Routing numbers are also known as banking routing numbers, routing transit numbers, RTNs, ABA numbers, and sometimes SWIFT codes (although these are quite different from routing numbers as SWIFT codes are solely used for international wire transfers while routing numbers are used for domestic transfers). Routing numbers differ for checking and savings accounts, prepaid cards, IRAs, lines of credit, and wire transfers. All banks usually have separate routing numbers for each of the states in the US. You can look for the routing number on the check (cheque book) issued by your credit union or can search this website for free."

Routing numbers are also known as banking routing numbers, routing transit numbers, RTNs, ABA numbers, and sometimes SWIFT codes (although these are quite different from routing numbers as SWIFT codes are solely used for international wire transfers while routing numbers are used for domestic transfers). Routing numbers differ for checking and savings accounts, prepaid cards, IRAs, lines of credit, and wire transfers. All banks usually have separate routing numbers for each of the states in the US. You can look for the routing number on the check (cheque book) issued by your credit union or can search this website for free."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search School Feeding Program in Malawi School feeding programs have been defined by the World Bank as \"\"targeted social safety nets that provide both educational and health benefits to the most vulnerable children, thereby increasing enrollment rates, reducing absenteeism, and improving food security at the household level\"\". [ 1] Beyond improvements in access to food, school feeding programs also have a positive impact on nutritional status, gender equity, and educational status, each of which contributes to improving overall levels of country and human development. While school meals are provided by the governments of most high and middle-income countries around the globe, the children who may benefit most from school feeding programs are in low-income countries that do not have government-provided school meals. School feeding in low-income countries often starts through funding by international organizations such as the United Nations World Food Programme or the World Bank or national governments through programs such as the Mc Govern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. However, some governments have first started school-feeding programs and then requested the help of these organizations and programs. Additionally, many countries have \"\"graduated\"\" from their dependency on foreign assistance by reshaping their school feeding programs to be country-led and self-supported. [ 2]While there are school feeding programs in a number of countries, each program varies widely from country to country in design, implementation, and evaluation. Thus, literature reviews and studies often focus on a small number of countries, as school feeding is not a uniform unit of intervention and cannot be compared or assessed on an international scale. Contents [ hide ]1 Need for school feeding programs2 Types of school feeding programs3 Approaches to school feeding3.1 Country involvement in school feeding programs3.2 Involvement of the World Food Programme4 Benefits of school feeding4.1 Nutrition and food security4.2 Education4.3 Gender equity5 Drawbacks and challenges to school feeding6 Results of school feeding programs in low-income countries7 See also8 References Need for school feeding programs [ edit]According to the United Nations World Food Programme, 66 million primary school age children go hungry every day, with 23 million hungry children in Africa alone. [ 3] Furthermore, 80% of these 66 million children are concentrated within just 20 countries."

Gastroesophageal reflux is a common, self-limited process in infants that usually resolves by six to 12 months of age. Effective, conservative management involves thickened feedings, positional treatment, and parental reassurance. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a less common, more serious pathologic process that usually warrants medical management and diagnostic evaluation. Differential diagnosis includes upper gastrointestinal tract disorders; cow's milk allergy; and metabolic, infectious, renal, and central nervous system diseases. Pharmacologic management of GERD includes a prokinetic agent such as metoclopramide or cisapride and a histamine-receptor type 2 antagonist such as cimetidine or ranitidine when esophagitis is suspected. Although recent studies have supported the cautious use of cisapride in childhood GERD, the drug is currently not routinely available in the United States."

The head makes up one-quarter of your baby's total body size. It is an average of 13 - 14 inches around at birth. Your newborn baby will probably spend a lot of time sleeping or eating. All babies are alike in some ways, such as needing sleep, feedings, and love. In most other ways, your baby is not like any other baby. Advertisement But if you've noticed that your baby is developing a persistent flat spot, either in the back or on one side of the head, it could be a sign of Positional Plagiocephaly. Also known as flattened head syndrome, this condition can occur when your baby sleeps in the same position repeatedly. It can also occur because of problems with your baby's neck muscles. Some babies may have the additional problem of torticollis, a neck muscle problem, which prohibits them from properly turning their head to another position."

Photograph: i Stock They’re perhaps the most controversial feature of the Irish education landscape. Back in 2002, The Irish Times was the first newspaper to publish information about how many students, from which school, go on to third-level. This was a time before whole-school evaluations, when parents could only access whatever information schools saw fit to give them and whatever they heard on the local grapevine. Not surprisingly, the lists were enormously popular with parents and not one parent who contacted the paper was critical of the decision to publish. Writing at the time, the paper’s then education editor, the late Seán Flynn, said the “education establishment” including teacher unions and school principals, were furious. Teachers said the tables only measured progression to third-level and did not account for further education – although reliable data on progression from school to further education is not recorded by the State – and also did not take account of the unique social and economic features of individual schools. However, Flynn said parents do indeed take full account of a school’s entry policy and social mix, as well as sporting and cultural activities, and he credited them with the intelligence to know the different challenges facing a fee-paying school in Dublin 4 and a north inner-city school in Cork. More than 15 years later, the tables are now published by other national newspapers."

The number of American women who have only one child has doubled over the last two decades, even though only children often bear the brunt of nasty stereotypes. The assessment is not necessarily true, said psychologist Susan Newman, author of the book \"\"Parenting an Only Child. \"\" Many studies show that only children are no more self-centered or spoiled than others, Newman said. Some studies suggest only kids tend to have closer, more affectionate relationships with their parents than kids from bigger families. Only children often develop better verbal skills and excel in school because they are read to more often than children with siblings, she said. Only children also tend to have higher IQs, which researchers say may be because their parents have higher expectations for them and more time and money to give. Children Are Expensive According to the U. S. Department of Labor, for families that make roughly $60,000 a year, each child costs more than $250,000 by the time he or she reaches 18, and that doesn't include college costs. Newman said children cost their parents $50,000 in food alone by the time they hit 18. \"\""

New York is expecting 32 percent of all its public school students to attend its summer classes that started this week and in Chicago, 46 percent will be enrolled in school. The summer school trend comes at a time when many school districts throughout the nation have moved to end what is known as social promotion. This is the practice of promoting students to the next grade so they move through the school system at the same rate as their peers. “The increase in summer school programs and the end of social promotion are highly related,” said Prof. Michael Kirst of the Stanford Institute for Higher Education Research. “ All kids are putting in more school hours. That is a significant trend. ”Kirst said summer school presents a clear advantage for students who need special attention because classes are smaller and in many locales students work on a single, clear goal: passing standardized tests."

"text": "\"FEATURE STORYScaling up School Feeding: Keeping Children in School While Improving Their Learning and Health April 25, 2012Tweet Share Share Synopsis School feeding programs are targeted social safety nets that provide both educational and health benefits to the most vulnerable children, thereby increasing enrollment rates, reducing absenteeism, and improving food security at the household level. In response to increasing food and fuel prices in 2008, funds from the World Bank’s Global Food Crisis Response Program and the subsequent pilot Crisis Response Window provided rapid assistance by supporting existing school feeding programs and essentially linking access to both food and education for poor and vulnerable children living in highly food-insecure areas. With a global turnover in excess of US$100 billion and reaching hundreds of millions of schoolchildren, school feeding is clearly evident as a major social program in most countries, including low-, middle-, and high-income countries. Challenge Every day more than 66 million children go to school hungry and, in many countries, fewer girls attend school than boys. Research shows that providing in-school meals, mid-morning snacks, and take-home rations through school feeding programs can alleviate short-term hunger, increase children’s abilities to concentrate, learn, perform specific tasks, and has been linked to an increase in the enrolment of girls. These effects seem to be greater among children who are also chronically undernourished, usually the poorest children. Low-income countries are expanding school feeding, because these programs help push them closer to reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by drawing more children, especially young girls, into the classroom. If these programs provide micronutrients such as iron, iodine, vitamin A, B-vitamins, and zinc through fortified foods and are combined with other school health interventions such as deworming, there may be additional benefits for children’s cognitive abilities and educational achievement. Additionally, school feeding programs are increasingly being viewed as a potential safety net and as a social support measure that helps keep children in school. In response to the shocks of the global food, fuel, and financial crises, countries looked to implement school feeding as a rapidly scalable social protection mechanism, able to provide more than 10 percent of household expenditures."

One of those “things” is children, and she has asked me to bounce a question off Motherlode readers — a question that is professional, yes, but also personal. She and her husband have two sons, Jasper, 3, and Sam, 15 months. She is thinking of having a third, and has been pondering whether the concept of “economies of scale” applies to families. Is the third child somehow more “economical” than the first or second? “ With any big project, there are start-up costs,” she says. “ But does the marginal cost of kids fall?”There are numbers that suggest so. Parsing Department of Agriculture data (click here and see Page 7) she finds that “if you have two kids, ages 13 and 16, your costs as a middle-income family will be $23,000 per year” to feed, house and clothe them. “ However, if you have three kids, ages 11, 13, and 16, your costs will be $25,880 — in other words, the third kid is costing just $2,880 extra."

A new study suggests that if you wait until he's already hungry, it may be too late. The best time to provide someone with valuable life skills may be before kindergarten. A group of researchers recently published the results of a 25-year study looking at the effects of preschool and up to six years of follow-up service for a group of more than 1000 children in inner-city Chicago. Compared with children who did not receive preschool education and follow-up services, the children who did go on to attain more education and higher incomes, were more likely to have health care and less likely to have criminal records. Males and the children of high school dropouts showed the greatest benefits from preschool education. What benefit might preschool offer? One of the most important findings about brain development shows that the brain has critical periods for learning. If you deprive a brain of information during this crucial time, it may never develop properly; the opportunity is lost."

Addiction Research Foundation, (1991)Withdrawal Symtoms of a Infant Born to a Mother in Methadone Treatment Not all infants born to mothers on methadone will go through withdrawal after birth. This usually begins a few days after birth (48 to 72 hours after), but symptoms could arise two to four weeks after birth and may last several weeks or months. The onset of withdrawal and severity of symptoms vary: during the birth serum and tissue levels begin to fall; the newborn continues to metabolize the drug (s) and abstinence symptoms occur when critically low tissue levels are reached. Less sever withdrawal symptoms can persist until six months of age. Methadone exposed infants generally are reported to have a higher frequency and more lengthy period of abstinence than those whose mothers used heroin. Withdrawal may be mild and short-lived delayed in onset or characterized by a step by step increase in severity. Symptoms may be present irregularly, or have a two stage course that includes severe withdrawal followed by improvement and then become worse again. More severe symptoms seem to occur in infants whose mothers have taken large amounts of drugs for a long time. The development of the infant’s metabolic and excretory systems also plays an important role, since preterm infants generally eliminate the prenatal drug (s) more slowly and seem to show a less active onset of withdrawal.

"text": "\"Charitable Donations of Real Estate A charitable bequest involves giving part or all of a deceased person's assets to one or more designated charities, by using specific instructions in a will. Technically, bequests relate to personal property and devises relate to real property, but \"\"bequest\"\" is often used as an umbrella term for both. Many people donate money and other valuables to charity over the course of their lives. Others consider charitable contributions, but never find the right time to give. Regardless of a person's lifetime philanthropic history, the decision to include donations of land, buildings, and/or easements as part of an overall estate plan offers a viable way to leave a legacy. Statistically, real property donations tend not to be a primary source of funding for charitable organizations.

"text": "\"Chapter 2: The Economic Environment Chapter Objectives Structure Of The Chapter Overview The global economy Chapter Summary Key Terms Review Questions Review Question Answers References Much was said in the first chapter about the necessity to take into account the global \"\"environmental\"\" factors. These factors are those so called \"\"uncontrollables\"\", unlike the \"\"controllable\"\" factors of price, promotion, place and product. They include market tastes, economic, socio cultural, legal, technological, competitive and political factors to name but a few. Failure to account for these factors can lead to dire consequences. As can be seen later, the failure by Tanzania to take account of the market changes and demand shift to polypopylenes from sisal, led to a demise in that country's sisal industry. Chapter Objectives The objectives of this chapter are:· To describe and demonstrate the importance of the \"\"economic\"\" environment factor in planning and carrying out global marketing· To show the importance of the \"\"economic\"\" factor in global marketing· To describe and give an understanding of the major world regional economic blocs with particular emphasis on developing countries Structure Of The Chapter The chapter starts off with a review of the global economy, the composition of world trade and the World Trade Institutions. Regionalism is a major phenomenon of the late 80s and early 90s and so the chapter describes in detail a number of major regional economic blocs. Very important in any discussion on economic factors is the size of market, and more specifically, the market ability to purchase, which depends on levels of income. The chapter finishes by looking at the nature of economic activity including the stages of market development, urbanisation and infrastructure as important precursors to the degree of economic activity. Note that a comprehensive case study covering the \"\"environmental\"\" aspects of global marketing occurs at the end of chapter four."

"text": "131sharessharetweetemail By: Chris Strauss | November 27, 2013 10:41 am Follow @chris_strauss (Howard Smith-USA TODAY Sports)The bye weeks are over and each team has five games left to determine their playoff, or in just as many cases, draft destiny. While any game featuring a legitimate postseason contender is going to be worth watching over the next few weeks, there are six games on the slate right now that we absolutely would not want to miss. Thirteen of the 16 games on Week 13’s schedule feature teams with solid postseason chances, including eight with head to head matchups between possible playoff teams. But the two best games of the week could strongly factor into determining homefield advantage in both conferences throughout January. ( Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports)Denver Broncos (9-2) at Kansas City Chiefs (9-2), 4:25 p.m. ET Both are coming off disappointing losses, but neither of the AFC West teams currently tied for the best record in the conference can afford to feel sorry for themselves. What’s potentially at stake? Just a division title, first-round bye and a possible homefield advantage in the playoffs. The Broncos face teams with a combined 14-27 record in their last four games while the Chiefs still have to face a tough Indianapolis team in Week 16. That potential roadblock makes Sunday’s game even slightly more crucial for Kansas City, who lost to Denver in primetime in Week 11. If they can get a one-game lead on the Broncos as well as a tie in head-to-head matchups, it’ll give them a slight cushion should they fall to the Colts or even the Chargers once again."

You can see that by the end of the century the growth will be virtually 0. Here’s the projected population for the rest of this century. Population will most likely top out around 11 billion, up from the current 7.6 billion. The greatest amount of growth is in Africa, followed by Asia. If African countries modernize sooner, and therefore educate girls and women, it could be as low as 9 billion. In any case, prosperity leads to education for all, and this means education for women as well as inexpensive access to birth control. Countries get prosperous by protecting free markets and free trade. The United States should encourage these countries to protect free markets and we should allow free trade between the United States and African and Asian countries.189 Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below What is the way to control population?"

"text": "Family Planning Module: 5. Oral Contraceptive Methods Study Session 5 Oral Contraceptive Methods Introduction Oral contraceptives are pills that a woman takes by mouth to prevent the occurrence of pregnancy. The pills contain hormones which are similar to the natural female reproductive hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. Oral contraceptives are commonly known as ‘the pill’, ‘combined pill’, ‘birth control’ or ‘mini-pill’. The pill works mainly by changing the body’s hormone balance so that the woman does not ovulate. It is more effective if taken correctly and consistently. Most women can take the pill without developing any side-effects. However, a small number of women develop mild side-effects, which usually go away within days or weeks of starting the pill. In this study session, you will learn about the concept, types and mechanism of action of oral contraceptive pills, their effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages, common side-effects, and the management of the side-effects of this method.

The first battle between ironclads: CSS Virginia (left) vs. USS Monitor, in 1862 at the Battle of Hampton Roads An ironclad was a steam-propelled warship in the early part of the second half of the 19th century, protected by iron or steel armour plates. [ 1] The ironclad was developed as a result of the vulnerability of wooden warships to explosive or incendiary shells. The first ironclad battleship, Gloire, was launched by the French Navy in November 1859. [ 2] The British Admiralty had been considering armored warships since 1856 and prepared a draft design for an armored corvette in 1857; in early 1859 the Royal Navy started building two iron-hulled armored frigates, and by 1861 had made the decision to move to an all-armored battle fleet. After the first clashes of ironclads (both with wooden ships and with one another) took place in 1862 during the American Civil War, it became clear that the ironclad had replaced the unarmored ship of the line as the most powerful warship afloat. This type of ship would come to be very successful in the American Civil War. [ 3]Ironclads were designed for several roles, including as high seas battleships, coastal defense ships, and long-range cruisers. The rapid evolution of warship design in the late 19th century transformed the ironclad from a wooden-hulled vessel that carried sails to supplement its steam engines into the steel-built, turreted battleships and cruisers familiar in the 20th century."

"text": "\"Surrogacy in India Surrogacy Surrogacy is an arrangement between a woman and a couple or individual to carry and deliver a baby. The surrogate mother is also known as a gestational carrier. Women or couples who choose surrogacy often do so because they are unable to conceive due to a missing or abnormal uterus, have experienced multiple pregnancy losses, or have had multiple in vitro fertilization attempts that have failed. The advantage of gestational surrogacy to the parents is that the embryo is created from the woman’s egg and the man’s sperm, so it is biologically theirs. Surrogacy is often one of the only ways for a couple to have a biological child, and it can also allow the surrogate to greatly help someone in need (Altruistic surrogacy). If the pregnant woman received compensation for carrying and delivering the child (besides medical and other reasonable expenses) the arrangement is called a commercial surrogacy. Types of Surrogacy Gestational Surrogacy: Full surrogacy involves the implantation of an embryo created using both the eggs and sperm of the intended parents or a donated egg fertilized with sperm from the intended father or an embryo created using donor eggs and sperm. In gestational surrogacy, the embryo is implanted in the surrogate through in vitro fertilization. The surrogate carries the baby to term, then gives up the child and signs over parental rights at birth. Traditional/ Partial Surrogacy: This involves sperm from the intended father and an egg from the surrogate mother."

"text": "Washington, DC (Live Action) — Earlier this week, Live Action News writer Sarah Terzo wrote an article detailing the abhorrent treatment that many new parents receive from the medical industry after they are told of a positive diagnosis of Down syndrome. The stories are heartbreaking — unless, of course, you’re a pro-abortion extremist who would rather see all babies with Down syndrome killed off as soon as possible, please. The pro-abortion Chelsea Hoffman responded to Terzo’s piece by denying that such abysmal treatment happens all that regularly, and argues against giving women accurate information about Down syndrome. The folks at Live Action News are at it again: Shaming women who make the very tough and very personal choices to seek abortions. And like always, they’re targeting women who learn that their unborn children are afflicted with birth defects like Down syndrome and any other variety of chromosomal anomalies. This time they’re blaming doctors for the abortions that are sought upon learning about these diagnoses. There’s no doubt that some doctors lack that bedside manner that some people need, but it seems as though the latest coming from LAN is nothing more but a broadly stroked brush swiped over the entire medical industry — all based off a handful of stories that, frankly, we don’t even know are 100% true and not the exaggerations of outraged mommies and daddies. These people believe that women should be forced to sit through educational lectures about how “wonderful” and “fulfilling” it is to have a child with Down syndrome — yet they ignore the fact that they sound no different than the extreme Christian right who want women to be forced to go through vaginal ultrasounds before going through with an abortion altogether. Whatever happened to “live and let live?” Whatever happened to simply allowing women to make the decisions they feel are right for their bodies and their reproductive systems?"

Trump, a son of German immigrants, was a real estate magnate who became a millionaire by offering residential real estate in the Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island boroughs of New York City. His mother was a native of Scotland. Trump grew up with a brother and two sisters, including Maryanne Trump Barry, a federal judge in the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. After proving to be a disciplinary problem at The Kew Forest School, Trump was sent to the New York Military Academy during his high school years. He excelled at the Academy, graduated and attended Fordham University in New York for two years before transferring to the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated in 1968 with a B. S. in economics and real estate from The Wharton School of Finance. Biographer Gwenda Blair noted in her book, \"\"The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire,\"\" that Trump had fewer friends at Wharton than he had had at military school. She wrote that he had sought out real estate professors as friends, and his situation was altogether a socially awkward one. After graduating, Trump moved back to New York to work with his father for five years in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, brokering real estate development deals for Fred’s Trump Enterprises. Trump said on his Web site: “My father was my mentor and I learned a tremendous amount about every aspect of the construction industry from him."

GM tomatoes Scientists have always been intrigued by the tomato. It is the only fruit that is treated like a vegetable and that has many nutritional benefits when eaten. To enhance the goodness of tomatoes, scientists have been toying with the idea of making genetically modified tomatoes for many years. It was finally in 1994 that the first GM tomato variety hit the markets of the USA. This was known as the Flavor Savr. These were the transgenic tomatoes made by deactivating a particular gene in them.

An ethnocentric staffing policy is one in which key management positions are filled by parent country nationals. The advantages of the ethnocentric approach are: (1) Overcomes lack of qualified managers in host country, (2) Unified culture, and (3) Helps transfer core competencies. The disadvantages of the ethnocentric approach are: (1) Produces resentment in host country, and (2) Can lead to cultural myopia. An ethnocentric approach is typically appropriate for firms utilizing an international strategy. A polycentric staffing policy requires host country nationals to be recruited to manage subsidiaries, while parent country nations occupy key positions at corporate headquarters. The advantages of the polycentric approach are: (1) Alleviates cultural myopia, and (2) It is inexpensive to implement. The disadvantages of the polycentric approach are: (1) Limits career mobility, and (2) Isolates headquarters from foreign subsidiaries. A polycentric approach is typically appropriate for firms utilizing a multidomestic strategy."

"text": "Ethnocentrism Elizabeth Baylor LAST REVIEWED: 06 May 2016LAST MODIFIED: 11 January 2012DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780199766567-0045Introduction Ethnocentrism is a term applied to the cultural or ethnic bias—whether conscious or unconscious—in which an individual views the world from the perspective of his or her own group, establishing the in-group as archetypal and rating all other groups with reference to this ideal. This form of tunnel vision often results in: (1) an inability to adequately understand cultures that are different from one’s own and (2) value judgments that preference the in-group and assert its inherent superiority, thus linking the concept of ethnocentrism to multiple forms of chauvinism and prejudice, including nationalism, tribalism, racism, and even sexism and disability discrimination. Ethnocentrism is a concept that was coined within anthropology and formed the cornerstone of its early evolutionary theory before becoming one of the discipline’s primary social critiques. It continues to both challenge and inspire anthropologists, shifting in meaning and application with theoretical trends and across the subdisciplines. For many anthropologists in the Boasian tradition, ethnocentrism is the antithesis of anthropology, a mind-set that it actively counters through cultural relativism, education, and applied activities such as cultural brokering. Physical anthropologists have tended to define the concept more generally as preferential cooperation with a defined in-group and to interrogate its potential evolutionary origins, while the postmodern trend has been a growing suspicion of the anthropologist’s own ability to transcend cultural bias in his or her analysis and presentation of the “other,” leading to an emphasis on reflexivity and subjective diversity. Outside of the discipline, ethnocentrism is a topic of study for biologists, political scientists, communication experts, psychologists, and sociologists, particularly in the areas of politics, identity, and conflict. Marketing has seized on the term to describe consumers who prefer domestically produced goods, and the derivative ethnocentric has become a common criticism in the era of globalization for those assuming their own cultural superiority. General Overviews and Foundational Texts It is difficult to identify a definitive text for the concept of ethnocentrism, given its shifting meanings and common usage as an implicit critique. Sumner 1906 provides the original formulation of the term, defining it as a “view of things in which one’s own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it.”"

"text": "What is Ethnocentrism? March 10, 2011 , cherran , Leave a comment What is Ethnocentrism? Ethnocentrism is the view or belief that one’s ethnicity is superior over the others. The “ethno” from the word ethnocentrism comes from “ethnos”, a Greek word meaning “people”. “ Centrism” meanwhile refers to “center”. Literally, ethnocentrism translates to people’s self-centeredness, viewing oneself as better than others, in terms of beliefs and/or points of view. Ethnocentrism as a philosophical concept began in the early parts of the 20th century, wherein people would make assumptions or believe that one’s practices and beliefs are better than the others. Ethnocentrism became the exact opposite of “Cultural Relativism”, wherein the values and beliefs of other people or cultures are accepted and tolerated. It involved acceptance that one belief or one way of doing things may work for a particular community, but may not work for others. It does not in any way view one’s own values as the only thing that’s right."

Washington, Howard University ABSTRACT Twenty-first century organizations, rather small, medium, or large are increasingly finding themselves competing in global rather than local markets. This paper explores the current literature on the increasing global influence of ethnocentrism and its affect on international business communication. It also provides a model for overcoming ethnocentrism in a multicultural business environment. The goal of the paper is to provide practitioners with a realistic approach for overcoming ethnocentrism in a multicultural workplace. Key Words : Ethnocentrism; Globalization; Intercultural Business Communication JEL Code: F23, M14, Z1. Article Type: Research Article. INTRODUCTION Twenty-first century organizations have become increasing aware of the major benefits and broader perspectives that globalization creates in the domestic and international marketplace. Globalization is the capability of a corporation to market a product to the entire civilized world (Chaney & Martin, 2007). Bowes (2008) defines globalization as a means of creating a multicultural work force through welcoming new employees from various countries into their workplaces. According to the 2007 U. S. Census bureau, by the middle of the twenty-first century, the United States will cease to have a majority race."

"text": "\"Avoiding Ethnocentrism Ethnocentrism, as described at Dictionary.com, is \"\" The belief in the inherent superiority of one's own ethnic group or culture.\"\" For years, colleges and universities have been preparing students to avoid ethnocentrism and become more aware and open about other cultures. Not only does this help a business become successful in the long-run, but it also gives companies the advantage of attracting better and even more talented employees with a wider range of skill and expertise. Intercultural proficiency may be achieved in several ways, one of which includes doing research or reading up on a particular culture or group of people before engaging in business. It helps because it develops a cultural awareness of the other group. Communication, or improving intercultural proficiency, can also be achieved by the use of gestures and certain body language. Body motion that exhibits acknowledgement, for instance, like the nodding of one's head is a good example. Here are two short Youtube videos posted by Expert Village that relate to the topic: Avoiding Ethnocentrism by Avoiding Assumptions Avoiding Ethnocentrism using Gestures/Body Language Ethnocentrism has been in existence ever since people migrated from their country to others. History has shown us that because of ethnocentrism; racism, discrimination, and segregation became predominant. Business practices, in today's global markets, that do not address ethnocentrism will fail."

Sumner. Gumplowicz defined ethnocentrism as the reasons by virtue of which each people believed it had always occupied the highest point not only among contemporaneous peoples and nations but also in relation to all peoples of the historical past [6] (Der Rassenkampf, 1883). Sumner relied on observing the tendency for people to differentiate between the in-group and others, disseminating it in his 1906 work Folkways: A Study of the Sociological Importance of Usages, Manners, Customs, Mores, and Morals. He defined it as \"\"the technical name for the view of things in which one's own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it.\"\" He further characterized it as often leading to pride, vanity, beliefs of one's own group's superiority, and contempt of outsiders.

Topics: England, Adoption Pages: 1 (296 words) Published: February 9, 2011Ethnocentric is a staffing policy that is used in companies that has primarily international strategic orientation. This policy is generally adopted by headquarters by sending employees from the home or parent countries to the host country. This approach is used best in some situations such as, a team is sent from the home country to help setting up a new plant as well as train subsidiary personnel to use new system. The benefit of having staffs from home country abroad is that employees may gain experiences worldwide in order to become higher level in management of their headquarters because international managers require broad perspective and international exposure. Polycentric is the policy involved hiring and promoting employees who are citizens of the host countries that the subsidiary is operated. This policy is best used when companies want to keep hiring cost low. Moreover, employees who are hired at subsidiary level would not have any problem adapting to the culture. Communication is smooth within the operation. Regiocentric staffing policy involves hiring and promoting employees based on specific regional context where subsidiary is located."

Both articles, “Body Rituals of The Nacirema.” and the “The Sacred Rac” use ethnocentric language to describe culture in the United States. The first is a classic anthropological article titled, “Body Rituals of The Nacirema.” This article is a anthropological study of the United States (circa 1956) however it uses loaded language to frame very “normal” aspects of american life in a very abnormal way.

"text": "How to Overcome Ethnocentrism and Stereotyping05Sunday May 2013Posted by Ronak in Uncategorized≈ Leave a comment Ethnocentrism is the tendency to judge other groups according to the standards, behaviors, and customs of one’s own group. Given the automatic influence of one’s own culture, when people compare their culture to others, they often conclude that their own group is superior. An even more extreme reaction is xenophobia, a fear of strangers and foreigners. Clearly, businesspeople who take these view are not likely to communicate successfully across cultures. Distorted views of other cultures or groups also result from stereotyping, assigning a wide range of generalized attributes to an individual on the basis of membership in a particular culture or social group. For instance, assuming that an older colleague will be out of touch with the youth market or that a younger colleague cannot be an inspiring leader are examples of stereotyping age groups. Those who want to show respect for other people and to communicate effectively in business need to adopt a more positive viewpoint, in the form of cultural pluralism- the practice of accepting multiple cultures on their own terms. When crossing cultural boundaries, you will be even more effective if you move beyond simple acceptance and adapt your communication style to that of the new cultures you encounter- even integrating aspects of those cultures into your own. A few simple habits can help. Avoid assumptions: Do not assume that others will act the same way you do, use language and symbols the same way you do, or even operate from the same values and beliefs."

Many robberies in day time take place because nobody presents in home, so if there would be a joint family, robbery cases will also decrease. Another benefit, we don't have to ask for help from others if all family members are living together. Each and every person will share their opinions and take a good decision. you cant hide anything as u r in joint family ..what ever u want to keep secret....everyone can find that..so no privacy.

Sole traders are individuals who trade under their own name, or under a business name, without setting up a formal legal entity such as a company, partnership or trust. Operating your business as a sole trader avoids the costs and formalities involved in establishing and operating a separate legal entity. From a tax perspective, if you operate your business as a sole trader, your income is taxed at progressive individual tax rates. The most significant disadvantage of running your business as a sole trader is that your liability is unlimited."

Learning Objectives Identify the benefits and risks associated with licensing as a foreign market entry model Key Takeaways Key Points Foreign market entry options include exporting, joint ventures, foreign direct investment, franchising, licensing, and various other forms of strategic alliance. Of these potential entry models, licensing is relatively low risk in terms of time, resources, and capital requirements. Advantages of licensing include localization through a foreign partner, adherence to strict international business regulations, lower costs, and the ability to move quickly. Disadvantages to this entry mode include loss of control, potential quality assurance issues in the foreign market, and lower returns due to lower risk. When deciding to license abroad, careful due diligence should be done to ensure that the licensee is a strong investment for the licensor and vice versa. Key Termslicensor: In a licensing relationship, the owner of the produce, service, brand or technology being licensed.licensee: In a licensing relationship, the buyer of the produce, service, brand or technology being licensed. When considering entering international markets, there are some significant strategic and tactical decisions to be made. Exporting, joint ventures, direct investment, franchising, licensing, and various other forms of strategic alliance can be considered as market entry modes.

Solid surface is made by mixing acrylic resin with bauxite filler & pigments to form a sheet of solid surface material. This sheet is then bonded onto a timber substrate to form a solid surface worktop (as shown below). This is how Corian worktops and the majority of the other brands of solid surface worktops on the market are made. Other brands of solid surface available include Encore, Maia & Getacore. Not all solid surface worktops however have a timber substrate. Some brands of solid surface, such as Mistral & Minerva, are made from 100% solid surface material & contain no timber."

"text": "\"Print Reference this This essay has been submitted by a law student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Distinction Between Subsidiary and Wholly Owned Subsidiary According to section 4 of the Companies Act, a company shall be deemed to be a subsidiary of another, if and only if: (a) that other controls the compositions of its Board of directors; or (b) that other holds more than half in nominal value of its equity share capital (where a company had preference share holders, before commencement of the Companies Act,1956, enjoying voting rights with that of equity shareholder, for the purpose of control, holding company should enjoy more than half of the total voting power) [ 1] ; or (c) the first-mentioned company is a subsidiary of any company which is that other's subsidiary. For example, where company B is a subsidiary of company A and company C is a subsidiary of company B then company C shall be the subsidiary of company A. if company D is a subsidiary of company C, then company D shall also be a subsidiary of company B and consequently also of company A. [ 2]In the case of M. Velayudhan v. Registrar of Companies [ 3] the position regarding holding-subsidiary relationship was extensively laid down :“Sec. 4 envisages the existence of subsidiary companies in different situations. It may be that by acquiring sufficient share capital of a company, sufficient control may be obtained over the company to enable control in the composition of BOD. But, it is also possible to obtain such control in regard to the composition of the BOD without making such an in equity capital of the company. Such control may be by reason of an agreement such as where one company may agree to advance funds to another company and in return may, under the term of an agreement, gain control over the right to appoint all or a majority of BOD. The first of the cases envisaged in section 4 is the case where a control is obtained by a company in the matter of composition of the BOD of another company. That would be sufficient to constitute the former as holding company and the other as subsidiary."

THE CONCEPT OF ASSET PROTECTION includes the possibility of placing title in certain assets in the name of a less vulnerable spouse or other family members, or a legal entity. One should be very attentive in transferring title without an open invitation to a \"\"fraudulent transfer\"\" claim against the asset transferred as a result of the possibility of death by the spouse or a family member, or the possibility of a dissolute marriage, or even a court judgment. Fraudulent conveyance has to do with transferring assets at less than the \"\"fair cash value\"\" thereby defrauding a potential creditor or the intentional divesting of assets which become unavailable for satisfaction of a lawsuit. Fair cash value means cash or near cash value at the time of transfer, not the price you paid for the asset. Example: you transfer your portion of your equity in your home to your wife for $100.00 and the fair cash value of your portion of the equity was $250,000 or you transfer title to your car to your brother for $10.00."

"text": "Unlike personal property, real property – such as real estate or automobiles – is titled to convey ownership. This title must be transferred when the asset is sold and must be cleared (that is, be free of liens or encumbrances) in order for transfer to take place. Unlike other real property assets, real estate ownership can take several forms, each of which has implications on how ownership can be transferred and can affect how they can be financed, improved or used as collateral. Each of the types of title methods has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on an individual's particular situation and how one wants ownership to pass in the event of such things as death, divorce or sale. The most common of these methods of holding title are as follows: Advertiser Disclosure Joint tenancy Tenancy in common Tenants by entirety Sole ownership Community property This article will examine these and other, less common methods of holding title to real estate property so you can decide which method best meets your needs. Joint Tenancy Joint tenancy occurs when two or more people hold title to real estate jointly, with equal rights to enjoy the property during their lives; in the event of the death of one of the partners, their rights of ownership pass to the surviving tenant (s). Advantage The advantage of this method is that the parties in the ownership need not be married or related. Disadvantages The downside is that any financing or use of the property for financial gain must be approved by all parties and cannot be transferred by will after one passes. If the parties are not married, in order to get out of the title they must petition the court to divide the property or order its sale. Another large disadvantage is that a creditor who has a legal judgment to collect a debt from one of the owners can also petition the court to divide the property and force a sale in order to collect on its judgment."

"text": "Joint Property Ownership Joint Tenancy Troubles Joint Tenancy is a common form of asset ownership. * If you own a bank account, brokerage account or perhaps real estate with one or more persons, then you and they may be Joint Tenants. The full legal expression for this form of ownership is Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship (JTWROS). Right of Survivorship When one or more persons hold title to an asset as JTWROS, each of them owns the asset. When one Joint Tenant dies, the remaining Joint Tenants continue to own the asset. Ultimately, the sole surviving Joint Tenant owns the entire asset. This Right of Survivorship is one of the attractive legal features of Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship. Not surprisingly, many JTWROS relationships are between family members. It just seems like the natural thing to do and, especially between spouses in a long-term marriage, it reflects the financial partnership of their commitment. Nevertheless, as with most things in life, there are advantages and disadvantages to this form of asset ownership."

Business advantages and disadvantages for partnerships Partnerships are structures that involve the carrying on of a business with two or more people. The Partnership Act 1891 (Qld) (‘the Act’) governs the way partnerships are formed, governed and dissolved in Queensland. Section 5 of the Act defines partnership as ‘the relation which subsists between persons carrying on a business in common with a view to profit’. The broad legal definition of the word ‘person’ means that a partnership can be carried on by a combination of two or more entities, meaning that even two companies may act as a partnership. A partnership is an interesting structure in that it can come into existence without the intention of the parties to create it. A partnership is formed where: a commercial relationship is in existence between the parties; the parties use such commercial relationship to conduct a common business; and such business is conducted with a view to profit. A partnership can be distinguished from a joint venture, which will be explored in more detail in a later publication. There are many Business Advantages and Disadvantages in partnerships.

The femoral neck fracture often occurs in the elderly after a fall on the hip. Osteoporosis (bone degradation) contributes regularly to a broken bone. In severe osteoporosis, a simple’ bad’ movement may be enough to break a hip. Younger patients suffer from a femoral neck fracture most often after a violent shock, such as during a car accident or skis to cause this injury, the pressure on a young leg must be extremely violent. A femoral neck fracture requires an operation in the hours following the accident, to prevent necrosis of the femoral head (degradation and death of part or all of the top of the femur).

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the metal-joining process. For the cooking technique, see braising. Brazing practice Brazing is a metal -joining process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal. Brazing differs from welding in that it does not involve melting the work pieces and from soldering in using higher temperatures for a similar process, while also requiring much more closely fitted parts than when soldering. The filler metal flows into the gap between close-fitting parts by capillary action. The filler metal is brought slightly above its melting ( liquidus) temperature while protected by a suitable atmosphere, usually a flux. It then flows over the base metal (known as wetting) and is then cooled to join the work pieces together. [ 1] A major advantage of brazing is the ability to join the same or different metals with considerable strength.

Like Jamaiyah said, I agree with you and I want add another thing that I think important to share with all the members. As we all know, many people use the traditional medicines especially old generation people like our grandmother and grandfather. The advantages use the traditional medicines is we can get the herbs very easy because many the herbs come from around the house like coconut, ginger, garlic and the others. Besides, cost to get the herbs cheaper than modern treatment."

"text": "The 4 Types Of Economic Systems Explained May 19, 2014 by Will Gemma There are four primary types of economic systems in the world: traditional, command, market and mixed. Each economy has its strengths and weaknesses, its sub-economies and tendencies, and, of course, a troubled history. Below we examine each system in turn and give ample attention to the attributes listed above. It’s important to understand how different parts of the world function economically, as the economy is one of the strongest forces when it comes to balancing political power, instigating war and delivering a high (or low) quality of life to the people it serves. Anyone interested in economics on a global level should check out this fantastic course on the crisis of capitalism and why the global economy is teetering on the verge of collapse.1. Traditional Economic System A traditional economic system is the best place to start because it is, quite literally, the most traditional and ancient type of economy in the world. There are certain elements of a traditional economy that those in more advanced economies, such as Mixed, would like to see return to prominence. Where Tradition Is Cherished: Traditional economies still produce products and services that are a direct result of their beliefs, customs, traditions, religions, etc. Vast portions of the world still function under a traditional economic system. These areas tend to be rural, second- or third-world, and closely tied to the land, usually through farming."

What is the effect and, from the perspective of stakeholders, what are the advantages, disadvantages, and recommendations for successful implementation of different models of undergraduate/entry-level clinical education? Design Systematic review with data from quantitative and qualitative studies synthesised in a narrative format. Participants Undergraduates/entry-level students from five allied health disciplines undergoing clinical education. Intervention Six broad models of clinical education: one-educator-to-one-student (1:1); one-educator-to-multiple-students (1:2); multiple-educators-to-one-student (2:1); multipleeducators-to-multiple-students (2:2); non-discipline-specific-educator and student-as-educator. Outcome measures Models were examined for productivity; student assessment; and advantages, disadvantages, and recommendations for implementation. Results The review found few experimental studies, and a large amount of descriptive research and opinion pieces. The rigour of quantitative evidence was low, however qualitative was higher. Evidence supporting one model over another was largely deficient with few comparative studies available for analysis. Each model proffered strengths and weaknesses, which were unique to the model."

"text": "Why should you buy a laptop with SSD? Advantages and disadvantages of Solid State drives April 29, 2017 Michael K. Varnum SSD technology has been around for decades, but it was introduced to the consumer market only a few years ago. Solid state drives have a constant increase in popularity since 2012, and this mainly due to the fact that their cost has been steadily dropping too. So what are Solid State Drives and what advantages do they provide over traditional drives? And most importantly, why should you get a laptop with an SSD? Find out more below. What is a Solid State Drive? A solid-state drive is a storage device that uses flash memory to store files. SSDs have no moving parts, unlike traditional mechanical hard drives which contain spinning disks and movable read/write heads: put simply, an SSD is a hard drive that doesn’t move. It is the same technology used to make regular USB flash drives, since both SSDs and flash drives currently use the NAND-based flash memory, which can retain data even when powered off."

With almost 600,000 procedures performed annually, hysterectomy, or the removal of the uterus, is the second most common surgery for US women, trailing only cesarean sections. Although traditional abdominal hysterectomy, in which the uterus is removed through a large incision, continues to be the most common form of the procedure, less invasive approaches such as vaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomies are becoming more popular due to swift recovery rates, general safety, and cost-effectiveness. Types of Hysterectomies Supracervical (or partial) hysterectomy is when only the body of the uterus is removed, and the cervix is left in place. When the cervix is removed as well, the procedure is known as a total hysterectomy. A total hysterectomy can be accompanied by a unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in which the fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed. A radical hysterectomy describes a procedure in which the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and lymph nodes are excised, generally due to cancer. Because ovaries produce protective hormones over a woman’s lifetime, studies have shown that it is safer in the long term to leave them intact during most benign hysterectomies."

SBA SDB certification rules are somewhat tricky but you can overcome them by applying the basic requirements. An SBA Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Enterprise or DBE carries some weight in Federal Government Contracting when bidding as a small business. It can mean the difference between getting business contracts that are worth $750,000 versus getting nothing. There are various levels of control and statutory requirements that applicants must meet. Although you are truly a small disadvantaged business, the SBA denies certification in almost 57% of cases when companies applied for 8a disadvantaged business status. Many SBA Small Disadvantaged Business SDB Certification Program applicants fail to get SBA SDB certified on the first try.

"text": "The Advantages And Benefits Of Solid State Drive (SSD)10 2The advent of solid state drive (SSD) in the last few years as a viable alternative to the traditional hard drive (HDD) providing a much higher speed than the latter and other considerable advantages, has built up the reputation of this flash-based storage technology so quickly to the point that so many IT professionals were impelled to deeming it “the best performance upgrade” and recommending it to everyone looking forward to take their computer to the next level. That’s because, unlike solid state drives, no single hardware upgrade is capable of offering the kind of instantaneous and observable boost in system responsiveness, compared to a system based on traditional hard drive spinning media. Yes, it’s true that a faster processor, additional memory, and a faster graphics card may notably better the overall system performance, but compared to what an SSD can do, all those upgrades fall behind. But all the stated above traits don’t make SSDs free of disadvantages, they already undergo their own, and we’ll be outlining those disadvantages within this article after addressing the outstanding advantages they boast of. The Advantages of SSDs There are many advantages solid state drives (SSD) have over traditional mechanical hard disk drives (HDD). The majority of these advantages are resulted from the fact that SSDs don’t employ any moving part in their architecture. In contrast to mechanical hard drives that use drive motors to help spin up the magnetic platters as well as the drive heads, flash memory chips are the ones responsible for all the storage on a solid state drive. This feature offers faster data access, lower power requirements, and high reliability. Reliability Because SSDs don’t have any moving part, they are nearly invulnerable to fail in high shock and vibration environments and extreme temperatures. This trait, particularly the potential of operating in extreme temperatures between 0°C to +70°C, allows an SSD-based system to handle more applications in difficult situations where the traditional hard drives fail."

"text": "Print Page Email Page What Is Hemodialysis? While healthy kidneys have several functions in the body, the most well-known job is to produce urine. When kidney function goes below 10% to 15% kidneys are no longer able to filter the blood and make urine. This causes toxins to build up in the body along with excess fluid. Fortunately, we live in a time when there are treatments and medicines that can replace the functions of the kidneys and keep the body alive. One type of renal replacement therapy — meaning a treatment that replaces kidney function — is hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is a therapy that filters waste, removes extra fluid and balances electrolytes (sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride, calcium, magnesium and phosphate). How is hemodialysis done? In hemodialysis, blood is removed from the body and filtered through a man-made membrane called a dialyzer, or artificial kidney, and then the filtered blood is returned to the body. The average person has about 10 to 12 pints of blood; during dialysis only one pint (about two cups) is outside of the body at a time."

First, it protects private property. Second, it allows the free market and the laws of supply and demand to determine prices. Third, it is driven by the motivation of the self-interest of individuals. A mixed economy has some characteristics of a command economy in strategic areas.

Early makings of this trade path began around 1000 BC, with two regions that desired salt and gold. Gold and salt trade fueled the economy of the Saharan region. It also opened up new contacts with the Mediterranean cities as well as the Arabian Peninsula. Trans-Saharan trade gave way to the spread of the Islamic religion. Where was the Trans-Saharan Trade Route Located? The Trans-Saharan trade route was not a single path. It was a branching route with multiple trading centers scattered across the course. Generally speaking, the route extended from Egypt in the west to Mauritania in the East. It ranged from Morocco in the North and Ethiopia in the southwest."

They are artificial, and unite part of the larger Sudan region with parts of the Sahara. As a consequence, Mali is a multiethnic country, with a majority of its population consisting of Mandé peoples. Mali's history is dominated by its role in trans-Saharan trade, connecting West Africa and the Maghreb. The Malian city Timbuktu is exemplary of this - situated on the southern fringe of the Sahara and close to the River Niger it has played an important role in the trans-Saharan trade from the 13th century, with the establishment of the Mali Empire.

"text": "Empire of Ancient Ghana Ancient Ghana derived power and wealth from gold and the introduction of the camel during the Trans-Saharan trade increased the quantity of goods that were transported. Majority of the knowledge of Ghana comes from the Arab writers. Al-Hamdani, for example, describes Ghana as having the richest gold mines on earth. These mines were situated at Bambuk, on the upper Senegal river. The Soninke people also sold slaves, salt and copper in exchange for textiles, beads and finished goods. They built their capital city, Kumbi Saleh, right on the edge of the Sahara and the city quickly became the most dynamic and important southern terminus of the Saharan trade routes. Kumbi Saleh became the focus of all trade, with a systematic form of taxation. Later on Audaghust became another commercial centre. The wealth of ancient Ghana is mythically explained in the tale of Bida, the black snake. This snake demanded an annual sacrifice in return for guaranteeing prosperity in the Kingdom, therefore each year a virgin was offered up for sacrifice, until one year, the fiancé (Mamadou Sarolle) of the intended victim rescued her."

Insoll Camel caravans and the rise of commerce in medieval Mali A camel caravan crosses the western Sahara enroute to Timbuktu with blocks of salt mined at Taodeni, 350 miles to the north. ( Emilie Manfuso Aebi)For nearly a thousand years, camel caravans plied the trackless sands of the western Sahara, a barren landscape where arid conditions and searing sun conspire against crops, trees, and even desert grasses. Traveling from well to well, merchants transported the products of West Africa--gold, ivory, salt, and slaves--to the northern reaches of the continent, where they would exchange them for glass, ceramics, and precious stones brought to North Africa from the wider Mediterranean world. It was the control of this trans-Saharan trade that fueled medieval West Africa's greatest empires, those of Ghana (not to be confused with the modern country), which flourished between the ninth and eleventh centuries A. D.; Mali, which reached its apogee in the late fourteenth century; and Songhai, which dominated the region between the mid-fifteenth and late sixteenth centuries. Until recently, however, little was known about the origin and nature of trans-Saharan trade. What we knew came primarily from West African oral traditions and Arab historical sources, the latter often biased in their assessment of West Africa prior to the arrival of Islam in the late ninth century A. D. West African commodities such as ivory, god, salt, and slaves were shipped north in exchange for ceramics and semiprecious stones brought in from the wider Mediterranean world. Dotted lines on larger image indicate caravan routes. ( Ken Feisel) [LARGER IMAGE]What was the nature of trade in the region before Islam and what impact did the religion have on commerce? A desire to find answers brought me to the banks of the Niger River in 1993, to investigate an oasis with the magical name of Timbuktu and the ancient city of Gao, capital of the Songhai Empire. Located in the Sahel, a semidesert zone midway between the true desert, the Sahara, and the more fertile grassland and wooded savannahs to the southeast, Gao and Timbuktu lay at the juncture of riverine- and land-based commercial networks."

The term can also be used to refer to trade over bodies of water. Allowing goods to reach distant markets, a single trade route contains long distance arteries, which may further be connected to smaller networks of commercial and noncommercial transportation routes. Among notable trade routes was the Amber Road, which served as a dependable network for long-distance trade.

[ 2] During the Middle Ages, organizations such as the Hanseatic League, aimed at protecting interests of the merchants, and trade became increasingly prominent. [ 3]In modern times, commercial activity shifted from the major trade routes of the Old World to newer routes between modern nation-states. This activity was sometimes carried out without traditional protection of trade and under international free-trade agreements, which allowed commercial goods to cross borders with relaxed restrictions.

The introduction of the camel, which preceded Muslims and Islam by several centuries, brought about a gradual change in trade, and for the first time, the extensive gold, ivory trade, and salt resources of the region could be sent north and east to population centers in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe in exchange for manufactured goods. The Empire grew rich from the trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt. This trade produced an increasing surplus, allowing for larger urban centers. It also encouraged territorial expansion to gain control over the lucrative trade routes. The first written mention of the kingdom comes from Arabic-language sources some time after the conquest of North Africa by Muslims, when geographers began compiling comprehensive accounts of the world known to Islam around 800. The sources for the earlier periods are very strange as to its society, government or culture, though they do describe its location and note its commercial relations."

Its capital was the city of Gao, where a Songhai state had existed since the 11th century. Its base of power was on the bend of the Niger River in present day Niger and Burkina Faso. The Songhai state has existed in one form or another for over a thousand years if one traces its rulers from the first settlement in Gao to its semi-vassal status under the Mali Empire through its continuation in Niger as the Dendi Kingdom. The Songhai are thought to have settled at Gao as early as 800 CE, but did not establish it as the capital until the 11th century, during the reign of Dia Kossoi. However, the Dia dynasty soon gave way to the Sonni, proceeding the ascension of Sulaiman-Mar, who gained independence and hegemony over the city and was a forbear of Sonni Ali.

Their Adulis port by the red sea became the main port for export, and by the third century, Axum had succeeded Meroë, the capital of Kush, in becoming the supplier of African goods to the Roman Empire. It is also the first African empire to manufacture its own coins."

"text": "The Bantu Before the age of empires Sub-Saharan Africa was extremely diversified. Unlike parts of Europe, Asia, and north Africa, it was never united under a universal religion or empire/state. Some African societies were stateless, organized around kinship and family obligation with no centralized authority. Government in these societies was never a full time occupation; there were no large armies, no large-scale political organization, no large building projects, nor were there conditions to conduct long-distant trade with other people. What similarities there were resulted from the earlier migration of the Bantu people. Their root language created common structure and vocabularies across African languages and dialects; this allowed some mutual understanding among various tribes. Most African tribes also had similarities in their belief systems. They were animistic, believing in a world controlled by spiritual forces and gods. These forces had to be dealt with through a specialist who would proscribe rituals, sacrifices, or some other form of religious practice to affect events. These beliefs created a view of how the universe worked and how one should ethically relate oneself to it."

The power of IBM's Z System processor can move mountains of data, billions of instructions and supports parallel processing. A batch job that copies billions of records from one file to another file structure can take minutes instead of hours. Multiprocessing of hundreds of simultaneous users, system tasks, online service and batch jobs will not crash a processor: a mainframe LPAR image is designed to handle heavy loads. The processor will not crash from overuse or overheating like ordinary computers. The latest z14 mainframe's feature is is 100% data encryption, ensuring high security, real time insights that are beneficial for machine learning and a strong cloud platform.

"text": "\"Flag Why is mainframe computing important? Answer by Peter Forrest Confidence votes 7.4KMainframes are primarily used to store and retrieve vast amounts of data simultaneously amongst many workstations. They are typically used in the financial and banking industries, the airline industry, space agencies and universities. That is, any small to large-scale organisation that requires a data centre. Mainframes are often thought of as being enormous computers, however the size is actually immaterial. The smallest mainframe consists of just a single cabinet housing the processors, memory, hard-drives and backup facilities, not much unlike a standard desktop computer (albeit slightly bigger). The real difference is in the number of workstations. Whereas a desktop computer independently serves just one workstation with its own discrete set of programs and data, a mainframe can simultaneously serve hundreds if not thousands of workstations with the same programs and data. Their size is primarily dependant upon the number of workstations and the amount of data that must be served. The mainframe itself (the processor and working memory) may be housed in one or more cabinets, while the data and backup facilities are spread over several more cabinets, perhaps even in separate rooms."

The first-generation 700s were based on vacuum tubes, while the later, second-generation 7000s used transistors. These machines established IBM's dominance in electronic data processing (\"\"EDP\"\"). IBM had two model categories: one (701, 704, 709, 7090, 7040) for engineering and scientific use, and one (702, 705, 705-II, 705-III, 7080, 7070, 7010) for commercial or data processing use. The two categories, scientific and commercial, generally used common peripherals but had completely different instruction sets, and there were incompatibilities even within each category. IBM initially sold its computers without any software, expecting customers to write their own; programs were manually initiated, one at a time. Later, IBM provided compilers for the newly developed higher-level programming languages Fortran and COBOL."

Despite their beauty and polish, beneath the surface lies the same basic technology used in hardworking, plain and featureless mainframe or server computers. Whether they are used to browse the Internet, run business applications or perform complex scientific calculations, all computers consist of four basic parts: the CPU, motherboard, data input and data output devices. CPUThe CPU, or central processing unit, provides most of a computer's intelligence. CPUs perform arithmetic calculations, compare data and move information from one memory location to another under the direction of a program. Computer programs are instructions given to the CPU to perform a task. CPUs can execute program instructions one after another or they can jump from one part of the program to another based upon the results of previous calculations. CPUs rely on memory locations called registers to hold data to be processed or program instructions. In addition, some CPUs have a special cache of high-speed memory used to hold a copy of frequently used data from the computer's main memory close at hand for fast access. Motherboard By itself, the CPU is no more useful than a car engine without a chassis, transmission or wheels."

"text": "\"\"\"Midrange computer\"\" is a loosely defined term for a computer system that is more powerful than a general-purpose personal computer but less powerful than a full-size mainframe computer. In most instances, a midrange computer is employed as a network server when there are a small to medium number of client systems. The computers generally have multiple processors, a large amount of random access memory (RAM), and large hard drives. Additionally, they usually contain hardware that allows for advanced networking, and ports for connecting to more business-oriented peripherals such as large-scale data storage devices. The use of a midrange computer is not limited to businesses, however, as some people build or purchase midrange systems when high-end personal computers are insufficient, as could be the case with complex real-time image processing or computer gaming. There is no single definition of what constitutes a midrange computer system. In general, it refers to a system with installed hardware that has higher operating specifications than what typically is found in the broader consumer retail market. At the same time, the systems are considered midrange because the hardware is not as powerful as a larger mainframe system that often uses components specifically designed for business or industrial networking, security and redundancy. One noticeable difference between a midrange system and a mainframe is that the midrange system often retains a large amount of functionality as a stand-alone personal computer, while a mainframe is geared primarily toward being a network host. Ad The central processing unit ( CPU) on a midrange computer is frequently a multi-core design, meaning there are several physical processing chips on the motherboard working in tandem."

While other forms of computing are used extensively in business in various capacities, the mainframe occupies a coveted place in today's e-business environment. In banking, finance, health care, insurance, utilities, government, and a multitude of other public and private enterprises, the mainframe computer continues to be the foundation of modern business. Until the mid-1990s, mainframes provided the only acceptable means of handling the data processing requirements of a large business. These requirements were then (and are often now) based on running large and complex programs, such as payroll and general ledger processing. The mainframe owes much of its popularity and longevity to its inherent reliability and stability, a result of careful and steady technological advances that have been made since the introduction of the System/360™ in 1964.

A computer on which a hypervisor runs one or more virtual machines is called a host machine, and each virtual machine is called a guest machine. The hypervisor presents the guest operating systems with a virtual operating platform and manages the execution of the guest operating systems. Multiple instances of a variety of operating systems may share the virtualized hardware resources: for example, Linux, Windows, and mac OS instances can all run on a single physical x86 machine. This contrasts with operating-system-level virtualization, where all instances (usually called containers) must share a single kernel, though the guest operating systems can differ in user space, such as different Linux distributions with the same kernel. The term hypervisor is a variant of supervisor, a traditional term for the kernel of an operating system: the hypervisor is the supervisor of the supervisor, [1] with hyper- used as a stronger variant of super-.

"text": "What is an LPAR? LPAR (Logical Partitioning) is a way of subdividing all of a computer’s resources, including the memory, storage, and processors, and splitting them up into smaller logical units that can each be run as a separate part of the operating system (OS). In order for LPAR to be implemented, it requires the computer to have specialized hardware circuits that separate the computing system’s various functions such as server/client actions, database functions, web server functions, or different language services. LPAR also helps segregate testing from production environments on the same computer since, fundamentally, they act as separate computers. Who Invented LPAR? The IBM corporation invented LPAR in 1972 when it developed the concept of Hypervisors, which were virtual machines. The Start Interpretive Execution (SIE) instruction was deployed on the 3081 and was then used to help allocate system resources across LPARs in order to share physical computer resources. How does LPAR Work? LPAR works through the logical partitioning of hardware and software resources on a computer. Two LPARs can access memory residing on a common memory chip as long as the defined ranges of memory addresses do not overlap with each other."

What is the Structure of a Computer System? [ Figure 4.1] [Slide 4-1]A computer system is a set of devices that can accept and store programs and data, execute programs by applying their instructions to the data, and reporting the results. Figure 4.1 explains the general organization of computer system hardware. The principal components of a computer system are the processor, main memory, input and output devices, and secondary storage. Stress to students that the same organization is used to build a microcomputer for a desktop or for a mainframe. The Processor (CPU)The central processing unit is the most important hardware component of a computer system. It is known as the CPU, the central processor or instruction processor, and the main microprocessor in a microcomputer. Data is processed and stored in a computer system through the presence or absence of electronic or magnetic signals in the computer ' s circuitry of the media it uses. This is called a A two-state or binary representation of data, since the computer and media can exhibit only two possible states or conditions (1s and 0s)."

Microcomputers A microcomputer is a computer that has a microprocessor chip (or multiple microprocessors) as its CPU. They are more commonly called personal computers because they are designed to be used by one person at a time. Personal computers are typically used at home, at school, or at a business. Popular uses for microcomputers include word processing, surfing the Web, sending and receiving e-mail, spreadsheet calculations, database management, editing photographs, creating graphics, and playing music or games. Personal computers come in two major varieties, desktop computers and notebook computers: Tablets and Smartphones PDAs and Palmtops Workstations/Servers Mainframes Supercomputers Micros Everywhere!Desktop computers are larger and not meant to be portable. They usually sit in one place on a desk or table and are plugged into a wall outlet for power. The case of the computer holds the motherboard, drives , power supply, and expansion cards. This case may lay flat on the desk, or it may be a tower that stands vertically (on the desk or under it). The computer usually has a separate monitor (either a CRT or LCD) although some designs have a display built into the case."

While public perceptions on biofuels may have changed over the years, quite a lot of interest in the pros and cons of this fuel source still remain. It is important for all consumers to seriously consider both the positive and negative aspects of this still-emerging technology. Primary Advantages and Disadvantages of Biofuels No fuel source is completely positive or completely negative. Consumers need to weigh the pros and cons of biofuels to determine whether they feel comfortable with this resource as an alternative to traditional fuels. Advantages Source Biofuel advocates frequently point out the advantages of these plant- and animal-based fuels, such as: Cost: Biofuels prices have been falling and have the potential to be significantly less expensive than gasoline and other fossil fuels. In fact, ethanol is already cheaper than diesel and gasoline. This is particularly true as worldwide demand for oil increases, oil supplies dwindle, and more sources of biofuels become apparent. Source material: Whereas oil is a limited resource that comes from specific materials, biofuels can be manufactured from a wide range of materials including crop waste, manure, and other byproducts. This makes it an efficient step in recycling."

Biomass Has Long Been a Renewable Form of Fuel By Marc Lallanilla Updated 02/17/17Share Pin Email Joel Johndro/E+/Getty Images Biomass energy is as old as a caveman's fire, and it remains an important source of renewable energy worldwide. Despite its ancient use as a source of heat and energy, however, many people don't know what biomass energy really means, or where biofuels come from. What Is Biomass Energy? Biomass energy is any kind of energy that uses a biological organism (plant or animal) as its source. Because the definition of biomass is so broad, fuels that can be considered \"\"biomass\"\" include a wide variety of items and researchers are discovering new biomass energy sources all the time. Animal manure, landfill waste, wood pellets, vegetable oil, algae, crops like corn, sugar, switchgrass and other plant material -- even paper and household garbage -- can be used as a biomass fuel source. Biomass fuel can be converted directly into heat energy through combustion, like the burning of a log in a fireplace. In other cases, biomass is converted into another fuel source; examples include ethanol gasoline made from corn or methane gas derived from animal waste. How Practical Is Biomass Energy?"

"text": "What is Biomass Energy Please share/bookmark with: What is Biomass and how is Biomass Energy Made What is Biomass, or more importantly what is the definition of “biomass”. Every tree, crop and living plant that grows on the planet Earth has energy inside it, and bioenergy is the generalised term used for all living matter that has the ability of storing this energy. As with most living things, energy is stored in the form of carbohydrates, including celluloses, starches and sugars, that are produced as part of the process of photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis enables green plants to capture the electromagnetic radiation from the sun and transform it into chemical energy, with the biomass energy obtained by reversing this photosynthesis process. The stored energy within the living matter is released when the chemical compounds within the organic materials are broken down due to decomposition. The organic residues left over from this process being called biomass. Biomass Material and Crops Then biomass uses plants as sources of energy with the term “Biomass” in its broadest sense being used to describe organic matter produced by living organisms and therefore, biomass sources can potentially comprise of a wide variety of different natural materials from liquids to solids to gas. Biomass energy is very advantageous because it can be produced from a total natural process and source and is therefore regarded as a “green”, and climate-friendly form of energy making biomass energy a renewable energy resource compared to fossil fuels. There are a lot of ways that energy can be made. The burning of fossil fuels, the utilisation of the sunshine to generate solar energy or by making use of the flow of water for hydroelectric generators, all these are ways of creating energy."

Biofuels can be derived directly from plants, or indirectly from agricultural, commercial, domestic, and/or industrial wastes. [ 1] Renewable biofuels generally involve contemporary carbon fixation, such as those that occur in plants or microalgae through the process of photosynthesis. Other renewable biofuels are made through the use or conversion of biomass (referring to recently living organisms, most often referring to plants or plant-derived materials). This biomass can be converted to convenient energy-containing substances in three different ways: thermal conversion, chemical conversion, and biochemical conversion. This biomass conversion can result in fuel in solid, liquid, or gas form. This new biomass can also be used directly for biofuels. Bioethanol is an alcohol made by fermentation, mostly from carbohydrates produced in sugar or starch crops such as corn, sugarcane, or sweet sorghum. Cellulosic biomass, derived from non-food sources, such as trees and grasses, is also being developed as a feedstock for ethanol production. Ethanol can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form, but it is usually used as a gasolineadditive to increase octane and improve vehicle emissions."

"text": "\"Biofuels Biofuels are solid, liquid or gas fuels made from recently-harvested biological material (biomass). Most biofuel is derived from plants, either crops grown specifically for fuel use or material left over from plants harvested for other uses. Burning biofuel releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, just as burning any other fuel does. However, unlike fossil fuel, biofuel can be renewable and low in carbon intensity -- if it is derived from plants that are grown sustainably (with new growth continuously replacing harvested material). In New York State there is some unproductive and marginal farmland with the potential for growing dedicated energy crops for cellulosic biofuels production. In addition, more than 18.5 million acres of New York timberland are being renewed at a rate greater than 3 to 1, meaning that low-grade timber can be harvested in a sustainable manner for producing energy. Emissions, health effects and land use impacts associated with biofuels are not well understood. The State Task Force on Renewable Energy points out the need to examine environmental impacts of biofuel production, particularly on local water and air quality, as well as the land use impact from diversion of crops and the larger impact on the agricultural industry. Why Biofuels Biofuels can be low in carbon intensity (the net amount of carbon released to the atmosphere) - as long as uptake by other growing plants balances the carbon that is released in biofuel production and use. Locally-grown biofuel can enhance energy security by increasing independence from petroleum."

The company recently demonstrated its algae-based fuel in a diesel car, and in January, it announced a development and testing agreement with Chevron. Late last year, the company received a $2 million grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop a substitute for crude oil based on algae. Green fuel: A startup has developed a method for converting the algae shown here into fuel. The new process combines genetically modified strains of algae with an uncommon approach to growing algae to reduce the cost of making fuel. Rather than growing algae in ponds or enclosed in plastic tubes that are exposed to the sun, as other companies are trying to do, Solazyme grows the organisms in the dark, inside huge stainless-steel containers. The company’s researchers feed algae sugar, which the organisms then convert into various types of oil. The oil can be extracted and further processed to make a range of fuels, including diesel and jet fuel, as well as other products. The company uses different strains of algae to produce different types of oil. Some algae produce triglycerides such as those produced by soybeans and other oil-rich crops."

Nearly all life on Earth depends on solar energy since plants use sunlight to make food through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis was the process that fed plants and animals, which in turn, over the course of millions of years, became fossil fuels. The Sun heats some areas of Earth more than other areas, which causes wind. The Sun's energy also drives the water cycle, which moves water over the surface of the Earth. Some of these types of energy can be harnessed for use by people. The other main source of energy is Earth’s internal heat. This heat has two origins: the breakdown of chemical elements by radioactivity, and the heat that is left over from when the planet came together. These two sources will be described in more detail in later chapters. Energy Resources Lesson Objectives Compare ways in which energy changes from one form to another."

This month PBF Energy and Alon USA both told analysts they had new plans to blend renewables like ethanol and biodiesel with gasoline and petroleum-based diesel as a way to fend off high prices for renewable credits, known as RINs. Refiners are relying more on RINs as growing renewable mandates fail to match weaker-than-expected gasoline demand. Those that can physically blend renewables into fuel like gasoline and diesel can cut their RINs purchases and save money by entering into long-term contracts with biofuels producers at better prices. “You have more control over your ethanol costs with long-term contracts,” said John Auers, refinery specialist at Dallas-based consultants Turner, Mason & Company about the trend of in-house refinery blending. “ There is a lot of logic in that,” he added, saying he expected other refiners to begin blending or blend more to try to keep pace with the larger market players.

By upgrading the quality to that of natural gas, it becomes possible to distribute the gas to customers via the existing gas grid within existing appliances. Renewable natural gas is a subset of synthetic natural gas or substitute natural gas (SNG). Renewable natural gas can be produced economically and distributed via the existing gas grid, making it an attractive means of supplying existing premises with renewable heat and renewable gas energy, while requiring no extra capital outlay of the customer. Renewable natural gas can be converted into liquefied natural gas (LNG) for direct use as fuel in transport sector.

( Georgia Tech Photo: Rob Felt)Download Image MORE PHOTOSResearchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Joint Bio Energy Institute have engineered a bacterium to synthesize pinene, a hydrocarbon produced by trees that could potentially replace high-energy fuels, such as JP-10, in missiles and other aerospace applications. With improvements in process efficiency, the biofuel could supplement limited supplies of petroleum-based JP-10, and might also facilitate development of a new generation of more powerful engines. By inserting enzymes from trees into the bacterium, first author and Georgia Tech graduate student Stephen Sarria, working under the guidance of assistant professor Pamela Peralta-Yahya, boosted pinene production six-fold over earlier bioengineering efforts. Though a more dramatic improvement will be needed before pinene dimers can compete with petroleum-based JP-10, the scientists believe they have identified the major obstacles that must be overcome to reach that goal. Funded by Georgia Tech startup funds awarded to Peralta-Yahya’s lab and by the U. S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, the research was reported February 27, 2014, in the journal ACS Synthetic Biology. “We have made a sustainable precursor to a tactical fuel with a high energy density,” said Peralta-Yahya, an assistant professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech. “ We are concentrating on making a ‘drop-in’ fuel that looks just like what is being produced from petroleum and can fit into existing distribution systems. ”Fuels with high energy densities are important in applications where minimizing fuel weight is important. The gasoline used to power automobiles and the diesel used mainly in trucks both contain less energy per liter than the JP-10."

"text": "\"THE LANDSCAPEThere is broad consensus that biofuels are a key component of a sustainable transportation sector, and that production from cellulosic biomass is highly desirable. In addition to potential for large-scale supply, rural economic development, and desirable environmental attributes, the purchase cost of widely available cellulosic feedstocks is competitively priced with petroleum even at $50/barrel. More about our technology Gasoline Diesel Hydrogen Electricity Biofuel Aggregated transport energy use, 2DS Fulton et al., Biofuels, Bioproducts, and Biorefining, 2015. Current Process Feedstock $1 - $1.25Enzymes $.50 - $1Pretreatment $.20 - $.40Fixed Production $.30 - $.35Total $2 - $3THE PROBLEMCurrent technologies for conversion of cellulosic biofuels to ethanol are too expensive due to the high cost of pretreatment and added enzymes. Enchi seeks to solve this problem by eliminating costly enzyme addition and eliminating pretreatment as we know it today. Our focus is first on ethanol, the logical point of entry and proving ground for cellulosic biofuels, and then for other molecules. THE ENCHI SOLUTIONThe Lynd lab is a leading pioneer of consolidated bioprocessing, (CBP), widely recognized as the ultimate low-cost configuration for cellulose hydrolysis and fermentation. Thermophilic bacteria and their enzymes have superior capability to solubilize lignocellulose as compared to industry-standard fungal cellulase. By taking full advantage of this capability combined with innovative processing strategies, Enchi foresees eliminating added enzymes and thermochemical pretreatment - an approach we call \"\"CBP Plus\"\"."

It is most often used as a motor fuel, mainly as a biofuel additive for gasoline. The first production car running entirely on ethanol was the Fiat 147, introduced in 1978 in Brazil by Fiat. Ethanol is commonly made from biomass such as corn or sugarcane. World ethanol production for transport fuel tripled between 2000 and 2007 from 17 × 10 9 liters (4.5 × 10 9 U.

Algae have short generation cycles and fast population growth that also support genetic advances. Using algae for biofuel production would spare corn and soybeans for consumption as food by humans. While there is commercial potential for microalgae, technological and other obstacles related to algae species, environmental conditions and production logistics must be met for practical large-scale production. Introduction Costs for energy, especially crude oil, have skyrocketed and global consumption of fossil fuels continues to rise. Using United States Department of Energy crude oil estimates for the proved world reserves and daily global consumption, one can project that recent rates of crude oil consumption will exhaust the proved world reserves in approximately 36 years."

Frankie, U. K. Corporal punishment can be defined as physical punishment that is meted out to someone because they have done something wrong. More often than not corporal punishment involves the use of canes to beat someone. Corporal punishment is normally meted out to children in schools by teachers and at homes by parents or guardians. The advantages of corporal punishment It helps to serve as a deterrent. When children see that someone has been whipped for misbehaving, they try not to do similar things in order to avoid getting whipped. With corporal punishment, parents are able to bring their children under control. There are certain children who can only be controlled through the use of the cane. Corporal punishment helps make children obedient, respectful, polite, etc."

This form of punishment was especially common in the United States and United Kingdom from the late 19th century through the 1960s. Washing out mouth with soap is most often used as a response to profanity, lying, biting, [1] tobacco use, or verbal disrespect. It functions both as a symbolic \"\"cleansing\"\" following the infraction, as well as acting as a deterrent due to the foul aftertaste. It is commonly used as child discipline or school discipline, and is more frequently employed by mothers than fathers. [ 2]This punishment still has advocates today, even though its use has diminished considerably in recent years in favour of discipline methods that are not considered violent or humiliating. Additionally, ingestion of soaps and detergents can have potentially serious health consequences, and persons utilizing this form of punishment may face legal sanctions.

"text": "Instructor: Erin Long-Crowell In this lesson, we discuss the social conflict approach to deviance, including the connection between deviance and power as well as deviance and capitalism. We also discuss the difference between white-collar and blue-collar crime and define corporate crime and organized crime. Social Conflict Theory What social patterns exist between social classes and what problems are caused by the conflict between them? How does social class affect deviance? These are questions asked by sociologists when considering the social conflict theory. Social conflict theory is all about inequality in society. It proposes that laws and norms reflect the interests of powerful members of society. In other words, social order is maintained through competition and conflict, and the 'winners' - those with the most power and the greatest economic and social resources - benefit by taking advantage of the 'losers.' We discuss social conflict theory several times throughout this class, as it is one of the major sociological theories of how society operates as a whole. In this lesson, though, we'll focus on what this theory suggests about deviance."

The design, in pursuance of which they were written, was not so extensive as that announced by the present title. They had at that time no other destination than that of serving as an introduction to a plan of a penal code in terminus, designed to follow them, in the same volume. The body of the work had received its completion according to the then present extent of the author's views, when, in the investigation of some flaws he had discovered, he found himself unexpectedly entangled in an unsuspected corner of the metaphysical maze. A suspension, at first not apprehended to be more than a temporary one, necessarily ensued: suspension brought on coolness, and coolness, aided by other concurrent causes, ripened into disgust. Imperfections pervading the whole mass had already been pointed out by the sincerity of severe and discerning friends; and conscience had certified the justness of their censure. The inordinate length of some of the chapters, the apparent inutility of others, and the dry and metaphysical turn of the whole, suggested an apprehension, that, if published in its present form, the work would contend under great disadvantages for any chance, it might on other accounts possess, of being read, and consequently of being of use. But, though in this manner the idea of completing the present work slid insensibly aside, that was not by any means the case with the considerations which had led him to engage in it. Every opening, which promised to afford the lights he stood in need of, was still pursued: as occasion arose the several departments connected with that in which he had at first engaged, were successively explored; insomuch that, in one branch or other of the pursuit, his researches have nearly embraced the whole field of legislation. Several causes have conspired at present to bring to light, under this new title, a work which under its original one had been imperceptibly, but as it had seemed irrevocably, doomed to oblivion."

It is personal and temporal in character to accommodate values, beliefs, needs, perceptions, the special characteristics of the situation, and the personal pressures prevailing at a particular place and time. Senior employees (especially those with administrative authority) significantly contribute to intensity because they typically dictate an organization’s stance on ethical issues. Also, knowledge, the six spheres of influence, and moral intensity are other factors that influence this. It is up to managers to identify ethical issues and educate employees (with diverse values and backgrounds) in how the firm wants specific ethical issues handled; Identification is crucial – the better management identifies ethical issues the more likely that individuals will perceive the issue as important; Studies show that if individuals perceive an issue as important to the firm the less likely they are to engage in questionable or unethical behavior.

We organize ourselves into various kinds of social groupings, such as nomadic bands, villages, cities, and countries, in which we work, trade, play, reproduce, and interact in many other ways. Unlike other species, we combine socialization with deliberate changes in social behavior and organization over time. Consequently, the patterns of human society differ from place to place and era to era and across cultures, making the social world a very complex and dynamic environment. Insight into human behavior comes from many sources. The views presented here are based principally on scientific investigation, but it should also be recognized that literature, drama, history, philosophy, and other nonscientific disciplines contribute significantly to our understanding of ourselves. Social scientists study human behavior from a variety of cultural, political, economic, and psychological perspectives, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. They look for consistent patterns of individual and social behavior and for scientific explanations of those patterns. In some cases, such patterns may seem obvious once they are pointed out, although they may not have been part of how most people consciously thought about the world. In other cases, the patterns—as revealed by scientific investigation—may show people that their long-held beliefs about certain aspects of human behavior are incorrect."

Smith April 2012, Vol 43, No. 4Print version: page 60A growing body of research has shown that spanking and other forms of physical discipline can pose serious risks to children, but many parents aren’t hearing the message. “It’s a very controversial area even though the research is extremely telling and very clear and consistent about the negative effects on children,” says Sandra Graham-Bermann, Ph D, a psychology professor and principal investigator for the Child Violence and Trauma Laboratory at the University of Michigan. “ People get frustrated and hit their kids. Maybe they don’t see there are other options. ”Many studies have shown that physical punishment — including spanking, hitting and other means of causing pain — can lead to increased aggression, antisocial behavior, physical injury and mental health problems for children. Americans’ acceptance of physical punishment has declined since the 1960s, yet surveys show that two-thirds of Americans still approve of parents spanking their kids. But spanking doesn’t work, says Alan Kazdin, Ph D, a Yale University psychology professor and director of the Yale Parenting Center and Child Conduct Clinic. “ You cannot punish out these behaviors that you do not want,” says Kazdin, who served as APA president in 2008. “"

This map from the Center for Effective Discipline shows the 19 states, in red, which have laws allowing corporal punishment in schools. Shown in white are the 31 states that have banned corporal punishment, most recently in Ohio in 2009 and New Mexico in 2011. In practice, it's becoming less common for schools to administer corporal punishment — even in states that technically allow it. Business Insider editor Erin Fuchs, for example, grew up in suburban Atlanta in the '90s and doesn't recall teachers ever hitting her classmates. But we were surprised to learn from a new database from the U. S. Department of Education that public schools hit kids as recently as 2011, the year the data was collected. ( One Texas school district administered corporal punishment to more than 120 kids that year alone. ) Corporal punishment usually comes in the form of paddling, according to a 2009 report by Human Rights Watch and American Civil Liberties Union (HRW/ACLU). Teachers or principals may strike students three or more times on the buttocks or upper thighs with a wooden paddle, which is often 15 inches long."

"text": "By Up Counsel Business Attorney Ramsey Taylor Startup founders often have a lot of questions, but one of the most common is whether they should set up a C-Corporation for their new business. Alternatives usually considered are the limited liability company (LLC) or an S-Corporation (a “pass through” version of a corporation). Very few founders consider establishing the traditional “partnership,” which is the third type of pass-through model. There are a number of operational differences between LLCs and C-Corporations, but when looking at the raw “numbers,” founders often go the easier and “cheaper” solution of using an LLC. Post a Job A few years down the road, when things get good, they go through the “pain” of conversion from an LLC to a C-Corporation. This process has its own tax and corporate challenges. Sometimes they also “move” their legal entity from their home location to Delaware – a process called “reincorporation,” which is also a bit of a pain and takes some time. The fundamental financial reason for using an LLC is that the US Tax Code had a pretty big penalty for using a C-Corporation: double taxation. However, with the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “New Tax Law”), Congress essentially took the tax “penalty” off the table. Today, as the vote to approve the New Tax Law approaches, the fiscal situation seems a lot less stark."

Breuer, the head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, last week spoke to the New York City Bar Association, extolling the virtues of deferred and nonprosecution agreements as the new standard for how the Justice Department deals with criminal conduct by corporations. It is not just corporate investigations that are being concluded with these agreements. They have been used recently with individuals to resolve investigations, like the recent agreement with the cyclist Floyd Landis over possible fraud charges. The Securities and Exchange Commission has also embraced them as a means to wrap up civil securities fraud cases. But are these agreements all they are cracked up to be as an enforcement tool? Or do they let corporations off too easily? Like anything in the world of white-collar crime, there are good reasons to use them, but questions remain about whether they should be the norm for policing corporate misconduct. White Collar Watch Deferred and nonprosecution agreements are contracts with the government in which a company (or individual) undertakes specified actions in exchange for charges being dismissed or not filed altogether. The terms usually require payment of a fine, continued cooperation with any investigations or trials and a commitment to enhance internal controls."

The reasoning may be to condition a child to avoid self-endangerment, to impose social conformity (in particular, in the contexts of compulsory education or military discipline ), to defend norms, to protect against future harms (in particular, those from violent crime ), and to maintain the law —and respect for rule of law —under which the social group is governed. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Punishment may be self-inflicted as with self-flagellation and mortification of the flesh in the religious setting, but is most often a form of social coercion. The unpleasant imposition may include a fine, penalty, or confinement, or be the removal or denial of something pleasant or desirable. The individual may be a person, or even an animal. The authority may be either a group or a single person, and punishment may be carried out formally under a system of law or informally in other kinds of social settings such as within a family. [ 2] Negative consequences that are not authorized or that are administered without a breach of rules are not considered to be punishment as defined here. [ 4] The study and practice of the punishment of crimes, particularly as it applies to imprisonment, is called penology, or, often in modern texts, corrections; in this context, the punishment process is euphemistically called \"\"correctional process\"\".

The concept of proportionality is used as a criterion of fairness and justice in statutory interpretation processes, especially in constitutional law, as a logical method intended to assist in discerning the correct balance between the restriction imposed by a corrective measure and the severity of the nature of the prohibited act. Within criminal law, it is used to convey the idea that the punishment of an offender should fit the crime. Under international humanitarian law governing the legal use of force in an armed conflict, proportionality and distinction are important factors in assessing military necessity.

In the 18th century Cesare Beccaria published On Crimes and Punishments which was to form the basis of penology based on the relative standard of culpability. As a result Jeremy Bentham developed the idea of the panopticon in which prisoners would simply be watched, rather than subjected to corporal punishment. The idea in practice became a cruel and ineffective corrective. A more sophisticated concept of proportionality that was testable in law was first developed in the High State Administrative Courts ( Oberlandesgericht) in Germany in the late 19th century, to review actions by the police.

Almost everyone seems to dislike the licence fee – but what are the alternatives? Are they viable? And what would be the likely results of their introduction? The White Paper published in 2006 on the future of the BBC promised to retain the licence fee as the Corporation’s primary source of funding for the following ten years. To predictable howls of protest from the right-wing press and political parties, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) decided to defer radical changes to the BBC’s funding until at least 2016. The political right might have been forgiven a little schadenfreude when the below-inflation cost of the licence was finalized in early 2007. To its critics, the licence fee is an iniquitous tax, forcing every household with a television to pay over a hundred pounds to a broadcaster whose content, in some cases, none of the inhabitants consumes.

These lenses also are called GP lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, RGP lenses and oxygen permeable lenses. GP contact lenses are rigid, but they shouldn't be confused with old-fashioned hard contact lenses, which are now essentially obsolete. Hard contact lenses were made of a type of plastic called poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA). Before 1971, when soft contact lenses were introduced, just about all contact lenses were made from PMMA, which is also called acrylic or acrylic glass, as well being referred to by the trade names Plexiglas, Lucite, Perspex and others. Soft lenses (top): Soft and silicone hydrogel lenses are thin, pliable lenses that cover the entire cornea and a small portion of the sclera. GP lenses (bottom): Gas permeable contacts are rigid lenses that float on a layer of tears and typically cover about 75 percent of the cornea. PMMA has excellent optical properties and was developed as a lightweight and shatter-resistant alternative to glass for many applications. But it is impermeable to oxygen and other gasses, and the clear front surface of the eye (cornea) needs a significant supply of oxygen to stay healthy."

Please Share!Next FAQ >< Previous FAQThere are three main categories of contact lenses, based on the materials they are made of: soft contacts, rigid gas permeable (GP) contacts, and hybrid contact lenses. What Soft Contact Lenses Are Made Of Soft contacts are made of pliable hydrophilic (\"\"water-loving\"\") plastics called hydrogels. Hydrogels absorb significant amounts of water to keep the lenses soft and supple. Because of this water-loving characteristic, the water content of various hydrogel contact lenses can range from approximately 38 to 75 percent (by weight). Generally, hydrogel soft lenses are available in these categories, based on their water content: Low water content (less than 40 percent water)Medium water content (50 to 60 percent water)High water content (more than 60 percent water)The water content of soft lenses allows oxygen to pass through the lenses and keep the cornea healthy during contact lens wear. Different brands of soft contact lenses have different water content and lens thickness. Generally, hydrogel lenses that have a low water content are thinner than soft lenses that have a high water content. There is significant variation in thickness and water content of hydrogel contact lenses because people will respond differently to the materials."

"text": "Contact Lens Overwear Syndrome (also known as contact lens-induced acute red eye, CLARE, or tight lens syndrome) is the result of patients over-extending their contact lens wearing time or by wearing their contact lenses in a closed eye environment (during sleep.) It is most common in people that wear non-gas permeable contact lenses, but can occur with any lens type. When contact lenses are worn for an extended time they can significantly reduce the amount of oxygen reaching the eye. The amount of reduction is based on a combination of how much the lens can move, how thick it is, how oxygen permeable it is, and how they are worn. Some symptoms of lens overwear are ocular pain and redness, tearing, decreased vision, and photophobia (light sensitivity). If the contact lens is still being worn or cannot be removed by the individual during an exam, it will show that the lens is “stuck” and unable to rotate normally. Often people will find it difficult to realize that they have worn their contact lenses too long since the corneal abrasions are masked by the decreased sensitivity brought on by oxygen deprivation. Additionally, poor hygiene can cause lens overwear. Sleeping in daily wear only lenses or wearing lenses all night can lead to complications that are often ignored until there is an infection or signs of hypoxia (decreased oxygen). Some people wear their lenses for too long to avoid buying news ones and end up with significantly blurred vision or red, irritated eyes."

"text": "Keratoconus What is it? Keratoconus is a progressive thinning of the cornea. The cornea is the clear, front window of the eye, which, along with the intra-ocular lens, focuses light onto the retina. The cornea normally is a smooth, round dome-like shape; however, in keratoconus, the cornea becomes very thin, irregular, and starts to protrude from the center or just below the center like a cone. This causes blurry vision that is often not correctable with glasses. Keratoconus usually involves both eyes, however one eye may be more advanced than the other. What are the Symptoms of Keratoconus? Typically, blurred vision that cannot be corrected with glasses is the first symptom. Other commonly reported symptoms are shadows next to images and distorted vision. What Causes Keratoconus?"

The truth is, today there are plenty of excellent options for correcting astigmatism with contact lenses. Here are the main types of contact lenses for astigmatism, in order of current popularity in the United States: Toric Contact Lenses The term \"\"toric contact lenses\"\" usually is used to describe specially designed soft contact lenses that correct astigmatism. Most toric contacts for astigmatism are indeed soft lenses — made either of a conventional hydrogel material or a highly breathable silicone hydrogel. But there are toric contact lenses made of rigid gas permeable (GP) contact lens materials, too. SEE ALSO: Contact Lenses For Astigmatism Q&A >Spherical contact lenses have the same power in all meridians, so it doesn't matter if they rotate on your eye when you blink. Toric lenses have different powers in different meridians, so they must remain rotationally stable and move only vertically with blinks. Some toric lenses are weighted at the bottom (below dotted line) to keep from rotating. Toric soft contact lenses for astigmatism differ from regular (\"\"spherical\"\") soft contacts that correct only myopia or hyperopia in two important ways: Toric lenses have different powers in different meridians of the lens to correct the varying amount of nearsightedness or farsightedness in different meridians of the eye that characterizes astigmatism."

Since they touch the eye, they have the potential to harm the eye if they are contaminated. Just as packaged foods display an expiration date, so do packaged medical devices, as a consumer protection measure. Contact Lens Expiration Date Though soft lenses are sealed in an airtight container, it's possible that over time the seal of the container can become compromised, possibly leading to contamination of the saline solution and lens inside. The expiration date on the lens package indicates the last month and year that the container should be considered free from contamination and the lenses inside safe to wear. It is not unusual for the expiration date of a soft contact lens to be four years from the date the lens was manufactured and packaged.

Radial Keratotomy was the first commonly practiced and known refractive surgery for correcting shortsightedness. History of Radial Keratotomy Radial Keratotomy was pioneered by a group of Russian ophthalmologists in 1970’s, who improved upon the techniques first described by the Dutch ophthalmologist Lendert Jan Lans in 1896 and the Japanese ophthalmologist Sato in the late 1930’s. Since then Radial Keratotomy has been widely performed throughout the world. This operation was the earliest refractive surgery procedure widely performed in the United States for the correction of shortsightedness. The early popularity of this procedure led to the progress of refractive surgery as a way to decrease or eliminate the need for spectacles or contacts. However, the popularity of Radial Keratotomy has declined since the introduction of excimer laser vision correction procedures such as Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and LASIK (due to superior predictability and stability). Radial Keratotomy Indications & Correction Range If you are younger than 20 years you should not have the procedure performed because your refraction may not be stable. Radial Keratotomy can be used to correct myopia from -0.5 to -8.0 D. However in practice it is effective in correction of low to moderate myopia up to -4.00 D before disturbing visual symptoms interfere with the refractive correction outcome. How Radial Keratotomy is performed?"

Scleral contacts are large-diameter gas permeable contact lenses specially designed to vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the \"\"white\"\" of the eye (sclera). In doing so, scleral lenses functionally replace the irregular cornea with a perfectly smooth optical surface to correct vision problems caused by keratoconus and other corneal irregularities. Also, the space between the cornea and the back surface of a scleral lens acts as a fluid reservoir to provide comfort for people with severe dry eyes who otherwise could not tolerate contact lens wear. Types Of Scleral Contact Lenses Scleral contacts are noticeably larger than standard gas permeable (GP) contacts and have a diameter equal to or greater than that of soft contact lenses. The smallest sclerals are approximately 14.5 mm in diameter, and the largest can be up to 24 mm. Large-diameter scleral and semi-scleral GP lenses rest on the sclera and vault over the misshapen cornea of a person with keratoconus, for better vision. Typically, lenses that are 18 mm or smaller are subcategorized as mini-sclerals. The average human cornea is approximately 11.8 millimeters in diameter, so even the smallest scleral contacts are designed to cover the entire corneal surface."

By parity of reasoning, you just add two hours every day to wear contact lenses until the fifth day. However, after you have adapted to wearing it, you should keep in mind that not wearing contact lenses more than 8 hours every day. And keep the good habit of hygiene which is very important.

"text": "Eye Exams for Contact Lenses Contact lenses are a great alternative to wearing eyeglasses. An often unknown fact is that not all patients wear contact lenses as their primary source of vision correction. Each patient is different, with some patients wearing contact lenses only on weekends, special occasions or just for sports. That is the beauty of contact lens wear, the flexibility it gives each individual patient and their lifestyle. If you decide to opt for contact lens wear, it is very important that the lenses fit properly and comfortably and that you understand contact lens safety and hygiene. A contact lens exam will include both a comprehensive eye exam to check your overall eye health, your general vision prescription and then a contact lens consultation and measurement to determine the proper lens fit. The Importance of a Comprehensive Eye Exam Whether or not you have vision problems, it is important to have your eyes checked regularly to ensure they are healthy and that there are no signs of a developing eye condition. A comprehensive eye exam will check the general health of your eyes as well as the quality of your vision. During this exam the eye doctor will determine your prescription for eyeglasses, however this prescription alone is not sufficient for contact lenses. The doctor may also check for any eye health issues that could interfere with the comfort and success of contact lens wear."

"text": "\"Nearsightedness A nearsighted eye is \"\"too long,\"\" causing light to converge in front of the retina instead of on it, blurring distance vision. Overview Nearsightedness, medically known as myopia (my-OH-pee-uh), refers to vision that is good at close range but poor at a distance. Nearsightedness generally occurs because the eyeball is too “long” as measured from front to back – being oval-shaped instead of being spherical. Because of the increased distance between the cornea and retina , light converges in front of the retina, rather than on it, making distant objects blurry. This may cause a nearsighted person to squint in order to see distant objects. Myopia comes from the Greek words myein, meaning shut, and ops, meaning eye. Nearsightedness, also known as “shortsightedness” or “close-sightedness,” is the most common vision problem in the U. S., affecting between 25 and 40 percent of the population. It usually develops in children and teenagers during growth periods, and may require frequent changes in corrective lens prescriptions – a reason why regular eye exams are important. It usually stops progressing around age 20, when growth is completed, and may even decrease slightly through the rest of your life. Most experts believe that nearsightedness is usually inherited, since it tends to run in families."

By Elizabeth Davis, RNUpdated March 10, 2018Share Pin Email Print An HSA is a good way to save, tax-free, for medical expenses. Image © Grenouille Films/E+/Gettyimages An HSA, or Health Savings Account, is a special type of tax-advantaged savings account designed to help you pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses when you have a high-deductible health plan, or HDHP. In addition to being a smart way to pay for medical expenses like your deductible, copays, and coinsurance, HSAs are increasingly being used as part of a retirement-planning strategy. However, because of the tax-advantages, there are lots of rules about who is allowed to start an HSA, who can contribute money to an HSA, and what that money can be used for. If you don’t follow the rules, you’ll lose the tax advantages and owe additional penalties. How Does an HSA Lower My Taxes? If you manage your HSA correctly and follow all of the IRS rules, your HSA money is: Not taxed when you earn it and put it into the HSA. Not taxed as it grows.

"text": "There are a few ways you might find yourself in a position where buying a house with cash is an option. You may have saved up your money for a long time, you may have come into a large sum of money through an inheritance or prize winnings, or you may have built up enough equity with another home to be in a position such that buying another house outright is possible. Whatever the reason, if you have the cash to do it, you may be wondering if purchasing a house outright is a wise decision. Buying a Home with Cash Has Obvious Advantages Two of the main advantages of buying a house with cash are apparent, but bear mentioning. No mortgage payments: When you pay for your house upfront, you can enjoy more spendable income each month since you will not have to make a mortgage payment. This can provide you with more financial freedom, particularly if you are on a limited income. Save money on interest: Even today when interest rates are extremely low, interest paid on mortgage loans adds up to a large sum of money. If you borrowed $100,000 on a 30-year mortgage at an interest rate of 4.5% and made only the monthly required payments until the house was paid in full, you would end up paying a total of about $82,400 in interest alone. That means you are paying nearly double the asking price of your house! Buying with cash saves you this additional cost."

Federal regulators proposed banning the home visits earlier this year, citing “little evidence” they led to any treatment. But officials backed down in the face of fierce industry opposition. The home visits are part of a thriving data analysis industry that is helping Medicare Advantage plans maximize revenues as federal officials struggle to control costs. As Medicare Advantage enrollment grows, the industry is amassing political clout in Congress that is muting criticism the health plans overcharge the government by billions of dollars every year. In-Home Health Assessments: Medicare Advantage plans tout these free “house calls” as a major health benefit. But the visits also can be profitable for the health plans when they uncover new diseases that raise a patient’s risk score— even if the health plan provides no added treatment.

Although both are good options worth considering, the answer isn’t always as straightforward as one might think. Also, it’s crucial for you to understand that you may not even need to pick one or the other. If you’re able to contribute to a work-sponsored 401 (k), there is no reason you can’t also contribute to a Roth IRA, provided you meet certain conditions. As a side note, if you’re looking to get a Roth IRA, The Simple Dollar recommends Scottrade as a good choice due to best-in-class customer service and support. Start Tax-Free Money Growth Now Before we delve deeper into this debate, let’s first make sure we have a working understanding of each of these options for retirement and what they entail. What Is a 401 (k)? A 401 (k) is an employer-sponsored deferred contribution retirement plan, so named because it’s defined under section 401 (k) of the IRS code.

With its popularity a number of roulette myths have grown up and players who believe them cut their chances of success dramatically. Here are the most common ones: Roulette Myth 1: All Roulette Wheels Are the Same The first roulette myth is that all roulette wheels are the same - they are not. For example, you have the European and American wheels to choose from and the European is the best one to play, as your odds of success are better. Why? Quite simply, you have 37 slots rather than 38; this means the house advantage is just 2.70% on European wheels, whereas it is 5.25% on American wheels on all bets. So it's obvious, get the odds in your favour from the start and play European roulette wheels only. Roulette Myth 2: Each spin of the roulette wheel is not random The second and perhaps the most common of the roulette myths is: The history of previous spins has an affect on the outcome of the next spin. For example, if the ball falls on red 10 times in a row players feel that black has a higher chance of coming up next - this is not true."

