solar Energy for a Rainy Day Lynn Savage In an effort to keep up with the world’s growing energy needs, researchers consider a production method that is billions of years old—photosynthesis. Artificial photosynthesis could provide us with a way to capture the sun’s energy and store it for later use. While our supply of fossil fuels is secure for now, future availability is uncertain. The demand for enough energy to sustain billions of people is rising as the global population surges, and there is only so much coal, natural gas and oil in the ground to be claimed. Whenever the world’s need for energy spikes—when fuel prices peak and shortages crop up—it becomes clear that we must develop alternative energy resources to meet our ever-increasing consumption. Technologies that use solar photovoltaics (PV), which capture sunlight with semiconductor materials and turn it into direct electrical current, are on the rise. Solar panels are spreading across deserts and fields in the United States (as well as many other countries) and are more ubiquitous than ever atop individual homes and businesses. However, one of the downsides to solar PV is that the energy it produces is not easy to transport. Given the outdated electrical grid in the United States, routing solar-derived power from California to Wisconsin is problematic. Delivering it to the power-hungry East Coast is an especially thorny task."

Valtrex is the trade name for the drug valacyclovir, and it is most commonly used to treat infections by the herpes viruses that cause cold sores, genital herpes, and shingles. Valtrex can also be prescribed to shorten the duration and severity of chickenpox outbreaks in adults. While Valtrex does not cure the herpes infection, it usually makes the outbreaks less severe and shorter. People who get frequent outbreaks of cold sores or genital herpes and who recognize the signs of an imminent outbreak can take the drug as soon as the warning signs appear to help make the outbreak as mild as possible. In addition to these common uses for Valtrex, the drug is also used in other, less common situations. For example, it can be used to treat herpes infections of the eye, and can help prevent certain viral infections in people who have had organ transplants. Valtrex was approved by the US Food and Drug administration in 1995, and has a long and proven history of helping people cope with herpes outbreaks. How Long Does It Take to Work?"

"text": "Print Diagnosis Laboratory tests — including tests of blood and other body fluids or tests of tissue samples — can detect CMV virus. Screening and testing for your baby If you're pregnant, testing to determine whether you've ever been infected with CMV can be important. Pregnant women with antibodies have a very small chance of a reactivation infecting their unborn child. If your doctor detects a new CMV infection during pregnancy, a prenatal test (amniocentesis) can determine if the fetus has the infection. In amniocentesis your doctor obtains and examines a sample of amniotic fluid. Amniocentesis is generally recommended when abnormalities that might be caused by CMV are seen on ultrasound. If your doctor suspects your baby has congenital CMV, it's important to test the baby within the first three weeks of birth. After that, tests can't show your baby has congenital CMV because the baby might have contracted the infection by nursing or exposure to other people with the virus. If your baby has CMV, your doctor likely will recommend additional tests to check the health of the baby's organs, such as the liver and kidneys. Screening and testing if you have weakened immunity Testing for CMV can also be important if you have a weakened immune system."

DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Shingles (herpes zoster) is infection that results from reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, the virus that causes chickenpox. What causes the virus to reactive is usually unknown, but sometimes reactivation occurs when a disorder or drug weakens the immune system. Shingles causes a painful rash of fluid-filled blisters and sometimes results in chronic pain in the affected area. Doctors diagnose shingles when typical blisters appear on a strip of skin. The chickenpox vaccine and, for people aged 60 and over, the shingles vaccine can help prevent shingles. Antiviral drugs, if started before blisters appear, can help relieve symptoms and help them resolve sooner, but pain relievers, including opioids, are often needed. Chickenpox and shingles are caused by the varicella-zoster virus (another member of the herpesvirus family, herpesvirus type 3): Chickenpox is the initial infection. Shingles is a reactivation of the virus, usually years later. During chickenpox, the virus spreads in the bloodstream and infects collections of nerve cells (ganglia) of the spinal or cranial nerves."

