"text": "Symptoms, diagnosis and treatment Symptoms Following the bite of the infected fly (both male and female can transmit infection), the parasite multiplies in the lymph and the blood of the person bitten, causing unspecific symptoms and signs such as headaches, fever, weakness, pain in the joints, lymphadenopathy, and stiffness. People who become infected may or may not show signs of illness immediately, but over time the parasite crosses the blood-brain barrier and migrates to the central nervous system. Here it causes various neurological changes which include the sleep disorder (hence the name “sleeping sickness”), deep sensory disturbances, abnormal tone and mobility, ataxia, psychiatric disorders, seizures, coma and ultimately death. In the case of T.b. rhodesiense infections, the disease is acute, lasting from a few weeks to several months while in T.b. gambiense infections the disease is chronic, generally progressing slowly over several years. Diagnosis Diagnosis of the stage of disease is a necessary step to complete a diagnosis of HAT and is vital for appropriate treatment. HAT progresses in two stages. Diagnosis requires confirming the presence of the parasite in any body fluid, usually in the blood and lymph system. Early diagnosis is difficult because of the lack of specific signs or symptoms in the first stage of the disease and also because of the lack of sensitivity of the parasitological methods available."

This article does not exhaustively list all parasites reported to have possible neurological effects, but instead discusses those infections that are most likely to present with symptoms related to the nervous system. Specific infections covered include malaria, toxoplasmosis, amebic encephalitis, microsporidiosis, African and American trypanosomiasis, angiostrongyliasis, gnathostomiasis, strongyloidiasis, trichinellosis, visceral larva migrans, schistosomiasis, paragonimiasis, fascioliasis, cysticercosis, and echinococcosis. Author Keywords Ameba; Cysticercosis; Echinococcosis; Eosinophilic meningitis; Fascioliasis; Larva migrans; Malaria; Microsporidiosis; Paragonimiasis; Schistosomiasis; Strongyloidiasis;Tapeworms; Toxoplasmosis; Trichinosis; Trypanosomiasis Introduction Of the large number of protozoan and metazoan parasites that may infect humans, many have the potential to affect the nervous system. Protozoan parasites are unicellular and have the ability to replicate and proliferate within the human host. In contrast, metazoan parasites are multicellular and include nematodes (roundworms) and two groups of flatworms, trematodes (flukes) and cestodes (tapeworms). In general, almost all metazoan parasites lack the ability to replicate within the human body and hence augmentation of intensity of infection requires additional exogenous reinfection. Metazoan, but not protozoan, parasites are characteristically associated with an immunological response that includes increased numbers of eosinophilic leukocytes in the blood and tissues. Some parasites have a characteristic predilection for involvement of the nervous system, whereas other infections are only rarely associated with neurological manifestations. This article does not exhaustively list all parasites reported to have possible neurological effects, but instead discusses those infections that are most likely to present with symptoms related to the nervous system."

Print Practice Essentials African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) (see the image below) is an illness endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. It is caused by 2 subspecies of the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma brucei, which are transmitted to human hosts by bites of infected tsetse flies. African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). Human trypanosomes blood smear. Signs and symptoms Symptoms of stage 1 (early or hemolymphatic stage) disease may include the following: Painless skin chancre Intermittent fever (refractory to antimalarials), general malaise, myalgia, arthralgias, and headache Generalized or regional lymphadenopathy Facial edema Transient urticarial, erythematous, or macular rashes 6-8 weeks after onset Skin lesions (trypanids)Symptoms of stage 2 (late or neurologic stage) disease may include the following: Persistent headaches (refractory to analgesics)Daytime somnolence followed by nighttime insomnia Behavioral changes, mood swings, or depression Loss of appetite, wasting syndrome, and weight loss Seizures (more common in children)Physical findings in stage 1 (early or hemolymphatic stage) disease may include the following: Indurated chancre at bite site Trypanids in light-skinned patients Lymphadenopathy Fevers, tachycardia, irregular rash, edema, and weight loss Organomegaly, particularly splenomegaly Physical findings in stage 2 (late or neurologic stage) disease may include the following: CNS manifestations (irritability, tremors, increased muscle rigidity and tonicity, ataxia, hemiparesis)Kerandel sign Behavioral changes consistent with mania or psychosis, speech disorders, and seizures Stupor and coma Psychosis Sensory disorders See Presentation for more detail. Diagnosis Although general laboratory studies may be helpful, a definitive diagnosis of African trypanosomiasis requires actual detection of trypanosomes. Significant laboratory abnormalities include the following: Anemia Hypergammaglobulinemia Low complement levels Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)Thrombocytopenia Hypoalbuminemia Studies performed to detect trypanosomes include the following: Blood smear (unstained or Giemsa-stained)Chancre aspiration Lymph node aspiration Bone marrow aspiration Lumbar puncture and CSF assay CSF assay is also done to measure white blood cell (WBC) counts, protein, and Ig M in patients with parasitemia or positive serologies or symptoms. The following studies may also be considered: Computed tomography (CT) of the head Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head Electroencephalography (EEG)See Workup for more detail. Management The type of drug treatment used depends on the type and stage of disease, as follows: East African trypanosomiasis, stage 1 - Suramin East African trypanosomiasis, stage 2 - Melarsoprol West African trypanosomiasis, stage 1 - Pentamidine isethionate or suramin West African trypanosomiasis, stage 2 - Melarsoprol or eflornithine For the treatment of late-stage West African trypanosomiasis, combination therapy (eg, melarsoprol-nifurtimox or nifurtimox-eflornithine) may be more effective than monotherapy. No vaccine is available for African trypanosomiasis."

African sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis) is a disease caused by a parasite. It is passed on by the bite of the infected tsetse fly. What causes African sleeping sickness? There are 2 types of the disease. They are named for the areas of Africa where they are found. West African sleeping sickness is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. This long-term (chronic) infection can last for years. East African sleeping sickness is caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. It’s a short-term (acute) illness that may last several weeks to months."

"text": "Chagas Disease (American Trypanosomiasis)By Richard D. Pearson, MD, Emeritus Professor of Medicine, University of Virginia School of Medicine Click here for Patient Education NOTE: This is the Professional Version. CONSUMERS: Click here for the Consumer Version Chagas disease is infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitted by Triatominae bug bites or, less commonly, via ingestion of sugar cane juice or foods contaminated with infected Triatominae bugs or their feces, transplacentally from an infected mother to her fetus, or via blood transfusion or an organ transplant from an infected donor. Symptoms after a Triatominae bite typically begin with a skin lesion or unilateral periorbital edema, then progress to fever, malaise, generalized lymphadenopathy, and hepatosplenomegaly; years later, some patients develop chronic cardiomyopathy, megaesophagus, or megacolon. Many who are infected never develop disease. In patients with AIDS, the skin or brain may be affected. Diagnosis is by detecting trypanosomes in peripheral blood or aspirates from infected organs. Antibody tests are sensitive and can be helpful. Treatment is with nifurtimox or benznidazole. T. cruzi is transmitted by Triatominae (reduviid, kissing, or assassin) bugs in South and Central America, Mexico, and very rarely in the US. Nonhuman reservoirs include domestic dogs, opossums, armadillos, rats, raccoons, and many other animals."

Back to Top Alternative Names American trypanosomiasis Back to Top Causes Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi , a parasite related to the African trypanosome that causes sleeping sickness. It is spread by the bite of reduvid bugs and is one of the major health problems in South America. Due to immigration, the disease also affects people in the United States. Risk factors for Chagas disease include: Living in a hut where reduvid bugs live in the walls Living in Central or South America Poverty Receiving a blood transfusion from a person who carries the parasite but does not have active Chagas disease Back to Top Symptoms Chagas disease has two phases: acute and chronic. The acute phase may have no symptoms or very mild symptoms. Symptoms include: Fever General ill feeling ( malaise)Swelling of one eye if the bite is near the eye Swollen red area at site of insect bite After the acute phase, the disease goes into remission. No other symptoms may appear for many years. When symptoms finally develop, they may include: Constipation Digestive problems Heart failure Pain in the abdomen Palpitations Swallowing difficulties Back to Top Exams and Tests Physical examination can confirm the symptoms."

African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is a disease spread by an infected tsetse fly, found in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Sleeping sickness is caused by two different parasites, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. Most reported cases of sleeping sickness are caused by T. b. gambiense. There is no vaccine or medication that protects against sleeping sickness. What is my risk? The risk for most travellers is low. The risk is higher for travellers in sub-Saharan Africa who are:visiting or living in rural areasvisiting game parks or other areas with thick vegetation How is it transmitted? Sleeping sickness is most commonly spread through the bite of an infected tsetse fly. Even in areas where the disease occurs, only a small percentage of flies are generally infected."