Asked on 17 January 2010Star Trading System Training Course Find Out How My Students Make Money Consistently Through Options Trading In The US Market Even During An Economic Downturn!Answered by Mr. Oppi E Hi Mark, When an option is in the money during expiration, it will be automatically exercised as regulated by the Options Clearing Corporation or OCC. So, your question is, is there any advantages to allowing options to expire when they are in the money? In order to answer this question, lets explore what exactly happens when an option becomes automatically exercised. When an option is exercised, the option cease to exist along with any extrinsic value (of course there won't be any extrinsic value left by the time an option is automatically exercised upon expiration) and then you get the equivalent number of shares in the stock in your account (for call options) or short the equivalent number of shares of the stock (for put options). If you do not allow an in the money option to expire but sell it on or the day before expiration, you will make whatever profit you have made so far and would have recovered whatever extrinsic value is left in the option. In both cases, commissions involved are the same for most online options brokers. Yes, most brokers charge the same commission for exercise (automatic or voluntary) or sale. As such, it would be clear that the advantage of letting in the money options expire would be if you would want to continue being invested in the position directly by holding the stock position instead and the disadvantage being that you would actually lose the remaining extrinsic value on those options, if any."

The non-financial aspects include lifestyle choices such as how to spend time in retirement, where to live, when to completely quit working, etc. A holistic approach to retirement planning considers all these areas. The emphasis one puts on retirement planning changes throughout different life stages. Early in a person's working life, retirement planning is about setting aside enough money for retirement. During the middle of your career, it might also include setting specific income or asset targets and taking the steps to achieve them.

Mr. Whitehouse is Chief Fiduciary Officer at The Bogdahn Group of Orlando, FL. He can be reached at 407.246.7221 or herbw AT bogdahnconsulting.com. This article will review several advantages to the Roth 401k, including the fact that a $15,000 Roth contribution can have the same tax sheltering power as a much higher contribution made through a traditional 401k!Congress limits both the Roth and the traditional 401k contribution to $15,000. At a $15,000 contribution level, the Roth provides a 1/3 higher tax shelter value for an employee who is taxed at a 33.33% rate both today and at the time of a future distribution from the 401k. The Roth is even more valuable if there is a risk of higher taxes on distributions. Some, but often not all, of this advantage may be lost for the individual whose marginal tax rate will be lower when his or her monies are distributed from the plan. Commentators have suggested that many plan sponsors will not add a Roth option to their 401k plan because their retirees will be taxed at a lower rate in retirement than during employment. We suggest that this comment misses several core advantages to the Roth option."

It does not matter what your credit score is, the loan is based on the value of your vehicle. If the value of your vehicle is equal or greater than the amount of money you are requesting in your loan, then you will have no problems being approved. The lender will inspect your vehicle and determine the worth. Most auto title loan stores will have information on the Internet as to what you need to have with you when you visit one of their locations. When you can bring all the documentation required of you, you can have your loan in hand in as little as twenty minutes.

All you will need for this process is computer access, a telephone, and the steps provided below. Step 1- Research Your Options It is important to first speak with the company you have your IRA through to inquire about the guidelines regarding borrowing from your account. Most IRA or retirement accounts will charge interest to the money you borrow. After assessing this interest rate, you will be able to research other loan options to see if lower rates are available to you. It is also suggested you inquire about the length of time for the loan, what your payment plan will be, how many loans may be taken from this account over the life of the account, and whether your payments will be deducted from your pay check or come as a monthly statement. Keep in mind that after you have borrowed this money, it will affect the rate at which your retirement grows until the loan has been paid in full. Step 2- Look at the Advantages Typically, taking a loan from your IRA is more advantageous than withdrawing from your account because you will not be subject to the same costly penalties since you are borrowing from yourself."

After all, the stock market is unpredictable and stocks sometime lose money. However, stocks have many advantages over other investments. These benefits combine to make stocks a valuable part of a balanced portfolio. High Return Stocks are risky assets. This means they don't have a guaranteed return and sometimes lose money. However, the long-run trend of the stock market has been undeniably upward. Stocks have the highest return of any investment asset over the long term.

"text": "\"The Advantages and Disadvantages of Tax Refund Anticipation Loansby Peter J. Rawson662SHARESShare Tweet Tax refund anticipation loans provide a way of gaining access to the funds due from a tax refund faster than if you were to wait for the IRS to process the refund. In essence, they are short-term loans against the anticipated income from a tax refund. Whatever this type of loan will be suitable for you or not, will depend on your personal circumstances. While a tax refund anticipation loan will unduly give you the virtual instant access to the money that you are owed by the government, there are also some disadvantages that you should bear in mind too. The advantages The main advantage of a refund loan is that you will have the funds that you expect to receive from your tax refund available to spend earlier. This type of short-term loan is usually processed very quickly and you could have your money in your checking account within just a few days. That can be especially beneficial if you have urgent bills to pay and you can not wait for the refund to come through the usual channels. The disadvantages The main disadvantage of these types of loans is that you will be charged interest and fees, which can be quite high, and that will reduce the amount of money that you receive from your refund. It is important when you apply for this type of short-term loan that you are fully aware that it is a loan, it is not, as some advertisements would lead you to believe, a means of getting your tax refund processed faster. Another potential disadvantage that consumers need to be aware with this type of loan is that, if the tax refund is delayed or the IRS refuses the refund, the loan will still be outstanding and it will still need to be repaid."

Osteopathic medicine provides all of the benefits of modern medicine including prescription drugs, surgery, and the use of technology to diagnose disease and evaluate injury. It also offers the added benefit of hands-on diagnosis and treatment through a system of treatment known as osteopathic manipulative medicine.

According to a report by the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC), by 2025, the gap between our physician supply and demand will range from 34,500 to 88,000. Colleges of osteopathic medicine are graduating more and more students each year. More than 5,400 new osteopathic physicians enter the workforce each year. The nation’s approximately 108,000 fully-licensed active and practicing osteopathic physicians practice the entire scope of modern medicine, bringing a patient-centered, holistic, hands-on approach to diagnosing and treating illness and injury. Today, more than 20 percent of medical students in the United States are training to be osteopathic physicians. Osteopathic physicians can choose any specialty, prescribe drugs, perform surgeries, and practice medicine anywhere in the United States."

"text": "\"A question many medical school applicants ask themselves—or are asked by premedical advisers—is whether to apply to allopathic (M. D.) or osteopathic (D. O.) schools, or to both. The few premeds who are even aware of D. O. schools may struggle when they try to tailor their applications to the two different types of curricula and career paths. To help decide which degree program to pursue, applicants should ask themselves two questions:1. What are the main differences between M. D.'s and D. O.'s? Allopathic and osteopathic schools both teach the same basic science curricula necessary to becoming a fully qualified doctor, but they have two very different approaches and different admissions statistics. [ Read four tips for selecting a medical school . ] When most people think of medical school, they tend to think of allopathic schools. When we hear \"\"Dr. John Doe,\"\" for example, we usually assume Doe to be an M. D.

Their medical school training includes a variety of things more like chiropractic care (spinal manipulation) as well as all the basic anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and pathology that MD medical students get. The label \"\"allopathic\"\" that people put on MD medical schools and practice is really to differentiate it from \"\"homeopathic,\"\" not to differentiate it from \"\"osteopathic\"\" training. This is terminology that dates back about a hundred years or more to when science was first really entering into the field of medicine. Today, the only people who use this terminology are really interested in the topic of \"\"alternative medicine\"\" and who want to use some sort of label to differentiate what they do (which may or many not include the practice of homeopathy) from conventional \"\"allopathic\"\" medicine. In general, the medical community does not describe itself as the \"\"allopathic medical community.\"\" If you want to learn more about this, contact me directly, because it's off the topic you asked about.

"text": "\"Fewer than 50 percent of medical school applicants to traditional allopathic medical schools are accepted, which leaves many applicants wondering about their other options. These include osteopathic or off-shore medical schools. For many applicants who do not want to consider leaving the U. S. to attend medical school, enrolling in an osteopathic medical school is the only realistic way to practice medicine. And with the number of osteopathic medical schools in the U. S. increasing, this has become a very attractive option.1. W hat is the difference between an allopathic and osteopathic medical education? The most obvious difference between allopathic and osteopathic schools is that graduates of allopathic medical schools earn a medical doctor degree – an M. D. – whereas osteopathic graduates earn a doctor of osteopathic medicine degree – a D. O. So, simply looking at the initials next to a doctor’s name will tell you what type of medical school he or she attended. [ Get more information on the differences between an M. D. and a D. O. ]The other significant way in which osteopathic and allopathic medical educations differ is that osteopathic medical students learn osteopathic manipulative medicine of the spine, bones and muscles as an adjunct to diagnosing and treating patients. Students spend about 200 hours of their osteopathic medical educations learning about OMM. In addition, osteopathic education in theory puts a greater emphasis on the importance of holistic care, which highlights the value of getting to know patients as people and carefully considering the value of preventive care and patient education. In my experience, however, allopathic medical schools espouse similar ideals.2."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Gait analysis laboratory equipped with infrared cameras and floor mounted force platforms Gait analysis is the systematic study of animal locomotion, more specifically the study of human motion, using the eye and the brain of observers, augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements, body mechanics, and the activity of the muscles. [ 1] Gait analysis is used to assess and treat individuals with conditions affecting their ability to walk. [ 2] It is also commonly used in sports biomechanics to help athletes run more efficiently and to identify posture-related or movement-related problems in people with injuries. The study encompasses quantification (i.e. introduction and analysis of measurable parameters of gaits ), as well as interpretation, i.e. drawing various conclusions about the animal (health, age, size, weight, speed etc.) from its gait pattern.

In the 1890s, the German anatomist Christian Wilhelm Braune and Otto Fischer published a series of papers on the biomechanics of human gait under loaded and unloaded conditions. [ 4]With the development of photography and cinematography, it became possible to capture image sequences that reveal details of human and animal locomotion that were not noticeable by watching the movement with the naked eye. Eadweard Muybridge and Étienne-Jules Marey were pioneers of these developments in the early 1900s. For example, serial photography first revealed the detailed sequence of the horse \"\" gallop \"\", which was usually misrepresented in paintings made prior to this discovery."

Fogoros, MDUpdated May 09, 2017Share Pin Email Print Sam Edwards/Caiaimage/Getty Images Should you see an osteopathic physician in general? What about for your thyroid care? It's important to first understand what an osteopathic physician does, and the focus of this type of medicine, and how it compares to an allopathic medical school. Understanding the Training to be an Osteopathic Physician An osteopathic physician is a licensed medical practitioner who was trained in the field of \"\"osteopathic medicine.\"\" A \"\" Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine \"\" has the initials \"\"DO\"\" after his or her name. Like an \"\"MD\"\", an osteopathic physician is a fully trained and licensed physician. DOs and MDs are considered equal, legally, and in terms of their authority to diagnose and treat various health conditions, prescribe medications, and perform surgery. The difference between an MD and a DO is in the approach and focus of the medical education they receive. Both DOs and MDs need an undergraduate degree, plus at least four years of medical school. Osteopathic medical school emphasizes the whole person, and the connection between the musculoskeletal system and disease and symptoms."

"text": "Home » Medicine › Additional Resources and Information › Two Kinds of Physicians Two Kinds of Physicians: Allopathic and Osteopathic There are two kinds of practicing physicians in the United States: allopathic physicians (MD's) and osteopathic physicians (DO's). Both are fully licensed physicians, trained in diagnosing and treating illnesses and disorders, and in providing preventive care. Osteopathic medicine began as a nineteenth century health reform movement that emphasized preventive care and allowing the body to heal without overuse of medications. In the post-Civil War period in the United States many popular medicines were being used that were toxic. An MD named A. T. Still was concerned about overuse of these medications, and founded a new school of medicine that emphasized preventive care and the integration of the body's systems. While many of the osteopathic schools still emphasize these principles in their training, in many respects M. D.’s and D. O.’s practice medicine in identical ways today. Like allopathic physicians, osteopathic physicians prescribe medication, perform surgery, and practice in specialty areas. However, osteopathic physicians are trained in some special areas in which allopathic physicians do not receive training. Students at osteopathic medical colleges receive training in Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) that MD's do not receive. OMT involves using the hands to diagnose and treat illness or injury (for more information on OMT please consult this website )."

It does not matter what letters are after your name. All your patient cares about is if you care about them. Definition MD’s practice allopathic medicine, the classical form of medicine, focused on the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. DO’s practice osteopathic medicine which is centered around a more holistic view of medicine in which the focus is on seeing the patient as a “whole person” to reach a diagnosis, rather than treating the symptoms alone. The belief is that all parts of the body work together and influence each other. Osteopathic medicine also places emphasis on the prevention of disease. In medical school, there is specific training on osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), a hands-on approach to diagnosis and treatment as well as disease prevention. There are approximately 800,000 practicing physicians in the United States today; roughly 50,000 of whom are DO’s, while MD’s make up the remaining 750,000."

O. ), there are several requirements that must be met. Assuming you have graduated from high school, you'll need to attend a college/university and take the prerequisite classes necessary to get into medical school. You can usually find out what classes are required by going to the medical school's admissions website. Usually these classes are part of a four-year program to earn a Bachelor's degree. In addition to completing these classes, you will need to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and score competitively (think 30+) and apply to medical schools. Once you have been accepted by an osteopathic medical school that offers the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree to its graduates, you must finish four years of medical school and pass your licensure examinations.

"text": "Developing computer programs, especially ones as large and complex as operating systems or corporate data systems, is a difficult job. There are many opportunities for developers to make mistakes, create unintentional complexity, or simply lose their way. Pseudocode is an incredibly useful tool in the developer's toolbox, helping her avoid many of the pitfalls that plague such a complex undertaking. Video of the Day Using pseudo code early in the development phase can minimize coding problems later. Simple Pseudocode is plain text and therefore easy to understand. Because it does not require the rigid structures and syntax of a programming language, it does not require a special editing environment. Pseudocode can also be understood by non-programmers, allowing developers to bring experts with no computer knowledge into the creative loop, benefiting from their input and allowing the developer to create software that is even more useful for their clients. Language-Independent Because pseudocode is not itself an actual programming language, it can be used with almost any available programming language. This is a great boon to developers, who often have the ability to use a variety of languages. Some languages are better suited for solving certain types of programming problems, but the precise nature of the problem may not be clear in the initial development stages."

It has been a standard part of the national primary-school mathematics curriculum in England and Wales since the late 1990s. [ 1]Both factors are broken up (\"\"partitioned\"\") into their hundreds, tens and units parts, and the products of the parts are then calculated explicitly in a relatively simple multiplication-only stage, before these contributions are then totalled to give the final answer in a separate addition stage. The calculation 34 × 13, for example, could be computed using the grid:300 40 90 + 12 ———— 442× 30 410 300 403 90 12followed by addition to obtain 442, either in a single sum (see right), or through forming the row-by-row totals (300 + 40) + (90 + 12) = 340 + 102 = 442. This calculation approach (though not necessarily with the explicit grid arrangement) is also known as the partial products algorithm. Its essence is the calculation of the simple multiplications separately, with all addition being left to the final gathering-up stage. The grid method can in principle be applied to factors of any size, although the number of sub-products becomes cumbersome as the number of digits increases."

Instead, each element points to the next. It is a data structure consisting of a group of nodes which together represent a sequence. Under the simplest form, each node is composed of data and a reference (in other words, a link) to the next node in the sequence. This structure allows for efficient insertion or removal of elements from any position in the sequence during iteration. More complex variants add additional links, allowing efficient insertion or removal from arbitrary element references. A drawback of linked lists is that access time is linear (and difficult to pipeline ). Faster access, such as random access, is not feasible."

"text": "\"Primality test From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A primality test is an algorithm for determining whether an input number is prime. Among other fields of mathematics, it is used for cryptography. Unlike integer factorization, primality tests do not generally give prime factors, only stating whether the input number is prime or not. Factorization is thought to be a computationally difficult problem, whereas primality testing is comparatively easy (its running time is polynomial in the size of the input).

"text": "\"Pseudocode Examples An algorithm is a procedure for solving a problem in terms of the actions to be executed and the order in which those actions are to be executed. An algorithm is merely the sequence of steps taken to solve a problem. The steps are normally \"\"sequence,\"\" \"\"selection, \"\" \"\"iteration,\"\" and a case-type statement. In C, \"\"sequence statements\"\" are imperatives. The \"\"selection\"\" is the \"\"if then else\"\" statement, and the iteration is satisfied by a number of statements, such as the \"\"while,\"\" \"\" do,\"\" and the \"\"for,\"\" while the case-type statement is satisfied by the \"\"switch\"\" statement. Pseudocode is an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms. Pseudocode is a \"\"text-based\"\" detail (algorithmic) design tool. The rules of Pseudocode are reasonably straightforward. All statements showing \"\"dependency\"\" are to be indented. These include while, do, for, if, switch."

"text": "Pseudocode Definition - What does Pseudocodemean? Pseudocode is an informal program description that does not contain code syntax or underlying technology considerations. Pseudocode summarizes a program’s steps (or flow) but excludes underlying details. Techopedia explains Pseudocode To be pseudo is to be fake. In other words, something that is pseudo is pretending that to be something it's not. Given this, the term pseudocode makes sense – it isn't code, but it is the starting point to what the code should look like. System designers write pseudocode to ensure that programmers understand a software project's requirements and align code accordingly. It can be anything from a few scribbles on a piece of paper, to detailed designs using a modeling language."

"text": "\"The While Loop The while loop is used to repeat a section of code an unknown number of times until a specific condition is met. For example, say we want to know how many times a given number can be divided by 2 before it is less than or equal to 1. If we know a specific number, such as 32, we can say 5 times, but for a given symbolic variable \"\"NUMBER\"\" which represents any number in the world, how many times is not known a priori (before hand). In this case, we could use a while loop to determine that answer: The \"\"pseudocode\"\" for such an algorithm is: while the number is bigger than one keep dividing it by two. additionally, keep a count of how many times we do the division. Pseudocode Matlab C, C++, or Java Actionscriptget our number set our initial count to 0while our number is greater than 1 divide the number by 2 increase our count by 1end Why While Loops? Like all loops, \"\"while loops\"\" execute blocks of code over and over again. The advantage to a while loop is that it will go (repeat) as often as necessary to accomplish its goal. Generic Syntax:while ( condition is true ) do something % Note: the \"\"something\"\" should eventually result% in the condition being falseend Infinite loops: If the action inside the loop does not modify the variables being tested in the loops condition, the loop will \"\"run\"\" forever. For example:while ( y < 10 ) x = x + 1 ; endwhile ( true ) printf ( 'hello' ); end Example 1: How to assure proper input Ask the user to input a value.while the input is incorrect.ask the user to input another value.go back to line 2 (the while)Matlab C% MATLAB%% Using a while loop to ask the user to input a number% between 1 and 10 (inclusive).%% Variables:% value : variable to store the input% value = input ( 'Please Enter a Number between 1 and 10 (1-10)' ); while ( value < 1 || value > 10 ) fprintf ( 'Incorrect input, please try again.\\n' ); value = input ( 'Enter a Number between 1 and 10 (1-10)' ); end % while Design Pattern: A design pattern is the syntax that you have to memorize in order to do well in programming and on tests."

Selection sort is noted for its simplicity, and it has performance advantages over more complicated algorithms in certain situations, particularly where auxiliary memory is limited.

Initially, the sorted sublist is empty and the unsorted sublist is the entire input list. The algorithm proceeds by finding the smallest (or largest, depending on sorting order) element in the unsorted sublist, exchanging (swapping) it with the leftmost unsorted element (putting it in sorted order), and moving the sublist boundaries one element to the right.

It provides bonuses for workers who perform their jobs effectively, according to easily measurable criteria. In the United States, policy makers are divided on whether merit pay should be offered to public school teachers, and other public employees, as is commonly the case in the United Kingdom.

These theories are based in the belief that people are rational and react to incentives and that you can increase performance with the correct catalyst. One example of a system that uses merit-pay is the Teacher Advancement Program (TAP) created by the Milken Family Foundation in 1999. TAP is currently in place in more than 180 schools all across the United States. In this program, salary raises are based on some aspects of teacher performance, measured by a combination of observations and student test scores. TAP teachers can advance their career in three ways: (1) remain in the classroom and become a mentor to others, (2) leave the classroom and become a master teacher, or (3) advance to administration through traditional means. This program is focused on helping teachers improve performance by learning from others."

Informally the role of teacher may be taken on by anyone (e.g. when showing a colleague how to perform a specific task). In some countries, teaching young people of school age may be carried out in an informal setting, such as within the family, (homeschooling) rather than in a formal setting such as a school or college. Some other professions may involve a significant amount of teaching (e.g. youth worker, pastor). In most countries, formal teaching is usually carried out by paid professional teachers. This article focuses on those who are employed, as their main role, to teach others in a formal education context, such as at a school or other place of initial formal education or training.==Duties and functions==A teacher's role may vary among cultures. Teachers may provide instruction in literacy and numeracy, craftsmanship or vocational training, the arts, religion, civics, community roles, or life skills. Formal teaching tasks include preparing lessons according to agreed curricula, giving lessons, and assessing pupil progress. A teacher's professional duties may extend beyond formal teaching. Outside of the classroom teachers may accompany students on field trips, supervise study halls, help with the organization of school functions, and serve as supervisors for extracurricular activities."

The authors, Lewis Solmon and Michael Podgursky, developed a list of 15 common arguments against merit pay or performance-based compensation for educators. They then asked 50 educators who had been awarded a Milken Educators Award to comment on those statements and they specifically asked for negative statements.

The average cost, including living expenses, of a graduate program at a public university is about $30,000 per year with private colleges costing about 30 percent more. With these statistics in mind, it is not surprising that the majority of graduate students need to apply for financial aid in order to pay for their tuition. The best advice you can get about paying for graduate school to earn your masters degree or Ph. D. is to search for free money. In fact, 40 percent of all graduate students get free money in the form of scholarships, grants, fellowships and assistantships. The only catch is, you must follow through by attending school, performing your research, and maintaining an acceptable GPA. Two words: Tax benefits."

"text": "Share: How much do Pa. teachers make? A lot, relatively speaking. The average starting salary for a teacher in Pennsylvania as of the 2012-2013 school year was $41,901. Nationally, that number puts the state ninth for highest starting teacher pay, behind Alaska, California, Connecticut, Washington, D. C., Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Wyoming. The average starting teacher salary for the country that year was $36,141. But that’s only the starting salary, which can be an unreliable indicator of the overall pay structure in a school system. How high salaries go — and how quickly they climb — is subject to a number of factors discussed below. First, some context. How did Pa. get into the Top 10? Teachers in southern and western states tend to make less than teachers in the Northeast and Midwest."

Unfortunately, many prospective students are discouraged from earning a degree due to the financial sacrifices that have to be made. Today, the average cost of college exceeds $7,000 per year. That is a huge chunk of change for any one person to be responsible for paying. What everyone should know, however, is that paying for school is not an impossible feat.

"text": "Of all the things schools can give students to help them succeed, effective teachers are the best bet. In education research, having an effective teacher consistently rises to the top as the most important factor in learning—more so than student ethnicity or family income, school attended, or class size (Center for Public Education 2005). We know this because we can see the effects of good teachers from data tools like Tennessee’s value-added scores. When an effective teacher is in the classroom, scores rise and the positive impact can be dramatic, especially for poor and minority children. Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly what it is that makes a teacher effective. Any single indicator of teacher quality—for instance, something like years of experience—rarely yields a strong correlation with improved student achievement. And, by any characteristic we can measure, teacher quality has not been equitably distributed across the nation’s schools. Schools that serve large proportions of low-income and/or minority students tend to have trouble attracting and keeping good teachers—a situation that seriously hampers their efforts to narrow achievement gaps. In 2001, Congress, for the first time, took aim at teacher quality and sought to raise it, particularly in schools serving low-income students. Through its “highly qualified teacher (HQT)” provisions, the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) required all teachers to have at least a bachelor’s degree, to have full state certification, and to demonstrate knowledge of the subject matter they teach."

"text": "The concept of merit is in very common use these days. It is central to the way we think of excellence in education and also to much of the debate on the issue of reservations. Most people, however, treat the concept of merit in too simple a manner: a students who tops a given exam is said to have merit and the others do not. Sociologists of education, however, think quite differently about it. Things are not as simple as they seem. To begin with, it is now quite well accepted by social scientists that all humans are born equal. If you leave aside a very few extreme cases, most people are born with an equal capacity to achieve very high levels of excellence. If people are given lots of encouragement, set high goals to aspire to, and given enough resources, most people can do very well indeed. The basic problem then is that of why all are born equal, but become unequal in later life. If all are born equal (more or less) then why is it that only some students get admission into an IIT every year?"

For most of the century since that time, lawyers, judges, law professors, and other court reformers have wrestled with the problem of how to select judges in a way that remains consistent with American democratic traditions and still obeys the popular will. Currently, there are six methods of selecting judges, each variations on three basic models: appointment, election, and a third idea--\"\"merit selection\"\" that has been the major \"\"reform\"\" alternative of this century. First conceived in 1913, but not adopted in any form by a U. S. state until Missouri voted for it in 1940, merit selection, one observer remarked, \"\"did not immediately sweep the country.\"\" This is an understatement: The next state to follow Missouri was Alaska in 1956, and this was after New Mexico only mustered 37.1% of its voters in a failed bid to adopt the reform. Over the next several decades, at least ten different states failed to get more than 50% of its voters to support \"\"merit selection\"\" when it appeared on the ballot. What are the merits of merit selection? What can be learned from one states' attempt--Texas'--to try to reform its manner of judicial selection? If the nineteenth century saw the undoing of the Founding Fathers' vision of an appointed judiciary, and the twentieth century has been dominated by debate over the merit selection reform, what will be the shape or nature of reform in the new millenium?"

Project Labor Agreements: Not What We Need, Not What We Deserve Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:15A PLA is a multi-employer, multi-union, pre-hire collective bargaining agreement that PLA proponents market to public and private construction owners as a tool to systemize labor relations between multiple construction trade unions and contractors on a specific construction site. A PLA is a contract, so it can say just about anything, although PLAs contain common provisions that are typical in most agreements. An overwhelming body of evidence suggests that PLAs have the practical effect, if not the stated purpose, of eliminating competition from merit shop contractors and their employees — qualified and skilled craft professionals — who compose 86.8 percent of the 2012 U. S. private construction workforce (updated Jan. 2013). If you want to read an actual PLA, please review a sample PLA from Juneau, Alaska from the City and Borough of Juneau’s Consolidated Public Works Facility, Phase II – E09-107. The Truth About PLAs.com will use language from this PLA as a point of reference to document standard provisions in PLAs that are designed to discourage competition from merit shop contractors. PLAs are typically negotiated exclusively by construction unions and a project owner or agent of the owner (public officials often blindly agree to a PLA without reviewing the final contract), yet the agreement is actually between contractors (and their subcontractors) and labor unions. Part 1 Section 1.1. A – It shall be understood that the PLA is an exclusive agreement between the eventual Contractor (and Subcontractors) and the organized labor unions."

( Amanda Voisard/The Washington Post)By Emma Brown August 19, 2013 Email the author Teachers in the District’s traditional public schools earn more than their counterparts at nearly every D. C. charter school, according to a Washington Post review of teacher salaries across the city, with many city teachers earning salaries that are thousands of dollars higher. School officials say high pay is a key part of the city’s strategy for attracting talented people to teach in some of the nation’s most challenging schools. For charters, however, it creates an additional challenge. Unable to match the school system’s salaries, many charters instead rely on other factors to recruit and retain candidates, including small class sizes, professional development opportunities and strongly defined missions and cultures. The wide variation of school environments and pay scales shows how the District has become a closely watched experiment in its use of charters and school choice, not just for parents seeking the right education for their children, but also for teachers seeking work. Charters now enroll more than 40 percent of the city’s public school students, and they are growing. The pay difference is largely the result of a landmark 2010 union contract, in which traditional public school teachers gave up longstanding job protections in return for 20 percent raises over five years, plus merit bonuses. Although that contract pushed many charters to increase wages, almost every charter’s minimum, average and maximum salaries lag behind traditional schools. “Teaching is one of the hardest jobs — period, the end,” Chancellor Kaya Henderson said. “"

Nearly two years afterward, the CTU strike remains the outstanding example of resistance to the corporate school reform agenda that aims to turn public education into a marketplace and render teachers' unions powerless. In the wake of the strike, it was inevitable that the leaders of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and National Education Association (NEA) would take a more combative tone at their union conventions this month, speaking more frankly than ever before about the relentless attacks on teacher organizations. But the question remains as to whether top union officials at the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and National Education Association (NEA) will break from a failed--and increasingly disastrous--strategy of making concessions to preserve partnership with increasingly anti-union politicians and school officials. At the July 1-6 convention of the NEA's Representative Assembly, delegates took a left turn, passing a resolution calling for the resignation of Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Newly elected NEA President Lily Eskelsen García spoke to the delegates' mood when she said in an interview with Politico that value-added measures of test scores are \"\"the mark of the devil.\"\" She also said the union would distance itself from the Democratic Party, which has been leading the education reform crusade during Barack Obama's presidency. Then again, the NEA's problems are impossible for the new president to ignore."

Three phase system has the following advantages as compare to single phase system: Power to weight ratio of 3-ø alternator is high as compared to 1-ø alternator. That means for generation for same amount of Electric Power, the size of 3-ø alternator is small as compare to 1-ø alternator. Hence, the overall cost of alternator is reduced for generation of same amount of power. Moreover, due to reduction in weight, transportation and installation of alternator become convenient and less space is required to accommodate the alternator in power houses. For electric power transmission and distribution of same amount of power, the requirement of conductor material is less in 3-ø system as compare to 1-ø system. Hence, the 3-ø transmission and distribution system is economical as compare 1-ø system. Let us consider the power produced by single phase supply and 3-phase supply at unity power factor. Waveform of power produce due 1-phase supply at unity power factor is shown in figure (C), and figure (D) shows the waveform of power produced due to 3-phase supply. From power waveforms shown in figure (C) and (D) above it is clear that in the 3-phase system, the instantaneous power is almost constant over the cycle results in smooth and vibration-free operation of the machine."

Such motors are widely used for pumps, blowers, conveyors and other industrial machinery. An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field. The rotor magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets, reluctance saliency, or DC or AC electrical windings. Less common, AC linear motors operate on similar principles as rotating motors but have their stationary and moving parts arranged in a straight line configuration, producing linear motion instead of rotation.

The induction motor (or asynchronous motor) always relies on a small difference in speed between the stator rotating magnetic field and the rotor shaft speed called slip to induce rotor current in the rotor AC winding. As a result, the induction motor cannot produce torque near synchronous speed where induction (or slip) is irrelevant or ceases to exist. In contrast, the synchronous motor does not rely on slip-induction for operation and uses either permanent magnets, salient poles (having projecting magnetic poles), or an independently excited rotor winding."

In three phase system the total power delivered is stable if the loads are balanced by the power of any one phase or circuit might be negative. So three - phase system is highly desirable mainly for power loads. B) The rating of a given machine enhances with enhance in number of phases. For example the output of a three phase motor is 1.5 times the output of one phase motor of the similar size.c) Single -phase induction motors, have no initial torque and so it is essential to give these motors with an auxiliary means of starting, but in case of three phase motors except synchronous motors there is no requirement of providing an auxiliary means for starting. D) Power factor of single phase motor is lower than that of three phase motor of the similar rating (output & speed).

Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 k V and 35 k V with the use of transformers. [ 1] Primary distribution lines carry this medium voltage power to distribution transformers located near the customer's premises. Distribution transformers again lower the voltage to the utilization voltage used by lighting, industrial equipment or household appliances. Often several customers are supplied from one transformer through secondary distribution lines.

[ 3] Occasionally, a linear alternator or a rotating armature with a stationary magnetic field is used. In principle, any AC electrical generator can be called an alternator, but usually the term refers to small rotating machines driven by automotive and other internal combustion engines. An alternator that uses a permanent magnet for its magnetic field is called a magneto. Alternators in power stations driven by steam turbines are called turbo-alternators. Large 50 or 60 Hz three phase alternators in power plants generate most of the world's electric power, which is distributed by electric power grids. ["

"text": "Parallel Operation of Transformers July 17, 2012 67 Comments Introduction: For supplying a load in excess of the rating of an existing transformer, two or more transformers may be connected in parallel with the existing transformer. The transformers are connected in parallel when load on one of the transformers is more than its capacity. The reliability is increased with parallel operation than to have single larger unit. The cost associated with maintaining the spares is less when two transformers are connected in parallel. It is usually economical to install another transformer in parallel instead of replacing the existing transformer by a single larger unit. The cost of a spare unit in the case of two parallel transformers (of equal rating) is also lower than that of a single large transformer. In addition, it is preferable to have a parallel transformer for the reason of reliability. With this at least half the load can be supplied with one transformer out of service. Condition for Parallel Operation of Transformer: For parallel connection of transformers, primary windings of the Transformers are connected to source bus-bars and secondary windings are connected to the load bus-bars. Various conditions that must be fulfilled for the successful parallel operation of transformers: Same voltage Ratio & Turns Ratio (both primary and secondary Voltage Rating is same)."

Answered Sep 11, 2014 · Author has 1.5k answers and 3m answer views A three-phase induction motor will always rotate in the direction of the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator windings. A single-phase induction motor will rotate in the direction of the magnetic rotation provided by the start winding and capacitor. If there is no rotating magnetic field (single-phase motor with defective start circuit) the motor won't start unless given an initial \"\"kick\"\" by an outside force, then it will spin in that direction. An induction motor produces torque when there is a difference between the speed of the rotating magnetic field and the squirrel cage of the stator. In a three-phase motor, the rotating magnetic field is inherent in the design of the motor, unless one of the input phases is lost. Swap any two phases on a 3-phase motor, and the rotating field reverses in direction. In a single-phase motor, a separate circuit is necessary to produce the rotating field effect. No rotation, no difference in speed between rotor and field, no induction, and thus no torque.13.5k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private. Is this answer still relevant and up to date?"

The current, voltage, and power relations of balanced three-phase AC circuits can be studied by applying the rules that apply to single-phase circuits. The sine waves of three-phase voltage are separated by 120 electrical degree because they are generated by three separate sets of armature coils in an AC generator. These three sets of coils are mounted 120 electrical degrees apart on the generator’s armature. The coil ends could all be brought out of the generator to form three separate single-phase circuits, but they are conventionally interconnected so that only three or four wires are actually brought out of the generator."

For example: If you need a 40 degree temperature rise, and your air handler puts out 2000 CFM, identify the point at which the 40 degree temperture rise line intersects with the 2000 CFM line and you will see that a 25 KW heater is needed to do the job.

Nevertheless, most organizations related to nuclear energy are already positioned for or against the use of nuclear power. On this site we try to make an objective analysis about this question, giving all the relevant information and offering a space for different conclusions. Advantages of nuclear power The generation of electricity through nuclear energy reduces the amount of energy generated from fossil fuels (coal and oil). Less use of fossil fuels means lowering greenhouse gas emissions (CO 2 and others). Currently, fossil fuels are consumed faster than they are produced, so in the next future these resources may be reduced or the price may increase becoming inaccessible for most of the population. Another advantage is the required amount of fuel: less fuel offers more energy. It represents a significant save on raw materials but also in transport, handling and extraction of nuclear fuel. The cost of nuclear fuel (overall uranium) is 20% of the cost of energy generated. The production of electric energy is continuous."

Heat is created when nuclear fuel undergoes nuclear fission. Most nuclear fuels contain heavy fissile elements that are capable of nuclear fission, such as Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239. When the unstable nuclei of these atoms are hit by a slow-moving neutron, they split, creating two daughter nuclei and two or three more neutrons. These neutrons then go on to split more nuclei. This creates a self-sustaining chain reaction that is controlled in a nuclear reactor, or uncontrolled in a nuclear weapon.

"text": "\"Arms Control and Disarmament - The cold war After World War II, as the new weapons technology threatened the very survival of American society and its people, its policymakers continued to pursue traditional objectives. They sought to enhance the nation's (and its allies') security through deterrence, to reduce military expenditures, to influence international public opinion, and to gain domestic partisan political advantage. Politics became more important when arms issues became embroiled in election campaigns. American public opinion during the Cold War reflected an ambiguity regarding arms control and disarmament treaties, especially with the Soviet Union. Opinion polls invariably showed that a majority of Americans favored arms control agreements with the Soviets, but at the same time a majority also said that they expected the communists to cheat if given an opportunity. Many politicians sought to follow the polls: they claimed to favor arms limitations, yet they never hesitated to demonstrate to their constituents that they were \"\"tougher on communists\"\" than their opponents. Thus, as the Cold War lengthened, the politicians' desire to be seen as strong on national defense often resulted in misleading, even derogatory, appraisals of arms limitations. The unstable political-military environment with increasingly accurate nuclear weapons systems capable of obliterating cities, equally worrisome to leaders and to the public, persuaded the United States to engage in talks with the Soviet Union. Each successive administration after 1945 found itself—despite certain individual misgivings—engaged in protracted arms control negotiations. Washington's desire to sustain its influence in the United Nations and to maintain relations with its allies, especially in western Europe, often spurred arms control efforts."

"text": "Nuclear power is energy which is produced with the use of a controlled nuclear reaction. Many nations use nuclear power plants to generate electricity for both civilian and military use, and some nations also utilize this type of energy to run parts of their naval fleets, especially submarines. Some people favor an expansion of nuclear power plants because this form of energy is considered cleaner than fossil fuels such as coal, although they come with a number of problems which must be addressed, including the safe disposal of radioactive waste products. The process of generation nuclear power starts with the mining and processing of uranium and other radioactive elements. These elements are used to feed the reactor of a power plant, generating a reaction known as fission which creates intense heat, turning water in the plant into steam. The steam powers steam turbines, which generate electricity and feed the electricity into the electrical grid. When nuclear energy is used to power something like a submarine, the reactor runs the engines, with the steam directly powering the engines. In both cases, the reactor requires careful supervision, because runaway nuclear reactions must be stopped as quickly as possible to prevent serious problems. Many nuclear power plants have extensive automated systems which help to identify potential trouble spots, and these systems can also re-route power, turn off parts of the plant, and perform other tasks which make the plant safer and cleaner. Ad One of the advantages of nuclear energy is that it does not produce greenhouse gases."

There has been a great deal of media attention on alternatives and how they are going to help clean up the world as well as give us all of the energy we will need. But this is far from the case and alternatives are not even close to taking the burden off fossil fuels. Only two alternatives are viable and have any meaningful contribution to world energy production and they are Hydroelectricity and wind Power. Hydroelectric plants contribute over 20% to total global electricity production, but the majority of usable sites are already developed. Wind power is slowly gaining momentum and the technology is already in place, but it’s not a realistic alternative in the short to medium term. Solar, wave, geothermal, etc.. are very far behind the curve and will take many years and tens of billions of dollars of investment before or if they ever start significantly contributing to energy supplies. But this energy shortfall has to be met somehow and so it looks as if the burden will fall on Nuclear power to do this. Environmentalists are clamouring together expressing what a terrible idea this is, but when it comes to a nation’s energy security they really don’t get a look in. What is nuclear power Nuclear power is basically the production of energy from atomic nuclei by the use of a controlled nuclear reaction."

Why? Mankind is already studying the atom and the subatomic particles because we need to know how the universe was made and how it works in order to find new energy sources and a way to travel very fast in the universe (from one star to another). The answer to all these problems seems to be located in the smallest unity of matter (the atom). The Sun uses the nuclear fusion reaction to transform hydrogen into helium and provide us the so needed light and heat. So, nuclear energy is the future. Advantages: Nuclear energy is a clean energy source in terms of carbon emissions released. Nuclear energy is a reliable source of power because the nuclear reactors used today have a pretty long life (they work for decades). Nuclear energy is a very powerful source of power which is also efficient (nuclear power has the highest energy density known by man). A nuclear power plant generates huge amount of clean electricity in a pretty small space."

"text": "Sustainability Next Generation Nuclear Power New, safer and more economical nuclear reactors could not only satisfy many of our future energy needs but could combat global warming as well By James A. Lake, Ralph G. Bennett, John F. Kotek on January 26, 2009Credit: Roberto Uderio Editor's Note: This article originally appeared in the January 2003 issue of Scientific American. Rising electricity prices and last summer’s rolling blackouts in California have focused fresh attention on nuclear power’s key role in keeping America’s lights on. Today 103 nuclear plants crank out a fifth of the nation’s total electrical output. And despite residual public misgivings over Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, the industry has learned its lessons and established a solid safety record during the past decade. Meanwhile the efficiency and reliability of nuclear plants have climbed to record levels. Now with the ongoing debate about reducing greenhouse gases to avoid the potential onset of global warming, more people are recognizing that nuclear reactors produce electricity without discharging into the air carbon dioxide or pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and smog-causing sulfur compounds. The world demand for energy is projected to rise by about 50 percent by 2030 and to nearly double by 2050. Clearly, the time seems right to reconsider the future of nuclear power. No new nuclear plant has been ordered in the U. S. since 1978, nor has a plant been finished since 1995. Resumption of large-scale nuclear plant construction requires that challenging questions be addressed regarding the achievement of economic viability, improved operating safety, efficient waste management and resource utilization, as well as weapons nonproliferation, all of which are influenced by the design of the nuclear reactor system that is chosen."

Everyone has heard of using solar power to produce electricity, and most people at some point in their lives has seen a solar panel of one form or another. This is unsurprising as they are used in everything from calculators to road construction lights and even some cars are utilizing them these days. However, what most people don’t understand is the fundamentals of ‘How is solar power produced?’ This isn’t surprising, considering that the actual nuts and bolts get into the areas of physics and some fairly advanced technology. We’re going to present the details of how solar energy is produced in a way that the layman can understand. How is solar energy produced? The steps of solar energy production: Energy from the Sun – The source of all solar energy The Photovoltaic Cell – The singular component that captures the sun The Inverter – Converts the generated DC into ACThe Nuclear Furnace of the Sun. The sun is the most important element of solar energy production and is in fact, where it derives its name."

"text": "Nuclear Energy : Advantages of Nuclear Energyby Penna Sparrow What is nuclear energy? Nuclear energy is a powerful source of energy, generated during a nuclear reaction, by change in the nucleus of an atom. The source of nuclear energy is the mass of the nucleus and energy generated during a nuclear reaction is due to conversion of mass into energy (Einstein's Theory) There are two ways to obtain nuclear energy: 1) Nuclear fission and 2)Nuclear fusion. In a nuclear fission reaction, the nucleus of a heavy radioactive element like uranium, plutonium or thorium splits up into smaller nuclei, when bombarded by low energy neutrons. A huge amount of heat is generated in this process, which is used in nuclear power plants to generate electricity. Nuclear fusion reaction involves the combination or fusion of two light elements to form a heavier element and release uncontrollable energy. Thus it cannot be used to generate electricity, unlike fission reaction. Did you know that the sun’s energy is generated by nuclear fusion reaction? The heat and light that we get from Sun, is all due to the continuous reactions going on inside it. We can now imagine how much energy would be released in the nuclear fusion reaction, that it is the source of sun’s energy."

"text": "Nuclear Power: Advantages and Disadvantages ADVANTAGES: Geographical limitations - nuclear power plants don't require a lot of space; they do not need a large plot like a wind farm. But they have to be built near a large body of water for cooling purposes - using the water as a heat sink. They are usually found on the coast so there is no risk to drinking water sources. Nuclear power stations do not contribute to carbon emissions - no CO 2 is given out - it therefore does not contribute to global warming. Nuclear power stations do not produce smoke particles to pollute the atmosphere or emit gases that contibute to acid rain. Nuclear energy is by far the most concentrated form of energy - a lot of energy is produced from a small mass of fuel. This reduces transport costs - (although the fuel is radioactive and therefore each transport that does occur is expensive because of security implications). Nuclear power is reliable. It does not depend on the weather. We can control the output from a nuclear power station to fit our needs."

Understanding the pros and cons of this energy source can help you make a more informed decision about your own energy use. Nuclear Power Source Nuclear energy is used to produce electricity. Heat generated from the splitting of uranium atoms in a process known as fission is used to produce steam. This steam in turn powers turbines, which are used to produce the electricity that supplies the surrounding community. Nuclear power stations are set up in a multiple-step process that has been designed to help contain the energy and many of its negative byproducts. This process alone is the base of several advantages and disadvantages for this energy source.

Fusion power is a form of power generation in which energy is generated by using fusion reactions to produce heat for electricity generation. Fusion reactions fuse two lighter atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy. Devices designed to harness this energy are known as fusion reactors. The fusion reaction normally takes place in a plasma of deuterium and tritium heated to millions of degrees. In stars, gravity contains these fuels. Outside of a star, the most researched way to confine the plasma at these temperatures is to use magnetic fields. The major challenge in realising fusion power is to engineer a system that can confine the plasma long enough at high enough temperature and density. As a source of power, nuclear fusion has several theoretical advantages over fission. These advantages include reduced radioactivity in operation and as waste, ample fuel supplies, and increased safety."

Lack of power could cause economies to cripple. The flourishing power generation industry is considered to be a sign of prosperity for any nation. Learn more about the types of power plants used to generate this energy. Introduction Energy comes in various forms but electrical energy is the most convenient form of energy since it can be transported with ease, generated in a number of different ways, and can be converted into mechanical work or heat energy as and when required. In this article we will learn about a few of the most commonly used methods of generating electrical energy. The Power Plant Power or energy (let me remind you at this juncture that though the words are used in the synonymous sense here, technically they have somewhat differently meanings) is generated in a power plant which is the place where power is generated from a given source. Actually the term “generated” in the previous sentence is a misnomer since energy cannot be created or destroyed but merely changed from one form to the other. More correctly, a power plant can be said to be a place where electrical energy is obtained by converting some other form of energy. The type of energy converted depends on what type of power plant is being considered."

"text": "Dr. Mehmet Oz, MDCardiology (Cardiovascular Disease)Although genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are controversial, they have a few advantages. The following points will help you understand GMOs: Heavily tested: There have been a great number of studies tracking the effects of GMOs on animals. Overwhelmingly, these studies indicate that GMOs are safe to consume. Impact on farming: GMOs allow plants to be modified to grow in environments that would be normally inhospitable. Cheaper food: Easier farming means more food which, in turn, means less expensive food. This is not only beneficial for the average consumer, but it can have global implications. Less expensive food makes it easier to feed hungry populations around the world. Increased nutritional value: GMOs can be modified to have greater nutritional value than the organism would have naturally. For example, scientists, hoping to eliminate the need for post-harvest processing, have genetically modified rice to contain significantly higher amounts of vitamin A. This “golden rice” is not yet legal in most countries, but experts expect it to be within the next few years.

The technique used in this type of crop management has been introduced to ensure farmers and merchants are able to improve crop or food quality in a more efficient way. Some people arrogate that this technology will help those in the agricultural industry decrease the amount of wasted crops and foods. But while there are many benefits of genetically modified foods, there are also potential drawbacks that are present. Here are their advantages and disadvantages: List of Advantages of Genetically Modified Foods1. Insect Resistance Some GMO foods have been modified to make them more resistant to insects and other pests. A report from the University of California in San Diego states that toxic bacteria (yet safe for human use) can be added to crops to make them repel insects. This means the amount of pesticide chemicals used on the plants are reduced, so their exposure to dangerous pesticides are also reduced.2.

[ 7] Similar bacteria have been used to produce clotting factors to treat haemophilia, [8] and human growth hormone to treat various forms of dwarfism. [ 9] [10] These recombinant proteins are much safer than the products they replaced, since the older products were purified from cadavers and could transmit diseases.

Genetic engineering refers to a group of techniques or technologies utilized to alter the original genetic makeup of cells. Scientists use these techniques to move genes to cross species boundaries and create new and novel organisms. The techniques use very advanced manipulations of DNA as well as other biologically vital chemicals, and is being used to produce genetically modified organisms (GMOs) which include plants as well as animals. Genetic engineering is used to produce vaccines, many immune-therapeutic drugs and other useful things like synthetic human insulin. At present, this technology has proven to be very advantageous as it is being applied to plants to create genetically modified foods which not only possess improved resistance to infections and high nutritional values but may also help to reduce the scarcity of food in the world.

Biotech crops will have an essential role in ensuring that there’s enough to eat.by David Rotman December 17, 2013S igns of late blight appear suddenly but predictably in Ireland as soon as the summer weather turns humid, spores of the funguslike plant pathogen wafting across the open green fields and landing on the wet leaves of the potato plants. This year it began to rain in early August. Within several weeks, late blight had attacked a small plot of potatoes in the corner of the neat grid of test plantings at the headquarters of Teagasc, Ireland’s agricultural agency, in Carlow. It’s now more than a month after the potato plants were first struck and still a few weeks before the crop will be harvested. A large country house, housing the operations of Teagasc, overlooks the field trials, and well-dressed Irish and EU bureaucrats hustle in and out. Much of the sprawling building was constructed in the 1800s, during the worst of the famines that were triggered when blight devastated Ireland’s potato harvest. Such famines are far in the past, but the plant disease remains a costly torment to the country’s farmers, requiring them to douse their crops frequently with fungicides. As part of an EU-wide project called Amiga to study the impact of genetically modified (GM) plants, Teagasc researcher Ewen Mullins is testing potatoes that are engineered to resist blight.

Genetic engineering refers to the direct manipulation of an organism’s genes to alter or enhance certain characteristics. The number of?animals used in agriculture has increased significantly in recent years. Researchers have genetically engineered a number of mammals, from laboratory animals to farm animals, as well as birds, fish and insects. The most widely used genetically modified animals are laboratory animals, such as the fruitfly ( Drosophila ) and mice. Genetically engineered animals enable scientists to gain an insight into basic biological processes and the relationships between However, farm animals, such as sheep, goats and cows, can also be genetically modified to enhance specific characteristics. These can include milk production and disease resistance, as well as improving the nutritional value of the products they are farmed for. For example, cows, goats and sheep have been genetically engineered to express specific proteins in their milk. The majority of work on genetically modified farm animals is still in the research phase and is yet to be used commercially. Below are some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with genetically modifying animals for agriculture, divided up into four key areas: Do the benefits of genetically modified farm animals outweigh the risks?"

But if you are like many Americans, you may think you don't know enough about the issue to know whether you agree or disagree with those who pressed for these changes. A May 2000 survey by the International Food Information Council found that only one in five Americans consider themselves informed about foods produced with genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Peter Goldsbrough, a plant scientist and expert in genetically modified crops at Purdue University, has developed nine questions to test your knowledge of genetically modified foods and agricultural biotechnology:1. Have you eaten foods made from genetically modified crops?a. Yes. b. No.2. Which foods use genetically modified organisms in their production to the largest extent?a. Cheese. b. Vegetables."

"text": "Biotech IP briefing: genetically modified Arctic® Apple approved for sale in the United States Blog HRFM Today Heslin Rothenberg Farley & Mesiti PCUSA February 20 2015The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently announced the deregulation of the Arctic® Apple, which is the first genetically modified apple to be approved for production, marketing, and sale in the United States. It also marks just the second time a genetically modified fruit crop has been deregulated by the USDA, with the first being the virus-resistant Hawaiian papaya (‘Rainbow’ and ‘Sun Up’), which was deregulated by the USDA in 1997. Compared to the transgenic papaya, the Arctic® Apple has the potential to have a much larger consumer base and wider geographic market. Therefore, as expected, the Arctic® Apple’s deregulation milestone has prompted immediate and sometimes strong reactions from both advocates and critics of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Even before rendering its decision, the USDA received thousands of public comments on the pros and cons of deregulating the Arctic® Apple. Click here to view image. Regulatory Clearance: In February 2012, Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc. (OSF) of British Columbia, Canada, filed a 163-page petition with the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) seeking nonregulated status of its Arctic® Apple, a genetically altered variety of the cultivated apple, Malus x domestica . The petition noted that OSF was developing Arctic® Apple cultivars that could serve as replacements for several well-known cultivars, particularly where the nonbrowning trait of the Arctic® Apple would provide added value and advantages. According to OSF’s press release reporting the USDA’s approval of the Arctic® Apple, OSF noted that this milestone took nearly two decades from inception to USDA approval. By deregulating the Arctic® Apples, USDA-APHIS concluded that the transgenic apples were unlikely to pose a plant pest risk to agriculture and other plants in the United States, and not likely to have a significant impact on the human environment."

The voters in California will make the final decision this November to label GMOs. Meanwhile customers should be aware of the food products that have already been genetically modified and aren’t properly labeled. Many independent studies and research performed by the concerned scientific community have warned the public about potential GMO harms and dangers. However due to lack of proper labeling, many foods could be genetically modified without your knowledge. Here are the top 20 foods that have been genetically modified:1. Cotton Seeds Almost half of cottons grown in the world have been genetically modified to resist pests and pesticides. GMO BT cotton has had devastating results in Indian agriculture causing suicide of 250,000 Indian farmers in the last decade. Dr. Vandana Shiva in a study shows how GM cotton have lead to Indian farmers suicide and soil infertility by killing useful microorganisms in the soil.

"text": "Introduction to Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism or microorganism whose genetic material has been altered to contain a segment of DNA from another organism. Modern recombinant DNA technology enables the “stitching together” of pieces of DNA, regardless of the source of the pieces. Since the 1980s, this technology has been used extensively in the lab by researchers for countless purposes: to make copies of genes or proteins, to determine gene function, to study gene expression patterns, and to create models for human disease. One application has been to generate food crops that are modified in a way that is advantageous to either the producer or the consumer. Currently the GM crops on the market have bacterial genes introduced into their genomes that encode for pest or herbicide resistance. In theory, this should cut down on the amount of chemicals a farmer needs to spray, but in practice that goal has not been realized as pests and weeds become resistant to the chemicals being used. Image courtesy of Flickr In the US, the most commonly found GM crops are:* Soy * Corn * Cotton * Canola Most scientists agree that GM foods are safe. There is concern among scientists that the vocal resistance of certain individuals to GMOs is due, in part, to a lack of understanding of the technology and the prevalence of misinformation. Man has been “genetically modifying” food crops through selective breeding since we moved from hunting and gathering to agriculture over 10,000 years ago. Modern technology speeds up this process."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Transgenic organism)navigation search A transgene is a gene or genetic material that has been transferred naturally, or by any of a number of genetic engineering techniques from one organism to another. The introduction of a transgene (called \"\" transgenesis \"\") has the potential to change the phenotype of an organism. In its most precise usage, the term transgene describes a segment of DNA containing a gene sequence that has been isolated from one organism and is introduced into a different organism. This non-native segment of DNA may either retain the ability to produce RNA or protein in the transgenic organism or alter the normal function of the transgenic organism's genetic code. In general, the DNA is incorporated into the organism's germ line. For example, in higher vertebrates this can be accomplished by injecting the foreign DNA into the nucleus of a fertilized ovum. This technique is routinely used to introduce human disease genes or other genes of interest into strains of laboratory mice to study the function or pathology involved with that particular gene. The construction of a transgene requires the assembly of a few main parts. The transgene must contain a promoter, which is a regulatory sequence that will determine where and when the transgene is active, an exon, a protein coding sequence (usually derived from the c DNA for the protein of interest), and a stop sequence. These are typically combined in a bacterial plasmid and the coding sequences are typically chosen from transgenes with previously known functions. ["

Share 3K Pin 795 Tweet 33 Stumble 1 Yum 1It is common for people who support (or know little about) genetically modified foods (GMOs) to argue something along the lines of, “What’s the big deal? Humans have been genetically modifying plants for thousands of years. ”Unfortunately, this claim can only be made by someone who either doesn’t understand seed breeding, or who is outright trying to deceive you. Here’s why…Today, seeds are bred in only one of three ways: 1) in an open pollinated environment, 2) through a hybrid cross, and 3) through direct DNA modification in a lab. Let’s look at each, one at a time…What are Open Pollinated Seeds? Open pollinated (OP) seeds are seeds that are produced from cross-pollinating two of the same variety of plant, usually by wind, birds or insects, resulting in plants that are very similar, but naturally varied. Open pollinated seed saving is the oldest of the three methods of producing seed. Gardeners and farmers have been carefully isolating, selecting and replanting open pollinated seed varieties that have beneficial traits (like drought tolerance or good flavor) for as long as we have been doing agriculture. All heirloom seeds are open pollinated, and they can be saved and passed from generation to generation."

The normal potatoes have blight but the cisgenic potatoes are healthy Cisgenesis is a product designation for a category of genetically engineered plants. A variety of classification schemes have been proposed [1] that order genetically modified organisms based on the nature of introduced genotypical changes, rather than the process of genetic engineering. Cisgenesis (from \"\"same\"\" and \"\"beginning\"\") is one term for organisms that have been engineered using a process in which genes are artificially transferred between organisms that could otherwise be conventionally bred. [ 2] [3] Unlike in transgenesis, genes are only transferred between closely related organisms. [ 4] However, while future technologies may allow genomes to be directly edited within an individual organism, currently nucleic acid sequences must be isolated and introduced using the same technologies that are used to produce transgenic organisms. The term was first introduced in 2000 by Henk J. Schouten and Henk Jochemsen, [5] and in 2004 a Ph D thesis by Jan Schaart of Wageningen University in 2004, discussing making strawberries less susceptible to Botrytis cinerea. In Europe, currently, this process is governed by the same laws as transgenesis but researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands feel that this should be changed and regulated in the same way as conventionally bred plants. However, other scientists, writing in Nature Biotechnology, have disagreed. [ 3] In 2012 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a report with their risk assessment of cisgenic and intragenic plants."

First, manufacturers only wanted to use transgenics to be able to grow more soy at a minimal cost to meet this demand, and to fix any problems in the growing process, but they eventually found they could modify the soybean to contain healthier components, or even focus on one aspect of the soybean to produce in larger quantities. These phases became known as the first and second generation of genetically modified (GM) foods.

When Both Spouses Are Eligible for Their Own Retirement Benefits In most couples now reaching retirement age, both husband and wife have earned some Social Security retirement benefits. That means that each one is also entitled to dependents benefits (spousal retirement benefits) based on the other spouse’s work record, as well as survivors benefits based on the work record of the spouse who dies first. At any time after each spouse reaches age 62, he or she can claim retirement benefits. If one claims retirement benefits, his or her spouse (once reaching full retirement age) can claim the spousal retirement benefit only, without claiming his or her own retirement benefit.

That person must have worked long enough under Social Security to qualify for benefits. How Your Spouse Earns Social Security Survivors Benefits A worker can earn up to four credits each year. In 2018, for example, your spouse can earn one credit for each $1,320 of wages or self-employment income. When your spouse has earned $5,280, they have earned their four credits for the year. The number of credits needed to provide benefits for survivors depends on the worker's age when they die. The younger a person is, the fewer credits they must have for family members to receive survivors benefits. But no one needs more than 40 credits (10 years of work) to be eligible for any Social Security benefit. However, benefits can be paid to the worker's children and the surviving spouse who is caring for the children even if the worker doesn't have the required number of credits. They can get benefits if the worker has credit for one and one-half years of work (6 credits) in the three years just before their death."

"text": "Social Security Income Taxes on Social Security Benefitsby Patrick J. Purcell Issue Paper No. 2015-02 (released December 2015)You are here: Social Security Administration > Research, Statistics, & Policy Analysis > Issue Papers Email Save/Print Related Content Benefits Planner: Income Taxes and Your Social Security Benefits Research Summary: Income Taxes on Social Security Benefits Since 1984, Social Security beneficiaries with total income exceeding certain thresholds have been required to pay federal income tax on some of their benefit income. Because those income thresholds have remained unchanged while wages have increased, the proportion of beneficiaries who must pay income tax on their benefits has risen over time. A Social Security Administration microsimulation model projects that an annual average of about 56 percent of beneficiary families will owe federal income tax on part of their benefit income from 2015 through 2050. The median percentage of benefit income owed as income tax by beneficiary families will rise from 1 percent to 5 percent over that period. If Congress does not adjust income tax brackets upward to approximate the historical ratio of taxes to national income, the proportion of benefit income owed as income tax will exceed these projections. Patrick Purcell is with the Office of Retirement Policy, Office of Retirement and Disability Policy, Social Security Administration. Questions about the analysis should be directed to the author at (202) 358-6348. The findings and conclusions presented in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Social Security Administration.

Second, it has four online benefit calculators. Third, you can ask Social Security staff directly — on the phone or in person — for a benefit estimate."

"text": "\"How do I apply for benefits? The most important advice is to access the Social Security website and get their most current official guidance on how to apply:http://www.ssa.gov/retire2/applying8.htm Note that you can apply online, by phone, or in person, and that you should apply for benefits no more than four months before the date you want your benefits to start. Our software calculates the maximized filing strategy for you based on your earnings history and your status as married, single, widowed, disabled, etc. As you apply for those benefits, be sure to use your entitlement month, i.e. the month you start earning Social Security benefits, on your application. These are the same as the filing dates, you enter on the What-If Dates screen. Since Social Security pays benefits one month in arrears, you will receive your check one month after the entitlement month. For example, if our software calculates that you file for retirement benefits in December 2020, you will receive your first retirement benefit check in January 2021. Be careful to start your entitlement neither too early nor too late. Social Security encourages you to apply 3 to 4 months before you want to start your entitlement. So in the above example, if you apply in September 2020, be sure to establish your entitlement month as December 2020."

( See § 720 . ) 407.2 When is the benefit rate less?

See §§ 723 - 725 for an explanation of how the reduced rate is computed;You choose to receive and are paid a reduced widow (er)'s benefit for months before you reach retirement age. A reduced benefit rate is payable for as long as you are entitled to widow (er)'s benefits. For a possible adjustment at age 62 and retirement age, see § 728;Note: Entitlement to this reduced rate may result in a reduction in any disability or retirement insurance benefit to which you may later become entitled."

"text": "Why Social Security Dependent Benefits For A Child Can Make It A Good Deal To Start Early And NOT Delay August 27, 2014 07:01 am 56 Comments CATEGORY: Retirement Planning59Shares A A A59Shares Executive Summary For prospective and current retirees who are concerned that “unexpected” or extreme longevity may lead them to run out of money, there are few strategies more effective than the decision to delay Social Security benefits. The tradeoff – where payments are not received now, in exchange for higher payments in the future – is similar to buying an income annuity, or investing in a bond ladder that will begin liquidating in the future… except that the implicit “pricing” of the decision to delay Social Security is far better than any commercial annuity or bond yields available today. The caveat to the approach, however, is that Social Security dependent benefits may also be available for those in their 60s who still have young children in the home – an increasingly common situation, between couples who start a family later and the rising divorce rate that has also led to a greater frequency of second marriages with young children. And the availability of dependent’s benefits can significant diminish the benefit of delaying Social Security; while delaying does increase the individual’s own benefits in the future, along with potential survivor benefits, waiting may also permanently forfeit children’s benefits that won’t be available down the road (as the children may be too old by the time the retiree reaches age 70). In light of this situation, planning for Social Security benefits with “young” children in the home (those under age 18) needs to be done more carefully. In some situations, the children may be so close to 18 that it’s still worthwhile to delay. In other scenarios, the opportunity to file-and-suspend at age 66 – starting both spousal benefits and activating dependent benefits as well – may be the best way to go. But in many situations, the potential dependent and spouse’s benefits are so large – even with the “maximum family benefit” limitations – that the best strategy, even in the long run, is to start benefits as early as possible (especially if the Earnings Test will not apply!). ( Michael’s Note: Some Social Security claiming strategies discussed in this article have been materially impacted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, which has eliminated most forms of the File-and-Suspend strategy. See “ Congress Is Killing The File-And-Suspend And Restricted Application Social Security Strategies ” for further details. )"

"text": "\"google-libphonenumber The up-to-date and reliable Google's libphonenumber package for node.js. Zero dependencies. Status Introduction Google's libphonenumber is a library that parses, formats, stores and validates international phone numbers. It is used by Android since version 4.0 and is a phenomenal repository of carrier metadata. Although it compiles down to Java, C++ and JS, its JS port is tightly coupled to the Google Closure library. This makes it more difficult to directly require and use the code on a node.js project. Google eventually started publishing google-closure-library directly to NPM, ending years of ill-maintained community packages. However, running the original library on node.js remains a cumbersome process. After all these years, Google's libphonenumber is still not officially available on NPM. What is the best way to use Google's libphonenumber on node.js then?"

In most English-speaking countries, it is often written with a comma separating the thousands unit: 1,000. It may also be described as the short thousand in historical discussion of medieval contexts where it might be confused with the Germanic concept of the \"\" long thousand \"\" (1200).

The SI prefix for a thousand is kilo-, with the official symbol k —for instance, prefixed to \"\"metre\"\" or its symbol \"\"m\"\", kilometre or km signifies a thousand metres. As such, people occasionally represent the number in a non-standard notation by replacing the last three zeros of the general numeral with \"\"K\"\": for instance, 30K for 30,000. By the SI writing style, a space can be used as a thousands separator, i.e., to separate the digits of a number at every power of 1 000. The sum of Euler's totient function over the first 57 integers is 1000."

"text": "\"\"\"Where can I find my model number? \"\" Where To Find Model Numbers After prolonged use of a tool, you may need to replace a part. Two important pieces of information you need when looking for a replacement tool part are the tool’s model number and type number. This is important in ensuring an exact part match, which is crucial in the repair of your tool. Every tool manufacturer uses a different model and type number system. Where exactly on the tool those numbers are located depends on the manufacturer. Some model and type numbers are easy to locate while others are difficult. Model and Type Numbers Model numbers distinguish between a manufacturer's tool models within a certain category (like drill/drivers, saws or nailers). For example, two different power sander designs from the same brand would be distinguished with two different model numbers. However, manufacturers often update the design or features of a tool model or create different types of tools with the same model numbers."

Our History Harold Butler and Richard Jezak opened a donut stand in 1953 and called it Danny’s Donuts. Butler’s stated promise was “To serve the best cup of coffee, make the best donuts, give the best service, offer the best value and stay open 24 hours a day.” Today that donut stand is a restaurant chain with a slightly different name, over 1,700 locations and a proven reputation for keeping Mr. Butler’s original promise.1953 1956 1959 1961 1967 1968 1977 1981 1991 1994 2000 2002 2006 2008 20102013 20171953Harold Butler and Richard Jezak open Danny’s Donuts in Lakewood, CA.1956After Jezak’s departure from the now 6-store chain, Butler created and changed the concept a year later from a donut shop to a coffee shop with store #8. Danny’s Donuts is renamed Danny’s Coffee Shops and changes its operation to 24 hours.1959To avoid confusion with LA restaurant, Coffee Dan’s, Butler changes the name from Danny’s Coffee Shops to Denny’s Coffee Shops.1961Denny’s Coffee Shops becomes Denny’s. And the rest is history.1967Denny’s goes international, opening its first restaurant in Acapulco, Mexico.1968Denny’s Stock begins Trading on NYSE under “DEN.”1977The Grand Slam ® is introduced in Atlanta as a nod to homerun slugger, Hank Aaron.1981Big milestone: There are now 1,000 Denny’s across the country.1991Denny’s headquarters moves from Irvine, California to downtown Spartanburg, South Carolina.1994Denny’s becomes the largest corporate sponsor of the national charity Save the Children ®.2000Fortune Magazine ranks Denny’s #1 on the list of “America’s 50 Best Companies for Minorities."

"text": "\"Pitcairn Island & Pacific Union College Seventh-day Adventist schooner Pitcairn Pitcairn Island, in the South Pacific Ocean some 5,000 miles south of its campus, and Pacific Union College, a co-educational liberal arts institution in California's Napa Valley just north of San Francisco, have a common religious bond, the Seventh-day Adventist faith. A conservative Protestant Christian body of some 10 million members world-wide, the Seventh-day Adventist denomination has, since its founding in 1863, practised the biblical injunction to carry the gospel message \"\"to every nation, kindred, tongue and people.\"\" In harmony with this charge, the church today is active in practically every country of the world. In 1876, J. N. Loughborough and James White, two Seventh-day Adventist clergymen who were living in the Napa Valley, learned the fascinating story of the mutiny on HMS Bounty, and that the mutineers' descendants were living on Pitcairn Island. They determined to see that the Pitcairners learned of their Adventist faith. They prepared a box filled with religious papers, and took it to the San Francisco waterfront where they found Captain David A. Scribner of the ship St. John who agreed to take them to Pitcairn. The Pitcairners read the papers sent by the clergymen, but they made no change from their Church of England faith which they had been practising since the early 1800s. At that time John Adams, the only surviving mutineer, had introduced them to religion through a Bible and a Church of England prayer book taken from the Bounty. In the changed life of John Adams -- from criminal-minded sailor to peace-loving patriarch -- those on Pitcairn found eloquent testimony to the Divine power that changes lives. But, as it must to all, death came to the beloved island leader."

"text": "News Current Articles | RSS Feeds | Search April 13, 2015AMITA Health Chosen as Name for Integrated Health System Serving the West and Northwest Suburbs of Chicago April 13, 2015AMITA HEALTH CHOSEN AS NAME FOR INTEGRATED HEALTH SYSTEM SERVING THE WEST AND NORTHWEST SUBURBS OF CHICAGOName reflects core values of system formed by Adventist Midwest Health, Alexian Brothers Health System (Arlington Heights, Ill., and Hinsdale, Ill.) – The board of the Joint Operating Company (JOC) formed by Adventist Midwest Health and Alexian Brothers Health System (ABHS) has chosen the name AMITA Health for its newly integrated health system, the third-largest health system in Illinois. AMITA Health encompasses nine hospitals and an extensive provider network of more than 3,000 physicians serving the west and northwest suburbs of Chicago. After legal and regulatory approvals, the two entities officially entered into the JOC, effective February 1. The non-binding letter of intent to form the JOC was announced in June 2014 and, after a period of due diligence, the definitive agreement was announced in October 2014. Adventist Midwest Health is part of Adventist Health System in Altamonte Springs, Fla., and Alexian Brothers Health System (ABHS) is part of Ascension, the largest non-profit health system in the U. S. and the world’s largest Catholic health system. “This name marks a new beginning firmly rooted in our faith traditions and our past accomplishments,” said Mark A. Frey, president and CEO of AMITA Health. “ The name is our promise to deliver the most efficient, high-quality, faith-based care. ”The name AMITA is inspired by the meaning it has in several languages: friendship in Italian, honesty and truth in Hebrew and spiritual light and boundlessness in Hindi, reflecting the organization’s core values of friendship, truth and mutual respect for all, as well as its faith-based call to healing. “We wanted an inspirational name because we know our team of dedicated caregivers is driven by a higher calling to help others,” said David L. Crane, AMITA Health’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “ Each day we extend God’s healing touch through mutual respect for all, and we strive to do everything humanly possible to deliver excellent, patient-driven care."

A single conversion factor developed by and specific to Anthem is used for reimbursement purposes. The RBRVS is based on the resources a physician typically uses for each procedure and service, from physical, intellectual and emotional effort to overhead and training. The following components are used in computing a fee for a given service: Physician work Practice expense, including office rent, non-physician salaries, capital equipment costs and supplies Professional liability (malpractice) expense, including the cost of professional liability insurance The RBRVS method doesn’t set unit values for anesthesiology and clinical laboratory procedures. In these instances, Anthem uses the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) relative values for anesthesiology and modified Medicare fees for clinical lab. Throughout this Manual, Anthem’s method of reimbursement will be referred to as the current Anthem fee schedule, which is a combination of the modified RBRVS values, the services not evaluated by RBRVS and the Anthem conversion factor. Back to top Hold Harmless Providers contracted with Anthem agree that in no event, including, but not limited to, non-payment by Anthem, Anthem insolvency or breach of the Provider Agreement, will the Provider bill, charge or collect a deposit from; seek compensation, remuneration or reimbursement from; or have any recourse against Anthem members or persons other than Anthem, acting on its own behalf, for services provided pursuant to the Provider Agreement. This provision will not prohibit collection of coinsurance, copayments or deductibles in accordance with the terms of the applicable member certificate or collection of payment for non-covered services, except as otherwise expressly prohibited by the Provider Agreement. Providers contracted with Anthem agree that 1) this provision will survive the termination of the Provider Agreement regardless of the cause giving rise to termination and shall be construed to be for the benefit of the member, and 2) this provision supersedes any oral or written contrary agreement now existing or hereafter entered into between a Provider and any member or person acting on his or her own behalf.

"text": "Are There Health Benefits to Being A Vegetarian? The perception of the effects of a vegetarian diet on health has gone through a transformation in the last 20 years. In 1980 the American Dietetic Association (ADA) had serious doubts about whether a vegetarian diet was nutritionally sound [1]. Twenty years later the ADA’s position is that appropriately planned vegetarian diets (including vegan diets) are not only nutritionally adequate but may help prevent certain diseases [2]. Support for the view that vegetarianism reduces the risk of certain diseases comes from a variety of studies. I’ll review some of these to give an idea of what is currently known about the health benefits of being a vegetarian. However, to begin this discussion it is important to define what a vegetarian is. There are many types of vegetarians but the classic definition is a person who does not eat meat (including fowl) or seafood, or products containing these foods [2]. People, however, who limit their consumption of red meat, chicken, or fish sometimes refer to themselves as vegetarians. In studies of vegetarians these individuals are described as ‘semi-vegetarians’ because consumption of these food groups is infrequent or much less than is typically seen in the general population. There are also subgroups of people who meet the classic definition of vegetarian but include certain non-meat but animal-derived categories of food (dairy and egg products). These generally are ovo- (eat egg or egg products), lacto- (eat dairy or dairy products) or ovo-lacto (eat egg and dairy products) vegetarians, and those who do not eat meat but do consume fish are pesco-vegetarians. Vegans are vegetarians who do not eat meat, fish, dairy or eggs."

"text": "Recent False Claims Act Settlements Focus on Stark Violations and Physician Compensation09/28/2015Jeremy D. Kernodle, Taryn Mc Donald In a short three-week period, the U. S. Department of Justice announced three large, multi-million dollar False Claims Act settlements involving Stark Law violations. Each of the three cases alleged that health systems compensated physicians in excess of fair market value, and in excess of collections for services personally performed by those physicians, in order to induce referrals. Although the whistleblowers in each of the cases alleged a broad array of fraud and abuse issues, this summary focuses on those related to physician compensation.1. Columbus Regional Healthcare System (“CRHS”)On September 4, 2015, the Department of Justice announced an up to $35 million settlement with CRHS and a $425,000 settlement with one of its employed physicians to resolve allegations of FCA and Stark Law violations. The whistleblower alleged that CRHS compensated its employed physician in excess of fair market value, and in excess of the revenue received on services he personally performed. The whistleblower argued that the compensation only made sense if CRHS factored in the financial benefit of the physician’s referrals. The whistleblower also attacked the physician’s work relative value unit-based compensation model, arguing it encouraged him to document higher level visits than were necessary and allowed him to increase his compensation by improperly billing for services he did not personally perform. Specifically, the whistleblower alleged that the physician billed for non-physician practitioners that were not properly credentialed (as well as another physician) under his own provider number instead of their own.2. Broward Health (“Broward”)Weeks later, the Department of Justice announced a record-breaking $69.5 million FCA settlement with Broward based on similar allegations. The whistleblower in this case alleged that Broward engaged in a scheme of over-compensating physicians to generate significant losses, which were offset by profits received from those physicians’ referrals."

"text": "Florida Hospital New Smyrna executive at the helm of change Saturday Jul 29, 2017 at 12:56 PM Jul 31, 2017 at 9:49 AMMike Finch II @MIKE_FINCH2NEW SMYRNA BEACH — The last year has been shaped by constant change at Florida Hospital New Smyrna. And more than one year after the Adventist Health System took over the community hospital there’s still more change to come. CEO Ken Mattison, who was installed there to handle the transition, is at the helm of it all. The first year brought Hurricane Matthew, upgrades and renovations — big and small — as patient volumes have increased, he said. And there’s still more work to be done. The News-Journal sat down with Mattison recently to discuss the hospital’s future, health reform and the hospital’s financial outlook. The following are edited exceprts from the interview. When Adventist Health System took over the hospital, there were a number of improvements that were supposed to be made to the hospital. How far along are you in that process? We’ve been eagerly trying to find ways to start improving the look of the organization."

"text": "Cancer Rates of Vegetarians By Jack Norris, RD • Last updated September 2015Contents Introduction EPIC-Oxford: Cancer Mortality Rates (2015)General Cancer Specific Cancers Colorectal Prostate Breast Lung Ovarian Uterine Stomach Pancreatic Brain Oral Upper Digestive Tract Cervical Melanoma Endometrial Kidney Bladder Lymphatic & Hematopoietic Tissue References Introduction This article will address the subject of cancer rates in vegetarians. Very little data exists for vegans. The tables in this article are extracted from all studies that have looked at vegetarians and show the rates of cancer mortality (how many people died from the disease) or incidence (how many people contracted the disease). Each table below looks at a different type of cancer and whether there has been a difference in risk between vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Some things to keep in mind: Because the Meta-Analysis included participants in the Health Food Shoppers, Adventist Health, Heidelberg Vegetarian, and Oxford Vegetarian studies; and the EPIC-Oxford study includes many of the same people as were in the Oxford Vegetarian study, many of these results are not from completely different populations. Although the 2012 paper from Adventist Health Study-2 ( 15) found some statistically significant differences between vegetarians and non-vegetarians for some specific cancers, they included semi- and pesco-vegetarians in the “vegetarian” category and thus are not listed below. Individual cancer categories were analyzed among the diet groups and female vegans had a lower risk of “all female cancers” before adjusting for body mass index (BMI). Vegans also had a slightly higher rate of urinary tract cancers after adjusting for BMI. There is no data on North American vegetarians who are not also Seventh-day Adventists. In order for the rate to be statistically significant, the numbers in the confidence interval (in the parentheses) must both either be less than 1.00 or greater than 1.00."

"text": "\"Seventh-day Adventists Last updated 2009-07-30The history and modern-day organisation of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, founded in the USA and notable for observing the Sabbath on Saturday instead of Sunday. On this page Introduction History Beliefs The Sabbath Behaviour and ethics Worship Holy books Membership and organisation Print this page Introduction Seventh-day Adventists The Seventh-day Adventist Church is a Millennialist Protestant Christian denomination that was founded in the 1860s in the USA. The name Seventh-day Adventist is based on the Church's observance of the \"\"biblical Sabbath\"\" on Saturday, the seventh day of the week. \"\" Advent\"\" means coming and refers to their belief that Jesus Christ will soon return to this earth. Seventh-day Adventists differ in only four areas of beliefs from the mainstream Trinitarian Christian denominations. These are the Sabbath day, the doctrine of the heavenly sanctuary, the status of the writings of Ellen White, and their doctrine of the second coming and millennium. Adventists live modest lives, with a strict code of ethics. They don't smoke or drink alcohol, and recommend a vegetarian diet. Meat is permitted, but only following the Biblical commandments on clean and unclean food. Missionary work is very important to the Church and all Adventists believe they have a duty to share their beliefs with others."

It had the in-universe registration of NX-01 and appeared earlier in the franchise timeline than any Starfleet ship named Enterprise. The producers of the series had originally intended to use an Akira-class starship as seen in Star Trek: First Contact, but production designer Herman Zimmerman talked them into using a design with greater influence from Star Trek: The Original Series. Doug Drexler designed the exterior of the vessel, eventually arriving at the final design after also suggesting a Daedalus-class starship with a sphere-shaped primary hull, and a ship more reminiscent of the USS Enterprise complete with secondary hull."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Pulp magazines or Pulp Fiction (often referred to as \"\" the pulps \"\") were inexpensive fiction magazines that were published from 1896 to the 1950s. The term pulp derives from the cheap wood pulp paper on which the magazines were printed. In contrast, magazines printed on higher-quality paper were called \"\"glossies\"\" or \"\"slicks\"\". The typical pulp magazine had 128 pages; it was 7 inches (18 cm) wide by 10 inches (25 cm) high, and 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) thick, with ragged, untrimmed edges. The pulps gave rise to the term pulp fiction in reference to run-of-the-mill, low-quality literature. Pulps were the successors to the penny dreadfuls, dime novels, and short-fiction magazines of the 19th century. Although many respected writers wrote for pulps, the magazines were best known for their lurid, exploitative, and sensational subject matter. Modern superhero comic books are sometimes considered descendants of \"\"hero pulps\"\"; pulp magazines often featured illustrated novel-length stories of heroic characters, such as The Shadow, Doc Savage, and The Phantom Detective.

The steam-powered printing press had been in widespread use for some time, enabling the boom in dime novels; prior to Munsey, however, no one had combined cheap printing, cheap paper and cheap authors in a package that provided affordable entertainment to young working-class people."

"text": "\"Imagining the future: Why society needs science fiction Image credit: Albert Robida /Public domain. First published on 3rd April 2012. Last updated on 25th January 2018 by Dr Helen Klus Show Contents1. What is science fiction? ↑While there's no single accepted definition of science fiction, science fiction usually deals with worlds that differ from our own as the result of new scientific discoveries, new technologies, or different social systems. It then looks at the consequences of this change. Because of this broad definition, science fiction can be used to consider questions regarding science, politics, sociology, and the philosophy of the mind, as well as any questions about the future. It's sometimes hard to distinguish science fiction from fantasy. This is because the definition of science has changed drastically over time, and as Arthur C. Clarke famously stated:...any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic [1]. One of the greatest astronomers of the 17th century, Johannes Kepler, had to invoke demons to explain how someone could travel to the Moon in his novel Somnium, and 18th century author Samuel Madden used angels to explain time travel from the year 1998 in Memoirs Of the Twentieth Century.

Definitions: Types Of Games Not everyone knows the different types of games that are out there, so in an effort to form a common language that we can all use, I'll run through each game type and provide a very brief history.2.1. Arcade style Although arcade games had their heydey in the 80's, they are nonetheless very popular. Nothing will ever replace walking into a dark, crowded and noisy arcade gallery, popping a quarter into your favorite machine and playing an old fashioned game of Space Invaders. Arcade style games attempt to simulate the arcade games themselves. There is such a vast number of these things that it's nearly impossible to enumerate them all, but they include clones of Asteroids, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Missile Command and Galaxian.2.2. Card, logic and board games Computer based card games simulate a card game like poker or solitaire. The program can simulate your opponent (s). Logic games usually simulate some well known logic puzzle like Master Mind or the game where you have put sliding numbered tiles in order inside a box. Computer based board games simulate some kind of board game you'd play on a table top with friends, like monopoly, Mille Bourne, chess or checkers."

The idea that the magical can happen in the midst of the ordinary is fantastic. Fantasy really makes the phrase \"\"Escape with a good book\"\" meaningful. Our everyday world is at times quite predictable and mundane. Some of us dream of having magical powers or coming across a mythical beast. The supernatural is so very intriguing to me. I know that many students feel the same way. They eat up anything that has magic, dragons, wizards or talking beasts. Stories like that seem so real that sometimes the fantasy and the reality become intertwined and hard to separate. I once had a girl who was puzzled because she didn't realize that dragons didn't exist."

Bondebjerg Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B0-08-043076-7/04327-8 Get rights and content Genre is a concept used in film studies and film theory to describe similarities between groups of films based on esthetic or broader social, institutional, cultural, and psychological aspects. Genre labels are used by industry in the production, marketing, and distribution of films; by film analysts and critics in historic analysis of film; and also in popular discourse as a framework for audiences in the selection and experience of films. The development of studies of film genre from classical to modern film theory have shifted between focus on different aspects of genres. Studies of particular film genres may stress the social and cultural aspects of genre, as ideological or ritual expressions of American history, values, and mythology, or as part of the Hollywood studio system and the institutional development of production norms. Or studies may stress the formal narrative, visual, iconographic, and thematic structure of particular groups of films in order to find similarities and variations and historical changes and developments. But studies of genre may also focus on psychological aspects of genre as in psychosemiotic and feminist genre studies or in more cognitive and emotional theory of basic prototypes of film genres. Genre, a term notoriously difficult to pin down, refers to a type of film or other art object where instances of the type share similarities in form and style, theme and content, as well as communicative function. A film genre is thus based on a set of conventions that influence both the production of individual works within that genre and audience expectations and experiences.1. The Study of Film Genres The concept of genre has been important since the beginning of the history of film, as a category for the industry and thus for the production, marketing, and distribution of films; for film critics and the academic, esthetic, historical, and theoretical analysis of film; and for audiences as a framework for the selection and experience of films. The study of film genres is therefore placed in a triangular structure relating to the institutional, social, and cultural context of films; to the esthetic, formal, thematic, and stylistic dimensions; and to audiences and reception understood both in an empirical social and psychological sense."

"text": "Fantasy: Why is the genre so popular? by Rowena Cory Daniells Posted on June 17, 2010 by Steve Rossiter Since the Peter Jackson film of the same name, it would be safe to say that most people have heard of The Lord of the Rings, most people have a grasp of the fantasy genre. While the popularity of Tolkien’s LOTR has grown since it was released in 1954-55, spawning hundreds of imitations, fantasy has always been with us. What is The Illiad but a fantasy quest story, with magic, gods and monsters? Beowulf, The Song of Roland, Nibelungenlied (Wagner’s Opera The Ring of Nibelung ), all fantasy stories. From the earliest myths and legends, through different cultures fantasy has been with us. Think of the Arabian Nights stories, the Arthurian Romances, Spenser’s The Fairie Queen, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Lord Byron’s Manfred, Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and the works of Edgar Allen Poe, Lovecraft, Lord Dunsany, and George Mac Donald. Whether these stories are set in our world or a secondary world where magical creatures and/or people exist, they all share a common theme: the exploration of the human condition. Even the much maligned medieval/quest fantasies offer their readers the chance to vicariously explore a wondrous world, battle evil and restore justice. Even a lowly Hobbit can change the course of the world by destroying the Ring."

"text": "\"Homework Help > The Adventures of Tom Sawyer Where and when does this story take place?print Print document PDF list Cite Expert Answers Noelle Thompson | Certified Educator When you speak about where and when, you are speaking about the setting of a piece of literature. We can talk about this as the \"\"Setting of Time\"\" and the \"\"Setting of Place.\"\" Let's explore both here. Setting of Time Mark Twain wrote his novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in the late nineteenth century, but the actual setting of the novel is in the decade of the 1840s. We can be sure of this because slavery is most definitely still in force. Gender roles were very specific and the vernacular of Missouri is well-established in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer . Another aspect of the time is the use of superstition and, specifically, bad luck, that marks the mid nineteenth century. Setting of Place Although it is a purely fictional town, the town in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is well-known to be modeled after Twain's own hometown in Missouri called Hannibal. Obviously, the Mississippi river plays a main role in the book and is even considered a character by some Twain scholars. In addition to vernacular being a good element of the setting of time, it can also be a good element in analyzing the setting of place in that the vernacular used in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is most definitely from Hannibal, Missouri."

It includes visits to the South Shetland Islands, the western and northern sections of the Antarctic Peninsula, the stunning and wild Weddell Sea region located on the eastern side of the Peninsula, and the historic location of Elephant Island – a place forever connected to the epic story of Sir Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance expedition 100 years ago. Adding to the experience will be a visit to several locations in the Falkland Island archipelago – home to nesting albatross and the colorful King penguin. These diverse locations each feature their own unique attractions. Stunning glaciated scenery along the Antarctic Peninsula, enormous Adelie penguin rookeries and the flat-topped ‘tabular’ icebergs in the Weddell Sea, copious history in the South Shetland’s and Elephant Island - and a whole new range of wildlife species to observe in the Falkland Islands. Throughout the voyage, our expedition ship acts as a floating wilderness lodge, which we reposition every day to yet another exciting location. You will be spoiled for choice by all of the activities we have planned. Short walks or longer hikes on shore to visit wildlife colonies, historic sites and science bases, cruising in the Zodiac boats looking for whales and seals, and spending time with the resident photography expert. The more adventurous might like to join the sea kayaking program, or perhaps spend a night camping on the ice – the choice is yours.

Early settlers called the island \"\" Te Pito O Te Henua \"\" (Navel of The World). Officially a territory of Chile, it lies far off in the Pacific Ocean, roughly halfway to Tahiti. It is most famous for its enigmatic giant stone statues, built centuries ago, which reflect the history of the dramatic rise and fall of the most isolated Polynesian culture. Understand [ edit]The English name of the island commemorates its European discovery by a Dutch exploration vessel on Easter Sunday in 1722. Ever since Thor Heyerdahl and a small party of adventurers sailed their raft from South America to the Tuamotu islands, far to the north of Easter Island, a controversy has raged over the origin of the islanders. Today DNA testing has proved conclusively that the Polynesians arrived from the west rather than the east, and that the people of Easter Island are descendants of intrepid voyagers who set out from Taiwan thousands of years ago. Legend says that the people left for Easter Island because their own island was slowly being swallowed by the sea. In brief, the prehistory of Easter Island is one of supreme accomplishment, flourishing and civilization, followed by environmental devastation and decline. Although it is not agreed when people first arrived on Easter Island (with estimates ranging from several hundred to more than one thousand years ago), consensus seems to be that the first peoples arrived from Polynesia."

The islands are quite remote and isolated, lying some 1000 km (620 miles) west of the South American continent. The Galapagos archipelago consists of 13 main islands and 6 smaller islets, which together embrace some 50,000 sq km (19,500 sq miles) of ocean. Understand [ edit]Galapagos Islands satellite photograph, NASAThe Galápagos archipelago is world-renowned for its unique and fearless wildlife - much of which was inspiration for Charles Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection. The islands are therefore very popular amongst natural historians, both professional and amateur. Giant tortoises, sea lions, penguins, marine iguanas and different bird species can all be seen and approached. The landscape of the islands is relatively barren and volcanic, but beautiful nonetheless. The highest mountain amongst the islands is Volcán Wolf on Isla Isabela, 1707 m (5600ft) high. The Galápagos were claimed by newly-independent Ecuador in 1832, a mere three years before Darwin's visit on the Beagle."

Joe Graedon May 26, 2012 Default 742 Comments Gabapenin is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs by doctors. At last count over 50 million prescriptions were dispensed annually.

But gabapentin side effects are not trivial as you will discover in our answer below. Q. I would like to know your feelings on the regular use of gabapentin for chronic insomnia.

"text": "FAQ: Gabapentin for Depression, Mania and Anxiety. NOTE: Gabapentin is only approved in the USA for the treatment of people with seizures.  There are few systematic studies that establishthe safety or efficacy of gabapentin as a treat-ment for people with mood disorders, anxiety or tardive dyskinesia. While such studies are in the progress, what is currently known about the use of gabapentin for the control of mood and anxiety disorders and tardive dyskinesia comes mostly from uncontrolled case reports. The few double-blind placebo-controlled studies that have been done to date have not demonstrated that  aba-pentin is an effective mood stbailizer.1. What is gabapentin (Neurontin)? Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that is chemically unrelated to any other anticonvulsant or mood regulating medication.2. When was gabapentin approved for marketing in the USA and for what indications may it be promoted? Gabapentin received final approval for marketing in the USA on 30 December 1993 and is labeled only for use as an anticonvulsant. It is also used to treat individuals suffering from many kinds of pain problems, tremors, restless legs syndrome, hot flashes associated with menopause, and various psychiatric disorders.3."

The aim of this study was to compare previous dosing methods with the administration of four different doses of gabapentin while maintaining the same maximum daily dose for the safe administration of high doses of the medication. Methods The subjects were outpatients with various neuropathic pain syndromes, with at least two of the following symptoms: allodynia, burning pain, shooting pain, or hyperalgesia. The TID group received equal doses of gabapentin 3 times per day, while the QID group received 4 different doses of gabapentin per day. The pain score, frequency of breakthrough pain (BTP), severity and the duration of pain, sleep disturbance due to nocturnal pain, and adverse effects were recorded each day. Results The average daily pain score and sleep disturbance were significantly reduced in the QID group between days 3 and 10 of the experiment. The adverse effects of the medication were also reduced in the QID group."

"text": "\"Posted: August 29, 2013 | Report This |Mrs Butterfly42 Q. How long after you take a Gabapentin 300mg tablet, should you take a Lortab 7.5mg? I take Gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and when I have serious pain, I take the Lortab 7.5mg I usually wait about an hour after I take the gabapentin and then I take the lortab, I did that this evening and for some reason I'm having unusual nausea and shakiness in my upper extremities. Could you please tell me how long I should wait before I take the lortab? And what can I do to stop the shakiness? Related Topics: Pain, Nausea Follow Question Answers From Experts & Organizations (1)Elizabeth Hanes General Medicine Nursing1,458 Answers 101,858 Helpful Votes 291 Followers A. If the symptoms don't go away within a few hours, or if they get worse, I suggest you go to the emergency room or an urgent care facility (or call a nurse advice line). Shakiness (or tremor) is a known side effect of gabapentin, so this symptom should go away as the level of gabapentin in your system goes down. If you continue to experience shakiness after taking gabapentin in the future, you should notify your doctor immediately. That said, there is no reason you can't take both the gabapentin and the lortab at the same time. Although both are \"\"painkillers,\"\" they work in entirely different ways. Without getting too technical, gabapentin works directly on nerves at the synapses."

We will be working on guidelines I. C.19, e Adverse Effects, Poisoning, and Underdosing and Toxic Effects;I. C.19,f Adult and child abuse, neglect, and other maltreatment and;I. C.19.g Complications of care You will note significant changes in the way we code for the Adverse effects, etc. You will also note the addition of guidelines covering adult and child abuse. These guidelines were not in ICD-9-CM, however these same rules were in coding clinic. Finally we have Complications of care - there is a mixture of new and old rules here. I will go over the changes in detail on the following pages. The blocks covering this particular part of Chapter 19 include: T36-T50Poisoning by, adverse effect of and underdosing of drugs, medicaments, and biological substances T51-T65Toxic effects of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source T66-T78Other and unspecified effects of external causes T79Certain early complications of trauma T810-T88Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified. Instructional Note for Poisoning, Adverse Effects of an underdosing of drugs, medicaments, and biological substances There is a pretty significant note at the beginning of the T36-T50 section: Let's review the guidelines now. The section pertaining to coding of Poisoning and Adverse effects is SIGNIFICANTLY different then we had in ICD-9-CM. All of the information below for I. C.19.e.1-4 was information we used through coding clinic, but was not part of the ICD-9-CM guidelines per se."

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action The mechanism by which gabapentin exerts its analgesic action is unknown, but in animal models of analgesia, gabapentin prevents allodynia (pain-related behavior in response to a normally innocuous stimulus) and hyperalgesia (exaggerated response to painful stimuli). In particular, gabapentin prevents pain-related responses in several models of neuropathic pain in rats or mice (e.g. spinal nerve ligation models, streptozocin-induced diabetes model, spinal cord injury model, acute herpes zoster infection model). Gabapentin also decreases pain-related responses after peripheral inflammation (carrageenan footpad test, late phase of formalin test). Gabapentin did not alter immediate pain-related behaviors (rat tail flick test, formalin footpad acute phase, acetic acid abdominal constriction test, footpad heat irradiation test). The relevance of these models to human pain is not known. The mechanism by which gabapentin exerts its anticonvulsant action is unknown, but in animal test systems designed to detect anticonvulsant activity, gabapentin prevents seizures as do other marketed anticonvulsants. Gabapentin exhibits antiseizure activity in mice and rats in both the maximal electroshock and pentylenetetrazole seizure models and other preclinical models (e.g., strains with genetic epilepsy, etc.). The relevance of these models to human epilepsy is not known. Gabapentin is structurally related to the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) but it does not modify GABA A or GABA B radioligand binding, it is not converted metabolically into GABA or a GABA agonist, and it is not an inhibitor of GABA uptake or degradation."