The eye also harbors a host of non-pathogenic bacteria that competitively prohibit new bacteria growth. However, these eye-defenses can be breached by trauma, improper tearing, or contact lens wear and lead to an infection. An eye infection not only threatens vision, but the orbit can act as an entry portal to the rest of the body and infections can progress to systemic involvement, meningitis, and even death.

Valcyte tablets are an antiviral prescription medication given to patients who have a high chance of developing CMV disease after receiving a heart, kidney, or kidney-pancreas transplant. Valcyte helps prevent CMV disease in these patients. Pediatric patients: Valcyte tablets or oral solution is prescribed for the prevention of CMV disease in patients that are 4 months to 16 years of age who have received a kidney transplant or in patients that are 1 month to 16 years of age who have received a heart transplant and have a high chance of developing CMV disease. Important Safety Information and Most Serious Side Effects Valcyte can affect blood cells and bone marrow causing serious and life-threatening problems. Patients’ doctors may do regular blood tests to check blood cells and may change the dose or tell patients to stop taking Valcyte. Patients must tell their doctor right away if they have any unexpected bruising or bleeding, unusual tiredness, fever, lack of energy, dizziness, or fainting."

"text": "A latent infection is a situation in which a virus is present in the body, but it remains dormant, not causing any overt symptoms. The patient is still infected with the virus, and he or she can pass the virus on to others when they are exposed to the dormant virus. Latent infections can also be activated, causing symptoms and illness to emerge again. A classic example of a latent infection is herpes simplex, which periodically flares up to cause cold sores before going dormant again. People sometimes confuse latent infections with latency. Latency or clinical latency is one of the things which occurs during the incubation period of an infection, in which the causative agent is present in the body and multiplying, but not causing symptoms. The virus involved in clinical latency is not dormant, as is the case with these infections, but fully active and causing problems for the host organism. Eventually, the virus will move out of latency and start causing detectable symptoms, alerting the host to the fact that an infection is occurring. Ad Some infections can never be fully flushed from the body, becoming latent with the use of medications and other measures to control the virus and inhibit replication. In these cases, the infection may periodically flare up in response to environmental cues."

TB usually affects the lungs, but it can spread to the kidneys, bones, spine, brain, and other parts of the body. What does it mean to have a positive PPD skin test? The most commonly used skin test to check for TB is the PPD — purified protein derivative. If you have a positive PPD, it means you have been exposed to a person who has tuberculosis and you are now infected with the bacteria (mycobacterium tuberculosis) that causes the disease. Do I have TB if I have a positive PPD test? Not necessarily. A person can be infected with the bacteria that causes TB and NOT have the disease. Many people are infected with the bacteria, but only a few of these people (about 10%) go on to develop the disease."

What Causes Viral Infections Viral infections are caused by viruses. A virus is a minuscule capsule that contains the virus’s genetic material. This small entity has only one purpose and that is to replicate or to grow in number. It does this by inserting itself into an individual’s genetic material and free loading. That is, when the individual’s genetic material replicates so does the virus’s. Its insertion causes many problems. It may affect the original product of the gene: protein, enzyme or hormone. As it grows in numbers it may destroy the patient’s cells causing the host to become sick."

"text": "\"Pap Tests: Starting Point for a Cervical Cancer Diagnosis Irregularities found in a Pap smear could lead to more testing The purpose of a Pap smear, the most reliable test to date for cervical cancer, is to sample the squamous cells of the cervix, looking for any abnormalities. It is also important to know that a Pap smear is not a test for ovarian or endometrial cancers (cancer of the uterus). A Pap smear (also called a Pap test) is usually given as part of a pelvic exam. It is a screening test in which cells collected from the cervix are examined for abnormal cell changes that may indicate the presence of cervical cancer or a precancerous condition. If abnormalities are found, your doctor may order diagnostic exams to identify the cause. The importance of having Pap tests on a routine basis cannot be overstated. Most invasive cervical cancers can be prevented if you have Pap tests regularly. That is because they can detect squamous cell abnormalities that may lead to cervical cancer at their earliest stages. Early detection enables doctors to start you on a treatment before cancer develops, which increases the likelihood that your treatment will be successful. Like all screening tests, the Pap test is not 100 percent accurate."