"text": "\"Trypanosomiasis, human African (sleeping sickness)Updated January 2017Key facts Sleeping sickness occurs in 36 sub-Saharan Africa countries where there are tsetse flies that transmit the disease. The people most exposed to the tsetse fly and therefore the disease live in rural areas and depend on agriculture, fishing, animal husbandry or hunting. Human African trypanosomiasis takes 2 forms, depending on the parasite involved: Trypanosoma brucei gambiense accounts for more than 98% of reported cases. Sustained control efforts have reduced the number of new cases. In 2009 the number reported dropped below 10 000 for the first time in 50 years, and in 2015 there were 2804 cases recorded. Diagnosis and treatment of the disease is complex and requires specifically skilled staff. Definition of the disease Human African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is a vector-borne parasitic disease. It is caused by infection with protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Trypanosoma. They are transmitted to humans by tsetse fly ( Glossina genus) bites which have acquired their infection from human beings or from animals harbouring human pathogenic parasites. Tsetse flies are found just in sub-Saharan Africa though only certain species transmit the disease."

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."

Sleeping sickness is characterized by two stages of illness. In the first stage, infected persons typically experience fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, and inflammation of the lymph nodes. The second stage, which develops within several weeks ( T. brucei rhodesiense) or within one to two years ( T. brucei gambiense ), is marked by involvement of the brain and spinal cord, accompanied by personality changes, sleep disturbances, and profound lethargy, frequently ending in death when left untreated.trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei in a blood smear (Giemsa-stained light photomicrograph). Blaine Mathison/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (Image ID: 11820)Infections with T. brucei gambiense occur in an area extending from the west coast of Africa eastward to the East African lakes and southward to the Congo River basin. Cases caused by T. brucei rhodesiense are limited to the highlands of central eastern and southern Africa. Several major epidemics of sleeping sickness occurred in the 20th century, but since then the number of new cases reported annually has declined significantly. In 2012 the World Health Organization published a plan targeting the elimination of sleeping sickness as a public health problem by 2020. Nagana, a form of sleeping sickness that primarily affects cattle and horses, continues to be a major factor preventing the development of cattle farming in parts of tropical Africa where tsetse flies are endemic. Infection and disease course The vast majority of human cases result from the transfer of T. bruceitrypanosomes by tsetse flies as they suck human blood."

In the emergency department, if central nervous system (CNS) symptoms are severe, airway management to prevent aspiration becomes important, along with an immediate blood smear, complete blood count (CBC), and lumbar puncture for trypanosome detection. If late stage disease is present or CNS disease complications and coma occur, intensive care unit (ICU) staff are needed while treatment is administered (ie, melarsoprol for East African trypanosomiasis or eflornithine for West African trypanosomiasis). Potential adverse effects from such drugs, including hematologic, renal, and hepatic function must be monitored. Next: Pharmacologic Therapy"

For more on this emerging field, read this Discover Magazine blog post entitled \"\" Festooning the Tree of Life \"\". This course will present a scheme that uses three domains (domains Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya). Recall, the non-mitochondrial/chloroplast DNA in a eukaryotic cell is located within the nucleus, which is surrounded by the nuclear envelope. Eukaryotic cells also possess extensive systems of intracellular membranes that provide elaborate internal compartmentalization. Additionally, they generally have organelles (e.g., mitochondria and, in some cases, chloroplasts)."

Onyimbo African Traditional Vegetables Back on the Table December 1, 2012From Package 95: Researching and Producing Farmer Focused Programs Tweet Notes to broadcasters There are more than 300 different species of African traditional vegetables that have been eaten in East Africa for many years. These vegetables are known for their nutritive as well as medicinal value. African traditional vegetables were a big part of people’s diet and culture until “modern” vegetables like cabbage and carrots were introduced. In the past few years, however, traditional vegetables have slowly been regaining popularity. The once neglected vegetables are now being grown by small-scale farmers, sold in open air markets and supermarkets, and eaten by both rural and urban populations. This script captures the experiences of people who have been successfully growing and selling traditional vegetables in Kenya. It shows how farmers can grow traditional vegetables to improve their income and food security. This script is based on actual interviews. You could use this script as inspiration to research and write a script on a similar topic in your area."

S. state of Louisiana, and that state's official state cuisine. It may have originated in southern Louisiana during the 18th century, possibly as a stew of the Choctaws served over corn grits. Gumbo consists primarily of a strongly-flavored stock, meat or shellfish, a thickener, and what Louisianians call the \"\"Holy Trinity\"\" of vegetables, namely celery, bell peppers, and onions. Gumbo is often categorized by the type of thickener used, the okra, the filé powder (dried and ground sassafras leaves), or roux, the French base made of flour and fat. The dish likely derived its name from either a word from a Bantu language for okra ( ki ngombo) or the Choctaw word for filé ( kombo ). Gumbo can be made with or without okra or filé powder. The preferred method in the historical New Orleans variation is with a French dark roux. The flavor of the dish has its origins in many cultures.

There are two main blanching techniques including steam blanching and water-submersion blanching. [ 2]The meaning of blanch is \"\"to whiten\"\", but this is not always the purpose of blanching in cooking. Food is blanched to soften it, or to partly or fully cook it, or to remove a strong taste (for example of cabbage or onions ).

[ 1] It varies greatly by region, reflecting the country's mix of native and immigrant populations, and its continental size as well. This has created a national cuisine marked by the preservation of regional differences. [ 2]Ingredients first used by native peoples in Brazil include cassava, guaraná, açaí, cumaru, cashew and tucupi. From there, the many waves of immigrants brought some of their typical dishes, replacing missing ingredients with local equivalents. For instance, the European immigrants (primarily from Portugal, Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland and Switzerland) were accustomed to a wheat-based diet, and introduced wine, leafy vegetables, and dairy products into Brazilian cuisine. When potatoes were not available they discovered how to use the native sweet manioc as a replacement. [ 3] Enslaved Africans also had a role in developing Brazilian cuisine, especially in the coastal states. The foreign influence extended to later migratory waves – Japanese immigrants brought most of the food items that Brazilians would associate with Asian cuisine today, [4] and introduced large-scale aviaries, well into the 20th century. [ 5]Root vegetables such as cassava (locally known as mandioca, aipim or macaxeira, among other names), yams, and fruit like açaí, cupuaçu, mango, papaya, guava, orange, passion fruit, pineapple, and hog plum are among the local ingredients used in cooking."

Claiming to defer to Mandela family members on visiting the ailing Mandela during his June 28-30 whistle-stop trip through Johannesburg, Obama instead met with South African President Jacob Zuma. Zuma was one of the key figures who kept the news that doctors had been keeping Mandela alive in a vegetative state, a top world secret. Among thousands of news outlets, only one newspaper made a valiant attempt to get the true story out and keep it there. According to the read-by-millions Las Vegas Guardian Express, Mandela died on June 26th, 2013, but was kept on life support until December 2013. On December 5, 2013, the White House tweeted a picture showing Obama behind the bars of the Robben Island prison, where Mandela had been incarcerated for 18 of his 27 years. The picture tweeted on Dec. 5, 2013 had been taken on June 29, 2013, when Barack and Michelle Obama visited the world famous site. As president and first lady of the USA, the Obamas make pretty good vultures. This is the story of Mandela’s June 26 death following his persistent vegetative state as reported by the Guardian Express:“On the morning of June 26, we received a message from one of our South African correspondents, Laura Oneale that Nelson Mandela had passed away the previous evening."

Palm oil is naturally reddish in color because of a high beta-carotene content. It is not to be confused with palm kernel oil derived from the kernel of the same fruit [2] or coconut oil derived from the kernel of the coconut palm ( Cocos nucifera ). The differences are in color (raw palm kernel oil lacks carotenoids and is not red), and in saturated fat content: palm mesocarp oil is 49 percent saturated, while palm kernel oil and coconut oil are 81 percent and 86 percent saturated fats, respectively. However, crude red palm oil that has been refined, bleached and deodorized, a common commodity called RBD palm oil, does not contain carotenoids.

It is bordered to the north and south by forest-savanna mosaics and to the east by swamp forest, while the western limit grades gradually into the lowland rain forests of the Atlantic Equatorial Coastal Forests ecoregion [8]. Most of the ecoregion lies at altitudes between 300 and 800 m, with the highest elevations towards the north and in the Chaillu Massif to the south. Mean annual rainfall ranges from 1,400 to 2,000 mm in the central portion of the ecoregion, with most rain falling during two distinct wet seasons. Temperatures are tropical, with an annual mean maximum of 27o to 30o C and an annual mean minimum of 18o to 21o C. Humidity is high throughout the year. The majority of the area overlies Precambrian bedrock, with pre-Cretaceous sediments in the northern sector (Juo and Wilding 1994). In most places a thick layer of heavily leached red oxisols overlies the bedrock."