"text": "- Cholinergic and anticholinergic drugs Edit 0 2 …0 Tags No tags Notify RSSBacklinks Source Print Export (PDF)Cholinergic drugs Actions and uses Cholinergic drugs are medications that produce the same effects as the parasympathetic nervous system, especially imitating acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the most common neurohormone of the parasympathetic nervous system, it is responsible for the everyday work of the body. While the sympathetic nervous system acts during times of excitation, the parasympathetic system deals with everyday activities such as salivation, digestion, and muscle relaxation. The cholinergic drugs may be used in several ways. The cholinergic muscle stimulants are used to diagnose and treat myasthenia gravis, a disease that causes severe muscle weakness. These drugs are also widely used in surgery, both to reduce the risk of urinary retention, and to reverse the effects of the muscle relaxant drugs that are used in surgery. Cholinergic drugs are also used in control of glaucoma, a disease that is caused by increased pressure inside the eye. Cholinergic drugs usually act in one of two ways. Some directly mimic the effect of acetylcholine, while others block the effects of acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that destroys naturally occurring acetylcholine."

"title": "http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/408593_5\nDefinition of Drug-Induced Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly",
"text": "\"Drugs Associated With Cognitive Impairment Taking a thorough drug history is one of the first steps that should be performed when assessing an older patient with changes in cognitive function. This history should include prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, illicit substances, alcohol use, herbs, vitamins, nutraceuticals, homeopathic products, and naturopathic remedies, including the use of home remedies as well as other forms of complementary or alternative medicine. In the elderly, an increased number of medications may have a greater negative impact on orientation and memory as opposed to concentration and judgment. [ 28] The more complex a drug regimen, the more difficult it may be to identify the specific drug (s) that may be causing cognitive impairment. It is important to note that in the elderly, drug-induced cognitive impairment may occur even in the presence of nontoxic or therapeutic levels of a drug. Further, there may be intraclass differences in the propensity to induce cognitive impairment. Numerous drugs have been identified in The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics as causing a multitude of psychiatric symptoms, including hallucinations, fearfulness, insomnia, paranoia, depression, delusions, bizarre behavior, agitation, anxiety, panic attacks, manic symptoms, hypomania, depersonalization, psychosis, schizophrenic relapse, aggressiveness, nightmares, vivid dreams, excitement, disinhibition, rage, hostility, mutism, hypersexuality, suicidality, crying, hyperactivity, euphoria, dysphoria, lethargy, seizures, Tourette-like syndrome, obsessiveness, fear of imminent death, illusions, emotional lability, sensory distortions, impulsivity, and irritability, which can impact on mental capacity. Further, there are a number of medications that may be linked to causing cognitive impairment by inducing delirium, confusion, disorientation, memory loss, amnesia, stupor, coma, or encephalopathy. Among these drugs are: acyclovir, anticholinergics and atropine, anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, asparaginase, baclofen, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, beta-blockers, buspirone, caffeine, chlorambucil, chloroquine, clonidine, clozapine, cytarabine, digitalis glycosides, disulfiram, dronabinol, ganciclovir, histamine-2 antagonists, ifosfamide, interleukin-2, ketamine, levodopa, maprotiline, mefloquine, methyldopa, methylphenidate, metrizamide, metronidazole, pergolide, phenylpropanolamine, pilocarpine, propafenone, quinidine, salicylates, seligiline, sulfonamides, trazodone, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Often these medications produce more than 1 type of psychiatric symptom. ["

"text": "\"Drugs & Diseases > Neurology Parkinson Disease Medication Updated: Dec 13, 2017Author: Robert A Hauser, MD, MBA; Chief Editor: Selim R Benbadis, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Medication Summary The cornerstone of symptomatic treatment for Parkinson disease (PD) is dopamine replacement therapy. The criterion standard of symptomatic therapy is levodopa (L-dopa), the metabolic precursor of dopamine, in combination with carbidopa, a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor (PDI). This combination provides the greatest symptomatic benefit with the fewest short-term adverse effects. Dopamine agonists such as pramipexole and ropinirole can be used as monotherapy to improve symptoms in early disease or as adjuncts to levodopa in patients whose response to levodopa is deteriorating and in those who are experiencing fluctuations in their response to levodopa. Monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B inhibitors (eg, rasagiline, safinamide, selegiline) provide symptomatic benefit as monotherapy in early disease and as adjuncts to levodopa in patients experiencing motor fluctuations. Catechol- O -methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitors inhibitors such as entacapone and tolcapone may be used to increase the peripheral half-life of levodopa, thereby delivering more levodopa to the brain over a longer time. Anticholinergic medications can be used for the treatment of resting tremor. However, they are not particularly effective for bradykinesia, rigidity, gait disturbance, or other features of advanced Parkinson disease; and cognitive side effects are common. Therefore, anticholinergics are usually reserved for the treatment of tremor that is not adequately controlled with dopaminergic medications. Pimavanserin is the first medication approved by the FDA for hallucinations and delusions associated with PD."

Disclosure: Dr. Robinson has served as a consultant to Johnson and Johnson, PGx Health, and Takeda. Adults experience gradual decline in cognitive function with aging, predominately a modest impairment of memory and recall. For most, this cognitive decline is relatively benign so that activities of daily living are maintained. As people live longer, developing Alzheimer’s dementia is becoming a late-life problem; if one reaches 80 years of age, the risk approaches 50%. The pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease is poorly understood, and definitive treatment remains an enigma. Many approved Alzheimer drugs act via a cholinomimetic mechanism of action; they modestly improve functioning by enhancing endogenous acetylcholine within the central nervous system (CNS). However, drugs with anticholinergic (ACH) properties block acetylcholine receptors, antagonizing the central effects of this neurotransmitter and impairing cognition. Many commonly prescribed drugs, by blocking acetylcholine receptors, produce cognitive deficits in older adults."

TABLE 6.1 — Classification of Antidepressants By Putative Mechanism (s) of Action Responsible for Antidepressant Efficacy:* Generic/ (Trade) Names By Drug Class Mixed Reuptake and Neuroreceptor Antagonists † • Amitriptyline (Elavil) • Amoxapine (Ascendin) • Clomipramine (Anafranil) • Doxepin (Sinequan) • Imipramine (Tofranil-PM) • Trimipramine (Surmontil)Norepinephrine Selective Reuptake Inhibitors (NSRIs) ‡ • Desipramine (Norpramin) • Maprotiline (Ludiomil) • Nortriptyline (Pamelor, Aventyl) • Protriptyline (Vivactil)Serotonin Selective Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) • Citalopram (Celexa) • Fluoxetine (Prozac) • Fluvoxamine (Luvox) • Paroxetine (Paxil) • Sertraline (Zoloft)Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI) § • Venlafaxine (Effexor)Serotonin-2A (5-HT2A) Receptor Blocker and Weak Serotonin Uptake Inhibitor|| • Nefazodone (Serzone) • Trazodone (Desyrel)Serotonin (5-HT2A and 2C) and a-2 Norepinephrine Receptor Blocker || • Mirtazapine (Remeron)Dopamine and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors • Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, Zyban Sustained-Release)Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) ¶ • Phenelzine (Nardil) • Tranylcypromine (Parnate)Abbreviations: 5-HT, 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). * The presumptive mechanism of action for each drug is based on the preclinical pharmacology of the drug and the fact that it and/or its active metabolites reach sufficient concentration in vivo to affect this site of action, given its in vitro potency. † All of these drugs are tertiary amine tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) except amoxapine. ‡ All of these drugs are secondary amine TCAs except maprotiline. There are nontricyclic NSRIs available in other parts of the world, such as reboxetine. Those drugs share the ability to inhibit norepinephrine uptake with the secondary amine TCAs and maprotiline but do not carry the risk of serious toxicity even after a substantial overdose. § At present, venlafaxine is the only member of this class available in the United States although several others are in various stages of clinical testing. || Both nefazodone and mirtazapine also have other mechanisms of action that are engaged at concentrations which occur under clinically relevant dosing guidelines (see Table 6.2). ¶"

An older version of this article can be found in print: (Yacovino and Hain, 2012). We also highly recommend the neuropharmacology review article written by Soto et al (2013). A discussion of drug treatment should start with a discussion of the neurotransmitters used to signal in the vestibular system. This discussion is found here. VESTIBULAR SUPPRESSANTSVestibular suppressant and antiemetic drugs are the mainstay of treatment of vertigo. The term \"\"vestibular suppressant\"\" is a vague one generally used to indicate drugs that reduce nystagmus evoked by a vestibular imbalance or which reduce motion sickness. Table 1 lists commonly used vestibular suppressants, which consist of three major drug groups, the anticholinergics, the antihistamines, and the benzodiazepines.

The usual concentration of IV potassium chloride is 20 to 40 m Eq/L. Potassium chloride is never given by bolus (IV push). Giving potassium chloride by IV push can result in cardiac arrest. Dilution in normal saline is recommended, but dextrose solution is avoided because this type of solution increases intracellular potassium shifting. The IV bag containing the potassium chloride is always gently agitated before hanging. The IV site is monitored closely because potassium chloride is irritating to the veins and the risk of phlebitis exists. The nurse monitors urinary output during administration and contacts the physician if the urinary output is less than 30 m L/hr. After adding a medication to a bag of intravenous (IV) solution, the nurse should agitate or rotate the bag gently to mix the medication evenly in the solution. The nurse should then attach a completed medication label. The nurse can then prime the tubing."

[ 1] It can be given intravenously in severe hypertensive situations, or by mouth for long term hypertension management. [ 2] Its dose and use is limited by its main side effect— postural hypotension, where there is a substantial drop in blood pressure when standing up. [ 3] [4]Labetalol's dual alpha and beta adrenergic antagonism has different physiological effects in short- and long-term situations. In short-term, acute situations, labetalol decreases blood pressure by decreasing systemic vascular resistance with little effect on stroke volume, heart rate and cardiac output. [ 5] During long-term use, labetalol can reduce heart rate during exercise while maintaining cardiac output by an increase in stroke volume.

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Neurology Emergent Management of Myasthenia Gravis Updated: Dec 08, 2016Author: William D Goldenberg, MD; Chief Editor: Robert E O'Connor, MD, MPH more... Share Email Print Feedback Overview The most important aspect of emergent management of myasthenia gravis is the detection and treatment of the myasthenic crisis. Myasthenia gravis is a relatively rare autoimmune disorder of peripheral nerves in which antibodies form against acetylcholine (ACh) nicotinic postsynaptic receptors at the myoneural junction. A reduction in the number of ACh receptors results in a characteristic pattern of progressively reduced muscle strength with repeated use of the muscle and recovery of muscle strength following a period of rest. The bulbar muscles are affected most commonly and most severely, but most patients also develop some degree of fluctuating generalized weakness. [ 1]Epidemiology The estimated prevalence of myasthenia gravis is approximately 20 cases per 100,000 population, with the disease affecting twice as many women as men. The overall prevalence is approximately 150-200 per million. [ 2] However, in older age groups, men are affected more often and the disease is often misdiagnosed. [ 3] As a result, there is a bimodal distribution with a female predominance in the 2 nd to 3 rd decade of life and male predominance in the 6 th to 8 th decades. [ 1, 3, 2] Ocular complaints are more common in the first year and are the presenting symptom in 50% of cases. Often within 1 year, patients have generalized symptoms such as weakness or fatigue and one third of patients develop respiratory weakness, requiring mechanical ventilation. ["

View Profile What are antacids used for? Antacids and acid-suppressing medications are used in the treatment of heartburn associated with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The medical term for heartburn is esophagitis, which means inflammation of the esophagus. Most antacids and acid-suppressing medications do nothing to prevent the regurgitation of stomach contents back into the esophagus; rather the purpose of these medications is to neutralize or restrict the production of stomach acid, and thereby allow the esophagus to heal. How antacids work Different medications work in different ways."

The use of antacids has declined because of the availability of many very potent drugs that are more effective and much less troublesome to take than antacids. Still, these drugs can be helpful in relieving intermittent, infrequent heartburn and indigestion. If these symptoms occur frequently such as multiple times a day or at night, then the cause should be sought, as a more serious disorder may be present. Calcium carbonate is a good antacid but it also provides calcium, which is desirable. Adults need 1500 mg of calcium a day and post menopausal females even more. Unless you drink a quart of milk a day, you likely do not get enough calcium from your food. Following are some facts about antacids: Taken on an empty stomach, they only neutralize acid for 30 to 60 minutes because the antacid quickly leaves the stomach.

Purpose Laxatives are used to treat constipation—the passage of small amounts of hard, dry stools,usually fewer than three times a week. Before recommending use of laxatives, differentialdiagnosis should be performed. Prolonged constipation may be evidence of a significantproblem, such as localized peritonitis or diverticulitis. Complaints of constipation may be associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Use of laxatives should be avoided in thesecases. Patients should be aware that patterns of defecation are highly variable, and may varyfrom two to three times daily to two to three times weekly. Laxatives may also be used prophylacticly for patients, such as those recovering from a myocardial infarction or those who have had recent surgery, who should not strain duringdefecation. Laxatives are also used to cleanse the lower bowel before a colonoscopy or similar diagnosticprocedure."

"text": "Home > Prescription Drugs > Gabapentin > Gabapentin Drug Interactions Gabapentin Drug Interactionsby Carol Parkeron May 15, 2012Tweet Taking gabapentin together with other medications can lead to drug interactions. Some of the drugs that can potentially interact with gabapentin include: Naproxen Studies suggest that naproxen (aleve) increases the amount of gabapentin absorbed in the body. Although the increase is relatively minimal to cause sudden adverse effects, caution is advised when using these two drugs together. These patients are also at increased risk of experiencing side effects. Hydrocodone Gabapentin tends to decrease the amount hydrocodone in the body as well as the desired pharmacologic effect this medication. The amount of decrease is dependent upon the dose of gabapentin. Hydrocodone potentially increases the gabapentin levels in the blood although its potential effects are not known. If using these drugs in combination, your healthcare provider may adjust your dosage depending on your response to the treatment. Morphine Morphine tends to increase the levels of gabapentin in the blood which increases the risk for side effects. Be sure to consult your healthcare provider when taking these drugs together."

Cipro is a hard hitting antibiotic and I have been on it and probably still suffer from it. There are other physical treatments such as myringotomy (sp). Basically the ear drum is purposely punctured, and the middle ear cavity is then allowed to drain. Sounds painful.... but 200$ says you will rather have that done than go through the pain you are in now. Read More About the only good thing that can be said of ciprofloxacin therapy is that it is better than losing life or limb to an infection. Typically cipro is used as an antibiotic of last resort--the last, best hope before amputation or death. It is a very powerful antibiotic but it also has some pretty ugly side effects. Why haven't we heard from those people who took cipro and didn't have any visual problems? Perhaps we only hear about the coincidences that might occur purely by chance."

Use this dosing for patients aged 6 months of age and older. Warm the solution by holding the vial in the hand for 1 to 2 minutes.

"text": "Side Effects for Ciprofloxacinkarembeu21 / December 2, 2010Ciprofloxacin, also know by the trade name Cipro, is a fluoroquinolone antimicrobial used to treat or prevent several types of bacterial infection. Ciprofloxacin exhibits activity against a broad-spectrum of bacterial species, including pseudomonas, an opportunistic gram-negative. It is effective in treating infections of the sinuses, respiratory tract, bone, joint, skin and soft tissue, genitourinary and gastrointestinal tracts. Ciprofloxacin is considered a first-line agent for the treatment of anthrax exposure. Ciprofloxacin is not typically prescribed for use in children less than 18 years of age due to its adverse effects on the formation of long bones and tendons. Gastrointestinal/Hepatic Effects Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain have been recorded in one to ten percent of Ciprofloxacin users. Liver test elevations may also occur with similar frequency. Less than one percent of patients may experience GI bleeding, jaundice or a severe opportunistic bowel condition called pseudomembranous colitis. Dermatologic Effects Skin rash may occur in one to ten percent of patients. Ciprofloxacin may also increase the risk of sunburn, and sunscreen should be used during therapy."

"text": "Drinking Alcohol with Cipro and Other Fluroquinolone Drugs…FQToxicity Research Staff | January 2, 2016 | Cipro, Fluoroquinolone Advocacy Are you interested in knowing whether you should take Ciprofloxacin and Alcohol together? It’s a good question that anyone taking Cipro, the brand name of Ciprofloxacin might want to know. Many, if not most, drugs have ‘interactions’ with other drugs, foods, or supplements that cause problems when taken together. It’s important to know about these Fluoroquinolone Drug Interactions, as they can be serious and even deadly. If you are unfamiliar with the damaging effects of these drugs, please read the Introduction to Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics here. For instance, Fluoroquinolones and Prednisone should never be taken together, despite the fact that they are given together routinely due to physician ignorance, so it’s important that you do the research yourself and not rely on your doctor to give you this information, since he may not know. Additionally, even something as simple as getting sun exposure can Increase Your Risk of Skin Cancer When Taking Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics. Included in this information on Ciprofoxacin and alcohol is info on: Levofloxacin and alcohol Moxifloxacin and alcohol,and all other Fluoroquinolone antibiotics, since they all have similar effects to Ciprofloxacin Ciprofloxacin and Alcohol in the Literature So, first of all, just to ease your mind a bit, there have been very few reports in the scientific literature of any deaths or serious injuries from the interaction of Ciprofloxacin and alcohol. There was a case of one man having a serious but self-limiting skin reaction from drinking alcohol while taking cipro 1, but I could find almost no other serious reactions reported. However, a serious issue to keep in mind is that one study showed that alcohol was cleared from the body almost 10% less efficiently than in those who did not take Ciprofloxacin 2."

"text": "3.80 51 ratings Could Your Antibiotic Cause You Permanent Nerve Damage? According to a recent FDAs safety communication, use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics may lead to permanent nerve damage in some patients. Joe Graedon October 7, 2013 Default 157 Comments Did you know that the FDA has issued a safety notification about a class of popular antibiotics called fluoroquinolones (FQs)? The announcement involves the following drugs: Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)Gemifloxacin (Factive)Levofloxacin (Levaquin)Moxifloxacin (Avelox)Norfloxacin (Noroxin)Ofloxacin (Floxin)According to the FDA, over 21 million people get a prescription for one of these drugs each year. That makes this class of antibiotics among the most popular in the pharmacy. Doctors love to prescribe FQs because they are effective for a wide range of infections including bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis and skin infections. These drugs have been around for decades. Cipro, for example, has been on the market for over 25 years. After all this time, one would think that the FDA would have a clear understanding of the benefits and risks of such drugs. In fact, you might assume that doctors would have been warned about complications of FQ drugs like Levaquin or Cipro from the very beginning."

"text": "\"20 Things Cipro's Warning Label WON'T Tell You:1. As everyone knows, all drugs have potential side effects. In the vast majority of drugs on the market (over 95% of them), these side effects are transient--meaning they cease when the medication is discontinued. This is NOT the case with Cipro. Many of the side effects listed on Cipro's warning label (plus many others that are not) can actually be PERMANENT and result in lifelong disability! Bayer blatantly hides this fact, as the word \"\"permanent\"\" appears absolutely nowhere on the drug's warning label 1.2. Cipro is a purely synthetic chemotherapeutic antibiotic in the fluoroquinolone (also referred to as \"\"quinolone\"\", \"\"quin\"\" or \"\"FQ\"\") class of drugs. Well over HALF of all fluoroquinolone antibiotics have been pulled from the market over the years for their horrific safety records--and those remaining (Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox and a few others) are no safer! A study of ADRs in Italy, published in 2005, found that among more than 50 types of drugs, fluoroquinolones were involved in the largest number of serious problems and accounted for 11 percent of all adverse events. 2Every single drug in this class carries a black box warning--the equivalent of a skull & crossbones--for its nasty and long-lasting side effects."

While there is no doubt that prednisone temporarily reduces symptoms in many diseases and has certainly saved MANY lives of those having life threatening asthma attacks or allergic reactions, is the risk of these major side effects worth it? For those with chronic illnesses, these corticosteroids can only suppress symptoms and never actually cure these inflammatory problems because they never address the reasons WHY you are experiencing continual inflammation. Even in the case of Cortisone Injections, they don't cure the inflammation and pain, but only mask it. Have you ever thought about why your body is creating inflammation in the first place? There IS a reason, and corticosteroid anti-inflammatory drugs such as: Prednisone Prednisolone Methylprednisolone Pedia-Predalso called Glucocorticoids, Corticosteroids or Steroidal Anti-Inflammatories- these drugs should not be confused with the illegal 'Anabolic Steroids' that bodybuilders use nor with Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, such as Ibuprofen. Corticosteroids are powerful drugs that can only be obtained by prescription (at least in the US) and are designed to reduce inflammation in many different illnesses with an inflammatory component. Corticosteroids come in many forms and can be given by the intravenous or injection form in hospitals, where they are known as Prednisolone or Methylprednisolone, or in oral pills called Prednisone or Pedi Pred (for children) when taken at home. While they absolutely do reduce inflammation, and they do their job extremely well for both acute and chronic problems, they also cause a WIDE range of short and long-term side effects that can range from a pleasant increase in energy to permanent diabetes and osteoporosis."

On This Page: Antibiotics Antibiotic Overuse Antibiotic Resistance Antibiotics & Cystitis Antibiotic Side Effects Immune system effects Thrush - Candida Albicans Vasculitis Conclusion Antibiotics Antibiotics have saved millions of lives. Before the advent of penicillin, infections were a leading cause of death. In 1900, the leading causes of death were pneumonia, tuberculosis (TB), diarrhoea and enteritis, which along with diphtheria caused a third of all deaths. Since penicillin was introduced in the 1940s, scientists have developed more than 150 antibiotics to fight the spread of infectious diseases. As antibiotics were seen to cure previously fatal illnesses, this led doctors and the general public to trust them as miracle drugs. In most developed countries, antibiotics are still the second most used drug after painkillers. Most people are familiar with broad-spectrum antibiotics (killing many different types of bacteria) and narrow-spectrum antibiotics (killing targeted bacteria). But although antibiotics have saved millions of lives, the overuse/ misuse of antibiotics has created unforeseen problems.

Commercial brands of Ketamine include Ketalar, Ketaset, Ketmex; Ketotal, Ketamine-500 (Astrapin) and Imalgen. The name Ketamine is derived from \"\"keto-mine\"\" named after the ketone C=O group bonded to carbons, as well as an amine group. Ketamine was first administered to American soldiers during the Vietnam War, and is widely used today as a battlefield anesthetic in developing nations, as well as in veterinary medicine. The substance was first used in psychiatric and other academic research in the 1970s. Recreational use dates back to around 1967 and became increasingly popular through the end of the 20th century, particularly at raves, concerts, music festivals and other parties. Recreational names fro Ketamine include, \"\"K\"\", \"\"Ket\"\", \"\"Special K\"\"; \"\"Kitties\"\", \"\"K2\"\", \"\"Vitamin K\"\"; \"\"mean green\"\" and \"\"rockmesc\"\". Ketamine can currently only be used legally by health professionals, for university research purposes, or with a doctor's prescription. Classifications Ketamine, a hydrochloride salt, is pharmaceutically classified as an NMDA receptor antagonist. It is listed as a Schedule III drug under The United States Controlled Substances Act; in the United Kingdom, Ketamine is outlawed and listed as a Class C drug; in Canada, Ketamine is classified as a Schedule I narcotic;Uses Ketamine comes as a liquid or a powder; as a powder, it can be insufflated (inhaled), injected, or taken orally."

As a strong anesthetic, ketamine can affect a person’s sight and hearing, creating a feeling of detachment from his or her body. The U. S. Food & Drug Administration approved the drug in the 1970s for use as an anesthetic for humans and animals. The FDA put ketamine on the controlled substances list in 1999. An estimated 16,000 prescriptions for ketamine were issued in 2012, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. Street names for ketamine include: Cat Valium KKit Kat Purple Jet Special KSpecial La Coke Super Acid Vitamin KIntended Usage Ketamine is largely used as an anesthetic on animals in veterinary practices, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The medication was also traditionally used as an anesthetic on children. In recent years, doctors have prescribed it off-label to treat those with depression, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. In 2014, the FDA designated the drug as a breakthrough therapy drug for depression in people who require a rapid-acting antidepressant. However, further research must be conducted to determine ketamine’s true value as a longer-term depression treatment."

"text": "Grapefruit Can Dramatically Increase Medication Potency DECEMBER 11, 2012Daniel Weiss, Senior Editor Compounds in grapefruit can interact with a growing number of oral medications to produce serious side effects, according to a review of previous studies. Grapefruit can interact with a broad range of oral medications to significantly increase their effects, according to a review of previous studies published online on November 26, 2012, by the Canadian Medical Association Journal. At least 85 oral medications can have such interactions with grapefruit, 43 of which can lead to serious side effects, and many of these have been introduced just in the last few years. Compounds in grapefruit called furanocoumarin chemicals are the cause of the increased medication potency. These chemicals interact with the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme, found in the small intestine and liver, which partially inactivates many medications under normal circumstances. However, the grapefruit chemicals impair the action of CYP3A4, allowing the bioactivity of some medications to reach much higher levels than normal, potentially producing adverse effects. Furanocoumarin chemicals are also found in Seville oranges (used to make marmalade), limes, and pomelos, but not in sweet oranges such as navels and Valencias. Even a relatively small amount of grapefruit can have a large effect on drug concentration levels. For example, a single serving of grapefruit juice (200-250 ml) or a whole grapefruit combined with the antihypertensive felodipine has been shown to yield a systemic drug concentration 3 times that seen with equivalent water intake. Repeated intake led to even larger effects; drinking 250 ml of grapefruit juice 3 times per day for 6 days led to a systemic drug concentration 5 times that seen with water."

Go to: Abstract An increasing level of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor hypofunction within the brain is associated with memory and learning impairments, with psychosis, and ultimately with excitotoxic brain injury. As the brain ages, the NMDA receptor system becomes progressively hypofunctional, contributing to decreases in memory and learning performance. In those individuals destined to develop Alzheimer's disease, other abnormalities (eg, amyloidopathy and oxidative stress) interact to increase the NMDA receptor hypofunction (NRHypo) burden. In these vulnerable individuals, the brain then enters into a severe and persistent NRHypo state, which can lead to widespread neurodegeneration with accompanying mental symptoms and further cognitive deterioration. If the hypotheses described herein prove correct, treatment implications may be considerable. Pharmacological methods for preventing the overstimulation of vulnerable corticolimbic pyramidal neurons developed in an animal model may be applicable to the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

"text": "\"Opioid Use for Acute Pain Despite controversies surrounding the risks and benefits of opioid use in chronic (noncancer) pain conditions, few would question the appropriateness of using opioids for the treatment of moderate to severe pain following major surgery. A primary factor constraining opioid use for acute pain has been dose-limiting side effects that can be problematic in opioid-naive patients. Recent increases in licit and illicit opioid use have produced a growing population of patients in the United States with opioid tolerance. This trend has resulted in a new challenge in perioperative pain management -- how to treat acute pain in the opioid-tolerant individual. What Is Tolerance? Distinct from addiction or physical dependence, tolerance is a state of adaptation in which exposure to a drug induces changes that result in a diminution of 1 or more of the drug's effects over time. [ 1] In pain management, it is vital to differentiate the different types of analgesic tolerance. Tolerance may develop to the analgesic effects of opioids, the side effects of opioids, or both. Although tolerance is considered a normal physiological adaptation, the development of tolerance is variable in individuals, and different types of tolerance develop at different rates. The dose of opioid and the duration of exposure required to produce tolerance are unknown, but tolerance to side effects (which is often beneficial) may develop as quickly as 2 weeks after beginning treatment.

At the 2007 American Association of Equine Practitioners Convention, held Dec. 1-5 in Orlando, Fla., Nora Matthews, DVM, Dipl. ACVA (anesthesiology specialist), professor of veterinary medicine at Texas A&M University, presented a review of pain medications commonly used to manage pain after operations and for chronic conditions. \"\" Early, aggressive treatment minimizes chronic pain, and early treatment requires less total drug,\"\" she noted. Drugs are often combined in what's termed a balanced or multimodal approach in order to gain the benefits of multiple methods of action with lower doses and, ideally, fewer side effects. There are many ways to give pain medications to a horse, including the following: Intravenously (IV);Intramuscularly (IM);Subcutaneously (SQ/SC);Orally (PO);Via epidural injection (into the spinal canal but outside the spinal cord);Transdermally (through the skin); and Through continuous rate infusion (CRI, which is an IV at a low, constant dose). Matthews described several drug classes and routes, individual drug options within those classes, and their benefits as follows. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) These are effective for pain caused by inflammation and are often used in multimodal approaches. Common examples include phenylbutazone (Bute), flunixin meglumine (Banamine), meloxicam, carprofen, and the newer transdermally applied medication diclofenac (Surpass). Most can be used IV or PO, but they can have significant side effects, especially at high doses and when dehydration occurs."

Go to: Abstract The anaesthetic ketamine is used to treat various chronic pain syndromes, especially those that have a neuropathic component. Low dose ketamine produces strong analgesia in neuropathic pain states, presumably by inhibition of the N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor although other mechanisms are possibly involved, including enhancement of descending inhibition and anti-inflammatory effects at central sites. Current data on short term infusions indicate that ketamine produces potent analgesia during administration only, while three studies on the effect of prolonged infusion (4–14 days) show long-term analgesic effects up to 3 months following infusion. The side effects of ketamine noted in clinical studies include psychedelic symptoms (hallucinations, memory defects, panic attacks), nausea/vomiting, somnolence, cardiovascular stimulation and, in a minority of patients, hepatoxicity. The recreational use of ketamine is increasing and comes with a variety of additional risks ranging from bladder and renal complications to persistent psychotypical behaviour and memory defects. Blind extrapolation of these risks to clinical patients is difficult because of the variable, high and recurrent exposure to the drug in ketamine abusers and the high frequency of abuse of other illicit substances in this population."

Moore, Pharm D, BCPSAssistant Professor Clinical & Administrative Pharmacy Sciences Howard University College of Pharmacy Washington, DCUS Pharm. 2015;40 (1): HS5-HS10. ABSTRACT: Peripheral neuropathy is a serious condition characterized by symmetrical, distal damage to the peripheral nerves that may be caused by several classes of drugs, including chemotherapeutic agents. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an adverse effect estimated to occur in up to 40% of patients undergoing chemotherapy, with its incidence increasing in patients being treated with multiple agents. Pharmacists play a pivotal role in the prevention and management of CIPN by recommending evidence-based pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic strategies appropriate for the individual patient. Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a systemic disease characterized by symmetrical, distal damage to the peripheral nerves that negatively impacts patient quality of life (QOL). 1,2 Prolonged symptoms associated with PN can cause pain, interfere with functional ability (e.g., dressing, driving, house-work), and disrupt emotional health. 3The presentation of PN varies according to the type of nerve fibers affected. 4 Sensory nerve damage may manifest as sensations of numbness, tingling, stinging, pain, weakness, or burning that occur in a “stocking and glove” distribution throughout the lower extremities and hands. 1,4 Additional sensory manifestations include a feeling of “walking on pins and needles,” altered pain threshold, and changes in temperature sensitivity."

Medical technology is constantly changing, and we reserve the right to review and update our policies periodically. Description Iontophoresis is a method of transdermal local drug delivery using electrical current. A charged, ionic drug is placed on the skin with an electrode of the same charge, allowing direct current to drive the drug into the skin. Ultrasound transdermal delivery involves the use of ultrasonic energy to enhance delivery of solutes either simultaneously or via pre-treatment, and is referred to as sonopheresis or phonophoresis. Background Iontophoresis may take advantage of sweat ducts, sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and imperfections in the skin to achieve penetration. Alternatively, electrical potential across the skin could alter its permeability, possible creating potential-dependent pores in lipid bilayer membranes. It has been proposed for numerous uses, including delivering local anesthetic before skin puncture or other painful dermal procedure, local drug delivery for agents such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or corticosteroids for musculoskeletal inflammatory disorders. In the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, iontophoresis is often offered in the physical medicine and rehabilitation setting."

"text": "\"Hallucinogens Hallucinogens are a broad class of drugs that induce visual and auditory hallucinations and cause profound changes in the perception of time and space, emotions, and consciousness. These drugs can be naturally occurring, such as psilocybin mushrooms, morning glory seeds, and peyote cactus (mescaline), or chemically synthesized, such as phencyclidine (commonly known as PCP or angel dust) ketamine, dizocilpine, LSD, and MDMA (commonly known as Molly or ecstasy). Definition Hallucinogens are drugs that cause hallucinations—profound distortions in a person's perceptions of reality, including delusions and false notions. In this state, people see images, hear sounds, and feel sensations that seem real but do not exist. Hallucinogens produce rapid, intense mood swings with transitions so fast the user may feel several emotions simultaneously. Hallucinogens can cause physiological symptoms such as increased heart rate and blood pressure, and may induce convulsions and seizures when used at high doses. The effects of hallucinogens are more unpredictable than those of other drugs and vary greatly from person to person. The range of effects depends on a variety of factors: the amount ingested; the user's personality, mood and expectations; the setting of use; whether the user is alone or with other people; and whether the substance is ingested in conjunction with other drugs or alcohol. Hallucinogenic drugs have played a role in human life for thousands of years. Numerous indigenous cultures around the world have used hallucinogenic plants to induce states of detachment from reality, to precipitate \"\"visions\"\" or mystical insight, as medicines, and as adjuncts social or religious rituals."

Deborah Brauser June 06, 2013Serial infusions of the N -methly-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist ketamine at a lower dosage than commonly used may be more effective than a single infusion in reducing symptoms of depression, new research suggests. A small study of 10 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) showed that half achieved remission after receiving up to 4 intravenous (IV) infusions of ketamine 0.5 mg/kg twice weekly. Of those who experienced remission, 2 had sustained improvement 4 weeks later. In addition, overall scores on 2 different suicidal ideation measures were significantly decreased post infusion. And there were no significant increases in adverse events reported between baseline and post treatment. \"\" It's surprising both that [this treatment] works and how rapidly it has effects,\"\" said coinvestigator Timothy Lineberry, MD, from the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, in a release. \"\" It sometimes can work in hours to reduce depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. Our goal is to begin to determine how the drug can be administered safely in routine treatment,\"\" said Dr. Lineberry. The investigators add that future ketamine-for-depression research should also focus on determining the optimal frequency of infusions, test relapse prevention strategies, and optimal dosing parameters."

"text": "In Part I we reviewed the basic advantages of effective perioperative, multimodal pain control. Analgesics coupled with sedative/tranquilizers provide a more comfortable patient experience, reduce induction and maintenance agent requirements, and generally improve patient morbidity and mortality. Multimodal techniques reduce the dose of each individual drug which, in turn, reduces the potential for adverse drug effects. The pain pathway is a tinderbox. Once in flames, it is difficult to put out. Intervening before the pain system becomes sensitized is an absolute necessity when your goal is optimal patient benefit. Perioperative pain management planning is most effective, and the outcome is more attractive, when each patient is looked upon as an individual. No single protocol, no single drug dose, could possibly be consistently safe and effective across the broad spectrum that comprises the veterinary patient pool. Advanced anesthesia and pain management is partially an art, not simply a mathematical exercise. Patient variables suggesting that higher drug doses should be considered include younger age, smaller size, excitable nature, and good health."

"text": "\"What Is Prilosec (Omeprazole)?88 Reviews | Get Coupons Prilosec is the brand name of the drug omeprazole, which is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD happens when acid from the stomach flows backward into the esophagus (the tube between the throat and the stomach). It can cause heartburn and injure the esophagus. Prilosec is also used to treat erosive esophagitis and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (a condition in which the stomach produces too much acid). And Prilosec may be used to prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding in critically ill patients, and is part of the treatment for an infection of Helicobacter pylori, a type of bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. Prilosec is in a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). These medicines block production of stomach acid. The medicine is available in a prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) form. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989. Prilosec Warnings You should take Prilosec exactly as prescribed or as directed on the OTC package label."

It's available as both a prescription medicine and an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine. Prescription Pepcid is used to treat conditions such as ulcers (sores in the stomach lining or small intestine), gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD (when stomach acid irritates the esophagus, causing heartburn and other problems), and certain tumors in the pancreas or the small intestine (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome). Pepcid sold OTC is used to help prevent and treat heartburn symptoms, such as indigestion or having a sour stomach after eating foods and drinking beverages that disagree with you. Pepcid belongs to a class of drug called histamine-2 or H2 blockers, which work by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave Marathon Pharmaceuticals approval to market prescription Pepcid in 1986. Many companies market OTC famotidine. Pepcid for Dogs and Cats Although Pepcid is not approved for veterinary use, veterinarians do commonly give the medication to dog and cats to suppress stomach acid if they are producing too much. In one study, researchers compared famotidine with three other gastric-acid suppressants in 12 healthy beagles. The others included ranitidine ( Zantac ), pantoprazole (Protonix), and omeprazole (Prilosec)."

Making sense of your medication choices for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can make it even worse. Two of the most commonly prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are omeprazole (Prilosec) and esomeprazole (Nexium). Both are now available as over-the-counter drugs. Take a closer look at both to see what benefits one medication may offer over the other. About PPIs Why PPIs work Proton pumps are enzymes found in the parietal cells of your stomach. They make hydrochloric acid, the main ingredient of stomach acid. Your body needs stomach acid for digestion. However, when the muscle between your stomach and esophagus doesn’t close properly, this acid can end up in your esophagus. This causes the burning feeling in your chest and throat associated with GERD."

A helicobacter pylori infection usually does not produce any symptoms but can include nausea, vomiting, burning pain in the stomach and bloating. Treatment of the infection usually includes a proton pump inhibitor, such as omeprazole (Prilosec, Omesec) or lansoprazole (Prevacid) and two antibiotics. Typically clarithromycin (Biaxin) is combined with amoxicillin (Moxatag, Disper Mox) or metronidazole (Flagyl) for effective elimination of the bacteria. The medications are administered for 7 to 14 days for effective treatment. Many side effects are associated with these medications.

H pylori negative, no blood in the stool, no vomiting, occasional nausea. Protonix gives me 50 -75% relief, the rest of the time I eat like crazy to get rid of the discomfort, so much so that I've gained 20 pounds. The doctor believes it's a duodenal ulcer but I get the feeling the doctors don't take me seriously unless I have blood in my stool or vomit, which I don't. I passed on having the scope exam because of the risk of perforation and signing my rights away with a waiver. They seem to be reluctant to do the safe, oldfashioned upper GI. Anyway, after looking at this site it seems I have seen every symptom of an ulcer represented here EXCEPT the gnawing hunger pangs that I experience. After 3 years, could this be a psychological problem? These gnawing hunger pangs are so powerful that it would make it virtually impossible to go on a diet to shed some of this weight I've gained. Has anyone here experienced this symptom in the absence of any other symptoms that has an ulcer?"

Prilosec is available in generic form. Side effects of Prilosec include:headache,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,stomach pain,gas,constipation,fever, orcold symptoms ( stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat ). The recommended adult oral dose of Prilosec ranges from 20 mg to 60 mg once daily, depending on the condition being treated. For maximal efficacy, Prilosec tablets should be taken before meals, swallowed whole and should not be crushed, chewed or opened. Prilosec potentially can increase the concentrations in blood of diazepam (Valium), warfarin (Coumadin), and phenytoin (Dilantin) by decreasing the elimination of these drugs by the liver. The absorption of certain drugs may be affected by stomach acidity, and, as a result, Prilosec and other PPIs that reduce stomach acid also reduce the absorption and concentration in blood of ketoconazole (Nizoral) and increase the absorption and concentration in blood of digoxin (Lanoxin). Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using Prilosec; it is unknown if it will harm a fetus. Prilosec passes into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby.

America’s favorite heartburn drugs are in trouble because of a new study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine (online, January 11, 2016). The research suggests that regular use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) “is associated with a higher risk of incident CKD [chronic kidney disease].”This new investigation adds to the growing list of serious complications associated with drugs like dexlansoprazole ( Dexilant ), esomeprazole ( Nexium ), lansoprazole ( Prevacid ), omeprazole ( Prilosec ), rabeprazole ( Aciphex) and pantoprazole ( Protonix ).

usually used with other drugs to counteract this effect Dangerous when used with renal failure—the failing kidney cannot excrete extra magnesium, resulting in accumulation Examples Hydroxide salt: magnesium hydroxide (MOM) Carbonate salt: Gaviscon (also a combination product) Combination products such as Maalox, Mylanta (aluminum and magnesium)Antacids: Calcium Salts Many forms, but carbonate is most common May cause constipation, kidney stones Also not recommended for patients with renal disease—may accumulate to toxic levels Long duration of acid action—may cause increased gastric acid secretion (hyperacidity rebound) Often advertised as an extra source of dietary calcium Example: Tums (calcium carbonate)Antacids: Sodium Bicarbonate Highly soluble Buffers the acidic properties of HCl Quick onset, but short duration May cause metabolic alkalosis Sodium content may cause problems in patients with HF, hypertension, or renal insufficiency Antacids and Antiflatulent Antiflatulents: used to relieve the painful symptoms associated with gas Drugs are used to bind or alter intestinal gas and are often added to antacid combination products OTC antiflatulents Activated charcoal Simethicone Alters elasticity of mucus-coated bubbles, causing them to break Used often, but there are limited data to support effectiveness Antacids: Adverse Effects Aluminum and calcium Constipation Magnesium Diarrhea Calcium carbonate Produces gas and belching; often combined with simethicone Antacids: Drug Interactions Adsorption of other drugs to antacids Reduces the ability of the other drug to be absorbed into the body Chelation Chemical binding, or inactivation, of another drug Produces insoluble complexes Result: reduced drug absorption Increased stomach p H Increased absorption of basic drugs Decreased absorption of acidic drugs Increased urinary p H Increased excretion of acidic drugs Decreased excretion of basic drugs Histamine 2 (H2) Antagonists Reduce acid secretion All available OTC in lower dosage forms Most popular drugs for treatment of acid-related disorders cimetidine (Tagamet) nizatidine (Axid) famotidine (Pepcid) ranitidine H2 Antagonists: Mechanism of Action Block histamine at the (H2) receptors of acid-producing parietal cells Production of hydrogen ions is reduced, resulting in decreased production of HCl H2 Antagonists: Drug Effect Suppressed acid secretion in the stomach H2 Antagonists: Indications GERD PUD Erosive esophagitis Adjunct therapy in control of upper GI bleeding Pathologic gastric hypersecretory conditions H2 Antagonists: Adverse Effects Overall, very few adverse effects Cimetidine may induce impotence and gynecomastia May see: Headaches, lethargy, confusion, diarrhea, urticaria, sweating, flushing H2 Antagonists: Drug Interactions cimetidine Binds with P-450 microsomal oxidase system in the liver, inhibiting oxidation of many drugs and increasing drug levels All H2 antagonists may inhibit the absorption of drugs that require an acidic GI environment for absorption Smoking has been shown to decrease the effectiveness of H2 blockers Proton Pump Inhibitors The parietal cells release positive hydrogen ions (protons) during HCl production This process is called the proton pump H2 blockers and antihistamines do not stop the action of this pump Proton Pump Inhibitors: Mechanism of Action Irreversibly bind to H+/K+ ATPase enzyme This bond prevents the movement of hydrogen ions from the parietal cell into the stomach Result: achlorhydria—gastric acid secretion is temporarily blocked In order to return to normal acid secretion, the parietal cells must synthesize new H+/K+ ATPase Proton Pump Inhibitors: Drug Effect Inhibition of gastric acid secretion lansoprazole (Prevacid) omeprazole (Prilosec)* rabeprazole (Aciphex) pantoprazole (Protonix) (IV form available) esomeprazole (Nexium) *The first in this new class of drugs Proton Pump Inhibitors: Indications GERD maintenance therapy Erosive esophagitis Short-term treatment of active duodenal and benign gastric ulcers Zollinger-Ellison syndrome Treatment of H. pylori-induced ulcers Administered with an antibiotic Proton Pump Inhibitors: Adverse Effects Adverse effects uncommon Other Drugs sucralfate (Carafate) misoprostol (Cytotec) simethicone (Mylicon)Sucralfate (Carafate) Cytoprotective drug Used for stress ulcers, PUD Attracted to and binds to the base of ulcers and erosions, forming a protective barrier over these areas Protects these areas from pepsin, which normally breaks down proteins (making ulcers worse) Little absorption from the gut May cause constipation, nausea, and dry mouth May impair absorption of other drugs—give other drugs at least 2 hours before sucralfate Do not administer with other medications Binds with phosphate;

Antacids and acid suppressing medications continue to increase in popularity as a treatment for troubled infant behavior assumed to be due to acid reflux. But are these medications helpful? Learn about the different types of medications that treat reflux, how they work and possible side effects. Rowena Bennett Registered Nurse Registered Midwife Child Health Nurse Mental Health Nurse IBCLCRowena over 20 years experience assisting parents to resolve well baby care problems.... View Profile What are antacids used for? Antacids and acid-suppressing medications are used in the treatment of heartburn associated with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The medical term for heartburn is esophagitis, which means inflammation of the esophagus. Most antacids and acid-suppressing medications do nothing to prevent the regurgitation of stomach contents back into the esophagus; rather the purpose of these medications is to neutralize or restrict the production of stomach acid, and thereby allow the esophagus to heal. How antacids work Different medications work in different ways."

Elyse Betters and Jake Smith| 30 December 2014Facebook Twitter Pintrest Linked In Google+ Mail 88 Comments Spotify has made some big changes to its platform in recent years, revamping the way its desktop and mobile applications work in order to attract more users. What is Spotify and how does it work? There have long been three tiers of Spotify listening: Free, Unlimited (£4.99 per month), and Premium (£9.99 per month). And they each offer different capabilities and limits, depending upon which device you are using to access Spotify. Although Unlimited is still available, Spotify began transitioning to a new setup last year. It includes the following plans: Mobile Free, Desktop & Tablet Free, Premium (£9.99 per month), and Spotify Family (up to 50 per cent off Spotify Premium for four people). The new plans do not change what the old tiers still offer. Just think of the new plans as a rebranding and a simplification of things, really. You're therefore probably wondering which tier or plan features what and whether you should even pay up."

Introduction Media Assignment The purpose of advertising is to inform or persuade people to purchase or donate money toward a product or service. Everyday we are bombarded by advertisements ranging from loans to credit cards and cars to motorcycles. Adverts that tell us to buy a product and adverts that are never subtle in their approach are classified as 'Hard sell' adverts. On the other hand, an advert that appeals to the better nature or the emotions of the audience is classified as 'Soft sell' adverts. The 2 adverts that I will be looking at are charity adverts. Charity advertisements depend largely on the emotions of the audience; therefore it is classed as 'soft sell' advertisement. The main target audience for charity advertisements are adults that have a disposable income and can afford to pay a donation monthly or yearly to the charity. The first advert I will look at is an advert for the charity 'Shelter'."

"text": "4 Different Types of Printed Advertising and What they can do for your Businessposted in Marketing on March 6, 2015 by Ivan Widjaya SHAREPrinted-media really is a fantastic way to showcase your business. Since the early beginnings of what is considered modern marketing, printed adverts have existed. While some may make the point that today’s markets are driven purely by the internet, there is still a big part of it that can be tapped into via print. Yes, it’s a valid point to make that the internet is a great way to create sales, but it doesn’t cover all your bases. For example if you are meeting clients and need to leave contact details, or if you want something to adorn your shop front or have in your company’s foyer – you’ll need something paper-based. So if you’ve yet to consider what print-media can do for you, or you’re looking to shake up your marketing campaigns, be sure to read this post. You’ll find four examples of the different types available and what they could potentially do for your business. Brochures and Guides A high-quality, glossy brochure or guide is a fantastic way to showcase your product offering to new customers and clients. Another advantage to these is they can be distributed out to people for them to use at a later point, or possibly pass on to others too. Photo credit: Company Folders Newspaper Adverts Well-placed and targeted newspaper adverts are very beneficial for exposing your brand."

For example, web hosting companies like Bluehost give away free domain names to customers who host their websites with them. The cost of the domain name is then recouped from the hosting fee.

Sexually appealing imagery may or may not pertain to the product or service in question. Examples of sexually appealing imagery include nudity, pin-up models, and muscular men. The axiom \"\" sex sells \"\" is often said as a shorthand to encapsulate this phenomenon. [ 1]In contemporary mainstream advertising (e.g., magazines, online, television), sex is present in promotional messages for a wide range of branded goods. Ads feature provocative images of well-defined women (and men) in revealing outfits and postures selling clothing, alcohol, beauty products, and fragrances. Advertisers such as Calvin Klein, Victoria's Secret, and Pepsi use these images to cultivate a ubiquitous sex-tinged media presence. Also, sexual information is used to promote mainstream products not traditionally associated with sex. For example, Dallas Opera 's recent reversal of its declining ticket sales has been attributed to the marketing of the more lascivious parts of its performances.

Initially released in 1994, the Saturn was a 32-bit compact disc-based system, and was a key player in what is now widely known as the fifth generation of video game consoles. The Saturn was first released on November 22, 1994 in Japan, May 11, 1995 in North America, and July 8, 1995 in Europe. Depending on where you live, the Saturn could be described as either Sega's most successful console of all time (Japan) or one of their biggest commercial failures (North America). Despite being powerful for its time, its complex hardware and inability to meet rapidly evolving consumer expectations and demands put it in a distant third place in the Western world, but a combination of 2D sprite games, 3D arcade ports and strong marketing campaigns made the Saturn the most successful Sega console in Japan. Estimates for the total number of Saturns sold worldwide range from 9.5 million to 17 million. [ 10]The Saturn's main competitors were Sony's Play Station released just a week after the Saturn in Japan, and the Nintendo 64 from September 1996."

"text": "Advertising your business can be a fast track way to let people know about your products and services. So what makes a good Ad? The simple answer to this question is impact. The reality is that with any advert, online, in print or outdoor the time you have to make an impression on your audience is limited to seconds, so your image and headline must have impact. It’s also worth remembering that in ad design less is more. A good advertisement will effectively target the right customers and market the benefits of what your business has to offer. It will make people want to act upon seeing it. A good ad should make you think, laugh, talk about it, or at least make you look twice. Having made the decision to invest in an ad campaign and buying the media space, SME’s are often tempted to ensure their advert is full to the brim with as much information as possible. However this just creates a cluttered, confusing ad, that can get lost among other similar amateur efforts, with no clear message hierarchy and information over-load."

"text": "\"Trulicity TV commercial with photographer bothers me, does it bother you?ramcewan PRO 2:39pm, 7 March 2016So there's these commercials I see on TV for a drug called Trulicity that is for type 2 diabetes that features a photographer named Jerry. The first one shows a studio scene where Jerry is taking a photo of a flower with a medium format camera, we then see a table with a rangefinder, lens and tripod which then rise up and begin disintegrating into the color of the injector. What bothers me in this scene is that neither the range finder or the lens have caps on them, something I just don't see a pro photographer doing, maybe leaving the cap off the rangefinder, but who puts a lens on a table with no caps?!?! Not only are there no caps but being a round lens on it's side it could fairly easily just roll off the table. Then we cut to Jerry wiping the front element of his medium format lens like he scrubbing dishes... not only does it bother me how hard and carelessly he is wiping the lens but in a studio setting one would imagine the lens would only require a puff of air to clear any dust off. The second commercial is even more irking for me. We see Jerry out in the field with a back pack of gear. He's hiking around a waterfall when he decides to take a shot of it, we see through the lens as he composes his shot with the waterfall in the background and focus on a branch and leaves in the foreground, it's ugly and poorly composed. To make matters worse he's shooting with what appears to be a Canon L telephoto (white and big), which doesn't seem like the right choice nor does it seem to match the field of view we see when he is focusing on the branch in the foreground with the waterfall bokeh'd out. The commercial then cuts to an osprey flying over a lake, and there's Jerry on the dock holding up his camera to take a shot with what clearly looks to be an ultra-wide angle zoom lens!?!?!"

"text": "7 Of The Most Expensive TV Advertising Campaigns Oliver Mallory 04.07.14 Most Expensive94Shares Share On Facebook The key to a successful brand is in its marketing! Many products survive in the market not because they are necessarily the best, but because there is a very powerful marketing campaign behind it. This is the reason why people are willing to pay higher prices for a trusted brand that has been marketed well. This trust is built, and the products are seen as superior goods. This explains the permanence of brands such as Coke, Ford, Wonga and many more. Of course these successful marketing campaigns don’t come free of charge as a lot of skill; talent and money are dedicated in the creation of many of these campaigns. This of course usually pays off in the long haul in terms of sales revenue and profit for the business. Many of the brands in this article are seen often on TV as TV is one of the most expensive forms of brand advertising out there (hence our hefty price tags.) You could get 100,000 interested visitors through paid marketing on the internet for the same price, but TV dominates the amount of people you can get to view your ad at once. This is a massive benefit to the brand/marketing agencies of today."

"text": "\"definition : feckless Feck (or, in some senses, fek or feic) has several vernacular meanings and variations in Hiberno-English, Scots and Middle English.==Modern English== * Slang expletive employed as an attenuated alternative (minced oath) to fuck to express disbelief, pain, anger, or contempt in a given situation. However, it does not mean to have sex with in the same way that fuck does, and those aware of this use consider it a lesser expletive than fuck. * Verb meaning 'to steal' (e.g., 'They had fecked cash out of the rector's room.') * Verb meaning in Irish slang 'to throw' (e.g., 'He's got no manners at all. I asked him nicely for the remote control, and he fecked it across the table at me. ') ==Scots and Late Middle English== Feck (or fek or feic) is a form of effeck, which is in turn the Scots cognate of the modern English word effect. However, this Scots noun has additional significance: # Efficacy; force; value; return # Amount; quantity (or a large amount/quantity) # The greater or larger part (when used with a definite article)From the first sense we derive feckless, meaning witless, weak or ineffective; worthless; irresponsible; indifferent; lazy. Feckless remains a part of the Modern English and Scottish English lexicons; it appears in a number of Scottish adages::\"\"Feckless folk are aye fain o ane anither. \"\":\"\" Feckless fools should keep canny tongues. \"\" In his 1881 short story Thrawn Janet, Robert Louis Stevenson invokes the second sense of feck as cited above::\"\"He had a feck o' books wi' him—mair than had ever been seen before in a' that presbytery...\"\"Robert Burns uses the third sense of feck in the final stanza of his 1792 poem \"\"Kellyburn Braes\"\":: I hae been a Devil the feck o' my life, : Hey, and the rue grows bonie wi' thyme; :\"\"But ne'er was in hell till I met wi' a wife,\"\" : And the thyme it is wither'd, and rue is in prime==Debate about the word's level of offensiveness== Magners Irish Cider have received complaints relating to an advert in which a man tells bees to \"\"feck off\"\": members of the public were concerned that young children could be badly influenced by seeing this advert."

Doesn’t that show how unfair the world is? Or given that the poorest 100 million will have negative assets, doesn’t it just show how easily statistics can be manipulated for Oxfam press releases? They’re at it again today: the same story, every January. “ Almost half of the world’s wealth is owned by just 1% of the world’s population” it said in 2014. It has done variants on that theme ever year, each time selling it as a new “big” story. All peddling the impression that inequality is getting worse, that the rich are engorging themselves at the expense of the poorest. This narrative (which is discredited as it is old ) suits Oxfam’s fundraisers. ( Rich dudes hoard power! “ Even it up” by giving Oxfam money!)"

You need to take care because some methods of breaking a lease may involve costs.this page Mutual consent When the landlord is in breach Assignment Hardship Giving up possession Costs Managing the costsresources Breaking a lease fact sheet [pdf 37KB]Mutual consent Any tenancy agreement can be ended by ‘mutual agreement’ between the landlord and tenant. We strongly advise that you get the agreement in writing, and that it states that you will not be liable for any additional costs or compensation for breaking the lease. You and your landlord or agent should sign the agreement. Make sure you keep a copy. When the landlord is in breach If your landlord is in breach of any of their ‘duties’ under the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 you may be able to end your tenancy early. This applies if the landlord:hasn’t made sure the property was reasonably clean and vacant when you were supposed to move indoesn’t make sure you have ‘quiet enjoyment’ of the propertydoesn’t keep the property in good repairdoesn’t provide locks that secure external doors and windows, or doesn’t give you a key when they change a lockdoesn’t replace a faulty water appliance with an A-rated appliance To end your tenancy before the end of the fixed term for any of the above breaches of duty by the landlord, there are certain steps that you need to take. The first step is to send your landlord a Breach of Duty Notice to inform them that they must fix the problem (and if appropriate, pay you compensation) within 14 days. If the landlord fails to do so, you can apply to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for a Compliance Order. If the landlord doesn’t abide by the Compliance Order, you can send them a 14-day Notice of Intention to Vacate."

(AP) — A wildfire northeast of Bakersfield burning in steep terrain has destroyed eight homes and 10 other structures, authorities said, but residents of some 200 homes under evacuation orders were allowed to return home Wednesday evening. The blaze near Lake Isabella was 15 percent contained after scorching about 5 square miles, Kern County Fire Capt. Derek Tisinger said. Firefighters working in drought conditions continued building containment lines after stopping the spread of the flames, and danger remained. \"\" There's still huge potential here, especially with the dry weather,\"\" Tisinger said. \"\" We're not out of the woods yet. \"\" +16Firefighters extinguish a fire burning in a downed tree on the approach to Taylor Mountain a day after the Junction fire swept across Highway 41 in Oakhurst, Calif. on Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2014. ( AP Photo/The Fresno Bee, Eric Paul Zamora)Eight single-family homes and 10 outbuildings have been destroyed since the fire broke out on Monday, he said. All evacuation orders and road closures were canceled at 4 p.m. Wednesday, the U. S. Forest Service said in a statement. The cause of the fire about 50 miles from Bakersfield was under investigation."

"text": "Service Tax- Guide for taking Credit“INPUT SERVICES – CENVAT CREDIT”Decisions in Coca Cola and ABB clears mist over definition of ‘input service’Definition of ‘input service’ is very wide. Any service in relation to business is input service. Any relation to ‘manufacture’ or ‘provision of service’ is really of required. However, department was taking a restricted view and even n case of many decisions of Tribunal, restricted view was taken. Recent decisions of division bench of Mumbai high Court in case of Coca Cola and of 3 member large bench of Tribunal in case of ABB has cleared the mist and has brought out true interpretation of the term ‘input service’. In Coca Cola India v. CCE (2009) 22 STT 130 (Bom HC DB) and ABB Ltd. v. CCE (2009) 21 STT 77 = 15 STR 23 (CESTAT 3 member bench), various aspects of definition of ‘input service’ have been clarified’.1 Definition of input service Rule 2 (l) of Cenvat Credit Rules reads as follows –“Input service” means any service –used by a provider of taxable service for providing an output service; orused by the manufacturer, whether directly or indirectly, in or in relation to the manufacture of final products and clearance of final products, upto the place of removal; (The words ‘from the place of removal’ have been replaced by ‘, upto the place of removal’ w.e.f. 1-4-2008).and includes services used in relation to setting up, modernization, renovation or repairs of a factory, premises of provider of output service or an office relating to such factory or premises, advertisement or sales promotion, market research, storage upto the place of removal, procurement of inputs, activities relating to business, such as accounting, auditing, financing, recruitment and quality control, coaching and training, computer networking, credit rating, share registry and security, inward transportation of inputs or capital goods and outward transportation upto the place of removal.1-1 Analysis of the definition The definition of ‘input service’ is broadly in two parts – first i.e. main part and second i.e. inclusive part. First part of the definition is restrictive in scope as it covers input services directly or indirectly used for providing output service or used in relation to manufacture or clearance of final product. However, second i.e. inclusive part of the definition expands the scope much beyond the coverage of first part. The inclusive part itself is of two sub-parts."

The National Football Conference (NFC) champion Philadelphia Eagles defeated the American Football Conference (AFC) and defending Super Bowl LI champion New England Patriots, 41–33, to win their first Super Bowl [10] and their first NFL title since 1960. The game was played on February 4, 2018, at U. S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. [ 11] This was the second time that a Super Bowl was played in Minneapolis, the northernmost city to ever host the event, after Super Bowl XXVI at the Metrodome during the 1991 season, [12] and the sixth Super Bowl held in a cold-weather city. [ 13]New England finished the regular season with an AFC-best 13–3 record, then extended their record Super Bowl appearances to ten, their third in four years, and their eighth under the leadership of head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Philadelphia also finished the regular season with an NFC-best 13–3 record, a year after Dallas did it in 2016, but became underdogs entering the playoffs after starting quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a season-ending injury late in the regular season and was replaced by journeyman backup Nick Foles. Still, the Eagles advanced to their third Super Bowl appearance, having previously lost to the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV and to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX. Several records were set during Super Bowl LII, including most yards gained in an NFL game by both teams combined (1,151), the fewest punts from both teams in a Super Bowl (one), and the most points scored by a Super Bowl losing team (33).

Under RERA, it has become compulsory for developers to obtain all requisite approvals from different government agencies before they can reveal the project to the public. The developers have to display all the information relating to the project on appropriate website of State RERA Authority established under RERA. The primary benefit of RERA is the simplification of procedure to file a complaint in RERA Authority. Previously, homebuyers could file a complaint with the Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions (CDRC), which took ample amount of time in disposing of complaint for possession delay. The RERA regime makes it faster to file a complaint and take action against the builder for possession delay. How to file a complaint in RERA? Any person who has invested in a real estate project or has some legal interest in it can file a complaint in RERA."

Terms of the agreement, first reported here October 21, were not disclosed. Sources said negotiations to finalize the deal ran late into the night Thursday in order to meet the goal of a November 1 deadline. Tribune Publishing paid cash for the suburban newspapers, insiders said, which include the Aurora Beacon-News, Elgin Courier-News, Lake County News-Sun, Naperville Sun, Post-Tribune in Northwest Indiana, Southtown Star and the 32 Pioneer Press weekly newspapers. They now become part of Chicago Tribune Media Group, which operates the Chicago Tribune, Red Eye, Chicago magazine and Hoy, among other brands. “We’re excited and thrilled to add these iconic titles to the Chicago Tribune Media Group,” Tony Hunter, chief executive officer of Chicago Tribune Media Group, said in an interview Friday. “ We believe it’s an opportunity for growth.

Perhaps with the exception of the NFL 's Chicago Bears, each of the city's major professional sports franchises, along with several area collegiate teams, have had their games regularly televised over channel 9. Cubs and White Sox baseball [ edit]The station's relationship with the Chicago Cubs traces back to channel 9's inception in April 1948, and was further cemented during the 28 years (from 1981 to 2009) that the Tribune Company owned the National League franchise. At the same time, channel 9 was also broadcasting games from Chicago's American League team, the White Sox. Jack Brickhouse, the longtime sports director (and later, vice president of sports programming) for the WGN television and radio stations, handled play-by-play announcing duties for the home games of both teams until 1967, when the White Sox ended their first stint on WGN-TV, and continued to call Cubs games until his retirement from broadcasting in 1981. With both teams, Brickhouse called over 5,000 baseball games during his career, sharing the booth with announcers such as Milo Hamilton, Lou Boudreau, Vince Lloyd and Lloyd Pettit. Over the years, the number of Cubs games on WGN gradually decreased (down to 70 per season by 2008, which by that time were split between WGN-TV and WCIU-TV) as it began sharing the rights to the Cubs as well as the White Sox with regional cable sports networks (including Sports Channel Chicago, later FSN Chicago, and presently with Comcast Sports Net Chicago when that network launched in 2006), culminating with Tribune's $845 million sale of the team to Thomas S. Ricketts (son of TD Ameritrade founder J. Joseph Ricketts) in August 2009. ["

The pillows are manufactured in Chanhassen, Minnesota and became famous through the use of TV infomercials. It’s an interesting product and one which has clearly been successful in the retail market. What is My Pillow Filled With? My Pillow is filled with polyurethane foam. What makes it somewhat unique is that the foam is shredded into different sized pieces and shapes. Interestingly, this concept is not unlike a traditional buckwheat pillow that has been around for thousands of years. The small pieces allow the pillow to be re-shaped to conform to the body, similar to cup-shaped buckwheat hulls. Irregularly-shaped fill provides a distinct advantage over most pillow fills."

If properly created and managed, a PPC campaign on Amazon can help you sell more inventory faster, while increasing your organic rankings as well. That’s a great deal, right? On top of that, Amazon’s sponsored ads program is quite simplistic, especially considering that it is developed by a $278 billion dollar tech firm (I don’t mean to bite the hand that feeds, sorry Bezos…. ) The simplicity of Amazon’s advertising platform is a double-edged sword, but let’s try to make it something that works for us.

"text": "Inside Twitter’s ads: $120,000 per day for Promoted Trendsby Lauren Fisher — Jun 13, 2011 in Twitter6 69shares The actual cost of an advertising campaign on Twitter has always been somewhat shrouded in mystery with large campaigns run without direct figures revealed. Well now they have and it’s a huge $120,000 per day to run a Promote Trend on the site. Which, according to Business Insider, is up from the $30,000 per day they cost last year. While this is clearly good news for Twitter, it’s bad news for small businesses, with the minimum ad spend required overall on Twitter sitting at $15,000 over 3 months, making this pretty much a no-go for those with limited ad budgets. $5,000 per month on advertising via a relatively new and unproven platform is too much for many small businesses. Opening up to small businesses? While the chief of revenue states the minimum ad spend is $15,000 over 3 months, this could change as Twitter has just announced it’s introducing a self-serve ad system by the end of the year. While to book ads on Twitter you currently have to go through an online form and sales rep, by the end of the year they will have a system in place that functions a lot more like Facebook or Google ads, which is open to any advertisers. Though Twitter hasn’t confirmed if there will be a minimum spend required, this is certainly a step in the right direction, opening up its potential revenue stream to a lot more advertisers, with less strain on its internal sales department. The only thing now of course, is for Twitter to determine which ad model is right for them, when it will effectively relinquish a lot of control over who gets to advertise on the site."

This infographic from the Wall Street Journal takes a look at what money invested in a Facebook Sponsored Story could buy you instead…Source: The Wall Street Journal Last year, Facebook launched its Sponsored Stories ad platform, letting advertisers rebroadcast people's positive posts on the site's main news feed to highlight them. Advertisers pay a rate based on impressions, or views those posts get. While advertisers can directly track the return from ads on Google and Yahoo, Facebook mostly doesn't permit third-party surveys on its site or allow ads to be tagged with \"\"cookies,\"\" software that tracks what people do online after seeing an ad. To produce this infographic, The Wall Street Journal used data from a ‘top media buying agencies’ to calculate the current cost of ad formats across different mediums. Facebook charges advertisers $8 each time a Sponsored Story’ is viewed 1,000 times in the main news feed, meaning that if an ad generated 125 million views (or impressions) it would cost the advertiser $1m. According to the sources quoted by the WSJ, this $1m could also buy:• Two 30 second commercials on Americal Idol slot on the US Network Fox.

"text": "Advertising costs How much do I have to pay to advertise on Facebook? This question is somewhat hard to answer since the cost depends on the competition. If there are many advertisers aiming towards the same demographics as you, the prices go up and if you’re alone, advertising becomes a lot cheaper. This, however, doesn’t mean there’s no way to eliminate high advertising costs – on the contrary. If you understand how Facebook works, you’ll be able to lower your Facebook ad spending considerably. But then again, your goal shouldn’t be to see this as a cost at all. Facebook advertising can yield good return on investment, but to reach there, these are the things you should consider before setting your Facebook advertising budget and going live with your campaign. Facebook Ads Cost Models When advertising on Facebook you can choose between two cost models: CPC: Cost per click CPM: Cost per thousand impressions (M = thousand in Latin)CPC simply means that you pay when someone clicks on the ad while CPM means that you pay for each 1,000 people who have seen it. Both cost models use a bidding system – an auction – and the cost depends on what other advertisers are willing to pay for clicks or impressions from the same demographic. Again, in areas where there are a lot of advertisers competing for the same demographic, which is defined by your targeting preferences such as country, gender, age, interests etc.,"

That advice? Build your “platform. ”As a recent MFA graduate who’s wading into the world of publishing, I’ve been counseled to start a blog, scare up a couple thousand Facebook friends, consider Twitter. This pressure to promote myself, in addition to writing a book and working full-time, could break my will, make me consider giving up writing altogether. Except that my full-time job is at an ad agency, and for the last six of the almost twenty years I’ve been in this business, I’ve worked at a company that specializes in digital media. So I feel lucky to recognize this advice about “platform building” for what it is: bullshit. Conventional wisdom in the publishing industry suggests that a robust online presence, maintained by an author, will compensate for a non-existent marketing budget and that some uncoachable mix of wit and digital luck can propel an author from obscurity to fame. The reality is that successful online marketing, just like successful offline marketing, is driven by money. A social media presence with no cash behind it doesn’t do much for the average author when it comes to selling books, and squandering precious hours on building a platform that few people will ever see—hours that could otherwise be spent writing—is a mistake that can hurt your productivity and, therefore, your career."

Professors Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein of the ESCP European Business School define social media as “a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content. ” Social media websites and applications allow users to create and exchange user-generated content where people talk, share information, participate and network through technologies such as blogs and social networking sites.

It’s still going strong despite being created back in the 90s, thanks to its simple design and intuitive system of organizing advertisements by region (so you can shop closer to home). Shopping with classified ads also takes some of the hassles out of using more self-contained online marketplaces, such as paying service fees or worrying about someone else having to hold onto your personal or financial information. However, this means that you have to do more of the legwork when it comes to buying or selling, and Craigslist likely won’t come to your rescue if a deal goes sour. Whatever you’re looking for in a classified advertisement portal to help you buy or sell stuff, hopefully you’ll find it in one of these 10 other websites like Craigslist.1. Kijiji ( www.kijiji.ca)Now known in the United States as Close5 (formerly e Bay Classifieds), Kijiji is Craigslist’s biggest rival in Canada.

Once you have a winning offer, I recommend doing direct media buys on websites (if they don't have a footer link called 'advertise' then email and ask them if they can place your banner and you pay them via Pay Pal). You also want to look at the type of traffic on your target website. Are they interested in your product?

Figures of Speech : Enthymeme Examples Search Enthymeme Examples Enthymeme is one of the most frequently used rhetorical devices in English language that have been in vogue ever since the time of Aristotle. Also called as rhetorical syllogism, this technique employs subtle art of persuasion to engage one's emotions, reasoning, and morals by virtue of rhetoric. It is an informally stated reasoning that deliberately omits one part of the deduction - the premise or the conclusion - and is often based on probabilities, examples, signs or indications. Usually the conclusions are not explicit and at times, it might tax your ability to figure out the hidden connotation behind it. The usage of enthymemes is extensive in humor and is commonly employed in advertorials. All said and done, enthymemes aren't always inexplicit. At times there are major assumptions written largely over it. Enthymeme was first used in Standard English sometime during the early part of 19th century and is still prominently used in our day-to-day life."

January 14th, 2015If you have ever explored the retail world of online skin care products, Ellen Degeneres seems to be the ultimate authority on wrinkles. Who knew the talk show host had endorsed so many different products. Ellen isn’t the only one whose image is being used to unknowingly endorse products. Some also feature Sandra Bullock and a variety of other celebrities. These pictures, which pop up on your email page or are found when you are surfing the web, are found on sites that look very similar to widely read celebrity magazines, such as Women’s Health, Good Housekeeping, and Shape but actually aren’t those sites. Instead, these have different URLs and the celebrity images are actually just an advertorial for a variety of skin creams that the celebrities likely haven’t endorsed. ( Ellen has addressed one such site using her image and unapproved endorsement to sell skin serum, which she declines to name but refers to as Garbage Water .) Other than blatantly imitating actual magazines, there are several other red flags that appear on all of these sites. The Facebook comments found in the comments section on the site raving about how great the products are should be viewed with suspicion."

As a company, Coca-Cola constantly changes, rebrands, advertises for and presents their products in order to keep sales consistently high. Since the dawn of social networking, the green movement and the ability to stay constant connected to the Internet, Coca-Cola has continually harnessed new technology in a variety of ways to further the brand. Greener Bottles Coca-Cola introduced greener bottles and packaging in 2009, producing 2.5 billion of their products using less petroleum. The practice has been so successful that other companies, such as Heinz, have harnessed this technology to create greener packaging as well. While the 2009 production represents only three percent of Coca-Cola's packaging, the movement continues to grow, as billions of cases of Coca-Cola products are shipped globally each year. Social Networking Coca-Cola maintains a visible appearance on Facebook and other social networking sites such as Twitter. With over 34 million fans as of 2011, Coca-Cola harnesses the power of social networking to spread the word concerning new products, test advertorial campaigns, invite users to play games and associate Coca-Cola products with positive feelings. Using social networking technology enables a brand to stay young, fresh and current. Freestyle Dispensers Coca-Cola began rolling out its freestyle dispensers in late 2010 and early 2011."

Link building has fundamentally changed. Many types of link building activities that have previously been effective are now either short-term strategies or no longer considered best SEO practice. As a result, companies and clients alike are seeking to understand how certain forms of link building can be translated into longer-term content marketing campaigns. The purpose of this post is to help you develop a framework on how to start building a content marketing strategy for your or your client's site. Why should you care about content marketing? According to a Content Marketing Institute (CMI) 2013 Survey, 86% of B2C (business to consumer) companies are planning to keep or increase their current content marketing spending this year. 54% of B2B (business to business) companies are planning to increase their content marketing spending in 2013. Knowing that the demand for content marketing is increasing, it's worth investing resources to start researching and learning more about the opportunities content marketing can bring to a site. The growth of content marketing is also a concept that Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures agrees with."

Is it an ad? In determining whether something is an advertising or marketing communication, Ad Standards will look at four key things: Is it something broadcast, published or done by an advertiser? The definition is very broad and covers much more than traditional advertisements. Activities undertaken by an advertiser, such as street performance, may well be considered an advertising or marketing communication. Is it under the reasonable control of an advertiser? Even if there is no payment involved in the creation or placement of the communication, such as a Facebook post on an advertiser’s own Facebook page, Ad Standards will consider something an advertisement if it is something the advertiser is able to control. Does it draw the attention of the public to promote or oppose something?"

With the average cost of a nursing home in the UK is £738 per week - £40,000 per year can be very difficult to find. However, there are things you can do to avoid paying care home fees. Andrew Farley of specialist care funding solicitors, Farley Dwek, said full funding is available on the NHS, but very few people know about it:\"\"Some people are eligible for some level of funding from the local authority but this is means tested and the thresholds are very low. \"\" This means that to qualify for long term care funding, you need to be in receipt of a low income and own little to no assets. \"\" Anyone who owns their own home is usually exempt, and families are often forced to sell the home to cover the cost of care. \"\" However, most people are unaware that they may qualify for free long-term care from the NHS. This is known as NHS Continuing Care and it is not means tested, so it doesn’t matter if you own your home or are in receipt of a high income. \"\" Continuing Care assessments are based on your parent’s healthcare needs and include things like how mobile or immobile they are, the severity of their condition and the complexity of their medication. \"\" Only 58,000 people currently receive continuing care funding but we believe more than 150,000 are actually entitled to it. \"\""

Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Propaganda techniques Common media for transmitting propaganda messages include news reports, government reports, books, leaflets, movies, radio, television, and posters. In the case of radio and television, propaganda can exist on news, current-affairs or talk-show segments, as advertising or public-service announce \"\"spots\"\" or as long-running advertorials. Propaganda campaigns often follow a strategic transmission pattern to indoctrinate the target group. This may begin with a simple transmission such as a leaflet dropped from a plane or an advertisement. Generally these messages will contain directions on how to obtain more information, via a web site, hot line, radio program, etc.. The strategy intends to initiate the individual from information recipient to information seeker through reinforcement, and then from information seeker to opinion leader through indoctrination. A number of techniques based in social psychological research are used to generate propaganda. Many of these same techniques can be found under logical fallacies, since propagandists use arguments that, while sometimes convincing, are not necessarily valid. Some time has been spent analyzing the means by which propaganda messages are transmitted."

"text": "Active ingredient in Tylenol vs Advil The active ingredient in Advil is ibuprofen, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. On the other hand, the active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol), an analgesic and an antipyretic agent. Advil and Tylenol in a drug store. What Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen are Best Suited For Both ibuprofen and acetaminophen are anti-pyretic (fever reducing drugs). However, some studies indicate that ibuprofen has a slight edge in this area. Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) is also better for certain types of pain and inflammation — back pain, menstrual cramps, sore muscles, toothaches and earaches. A review published in the British Medical Journal concluded that:paracetamol [aka acetaminophen or Tylenol] is ineffective in reducing pain and disability or improving quality of life in patients with low back pain.paracetamol [aka acetaminophen or Tylenol] offers a small but not clinically important benefit for pain and disability reduction in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritispatients taking paracetamol [aka acetaminophen or Tylenol] are nearly four times more likely to have abnormal results on liver function tests compared with those taking oral placebo Tylenol is preferred for headaches and arthritis pain. Mechanism of action Advil acts by inhibiting cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2), and thus prostaglandins, which are produced by the body in response to injury and inflammation. Acetaminophen (the active ingredient of Tylenol) is a weak inhibitor of the synthesis of prostaglandins. The mechanism of action of Tylenol is different from that of Advil because Tylenol is considered to be a weaker inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2."

Dr. Sharon Orrange Dr. Orrange is an Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine in the Division of Geriatric, Hospitalist and General Internal Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. Posted on July 21, 2015It’s a question that comes up a lot: Is it safe to take acetaminophen with ibuprofen? Yes, you can take them together, and in fact they even work better in combination than separately. Several large studies have shown that ibuprofen ( Advil, Motrin) and acetaminophen ( Tylenol) together work well to relieve pain, with few side effects. In fact, for many things like dental pain, they work better than many of the opioid-containing pain meds (like Vicodin or Norco ). Why is the combination safe? Acetaminophen is cleared by the liver, while ibuprofen is cleared by the kidneys. Each medication works differently and they are broken down differently so there is minimal concern here.

"text": "Difference between Tylenol, Advil and Aleve For many people who have a headache or some other minor pain, Tylenol, Advil and Aleve are the brands commonly reached for. More people all over the world probably take these than any other over-the-counter pain medication, so we saw fit to provide this comparison of some of the more important characteristics of each. Photo by Jeremy Vandel Photo by zzzack Definition And Brands The clinical name of Tylenol is Acetaminophen or Paracetamol, and it is an over-the-counter brand of medication. Advil is also known by its clinical name of Ibuprofen, and it is also sold under the name Motrin. Aleve is another brand of Ibuprofen, and it is readily available over-the-counter as well. Usage Tylenol is commonly used to relieve the symptoms of fever and headache, although it is not intended as an anti-inflammatory medication. This makes Tylenol unsuitable for conditions such as arthritis and sprains. Tylenol does have the distinction of being particularly useful on nerve pain. Advil is chemically similar to aspirin, and it works in a similar way as well. Advil and other related medications work by inhibiting prostaglandin production, although it does this in a slightly different manner than aspirin."

"text": "Share this: Back to News & Insights Patient News | Medications | June 27, 2010You’ve no doubt heard the question, “Does anyone have an aspirin?” Most of the time, people don’t have a particular brand in mind, just as people ask for a Kleenex when they want a tissue or Xerox when they want to make a copy. But, with aspirin-like products – Bayer, Bufferin, Motrin, Advil, Tylenol, Aleve and others – there are clear differences and their desired effects and disadvantages can be significant. Acetylsalicylic acid/aspirin (Bayer, Bufferin)Aspirin was the first over-the-counter pain reliever to be mass produced. In 1900, aspirin was sold as a powder, and by 1915 the first aspirin tablets were made. Aspirin is used to treat headaches, to quell minor aches and pains, and to reduce inflammation. However, it can cause stomach upset, heartburn, and it is also an anticoagulant (blood thinner) which means that people on certain medications, such as Coumadin, should not take pain relievers containing aspirin. That said, aspirin is still the most common over-the-counter pain reliever, available in both brand names and generic versions. Importantly, it is now playing a positive role in the prevention and treatment of heart disease because it is an anticoagulant. Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)Ibuprofen belongs to a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)."

Answer by Bryan Read Confidence votes 50You should never give Tylenol to a dog, regardless of the formulation or dose - dogs are not small humans and do not react well to human medications. Even a small dose of Tylenol can be fatal for a dog, and this goes for all the different versions including children's Tylenol, Tylenol arthritis, Tylenol PM, etc. Certain over-the-counter drugs can be used, but NOT Tylenol (Acetaminophen) or Motrin/Advil (Ibuprofen). These are very bad for your dogs liver and kidneys and the damage is not reversible. Naproxen (Aleve) should never be used. Aspirin can be used for short term minor pain but you must get the dosage correct or liver and kidney damage can result. Do not use this long term or it can be detrimental your dog's health and make symptoms worse.

"text": "arrowscience The Difference Between Tylenol, Aspirin, Advil, and Aleve BY Kate Horowitz April 4, 2016Mario Tama/Getty Images It’s the morning after a wild night out. You stumble to the medicine cabinet and stare blearily at the array of over-the-counter painkillers, wondering which one will bring the quickest relief (and why all the labels have to be so darn bright). Fortunately, you’ve taped this article to the cabinet door, and instead of guessing, you can just check our handy guide below. TYLENOL (ACETAMINOPHEN)There are two main types of non-prescription painkillers: acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which includes basically everything that is not acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is the most popular pain-relieving option the world over, and it works by encouraging the brain to stop sending pain signals. Best for: Headaches and muscle aches Not great for: Inflammation and joint pain Watch out for: Taking too much acetaminophen, or mixing acetaminophen and alcohol, can lead to liver damage, and acetominophen is one of the drugs most frequently involved in overdose. Check the bottle to find out the maximum safe dose, and take it seriously. ASPIRIN (ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID)Aspirin and other NSAIDs work by decreasing your body’s production of enzymes that create pain-related chemicals. When prescribed by a doctor and taken every day, a small dose of aspirin can help lower the risk of heart attack or stroke for some people. Best for: Reducing cardiovascular risk Not great for: Intense pain Watch out for: Aspirin can be hard on the gut, liver, and kidney."

Flag What happens when you mix ibuprofen and Tylenol? Answer by Foerster.family Confidence votes 29According to doctors and the poison control center, alternating between ibuprofen (advil, motrin) and acetaminophen (tylenol) is safe in adults, and relatively safe in children. Most doctors and nurse practitioners recommend this practice usually only when a child is fighting a severe fever and is not responding to just one or the other of these OTC medications. The independent dosage amount and timing guidelines still prevail, so read labels carefully. It is recommended that you keep track on paper the time and type (ibupropfen vs. acetaminophen) of dosages you are giving a child to avoid accidentally exceeding the recommended dosage by repeating the same medication as opposed to alternating between the two.18 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

The second is a narcotic pain medication either oxycodone with acetaminophen (trade name Percocet) or hydrocodone with acetaminophen (trade name Vicodin). The third is acetaminophen (trade name Tylenol).1. NSAIDs Ketorolac (Toradol) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID), the same class of drugs as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and naproxen (Aleve).

"text": "\"Tylenol or Advil? Not Created Equal for Pain Relief By Sheryl Kraft Share on: As we move merrily along into our so-called midlife, it's not uncommon to feel pesky, everyday aches and pains from things like headaches, back pain, arthritis, sciatica … the list goes on. Because I exercise pretty frequently, it's not unusual for me to feel pain from time to time (yes, I'll admit pushing myself beyond my reasonable limits every once in a while!). Granted, I can't always blame exercise—although I hate to use the age card to start complaining … so I won't. One of my most recent and pleasant discoveries for pain management has been self-massage for various aches and pains; my favorite thing to use is a hand-held massager, like these made by Wahl. But that's not always the only remedy. My medicine cabinet is filled with different over-the-counter pain relievers, among them Tylenol and Advil. And I usually reach for one or the other with no thought given as to why I'm taking that particular one, other than the fact I can no longer stand the pain I'm feeling, or I've run out of one or the other. Which is why a recent article in the Wall Street Journal caught my eye: It's about how all over-the-counter pain relievers do not work interchangeably; apparently they work differently in your body, and they can have different side effects. What's good for a headache is not necessarily good for achy knees."

"text": "\"What Is Ibuprofen (Advil)?17 Reviews | Get Coupons Ibuprofen, sold under the brand names Advil, Motrin, and Ibuprin, is a medication used to relieve pain, swelling and inflammation. Motrin and Advil can be purchased over-the-counter in 200 milligram (mg) tablets, while higher doses require a prescription. Available in tablets and capsules, ibuprofen is also found in combination with other drugs sold over-the-counter (OTC) for cough, cold, and migraine. In certain situations, ibuprofen may be given in hospitals in liquid form through the veins, or intravenously (IV). Ibuprofen belongs to group of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, which work by inhibiting prostaglandins, chemicals that can cause inflammation in the body. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) originally approved ibuprofen under the Motrin brand in 1974. It was manufactured by Mc Neil. Ibuprofen versus Tylenol (Acetaminophen)Tylenol (acetaminophen) provides pain relief but, unlike NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, it has no effect on inflammation. This is because Tylenol works differently than ibuprofen and NSAIDs. To date, the way Tylenol works is not fully clear, but it's thought to reduce pain by acting on pain receptors in the brain."

Find out how you can get some of it back. What is trail commission? When you bought a financial product before the beginning of 2013, you often paid an upfront commission and an ongoing (smaller) commission. This practice was banned at the start of 2013 but only for new products. Any existing financial proucts did not have to repay the trail commission automatically.– Buying via a financial adviser. If you bought the investment or pension via a financial adviser and paid for their advice by commission, they received the upfront commission – and ongoing commission payments called ‘trail’ or ‘renewal’ commission. This was instead of you paying a fee for the financial advice.– Buying direct If you bought direct – i.e. straight from the pension or investment company – the commission was often built into the product so you still ended up paying it (but the company kept it instead of passing it onto a financial adviser)."

Who follows the fiduciary standard? Under federal law, in particular the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, investment advisers are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or appropriate state authorities and are required to provide services to their customers under the fiduciary standard. CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals providing financial planning services also must abide by the fiduciary standard, as defined by CFP Board. Broker-dealers are also regulated under federal law, including under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but are not required to provide services to their clients under the fiduciary standard of care. Instead, broker-dealers provide services under the “suitability standard of care,” which generally requires only the broker-dealer’s reasonable belief that any recommendation is suitable for the client. It is important to recognize that a financial recommendation that is “suitable” for a client (as legally required for broker-dealers) may or may not be a financial recommendation that is in the client’s best interest (as legally required for investment advisers). Why is the fiduciary standard of care an issue of concern? Consumers are harmed by the absence of a uniform fiduciary standard that applies to all financial professionals who provide personalized investment advice, from paying excessive fees and commissions to receiving substandard performance. Consumers are exposed to even greater and unnecessary risks from products that may be deemed suitable for them but are inferior to other available options and not necessarily in their best interests."

"text": "Is my Financial Advisor a Fiduciary or a Stockbroker? Written by Ethan S. Braid, CFA - March 2013Is my Financial Advisor a Fiduciary or a Stockbroker? What is the fiduciary duty and why is that important? The fiduciary duty requires an investment adviser, by law, to act in the best interest of her clients, putting her clients’ interests ahead of her own at all times. [ i] Under the fiduciary duty, an investment adviser must provide advice and investment recommendations that she views as being the best for the client. In addition to being obligated to put clients’ interests ahead of their own, fiduciaries must also adhere to the duties of loyalty and care. [ ii] An investment adviser, subject to the fiduciary duty, is required to provide up-front disclosures to the client, before any contracts are signed to provide investment advice. These disclosures cover important topics such as the investment adviser’s qualifications, services provided, compensation, range of fees, methods of analysis, record of any disciplinary actions and possible conflicts of interest, if any. [ iii] An investment adviser that has a material conflict of interest must either eliminate that conflict or fully disclose to its clients all material facts relating to that conflict. [ iv]The world of investment advice is plagued with conflicts of interest, obscure disclosure and an overall lack of transparency."

I will look at the main issues to consider when advising management and employees. What are the employee’s concerns? It is important to consider why management want to know, and how this may affect the employee. As always, there are broadly two groups of employee: those who are keen to return to work as soon as possible (often for financial reasons), and those who want to stay off as long as possible (often because there is no financial incentive to return). In among these are those who are not worried about returning, and those who are worried that a return too early might be harmful. It is important to work out early on which group the employee belongs to. Who to ask or where to look for answers The most obvious source of information would be the surgeon or the GP. Most OH advisers (OHAs) will have some doubts about this because of differing advice given."

"text": "Financial Adviser vs. Investment Adviser: What’s the Difference? Posted On Dec 31 // Background, Uncategorized A couple of years ago the Securities and Exchange Commission commissioned a survey to determine if the investing public was aware of the difference between an investment adviser and a broker/dealer, whose sales representatives often identify themselves as “financial advisers.” To those of us who are in contact with those investors it was no surprise when the survey revealed that the vast majority of individual investors did not know there was a difference. Investment advisers are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and required to provide objective, fiduciary investment advice to their clients. They are not only subject to more strenuous regulatory requirements, but are fully liable for their advice and actions on behalf of a client. “ Financial advisers” operate under the laws governing the sale of securities and are only held to a vaguely defined standard that requires an investment to be not-unsuitable to the customer. There is a world of difference between an investment adviser and a financial advisor. The magic word that defines the difference is Fiduciary. A “financial advisor” is generally licensed as a securities salesperson but in some cases is only licensed to sell insurance. One of the things that such salespersons vigorously avoid is any language or action that would cause them to become a fiduciary."

"text": "\"Investment Adviser Agent Registration Instructions WHAT IS AN INVESTMENT ADVISER AGENT? An \"\"investment adviser agent\"\" includes any individual employed, appointed or authorized by an investment adviser 1) to solicit business on a compensated basis for the adviser within or from Connecticut; or 2) who is compensated for rendering advice on securities to clients. A sole proprietor of an investment adviser is not an investment adviser agent. Corporate officers and partners of a partnership may be investment adviser agents if they perform the functions of investment adviser agents. Investment advisers may only employ investment adviser agents in Connecticut if the investment adviser agents are registered under the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act. Investment adviser agent registration may be required even if the investment adviser is SEC-registered (see below). SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLY TO INVESTMENT ADVISER AGENTS OF SEC-REGISTERED INVESTMENT ADVISERSSection 36b-3 (12) (B) of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act provides that individuals employed, appointed or authorized by, associated with or acting on behalf of an SEC-registered investment adviser who are \"\"supervised persons\"\" as defined in Section 202 (a) (25) of the federal Investment Advisers Act of 1940 are not \"\"investment adviser agents\"\" under Connecticut law unless they are \"\"investment adviser representatives\"\" as defined in Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 203A-3, 17 CFR 275.203A-3. In addition, Section 203A (b) (1) (A) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 requires that the investment adviser representative have a Connecticut place of business for registration to be required. Section 202 (a) (25) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 divides \"\"supervised persons\"\" into three classes: 1) partners, officers or directors of an SEC-registered investment adviser; 2) employees of an SEC-registered investment adviser; and 3) other persons who provide investment advice on behalf of the investment adviser and are subject to the investment adviser's supervision and control.

"text": "\"Academics Advising What is Academic Advising? Print Email Academic Advising is an opportunity to exchange information designed to help students reach their educational and career goals. Advising is a shared responsibility between an adviser and the student. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the student to make decisions about his/her life goals by creating a plan to reach those goals. Academic advisers can assist in this process by helping the student understand options, determine resources and, when necessary, identify alternatives. While students are urged to keep parents informed of plans and progress, the advising relationship uniquely is between the academic adviser and the student. Student Responsibilities Make advising appointments in advance, especially during busy registration periods. Come to appointments on time, and cancel if you cannot attend Come prepared for appointments by writing down questions/concerns in advance. During the advising period for registration, also come with a list of courses you are interested in taking the following semester. Accept responsibility for making your own plans and decisions."

All tenancies that started from 28 February 1997 will automatically be assured shorthold tenancies (ASTs), even if there is no written tenancy agreement. Tenancies that started between 15 January 1989 and 28 February 1997 will be ASTs if a section 20 (s.20) notice was served before the tenancy started, and will be fully assured tenancies if no s.20 notice was served. Tenancies that started before 15 January 1989 will be protected tenancies. An AST can be granted for a fixed term, or periodic (rolling contract month to month). If a replacement fixed term is not agreed when one fixed term expires, the tenancy will continue as a periodic tenancy by law. A landlord can only end a tenancy within a fixed term if they prove grounds for possession - they cannot serve an s.21. Immigration checks by landlords If you want to live in private rented accommodation, you'll have to show the landlord that you have the right to live in the UK, for example by showing them your biometric residence permit or passport. This rule applies to any other adult you'll be living with."

"text": "\"Overview The Advisory Committee on Accessible Air Transportation (ACCESS Advisory Committee) was established to negotiate and develop a proposed rule concerning accommodations for air travelers with disabilities addressing in-flight communications, accessible lavatory on new single-aisle aircraft, and service animals. Latest News The ACCESS Advisory Committee has reached an agreement to improve the accessibility of lavatories on single-aisle aircraft and of in-flight entertainment. Today, passengers who use wheelchairs cannot access a lavatory on single aisle aircraft and often must avoid flying or dehydrate themselves to avoid having to relieve themselves during flight. Under the agreement, there would be short term and long term measures taken to fully address the challenges persons with mobility impairments face when traveling on single aisle aircraft with inaccessible lavatories, eventually resulting in accessible lavatories in the future for individuals who use wheelchairs. Also airlines today generally do not provide in-flight entertainment with captioning or audio descriptions. Under this agreement, certain movies and shows would be displayed on such aircraft with captioning to provide access to deaf and hard of hearing passengers. Also, audio described entertainment would be available to enable people who are blind to listen to the visual narration of movies and shows. Airlines would be permitted to display content that is not closed captioned or audio-described only if non-captioned or described versions are not available from the airline’s content provider. The Department plans to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking (\"\"NPRM\"\") addressing accessible lavatories on single-aisle aircraft and in-flight entertainment. The Committee was not able to reach agreement on service animals, the other issue, that it had been charged with negotiating."

"text": "How and when did the rehabilitation engineering center program come into being? James B. Reswick, Sc D, DERetired Associate Director, National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, U. S. Department of Education, Washington, DCRehabilitation Engineering Rehabilitation Engineering may be defined as a total approach to rehabilitation that combines medicine, engineering, and related sciences to improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities. Military Agencies Involved in Prostheses Research after World War IIRehabilitation engineering in the United States had its roots following World War II in activities of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) that were initiated by the U. S. Army and the Veterans Administration (VA). It was in 1945 that U. S. Army Surgeon General, Norman Kirk, an orthopedic surgeon, asked the National Research Council (NRC), the operations arm of the NAS, to set up a Committee on Prosthetic Devices (CPD) for the purpose of providing leadership and coordination of the emerging federal programs in the Army, the Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD) and the (VA)—now the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). The CPD was a unique committee at the time because it started with an assumption that has been critically important throughout the years: namely, that physicians, surgeons, and allied health professionals must join with physical scientists, engineers, and technical support persons when planning, undertaking, managing, and disseminating medical engineering research to aid persons with disabilities and improve their quality of life. The CPD was so constituted with such persons, and it was a joint operation of the Divisions of Medicine and Surgery and the Division of Engineering of the NRC. Around this time, Brigadier General Fredrick S. Strong (retired) was appointed chairman of the committee, and its name was changed to the Committee on Artificial Limbs (CAL). General Strong, true to his name, had the reputation as a very dynamic and able person, but somewhat abrasive in manner. It has been suggested that the NAS/NRC leadership became concerned with his “direct” management style and, hoping to make the committee more advisory in nature, changed its name to the Advisory Committee on Artificial Limbs (ACAL). This name remained for around 10 years, but it is my impression that the name change did not have the desired effect and that General Strong continued to provide energetic involvement in many national research programs to the extent that the leadership of the NRC became concerned that his actions were exceeding the “advisory nature” of the NAS."