Posted by: Don Amerman in Valtrex April 26, 2014 Comments Off on How Long Does Valtrex Take to Work?167,050 Views Herpes viruses are responsible for both cold sores and genital herpes. Valtrex is the trade name for the drug valacyclovir, and it is most commonly used to treat infections by the herpes viruses that cause cold sores, genital herpes, and shingles. Valtrex can also be prescribed to shorten the duration and severity of chickenpox outbreaks in adults. While Valtrex does not cure the herpes infection, it usually makes the outbreaks less severe and shorter. People who get frequent outbreaks of cold sores or genital herpes and who recognize the signs of an imminent outbreak can take the drug as soon as the warning signs appear to help make the outbreak as mild as possible. In addition to these common uses for Valtrex, the drug is also used in other, less common situations. For example, it can be used to treat herpes infections of the eye, and can help prevent certain viral infections in people who have had organ transplants. Valtrex was approved by the US Food and Drug administration in 1995, and has a long and proven history of helping people cope with herpes outbreaks. How Long Does It Take to Work?"

"text": "\"What Is Pramipexole (Mirapex)?8 Reviews Pramipexole is the generic name for the prescription drug Mirapex, which is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease and restless leg syndrome ( RLS ). Mirapex belongs to a class of drugs called dopamine agonists. Scientists believe that it encourages dopamine activity in the body by increasing the sensitivity of dopamine receptors. In the brain, dopamine acts as a neurotransmitter — helping nerves communicate — which improves movement in restless leg syndrome and helps relax tremors in Parkinson's disease. Originally manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim under the brand name Mirapex, pramipexole was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1997. Pramipexole Warnings Don't take pramipexole if you're allergic to the drug or any of its ingredients. Ask your doctor about pramipexole if you: Are 65 or older Have kidney problems Have any kind of severe heart disease Drink alcohol regularly Are taking drugs for depression, anxiety, or relaxation Have any kind of sleep disorder Pregnancy and Pramipexole The effects of pramipexole on a pregnant woman's unborn child have not been studied. Talk to your doctor about the drug if you're pregnant or planning a pregnancy. It's unclear what effect pramipexole has on breastfeeding babies, so talk to your doctor before taking the drug if you're breastfeeding. It's always a good idea to talk to your doctor about all of your medications if you're pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding."

"text": "Risperidone (ris per' i done)Be first to comment RATECurrently 3/5 Stars. 1 2 3 4 5Print PREVIOUS NEXTBrand Name (s): Risperdal ®Risperdal ® M-TAB ®IMPORTANT WARNING: [Posted 06/13/2011]ISSUE: FDA notified healthcare professionals and the public of medication error reports in which patients were given risperidone (Risperdal) instead of ropinirole (Requip) and vice versa. In some cases, patients who took the wrong medication needed to be hospitalized. The FDA determined that the factors contributing to the confusion between the two products include: Similarities of both the brand (proprietary) and generic (established) names Similarities of the container labels and carton packaging Illegible handwriting on prescriptions Overlapping product characteristics, such as the drug strengths, dosage forms, and dosing intervals. BACKGROUND: Risperidone (Risperdal) is an antipsychotic medication used to treat mental illnesses including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and irritability associated with autistic disorder. Ropinirole (Requip) is a dopamine agonist used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and Restless Legs Syndrome. RECOMMENDATION: Healthcare Professionals are reminded to clearly print or spell out the medication name on prescriptions and make certain their patients know the name of their prescribed medication and their reason for taking it. For more information visit the FDA website at: Web Site and Web Site. IMPORTANT WARNINGStudies have shown that older adults with dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and that may cause changes in mood and personality) who take antipsychotics (medications for mental illness) such as risperidone have an increased risk of death during treatment. Older adults with dementia may also have a greater chance of having a stroke or mini-stroke during treatment."