While some of these are true, the solution lies in harnessing the naturally occurring staple African foods in existence. In case you have wondered whether foods are in Africa at all, or what types of food people eat in Africa, African foods are some of the most diverse in the world. Some are cultivated in African soil, nurtured by African weather and produced in Africa in its entirety, while others are imported and have their origin from elsewhere. Majority of Africans wouldn’t need any introduction to the common and most abundant African foods but not everybody would know that, for example, the cassava nourishes more than 500 million people worldwide and has its origin from west-central Brazil. Answers Africa brings you some of the most popular foods in Africa that have worldwide reach.25. Watermelon Watermelon is a vine-like flowering plant (scrambler and trailer) that originated from southern Africa where it is found growing wild. It has spread across the world, starting with the northern parts of Africa where at a time, its seed was found in Pharaoh’s tomb, Asian countries including Israel were not left out. Watermelon has a smooth exterior rind (green, yellow and sometimes white) and a juicy, sweet interior flesh (usually deep red to pink, but sometimes orange, yellow and even green if not ripe). Today, farmers in approximately 44 states in the United States grow watermelon in commercial amounts; Georgia, Florida, Texas, California and Arizona are the US’s largest watermelon producers."

They are predator type fish, found in weedy pools of slow moving waters. There they will lie at the surface, almost motionless, waiting for unsuspecting prey to pass by.

It covers central Zimbabwe and extends into Mozambique, southern Zambia and Malawi. The landscape is flat or gently undulating, with numerous inselbergs. Miombo woodland mixes with mopane and smaller wetlands to provide habitat for a wide variety of animals, include endangered and charismatic mammals such as African elephants (Loxodonta africana) and black rhinos (Diceros bicornis). While a number of protected areas fall within this ecoregion, management and resources are sometimes lacking. Poaching of ivory and rhino horn remains a persistent problem.

[ 1] [2] The hairstyle is created by combing the hair away from the scalp, allowing the hair to extend out from the head in a large, rounded shape, much like a cloud or ball. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5]In people with naturally curly or straight hair, the hairstyle is instead typically created with the help of creams, gels or other solidifying liquids to hold the hair in place.

On March 8, he left the Nation of Islam. In May he toured West Africa and made a pilgrimage to Mecca, returning as El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. While in Ghana in May, he decided to form the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU). Malcolm returned to New York the following month to create the OAAU and on June 28 gave his first public address on behalf of the new organization at the Audubon Ballroom in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. That address appears below. Salaam Alaikum, Mr. Moderator, our distinguished guests, brothers and sisters, our friends and our enemies, everybody who's here. As many of you know, last March when it was announced that I was no longer in the Black Muslim movement, it was pointed out that it was my intention to work among the 22 million non-Muslim Afro-Americans and to try and form some type of organization, or create a situation where the young people – our young people, the students and others – could study the problems of our people for a period of time and then come up with a new analysis and give us some new ideas and some new suggestions as to how to approach a problem that too many other people have been playing around with for too long. And that we would have some kind of meeting and determine at a later date whether to form a black nationalist party or a black nationalist army. There have been many of our people across the country from all walks of life who have taken it upon themselves to try and pool their ideas and to come up with some kind of solution to the problem that confronts all of our people."

Devon is used chiefly in the English language, and it is derived from English and Celtic origins. The first name is derived from the name of the county of Devon in England; the county name is itself probably from the name of the Celtic tribe Dumnonii, which existed during the Iron Age and the early Roman period. Since the late 20th century, various forms have been popular among Afro-Americans, with syllables sometimes capitalized, such as De Von or De Vonn. Forms such as Devonte and Devontae have also been popular with Afro-Americans; these names show an influence from the name Dante. Devon is a variant of the name Davon (English). Devon is also a variant of the name Devin (English and Irish) in the English language. The name Devon is used to a great extent; it has 33 variants."

"text": "\"BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY : AFRO-PANAMANIANS OF AFRICAN DESCENT , AN ESTIMATED 50% OF PANAMANIANS HAVE AFRICAN ANCESTRY : BLACK SOCIAL HISTORY Afro-Panamanian are Panamanians of African descent. Afro-Panamanians are 15% of the population and it is estimated 50% of Panamanians have African ancestry. The Afro-Panamanian population can be broken into the \"\"Afro-Colonial\"\", Afro-Panamanians descended from slaves brought to Panama during the colonial period and the \"\"Afro-Antillean\"\", West Indian immigrants from Trinidad, Barbados, Martinique and Jamaica, brought in to build the Panama Canal. Afro-Panamanians can be found in towns and cities Colón, Cristóbal and Balboa, Río Abajo area of Panama City, the Canal Zone, and province of Bocas del Toro. Early Period Although the Spanish imported African slaves to Panama from 1510 (the year in which contributed to the foundation of the region Name of God), there is an interesting perspective that indicates that black Africans were present in Panama since before the arrival of the Spanish . This is reflected in the version of Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, in his seminar \"\"Early America Revisited\"\" which said the historian Peter Martyr included in his writings that some Africans had been shipwrecked in the area near the coast of the Darien Province that they had taken refuge in the mountains. Martyr referred to men as \"\"Ethiopian pirates\"\" - in the past \"\"Congo, Guinea, and Ethiopia\"\" were synonymous with the African continent -. Lopez de Gomara also described blacks precolonial that Europeans were first seen in Panama: \"\"These people were identical to blacks we've seen in Guinea.\"\" French historian and anthropologist Charles de Bour reported the existence of two tribes Indians of Panama, the Mandingo (black leather) and the Tule (red skin). This is consistent with some indigenous figures buried in the mountains of Chiriqui (near the border with Costa Rica) developed by culture \"\"Barrels\"\" (dated between 300 and 600 AD) where there are ceramic figurines are shaped black Africans with pronounced lips, broad nose, phenotypically different to the rest of the indigenous statuettes present at the site."

Salsa Music and Dance Around the World New York (USA)Salsa Music During the 1940s and 50s, Cuban musicians had a huge influence on the New York music scene. But once Fidel came to power, diplomatic relations fell apart between Cuba and the US. Cuban musicians could no longer travel to the United States and Cuban recordings received no air play time. So the Puerto Rican and Nu Yorican (New Yorkers of Puerto Rican descent) musicians took on The Big Apple single handed. These days New York salsa has a distinctly Puerto Rican sound ‚ smooth, polished, classic salsa."

"text": "June 11, 2015Multiracial in America Chapter 7: The Many Dimensions of Hispanic Racial Identity For Hispanics living in the United States, Hispanic identity is multidimensional and multifaceted. For some, it is defined most by their family’s country of origin, such as Mexican, Cuban or Dominican. 48 For others, it is defined by pan-ethnic terms like Hispanic or Latino, emphasizing the commonalities of a diverse community. At 54 million, Hispanics make up 17% of the nation’s population, and they are projected to grow to be 29% of the U. S. population in 2060, according to the Census Bureau. 49 Between 1990 and 2013, the nation’s Hispanic population grew faster than any other racial or ethnic group. Measuring racial identity among Hispanics has proved challenging for the Census Bureau. Currently, the Hispanic category is described on census survey forms as an ethnic origin and not a race. It is asked about separately from the race question, a practice also followed by many other surveys. But when it comes to their racial identity, Latinos stand out from other Americans in their responses to race questions. For example, when asked about their race on Census Bureau decennial census and survey forms, many Latinos do not choose one of the standard racial classifications offered."

"text": "“Many of us make facile talk about conservative Christians while having vague ideas of who they are. Now we have no excuse. Greeley and Hout tell us exactly who they are, upsetting stereotypes along the way. ”—Garry Wills“Pundits and political operatives have produced an enormous amount of nonsense in recent years about conservative Protestants. With a clear eye for extracting details from survey data, Andrew M. Greeley and Michael Hout have given us an important book filled with valuable information. ”—Robert Wuthnow An excerpt from The Truth about Conservative Christians What They Think and What They Believe Andrew Greeley and Michael Hout The Politics of Conservative Christianity in Black and White INTRODUCTIONThe basic theme of this book is that the correlations between religious conservatism and political and social attitudes are not necessarily overwhelming. Bible Christians are indeed more likely than other Protestants, for example, to oppose abortion under every circumstance, to believe that homosexuality is always wrong, and to advocate restrictions on pornography. They are also more likely to vote Republican. However, not all Conservative Christians are consistently pro-life; in fact, the majority of them are not. And, while the majority still believe that homosexuality is always wrong, the proportion with that conviction declined rapidly in the 1990s."

As such, the meaning of the expression varies widely both between and within societies, and depends significantly on context. For many other individuals, communities and countries, \"\"black\"\" is also perceived as a derogatory, outdated, reductive or otherwise unrepresentative label, and as a result is neither used nor defined. [ 1]Different societies apply differing criteria regarding who is classified as \"\"black\"\", and these social constructs have also changed over time. In a number of countries, societal variables affect classification as much as skin color, and the social criteria for \"\"blackness\"\" vary. For example, in North America the term black people is not necessarily an indicator of skin color or ethnic origin, but is instead a socially based racial classification related to being African-American, with a family history typically associated with institutionalized slavery. In the United Kingdom, \"\"black\"\" was historically equivalent with \"\" person of color \"\", a general term for non-European peoples."