"text": "\"DRUG MONEYIn FDA Meetings, \"\"Voice\"\" of the Patient Often Funded by Drug Companies December 1, 2016 | David S. Hilzenrath Topics: Public Health and Science Tags: Drug Problems Series, Drug Money Series This is part 2 in a series; read the first part, “DRUG MONEY: FDA Depends on Industry Funding; Money Comes with ‘Strings Attached’”At an August 15, 2016, public forum convened by the Food and Drug Administration, panelist Marc Boutin introduced himself as CEO of National Health Council and said his organization provides “a united voice for people with chronic disease and disabilities.” Speaking at the agency’s invitation, he proceeded to praise a far-reaching deal the FDA had struck with the pharmaceutical lobby—a bargain designed in part to speed FDA approval of new drugs. Boutin’s comments added credibility to the deal and wrapped it in the embrace of suffering patients, a group bound to evoke sympathy. But there were a few things neither Boutin nor his hosts at the FDA mentioned. National Health Council gets most of its funding from drug companies, its members include many drug companies, and representatives of drug companies and their main lobbying organizations serve on its board. Boutin’s appearance epitomized a larger phenomenon. Under federal law, the FDA was required to consult patient and consumer representatives before taking a momentous step this year: agreeing to a new, binding plan that will shape the way the agency reviews prescription drugs for years to come. The law gave the pharmaceutical industry a much more powerful role than it gave patients or consumers. Astonishingly, it required the FDA to negotiate the plan with industry. In theory, requiring the FDA to hold a series of meetings with patient and consumer representatives provided at least a modest check on the extraordinary influence the negotiations give drug lobbyists over drug regulators."

Unlike fixed-route service, in which buses travel the same route in a regular pattern and pick up any waiting passengers, paratransit vehicles make only pre-arranged trips for riders who are eligible for the particular service. There are several different types of paratransit service, listed below. Pace also operates a fixed route system, which is entirely accessible to people with disabilities. For senior citizens and people with disabilities, fixed route is a less expensive way to get around the community and gives people the freedom to travel without arranging a ride in advance. The Regional Transportation Authority offers a training program for those who wish to learn how to ride fixed route. Dial-a-Ride There are dozens of Pace Dial-a-Ride programs throughout the suburbs. In most cases, Pace has a financial partnership with a city or township to pay for and operate the service. Dial-a-Ride programs have different rules on fares, geographic boundaries and passenger eligibility. Check the directory for the rules in your area and for the phone number to call for a reservation."

"text": "June 28 - 29, 2007 Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes Functional Health Dr. Nelson indicated functional health affects all ages, sexes and different socio-economic subgroups. The review of issues around functional health were discussed mainly around different age groups but with an emphasis on older adults as impairment disproportionately affects this age group and they are the least active and the fastest growing age group. For the Committee's purposes it will be difficult to define an older adult. The American College of Sports Medicine and American Heart Association completed a process that used the approach that anyone 65 and older is an older adult. However, there are adults that are in their 50's that have impairments that make them seem older. Another issue that will be challenging will include defining functional health. For older adults there is incongruity between what older adults think they can achieve physically and what they actually can achieve. Also, because many older adults have a low baseline for normal physical activity, doses of low activity must be interpreted differently in this age group. Regarding other age groups, functional health may be a central issue at earlier ages because of the overall absolute lack of physical fitness. Discussion following Dr. Nelson's presentation centered around the question of focusing on fitness as a health outcome and its role in the Committee's report."

"text": "(a) Grounds. ( 1) By a Plaintiff. Persons with claims that may expose a plaintiff to double or multiple liability may be joined as defendants and required to interplead. Joinder for interpleader is proper even though: (A) the claims of the several claimants, or the titles on which their claims depend, lack a common origin or are adverse and independent rather than identical; or (B) the plaintiff denies liability in whole or in part to any or all of the claimants. ( 2) By a Defendant. A defendant exposed to similar liability may seek interpleader through a crossclaim or counterclaim. ( b) Relation to Other Rules and Statutes. This rule supplements—and does not limit—the joinder of parties allowed by Rule 20. The remedy this rule provides is in addition to—and does not supersede or limit—the remedy provided by 28 U. S. C. §§1335, 1397, and 2361. An action under those statutes must be conducted under these rules."

"text": "\"General What is a standard? A standard can be defined as a set of technical definitions and guidelines, “how to” instructions for designers, manufacturers, and users. Standards promote safety, reliability, productivity, and efficiency in almost every industry that relies on engineering components or equipment. Standards can run from a few paragraphs to hundreds of pages, and are written by experts with knowledge and expertise in a particular field who sit on many committees. Are standards mandatory? Standards are considered voluntary because they serve as guidelines, but do not of themselves have the force of law. ASME cannot force any manufacturer, inspector, or installer to follow ASME standards. Their use is voluntary. Standards become mandatory when they have been incorporated into a business contract or incorporated into regulations. Why are standards effective?"

( January 2015)First adopted in 1975, the Federal Rules of Evidence codify the evidence law that applies in United States federal courts. [ 1] In addition, many states in the United States have either adopted the Federal Rules of Evidence, with or without local variations, or have revised their own evidence rules or codes to at least partially follow the federal rules.

Before the twentieth century, evidence law was largely the product of decisional law. During the twentieth century, projects such as the California Evidence Code and the Uniform Rules of Evidence encouraged the codification of those common law evidence rules. In 1965, Chief Justice Earl Warren appointed an advisory committee of fifteen to draft the new rules."

"text": "\"Appendix 1. Translating Scientific Evidence About Total Amount and Intensity of Physical Activity Into Guidelines This appendix discusses two issues that arise when translating scientific evidence into physical activity guidance for the public: In scientific terms, total weekly physical activity in the range of 500 to 1,000 MET-minutes produces substantial health benefits for adults. How should this finding be simplified and translated into Guidelines that are understandable by the public? Two methods are used to assess the intensity of aerobic physical activity, termed \"\"absolute intensity\"\" and \"\"relative intensity.\"\" Should the Guidelines specify one method or allow both? After discussing background information related to these questions, this appendix explains the approach taken on these two issues in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Background For More Information See Chapter 1—Introducing the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, for details on the Advisory Committee and its report. The Guidelines are derived from an evidence-based report on the health benefits of physical activity, written by the Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee. As background, this appendix first briefly explains the concept of METs and MET-minutes. It then discusses three key findings of the Advisory Committee report, and finally discusses the difference between absolute and relative intensity."

"text": "New Drug Application (NDA)Share Tweet Linkedin Pin it Email Print Introduction For decades, the regulation and control of new drugs in the United States has been based on the New Drug Application (NDA). Since 1938, every new drug has been the subject of an approved NDA before U. S. commercialization. The NDA application is the vehicle through which drug sponsors formally propose that the FDA approve a new pharmaceutical for sale and marketing in the U. S. The data gathered during the animal studies and human clinical trials of an Investigational New Drug (IND) become part of the NDA. The goals of the NDA are to provide enough information to permit FDA reviewer to reach the following key decisions: Whether the drug is safe and effective in its proposed use (s), and whether the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks. Whether the drug's proposed labeling (package insert) is appropriate, and what it should contain. Whether the methods used in manufacturing the drug and the controls used to maintain the drug's quality are adequate to preserve the drug's identity, strength, quality, and purity. The documentation required in an NDA is supposed to tell the drug's whole story, including what happened during the clinical tests, what the ingredients of the drug are, the results of the animal studies, how the drug behaves in the body, and how it is manufactured, processed and packaged. The following resources provide summaries on NDA content, format, and classification, plus the NDA review process: Resources for NDA Submissions The following resources have been gathered to provide you with the legal requirements of a new drug application, assistance from CDER to help you meet those requirements, and internal NDA review principles, policies and procedures. Guidance Documents for NDAs Guidance documents represent the Agency's current thinking on a particular subject. These documents are prepared for FDA review staff and applicants/sponsors to provide guidelines to the processing, content, and evaluation/approval of applications and also to the design, production, manufacturing, and testing of regulated products."

"text": "\"Ethics: Definitions of \"\"Public Official\"\" and \"\"Public Officer\"\"Updated January 2015Table for each state and each territory Is a state legislator a public official? Is a state employee a public officer? And why does this matter? In many states, ethics laws are written to apply to \"\"public officials\"\" or \"\"public officers.\"\" The subtleties in defining these terms play a significant role in determining who and what offices are subject to state ethics regulations. Definition. According to Black's Law Dictionary a \"\"public official\"\" is \"\" [o]ne who holds or is invested with a public office; a person elected or appointed to carry out some portion of a government's sovereign powers.\"\" \"\" Public officer\"\" is defined in a similar way. For this research, the terms \"\"public officials\"\" and \"\"public officers\"\" are interchangeable. While each state has taken slightly different approaches, both terms usually include persons who have been elected to an office at the state or local levels."

Because it is intended to be factual, it is distinguished from propaganda. It is also distinct from instances of media bias and failures of objectivity in media outlets, since the bias is intended. Some advocacy journalists reject that the traditional ideal of objectivity is possible in practice, either generally, or due to the presence of corporate sponsors in advertising. Some feel that the public interest is better served by a diversity of media outlets with a variety of transparent points of view, or that advocacy journalism serves a similar role to muckrakers or whistleblowers. Contents [ hide ]1 Perspectives from advocacy journalists2 History2.1 American context3 Objectivity4 See also4.1 History4.2 Criticism of advocacy journalism5 References Perspectives from advocacy journalists [ edit]One writer for the \"\" alternative \"\" journalism collaborative, the Independent Media Center, writes the following in a call to action: Classic tenets of journalism call for objectivity and neutrality. These are antiquated principles no longer universally observed.... We must absolutely not feel bound by them. If we are ever to create meaningful change, advocacy journalism will be the single most crucial element to enable the necessary organizing. It is therefore very important that we learn how to be successful advocacy journalists. For many, this will require a different way of identifying and pursuing goals. ["

If a plan were to have the U. S. send humanitarian aid to Sudan, then the actor would be the United States federal government. Many times, actors are subdivided into more specific \"\"agents\"\". The most common agents include the Supreme Court, the President (usually through the use of an Executive Order ), and Congress. Sometimes, the actors get smaller and devolve into Executive agencies. For example, on a previous high school debate topic—the use of renewable energy—the plan could use the Department of Energy. Sometimes the Negative will use a counterplan to solve for the harms of the affirmative and the most common method of doing so is by the use of an agent counterplan, which simply does the mandates of the Affirmative plan through the use of another agent. Sometimes, the Negative will even use another country. If the Affirmative plan were to send peacekeeping troops to Congo, then the Negative would have Bangladesh (or any other country), do it."

We know this has to come from the medical community, but, in the parlance of football, would you please consider catching the ball we are throwing your way, and would you please run that ball in for a touchdown? Post-Traumatic Brain Injury Syndrome, also known as PTBIS, is a set of symptoms that a person may experience for weeks, months, years or life after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Some symptoms may manifest a substantial period of time (months or years) after TBI. PTBIS may occur subsequent to mild, moderate, and severe cases of traumatic brain injury. The condition can cause a variety of symptoms: cognitive, such as difficulty attending, concentrating, executing, focusing, judging, processing, remembering, speaking, tracking, or understanding; behavioral, such as emotional lability, irritability, mood swings, or outbursts; or physical, such as endocrine dysfunction, fatigue, headache, incontinency, nausea, seizures, sleep disorders, or tinnitus. There are many other possible symptoms. Disorders associated with PTBIS might also include but not be limited to perceptual-motor disorders, somatosensory disorders or vestibular disorders."

Orpha Number: 52759Disease definition Vasculitis represents a clinically heterogenous group of diseases of multifactorial etiology characterized by inflammation of either large-sized vessels (large-vessel vasculitis, e.g. Giant- cell arteritis and Takayasu arteritis; see these terms), medium-sized vessels (medium-vessel vasculitis e.g. polyarteritis nodosa and Kawasaki disease; see these terms), or small-sized vessels (small-vessel vasculitis, e.g. granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis, immunoglobulin A vasculitis, and cutaneous leukocytoclastic angiitis; see these terms). Vasculitis occurs at any age, may be acute or chronic, and manifests with general symptoms such as fever, weight loss and fatigue, as well as more specific clinical signs depending on the type of vessels and organs affected. The degree of severity is variable, ranging from life or sight threatening disease (e.g. Behçet disease, see this term) to relatively minor skin disease. Visit the Orphanet disease page for more resources. Last updated: 2/10/2014Treatment Listen Treatment of vasculitis generally depends on the type of vasculitis, the organs affected and the severity in each individual. [ 1] The main goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation in the affected blood vessels. Individuals with mild vasculitis may only need over-the-counter pain medications, while those with severe vasculitis are often treated with prescription medications including corticosteroids and/or cytotoxic medicines that reduce or stop the immune response causing the inflammation. [ 1] Commonly used medications have included methotrexate, prednisone and/or cyclophosphamide. [ 2] In rare cases, surgery may be needed."

Although only 10 U.

( Disabilities: Insights from Across Fields and Around the World; Marshall, Kendall, Banks & Gover (Eds. ), 2009)One study shows that 60 percent of students with disabilities report being bullied regularly compared with 25 percent of all students.

This connection can be a reaction, interaction, effect or overall customer experience, which takes place online and offline. [ 1] [2] The term can also be used to define customer-to-customer correspondence regarding a communication, product, service or brand. However, the latter dissemination originates from a business-to-consumer interaction resonated at a subconscious level. Online customer engagement is qualitatively different from offline engagement as the nature of the customer’s interactions with a brand, company and other customers differ on the internet. Discussion forums or blogs, for example, are spaces where people can communicate and socialise in ways that cannot be replicated by any offline interactive medium."

A regular feature of the American Journal of Critical Care, Current Controversies in Critical Care addresses the ethical and administrative issues faced by healthcare professionals working in today’s critical care environment. We welcome letters to the Editors regarding this feature and encourage the submission of scenarios for future discussion. Advocacy is commonly understood as a core component of a nurse’s professional identity. In response to questions such as what is a nurse, and what do nurses do, it is not uncommon to hear nurses describe themselves as patients’ advocates. For many practicing nurses, advocacy has come to be understood as, and in some ways equated with, attention to patients’ safety and protecting patients from harm. Although safety and protection certainly are important concerns of nurses, I want to highlight some of the problems with this view of advocacy and describe some of the difficulties that follow when nurses take up the role of advocate in a critical care setting where advocacy is seen as primarily concerned with protection. In contrast to this view of advocacy, I want to explore a stand on good practice that recognizes and engages in a more complete understanding of advocacy in a context in which agency is realized as part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary, team-oriented approach to care. Next Section Advocating for, Safeguarding, and Protecting Advocacy has become a central part of ethics in professional nursing practice. This link is evident in the literature of professional organizations such as the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN)."

Violence can strike any workplace; no area is immune. But who may be more at risk? Commonly, violence occurs at work and refers to a broad spectrum of behaviors (e.g., violent acts by patients, visitors, and/or coworkers) that result in a concern for personal safety. This article provides a brief overview of workplace violence, and discusses the settings where it often occurs. The authors consider the direct and indirect financial impact of violent acts, such as jury awards for injuries; higher than average turnover; increased requests for medical leaves; unusually high time and attendance issues; and stress related illnesses. Advocacy strategies for nurses are offered to address workplace violence on several levels, such as legislative advocacy, workplace policy, and education.

Muscle weakness ranges from mild to severe and typically affects muscles in the trunk and upper legs, though muscles in the neck and face can also be affected. Muscle weakness in CCD usually does not worsen over time. Skeletal abnormalities may include curving of the spine (scoliosis), dislocation of the hip, or restricted motion in certain joints (contractures). Some individuals with CCD have an increased chance of having a severe reaction to anesthesia, called malignant hyperthermia, which may cause muscle rigidity or break-down (rhabdomyolysis), a high fever, or a rapid heart beat.

Thatcher Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B0-08-043076-7/01162-1As policy making has increasingly been recognized to involve interest groups, analytical frameworks have been developed of state-interest group relations. Initially, there were limited and simple categories, such as issue networks, iron triangles, and policy communities. However, more complex policy network ‘models’ have been created that offer typologies of state-interest group relations and then seek to explain the forms of such relations. Most recently, interorganizational approaches to policy networks have been established that draw on social network analysis to examine policy making in terms of exchange relations among interdependent actors. Network frameworks allow inclusion of public and private actors and represent a move away from seeing policy making as an activity confined to public actors arranged in a simple hierarchy of relations. Studies of issue networks and other forms of networks examine the relationships between interest groups and the state. As political scientists analyzed policy making, they found that simple models of representative government in which only elected officials and political parties took decisions and had a clear, coherent overview of policy across government were inadequate. Instead, interest groups were active participants in decision making and implementation, building up close relationships with elected and unelected officials. Policy making was fragmented, with differing participants and relationships in each segmented policy field.1. Early Development Initially, in the 1960s and 1970s, there were two distinct views of the relationships between interest groups and officials. ‘"

"text": "\"Programs & Organizations > Chronic Disease Prevention > A Framework for Contra Costa County A Framework for Contra Costa County Introduction to this document This Framework is organized into four sections: Overview, including a description of the purpose of the Framework, its intended audience, why the Framework is important, and a definition of chronic disease;Profile of the county and scope of the problem, including a demographic description of Contra Costa and a summary of local chronic disease health trends;Planning process which describes what the process entailed, the participants involved, what criteria were used in setting priorities, the risk factors to be addressed, and the target populations for prevention efforts; and Plan for action, which outlines the goals, objectives, and sample chronic disease prevention activities that local communities could undertake. Section I: Overview A. Why Is This Framework Important? Chronic disease is the leading killer in Contra Costa and the single biggest cause of diminished quality of life. While it is commonly believed that chronic disease affects mostly the elderly, cancer alone, for example, is second only to unintentional injury in the years of potential life lost (YPLL) to Contra Costa residents 65 years and younger (See Appendix B, Data). Similarly, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death for those over 40 years of age. 1Most chronic diseases can be prevented or managed with early diagnosis and appropriate education and treatment. Although chronic diseases account for about two-thirds of all medical expenditures nationally, a recent study showed that state health departments allocate only about 3% of their budgets to prevention and control efforts. Local health departments typically spend even less. Those concerned with the public's health have an obligation to inform and educate themselves on this key public health issue and to work toward making chronic disease prevention and early intervention a priority. Experience has shown that many chronic disease prevention efforts are not particularly effective, especially in high-risk, low income, ethnically diverse communities."

Though there are many variations of journalism, the ideal is to inform the intended audience about topics ranging from government and business organizations to cultural aspects of society such as arts and entertainment. The field includes editing, photojournalism, and documentary. In modern society, news media have become the chief purveyor of information and opinion about public affairs; but the role and status of journalism, along with other forms of mass media, are undergoing changes resulting from the Internet. [ 1] This has resulted in a shift toward reading on e-readers, smartphones, and other electronic devices rather than print media and has faced news organizations with the ongoing problem of monetizing on digital news. Many struggling organizations believe that \"\"journalism is in dire shape, and the triumph of digital is to blame,\"\" but Rupert Murdoch insists the \"\"future of journalism is more promising than ever—limited only by editors and producers unwilling to fight for their readers and viewers, or government using its heavy hand either to over-regulate us or subsidize us.\"\" [ 2] It remains to be seen which news organizations can make the best of the advent of digital media and whether or not print media can survive.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Patient-centered care)navigation search Patient participation is a trend that arose in answer to perceived physician paternalism. However, only rarely can unchecked physician paternalism be justified, and unlimited patient autonomy would presumably be equally abhorrent. [ 1]In recent years, the term \"\"patient participation\"\" has been used in many different contexts. These include, for example: participatory medicine, [2] health consumerism, [3] and patient-centered care. [ 4] [a] For the latter context, i.e. patient-centered care, a more nuanced definition was proposed in 2009 by the president of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Donald Berwick: \"\"The experience (to the extent the informed, individual patient desires it) of transparency, individualization, recognition, respect, dignity, and choice in all matters, without exception, related to one's person, circumstances, and relationships in health care\"\" [6] are concepts closely related to patient participation. In the UK over the course of 2016 two new relevant terms have expanded in usage: Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and Engagement (PPIE) [7] in the sense of the older term coproduction (public services). Patient participation is a generic term, and thus no list can be exhaustive; nonetheless, the following description shall subdivide it into several areas where patients and/or their advocates have a role.

The practice of engaging patients in health policy originated from the consumer advocacy movement, which prioritized consumer safety, access to information and public participation in public health programs. [ 9] Depending on the context, patient participation in health policy can refer to informed decision making, health advocacy, program development, policy implementation, and evaluation of services.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could lose weight while catching a bit of shuteye? Well let me tell you the Good news – you can! Here are my favorite ways to burn fat while you sleep. Managing Your Metabolism Metabolism is all the work your body does that requires calories (energy) like, thinking, breathing, and moving your muscles. Metabolism plays a major role in how much you weigh, especially with each passing birthday. Sometime in your 30s, your metabolism starts slowing down by about 5% every decade. That means if you eat about 1,800 calories a day and fit into size 10s when you're 35, you'll be shopping for 12s when you're 45, even if you're eating the same number of calories. The culprit behind this decline in calorie-burn is muscle loss, says Steve Farrell, Ph D, associate director of The Cooper Institute in Dallas. Every pound of muscle you lose can decrease the number of calories you burn by as many as 30 a day."

"text": "\"A Complete Guide To Alleviating Allergy Symptoms With Food Allergy symptoms occur when the body's immune system overreacts to substances in the environment, such as animal dander, dust, or pollen, and starts fighting them as if they were bacteria or viruses by releasing a biochemical called histamine. You can blame mom and dad for this issue as the tendency is inherited, but some doctors say that a healthy diet and certain nutritional supplements can balance your immune system, keeping it strong but not overreactive. If seasonal allergies or other allergens have you down, you will be happy to know that following the right diet can ease or eliminate allergy symptoms in many people. If you have them, you know how awful they can be, and how the symptoms can ruin your day. Taking an antihistamine isn't the only way to battle seasonal sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes and congestion, so if these symptoms are making you miserable, there are some amazing foods that can ease your pain. It's true that many foods offer anti-allergic properties that can help take the place of medications in certain patients who have severe allergies, as Talal M. Nsouli, M. D., a clinical professor of pediatrics and allergy-immunology at the Georgetown University School of Medicine and spokesperson for the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, told weather.com. Certain foods can be the key to optimal health, and controlling allergies is very important, as they can cause inflammation in the body to increase, which stresses the entire body. However, there are many naturally-occurring plant compounds called phytonutrients that assist with allergies, and the main ones include: anthocyanin, curcumin, hesperetin, and quercetin. Of course, if you have a food allergy or sensitivity to one of the sources indicated, avoid that food. Consume Foods Rich in Anthocyanins Anthocyanins give foods that contain them a purplish-red color, and have powerful natural anti-inflammatory properties."

"text": "By JVitolo MD on January 4, 2014 in Biceps, featured To Cut or Not to Cut: Biceps Tenodesis vs Biceps Tenotomy Recently, we discussed injuries and anatomy of the biceps muscle and tendons. If surgery is needed when an injury occurs to the biceps tendon, two procedures are commonly performed: biceps tenodesis and biceps tenotomy. In this post, we will review each and discuss the positives and negatives to each. Biceps Tenodesis With biceps tenodesis, the biceps is first released and then re-attached to the bone in a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure. To do this, anchors or biotenodesis screws are drilled into the bone and the tendon is reattached. This procedure can also be used for labral injuries. The labrum is attached to the biceps tendon and can pull the labrum off and place the labrum under constant tension. Here, the tension is released by cutting the biceps tendon and allowing the labrum to return to its normal position, relieving the pain. The biceps tendon is then reattached to another anatomic position, where it will function properly and not cause pain. Patients that benefit most from tenodesis are younger and more active."

The 77-year-old Libertyville woman would forget things and generally \"\"wasn't the mom that we knew,\"\" said her son, Bob Salata Jr. Despite a sleep apnea diagnosis and a sleeping pill prescription, Barbara Salata wasn't getting better. \"\" It became obvious ... we need to get a new team to look at this differently,\"\" her son said. \"\" I needed someone to listen to her.

Even though Ms. Henry has a nursing degree, she worried about deciphering treatment options and picking the best hospital for her uncle’s care. So Ms. Henry hired Betty Long, a registered nurse, patient advocate and founder of Guardian Nurses in suburban Philadelphia, to help her and her uncle make crucial decisions. Ms. Long accompanied her uncle, Thomas Murray, who is 69 and has no children, on office visits and explained the various treatments his doctors recommended. “I would have been stumped without her,” Mr. Murray said. “ They ought to call her a guardian angel. ”These days, even a person well versed in medical lingo can become overwhelmed by the complexity of the health care system. That is why many patients and their families who can afford it are turning to patient advocates for help. These professionals, who often have nursing or health care experience, can help a patient research treatment plans, sort out insurance claims and even accompany a patient on doctor’s visits."

Not all employees have the same rights. For example, private employees don’t have all the same constitutional rights that public employees, who work for the government, do.

"text": "The “3 to 5 Months” Wait Time, and Why It’s Disappointing The Social Security Administration website claims that applicants typically wait three to five months to receive a decision—but how long realistically should you expect to wait? We’ll break down the timelines, expectations, and what-if scenarios of the Social Security disability application process. By the end of this article, you will know what to expect and how to answer the number one question in the disability application process: How long does it take to get disability benefits? The Social Security disability office doesn’t have a deadline for either applications or appeals—that means that they are not obligated to provide an answer in any given timeframe. That’s why many applicants find that they wait six months to two years before finally receiving benefits. Here’s what you need to know about various types of claims and a brief overview of the four stages of application and appeals: Expedited Claims The SSA has two general criteria for pushing an application through faster. The first is that the disability is classified as terminal. “ Terminal” means that it will significantly shorten a person’s life. An example of a terminal disability may be cancer. The second criteria for being fast-tracked is that the condition is on the Compassionate Allowance List (CAL)."

Advocacy is essential for promoting and protecting the civil and human rights of people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities* and for establishing, maintaining or improving their quality of life. Issue Without strong advocacy at all levels, people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities may not have access to needed supports as well as opportunities to exercise inherent civil and human rights.

To be effective, advocacy must take place at both the individual and system levels. Advocacy can be aimed at public officials, support systems and the general public. Individuals Advocates, including self-advocates, should be trained and knowledgeable about the rights and dignity of children and adults as set forth in the position statements of The Arc and AAIDD. Advocates must communicate effectively with individuals they assist, encouraging them to express and act on their thoughts, choices and feelings about issues and proposed solutions to problems."

"text": "Allowing Non-Citizens to Vote in the United States? Why Not Facebook Twitter Google+ Email Print By Stanley Renshon on September 15, 2008Download the pdf version Related Publications: Transcript Summary In recent years, a concerted effort has been gathering force to allow new immigrants to the United States to vote without becoming citizens. It is being mounted by an alliance of liberal (or progressive, if you prefer) academics and law professors, local and state political leaders most often associated with the Democratic Party or other progressive parties like the Greens, and community and immigration activists. They are working in tandem to decouple the legal standing to vote from American citizenship. As a result of these efforts, there are several municipalities in the United States that currently allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. Moreover, legislation to allow non-citizens to vote has been introduced in a number of states and localities including Washington, D. C., San Francisco, and New York City. Advocates of non-citizen voting advance many arguments for their initiatives. They point out that non-citizen voting was, at one time, allowed in a number of early American states and territories and that it is currently allowed in other Western democracies. They argue that it is only fair to allow non-citizens to vote since they shoulder many of the responsibilities of citizens, like paying taxes, but are not formally represented. And, they say, allowing non-citizens to vote will have civic value as a training ground for the responsibilities of citizenship."

S. Civil Rights Act of 1964. The movement reached a new level with the emergence of Robert Bullard’s work entitled Dumping in Dixie in the 1990’s, which constituted a clarion call for environmental justice. Although environmentalism and the environmental justice movement are related, there is a difference. Environmentalism is concerned with humanity’s adverse impact upon the environment, but proponents are primarily concerned with the impact of an unhealthy environment thrust upon a collective body of life, entailing both human and non-human existence, including in some instances plant life. The efforts of the environmental justice movement differ from those of the environmentalist movement in that, at the heart of environmental injustice, there are issues of racism and socio-economic injustice. Although environmentalism focuses upon and acknowledges the negative impact of humanity’s actions upon the environment, the environmental justice movement builds upon the philosophy and work of environmentalism by stressing the manner in which adversely impacting the environment in turn adversely impacts the population of that environment.

The Definition of Environmental Justice Although the origin of the environmental justice movement is traced to the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Robert Bullard’s work entitled Dumping in Dixie published in the 1990’s is considered to be the first book addressing the reality of environmental injustice. The work examines the widening economic, health and environmental disparities between racial groups and socioeconomic groups at the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries. Bullard states that in writing the book he operated with the assumption that all Americans have a basic right to live, work, play, go to school and worship in a clean and healthy environment ( DD, xii)."

"text": "Faculty of Advocates What is the Faculty of Advocates? Governance +Events International The Advocates Library Catalogue Using the Library Special Collections Abbotsford Contact Information History of Faculty Abbotsford Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was an Advocate and one of the world's greatest writers. He collected around 9000 books and his library at his home at Abbotsford, near Melrose, remains much as he left it. The library is one of a relatively small number of world-class writers' libraries. It remains in situ and intact, with the books arranged on the shelves as they were during Scott's lifetime. The volumes, many of which are annotated by Scott, cover a wide range of subjects (history, politics, literature, science, Americana, witchcraft). The Faculty of Advocates was entrusted with the care and preservation of Scott's library and other artefacts at Abbotsford on the breaking of an 1839 Deed of Entail on Scott's estate. In 2011, the Faculty transferred ownership of the library and the other artefacts it owned at Abbotsford to the Faculty of Advocates Abbotsford Collection Trust. The Collection Trust works with the Abbotsford Trust to ensure the long term preservation of the collections at Abbotsford. More information on the history of the relationship between the Faculty of Advocates and Abbotsford is available here."

An individual or organization engaging in advocacy typically seeks to protect children's rights which may be abridged or abused in a number of areas. Contents [ hide ]1 Rights2 What child advocates do3 Where child advocates can be found3.1 Child advocacy centers4 The United Nations5 Philosophy6 See also7 References Rights [ edit]Main article: Children's rights movement What child advocates do [ edit]A child advocate typically represents or gives voice to an individual or group whose concerns and interests are not being heard. Child advocacy can be done at the micro level (for one child or a few children), mezzo level (for group of children or at a community level) or macro level (for a category of children affected by a social issue). [ 1] A child advocate will try to prevent children from being harmed and may try to obtain justice for those who have already been injured in some way. A child advocate may also seek to ensure that children have access to positive influences or services which will benefit their lives such as education, childcare and proper parenting. Malnutrition is another form of harm-there are many children who go to bed without eating and it is looked over by child welfare or the police. Another form of child advocacy happens at the policy level and aims at changing the policies of governments or even transnational policies. These advocates do lobbying, policy research, file lawsuits and engage in other types of policy change techniques. [ 2] Many use Internet based techniques to influence decision makers. ["

Maryland, Ph D, MSN, APN-BCRose Iris Gonzalez, Ph D, RNAbstract Nurses have hundreds of patient experiences upon which to draw in order to impact public policy. It is our obligation to strengthen skills that enable us to influence public policy so we can better serve patients. This article provides examples of how nurses can translate their hands-on experience with patients into steps that will influence policy. We begin by describing advocacy and providing examples of how nurses can advocate in the community, specifically in economic matters and the educational and healthcare systems. Then we describe the process for advocating in the legislative arena. We conclude by noting that the public needs the voice of nursing in public policy and that now is the time to move forward to advocate for patients in these various arenas.

By Nicole Cheetham, MHS, Deputy Director, International Division, Advocates for Youth A community's members are a rich source of knowledge about their community and of energy and commitment to that community. When public health professionals envision a program to address health issues in a particular community, tapping into the community's expertise and enthusiasm is frequently an essential issue. Genuine participation by community members, including youth, is the key. Community members control the project at the same time that professional partners build the community's capacity to make informed decisions and to take collective action. Experience has demonstrated that people can devise their own … alternatives if they are allowed to make their own decisions. 1Community participation is a proven approach to addressing health care issues and has been long utilized in HIV prevention in the United States and in development internationally, in projects varying from sanitation to child survival, clean water, and health infrastructure. However, the quality of participation varies from project to project. Moreover, in spite of the failure of many health programs designed without the participation of target communities, some professionals continue to question the value of community members' participating in program design, implementation, and evaluation."

"text": "SHELTERS AND SAFEHOUSESOver the course of the last two decades, battered women’s shelters in the United States and Great Britain have encountered many of the same challenges currently faced by shelters in CEE/CIS. Although the way in which shelters developed varies from country to country, a description of the experiences of shelters in the United States and the strategies used by these shelters to address administrative, institutional and advocacy challenges can be used to inform current discussions of shelters in CEE/CIS. The United Nations views the provision of shelter and other services as a critical part of states’ obligation to protect victims of violence. The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, for example, calls on governments to “ [p]rovide well-funded shelters and relief support for girls and women subjected to violence, as well as medical, psychological and other counselling services and free or low-cost legal aid, where it is needed, as well as appropriate assistance to enable them to find a means of subsistence.” Where states have failed to ensure the availability of adequate services for victims of domestic violence, however, such services are generally provided by NGOs. The Shelter and Safehouse Movements The shelter and safehouse movement in the United States began in the early 1970s. Two of the earliest shelters were Women’s Advocates in Minnesota and Transition House in Boston. Women who were concerned about domestic violence or were themselves victims of domestic violence came together and decided that one of the most critical issues facing victims was the absence of alternative housing. Many of these early groups began by housing women in advocates’ own homes for one or two days. Safehouse networks continue to this day, and are a viable alternative to temporary housing when establishing a shelter is not feasible."

"text": "Counseling Today, Cover Stories Advocacy in action By Laurie Meyers April 23, 20142 Comments Advocacy is a concept that can evoke visions of protesters and picket lines, phone banks and information booths, and maybe even knocking on doors and accosting strangers on the street. But at its most basic level, advocacy means to help or assist, and isn’t that the essence of counseling?“I feel that the basic principles of advocacy — helping people to be their best — have always been a part of the profession in some ways,” says Courtland Lee, a past president of the American Counseling Association and a pioneer in multiculturalism and social justice work. “ But it’s evolved over time. People really started to use the word advocate in the real sense [in the] 1960s as the major social justice movements — the struggle for civil rights, the anti-Vietnam War movement and the call for women’s equality — began to transform society. ”Counselors, like the rest of society, were affected by these movements, Lee says. “ It started as more of a philosophy that counselors need to be agents of social change. As it evolved, advocacy became part of the multicultural and social justice movements,” says Lee, a professor of counselling at the University of Malta and editor of the ACA books Multicultural Issues in Counseling and Counseling for Social Justice. Counselors began realizing that working with the client one on one wasn’t always enough, Lee says. Making lasting differences in clients’ lives often required challenging the prevailing environment and working to change it. Rita Chi-Ying Chung, an international expert on multicultural and cross-cultural counseling, discovered that truth at the beginning of her career when she began working with refugees, a population forced to navigate many cultural barriers when arriving in a new county."

"text": "\"Why Not Nuclear Disarmament? Christopher A. Ford In accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo on December 10, 2009, President Barack Obama described as “urgent” the effort “to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, and to seek a world without them.” In announcing the award two months earlier, the Norwegian Nobel Committee made special note of “Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons,” a vision that “has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations.” But realizing this vision will require detailed consideration of several tough questions — questions that the movement for global nuclear disarmament has not yet seriously addressed. How the world will actually get there, and how we all might be expected to stay there, must be thought through before we embark on a project of radical disarmament. Some disarmament advocates believe that the moment has not yet arrived to worry about the nuts and bolts of how a disarmed world would actually work, such as the means by which the international community would be able to deter regime “breakout” by a country keen on using the disarmament of others to make itself the planet’s only nuclear weapons holder. Indeed, the prospect of total nuclear disarmament is so transcendentally appealing in some quarters that such practical challenges and fundamental questions are only of distant interest, if any at all. Some disarmament advocacy groups are so far removed from reality that they argue that reliance upon “deterrence” in security policymaking should end altogether — that it is possible not just to end the use of nuclear weapons in deterrence, but that we need never rely upon anything to “deter” anything else ever again. But back down here on Earth, serious advocates of disarmament are increasingly coming to recognize that unless they can provide compelling responses to some crucial challenges, their goal will only further recede from sight. In part, the challenges are technical; in part, they are political; in part, they point to fundamental ethical concerns."

Political party Democratic Spouse (s) Martha Martin ( m. 1847–1853); her death Adele Cutts ( m. 1856–1861); his death Children Robert Martin (1849–1917)Education Canandaigua Academy Profession Lawyer Signature Stephen Arnold Douglas (April 23, 1813 – June 3, 1861) was an American politician from Illinois and the designer of the Kansas–Nebraska Act. He was a member of the House of Representatives, the United States Senate, and the Democratic Party nominee for president in the 1860 election, losing to Republican Abraham Lincoln. Douglas had previously defeated Lincoln in a Senate contest, noted for the famous Lincoln–Douglas debates of 1858. He was nicknamed the \"\" Little Giant \"\" because he was short in physical stature, but a forceful and dominant figure in politics. ( His height is given in various sources as being in the range of 5 feet (1.5 m) to 5 feet 4 inches (1.63 m); five feet four is reported most often.) [ 1] [2] [3]Douglas was well known as a resourceful party leader, and an adroit, ready, skillful tactician in debate and passage of legislation. He was a champion of the Young America movement which sought to modernize politics and replace the agrarian and strict constructionist orthodoxies of the past. Douglas was a leading proponent of democracy, and believed in the principle of popular sovereignty: that the majority of citizens should decide contentious issues such as slavery and territorial expansion."

"text": "« Afghanistan: Four Nepalese Guards Killed While Defending UN Compound Against Taliban Manufactured Riot Attack Jobs: Team Leader For MPRI, Mexico »Job Tips: How To Get Into Security Contracting Without A Military Or Police Background I wanted to do a post about this subject because of all of the emails I have been getting lately. In the past, I have hinted at this kind of stuff before, but I think now it deserves it’s own post. The top question I get is ‘how do you become a security contractor without any military or police background?’. My top reply is for individuals to join the military or police, and get that background–with an emphasis on the combat arms and duty in the war. That by far is the best route to go, and you will come up against the least amount of friction in this industry as you pursue your career in security contracting. With that said, there is a way to become a gun carrying security contractor without that four year degree in the combat arms. The loophole I am talking about is to become a paramedic. In my career, I have personally met three security contractors without any military or police background, that got their job as a gun carrying contractor because of their medical qualifications. From PSD work to disaster response to site security work–these non-military/police contractors worked those gigs as gun carrying medical guys. Although not purely shooters, they are armed non-the-less, with an emphasis on their medical qualifications."

CPR is a very important action for saving a patient’s life. However, an AED is crucial towards regaining the natural rhythm of the heartbeat as well as restarting the patient’s heart. After performing CPR and if the patient is still non-responsive an AED should be implemented. If the AED does not bring the patient back to consciousness CPR should be re-administered. It’s crucial to call 911 or any Emergency Medical Service (EMS) before performing CPR or applying an AED. How to use an AEDTurn on the AED – Usually, there will be an On button but in some cases, there might be a lever. Make sure to remove all clothing from the arms, chest and abdomen whether male or female. Attach pads to bare skin on the chest. Make sure to use the appropriate system for children or adults."

"text": "Everything You Need to Know About CPR Compressions August 12, 2015 | Dr. Mary Williams, RN, DC | 0 Comments When it comes to life-threatening emergency situations, one of the greatest skills that one can have is the knowledge of properly performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (better known as CPR). Performing the technique improperly or in a situation that does not require it, however, can cause a lot of harm. To be sure of when CPR is truly necessary, it is best to seek training and advice from a professional. Aside from knowing when to do CPR, it is just as important to understand how to properly perform CPR. Although it may seem to be simple, there are a lot of important details to consider before performing CPR in an emergency. Here at CPR Certified, we offer courses with AHA-certified instructors in CPR for infants, children, and adults. We offer a wide variety of CPR certification programs online. From CPR training for people of all ages to programs for health-care professionals, we have a course for every need. Steps to Save a Life Some of the most frequent questions untrained individuals have about CPR are queries about how to do chest compressions and how many compressions in CPR are required. Generally, during one cycle of CPR, there are 30 chest compressions for adults."

Here after they will not need to sit for exams again or send their papers for primary verification once they have already been certified as practitioners in Dubai or any another emirate. Their licence will be recognized throughout the U. A. E whether it is DHA/HAAD/ MOH. This step is quite important before you start the procedure to convert DHA License to HAAD. First you have to be on a job with DHA License. Secondly, you should spend at least 6 months on the job to fulfill the requirements needed for the transfer. This will help you to transfer your license from one authority to another. You can transfer your DHA license to HAAD and MOH. The process to convert your DHA in to HAAD is given below. Step 1."

"text": "\"CPR Certification Many jobs require current CPR certification proof as a mandatory skill. A CPR certificate is needed for lifeguarding, Boy Scout high adventure trips, camp staff, some teaching positions, personal trainers, and many other jobs. There are many situations in which CPR skills may not be required, but are advantageous to getting a position - babysitting and coaching for example. There are many online CPR certification sites that offer CPR training online. Be wary of fancy-sounding organization names like \"\"International CPR Foundation\"\", or \"\"Inter Stellar Heart Association\"\" that offer a certificate. They can say it's \"\"just as good as the Red Cross\"\" or \"\"accepted in place of the AHA certificate\"\". It's up to you to check out their claims and find a program that supports real certification for CPR and AED skills. Some of the classes listed to the left might be viable training options for you. Since the certification is so valuable, many people are tempted to find the cheapest, fastest, easiest way to get it rather than to make themselves thoroughly prepared for the task. Investigate some of the training and certification programs listed - I believe you will find that any good, worthwhile program is not cheap, fast, nor easy - no more so than a classroom CPR and AED certification course."

And since four out of five cardiac arrests happen at home, there's a good chance a rescuer will be helping his or her own loved one. Why teach CPR in schools? Schools are excellent places to offer CPR training, whether it's for graduation requirements, to help students with after-school or summer job requirements, or simply to improve cardiac survival rates in their community. When you teach kids CPR in high school or middle school, you're strengthening community safety -- and giving students skills they can carry into the future. Here's a breakdown of CPR training options, and the materials you'll need for each. Certified and basic training options If your students need CPR certification, you'll want to use the Heartsaver® CPR AED course or, if first aid training is also required, the Heartsaver® First Aid CPR AED course. If students do not require certification but simply wish to learn basic CPR skills, use the Family & Friends® CPR course or CPR Anytime®. Heartsaver® CPR AED and Heartsaver® First Aid CPR AEDBoth of these courses train students in CPR and AED use for adults and choking relief for adults and children, with optional modules for child CPR and AED use, infant CPR, and infant choking relief. The Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED course also includes first aid basics and instruction in responding to various life-threatening conditions (heart attack, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, shock, and stroke)."

The second step is proving it to the bosses. Studies indicate that in the US alone there are over 450,000 deaths per year due to Cardiac Arrest. Cardiac Arrest kills more people than car accidents, breast cancer, prostate cancer, handguns, fires, and AIDS COMBINED with a majority of cardiac arrests occurring outside the hospital. The death of one employee, friend, co-worker or family member can devastate a workplace or public setting. As the public becomes more aware of AED's and their importance in saving lives, the expectation of providing adequate care by someone trained in CPR and an AED nearby is going to become the standard. It is important to understand as you decide to move forward in your AED decision that setting up an AED is not just going online and buying an AED, it is a commitment by everyone involved to build a solid foundation for an AED program that will be successful long term. Identify a champion It is important to identify someone within your organization that will take the lead in building the AED program. This person should be committed to the long term success of the program, gather information, act as the AED liaison and the facilities AED expert. The champion will perform the research on AED's and meet with stakeholders to determine budget, policies, who will be trained, maintenance procedures and logistics."

Understand [ edit]Every day during the summer, Fira is a bustling metropolis as cruise ships from all over the Mediterranean and Aegean seas descend. As a result, prices in Fira (and Santorini generally) tend to be a little higher than other Greek Islands. When there are several ships in port, the lines at the cable cars connecting the Old Port, where the cruise ship tenders dock, with the town of Fira on top of the cliff may become very long.

Lesbos is not overwhelmed by the mass-tourism and outside the tourist centers such as Molyvos, one can find wonderful peaceful and quiet places. Even in Molyvos it was very quiet out of high season and we found the main beach as good as empty. The island of Lesbos is characterized by its architecture, its beautiful bays and clean beaches. There is a very diverse nature and on Lesbos you can spot very special birds. The petrified forest in Sigri is unique in the world and definitely worth a visit, just like the coastal villages of Petra and Molyvos. Lesbos has some fascinating museums, that you definitely should not skip, such as the archaeological museum with finds from the prehistoric period. Art lovers should visit Teriade Museum of Modern Art, where work can be seen by Picasso, Matisse and Miro. In many places on the island of Lesbos you can also find remnants of the ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine periods. In short: for lovers of nature, art, culture and nature and for lovers of beautiful beaches there is plenty to do and enjoy."

Credit: Wikipedia/Photo by Wolfgang Sauber is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0An analysis of ancient DNA has revealed that Ancient Minoans and Mycenaens were genetically similar with both peoples descending from early Neolithic farmers. They likely migrated from Anatolia to Greece and Crete thousands of years prior to the Bronze Age. Modern Greeks, in turn, are largely descendants of the Mycenaeans, the study found. The discovery of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations on the island of Crete and on mainland Greece in the late 1800s gave birth to modern archaeology and opened a direct window into the European Bronze Age. This period of history had previously been glimpsed only though Homer's epics, the Iliad and Odyssey. The Minoan civilization flourished on Crete beginning in the third millennium before the Common Era. and was astonishingly advanced artistically and technologically. The Minoans were also the first literate people of Europe. The Mycenaean civilization developed in mainland Greece in the second millennium before the Common Era."

"text": "\"DARK AGE GREECEIn the late thirteenth and early twelfth centuries b.c. the Bronze Age palace civilization of Aegean Greece went down in flames. Strongly fortified though they were, the urban centers of a series of small Mycenaean states in southern mainland Greece, together with associated regional centers on Crete and lesser Aegean islands, suffered violent destruction, putting an end to their power and unraveling complex political and economic structures. Although the precise origin of the attackers is unknown and other factors may have played a role, at least locally, in some cases (e.g., earthquakes and climatic downturns), it is significant that the fall of Late Bronze Age civilization in the Aegean occurred during a time of equal unrest throughout the eastern Mediterranean. The Hittite civilization in Anatolia suffered a similar fate, and in the Levant and Egypt armies of seaborne raiders and colonists of apparently diverse backgrounds (the \"\"Sea Peoples\"\") sacked towns and threatened the great power of Pharaonic Egypt, leaving a more permanent mark as founders of Philistine city-states in coastal Palestine. Scholarship nonetheless is inclined, less at present than in the past, to envisage waves of invaders penetrating Greece from outside the Aegean to perpetrate the assassination of the Mycenaean palace kingdoms. However, alternative scenarios of internal civil wars between individual states, or a peasants' uprising, remain mere hypotheses, with only later Greek legend to suggest internal wars. The succeeding archaeological assemblages of the penultimate Bronze Age and Early Iron Age (fig. 1) seem firmly rooted in Mycenaean and, on Crete, Minoan Bronze Age traditions; so if invaders were a critical element, they must have moved on or been absorbed rapidly into local cultures. In any case, the disruption associated with the violent end to the Mycenaean world was awesome enough to plunge the Aegean into a Dark Age that was to last from c. 1200 to 800 b.c."

Designated as “Holy Island” by the Greek Parliament in 1981 as well as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999, Patmos had been used as a place of exile by the Romans on account of its steep morphology. That’s how St. John found safe refuge here in the 1st century A. D., exiled by the Emperor Domitian. According to the prevailing theory, the Book of Revelation was written in 95 A. D. in the Holy Cave of the Apolacypse, where St. John heard the voice of God talking to him. Turned into a place of worship by the monk Christodoulos Latrinós in the 11th century the cave –on whose walls we can trace the fingerprints of St. John’s himself–, is still open to the devout Christians. The Holy Monastery of the Apocalypse was built as a castle in 1088 by the monk Christodoulos Latrinós. Cultural and religious centre since its first day of use, it took another five centuries for it to spread its activities all around the island – and not just the town of Hóra (Chora), where it is situated. Around this Monastery revolve Holy Week and Easter celebrations every year. Buildings of different ages form the Monastery, comprising 10 chapels and 99 cells as well as a Library of 890 handwritten codes and 13,000 documents about the history of the site.

"text": "\"Definitionby Joshua J. Mark published on 28 April 2011The Aegean Sea lies between the coast of Greece and Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey ). It contains over 2,000 islands which were settled by the ancient Greeks; the largest among them being Crete (Kriti) and the best known and most often photographed, Santorini ( Thera or Thira). Both of these islands have strong associations with ancient Greek history and myth in that Crete features significantly in the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur while the destruction of Santorini by a volcano eruption has long been considered a probable source for Plato 's description of Atlantis in his dialogues of the Critias and Timaeus. Name Origin In ancient times there were various explanations for the name Aegean. It was said to have been named after the Greek town of Aegae, or after Aegea, a queen of the Amazons who died in the sea, or Aigaion, the \"\"sea goat\"\", another name of Briareus, one of the archaic Hecatonchires, or, especially among the Athenians, Aegeus, the father of Theseus, who drowned himself in the sea when he thought his son had died on his famous expedition to Crete to defeat the Minotaur. A possible etymology is a derivation from the Greek word αἶγες – aiges = \"\"waves\"\" (Hesychius of Alexandria; metaphorical use of αἴξ (aix) \"\"goat\"\"), hence \"\"wavy sea\"\", cf. also αἰγιαλός (aigialos) \"\"coast\"\". The Aegean Sea features prominently in many of the most famous Greek myths. Aegean Trade The early inhabitants of Greece, the Mycenaens, relied heavily on the Aegean for trade and, it seems, traveled as far as Spain and Egypt. Commercial sea trading became their main source of income and, in time, they colonized the various islands of the Aegean archipelago and produced various commodities such as figs, grapes, wine, raisins, honey, wheat, assorted vegetables, and herbs."

"text": "July 12th, 2012, 11:32 AM # 1Timaeus Citizen Joined: Jul 2012From: Georgia Posts: 3Questions on Minoans and Phoenicians contact with each other Minoans rise to prominence seems to come around the of 2000 BC roughly. The Phoenician site of Byblos has been settled since 6000 BC , while the city of Tyre has been in use since 2700 BC. So my question is how much cultural diffusion occurred between these two civilizations ? Minoans were an island Country and If I am not mistaken it has been shown that there was evidence of deforestation on ancient Crete. This leads me to believe the Phoenicians would have been a reasonable trade partner due to their natural resources of Cedar trees. Trade between Phoenicia and others had to been going off for quite some time in the Mediterranean because cedars of Lebanon are found and dated to 3200 BC in Hierakonpolis Egypt. The City of Byblos has also shown evidence of being destroyed and rebuilt several times around 2000 BC. This Coincidentally is around the same the the Minoans rise to prominence. Now I am by no means assuming these two went hand in hand but I would like others opinions on the matter. I simply cannot see how Phoenicians were considered the masters of the sea while at the same time I hear that the Minoans were as well masters of the sea."

In a repeating process, the volcano would violently erupt, then eventually collapse into a roughly circular seawater-filled caldera, with numerous small islands forming the circle. The caldera would slowly refill with magma, building a new volcano, which erupted and then collapsed in an ongoing cyclical process. [ 10]Immediately before the Minoan eruption, the walls of the caldera formed a nearly continuous ring of island with the only entrance between Thera and the tiny island of Aspronisi. [ 10] This cataclysmic eruption was centered on a small island just north of the existing island of Nea Kameni in the centre of the then-existing caldera. The northern part of the caldera was refilled by the volcanic ash and lava, then collapsed again."

"text": "Linear A and Linear B, linear forms of writing used by certain Aegean civilizations during the 2nd millennium bc. Linear A is attested in Crete and on some Aegean islands from approximately 1850 bc to 1400 bc. Its relation to the so-called hieroglyphic Minoan script is uncertain. It is a syllabic script written from left to right. The approximate phonetic values of most syllabic signs used in Linear A are known from Linear B, but the language written in Linear A remains unknown. It must have been a pre-Hellenic language of Minoan Crete. Its eventual relation with the Eteocretan language of the 1st millennium bc is also unknown. Linear B is an adapted form of Linear A, which was borrowed from the Minoans by the Mycenaean Greeks, probably about 1600 bc. Its language is the Mycenaean Greek dialect. Linear B script is attested on clay tablets and on some vases, both dating from about 1400 bc to roughly 1200 bc."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A European-style laser warning symbol Laser safety is the safe design, use and implementation of lasers to minimize the risk of laser accidents, especially those involving eye injuries. Since even relatively small amounts of laser light can lead to permanent eye injuries, the sale and usage of lasers is typically subject to government regulations. Moderate and high-power lasers are potentially hazardous because they can burn the retina of the eye, or even the skin. To control the risk of injury, various specifications, for example 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1040 in the US and IEC 60825 internationally, define \"\"classes\"\" of laser depending on their power and wavelength. These regulations impose upon manufacturers required safety measures, such as labeling lasers with specific warnings, and wearing laser safety goggles when operating lasers. Consensus standards, such as American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z136, provide users with control measures for laser hazards, as well as various tables helpful in calculating maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits and accessible exposures limits (AELs).

"text": "On This Page Background Results Conclusions Additional Resources Research on long-term exposure Pesticide Applicators (Organophosphate Exposure)1997Study Background NIOSH studied the long-term effects of organophosphate poisoning on the nervous system Why NIOSH did the study People who become sick as a result of organophosphate exposure (organophosphate poisoning) have immediate effects to their nervous system. People usually recover from these effects in a few days. Some people exposed to high levels of pesticides may not feel sick but may have lowered levels of an enzyme important for the nervous system. When this enzyme called cholinesterase (Ch E) is too low, it may cause sweating, mental confusion and other symptoms. Low Ch E levels usually recover to the normal levels in a few days when workers are removed from pesticide exposure. We wanted to know if there are long-term effects to the nervous systems of people who have been poisoned by organophosphate pesticides. We also wanted to know if workers with prior lowered Ch E levels had any lasting effects on their nervous system. How NIOSH and Cal EPA did the study NIOSH and Cal EPA asked three groups of men to be in the study. Men in California who had been poisoned by organophosphates between 1982 and 1990 were the first group. Doctors in California are required to report all organophosphate poisonings to the State, and NIOSH tried to locate all of the men in these reports."

"text": "El Conuco Como Estrategia de Producción Agrícola en el Siglo XXIAutor: Ing. Fernando Hernández Ante el interés mostrado sobre el cultivo de los conucos, la redacción de Agro-tecnologia-tropical.com, ha querido indicar las características de esta modalidad de producción, resaltando sus ventajas y desventajas de cara a estos tiempos modernos, haciendo recomendaciones para viabilizar la propuesta. El Cultivo en Conucos Como Forma Ancestral de Producción Agrícola. Los pueblos originarios de América subsistían con el cultivo de los conucos, esta técnica de producción permitió el desarrollo del imperio Inca y Maya, al suplir la alimentación que los hizo pueblos fuertes y guerreros. Hay estudios arqueológicos que demuestran la caída de otros pueblos indígenas dominantes cuando por problemas climáticos disminuyó su producción agrícola.. El conuco está estrechamente ligado al ambiente y persigue la producción agrícola reduciendo su impacto ambiental y con mínimos aportes de insumos externos como agroquímicos y semillas exógenas. Al contrario de lo mencionado en el párrafo anterior, el conuco si se produce un impacto ambiental de importancia, ya que el conuco comienza con la deforestación y quema de la selva virgen para eliminar toda la vegetación, esta labor se realiza para liberar los nutrientes necesarios para desarrollar los cultivos que se liberan en la ceniza después de la quema. De esta forma se elimina la flora y la fauna autóctona, que de masificarse la técnica del conuco representaría una importante superficie de los pocos bosques que todavía quedan. Posterior a esta deforestación empieza el policultivo de leguminosas como la caraota o el frijol, que se asocian con el ocumo, la batata, el ñame, el maíz y la yuca. Al mismo tiempo también se siembran cultivos de más larga duración como la lechosa, aguacate y otros frutales. Todos estos cultivos son sembrados en forma asociada, para entender las bondades de esta técnica de cultivo recomendamos leer el artículo sobre asociación de cultivos."

Tim Whitaker looks at the different approaches. Published on: Jun 8, 2005By Tim Whitaker As the radiant output power of individual LED chips and multi-chip LED arrays continues to increase, there is growing concern over the increased potential risk of eye damage (see footnote 1). Of course, the vast majority of LEDs are completely safe and do not represent any hazard to the human eye. However, many of us have been dazzled by LEDs at some point, possibly by staring at the brake lights of the car in front, or by looking too closely at that LED key ring picked up as a free gift from a conference. At a recent LEDs workshop in the UK, Andrew Dennington of Carclo Technical Plastics, presenting a series of optical design tips, also included a word of caution; “The latest generation of LEDs is not safe, and someone will have their eyes damaged by a high-power LED product,” he warned. “ Check your products to the relevant standards. ”One ongoing issue with LED safety is the problem of whether to classify an LED as a laser or a lamp – both have merits and both present problems, depending on how the LEDs are arranged and used."

Nationality United States Alma mater University of Oklahoma and Stanford University Known for Smith predictor Posicast Control Phasable Enabler Awards R&D 100 Award for Phase Able Enabler, Guggenheim Fellow, In Tech’s “Leaders of the Pack”Scientific career Fields Electrical engineering Institutions University of California Doctoral advisor Dr. Joseph Carroll Doctoral students Tércio Pacitti Otto J. M. Smith was an educator, inventor and author in the fields of engineering and electronics. He spent most of his career as a professor at University of California Berkeley. [ 1] Dr. Smith is probably best known for the invention of the Smith predictor, a method of handling deadtime in feedback control systems:\"\"A somewhat more complicated solution to the deadtime problem was proposed in 1957 by Otto Smith (see 'The Smith Predictor: A Process Engineer's Crystal Ball,' Control Engineering, May 1996) [2]. Mr. Smith demonstrated how a mathematical model of the process could be used to endow the controller with prescience to generate just the right control moves without waiting to see how each move turned out. [ 3] \"\"It was for this achievement that he was listed in In Tech's \"\"Leaders of the Pack\"\" as one of the 50 most influential industry innovators since 1774. Other notable early achievements of Dr. Smith were the purchase in 1951 of the rights to his sine-function generator, U. S. Patent 2,748,278 by Hewlett Packard, and in 1958, the publication of a technical textbook on feed back control systems by Mc Graw-Hill. More recently Dr. Smith has developed methods of running three-phase induction motors on single-phase power. He has also worked on methods of providing power to single phase supply lines from three phase generators. His first patent in this field, \"\"Three-Phase Induction Motor with Single-Phase Power Supply\"\", U. S. Patent 4,792,740, was issued 20 December 1988. He coined the words \"\"enabler\"\" and \"\"phaseable\"\" and \"\"semi-hex\"\" to distinguish these techniques from traditional static phase conversion, rotary phase conversion and electronic means of synthesizing three phase voltages and current."

"text": "AEP's distribution rate case In January 2011, AEP-Ohio filed an application at the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) to increase the charges the utility bills to deliver electricity to customers. These charges are known as distribution rates. What are distribution rates? Electric bills are comprised of two main parts – the cost of producing or purchasing electricity for customers and the cost of delivering electricity to customers’ homes and businesses. The cost of producing or purchasing electricity, known as generation rates, makes up about 75 percent of an average electric bill. The distribution rate covers the cost of delivering electricity to your home. This rate pays for all the things like the cost of installing and maintaining the electric lines that run through neighborhoods, reading electric meters, processing bills and fielding customer service calls. What is the PUCO’s role in setting electric distribution rates? Under Ohio law, a public utility is allowed to recover from customers its operating expenses, plus a reasonable return on its infrastructure investments. When a utility requests a rate increase from the PUCO, several steps are taken to review the company’s finances and to ensure that the company is fulfilling its responsibilities."

When they think of Medicare, many people think of the government program known as Original Medicare, which includes Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance). But you may have other Medicare plan options. For example, you may be able to get your Part A and Part B benefits through a private, Medicare-approved insurance company. That’s what the Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) program is all about: it gives you an alternative way to receive your Original Medicare ( Part A and Part B) coverage (everything except hospice care, which Part A still covers). Some Medicare Advantage plans include additional benefits as well – prescription drug coverage, for example, or routine dental services and/or fitness programs. These are just a few examples of additional benefits that some Medicare Advantage plans offer – benefits not included in Original Medicare. It’s important to know that Original Medicare doesn’t cover prescription drugs in most situations – for example, Medicare Part A and Part B don’t generally cover the medications you might take at home. Most Medicare Advantage plans do include prescription drug coverage – so you can get all your Medicare benefits in one policy. If you’re looking for a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan (that is, a Medicare Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage), you might want to make sure it covers the prescriptions you take."

"text": "AEP unit Kentucky Power settles on rate review11/28/2017By Corina Rivera Linares Chief Analyst, Transmission Hub Sponsored by American Electric Power 's Kentucky Power on Nov. 22 said that it has reached a settlement agreement with most of the groups that are part of its base rate review filed with the Kentucky Public Service Commission. The settlement decreases the company’s revenue requirement request by $28.6 million to an overall total increase of $34.7 million, the company said, adding that in its original request filed in June, it had requested $69.6 million, which was reduced to $63.3 million after the successful refinancing of some long-term debts. The settlement proposes rates based on the opportunity to earn a return on equity of 9.75 percent, and it provides a mechanism for the company to recover 80 percent of its mandatory federal transmission expenses, the company said. Interveners in the rate review who reached the settlement with Kentucky Power are the Kentucky School Boards Association, Kentucky League of Cities, Kentucky Industrial Utility Customers, Wal-Mart and the Kentucky Cable Telecommunications Association, the company said, adding that the Kentucky Attorney General’s Office of Rate Intervention and the Kentucky Commercial Utility Customers did not sign the settlement. As a result of the balance provided by the settlement, the company agreed that if the settlement is approved by the commission, then it would not seek an update to its general base rates until at least 2021. The commission has scheduled hearings about Kentucky Power’s rates for Dec. 6, 7, and 8 in Frankfort, the company said, adding that if approved, the new rates would go into effect in mid-January. Under the settlement, the residential customer rate would increase about 9 percent, Kentucky Power said, adding that the original rate adjustment filing had residential customer rates increasing about 16 percent. Commercial and industrial customer rates would increase 3 percent to 7 percent, down from a requested 7 percent to 14 percent, based on usage, the company said. The ability to lower the rate request in the settlement from the original filing is due in part to a $50 million deferral of expenses related to the generation of electricity at the coal-fired Rockport Plant in Indiana, the company said. The settlement also decreases residential customer monthly contributions to the economic development program from 15 cents to 10 cents, and increases commercial and industrial customer contributions to $1, Kentucky Power said, adding that it will continue to match all economic development fees collected from customers to generate nearly $1.1 million a year to invest back into eastern Kentucky."

April 25, 2012Electric delivery charges are known by many different names: Demand charges, transmission charges, TDSP (Transportation Distribution Service Provider) charges, and poles and wires charges. TDSP charges are the fees associates with servicing and delivering power to your meter from the generation source. The TDSP, sometimes called your Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU), is the utility company that manages the energy grid in your area of the state. The TDSP is responsible for maintaining the poles, wires, meters, and other transmission equipment relating to the distribution of energy from the power production plant to the final delivery point. The primary charges that fall under TDSP fees are: Distribution, Transmission, and Transition Charges. These fees are based on your meter’s “peak demand” which is the maximum electricity that you use at a given point in time. The grid has to work harder to have the capacity available for your peak demand at all times because that is the worst case scenario. If the grid doesn’t prepare accordingly, users could be forced to have rolling black outs."

AEP Generation Resources owns 10,002 megawatts of power plant capacity and had an initial capitalization of about $3 billion.

Dive Insight: AEP earnings were up in Q1 but so were volatile natural gas prices, making it more challenging for the vertically integrated regulated utility to follow through on long term plans to shutter 6,600 megawatts of coal. New power plant emissions regulations expected to be unveiled by the EPA June 2 will likely make it difficult for fossil fuel-dependent power generators like AEP Generation Resources to keep costs in control and compete in a deregulated market. Increasing availability of distributed renewables and efficiency measures has impacted electricity demand throughout the Midwest and low wind power prices are driving out traditional generation . New transmission and distribution seems to be where Midwestern utilities are building earnings. The volatility of returns in deregulated Midwest markets was the reason cited by Duke CEO Lynn Good in announcing earlier this month the utility would sell 6,600 megawatts of generation capacity in the region for an estimated $2.1 billion.

"text": "Downloaded 139 times TECHNICAL PAPERSMultiple Flood Source Expected Annual Damage Computations Nathan Pingel, M. ASCE; and David Watkins Jr., M. ASCESections Download Tools Share Abstract For flood damage reduction analysis, the standard for measuring risk is expected annual damage. This index represents a long-term average annual flood damage for a given structure or area. We compute this index by integrating a probability-damage function. In practice, we develop the required function by developing a water level (stage)-probability function and an elevation-damage relationship. The analysis becomes complex when the stage-probability function is dependent upon multiple flooding sources. For example, this occurs when an area is protected by multiple leveed reaches or can be flooded from more than one stream. Here we propose alternative analysis frameworks for computing expected annual damage considering this complicating factor. An example illustrates that appropriate methods depend on the alternatives evaluated, the correlation of discharges, and the number of levee reaches. Motivation Why Are Flood-Damage Reduction Studies Undertaken? For flood management planning, we are interested in the optimal expenditure of funds to protect lives and property."

"text": "30May 2007By admin Posted in Electric Rate Plans, Texas Electricity, Texas Electricity Companies With 5 Comments Permalink Amigo Energy Services Off Peak On Peak Electric Rates Today I was looking at Amigo Energy Services 12 month true commitment plan to see if their electricity rate of 12.1 cents\\kwh is really true. This would be the lowest residential electricity rate yet. As long as you use more then 500 Kwh a month you pay no monthly customer charge of $6.95. Well, everything looked great until I read the residential electricity facts label. If you look at the chart below you can see that the rate is composed of an on peak off peak rate. This means that if you are like most people and use your energy during peak hours you will end up averaging higher then 12.1 cents\\kwh. This quoted rate just averages their on peak off peak rate together. This is not realistic to how you will use your energy. You can expect to pay about 12.8 cents per kwh or so.

"text": "Reuben Gregg Brewer ( TMFReuben GBrewer)Oct 6, 2014 at 7:15PMIn Hawaii, electricity costs $0.38 per kilowatt hour, almost three times the national average. Solar power, which costs as much as $0.30 per kilowatt hour is a bargain in comparison. However, in Ohio where power costs around $0.14 per kilowatt hour, roughly the U. S. average, solar doesn't compete nearly as well. So it's no wonder solar projects fell off a cliff when Ohio passed Senate Bill 310. A little help Solar power is increasingly affordable and, thus, increasingly viable as an alternative for homeowners and businesses. However, it isn't cheap enough to compete with utilities in most areas just yet. And it's getting a big helping hand from the government. For example, last year Clean Technica estimated that power from a solar panel installation in Los Angeles would have cost around $0.11 per kilowatt hour. However take out government incentives and the price jumped over 40% to $0.19 per kilowatt. And there are huge variations depending on where the solar is being installed, since some areas have better sun than others and housing codes and trends differ."

"text": "Lost Revenue Recovery Lost revenue recovery is a ratemaking mechanism designed to allow a utility to recoup declines in sales attributable to measurable and verifiable energy efficiency (EE) programs. It removes utilities’ disincentive to reducing sales through energy efficiency programs. Residential and small commercial ratemaking typically places a large portion of fixed cost recovery in the volumetric ($/k Wh) energy charge. That means that lost revenues can lead to a utility recovering less than its commission-approved revenue requirement. This is one of the primary roadblocks preventing utilities from engaging in aggressive energy efficiency programs. Decoupling and lost revenue adjustment mechanisms (LRAM) are the two most common mechanisms for recovering lost revenues. Full decoupling completely severs the tie between utility sales and revenues. LRAM determines how much of a utility’s revenues are lost due to the implementation of EE programs and allows recovery through a rate adjustment. While both methods eliminate the disincentive to promote EE, LRAM is targeted to only recover revenue losses due to EE programs. How they work The cost of an energy efficiency program can be divided into three parts: program costs, opportunity costs and lost revenues."

A typical household uses approximately 908 k Wh per month of electricity. Continue Reading Keep Learning What are CL & P rates? How much electricity per hour does a television use? How much does it cost to use an electric clothes dryer for 30 minutes? Full Answer As NPR notes, Hawaii residents paid the most per k Wh, at 33 cents in 2011. The Energy Information Administration's energy economist, Tyler Hodge, cites the cost of crude oil used to generate electricity as the main reason. Conversely, Idaho pays the lowest price per k Wh, at 8 cents in 2011, due to the use of hydroelectric dams that generate its electricity. As for the nation, the average price per k Wh has risen over the past decade."

The decay starts with the loss of myelin sheath function. Myelin sheathing is a protective coating around nerve cells. It’s similar to the insulation that surrounds electrical wiring. When the myelin sheath function begins to deteriorate, electrical energy can leak out. Signals become distorted or lost, and function is disrupted. The earliest sign of myelin sheathing deterioration is a simple loss of reflex speed. Later, the disturbance in the nerves can cause shaking, poor balance, faulty coordination, memory loss. The problem also causes increased fatigue that is brought on by nearly any basic activity. The researchers who conducted the startling new study explained it this way: Studies have shown us that as we age, myelin sheathing breakdown and repair is continually occurring over the brain’s entire neural network."

"text": "Travel Air Travel Changing flight dates on Aer Lingus????????!!!? My parents booked a holiday to Portugal for the 4th-11th August 2010. I've realised that we're busy on these dates. If we we were to change out flights to a later date, for example the 10th-17th August, would this cost a lot?? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Emma - you, or someone, has to call the airline and talk to them. They are the only ones who know the exact fare rules under which the tickets were purchased. It is highly likely that there will be a fee to change the dates, but they are the only ones who can tell you exactly how much the whole change will cost. And - even better, if your parents decide to go ahead and make the change, then the reservation agent can confirm the new bookings right away. Roger K · 8 years ago0 0 Comment You really need to talk to the airline and hope they are in a good mood. Most tickets are no change no refund based."

"text": "\"Revealed: The worst airline baggage charges (including £78 for a backpack)'I only booked in one bag' Credit: Yakobchuk Olena - Fotolia/Yaroslav Astakhov Hugh Morris , Travel News Editor19 April 2017 • 5:33pm B aggage fees are increasingly integral to how much your flight costs, with fees sometimes trumping the air fare itself. With airlines now driving down the cost of their seats with stripped back tickets, they try to recoup some of their losses with optional add-ons such as seat selection, in-flight dining and the real money earner, checked luggage. But which carrier charges the most for bags, and which provides the best value should you want to travel heavy? We crunched the numbers. Ditching your bag is one way of escaping charges Credit: Sergey - Fotolia The worst offender for excess baggage charges - surprisingly, perhaps, given that its regularly rated among the world's best airlines - was Emirates, which asks for £117 for each 5kgs on top of your allowance. In the meantime, Spirit Airlines wants £28.90 for any carry-on bag bigger than a purse (forget to book in advance and it will cost you £78). But let us begin with Irish airline, Aer Lingus, which has just bumped up some of its fees, so that a 25kg bag on what it describes as a \"\"Far\"\" flight, such as from Dublin to Naples, will now cost €60 (£50) each way. Unless specified the fares used are the lowest available. Some airlines offer too many geographical variations to include in one article, so flights to/from Europe or UK are used when possible. Unless otherwise stated, bags over 32kg are often refused and must be sent as cargo."

It is Ireland's second largest and also the oldest airline after its rival Ryanair. The airline's head office is based on the grounds of Dublin Airport. Formerly a member of the Oneworld alliance which it left on 31 march 2007 Aer Lingus was established in 1936. Despite not being affiliated with the alliance, the airline has agreements with Oneworld, among others like Star Alliance and Sky Team members, as well as interlines agreements with Aer Arann, United Airlines and Jet Blue Airways. The company development has increased expeditiously making them able to employs 4,000 people and in 2010 gained revenues of €1.2 billion. Aer Lingus airline flew approximately 9.3 million passengers in 2010. It also grew to outsource other small airline facilities that operate a low fare service routes to Europe and North Africa at full service, which is optional as there are also two class flights on transatlantic routes.

"text": "This post contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. For an explanation of our Advertising Policy, visit this page. One of the most frustrating parts of searching for and booking award tickets is knowing where to look. Many airline websites are either woefully or willfully outdated when it comes to searching not only their own award availability, but also that of their partners. In light of recent exciting developments including EVA’s entrance into Star Alliance and now being bookable through United.com, as well as Virgin Atlantic and Delta’s new partnership, I thought it would be a great idea to put together a resource where you can see which airline’s web sites allow you to book awards on which partners (as well as the partners that they do not show you) so you can reference it and figure out where you should be looking for awards on specific airlines. This list will constantly changes as (hopefully) airlines get better at showing actual award availability online. If I’ve miscategorized any partner, please comment and I’ll update. Air Canada ‘s Aeroplan is actually a separate company from the airline (Air Canada sold it off years ago). Here is the partner list and award chart."

For an explanation of our Advertising Policy, visit this page. International Airlines Group (IAG), which owns British Airways and Iberia, is completing a takeover deal of Aer Lingus, currently owned by the government of the Republic of Ireland . Now, this may not seem like big news to those accustomed to flying business or first. For several years, Aer Lingus has been known for its low-cost, Ireland-based routes after having changed its strategy several years back. But it has quietly been working to become more competitive when it comes to premium service, even recently unveiling a new business class that should be up to snuff for discriminating travelers. Once it’s finalized, this takeover will put Aer Lingus back into the Oneworld alliance . It’s unclear how this will affect the airline’s current partnership roster: Current Aer Lingus partners. But with the Oneworld alliance addition, it also means you’ll be able to redeem American AAdvantage miles for Aer Lingus flights."

One of many things for that which you must visit San Francisco is PIER 39. From wonderful opinions and a sea of sea lions to chowder bread servings and California wines, your visit to San Francisco starts at PIER 39. That place is probably the most visited location in San Francisco. It provides two degrees of eating, leisure, shopping and attractions, all surrounded by irresistible opinions of the town and the bay. Located across the traditional San Francisco waterfront, PIER 39's spot supplies the image ideal backdrop for postcard views of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, Alcatraz, Angel Island and the popular town skyline.? ·"

"text": "The Irish government has decided to sell its 25 percent stake in Aer Lingus to IAG, parent company of British Airways and Iberia. As a result of this move, Aer Lingus, Ireland’s national airline, will join the oneworld alliance. This is wonderful news for American Airlines’ frequent flyers. Although not the sexiest European airline by any means, Aer Lingus (EI) will significantly expand award options between North America and Europe via EI’s Dublin (DUB) base. EI currently operates flights between DUB and the following seven North American destinations: Boston (BOS), Chicago O’Hare (ORD), New York-JFK, Orlando, San Francisco (SFO), Toronto and Washington-Dulles. Additionally, EI operates flights from Shannon (SNN) to BOS and JFK. From DUB, you can connect to most major European cities with EI, as well as a number of smaller destinations. Other than Morocco, EI does not operate flights to any country outside of Europe and North America. Aer Lingus was previously a member of oneworld from 2000 – 2007. They decided to leave the alliance as a result of changes in business strategies."

It has two parallel runways along and terminals on a vast site surrounded by London's suburbia. Located just 14 miles (22 kms) west of Central London it is famous for many things - not least the fantastic view of the city on final approach, because the two runways result in most approaching traffic skimming over the streets of London. Many passengers approach Heathrow Airport (known as just plain Heathrow to pretty much everyone in aviation) with either awe (just look at those passenger numbers) trepidation (much has been written about LHR nightmares - leading to many people who have never been there to regard it as the worst airport in the world. It is certainly not) or joy - the latter reserved mostly for the fantastic new Terminal 5, which has to be one of the most inspiring airport terminals in the world. One thing is for sure: Heathrow is neither easy, cheap, or hassle free. Heathrow deals with more international passengers than any other airport around the globe: from this rather un-regarded part of Hounslow you can get a direct plane to virtually any destination on the planet. Many people who travel through Heathrow don't actually leave the country. It is of course the busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the third busiest by flight numbers in the world."

I'm going to Ireland next September and I've already purchased my ticket, SFO-DUB on Aer Lingus. I'm going with a group of friends and we all bought our tickets early with Aer Lingus direct. We live about four hours from SFO and haven't decided about driving down or flying into SFO. If we decide to fly into SFO will we be able to check our baggage through to Dublin when we check in here at home for our flight to SFO or will we have to collect our bags and then re-check them at Aer Lingus? If we do that how early do you think we would need to arrive at SFO in order to do this and not worry? Thank so much for your help. I'm really a travel rookie!Nov 1st, 2013, 08:39 AM # 2Gardyloo Join Date: Jan 2003Posts: 16,140It will be purely at the discretion of the first airline you use (the flight to SFO.) Most (not all) airlines have \"\"interline baggage\"\" agreements, so they CAN through-tag your bags to Dublin. However, some airlines have a policy of NOT through-tagging bags when the flights are on separate tickets/reservations."

"text": "Baggage Allowances for Major Airlines At Holiday Extras we know there's a lot to remember when you're preparing for a flight. To help you out, we've compiled a list of the top 20 airlines flying out of the UK with links to their websites where you can check up-to-date baggage information online. Baggage allowances can be complicated, varying according to routes and class of seat and taking into account the number, weight and dimensions of bags, free allowances, and ever-changing aviation rules. In general, excess baggage and special items can be carried for an additional fee. For all airlines flying into and out of the UK, a recent safety requirement has been introduced restricting the weight of each single item of luggage to 32kg. This is not your full baggage allowance, rather a measure to reduce strains and injuries among baggage handling staff. Remember, this information is liable to change so always check on your airline and airport websites before you start packing. Aer Lingus Hold baggage allowance is generally two bags weighing a maximum of 20kg (short haul) or 36kg (long haul) for Aer Lingus flights. There is a fee payable for short haul economy flights, at a discounted rate if booked online in advance. Cabin baggage is limited to one piece per passenger, weighing less than 6kg."

"text": "Booking Strategy Jun 19, 2017How to Save on One-Way Flights Independent Traveler See recent posts by Independent Traveler Historically, one-way tickets cost roundtrip dollars; that is, you’d pay almost as much for a single one-way ticket as you would for a roundtrip ticket to the same destination. Fortunately for thrifty flyers, domestic discount airlines and travel booking sites have entered the mix and now offer reasonably priced one-way tickets. Although the big airlines still charge roundtrip prices (or more) for many international routes, and certain one-way trips could cost hundreds or even thousands more than similar roundtrip itineraries, they have lately become more competitive for domestic one-way fares. Travelers still need to have a few tricks up their sleeves in order to avoid one-way highway robbery. Why are some one-way flights so expensive? I asked George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, who told me that one-way flights are frequently purchased by business travelers who tend to combine trips (and whose corporate travel departments usually pay full price for fares). Hobica also said the airlines don’t particularly want travelers to fly one-way, as it upsets airline travel schedules. To get an idea of current one-way fare prices, I searched for flights on a number of airfare providers (big airlines, domestic airlines and online travel booking sites). Some of the exorbitant one-way tickets I found were shocking — others were easier on the pocketbook. One-Way Fare Case Study #1: International Flights In this case study, I’m pitting United Airlines against discount airline Aer Lingus and online travel booking site Expedia."

International Airlines Group (IAG), which owns British Airways and Iberia, is completing a takeover deal of Aer Lingus, currently owned by the government of the Republic of Ireland . Now, this may not seem like big news to those accustomed to flying business or first. For several years, Aer Lingus has been known for its low-cost, Ireland-based routes after having changed its strategy several years back. But it has quietly been working to become more competitive when it comes to premium service, even recently unveiling a new business class that should be up to snuff for discriminating travelers. Once it’s finalized, this takeover will put Aer Lingus back into the Oneworld alliance . It’s unclear how this will affect the airline’s current partnership roster: Current Aer Lingus partners. But with the Oneworld alliance addition, it also means you’ll be able to redeem American AAdvantage miles for Aer Lingus flights."

"text": "The Irish government has decided to sell its 25 percent stake in Aer Lingus to IAG, parent company of British Airways and Iberia. As a result of this move, Aer Lingus, Ireland’s national airline, will join the oneworld alliance. This is wonderful news for American Airlines’ frequent flyers. Although not the sexiest European airline by any means, Aer Lingus (EI) will significantly expand award options between North America and Europe via EI’s Dublin (DUB) base. EI currently operates flights between DUB and the following seven North American destinations: Boston (BOS), Chicago O’Hare (ORD), New York-JFK, Orlando, San Francisco (SFO), Toronto and Washington-Dulles. Additionally, EI operates flights from Shannon (SNN) to BOS and JFK. From DUB, you can connect to most major European cities with EI, as well as a number of smaller destinations. Other than Morocco, EI does not operate flights to any country outside of Europe and North America. Aer Lingus was previously a member of oneworld from 2000 – 2007. They decided to leave the alliance as a result of changes in business strategies."

The airport is a major base for Flybe, which has become the largest operator at Belfast City operating mainly domestic flights. Despite the fact the airport is within a short distance from the city centre (around 10 to 15 minutes drive from the terminal building during peak commuter times), the airport passenger number has decreased from 2.7 million in 2010 to 2.2 million in 2012. The airport has one terminal building, and some conveniently situated short stay and long stay car parking facilities.

We’ve received a lot of viewer emails and Facebook posts asking what an areal flood warning is. We’ve been seeing a lot of these lately, so it’s a good question. ( And no, it’s not spelled wrong).‘Areal,’ although it looks like it’s misspelled, is correct in reference to an areal flood warning. Like most meteorological terms, the word has a Latin origin. ( Areal is the adjective form of area and is not the same as ‘aerial’). Technically, we could show an aerial image of an areal flood. That just means it would be a photo taken from the air (more than likely by a plane or satellite) of a large area of flooding…So ‘areal’ and ‘aerial’ are homonyms – they sound the same, but have different meanings. Now that the word areal is understood, here’s what an areal flood warning means."

The Florida peninsula, jutting out into danger. The Texas coastline, low-lying and concrete-laden. Nearly a full month of back-to-back-to-back disasters.

"text": "\"Earthquakes: collateral effects The energy released from an earthquake can be up to 10,000 times more powerful than the first atomic bomb. Its side-effects can be: Ground shaking Shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves, especially surface waves near the epicentre of the earthquake are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake. The intensity of ground shaking depends on:conditions of the local geology influence events: solid bedrock is far less subject to intense shaking than loose sediment;duration and intensity of the earthquake are subject generally to the size of the earthquake;distance: the distance from the epicentre drops off so the intensity of the shaking decreases. This depends on the type of material underlying the area. There are however some exceptions. The 1985 Earthquake in Mexico city (magnitude 8.1) had its epicentre 350 Km away to the south on the coast. Damage to city was extensive as Mexico city is built on a former lake made up of soft unconsolidated sediment (see: Liquefaction further down). Faulting and Ground Rupture When an earthquake event occurs, ground rupture is only where the fault zone moves. Those constructions built adjacent to the fault will survive while structures built across these zones will collapse. Landslides and ground subsidence Avalanches, landslides, slumps and rock slides are triggered by ground shaking."

( Photo by Monika Graff/Getty Images)NEW YORK (CBSNew York) – An “Areal Flood Watch?” Really CBS? Anyway, you may have noticed use of the word “areal” in the yellow or red bar at the top of cbsnewyork.com during the recent rash of rain . This prompted some visitors to tell us that we had misspelled the word “areal,” and that it should be “area. ”The National Weather Service adopted the new term several years ago which generally means the same as the more commonly used “Flood Watch” designation. Basically an Areal Flood Watch means there is potential for flooding over a large area. The word “areal” is the adjective version of the noun “area. ”There’s no word on why the National Weather Service changed the name of the watch."

Nelson Flooding Hazards, Prediction & Human Intervention This page last updated on 19-Oct-2015Hazards Associated with Flooding Hazards associated with flooding can be divided into primary hazards that occur due to contact with water, secondary effects that occur because of the flooding, such as disruption of services, health impacts such as famine and disease, and tertiary effects such as changes in the position of river channels. Throughout the last century flooding has been one of the most costly disasters in terms of both property damage and human casualties. Major floods in China, for example, killed about 2 million people in 1887, nearly 4 million in 1931, and about 1 million in 1938 The 1993 flood on the upper Mississippi River and Midwest killed only 47 people, but the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates the total economic loss at between 15 and 20 billion dollars. Primary Effects Again, the primary effects of floods are those due to direct contact with the flood waters. As seen in the video last lecture, water velocities tend to be high in floods. As discharge increases velocity increases. With higher velocities, streams are able to transport larger particles as suspended load. Such large particles include not only rocks and sediment, but, during a flood, could include such large objects as automobiles, houses and bridges. Massive amounts of erosion can be accomplished by flood waters."

Armchair-Theology.net Answered Feb 12, 2011I'm not weighing in on either side of the historical/allegorical debate here but wanted to throw in a quick point: The narrative says \"\"kind\"\" not \"\"species.\"\" That's significant because those who hold to a literal-historical view of Gen 1-11 don't think that every species of animal on earth was on the ark. They believe that each \"\"kind\"\" of animal was represented (e.g. one canine pair, one feline pair, one equine pair, etc) and all species we see today are the results of speciation due to microevolutionary devolution. There is nothing wrong about asking this question - it just won't be as productive as asking proponents about what they actually think.4.1k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Giovanni Garreffa Your response is private.

The chapter demonstrates that the means of reducing the impact of natural hazards is now available. The factors that influence susceptibility to vulnerability reduction-the nature of the hazard, the nature of the study area, and institutional factors-are discussed. The core of the chapter explains how to incorporate natural hazard management into the process of integrated development planning, describing the process used by the OAS-Study Design, Diagnosis, Action Proposals, Implementation-and the hazard management activities associated with each phase. The chapter goes on to show how the impact of natural hazards on selected economic sectors can be reduced using energy, tourism, and agriculture as examples."

Indian yoga guru Baba Swami Ramdev practices yoga on the island of Little Cumbrae off the west coast of Scotland Photo: AFPBy Dean Nelson, New Delhi8:00PM GMT 23 Dec 2010Follow Dr Ashok Rajgopal says he has performed knee replacement surgery on a number of leading yoga gurus. His warnings are a serious challenge to those who say yoga, which is now a multi-billion pound global industry, can ward off the effects of ageing and leave devotees feeling fitter, stronger and at peace with the world. Some of its most charismatic teachers, like India's Baba Ramdev, who has built a worldwide empire through television appearances, believe its breathing exercises can even cure diseases like HIV Aids and cancer. In the United States alone, more than £4 billion a year is spent on yoga equipment and 15 million people are regular practitioners. But according to Dr Rajgopal, the extreme stretching exercises at the heart of the discipline cause severe stress on joints, leading to arthritis. He has seen a higher incidence of joint and bone ailments among yoga followers. \"\" Yoga is wonderful provided it is done in a controlled environment, and people are trained and built up to doing such postures but putting the public at large through these extreme yoga postures can create problems for them,\"\" he said. \"\" Many yoga gurus had to undergo knee surgeries, they had been affected by yoga postures,\"\" he told The Daily Telegraph. \"\" Extreme postures like acute deep knee bends, particularly for people who are not used to doing these postures, it is definitely harmful to them in terms of the abnormal stresses, and damage to cartilages."

Scott Harrell Current technology has progressed to a point that small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS), essentially hobby sized remote controlled airplanes and helicopters, are more accessible now than ever before, both in terms of their relatively low prices and ease of flight control for new RC pilots. Quadcopters like the DJI Phantom series seem almost ubiquitous now – they are everywhere. Cameras, too, have come along way; they are smaller, lighter, shoot in much higher resolutions and have better lenses.

Erika P. Rodriguez for The New York Times Read the latest on Hurricane Maria with Friday’s live updates. Puerto Rico remained in the throes of chaos and devastation Thursday as the remnants of Hurricane Maria continued to dump rain on the island — up to three feet in some areas. Flash flood warnings persisted, according to the National Hurricane Center, with “catastrophic” flooding “especially in areas of mountainous terrain. ”The strikingly powerful storm had rendered an estimated 3.4 million people without power, and with the territory’s energy grid all but destroyed, Gov. Ricardo Rosselló predicted a long period of recovery. Anxious relatives in the mainland United States and elsewhere took to social media in an effort to find news of their loved ones. Late Thursday, the mayor of Toa Baja, a town in northern Puerto Rico, told The New York Times that eight people had drowned there after flooding. That brought to at least 10 the number who have died in Puerto Rico as a result of Hurricane Maria, a toll that is expected to climb. Puerto Rico faces numerous obstacles as it begins to emerge from the storm: the weight of an extended debt and bankruptcy crisis; a recovery process begun after Irma, which killed at least three people and left nearly 70 percent of households without power; the difficulty of getting to an island far from the mainland; and the strain on relief efforts by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other groups already spread thin in the wake of several recent storms."

The character portrays beauty and purity in all aspects of life. The character in the game inevitably dies trying to save the planet. Another version of the name can also be Aerith. In researching the name, I found that in Latin and Gaelic, \"\"aer\"\" and \"\"aeris\"\" can mean air, atmosphere or weather. Interestingly, if you check ancestry.com, there are some people in the U.

In fact, he was considered a good and kind man. Here’s what Grand Maester Pycelle tells Ros about him in episode 10, season 1 of Game of Thrones : Pycelle : He was a good man. Such a charmer. To watch him melt away right before my eyes…consumed by dreams of fire and blood…The above lines said by Pycelle clears that Aerys was a good and kind king. But the main thing to notice here is the line “Consumed by dreams of fire and blood”. It clearly indicates that Aerys was not himself, rather he was occupied by dreams of fire and blood, where “fire and blood” represent his possession to burn every living thing. It was like someone else had occupied him, or somebody has warged into him. And we know a person that can go back in the past and warg into someone to completely change his personal self."

Based on the long, plot-heavy novels by George R. R. Martin, the HBO show (premiering Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT) is bursting with more characters and settings than you can swing a broadsword at. Game of Thrones is a political potboiler crossed with the essence of medieval legend, as ambitious and power-hungry lords and ladies vie for the throne, unleashing a violent and dangerous game that threatens the tenuous peace of this feudal society. The world of Martin's novels—which contain maps, character lineages, and a slew of appendices to keep readers on the right path—is a complicated one, containing separate and sometimes interconnected storylines, told from varying perspectives, that reward paying strict attention. But the devil is in the details, and the HBO series is shoehorning in 800-plus pages of details, backstories, and legends into 10 episodes. We're here for you, newbie. Who the hell is the Kingslayer? What in God's name is a wildling? Why do they keep saying \"\"winter is coming\"\"—who cares about winter?

The Hand is the King's closest advisor, appointed and authorized to make decisions on behalf of the King's name. The Hand of the King is the highest-ranking member of the Small Council, and leads meetings of the council as proxy for the king when the monarch is absent. Hands of the King are addressed as \"\"Lord Hand\"\". A hand is often used as the symbol of the Hand of the King, such as on the wax seals of letters. Hands of the King often wear a badge of office shaped like a hand, such as a brooch or a gold necklace with a repeated hand design. During the reign of strong and able kings, the Hand is the chief agent for coordinating and carrying out the king's plans."

If you haven’t seen the finale yet, proceed with caution. If you have, charge right in. But don’t say we didn’t try to warn you, because we really, really did. O. K., well, that was a big deal. It would appear that Jon Snow is dead and gone for good, wouldn’t it? Given George R. R. Martin’s tendency to kill off main characters, it’s not the most inconceivable outcome.

When Rhaegar showed little interest in being a warrior and constantly book in hand as a child, Aerys scoffed at the Baelor the Blessed reborn. Even after Rhaegar presented himself to Ser Willem Darry, the Master at Arms, and asked to be trained saying, “It seems I must be a warrior,” Aerys gave no signs he was proud or fond of his melancholy son. When Rhaegar presented his firstborn, Rhaenys, with his wife, Elia Martell, Aerys sole response was “Smells Dornish.” Even accounting for the exaggeration of a pro-Tywin post-Rebellion Maester Yandel, the relationship appears to have been sour from the start. It could be that Aerys associated Rhaegar with the Tragedy of Summerhall and Rhaegar’s birth as much as Rhaegar did. It could also be that Rhaegar was his mother’s son and Aerys did not care for his sister-wife. Rhaegar’s early bookishness and his love of music and playing his harp could not have helped the situation. George R. R. Martin frequently explores the fraught relationship between fathers and children. It appears to be no different than with Rhaegar and Aerys."

"text": "Editorial Who is Rhaegar Targaryen, and why does he matter?by Corey Smith 2 years ago Follow @courtsidecorey Tweet Share x Comment Despite playing what many book-readers would consider the most pivotal role in recent Westerosi history, Rhaegar Targaryen remains a mostly unknown quantity for show-watchers. Even after Rhaegar’s death on the end of Robert Baratheon’s hammer at the Trident, his actions reverberate down through the years, influencing the lives of our favorite Houses. For those who are only fans of the show, Rhaegar Targaryen’s identity and actions are murky at best, as he crops up in the show only when mentioned by others, usually by Robert Baratheon or Rhaegar’s younger sister Daenerys Targaryen, or our Mother of Dragons. With a little help from the books, let’s take a deeper look in life of one of Westeros’ most controversial figures. There are no outright SPOILERS here, but there are clues from the books that have not been presented on the show. You have been warned. Rhaegar was born during the Tragedy at Sumerhall, the first born son of the future Mad King, Aerys Targaryen and his sister-wife Rhaella Targaryen. Sumerhall was exactly what it sounds like: a summer vacation spot for the Targaryen royal family. The details of what occurred at Summerhall are sketchy, but the rumor is that the Targaryens were trying to hatch dragon eggs through some sort of magical ritual that involved a lot of fire. Whatever they were doing, it went horribly wrong."

There are some interesting examples of obligate aerobes in the microbial world. Some are useful, some are dangerous, and others are part of our healthy body. Obligate Aerobes Have you ever traveled somewhere really high up? Maybe you've driven through some mountains or even stayed there for awhile. It's not uncommon in those circumstances to suffer from symptoms such as breathlessness and headaches. This can happen because we are obligate aerobes. What does that mean? An obligate aerobe is an organism that needs at least 20% oxygen in its surroundings to grow. The term obligate, as in 'obligatory' or 'required,' suggests that oxygen is absolutely essential for the survival and multiplication of obligate aerobes."