"text": "\"5 Unexpected Side Effects of Common Medications Some popular drugs may spark odd, unexpected reactions, like color blindness, deja vu and even compulsive gambling By Linda Melone August 1, 2013Even the most-studied, widely prescribed drugs can have unwanted side effects, like stomach upset, drowsiness and fatigue. It’s the price we pay to address more serious medical issues. Some medications, though, can cause unexpected and unusual side effects very different than those listed at the top of the box or pamphlet, says pharmacist Suzy Cohen, author of Drug Muggers: What Medications Are Robbing Your Body of Essential Nutrients and How to Restore Them. Below, we list some of these unexpected side effects and suggest alternatives for those who might experience them. They are generally rare and non-life-threatening, but speak to your doctor or pharmacist and read consumer advisories for all your prescriptions to learn more. “If you need a medication for a life-threatening infection or a progressive, disabling disease,” Cohen says, “consider that and don’t just deny yourself medication because of a rare side effect. The odds are you are not going to suffer a bizarre side effect, especially if you start at lower dosages and test the waters before diving in head first. ”Drug: Ambien Unexpected side effect: sleep driving or eating Like sleepwalking, sleep driving involves driving somewhere with no memory of the activity. Within a few days of starting to take this widely used sleep aid to treat insomnia, some people will sleep drive, carry on complex conversations, perform routine daily tasks, have sex or eat while asleep, with no memory of the experiences. The behaviors often occur in the morning, because Ambien remains in your bloodstream even after you wake, says Zara Risoldi Cochrane, an assistant professor of pharmacy practice at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. “For some people, these blood levels are high enough to cause carryover effects,” she says, including, in some cases, sleep driving."

"text": "\"Member Sign Up The Book - Print & e Book Yorkie Shaking, Trembling, Shivering Overview This section is going to discuss the issue of a Yorkshire Terrier puppy or dog shaking. Some refer to this as trembling or shivering. It is usually a full body shuddering vibration. It may last for just a few seconds or it may last for quite a while, usually until an owner makes some sort of change that calms the shaking down. Some Yorkies will shake for seemingly no reason, leaving owners confused and worried. Others will begin to shake under certain circumstances, such as being held in the air, leaving owners to wonder if their puppy or dog is truly scared of the movement, or the height…We'll look into all of the reasons and situations that can cause a Yorkie puppy or dog to shake; in many cases, with some simply easy steps, the shaking can stop. Reason #1 - Trouble Regulating Body Temperature While it may seem obvious to some, it doesn't really cross the minds of others; however a Yorkie - and particularly a puppy or an older senior dog - can easily become chilled. Why? A lot of dog breeds have double coats - this means that they have a thick, dense undercoat and a longer, course overcoat. These double coats work together to provide insulation."

"text": "Downsizing to a Mobile Home – Prices & Cost Ballpark Estimate: $500 to $85,000 for a manufactured home; $100 to $1,000 per month to rent a space These days, a lot of people are thinking about downsizing from a large, traditional home, to a mobile home, usually located in an enclosed community of similar homes. These places used to be called “trailer parks” and sometimes had shady reputations, but times have changed. Not only have the homes themselves changed, but the reasons for living in a mobile home park have changed. Mortgage payments on your traditional home may have become overwhelming. Retirement funds may have shrunk with the recent stock market woes. Lots of people are tired of paying the high energy costs to heat or cool a large house, and if grown children have moved away, there may be no need for all that room anyway. Today’s Green Revolution may be motivating people to reduce their carbon footprints and help the planet by moving to a smaller house. College students, newlyweds, people just starting out in life—these are just some of the kinds of people who find mobile home living desirable. They’re Not Really “Mobile Homes”If you’re looking for a home manufactured any time after June 15, 1976, you’re not looking for a mobile home at all. That term was abandoned on that date, when the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) created a set of standards known as the HUD Code."