"text": "\"Afro-Brazilians ETHNONYMS: Black Brazilians (archaic), Brazilian Negroes, Negro Brazilians, Pardos, Pr ê tos Identification Afro-Brazilians did not receive the kind of attention devoted to African Americans of the United States in the scholarly and popular literature until the 1970s. To the extent that they were discussed, they were viewed as part and parcel of Brazil 's exceptional race-relations patterns, in which flexibility in racial categorization and definition, linked to a history of the absence of legally mandated or sanctioned racial discrimination in the postabolition period, obviated the need for Black protest and other forms of activity geared to the gaining of civil rights. Since then, this roseate rendition of the Afro-Brazilian situation has been steadily challenged by both Brazilians and foreigner observers, controverting the impression that the specific historical, cultural, sociological, and politicoeconomic universe in which Afro-Brazilians have lived and continue to live remotely resembles a privileged environment in terms of race relations. These recent discussions offer insights into race relations, racial prejudice, and racial discrimination of another kind than that found elsewhere. Briefly put, neither history nor culture in themselves have proven sufficient to legitimize a case for a unique immunity to racism in Brazil. Furthermore, race mixture or multiracialness do not imply an absence of racial ranking, racial preference, or outright discrimination. If there is agreement on the above issues, the question of the definition of \"\"Afro-Brazilian\"\" remains debatable. By the late 1970s, the term \"\"Afro-Brazilian\"\" rather than \"\"Black Brazilian\"\" appeared to be increasingly favored, especially by younger and politically active Blacks. The choice of \"\"Afro\"\" — meant to emphasize ancestry rather than the traditional Brazilian focus on color (in 1980 non-Whites described themselves to the census takers in an array of more than 100 shades) — became equivalent to a political statement. Any description that lays the remotest claim to accuracy must factor race, class, and gender into the categorization."

They mostly belong to the Ga-Adangbe, Yoruba, Igbo, Fon, Ashanti, Ewe, Mandinka, and other West African groups native to Guinea, Ghana, Benin, Guinea-Bissau and Nigeria. The Bantus were brought from Angola, Congo region and Mozambique and sent in large scale to Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and the Northeastern Brazil. The typical dress of women from Bahia has clear Muslim influences. The blacks brought to Brazil were from different ethnicities and from different African regions. Gilberto Freyre noted the major differences between these groups. Some Sudanese peoples, such as Hausa, Fula and others were Islamic, spoke Arabic and many of them could read and write in this language. Freyre noted that many slaves were better educated than their masters, because many Muslim slaves were literate in Arabic, while many Portuguese Brazilian masters could not even read or write in Portuguese."

The cultural heritage stems from the estimated four million slaves who were brought to the country over a 300-year period, at least four times as many as to the United States. Brazil was the last country to abolish the slave trade in 1888. More than half of Brazilians now identify themselves as black or of mixed race, according to the latest census. Rio de Janeiro now has the most famous carnival in the world, attracting an estimated 1.1 million visitors to the city this year and with 5.3 million people taking part in street parties, according to the English language newspaper The Rio Times. Carnival, which is celebrated across Brazil, combines samba -- music and dance which grew out of Brazil's black neighborhoods -- and the Catholic tradition of celebrating the run-up to Lent brought by Portuguese colonialists.

"title": "http://aboutworldlanguages.com/Arabic-Egyptian\nArabic (Egyptian Spoken)",
"text": "Arabic (Egyptian Spoken)By Irene Thompson | Updated July 5, 2016 by Irene Thompson Ahlan wa sahlan! – Welcome Egyptian Arabic, also known as Egyptian Spoken Arabic, Masri, Massry, Normal Egyptian Arabic and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, is a variety of Arabic which belongs to the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. It is spoken by 56,400,000 people in Egypt ( Ethnologue ). It also serves as a second language in many other countries of the Middle East, e.g., in Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen ( Ethnologue ). The total number of speakers of Egyptian Spoken Arabic is estimated to be upwards of 54 million ( Ethnologue ). Prior to the Arab conquest of Egypt in the 7th century AD, the Egyptians spoke Coptic, a later phase of ancient Egyptian. Following the Arab conquest, there was a prolonged period of time when both Coptic and Arabic were spoken in Egypt. Egyptian Spoken Arabic, as distinct from Classical Arabic and the variety spoken by the Arab invaders, is thought to have developed in the first Islamic capital of Egypt, that is now part of Cairo, the capital of present-day Egypt. With increased influence of Islam and arabization of the country, Egyptian Spoken Arabic slowly replaced Coptic. However, there is evidence that Coptic continued to be spoken until the 17th century AD."

"text": "\"Women's Suffrage and the Question of Color Neale Mc Goldrick While women and African Americans have often had common political interests, the alliance of their movements has not always been easy. The prioritizing of competing goals, racism within the women's movement, and the pressures exerted by southern white women to block African American women's participation all produced many moments of friction and estrangement from 1848 to 1920. Early Initiatives The first legal opportunity for both African Americans and women to vote came in New Jersey, where the original state constitution granted the vote to anyone who had fifty pounds of property. Many widowed or unmarried women, some black men, and at least one black woman are recorded as having voted in local elections between 1780 and 1807. ( Married women could not meet the property qualification for voting because all their property automatically belonged to their husbands.) This early franchise was lost after a hotly contested election in 1806 when charges were raised that married women, slaves, minors, and out-of-state residents had voted. In the name of \"\"election reform,\"\" New Jersey changed its voting qualifications in 1807, extending the vote to all white male taxpayers and denying suffrage to women and blacks. On July 14, 1848, Frederick Douglass advertised the Seneca Falls meeting, called to promote the cause of women's suffrage, in his newspaper The North Star. He then played a central role at the women's rights convention in supporting Elizabeth Cady Stanton's insistence on the inclusion of a demand for women's suffrage in the Declaration of Sentiments. The slogan, which appeared in every issue of The North Star, reflected Douglass's life-long belief that \"\"Right is of No Sex. \"\""

S.—died February 21, 1965, New York, New York), African American leader and prominent figure in the Nation of Islam who articulated concepts of race pride and black nationalism in the early 1960s. After his assassination, the widespread distribution of his life story— The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1965)—made him an ideological hero, especially among black youth. Early years and conversion Born in Nebraska, while an infant Malcolm moved with his family to Lansing, Michigan. When Malcolm was six years old, his father, the Rev. Earl Little, a Baptist minister and former supporter of the early black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey, died after being hit by a streetcar, quite possibly the victim of murder by whites. The surviving family was so poor that Malcolm’s mother, Louise Little, resorted to cooking dandelion greens from the street to feed her children. After she was committed to an insane asylum in 1939, Malcolm and his siblings were sent to foster homes or to live with family members. Malcolm excelled in school, but after one of his eighth-grade teachers told him that he should become a carpenter instead of a lawyer, he lost interest and soon ended his formal education. As a rebellious youngster, Malcolm moved from the Michigan State Detention Home, a juvenile home in Mason, Michigan, to the Roxbury section of Boston to live with an older half sister, Ella, from his father’s first marriage. There he became involved in petty criminal activities in his teenage years. Known as “Detroit Red” for the reddish tinge in his hair, he developed into a street hustler, drug dealer, and leader of a gang of thieves in Roxbury and Harlem (in New York City)."

But back home, recognition is not always so easy. This time last year, Olodum's cultural director, Eusebio Cardoso Ferreira, was recovering from multiple shotgun wounds inflicted by a military policeman. \"\" Eusebio had packed a suitcase and was on his way to London,\"\" said Alan Trajano, a church human rights lawyer familiar with the case. \"\" But the policeman saw a black man with a bag and assumed he had stolen it from a tourist. \"\" On one hand, Salvador has recently seen a renaissance in Afro-Brazilian culture. Under coconut palms on the beaches, women in turbans sell snacks whose recipes of palm oil, okra and shrimp trace back to West Africa. The city's most widely followed religion is candomble, whose gods and Yoruba chants first came from 17th-century Dahomey. At carnival time, Salvador's cobblestone streets reverberate with African drums and samba lyrics composed in homage to ancient empires in Mali, Angola and the Congo."