Aerobic literally means \"\"living in air\"\", and refers to the use of oxygen to adequately meet energy demands during exercise via aerobic metabolism. Generally, light-to-moderate intensity activities that are sufficiently supported by aerobic metabolism can be performed for extended periods of time. The intensity should be between 60 and 85% of maximum heart rate. When practiced in this way, examples of cardiovascular/aerobic exercise are medium to long distance running/jogging, swimming, cycling, and walking, according to the first extensive research on aerobic exercise, conducted in the 1960s on over 5,000 U. S. Air Force personnel by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper.

"text": "\"Defined Terms Aerobic activities use the larger muscle groups over an extended time period where the energy is supplied by the oxygen utilizing process. Sample activities include walking, jogging, swimming, and cycling. Aerobic capacity is the highest amount of oxygen consumed during maximal exercise in activities that use the large muscle groups in the legs or arms and legs combined. Aerobic capacity, aerobic power, functional capacity, functional aerobic capacity, maximal functional capacity, cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiovascular fitness, maximal oxygen intake, and maximal oxygen uptake are terms that are often used interchangeably. Aerobic conditioning is regular physical training in aerobic activities over an extended period of time. Aerobic fitness is the capacity to exercise in aerobic activities for a prolonged period where the amount of activity depends on aerobic capacity and cardiorespiratory endurance. Agility is a skill-related component of physical fitness that relates to the ability to rapidly change the position of the entire body in space with speed and accuracy. Anaerobic exercise is intense activity requiring energy production without using oxygen. Anaerobic means in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic threshold defines the upper limit of exercise intensity that can be sustained aerobically."

"text": "Instructor: Meredith Mikell Aerobic respiration is the process most living things undergo to use food energy. Here, we will investigate the definition, the steps of the process, what goes in and what comes out of the process, and the chemical formula. Get ready to breathe!Aerobic Respiration Take a deep breath...now exhale. Do you feel it? Every time you breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, you are exchanging gases that are a crucial part of your energy metabolism. We don't normally equate oxygen and breathing with metabolizing food, yet the latter cannot occur without the former. Most living organisms undergo this process, from single-celled bacteria to the multi-celled blue whale. While many microorganisms can accomplish this task within their single cell, we larger macroorganisms have evolved body organs dedicated to efficiently obtaining enough oxygen, and eliminating enough carbon dioxide, to undergo enough aerobic respiration to fuel our large, complex selves. Definition of Aerobic Respiration Respiration is the metabolic process of most living things in which food molecules or glucose are turned into usable energy for the cell, called ATP. Respiration is the anti-process to photosynthesis, the process in which plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide to build food molecules releasing oxygen as a waste product."

"text": "Full Answer Aerobic endurance relies on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of the body. The respiratory system consists of the lungs, which are responsible for transporting oxygen that is taken in by the nose and mouth to the blood. The cardiovascular system, which includes the heart, veins and arteries, provides the means by which blood travels through the body, delivering nutrients and oxygen. Aerobic endurance is important in all exercise and athletic activities. In endurance sports, such as distance running, the body must be able to supply blood and oxygen constantly for an extended period of time. For sports that require explosive action over a shorter period of time, such as weightlifting or football, aerobic endurance helps the body to recover more quickly. Aerobic endurance can be improved by performing any aerobic exercise. These exercises are typically performed at a moderate intensity level for extended durations. The key principle in this form of exercise is to increase the heart rate consistently for a certain period of time. As a result, oxygen is used to burn fat and glucose."

"text": "\"» Home » Fitness Wellness »Definition of Cardiovascular Endurance By Mack Le Mouse | Fitness Wellness | Rating: The definition of cardiovascular endurance simply put is the body’s ability to continue exertion while getting energy from the aerobic system used to supply the body with energy. This is the system that kicks in third after the phosphogen and the glycogen lactic acid system, and so the one that supplies energy to the human circulatory system and the muscles over extended periods. Cardiovascular endurance is most useful for long distance sports; for marathon training, long distance running, jogging and swimming, however it will also be useful for everyone else and a lack of it will lead to individuals becoming quickly tired and out of breath. In a marathon, the person who comes first (while allowing for injury or general poor technique) will generally be the person with the best cardiovascular fitness. To fully understand the definition of cardiovascular endurance, it’s important to understand how the body utilises energy to power its muscles. Essentially, all energy in the body of every living organisms comes from a substance called ‘ATP’, the ‘energy currency’ of life on Earth. ATP stands for ‘Andenosine Triphosphate’, a name that describes the chemical composition of the substance. ATP you see is an adenine nucleotide made up of three phosphates attached by powerful high-energy bonds. When these bonds are broken they release energy, which the body then utilises to power the muscles etc and which forms the basis of the posphogen system, powering the body for 3 seconds using the ATP stored in the muscles. As well as giving off energy however, the phosphogen system also has two other by-products, ADP and AMP, which stands for Andenosine Diphosphate and Andenosine Monophosphate respectively."

Here, we will explore how this process works, its definition, and its chemical equation. What Is Alcohol Fermentation? Bread, beer, and Bordeaux: most of us love some or all of these! But they would not exist if not for yeast, a eukaryotic microorganism that can metabolize sugars anaerobically through a pathway called alcohol fermentation. Humans have been using yeasts to make these products for thousands of years, but only learned of their existence in the last two hundred years. How exactly do these tiny creatures make these delicious food and drink items? Alcohol fermentation, also known as ethanol fermentation, is the anaerobic pathway carried out by yeasts in which simple sugars are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Yeasts typically function under aerobic conditions, or in the presence of oxygen, but are also capable of functioning under anaerobic conditions, or in the absence of oxygen. When no oxygen is readily available, alcohol fermentation occurs in the cytosol of yeast cells."

"text": "Anaerobic Respiration The first step in cellular respiration in all living cells is glycolysis, which can take place without the presence of molecular oxygen. If oxygen is present in the cell, then the cell can subsequently take advantage of aerobic respiration via the TCA cycle to produce much more usable energy in the form of ATP than any anaerobic pathway. Nevertheless, the anaerobic pathways are important and are the sole source of ATP for many anaerobic bacteria. Eukaryotic cells also resort to anaerobic pathways if their oxygen supply is low. For example, when muscle cells are working very hard and exhaust their oxygen supply, they utilize the anaerobic pathway to lactic acid to continue to provide ATP for cell function. Glycolysis itself yields two ATP molecules, so it is the first step of anaerobic respiration. Pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, can be used in fermentation to produce ethanol and NAD + or for the production of lactate and NAD +. The production of NAD + is crucial because glycolysis requires it and would cease when its supply was exhausted, resulting in cell death. A general sketch of the anaerobic steps is shown below. It follows Karp's organization."

We can classify organisms according to their source of energy and organic carbon:heterotrophs – get energy and organic carbon from metabolism of pre-existing organic compounds (food)photoautotrophs – use energy from sunlight to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxidechemoautotrophs – use energy from inorganic chemicals to make ATP and their own organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide Metabolic pathways carry out reactions that capture energy from these various sources (organic compounds, sunlight or chemicals) and couple them to synthesis of ATP from ADP. Summary of cellular respiration essentials To make ATP, all a cell needs is a membrane, a gradient of protons across the membrane, a membrane-localized molecular machine called ATP synthase, and ADP and inorganic phosphate. The energy to power ATP synthesis comes from the proton gradient across the membrane. Heterotrophs, phototrophs and chemotrophs differ in the source of energy used to create and maintain the proton gradient – either chemical energy from organic molecules (heterotrophs), light energy (phototrophs), or chemical energy from inorganic molecules (chemotrophs). Regardless of the source of energy, the proton gradient is created by the flow of electrons down an electron transport chain*. Components of the electron transport chain couple electron transfers (oxidation-reduction reactions) to active transport of protons across the membrane, a process called chemiosmosis. In cellular respiration, the electrons for the electron transport chain come from NADH (which gets electrons from food molecules), and ultimately go to oxygen, or another terminal electron acceptor, to form water molecules. We define cellular respiration as the flow of electrons down the electron transport chain, and oxidative phosphorylation refers to the coupling of electron transfer reactions (oxidation-reduction reactions) to phosphorylation of ADP to make ATP. * except in some phototrophic archaea that use bacteriorhodopsin to directly pump protons across the membrane using light energy – we’ll see that in the section on photosynthesis.

This produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. If oxygen is absent (anaerobic) in animal cells, such as muscle, 3C Pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid. In plant cells, such as yeast, pyruvic acid is converted to 2C Ethanol + CO2 (fermentation) In both of the above only 2 ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecule respired. If oxygen is present (aerobic), pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrion to the fluid matrix where Kreb's cycle stages occur. During Kreb's cycle Citric acid is initially formed and is then broken down in a series of enzyme controlled rections releasing CO2 (waste product) and hydrogen. Hydrogen is picked up by a hydrogen carrier molecule called NAD and transported to the hydrogen carrier sytem (Cytochrome sytem) on the cristae of the mitochondrion for the final stage of respiration. Cytochrome system."

All cells must perform cellular respiration to get energy and stay alive, but not all organisms can do aerobic cellular respiration. Find out in this lesson if prokaryotic organisms can use oxygen to do cellular respiration and how the process works. Prokaryotic Organisms What are prokaryotes? They are simple, usually single-celled organisms. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus; instead the DNA is packed up in the middle of the cell. They also have ribosomes to make proteins and a membrane and cell wall to contain the contents of the cell. Prokaryotes do not have specialized organelles like the more complex eukaryotes (like us humans). Prokaryotes include bacteria, those organisms you hear about on the news causing rampant disease and destruction (but most of them are not so bad). The other kind are archaea, which usually live in extreme environments that are too hot, cold, salty, or alkaline for other cells to live."

The life-support processes of even the most structurally simple organism involve a large number of complex biochemical reactions. Most, although not all, of the biochemical processes of bacteria also occur in eukaryotic microbes and in the cells of multicellular organisms, including humans. However, the reactions that are unique to bacteria are fascinating because they allow microorganisms to do things we cannot do. For example, some bacteria can live on cellulose, whereas others can live on petroleum. Through their metabolism, bacteria recycle elements after other organisms have used them. Still other bacteria can live on diets of such inorganic substances as carbon dioxide, iron, sulfur, hydrogen gas, and ammonia. This chapter examines some representative chemical reactions that either produce energy (the catabolic reactions) or use energy (the anabolic reactions) in microorganisms.

Similarities Between Bacteria and Semiautonomous Organelles Since the symbiotic hypothesis states that mitochondria and chloroplasts arose from bacteria entering a eukaryotic cell to form a symbiotic relationship, similarities between bacteria and these semiautonomous organelles show strong evidence that this hypothesis is correct. Function Mitochondria share very similar characteristics with purple-aerobic bacteria. They both use oxygen in the production of ATP, and they both do this by using the Kreb’s Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. ( mitochondria on the left and purple aerobic bacteria on the right)Chloroplasts are very similar to photosynthetic bacteria in that they both have very similar chlorophyll that harness light energy to convert into chemical energy. ( Chloroplast on the left and photosynthetic bacteria on the right)Although there are many similarities between mitochondria and purple aerobic bacteria and chloroplasts and photosynthetic bacteria, they appear to be slight and to have arisen via evolution. Size Size of mitochondria and chloroplasts in comparison to bacteria is another simple observation that supports the endosymbiotic hypothesis. Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and prokaryotes (bacteria) range from about one to ten microns in size. ( 1 micron=1X10 -6 Meters) This seems very basic, but if there was a large difference in sizes between these three components, the hypothesis would appear to be false. DNA, RNA, Ribosomes and Protein Synthesis The first piece of evidence that needed to be found to support the endosymbiotic hypothesis was whether or not mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA and if this DNA is similar to bacterial DNA."

Some organisms, called autotrophs, can produce their own energy using sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. Others, like humans, need to eat food in order to produce energy. However, that is not the type of energy cells use to function. Instead, they use a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to keep themselves going. The cells, therefore, must have a way to take the chemical energy stored in food and transform it into the ATP they need to function. The process cells undergo to make this change is called cellular respiration. Two Types of Cellular Processes Cellular respiration can be aerobic (meaning \"\"with oxygen\"\") or anaerobic (\"\"without oxygen\"\").

Gradually, the forces of natural selection worked on these simple organisms until eventually they became bigger, more sophisticated and more intricate. Organisms increased in size not only because the individual cells grew but also because multiple cells-in some cases many millions-came together to form a cohesive whole. The crucial event in this transition was the emergence of a new cell type-the eukaryote. The eukaryote had structural features that allowed it to communicate better than did existing cells with the environment and with other cells, features that paved the way for cellular aggregation and multicellular life. In contrast, the more primitive prokaryotes were less well equipped for intercellular communication and could not readily organize into multicellular organisms. Today both eukaryotes and prokaryotes still exist. Eukaryotes can be found variously as single-celled organisms called protists, and as organized systems in multicellular organisms.

"text": "Exercise Physiology The Lactate Threshold Add Comment by J Anderson 61,599 Views If VO2 max is your aerobic endurance potential then your lactate threshold plays a significant role in how much of that potential you are tapping. Lactate threshold has been defined as: The point during exercise of increasing intensity at which blood lactate begins to accumulate above resting levels, where lactate clearance is no longer able to keep up with lactate production. ( 3)During low intensity exercise, blood lactate remains at or near to resting levels. As exercise intensity increases there comes a break point where blood lactate levels rise sharply (4,5). Researchers in the past have suggested that this signifies a significant shift from predominantly aerobic metabolism to predominantly anaerobic energy production. Several terms have been used to describe this shift and many coaches and athletes believe it is the same phenomenon: Lactate threshold Anaerobic threshold Aerobic threshold Onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA)Maximal lactate steady state Although these terms are used interchangeably, they do not describe the same thing. Lactate accumulation only determines the balance between lactate production and its clearance and suggests nothing about the availability or lack of oxygen so the terms aerobic and anaerobic become a bit misleading. The reasons for lactate accumulation are complex and varied and not yet fully understood. For more information on this topic see the lactic acid article. OBLA At a slightly higher exercise intensity than lactate threshold a second increase in lactate accumulation can be seen and is often referred to as the onset of blood lactate accumulation or OBLA."

Aerobic Capacity is dependent on The respiratory system, (consume O2), heart (transport O2), vascular system (transport O2), muscle cells (use O2)Define VO2 Max The highest rate of oxygen consumption attainable during maximal/exhaustive work. Explain how individual physiological makeup affects VO2 Max VO2 Max is primarily linked to an efficient respiratory system, but it is the contribution of the heart, circulatory system and muscle efficiency that collectively allows an athlete to increase their aerobic capacity. The higher the VO2 Max, the greater potential the athlete has to work at a higher level of their VO2 Max, just below the anaerobic threshold, thereby increasing their work intensity and delaying fatigue. Explain how heredity/genetics affects VO2 Max Can account for as much as half the variation in VO2 Max, e.g. whether an athlete has a higher percentage of Type I and Type IIa (FOG) oxidative fibers. Similarly an athlete's response to training varies because of genetic variation and therefore their individual level of adaptation may affect how much their VO2 Max may increase. However, heredity only indicates an individual's potential to have a high VO2 Max - it is ultimately the aerobic training they undertake that helps them achieve their full potential. Explain how aerobic training affects VO2 Max Specificity of training ensures that a programme of aerobic training will increase VO2 Max due to the long-term adaptations to aerobic training, and links directly to an athlete's individual response to training."

"text": "\"FITNESS GLOSSARY > Anaerobic Exercise Anaerobic Exercise< Back to Glossary Anaerobic Exercise Anaerobic means \"\"without air\"\", and refers to the energy exchange in living tissue that is independent of oxygen. Anaerobic exercise is brief, high intensity activity where anaerobic metabolism is taking place in muscles. During extended periods of exercise aerobic metabolism supplies the bulk of the energy and the exercise is termed aerobic exercise. Examples of anaerobic exercise include weight lifting, sprinting, and jumping; any exercise that consists of short exertion, high-intensity movement, is an anaerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercise is typically used by athletes in non-endurance sports to build power and by body builders to build muscle mass. Muscles that are trained under anaerobic conditions develop biologically differently giving them greater performance in short duration-high intensity activities. Aerobic exercise, on the other hand, includes lower intensity activities performed for longer periods of time. Activities like walking, running, swimming, and cycling require a great deal of oxygen to generate the energy needed for prolonged exercise. There are two types of anaerobic energy system, the ATP-PC energy system, which uses creatine phosphate as the main energy source, and the lactic-acid (or anaerobic glycolysis) system that uses glucose (or glycogen) in the absence of oxygen. The latter is an inefficient use of glucose and produces by-products that are thought to be detrimental to muscle function."

"text": "What is Lactate and Lactate Threshold July 17, 2014 By Iñigo San Millán, Ph DLactate threshold has been a term used for many years across all sports and it is one of the most daily pronounced terms in the world of training by athletes and coaches worldwide. However, do we really know what lactate threshold is? Furthermore, do we know what lactate is and its role in performance and metabolism? The fact is that there is still too much confusion regarding what lactate is as well as what lactate threshold represents. What is Lactate? Lactate is a great unknown in human metabolism despite its key role in regulating metabolism. For many years it has been thought that lactate was just a waste product as a result of anaerobic exercise or even a waste product of exercise that would crystalize resulting in muscle soreness. Nevertheless, lactate has been subject of study for many years and by important scientists including several Nobel Laureates. Lactate studies date back from the 19th century when a Nobel Laureate, Louis Pasteur in 1863 proposed that lactate was produced by lack of oxygen during muscle contraction. Another Nobel Laureate, Otto Meyerhof described in 1920 that glycogen was a precursor of lactate."

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

Translating Scientific Evidence About Total Amount and Intensity of Physical Activity Into Guidelines This appendix discusses two issues that arise when translating scientific evidence into physical activity guidance for the public: In scientific terms, total weekly physical activity in the range of 500 to 1,000 MET-minutes produces substantial health benefits for adults. How should this finding be simplified and translated into Guidelines that are understandable by the public? Two methods are used to assess the intensity of aerobic physical activity, termed \"\"absolute intensity\"\" and \"\"relative intensity.\"\" Should the Guidelines specify one method or allow both? After discussing background information related to these questions, this appendix explains the approach taken on these two issues in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Background For More Information See Chapter 1—Introducing the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, for details on the Advisory Committee and its report. The Guidelines are derived from an evidence-based report on the health benefits of physical activity, written by the Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee. As background, this appendix first briefly explains the concept of METs and MET-minutes. It then discusses three key findings of the Advisory Committee report, and finally discusses the difference between absolute and relative intensity."

"text": "Cardiorespiratory Endurance Trainingby SHANNON GEORGE Sept. 11, 2017Cardiorespiratory endurance -- also referred to as cardiovascular fitness, cardiorespiratory fitness or aerobic fitness -- is an essential component of both physical fitness and all-around good health. Specifically, cardiorespiratory endurance refers to the ability of the heart, lungs and circulatory system to deliver oxygen to working muscles for sustained periods of time. A cardiorespiratory endurance training program should include activities that elevate the heart rate and involve the body's large muscle groups. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Don't Worry, Be Healthy Building cardiorespiratory endurance through regular physical activity allows your heart and lungs to work more efficiently, thereby improving your physical capacity to deal with stress and lowering your risk factors for several chronic diseases. Regular physical activity helps control obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol -- with a net result of cutting your heart disease risk almost in half, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC. By providing weight control, regular exercise also cuts your risk factors for developing Type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. Additionally, building cardiorespiratory endurance benefits mental health by providing a buffer against anxiety and depression. This is How We Do It If performed regularly and for sufficient periods of time, any activity that elevates the heart rate and involves the body's large muscle groups -- such as those in the legs, chest, arms, or back -- helps build cardiorespiratory endurance. Some examples of cardio-building large muscle group activities include: walking at a brisk speed, jogging, bicycling, swimming and dancing. Even doing household chores such as gardening or vacuuming can help build cardiorespiratory endurance."

The thoughts eventually shift to the top sprinters and the expectations we both have for the upcoming season. If girls or boys ran 12.5 or 11.0 last year, you just assume that they will improve through maturation. But sometimes our expectations are not always met with the hoped for results. If you eliminate the distractions of approaching graduation, boy and girlfriends, jobs, parental pressure, etc., your kid should run better (the good ones are able to manage all of the other static, which includes the coach as well). And running better is what I am the most concerned with. Getting the sprinter to run faster than ever before through a systematic approach to the energy systems needed to produce the needed performance.

"text": "Concepts in Human Factors Engineering (Part 8 of 11)Concepts in Human Factors Engineering (8): Human Body Energyby Dennis R Andrews Ph D, PSP, CECDBy Dennis R Andrews Ph D, PSP, CECD ( Expert Pages member profile page)The body needs energy and takes in nutrients in the form of food it stores this energy for future use. Metabolism is a term used to define the use of stored energy and the chemical process. The human body can be considered or thought of as a machine. A machine receives its energy from either a liquid fuel or electricity. Either of these sources must be created such as crude oil into usable fuel and generating electricity. The human body does the same basic function; it turns the intake of food into usable energy. We previously equated the human body with cylinders, pistons or gears. Metabolism is a chemical process for creating usable energy in our bodies. The human body must balance the intake and output of energy so that the body is not excessively depleted, which can be dangerous. Muscles can be considered as the power for levers, which actually perform the desired work."

"text": "Running The running blog Dean Karnazes: the man who can run for ever Most runners have to stop when they reach their lactate threshold, but Dean Karnazes' muscles never tire: he can run for three days and nights without stopping. What's his secret? Supported by About this content David Cox Fri 30 Aug 2013 06.58 EDT06.58 EDT19,209311Dean Karnazes running in Tuolumne Meadows, California. Click on the image to see a full-length picture. Photograph: Patitucci Photo From club runners to Olympians, every athlete has a limit. Scientifically, this limit is defined as the body’s lactate threshold and when you exercise beyond it, running rapidly becomes unpleasant. We’ve all experienced that burning feeling – heart pounding, lungs gasping for air – as your muscles begin to fatigue, eventually locking up altogether as your body shuts down. However, there is one man whose physiological performance defies all convention: Dean Karnazes is an ultrarunner from California and, at times, it seems as if he can run for ever. Fastest runner dressed as a lobster – and other bizarre marathon records Read more Karnazes has completed some of the toughest endurance events on the planet, from a marathon to the South Pole in temperatures of -25C to the legendary Marathon des Sables, but in his entire life he has never experienced any form of muscle burn or cramp, even during runs exceeding 100 miles. It means his only limits are in the mind."

"text": "\"Ask an Expert: The benefits of aerobic exercise Q: \"\"My husband does a lot of strength training, but refuses to include any aerobic exercise in his routine. I'm worried that he's losing out on some important health benefits, but he doesn't buy it. Can you convince him? \"\" Answer provided by Bruce Rife, lead fitness specialist: Aerobic exercise is considered by most experts to be the single most important component of fitness. Studies have shown that people who do regular continuous exercise will live longer, have a greater work capacity, and will decrease their risk of coronary artery disease, cancer and diabetes. Aerobic fitness can be defined as the ability of the body’s cardiovascular and muscular systems to provide the necessary energy to sustain activity that uses the large muscle groups over an extended period of time. To reach aerobic fitness, a person must engage in continuous activity like jogging, walking, cycling, stair climbing, rowing, or swimming at an intensity level you can maintain for at least 30 minutes, three to seven days per week. For individuals just starting their exercise program, remember to start slow and gradually increase intensity and duration. Beginning exercisers can start with 15-20 minutes of a low intensity activity, like easy walking, three times per week. As your fitness level increases, first increase the duration and then the intensity of your workouts."

In this lesson, you'll learn about the characteristics of aerobic exercise and its many health benefits. You will also read about examples of different types of aerobic workouts. What is Aerobic Exercise? Picture yourself working out. Are you lifting heavy weights? Stretching your muscles? Or maybe you're performing an activity that causes you to sweat and breathe hard that makes your blood pump through your veins as it carries oxygen to your muscles to keep you going. If you're performing this last activity, then you're engaging in aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is any physical activity that makes you sweat, causes you to breathe harder, and gets your heart beating faster than at rest."

Muscle A top-down view of skeletal muscle Details Precursor Mesoderm System Musculoskeletal system Identifiers Latin musculus Me SH D009132TA A04.0.00.000FMA 32558Anatomical terminology [ edit on Wikidata]Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals. Muscle cells contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another, producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. Muscles function to produce force and motion. They are primarily responsible for maintaining and changing posture, locomotion, as well as movement of internal organs, such as the contraction of the heart and the movement of food through the digestive system via peristalsis. Muscle tissues are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells in a process known as myogenesis. There are three types of muscle, skeletal or striated, cardiac, and smooth. Muscle action can be classified as being either voluntary or involuntary. Cardiac and smooth muscles contract without conscious thought and are termed involuntary, whereas the skeletal muscles contract upon command.

Here's a look at what exercise intensity means, and how to maximize your workout. Choosing your exercise intensity How hard should you be exercising? The Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines for most healthy adults: Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity — such as brisk walking, swimming or mowing the lawn — or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity — such as running or aerobic dancing. You can also do a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. It's best to do this over the course of a week. Strength training."

"text": "Treadmill Science: A Look at Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise Treadmill Science: A Look at Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise Respiration is usually understood to refer to the act of pulmonary respiration. Breathing in oxygen and breathing out the waste products of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2 O). Every cell in our body also undergoes a process known as respiration (cellular respiration). Cellular respiration begins with a process that splits the glucose within the cells making it readily available as a source of energy. This process can occur without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) or in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration). Anaerobic respiration generates more excess waste (lactate) than does aerobic exercise. Lactate allows the release of energy from cells without the presence of oxygen which originally came in handy when man relied on the fight or flight mechanism needed to escape his enemies or chase down dinner. The problem is it can only be sustained for about three minutes, after that, high levels of lactate build within the muscle cells. Excess lactate slows the cellular respiratory process and is experienced as a burning sensation in the muscles if exercise continues. Our scientific reviews have also found the Proform treadmill, the Sole treadmill and the Horizon treadmill brand (and for a little different workout try a Bowflex) to be the best overall."

"text": "\"Princeton's Word Net (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition:aerobics, aerobic exercise (noun)exercise that increases the need for oxygen Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Aerobic exercise Aerobic exercise is physical exercise of relatively low intensity that depends primarily on the aerobic energy-generating process. Aerobic literally means \"\"living in air\"\", and refers to the use of oxygen to adequately meet energy demands during exercise via aerobic metabolism. Generally, light-to-moderate intensity activities that are sufficiently supported by aerobic metabolism can be performed for extended periods of time. The intensity should be between 60 and 85% of maximum heart rate. When practiced in this way, examples of cardiovascular/aerobic exercise are medium to long distance running/jogging, swimming, cycling, and walking, according to the first extensive research on aerobic exercise, conducted in the 1960s on over 5,000 U. S. Air Force personnel by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper.

"text": "Definition of Cardiovascular Fitness By Karen Frazier Personal Trainer Source Are you looking for a definition of cardiovascular fitness? This article will define it and provide some tips for achieving optimal cardiovascular fitness. The Definition of Cardiovascular Fitness The definition of cardiovascular fitness is the capacity of the cardiovascular system (heart, lungs and vessels) to efficiently supply oxygenated blood to working muscles, as well as the muscles to use the oxygen delivered by the blood supply as a source of energy for movement. In other words, the definition of cardiovascular fitness is how well and efficiently your blood circulates through your body. The Importance of Cardiovascular Fitness Why is cardiovascular fitness important? A healthy circulatory system goes a long way to preventing a number of life threatening diseases. Maintaining cardiovascular fitness can help to prevent: Peripheral artery disease Blood clots Congestive heart failure Heart attack Stroke High blood pressure Arterial blockage Ischemia Coronary artery disease Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)Insulin resistance syndrome Angina Cardiac Arrhythmia The Keys to Cardiovascular Fitness Cardiovascular fitness doesn't just happen. There are a number of things that you can do to make sure that your cardiovascular system is fit and healthy. Don't Smoke Smoking is one of the leading contributors to heart disease and a number of other cardiovascular ailments. If you are a smoker, it's not too late for you."

"text": "How Does Exercise Affect Breathing?by FRED DIMENNA Aug. 14, 2017When you are exercising aerobically, your muscles consume more oxygen and produce more carbon dioxide than they do at rest. These gases are exchanged with the atmosphere when you breathe. This means that during an aerobic exercise session, you must breathe more and when this overload is encountered on a regular basis, the way you breathe is altered. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Minute Ventilation Minute ventilation is the volume of air you breathe in a minute. Minute ventilation is measured in liters and can be calculated by multiplying tidal volume by breathing rate. Tidal volume is the volume of air that you inhale with each breath and breathing rate is the number of breaths you take each minute. During normal quiet breathing at rest, the typical minute ventilation of 6 liters is achieved by a tidal volume of 0.5 liters and a breathing rate of 12 breaths per minute. During Exercise Minute ventilation increases during exercise because both tidal volume and breathing rate increase. At relatively low exercise intensities, tidal volume and breathing rate increase proportionally. However, at higher relative intensities, tidal volume reaches a plateau and further increases in minute ventilation depend exclusively upon increasing breathing rate."

Before you can answer the question, \"\"why is cardiovascular fitness important? \"\", you need to understand the meaning of cardiovascular fitness. Cardiovascular fitness is often called aerobic exercise. There are two factors that distinguish cardiovascular fitness from other types of exercise. Cardiovascular fitness enhances the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen-rich blood to the working muscles. Cardiovascular fitness enhances the muscle's ability to use this oxygen to supply adequate energy for movement. What Activities Enhance Cardiovascular Fitness?

The difference is that the study of exercise physiology is specific to the body's response and adaptation to exercise. However, it is more than running faster or longer. Exercise testing, exercise prescription, exercise nutrition, and cardiac rehabilitation are equally important subject areas. Heart patients, for example, can benefit from exercise physiology just as athletes do. Cardiovascular and metabolic effects and mechanisms are at the heart of understanding exercise physiology. Part of this understanding and what we think exercise physiologists do depends upon the definition of what is an exercise physiologist. Once the definition is understood, then one goes about defining responsibilities. But, what if the definition is too narrow, too board, or simply wrong? What then?"

Many people know that monitoring their heart rate during exercise helps them determine how hard they are working. And others know that exercising at an intensity that keeps their heart rate in a specific range will result in a \"\"training\"\" effect. But, recently, new research has revealed other ways you can use your heart rate to determine not only how hard you are exercising, but, also how healthy your cardiovascular system is. This review will discuss 4 different ways you can use your heart rate to monitor your fitness. Your personal trainer may not even know some of these details.1) MAXIMUM HEART RATEBefore you can calculate your training heart rate, you first need to determine your maximum heart rate.a) In Non-Athletes: The traditional formula for calculating maximum heart rate is: Max HR = 220 - age However, several years ago, researchers in the department of kinesiology and applied physiology at the University of Colorado in Boulder noticed that this equation underestimated exercise heart rates in older subjects. Hirofumi Tanaka, Ph D, and his group conducted an exhaustive review of 351 studies involving nearly 19,000 subjects and derived a new formula. They then validated it in 514 healthy subjects. They propose: Max HR = 208 - (age x 0.7)In 40-year-old subjects, both formulas yield the same result (ie., 180 beats per minute)."

"text": "\"Aerobic Respiration: Definition, Equation, Evolution and Function November 30, 2017 Oleh abid abdullah AEROBIC RESPIRATION is a biological process that takes energy from glucose and other natural compounds to create a molecule called Adenosine Tri Phosphate (ATP). ATP is then utilized as energy by nearly every cell in the body– the largest user being the muscle system. Aerobic respiration has four stages: Glycolysis, development of acetyl coenzyme A, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transportation chain. Aerobic respiration is the procedure whereby oxygen-breathing animals turn fuel, such as fats and sugars, right into energy. Respiration is a procedure made use of by all cells to transform gas, which has saved energy, right into a usable type. The product of respiration is a molecule called ATP, which can quickly utilize the energy kept in its phosphate bonds to power chain reaction the cell has to make it through. Aerobic respiration is respiration that uses oxygen as a catalyst. Aerobic respiration is a lot more efficient, and produces ATP a lot more rapidly, than anaerobic respiration (respiration without oxygen). This is because oxygen is an outstanding electron acceptor for the chain reaction. The intricate process of aerobic respiration is highlighted in this visuals."

There are two types of anaerobic respiration that you need to know about. The immediate ATP-PC system and the Lactic Acid system. Here we explain how they work and which types of sport and exercise they are more predominantly used. The human body generates energy to make muscles move in three ways. These are known as the aerobic energy system which makes energy by burning fuel with oxygen, ATP-PC system and the Lactic Acid system which both make energy for muscles without oxygen. The term anaerobic means without oxygen. Each energy system is used in differing amounts depending on the sort of exercise. When you think you know it, why not test yourself with our energy systems quizzes!Anaerobic energy systems The anaerobic energy systems kicks in in the first few minutes of all exercise.

Here, we will investigate the definition, the steps of the process, what goes in and what comes out of the process, and the chemical formula. Get ready to breathe!Aerobic Respiration Take a deep breath...now exhale. Do you feel it? Every time you breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, you are exchanging gases that are a crucial part of your energy metabolism. We don't normally equate oxygen and breathing with metabolizing food, yet the latter cannot occur without the former. Most living organisms undergo this process, from single-celled bacteria to the multi-celled blue whale. While many microorganisms can accomplish this task within their single cell, we larger macroorganisms have evolved body organs dedicated to efficiently obtaining enough oxygen, and eliminating enough carbon dioxide, to undergo enough aerobic respiration to fuel our large, complex selves. Definition of Aerobic Respiration Respiration is the metabolic process of most living things in which food molecules or glucose are turned into usable energy for the cell, called ATP. Respiration is the anti-process to photosynthesis, the process in which plants use sunlight and carbon dioxide to build food molecules releasing oxygen as a waste product."

When speaking of red blood cells in particular, what does 'the perpetual anerobic production of ATP' mean? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Cellular respiration is, in its broadest definition, the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes. Oxidation of organic material—in a bonfire, for example—is an exothermic reaction that releases a large amount of energy rather quickly. The overall equation for the oxidation of glucose is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy In cellular respiration, this oxidation process is broken down into two basic metabolic pathways: glycolysis, anaerobic respiration or aerobic respiration. cycles are 1 Glycolysis 2 Breakdown of pyruvate 2.1 Aerobic respiration (Cellular Respiration) 2.2 anaerobic respiration (Fermentation) Main article: Glycolysis Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that is found in all living organisms and does not require oxygen. The process converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, and makes energy in the form of two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. The overall reaction can be expressed this way: Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi → 2 NADH + 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 H2O + 4 H+ The individual steps of the conversion of glucose into pyruvate are (in brief): A glucose molecule from the hydrolysation of starch or glycogen is phosphorylated using one ATP molecule to give glucose-6-phosphate."

Although humans can generate energy anaerobically, they cannot do so for long periods and oxygen is essential for life because it fuels the Krebs Cycle. Without this cycle, there would be no available energy to maintain our vital processes. What is The Krebs Cycle We shall first discuss exactly what the Krebs Cycle is and then its importance in the body. The process takes place within the mitochondria of the body cells. A. The cycle begins with the ten-step pathway of glycolysis, during which glucose is converted to two molecules of pyruvate: no oxygen is required for this step. Basically: Glucose + 2NAD+ + 2P + 2ADP = 2Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2H+ + 2ATPThe pyruvate can then undergo aerobic or anaerobic respiration to generate energy. The Krebs Cycle is the aerobic route, and significantly more efficient that the alternative fermentation. B.

Most organisms have evolved to use oxygen in their metabolic process, whether as a component of respiration or as a product of photosynthesis. But there are many conditions on Earth in which oxygen is absent, and yet, living things still find a way to use function and use energy. How do they pull it off?

"text": "\"Difference Between Aerobic and Anaerobic Fermentation Posted on July 15, 2016 by Thili Key Difference – Aerobic vs Anaerobic Fermentation The term Aerobic fermentation is a misnomer since fermentation is anaerobic, i.e., it does not require Oxygen. Thus, aerobic fermentation does not actually refer to a fermentation process; this process refers to the process of cellular respiration. The key difference between aerobic and anaerobic fermentation is that aerobic fermentation uses oxygen whereas anaerobic fermentation does not use oxygen. The further differences will be discussed in this article. What is Aerobic Fermentation As mentioned above, the term “Aerobic fermentation” is misnamed because fermentation is an anaerobic process. Simply, this is a process of burning simple sugars to energy in cells; more scientifically, it can be called aerobic respiration. It can be defined as the process of producing cellular energy in the presence of oxygen. It roughly produces 36 ATP molecules by breaking down foods in the mitochondria. It includes three steps namely glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and electron transport system. It consumes Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins; the final products of this process are carbon dioxide and water."

"text": "Instructor: Meredith Mikell Humans have benefited from the process of alcohol fermentation for thousands of years. Here, we will explore how this process works, its definition, and its chemical equation. What Is Alcohol Fermentation? Bread, beer, and Bordeaux: most of us love some or all of these! But they would not exist if not for yeast, a eukaryotic microorganism that can metabolize sugars anaerobically through a pathway called alcohol fermentation. Humans have been using yeasts to make these products for thousands of years, but only learned of their existence in the last two hundred years. How exactly do these tiny creatures make these delicious food and drink items? Alcohol fermentation, also known as ethanol fermentation, is the anaerobic pathway carried out by yeasts in which simple sugars are converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Yeasts typically function under aerobic conditions, or in the presence of oxygen, but are also capable of functioning under anaerobic conditions, or in the absence of oxygen. When no oxygen is readily available, alcohol fermentation occurs in the cytosol of yeast cells."

Knowing what type of physical activity is either aerobic or anaerobic can make all the difference to both your long-term health and how much time you should be spending on an elliptical machine or lifting weights. Always consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise regimen. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Aerobic Exercise Aerobic exercise is any activity that uses your arms and legs to move your body. Your muscles are used in continuous (and generally easy-to-perform) rhythmic or repetitive motions, increasing your heart rate and respiration while building your physical endurance. Aerobic means “with oxygen” -- aerobic exercise uses oxygen to burn fat and carbohydrates, producing energy. Aerobic Exercise Groups The American College of Sports Medicine splits aerobic exercise into three groups, defined by varying demands of physical activity. The first group is defined by easy physical activities such as walking, jogging, cycling and climbing stairs. The second group includes moderate to intense exercise such as dance classes, hiking, swimming and bench stepping. The third group covers intense and strenuous exercise involved in skilled sports such as basketball, tennis or volleyball."

How to Burn a Lot of Calories on an Upright Bike What Is More Effective Treadmill or Elliptical? Recommended Treadmill Workout to Burn a Lot of Calories Elliptical or Treadmill for Weight Loss Calories Burned Using a Stationary Bike The effectiveness of a weight-loss plan depends on efficient caloric expenditure. Though both treadmills and stationary bikes create aerobic workout opportunities to burn calories, treadmills engage more muscle groups of the body and result in higher exertion. However, stationary bikes may be a preferable option for people with certain medical conditions that make load-bearing exercises like jogging painful. When choosing between a treadmill or a stationary bike, consult with a doctor or trainer to assess your current fitness and future weight-loss goals. Caloric Expenditure The exact number of calories burned during a workout depends on your weight and the intensity of your exercise, as determined by the speed and level of resistance. For an average 150-pound person, a moderate-intensity workout on a treadmill burns approximately 8.8 calories per minute, while a moderate-intensity workout on a stationary bike burns about 6.8 calories per minute. Intensity is determined by your own individual heart rate, and moderate intensity is typically regarded as 50 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate, which is calculated by subtracting your age from 220. A 1996 study published in the \"\"Journal of the American Medical Association\"\" reported that treadmill workouts resulted in higher energy expenditure and heart rates than the stationary bike, which yielded the lowest energy expenditure of several test machines."

What do these terms actually mean and are they important for my exercise program? ANSWER: Strictly speaking, the terms \"\"aerobic\"\" and \"\" an aerobic\"\" refer to the presence and absence of oxygen, respectively. Most of our cells prefer to get their energy by using oxygen to fuel metabolism. During exercise with adequate fuel and oxygen (i.e., aerobic), muscle cells can contract repeatedly without fatigue. During anaerobic or non-oxygen conditions (i.e., higher intensity exercise), muscle cells must rely on other reactions that do not require oxygen to fuel muscle contraction. This anaerobic metabolism in the cells produces waste molecules that can impair muscle contractions. We call this deterioration in performance fatigue."

They’re different than stop-and-start anaerobic exercises such as weight training and sprinting short distances that leave you breathless because they require so much short-term energy that your body develops an oxygen deficit. Yoga isn’t either an aerobic or anaerobic exercise. It’s a physically and mentally relaxing activity that stretches muscles. Aerobic exercises improve physical fitness more than yoga, raise heart rates more and burn far more calories. Yoga Yoga is a combination of stretching, breathing, meditation, relaxation and visualization. The stretches are often known as poses because they’re done very slowly. “ The time relaxing in between the poses is as important as the stretches themselves,” says Dean Ornish in his book “Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease.”"

"text": "What Are the Differences Between Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration?by MICHELLE KERNS Aug. 17, 2013Aerobic and anaerobic respiration are types of cellular respiration, the process by which living cells use up the free electrons produced during normal cellular metabolism to produce ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, the chemical compound used by cells for energy. Aerobic and anaerobic respiration differ in their requirement of oxygen and the amount of energy they produce, as well as which organisms they are utilized most often in and why. Video of the Day Oxygen Aerobic respiration can only occur in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic respiration doesn't require or utilize oxygen in its energy production. In aerobic respiration, glucose molecules are passed through a chemical reaction chain that produces ATP, carbon dioxide and water and ends with oxygen accepting the free electrons that have been generated. In contrast, anaerobic respiration is cellular respiration that occurs using other molecules as the terminal electron acceptor since oxygen isn't present. Energy Production Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration use electron-transport chain-reaction pathways in energy production. However, aerobic respiration produces much more energy, or ATP molecules, than anaerobic respiration. For every molecule of glucose that is metabolized in the presence of oxygen by aerobic respiration, 38 ATP molecules are produced. By contrast, anaerobic respiration produces only two ATP molecules by dividing one glucose molecule into two pyruvic acid molecules in a process known as glycolysis. Respiration By-products The only chemical by-products produced by aerobic respiration -- carbon dioxide and water -- are simple for the human body to deal with."

The intent of regularly performing an aerobic exercise is to increase your heart rate to your target heart rate and maintain that level for a minimum of 20 consecutive minutes. By doing so, you will achieve what is defined as an \"\"aerobic effect\"\". Regularly forcing your body to increase its level of oxygen intake will improve the condition of your entire cardiovascular system. In addition, not only will you improve your overall cardiovascular endurance, but the efficiency of your entire cardiovascular system as well. The cardiovascular system is defined as your heart and the circulatory system. The cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting food, metabolic wastes, hormones, and gases to and from the individual cells within the body. Included within the circulatory system are the heart, lunges, blood vessels, and blood. Health Benefits As previously stated, when performing an aerobic exercise the intent is to increase your heart rate to your target heart rate and thereafter, maintain that level for a minimum of 20 consecutive minutes.

Its counterpart, ‘anaerobic’ means ‘without air’ or not needing oxygen. Â Evidently, these two terms are exact opposites. Their differences become more apparent as they are used in reference to cellular respiration, exercise and types of organisms. In plants and animals, aerobic respiration is the chief process by which they utilize energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate. The key player in the generation of ATP would be oxygen, which also acts as the terminal electron acceptor. Aerobic metabolism is about 19 times more efficient than anaerobic metabolism. Conversely, anaerobic respiration is undergone by some microorganisms. Instead of oxygen, an inorganic acceptor such as sulfur is used as the final electron acceptor.

While aerobic exercise is effective for burning fat, anaerobic modes of exercise can boost your metabolism and increase your total caloric burn, resulting in lower body fat. Deciding which mode is best for you depends on your preferences and time constraints. Fat Storage and Distribution Your fat storage and distribution is determined by multiple factors,including genetics, lifestyle and physical activity. According to the European Journal of Endocrinology, the primary storage site for excess calories lies in the subcutaneous area beneath your skin. Subcutaneous fat plays a dual role of providing insulation from the elements and serving as a fuel depository in times of famine and limited food supply. But when subcutaneous fat stores reach a threshold, excess fat can be shunted to your visceral intra-abdominal area, your muscles, and your liver, where it can interfere with metabolic processes and lead to health problems. Slow Burn Long-duration low- to moderate-intensity aerobic training is effective for burning fat because fat is an oxidative fuel, meaning it can only be metabolized aerobically, and cannot provide anaerobic energy. Aerobic energy is produced in the mitochondria of your muscles, where fat and glucose are oxidized. Endurance training is effective in promoting the growth of mitochondria and increasing the enzymes that help to oxidize fat."

"text": "The benefits of anaerobic exercise If you are looking for a great way to build muscle and lose weight, consider anaerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercise is short, fast, high-intensity exercise that doesn’t require the body to utilize oxygen as its energy source. “Anaerobic exercise uses energy that’s readily available in your muscles,” says Paige Jones, ACSM CES, lead exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center. “ Because the body isn’t relying on oxygen, these strong, powerful movements can only be sustained for 10 to 15 seconds. ”Good examples of anaerobic exercise include: High intensity interval training Heavy weight lifting Calisthenics like jump squats, box jumps, or other plyometrics“When working out, proper exercise intensity is a must for the activity to be considered anaerobic,” says Jones. The difference between anaerobic and aerobic exercise Anaerobic and aerobic exercise use different energy systems of the body. While anaerobic exercise uses energy from muscles, aerobic exercise uses the energy stored in your body from carbs, proteins, and fats in combination with the oxygen we breathe to make energy readily available to the muscles. Aerobic activities can be sustained for long periods of time depending on your exercise intensity. “There is a threshold where we can cross over from aerobic to anaerobic exercise and that is based on your intensity,” says Jones. “ It’s called the anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold."

Steady State Exercise Aerobic activities can be performed much longer than anaerobic activities, so they generally burn more calories after the first few minutes of exercise. Aerobic exercises are continuous exercises such as bicycling, cross-country skiing and running that rank at the top of calories-burned charts. Anaerobic exercises are start-and-stop exercises such as lifting weights, swinging a baseball bat and throwing a football that require huge bursts of calorie-burning energy and lots of rest between bursts. Beginning To Exercise“Aerobic” means with “with oxygen” or “with air,” while “anaerobic” means “without oxygen” or “without air.” Your body produces the energy it needs in two ways -- the aerobic system and the anaerobic system."

"text": "Treadmill Science: A Look at Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise Treadmill Science: A Look at Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise Respiration is usually understood to refer to the act of pulmonary respiration. Breathing in oxygen and breathing out the waste products of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2 O). Every cell in our body also undergoes a process known as respiration (cellular respiration). Cellular respiration begins with a process that splits the glucose within the cells making it readily available as a source of energy. This process can occur without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) or in the presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration). Anaerobic respiration generates more excess waste (lactate) than does aerobic exercise. Lactate allows the release of energy from cells without the presence of oxygen which originally came in handy when man relied on the fight or flight mechanism needed to escape his enemies or chase down dinner. The problem is it can only be sustained for about three minutes, after that, high levels of lactate build within the muscle cells. Excess lactate slows the cellular respiratory process and is experienced as a burning sensation in the muscles if exercise continues. Our scientific reviews have also found the Proform treadmill, the Sole treadmill and the Horizon treadmill brand (and for a little different workout try a Bowflex) to be the best overall."

This is mainly introduced by means of food or because of digestive problems. Aerophagia is a major cause of flatulence Symptoms of aerophagia The main symptoms are:- Bloating- Belching- Drowsiness, etc. Causes of aerophagia The main causes are:- Inadequate diet: Too heavy or too spice food. Bad alimentary habits (eating too fast, improperly swallowing or drinking), continuously chewing gums, drinking coffee, can lead to aerophagia.- Carbonated beverages: Beverages such as lemonade, beer, soda water, sparkling mineral water, sparkling wine, champagne, and other soft drinks.- Symptoms of physical diseases (mainly in the stomach, the liver or gallbladder)- Stress, nervousness or anxiety: When being in an uneasy situation, people tend to swallow too much air without being conscious.- Loose dentures: Wearing loose dentures increases the saliva production in the mouth, raising gastric juices too much, which is responsible for gastritis or aerophagia. Preventing aerophagia By changing the lifestyle and dietary habits, we can generally solve or ameliorate this problem. Within the most interesting tips to prevent aerophagia we can mention the following:- Reduce stress to prevent too much air swallowing: First of all it is necessary to avoid stressing situations and take things easier. Some self-breathing exercises can help swallow too much air. When you feel flatulent with constant belching, just try to relax, sit down comfortably for 15 minutes and try to control your air intake. By doing so, if you experience a burping reduction, this will proved you are suffering from abnormal air swallowing, probably due to psychosomatic reasons."

"text": "Lawrence S. Friedman, MDGastroenterology The air we breathe is made up mostly of nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), the gas the human body needs to sustain life. After being swallowed, air enters the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. As it moves along, its makeup changes as oxygen passes into the blood and nitrogen is removed from the blood. Another intestinal gas is carbon dioxide (CO2), a byproduct of a chemical reaction with acid in the stomach. Hydrogen (H2) is released in the colon when undigested carbohydrates undergo bacterial fermentation. Bacteria in the gut produce foul-smelling gases when they ferment undigested foods that have not been absorbed in the small intestine. These foods consist mostly of carbohydrates, sugars, and fats. The carbohydrates found in high-fiber foods, such as beans, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, are the worst culprits. These foods release gases such as methane and hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. The worst odor is related to strong-smelling sulfurs that make up just 1% of flatus (gas that escapes from the rectum)."

The following write-up provides information on the causes of foul-smelling flatulence and ways to prevent this embarrassing problem. Tagged Under: Bloating Flatulence Advertisement The term 'flatulence' describes the state of having excessive flatus (gas) in the stomach and the intestines. Flatus usually comprises hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. It may sometimes contain methane. Carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen, and methane are actually the by-products of the fermentation of undigested food in the large intestine by bacteria. Nitrogen may be a component of flatus in case of people who are affected by aerophagia, which is a condition that occurs due to excessive swallowing of air. Excessive gas could cause a variety of symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and burping (expulsion of gas from the stomach through the mouth). The small intestine absorbs small amounts of carbon dioxide and oxygen, and the remaining gas that travels to the large intestine is expelled through the anus. The expulsion of gas may not always be accompanied by an unpleasant odor."

"text": "How to Stop Swallowing Air There are many potential causes of excessive hiccups, regular belching and mild aerophagia (swallowing air) so it’s important to identify the primary culprit or culprits for you personally. Start by eliminating the simpler known causes for a few days and notice whether the symptoms lessen. It’s worth keeping a note of the following suggestions for how to stop swallowing air. By tracking the results you get from avoiding a potential cause for several days, and especially reintroducing it, you can pin down why you are swallowing air excessively and reduce or eliminate it. Importantly, if you have a serious case of aerophagia you should seek medical advice from a specialist. Many people though will see improvement with some of the simple changes ahead. Common Practices That Lead to Swallowing Too Much Air Drinking carbonated drinks, such as acidic soda or beer, sends carbon dioxide straight into our stomachs (and simple sugars which encourage more intestinal bacteria). Give them a rest for a few days and see what effect this has on your symptoms. Drinking with a straw, rushing and slurping or gulping down liquids and drinking from a water fountain are all likely to introduce extra air into the stomach. Try slowing down when you drink."

Patients with excessive belching frequently have supragastric belches. Excessive belching should be treated as a behavioral disorder. Persistent hiccups, however, can be the first presentation of a serious disorder that requires extensive diagnostic testing. When no cause is found, only the symptoms can be treated. Aerophagia is an episodic or chronic disorder in which patients (children and adults) swallow large quantities of air, which accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract to cause abdominal distention and bloating. These patients should not undergo explorative laparotomy because they do not have ileus. New treatment approaches are needed for patients with aerophagia.

Posted Jul 24, 2012 by Kristen P. in CPAP therapy has a language all its own, and you might hear us toss around terms or acronyms that mean absolutely nothing to you, a new CPAP user. Please excuse us in advance - some terms and concepts that are so natural to us might not help you at all understand your therapy or choose a CPAP set-up. Here we've tried to compile a list of some of the most common CPAP terms used and their meanings. Hopefully, this will get you started in your research about CPAP... sometimes it's just a matter of knowing the right word or acronym to find the information you need!CPAP - Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. The technology behind your treatment. Also used when talking about the machine used to deliver this pressure or the mask used to deliver the pressure to your airway (i.e. CPAP Mask or CPAP Machine). Bi PAP or Bi-Level - Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure. This technology is a more sophisticated form of PAP therapy that delivers two different pressures - one on inhalation (a higher pressure) and one on exhalation (a lower pressure). Bi PAP prescriptions will always have two pressures, inspiratory and expiratory pressures."

[ 1] By definition it causes an increased concentration of carbon dioxide ( hypercapnia) and respiratory acidosis. Hypoventilation is not synonymous with respiratory arrest, in which breathing ceases entirely and death occurs within minutes due to hypoxia and leads rapidly into complete anoxia, although both are medical emergencies.

"text": "Treat > CPAP Therapy > Troubleshooting Guide for CPAP Problems > Aerophagia Causes and Resolutions Aerophagia Causes and Resolutions Tracy R. Nasca CPAP users who experience excessive belching, stomach bloating, stomach distension and agonizing gas pains may be suffering from aerophagia. It’s the medical term for the phenomenon when air enters the esophagus, goes into the belly and causes bloating. Aerophagia can be caused by eating, drinking or even talking too fast. It can occur with hyperventilation from anxiety, from chewing gum, smoking cigarettes and even during strenuous exercising. For the CPAP patient, aerophagia and stomach bloating is much more prevalent than you might think. It’s not a subject many feel comfortable talking about, but this side effect of CPAP use is an important issue to discuss and with proper changes to therapy, it can be resolved. Aerophagia occurs when air from a CPAP enters the esophagus and goes into the belly, rather than the airway and into the lungs. This can cause gas pains and distension of the stomach. It is common and can happen to anyone who uses CPAP. But when it becomes chronic, it’s a red flag, a symptom that can be overcome when the cause is properly determined."

Generally, scorpions are tan in color but there are some species that are yellow, black or red. While the size and color varies from scorpion to scorpion, the body structure is the pretty much the same for all species. All scorpions have eight legs with two pinchers, or pedipalps, and a segmented body that leads to a tail which curves up over the body. The tail has a stinger on the end which is used to kill or paralyze its prey. The size of the pinchers often tells how poisonous the scorpion is. Large rounded pinchers often indicate a non-poisonous scorpion while small slender pinchers such as those found on the striped bark scorpion indicate a fairly poisonous and possible deadly scorpion. Types of Scorpions Scorpions are quite common in much of the southern and southwestern United States. While there are only 13 families of scorpions, there are more than 1,400 species of scorpions worldwide."

Learning Objectives Recognize factors that are classified as predisposing to infectious disease Key Takeaways Key Points Some predisposing factors of contracting infectious diseases can be anatomical, genetic, general and disease specific. Climate and weather, and other environmental factors that are affected by them, can also predispose people to infectious agents. Other factors such as overall health, age and diet are important considerations in the prevention of spreading infectious diseases. Key Termscystic fibrosis: Cystic fibrosis (also known as CF or mucoviscidosis) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects most critically the lungs, and also the pancreas, liver and intestine. It is characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across an epithelium, leading to thick, viscous secretions. Chronic granulomatous disease: Also known as CGD, is a diverse group of genetic diseases in which certain cells of the immune system have difficulty forming the reactive oxygen compounds (most importantly, the superoxide radical) used to kill certain ingested pathogens. This leads to the formation of granulomata (a special type of inflammation) in many organs. The spread and severity of infectious disease is influenced by many predisposing factors. Some of these are more general and apply to many infectious agents, while others are disease specific."

David Arv Bragi Home (April 24, 2015) (Photo: pz Axe / Shutterstock)Look around your house, including under the kitchen and bathroom sinks and in your garage. Do you see hair spray, rubbing alcohol, paint thinner or linseed oil? Chances are, if you're an average homeowner (or renter), you have a wide variety of flammable liquids under your roof. Flammable or combustible liquids cause more than 43,000 home fires each year, resulting in 200 deaths, 2,500 injuries and $469 million in property damage, according to estimates by the National Fire Protection Association. The chances that they'll set your house on fire are slim — if you take the right precautions. The Federal Hazardous Substances Act requires that all flammable or combustible household products carry a precautionary label alerting consumers about the danger of fire or explosion. “ But consumers have a role to play as well,” says John Drengenberg, consumer safety director at UL, which develops product safety standards. “ Make sure that you put on the cap and, if it spills, clean it up properly. ”Here are eight flammable liquids that may be lying around your home."

CHARACTERISTICS: G. lamblia is a flagellated enteric protozoan parasite 1. There are two stages in the lifecycle, a motile vegetative form (trophozoite) which reside in the small intestine and is responsible for disease manifestations and an infective resistant form (cyst) responsible for transmission. Cysts are oval-shaped thin-walled cyst that is 10 to 20 μm in length, 7-10 μm in width and 0.3-0.5 μm thickness 1, 2. Trophozoites resemble a pear or teardrop and measure 9-21 μm in length, 5-15 μm in width and 1-2 μm thickness 3. The trophozoite is an aerotolerant anaerobe that requires glucose as a source of carbohydrate energy and divides by longitudinal binary fission every 9 to 12 hours 1.

What is MDF? How is it different from plywood? Why wouldn’t you just use plywood? So today I want to share the differences between MDF and plywood, the pros and cons of each, and how I decide which one I’ll use on a project. MDF – Medium Density Fiberboard Image via Krono Span MDF is an engineered wood composite that is similar to particle board, but is much denser and stronger than particle board. Imagine if all of the sawdust was swept up from other wood product manufacturing processes, and then that sawdust was mixed with binders and pressed into large sheets the size of plywood. Okay, that’s way oversimplified, and it’s not exactly the process they use to make MDF , but that gives you an idea of the makeup of the product. Because it’s composed of such small wood fibers, there’s no wood grain in MDF."

But foraging ants may enter your home, looking for food and water. Once they find a way inside, some ants can even establish nests inside walls, cabinets, behind refrigerators, stoves, ovens and other appliances, behind windows and window frames, and beneath floors. The best way to prevent this is to exterminate the ants outside before they enter your home. Some ant species even present a health hazard to humans and animals. Stinging ants such as Fire Ants may present a medical problem to individuals who are allergic to their stings. To eradicate a stinging ant population, it is vital that you find the nests.

"text": "Related Articles How to Remove a Cabinet to Install a Microwave Over the Stove How to Change Cabinets So a Refrigerator Fits How to Install Fillers in Cabinets How to Cut a Microwave Opening in Cabinetry You can shorten any cabinet without removing it from the wall. Due to the integrated installation of the cabinets, certain moldings, trim, shelves or fillers can't be disturbed by removing the entire cabinet. If you surgically remove and shorten the bottom part of the cabinet without taking it down from the wall, your microwave will fit. Some microwaves come with a kit for hanging them above the counter and require cabinets to be cut down to make room. Others fit into pantry cabinets. Still other times, there's just not enough room for a microwave to fit under the counter without shortening it.1Draw a line horizontally across the measurement where you wish to cut the cabinet. Consult the owner's manual. If there's a specific code or distance required for the cabinet to breathe, use that to determine where to cut the cabinet. If the line crosses the doors, draw the line there too.2Set a table saw if the doors are solid-slab. Remove the doors with a screwdriver."

"text": "\"1 / 8When we think about teen substance abuse, our minds veer to dad's liquor cabinet or illegal drugs. But teens are increasingly turning to home offices and kitchen pantries to chase a high. One recent trend is called \"\"dusting\"\" — inhaling the fumes from computer cleaning supplies to get high. And You Tube videos and blogs are popularizing the use of everyday items you might use to make dessert, including nutmeg and vanilla extract, for mind-altering purposes. Read on to learn more about \"\"dusting\"\" and some of the other ways teens are using common household items to get high.2 / 8 'Dusting': Inhaling Computer-Cleaning Product Computer-cleaning products might seem innocent, but a growing number of teenagers are using them for the chemicals' mind-altering effects. Inhalant abuse has been around years — often referred to as \"\"huffing\"\" — but the term \"\"dusting\"\" is used to describe the use of cans of any aerosolized computer keyboard cleaner that has compressed gas inside. You can get a high from putting the straw from the can into your mouth and inhaling as they spray the contents. Breathable chemicals like aerosols, gases or solvents can produce a loss of sensation and even unconsciousness, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Irreversible side effects include hearing loss, limb spasms, bone or brain damage, heart failure, suffocation, and even death. In addition, the freon inside the spray cans pushes oxygen out of the lungs and can cause a mini stroke or heart attack."

"text": "\"Home How to Paint Kitchen Cabinets How to Paint Kitchen Cabinets Painting your kitchen cabinets is the quickest and least expensive way to give them a facelift. Painting is a wonderful choice for unfinished kitchen cabinets. Unfinished kitchen cabinets may be stained, painted or a number of other creative mediums. Old cabinets may also be used as a blank canvas for those wishing to do folk painting art. All cabinets, especially those in kitchens, baths, and children's playrooms need a hard surface that will stand up to wear and repeated cleanings. The hardest paint surface for home use, modified alkyd paint, comes in aerosol spray cans. Spray painting, even with aerosol cans, is an art. Sprayed improperly, paint will sag and run. If you use this method, protect surfaces you don't want painted by masking them off well beyond the painted areas. Alkyd or oil-base paints are tough, durable, high-gloss paints."

CHARACTERISTICS: Staphylococcus aureus are Gram-positive, catalase positive cocci belonging to the Staphylococcaceae family 1, 2. They are approximately 0.5-1.5 µm in diameter, nonmotile, non-spore-forming, facultative anaerobes (with the exception of S. aureus anaerobius) that usually form in clusters. Many strains produce staphylococcal enterotoxins, the superantigen toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1), and exfoliative toxins. Staphylococcus aureus are part of human flora, and are primarily found in the nose and skin 3. SECTION II - HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONPATHOGENICITY/TOXICITY: Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause a variety of self-limiting to life-threatening diseases in humans 2. The bacteria are a leading cause of food poisoning, resulting from the consumption of food contaminated with enterotoxins 4. Staphylococcal food intoxication involves rapid onset of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, cramps, and diarrhea 2, 4. Symptoms usually resolve after 24 hours 4. Animal bites can result in local infections, cellulitis, erythema, tenderness, mild fever, adenopathy, and lymphangitis (rarely) 5."

They are non-spore forming and can produce pigments, such as pyocyanine (green-blue) and pyorubrin (yellow-green) fluorescence 1, 4 - 7. P. aeruginosa can produce a large variety of extracellular toxins, including exotoxin A and enterotoxins 8. Other substances such as hydrocyanic acid, proteolytic enzymes, toxic surface slime, and haemolytic substances may also contribute to the pathogenicity of this species. Toxins combined with harmful substances are determinant factors in the high virulence of P. aeruginosa in a variety of different hosts 9. SECTION II - HAZARD IDENTIFICATIONPATHOGENICITY/TOXICITY: As opportunistic pathogens, Pseudomonas spp. often invades the host tissue and cause infection and bacteremia in immunocompromised hosts (e.g., HIV/AIDS, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, burns, malignancy, or diabetes mellitus) 10 , 11 . The common site of infection is the lower respiratory tract, and severity ranges from colonization without immunological response to severe necrotizing bronchopneumonia; such severe infection in patients with cystic fibrosis is almost impossible to eradicate once established in the airways 12 . Pseudomonal pneumonia often develops from oro-pharyngeal contamination or secondary bacteremia, and is also a common cause of nosocomial ventilator-related pneumonia in intensive care settings."

Read complete review End tables, kitchen tables, and other furniture needs to be kept clean and if the material is wood, the challenges are unique due to the more delicate nature of wood and the potential for disrepair. Many people clean their wooden tables with ordinary aerosol polish, but wood benefits from an occasional oil treatment and one product designed for this purpose is **Old English Lemon Oil**, a protective liquid cleaner for wood. ** Wood Cleaner/Protector Commentary:** Old English Lemon Oil is a moisturizing product with special oils that clean and condition wood to bring out its natural beauty. This product can be used on any wood surface, and that includes wooden tables, cabinets, wood paneling, and more. Old English Lemon Oil offers a pleasant, lemon scent with an oily texture that penetrates the surface, leaving a smooth shiny surface behind and protecting against stains such as fingerprints, crayons, and various foods. Much of the furniture in my home is composed of natural wood and most of the time, I keep them clean and protected with spray, aerosol cleaner. These cleaners are fine for day-to-day usage, but every now and then, I skip the aerosol and treat the wood with Old English Lemon Oil. It conditions wood, protects it from harm, and offers a nice, semi- shiny finish. The wood looks and feels better after using Old English Lemon Oil, with a moisturized appearance that looks visually appealing along with a clean, fresh scent."

The following list of communicable diseases to be notified nationally was endorsed by CDNA in September 2003 and by Health Ministers on 18 April 2008 as part of the National Health Security Agreement 2008. Laboratory definitions developed by the Public Health Laboratory Network are also available for some diseases. National Surveillance Case Definitions for the Australian National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System Foreword A working group of CDNA was convened in 2001 to revise and develop standard surveillance case definitions for all nationally notifiable diseases for reporting to the NNDSS. The surveillance case definitions were progressively developed through a consensus approach over a number of years. The Case Definitions Working Group currently comprises members representing all jurisdictions and the Australian Government Department of Health, the Public Health Laboratory Network, Oz Food Net, the Kirby Institute, the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance and other communicable disease experts. Laboratory case definitions previously developed by the Public Health Laboratory Network formed the basis for the surveillance case definitions, with clinical and epidemiological elements added, as appropriate.top of page Australian national notifiable diseases Click on the links for each disease for the case definition CDNA national surveillance case definition Disease name CDNA implementation date PHLN laboratory case definition Anthrax2004Anthrax Australian bat lyssavirus2004Australian bat lyssavirus infection Avian influenza in humans (AIH)1 July 2015Barmah Forest virus infection1 January 2016Alphavirus and flavivirus Botulism2004Botulism Brucellosis1 July 2016Brucellosis Campylobacteriosis2004Campylobacter Chikungunya12 May 2010Chlamydial infection1 July 2013Chlamydia Cholera2004Cholera Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD)16 December 2009Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease -

Goods are initially classified under the Harmonized System (HS) which describes and measures the characteristics of goods traded. Combining trade into approximately 140 export and 140 import end-use categories makes it possible to examine goods according to their principal uses. These categories are used as the basis for computing the seasonal and working-day adjusted data. These adjusted data are then summed to the six end-use aggregates for publication. These data are provided to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, from the U. S. Census Bureau, for use in the Balance of Payments and the National Income and Product Accounts. The seasonal adjustment procedure is based on a model that estimates the monthly movements as percentages above or below the general level of each end-use commodity series (unlike other methods that redistribute the actual series values over the calendar year). Imports of petroleum and petroleum products are adjusted for the length of the month. Because of the extremely variable movements of the data series for aircraft, users studying data trends may wish to analyze aircraft separately from other trade. Price Change Adjustments are done using the Fisher chain-weighted methodology."

Her light will be sorely missed.\"\" - @Pharrell (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times)Eric Zorn Esquire's Natasha Zirinksy spent a lot of time exploring the ubiquitiously annoying slang term \"\"bae. \"\"“ Bae,” Urban Dictionary says, is an acronym that stands for “before anyone else,” or a shortened version of baby or babe, another word for sweetie, and, mostly unrelated, poop in Danish. In addition, “bae” has appeared in rap songs and countless web memes since the mid-2000’s. So did Time's Katy Steinmetz Some argue that bae is simply a shortened version of babe, which would similarly account for the rare ae juxtapostion.

"text": "\"Performance Analysis of Data Encryption Algorithms Abdel-Karim Al Tamimi, [email protected] Abstract The two main characteristics that identify and differentiate one encryption algorithm from another are its ability to secure the protected data against attacks and its speed and efficiency in doing so. This paper provides a performance comparison between four of the most common encryption algorithms: DES, 3DES, Blowfish and AES (Rijndael). The comparison has been conducted by running several encryption settings to process different sizes of data blocks to evaluate the algorithm's encryption/decryption speed. Simulation has been conducted using C# language. Keywords : Encryption Algorithm, Performance,Analysis, AES, DES, Blowfish, Triple DES, Cryptography Table of Contents Introduction Cryptography : Overview Cryptography Goals Block Cipher and Stream Cipher Block Cipher Stream Cipher Mode of Operations Symmetric and Asymmetric Encryption Symmetric Encryption Asymmetric Encryption Compared Algorithms Related Work Results Simulation Setup Performance Evaluation Methodology System Parameters Experiment Factors Simulation Procedure Simulation Results Performance Results with ECBPerformance Results with CBCConclusion References Acronyms See Also : Security in Wireless Data Networks , Network Security Concepts: Review1. Introduction As the importance and the value of exchanged data over the Internet or other media types are increasing, the search for the best solution to offer the necessary protection against the data thieves' attacks along with providing these services under timely manner is one of the most active subjects in the security related communities. This paper tries to present a fair comparison between the most common and used algorithms in the data encryption field. Since our main concern here is the performance of these algorithms under different settings, the presented comparison takes into consideration the behavior and the performance of the algorithm when different data loads are used. Section 2 will give a quick overview of cryptography and its main usages in our daily life; in addition to that it will explain some of the most used terms in cryptography along with a brief description of each of the compared algorithm to allow the reader to understand the key differences between them. Section 3 will show the results achieved by other contributions and their conclusions."

"text": "Living Culture This is What 'Bae' Means By Katy Steinmetz Updated: November 11, 2014 10:49 AM ET | Originally published: July 23, 2014On Wednesday, Pharrell dropped a video for his new single, “Come Get It Bae,” which may immediately raise some questions, such as “Come get what?” and “What in the world does bae mean, anyway?”The short answer: Though this word was used in the 1500s to refer to sheep sounds, today b ae is used as a term of endearment, often referring to your boyfriend or girlfriend. Or perhaps a prospect who might one day hold such a lofty position. Bae has also taken on a wider meaning, being used to label something as generally good or cool, as in “This sandwich is bae. ”Say, for instance, you post a picture of you on a yacht with Beyonce and you just so happen to be Jay-Z. You might give that photo a caption like, “Just another Tuesday with my bae. # surfbort” or “When bae looks bae on this bae boat. # boofboof ”There is no doubt that more people are encountering this word and wondering what it means, as evinced by this handy chart from Google Trends: But there are some competing origin stories. One tale supposes that bae is in fact the acronym BAE, standing for “before anyone else.” But people often like to make up such origin stories that linguists later discover were absolute poppycock, like the idea that the f-word is an acronym dating back to royal days when everyone needed the king’s permission to get in the sack—so they would be having “fornication under consent of the King.” Great story."

Audio interfaces and video interfaces define physical parameters and interpretation of signals. For digital audio and digital video, this can be thought of as defining the physical layer, data link layer, and most or all of the application layer. For analog audio and analog video these functions are all represented in a single signal specification like NTSC or the direct speaker -driving signal of analog audio. Physical characteristics of the electrical or optical equipment includes the types and numbers of wires required, voltages, frequencies, optical intensity, and the physical design of the connectors. Any data link layer details define how application data is encapsulated (for example for synchronization or error-correction). Application layer details define the actual audio or video format being transmitted, often incorporating a codecs not specific to the interface, such as PCM, MPEG-2, or the DTS Coherent Acoustics codec."

"text": "\"Difference Between PGP and GPG• Categorized under Software | Difference Between PGP and GPGPGP vs GPG“PGP” and “GPG” stand for “Pretty Good Privacy” and “Gnu Privacy Guard.” These are two different computer programs developed to protect electronic communications. Today almost everyone uses emails for correspondence and communication, but this medium is not as secure as we think it is. The emails can easily be forged by someone using anybody’s name or identity, and the emails can easily be stored and read by people with special skills. To solve these existing problems and improving the security of emails as well as making them more private, these two programs were developed and used. The privacy of emails is maintained by these programs because they allow encryption of messages by people, and only the people who are authorized can read the encrypted messages; secondly, they are difficult to forge. For these programs to run properly, the computer used should be secure. If the computers are easily infected with viruses or attacked by spyware programs which can report the key to someone, then first the computer needs to be secure to implement the full strength of these programs. PGP“PGP” stands for “Pretty Good Privacy.” It was developed by Phil Zimmermann."

"text": "Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) computer security standard is a symmetric block cipher that encrypts and decrypts 128-bit blocks of data. Standard key lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits may be used. VOCAL’s AES implementation is available as a standalone algorithm as well as AES IP Core in FPGA, PLD, or ASIC form factors. Contact us to discuss your specific encryption application requirements. AES Algorithm The AES algorithm consists of four stages that make up a round which is iterated 10 times for a 128-bit length key, 12 times for a 192-bit key, and 14 times for a 256-bit key. Stage 1: “Sub Bytes” transformation is a non-linear byte substitution for each byte of the block. Stage 2: “Shift Rows” transformation cyclically shifts (permutes) the bytes within the block Stage 3: “Mix Columns” transformation groups 4-bytes together forming 4-term polynomials and multiplies the polynomials with a fixed polynomial mod (x^4+1). Stage 4: “Add Round Key” transformation adds the round key with the block of data. In most ciphers, the iterated transform (or round) usually has a Feistel Structure. Typically in this structure, some of the bits of the intermediate state are transposed unchanged to another position (permutation)."

This includes files and storage devices, as well as data transferred over wireless networks and the Internet. You can encrypt a file, folder, or an entire volume using a file encryption utility such as Gnu PG or Ax Crypt. Some file compression programs like Stuffit Deluxe and 7-Zip can also encrypt files. Even common programs like Adobe Acrobat and Intuit Turbo Tax allow you to save password-protected files, which are saved in an encrypted format. An encrypted file will appear scrambled to anyone who tries to view it. It must be decrypted in order to be recognized. Some encrypted files require a password to open, while others require a private key, which can be used to unlock files associated with the key. Encryption is also used to secure data sent over wireless networks and the Internet."

Setting up an IOS router to utilize IPsec starts with the configuration of the ISAKMP policy and the router's ISAKMP authentication key data. If the router will be peering with only one other router in a site-to-site topology, the ISAKMP configuration ends there. However, if the router will also be supporting client-to-site peering an additional IKE Mode Configuration is needed as well. Before we get to the ISAKMP policy configuration, here are a few safety tips: For starters, IOS uses ISAKMP and IKE interchangeably in configuration mode and EXEC mode."

An encryption algorithm along with a key is used in the encryption and decryption of data. There are several types of data encryptions which form the basis of network security. Encryption schemes are based on block or stream ciphers. The type and length of the keys utilized depend upon the encryption algorithm and the amount of security needed. In conventional symmetric encryption a single key is used. With this key, the sender can encrypt a message and a recipient can decrypt the message but the security of the key becomes problematic. In asymmetric encryption, the encryption key and the decryption key are different. One is a public key by which the sender can encrypt the message and the other is a private key by which a recipient can decrypt the message. Glossary: Asymmetric encryption algorithm."

( April 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In cryptography, a block cipher is a deterministic algorithm operating on fixed-length groups of bits, called a block, with an unvarying transformation that is specified by a symmetric key. Block ciphers operate as important elementary components in the design of many cryptographic protocols, and are widely used to implement encryption of bulk data. The modern design of block ciphers is based on the concept of an iterated product cipher. In his seminal 1949 publication, Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems, Claude Shannon analyzed product ciphers and suggested them as a means of effectively improving security by combining simple operations such as substitutions and permutations. [ 1] Iterated product ciphers carry out encryption in multiple rounds, each of which uses a different subkey derived from the original key. One widespread implementation of such ciphers, named a Feistel network after Horst Feistel, is notably implemented in the DES cipher. [ 2] Many other realizations of block ciphers, such as the AES, are classified as substitution–permutation networks. ["

"text": "\"Introduction AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is an encryption standard adopted by the U. S. government starting in 2001. It is widely used across the software ecosystem to protect network traffic, personal data, and corporate IT infrastructure. AES is a symmetric block cipher that encrypts/decrypts data through several rounds. The new 2010 Intel® Core™ processor family (code name Westmere) includes a set of new instructions, Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) New Instructions (AES-NI). The instructions were designed to implement some of the complex and performance intensive steps of the AES algorithm using hardware and thus accelerating the execution of the AES algorithms. AES-NI can be used to accelerate the performance of an implementation of AES by 3 to 10x over a completely software implementation. The AES algorithm works by encrypting a fixed block size of 128 bits of plain text in several rounds to produce the final encrypted cipher text. The number of rounds (10, 12, or 14) used depends on the key length (128b, 192b, or 256b). Each round performs a sequence of steps on the input state, which is then fed into the following round. Each round is encrypted using a subkey that is generated using a key schedule."

Definition In its original form encryption was first used by the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, then the Greeks and Romans in wartime and politics. They used it as a security practice to encode messages that can deceive the enemy. In its modern day application it is basically the method of turning plaintext information into unintelligible format (cipher), using different algorithms. This way, even if unauthorized parties manage to access the encrypted data, all they find is nothing but streams of unintelligent, alphanumerical characters. What is encryption used for? Encryption has widely been used to protect data in numerous areas, such as e-commerce, online banking, cloud storage, online communication and so forth. How does an encrypted message may look like?

"text": "Home › Data Encryption What is Data Encryption? Data encryption refers to mathematical calculations and algorithmic schemes that transform plaintext into cyphertext, a form that is non-readable to unauthorized parties. The recipient of an encrypted message uses a key which triggers the algorithm mechanism to decrypt the data, transforming it to the original plaintext version. Before the internet, data encryption was seldom used by the public as it was more of a military security tool. With the prevalence of online shopping, banking and other services, even basic home users are now aware of data encryption. Today's web browsers automatically encrypt text when making a connection to a secure server. This prevents intruders from listening in on private communications. Even if they are able to capture the message, encryption allows them to only view scrambled text or what many call unreadable gibberish. Upon arrival, the data is decrypted, allowing the intended recipient to view the message in its original form. Types of Data Encryption There are many different types of data encryption, but not all are reliable."

Since RTP is closely related to RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) which can be used to control the RTP session, SRTP also has a sister protocol, called Secure RTCP ( SRTCP ); SRTCP securely provides the same features to RTCP, as the ones provided by SRTP to RTP. Utilization of SRTP or SRTCP is optional in RTP or RTCP applications; but even if SRTP or SRTCP are used, all provided features (such as encryption and authentication) are optional and can be separately enabled or disabled.

Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts ( artworks ), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. [ 1] [2] In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art. The oldest documented forms of art are visual arts, which include creation of images or objects in fields including today painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts; however, like the decorative arts, or advertising, [3] it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential—in a way that they usually are not in a painting, for example. Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts.

"text": "Dance, the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and within a given space, for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself. Peasant Dance, oil on wood by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, c. 1568; in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. Kunsthistoriches, Vienna, Austria/Super Stock Dance is a powerful impulse, but the art of dance is that impulse channeled by skillful performers into something that becomes intensely expressive and that may delight spectators who feel no wish to dance themselves. These two concepts of the art of dance—dance as a powerful impulse and dance as a skillfully choreographed art practiced largely by a professional few—are the two most important connecting ideas running through any consideration of the subject. In dance, the connection between the two concepts is stronger than in some other arts, and neither can exist without the other. Although the above broad definition covers all forms of the art, philosophers and critics throughout history have suggested different definitions of dance that have amounted to little more than descriptions of the kind of dance with which each writer was most familiar. Thus, Aristotle’s statement in the Poetics that dance is rhythmic movement whose purpose is “to represent men’s characters as well as what they do and suffer” refers to the central role that dance played in classical Greek theatre, where the chorus through its movements reenacted the themes of the drama during lyric interludes. The English ballet master John Weaver, writing in 1721, argued on the other hand that “Dancing is an elegant, and regular movement, harmoniously composed of beautiful Attitudes, and contrasted graceful Posture of the Body, and parts thereof.” Weaver’s description reflects very clearly the kind of dignified and courtly movement that characterized the ballet of his time, with its highly formalized aesthetics and lack of forceful emotion. The 19th-century French dance historian Gaston Vuillier also emphasized the qualities of grace, harmony, and beauty, distinguishing “true” dance from the crude and spontaneous movements of early man: Moscow Grand Ballet performing Swan Lake in 2004."

"text": "Definition Essay on Beauty Beauty is a concept that has long been theorized about by a wide variety of philosophers. From the Ancient Greeks to the post-modernist Nietzche, humans throughout history have had differing perceptions of beauty. In this essay, we will examine the nature of beauty and try to formulate a working definition for it. Among the first persons to examine the idea of beauty in writing, the Ancient Greeks had a very interesting conception of what it consisted of. Their term for beauty can perhaps best be described as connoting youthfulness. Although this correlation of beauty with youthfulness may seem wise, we can easily “poke holes” in this over-simplistic theory. In truth, a person can have an appearance that is not in the least bit aesthetically pleasing, with that same person also possessing a great deal of youthfulness. Due to this fact, we cannot say that beauty exclusively refers to youthfulness, although we must admit that youthfulness is often a component of beauty. Other Ancient Greeks, particularly the Pythagoreans, conceived of beauty as connoting balanced ratios and proportions. Specifically, the Pythagoreans asserted that items or persons who exhibit the “golden ratio” seem to be more “beautiful.”"

"text": "\"Introduction | Aesthetic Judgements | What is Art? | Aesthetic Universals | History of Aesthetics Introduction Back to Top Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and appreciation of art, beauty and good taste. It has also been defined as \"\" critical reflection on art, culture and nature\"\". The word \"\"aesthetics\"\" derives from the Greek \"\"aisthetikos\"\", meaning \"\"of sense perception\"\". Along with Ethics, aesthetics is part of axiology (the study of values and value judgements ). In practise we distinguish between aesthetic judgements (the appreciation of any object, not necessarily an art object) and artistic judgements (the appreciation or criticism of a work of art). Thus aesthetics is broader in scope than the philosophy of art. It is also broader than the philosophy of beauty, in that it applies to any of the responses we might expect works of art or entertainment to elicit, whether positive or negative. Aestheticians ask questions like \"\"What is a work of art? \"\", \"\" What makes a work of art successful? \"\", \"\""

Contents [ hide ]1 Biography2 Views on music3 Vom Musikalisch-Schönen4 Works (German editions)5 See also6 Notes7 References8 External links Biography [ edit]Hanslick was born in Prague (then in the Austrian Empire ), the son of Joseph Adolph Hanslik, a bibliographer and music teacher from a German-speaking family, and one of his piano pupils, the daughter of a Jewish merchant from Vienna. At the age of eighteen Hanslick went to study music with Václav Tomášek, one of Prague's renowned musicians. He also studied law at Prague University and obtained a degree in that field, but his amateur study of music eventually led to writing music reviews for small town newspapers, then the Wiener Musik-Zeitung and eventually the Neue Freie Presse, where he was music critic until retirement. Whilst still a student, in 1845, he met with Richard Wagner in Marienbad; the composer, noting the young man's enthusiasm, invited him to Dresden to hear his opera Tannhäuser; here Hanslick also met with Robert Schumann. [ 1]In 1854 he published his influential book On the Beautiful in Music. By this time his interest in Wagner had begun to cool; he had written a disparaging review of the first Vienna production of Lohengrin. From this point on, Hanslick found his sympathies moving away from the so-called 'music of the Future' associated with Wagner and Franz Liszt, and more towards music he conceived as directly descending from the traditions of Mozart, Beethoven and Schumann [2] — in particular the music of Johannes Brahms (who dedicated to him his set of waltzes opus 39 for piano duet ). In 1869, in a revised edition of his essay Jewishness in Music, Wagner attacked Hanslick as 'of gracefully concealed Jewish origin', and asserted that his supposedly Jewish style of criticism was anti-German. [ 3] It is sometimes claimed that Wagner caricatured Hanslick in his opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg as the carping critic Beckmesser (whose name was originally to be Veit Hanslich)."

"text": "\"Home »Hobbies Art Vs. Craft Debate By H. Maria Perry; Updated September 15, 2017The art versus craft debate is the attempt to resolve the definition of “art” and the definition of “craft.\"\" The debate hinges on an ever-evolving understanding of the perception of what is considered art. The central question is how to determine whether craft is art. A craft may be defined as a skill at making useful items, whereas art is a symbolic expression of ideas, emotions and experiences. Definition of Craft According to Rosey Greenlees, executive director of Crafts Council in the United Kingdom, \"\"Contemporary craft is about making things.\"\" Craft objects tend to be utilitarian. The primary purpose of a craft is function. A craft object, such as a hand-woven blanket, a basket or clay pottery, is designed to serve a distinct purpose. Craft is the transformation of raw materials into a finished product."

By definition, a subjective experience is a product of the individual's mind. While real and often profound, the subjective experience cannot be objectively measured by others. When someone is listening to music, the music's note, pitch, speed, volume and the listener's ear vibration and heartbeat can be measured by scientific instruments, but the listener's aesthetic experience cannot. This experience is experienced by the listener alone. Even if asked to, the listener could not fully translate the experience to others, in part because it is beyond words. It's doubtful that two people have the same subjective perceptions. People may have similar, but not identical perceptions."

Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, culture, social psychology, philosophy and sociology. An \"\"ideal beauty\"\" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection. Ugliness is considered to be the opposite of beauty. The experience of \"\"beauty\"\" often involves an interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional well-being. Because this can be a subjective experience, it is often said that \"\"beauty is in the eye of the beholder. \"\" There is evidence that perceptions of beauty are evolutionary determined, that things, aspects of people and landscapes considered beautiful are typically found in situations likely to give enhanced survival of the perceiving human's genes.==Ancient Greek== The classical Greek noun that best translates to the English-language words \"\"beauty\"\" or \"\"beautiful\"\" was κάλλος, kallos, and the adjective was καλός, kalos. However, kalos may and is also translated as ″good″ or ″of fine quality″ and thus has a broader meaning than mere physical or material beauty. Similarly, kallos was used differently from the English word beauty in that it first and foremost applied to humans and bears an erotic connotation. The Koine Greek word for beautiful was ὡραῖος, hōraios, an adjective etymologically coming from the word ὥρα, hōra, meaning \"\"hour\"\"."

"text": "Unmasking Beauty (Extended Definition Essay: Final)“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” This quotation was firstly heard in Greek in the 3 rd century. This means that beauty could be interpreted in different ways by various people. So what is beauty then? According to Oxford Dictionary, “Beauty is a combination of qualities, such as shape, colour, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight.” On the other hand, Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as, “the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.” Based from these stated definitions, which is a more appropriate meaning of beauty? Where and how do these perspectives come from? From these descriptions about beauty, we can say that beauty has various meanings to people and these perspectives are mainly influenced by media. Initially, the way a person looks plays an important role in our society."

Therefore it is essential to explain one's terms, a process that will continue throughout the text as we meet new parts of the subject. As a first installment it is appropriate to say something about the terms for our entire subject: aesthetics, theory of beauty, philosophy of art. All these terms have a somewhat relaxed character. Thinkers use them variously and sometimes interchangeably, and everyone knows that this is so. No momentous consequences result from this looseness of usage, but it is good to know what the author you are reading means by them. I take aesthetics to include theory of beauty as a proper part. Besides beauty, there are other aesthetic values: sublimity, expressiveness, humor, picturesqueness, prettiness, cuteness, comfiness, neatness, and so forth. I don't have a complete list, and I don't know of anyone who does. Furthermore it is an open question, in my mind, just how many values can be construed as forms of beauty."

Whether art can be defined has also been a matter of controversy. The philosophical usefulness of a definition of art has also been debated. Contemporary definitions are of two main sorts. One distinctively modern, conventionalist, sort of definition focuses on art’s institutional features, emphasizing the way art changes over time, modern works that appear to break radically with all traditional art, and the relational properties of artworks that depend on works’ relations to art history, art genres, etc. The less conventionalist sort of contemporary definition makes use of a broader, more traditional concept of aesthetic properties that includes more than art-relational ones, and focuses on art’s pan-cultural and trans-historical characteristics.1.

It may also be understood more broadly as essentially synonymous with the philosophy of music, thus including issues of musical ontology, epistemology, ethics, and sociology. A specific area of focus within musical aesthetics is the aesthetics of classical music; it addresses questions relating to the aesthetic properties and aesthetic value of music in the Western classical tradition. What aesthetic content does classical music have to offer? Does it consist simply in pleasing patterns, which have no meaning outside of the musical structures themselves? Can it express emotion, feeling, or other kinds of inner states? Does classical music offer insights into life not available through other art forms? Can it possess identifiable meanings, or significant conceptual, historical, or symbolic content? If so, how could this be achieved, given that its materials appear to be non-signifying in nature? These are some of the principal questions that concern the aesthetics of classical music."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 3:36 Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini surprised many Techonomists at our conference in Tucson last month with his frank talk about alternative therapies and the need for the current health system to be “creatively destroyed.” Who would have thought the top man at one of the nation’s largest health insurance companies would be an advocate for craniosacral therapy and meditative chanting? Bertolini’s onstage interview with David Kirkpatrick focused mostly on his innovative approaches to apps and technology at the company. But in a later on-camera conversation, Bertolini described how his progressive personal health practices jibe with his company’s mission. Aetna policy presently excludes yoga, meditation, and craniosacral therapy from coverage “because there is inadequate evidence in the peer-reviewed published medical literature of their effectiveness.” But Bertolini says that, after discovering that Aetna employees whose stress levels rank highest spend $2,500 more per year for healthcare, the company recruited 200 of them to participate in a 12-week mindfulness meditation and yoga study. The results, published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, show that the traditional Eastern medicine practices reduce stress—as measured by heart rate variability and levels of the stress hormone cortisol—and, consequently, medical costs. Since then, 6,000 Aetna employees and clients have completed the free program, he says. “ We know this stuff works,” Bertolini says. “"

"text": "Columns > What surgeons should know about... > Billing for services performed by nonphysician practitioners Billing for services performed by nonphysician practitioners By Linda Barney, MD, FACS, Betsy Nicoletti, CPC and Mark Savarise, MD, MBA, FACS PUBLISHED May 1, 2014 • Print-Friendly When surgeons find their workload is getting overwhelming, they sometimes consider adding another surgeon or a nonphysician practitioner (NPP), such as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) or physician assistant (PA), to their practices. The volume of surgical demand and the need for additional surgeons for on-call responsibilities are typically met by adding an additional surgeon to the group. Some surgical practices, however, determine that the volume of procedures they perform does not warrant adding another surgeon, and an APRN or PA could fulfill the necessary functions. Tasks that might be assigned to these individuals include preoperative evaluations, preoperative patient education, triage assessment, postoperative visits, and returning phone calls. Once the group has decided to hire an NPP, the question is how to get paid for these services. Some of the services just mentioned are included in the global surgical package, meaning all fees are covered under one reimbursement package. In this case, when performing an economic analysis of how helpful it would be to hire an NPP, the group should consider whether freeing up surgeons to complete other reimbursable work will offset the cost of adding an NPP. Practices want to know that they can generate revenue from hiring a mid-level provider, which leads them to ask: What are the billing rules for APRNs and PAs? Typically, NPPs provide incident-to or shared services. Others may serve as assistants during operations."

Once accepted as part of the network, a physician then is an in-network provider and people with the Aetna plan will preferentially use their services.

With millions of members in its medical plan, Aetna's continues to have a strong presence in most states. Use the following steps as a guide to becoming a participant in an Aetna Network. Step 1: Obtain a National Provider Identifier (NPI)Peter Dazeley/Getty Images Prior to applying for participation in Aetna's network, providers including physicians, other clinical professionals, medical office practices and certain suppliers must obtain an NPI. The National Provider Identifier or NPI is a 10 digit unique identification number used to take the place of provider identifiers such as a Unique Provider Identification number (UPIN) in HIPAA standard transactions. Health care providers are required by regulation of HIPAA to obtain an NPI. If you do not already have an NPI, apply for one at nppes.cms.hhs.gov or call the NPI Enumerator at 1-800-465-3203."

In the meantime, my last medical bill has now been sent to collections in the all the while Aetna reassuring me that they had reopened it.

Dental fees rose by 20% during that time, even while wages flatlined and dental insurers grew stingy with coverage. And while the rollout of the Affordable Care Act has made it theoretically easier to shop for dental insurance, it doesn't mean that a plan you find on a state marketplace is any better than what's for sale elsewhere. Which may lead you to wonder whether dental insurance is even worth the trouble. Can it actually save you money on dental care? Or does it make more financial sense to join one of the dental discount plans that have become so popular in recent years? ( A dental discount plan is like a membership program - you pay an annual fee to join and you get access to discounted services at participating dentists). To help answer these questions, we compared five dental insurance and dental discount plans to see how much they'd save us in a handful of year-long hypothetical scenarios. The quick takeaway on dental insurance vs dental discount plans It's difficult to make a universal recommendation because of how greatly costs can differ depending on where you live, and because each state's insurance exchange will offer different adult dental plans (or even none at all, in which case you can shop in the open market)."

Aetna Disclaimers Aetna Medicare covers both brand name and generic prescription drugs. Generic drugs have the same active-ingredient formula as a brand name drug. Generic drugs usually cost less than brand name drugs and are rated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be as safe and effective as brand name drugs. In general, beneficiaries must use network pharmacies to access their prescription drug benefit, except in non-routine circumstances. Pharmacy clinical programs such as prior authorization, step therapy, and quantity limits may apply to your prescription drug coverage. This is not a complete list of all formulary alternatives covered by the Part D sponsor for the drug you have selected."

More specifically, UN will identify eligibility for AGB based on the insurance participation and duty station for active staff, and on the insurance participation and mailing address for retired staff. Those determinations will be made using the information that is presently recorded in the relevant personnel system: IMIS for UN, Atlas for UNDP, SAP for UNICEF. This is an enrollment process that does not require any action on the part of the staff members or retired staff members involved. Dependents enrolled under the Aetna health insurance of the eligible staff member or retired staff member will also be included automatically. Staff members and retired staff members who do not meet the eligibility criteria for AGB are not eligible for the new services. Members who are not eligible for AGB services retain their present Aetna services. Note that for participants in the Headquarters Aetna health insurance programme, eligibility for AGB depends on the duty station of the staff member or the mailing address of the retired staff member. The residence of family members covered as dependents has no bearing on eligibility for AGB. All AGB programme correspondence (I. D. cards, explanations of benefits, reimbursement checks, and any other materials) will continue to be sent to the mailing address on record for you in the personnel system."

The volume of surgical demand and the need for additional surgeons for on-call responsibilities are typically met by adding an additional surgeon to the group. Some surgical practices, however, determine that the volume of procedures they perform does not warrant adding another surgeon, and an APRN or PA could fulfill the necessary functions. Tasks that might be assigned to these individuals include preoperative evaluations, preoperative patient education, triage assessment, postoperative visits, and returning phone calls. Once the group has decided to hire an NPP, the question is how to get paid for these services. Some of the services just mentioned are included in the global surgical package, meaning all fees are covered under one reimbursement package. In this case, when performing an economic analysis of how helpful it would be to hire an NPP, the group should consider whether freeing up surgeons to complete other reimbursable work will offset the cost of adding an NPP. Practices want to know that they can generate revenue from hiring a mid-level provider, which leads them to ask: What are the billing rules for APRNs and PAs? Typically, NPPs provide incident-to or shared services. Others may serve as assistants during operations."