No, not the double-parking that you are thinking of (although that is very annoying as well). The double-parking that I am talking about is when you have a baby tooth and its adult twin occupying the same space. Not only does this make you look like a character out of a sci-fi movie but it also can have long-term consequences. So why do we want you to get baby teeth out as quickly as you can after they get loose? Read on and you can find out!Double Parking First let’s talk briefly about what ages you can expect the baby teeth to exfoliate (our fancy scientific term for the loss of a baby tooth). The first wave of baby teeth is generally lost around 7-8 years of age. These are the 8 upper and lower incisors. After this first wave there is a quiet period where no teeth will be lost. The second wave begins normally around 10 years old and can last 1-2 years."

Chaco Canyon is a massive complex of great stone buildings and ceremonial platforms covering an expanse of approx. 80,000 square km. This vast site has hundreds of buildings in and around the canyon, with researchers finding no obvious utilitarian purposes to their construction or placement. Instead, the Anasazi people who constructed these remarkable buildings not only had a very deep understanding of celestial events, but went to great lengths to align their buildings and roads with them. Artifacts and rock art found within the various buildings and around the canyon suggest they also held a deep knowledge of spiritual principles and ceremonies and practiced the Religion of the Sun. Chaco Canyon An example of the incredible masonry of Chaco Canyon 2The research group, “The Solstice Project” has done extensive research into the central buildings of the Chaco ruins, and is responsible for the discovery and study of many of its significant solar and lunar alignments. Much of the information regarding the alignments in this article has been sourced from their work. The massive buildings of Chaco Canyon were constructed using a ‘ core and veneer ‘ style of masonry, much of which is still standing after over a thousand years. An incredible amount of stone and timber was used, with some of the buildings reaching 4 stories high."

January 14, 2015, 11:41 AM · While construction continues on Disney's new Avatar land at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida, production of the new Avatar films have fallen behind schedule. Director James Cameron said Wednesday in New Zealand that he's pushing the next Avatar film back to 2017, as he's not yet completed the scripts for the next three Avatar films, which will be produced simultaneously. The first of the three planned Avatar sequels had been slated to premiere at Christmas 2016. Now it's looking like Christmas 2017 instead. The first phase of Disney's \"\"World of Pandora\"\" Avatar land is also slated to open in 2017, so it now appears possible — indeed, likely — that the Avatar attractions will open before the sequels, unless Disney decides to hold back on the opening until 2018 to take advantage of the promotion around the new films. On the flip side, having the sequels delayed by a year might allow Disney to open the new land under less pressure, as there likely won't be as much public attention on the franchise before the films come out. In case you're wondering what will be in Disney's Avatar land, we leaked the blueprints for the centerpiece 3D \"\"Soarin'\"\"-like ride in late 2013.

Perplexing as it may sound, Buzzle explains how this beautiful event occurs. After a light shower graces the parched Earth, a spectacular light show appears in the sky. This colorful spectrum of light appears when the sun shines on the tiny droplets of moisture present in the atmosphere. Rainbow is a meteorological process that encompasses three sub-processes namely: reflection, refraction, and dispersion. This beautiful formation may be formed due to dew, rain, mist, and spray. A simple rainbow contains one arc having seven colors in a sequence, whereas in the case of a double rainbow one arc is observed outside the main arc. Rainbows are also known to form quite long arcs which are difficult to be captured in a single camera shot. What does a Double Rainbow Mean?"

"text": "\"Can police pull you over for passing on a double-yellow line? May 04, 2014 | Dan Hartzell | The Road Warrior Q: I'll bet you didn't remember that the 10th anniversary of our win in the battle of the double-yellow line is almost here. I've been strongly tempted to begin the battle of late merge versus early merge, but for today, this will have to do: What is the meaning of the sign 'right turn signal'? Does it mean 'no turn on red'? How can it? The latest issue of the state Driver's Manual still says you can turn on red anywhere except where a sign specifically says 'no turn on red'. Does it mean there's going to be a green arrow there? If so, I'll see the arrow even without my glasses. I don't need the sign.— Steve Kovach, Quakertown A: \"\"Right turn signal,\"\" the most confusing sign in the Penn DOT showroom, is intended to alert motorists that a green-arrow phase applies to the lane beneath which the placard is posted."