"text": "Cartoons and Cartoonists By Rachel Moloshok William Charles, the first major American cartoonist, churned out dozens of political etchings during the War of 1812 that introduced readers to symbolic characters such as “John Bull” and “Brother Jonathan.” ( Historical Society of Pennsylvania)American cartooning began in Philadelphia. Benjamin Franklin (1706–90), who introduced cartoons to North America, used images to galvanize viewers to action on the issues of their day. As the political, economic, and cultural capital of the early United States, Philadelphia became a center for producing political cartoons and humorous caricatures. Although New York eventually supplanted Philadelphia as the nation’s primary publishing center, Philadelphia cartoonists and their work continued to thrive and influence the art of cartooning, politics, and popular culture of readers throughout the nation. The political cartoon “Join, or Die” was reprinted in almost every newspaper in America as a rallying cry for colonial unity during the French and Indian War and became a popular pro-colonist image throughout the American Revolution. ( Historical Society of Pennsylvania)Many historians consider “Join, or Die,” the iconic image of the segmented snake representing the American colonies, published in the Pennsylvania Gazette in May 1754, to be the first political cartoon published in America; it was certainly the first cartoon published in an American newspaper. Some consider “Non Votis,” a lesser-known illustration of a hapless wagoner appealing in vain to Hercules, from the political pamphlet Plain Truth (1747), to be the first American political cartoon. Whichever image deserves the honor, Franklin was responsible. Both affected the political climate of their day."

By 1919, AFT had 100 local affiliates and a membership of approximately 11,000 teachers, which amounted to 1.5% of the nation's teaching force. In its early days, AFT distinguished itself from the National Education Association (NEA) by its exclusion of school administrators from membership. Facing opposition from politicians and boards of education, membership in AFT declined to 7,000 by 1930. During this period, the organization had little impact on local or national education policy.

"text": "To efficiently complete a task, a craftsman needs the right tools for the job. The same principle applies to boat hulls. Like tools, a hull is designed for specific purposes or boating conditions. Pick the wrong one and disappointment awaits. But a hull that is designed for your normal operating environment makes the trip more enjoyable, and usually means more fish. I asked a couple of marine-industry veterans their thoughts on the most important characteristics in designing outboard-powered hulls. Balance“The center of gravity is 100 percent vital in everything we do,” says Lou Codega, a naval architect with more than 35 years of experience in boat design. Codega has developed every Regulator hull, and also has worked with Carolina Classic, Cabo and Hines-Farley, along with trawler and work-boat companies. “ The difference between a lousy boat and a great boat is how well its designer and the builder work together to get the total weight of the boat balanced. If it’s off, bad things happen."

The ‘wet end’, consisting of the transducers and the attitude sensor in a watertight pod, is mounted on a special plate at the end of a rigid pole. The pole is deployed over the side, or on the bow, of the vessel. The pole can be hinged or retractable, so that the system and the ship are not at risk in shallow water. Alternatively, the Bathyswath can be deployed through a moon pool or gate valve. Use on very small boats Bathyswath can be used from very small boats, including open ‘Zodiac’ type inflatables and RIBs, and can be configured to use DC power from a battery, rather than mains power. The higher frequency transducers are smaller and lighter than the low frequency ones, and are thus more suitable for this application. A carefully selected system of Bathyswath with laptop and lightweight auxiliary sensors can weigh less than 10kg and consume less than 25 Watts. The Bathyswath-SPLASH option is best suited for open boats, as its electronics housing is splash-proof. Use on remote platforms Bathyswath has been used on a range of remote and underwater platforms, including unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and unmanned/autonomous underwater vehicles (UUVs/AUVs)."

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

"text": "Updated April 2, 2018OVERVIEWWhat is the latest on gradudate student unionization efforts at Georgetown? On April 2, 2018, the University reached an agreement with the Georgetown Alliance of Graduate Employees (GAGE), a group of graduate students affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), which would allow for an election among eligible students on whether they wish to be represented by a union. Today’s agreement creates a new framework recognizing that graduate students’ relationship with the University is fundamentally an educational one, while also responding to their desire to have a stronger voice in the terms of their service as Graduate Student Assistants. What is the recent history of graduate student unionization at Georgetown? On Nov. 1, 2017, GAGE asked that the University voluntarily recognize GAGE/AFT as the collective bargaining representative for a group of graduate student assistants at Georgetown. On Dec. 4, 2017, Provost Robert M. Groves and Executive Vice President for Health Sciences Edward B. Healton informed GAGE that, after careful consultation and serious consideration, Georgetown University would not recognize it as the collective bargaining representative without first holding an election among eligible graduate students. They also expressed their view that graduate students’ relationship with the University is fundamentally an educational one. At the end of December 2017, GAGE/AFT proposed Georgetown enter into an agreement for an election that would be administered by a neutral third party, the American Arbitration Association (AAA), rather than by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which typically oversees union elections. Georgetown gave this proposal serious consideration and determined it could provide an opportunity for a framework that would recognize that our graduate students’ relationship with the University is fundamentally an educational one, while also responding to graduate students’ desire to have a stronger voice in the terms of their service as Graduate Student Assistants. Since that time, Georgetown has met with representatives of GAGE/AFT in a good-faith effort to fashion an agreement that would meet these two objectives."

I'm beginning to understand the benefits of an aft cabin boat and that is changing my search a bit. If I understand correctly, the aft cabin will usually be more comfortable because of the action of the boat and the size of the cabin/bed. I see some with the bed port/starboard and some with the bed bow to stern. I've also seen a few where the bed is in the center and it looks as though when heeling with two people in it, one could fall off. Lol. I've also looked at the O'Day 39' now, which has a center cockpit, and I REALLY like the layout. Having the privacy to the rear when desired is pretty cool, especially if sailing with guests, a crew of one or more, or with kids (I have two boys who might join me now and then. I also thought about renting out a stateroom when moored in Vancover/LA. So while I don't NEED the privacy all the time, I like it."

"text": "\"From: Naval Aviation News, October 1967 compiled and edited by Senior Chief Journalist John D. Burlage Full-screen images are linked from the images in the text below. The day was a typical one for the 5,000 officers and enlisted men of the attack aircraft carrier USS Forrestal as the huge, 80,000-ton ship cut a wake through the calm waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. It was as typical as it could be, that is, for men at war. And the men of Forrestal were definitely in combat. For the first time since their ship was commissioned in October 1955, they had been launching aircraft from her flight deck on strikes against an enemy whose coastline was only a few miles over the horizon. The ship in which these men served was the first U. S. carrier built from the keel up with the angled deck that enables aircraft to be launched and recovered simultaneously. For four days, the planes of Attack Carrier Air Wing 17 had been launched on, and recovered from, about 150 missions against targets in North Vietnam. On the ship's four-acre flight deck, her crewmen went about the business at hand, the business of accomplishing the second launch of the fifth day in combat. Overhead, the hot, tropical sun beat down from a clear sky. It was just about 10:50 a.m. (local time), July 29, 1967."

Though still a niche market, trawler yachts have experienced a revival in recent years. And, known for it's timelessly handsome style and solid construction, few, if any, are more recognizable or in greater demand than the Grand Banks 42 Classic. Drawn by Ken Smith, the original Grand Banks 42 Classic design remained unchanged until 1991 when the company retooled and made the hull longer by eight inches and wider by six inches. While the GB42 Classic featured here is unquestionably the most popular model, there have been several variations on the original Classic model. The Motoryacht model extended the aft cabin to the hull sides and transom, eliminating deck space in favor of a larger owner's cabin while the Europa model eliminated the aft cabin all together in favor of a larger main saloon and covered aft deck. The somewhat rare Sport Cruiser model resembled the Europa but eliminated the covered side decks and the extended hardtop over the aft deck. All Grand Banks models are built by American Marine Limited which began operation in Hong Kong, later moved to Singapore and finally to Malaysia where production is now headquartered."

Regards, Old Smokey3rd Feb 2007, 10:02 # 5 ( permalink )Intruder Join Date: May 2000Location: Seattle Posts: 2,982Well... In the original question, altitude is not a constraint, only attitude; neither is airspeed or power. While Old Smokey is correct for the immediate transient effect, I'm not sure what the final, stable result will be. Seems to me that at constant attitude, AOA will depend on whether the airplane is climbing or descending in its final configuration... Constrain power as well, and added drag will determine airspeed and descent rate. At constant attitude, AOA will increase in a descent and decrease in a climb. Add power and constrain airspeed, and the lift provided by flaps will cause the airplane to climb, decreasing AOA. With slats, lift available depends on whether the increase in camber offsets the decrease in AOA...4th Feb 2007, 13:05 # 6 ( permalink )smith Join Date: Nov 2004Location: uk Posts: 1,226From my vague memory of my ATPL exams the slats have no effect on the chord length or camber of the surface, they re-energise the boundry layer and delay the formation of turbulent airflow over the wing."

"text": "\"Print E-mail Share Respond Analysis: Lee Sustar Can the teachers' unions come back? Lee Sustar asks whether teachers' unions will look to the 2012 strike in Chicago as a model for moving ahead--or continue their retreat in the name of \"\"partnership. \"\" July 10, 2014Chicago teachers on the march during their nine-day strike ARE THE leaders of the national teachers unions finally learning the lessons of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) strike of 2012? 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."