"text": "Aetna Medicare Advantage Plans Are you enrolled in Original Medicare but are not sure if the benefits provided by the federal government will cover all of your healthcare-related needs? Would you feel more comfortable with insurance from a private carrier that helps further subsidize the cost of your coverage or expands the network of eligible doctors or healthcare providers you can visit? If this sounds like you, it may be in your best interests to obtain a Medicare Advantage Plan offered by Aetna to provide you with adequate coverage. What exactly is a Medicare Advantage Plan? Medicare Advantage Plans A Medicare Advantage Plan, or Part C of Medicare coverage (since it extends beyond the insurance coverage provided under Part A or Part B), is a health insurance plan offered by a private insurer that covers all of the regular benefits provided under Part A and Part B yet usually has specific additions as well. The private insurance companies that offer Medicare Advantage Plans contract directly with Medicare and the federal government to provide policyholders with benefits found under both Part A and Part B of Original Medicare plans. If you choose to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan, all Medicare services are covered under this plan and not through Original Medicare. Here, you may only obtain healthcare treatment that is covered under your Medicare Advantage Plan, although by law this is required to provide an equal or greater amount of coverage as Part A and Part B together. The Different Medicare Advantage Plans Furthermore, there are a variety of different types of Medicare Advantage Plans to help meet your individual needs. For example, you can select from Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plans, Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plans, Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) Plans, and Special Needs Plans (SNPs)."

Effective January 1, 2016, the Metro Plus Gold plan offered to City employees through the City of New York Health Benefits Program is a “non-grandfathered health plan” under the Affordable Care Act. The City of New York believes that all of the other health plans currently, as of July 2017, offered as health benefits coverage to City employees through the City of New York Health Benefits Program are “grandfathered health plans” under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act). As permitted by the Affordable Care Act, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that your health plan coverage may not include certain consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act that apply to other plans, for example, the requirement for the provision of preventive health services without any cost sharing. However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits. Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed, in writing only, to: City of New York Health Benefits Program 40 Rector Street, 3rd Floor New York, NY 10006 Attention: Grandfathered Plan Status Health Plans for Employees and non-Medicare Retirees Click on a Health Plan name in order to see a summary of that Plan (PDF)."

"text": "Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Cash Assistance» View national participant and spending data Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance provides monthly cash benefits to very low-income families based on eligibility standards set by the states. Unlike its predecessor, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), TANF is not an entitlement program, meaning eligible families are not guaranteed benefits. One of the main goals of TANF is to transition recipients to employment, so that cash benefits are no longer necessary. Recipient families must fulfill ongoing work requirements, and there is a time limit on benefits. The federal government sets basic rules for administering TANF cash assistance, but states have responsibility for developing their programs. Income eligibility limits and benefit levels vary widely. More than one-third of the states have an income limit of less than 50 percent of the federal poverty level, while in other states, families with earnings above 100 percent of the federal poverty level may qualify for benefits. Similarly, maximum benefit levels vary from less than $200 to nearly $1,000 per month for a single-parent family of three. Ongoing requirements for TANF recipients also differ by state. Under federal rules, a portion of a state’s caseload must meet federal work criteria, or the state will lose some of its federal funding."

Contact us with questions about your situation The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program serves as an income source of last resort for elderly or disabled individuals, including blind or disabled children. In determining the benefit amount for a child, the program excludes one-third of child support payments from countable income. Legislation reauthorizing the 1996 welfare reform law contains provisions that would encourage states to allow children receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to keep more of the child support paid by an absent parent. These potential changes provide impetus to revisit the way the SSI program treats child support. This brief was prepared by Susan Wilschke and Richard Balkus of the Social Security Administration's Office of Disability and Income Assistance Policy. Questions about the analysis should be directed to them at 202-358-6275. The findings and conclusions presented in this brief are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Social Security Administration. This policy brief analyzes several options for increasing the SSI exclusion for child support."

"text": "Cash Assistance Current As Of Overview Background HISTORYPrior to the Great Depression in the late 1920’s and 1930’s there was no systematic federal program for providing help to those experiencing joblessness and poverty. State programs were fragmented and various church organizations and private charities offered limited assistance. But during the Great Depression states and private charities were unable to keep up the support for those facing severe economic difficulty. By the spring of 1933, 20 percent of the nation’s school children showed evidence of poor nutrition, housing and medical care; unemployment exceeded 25% and about 10,000 banks had failed. As the impact of the Great Depression spread across the United States, President Franklin Roosevelt in his 1935 State of the Union address declared it was time for the national government to provide “security against the major hazards and vicissitudes of life.” On August 18, 1935, FDR signed into law the Social Security Act, a federal retirement program for persons over 65, which also provided for unemployment insurance benefits and a federal aid program for poor children and other dependent persons, known as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). For the next 61 years AFDC guaranteed federal cash assistance to needy families and children as a social safety net. Under “welfare reform” President Clinton and Congress in August 1996 passed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PRWORA), which ended 61 years of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), guaranteed federal cash assistance that was part of the original Social Security Act. PRWORA established the federal block grant welfare program known as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), which grants each state a fixed amount of money each year to administer a program to serve low-income families with minor children. The authority to design a welfare program was turned over to the states, which are given wide discretion in determining eligibility and the conditions under which families may receive assistance."

The answers we found may not be what you think. Read on for the breakdown on the % of Americans on welfare, including by race, by welfare abuse, and by how much welfare pays. In today's economic climate, millions of Americans find themselves struggling to make ends meet. Despite improvements in the job market and a housing bounce back, there are still many people who need help to stay afloat financially. In many ways, the America of today mirrors that of the Depression-era, when the first national welfare system was introduced. Welfare programs were originally designed to help stabilize the economy and get struggling families back on their feet, a goal that's often overshadowed by the stereotypes and misconceptions people tend to have about the system in general."

Your phrase, “enhanced child-only grants,” suggests that these states ' payments to relative caregivers supplement the child-only grants they provide under the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Family (TANF) block grant. Oregon does not use TANF funds for its caregiver subsidy (but we describe it nonetheless). We have included information on California and Wisconsin, which also use TANF funds to pay relative caregivers. But we were unable to obtain any information on Michigan. SUMMARYCaregiver Relative Payment Alternatives Relatives who care for their kin typically receive funds from a state in two ways. They become licensed foster care providers and receive payments through the state ' s child protective services (CPS) agency (the Department of Children and Families in Connecticut). The federal government reimburses the state for these payments through its Title IV-E program. In these cases a court must have placed the children in the state ' s custody after it determined they were abused or neglected. Relatives who do not wish to become licensed foster caregivers or who care for a child who has not gone through the CPS system can receive a TANF child-only grant from the state ' s welfare agency."

[ 1]This program grew from a minor part of the social security system to a significant system of welfare administered by the states with federal funding. However, it was criticized for offering incentives for women to have children, and for providing disincentives for women to join the workforce.

Welfare Government benefits distributed to impoverished persons to enable them to maintain a minimumstandard of well-being. Providing welfare benefits has been controversial throughout U. S. history. Since the colonial period,government welfare policy has reflected the belief that the indigent are responsible for their poverty,leading to the principle that governmental benefits are a privilege and not a right. Until the Great Depression of the 1930s, state and local governments bore some responsibility for providingassistance to the poor. Generally, such assistance was minimal at best, with church and volunteeragencies providing the bulk of any aid. The New Deal policies of President franklin d. roosevelt included new federal initiatives to helpthose in poverty. With millions of people unemployed during the 1930s economic depression,welfare assistance was beyond the financial resources of the states. Therefore, the federalgovernment provided funds either directly to recipients or to the states for maintaining a minimumstandard of living. Following the 1930s, federal programs were established that provided additional welfare benefits,including medical care ( Medicaid ), public housing, food stamps, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)."

In most developed countries, welfare is mainly provided by the government from tax revenue, and to a lesser extent by NGOs, charities, informal social groups, religious groups, and inter-governmental organizations. Social security expands on this concept, especially in welfare states, by providing all inhabitants with various social services such as universal healthcare, unemployment insurance, student financial aid (in addition to free post-secondary education ), and others.

O'Neil, Research Assistant You asked how much states spend on their foster care and adoption assistance programs. SUMMARYFoster care and adoption programs are funded by a wide array of federal, state, local, and private sources. States vary significantly both in the amounts and proportion of government funds they use to pay for their programs. For example, while the average mix is 51% federal, 37% state, and 12% local, Indiana ' s program used only 30% federal funds; North Carolina, by contrast used about 78%. This report describes the major funding streams and restrictions on how they can be used. Table 1 describes federal funding guidelines in general, while Table 2 provides a 50-state snapshot using data collected for state fiscal year 2002. DEDICATED FEDERAL CHILD WELFARE FUNDSTitles IV-E and IV-B of the Social Security Act authorize the largest federal programs dedicated for child welfare. Title IV-E, the largest funding stream, consists of the Foster Care and Adoption Assistance programs, which are open-ended entitlements, the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program, which is a capped entitlement; and a non-entitlement funding authorization for education and training vouchers to youth who have aged out of foster care. Title IV-B authorizes discretionary and capped entitlement funding to the states and consists of two sub-parts – Child Welfare Services and Promoting Safe and Stable Families. There are also several small discretionary grants targeted for child welfare, which are briefly discussed below."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search SNAP logo The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ( SNAP ), [1] formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, provides food-purchasing assistance for low- and no-income people living in the United States. It is a federal aid program, administered by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, under the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), though benefits are distributed by each U. S. state 's Division of Social Services or Children and Family Services. SNAP benefits cost $70.9 billion in fiscal year 2016 and supplied roughly 44.2 million Americans (14% of the population) [2] with an average of $125.51 for each person per month in food assistance. Beneficiaries and costs increased sharply with the Great Recession, peaked in 2013 and have declined through 2016 as the economy recovered. [ 3] It is the largest nutrition program of the fifteen administered by FNS and is a component of the federal social safety net for low-income Americans. [ 4]The amount of SNAP benefits received by a household depends on the household's size, income, and expenses. For most of its history, the program used paper-denominated \"\"stamps\"\" or coupons – worth US$ 1 (brown), $5 (blue), and $10 (green) – bound into booklets of various denominations, to be torn out individually and used in single-use exchange. Because of their 1:1 value ratio with actual currency, the coupons were printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Their rectangular shape resembled a U. S. dollar bill (although about one-half the size), including intaglio printing on high-quality paper with watermarks. In the late 1990s, the Food Stamp Program was revamped, with some states phasing out actual stamps in favor of a specialized debit card system known as Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT), provided by private contractors."

Congress created the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant through the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, as part of a federal effort to “end welfare as we know it.” TANF replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), which had provided cash welfare to poor families with children since 1935. Congress created the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant . . . as part of a federal effort to ‘end welfare as we know it. ’Under TANF, the federal government provides a block grant to the states, which use these funds to operate their own programs. In order to receive federal funds, states must also spend some of their own dollars on programs for needy families (they face severe fiscal penalties if they fail to do so). This state-spending requirement, known as the “maintenance of effort” (MOE) requirement, replaced the state match that AFDC had required. States can use federal TANF and state MOE dollars to meet any of the four goals set out in the 1996 law: “ (1) provide assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives; (2) end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage; (3) prevent and reduce the incidence of out of wedlock pregnancies and establish annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies; and (4) encourage the formation and maintenance of two parent families. ”How TANF Dollars Are Spent States have used their TANF funds for a variety of services and supports, including: income assistance (including wage supplements for working-poor families), child care, education and job training, transportation, aid to children at risk of abuse and neglect, and a variety of other services to help low-income families."

Surveys have found that persons with disabilities receiving these benefits were less likely to be working. Sanctioning rates of these families exceed those for families without disabilities, and continuing poverty is more common among cases that close. There is overlap between this welfare program and Supplemental Security Income; more than one out of every six of these families included a recipient of Supplemental Security Income in 2002. Mark Nadel is a Visiting Professor at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute; Steve Wamhoff is a Senior Policy Associate at the Coalition on Human Needs; and Michael Wiseman is a Visiting Scholar in the Office of Disability and Income Assistance Policy ( ODIAP ), Office of Policy, Social Security Administration."

"text": "\"TRANSFER PAYMENTSTransfer payments are a form of income to individuals for which no current good or service is expected in return. They differ from other payments to individuals for whom either a service (including labor services) is performed in return for such payments or a good is exchanged. Transfer payments can originate from either business or government sources. Business transfer payments include corporate gifts to nonprofit institutions, payments for personal injury, and taxes paid by domestic corporations to foreign governments. Far more important, in dollar terms and policy significance, are transfer payments originating from government sources. Government transfer payments can be made by any level of government (federal, state, or local) and can take the form of either cash or in-kind benefits. Cash benefits include Social Security; government employee, military, and railroad retirement pensions; unemployment insurance; veterans' benefits; workers' compensation; cash public assistance (including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families [TANF] and Supplemental Security Income [SSI]); and educational assistance. Also included are government payments to nonprofit institutions that do not involve work under research-and-development contracts. Major in-kind government transfer payments include food stamps, medical insurance (Medicaid and Medicare), and housing assistance. Size and Significance of Transfer Payments The size of the U. S. government, measured as public expenditures, increased more than threefold from 1940 to 2000, and much of this increase was due to the growth in transfer payment expenditures, especially on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid."

"text": "\"Financial and Medical Assistance Financial Assistance Foster Care payment rates are established by the State of California and County Board of Supervisors and vary with the type and location of the child’s placement, the age of the child, any specialized care which may be authorized for the child, and/or any special needs the child may have. Foster children can receive foster care cash assistance through the Aid to Families with Dependent Children-Foster Care (AFDC-FC) program. The AFDC-FC program is administered under two sub-programs: State AFDC-FC, and Federal AFDC-FC. Foster care payments are not income to the foster parent. Payments are intended to help cover the costs of the child’s food, on-going clothing and personal needs, transportation, entertainment, shelter needs and supervision/parenting needs. Foster Care payments are received on the 12th of the month, following the month of care. For example: payment for the month of September will be received on October 12th. Medical Assistance Foster Care payments include Medi-Cal benefits. Riverside County dependents who reside in Riverside or San Bernardino counties and receive Foster Care benefits get their Medi-Cal benefits through Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) as part of IEHPs “Open Access Network”. This is an enhanced program through IEHP in which foster children have immediate access to IEHP doctors, direct referral to a specialist, After-Hours Nurse Advice Line and much more."

"text": "Government & Politics Social Services Q: When Did Welfare Start? A: Quick Answer Welfare, like many social programs, began during the Great Depression. While the programs of the New Deal helped increase employment, single mothers and widows with children to care for still needed protection. Aid to Dependent Children was established in 1935 to provide financial assistance to those women and children. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are Some Different Federal Entitlement Programs? What Is Welfare in New York City? How Do Welfare Benefits Vary by State? Full Answer In 1962, Aid to Dependent Children became Aid to Families with Dependent Children, in part, to combat the perception that the program discouraged marriage. AFDC was reformed in 1996 under Bill Clinton, who was president at the time, and became Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. TANF instituted a five-year lifetime limit on services, among other reforms."

"text": "\"The Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program (AFDC)OFFICE OF FAMILY ASSISTANCE Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) provides transitional financial assistance to needy families. Federal and state governments share in its cost. The federal government provides broad guidelines and program requirements, and states are responsible for program formulation, benefit determinations, and administration. Eligibility for benefits is based on the state's standard of need as well as the income and resources available to the recipient. Eligibility Requirements In order to be eligible for AFDC, a family must have a dependent child who is: • Under age 18 (A state may elect to extend the age limit to include 18-year-olds who are expected to complete secondary school or the equivalent level of vocational or technical training before turning 19. ); • Deprived of parental support or care because of a parent's death, continued absence, incapacity, or the unemployment of the principal family earner in a two-parent family under the AFDC-Unemployed Parent (UP) program; • Living in the home of a parent or other specified, close relative; • A resident of the state; and • A U. S. citizen or an alien permanently and lawfully residing in the U. S. Along with the dependent child, an application for AFDC includes any eligible natural or adoptive parent and any eligible blood-related or adoptive sibling with whom the child is living. Income and Financial Need Considerations Each state sets its own need standard for determining eligibility. The term \"\"need standard\"\" refers to what a state determines that a particular size family needs to live. A state takes into consideration the needs as well as the income and resources of all individuals in the assistance unit. The state \"\"disregards\"\" some family income, thus permitting it to be retained along with AFDC payments."

Adequate amounts of vitamin E can help protect against heart disease, cancer, and age-related eye damage (macular degeneration). Conversely, too much vitamin E from supplements can lead to excessive bleeding. Vitamin E foods, like the ones listed below, are considered to be safe and healthy. Foods high in vitamin E include sunflower seeds, almonds, spinach, avocados, squash, kiwifruit, trout, shrimp, olive oil, wheat germ oil, and broccoli.

Those who are overweight will have more water compared to those who are lean. While one can survive fifty days or more without food, the body can only be depleted of water for a few days before survival is at risk. Maintaining optimum fluid balance, and not having an electrolyte imbalance, is important in achieving general good health. This is especially critical in Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome (AFS), where fluid dysregulation and electrolyte imbalance are common occurrences, especially in the advanced stages. Fluid or electrolyte imbalance presents in a continuum. Conventional medicine, unfortunately, is versed mostly when fluid or electrolyte imbalance reaches extreme opposites, with severe dehydration on one extreme and a massive fluid overload at the opposite pole. Fluid overload clinically results in pulmonary edema, peripheral edema, and congestive heart failure. They are quickly resolved with administration of medications called diuretics that increase urine output to reduce body fluid load. Deficiency in fluid, or clinical dehydration, is clinically treated with fluid replacement."

Petroleum products are the entirety of the country's energy imports/exports, and totalled 235 ktoe/10,264 ktoe in 2007 respectively.</p>Main sources of Energy:<p> Total Installed Electricity Capacity (2010): 336 MW<br /> Hydro: 55%<br /> Thermal: 45%<br /> <br /> Total primary energy supply (2009): 1,794 ktoe<br /> Biofuels & waste: 61.8%<br /> Oil and Petroleum Products: 25.6%<br /> Gas: 8.4%<br /> Hydro: 4.2%<br /> <br /> Hydroelectricity dams in the country’s interior provide 166MW of electricity and serve 55% of the total demand. The main dams at Tchimbele and Kinguele over the M’bei River provide 69MW and 56MW respectively, and Poubara on the Ogooue River produces 36MW of power. Current supply is also bolstered by gas fired thermal plants, which account for 140 MW and a heavy fuel power station that produces 30 MW.</p>Country: Gabon Extent of the network:<p> Grid electricity access:</p> <ul> <li> Urban: 40%</li> <li> Rural: 18%</li> </ul>Capacity concerns:<p> Electricity supply is structurally in deficit owing to under-exploitation of the country’s hydroelectric potential and lack of infrastructure. The high electricity cost and the return of selective power cuts in 2010 and 2011, resulting from increasingly poor supply, highlights the urgent need to improve the power production and distribution infrastructure.</p>Potential for Renewable Energy:<p> <b>Solar energy</b><br /> The Gabonese World Energy Council Member Committee reports that Gabon’s average daily insolation is roughly 4 k Wh/m2, and that there are approximately 300 days of sunshine per year. Since it is impractical and expensive to connect scattered communities in this heavily forested country to the electricity grid, a solar energy programme is now supplying power to around one hundred villages, all of which have been provided with Siemens solar panels. Under this €18 million scheme, solar power has been installed in schools, shops and homes.<br /> <br /> <b>Wind energy</b><br /> Average wind speeds approaching 6 m/s have been observed in some areas of the country. However, little progress has been made in exploiting the technology.<br /> <br /> <b>Biomass energy</b><br /> Gabon is a heavily-forested country, and biomass still constitutes the majority of the Total primary energy supply of the country. The government of Gabon is part of the International Centre for Carbon Sequestration and Biomass Energy, a platform which provides information on the reserach and development, financial, economic and best practices involved in biomass energy production."

But why do we have DST and where did it come from? It turns out that Daylight Saving Time has a rich history spanning hundreds of years and two World Wars. So let’s take a brief journey through time to understanding the origin and purpose of this time travel trickery. The History Behind Daylight Saving Time Daylight Saving Time is simply a change by one hour in the time of each time zone. Time zones were first used by the railroads in 1883 to standardize their schedules. Before time zones, time was set locally based on various astronomical conditions. In 1918, the U. S. Congress made the U. S. rail zones official under federal law and gave the responsibility to make any changes to the Interstate Commerce Commission."

However at some times a unit may be available but unable to operate at full power. For this reason, the equivalent availability factor (EAF) is used instead. It is defined as EAF = Maximum possible annual generation (MWh/yr) / (Peak capacity (MW ) x 8766 hrs/yr) **** Il calcolo del fattore di utilizzo annuo è il rapporto fra l'energia erogata effettiva e l'energia erogata se la macchina lavorasse continuamente (8766 ore all'anno) in condizioni normali di potenza massima.

"text": "Industry Insights Don’t Miss Repair, Maintenance & Property Deductions – Part IFebruary 2016Taxpayers who own real property used in their business or rent real property to tenants, whether residential or commercial, often incur costs that can be immediately written off or capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of the capitalized asset. With the 2013 issuance of final tangible property regulations (repair regs) and other IRS guidance, determining what to immediately write off and what to capitalize for tax purposes can be challenging. Additional IRS guidance issued in previous years supplements the repair regs in several ways: Allowing a reduced recovery period for “qualified leasehold improvement” property Providing a specific recovery period for land improvements Allowing certain tenant improvements to be disposed of upon the termination/expiration of the tenant lease Allowing to immediately deduct certain expenditures made to remodel or refresh a building used to operate a retail or restaurant establishment Allowing lease costs being amortized to be written off if the associated lease is terminated or expired Providing special depreciation methods such as bonus depreciation and Section 179 expensing for certain assets purchased This article offers information for taxpayers who incur costs to maintain and improve their real property, purchase tangible property to be used in their business or dispose of certain capital assets previously used in their business. “ Tangible property” refers to a building and nonbuilding property, e.g., equipment and furniture. The repair regs must be carefully applied before deciding on the tax treatment of certain expenditures. The tax law is complex, so assistance from a CPA can help the taxpayer understand the tax treatment of certain costs. The regulations provide tax opportunities to write off costs previously required to be capitalized, require certain costs to be capitalized and depreciated over the useful life of an asset and clarify the definition of a unit of property (UOP). Here are the questions to ask yourself when applying the repair regs and additional IRS guidance to a business that owns or rents real property.1. What are my property’s UOPs? A building is divided into the building structure and eight separate building systems: Heating, ventilation and air conditioning Plumbing Electrical Escalators Elevators Fire and alarm systems Security systems Gas distribution The building structure and each building system are treated as separate UOPs when applying the repair regs to determine if expenditures are deductible or should be capitalized.2."

"text": "Freeing off a stuck,seized engine. Page by the owners of Baconsdozen Imperial Tools. Stumbling across a long lost 'barn find' classic car,motorcycle or other machinery is many an enthusiasts dream but long stored cars can have their own problems. Car engines stored in dry conditions and prepared for laying up with oil in the bores and being turned over every so often can survive well for many years. At the other extreme,if stood for some time outside or in damp conditions,engines can quickly seize up with corroded pistons and / or rusted bores. Simply trying to force an engine that has stood for some time to move again can damage them,sometimes beyond economic repair,but many can be restored to running condition. Don't make the mistake of using incorrect tools or making do with adjustable spanners etc on corroded fittings. For older vehicles you will almost certainly need SAE (AF) or BSW/BSF (Whitworth) tools. The 'proper' way is to transport a new project to a workshop and remove,strip down and rebuild the engine. It is worth spending a bit of time to see if the engine can be got running especially if it seems that the vehicle was running without major issues before being laid up."

"text": "\"Hilma af Klint The Ten Biggest, No 2 1907 Oil and tempera on paper 328 x 240 cm Wassily Kandinsky is generally regarded as the pioneer of abstract art. However, a Swedish woman called Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) might claim that title When Wassily Kandinsky wrote to his New York gallerist Jerome Neumann in December 1935, he was clearly anxious to reassure him once again that he had painted his first abstract picture in 1911: ‘Indeed, it’s the world’s first ever abstract picture, because back then not one single painter was painting in an abstract style. A “historic painting”, in other words.’ Sadly, this historic painting was thought lost. The artist neglected to take it with him when he left Russia in 1921 for Germany, before later moving to France. He knew the art world was engaged in a contest. To be acknowledged as having produced the first abstract painting had become a highly coveted prize. Which modern artist could claim that prize was still being fought over. The other leading candidates were František Kupka, Robert Delaunay, Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich. What Kandinsky did not know is that a Swedish painter by the name of Hilma af Klint had created her first abstract painting in her Stockholm studio in 1906, five years before him."

"text": "\"Desalination Energy Brine Disposal Environmental Issues The Yuma Plant Conclusion Table of Facilities As we mentioned in our Colorado River problem statement, California uses more than a quarter of the Colorado River's total volume. In fact, more than 4 million acre-feet of the dwindling water source goes to California each year. ( Interim Surplus Guidelines, 2001). Imagine if California supplied its own water and left a majority of those 4 million acre-feet where they belong in the river. Desalination may very well be California's answer to the drought in North America. This process boomed in California in the 1990s, when reverse osmosis technology freed desalination from the use of thermal energy. Originally, condensed steam was used to evaporate freshwater from seawater in processes known as multi-stage flash (MSF) and multi-effect distillation (MED), but their energy efficiency lagged in comparison to that of reverse osmosis. Currently, 85% of California's desalination facilities are reverse osmosis plants, (Cooley, Gleick, & Wolff, 27, 2008) which use fine membranes and pressure to separate salts from water. Desalination provides California with 50,000 AF annually, or ten percent of California's water needs, (Johns, Karajeh, 2, 2004) but is ideal for only certain communities. In 1992, construction of the Santa Barbara Desalination Plant was completed after a five-year drought in California."

"text": "AFE Management in Oil and Gas – Effective management of AFEs in a dispersed environmentby Phil Taphouse · April 11, 2011One of the consistent issues faced by operators in the Oil and Gas industry is how to manage AFEs. The AFE (Authorisation for Expenditure) is the mechanism used particularly in a joint venture environment to ensure good cost and budgetary control. What can go wrong? Well lots actually, but lets look at one aspect: there are many touch points where costs are incurred. This can be on an oil rig, on a site or in the head office and include such costs as technical experts’ time spent on a project or physical ordering of goods and services. People incurring these costs are dispersed geographically. I asked what can go wrong, well let’s start with the fact that frequently this process is managed using spreadsheet templates. This raises a number of problems:1) there is no easy way to ensure that time or cost is being put against an up to date AFE list2) authorisers will most likely be in a different location to where the cost is incurred and won’t have a full picture of the budget position to effectively make a decision; and3) Old, closed AFEs can still be in circulation on the ground, and so there may not be the budget for that AFE. Consequence? The cost is put against AFEs where there is no budget."

For some, skin irritation is an ongoing problem. It can be caused by allergies or by skin conditions that are difficult to manage. Dermatitis, which is a general term for skin rashes and inflammation, is usually diagnosed when a patient’s symptoms are serious enough to see a doctor. The symptoms of dermatitis include red, swollen, and itchy skin. It is rarely contagious and is not fatal, but it can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. There are several types of dermatitis, including contact dermatitis, which is caused by contact with irritants of allergens, neurodermatitis, which is a chronic localized itch, seborrheic dermatitis, which occurs on the scalp, stasis dermatitis, which is a buildup of fluid under the legs, and atopic determatitis, which is eczema. Eczema There are many forms of eczema. It affects people of all ages, but 85% of those who develop the condition have at least one episode by the time they are five.

If we follow this advice, experts say, our heart, pancreas, and colon will become healthier. Sadly, very few experts discuss diets that support and promote bladder health. At the same time, with baby boomers continuing to age, bladder problems such as urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage are becoming very common. Consider these statistics: One in four women over age 26 experiences stress incontinence (urinary leakage when laughing, sneezing, or putting stress on the bladder) at some point in her life. About 17 percent of women in the United States suffer from urge incontinence or overactive bladder (urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage). Some women have both stress and urge incontinence (mixed urinary incontinence), and these often have the most severe urinary symptoms. The good news?

Therefore skin conditions can occur anywhere in the body. Some problems are more likely to affect certain areas more than others, like acne which more often occurs on the face, back and chest. While most of us are accustomed to seeing rashes on most parts of the body, a skin rash behind the ear is often considered to be unusual. But it can occur and there are certain skin conditions more likely to afflict the skin behind the ears. The most common skin conditions to occur behind the ears are discussed below. However, just about any skin disease can affect the area. It is therefore important to consult with a dermatologist who can examine the area and make a proper diagnosis. The pictures are simply a guideline to possible skin problems behind the ears and may differ from one individual to another.

It’s estimated to affect up to 1 in 5 people but the exact number is difficult to gauge as many sufferers are too embarrassed to report the symptoms. IBS can strike at any age but commonly first develops at young adulthood. It affects both men and women with the latter being slightly more prone. The cause is not clear but is thought to be related to over activity in certain parts of the gut.

It is a common condition, affecting approximately 1 in every 25 boys and 1 in 30 uncircumcised males at some time in their life. Boys under the age of 4 years and uncircumcised men are at the highest risk, but it can happen at any age. It is more likely if there is phimosis, a condition where the foreskin of the penis is too tight. When boys reach the age of 5 years, the foreskin becomes easy to retract, and the risk of balanitis falls. Women can also have balanitis, as the term is used to describe an inflammation of the clitoris. However, this article will focus on the glans of the penis. Treatments Treatment for balanitis depends on the cause."

"text": "Home | Dogs | Health | Allergies | Symptoms and Signs Symptoms and Signs of Allergies in Dogs Source: Pet Wave, Updated on October 06, 2015Definition Causes & Prevention Diagnosis and Tests Symptoms and Signs Treatment & Prognosis Effects of Allergies on Dogs – From the Dog’s Point of View Dogs, like people, commonly develop allergies. Canine allergies usually cause dermatological (skin) problems, ear irritation and/or gastrointestinal upset. Allergies can be extremely detrimental to a dog’s health and to its quality of life. Continual scratching, licking and biting at irritated areas of skin often leads to physical sores, which can become infected. When the ears are affected, the constant head shaking and scratching can cause hematomas to develop, especially on the tips of the ear flaps. Hematomas are basically blood-filled blisters. If allergic reactions are particularly severe and prolonged, the dog may develop significant behavioral changes as well, as a result of its continual and inescapable discomfort. Symptoms of Canine Allergies – What the Owner Sees The visible signs of allergies mimic those of many other conditions. Dogs with allergies usually develop skin problems, ear problems or digestive/gastrointestinal upset. Owners of affected animals may notice one or more of the following symptoms: Skin Irritation Itchiness; scratching; biting at skin Redness, rash; common in the groin and flank areas, on the paws, between the toes, behind the front legs (in the armpit/axial area), under the neck and on the chin Sneezing Bumps and white raised pustules; pimples Lethargy; weakness; general malaise Restlessness Red, weeping eyes In an effort to relieve skin irritation, affected dogs may exhibit: Frequent and relentless scratching at affected areas Licking or chewing at affected areas Rolling on the floor or ground Moist sores called hot spots; prone to becoming infected Ear Irritation Dogs with allergies frequently develop infections or other irritation on their external ears and in their ear canals."

Read on to discover what could be affecting yours; some of them may surprise you!The environment – outside and in Changes in the weather don’t just affect your wardrobe; they affect your skin too, especially when it’s colder. In winter, the cooler air combined with central heating (and moving between the two) can cause skin to become dehydrated and potentially more sensitive. This is why your lips tend to become sorer in winter. It’s not only the cold -the effects of the sun’s rays can damage your skin Barrier, causing skin sensitivity as well. Dirt and pollution Dirt and pollution – things like exhaust fumes, smoke and dust – these can leave your skin feeling irritated and dirty and are pretty hard to avoid. Throughout the course of the day pollution in the air sticks to your skin and is absorbed by the skin’s natural Barrier. Over time, it can irritate and weaken the skin’s natural Barrier, which means it can no longer do its job properly and leaves your skin feeling more sensitive.

"text": "5 Facts Many People Don’t Know About Depression By Margarita Tartakovsky, M. S. Associate Editor ~ 3 min read Depression is one of the most common conditions in the world. It affects all segments of society and virtually all cultures, said Constance Hammen, Ph. D, a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at the University of California. And yet many people don’t know much about depression or tend to misunderstand it. Some misconceptions “persist because depression has tended to be stigmatizing and people don’t learn about it, discuss it, or recognize it. ”But it’s key to become well informed. Depression may affect you or your family. It may affect your friends or colleagues. Even if it doesn’t touch you personally in any way, learning about the reality of depression helps you be compassionate to the people who are struggling, because depression is a debilitating illness (which is, thankfully, very treatable).

See related patient information handout on acne, written by the author of this article. Acne is a common problem in adolescents and young adults. The disorder is caused by abnormal desquamation of follicular epithelium that results in obstruction of the pilosebaceous canal. This obstruction leads to the formation of comedones, which can become inflamed because of overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes. Topical retinoids such as tretinoin or adapalene are effective in many patients with comedonal acne. Patients with inflammatory lesions benefit from treatment with benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid or topical antibiotics. Frequently, the use of comedonal and antibacterial agents is required. Acne and its associated problems with self-esteem and social inhibition represent a figurative “rite of passage” for as many as 80 percent of adolescents and young adults."

Answer: Affective lability : unstable, rapidly changing emotions. Quick changes of emotions or unstable mood is rather common for everyone. So this symptom can have very different forms and severity. Mild forms are not at all a sign of a major psychiatric disorders. But we refer to people with a quickly changing emotional response who have rapid and extreme mood changes within a very short period, and without appropriate external reasons. Usually this lasts only for some minutes or hours (in contrast to longer periods of depression or mania in bipolar disorders)."

Read the following write up on muscle disease symptoms to know more. Tagged Under: Muscle Pain Advertisement Any disease or disorder that afflicts the muscles themselves or the nerves that run along or in close proximity of the muscles come within the scope of Neuromuscular Diseases. On the other hand, any disease or disorder that affects the functioning capabilities of muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons come under the purview of Musculoskeletal Disorders. In other words, the name depends upon what other physical system (s), apart from the muscles themselves, are affected such that the said affliction has significant bearings on the functionality of muscles. All these conditions are collectively known as muscle diseases or muscle disorders. Going by these definitions, there are a number of diseases and disorders that can be included under the aegis of muscular diseases. Such examples would include fibromyalgia, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, paralysis, multiple sclerosis, myalgia, myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophies, soft tissue sarcoma, polymyalgia rheumatica, muscular cramps, spasticity, polymyositis, cancer of connective tissues ( rhabdomyosarcoma ), etc. These diseases can be in the form of inflammatory disorders, degenerative disorders, metabolic disorders and autoimmune muscular disorders.

In coagulative necrosis the architecture of dead tissue is preserved for at least a couple of days. [ 1] It is believed that the injury denatures structural proteins as well as lysosomal enzymes thus blocking the proteolysis of the damaged cells. The lack of lysosomal enzymes allows it to maintain a \"\"coagulated\"\" morphology for some time. Like most types of necrosis if enough viable cells are present around the affected area regeneration will usually occur. Coagulative necrosis can also be induced by high local temperature; it is a desired effect of treatments such as high intensity focused ultrasound applied to cancerous cells.

The lack of oxygen (hypoxia) causes cell death in a localised area which is perfused by blood vessels failing to deliver primarily oxygen, but also other important nutrients. It is important to note that while ischemia in most tissues of the body will cause coagulative necrosis, in the central nervous system ischemia causes liquefactive necrosis, as there is very little structural framework in neural tissue.

The essential feature of the histrionic personality disorder is a pervasive and excessive pattern of emotionality and attention-seeking behavior. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others. The literature differentiates HPD according to gender. Women with HPD are described as self-centered, self-indulgent, and intensely dependent on others. They are emotionally labile and cling to others in the context of immature relationships. Females with HPD over identify with others; they project their own unrealistic, fantasied intentions onto people with whom they are involved. They are emotionally shallow and have difficulty understanding others or themselves in any depth. Selection of marital or sexual partners is often highly inappropriate."

"text": "\"Mood Stabilizers and Mood Swings: In Search of a Definition October 01, 1999 | Mood Disorders, Addiction, Attention Deficit Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Bipolar II Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Mania By Simon Sobo, MDMood-stabilizing drugs slipped into the vocabulary of psychiatrists during the last 15 years without a proper discussion of their definition. Consequently, these medications have been used in ways that have no empirical justification. The original idea behind the term mood stabilizer was the apparent ability of lithium to offer antimanic qualities as well as some measure of antidepressant action. The American Psychiatric Association's Practice Guideline for Treatment of Patients With Bipolar Disorder (1994) defines mood stabilizers as \"\"medications with both antimanic and antidepressive actions.\"\" From time to time, research has been contradictory about the efficacy of lithium as an antidepressant (Keck and Mc Elroy, 1996). However, the concept was clear. This is not the case with the various anticonvulsant medications that have been labeled mood stabilizers. Despite widespread use, it is not obvious what is meant by a mood stabilizer and how anticonvulsants fit that description. There is little if any clear-cut evidence that valproate (Depakote, Depakene), carbamazepine (Tegretol) (Kalin, 1996-1997) or gabapentin (Neurontin) are effective antidepressant agents. Yet as soon as they were shown to have efficacy in acute mania, they were quickly labeled mood stabilizers rather than antimanic agents."

[ 10,11] But, for reasons that are still unknown, [1] 5-10 percent of those who experience a concussion have symptoms that persist beyond the generally accepted time frame for recovery [10] (one month under one classification, [2] beyond 3 months in another, [3] at which point they are typically diagnosed as having post-concussion syndrome (PCS). Whether PCS is experienced following a concussion seems to be dependent on a combination of factors, including premorbid vulnerabilty (eg. pre-existing medical conditions), postinjury psychological adjustment, and post-injury changes in brain function, and physiology (such as disruption of the blood brain barrier). [ 9,10]Studies suggest that children who are not given adequate time to rest, sleep and heal after an injury are much more likely to develop PCS, and to suffer from it for longer periods of time. [ 4] In fact, studies of high school students have shown that athletes who were allowed to rest after injury recovered twice as quickly as those who were not. [ 5]PCS can result in signficant physical, emotional, and cognitive stress, and be \"\"significantly disabling, often resulting in an inabilty to attend school, complete academic work, participate in sporting and extracurricular activities and interact socially with peers.\"\" [ 6] After 3 weeks, patients (especially athletes) begin to worry about when they will recover, and by 6 weeks, if symptoms persist, PCS can alter their lives. [ 10]Hard to diagnose/predict As a recent study [10] notes, \"\"there is considerable controversy regarding PCS because of the nonspecificity of symptoms and the fact that most cognitive deficits resolve within 1 to 3 months after mild TBI in the majority of patients.\"\" The challenge for doctors is to determine whether prolonged symptoms are the result of the concussion or from other causes, such as pre-existing clinical depression or migraine headaches."

Food fortification, i.e., the addition of nutrients to specific foods based on the dietary habits and nutritional status of the target population, is one of the most popular nutritional interventions for improving the population’s nutritional status. For food-fortification programmes to be successful, their technical aspects need to be carefully assessed. These include the nutritional justification for food fortification, the acceptability of the fortified food product to consumers (both cost and taste), and any technical or analytical limitation to compliance with food regulations and labeling requirements. Important technical aspects of developing effective food-fortification programmes are the choice of food carrier, nutrient interactions, bioavailability of nutrients, stability of nutrients added under anticipated conditions of storage and processing (food preparation at the household level), and safety."

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. ALS is a chronic disorder that causes a loss of control of voluntary muscles. The nerves controlling speech, swallowing, and limb movements are often affected. Unfortunately, a cure has not yet been found for it. The famous baseball player Lou Gehrig was diagnosed with the disease in 1939. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Causes What Are the Causes of ALS? ALS can be classified as either sporadic or familial. Most cases are sporadic."

Am J Psychiatry 151:11, November 1994 pp.1571-1580Objective : Lyme disease is a multisystemic illness that can affect the central nervous system (CNS), causing neurologic and psychiatric symptoms. The goal of this article is to familiarize psychiatrists with this spirochetal illness. Method : Relevant books, articles, and abstracts from academic conferences were perused, and additional articles were located through computerized searches and reference sections from published articles. Results : Up to 40% of patients with Lyme disease develop neurologic involvement of either the peripheral or central nervous system. Dissemination to the CNS can occur within the first few weeks after skin infection. Like syphilis, Lyme disease may have a latency period of months to years before symptoms of late infection emerge. Early signs include meningitis, encephalitis, cranial neuritis, and radiculoneuropathies. Later, encephalomyelitis and encephalopathy may occur. A broad range of psychiatric reactions have been associated with Lyme disease, including paranoia, dementia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, major depression, anorexia nervosa, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Depressive states among patients with late Lyme disease are fairly common, ranging across studies from 26% to 66%."

"text": "Organic Carbon Pools – Queensland Key points Soil organic carbon is made up of a number of different pools that vary in their chemical composition and stage of decomposition. Management can influence the proportion of different carbon pools present in a soil. Background Soil organic matter is made up of four major pools – plant residues, particulate organic carbon, humus carbon and recalcitrant organic carbon. These pools vary in their chemical composition, stage of decomposition and role in soil functioning and health (figure 1). Management is capable of altering not only total organic carbon stocks, but the proportion of carbon present in these different pools. Knowledge of how carbon pools change in response to management can provide valuable information on likely soil functioning and health. Figure 1: Organic carbon is made up of four different pools that decompose at different rates (adapted from Bell and Lawrence, 2009). Carbon pools and soil function Each of the different carbon pools decomposes, or turns over, at a different rate and is involved in different soil processes (figure 1). Plant residues – these are shoot and root residues found on the soil surface and in the soil. They are broken down relatively quickly (weeks to years), and provide an important source of energy for soil microorganisms."

In many these spin states vary between high-spin and low-spin configurations. These configurations can be understood through the two major models used to describe coordination complexes; crystal field theory and ligand field theory, which is a more advanced version based on molecular orbital theory. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 High-spin vs Low-spin1.1 Octahedral complexes1.2 Tetrahedral complexes1.3 Square planar complexes2 Ligand field theory vs Crystal field theory3 High-spin and low-spin systems3.1 Ionic radii4 References High-spin vs Low-spin [ edit]Main article: magnetochemistry Octahedral complexes [ edit]Low-spin [Fe (NO 2) 6] 3− crystal field diagram The Δ splitting of the d orbitals plays an important role in the electron spin state of a coordination complex. There are three factors that affect the Δ: the period (row in periodic table) of the metal ion, the charge of the metal ion, and the field strength of the complex's ligands as described by the spectrochemical series. In order for low spin splitting to occur, the energy cost of placing an electron into an already singly occupied orbital must be less than the cost of placing the additional electron into an e g orbital at an energy cost of Δ. If the energy required to pair two electrons is greater than the energy cost of placing an electron in an e g, Δ, high spin splitting occurs. If the separation between the orbitals is large, then the lower energy orbitals are completely filled before population of the higher orbitals according to the Aufbau principle. Complexes such as this are called \"\"low-spin\"\" since filling an orbital matches electrons and reduces the total electron spin. If the separation between the orbitals is small enough then it is easier to put electrons into the higher energy orbitals than it is to put two into the same low-energy orbital, because of the repulsion resulting from matching two electrons in the same orbital. So, one electron is put into each of the five d orbitals before any pairing occurs in accord with Hund's rule resulting in what is known as a \"\"high-spin\"\" complex."

As van Laer, de Ruyter, Visconti, and Wetzels [2] elaborate further, narrative transportation occurs whenever the story receiver experiences a feeling of entering a world evoked by the narrative because of empathy for the story characters and imagination of the story plot.

[ 4] Gerrig [5] was the first to coin the notion of narrative transportation within the context of novels. Using travel as a metaphor for reading, he conceptualizes narrative transportation as a state of detachment from the world of origin that the story receiver—in his words, the traveler—experiences because of his or her engrossment in the story, a condition that Green and Brock [6] later describe as the story receiver's experience of being carried away by the story. Notably, the state of narrative transportation makes the world of origin partially inaccessible to the story receiver, thus marking a clear separation in terms of here/there and now/before, or narrative world/world of origin. Relevant features [ edit]Most research on narrative transportation follows the original definition of the construct. Scholars in the field constantly reaffirm the relevance of three features. Narrative transportation requires that people process stories—the acts of receiving and interpreting."

This can be both a bane and a boon. If you can read another person's emotions then you can both avoid making a faux pas and also utilize their state to move them in another direction. When people are in emotional states their ability to decide is often significantly impaired. Thus you cannot expect aroused people to make rational choices at this time. Empathy is a bane if you end up experiencing all the bad feelings of everyone around you. This is one of the problems that therapists and other carers have to handle. It's not sympathy Empathy and sympathy are very close and are sometimes used as synonyms. The easiest way to separate them is to remember that empathy is about feelings whilst sympathy is about actions. Thus you may empathize with another person and then act on this by telling them how sorry or happy you feel for them."

You will not find the terms psychopath and sociopath in mental health’s official handbook, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Doctors don’t officially diagnose people as psychopaths or sociopaths. They use a different term instead: antisocial personality disorder. Most experts believe psychopaths and sociopaths share a similar set of traits. People like this have a poor inner sense of right and wrong. They also can’t seem to understand or share another person’s feelings. But there are some differences, too. PSYCHOPATHSA primary psychopath is an inherited condition."

"text": "What Is Empathy? The term “empathy” is used to describe a wide range of experiences. Emotion researchers generally define empathy as the ability to sense other people’s emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling. Contemporary researchers often differentiate between two types of empathy: “Affective empathy” refers to the sensations and feelings we get in response to others’ emotions; this can include mirroring what that person is feeling, or just feeling stressed when we detect another’s fear or anxiety. “ Cognitive empathy,” sometimes called “perspective taking,” refers to our ability to identify and understand other peoples’ emotions. Studies suggest that people with autism spectrum disorders have a hard time empathizing. Empathy seems to have deep roots in our brains and bodies, and in our evolutionary history. Elementary forms of empathy have been observed in our primate relatives, in dogs, and even in rats. Empathy has been associated with two different pathways in the brain, and scientists have speculated that some aspects of empathy can be traced to mirror neurons, cells in the brain that fire when we observe someone else perform an action in much the same way that they would fire if we performed that action ourselves. Research has also uncovered evidence of a genetic basisto empathy, though studies suggest that people can enhance (or restrict) their natural empathic abilities."

A pattern of traits and behaviors which signify infatuation and obsession with one's self to the exclusion of all others and the egotistic and ruthless pursuit of one's gratification, dominance and ambition. Most narcissists (75%) are men. NPD is one of a \"\"family\"\" of personality disorders (formerly known as \"\"Cluster B\"\"). Other members: Borderline PD, Antisocial PD and Histrionic PD. NPD is often diagnosed with other mental health disorders (\"\"co-morbidity\"\") - or with substance abuse, or impulsive and reckless behaviors (\"\"dual diagnosis\"\"). NPD is new (1980) mental health category in the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual (DSM). There is only scant research regarding narcissism. But what there is has not demonstrated any ethnic, social, cultural, economic, genetic, or professional predilection to NPD. It is estimated that 0.7-1% of the general population suffer from NPD."

"text": "In Parents, Parents' Coaching How to Break the Hold of Apathy in Your Teen’s Life Modified : December 22,2015In a world that has so much to offer, apathy should play no part in a young person’s life. Yet many teens today are having a crisis with this illness due to being unable to face the challenges of everyday life. A common apathy definition describes this condition as a loss of faith and hope in a person’s life. People may lose faith in themselves and feel they don’t have what it takes to accomplish anything in life. Or they may lose faith in others – family, friends, work colleagues or society at large – due to injustice, hardship and crime. Apathy can take on a number of forms to include voter apathy, student apathy, bystander apathy, social apathy and more. Parents who suspect their teens are suffering from an apathy disorder should talk openly with their kids or consult a professional counselor to help with this problem. What is the Definition of Apathy? By definition apathy is a condition in which people experience a loss of motivation, incentive and enthusiasm for life. Apathetic people may show symptoms of depression, disinterest, fatigue or despair with their surroundings, family, friends, career, etc."

Psychodramatic role reversal is a related method, rooted in classical role theory, in which two individuals each take the role of the other in an interpersonal situation and actually behave as if one is the other, before returning to their primary selves. In this exercise, every member of the dyad has to overcome both physical constraints and the natural tendency to adhere to one’s own viewpoint. This requires empathic abilities as well as creative imagination. Simultaneous holding of two mental representations, one’s own and another’s, may be a mechanism by which this task could be achieved. Psychological and neurobiological research is presented in favor of this assumption and the concept of creative empathy is introduced as a target for future quantitative and qualitative studies.

"text": "\"Sociopath Definition: Extremely Antisocial, No Conscience Tanya J. Peterson Print Email The word sociopath is a familiar one, yet it can be difficult to define sociopath. A simple definition of sociopath is someone who possesses the sociopathic characteristics of having no conscience and is tremendously antisocial. While indeed accurate, that definition falls a bit short. Perhaps that's because sociopath is a word that touches people on not just an intellectual level but an emotional one too, often evoking dark feelings and making people shudder ( Signs of a Sociopath are Big-Time Scary ). To define a sociopath, a complex human being who doesn't fit the norms of society - of humanity - it's necessary to consider that the true sociopath definition is actually a cluster of behaviors and personality traits. To Define Sociopath Using Other Terms Not only is the definition of sociopath complex, but the very word itself is complicated. Scientists and lay people alike use different words for this disorder. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) is the authority on mental illnesses published by the American Psychiatric Association. The DSM-5's diagnostic term for sociopathy is antisocial personality disorder. Other terms used for this condition are psychopathy ( psychopath ) and dyssocial personality disorder ( Psychopath vs. Sociopath: What’s the Difference? )."

Why Empathy Matters The word “empathy” entered the American lexicon in 1909. But it wasn't until Daniel Goleman's revolutionary book, “Emotional Intelligence,” burst on the scene in 1995 that empathy, the cornerstone of Goleman's thesis, gained widespread legitimacy. Everyone from psychologists and marriage counselors to human resource professionals and radio talk show hosts dissected this skill with vigor. Goleman did not mince words about the importance of empathy in human relationships, calling it the “fundamental people skill.” Failing to “register another's feelings is a major deficit in emotional intelligence, and a tragic failing in what it means to be human,” he wrote. “"

"text": "Empathy First published Mon Mar 31, 2008; substantive revision Thu Feb 14, 2013Despite its linguistic roots in ancient Greek, the concept of empathy is of recent intellectual heritage. Yet its history has been varied and colorful, a fact that is also mirrored in the multiplicity of definitions associated with the empathy concept in a number of different scientific and non-scientific discourses. In its philosophical heyday at the turn of the 19 th to the 20 th century, empathy had been hailed as the primary means for gaining knowledge of other minds and as the method uniquely suited for the human sciences, only to be almost entirely neglected philosophically for the rest of the century. Only recently have philosophers become again interested in empathy in light of the debate about our folk psychological mindreading capacities. In the second half of the last century, the task of addressing empathy was mainly left to psychologists who thematized it as a psychological phenomenon and process to be studied by the method of the empirical sciences. Particularly, it has been studied by social psychologists as a phenomenon assumed to be causally involved in creating prosocial attitudes and behavior. Nevertheless, within psychology it is at times difficult to find agreement of how exactly one should understand empathy; a fact of which psychologists themselves have become increasingly aware. The purpose of this entry is to clarify the empathy concept by surveying its history in various philosophical and psychological discussions and by indicating why empathy was and should be regarded to be of such central importance in understanding human agency in ordinary contexts, in the human sciences and for the constitution of ourselves as social and moral agents.1.

( 1) Empathy is about gaining a set of feelings, to feel what it’s like to be another person. Obviously you can never really be another person, which is what it would take to truly achieve this.

Marco Ooi, CC BY-SA 2.0Share Tweet Share E-mail Today, the terms “sociopath” and “psychopath” are used interchangeably — often as a nice way of avoiding “crazy” — yet in recent years the difference between “psychopath” and “sociopath” has become as widely pronounced as the scientific difference between shell shock and post-traumatic stress disorder, which is to say it’s massive. Mental illness-speak is rarely politically correct. That guy that lives upstairs is crazy. The driver behind you is a psycho. Your in-laws are nuts.

The GFR can be expressed as the following formula: GFR = K fx net filtration pressure K f = the filtration coefficent K f can furthermore be expressed by the following formula K f= membrane permeability x filtration area The GFR is practically proportional to metabolic body mass. Therefore the bigger the animal the greater the GFR. Regulation of the GFRThe following formula helps us to understand GFR and how various factors affect it. Whilst reading this article you may find it useful to refer back to it: Q = (PA - PE) ÷ RQ = Flow, PA = Pressure in afferent arteriole, PE = Pressure in efferent arteriole, R = Resistance There are two major forces opposing GFR. These are the hydrostatic pressure in the Bowmans space and the plasma protein osmotic pressure. These are not under physiological control. The filtration coefficient is also beyond the realms of physiological control. On the other hand the hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries and the renal blood flow are under physiological regulation and adjust filtration according to the bodies needs."

They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism. The afferent arterioles branch from the renal artery, which supplies blood to the kidneys. The afferent arterioles later diverge into the capillaries of the glomerulus. Contents [ hide ]1 Regulation2 See also3 Additional images4 References5 External links Regulation [ edit]When renal blood flow is reduced (indicating hypotension) or there is a decrease in sodium or chloride ion concentration, the macula densa of the distal tubule releases prostaglandins (mainly PGI2 and PGE2) and nitric oxide, which cause the juxtaglomerular cells lining the afferent arterioles to release renin, activating the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, to increase blood pressure and increase reabsorption of sodium ions into the bloodstream via aldosterone. [ 1]The macula densa cell can also increase the blood pressure of the afferent arterioles by decreasing the synthesis of adenosine or ATP. [ 2]If the afferent arterioles are constricted then the blood pressure in the capillaries of the kidneys will drop."

"text": "Renal effects of ACE inhibitors in hypertension Authors: Johannes FE Mann, MD Karl F Hilgers, MD Section Editors: George L Bakris, MD Norman M Kaplan, MD Deputy Editor: John P Forman, MD, MSc INTRODUCTIONThe effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors on renal function in the hypertensive patient is related both to the glomerular actions of angiotensin II and to the mechanism of autoregulation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [ 1 ]. Angiotensin II constricts both the afferent and efferent arterioles, but preferentially increases efferent resistance [ 2 ]. At least three factors may contribute to this response:● The efferent arteriole has a smaller diameter in the basal state; as a result, further constriction at this site will produce a greater increase in resistance than at the afferent arteriole [ 2]● Angiotensin II stimulates the release of the vasodilator nitric oxide from the afferent arteriole, thereby minimizing constriction at this site [ 3]● Angiotensin II minimizes vasoconstriction at the afferent arteriole via the stimulation of angiotensin II type 2 receptors, which results in vasodilation through a cytochrome P450 dependent pathway [ 4-6]The net effect of the more prominent increase in efferent tone is that the intraglomerular pressure is stable or increased, thereby tending to maintain or even raise the GFR. In addition to these arteriolar actions, angiotensin II constricts the mesangial cells, an effect that tends to lower the GFR by decreasing the surface area available for filtration.

VASCULAR SUPPLY TO THE KIDNEY (normal anatomy)The kidney is supplied with blood via the renal arteries that branch directly from the aorta, and enter the kidney at the hilus. The INTERLOBAR ARTERY is the first branch of the renal artery. The ARCUATE arteries (which arise from the interlobar arteries) run along the cortico-medullary junction and can be seen on cross section in histologic renal sections. Since this vessel courses through the cortico-medullary junction in the shape of an \"\"ARC\"\", it is called the ARCUATE ARTERY. The arcuate arteries give rise to the INTERLOBULAR arteries which then supply the glomeruli via AFFERENT arterioles. Do you see the small branches leaving the interlobular artery? These are the INTRALOBULAR arteries which become the afferent arterioles. Remember that the afferent arteriole brings blood to the glomerulus and the efferent arteriole takes blood away from the glomerulus. The efferent arterioles either 1) carry blood to capillaries in the medulla (Vasa recta) or 2) form anastomotic capillaries in the cortex (peritubular plexus)."

These terms have a slightly different meaning in the context of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS). In the PNS, afferent and efferent projections are always from the perspective of the spinal cord (see figures). PNS afferents are the axons of sensory neurons carrying sensory information from all over the body, into the spine. PNS efferents are the axons of spinal cord motor neurons that carry motor-movement signals out of the spine to the muscles. [ 1] [2] [3]In the CNS, afferent and efferent projections can be from the perspective of any given brain region. That is, each brain region has its own unique set of afferent and efferent projections. In the context of a given brain region, a fferents are a rriving fibers while e fferents are e xiting fibers.

In this lesson, you will learn about the somatic nervous system and how important it is to body functions. Examples and illustrations will be provided to assist your understanding of the lesson. Definition You are going to the bowling alley tonight with your friends. Do you know what muscles you need to use to bowl? How do your muscles know when and how to move to get the ball down the alley? The somatic nervous system is very important in getting that ball down the alley - especially if you want a strike. The somatic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system, which is the entire nervous system outside of the brain and spinal cord. Specifically, the somatic nervous system is responsible for movement of voluntary muscles and the process known as a reflex arc. This system carries nerve impulses back and forth between the central nervous system, which is the brain and the spinal cord, and the skeletal muscles, skin, and sensory organs."

The nerve fiber is a long process projecting far from the neuron's body that carries nerve impulses away from the central nervous system toward the peripheral effector organs (mainly muscles and glands ). A bundle of these fibers is called a motor nerve or an efferent nerve. The opposite direction of neural activity is afferent conduction, [1] [2] [3] which carries impulses by way of the afferent nerve fibers of sensory neurons. In the nervous system there is a \"\"closed loop\"\" system of sensation, decision, and reactions.

"text": "Updated on February 14, 2018There are two main divisions in the peripheral nervous system – the afferent division and the efferent division. In this article, we will explore the differences between the components of these divisions – afferent and efferent neurons. Contents [ hide]1 Definitions2 Afferent vs Efferent neurons3 Comparison chart Definitions A scheme of the afferent (sensory) versus efferent (motor) nerves. Afferent neurons carry information to the brain and spinal cord for analysis. Afferent neurons comprise afferent systems, also known as sensory systems, because they are activated by external stimuli and convey the information to the area of the brain that is responsible for processing a particular stimulus. Efferent neurons carry information out of the brain. In the peripheral nervous system, they are usually referred to as motor neurons, because most of them carry information from the spinal cord to the various muscles; in addition, they go pretty much to every organ in the body. Afferent vs Efferent neurons What is the difference between afferent neurons and efferent neurons? In biology, afferent systems like neurons carry things towards the central point, while efferent systems, for example, efferent neurons, carry the information away from the central point. Afferent neurons are also known as sensory neurons, as they transmit to the brain information derived from sensual perceptions, such as smell, touch, taste, light, etc."

"text": "\"MUSCLE TONE - SPINAL REFELXESMuscles are always at least partially contracted. Even seemingly relaxed muscles possess a small degree of tension called resting muscle tonus or tone. This tone is ultimately controlled by impulses from the brain, though special receptors in the muscles themselves are also instrumental in its regulation. The brain relies on input from these receptors as well as those in tendons and joints to give it the information it needs to direct smooth and coordinated muscle movements. They constantly supply the brain with necessary information concerning the ever-changing tone in muscles as well as the present position of muscles at any time during a movement. Many aspects of posture and movement depend on appropriately controlled and subsequently monitored tone in the large postural muscles. Here, we will examine how muscle tone is regulated both by the brain and spinal cord and how the brain is kept informed of the ever-changing status of this tone. A second objective will be to examine spinal reflexes. It is easy for the beginner to treat reflexes lightly, associating them only with visible activities such as the knee jerk. In fact, the vast majority of reflex actions are unseen and unnoticed and yet are vitally important to normal function."

The unmyelinated pain fibers belong to the class of afferent fibers called the C fibers and conduct from about 0.5 to 2.0 meters/second. The myelinated pain afferents belong to the class of afferent axons termed the A-delta fibers and conduct action potentials between about 5 to 30 meters/sec. These are the smallest and slowest of the myelinated axons. ( By contrast, myelinated axons for fine touch and proprioception conduct between 35 to 120 meters/sec. ) A C fiber can respond to a broad range of painful stimuli, including mechanical, thermal or metabolic factors. The pain produced is slow, burning, and long lasting. The neurotranmitter in the dorsal horn is glutamate along with certain peptides such as substance P. The receptors for glutamate are not only fast, five subunit ligand gated ion channels, but also NMDA receptors. The latter do not open immediately, but only following prolonged depolarization. Thus, continual stimulation of C fibers eventually causes greater excitation in the postsynaptic neurons in the dorsal horn as the NMDA receptors start adding to the response."

Esophageal pain is a type of visceral pain that is poorly localized owing to divergence of visceral afferents. The esophagus is innervated by vagal afferents and visceral spinal afferents, which transmit noxious stimuli to specific centers within the central nervous system. Mechanical distention, acid exposure, temperature, and osmolality-related stimuli can all induce esophageal pain. Esophageal dysmotility may also induce symptoms of heartburn and chest pain. Acid-induced esophageal pain is likely to be mediated by vanilloid receptor 1 ( VR1) and by anion-sensing ion channels (ASICs). Visceral hypersensitivity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of esophageal pain. Psychiatric disease plays a role in heartburn and chest pain. Diagnostic evaluation and medical management are important in heartburn and chest pain. New therapies are being developed for esophageal pain."

"text": "Post-publication activity Curator: John B. Furness Dr. John B. Furness, University of Melbourne, Australia Figure 1: caption here. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is the intrinsic nervous system of the gastrointestinal tract. It contains complete reflex circuits that detect the physiological condition of the gastrointestinal tract, integrate information about the state of the gastrointestinal tract, and provide outputs to control gut movement, fluid exchange between the gut and its lumen, and local blood flow (Gershon 2005; Furness 2006). It is the only part of the peripheral nervous system that contains extensive neural circuits that are capable of local, autonomous function. The ENS has extensive, two-way, connections with the central nervous system (CNS), and works in concert with the CNS to control the digestive system in the context of local and whole body physiological demands. Because of its extent and its degree of autonomy, the ENS has been referred to as a second brain. The roles of the ENS are much more restricted than the actual brain, and so this analogy has limited utility. The ENS is a division of the autonomic nervous system, the other divisions being the sympathetic and parasympathetic, with which it has extensive connections.

The nervous system of human beings controls these responses with the outer world. This is a complex system comprising millions of neurons.

"text": "Neural Circuits Neurons never function in isolation; they are organized into ensembles or circuits that process specific kinds of information. Although the arrangement of neural circuits varies greatly according to the intended function, some features are characteristic of all such ensembles. The synaptic connections that define a circuit are typically made in a dense tangle of dendrites, axons terminals, and glial cell processes that together constitute neuropil (the suffix - pil comes from the Greek word pilos, meaning “felt”; see Figure 1.3 ). Thus, the neuropil between nerve cell bodies is the region where most synaptic connectivity occurs. The direction of information flow in any particular circuit is essential to understanding its function. Nerve cells that carry information toward the central nervous system (or farther centrally within the spinal cord and brain) are called afferent neurons; nerve cells that carry information away from the brain or spinal cord (or away from the circuit in question) are called efferent neurons. Nerve cells that only participate in the local aspects of a circuit are called interneurons or local circuit neurons. These three classes—afferent neurons, efferent neurons, and interneurons—are the basic constituents of all neural circuits. Neural circuits are both anatomical and functional entities. A simple example is the circuit that subserves the myotatic (or “knee-jerk”) spinal reflex ( Figure 1.5 )."

"text": "1.1 What is Motor Control? Figure 1.1Sensory receptors provide information about the environment, which is then used to produce action to change the environment. Sometimes the pathway from sensation to action is direct, as in a reflex. In most cases, however, cognitive processing occurs to make actions adaptive and appropriate for the particular situation. Much of the brain and nervous system is devoted to the processing of sensory input, in order to construct detailed representations of the external environment. Through vision, audition, somatosensation, and the other senses, we perceive the world and our relationship to it. This elaborate processing would be of limited value, however, unless we had a way to act upon the environment that we are sensing, whether that action consist of running away from a predator; seeking shelter against the rain; searching for food when one is hungry; moving one’s lips and vocal cords in order to communicate with others; or performing the countless other varieties of actions that make up our daily lives. In some cases the relationship between the sensory input and the motor output are simple and direct; for example, touching a hot stove elicits an immediate withdrawal of the hand (Figure 1.1). Usually, however, our conscious actions require not only sensory input but a host of other cognitive processes that allow us to choose the most appropriate motor output for the given circumstances. In each case, the final output is a set of commands to certain muscles in the body to exert force against some other object or forces (e.g., gravity)."

It is difficult to define the term in a way that includes everything we call a reflex, yet says anything that allows one to decide if any particular event is a reflex. We will follow suit in a sense and define a reflex as \"\"a relatively stereotyped movement or response elicited by a stimulus applied to the periphery, transmitted to the central nervous system and then transmitted back out to the periphery.\"\" Most reflexes involve activities that are nearly the same each time they are repeated, but no activity of an organism is fixed and independent of either the state or the history of the organism. Most reflexes involve the simplest of neural circuits, some only two or a few neurons; but many, like the scratch-reflex in a dog, are so complicated that their organization remains a mystery. Most reflexes are \"\"involuntary\"\" in the sense that they occur without the person willing them to do so, but all of them can be brought under \"\"voluntary\"\" control. Some reflexes serve protective functions, like the eyeblink reflex. Some reflexes act as control systems to maintain homeostasis in some bodily systems. There are a number of ways of classifying reflexes. One is in terms of the systems that receive the stimulus and give the response."

Definition of Reflex Have you ever burnt yourself on a stove? What happened when you put your hand on the stove when it was hot? Did you have to say, 'Wow that is hot; I need to remove my hand!'? No! You moved your hand immediately because of a reflex. Reflex, or reflex action, is the involuntary movement of any organ or body part that has received a stimulus. It happens without any consciousness and is immediate."

In addition, the vestibular system provides us with our subjective sense of movement and orientation in space. The vestibular sensory organs are located in the petrous part of the temporal bone in close proximity to the cochlea, the auditory sensory organ. Although the vestibular system was recognized as a separate entity from the auditory portion of the inner ear only in the middle of the 19th century, it is phylogenetically the oldest part of the inner ear. The vestibular system is comprised of two types of sensors: the two otolith organs (the saccule and utricle), which sense linear acceleration (i.e., gravity and translational movements), and the three semicircular canals, which sense angular acceleration in three planes. The receptor cells of the otoliths and semicircular canals send signals through the vestibular nerve fibers to the neural structures that control eye movements, posture, and balance (Figure 1 ). In contrast to the senses of vision and audition which can easily be understood by simply shutting our eyes or plugging our ears, the significance of vestibular function in our daily lives is more difficult to appreciate. When the system is functioning normally, we are usually unaware of a distinct sensation arising from vestibular activity since it is integrated with visual, proprioceptive and other sensory information such that combined experience leads to a sense of motion. In addition, the important contributions that the vestibular system normally makes to gaze stabilization and postural control are difficult to fully comprehend. For this reason, clinical studies have provided many important insights into function of the vestibular system."

"text": "Full Answer Afferent neurons are also known as sensory receptor neurons. For example, a touch stimulus creates a sensation in the brain only after the afferent neurons sense the stimuli and send the information about the stimuli. Efferent neurons are also known as effector or motor neurons. These special nerve cells send signals from the central nervous system, so as to initiate an action. The human body has millions of cells; those found in the central nervous system are called neurons or nerve cells, and they are responsible for carrying messages within the body. They also play a part in cellular processes such as energy generation and protein synthesis. Neurons have special cell parts called dendrites and axons. Dendrites carry signals to the cell body, whereas axons carry information away from the cell body. The movement of information within the body is facilitated by interneurons. These are neurons that form a connection between two or more neurons creating a complex network of neurons."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology Difference between efferent afferent nerve impulse?atleast 6 points? Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In the nervous system, efferent nerves – otherwise known as motor or effector neurons – carry nerve impulses away from the central nervous system to effectors such as muscles or glands (and also the ciliated cells of the inner ear). The term can also be used to describe relative connections between nervous structures. The opposite activity of direction or flow is afferent . In the nervous system, afferent neurons--otherwise known as sensory or receptor neurons--carry nerve impulses from receptors or sense organs toward the central nervous system. This term can also be used to describe relative connections between structures. Afferent neurons communicate with specialized interneurons. ( The opposite activity of direction or flow is efferent.) In the nervous system there is a \"\"closed loop\"\" system of sensation, decision, and reactions. This process is carried out through the activity of afferent neurons, interneurons, and efferent neurons."

The somatic sensory system mediates the sense of touch, and the proprioceptive division relays information about internal parts of the body. The auditory system provides hearing, and located in the same area is the vestibular system, which provides a sense a balance. The olfactory system and the gustatory system mediate the sense of smell and taste. The conversion of outside signals to chemical signals in the brain is referred to as transduction, and sensory transduction in the various systems shares a few characteristics. Sensory receptors (neurons, in the somatic sensory and olfactory systems, and epithelial cells in the visual, auditory, gustatory systems) synapse on an interneuron that relays signals to the brain. Perceptions can vary in four ways: modality (auditory, visual, etc. ), intensity, duration and location. Variations in sensation are encoded in variations in action potentials.

These terms have a slightly different meaning in the context of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS). In the PNS, afferent and efferent projections are always from the perspective of the spinal cord (see figures). PNS afferents are the axons of sensory neurons carrying sensory information from all over the body, into the spine. PNS efferents are the axons of spinal cord motor neurons that carry motor-movement signals out of the spine to the muscles. [ 1] [2] [3]In the CNS, afferent and efferent projections can be from the perspective of any given brain region. That is, each brain region has its own unique set of afferent and efferent projections. In the context of a given brain region, a fferents are a rriving fibers while e fferents are e xiting fibers.

[ 1]Impulses are carried from receptors via sensory afferents to the dorsal root ganglia, where the cell bodies of the first-order neurons are located. Their axons then travel through the spinal cord either in an ipsilateral or a contralateral fashion. Note that second-order neuron cell bodies are located in different anatomical areas depending on the sensation they carry. Broadly, the spinal cord contains the second-order neurons for the fibers carrying pain, touch, and temperature sensations. The medulla contains the second-order neurons for fibers carrying touch, position, and vibratory sensations. The fibers are then either conveyed to the thalamus (where the third-order neurons are located) or conveyed to the cerebellum. The latter tracts are not discussed in this article in detail because they carry information that is not perceived consciously. From the thalamic nucleus, the sensory afferents are projected to the cortical sensory areas, where information is integrated and analyzed. ["

Each spindle consists of intrafusal fibers, sensory nerve endings, and gamma motor neuron endings. They are responsible for conveying information to the central nervous system about the absolute muscle length and changes in muscle length. Spindles play an important role in motor control and are used to help regulate muscle length during movement. ANATOMY: Figure 1. The muscle spindle is a proprioceptor located deep within the muscle parallel to the extrafusal muscle fibers. It is encapsulated in connective tissue and located directly inside the muscle interwoven between the intrafusal fibers. Each spindle is divided into three regions; equatorial (middle), juxta-equatorial, and polar ends (where the contractile mechanisms are located). The spindle consists of two types of intrafusal muscle fibers, nuclear bag and nuclear chain fibers. Each spindle contains 1-2 nuclear bag fibers and 5-7 nuclear chain fibers."

"text": "Posted on June 10, 2016What does “subscribed and sworn to before me” mean? Written by The Affidavit Guru Posted in Affidavits, FAQ, USAThe phrase “subscribed and sworn to before me” when used in affidavits really just means that the affidavit was signed by the affiant in front of, and an oath was administered by, a notary public or other person administered to take the affidavit. The word “subscribed” is simply an old-fashioned legal term meaning “signed.” The definition of “subscriber” in the first edition of Black’s Legal Dictionary (published in 1891) includes “one who affixes his signature to any document. ”Affidavits must be sworn or affirmed before a person authorised to administer the oath or take the affirmation (in the USA this is usually a notary public). The affiant must then sign the affidavit in the notary’s presence. Putting these two concepts together, the phrase “subscribed and sworn to before me” precedes the notary’s details and signature to confirm that these acts have occurred. If the affidavit is affirming rather than swearing the affidavit this phrase can be amended to “subscribed and affirmed before me. ”Post navigation Affidavits in Hawaii"

( September 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In American law, a signing agent or courtesy signer is an agent whose function is to obtain a formal signature of an appearer to a document. In common parlance, most jurisdictions require the appearer to sign before a notary public. From this, the practice of a notary public designating themselves as a signing agent has arisen. There are notaries public who specialize in the notarization of real estate transfer and loan document signings. Signing agents often have certification and training through private organizations, but is not a requirement in law, although it may be a requirement of the lender in the oversight of real estate transaction document signatures. Also referred to as a notary signing agent or a loan signing agent, a signing agent should not be confused with a mortgage loan closer or closing agent. Signing agents are notaries public, who usually have experience and/or training concerning the proper execution of loan documents and are hired by mortgage companies, escrow companies, title companies, and signing services to identify loan documents, obtain the necessary signatures, and in some cases deliver the documents to the borrower."

"text": "Topic: MORTGAGE LOANS; Location: MORTGAGES;February 5, 20082008-R-0072RELEASE OF MORTGAGE—LENDER ' S DUTY TO RECORDBy: George Coppolo, Chief Attorney You asked if Connecticut law requires a lender to record a mortgage release on the land records, or send the buyer ' s attorney the release, for a mortgage that was paid off from the proceeds of the sale of the mortgaged property. SUMMARYThe law does not require a lender to record on the land records a release for a mortgage that was fully paid off from the proceeds of the sale of the mortgaged property. But the law requires lenders (mortgagees) to execute and deliver a mortgage release if the mortgage debt has been paid off. They must do so within 60 days after (1) a written request was sent to their last-know address by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested or (2) they received the request from a private messenger or courier service or through any other means of communication, including electronic, reasonably calculated to give the written request or a copy of it. A mortgagee who does not comply with this requirement is liable for damages for whichever of the following is larger: (1) a rate of $200 for each week after the 60 day period expires up to a maximum of $5,000 or (2) an amount equal to the loss sustained as a result of the failure to execute and deliver a release within 60 days. The mortgagee is also liable for costs and reasonable attorney ' s fees. The law provides an additional safeguard when a mortgagee does not provide a mortgage release. Specifically, it authorizes a licensed Connecticut attorney in good standing, a title insurance company officer, or an officer of a bank or other institutional lender to file an affidavit on the land records instead of a mortgage release when the mortgagee does not execute and deliver a release within 60 days after the mortgage was paid off. This affidavit, when recorded on the land records, is a release of the mortgage on the property it describes. But this law only applies to mortgages on one-to-four family residences and residential units in condominiums and other common interest communities."

"text": "SHORT FORM CERTIFICATESThe Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) requires that a notarial act must be evidenced by a certificate. This means that, when notarizing documents, the notary public must include a statement indicating the type of notarial act performed, showing when, where and before whom the notarial act was completed. It is never acceptable to place only one’s signature and seal on a document, without any notarial language. The notarial certificate issued by a notary public must:1) be executed contemporaneously with the performance of the notarial act (while the customer is present);2) be dated and signed by the notary with the notary public's name exactly and only as it appears on the notary’s commission;3) identify the county and state in which the notarial act is performed;4) contain the notary’s official stamp, which must be placed on the certificate near the notary public's signature in a form capable of photographic reproduction. By executing a certificate of a notarial act, a notary public certifies that the notary has the authority to perform the notarial act and is not prohibited from performing the notarial act due to conflict of interest under section 304 of RULONA; has complied with the requirements for certain notarial acts under section 305 and has required personal appearance of the customer as described by section 306. Sample notary statements are available for the following notarial acts: Acknowledgements Oaths or affirmations Verification oath or affirmation (affidavits)Witnessing or attesting a signature Certifying or attesting a copy or deposition Acknowledgments An acknowledgment is a declaration by an individual before a notarial officer that: (1) the individual has signed a record for the purpose stated in the record; and (2) if the record is signed in a representative capacity, the individual signed the record with proper authority and signed it as the act of the individual or entity identified in the record. A notarial officer who takes an acknowledgment of a record shall determine, from personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence of the identity of the individual, all of the following: (1) The individual appearing before the notarial officer and making the acknowledgment has the identity claimed. ( 2) The signature on the record is the signature of the individual. Three acknowledgment short forms are provided by RULONA. The person acknowledging the record must personally appear before the notary."

"text": "\"Affiant Law and Legal Definition An affiant is a person who swears to the truth of statements made in an affidavit. An affidavit is statement of facts which is sworn to (or affirmed) before an officer who has authority to administer an oath (e.g. a notary public). The person making the signed statement (affiant) takes an oath that the contents are, to the best of their knowledge, true. It is also signed by a notary or some other judicial officer that can administer oaths, affirming that the person signing the affidavit was under oath when doing so. These documents are valuable to presenting evidence in court when a witness is unavailable to testify in person. Affidavits may preserve the testimony of persons who are unable to appear in court due to illness, incarceration, moving out-of-state, death, etc. Judges frequently accept an affidavit instead of the testimony of the witness and are used in place of live testimony in many circumstances (for example, when a motion is filed, a supporting affidavit may be filed with it). An affidavit generally consists of statements of fact regarding the issue at hand, with a section at the bottom for the affiant to swear to to truth of the statements made and affix his/her signature, which is then notarized in a jurat. A jurat is the bottom part of an affidavit where the officer certifies that the document was \"\"sworn\"\" before him. Jurat notarizations are required for transactions where the signer must attest to the content of the document, such as all affidavits and pleadings in court."

Also, notaries engage in various types of notary acts involving Acknowledgments, Jurats (which include Oaths), Oaths, Affirmations, Protests, and more depending on what state is in question. How much should a notary charge for swearing in a witness? Notaries can swear in witnesses, and so can a judge, as well as other types of state appointed officers such as a justice of the peace, etc. When you are swearing someone in, you are giving them an Oath. You might have the affiant raise their right hand and ask them, “Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?”. They might say, “Yes”, or “I do”. An Arizona Notary can charge $2 for administering an Oath A California Notary can charge $10 for administering an Oath. A Florida Notary Public can charge $10 for administering an Oath An Illinois Notary may charge $1 for administering an Oath A Maryland Notary may charge $2 for administering an Oath A Michigan Notary can charge $10.00 for administering an Oath A Notary in New York can only charge $2 for administering an Oath A Notary in New Jersey can charge $2.50 for administering an Oath An Ohio Notary can charge $1 for administering an Oath A Pennsylvania Notary can charge $5 for administering an Oath A Texas Notary can charge $6 for administering an Oath A Virginia Notary can charge $5 for administering an Oath A Washington State Notary can charge $10.00 for administering an Oath A Washington DC Notary can charge $2 for administering an Oath Note: The price for Oaths and Affirmations in the mentioned states are identical.

"text": "By Holly Marsh Feb 23, 2018 12768How to Find the Owners Name of a Cell Phone Number [Formula Inside]As landlines are declining, there are new ways to discover the names of people who are calling you by using NCD, A. K. A the National Cellular Directory. In this day and age, many homeowners are ditching their landlines in favor of their mobile phones. With the ability to remain continuously connected to the internet and swiftly communicate in many circumstances, landlines are quickly turning into a thing of the past. Free Tip: How to find someone's cell phone number absolutely free ! The decline of landlines and the affirmation of cellphone-only homes. To illustrate the decline of landlines and the affirmation of cell-phone-only families, I thought it would be a great idea to get started with my perspective, as I feel many readers will be able to relate to the following. Personally, I have been living without a landline for the past ten years of my life, and so is the vast majority of my peers (I am 29 years old, living in one of the most populated metropolitan areas in the United States). My parents, who live in a smaller town and have been enthusiastic supporters of landlines over mobile phones, are currently making the switch to get rid of their landline! They have come to realize that landlines were useless to stay in touch with their kids, as me and my brothers both use mobile devices and internet only. Their landline was also pretty pointless to get in touch with relatives overseas (We have family in Australia, making it expensive to make landline calls)."

Full Answer Pacific Bell, or Pac Bell as it was known throughout the state, has been providing telephone service for California customers for decades. In that time, it has undergone numerous ownership changes and has been known by several official names. It was originally separated from AT&T in a major corporate breakup in 1984, and since then it has been the target of a handful of corporate acquisitions by other separate companies. In 2005, the company that owned Pacific Bell, SBC, completed a corporate acquisition of AT&T, and the merged company is now officially known as Pacific Bell Telephone Company Doing Business As AT&T California. In the years since, the Pacific Bell or Pac Bell trademarks, graphics, and other branding elements have been discontinued or merged within the AT&T umbrella."

"text": "Protein Biology Resource Library Pierce Protein Methods Proteins interact with DNA through electrostatic interactions (salt bridges), dipolar interactions (hydrogen bonding, H-bonds), entropic effects (hydrophobic interactions) and dispersion forces (base stacking). These forces contribute in varying degrees to proteins binding in a sequence-specific or non–sequence-specific manner. Understanding how proteins interact with DNA, determining what proteins are present in these protein–DNA complexes, and identifying the nucleic acid sequence (and possible structure) required to assemble these complexes are vital to understanding the role these complexes play in regulating cellular processes. A number of laboratory techniques have been developed to study the complex interactions of proteins with DNA, each with a unique history, varying utility, and distinct strengths and weaknesses.

The Ch IP assay method allows analysis of DNA–protein interactions in living cells by treating the cells with formaldehyde or other crosslinking reagents in order to stabilize the interactions for downstream purification and detection. Performing Ch IP assays requires knowledge of the target protein and DNA sequence that will be analyzed, as researchers must provide an antibody against the protein of interest and PCR primers for the DNA sequence of interest. The antibody is used to selectively precipitate the protein–DNA complex from the other genomic DNA fragments and protein–DNA complexes. The PCR primers allow specific amplification and detection of the target DNA sequence. Quantitative PCR (q PCR) technique allows the amount of target DNA sequence to be quantified."

November 07, 2012 | By Wailin Wong | Tribune reporter Note: Job cut numbers are updated to correct confusion over numbers supplied by U. S. Cellular. Chicago-based wireless carrier U. S. Cellular said Wednesday that it is selling its Chicago, St. Louis and central Illinois markets, along with three others in the Midwest, to subsidiaries of Sprint Nextel Corp. for $480 million. The deal, which requires regulatory approval and is expected to close in mid-2013, will transfer PCS spectrum and about 585,000 customers -- just under 10 percent of U. S. Cellular's subscribers -- to Sprint. The markets account for about 11 percent of U. S. Cellular's service revenues. As part of the transition, about 640 local jobs -- 160 of them in Chicago proper -- will be eliminated over time. Overall losses in the affected markets will number about 980 positions, with approximately 850 of those related to retail stores. U. S. Cellular will be closing its stores in the geographies it's exiting; engineering and business support jobs in areas such as finance and marketing will also be eliminated. U. S. Cellular, which employed about 8,400 at the end of September, will retain its Chicago headquarters along with 860 jobs there."

The contacts between the two proteins are shown as coloured patches. Protein–protein interactions ( PPIs) are the physical contacts of high specificity established between two or more protein molecules as a result of biochemical events steered by electrostatic forces including the hydrophobic effect. Many are physical contacts with molecular associations between chains that occur in a cell or in a living organism in a specific biomolecular context. [ 1]Proteins rarely act alone as their functions tend to be regulated. Many molecular processes within a cell are carried out by molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein components organized by their PPIs. These interactions make up the so-called interactomics of the organism, while aberrant PPIs are the basis of multiple aggregation-related diseases, such as Creutzfeldt–Jakob, Alzheimer's diseases, and may lead to cancer. PPIs have been studied from different perspectives: biochemistry, quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, signal transduction, among others.

On opposing cell surfaces, such recognition bears distinct features: it is a multivalent, reversible and avidity-driven process. The affinity between each individual contacting pair is low. Viruses might take advantage of this low affinity to invade a host cell by evolving a stronger binding affinity to the surface receptors than that associated with physiological ligands. Structural data appear to support this notion. Previous article Next article Keywordsreceptor cell adhesion protein recognition structure affinityavidity virus Keywords Biochemistry Virology Cell biology A living cell is constantly interacting with its environment. For this function, specialized molecules on the cell surface termed receptors receive various external signals [1,2] and transduce these signals across the cell membrane, activating intracellular pathways. These pathways then affect intracellular biochemistry and/or gene activation. The cell-surface receptor can be a carbohydrate, a lipid or a protein, although this article focuses only on protein receptors. Interestingly, some of these receptors have been usurped by viruses as their attachment sites on host cell surfaces."

An unsung hero of the Space Race earns her place among the stars.by Shawn Hymel August 23, 2016 07:55 Pacific Daylight Time 4Space Favorite 3Growing up, I was enamored with the United States' space program. I watched shuttle launches on TV and knew almost all of the historical rockets by heart. It wasn’t until I watched the movie “Apollo 13” that I realized most of the magic happens on the ground. The success of a space mission relies heavily on brilliant mathematicians, scientists and engineers. Katherine Johnson is one such brilliant mathematician. In fact, she was perhaps one of the most influential mathematicians to ever work at NASA. Katherine Johnson at her desk with a “Celestial Training Device.” Image credits: NASAMini Biography Johnson was born in White Sulphur Springs, WV, in 1918 and showed a very early affinity for math."

Proteins ( / ˈ p r oʊ ˌ t iː n z / or / ˈ p r oʊ t i. ɪ n z /) are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, and transporting molecules from one location to another. Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which usually results in protein folding into a specific three-dimensional structure that determines its activity. A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide."

ASM .orgkeywords GOAdvanced »User Name Password Sign In Current Methods for Detecting Antibodies against Erythropoietin and Other Recombinant Proteins Robin Thorpe 1, * and Steven J Swanson 2, *+ Author Affiliations1Division of Immunobiology, The National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom2Department of Clinical Immunology, Amgen Inc., Thousand Oaks, California Recombinant DNA technology has revolutionized the production and use of a number of therapeutic proteins, including cytokines and cellular growth factors. These proteins have similar or identical biologic activities as their natural counterparts and are particularly useful for treating patients who are deficient in these cytokines or growth factors because of congenital abnormalities, certain viral or toxicologic pathologies, or cancer chemotherapy. However, in some instances, the use of recombinant therapeutic proteins or proteins contained in certain viral delivery vehicles has led to the production of antibodies (Abs) that can neutralize protein function ( 12, 22, 27, 41, 46, 73, 86, 91, 92 ). Therefore, the production of Abs is a potentially limiting factor for the successful clinical use of recombinant therapeutic proteins ( 72 ). Ab responses to therapeutic proteins may impact the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of therapeutic proteins ( 18, 46, 54, 73, 97 ). For example, complexes formed between Abs and the therapeutic agents they recognize can adversely affect the pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic characteristics of recombinant proteins by limiting or altering the volume of distribution in vivo ( 55 ). Neutralizing Abs can bind to the portions of drug molecules involved in receptor binding or cell activation, thereby blocking the therapeutic effect of the drug ( 98 ). In addition, neutralizing Abs formed against a recombinant protein may also inhibit the activity of the corresponding endogenous factor, resulting in a failure to respond to that factor ( 10 ). Rarely, Abs may be part of an allergic response that could potentially lead to inflammation, skin reactions, or other adverse events ( 20, 94 )."

[show]Properties of elements [show]Data pages for elements [show]Book Category Chemistry Portalv t e The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties, whose adopted structure shows periodic trends. Generally, within one row (period) the elements are metals on the left, and non-metals on the right, with the elements having similar chemical behaviours being placed in the same column. Table rows are commonly called periods and columns are called groups. Six groups have accepted names as well as assigned numbers: for example, group 17 elements are halogens; and group 18 are noble gases. Also displayed are four simple rectangular areas or blocks associated with the filling of different atomic orbitals. Importantly, the organization of the periodic table can be utilized to derive relationships between various element properties, but also predicted chemical properties and behaviours of undiscovered or newly synthesized elements. Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev was first to publish a recognizable periodic table in 1869, developed mainly to illustrate periodic trends of the then-known elements. He also predicted some properties of unidentified elements that were expected to fill gaps within this table."

The NCUA is an independent agency of the United States Government that regulates, charters, and insures the nation's federal credit unions, similar to how the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures and regulates banks. All types of share accounts and deposits received by Affinity Plus are insured, including the following: Regular Share Accounts (ex. S1 Membership Savings, S6 Capitol Money Market, and more)Share Certificates (ex. I30 Certificate Builder, I4, I5, I6, 12-month Certificate, and more)Share Draft Accounts (ex. S7 Free Checking, S14 Better Than Free, and more)Trust Accounts In addition, retirement accounts are also insured, including Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) (ex. Roth IRA, Traditional IRA, and more). If you have accounts at other credit unions outside of Affinity Plus, the insurance applied to the share accounts at these credit unions is separate; it will not be added together. You will have coverage up to the full insurable amount in each of the credit unions.

Erin Lowry Credit Unions offer Americans alternatives to doing business with the big banks (or even local banks). Instead of answering to shareholders, a credit union must act in the best interest of its members — who also happen to be the customers. By joining a credit union, you own a share in the financial institution and thus have voting rights. Credit unions are often a slightly exclusive, with membership eligibility requirements being strict and often focused geographically. Take one of these paths if you’re interested in joining a credit union: See if you’re eligible for a credit union because you live, work, worship, volunteer in its region or belong to an organization/work for an employer with membership privileges. If not, you can join any of the credit unions below by making a donation to join an organization with membership privileges or in some cases, by registering to volunteer or pledge support to a credit union approved organization.

First Entertainment Credit Union (or First Entertainment) is a state-chartered, natural person (retail) credit union – a cooperative financial institution that is owned and controlled by its members and operated for the purpose of promoting thrift, providing credit at competitive rates, and providing other financial services to its members. [ 1] [2] [3] Headquartered in Hollywood, California, First Entertainment Credit Union is regulated under the authority of both the California Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the U.

Studios in 1967 – opened in a small office on Warner Bros. lot with only $40 in assets. First known as the Warner Seven Federal Credit Union, the name was changed to Warner Bros. Employees Federal Credit Union in 1970, and following a merger with the Columbia (Studios) Employees Credit Union in 1973, became the Columbia/Warner Bros. Employees Federal Credit Union. As the credit union grew, so did the number of those eligible for the services offered. Now able to take on more entertainment-based companies, the organization realized that a new name was needed so it would better define their expanded field of membership. In 1984, the credit union was renamed First Entertainment Federal Credit Union. Following another merger, this time with Screenland/MGM Employees Credit Union, First Entertainment’s assets nearly doubled in size – from $40 million to $73 million."

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": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Immune globulin)navigation search This article is about the class of proteins. For other uses, see Antibody (disambiguation). Each antibody binds to a specific antigen; an interaction similar to a lock and key. An antibody ( Ab ), also known as an immunoglobulin ( Ig ), [1] is a large, Y-shaped protein produced mainly by plasma cells that is used by the immune system to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique molecule of the pathogen, called an antigen, via the Fab's variable region. [ 2] [3] Each tip of the \"\"Y\"\" of an antibody contains a paratope (analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (similarly analogous to a key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision. Using this binding mechanism, an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune system, or can neutralize its target directly (for example, by blocking a part of a microbe that is essential for its invasion and survival). Depending on the antigen, the binding may impede the biological process causing the disease or may activate macrophages to destroy the foreign substance. The ability of an antibody to communicate with the other components of the immune system is mediated via its Fc region (located at the base of the \"\"Y\"\"), which contains a conserved glycosylation site involved in these interactions. [ 4] The production of antibodies is the main function of the humoral immune system. ["

Davis, August 12, 2010 (sent for review March 20, 2010)Next Section Abstract The activation of T lymphocytes (T cells) requires signaling through the T-cell receptor (TCR). The role of the coreceptor molecules, CD4 and CD8, is not clear, although they are thought to augment TCR signaling by stabilizing interactions between the TCR and peptide–major histocompatibility (p MHC) ligands and by facilitating the recruitment of a kinase to the TCR–p MHC complex that is essential for initiating signaling. Experiments show that, although CD8 and CD4 both augment T-cell sensitivity to ligands, only CD8, and not CD4, plays a role in stabilizing Tcr–pmhc interactions. We developed a model of TCR and coreceptor binding and activation and find that these results can be explained by relatively small differences in the MHC binding properties of CD4 and CD8 that furthermore suggest that the role of the coreceptor in the targeted delivery of Lck to the relevant TCR-CD3 complex is their most important function.computationcoreceptors T-cell activationstochastic processdiffusion Membrane proteins CD4 and CD8 are expressed on T helper cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, respectively, that are known to augment the sensitivity and response of T cells to cognate peptide–major histocompatibility (p MHC) ligands ( 1 – 3 ). It is generally thought that the ability of these coreceptors to enhance T-cell responses is due to two main effects: ( i) Binding of CD4 and CD8 to MHC class II and class I molecules helps stabilize weak T-cell receptor (TCR)-p MHC interactions; and ( ii) the Src kinase, Lck, which is bound to the cytoplasmic tail of coreceptors, is efficiently recruited to the TCR complex upon coreceptor binding to the MHC, thereby enhancing the initiation of TCR signaling ( 3, 4 ). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analyses show that the half-lives characterizing coreceptor–MHC interactions are <35 ms (off rate >20 s −1, the resolution of SPR instruments) for both CD4 and CD8 ( 5 – 7 ). It is difficult to understand how the two effects noted above can be potentiated by such fleeting interactions. For example, consider the effect of coreceptor–MHC interactions in stabilizing the TCR-p MHC complex."

Reimer ‡, Stephen J Smith †, and Wolf B. Frommer *, §Author Affiliations Communicated by Christopher R. Somerville, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Stanford, CA, April 26, 2005 (received for review March 23, 2005)Abstract Full Text Authors & Info Figures Metrics Related Content PDFNext Section Abstract Glutamate is the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. Once released, its rapid removal from the synaptic cleft is critical for preventing excitotoxicity and spillover to neighboring synapses. Despite consensus on the role of glutamate in normal and disease physiology, technical issues limit our understanding of its metabolism in intact cells. To monitor glutamate levels inside and at the surface of living cells, genetically encoded nanosensors were developed. The fluorescent indicator protein for glutamate (FLIPE) consists of the glutamate/aspartate binding protein ybe J from Escherichia coli fused to two variants of the green fluorescent protein. Three sensors with lower affinities for glutamate were created by mutation of residues peristeric to the ybe J binding pocket. In the presence of ligands, FLIPEs show a concentration-dependent decrease in FRET efficiency. When expressed on the surface of rat hippocampal neurons or PC12 cells, the sensors respond to extracellular glutamate with a reversible concentration-dependent decrease in FRET efficiency. Depolarization of neurons leads to a reduction in FRET efficiency corresponding to 300 n M glutamate at the cell surface. No change in FRET was observed when cells expressing sensors in the cytosol were superfused with up to 20 m M glutamate, consistent with a minimal contribution of glutamate uptake to cytosolic glutamate levels."

"text": "KYLE’S CORNER – AUTO REPAIR HELPDIAGNOSE – ENGINE PINGS OR KNOCKS ON ACCELERATIONby Kyle Mc Fadden SYMPTOM SUMMARY The engine “pings” or knocks on acceleration. The symptom is more pronounced when the engine is at operating temperature. USUAL CAUSE Engine ping is the result of abnormally high combustion temperatures. The usual cause of engine ping is over advanced ignition timing, an inoperative EGR system or improper fuel usage. A defect in the cooling system can also result in engine ping. DIAGNOSIS First, do not confuse engine ping with a mechanical failure that produces an internal knock in the engine. An engine knock will be a deep sound that eminates from the engines lower section and will be present under almost all operating conditions. Engine ping is usually present during moderate to heavy engine acceleration after the engine has reached or is near operating temperature. The ignition timing should be inspected and adjusted according to manufacturers specifications. Some vehicles use computer controlled ignition timing that is not adjustable."