Ted Brewer reviews the ins and outs and ups and downs of keel design The purpose of a keel, fin, or centerboard is to provide resistance to making leeway; in effect, to keep the yacht from sliding sideways through the water due to wind pressure on the sails. Various shapes of underwater plane have been in and out of style over the past 150 years. The Fisher series, above, shows the full keel typical of Scottish fishing boats. The highly stylized shark fin, at bottom, has extreme rake and a sloping tip chord. The basic full-keel shape had the longest run, as it was the standard for bluewater sailing craft from pre-Roman times to the earliest days of yachting. The deep, full keel was supplemented in the mid-1800s, for the shoalwater areas of Britain and North America, by centerboard craft. These cover such working types as the sharpies, Cape Cod catboats, and Chesapeake Bay oyster skiffs, to mention a few. The first truly modern keel yacht, with a cutaway forefoot and highly raked rudder post, was designed by Capt."

March 26, 2012Recently I received a question from a reader wondering if a rather large supply of chocolate, 2 years past expiry, would still be good to use. It's a good question. And it doesn't really matter the quantity of chocolate. Here's my answer... The options to use expired chocolate depend on two things. Flavor Safety First Consider the Flavor of Expired Chocolate First, if it is milk chocolate it is probably too late and will taste rancid, like cardboard paper or worse. The dairy milk in there will not last that long and still taste good. The bad flavors will still show through even if you use it in baking or frosting. I would throw it out if it tastes funny. It is still safe to eat, but the off flavor will not be disguised."

It makes people a little squeamish to know it that yeast makes bread dough rise because it is a live single-celled organism. Specifically it is a variety of fungi called Saccharomyces cerivisiae, which is harnessed to eat, drink and be merry, before dying a quick death when exposed to oven heat. You can buy several different types of yeasts on the market. The first of these is called live or fresh yeast. This is relatively unstable, requiring refrigeration, and it has a very short shelf life. Dried versions, sold in packages or cubes is essentially cells of Saccharomyces cerivisiae, which are waiting to be activated. Ad Like many fungi types, yeasts for bread dough responds to warm water, which begins to bring the little cells to life. Then when exposed to sugars in bread and in flour, it begins to eat, digesting portions of these sugars. This eating process goes on for a short period of time only."

Plain white flour has the longest shelf life and specialty whole grain flours have the shortest, but all of them are perishable. Tips All flours can go bad if they are stored improperly or kept for too long, regardless of whether the packaging has been opened. Types of Flour The most common types of flour include all-purpose, cake, pastry and whole wheat, which are all made from the kernels of wheat. Whole wheat flour is derived from all parts of the kernel, including the bran, germ and endosperm. Other wheat-based flours are only made with the kernel's starchy endosperm. Because the germ is high in fat, whole wheat flour tends to spoil more quickly than other types of wheat-based flour. Non-wheat flours are made from other ingredients, including rice, rye, oats, buckwheat, corn and potatoes. Just like most of the ingredients from which they are derived, all forms of flour eventually spoil, which is why manufacturers list an expiration date on them."

Building an emergency pantry is one of those lifelines that takes both time and planning to make it fully functional. Ideally, you want to store shelf stable foods that your family normally consumes, as well as find foods that are multi-dynamic and serve many purposes. A few other points to consider when starting an emergency food pantry are: To store emergency foods that will not require refrigeration, and should require little electricity or fuel to prepare. The food should have a long shelf life. It should provide ample nutrition and contain little salt. In my book, The Prepper’s Cookbook: 300 Recipes to Turn Your Emergency Food into Nutritious, Delicious, Life-Saving Meals, I use the following essential food staples as the basis for the recipes. The following foods are all popular food staples that should be considered as “must haves” for your emergency pantries.

"text": "\"FLOUR, WHITE, ALL-PURPOSE - UNOPENED OR OPENED PACKAGEPantry1 year Refrigerator2 years Freezer2 years Tips How long does a package of white flour last? The precise answer depends to a large extent on storage conditions - to maximize the shelf life of white flour (all-purpose white flour) store in a cool, dry area. How long does white flour last at room temperature? Properly stored, a package of white flour will generally stay at best quality for about 1 year at room temperature. To maximize the shelf life of white flour once the package is opened, transfer flour to a covered airtight container or place original flour bag in a resealable plastic freezer bag. Is white flour safe to use after the \"\"expiration\"\" date on the package? Yes, provided it is properly stored and the package is undamaged - commercially packaged white flour will typically carry a \"\" Best By,\"\" \"\"Best if Used By,\"\" \"\"Best Before\"\", or \"\"Best When Used By\"\" date but this is not a safety date, it is the manufacturer's estimate of how long the white flour will remain at peak quality. Storage time shown is for best quality only - after that, the white flour's texture, color or flavor may change, but in most cases, it will still be safe to consume if it has been stored properly, the package is undamaged, and there are no signs of spoilage (see below). Can you keep white flour in the fridge or freezer? Yes, to further extend the shelf life of white flour, refrigerate or freeze it; place the white flour inside covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags."

Posted by Jaime Hartman On February 22, 2015 In Featured, My Thoughts, Personal 163 Comments A few months ago there was a flurry of emails and social media chatter going around about Thrive Market, a new business that was a cross between Whole Foods and Costco – meaning that you could get organic, real food at wholesale prices. I am always looking for ways to eat healthy without breaking the bank, so I was intrigued but didn’t investigate it much further until recently when I got to the bottom of yet another jar of expensive coconut butter on the same day that yet another friend told me how pleased she was with the prices and service at Thrive Market. Thrive Market is a membership program, which was the biggest issue holding me back from signing up right away. I already pay for both an Amazon Prime membership and a Costco membership and really didn’t want to get “suckered” into another one (nor did I want to give up either of those memberships!). Then I discovered that I could get a 30 day free trial before committing to the $59.95 annual fee, which would allow me to see the range of products they offer, exactly how much I could save on a typical order, and have first hand experience with their customer service. So I did just that! Here is what happened…What I ordered from Thrive Market Thrive Amazon Whole Foods BOB’S RED MILL ARROWROOT STARCH/FLOUR 16 ounce bag $3.95 $4.49 $6.69TRADITIONAL MEDICINALS GINGER TEA 16 bag s $3.65 $3.69 $4.49ARTISANA ORGANIC RAW VEGAN COCONUT BUTTER 16 ounce jar $9.45 $16.71 $13.99EPIC BACON CRANBERRY BISON 12 bars $24.05 $26.15 $38.18COCONUT SECRET ORGANIC RAW COCONUT AMINOS 8 ounce bottle $4.45 $11.95 $6.49GARDEN OF LIFE RAW ORGANIC PROTEIN POWDER 622 grams $23.95 $28.60 $39.99BRAGG ORGANIC APPLE CIDER VINEGAR 16 ounce $2.55 $8.88 $3.24 (NOTE: Prices were current on February 20, 2015)As you can see Thrive Market beat the prices on Amazon and my local health food store (Whole Foods) every time.

Storage time varies depend on the age of the beef before you brought it home and how it was stored previously, so it's always best to use it or freeze it as soon as possible. Storage Time Storage time depends on how old the beef is when you put it in your refrigerator. Most manufacturers have a “use by” or “sell by” date stamped on the package, and may have a packing date as well. If the ground beef is kept under constant refrigeration, you can safely keep it in the refrigerator until the “use by” date. If the package has a “sell by” date, the ground beef is usually good for one to two days after this date. If your beef has no date, or is thawed from freezer storage, it's best to store it for no more than two days in the refrigerator."

They stored them in a variety of ways, both refrigerated and unrefrigerated, to see how long they could keep. They concluded that unwashed eggs (aka, \"\"hen fruit\"\" or \"\"cackleberries\"\") stored in a sealed container, and kept at 35° to 40°F, were still perfectly edible after seven months: (1) Unwashed, fertile homestead eggs seem to store much better than washed, unfertile agribiz eggs. Why? Probably for the simple reason that they're unwashed ... and not because they're fertile. Hen fruit, as it comes from the chicken, is coated with a light layer of a natural sealing agent called \"\"bloom\"\"."

If the oatmeal is uncooked ,such as Quaker in the round box,the use by date is an indication of how fresh it will taste when cooked. You can safely cook and eat it after the expire date. I have,but sometimes it just doesn't taste as fresh. If,however,you have prepared it and left it out all night, for example,I would toss it out. Hope this helps you out. Lin R. · 8 years ago1 0 Comment We're talking dry oatmeal? Those expiration dates are pretty long off in the future (like a full year) so if you're just a couple months past I'd bet it's alright.