This enzyme is associated with the degradation of lung tissue in people suffering from emphysema. It is useful in studying causes of this disease. Protein crystal, Malic Enzyme is a target protein for drug design because it is a key protein in the life cycle of intestinal parasites. After 2 years of effort on Earth, investigators were unable to produce any crystals that were of high enough quality and for this reason the structure of this important protein could not be determined. Crystals obtained from one STS-50 were of superior quality allowing the structure to be determined. This is just one example why access to space is so vital for these studies. Neutron Diffraction (also known as neutron scattering or neutron crystallography) is an experimental science that studies the spatial arrangement of atoms in proteins. Although neutron diffraction and X-ray scattering techniques use different radiation sources, the resulting diffraction pattern is analyzed using the same coherent imaging techniques. However, the use of neutron diffraction as an experimental technique is still a relatively new technique compare to X-ray and electron diffraction because the accumulation of free neutrons, the radiation source, can only be obtain from nuclear reactors."

"text": "\"Several factors affect the shelf life of ethanol blend gasolines... Gasoline blends without ethanol, have a shelf life of many years. The shelf life of E10 is lower due to ethanol's affinity to attract and absorb water. The public has not been properly educated in the changes in fuel system management since the switchover to alcohol blends of fuel. Even many gas stations owners, do not realize that E10 is expired (bad fuel) only after about 90 days from the date ethanol was added to the gasoline. Often when tanks are not properly serviced before switching to ethanol blends of fuel, the water present at the bottom of tank will immediately contaminate the new E10 gas added. All gas supplied to the public contains preservatives - But this perservatives and stabilizers do almost nothing to prevent water contamination. Foolishly, many consumers are adding extra \"\"additives\"\" to their gas tanks that sometimes deceptively claim they will prevent ethanol water absorption - No product/additive with this capability exists. Several additives/products may help with the undesireable side effects, due to ethanol chemical properties (drying agent, solvent, etc.) -No product exists that will prevent water absorption by alcohol.

How does IP work? Immunoprecipitation was first developed as an adaptation of traditional column affinity chromatography, which involves allowing sample, wash, and other solutions to pass through a column that is packed with porous resin (typically beaded agarose) onto which a target-specific antibody has been immobilized. However, instead of using a packed column, immunoprecipitation uses a small amount of resin in a microcentrifuge tube, and incubation steps are performed in a batch-wise manner. For each step, solution is added to the beads, which are then mixed and incubated together as a slurry (i.e., the beads are suspended in the solution). At the end of each incubation step, the beads are pelleted to the bottom of the tube by centrifugation (or a magnet; see below) so that the solution can be removed using a pipet."

Detect offline servers and implement consistent failover. Allow the draining, removal, and addition of servers without disrupting current connections. Although you can publish a hardware load balancing device to balance traffic to Web servers, Forefront TMG server farm load balancing provides a number of advantages: Hardware load balancing devices may use source IP addresses to balance requests, and this may not be viable when balancing requests from clients situated behind network address translation (NAT) devices. For Web publishing requests, if Forefront TMG is not configured to forward the original client IP address to the published server, the source IP address for requests will be that of the Forefront TMG computer. Although one solution to the source IP address issue is to configure Forefront TMG to forward the original client IP address, this may be difficult to scale. It requires the Forefront TMG computer to be configured as the default gateway on published servers, so that the published server directs responses to the Internet to the Forefront TMG computer. The server farm load balancing feature eliminates the need to purchase a load balancing hardware device, thus saving costs. Creating server farms Forefront TMG allows you to group Web servers that share the following characteristics: All servers in the farm contain the same information, for example, mirrored servers.

Hematology includes the study of etiology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention of blood diseases. Here are some important aspects to learn about it when you first start studying haematology in medicine. Steps1 Know the different terminology for physicians specialized in haematology. Such physicians are known as haematologists. Their routine work mainly includes the care and treatment of patients with haematological diseases, although some may also work at the haematology laboratory viewing blood films and bone marrow slides under the microscope, interpreting various haematological test results. In some institutions, haematologists also manage the haematology laboratory. Physicians who work in haematology laboratories, and most commonly manage them, are pathologists specialized in the diagnosis of haematological diseases, referred to as haematopathologists. Haematologists and haematopathologists generally work in conjunction to formulate a diagnosis and deliver the most appropriate therapy if needed.2 Be aware that haematology is a distinct subspecialty of internal medicine, separate from but overlapping with the subspecialty of medical oncology. Haematologists may specialise further or have special interests, for example in:bleeding disorders such as haemophilia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpurahaematological malignacies such as lymphoma and leukemia (onco haematology)haemoglobinopathiesthe science of blood transfusion and the work of a blood bankbone marrow and stem cell transplantation3 Learn about the blood diseases that affect the production and functions of blood and its components, such as blood cells, hemoglobin, blood proteins, the mechanism of coagulation, etc."

[ 1] Agonists of the melatonin receptor have a number of therapeutic applications including treatment of sleep disorders and depression. The discovery and development of melatonin receptor agonists was motivated by the need for more potent analogues than melatonin, with better pharmacokinetics and longer half-life. Melatonin receptor agonists were developed with the melatonin structure as a model. [ 1]The melatonin receptors are G protein-coupled receptors and are expressed in various tissues of the body. There are two subtypes of the receptor in humans, melatonin receptor 1 (MT 1) and melatonin receptor 2 (MT 2 ). [ 2] Melatonin and melatonin receptor agonists, on market or in clinical trials, all bind to and activate both receptor types. [ 1] The binding of the agonists to the receptors has been investigated since 1986, yet is still not fully understood. [ 1] [3] [4] When melatonin receptor agonists bind to and activate their receptors it causes numerous physiological processes. ["

A hospital medicine provider is a primary care physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant who gives care to individuals while they are in the hospital. While on duty, their time is devoted solely to caring for hospitalized patients. Affinity Clinic’s goal is to offer high quality evidence-based inpatient care that is compassionate and tailored to the unique needs of individual patients. Primary care physicians on the TRMC medical staff, such as family physicians and internists, have the option to admit their own patients for inpatient care or they can utilize the hospital medicine program. Hospital medicine providers specialize in all aspects of a patient's care--from admission through discharge. Hospital medicine providers manage and coordinate the entire inpatient episode of care. They will keep a patient’s outpatient primary care physician informed of progress while that patient is in the hospital. With a policy of seamless communication, Affinity Clinic seeks to develop a true partnership in the care of the hospitalized patient between patients, family members, referring primary care physicians, attending specialists and support staff.

Polyclonal response by B cells against linear epitopes [1]Examples of substances recognized as foreign (non-self)Polyclonal B cell response is a natural mode of immune response exhibited by the adaptive immune system of mammals. It ensures that a single antigen is recognized and attacked through its overlapping parts, called epitopes, by multiple clones of B cell. [ 1] [2]In the course of normal immune response, parts of pathogens (e.g. bacteria) are recognized by the immune system as foreign (non-self), and eliminated or effectively neutralized to reduce their potential damage. Such a recognizable substance is called an antigen. The immune system may respond in multiple ways to an antigen; a key feature of this response is the production of antibodies by B cells (or B lymphocytes) involving an arm of the immune system known as humoral immunity. The antibodies are soluble and do not require direct cell-to-cell contact between the pathogen and the B-cell to function. Antigens can be large and complex substances, and any single antibody can only bind to a small, specific area on the antigen. Consequently, an effective immune response often involves the production of many different antibodies by many different B cells against the same antigen. Hence the term \"\"polyclonal\"\", which derives from the words poly, meaning many, and clones (\"\"Klon\"\"=Greek for sprout or twig); [3] [4] [5] a clone is a group of cells arising from a common \"\"mother\"\" cell."

Originally published in Journal of Drug Education and Awareness, 2003; 1:79-98. Erowid Note: The following was written as an undergraduate senior research project. Introduction and History: # Ibogaine is a naturally occurring indole alkaloid, found in a variety of African shrubs of the Tabernanthe genus (Obach, Pablo, and Mash, 1998). The root of the Tabernanthe iboga plant (also known as eboga) is the most frequently cited source of ibogaine, and this plant contains 11 other known psychoactive constituents (Popik, and Skolnick, 1999). Chemically, ibogaine is classified as a tryptamine, being a rigid analogue of melatonin, and is structurally similar to harmaline, another natural alkaloid and psychedelic (Xu et al., 2000). Ibogaine was first extracted from the Tabernanthe iboga root in 1901 by Dybowsky and Landrin (Goutarel, Gollnhofer, and Sillans, 1993). It can also be synthesized from nicotinamide by way of a 13 or 14 step process, although extraction from the iboga root is a simpler method for obtaining the compound (Shulgin and Shulgin, 1997). At low doses, ibogaine exerts primarily a stimulant effect, increasing alertness and reducing fatigue, hunger, and thirst (Rezavani, Overstreet, and Lee, 1995), though not in the manner of stereotypical CNS stimulants, such as amphetamine or cocaine (Da Costa, Sulklaper, and Naquet, 1908)."

The Gibbs free energy (ΔGº = ΔHº-TΔSº) ( J in SI units) is the maximum amount of non-expansion work that can be extracted from a thermodynamically closed system (one that can exchange heat and work with its surroundings, but not matter); this maximum can be attained only in a completely reversible process. When a system transforms reversibly from an initial state to a final state, the decrease in Gibbs free energy equals the work done by the system to its surroundings, minus the work of the pressure forces. [ 2]The Gibbs energy (also referred to as G) is also the thermodynamic potential that is minimized when a system reaches chemical equilibrium at constant pressure and temperature. Its derivative with respect to the reaction coordinate of the system vanishes at the equilibrium point. As such, a reduction in G is a necessary condition for the spontaneity of processes at constant pressure and temperature. The Gibbs free energy, originally called available energy, was developed in the 1870s by the American scientist Josiah Willard Gibbs. In 1873, Gibbs described this \"\"available energy\"\" asthe greatest amount of mechanical work which can be obtained from a given quantity of a certain substance in a given initial state, without increasing its total volume or allowing heat to pass to or from external bodies, except such as at the close of the processes are left in their initial condition. [ 3]The initial state of the body, according to Gibbs, is supposed to be such that \"\"the body can be made to pass from it to states of dissipated energy by reversible processes \"\". In his 1876 magnum opus On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances, a graphical analysis of multi-phase chemical systems, he engaged his thoughts on chemical free energy in full."

"text": "Cannabidiol ( CBD), a non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant, has generated significant interest among scientists and physicians in recent years—but how CBD exerts its therapeutic impact on a molecular level is still being sorted out by scientists. Cannabidiol is a pleiotropic drug in that it produces many effects through multiple molecular pathways. Although CBD has little binding affinity for either of the two cannabinoid receptors ( CB1 and CB2 ), cannabidiol activates several non-cannabinoid receptors and ion channels. CBD also acts through various receptor-independent channels—for example, by delaying the “reuptake” of endogenous neurotransmitters (such as anandamide and adenosine) and by enhancing or inhibiting the binding action of certain G-coupled protein receptors. Here are some of the ways that CBD confers its manifold therapeutic effects. Serotonin Receptors Jose Alexandre Crippa and his colleagues at the University of San Paulo in Brazil and King’s College in London have conducted pioneering research into CBD and the neural correlates of anxiety. At high concentrations, CBD directly activates the 5- HT1A (hydroxytryptamine) serotonin receptor, thereby conferring an anti-anxiety effect. This G-coupled protein receptor is implicated in a range of biological and neurological processes, including (but not limited to) anxiety, addiction, appetite, sleep, pain perception, nausea and vomiting.5- HT1A is a member of the family of 5- HT receptors, which are activated by the neurotransmitter serotonin. Found in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, 5- HT receptors trigger various intracellular cascades of chemical messages to produce either an excitatory or inhibitory response, depending on the chemical context of the message. CBDA [Cannabidiolic acid], the raw, unheated version of CBD that is present in the cannabis plant, also has a strong affinity for the 5- HT1A receptor (even more so than CBD )."

We discuss how changes in the scaffold structure can change biological and pharmacological activities. Finally, recent efforts to design and synthesize novel multivalent ligands that act as mu and delta opioid receptors and NK-1 receptors are discussed. Pain is a symptom accompanying most all diseases and different analgesics have been used to relieve pain.

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."

Secondary polycythemia would more accurately be called secondary erythrocytosis or erythrocythemia, as those terms specifically denote increased red blood cells. The term polycythemia is used appropriately in the myeloproliferative disorder called polycythemia vera, in which there are elevated levels of all three peripheral blood cell lines—RBCs, white blood cells, and platelets. [ 1, 2]Secondary polycythemia most often develops as a response to chronic hypoxemia, which triggers increased production of erythropoietin by the kidneys. The most common causes of secondary polycythemia include obstructive sleep apnea, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [ 3] Other causes testosterone replacement therapy [4] and heavy cigarette smoking. Erythropoietin-secreting tumors (eg, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, adrenal adenoma) cause some cases. Secondary polycythemia must be differentiated from primary polycythemia and relative polycythemia (in which RBC numbers are normal but plasma volume is contracted. The reduction in plasma volume may be due to dehydration or to reduced venous compliance; the latter is also termed stress polycythemia or Gaisböck syndrome, and is typically seen in obese middle-aged men who are receiving a diuretic for treatment of hypertension.

Its name is derived from its binding specificity for a part of an antibody known as the Fc (Fragment, crystallizable) region. Fc receptors bind to antibodies that are attached to infected cells or invading pathogens. Their activity stimulates phagocytic or cytotoxic cells to destroy microbes, or infected cells by antibody-mediated phagocytosis or antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Some viruses such as flaviviruses use Fc receptors to help them infect cells, by a mechanism known as antibody-dependent enhancement of infection.

The Latin letter used to identify a type of antibody is converted into the corresponding Greek letter, which is placed after the 'Fc' part of the name. For example, those that bind the most common class of antibody, Ig G, are called Fc-gamma receptors (FcγR), those that bind Ig A are called Fc-alpha receptors (FcαR) and those that bind Ig E are called Fc-epsilon receptors (FcεR). The classes of Fc R's are also distinguished by the cells that express them (macrophages, granulocytes, natural killer cells, T and B cells) and the signalling properties of each receptor. [ 2]Fc-gamma receptors [ edit]All of the Fcγ receptors (FcγR) belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily and are the most important Fc receptors for inducing phagocytosis of opsonized (marked) microbes.

The genetic history of indigenous peoples of the Americas primarily focuses on Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups and Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroups.

[ 3] [4] The former is the determinant factor for the number of gene lineages, zygosity mutations and founding haplotypes present in today's Indigenous Amerindian populations. [ 5]Analyses of genetics among Amerindian and Siberian populations have been used to argue for early isolation of founding populations on Beringia [6] and for later, more rapid migration from Siberia through Beringia into the New World. [ 7] The microsatellite diversity and distributions of the Y lineage specific to South America indicates that certain Amerindian populations have been isolated since the initial colonization of the region.

When Web-based business applications communicate with each other, producer applications enqueue messages and consumer applications dequeue messages. Advanced Queuing provides database-integrated message queuing functionality. Advanced Queuing leverages the functions of the Oracle database so that messages can be stored persistently, propagated between queues on different machines and databases, and transmitted using Oracle Net Services, HTTP (S), and SMTP. Since Oracle Advanced Queuing is implemented in database tables, all the operational benefits of high availability, scalability, and reliability are applicable to queue data. Standard database features such as recovery, restart, and security are supported in Advanced Queuing, and queue tables can be imported and exported.

"text": "\"by Thomas W. Burger Abstract By exploiting Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology, programmers can produce significant performance improvements to applications. This article explains what Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) is, how it works and the benefits obtained by using it. It then goes on to show examples of code that utilizes Hyper-Threading Technology in C++, C and/or FORTRAN. In addition, code to detect the support of Hyper-Threading Technology will be provided. The Concept of Hyper-Threading Hyper-Threading Technology has been in development by Intel for more than 4 years. Hyper-Threading is a more efficient way to use processing power of a CPU. Processor components are always idle at some point in the code execution. In the past improving processor performance consisted primarily of increasing the clock speed, enlarging the cache, reducing the size of the chip or simply developing MPU systems and adding more processors. Intel has developed Hyper-Threading Technology to allow application performance gains without the need of hardware changes or adding more processors. Hyper-Threading, also referred to as simultaneous multithreading (SMT), allows different threads to run simultaneously on different execution units within one physical processor."

Posted on April 29, 2008 | 50 Comments The Bantu expansion The Bantu are thought to have originated from the the area of Nigeria/Cameroon, and started their expansion East and South about 5,000 years ago (3,000 BC). They reached the equatorial rain forest 3500 years ago, entering what is now Uganda, 3000 years ago. It is people of this ancestry that comprised the bulk of the slaves transported across the Atlantic, and most black Americans can trace their ancestry to West and West-central Africa. Bantu farming The success of the Bantu was to do with farming. In a pattern repeated the world over throughout history, the farming people expand relatively quickly into lands occupied by hunter gatherers, displacing them, and absorbing a small number of them into their population. Prior to 3000 BC the population of sub Saharan Africa looked like the Khoisan people. The Bantu underwent a recent, massive, population explosion and are now numerically superior. If you went back in time 5,000 years, they would only be a few hundred thousand Bantu people learning to farm on the Western side of Africa. Bantu speakers w number about 60 million, and most of of sub Saharan Africa now speaks some version of the Niger-Congo language family."

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."

Specifically, a small-world network is defined to be a network where the typical distance L between two randomly chosen nodes (the number of steps required) grows proportionally to the logarithm of the number of nodes N in the network, that is: [1]while the clustering coefficient is not small. In the context of a social network, this results in the small world phenomenon of strangers being linked by a short chain of acquaintances. Many empirical graphs show the small-world effect, e.g., social networks, forms the underlying architecture of the Internet, wikis such as Wikipedia, and gene networks. A certain category of small-world networks were identified as a class of random graphs by Duncan Watts and Steven Strogatz in 1998. [ 2] They noted that graphs could be classified according to two independent structural features, namely the clustering coefficient, and average node-to-node distance (also known as average shortest path length). Purely random graphs, built according to the Erdős–Rényi (ER) model, exhibit a small average shortest path length (varying typically as the logarithm of the number of nodes) along with a small clustering coefficient. Watts and Strogatz measured that in fact many real-world networks have a small average shortest path length, but also a clustering coefficient significantly higher than expected by random chance."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about algebraic varieties. For the term \"\"variety of algebras\"\", see Variety (universal algebra). The twisted cubic is a projective algebraic variety. Algebraic varieties are the central objects of study in algebraic geometry. Classically, an algebraic variety is defined as the set of solutions of a system of polynomial equations over the real or complex numbers. Modern definitions generalize this concept in several different ways, while attempting to preserve the geometric intuition behind the original definition. [ 1]: 58Conventions regarding the definition of an algebraic variety differ slightly. For example, some definitions require an algebraic variety to be irreducible, which means that it is not the union of two smaller sets that are closed in the Zariski topology. Under this definition, non-irreducible algebraic varieties are called algebraic sets. Other conventions do not require irreducibility."

[ 1] Load balancing aims to optimize resource use, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload of any single resource. Using multiple components with load balancing instead of a single component may increase reliability and availability through redundancy. Load balancing usually involves dedicated software or hardware, such as a multilayer switch or a Domain Name System server process. Load balancing differs from channel bonding in that load balancing divides traffic between network interfaces on a network socket ( OSI model layer 4) basis, while channel bonding implies a division of traffic between physical interfaces at a lower level, either per packet ( OSI model Layer 3) or on a data link ( OSI model Layer 2) basis with a protocol like shortest path bridging.

Davis, August 12, 2010 (sent for review March 20, 2010)Next Section Abstract The activation of T lymphocytes (T cells) requires signaling through the T-cell receptor (TCR). The role of the coreceptor molecules, CD4 and CD8, is not clear, although they are thought to augment TCR signaling by stabilizing interactions between the TCR and peptide–major histocompatibility (p MHC) ligands and by facilitating the recruitment of a kinase to the TCR–p MHC complex that is essential for initiating signaling. Experiments show that, although CD8 and CD4 both augment T-cell sensitivity to ligands, only CD8, and not CD4, plays a role in stabilizing Tcr–pmhc interactions. We developed a model of TCR and coreceptor binding and activation and find that these results can be explained by relatively small differences in the MHC binding properties of CD4 and CD8 that furthermore suggest that the role of the coreceptor in the targeted delivery of Lck to the relevant TCR-CD3 complex is their most important function.computationcoreceptors T-cell activationstochastic processdiffusion Membrane proteins CD4 and CD8 are expressed on T helper cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, respectively, that are known to augment the sensitivity and response of T cells to cognate peptide–major histocompatibility (p MHC) ligands ( 1 – 3 ). It is generally thought that the ability of these coreceptors to enhance T-cell responses is due to two main effects: ( i) Binding of CD4 and CD8 to MHC class II and class I molecules helps stabilize weak T-cell receptor (TCR)-p MHC interactions; and ( ii) the Src kinase, Lck, which is bound to the cytoplasmic tail of coreceptors, is efficiently recruited to the TCR complex upon coreceptor binding to the MHC, thereby enhancing the initiation of TCR signaling ( 3, 4 ). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analyses show that the half-lives characterizing coreceptor–MHC interactions are <35 ms (off rate >20 s −1, the resolution of SPR instruments) for both CD4 and CD8 ( 5 – 7 ). It is difficult to understand how the two effects noted above can be potentiated by such fleeting interactions. For example, consider the effect of coreceptor–MHC interactions in stabilizing the TCR-p MHC complex."

Four points are marked and labeled with their coordinates: (2, 3) in green, (−3, 1) in red, (−1.5, −2.5) in blue, and the origin (0, 0) in purple. A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length. Each reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis (plural axes) of the system, and the point where they meet is its origin, at ordered pair (0, 0). The coordinates can also be defined as the positions of the perpendicular projections of the point onto the two axes, expressed as signed distances from the origin. One can use the same principle to specify the position of any point in three- dimensional space by three Cartesian coordinates, its signed distances to three mutually perpendicular planes (or, equivalently, by its perpendicular projection onto three mutually perpendicular lines). In general, n Cartesian coordinates (an element of real n -space) specify the point in an n -dimensional Euclidean space for any dimension n. These coordinates are equal, up to sign, to distances from the point to n mutually perpendicular hyperplanes."

These forces contribute in varying degrees to proteins binding in a sequence-specific or non–sequence-specific manner. Understanding how proteins interact with DNA, determining what proteins are present in these protein–DNA complexes, and identifying the nucleic acid sequence (and possible structure) required to assemble these complexes are vital to understanding the role these complexes play in regulating cellular processes. A number of laboratory techniques have been developed to study the complex interactions of proteins with DNA, each with a unique history, varying utility, and distinct strengths and weaknesses.

The Ch IP assay method allows analysis of DNA–protein interactions in living cells by treating the cells with formaldehyde or other crosslinking reagents in order to stabilize the interactions for downstream purification and detection. Performing Ch IP assays requires knowledge of the target protein and DNA sequence that will be analyzed, as researchers must provide an antibody against the protein of interest and PCR primers for the DNA sequence of interest. The antibody is used to selectively precipitate the protein–DNA complex from the other genomic DNA fragments and protein–DNA complexes. The PCR primers allow specific amplification and detection of the target DNA sequence. Quantitative PCR (q PCR) technique allows the amount of target DNA sequence to be quantified."

Introduction to Transcription Imagine you have been given a string approximately 2 meters long, which represents an unwound, deproteinated, human chromosome. In actuality, such naked DNA does not exist in the cell nucleus. Rather, it is wound around a series of positively charged histone proteins. In the electron microscope it resembles beads on a string. This structure is wound into a cylindrical \"\"solenoid\"\" structure which is further packaged to fit into the nucleus along with the rest of the chromosomes. There just happens to be a small dot in the dead center of the string you have been given. It represents the gene for a particular protein called metallothionein.

"text": "\"Coordinate Transformations vs. Projecting-on-the-fly vs. Reprojecting Print The phrase geographic coordinate transformations refers to the conversion of data from one datum to another. Many GIS software packages have the ability to convert data from one datum to another. However, you may find yourself in a situation where the software conversions that are readily available will not solve your datum conversion problem. For example, the transformation you want to perform may not be a standard option, or you may not know what datum your data are in (this is of course necessary for choosing the correct transformation). In a pinch like this, it is still possible to convert your dataset from one datum to another by using what is known as an affine transformation. You may have first come in contact with the affine transformation in the context of georeferencing scanned or tablet digitized data. Strictly speaking the affine transformation is NOT a datum transformation. The affine transformation includes three types of operations: translation, rotation and scaling of one datum to produce a match to a second datum (see Figure 7.cg.8, below). In order to successfully convert your dataset, you will also need to know the locations of at least three points (preferably more) in both coordinate systems. The more points you have, and the more equally distributed the points are across your area of interest, the better the transformation will be (i.e., you will be less likely to introduce positional error into your dataset by performing the transformation)."

By: Kristina Buschur Contents [ hide ]1 Introduction2 Comparison of Tetracycline and Tigecycline Ribosome Binding3 Antibacterial Activity of Tigecycline4 Tigecycline Resistance Mechanisms5 Conclusion6 References Introduction The ability of bacteria to quickly develop resistance to commonly used antibiotics is a huge hurdle in the path of disease treatment. Because of this, there is an ever-present need to develop new antibiotics that use novel mechanisms to overcome multidrug-resistance and prevent microbial growth. Since tetracycline has been in wide use since the mid-1900s for treatment of many human and animal infections and as growth promoters in agriculture, many bacteria have since developed sophisticated mechanisms to prevent the harmful effects of the antibiotic (Greer 2006). Specifically, tetracycline-speicific efflux pumps and ribosomal protection proteins are commonly employed by bacteria. The glycylcycline class of antibiotics is a powerful tool that has been recently developed to combat this problem. Developed by Lederle Laboratories (now American Home Products) in the early 1990s and derived from tetracycline, glycylcyclines have added substituents that interfere with the mechanisms bacteria employ to resist tetracycline, including both the efflux pumps and ribosomal protection proteins (Chopra 2002).

Informally, a blob is a region of an image in which some properties are constant or approximately constant; all the points in a blob can be considered in some sense to be similar to each other. The most common method for blob detection is convolution. Given some property of interest expressed as a function of position on the image, there are two main classes of blob detectors: (i) differential methods, which are based on derivatives of the function with respect to position, and (ii) methods based on local extrema, which are based on finding the local maxima and minima of the function. With the more recent terminology used in the field, these detectors can also be referred to as interest point operators, or alternatively interest region operators (see also interest point detection and corner detection ). There are several motivations for studying and developing blob detectors. One main reason is to provide complementary information about regions, which is not obtained from edge detectors or corner detectors. In early work in the area, blob detection was used to obtain regions of interest for further processing."

Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Affine geometry In mathematics, affine geometry is the study of parallel lines. Its use of Playfair's axiom is fundamental since comparative measures of angle size are foreign to affine geometry so that Euclid's parallel postulate is beyond the scope of pure affine geometry. In affine geometry, the relation of parallelism may be adapted so as to be an equivalence relation. Comparisons of figures in affine geometry are made with affinities, which are mappings comprising the affine group A. Since A lies between the Euclidean group E and the group of projectivities P, affine geometry is sometimes mentioned in connection with the Erlangen program, which is concerned with group inclusions such as E ⊂ A ⊂ P. Affine geometry can be developed on the basis of linear algebra. One can define an affine space as a set of points equipped with a set of transformations, the translations, which forms a vector space, and such that for any given ordered pair of points there is a unique translation sending the first point to the second. In more concrete terms, this amounts to having an operation that associates to any two points a vector and another operation that allows translation of a point by a vector to give another point; these operations are required to satisfy a number of axioms. By choosing any point as \"\"origin\"\", the points are in one-to-one correspondence with the vectors, but there is no preferred choice for the origin; thus this approach can be characterized as obtaining the affine space from its associated vector space by \"\"forgetting\"\" the origin.

It was first described in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER, a network of interconnected membranes within the cell cytoplasm ). Since its discovery, it has been identified in many other cellular structures like the cytoplasm, the cell membrane, and the extracellular matrix (a protein scaffold found between cells). Among its many functions, calreticulin is involved with maintaining adequate calcium levels in organisms. It also functions as a chaperone to help other proteins fold correctly."

This forms a group, because the product of two invertible matrices is again invertible, and the inverse of an invertible matrix is invertible. The group is so named because the columns of an invertible matrix are linearly independent, hence the vectors/points they define are in general linear position, and matrices in the general linear group take points in general linear position to points in general linear position. To be more precise, it is necessary to specify what kind of objects may appear in the entries of the matrix. For example, the general linear group over R (the set of real numbers) is the group of n × n invertible matrices of real numbers, and is denoted by GL n ( R) or GL ( n, R). More generally, the general linear group of degree n over any field F (such as the complex numbers ), or a ring R (such as the ring of integers ), is the set of n × n invertible matrices with entries from F (or R ), again with matrix multiplication as the group operation. [ 1] Typical notation is GL n ( F) or GL ( n, F), or simply GL ( n) if the field is understood. More generally still, the general linear group of a vector space GL ( V) is the abstract automorphism group, not necessarily written as matrices. The special linear group, written SL ( n, F) or SL n ( F ), is the subgroup of GL ( n, F) consisting of matrices with a determinant of 1. The group GL ( n, F) and its subgroups are often called linear groups or matrix groups (the abstract group GL ( V) is a linear group but not a matrix group)."

Henry Jakubowski Exquisite mechanisms have evolved that control the flux of metabolites through metabolic pathways to insure that the output of the pathways meets biological demand and that energy in the form of ATP is not wasted by having opposing pathways run concomitantly in the same cell. Enzymes can be regulated by changing the activity of a preexisting enzyme or changing the amount of an enzyme. A. Changing the activity of a pre-existing enzyme : The quickest way to modulate the activity of an enzyme is to alter the activity of an enzyme that already exists in the cell. The list below, illustrated in the following figure, gives common ways to regulate enzyme activity Substrate availability : Substrates (reactants) bind to enzymes with a characteristic affinity (characterized by a dissociation constant) and a kinetic parameter called Km (units of molarity). If the actual concentration of a substrate in a cell is much less than the Km, the activity of the enzyme is very low. If the substrate concentration is much greater than Km, the enzyme active site is saturated with substrate and the enzyme is maximally active. Product inhibition : A product of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction often resembles a starting reactant, so it should be clear that the product should also bind to the activity site, albeit probably with lower affinity. Under conditions in which the product of a reaction is present in high concentration, it would be energetically advantageous to the cell if no more product was synthesized."

Ayurveda offers a unique understanding of this process. From the moment you eat a meal, the process of Ayurvedic nutrition takes a full 35 days to complete. At each step in the process a new tissue is nourished. At the end of the 35 days, food nourishes your general health and wellness as ojas is produced. Ojas means strength or vigor. It is the final and most refined by-product of digestion & nutrition, and it supports and maintains your overall heartiness. There are two conclusions you can draw from this process: One, that it takes 35 days before food increases your general strength and resilience. Two, it means that the food you ate one month ago is still affecting your body today. Given these facts, it's especially important you know the right foods to nourish your tissues down the road."

The concept of motivational interviewing evolved from experience in the treatment of problem drinkers, and was first described by Miller (1983) in an article published in Behavioural Psychotherapy. Miller and Rollnick later elaborated on these fundamental concepts and approaches in 1991, in a more detailed description of clinical procedures. Motivational interviewing is a directive, client-centered counselling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence. It is most centrally defined not by technique but by its spirit as a facilitative style for interpersonal relationship. [ 1]MI is a goal-oriented, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence. Compared with non-directive counseling, it's more focused and goal-directed. It departs from traditional Rogerian client-centered therapy through this use of direction, in which therapists attempt to influence clients to consider making changes, rather than non-directively explore themselves. [ 2] The examination and resolution of ambivalence is a central purpose, and the counselor is intentionally directive in pursuing this goal.

Needless to say, the notion of having to “pass” as white is outdated and offensive, but as sociologists Nikki Khanna and Cathryn Johnson report in a new study, passing is still alive and well today. It just happens in the other direction. For their study, Khanna and Johnson interviewed 40 biracial American adults about their racial identity, and were surprised by what they found: most people tended to suppress or reject their white ancestry altogether and claim to be entirely African American. It wasn’t simply about calling oneself black, but also aggressively changing one’s behavior, looks and tastes to appear more “black.” ( More on Time.com: Who’s White? Who’s Black? Who Knows? ) In the segregated landscape of the late 1800s and early 1900s, the “one-drop” rule labeled as black any person who had mixed blood. Those with more white ancestry than black, and who therefore looked whiter, were the ones who tended to pass."

[ 2] Darity and Mason [1998] summarize that the standard approach used in identifying employment discrimination is to isolate group productivity differences ( education, work experience). Differences in outcomes (such as earnings, job placement) that cannot be attributed to worker qualifications are attributed to discriminatory treatment. [ 3]In the non-neoclassical view, discrimination is the main source of inequality in the labor market and is seen in the persistent gender and racial earnings disparity in the U. S. [3] Non-neoclassical economists define discrimination more broadly than neoclassical economists. For example, the feminist economist Deborah Figart [1997] defines labor market discrimination as “a multi-dimensional interaction of economic, social, political, and cultural forces in both the workplace and the family, resulting in different outcomes involving pay, employment, and status”. [ 4] That is, discrimination is not only about measurable outcomes but also about unquantifiable consequences."

This Article offers an account of the grounds for the criminalization of attempt that provides the courts with sorely needed substantive guidance about precisely which kinds of behavior constitute a criminal attempt. The Article focuses on three well-known problems in the adjudication of attempt that have been particularly baffling both to courts and to commentators: specifying the line between solicitation and attempt; determining the conditions under which an “impossible” attempt is still criminal; and identifying the relevance of abandonment to responsibility for and sentencing of attempts.

Guthrie Using Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction (CORI) or practices to encourage engagement, educators can advance the breadth and depth of students' reading by explicitly and systematically nourishing students' motivations as readers. Introduction Almost all agree that some amount of reading is vital to becoming a good reader. Expertise does not arise without active participation. Some educators would advocate that the best way to become a proficient reader is by reading widely and frequently. But other educators suggest that gaining proficiency may not be so simple for many students who may need more contextual support. Contextual support is extremely valuable for gaining reading proficiency, but we are suggesting that, while explicit instruction and appropriate texts are valuable, an often overlooked factor is motivational support. We propose that when the classroom encourages the powerful motivations for reading, students acquire proficiency steadily and predictably. Intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation When students read a passage or a book, they usually have a reason for doing it. Likewise when they avoid reading a text that they may be expected to read, they usually have a reason for their resistance. The most prominent reason for recreational reading is \"\"I enjoy it.\"\""

He is best known for his explorations of children's lives and books that explore their moral, political, and spiritual sensibilities. He is also known as an eloquent spokesman for voluntary and community service — the subject of his book, A Call to Service. In addition, he has written literary criticism, numerous biographies, reviews, poetry, social commentary, several children's books, and regular columns for the New Republic, New Oxford Review, and American Poetry Review. Robert Coles Coles describes himself variously as a doctor, child psychiatrist, oral historian, social anthropologist, teacher, friend, storyteller, busybody, and nuisance. Interviewers, journalists, and reviewers often seize on the apparent contradictions — he is a physician without a conventional practice who teaches college literature; a psychiatrist who rejects much of the language of his field; and a Harvard academic who spends much of his time volunteering in ghetto schools. Coles's refusal to be pigeonholed professionally, along with the wide scope of his work, make considerable demands on the reader of his books. Simply finding the threads of continuity in his life and work is no easy task, but it is made all the more difficult by the nature of his narrative style. Most of his books, including the acclaimed five-volume Children of Crisis series and the subsequent three-volume The Inner Life of Children series, are based on a method of long-term direct observation, expressed in extended narratives around which he offers practically no organized commentary or interpretation. Coles's technique is to get to know children, students, volunteer workers, etc.,"

"text": "Humanism is a progressive lifestance that, without theism or other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead meaningful, ethical lives capable of adding to the greater good of humanity. – American Humanist Association Humanism is a rational philosophy informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by compassion. Affirming the dignity of each human being, it supports the maximization of individual liberty and opportunity consonant with social and planetary responsibility. It advocates the extension of participatory democracy and the expansion of the open society, standing for human rights and social justice. Free of supernaturalism, it recognizes human beings as a part of nature and holds that values-be they religious, ethical, social, or political-have their source in human experience and culture. Humanism thus derives the goals of life from human need and interest rather than from theological or ideological abstractions, and asserts that humanity must take responsibility for its own destiny. – The Humanist Magazine Humanism is a democratic and ethical lifestance which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethics based on human and other natural values in a spirit of reason and free inquiry through human capabilities. It is not theistic, and it does not accept supernatural views of reality. – The International Humanist and Ethical Union Humanism is an approach to life based on reason and our common humanity, recognizing that moral values are properly founded on human nature and experience alone. –"

"title": "http://www.sicotests.com/psyarticle.asp?id=293\nSelf verification theory",
"text": "\"Self verification theory Dr. Simon Moss Overview Individuals sometimes receive feedback from a romantic parter that is more positive than is their own perception of themselves. Individuals might feel they are uncreative, but their partner might feel they are very creative. Surprisingly, individuals also feel an urge to withdraw from these partners& they instead gravitate towards anyone who offers feedback that confirms their own perception of themselves--as substantiated in many studies (e.g., Burke & Stets, 1999& De La Ronde & Swann, 1998& Murray, Holmes, Dolderman, & Griffin, 2000& Ritts & Stein, 1995& Schafer, Wickrama, & Keith, 1996& Swann, De La Ronde, & Hixon, 1994). Self verification can explain this interesting observation--as well as many other key findings. Many studies, for example, have examined whether diverse workgroups flourish or flounder. These diverse groups tend to flourish, provided that individuals feel that other members understand their qualities and thus confirm their perception of themselves (Swann, Kwan, Polzer, & Milton, 2003). That is, individuals feel more connected to any collective that seems to verify these perceptions (London, 2003& Polzer, Milton, & Swann, 2002& Swann, Milton, & Polzer, 2000& Swann, Polzer, Seyle, & Ko, 2004). To explain these findings, self verification theory assumes that individuals construct an identity of themselves--their perception of their roles, reputation, qualities, behaviors, and values, for example. This identity affords individuals with a sense of certainty and composure as well as guides their choices and actions. Accordingly, individuals strive to maintain these identities, attempt to avert sources of feedback that challenge these perceptions of themselves."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Discriminate)navigation search\"\"Othering\"\" redirects here. For the concept in phenomenology, see Other. This article is about the prejudicial treatment. For other uses, see Discrimination (disambiguation). Part of a series on Discrimination General forms [show]Specific forms Social [show]Manifestations [show]Policies [show]Countermeasures [show]Related topics [show]Discrimination portalv t e In human social affairs, discrimination is treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person based on the group, class, or category to which the person is perceived to belong rather than on individual attributes. This includes treatment of an individual or group, based on their actual or perceived membership in a certain group or social category, \"\"in a way that is worse than the way people are usually treated\"\". [ 1] It involves the group's initial reaction or interaction going on to influence the individual's actual behavior towards the group leader or the group, restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to another group, leading to the exclusion of the individual or entities based on logical or irrational decision making. [ 2]Discriminatory traditions, policies, ideas, practices and laws exist in many countries and institutions in every part of the world, including in territories where discrimination is generally looked down upon. In some places, controversial attempts such as quotas have been used to benefit those who are believed to be current or past victims of discrimination—but they have sometimes been called reverse discrimination. In the US, a government policy known as affirmative action was instituted to encourage employers and universities to seek out and accept groups such as African Americans and women, who have been subject to discrimination for a long time.

"text": "Sooner or later, affirmative action will die a natural death. Its achievements have been stupendous, but if we look at the premises that underlie it, we find assumptions and priorities that look increasingly shopworn. Thirty years ago, affirmative action was invented on the basis of these five appropriate premises:1. Adult, white males make up something called the U. S. business mainstream.2. The U. S. economic edifice is a solid, unchanging institution with more than enough space for everyone.3. Women, blacks, immigrants, and other minorities should be allowed in as a matter of public policy and common decency.4. Widespread racial, ethnic, and sexual prejudice keeps them out.5. Legal and social coercion are necessary to bring about the change. Today all five of these premises need revising. Over the past six years, I have tried to help some 15 companies learn how to achieve and manage diversity, and I have seen that the realities facing us are no longer the realities affirmative action was designed to fix."

Contents [ hide ]1 Quotes1.1 I Am A Dancer (1952)1.2 New York Times interview (1985)2 Misattributed3 External links Quotes [ edit]Art is eternal, for it reveals the inner landscape, which is the soul of man.

This is the function of the American dance. \"\" The American Dance\"\", in Modern Dance, ed. Virginia Stewart (1945). There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.

"title": "http://www.iep.utm.edu/deconst/\nDeconstruction",
"text": "Deconstruction Although deconstruction has roots in Martin Heidegger ’s concept of Destruktion, to deconstruct is not to destroy. Deconstruction is always a double movement of simultaneous affirmation and undoing. It started out as a way of reading the history of metaphysics in Heidegger and Jacques Derrida, but was soon applied to the interpretation of literary, religious, and legal texts as well as philosophical ones, and was adopted by several French feminist theorists as a way of making clearer the deep male bias embedded in the European intellectual tradition. To deconstruct is to take a text apart along the structural “fault lines” created by the ambiguities inherent in one or more of its key concepts or themes in order to reveal the equivocations or contradictions that make the text possible. For example, in “Plato’s Pharmacy,” Derrida deconstructs Socrates’ criticism of the written word, arguing that it not only suffers from internal inconsistencies because of the analogy Socrates himself makes between memory and writing, but also stands in stark contrast to the fact that his ideas come to us only through the written word he disparaged (D 61-171). The double movement here is one of tracing this tension in Plato’s text, and in the traditional reading of that text, while at the same time acknowledging the fundamental ways in which our understanding of the world is dependent on Socrates’ attitude toward the written word. Derrida points out similar contradictions in philosophical discussions of a preface (by G. W. F. Hegel, D 1-69) and a picture frame (by Immanuel Kant, TP 17-147), which are simultaneously inside and outside the respective works under consideration. Since the distinction between what is inside the text (or painting) and what is outside can itself be deconstructed according to the same principles, deconstruction is, like Destruktion, an historicizing movement that opens texts to the conditions of their production, their con-text in a very broad sense, including not only the historical circumstances and tradition from which they arose, but also the conventions and nuances of the language in which they were written and the details of their authors’ lives. This generates an effectively infinite complexity in texts that makes any deconstructive reading necessarily partial and preliminary.

"text": "Print Affirmative Action Planning What is an Affirmative Action Plan? What is an AAP? As a condition of doing business with the U. S. Federal Government, companies meeting certain contract and employment levels must prepare, in accordance with U. S. federal regulations, an Affirmative Action Program (AAP). Fundamentally, an Affirmative Action Program is a management tool to ensure equal employment opportunity (EEO). A quick overview of an AAP based on the U. S. federal regulations is as follows: Affirmative action programs contain a number of quantitative analyses designed to evaluate the composition of a contractor's workforce as compared to the composition of the relevant labor pools. Affirmative action programs include action-oriented programs. If women and minorities are not being employed at an expected rate given their availability in the relevant labor pool, the contractor's affirmative action program will includes specific practical steps designed to address this underutilization. Effective affirmative action programs also include internal auditing and reporting systems as a means of measuring the contractor's progress toward achieving the workforce that would be expected in the absence of discrimination. In short, an AAP Includes the policies, practices and procedures that a U. S. federal contractor implements to ensure that all qualified applicants and employees receive an equal opportunity for recruitment, selection, advancement, and every other term and privilege associated with employment. AAPs must be developed for: Minorities and women ( 41 CFR 60-1 and 60-2)Special disabled veterans, Vietnam era veterans and other covered veterans ( 4 1CFR 60-250 )."

"text": "Affirmative Action Policy University of Nevada, Reno - Affirmative Action Policy Introduction The University of Nevada, Reno's Statement of Policy and Intent represents our commitment to equal employment and educational opportunity. In conformity with federal and state law and university policy we are guided by the principle that there shall be no difference in the treatment of individuals because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation. Equal opportunity and access to programs shall be available to all members of the university community, both students and employed personnel at every level, and to all units, facilities, and services of the university. In the employment of all personnel, the university recognizes that, as a public agency, it has a further commitment - it is obligated to support federal and state policies which seek to achieve equal opportunity in employment for members of underrepresented groups, women, individuals with disabilities, and Vietnam era and disabled veterans. As used in this document, underrepresented groups will include African-American, Hispanic, Asian, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaskan Native. Two important concepts are embodied in equal employment opportunity: Nondiscrimination Affirmative Action Affirmative action requires more than employment neutrality. It requires the University of Nevada to make additional efforts to recruit, employ, retain, and promote qualified women, members of underrepresented groups, individuals with disabilities, and Vietnam era and disabled veterans. The affirmative action concept requires positive action to insure against perpetuation of benign neutrality in employment practices. Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance with Laws Through the policies and programs set forth in the Affirmative Action Plan, the university undertakes to comply fully with all federal, state, and local laws relating to educational opportunity, equal employment opportunity, and affirmative action. Responsibility for Implementation Through the policies and programs set forth in the Affirmative Action Plan, the university undertakes to comply fully with all federal, state, and local laws relating to educational opportunity, equal employment opportunity, and affirmative action."

"text": "An Affirmative Action plan or program is a management tool designed to ensure equal employment opportunity. A central premise underlying affirmative action is that, over time, absent discrimination, a contractor's workforce will generally reflect the gender, racial, and ethnic profile of the labor pools from which the contractor recruits and selects. Affirmative Action programs contain a diagnostic component which includes a number of quantitative analyses designed to evaluate the composition of the workforce of the contractor and compare it to the composition of the relevant labor pools. Affirmative Action programs also include action-oriented programs. If women and minorities are not being employed at a rate to be expected given their availability in the relevant labor pool, the contractor's affirmative action program includes specific practical steps designed to address this underutilization. Effective Affirmative Action programs also include internal auditing and reporting systems as a means of measuring the contractor's progress toward achieving the workforce that would be expected in the absence of discrimination. An Affirmative Action program also ensures equal employment opportunity by institutionalizing the contractor's commitment to equality in every aspect of the employment process. Therefore, as part of its Affirmative Action program, a contractor monitors and examines its employment decisions and compensation systems to evaluate the impact of those systems on women and minorities. An Affirmative Action program is, thus, more than a paperwork exercise. An Affirmative Action program includes those policies, practices, and procedures that the contractor implements to ensure that all qualified applicants and employees are receiving an equal opportunity for recruitment, selection, advancement, and every other term and privilege associated with employment."

"text": "The Supreme Court on Thursday reaffirmed that the value of creating a diverse student body allows university officials to consider race in making admission decisions, upholding a University of Texas plan that has been the subject of years of legal battles. The 4-to-3 decision was a surprising win for advocates of affirmative action, who had entered the term simply hoping the court would not use the case to ban all uses of affirmative action. Instead, the majority opinion written by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy reiterated previous high-court rulings that diversity justifies some intrusion on the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection, which generally forbids the government from making decisions based on race. [ Affirmative-action advocates thrilled — and surprised — by court ruling]“A university is in large part defined by those ‘intangible qualities which are incapable of objective measurement but which make for greatness,’ ” Kennedy wrote in an opinion joined by the court’s liberals.1:03Abigail Fisher: 'I don't believe that students should be treated differently based on their race'“Considerable deference is owed to a university in defining those intangible characteristics, like student body diversity, that are central to its identity and educational mission,” wrote Kennedy, who had never before voted in favor of a race-conscious plan. “ But still, it remains an enduring challenge to our Nation’s education system to reconcile the pursuit of diversity with the constitutional promise of equal treatment and dignity. ”Justin Driver, a law professor at the University of Chicago who closely followed the case during his previous tenure in Austin, said the decision “signals that affirmative action is safe not only at the University of Texas but around the country. ”He said UT’s policy had been perceived by legal experts to be especially vulnerable to challenges because it augmented a unique admissions plan — guaranteeing acceptance to the top students in each Texas high school — that on its own ensures diversity. “If even this program survives scrutiny, it is extraordinarily difficult to believe that the court will be prepared to strike down any university’s affirmative-action program anytime soon,” Driver said. Marisa Bono, a lawyer at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, described the decision as a “green light” for colleges to proceed with race-conscious admissions policies. “Today’s decision truly represents a clear and resounding message that UT and other institutions of higher education may consider race in the admissions process as long as they can show a very limited use of race that is narrowly tailored to achieve diversity,” she said."

If a plan were to have the U. S. send humanitarian aid to Sudan, then the actor would be the United States federal government. Many times, actors are subdivided into more specific \"\"agents\"\". The most common agents include the Supreme Court, the President (usually through the use of an Executive Order ), and Congress. Sometimes, the actors get smaller and devolve into Executive agencies. For example, on a previous high school debate topic—the use of renewable energy—the plan could use the Department of Energy. Sometimes the Negative will use a counterplan to solve for the harms of the affirmative and the most common method of doing so is by the use of an agent counterplan, which simply does the mandates of the Affirmative plan through the use of another agent. Sometimes, the Negative will even use another country. If the Affirmative plan were to send peacekeeping troops to Congo, then the Negative would have Bangladesh (or any other country), do it."

"text": "This piece first appeared on The Root. As the Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments this week in Fisher v. University of Texas, we can expect our country to descend into the now standard hand-wringing about affirmative action. But our conversations about Fisher, like those surrounding the Ricci v. De Stefano firefighter case four years ago and the Grutter v. Bollinger case nine years ago, will most likely avoid engaging the core questions that lie at the heart of whether and how affirmative action should be continued. The blame for the inadequate nature of our conversation about affirmative action must be shared by civil rights organizations and right-wing groups. In the late '70s and early '80s, when right-wing groups and the Reagan Justice Department were engaged in a full-frontal attack on affirmative action, civil rights organizations were hard at work fighting the toughest cases in the courts. What civil rights organizations were not doing was fighting the right on the terrain of America's hearts and minds. Of course, civil rights leaders thought that they had fought that battle already. The civil rights movement was not just a monumental legal and legislative victory over institutionalized racism in the United States; it was also—and perhaps more importantly—a moral victory over the idea of white supremacy. Forty years later, overt racism remains a social taboo, largely because of the shifted moral ground plowed by civil rights protesters, plantiffs, schoolchildren and iconic leaders, who compelled America to confront itself and shamed this country into living up to our country's rhetoric about freedom and equality. But it's now evident that during the late ’70s and ’80s we mistakenly abandoned the moral appeal to the heart of America."

In modern literature, the Scheduled Castes/Tribes are sometimes referred to as untouchables; in Tamil Nadu they are referred as Adi Dravida; and in other states mostly referred as scheduled castes. [ 3] [4]The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes comprise about 16.6% and 8.6%, respectively, of India's population (according to the 2011 census ). ["

"text": "Affirmative Action FAQs What is Affirmative Action? Affirmative action is a practice that must be taken by covered employers to identify conspicuous imbalances in their workforce and take positive steps to correct and prevent any underrepresentation of protected classes. It is an action to recruit and advance qualified minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and covered veterans. – SHRM and Department Of Labor Affirmative action comes from Executive Order 11246, as amended, which prohibits federal contractors and federally-assisted construction contractors and subcontractors, who do over $10,000 in government business in one year, from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Executive Order also requires government contractors to take affirmative action to ensure that equal opportunity is provided in all aspects of their employment, including recruitment, selection, appointment, promotion, training, and related employment areas. - Department Of Labor What is an Affirmative Action Program? An affirmative action program is a written management tool designed to ensure equal employment opportunity. Affirmative action programs contain a diagnostic component which includes a number of quantitative analyses designed to evaluate the composition of the workforce and compare it to the composition of the relevant labor pools. Affirmative action programs also include action-oriented goals. - Department Of Labor What is the purpose of an Affirmative Action Program?"

Under EEO law, disparate impact is defined as a less favorable effect on one group than for another. Disparate impact results when rules applied to all employees have a different or more inhibiting effect on members of a protected class. For example, height requirements for a particular job might have a disparate impact on women or other groups who are generally shorter in stature. Affirmative Employment. Positive steps taken by an employer which contribute toward greater employment opportunities for minorities, females and persons with disabilities. In federal employment, this may mean that that direct efforts be made to include qualified women, minorities, employees over 40, and persons with disabilities at grade levels and in job categories where they are under represented. Affirmative Employment Plans. Written plans for programs required by Executive Order 11478 and other laws and regulations. AEP's may contain studies which show how the work force at the activity has been used, and may include goals and timetables for increasing the representation of protected class members in those areas where they have been under represented."

"text": "\"Affirmative Action -- This term has two very different definitions! Never use this term without indicating the version you are using!Definition 1: Race-neutral, gender-neutral assurance against actual discrimination. This is the type of Affirmative Action contemplated by President Lyndon Johnson's Executive Order 11246, in which he sought to ensure that individuals have equal opportunity WITHOUT regard to their race, sex, or ethnicity. In this 1965 Executive Order, President Johnson consistently and repeatedly used the term non-discrimination and never once mentioned racial quotas or preferences. The original, unamended version of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 similarly emphasized race-neutrality and non-discrimination. Main Defini- tions More Options Definition 2: Racial-preferences and gender-preferences for the correct races and genders. Under this defintion, Affirmative Action is comprised of programs and policies that grant favorable treatment on the basis of race or gender to government-defined \"\"disadvantaged\"\" individuals . Under this definition, racial or gender preference must be granted even when the favored / aggrieved minority or gender has no actual evidence or proof that a company, boss, individual, or government agency has discriminated against them due to their race or gender. Definition 2 is based upon the Constitutionally dubious notion of proportional representation based upon skin color or gender in all occupations and endeavors in the U. S. Regrettably, the original non-discrimination definition, Defintion 1, which was race and gender neutral, has died a slow, horrible death at the hands of the incessant lobbying of the professional quota industry. The race-based, quota-based version, Definition 2, has risen to take its place."

"text": "\"Definition of the simple past tense The simple past tense, sometimes called the preterite, is used to talk about a completed action in a time before now. The simple past is the basic form of past tense in English. The time of the action can be in the recent past or the distant past and action duration is not important. Examples John Cabot sailed to America in 1498. My father died last year. He lived in Fiji in 1976. We crossed the Channel yesterday. You always use the simple past when you say when something happened, so it is associated with certain past time expressionsfrequency: often, sometimes, always I sometimes walked home at lunchtime. I often brought my lunch to school.a definite point in time: last week, when I was a child, yesterday, six weeks ago We saw a good film last week. Yesterday, I arrived in Geneva."

"text": "Assumption of Risk In today’s world, people engage in fun and exciting activities which, by their very nature, are risky, with the possibility of being injured. Water skiing, rock climbing, watching a baseball game, are all examples of activities that people happily take part in, knowing that they might be injured, or incur some type of property damage. Assumption of risk is a legal theory that means, once a person has knowingly and voluntarily engaged in the risky activity, he cannot sue the host for injuries or damages incurred. To explore this concept, consider the following assumption of risk definition. Definition of Assumption or Risk Noun An affirmative defense in a civil lawsuit where the defense claims the plaintiff knowingly exposed himself to the hazards that caused injury or damages. What is Assumption of Risk Assumption of risk refers to situations in which an individual acknowledges the risks associated with any activity, but chooses to take part regardless. In other words, the plaintiff knew the activity could possibly result in physical injury or property damage, but decided to assume the risk in order to have fun. For example: Richard goes to the local amusement park and watches passengers on a ride that flips them upside down. After watching a few times, Richard decides to ride, but bumps his head when the car flips upside down, resulting in whiplash. After receiving medical care, Richard files a civil lawsuit against the park, seeking payment for his medical bills and pain and suffering."

"text": "Aristotle's Logic First published Sat Mar 18, 2000; substantive revision Fri Feb 17, 2017Aristotle’s logic, especially his theory of the syllogism, has had an unparalleled influence on the history of Western thought. It did not always hold this position: in the Hellenistic period, Stoic logic, and in particular the work of Chrysippus, took pride of place. However, in later antiquity, following the work of Aristotelian Commentators, Aristotle’s logic became dominant, and Aristotelian logic was what was transmitted to the Arabic and the Latin medieval traditions, while the works of Chrysippus have not survived. This unique historical position has not always contributed to the understanding of Aristotle’s logical works. Kant thought that Aristotle had discovered everything there was to know about logic, and the historian of logic Prantl drew the corollary that any logician after Aristotle who said anything new was confused, stupid, or perverse. During the rise of modern formal logic following Frege and Peirce, adherents of Traditional Logic (seen as the descendant of Aristotelian Logic) and the new mathematical logic tended to see one another as rivals, with incompatible notions of logic. More recent scholarship has often applied the very techniques of mathematical logic to Aristotle’s theories, revealing (in the opinion of many) a number of similarities of approach and interest between Aristotle and modern logicians. This article is written from the latter perspective. As such, it is about Aristotle’s logic, which is not always the same thing as what has been called “Aristotelian” logic.1. Introduction2."

"text": "Fact Sheet Asylum in the United States Immigration 101 How the Immigration System Works Asylum August 22, 2016Download PDFEach year, thousands of noncitizens arriving at our border or already in the United States apply for asylum, or protection from persecution. Asylum-seekers must navigate a difficult and complex process that involves multiple government agencies. Those granted asylum have the opportunity to apply to live in the United States permanently, receive certain benefits, and be reunited with their family members. This fact sheet describes the asylum system in the United States, including how asylum is defined, eligibility requirements, and the application process. What is asylum? Asylum is a protection granted to foreign nationals already in the United States or at the border who meet the international definition of a “refugee.” The United Nations 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocols defines a refugee as a person who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her home country, and cannot obtain protection in that country, due to past persecution or a well-founded fear of being persecuted “on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” Congress incorporated this definition into U. S. immigration law in the Refugee Act of 1980. As a signatory to the 1967 Protocol, and through U. S. immigration law, the United States has legal obligations to provide protection and certain rights to those who qualify as refugees. The Refugee Act established two paths to obtain refugee status—either from abroad as a resettled refugee or in the United States as an asylum-seeker."

New Jersey was the first state to impose this tax on digital products in 2007, and most others have come on board since then. These types of sales taxes are typically levied on downloads of digital audio, video, ebooks and ringtones, but this can vary considerably across state lines. Downloaded software or software updates are generally subject to separate, more complex rules. States That Tax Downloads Many states have passed laws that impose sales taxes on digital products, but \"\"digital products\"\" can be defined differently in each state. One state may include i Tunes digital downloads, while another may tax only ebooks. Several states have adopted the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board definition, providing some uniformity to this complex issue. Others do not define digital products in their legislation at all and most of these do not impose a sales tax on these products. The federal Digital Goods and Services Tax Fairness Act of 2011 prohibits states from taxing digital products at a rate that's not consistent with its other sales tax laws.

"text": "Gay-Affirming Pastor Jay Bakker: “I Am Definitely Questioning the Atonement”By Erin Benziger ∙ 15 February 2013 ∙ In Opinion ∙ Bookmark permalink Self-labeled “evangelical punk preacher” Jay Bakker, son of televangelists Jim Bakker and the late Tammy Faye Bakker Messner, has released a new book that calls into question many of orthodox Christianity’s long-held beliefs. According to the Christian Post (CP), which recently ran a rather lengthy article and interview with the 37-year-old pastor of Revolution Church NYC, Bakker’s new book will encourage “Christians to doubt, question and re-examine their beliefs and the Bible in pursuit of the ‘unknown God of limitless grace’ that [Bakker’s] come to know through his own faith journey.” Faith, Doubt and Other Lines I’ve Crossed is, according to CP, “heavy on love and grace and selective in its assessment of Scripture. ”Writes CP reporter Nicola Menzie: Although Bakker’s theology may cause some readers to bristle, his demands for a more biblically literate, compassionate and socially-conscious Christian Church certainly hold merit. As the preacher explained to The Christian Post this week, there is plenty that the Church has gotten right in terms of combating poverty and hunger, but he also insists Christians need to re-think the issues he believes much of the community has gotten wrong – especially when it comes to gays and lesbians. Source Of course, that Jay Bakker is LGBTQ-affirming is no surprise to most Christians. Neither, then, does it shock that Bakker would seek to persuade believers to “doubt, question and re-examine their beliefs and the Bible.” Yet, @Aspree draws attention to a graver statement made by Bakker in this CP interview: Jay Bakker, perhaps unsurprisingly to some, appears to deny the atonement. CP asked of Bakker: You mentioned deconstructing faith. You also seem to deconstruct the traditional Christian doctrine of the atonement, the belief that Jesus died for the world’s sins."

"text": "\"Right and Wrong Racismby Richard Mc Culloch Reductionism and extremism both try to keep things simple. Reductionism attempts to reduce the complex to the simple, both in matters of type, kind or form, and causality. Where there are many types or forms, differing in both minor and major degrees, reductionism -- unable or unwilling to make distinctions -- claims there is only one type or form. Where there are many different causes combining to produce an effect, reductionism insists there is only one cause. Extremism, the other product of simplistic thinking, defines an issue only in terms of its two extreme positions, denying the possible existence of alternative positions between the two extremes. For the extremist there is no middle ground, only one extreme or the other. Non-support for one extreme position is equated with support of the opposite extreme position. The problem with simplistic thinking, whether reductionism or extremism, is that in a world of almost infinite complexity and variety it rarely provides an accurate or truthful portrayal of reality. This problem is particularly acute in the fields of definition and categorization. For example, racism -- the subject of this chapter -- is a term that is frequently subject to simplistic definitions."

Related Terms: Mayhem , Duel , Chance Medley A common law criminal offence comprised of the public fighting of two or more persons to the terror of the public. The offence required the coming to blows and the sentence often varied depending on the venue. An affray which occurred in Court or on church grounds would be severely punished. The common law courts also clarified that bearing arms did not of itself constitute an affray \"\"unless it be accompanied with such circumstances as are apt to terrify the people\"\". In Re May, the Supreme Court of North Carolina, in 2003 stated:\"\"An affray is defined at common law as a fight between two or more persons in a public place so as to cause terror to the public....\"\"'Affray' is derived from the French word effrayer, meaning to affright. \"\" Thus, in order to prove the offense, the State must prove beyond a reasonable doubt three essential elements of the crime: (1) that there was a fight between two or more persons; (2) that the fight occurred in a public place; and (3) that the fight caused terror to persons who qualify as members of the public.\"\"\"\" ( T)he offense may be committed in two distinct types of locales that qualify as public places. The first type includes places generally considered public by the nature of their use or intended use. Parcels and places owned and/or maintained by either a government entity or a private business and that are open to public traffic are included in this grouping."

There are no special public interest considerations over and above those recognised in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.

The damage need not be visible or tangible if it affects the value or performance of the property. For guidance on unauthorised acts with intent to impair, or with recklessness as to impairing, operation of a computer, refer to the Computer Misuse Act 1990, elsewhere in the Legal Guidance.

"text": "\"Summary offence From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Infraction)navigation search A summary offence is a crime in some common law jurisdictions that can be proceeded against summarily, without the right to a jury trial and/or indictment (required for an indictable offence ). Contents [ hide ]1 Canada1.1 Summary conviction offences1.2 Indictable offences2 Hong Kong3 United Kingdom4 United States5 See also6 References Canada [ edit]In Canada, summary offences are referred to as summary conviction offences. [ 1] As in other jurisdictions, summary conviction offences are considered less serious than indictable offences because they are punishable by shorter prison sentences and smaller fines. These offences appear both in the federal laws of Canada and in the legislation of Canada's provinces and territories. For summary conviction offences that fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government (which includes all criminal law ), section 787 of the Criminal Code specifies that, unless another punishment is provided for by law, the maximum penalty for a summary conviction offence is a sentence of 6 months of imprisonment, a fine of $5,000 or both. As a matter of practical effect, some common differences between summary conviction and indictable offences are provided below. Summary conviction offences [ edit]Accused must be charged with a summary conviction within 6 months after the act happened. Limitation periods are set out in the Criminal Code. The police can arrest under summary conviction without an arrest warrant if found committing a summary offence notwithstanding s. 495 (2) (c) of the Criminal Code. [ 2]If the police do not find committing a summary offence, an arrest warrant is required."

The need for the code is to balance individual rights and the need for investigative powers by the police. The police powers of arrest are a extensive, they apply to every offence, not just serious offences so there is a need for such a balance. Right to liberty The right to liberty is a key principle of the Human Rights Act 1998. The exercise of the power of arrest represents an obvious and significant interference with that right. Arrest must be justified The use of powers of arrest must be fully justified and officers exercising the power should consider if the necessary objectives can be met by other, less intrusive means. The exercise of arrest powers is subject to a test of necessity based around the nature and circumstances of the offence and the interests of the criminal justice system.

"text": "Breach of the Peace UK Definition An individual arrested to prevent a breach of the peace does not have to be taken before a court. There is no power to continue the person’s detention beyond the time where a recurrence or renewal of the breach of the peace is likely. The danger in any kind of activism is that the police step in to a legitimate situation and either misguidedly or for their own hidden agenda, start arresting people (or threatening to arrest) for Breach of the Peace. The reality is that in 2015 the police force is woefully under-trained in law – they know practically NOTHING about the laws they are supposed to be upholding or enforcing. The law in breach of the peace UK cases is well established, and should be known by all serving police people (eww how PC is that?). AKA in Nigel speak “POLICY-MEN.”The leading authority is the Court of Appeal case of R v Howell (1982), which you can read by clicking on the link. Howell shows the legal elements of this ‘common law offence. ’Unlike ‘statutory offences’ which are passed in parliament, breach of the peace law has developed over years of cases passing through the courts. It is entirely Common Law. Howell brought the legal authorities together."

A more formal, generally synonymous legal term is scienter: intent or knowledge of wrongdoing. Contents [ hide ]1 Definitions2 The test of intent3 Offenses of basic and of specific intent4 Direct intent and oblique intent5 Unconditional intent and conditional intent6 Purpose intent and knowledge intent7 See also8 Footnotes9 References Definitions [ edit]Intent is defined in Canadian law by the ruling in R v Mohan (1994) as \"\"the decision to bring about a prohibited consequence. \"\" A range of words represents shades of intent in criminal laws around the world. The mental element, or mens rea, of murder, for example, is traditionally expressed as malice aforethought, and the interpretations of malice, \"\"maliciously\"\" and \"\"willful\"\" vary between pure intent and recklessness or negligence, [ citation needed] depending on the jurisdiction in which the crime was committed and the seriousness of the offence. The intent element of a crime, such as intent to kill, may exist without a malicious motive, or even with a benevolent motive, such as in the case of euthanasia. [ 1]A person intends a consequence when they 1) foresee that it will happen if their given series of acts or omissions continue, and 2) desire it to happen. The most serious level of culpability, justifying the most serious levels of punishment, is achieved when both these components are actually present in the accused's mind (a \"\"subjective\"\" test)."

"text": "\"Intoxication in English law From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Intoxication in English law is a circumstance which may alter the capacity of a defendant to form mens rea, where a charge is one of specific intent, or may entirely negate mens rea where the intoxication is involuntary. The fact that a defendant is intoxicated in the commission of a crime — whether voluntarily or not — has never been regarded as a full defence to criminal proceedings (unlike statutory defences such as self defence ). Its development at common law has been shaped by the acceptance that intoxicated individuals do not think or act as rationally as they would otherwise, but also by a public policy necessity to punish individuals who commit crimes. Contents [ hide ]1 Voluntary intoxication1.1 Specific and basic intent1.2 Dutch courage2 Involuntary intoxication3 See also4 Notes5 References Voluntary intoxication [ edit]Main article: Voluntary intoxication in English law The Earl of Birkenhead stated in 1920 that until the early 19th century voluntary drunkenness was never a defence, based on the principle that \"\"a man who by his own voluntary act debauches and destroys his will power shall be no better situated in regard to criminal acts than a sober man\"\". [ 1] This was considered the authority by Lord Elwyn-Jones in the Majewski case. [ 2] Instead, intoxication may assist the defence arguing that the defendant lacked the appropriate mens rea (mental element) for the crime. [ 3]Specific and basic intent [ edit]In Majewski, Lord Elwyn-Jones, giving judgement, indicated that a crime was one of specific intent if the mens rea went further than the actus reus; in other words, that the crime was one of ulterior intent. [ 2] [4] This makes sense in the case of burglary and of criminal damage with intent to endanger life, where the intent need not be carried out, and which have been judged crimes of specific intent. [ 4] However, this fails to explain why murder is considered a crime of specific intent, despite the fact that its mental aspect is equal or less than the actus reus requirement of causing death. [ 4]Lord Simon 's judgement in the same case advanced a different definition: crimes of specific intent required a \"\"purposive element\"\"."

In England and Wales, the usual practice is to prefer a charge of murder, with the judge or defence able to introduce manslaughter as an option (see lesser included offence ). The jury then decides whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty of either murder or manslaughter.

"text": "Ashraf Ghani sworn in as Afghanistan's President By Jethro Mullen and Brian Walker, CNNUpdated 9:10 AM ET, Mon September 29, 2014Story highlights Two attacks kill eight police on day new President takes the oath of office One of the attacks killed four officers a few miles from the presidential palace Ashraf Ghani succeeds Hamid Karzai, who was in power for 13 years Ghani's swearing-in comes after the recent resolution of a lengthy dispute with his rival Ashraf Ghani was sworn in Monday as Afghanistan's President, sealing the country's first peaceful democratic transition of power. Ghani, a former finance minister, takes office after signing a power-sharing deal last week with his rival presidential candidate, Abdullah Abdullah. He succeeds Hamid Karzai, who experienced a rocky relationship with the United States during his 13 years in power that began after the fall of the Taliban. A reminder of the challenges facing Ghani and Afghanistan came a few miles away from the presidential palace in Kabul: A suicide bomber targeting a police checkpoint killed four police officers and three civilians Monday morning, said Sediq Sediqqi, a spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry. Elsewhere in Afghanistan, three suicide bombers killed four Afghan police officers Monday at a district police headquarters in the eastern Paktia province, Sediqqi said. Ghani and Abdullah had been locked in a lengthy dispute amid accusations of voting fraud and manipulation, raising fears of increased instability in the fragile, war-torn country. Under the agreement, Abdullah, a former foreign minister who later became a vocal critic of Karzai's, will take a newly created position of chief executive officer, which will have similar functions to a prime minister. The deal also calls for the two leaders' teams to share senior government positions equally. Some commentators have suggested the two rivals may have difficulty working together in government after months of bad blood between them. The political impasse in Afghanistan this year had come as the Taliban continued to mount deadly attacks on high-profile targets and fought fiercely for control of important areas."

"text": "I recently wrote a satirical article highlighting my view that if taxes and military service were required during every American military engagement, we’d never again wage wars with such ease and impulsiveness. Contrary to the erroneous and ridiculous interpretation of one website that claimed I believe “we’re a nation of selfish sloths” (thanks for bothering to read my other articles before the knee-jerk reaction), the fact is that I believe we’re a great nation, but one that is too emotionally inclined to justify military action from a terrorist video, or send other Americans off to counterinsurgency wars without realizing the full costs of such endeavors. To be clear, there is no satire in this post and these thoughts, as with all my writing, are my own; I’d never speak for anyone else and certainly not the men and women in uniform who protect this country and who’ve died in the Iraq War. The purpose of remembering the 4,486 American soldiers who’ve died in Operation Iraqi Freedom, a war that already ended in 2011, should be tied directly to the recent words of President Obama: Over the last several years, we have consistently taken the fight to terrorists who threaten our country ... We’ve done so while bringing more than 140,000 American troops home from Iraq, and drawing down our forces in Afghanistan, where our combat mission will end later this year. Thanks to our military and counterterrorism professionals, America is safer. Still, we continue to face a terrorist threat.... Our objective is clear: We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy.... Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL. And any time we take military action, there are risks involved — especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions. But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil.... May God bless our troops, and may God bless the United States of America. First, there were a number of inaccurate statements in President Obama’s speech."

It provides a platform to discuss ways to improve development and promote trade and investment opportunities. The ECO is an ad hoc organisation under the United Nations Charter (Chap. VIII). The objective is to establish a single market for goods and services, much like the European Union. [ 2] ECO's secretariat and cultural department are located in Iran, its economic bureau is in Turkey and its scientific bureau is situated in Pakistan. The nature of ECO is that it consists of predominantly Muslim-majority states as it is a trade bloc for the Central Asian states connected to the Mediterranean through Turkey, to the Persian Gulf via Iran, and to the Arabian sea via Pakistan. The current framework of ECO expresses itself mostly in the form of bilateral agreements and arbitration mechanisms between individual and fully sovereign member states. This makes ECO similar to ASEAN in that it is an organisation that has its own offices and bureaucracy for implementation of trade amongst sovereign member states."

There are three versions of the award: The U. S. Army Medal of Honor, the U. S. Air Force Medal of Honor, and the U. S. Navy Medal of Honor (which includes the Coast Guard and the Marine Corps). The first medal of honor was given on July 12, 1862, and the medal has been presented 3,515 times since then. In recent memory, George H. W. Bush honored six recipients, Bill Clinton honored 32, and George W. Bush honored three. President Obama bestowed 52 Medals of Honor during his time in office.

"text": "History of Taliban Following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, the Taliban emerged as a resistance movement aiming to eject the Soviet troops from Afghanistan. With the United States and Pakistan providing considerable financial and military support, the Afghan Mujahideen were able to inflict heavy losses on the Soviet troops. According to The New York Times, the Soviet Union lost about 15,000 soldiers in Afghanistan. In 1989, the Soviet troops withdrew from Afghanistan, and the Afghan Mujahideen, under the leadership of Ahmed Shah Massoud, surrounded the Afghan capital, Kabul, and took over the rule three years after the departure of the Soviets. The Afghan government that was backed by the Soviet Union and led by President Sayid Mohammed Najibullah was subsequently overthrown. The Mujahideen alliance forming the new Afghan government, led by Burhanuddin Rabbani as interim president, failed to reach political unity and ended up fighting one another (Matinuddin 12-16). VIDEO. The Taliban was one of the Mujahideen factions that formed during the Soviet occupation and the internal fighting in Afghanistan. The Taliban emerged as a powerful movement in late 1994 when Pakistan chose the Taliban to guard a convoy trying to open a trade route from Pakistan to Central Asia. With Pakistan providing weapons, military training, and financial support, the Taliban gained control over several Afghan cities and successfully captured Kabul in September 1996."

"text": "Alternative Title: Mohammad Najibullah Najibullah, also known as Mohammad Najibullah, (born 1947, Gardīz, Afghanistan—died September 27, 1996, Kabul), Afghan military official who was president of Afghanistan from 1986 to 1992. The son of a prominent Pashtun family, Najibullah (who, like many Afghans, had only a single name) began studying medicine at Kabul University in 1964 and received his degree in 1975, but he never practiced medicine. He joined the Banner (“Parcham”) faction of the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) in 1965, and he was twice imprisoned for political activities. In 1978 the PDPA staged a successful coup, but the People’s (“Khalq”) faction soon gained supremacy over the Banner faction. Najibullah was named ambassador to Iran in 1978 but was fired within months after being accused of plotting to overthrow the regime of Hafizullah Amin. Najibullah went into exile in eastern Europe until the U. S. S. R. intervened in 1979 and supported a Parcham-dominated government. Najibullah was made head of the secret police and became known for his brutality and ruthlessness. His methods proved invaluable to the regime in view of escalating guerrilla warfare of the Muslim mujahideen, but, as the war grew in intensity, the Soviet Union withdrew. Najibullah, who replaced Babrak Karmal as president in 1986, attempted to gain support by relaxing Karmal’s strict control, but he was widely despised and was finally forced from office by the mujahideen rebels and mutinous groups within his own military in 1992. He took refuge in a United Nations compound, where he was sheltered for the next four years."

Since then, he has tried to fulfill the promises he made as an antiwar candidate. Doug Mills/The New York Times WASHINGTON — President Obama came into office seven years ago pledging to end the wars of his predecessor, George W. Bush. On May 6, with eight months left before he vacates the White House, Mr. Obama passed a somber, little-noticed milestone: He has now been at war longer than Mr. Bush, or any other American president. If the United States remains in combat in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria until the end of Mr. Obama’s term — a near-certainty given the president’s recent announcement that he will send 250 additional Special Operations forces to Syria — he will leave behind an improbable legacy as the only president in American history to serve two complete terms with the nation at war. Mr. Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 and spent his years in the White House trying to fulfill the promises he made as an antiwar candidate, would have a longer tour of duty as a wartime president than Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon or his hero Abraham Lincoln. Granted, Mr. Obama is leaving far fewer soldiers in harm’s way — at least 4,087 in Iraq and 9,800 in Afghanistan — than the 200,000 troops he inherited from Mr. Bush in the two countries. But Mr. Obama has also approved strikes against terrorist groups in Libya, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, for a total of seven countries where his administration has taken military action. “No president wants to be a war president,” said Eliot A. Cohen, a military historian at Johns Hopkins University who backed the war in Iraq and whose son served there twice. “ Obama thinks of war as an instrument he has to use very reluctantly."

"text": "Home > Columbia Encyclopedia > History > Asia and Africa > Central Asian History > Afghanistan War Cite Afghanistan War Afghanistan War, 1978–92, conflict between anti-Communist Muslim Afghan guerrillas (mujahidin) and Afghan government and Soviet forces. The conflict had its origins in the 1978 coup that overthrew Afghan president Sardar Muhammad Daud Khan, who had come to power by ousting the king in 1973. The president was assassinated and a pro-Soviet Communist government under Noor Mohammed Taraki was established. In 1979 another coup, which brought Hafizullah Amin to power, provoked an invasion (Dec., 1979) by Soviet forces and the installation of Babrak Karmal as president. The Soviet invasion, which sparked Afghan resistance, intially involved an estimated 30,000 troops, a force that ultimately grew to 100,000. The mujahidin were supported by aid from the United States, China, and Saudi Arabia, channeled through Pakistan, and from Iran. Although the USSR had superior weapons and complete air control, the rebels successfully eluded them. The conflict largely settled into a stalemate, with Soviet and government forces controlling the urban areas, and the Afghan guerrillas operating fairly freely in mountainous rural regions. As the war progressed, the rebels improved their organization and tactics and began using imported and captured weapons, including U. S. antiaircraft missiles, to neutralize the technological advantages of the USSR. In 1986, Karmal resigned and Mohammad Najibullah became head of a collective leadership."

"text": "\"Alternative Insight Failures of U. S. Foreign Policy-1946 to July 2016After World War II, United States foreign policy often failed to accomplish its objectives and mostly behaved counterproductive. Force replaced diplomacy. Military solutions trampled negotiations. Counter-insurgency produced insurgents. The U. S. identified anti-communism as its principal guide to foreign policy during the Cold War, but similar policies continued after the Soviet Union's collapse and disintegration. As the balance of terror receded, the United States confronted global terrorism, which obligated the unique world power to initiate a new war, the 'war against terrorism.' This war does not recede; it grows, and as it grows, it becomes connected to another war, 'the war against drugs.' In Afghanistan, the U. S. wages a war against the poppy fields, the same war the Soviets initially fought. In Mexico, a border war of drug violence exceeds the terrorist violence within America. Incoherent behavior has the U. S. 'war on terrorism' serving to breed terrorism."

The number of Nato forces peaked at about 140,000 in 2011, but decreased in subsequent years as Nato countries wound down combat operations, handing over control to local security forces. Countries with troops still in Afghanistan include the US, Georgia, Germany, Turkey, Romania, Italy, the UK and Australia. How many foreign troops are in Afghanistan now? Nato ended its combat mission in Afghanistan in December 2014, leaving a 13,000-strong residual force used for training and counter-terrorism operations, including 9,800 US troops. The US originally planned to withdraw all but a small embassy-based force of 1,000 troops by the end of 2016. However, due to a growing Taliban threat, US President Barack Obama has announced he will maintain troop numbers at 9,800 for most of 2016. About 5,500 troops will still be in the country when he leaves office in 2017. The top US commander in Afghanistan, Gen John Campbell, said last week that an enhanced military presence would be necessary if the Taliban were to be repelled. How successful has the international mission been?"

[ 11] [12] Afghanistan is bordered by Pakistan in the south and east; Iran in the west; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan in the north; and in the far northeast, China. Its territory covers 652,000 square kilometers (252,000 sq mi) and much of it is covered by the Hindu Kush mountain range, which experience very cold winters.

Kai Pfaffenbach / Reuters Edward Delman Mar 30, 2016 Global Share Tweet…Linked In Email Print Text Size Like The Atlantic? Subscribe to The Atlantic Daily, our free weekday email newsletter. In his recent cover story for The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg notes that when Barack Obama first entered the White House, with George W. Bush’s long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq ongoing, “he was not seeking new dragons to slay.” Just the opposite: He fit the mold, Goldberg argues, of a “retrenchment president” elected to scale back America’s commitments overseas and shift responsibilities to allies. But you could be forgiven for thinking the dragons have stubbornly remained, and even multiplied, on Obama’s watch. To cite just some recent examples: In October, the president authorized the first sustained deployment of U. S. special-operations forces to Syria to complement his air campaign against the Islamic State. In January, reports emerged that the Obama administration was rethinking its troop drawdown in Afghanistan, given the deteriorating security situation there, and considering sending more troops to Iraq and Syria. The next month, Obama released a defense budget that included an increase of $2.5 billion over the previous year to expand the fight with ISIS to North and West Africa, and billions more for sending heavy weapons, armored vehicles, and other equipment to Eastern and Central Europe to counter Russian aggression."

Afghan officials say three Taliban suicide bombers targeted NATO fuel trucks at the border with Pakistan, setting off a gunbattle with police guards. ( Rahmat Gul/AP)WASHINGTON — Dozens of Afghan students and others from around the country stood in front of the U. S. Capitol on Dec. 7 to demand that Congress cut all military funding to Pakistan. “We want the international community to stop funding Pakistan under the name of the war on terror… and to stop supporting terrorists in the region,” said Habiba Ashna, one of the organizers of the “Stop Killing Afghans!” protest, to Mint Press News. Ashna, 25, who is a studying International Affairs at Sweet Briar College in Virginia, was referring to the history of support the Pakistani army and its intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence, have shown to the Taliban and other militant groups, such as the Haqqani network, which carry out suicide attacks and other violent assaults inside Afghanistan. The feeling among the protesters on Capitol Hill that cold, blustery afternoon was one of frustration. “ Pakistan constantly says that they’re gonna stop supporting the Taliban, but they go back on their words and end up supporting them for longer,” explained one attendee at the protest, who wished not to be named. Signs at the demonstration said things like, “Taliban: The Veritable Arm of Pakistan’s ISI;” “Stop Making Human Bombs from Children;” and “ISI! Stop Killing Afghans."

"text": "I recently wrote a satirical article highlighting my view that if taxes and military service were required during every American military engagement, we’d never again wage wars with such ease and impulsiveness. Contrary to the erroneous and ridiculous interpretation of one website that claimed I believe “we’re a nation of selfish sloths” (thanks for bothering to read my other articles before the knee-jerk reaction), the fact is that I believe we’re a great nation, but one that is too emotionally inclined to justify military action from a terrorist video, or send other Americans off to counterinsurgency wars without realizing the full costs of such endeavors. To be clear, there is no satire in this post and these thoughts, as with all my writing, are my own; I’d never speak for anyone else and certainly not the men and women in uniform who protect this country and who’ve died in the Iraq War. The purpose of remembering the 4,486 American soldiers who’ve died in Operation Iraqi Freedom, a war that already ended in 2011, should be tied directly to the recent words of President Obama: Over the last several years, we have consistently taken the fight to terrorists who threaten our country ... We’ve done so while bringing more than 140,000 American troops home from Iraq, and drawing down our forces in Afghanistan, where our combat mission will end later this year. Thanks to our military and counterterrorism professionals, America is safer. Still, we continue to face a terrorist threat.... Our objective is clear: We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy.... Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL. And any time we take military action, there are risks involved — especially to the servicemen and women who carry out these missions. But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil.... May God bless our troops, and may God bless the United States of America. First, there were a number of inaccurate statements in President Obama’s speech."

"text": "RIP Digital Camo: Obituary for a Very Controversial Uniform Last month, an alert went out to all U. S. Army Soldiers giving them notice that their uniforms — their Army Combat Uniforms — have an expiration date. The ACU is what you’ve all come to know and love from Army Strong commericals and ubiquitous Facebook ads for masters degrees in counterterrorism. It has been the icon of the Army for a decade; it introduced a radical clothing pattern to millions of Americans; it represented the military in Hollywood and popular culture during an era in which support for the military reached unprecedented levels; it was emblematic of a force transitioning to a more modern, lethal one. And most Soldiers couldn’t be happier to see it go. Soldiers in digital ACUs from the 49th Military Police Brigade (Spc. Wesley Adams, left, Spc. Rommel Vazquez, right, and Staff Sgt. Keith George, hidden) greet Iraqi police officers. The Soldiers are members of the 49th’s Personnel Security Detail who played a key role for the California brigade during Iraq’s national election March 7, 2010. ( US Army photo/SPC Eddie Siguenza)This is the life story of the ACU, and its obituary."

They constitute about two-fifth of Afghan population. Pashtoons can be further segregated into tribes, most famous among whom are Durrani and Ghilzai. Other major tribes are Wardak, Jaji, Tani, Jadran, Mangal, Khugiani, Safi, Mohmand and Shinwari. They can be easily recognised from other Afghan ethnic groups, due to their Pashto language and peculiar way of living, called Pashtunwali. Homeland of Pashtuns lies south of the Hindu Kush, but Pashtun groups are scattered all over the country. Most Pashtuns work in farmlands to earn their livelihood."

[ CNN News, 8/2/2005] Al-Moayad’s trial in the United States will cause resentment in Yemen because he is a highly-esteemed cleric and member of the influential Islah party. [ Associated Press, 3/10/2005] Another of bin Laden’s “mentors” at this time is Abdul Mejid al-Zindani, a dynamic mujaheddin recruiter who becomes a leader of the Islah party. Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh’s half-brother and military commander Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar also recruits mujaheddin fighters for Bin Laden. These fighters will later establish training camps in Yemen.

Most of it goes through the charity front Maktab al-Khidamat (MAK), also known as Al-Kifah. The money generally comes from donors in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf, and is used to arm and supply the mujaheddin fighting in Afghanistan. Mohammad Yousaf, a high ranking ISI official, will later say, “It was largely Arab money that saved the system,” since so much of the aid given by the CIA and Saudi Arabia was siphoned away before it got to Afghanistan. “ By this I mean cash from rich individuals or private organizations in the Arab world, not Saudi government funds."

"text": "\"Kamiab Ghorbanpour, Live in Iran and been in other Middle East countries Answered Jun 2, 2017 · Author has 260 answers and 1.6m answer views Originally Answered: Is Persian culture different from Arabian culture? Comparing these two nations and their civilizations is kind of equivalent to comparing culture of Chinese and Japanese people or ancient Rome and Greece; yeah, I’m sure they look similar to each other but by studying them, you understand how different they are. Here are some examples for clarifying the difference between Persian culture and Arabian: Arabs speak Arabic, Iranians speak Persian (Farsi): Arabic and Farsi both have a similar alphabet but they are two completely different languages. After the Muslim conquest of Persia, most of middle east’s languages started to change and compound with Arabic. For an instance, Turkish had Arabic script as Farsi do but after Atatürk's Reforms, they adopt a new alphabet. ( derived from the Latin alphabet. ) Arabs and Iranians have two different calenders: Arabs have Hijra calendars which is based on an important event in Islamic history that some of Muslims migrated to Yathrib as they were fighting native Pagans; and interestingly, unlike most nations, Arabs do not celebrate their new year. Today is 5 Ramadan 1438 AH. Iranians have Iranian calendars which is based on the ancient calendars Persians used in pre-Islam era. Iranians do celebrate their new year (It’s called Noruz) and actually it is considered as the most important time of the year, Noruz also comes from an ancient ritual when Persia’s official religion was Zoroastrianism."

Afghanistan and Tajikistan have fostered a close relationship since the fall of the Taliban in 2001. The two countries share deep cultural ties and mutual security and economic interests. While Afghanistan is trying to expand trade with its northern neighbor for economic gains, Tajikistan favors a stable Afghanistan to tackle cross-border drug trafficking and terrorist activities threatening Dushanbe. Terrain Tajikistan sits on Afghanistan’s northeastern border, lying adjacent to the Afghan provinces of Badakhshan, Takhar, Kunduz, and Balkh. The 749-mile (1206-km) border largely follows the course of the Amu Darya and Panj Rivers. Much of Tajikistan’s southeastern border with Afghanistan lies in the Pamir Mountain range—the junction of the Hindu Kush and the Karakoram Mountains and home to some of the highest peaks in the world. Demographics The Tajiks are an ethnic group that speak a dialect of Persian (Dari) and live in an area extending from western China to Iran . The population of Tajikistan is approximately 7.3 million. Tajiks are the largest ethnic group in Tajikistan, comprising nearly 80 percent of the population."

National, as well as international spotlight shifted to Afghanistan, where Osama bin Laden, the presumed mastermind behind the September 11 attacks, was believed to be harbored. In the following months, Afghanistan became embroiled, for the second time in a century, in yet another major war. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, completely shocked and terrified Americans, many of whom had previously felt themselves immune to such unthinkable acts of violence. It, too, had the effect of raising questions, questions like: “why America? Who were these terrorists and for what reason would they sacrifice their own lives? What is the nature of Afghanistan’s involvement in these attacks and who, exactly, is Osama Bin Laden?”In the aftermath of these attacks, I found myself among the majority of Americans struggling to find answers to these questions. Like most Americans, I knew next to nothing about the country of Afghanistan, our country’s involvement in its civil war during the years 1979-1988, or the legacy this involvement left there. My hopes in commencing the research for this paper was to learn more about the country of Afghanistan itself and the nature of the United States’ involvement in it, especially during the years 1979-1988. What this paper intends to show is the evidence of all this research: that, the legacy of United States involvement in the Afghanistan Civil War, and missteps made in our country’s foreign policy during these years was, in part, responsible for fostering the anti-American sentiment which so tragically culminated in the terrorist attacks of September 11."

Mariam's birth was considered illegitimate by those around her during her childhood, yet as an adult she provided the ultimate sacrifice in saving Laila, Tariq and their children. Rasheed, on the other hand, was considered legitimate by his peers in Kabul and by Jalil, yet his actions in his home were atrocious, unjustified, and what could be called illegitimate. In terms of the Afghan power struggle, all groups which gained power, the Soviets, the Mujahideen, and the Taliban did so with the people of Afghanistan questioning the legitimacy of their rule.2Mariam and Laila were brought together due to circumstances they could not control. Describe how and when both women were able to regain power over their own lives and who was essential for them to gain this personal power.

( With Pakistan Language Map)Posted on June 12, 2014 by Jawaharlal under Balochistan, Balti, Demographics, Ethnicity, Hindko, Khowar, Kohistani, Language, Maps, Pakistan, Pashtuns, Punjab, Saraiki, Shina, Sindh One of the many frustrations I have faced when trying to understand South Asia is the near total lack of recent data on which languages are spoken and where. The lack of interest in South Asian languages is stunning, especially given that South Asia is home to some of the most spoken languages in the world. The language everyone has heard of is Hindi/Urdu (essentially one language with two scripts), which is spoken by over 300 million people, even if the closely related Rajasthani and Bihari languages are excluded. In the West though, awareness of the other South Asian languages is low. Just to give an idea of how large many of these languages are, here are some comparisons: as many people speak Punjabi as Japanese; roughly as many people speak Bengali as German, French, and Italian combined; as many people speak Oriya as Ukrainian; Pashto has as many speakers as Polish; Marathi, Telugu, and Tamil each has more than three times as many native speakers as Dutch. I have searched for up-to-date statistics for language in India, but haven’t been able to find anything more recent than the 1931 Census. I was able however, to track down tehsil-level date for Pakistan from the 1998 Census. In Pakistan, tehsils are the third level of administrative divisions, after provinces and districts. The data set I found isn’t perfect (more on that later), but it has most of what I was looking for."

In atrial fibrillation the electrical flow is chaotic causing the heartbeat to become irregular. Warning Sign: Uneven Pulse Atrial fibrillation causes an irregular heart rate.

This rapid, abnormal heart rate can be dangerous if not treated and controlled quickly.

In a patient with AFib, the atria beat faster than and out of sync with the ventricles. Read on to learn more about this common and often debilitating condition. Symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation AFib can cause shortness of breath, heart palpitations, decreased blood pressure, confusion, chest pain, weakness, or lightheadedness.

Get the facts about atrial fibrillation treatment options. Jim Craigmyle/Corbis Fast Facts Symptoms of atrial fibrillation include shortness of breath, fatigue, and weakness. Atrial fibrillation treatment, such as medication or an ablation procedure, can bring relief. Compare the risks and benefits, and discuss them with your doctor. If you’re one of the 2.7 million Americans who live with atrial fibrillation — a tricky-to-treat condition that causes your heart to beat irregularly — you may be unsure how to treat it. Symptoms of atrial fibrillation, also called afib, can be debilitating. They may include palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, and weakness. But trying to reduce these symptoms through drugs that control the abnormal heart beat, called anti-arrhythmic drugs, can come with serious side effects."

Breast tenderness is something I have post menopause but not down to meds, I dont think so anyway. Reply SRMGrandma Volunteer4 years ago Hi Terri, The weight gain and hair loss are classic signs of thyroid problems. It is very common to have thyroid issues after menopause so I am sure your doc will test you for that. Also talk to your doc about how much exercise you can do because if we don't change our diets and eat a little less and exercise more after menopause weight will creep up. As for the breast tenderness, are you a big consumer of caffeine?"

"text": "\"Atrial flutter ( AFL) is a common abnormal heart rhythm, similar to atrial fibrillation, the most common abnormal heart rhythm. Both conditions are types of supraventricular (above the ventricles) tachycardia (rapid heart beat). In AFL, the upper chambers (atria) of the heart beat too fast, which results in atrial muscle contractions that are faster than and out of sync with the lower chambers (ventricles). Click the image to view an animation on Atrial Flutter What is Atrial Flutter? The electrical system of the heart is the power source that makes the heart beat. Electrical impulses travel along a pathway in the heart and make the upper and lower chambers of the heart (atria and the ventricles) work together to pump blood through the heart. A normal heartbeat begins as a single electrical impulse that comes from the sinoatrial (SA) node, a small bundle of tissue located in the right atrium. The impulse sends out an electrical pulse that causes the atria to contract (squeeze) and move blood into the lower ventricles. The electrical current passes through the atrioventricular ( AV) node (the electrical bridge between the upper and lower chambers of the heart), causing the ventricles to squeeze and release in a steady, rhythmic sequence. As the chambers squeeze and release, they draw blood into the heart and push it back out to the rest of the body and lungs."

We know that the erratic electrical impulses that cause atrial fibrillation often originate in the pulmonary veins, at least in most paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation, and that the impulses that cause persistent and longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation are believed to come from other areas as well, but what actually causes afib? Though researchers are investigating the cause of atrial fibrillation, as of now it is largely unknown except that some recent studies have shown a genetic component as afib often runs in families. What Are Atrial Fibrillation Risk Factors? The risk factors for atrial fibrillation are as numerous as the symptoms. One of the most important risk factors is existing heart disease. Atrial fibrillation is common among those with coronary heart disease, valve disease, or an inflamed heart muscle or lining, or who have had a heart attack, congestive heart failure, or recent heart surgery."