"text": "\"How Long Do Apples Last? How long do apples last? The shelf life of apples depends on a variety of factors, since there is not usually a sell by date, the only date you can go by is the purchased or picked date. Because of their relatively low cost, long Shelf Life, and proven health benefits, apples are one of the most popular fruits in the world and can be eaten right off the tree or cooked in hundreds of different ways. Remember, \"\" an apple a day keeps the doctor away\"\" because of their high fiber and vitamin content while having very few calories. So, how long do apples last? When properly stored, the shelf life of fresh apples past their sell by date is approximately: Apples Expiration Date (Unopened) Pantry Refrigerator Fresh Apples lasts for 2-4 Weeks 1-2 Months Packaged Fresh Cut Apples lasts for -- 3-5 Days Applesauce lasts for 1-2 Months (Unopened) 1-2 Weeks (Open)Apple Pie lasts for 1-2 Days 4-5 Days This range is broad because apples may be purchased, stored and prepared in many different ways, each which can result in a different expiration date. It's also hard to tell how long of a shelf life they already had at the grocery before they arrived in your home. There are so many different varieties ranging from soft and sweet to crisp and tangy. The firmer varieties, like Granny Smith, last longer than the softer varieties, like Golden Delicious."

It takes longer to see the final results from liposuction of the arms than most other areas. This is due to the fact the that there is not a localized fat deposit in the upper arm and that the skin is thinner and does not shrink back as well as other ares of the body. The liposuction has to be done in a way to avoid contour irregularities (dents), over-removal resulting in wrinkling and prevent making the skin loose and hang. For these reasons, less fat can be removed from the arm than other areas. Post-operative compression with a garment is important. I generally stress realistic expectations with this procedure as you are not going to see the dramatic movement in your arm measurements as in areas such as the thighs or abdomen. I would recommend discussing your concerns with your Plastic Surgeon. Best Regard, Andrew Lyos MD, FACSAndrew T. Lyos, MD, FACSHouston Plastic Surgeon70 reviewswww."

Women often have liposuction performed under the chin, hips, thighs, stomach, and in the under-arm/breast area. For men, common sites include under the chin and around the waist. Liposuction may also be used in the reduction of enlarged male breasts. Good candidates for liposuction are at or near their ideal weight, physically healthy, and realistic in their expectations. Age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin. During the initial consultation at their offices in Midland and Lubbock, Dr. Schmid and Dr. Mooty will discuss a personalized treatment plan and any complimentary surgeries, like a lift, that will create the patient’s best results. Surgical Technique Tumescent “Super-Wet”Tumescent liposuction is a common approach used by surgeons. It is a suction-assisted (SAL) form of lipo that first injects a liquid agent into the area that is to be treated. The liquid agent includes saline, Lidocaine (a numbing agent) and Epinephrine (a medication that controls bleeding)."

It is done in the office without general anesthesia or IVs. Traditional liposuction is traumatic because it requires the doctor to crush fat and then suck it out. Because of the force and strain that goes into traditional liposuction there is often significant bleeding, bruising, and long recovery times. Typically, general anesthesia or deep sedation in a hospital operating room are required for traditional liposuction. Water Lipo®, on the other hand, uses a gentle stream of water to dislodge fat that is then gently washed out of the body. Water Lipo® is considered safer than traditional liposuction, because it it is performed under local anesthesia. This reduces the overall medical risk and post-operative discomfort associated with general anesthesia.

Share Email Print Feedback Overview Liposuction is the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure in the United States. It is also referred to as liposculpture, lipoplasty, and suction-assisted lipectomy. The ideal candidate is physically fit and eats well-balanced meals but is unable to reduce a fatty deposit that is well localized and often seems to involve a genetic susceptibility. In the past, the surgery required blood transfusions because blood loss in the aspirate was significant. Dr Jeffrey Klein, a dermatologic surgeon, is credited as the originator of the tumescent technique, which has allowed liposuction to be performed with the patient under local anesthesia while minimizing blood loss and the risks of general anesthesia. Since its inception, liposuction performed with the tumescent technique has had an excellent safety profile. [ 1]History In 1921, Dujarrier, a French surgeon, curetted a ballerina's knees to create a better shape, but the patient developed gangrene and required an amputation. In 1964, Schrudde developed curettage and suction. Georgio and Arpad Fischer, Italian surgeons, developed cannulae and an internally rotating planatome and cellusuctiontome. Other cannulae were developed by Kesselring and Meyer and Illouz, the latter also developed the wet technique."

Initial Liposuction Results The initial results after liposuction are minimal and are not as dramatic as you want it to be as its swelling compromise all the missing fat for a while. Besides swelling, bruising and tenderness is rather evident after liposuction. The swelling is not as enlarged as it was before your Houston plastic surgery, but you definitely can feel that fat is removed from the area.

Offering the relaxation of a 40-minute massage with the benefits of inch loss!Rather than a painful incision, the Lipo Laser uses laser energy to safely (and painlessly) penetrate the skin and target specific adipose (or fat) cells. It is through this targeted process that the Lipo Laser is able to in fact stimulate the cell itself into releasing water, free fatty acids, and glycerol. Having released these three compounds, water, free fatty acids, and glycerol (often referred to as Triglycerides), the fat cells “shrink” significantly, resulting in inch loss for patients!How does the Lipo Laser Compare to Natural Weight Loss? As mentioned, the science behind the Lipo Laser lies in its ability to stimulate the release of triglycerides from the targeted fat cells. This process, the release of water, free fatty acids, and glycerol, from the adipose calls, is not only natural, it is essential for the human body to function. The human body is an energy machine; it intakes fuel (caloric intake), it converts the fuel into an energy source and stores it (as triglycerides in fat cells), and then releases it when the need arises (fat cells release stored triglycerides). The challenge in this fantastic process is that sometimes the body stores more energy than it needs in its fat cells, resulting in an increase in an individual’s physical size. Thus, it is by targeting this excess energy storage, and by further stimulating the body to undergo its natural process of releasing it, the the Lipo Laser achieves its impressive results.

Read about non-surgical, surgical and over-the-counter products that can help. By Alicia Doyle Reporter, Highya October 25, 2017Sagging and crepey skin on the upper arms is considered a sign of aging, and one that women especially want to improve. Fortunately, there is hope for women with this aesthetic condition, thanks to a number of surgical and non-surgical options, as well as creams and lotions on the market today. This article takes a look at what causes crepey skin on women’s arms, and how it differs from skin on other parts of the body. We also explore and compare surgical and non-surgical methods used to address this condition, as well as creams and lotions that have received top ratings. We’ve gathered input from several experts, including board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons, who offer their favorite methods that address crepey or sagging arm skin for women. Sagging and Crepey Arm Skin: Causes of Appearance Genetics, weight fluctuations, and age all contribute to excess skin or fat pockets under the arms, according to Dr. Christie Prendergast, a board-eligible plastic surgeon with Finesse Plastic Surgery in Southern California. “This can vary widely depending on weight changes and genetics, however, we typically see a higher incidence of patients with extra skin as they age,” Dr. Prendergast said. Sagging skin and crepiness on the arms have been a challenge to manage, but in the past decade great scientific developments in the energy-based and minimally invasive device industry have made it possible to provide great treatments, said Dr. Kally Papantoniou, a board-certified dermatologist specializing in cosmetic, laser and surgical dermatology in New York City, Queens and Eastern Long Island."

And indicators are that many more hospitals will join them in years to come. What sets the two degrees apart? The amount of ground covered, for one thing. A BSN program may feature some additional instruction in communication, leadership, critical thinking, and the social sciences. It prepares its students to take on a wider variety of roles, such as teaching, consulting, research, and administration. Not surprisingly, the BSN is also a bigger investment of time. An ADN involves around 21 months of study (According to an article presented by Rasmussen College ), at the end of which you take the NCLEX exam. Pass this exam, and you have an ADN."

However, it's estimated that the same amount of people live with it daily, but have yet to be discovered. It's the job of Pulmonologists to monitor these patients and all others with respiratory conditions. And the path towards learning how to become a Pulmonologist begins and ends with dedication. Delicate and complex, when the lungs become compromised, a host of symptoms may follow that include difficulty breathing, excessive coughing, and chest pains. When ignored, the overall health and life of an individual can take a turn for the worst, resulting in detrimental yet avoidable consequences. Pulmonologists are specially trained to address the diseases and conditions that affect the chest and lungs, which include pneumonia, tuberculosis, emphysema, and serious infections of the chest.

A pulmonologist (sometimes referred to as a pulmonary disease specialist) is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions and diseases associated with the lungs.

"text": "Investigating Transactions Using Dynamic Management Objects There can be a great difference in the performance of a particular routine in a test database, and in a fully loaded production system. When you hit performance problems in a database under load, and there is excessive locking and blocking, how can you determine exactly where the problems lie, in order to fix them? Read on... Every statement executed against SQL Server is transactional, and SQL Server implements various transaction isolation levels, to ensure the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability) properties of these transactions. In practical terms, this means that it uses locks and latches to mediate transactional access to shared database resources, and so prevent “interference” between the transactions. When a transaction encounters a locked resource it must, of course, wait for the resource to become free before proceeding. If such blocking occurs frequently or is protracted, it greatly restricts the number of concurrent users that can access the system. This article explains how to use the transaction-related Dynamic Management Objects (DMOs) to locate the transactions that are causing locking and blocking issues on their SQL Server instances, and the sessions to which they belong. Having located the offending transactions, the DBA can then take steps to alleviate the blocking, either by tuning the SQL or, if this is not possible, by careful scheduling of the more resource-hungry and/or longer-running business reports, so that they occur separately from the main Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) load. We’ll also examine how to use the transaction-related DMOs to, for example, investigate long-running transactions that may be preventing transaction log truncation, and transactions that are causing large amounts of data to be written to the transaction log, making it grow rapidly in size. What is a transaction, anyway?"