Atrial fibrillation (AF or AFib) happens when the atria (upper chambers of the heart) lose their regular rhythm and beat chaotically. When this happens, blood isn’t really streaming through the heart and body efficiently. This inefficient flow can cause blood to pool inside the atria, increasing the risk of blood clots. Main Causes: Who Gets Atrial Fibrillation? According to data from the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), over 2.3 million individuals in the United States have some type of AFib."

Articles On Atrial Fibrillation What is Atrial Fibrillation Causes Symptoms Tests Types Treatments Living With Afib When to Call a Doctor Press your hand against your chest. Those little thumps you feel are your heart pumping, moving blood into and out of its chambers and through the rest of your body. Normally, the top part of your heart (the atria) squeezes first, then the bottom part (the ventricles). The timing of these contractions is what moves the blood. But for more than 2 million Americans, the electrical signals that control this system are off-kilter. Instead of working together, the atria do their own thing. This fast, fluttering heartbeat, what doctors call arrhythmia, is atrial fibrillation, or AFib. More than annoying, it can be serious. Because your blood isn't moving well, you're at greater risk for heart failure."

"text": "Atrial Fibrillation Blood Clots: Symptoms and Prevention Symptoms Prevention Takeaway What is atrial fibrillation? Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat. In a healthy heart, oxygen-rich blood moves from your lungs to the left upper chamber of your heart. The upper chambers are called your atria. Your atria pump the blood into the two lower chambers of your heart, known as your ventricles. Blood from your lungs is pumped from the left atrium into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps your blood around your body and back to the right atrium, the right ventricle, and then your lungs. Electrical impulses allow each part of your heart to beat in rhythm with other parts. If you have AFib, your heart’s electrical signals become disorganized. This causes your heart’s atria to beat chaotically, preventing proper blood flow."

To reduce your risk for the onset of AFib, maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle is always your best option. If you have been diagnosed with AFib, take medications if they are prescribed for you, and get proper treatment and management of your condition so you can reduce the risk of AFib’s harmful consequences. View an animation of atrial fibrillation. What can I do to reduce my risk of complications associated with atrial fibrillation? Get regular physical activity Eat a heart-healthy diet, low in salt, saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol Manage high blood pressure Avoid excessive amounts of alcohol and caffeine Don’t smoke Control cholesterol Maintain a healthy weight All of these goals aide in the prevention of (reducing the risk for) heart disease, and will help keep your circulatory system in the best condition. Other underlying conditions may need treatment because they can contribute to the onset of AFib: High blood pressure (hypertension)Sleep apnea Thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism)Diabetes Chronic lung disease Other heart conditions ( heart attack, heart valve disease, or heart failure)Family history Obesity What can I do to prevent (reduce my risk for) stroke? The risk of stroke in the AFib patient is as much as 5 times greater than that of the person without the heart disease. Get treated The treatment of AFib is imperative for the prevention of (reducing the risk for) stroke. Know your additional risk factors Some other examples of stroke risk factors are: History of high blood pressure Increased age Previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)Diabetes Heart disease Family history Obesity Smoking Commit to a heart-healthy lifestyle The good news is that up to 80 percent of strokes can be prevented."

Home to some of California's most sought after wineries, the Napa Valley, and its neighboring county, Sonoma, are the state's oldest wine making regions. Wine aficionados should definitely make a trip to the valley where one can taste small production wines, take cave tours, and barrel sample young wine. Napa's also known for its food scene and world-renowned restaurants such as Thomas Keller's The French Laundry. Notable wineries include Chateau Montelena, Stag's Leap, Opus One, Domaine Carneros, and Trinchero Estates. There's no direct public transportation route to Napa, but many bus and limo tours make the hour-long trip north.

Our constant desire for new strains leads breeders to continually cross and re-cross existing strains looking for the next big thing. There is, however, a small but growing contingent of cultivators who’re returning to our cannabis roots and propagating old landrace and heirloom strains. Varieties range from pure African sativas to Afghani indicas, collected by world travelers on the infamous Hippie Trail (also referred to as the “Hashish Trail”). All during the 1970s and early 1980s, cannabis aficionados of all stripes traveled the world smoking the finest cannabis and hashish available. From Nepalese temple balls to the famed Mazar-i-Sharif Afghani Black, the Hashish Trail was filled with exotic delights. The trail rolls on through Lebanese Red to Moroccan Kif, with stops in Bangkok for Chocolate Thai, and Columbia and Mexico for their infamous golden strains. Many of these intrepid souls also collected seeds during their travels."

August 15, 2011The drink, as we know it, became popular in the Sydney coffee scene about ten years ago among the coffee roasting fraternity and soon spread its wings around the country. Only the cool crowd drank piccolos, and the coffee bores annoyed many a café barista about the true definition of this drink. I remember responding to an early coffee forum years ago and was eaten alive by know it all coffee aficionados. Here I go again!Traditionally, a Piccolo Latte is a ristretto shot (15 – 20 ml) topped with warm, silky milk served in a 100 ml glass demitasse (small latte glass) … basically, a baby latte, as the Italian pronunciation suggests. There have been other names for this drink, such as the Spanish version Cataldo, or a Mezzo-Mezzo. I like the Aussie version: the low tide latte. Many Melbournians were nearly experiencing the Piccolo with their own long or stretched Macchiato. Why I think coffee roasters and café owners took up this little favourite is because when you are in the industry, it is hard to drink full size milk coffees all day. Having these little caffeinated milk shots lets you taste your fresh roasted coffee with milk, without the bloated feeling."

C. Country United States The American Federation of Labor ( AFL) was a national federation of labor unions in the United States founded in Columbus, Ohio, in December 1886 by an alliance of craft unions disaffected from the Knights of Labor, a national labor association. Samuel Gompers of the Cigar Makers' International Union was elected president at its founding convention and reelected every year, except one, until his death in 1924. The AFL was the largest union grouping in the United States for the first half of the 20th century, even after the creation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) by unions which were expelled by the AFL in 1935 over its opposition to industrial unionism. The Federation was founded and dominated by craft unions throughout its first fifty years, after which many craft union affiliates turned to organizing on an industrial union basis to meet the challenge from the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1940s. In 1955, the AFL merged with the CIO to create the AFL-CIO, which has comprised the longest lasting and most influential labor federation in the United States to this day.

The American Federation of Labor (AFL) organized as an association of trade unions in 1886. The organization emerged from a dispute with the Knights of Labor (K of L) organization, in which the leadership of that organization solicited locals of various craft unions to withdraw from their International organizations and to affiliate with the K of L directly, an action which would have taken funds from the various unions and enriched the K of L's coffers. [ 1] The Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions also merged into what would become the American Federation of Labor. One of the organizations embroiled in this controversy was the Cigar Makers' International Union (CMIU), a group subject to competition from a dual union, a rival \"\"Progressive Cigarmakers' Union,\"\" organized by members suspended or expelled by the CMIU.

Country United States, Canada Website www .umwa .org The United Mine Workers of America ( UMW or UMWA) is a North American labor union best known for representing coal miners. Today, the Union also represents health care workers, truck drivers, manufacturing workers and public employees in the United States and Canada. [ 1] Although its main focus has always been on workers and their rights, the UMW of today also advocates for better roads, schools, and universal health care. [ 2] By 2014, coal mining had largely shifted to open pit mines in Wyoming, and there were only 60,000 active coal miners. The UMW was left with 35,000 members, of whom 20,000 were coal miners, chiefly in underground mines in Kentucky and West Virginia. However it was responsible for pensions and medical benefits for 40,000 retired miners, and for 50,000 spouses and dependents. [ 3]The UMW was founded in Columbus, Ohio, on January 25, 1890, with the merger of two old labor groups, the Knights of Labor Trade Assembly No. 135 and the National Progressive Miners Union. [ 4] Adopting the model of the American Federation of Labor (AFL), the union was initially established as a three-pronged labor tool: to develop mine safety; to improve mine workers' independence from the mine owners and the company store; and to provide miners with collective bargaining power. After passage of the National Recovery Act in 1933 during the Great Depression, organizers spread throughout the United States to organize all coal miners into labor unions."

Andrew M. Cuomo was scheduled to speak. Photo Credit: Danielle Finkelsteinadvertisement | advertise on newsday ALBANY -- Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's hard-line stances with teachers over performance evaluations and public employees on contracts and pensions have led some unions to decline to endorse him for re-election. Labor unions have been a traditional strength of Democratic candidates for governor, though the relationship is evolving, experts said. And Cuomo is far from being without any union support -- individual private-sector unions, such as those in construction, are expected to endorse him. But the unions that have broken away underscore the trouble the governor is having with some core Democrat supporters and the political left, analysts said, although others note that some voters will view Cuomo's tough stances with unions as a positive.

"text": "\"The Labor Union Movement in America The roots of our country's trade unions extend deep into the early history of America. Several of the Pilgrims arriving at Plymouth Rock in 1620 were working craftsmen. Captain John Smith, who led the ill-fated settlement in 1607 on Virginia's James River, pleaded with his sponsors in London to send him more craftsmen and working people. Primitive unions, or guilds, of carpenters and cordwainers, cabinet makers and cobblers made their appearance, often temporary, in various cities along the Atlantic seaboard of colonial America. Workers played a significant role in the struggle for independence; carpenters disguised as Mohawk Indians were the \"\"host\"\" group at the Boston Tea Party in 1773. The Continental Congress met in Carpenters Hall in Philadelphia, and there the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. In \"\"pursuit of happiness\"\" through shorter hours and higher pay, printers were the first to go on strike, in New York in 1794; cabinet makers struck in 1796; carpenters in Philadelphia in 1797; cordwainers in 1799. In the early years of the 19th century, recorded efforts by unions to improve the workers' conditions, through either negotiation or strike action, became more frequent. By the 1820s, various unions involved in the effort to reduce the working day from 12 to 10 hours began to show interest in the idea of federation-of joining together in pursuit of common objectives for working people. As ineffective as these first efforts to organize may have been, they reflected the need of working people for economic and legal protection from exploiting employers."

AFL-CIO's Trumka to Clinton: Candidates can't hedge bets Union chief warns Tuesday that “no candidate can be all things to all people. ”By GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI and BRIAN MAHONEY04/28/2015 05:50 AM EDTShare on Facebook Share on Twitter The country’s most powerful union leader delivered a speech Tuesday that might best be characterized as a memo to Hillary Clinton, outlining what she must do to earn organized labor’s support and cautioning her against timidity. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka delivered the message that labor isn’t ready to endorse yet — and it won’t “settle for less” than a candidate who meets its criteria. “We call on all of America’s working men and women—Democrat and Republican, white collar, blue collar and no collar—to join us in supporting the candidate who can and will deliver on the American Promise. That is the standard. We will not settle for less,” he said. “ That also means no candidate can be all things to all people and still meet this standard. Standing with working people once in a while won’t work. Candidates can’t hedge bets any longer. “"

"text": "CHICAGO — The Teamsters and a major service employees union on Monday bolted from the AFL-CIO, a stinging exodus for an embattled movement struggling to stop membership losses and adjust to a rapidly changing working environment. In a decision that AFL-CIO President John Sweeney labeled a “grievous insult” to labor’s rank-and-file, the Teamsters union and the Service Employees International Union, two major federation affiliates, said they decided to leave. “In our view, we must have more union members in order to change the political climate that is undermining workers’ rights in this country,” said Teamsters President James P. Hoffa. “ The AFL-CIO has chosen the opposite approach. ”The Teamsters joined the Service Employees International Union, the largest AFL-CIO affiliate with 1.8 million members, in bolting. The SEIU is a union that AFL-CIO President John Sweeney once headed. They said they were forming a competing labor coalition designed to reverse labor’s long decline in union membership. This was not an easy or happy decision, said Service Employees International leader Andrew Stern, once a Sweeney protege. “Our world has changed, our economy has changed, employers have changed,” Stern said. “ But the AFL-CIO is not willing to make fundamental changes as well."

"text": "\"INDUSTRIAL RELATIONSFollow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Yuri Arcurs Industrial relations refers to processes and outcomes involving employment relationships. Frequently the term is used in a narrower sense, for employment relationships involving collective representation of employees in the form of a labor union or employee association, especially in the United States. At the other extreme, industrial relations has been defined by Thomas A. Kochan, in his book Collective Bargaining and Industrial Relations, as \"\"all aspects of people at work,\"\" but there are clearly some aspects of people at work that entail highly technical subjects (e.g., industrial hygiene, ergonomics) which are not normally regarded as falling within the mainstream of industrial relations study. As an academic subject area, industrial relations is often defined as an interdisciplinary field of applied study. This conception recognizes that employment relationships entail practical problems and other phenomena that transcend any one traditional discipline (e.g., economics). To fully appreciate the multifaceted nature of many industrial relations issues, one must draw from a variety of perspectives, including economics, psychology, sociology, political science, and law, among others. For example, employee compensation issues may be usefully addressed in terms of economic theory, but psychological theories offer useful insights on employee attitudes toward and reactions to compensation matters. Whether the nature of industrial relations issues is sufficiently unique to justify considering industrial relations a\"\" true discipline\"\" has been controversial, but most scholars appear to favor the interdisciplinary subject view. Nevertheless, John Dunlop, a key figure in industrial relations theory, continues to argue (in a 1998 article in Advances in Industrial and Labor Relations) for the advantages of \"\"industrial relations systems theory\"\" over other theoretical disciplines (e.g., economics), and contends that industrial relations is a genuine discipline. BACKGROUNDIn The Origins and Evolution of the Field of Industrial Relations in the United States, Bruce E. Kaufman attributed the popularization of the term \"\"industrial relations\"\" to a Commission on Industrial Relations created by the federal government in 1912."

S during the late 19th and entire 20th centuries as well as their role in the development of the U. S. economy. Latino Workers Zaragosa Vargas The employment experiences of Latinos are as varied as this work force's group histories. Latino workers are made up principally of Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Central Americans, the latter mostly from Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. Latino migration to the U. S. is linked to the demand for labor during periods of economic growth. Beginning in the late 19 th century immigration and economic growth became integrally related. The discrimination by employers, Anglo workers, and unions and the U. S. imperial relations with Mexico, Central and Latin America, and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean also frames the history of Latino workers. In spite of hostility, Latino workers since the 19 th century have fought for better wages and working conditions through strike actions and have participated in union leadership and struggled to be recognized by labor unions. Latino workerswill continue to have a tremendous impact on America's work force because by 2050 they will constitute one of every three working-age Americans. [ 1]Latino Workers in the 19th Century Nearly two-thirds of Latino workers are Mexican. Their history is underscored by the military conquest of the Southwest by the U. S. and the subsequent colonization and economic development of the region following the Mexican War (1846-1848)."

August 31, 2005 / Chris Kutalik Enlarge or shrink textlogin or register to comment Post a Comment To get to this year’s heated AFL-CIO convention in Chicago, you had to walk the length of the newly remodeled Navy Pier, past a funhouse complete with a massive maze of mirrors. Watching people lost in confusion inside the maze, it was hard not to think about the tangled mess that was unfolding a hundred yards away. Fallout from the late July departure of three of the AFL-CIO’s largest unions — Service Employees (SEIU), Teamsters (IBT), and United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) — has yet to be sorted out. The new Change to Win Coalition (CTW) and the AFL-CIO continue to react and counter-react to each other’s thrusts and parries. But what is clear is that the drama of the split has generated a good deal more focus, attention, and (more) talk about the depth of the crisis of U. S. unions than the so-called Great Debate about strategy and structure mounted over the last year. Labor activists’ and rank-and-file members’ reactions range from concern or anger about the split’s dangers, to a hope that finally something is going to shake up labor’s out-of-touch leadership, to a simple shrug of the shoulders. Active members report a great deal of buzz about the split, even among members who are not usually interested in union affairs. Dan Campbell, Teamsters Local 200 representative in Milwaukee and a member of Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU), says, \"\"The split has generated more talk about labor then any other in recent memory. You know the Change to Win Coalition has certainly raised right issues."

"text": "The Labor Movement from Industrial Revolution to Now The origin of labor unions dates back to the eighteenth century and the industrial revolution in Europe. During this time there was a huge surge of new workers into the workplace that needed representation. In the United States history of unions, early workers and trade unions played an important part in the role for independence. Although their physical efforts for the cause of independence were ineffective, the ideas they introduced, such as protection for workers, became part of our American culture. The Most Famous Labor Union in History In the history of America's trade and labor unions, the most famous union remains the American Federation of Labor (AFL), founded in 1886 by Samuel Gompers. At its pinnacle, the AFL had approximately 1.4 million members. The AFL is credited with successfully negotiating wage increases for its members and enhancing workplace safety for all workers. The Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) under John L. Lewis and the larger AFL federation underwent a huge expansion during World War II. The AFL-CIO merger occurred in 1955. Union membership and power peaked around 1970."

It was founded as part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1930s and grew rapidly from 1936 to the 1950s. The union played a major role in the liberal wing of the Democratic party under the leadership of Walter Reuther (president 1946-70). It was known for gaining high wages and pensions for auto workers, but it was unable to unionize auto plants built by foreign-based car makers in the South after the 1970s, and it went into a steady decline in membership; reasons for this included increased automation, decreased use of labor, movements of manufacturing (including reaction to NAFTA ), and increased globalization. UAW members in the 21st century work in industries as diverse as autos and auto parts, health care, casino gambling, and higher education. The union is headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. It claims to have more than 391,000 active members and more than 580,000 retired members in over 600 local unions, and claims to hold 1,150 contracts with some 1,600 employers. ["

We see the capitalist class fortifying themselves today behind their Citizens’ Associations and Employers’ Associations in order that they may crush the American labor movement. Let us cast our eyes over to far-off Russia and take heart and courage from those who are fighting the battle there.” — Lucy Parsons, at the founding convention of the IWW, 1905 1To master and to own THE INDUSTRIAL Workers of the World (IWW) occupies a proud place in the tradition of radicalism and labor struggle in the United States. Capturing the imagination of an entire generation of radicals, organizers, socialists, and anti-capitalists of every stripe, it was in many ways a uniquely North American organization, and at its height counted among its members nearly every notable radical and class fighter of its time. Its members included the great leader of the Socialist Party (SP) Eugene Debs, organizer for the Western Federation of Miners Big Bill Haywood, revolutionary journalist John (Jack) Reed, union organizer Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the famous “friend of the Miners” Mother Jones, founder of the Socialist Labor Party Daniel De Leon, leader of the Great Dublin lockout of 1913 and the Easter Uprising James Connolly, founder of the Catholic Worker society Dorothy Day, agitator and wife of Haymarket martyr Lucy Parsons, leader of the packinghouse and steel strikes of 1919 William Z. Foster, and even Helen Keller. The IWW planted the idea of industrial unionism deeply in the politics of the US labor movement, paving the way for the industrial union drives of the CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) in the 1930s. Wobblies 2 participated in some of the first sit-down strikes in US history, and built unions across color and gender lines, from the Philadelphia waterfront to the backwaters of the Jim Crow South. Their belief in industrial unionism was seen as a weapon to be used against the capitalist class, embodied in the quotation from Marx contained in the preamble of the IWW’s constitution: “Instead of the conservative motto of a fair days wage for a fair days work, we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, ‘abolition of the wages system.’” And in the final battle between contending classes, the general strike would be used to break the power of the capitalists and usher in the “cooperative commonwealth.”"

A union works like a democracy holding elections to appoint officers. The union officers are charged with the duty of making decisions beneficial for union participants. The structure of a union is as a locally-based group of employees who obtain a charter from a national-level organization. Employees pay dues to the national union, and in return, the labor union acts as an advocate on the employees' behalf.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search IWW sticker, 1910s The One Big Union was an idea in the late 19th and early 20th centuries amongst trade unionists to unite the interests of workers and offer solutions to all labour problems. Unions initially organised as craft or trade unions. Workers were organised by their skill: carpenters, plumbers, bricklayers, each into their respective unions. Capitalists could often divide craft and trade unionists along these lines in demarcation disputes. As capitalist enterprises and state bureaucracies became more centralised and larger, some workers felt that their institutions needed to become similarly large. A simultaneous disenchantment with the perceived weakness of craft unions caused many unions to organise along industrial lines. As envisioned by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) – which for many years prior to 1919 had been associated with the concept [1] – One Big Union was not just the idea that all workers should be organised into one big union. In the 1911 pamphlet \"\"One Big Union\"\", IWW supporters Father Thomas J. Hagerty and William Trautmann enumerated two goals: One Big Union needed to \"\"combine the wage-workers in such a way that it can most successfully fight the battles and protect the interests of the workers of today in their struggles for fewer hours of toil, more wages and better conditions,\"\" and it also \"\"must offer a final solution of the labor problem—an emancipation from strikes, injunctions, bull-pens, and scabbing of one against the other.\"\" [ 2]One Big Union was the notional organisational concept, while the IWW's revolutionary industrial unionism was the organizing method by which that concept could be realised. \"\" Organizing the One Big Union of all workers the world over\"\" was meant to achieve \"\"working class control.\"\" ["

The Raiders finished the 1967 AFL season at 13–1, and defeated the Houston Oilers, 40–7, in the 1967 AFL Championship Game. As expected, Green Bay dominated Oakland throughout most of Super Bowl II. The Raiders could only score two touchdown passes from quarterback Daryle Lamonica."

[ 1] [2]It determined the NFL's champion, which met the AFL 's champion in Super Bowl II, then formally referred to as the second AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The Dallas Cowboys (9-5), champions of the Eastern Conference, traveled north to meet the Western champion Green Bay Packers (9–4–1), the two-time defending league champions. It was a rematch of the previous year's title game, and pitted two future Hall of Fame head coaches against each other, Tom Landry for the Cowboys and Vince Lombardi for the Packers. Because of the adverse conditions in which the game was played, the rivalry between the two teams, and the game's dramatic climax, it has been immortalized as the Ice Bowl and is considered one of the greatest games in NFL history. Leading up to the 50th Anniversary of the game, NFL Films released an episode of its Timeline series about the events that day and the lasting impact. The episode is narrated and co-produced [3] by filmmaker Michael Meredith, whose father Don Meredith was the QB for the Cowboys that day.

The nickname Gabba derives from the suburb of Woolloongabba, in which it is located. The land on which the ground sits was set aside for use as a cricket ground in 1895 and the first match was held on the site on 19 December 1896, between Parliament and The Press. Prior to this, cricket was played at a ground in the area then known as Green Hills (beside Countess Street Petrie Terrace opposite the Victoria Barracks – now occupied by the Northern Busway ), [3] since at least the early 1860s. [ 4]The Gabba shared first-class cricket matches with the Exhibition Ground until 1931. The first Sheffield Shield match at the Gabba was scheduled to be played between 31 January 1931 and 4 February 1931, but it was washed out without a ball being bowled. The first Test match at the Gabba was played between Australia and South Africa between 27 November and 3 December 1931. Over the years, the Gabba has hosted athletics, Australian rules football, baseball, concerts, cricket, cycling, rugby league, rugby union, soccer and pony and greyhound races. Between 1993 and 2005, the Gabba was redeveloped in six stages at a cost of A$128,000,000."

I don’t mind AFL. A good quality game is fun to watch, and I genuinely enjoy kicking the footy with mates. However, I lack the ‘obsession’ gene that most Melburnians are born with. I lack that pathological fixation on all things AFL. I don’t live the months of March-through-October one weekend at a time. And when my team lose, I don’t take it personally (which is a good thing, since I support Richmond! ) Growing up, my preference for basketball over footy was met with pity, confusion or occasionally contempt. How could I pick a Yankee non-contact game for sissy beanpoles over the roughest, toughest, fastest and most exciting game on earth?

"text": "The AFL-CIO has accused two attorneys of “undermining the rights” of immigrant janitorial workers after their law firm beat a union group at trial. Adam Milasincic and Lizzie Fletcher. courtesy/Facebook Two Houston attorneys vying for state and federal office in the Democratic primary have run afoul of the labor movement. The Texas AFL-CIO has accused the two candidates of being on the wrong side of a 2016 trial pitting a janitorial services company against an international union group. In a letter sent January 13 to Harris County Democratic Party Chairwoman Lillie Schechter, the Texas AFL-CIO said the candidates, who both work at the AZA law firm, were guilty of “undermining the rights and efforts of predominantly immigrant janitorial workers. ”The letter identified the attorneys as Adam Milasincic, an associate at AZA who is a candidate for Texas House District 138, and Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, a partner at the law firm who is running for U. S. Representative John Culberson’s seat in Congressional District 7. Both Milasincic, who is opposed in the primary by Jenifer Rene Pool, and Fletcher, who faces a crowded primary of six other Democrats, have denied the accusations. In December, the two candidates came to The Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation, the Houston arm of the Texas AFL-CIO, to seek the group’s endorsement, president Zeph Capo told the Observer. But after reviewing the case, styled Professional Janitorial Service of Houston v. Service Employees International Union, the group not only declined to endorse Milasincic and Fletcher, it also sent the scathing letter to the local Democratic Party. “ We wanted to make sure we put notice out,” Capo said."

"text": "\"2015 MCG and Etihad Stadium ticketing initiatives December 18, 2014 1:15 PMNewsletter RSSChildren under 15 will get free entry to Sunday games in Melbourne in 2015. The AFL today announced a range of ticketing initiatives centred on increasing affordability and accessibility for fans attending 2015 Toyota AFL Premiership Season matches at the MCG and Etihad Stadium. Key changes - applicable to 2015 MCG and Etihad Stadium matches only - include free entry for children to all Sunday matches, a price freeze on all 2015 General Admission Premiership Season ticket prices, and the removal of fully reserved seat matches and match classifications. Next season’s ticket prices will be determined collaboratively by the AFL and Victorian clubs with prices finalised in early 2015. Fans will again be given the choice of a range of prices to all MCG and Etihad Stadium matches as part of a simplified ticketing model that provides General Admission tickets to every match at both Melbourne metropolitan venues. The key 2015 ticketing changes at the MCG and Etihad Stadium include: Free entry for children (under 15) to all Sunday 2015 Toyota Premiership season matches at the MCG and Etihad Stadium Price freeze on all General Admission tickets (adults $25, concession $17, kids $5 – excluding transaction fee)General Admission prices available at all MCG and Etihad Stadium 2015 Premiership season matches No fully reserved seat matches at the MCG or Etihad Stadium (except Anzac Day) across the 2015 Premiership season Reduced transaction fees for online tickets for Etihad Stadium matches (reduced from $7.00 in 2014 to $2.50 in 2015)Lifting of match classifications at MCG and Etihad Stadium matches New online ticket search tool available on the AFL and club websites Prices set collaboratively by both the AFL and all 18 clubs AFL General Manager Clubs and AFL Operations, Travis Auld, said the changes to next year’s ticketing structure have been designed to make attending AFL matches easier for fans. “ Our research and feedback tells us that this year’s ticketing framework posed a number of problems for those fans attending MCG and Etihad Stadium matches in Victoria, particularly in relation to fully reserved seat matches,” Mr Auld said. “ As a result, next year’s ticketing model is very much a case of going back to basics – the AFL and Clubs are committed to removing as many obstacles as possible for those fans looking to attend AFL matches. “ Fans no longer have to worry about complex match categories and seating maps following the introduction of a new, user-friendly online ticket search tool that will be available next year via the AFL and club websites. “ General admission prices will remain untouched next year and still represent outstanding value compared to all other equivalent sporting and entertainment events."

Created in 1935 by John L. Lewis, who was a part of the United Mine Workers (UMW), it was originally called the Committee for Industrial Organization but changed its name in 1938 when it broke away from the American Federation of Labor.

Roosevelt and the New Deal Coalition, and was open to African Americans. Both the CIO and its rival the AFL grew rapidly during the Great Depression. The rivalry for dominance was bitter and sometimes violent. The CIO (Congress for Industrial Organization) was founded on November 9, 1936, by eight international unions belonging to the American Federation of Labor. In its statement of purpose, the CIO said it had formed to encourage the AFL to organize workers in mass production industries along industrial union lines."

Peter Ryan and Matt Thompson chat about the AFL's salary data God Coast champion Gary Ablett is understood to be among the AFL's two million-dollar earners in 2014Related Should player salaries be made public? THE AFL'S most exclusive club now has even fewer members after just two players earned more than $1 million in 2014. The number of players in the league's top bracket of earners fell for the second successive season, going from a high of eight in 2012, to five in 2013, to just two in 2014. However a record 78 players earned more than $500,000 in 2014, driven largely by a sharp increase in the number of players earning between $500,000 and $700,000 a season (41 in 2013 to 57 in 2014). The AFL did not disclose the names of its million-dollar men, but industry sources contacted by AFL.com.au believe Gold Coast superstar Gary Ablett remained a $1-million-a-year player in the fourth season of his five-year contract. Hot topics: Should player wages be made public? Lance 'Buddy' Franklin, who signed what was understood to be a record $10 million, nine-year contract to join the Sydney Swans in 2014, is not expected to earn $1 million a year until 2016 as his contract was heavily back-ended. The other player in the million-dollar club is difficult to predict, with the different weighting of lucrative long-term contracts making industry assessments speculative at best. Greater Western Sydney signed three players – Callan Ward, Tom Scully and Phil Davis – on long-term contracts that are understood to have earned those players million-dollar pay packets in individual years since the contracts began in 2012."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from History of National Football League Championship)navigation search Throughout its history, the National Football League (NFL) and other rival American football leagues have used several different formats to determine their league champions, including a period of inter-league matchups determining a true world champion. Following its founding in 1920, the NFL first determined champions through end-of-season standings, but switched to a playoff system in 1933. The rival All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and American Football League (AFL) have since merged with the NFL (the only two AAFC teams that currently exist joined the NFL in 1950 —the Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers ), but AAFC championship games and records are not included in NFL record books. [ 1] [2] The AFL began play in 1960 and, like its rival league, used a playoff system to determine its champion. From 1966 – 1969 prior to the merger in 1970, the NFL and the AFL agreed to hold an ultimate championship game, first called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game and later renamed the Super Bowl after 1968. Following the merger in 1970, the Super Bowl name continued as the game to determine the NFL champion. The most important factor of the merger was that all ten AFL teams joined the NFL in 1970 and every AFL championship game and record is included in NFL record books. The old NFL Championship Game became the NFC Championship Game, while the old AFL Championship Game became the AFC Championship Game. The NFL lists the old AFL/NFL championship games with \"\"new\"\" AFC/NFC championship games in its record books. The Green Bay Packers have won the most championships with 13 total (9 NFL championships pre-merger, four (4) Super Bowl championships)."

"text": "\"THE chances of teenage hopefuls reaching the heights of AFL football may be decided before they pull on their first pair of boots - baby boots, that is. Data collected by Adelaide sports doctor Geoffrey Verrall and AFL sports scientist Jamie Hepner suggest genetics play a bigger part in achieving a top-level football career than skill or desire. Using AFL statistics, they noted the height of the 562 rookies selected in AFL national drafts between 2004 and 2010. They found those shorter than 180cm could just about forget trying for a place in the elite league - unless they happened to be an indigenous or Pacific Islander player, who thrive on leg speed and lightning reflexes. But just 88 (16.4 per cent) of the 535 non-indigenous/islander recruits over the seven years stood less than 183cm (6ft). But 85 per cent (23) of the 27 indigenous/islander draftees (4.8 per cent of recruits) were shorter than the critical 183cm mark. The findings indicate the AFL is definitely a tall man's game - unless, of course, a player has blistering pace or unique skills. Some exceptions came through during the study - including Geelong champion Joel Selwood (182cm), Adelaide's Richard Douglas (180cm), Hawk Paul Puopolo (175cm) and Tom Scully (181cm) of GWS but, generally, white Australian males must be tall (about 188cm) to make it in the AFL, the report showed. \"\" There is a statistical association between being Aboriginal or Pacific Islander and being a smaller player - less than 183cm - selected in the AFL national draft,\"\" said Dr Verrall, Norwood's club medic from 1997-09 and now with the Adelaide 36ers. \"\" Very few elite-level football players who have played over 50 to 100 games are white and less than 183cm. \"\""

The Titans compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the American Football Conference (AFC) South division. Previously known as the Houston Oilers, the team began play in 1960 in Houston, Texas, as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL). The Oilers won the first two AFL Championships, and joined the NFL as part of the AFL–NFL merger in 1970. The team relocated from Houston to Tennessee in 1997, and played at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis for one season. The team then moved to Nashville in 1998 and played in Vanderbilt Stadium. For those two years, they were known as the \"\"Tennessee Oilers\"\", but changed their name to \"\"Tennessee Titans\"\" for the 1999 season. The team currently plays at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, which opened in 1999 as Adelphia Coliseum. The Titans' training facility is at Saint Thomas Sports Park, a 31-acre (13 ha) site at the Metro Center complex in Nashville.

"text": "\"Print Email Facebook Twitter More Comments (58)Opinion Why did Essendon alone take the fall? The Drum By Tracey Holmes Posted 17 Oct 2013, 7:18pm Thu 17 Oct 2013, 7:18pm Photo: Essendon suffered the biggest penalties and suspensions ever handed down by the AFL Commission. The AFL must explain why Essendon was singled out for unprecedented penalties when other clubs have now been revealed as having supplement programs of their own, writes Tracey Holmes. Far be it for people to suggest that while the biggest scandal to hit the AFL was unfolding, it was furiously sweeping the rest of its dirt under the carpet. This week the controllers of Australia's 'Indigenous code', as they refer to themselves, had a real spring clean. With all of the heavyweights on a tour of Ireland with an actual Indigenous team, a story without fanfare made its way onto the AFL website. It stated:12 clubs conducted programs with medium or high levels of supplement use and lacked a single point of accountability. That's '12 clubs'. Not 'one' club. Not 'Essendon'."

Three years ago an Aflac representative came to our workplace and convinced us all how much we needed Aflac. So I signed up, for short term disability and accident, even paid extra for one day pay. Well the representative who sold us everything up and quit, and we all got letters in the mail saying our policies were cancelled for nonpayment... What??? Our money was coming out of our checks. Well apparently the Aflac representative messed up paperwork with Piedmont who takes money out of our check and pays AFLAC, or at least is supposed to, they weren't. So another representative joins the company and shows up at my work, and says he is going to fix everything. So as far as we know he does.

The company signed 6,000 policyholders within the first year. The company pioneered cancer insurance in 1958. This supplemental insurance was designed to cover expenses not covered by traditional insurance, including travel and loss of income. In 1964 the company decided to focus on sales through the workplace, eventually through policies sponsored by employers and funded through payroll deductions. The same year the company changed its name to American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (AFLAC). By 1971 Aflac was operating in 42 states. In the 1970’s Aflac expanded to Japan. In the 1980’s the company diversified into television and radio stations."

Your company will have specifics on what they cover (most are paid) but 99% of the time short term disability is coupled with FMLA leave. You are correct, the FMLA law allows up to 12 weeks unpaid job protection leave for you by law. Check with your human resources group or your manager regarding going negative in your paid time off hours, some companies will allow you to do that, in fact I will have to do that. I will take short term disability and take off as long as my doctor prescribes (typically 6-8 weeks). Our STD is 75% covered and I will use the rest of my paid time off to cover the difference, only problem is that our fiscal year ends June 1st so I can only carry over 40 hours, resulting in about 20 hours that need to be made up. Most of it will by that time but by my company allowing me to go \"\"negative\"\" in my PTO bank, my entire leave will be paid."

"title": "https://www.benefitfocus.com/blogs/benefitfocus/passive-active-open-enrollment\nIs Your Open Enrollment Passive or Active?",
"text": "For most HR and benefits professionals, open enrollment is the busiest time of year – which means that it's anything but passive. While a 2011 study reported that a majority of companies (71 percent) opt for passive enrollment, new regulatory requirements combined with rising healthcare costs have employers switching to active enrollment to actively engage employees in their benefits decisions. Passive enrollment allows employees to roll over their benefits from the previous year, without requiring them to assess their plan options or learn more about their benefits. Active enrollment requires employees to choose an enrollment plan, regardless of their coverage from the previous year. While on the surface a passive enrollment might seem like the easier choice, it could lead to higher costs if employees don't select plans that fit their changing needs and don't understand how to use their benefits correctly. HR teams who choose a passive open enrollment also often miss the opportunity to build employee loyalty by highlighting the advantages of their company's benefits package. Here are some key considerations when choosing between a passive and active enrollment: Financial Impact of Benefits Decisions:42 percent of employees estimate they waste up to $750 a year because of errors they make with their insurance benefits (Aflac)Consumer-directed health plans cost large employers 21% less than PPOs and 25% less than HMOs in 2014 (Mercer)Employee Engagement: Less than half of employees strongly agreed that their company’s benefit communications helped them to understand how much they would pay for specific services and effectively educated them on benefits. ( Metlife)Employees who find their benefits communications effective are more than twice as likely to say they are very loyal to their company. ( Metlife)Recruitment & Retention:78 percent of workers, including millennials, Gen Xers and boomers, base their acceptance or rejection of a job offer in part on the benefits package. ( Unum)Employees who are very satisfied with their benefits are almost four times more likely to be very satisfied with their jobs. ("

Check the policy document; it might have described the process of cancelling a plan. And, since the policy is through your employment, the HR department at you job may also be able to assist you in cancelling it. BTW, have you looked for replacement coverage or just decided to go without insurance? Lemme tell you though it seems hard to maintain insurance at the given market condition, but its never wise to stay uninsured. Therefore, try to get replacement policy before you cancel this one.

Consumer Reviews and Complaints Sort: Recent Filter by: Any Kerri of Acushnet, MA Verified Reviewer Original review: April 4, 2018Extremely disappointed in the service of Colonial Life STD. I submitted a claim for a medical necessity. I had to have a hysterectomy back in February 2018. I’ve spoken with at least a dozen or so reps and one person will tell me that my claim is being processed then the next day I would call to see why they have yet to process my claim and was told they are unable to locate all my medical records that were sent. Every day it is a different story with the reps. I ask to speak with a supervisor and still get the runaround. I feel at this point I am just being dragged through the mud. I have 3 children and a mortgage to pay for... This wasn’t some elective surgery this was medically necessary. I was told that they will not compensate me the time I was out due to being a pre-existing condition within the first year. However, I was diagnosed after applying with ovarian cysts which needed to be removed as well."

To help businesses comply with this requirement, Aflac has outlined the details you need to know: Who is required to submit information reporting of minimum essential coverage? Among those required to submit information reporting of minimum essential coverage are: Self-funded employers Insurers Note: Applicable large employers that self-fund their health care are also required to submit employer sponsored coverage reporting to the IRS. To learn more, see Employer-Sponsored Coverage to the IRS Information Reporting. What does the report include? Employers are required to submit a separate report for each individual health care recipient on Forms 1095-B and 1094-B that specifically provides: The name of each individual enrolled in minimum essential coverage, and the name and address of the primary insured or other related person (for example, a parent or spouse) who submits the application for coverage. The return also must report the taxpayer identification number (TIN) and months of coverage for each individual who is covered under the policy or program. The name, address and employer identification number (EIN) of the employer maintaining the plan and whether coverage was enrolled in through the government marketplace.

"text": "Business & Finance Insurance How much does aflac pay for short term disability (maternity)? ? I am considering getting short term disability coverage, but I wanted to know if it is really worth it?) Is it really going to be enough to help me with the bills? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: When you get your individual disability policy through AFLAC, you will be able to choose the benefit amount you would receive while on claim. Of course, the higher the benefit you choose, the higher the premiums you will pay. Pregnancy is always covered under a disability policy - I have never heard of anything different. Please be aware that almost all AFLAC policies have a preexisting condition clause, which your pregnancy would fall under. Generally, you are not able to use your benefits until at least a year has passed. Good luck!Source (s): Disability Claim Analyst Aunt Paddy · 10 years ago0 0 Comment You have to wait 10 months and then you qualify for maternity disability (6 weeks for non-ceserean and 8 weeks for ceserean). So, you can t be pregnant when you apply, but you can get pregnant a month after and qualify as long you time it right and go full term."

The company signed 6,000 policyholders within the first year. The company pioneered cancer insurance in 1958. This supplemental insurance was designed to cover expenses not covered by traditional insurance, including travel and loss of income. In 1964 the company decided to focus on sales through the workplace, eventually through policies sponsored by employers and funded through payroll deductions. The same year the company changed its name to American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus (AFLAC). By 1971 Aflac was operating in 42 states. In the 1970’s Aflac expanded to Japan. In the 1980’s the company diversified into television and radio stations."

"text": "\"Business & Finance Insurance What is the commission structure for AFLAC? I have just completed my life and health exam and I have an offer to work with them. I wanted to know if anyone could explain the commission structure to me. Thank you!Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I am an agent for AFLAC so I can help you a little. It depends on what state you are in and the policy you are writing. In Virginia, you get approximately 60% of policy the whole year. But you get only 33% of it upfront once the policy is issued. The rest of the 60% you get throughout the 11 months of the year. Make sure they make the first payment. If not the up front money will count against you and all of your advances will be used to cover that."

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It's going to depend heavily on how fast the hospital confirms the information you submitted. It will probably be 3 - 8 weeks. Anonymous · 4 years ago0 1 Comment I know this is old, but for anyone else still looking for this.... I get aflac through work, and we have an aflac rep that helps us with it, you should find out who your rep is (it was on my literature I got when I signed up) and call them. Our rep is extremely helpful. The website had some information incorrect on my account.

"text": "Our company's history began more than six decades ago with the idea of principal founder John Amos and his brothers, Paul and Bill Amos, who saw a need for financial protection when a medical situation occurs. As Aflac continues to evolve as a company, we maintain the spirit of our founders by keeping our commitment of putting policyholders first1955 – 1969: A Time of Vision1955American Family Life Insurance Company of Columbus was founded on Nov. 17, when principal founder John Amos and his brothers Paul and Bill Amos started in a small six-room complex in downtown Columbus, Georgia. The company began with just 16 employees and 60 agents. After its first year of operation, American Family Life Insurance Company had over 6,400 policyholders and $388,000 in assets.1958American Family Life pioneered the introduction of a cancer policy after identifying the need to lift the financial burden of cancer patients and their families.1964American Family Life began “cluster selling,” which involved selling our cancer products at the work site in addition to selling directly to individuals. The company became American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus – a name change that would later set Aflac up for one of the most groundbreaking advertising campaigns in history. The 1970s: A Decade of Expansion1970American Family Life expands from a small regional company into a rapidly growing national insurer licensed in 37 states.1974Oct. 1 – American Family Life went international and began selling insurance in Japan, becoming just the third U. S. company to do so. Within the first year, the company had written $25 million in premiums. June 14 – That same year, American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), with AFL opening at $7.25 per share.1975To accommodate the incredible growth, American Family Life employees excitedly moved into the $7.1 million, fully paid-for, 19-story headquarters office building. The 1980s: A Decade of Momentum The 1980s continued our momentum as we developed our strategy of broadening our product line and expanding our distribution system.1982The company reached another milestone by increasing its total assets to over $1 billion.1984Aflac U. S. introduced an accident policy and a first-occurrence benefit to the cancer policy."

The company’s original name was the American Family Life Insurance Company of Columbus, and it focused only on life insurance sales, ultimately selling 6,426 policies its first year of business.

In its first year of operation, Aflac had 6,426 policyholders and $388,000 in assets. Today, Aflac is a Fortune 500 company listed on the New York Stock Exchange with over $59 billion. Wiki Says Aflac Inc. is the largest provider of supplemental insurance in the United States. It was founded in 1955 and it's based in Columbus, Georgia. In the United States, Aflac underwrites a range of insurance policies, but is mostly known for its payroll deduction insurance coverage, which pays cash benefits when a policyholder has an accident or illness. In Japan, the company is the second largest overall insurer, largest life insurer and well known for its supplemental medical policies. Since 2000, the company's identity has become more widely recognized as the result of commercials featuring the Aflac Duck, who quacks the company's name in frustration to prospective policyholders. AFLAC's brand has developed wide recognition with commercials starring the famous Aflac Duck (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried and created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop) on television which started airing in December 1999. The duck concept and all of the commercials to date have been created by Kaplan Thaler Group, an advertising agency based in New York City."

"text": "What's all the quacking about? You may have health and motorcycle insurance, but is that enough? We�ve all heard the old clich� about there being only two types of riders: those who have crashed and those that will. Whether this is true or not, it points to an obvious fact of riding a motorcycle: motorcycling is an inherently risky mode of transportation, especially when compared to commuting while surrounded by three thousand pounds of steel (okay, mostly plastic these days, but you get my point). If you�re lucky, you have quality health insurance, and if you�re smart you will have plenty of motorcycle insurance, but is that enough? There are a number of riders who have no health insurance, some with just catastrophe cover (i.e. $1,500 deductible) and even if you do have full insurance there is surely some sort of deductible you'll need to pony up along the way. Health insurance will hopefully cover your hospital bills, and motorcycle insurance may fix your bike or any damage you happen to inflict to other persons and property. But, what would you do if you couldn�t pay your bills or work for a week, a month or even a year? This is where a personal accident indemnity plan, such as the one offered by AFLAC, comes into play. So, what is that duck quacking about in all those commercials?"

Complications of pregnancy (hope you don't have any) are covered like a standard illness would be in your plan, subject to your waiting periods and so on. Note, bed rest without a medical classification is not considered a complication. Most people have the Aflac Short Term individual plans so a lot of the information by another post, I doubt seriously comes into play. Group is normally reserved to very large businesses. Possible, not probable since you were aware of the 10 month clause. After delivery the plans pay 5 weeks (6 less a waiting week) and 7 for a c-section."

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: When you get your individual disability policy through AFLAC, you will be able to choose the benefit amount you would receive while on claim. Of course, the higher the benefit you choose, the higher the premiums you will pay. Pregnancy is always covered under a disability policy - I have never heard of anything different. Please be aware that almost all AFLAC policies have a preexisting condition clause, which your pregnancy would fall under. Generally, you are not able to use your benefits until at least a year has passed. Good luck!Source (s): Disability Claim Analyst Aunt Paddy · 10 years ago0 0 Comment You have to wait 10 months and then you qualify for maternity disability (6 weeks for non-ceserean and 8 weeks for ceserean). So, you can t be pregnant when you apply, but you can get pregnant a month after and qualify as long you time it right and go full term."

You would have to study and obtain your license to sell in your state. This would be at your expense as there is no requirement you work with Aflac.

Thank you all for your comments both good and bad. I'd like to point out that the lack of service in certain areas of this company does disturb me and I have made alot of headway in righting wrongs from that lack of service. Please keep in mind that the concept behind AFLAC benifits and the what the company does stand for is right on track with how every corporation America should do business. Right before 9/11 we started enrolling the firefighters in New York. Well being as huge as the New York fire department is we had to start from the outskirts of the city and work our way in. As a result we did not get to the central stations who happened to be the first responders that day to the towers. Well Dan Amos, top dog at AFLAC, decided to pay death benifits to all the fire fighters who lost there lives that day just because it was the right thing to do. I'll follow that kind of leadership. In the Japan catostrophe many bodies were swept out to see and never recovered."

"text": "If you’ve ever experienced an injury or illness requiring a hospital stay, you know just how expensive it can be – even after major medical insurance pays its share. Hospital inpatient care accounts for nearly one-third of U. S health care costs: The average length of a hospital stay is 4.5 days at an average cost of $10,400 per stay. 1The sky-high cost of hospitalization is driving a growing need for voluntary hospital indemnity insurance. What is hospital indemnity insurance? A voluntary hospital confinement indemnity insurance policy is one of many plans employers can make available to help workers cope with costs associated with a hospital stay. These policies help with costs major medical may not pay. In the event of hospitalization, participants receive cash benefits, unless otherwise assigned, that can be used to help pay daily living expenses, such as rent, gas, groceries, utilities and other necessities. Benefits are predetermined and are paid regardless of any other insurance in place. It’s important to note that while some hospital indemnity plans provide only hospitalization benefits, other plans may be more far-reaching and provide benefits for diagnostic procedures, outpatient surgery and transportation by ambulance. Hospital indemnity insurance is becoming more popular as employers implement consumer-driven health care plans."

Cunha, DO, FACOEPLast reviewed on Rx List 10/19/2016Afluria ( influenza virus vaccine) is a \"\"killed virus\"\" vaccine used to prevent infection caused by the influenza virus. The vaccine is redeveloped each year to contain specific strains of inactivated (killed) flu virus recommended by public health officials for that year. Common side effects of Afluria include:injection site reactions that may last for 1-2 days (pain, redness, bruising, swelling, or a lump),fever,chills,muscle aches,joint pain,headache,fatigue,tired feeling,weakness, orfussiness or crying in children. Infrequently, temporary symptoms such as:fainting,dizziness,lightheadedness,vision changes,numbness or tingling, orseizure -like movements have happened after vaccine injections such as Afluria. Tell your doctor if you have these symptoms soon after receiving Afluria. The dosage of Afluria is 0.5-m L intramuscular injection administered preferably in the upper arm. Children aged 5 to 8 years should receive 2 doses of vaccine, 4 weeks apart, if they have not been vaccinated previously with any influenza virus vaccine. Afluria may interact with phenytoin (Dilantin), theophylline (Respbid, Slo-Bid, Theodur, Uniphyl), blood thinners (warfarin, Coumadin), steroids, medications to treat or prevent organ transplant rejection, and medications to treat psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other autoimmune disorders. Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you take. During pregnancy, Afluria should be used only when prescribed."

It is important to recognize when pharmaceutical products have not been stored according to the manufacturer's specifications and take appropriate action. Depending on the product, lot number and expiration date, time of exposure to temperatures outside of the recommended range and actual temperature of exposure, some medications may be deemed suitable for administration while others should be discarded. The following chart provides general guidelines for the room temperature stability of common medications and vaccines which are stored in the refrigerator or freezer. However, if a pharmaceutical product has not been stored according to the recommended conditions, it is important to contact the manufacturer and provide the specifics (lot number, expiration date, exposure temperature, length of time) to determine if the product is viable.

Virtually all other invasive medical interventions occur only once someone has fallen ill. Vaccination, like most medical treatments, can involve some risk. And therefore it should be undertaken only after careful consideration of its risks versus its benefits. The dangers of vaccines are real, can be substantial and life-long, and for some, life ending. Additionally vaccines:have not been subject to toxicity studies for many of the ingredients such as aluminum and mercury, which are known neurotoxinshave not been studied for adverse effects in the combinations in which they’re given (multiple shots in a single day for infants and children)cannot be guaranteed to provide the benefit of immunity for which they are givenare used to “prevent” benign childhood diseases, diseases which actually “teach” the immune system how to work properly Vaccines are “unavoidably unsafe” and contain “unavoidable” viruses, phages (viruses that infect bacteria), and contaminants. No other drug or medical product is similarly manufactured – if contaminants are found in them, the product is recalled. The FDA even recalls food when contaminants are found. Some of the viruses contaminating vaccines have a known effect, as in the case of the simian virus SV-40 that causes cancer (see Cross-Species Contamination below). Other effects are unknown."

Related to injection: subcutaneous injectioninjection [ in-jek´shun] 1. congestion.2. the forcing of a liquid into a part, as into the subcutaneous tissues, the vascular tree, or an organ.3. a substance so forced or administered; in pharmacy, a solution of a medicament suitable forinjection. Immunizing substances, or inoculations, are generally given by injection. Some medicinescannot be given by mouth because chemical action of the enzymes and digestive fluids wouldchange or reduce their effectiveness, or because they would be removed from the body tooquickly to have any effect. Occasionally a medication is injected so that it will act more quickly. In addition to the most common types of injections described below, injections are sometimesmade into arteries, bone marrow, the spine, the sternum, the pleural space of the chest region,the peritoneal cavity, and joint spaces."

Aetna considers high-dose injectable influenza vaccine (Fluzone High-Dose) a medically necessary preventive service for members age 65 years of age or older when influenza immunization is recommended by the member's doctor. Aetna considers intradermal influenza vaccine a medically necessary preventive service for members 18 to 64 years of age when influenza immunization is recommended by the member's doctor. Aetna considers intradermal influenza vaccine experimental and investigational for all other indications because its effectiveness for indications other than the one listed above has not been established. Aetna considers intranasally administered influenza vaccine experimental and investigational. The Centers for Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends against use of intranasally administered influenza vaccine during the 2016-2017 influenza season. See also CPB 0476 - Influenza Rapid Diagnostic Tests. Background Influenza viruses (\"\"the flu\"\") infect the respiratory tract. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headache, muscle aches, and extreme fatigue. Influenza viruses continually change over time, and each year the vaccine is updated to include the viruses that are most likely to circulate in the upcoming influenza season."

Air Force graphic)PRINT | E-MAILRelated Stories AF releases new guidance on civilian hiring freeze ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --The Air Force has released a list of frequently asked questions concerning the current civilian hiring freeze. They are: Q. What impact will the freeze have on the force? A. The impact of this freeze will likely be felt over time as personnel retire and separate from the Air Force. However, the Secretary of Defense has delegated limited authority to the Secretary of the Air Force to exempt some positions that meet criteria to uphold National Security or Public Safety. On Feb.7, the Air Force released instructions to request exemptions for Sec AF approval, and will work quickly to process to mitigate risk to readiness. Q. Does the hiring freeze include all civilian positions within the Air Force, even NAF positions? A. Yes, the Presidential Memorandum places limitations on the hiring of Federal civilian employees, and applies to all executive departments and agencies, including civilian employees across the Department of the Air Force. The Presidential Memorandum does not impact military personnel. The Do D guidance states that this “impacts all Department of Defense positions, regardless of funding source. ”Q. How long is the hiring freeze in effect?"

[ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Location2 History3 Benjamin Hanby and Africa, Ohio4 Africa today5 Bibliography6 References Location [ edit]Africa is adjacent to the Alum Creek State Park, an Ohio recreation area, on Africa Road, which roughly follows the Underground Railroad route that escaping slaves took before the American Civil War. Africa began as Orange Station, and some early accounts described the area as the \"\"East Orange Post Office.\"\" Orange Station at one time had a post office, a general store, and a saloon. History [ edit]Africa is named after the Underground Railroad and is thought to be the only town in the world named after the Underground Railroad. Its first church is thought to have been a Methodist church that was established on the east side of Alum Creek in approximately 1828. In 1843, the slavery question separated its congregation. The antislavery portion organized the Wesleyan Church on the east side of Alum Creek. The first services were held in a cabin on the Alum Creek flats near the Patterson residence. In 1876, members of the congregation built a church, located in present-day Africa."

Some countries have a de facto capital and an administrative capital. The capitals vary widely in size, the largest African city is Cairo, with an estimated population of 17 million living in its metropolitan area. Maseru, Lesotho's capital has a population of 14,000. African capitals are not necessarily the largest cities in their respective countries nor the most populated. Nigeria is a good example. Lagos is a city of almost 8 million people whereas the official capital, Abuja, has a population of just 700,000. Many of Africa's capitals are generally not places of interest for the average tourist."

By Sudarsan Raghavan December 7, 2013 Email the author JOHANNESBURG — Less than 10 miles from Nelson Mandela’s opulent home, where thousands are gathering every day to pay tribute, is another house once inhabited by the anti-apartheid icon. This one has only one room, no toilet, no running water, and is in the heart of one of the city’s poorest and most politically volatile enclaves, Alexandra. There are no mourners singing and dancing outside, no people of all colors waving South African flags. Trash is strewn out front, near a few bouquets of flowers left by neighbors. Drunks stagger around in the afternoon. But in this forgotten corner, there’s a sense of overwhelming pride. The house was Mandela’s first residence after he left his ancestral village of Qunu in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province in 1941 for Johannesburg, where he eventually launched his career as a lawyer — a journey that will come full circle next weekend when he is buried in Qunu. The house was the anchor of a crucial chapter of Mandela’s life, when he evolved from an heir of a tribal kingdom to revolutionary leader. By his own account, Mandela spent some of his happiest days in Alexandra."

These are some of their stories — laced with hope, tragedy, homesickness and triumph. By MICHAEL PAULSON NOV. 15, 2017JOHANNESBURG — Fumane Moeketsi bent her knees into a crouch, threw her hands up in the air, and tore into the opening notes of a musical she has never seen. It was the fourth time in five years that Ms. Moeketsi, the deep-voiced 23-year-old daughter of a platinum miner from a tiny village in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, had tried out to play Rafiki, the oracular mandrill, in “The Lion King. ”She had stood in line for open auditions with hundreds of other hopefuls, and waited by the phone for callbacks that never came. She had mastered English (her first language is Sesotho) and memorized “Circle of Life” (she can’t read music). She had claimed a dormitory roof-deck here as her makeshift rehearsal room — a space where she could sing to the sky, without bothering her neighbors. Finally, on the last day of May, Ms. Moeketsi found herself in front of a row of folding tables occupied by “The Lion King” global brain trust, including the show’s award-winning director, Julie Taymor, and, hovering anxiously along a wall, Duma Ndlovu, the South African casting consultant."

On the other hand, the lake relies on a dam for its existence. The old concrete bridge at the dam has the date 1911 on it. The marker calls it “Atco Lake Bridge.” The lake obviously pre-dates 1911. Many people can say “I swam there” or fished or boated. Some remember the swimming beach and dance pavilion. On George W. Hancock’s “Map of Atco,” the lake has approximately the same shape as at present or would if the water level increased. The Longacoming-Waterford Road (now Route 30) appears to cross the Hays Mill Creek on a bridge, rather than through a ford."

During construction, drivers will be directed to follow a detour along Route 233 to a temporary road on Rocky Mountain Road (DCNR access) to Route 30. A temporary traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Route 30 (Lincoln Way East) and Route 233 (Rocky Mountain Road and Pine Grove Road) to assist with the movement of traffic. The new bridge should reopen in late May. This bridge is referred to as JV-248 and is one out of the 558 bridges being replaced under the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project. JV references the joint-venture partnership between Walsh/Granite, which is leading construction for the entire project. The Rapid Bridge Replacement Project is a public-private partnership (P3) between Penn DOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP), under which PWKP will finance, design, replace, and maintain the bridges for 25 years. The P3 approach will allow Penn DOT to replace the bridges more quickly while achieving significant savings and minimizing impact on motorists."

Originally focused on the slums of London and Manhattan in the 19th century, slum tourism is now becoming increasingly prominent in many places, including South Africa, India, Brazil, Kenya, Indonesia, North America, and others.

In London, people visited slum neighborhoods such as Whitechapel or Shoreditch in order to observe life in this situation. By 1884 wealthier people in New York City began to visit the Bowery and the Five Points area of the Lower East Side, neighborhoods of poor immigrants, to see \"\"how the other half lives\"\". [ 4]In the 1980s in South Africa, black residents organized township tours to educate the whites in local governments on how the black population lived. Such tours attracted international tourists, who wanted to learn more about apartheid.

This settlement had to be abandoned because of clashes with the local tribes. They founded a new town in 1886 and named it Pietersburg in honour of Voortrekker leader Petrus Jacobus Joubert. The British built a concentration camp at Pietersburg during the Boer War to house almost 4,000 Boer women and children. The town officially became a city on 23 April 1992; on 25 February 2005, the government declared the official name of the city as Polokwane, a name that was generally in use by the speakers of Northern Sotho. The city was the site of the ANC national conference which saw Jacob Zuma take over as head of the party.

Most of the struggle against apartheid was fought in and from Soweto. The name Soweto is an acronym, made up - in apartheid days - from the first letters of the words “south western township”. Soweto is inhabited by over two million people, with homes ranging from extravagant mansions to makeshift shacks. Soweto is a city of enterprise and cultural interaction. It is a popular tourist destination with sites such as Kliptown (where the Freedom Charter was drawn up), the home of former President Nelson Mandela, the Hector Petersen Memorial site, restaurants and shopping malls. It boasts one of the largest hospitals on the continent and the only African-owned private clinic (see Soweto Map ). Soweto is a sprawling township, or more accurately, a cluster of townships on the south-western flank of Johannesburg. Soweto was created in the 1930s, with Orlando the first township established. In the 1950s, more black people were relocated there from 'black spots' in the inner city - black neighbourhoods which the apartheid government had reserved for whites."

At that time Mary consulted many resources which led to the discovery of over 500 cemeteries in Gallia County. The Ohio Genealogical Society cemetery project chair has told us that so far Gallia County has reported more cemeteries than any other county in Ohio. Mary consulted old lists compiled by such groups as the DAR, State Highway Patrol, Soldiers' Burials and a WPA listing as well as topographical maps. She also used Mrs. Anna Zimmerman's notes. Anna was well-known throughout the county for her genealogical efforts. Mary also used newspaper obits and spoke with residents, farmers, hunters who knew the land, as well as funeral home directors. One local funeral home director, Bud Stevers, was very valuable with his advice and help. The cemeteries and their directions are a result of this work.

NY1 stood for \"\"Native Yard 1\"\", [3] Gugulethu at the time not having been named as such and being considered simply as an extension of the adjoining township of Nyanga. There has been strong pressure for the NY terminology to be dropped and for the streets to be renamed. This resulted in the City of Cape Town renaming NY1 as Steve Biko Drive in September 2012. The renaming process continues and the City recently announced that streets will be named after, amongst others, Albert Luthuli, Amy Biehl, Ray Alexander and the \"\"Gugulethu Seven\"\" (the latter being a group who were fatally ambushed by security police in Gugulethu in 1986).

As frightening as those statistics are the risks of getting those diseases are even higher for African-Americans. The good news is, African-Americans can improve their odds of preventing and beating these diseases by understanding the risks and taking simple steps to address them. “Get checked, then work with your medical professional on your specific risk factors and the things that you need to do to take care of your personal health,” said Winston Gandy, M. D., a cardiologist and chief medical marketing officer with the Piedmont Heart Institute in Atlanta and a volunteer with the American Heart Association. High blood pressure, obesity and diabetes are the most common conditions that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Here’s how they affect African-Americans and some tips to lower your risk. High Blood Pressure The prevalence of high blood pressure in African-Americans is the highest in the world. Also known as hypertension, high blood pressure increases your risk of heart disease and stroke, and it can cause permanent damage to the heart before you even notice any symptoms, that's why it is often referred to as the \"\" silent killer .\"\" Not only is HBP more severe in blacks than whites, but it also develops earlier in life."

OLDSTONEOxford University Press Read the Review A GENERAL INTRODUCTIONIndividual viruses have evolved interesting and unique lifestyles. One consequence is that battles have been won or lost when a particular virus infected one army but not its adversaries. Viruses have depleted the native populations of several continents. Entire countries have been changed geographically, economically, and religiously as a result of sweeping virus infections that were impervious to known cures. Smallpox alone, in the twentieth century, has killed an estimated 300 million individuals, about threefold as many persons as all the wars of this century (1). In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, smallpox killed emperors of Japan and Burma, as well as kings and queens of Europe, thereby altering dynasties, control of countries, and alliances (2). Earlier, the successful conquest of Mexican Aztec and Peruvian Inca empires by a handful of Spanish conquistadors led by Hernando Cortes and Francisco Pizarro, respectively, resulted in large part from epidemics of smallpox and measles virus infection that decimated the native defenders. Most of the conquistadors had been exposed to these viruses in Europe, so were immune to (protected from) their effects, but those of the New World were completely vulnerable. In fact, neither the obvious technical superiority of the Spaniards and the superstitions that Quetzalcoatl or other gods would destroy the natives, nor the Spaniards' alliances with tribes subjugated by the Aztecs or Incas accounts for the Spanish victory. History asserts that the Aztecs, once incited to fight, savagely attacked and defeated the Spanish."

Share: FULL STORY“The most important point of this paper is discovering that ethnicity-specific oral microbial communities may predispose individuals to future disease,” says author Purnima Kumar. Credit: © apops / Fotolia The bacteria in the human mouth -- particularly those nestled under the gums -- are as powerful as a fingerprint at identifying a person's ethnicity, new research shows. Scientists identified a total of almost 400 different species of microbes in the mouths of 100 study participants belonging to four ethnic affiliations: non-Hispanic blacks, whites, Chinese and Latinos. Only 2 percent of bacterial species were present in all individuals -- but in different concentrations according to ethnicity -- and 8 percent were detected in 90 percent of the participants. Beyond that, researchers found that each ethnic group in the study was represented by a \"\"signature\"\" of shared microbial communities. \"\" This is the first time it has been shown that ethnicity is a huge component in determining what you carry in your mouth. We know that our food and oral hygiene habits determine what bacteria can survive and thrive in our mouths, which is why your dentist stresses brushing and flossing. Can your genetic makeup play a similar role? The answer seems to be yes, it can,\"\" said Purnima Kumar, associate professor of periodontology at The Ohio State University and senior author of the study. \"\""

A new report by the CDC says that by 2050, nearly one-third of American adults will be diabetic. It's a windfall of profits for the drug companies, diabetic supply companies and the sick care industry in general.

With over 600,000 new infections reported each year, Neisseria gonorrhoeae ( N. gonorrhoeae) has become the second most common, sexually transmitted infection in the United States. With its incidence only second to Chlamydia trachomatisa [5], the most disturbing fact of N. gonorrhoeae lies in the reality that it shows no discrimination among the sexually active - anyone and everyone is susceptible. The group most at-risk are sexually active women under the age of twenty-five and African American men [3]. Other risk factors include previous gonorrheal infection, diagnosis of other sexually transmitted diseases, new or multiple partners, inconsistent-to-no condom use, commercial sex work, as well as drug use [5]. Notable symptoms in males may include swollen and painfully sensitive testes, a white, yellow, or green penal discharge, a burning sensation while urinating, and/or the formation of unusual sores/a rash. In females, symptoms may include a painful or burning sensation while urinating, vaginal bleeding between periods, and/or increasing vaginal discharge. Due to the fact that the majority of those infected are asymptomatic, especially among women, if left untreated, the infection can result in the sterility in either sexes and in extreme cases, lead to their fatality [5]. Thus, the only factor keeping the infection from developing into an epidemic rests upon people routinely getting tested. Fortunately, because N. gonorrhoeae is a bacterium, curable treatment is available."

The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, also known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study or Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment ( / t ʌ s ˈ k iː ɡ iː / tus- KEE -ghee) [1] was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U. S. Public Health Service. The purpose of this study was to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African-American men in Alabama under the guise of receiving free health care from the United States government. [ 1]The Public Health Service started working on this study in 1932 in collaboration with Tuskegee University, a historically black college in Alabama. Investigators enrolled in the study a total of 622 impoverished, African-American sharecroppers from Macon County, Alabama. Of these men, 431 had previously contracted syphilis before the study began, and 169 [2] did not have the disease. The men were given free medical care, meals, and free burial insurance for participating in the study. The men were told that the study was only going to last six months, but it actually lasted 40 years. [ 3] After funding for treatment was lost, the study was continued without informing the men that they would never be treated. None of the men infected were ever told that they had the disease, and none were treated with penicillin even after the antibiotic was proven to successfully treat syphilis."

"text": "THE BASIC FACTS ABOUT COLORECTAL CANCERWhy is it so important? Colorectal cancer -- cancer of the colon and rectum -is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States for both men and women combined. The general population faces a lifetime risk for developing the disease of about 5 percent, while someone whose family has a history of colorectal cancer has a 10 to 15 percent chance of developing the disease. The risk rises to over 50 percent in people with ulcerative colitis and those whose family members harbor specific genetic mutations. Approximately 140,000 new cases of colorectal cancer will be diagnosed and 56,000 people will die from the disease this year. Surpassing both breast cancer and prostate cancer in mortality, colorectal cancer is second only to lung cancer in numbers of deaths in the United States. Colorectal cancer strikes men and women with almost equal frequency. What are the symptoms? Colorectal cancer is often a silent disease, developing with no symptoms at all. When symptoms do occur they may include the following: Blood in or on the stool Change in bowel habits Stools that are narrower than usual General stomach discomfort (bloating, fullness, and/or cramps)Vomiting Diarrhea, constipation, or feeling that the bowel does not empty completely Frequent gas pains Weight loss for no apparent reason Rectal bleeding Constant tiredness, or new fatigue during activity that was previously tolerated If you have any of these symptoms for more than two weeks, see your doctor or health professional immediately."

Commonly known as African sleeping sickness, human trypanosomiasis is caused by the species Trypanosoma brucei and is transmitted to humans through either a vector or the blood of ingested animals. The most common vector of Trypanosoma brucei is the tsetse fly, which may spread the parasite to humans and animals through bites. Through a process known as antigenic variation, some trypanosomes are able to evade the host's immune system by modifying their surface membrane, esentially multiplying with every surface change. As the disease progresses, Trypanosoma brucei gradually infiltrates the host's central nervous system."

Since reports of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virus began to emerge in the United States in the 1980s, the HIV epidemic has frequently been linked to gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) by epidemiologists and medical professionals. The first official report on the virus was published by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) on June 5, 1981 and detailed the cases of five young gay men who were hospitalised with serious infections. [ 1] A month later, The New York Times reported that 41 homosexuals had been diagnosed with Kaposi’s Sarcoma, and eight had died less than 24 months after the diagnosis was made. [ 2] By 1982, the condition was referred to in the medical community as ( Gay-related immune deficiency (GRID), \"\"gay cancer,\"\" and \"\"gay compromise syndrome.\"\" [ 3] It was not until July 1982 that the term Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was suggested to replace GRID, [4] and even then it was not until September that the CDC first used the AIDS acronym in an official report. [ 5]It is now well understood that HIV does not only affect the gay community but can also infect anybody, regardless of sex, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. [ 6] However, HIV still severely affects MSM across the globe. MSM are only a small percentage of the U. S. population, but they are consistently the population group most affected by the HIV/AIDS virus and are the largest proportion of American citizens with an AIDS diagnosis who have died. ["

Various strains of HPV cause the great majority of cases of cervical cancer. Despite this fact, public ignorance about HPV is high. Recent studies have shown that there are high levels of HPV infection among women, with the highest levels among young women, according to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). One recent study among female college students indicated that an average of 14 percent become infected with genital HPV each year. Levels of current infection in men of the same age appear to be similar. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 70 percent of American adults 18 and older have never heard of HPV. Furthermore, most (89 percent) have never discussed the issue with their health provider. Although cases of HPV are not formally reported in the United States, available data from the CDC indicate that at least 75 percent of the reproductive-age population has been exposed to the sexually transmitted HPV. Fifteen percent of Americans ages 15 to 49 are estimated to be infected."

From: wiki.ggc.edu [2]African Trypanosomiasis also called Sleeping Sickness is caused by Trypanosoma brucei, a unicellular parasitic protozoan. There are two separate subspecies which cause sleeping sickness in humans, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense which accounts for around 98% of cases and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense which accounts for the remaining 2% of cases [1]. African trypanosomiasis is limited in epidemiology to areas of Sub-Saharan Africa [2]. Trypanosoma brucei was first described as the causative agent of Sleeping Sickness in 1901. Although by the mid-1960s the disease had been largely eliminated, the disease saw a reemergence countries in which the disease was endemic gained independence and their health systems subsequently collapsed [3]. The protozoan is spread via the tsetse fly, and key symptoms of the disease include headache, fever, stiffness and later coma and death [1] . Pathogenesis Transmission Tsetse fly. From: britannica.com [3]Sleeping sickness is most often transmitted via the bite of an infected tsetse fly, the most common and important vector of the parasite. When an infected fly bites a person, it transmits the parasite into the person after which the parasite will multiply rapidly within the subcutaneous layers of tissue [4]. Though rare it is possible for sleeping sickness to be transmitted other ways. The disease can be passed from mother to child when the parasite crosses the placenta and infects the fetus."

Collins May 15, 2015, 12:00 pm SHARESpinach Fish with Boiled Plantain CREDIT: Think Progress/Sam P. K. Collins In recent years, public health experts have acknowledged that lowering the risk of the cancer among people of color in the United States, particularly African Americans, will require diet and environmental changes that can only come about through a combination of government intervention and individual fortitude. However, questions remain about what the ideal food selection should look like for African Americans, a group plagued by significantly high rates of obesity, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and other physical ailments. A recent study suggests the answer may lie in the diets of their counterparts across the Atlantic Ocean in the rural parts of the Motherland. In a study conducted at the University of Pittsburgh, 20 African Americans and 20 South Africans switched diets for two weeks. In this time, the Africans consumed traditional American food — meat and cheese high in fat content — while African Americans took on a traditional African diet — high in fiber and low in fat, with plenty of vegetables, beans, and cornmeal, with little meat. After the exchange, researchers performed colonoscopies on both groups and found that those in the African diet group increased the production of butyrate, a fatty acid proven to protect against colon cancer. Members of the American diet group, on the other hand, developed changes in their gut that scientists say precede the development of cancerous cells. “We wanted to show how diet changes cancer, so we used biomarkers and looked at the proliferation rate that has been tied to cancer,” Dr. Stephen J. O’Keefe, the lead researcher, told Think Progress. “ We were astounded by the gravity and the magnitude of the changes. In Africans, the diet changes produced microbiota that were cancerous."

S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for “bad blood,” their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all. The data for the experiment was to be collected from autopsies of the men, and they were thus deliberately left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis—which can include tumors, heart disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death. “ As I see it,” one of the doctors involved explained, “we have no further interest in these patients until they die. ”Using Human Beings as Laboratory Animals The true nature of the experiment had to be kept from the subjects to ensure their cooperation. The sharecroppers' grossly disadvantaged lot in life made them easy to manipulate."

Washington was a great educator and orator who founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Alabama, now known as the Tuskegee University. Born to a black slave mother and an unknown white father, Washington had a very difficult childhood; as a small boy he was forced to work strenuously and often beaten up. He would observe white children at school and wanted to study but it was illegal for slaves to receive an education. Poverty prevented him from studying even after his family was freed forcing him to seek employment. However, he found a saviour in Viola Ruffner, the woman he worked for, who encouraged him to study. He eventually attended the Hampton Normal Agricultural Institute where the headmaster Samuel Armstrong became his mentor and deeply influenced the young Washington’s philosophy. The former slave became an educator after his graduation and eventually helped found the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. He became an orator and represented the African-American community in the Atlanta Compromise in 1895 thereby becoming a national figure."

Credit: Public domain. George Washington Carver was a prominent American scientist and inventor in the early 1900s. Carver developed hundreds of products using the peanut, sweet potatoes and soybeans. He also was a champion of crop rotation and agricultural education. Born into slavery, today he is an icon of American ingenuity and the transformative potential of education. Early life Carver was likely born in January or June of 1864. His exact birth date is unknown because he was born a slave on the farm of Moses Carver in Diamond, Missouri. Very little is known about George’s father, who may have been a field hand named Giles who was killed in a farming accident before George was born. George’s mother was named Mary; he had several sisters, and a brother named James."

Washington is best known as a prominent black educator and racial leader of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He founded Tuskegee Institute in Alabama in 1881 and oversaw its growth into a well-respected black university. Born into slavery, Washington rose to a position of power and influence among both blacks and whites. Although he earned the respect of many for his role in promoting education for blacks, Washington has also been criticized for being too accommodating to whites and too complacent on the issue of equal rights.

It was founded by Lewis Adams, a former slave, and George W. Campbell, a former slave owner. Despite having no formal education, Adams could read and write, was a tinsmith, harness-maker, and shoe-maker, and was recognized as a prominent leader in the African American community of Macon County, Alabama. Because of this, W. F. Foster, a white candidate for the state senate, asked Adams what he would like in return for securing the black vote for Foster. Adams asked that an educational institution for blacks be established. After Foster won the election, $2,000 (per year) was allocated from the state general budget for such a school to be located in Macon County. It was officially founded on July 4th, 1881, with Booker T. Washington, then a 25-year-old teacher at Hampton Institute in Virginia, as its first principal, a position he maintained until his death in 1915. The school began as the Normal School for Colored Teachers at Tuskegee in a tiny space at the Butler Chapel AME Zion Church. A year later, it was moved to the grounds of a vacant plantation that Washington had purchased. A former slave, Washington was dedicated to the ideal of self-reliance based on industrial rather than purely liberal education, and he became internationally famous for advocating this to the recently emancipated slaves."

"text": "U. S. Syphilis Study at Tuskegee and Minority Participation in Research Mackenzie Riggs Setting the Scene Many nights after finishing my shifts of running entrees, pouring wine, and remaining unwaveringly hospitable, I would sit at the gleaming wooden bar centered in my restaurant of employment and chat with the manager, Mario. Over glasses of Bogle Merlot (the best tasting red wine for its price), we would avidly avoid talking shop or anything restaurant and would discuss more irrelevant topics like travel, World War II, and the ingenuity of Jersey Shore. A young, white woman in her tender young adult years, such as I, and a middle-aged black man, such as he, had many dynamics and opinions to share, and the learning was immense and relentless. One late night at the bar, the discussion turned medical, and Mario confessed that he distrusted and avoided doctors until an illness turned frightfully dire and swore that he would never, never, ever, ever participate in a medical study. At that time I was in the hub of the hurricane that is 6 th semester of nursing school with pre-planning, informed consent, patient-care, ethics, error reports, and 6,000 page lectures turning violently in my naïve novice-nurses head. The shock of such a distrust of medical professionals who slave through years of school to become proficient providers for patients nearly knocked me off the barstool and on the linoleum. Why? I asked, wide-eyed. Have you ever heard of the Tuskegee study? Introduction The U. S. Syphilis Study at Tuskegee studied the condition and progress of nearly 400 African-American males with diagnosed syphilis."

The United States War Department’s “Tuskegee Experiment” (today known as the “Tuskegee Airmen Experience”) involved the recruitment of African American men and women to train and fight in the Army Air Corps in World War II in the face of discriminatory policies and conditions. Including over 16,000 air traffic controllers, bombardiers, flight instructors, mechanics, navigators, officers, pilots, radio technicians, weather forecasters, and more, the participants of the “Tuskegee Airmen Experience” are unique not just because of their large number, but because their numerous confrontations with racism motivated rather than hindered their mission. The fighter groups most closely associated with the Tuskegee Airmen, notably the 99th and 332nd, are considered among the most proficient Army Air Corps squadrons in World War II. This hard won reputation exemplifies their efforts to rise above prejudice and serve their country. In 1939, schools and universities received government-sponsored support for developing flight-training programs through the Civilian Pilot Training (CPT) program. Established to train civilians to be back-up pilots in the event of a national emergency, the CPT was open to African Americans and women. Tuskegee Institute was just one of eight African American schools CPT supported. Known as one of the nation’s best vocational schools for African Americans, Tuskegee Institute had a tradition of teaching skilled crafts and instilling a firm work ethic in its students."

Washington That Washington would come to symbolize such divergent ideas—that, indeed, he would become a nationally known symbol of anything at all—would have seemed almost unimaginable at the moment of his birth. He was born a slave on a tobacco farm near the tiny town of Hale's Ford in Franklin County, Virginia, late in the 1850s. The precise year of his birth has been a matter of debate. As Washington observes wryly in the opening paragraph of Up from Slavery, \"\"I suspect I must have been born somewhere and at some time.\"\" Possessing no formal birth certificate, he had to rely on the memories of others and make educated guesses himself, sometimes placing his birth as early as 1854 and other times as late as 1859. After his death, his older half-brother claimed to have seen the date April 5, 1856, recorded next to Washington's name in a family Bible, and 1856 is the year that appears on his headstone at his gravesite in Tuskegee. His paternity is similarly uncertain. Washington's mother was a slave named Jane, one of six slaves (including Washington himself) owned by tobacco farmer James Burroughs. His father is identified in Up from Slavery as simply \"\"a white man who lived on one of the nearby plantations.\"\" If Washington knew the name of his father, he never revealed it publicly, and if the two ever crossed paths in Hale's Ford, the interaction was likely impersonal—the chance meeting of a white man and a black boy, not of a father willing to acknowledge his son."

S. military By Dolores Cox posted on September 19, 20162016 is the 75th anniversary of the Tuskegee Airmen’s formation. The Airmen were the first African-American aviators in U. S. Army Air Corps history. They were pilots, bombardiers, navigators, flight trainers, mechanics and support personnel. Before then, African Americans were barred from military aviation because of their skin color. Although Blacks had actively participated in the military since the American Revolution, it was nearly impossible for them to attain high-ranking positions. The Tuskegee Airmen were determined to rise above racial barriers and break “Jim Crow” segregation in the military, which enforced separate barracks, dining halls and opportunities. “Whites only” signs created barriers for all Black people. African descendants were not offered positions in prestigious schools and competitive jobs — and constantly had to do more and achieve more just to prove they were equal. Few, if any, schools would train Black people to earn private flying licenses. Even with a license, Black men were repeatedly rejected as aviators."

The experiment involved training black pilots and ground support members who originally formed the 99th Pursuit Squadron. The squadron, quickly dubbed the Tuskegee Airmen, was activated on March 22, 1941, and redesignated as the 99th Fighter Squadron on May 15, 1942. For every black pilot there were 10 other black civilian, officer and enlisted men and women on ground support duty. Charles Alfred Anderson, the first African American to earn his pilot's license, became the first flight instructor when the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) was organized at Tuskegee Institute in October 1939. The army decided to model its training program on the CPTP and hired Anderson to teach the Tuskegee pilots. When Eleanor Roosevelt visited Tuskegee Army Air Field in 1941, she insisted on taking a ride in an airplane with a black pilot at the controls. ER's pilot was Charles Anderson. ER then insisted that her flight with Anderson be photographed and the film developed immediately so that she could take the photographs back to Washington when she left the field. ER used this photograph as part of her campaign to convince FDR to activate the participation of the Tuskegee Airmen in North Africa and in the European Theater."

Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) as institutions of higher education and learning have provided a haven of opportunities for African American educators, students, and graduates to achieve success, and impact lives throughout the United States and internationally. Graduates have left there marks on the culture and politics in the United States and around the globe. Most notably are such graduates as the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Toni Morrison (Nobel Prize Winners), Oprah Winfrey (Billionaire, Media Mogul and Icon), the late Thurgood Marshall (first African American Supreme Court justice), Kwame Nkrumah (the first democratically elected President of Ghana),Yolanda Adams and Shirley Caesar (Gospel Recording Artists), and the list goes on. HBCU’s have produced doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers, teachers, entrepreneurs, politicians, recording artists, actors, professional athletes, veterinarians etc. The first HBCU Cheyney University was established in Pennsylvania during 1837, prior to the 1964 Brown v. Board of Education ruling by the U. S. Supreme Court outlawing the racial segregation of public education facilities. During 1837 and thereafter, establishing HBCUs provided an educational service to the African American community during a time in U. S. history when blacks were forbidden to receive an education. Today HBCUs are still playing a significant role in the education of African American students who are disproportionately impacted by the inability to gain admissions into non-African American institutions of higher learning. HBCUs still hold African American students in high esteem."

Washington Biography Educator Name at birth: Booker Taliaferro Washington Booker T. Washington was born a slave and deprived of any early education, but he still became America’s leading black educator at the start of the 20th century. Booker T. Washington was the first teacher and principal of the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. Tuskegee became famous as a school for African-Americans, where Washington championed learning and job training as the path to black self-reliance and success in America. Well known as a powerful speaker, Washington also wrote the best-selling autobiography Up From Slavery in 1901, and advised Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft on race relations. His rather flaccid nickname of “The Great Accommodator” offers a clue as to why he was later criticized by W. E. B. Du Bois and the N. A. A. C. P., who rejected Washington’s idea that blacks should accept an inferior status for the present as they worked to improve themselves for the future. Booker T. Washington was principal of Tuskegee Institute from 1881 until his death in 1915; it was originally called the Normal School for Colored Teachers and is now known as Tuskegee University. Extra credit Booker T. Washington’s middle name was Taliaferro… According to the Tuskegee University website, Booker T. Washington was married three times: to Fannie Smith from 1882 until her death in 1884; to Olivia Davis, from 1885 until her death in 1889; and Margaret Murray, from 1893 until his death in 1915… He was unrelated to President George Washington or botanist George Washington Carver … The Tuskegee Institute was the training ground for the Tuskegee Airmen, the famous all-black flying squadron of World War II.

Washington is one of the most controversial and dominant figures in African American history. According to his autobiography Up From Slavery (1901), he did not know the exact year, date, and place of his birth or his father’s name. Yet, it is widely understood that he was born enslaved on April 5, 1856 in Hale's Ford, Virginia. His mother’s name was Jane and his father was a white man from a nearby plantation. At the age of 9, Washington was freed from slavery and moved to West Virginia . He had always been known as simply “Booker” until he decided to add the name “Washington” after feeling the pressure to have two names when he started grammar school. At the age of 16, Washington began college at the Hampton Normal and Agriculture Institute in Hampton, Virginia. He also attended Wayland Seminary from 1878 to 1879 before returning to teach at Hampton. As a result of a recommendation from Hampton officials, he became the first principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University ), which opened on July 4, 1881; he remained in this capacity until his death in 1915. As the principal of Tuskegee Institute, Washington had the vehicle and platform to practice and espouse his educational philosophy and his theory concerning the advancement of African Americans."

Today, little is still known about this tiny amphibian and the constantly decreasing population numbers of the African Tree Toad are making it increasingly difficult for us to learn more about them. There are two known subspecies of the African Tree Toad, which are the African Tree Toad and the Bates' Tree Toad. Both African Tree Toad species are of similar size and colour but tend to differ in the geographical regions they inhabit. African Tree Toad Anatomy and Appearance The African Tree Toad is generally dark to light brown in colour, with white patches on its belly and like other Toad species, the African Tree Toad has specially designed feet which aid its semi-aquatic and tree climbing lifestyle. The African Tree Toad is a terrestrial animal and uses it' s toes to also help it to hop about on the ground. The toes of the African Tree Toad are long and thin, with sticky, round discs on the tips. These widely spread digits enable this Toad to grip onto a larger surface area. The tiny striped body of the African Tree Toad grows up 3.8cm in length making these animals particularly hard to spot amongst the debris on the forest floor. African Tree Toad Distribution and Habitat The African Tree Toad is said to be distributed across its natural Central African range in countries such as Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Nigeria."

The earliest true frog fossil, Vieraella herbsti, is dated between 188 and 213 million years old. [ 4] This predates the splitting of Gondwana, and has resulted in frogs present on all continents.

"text": "10 Frogs Handsome Enough to Kiss While researching our post The 10 Weirdest and Most Unusual Frogs on Earth, we found so many beautiful frogs we decided to give them their own post. Below are 10 of the handsomest princes of the amphibian world.1. Red-Eyed Tree Frog ( Agalychis callidryas)This frog might be called The Planet’s Most Beautiful Frog. It has been a pin-up on dozens of wildlife calendars and cards. But its beauty has a purpose—to help it to survive. When at rest, the frog’s eyes are closed. But if disturbed, the sudden appearance of its bright red eyes may startle a predator for a second or two—enough time for the frog to leap away. With its large toe pads and long thin limbs, it can climb trees easily. The Red-Eyed Tree Frog lives in tropical forests from southern Mexico through much of Central America. We used this frog on a poster we created to help spread awareness of the global amphibian crisis (you can download the poster for free): Red-eyed Tree Frog from IStock Photo.com2."

So for lions (Panthera leo), Panthera is the genus and tells us that they are closely related to tigers (Panthera tigris), because they share the name.

"text": "Geography Africa Q: What Are Some Animal Adaptations in the Savanna? A: Quick Answer Animal adaptations in the savanna, as described by COTF, include access to water stored in trees during the dry season, increased speed and agility to escape flames caused by lightning on dry ground, burrowing as protection from fire and living dormant through times of food scarcity. Animal adaptations are necessary in the savanna due to the extreme contrast between a long dry season and a very wet season. Continue Reading Keep Learning Why Do People Need to Protect the Environment? Can Flamingos Fly? What Countries Are in the Savanna? Full Answer The African elephant has physical adaptations of tusks and a long trunk to drink adequate water and gather food during times of severe drought. Improved eyesight, long legs and stamina are the adaptations of the African wild dog to wear out its prey. The baboon, lynx and mongoose have similar physical adaptations of sharp teeth, long claws and body strength, as protection in the open environments of the savanna. Behavioral adaptations such as animal migration during the contrasting seasons, grazing to feed on the abundant grasses that grow, camouflage as protection in open areas and being nocturnal to avoid predators, are common in the savanna, states the website Education.com."

Major Players There are three modern amphibian orders : Frogs (Anura)Salamanders (Caudata)Caecilians (Gymnophiona)Learn more here: Species Numbers . Pristimantis fenestratus © 2010 Pedro L. V. Peloso The most species rich genus of frogs is Pristimantis. There are more than 450 species in this genus, with more being described each year ( see the full list here ). These frogs occur in northern South America, mostly in the Andes, with some species found in southern Central America. They are small frogs whose eggs are laid on land and develop directly into small froglets, bypassing the tadpole stage. Bolitoglossa pesrubra © 2008 Eduardo Boza Oviedo The most diverse genus of salamanders, with more than 120 species ( get the latest tally for Bolitoglossa here ), is Bolitoglossa (the \"\"web-footed salamanders\"\"). Members of this genus are found from Mexico throughout Middle America and most of South America to central Bolivia. These are salamanders that lack an aquatic larval stage, are terrestrial rather than aquatic as adults, and frequently are arboreal."

These are found in virtually all rainforest habitats, ranging from the high canopy to streams and creeks. Collectively, reptiles and amphibians are known as herps. Unfortunately, many herps are threatened by habitat loss, the pet trade, and environmental change. Amphibians are particularly at risk from a deadly disease that is spreading around the globe. The disease has already caused the extinction of at least 170 species of frogs and toads over the past 30 years. Scientists have not yet pinpointed what is causing the outbreak or how it can be controlled. Emergency measures have been implemented for some endangered species, which are being collected and kept in zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens until a cure can be found. Below you will find profiles for a few rainforest herps as well as a selection of photos. Please note there is more extensive information about rainforest herps, including specific species, at the main rainforest site ."

Toads European fire-bellied toad ( Bombina bombina)Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Amphibia Order: Anura Merrem, 1820List of Anuran families Toad is a common name for certain frogs, especially of the family Bufonidae, that are characterized by dry, leathery skin, short legs, and large bumps covering the parotoid glands. [ 1] [2]A distinction between frogs and toads is not made in scientific taxonomy, but is common in popular culture ( folk taxonomy ), in which toads are associated with drier skin and more terrestrial habitats. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Biology2 In human culture3 See also4 References5 External links Biology [ edit]In scientific taxonomy, toads are found in the families Bufonidae, Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae and Microhylidae. [ 4]Usually the largest of the bumps on the skin of a toad are those that cover the parotoid glands. The bumps are commonly called warts, but they have nothing to do with pathologic warts, being fixed in size, present on healthy specimens and not caused by infection. [ 5] [ unreliable source?] Frogs travel from non-breeding to breeding areas of ponds and lakes. Bogert (1947) suggests that the toads' call is the most important cue in the homing to ponds. Toads, like many amphibians, exhibit breeding site fidelity ( philopatry )."

The toads are considered a threat to Australian wildlife, leading researchers to investigate methods to control their population. A study into competition between wild amphibian young revealed that the presence of green tree frogs reduced cane toad survival. Experts now suggest reintroducing the familiar frogs to suburban areas. The results are published in the journal Austral Ecology. Cane toads are native to South America but were introduced to Australia in 1935 to control sugar cane pests.

Their large clutches of eggs, ability to migrate 40km per year and poisonous defence are outlined as some of the primary reasons for their population explosion. However, research by Professor Richard Shine and colleagues from the University of Sydney has highlighted the weaknesses of the animals in early stages of development."

Occasionaly they will reach 3.5, but that's not common. Most are under 2 feet, but they can get as long as three. Much larger that a typical women's garter. Most garter snakes are under 60 cm (24 inches) long, but can be larger. Garter snakes generally do not grow to any great size, reaching about three feet with a very narrow girth. Garter snakes, due to their small size, are quick to heat up and cool down.

"text": "what do wild toads eat? Categorized as Amphibians The common wild toad has much the same diet the world over. There are a few species of toads that will eat dead animals and even dog or cat food, but for the most part they eat living animals. Depending on the size of the toad the food they will eat varies. To see what small toads eat see the post entitled what do small toads eat. Most wild toads will eat everything from small spiders to large rats. This includes birds, worms, ants, lizards, slugs, snails, butterflies, crickets, centipedes, most invertebrates, and even other frogs and toads. On a personal note, just the other day my two older sons and I sat on our porch and watched a toad about the size of a golf ball eat small sugar ants as they crossed over a leaf. He was very quick and ate 10 or more just in the few minutes I was able to watch.

"text": "\"Amphibians Tailless amphibians: Common Frog Salamanders: Barred Tiger Salamander Limbless amphibians: Rubber Eel Amphibios, translated from Greek, means “living double life”. Amphibians are animals who adapted to living both on land and in water. It is this feature that makes them unusual. It is generally recognized that they originated from lobe-finned fishes and gave birth to reptiles. Usually, modern amphibians are classified into three orders: The most numerous order comprises tailless amphibians (Anura) — frogs, toads, etc. — more than 5000 species in total. They have a short body without a tail, almost no neck, and well-developed legs. Their hind legs are strong, 2-3 times larger than front ones and allow moving in leaps. Salamanders (Caudata) — tailed amphibians — is another group, which comprises about 500 species. Their main distinctive features are an elongated body, a long tail, and short, usually weak legs."

"text": "What's the Difference Between a Frog and a Toad? Posted on March 16, 2011 by Susanillustration copyright Arnold Lobel Ever wonder what the difference is between a frog and a toad? At FROGS ARE GREEN, we thought we’d enlighten you so that when you’re hiking in the woods and someone says, “Look at that cute frog!” you’ll be able to say, “That’s not a frog, that’s a toad!”Frogs and toads are both amphibians in the order Anura. Of the three major classifications of amphibians, frogs make up the vast majority, about 90 percent of all amphibian species (the other types of amphibians are salamanders and caecilians). Toads are a sub-classification of frogs, meaning that all toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads (clear so far?). WHERE DO FROGS AND TOADS LIVEBoth frogs and toads live near ponds, swamps, and marshes. Frogs can live on the ground or in trees. But toads live only on the ground. SLIM VS."

It is bordered by Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south. The Caribbean Sea is to the east and the Pacific Ocean is to the west. Costa Rica is slightly smaller than the state of West Virginia. There are two major mountain ranges in the country: the Cordillera Volcanica and the Cordillera de Talamanca. As in many other Central American countries, Costa Rica suffers from occasional volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. PEOPLE & CULTUREFamily is very important in Costa Rica. Children often live with their families until they are married. Leisure is treasured above work in Costa Rica. While work is necessary to earn a living, Ticos, as Costa Ricans call themselves, believe people should enjoy their lives."

As with all members of the family Bufonidae, they lack a tail and teeth, and they have horizontal pupils. Their dry skin is thick and warty. Behind their eyes, Bufo species have wart -like structures, the parotoid glands. These glands distinguish the true toads from all other tailless amphibians."

The tropical seasonal forest has more or less densely growing trees which lose their leaves during the dry season. The savanna is a grassland with individual trees or groups of trees dotting the landscape. If you look at the climate diagrams to the right, you will see that the temperature regime is the same for both; with average annual temperatures over 20� C . Rainfall can vary from less than 50cm/year to almost 300 cm/year . Savannas would occupy the dryer part of this range. The figure to the left was taken at the Santa Rosa National Park in Costa Rica . This park has a typical tropical seasonal forest, and gets about 130 cm of rain per year. The rainfall is highly seasonal; with most of the rain falling in the months from May to November, May being both the end of the dry season and the wettest month overall, at least in the year pictured here. This strong seasonality of rainfall is characteristic of the tropical seasonal forest."