"text": "Questions Remain about Effects of Stopping Depo-Provera Depo Provera injection / Photo: Ciell (cc)By Rachel Walden | March 29, 20128.24.16: Check out our latest blog post by Laura Wershler of the Center for Menstrual Cycle Research: I Wouldn’t Recommend It to Anyone: What We Can Learn from Women who have had Bad Experiences with Depo-Provera.6.21.13 update: Our colleagues at the Center for Menstrual Cycle Research recently posted Stopping Depo-Provera: Why and What To Do About Adverse Experiences, an excellent interview with endocrinologist and OBOS contributor Dr. Jerilynn Prior, who shares her advice for managing symptoms after stopping Depo. Our 2009 post on side effects of stopping the injectable birth control Depo-Provera (depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, or DMPA) continues to generate important discussion — more than 100 women have shared their stories of adverse effects after stopping the drug. Although a quick internet search finds many women complaining of or asking about post-Depo symptoms, there isn’t much published scientific evidence on the topic. Frustratingly, there is really not much new on the topic in the 2 1/2 years since we first posted on this. There don’t appear to be ongoing or upcoming studies on the concerns we’ve heard, either. A few studies here and there report some effects, like how long it took for menstruation to return, how long periods lasted, and how long it took to become pregnant after stopping. Most of the existing research on women who stop using Depo-Provera seems to focus on bone mineral density. The drug comes with a “black box” warning that it may cause significant bone density losses, although research suggests that it’s possible that these losses may be made up after women stop taking the drug. The Society for Adolescent Medicine has said that “The data from all of these studies [of bone density in adolescent users] are encouraging, although it is unknown whether girls ultimately achieved the same peak bone mass as they would have in the absence of DMPA.” They also suggest that the advantages of preventing pregnancy may outweigh the risk for bone loss, but that patients should be informed of the potential for bone loss."

Thursday, March 28, 2013 by Meg Malone It’s possible to get birth control as a shot. | Source: Shutterstock We’ve covered other types of lesser-talked about birth control like IUDs, but today we’re jumping into a little fact session about the birth control shot. Depo-Provera is a shot that is administered to you by your doctor. That means you need to make a regular visit there every 12 weeks to get your shot. This allows a certain kind of privacy and convenience, as you don’t actually have to carry around birth control, take anything daily or be on top of checking on if it’s in. How does it work? The shot is a progestin form of birth control and it works by preventing eggs from being released from the ovaries, as well making cervical mucous thicker (which helps prevent sperm from reaching a woman’s eggs). If you get the shot within a week of your period’s start, Depo-Provera starts working right away."

Depo-Provera is not only discreet and convenient, it is as much as 99.7 percent effective when used correctly. As a progestin-only contraceptive, it may be a great choice if you are unable to use estrogen-based contraception. Depo-Provera side effects may occur as your body adjusts to the effects of the medication. Some are women affected more than others, and some may not experience any symptoms at all. The most common side effect of Depo-Provera (occurring in over five percent of women) include:1 Irregular Menstrual Bleeding Pamela Moore/Getty Images Many women stop using Depo Provera during the first year of use due to prolonged spotting or bleeding. These side effects are especially common during the first three months but can persist in some women for more than a year. Sadly, there is no way to predict who will experience bleeding or how severe the symptoms may be. In some cases, termination of treatment is the only option. For others, estrogen supplementation, Lysteda (tranexamic acid), and Ponstel (mefenamic acid) may provide short-term relief until the body better normalizes to effects of the drug.2 Termination of Periods Getty Images/Dorling Kindersley After a few shots, Depo Provera will usually stop menstruation."

No hormonal contraceptive methods provide protection from AIDS or othersexually transmitted diseases. Depo-Provera and Lunelle are given as an injection and work in several ways to preventconception.

Depo-Provera is given as an injection every three months. Depo-Provera typically suppresses ovulation, keeping your ovaries from releasing an egg.

I have many friends that are on Depo and they absolutely love it. I switched because the pill was starting to give me nausea and late cycle spotting. I was checked out for STD's and other problems and I am completely clean and healthy. Since the pill was giving me these problems, my doctor said it would be fine for me to switch to Depo. I had my first shot on November 4th, and I have been spotting pretty much ever since. I know spotting or bleeding is typical for the first while, but I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem? Spotting daily for over a month is a bit of a hassle, and a bit of a damper on a sex life. How long does it usually take for spotting to stop? Typically... Does anyone know anything that could stop the spotting?"

You can easily spend a small fortune, and you most likely did. So why would you not give your tattoo the best start it can get? Tattoo aftercare is about cleaning your tattoo and removing contaminates that could potentially cause an infection in your tattoo. Little to no aftercare can leave your tattoo dry and potentially susceptible to infections. A dried, scabbing tattoo with cracks can be susceptible to infection. As your tattoo begins healing the moment you leave the studio, you also need to begin looking after it immediately. During the first two hours, your body will secrete out plasma and excess ink. This plasma, a blood by-product, contributes significantly towards the development of scabs."

For some it may be a fashion statement, and for others, a tattoo may have religious, cultural or personal meaning. Whatever the reason, deciding to get a tattoo is a big decision that will leave permanent markings on your body. What you should consider before getting a tattoo: Are there any reasons not to get a tattoo? You shouldn’t get a tattoo on a whim or on a dare or if you’re high. It’s important to know why you’re making this life-changing decision. This may seem obvious, but some teens get tattoos because of peer pressure, rather than truly wanting one.

Many people believe they look good and feel better when they have a tan. Will the tanning lotion speed up the tanning process? The products that we sell are designed to topically provide vitamins and skin care ingredients that may be depleted during tanning and many contain cosmetic bronzers to help you look darker, faster. Why Is Indoor Tanning \"\"Smart Tanning?\"\" Indoor tanning, if you can develop a tan, is an intelligent way to minimize the risk of sunburn while maximizing the enjoyment and benefit of having a tan. We call this SMART TANNING because tanners are taught by trained tanning facility personnel how their skin type reacts to sunlight and how to avoid sunburn outdoors, as well as in a salon.

This changes the skin’s pigment and can be used to create almost any image imaginable. Permanent makeup is also a form of tattooing. This is when permanent ink is used to mimic the look of eyeliner, lip liner, eyebrow pencil, or other kinds of makeup. Tattoos have become more and more popular in recent years. According to the Pew Research Center, almost four of every 10 people born after 1980 have at least one tattoo. Piercing is another popular form of body art. This is a type of body modification where a needle punctures a hole in the body. Jewelry is then inserted in this hole. Ears, noses, eyebrows, tongues, lips, navels, nipples, genitals, and other body parts can be pierced."

"text": "The Basic Elements to Proper Tattoo Shading The ability to do good shading is a skill that can really make a difference in the quality of a tattoo. Tattoo artists spend years perfecting their shading skills in order to make their designs really stand out. There are so many aspects that go into learning proper shading techniques, but there are some basics that every tattoo artist should learn early on. The Machine – A 10-coil machine can be sued for shading, but it’s best for small areas. A 12-coil machine is a better choice, as it has the power needed to run the larger needle groupings that are used to cover bigger surfaces. Speed – Many artists find that their shading goes better if the speed on the machine is higher than they typically run it for lining. Preparing the Area – Shading takes place after outlining, and it is recommended to clean the entire area of the tattoo with soap and water. This helps to get rid of excess ink left by the lining process, as well as to get off any stencil marks or sticky residue that have been left behind. Black vs. Color – The term “shading” can be used differently. In some shops, it refers only to using black ink to add dimension to a tattoo."

Surgical excision is best employed for small tattoos on loose skin but always leaves a scar. Dermabrasion involves sanding the skin with a rotating wire brush and may leave a scar or a pale area. There is a possibility that the tattoo may still be visible even after several treatments. The results seen by dermabrasion depend on how deeply into the skin layers the tattoo ink was injected. The deeper the injection, the less likely that dermabrasion will have good results. Laser removal has become the treatment of choice. Tattoo Removal lasers target tattoo ink and rapidly heat it. Heat causes ink to expand and break up into smaller particles."

I’ll be honest with you…I’ve normally gone into the gym and lifted the day following my tattoo but let me breakdown and explain the how and the why behind this. I don’t go to the gym with a new tattoo the day I get it. There is a simple reason for this, you definitely want to leave the bandaging that your artist applies to the tattoo for a few hours post session.

"text": "Laser Tattoo Removal: What to Know In this Article How It Works Side Effects Find a Reputable Doctor Nearly 30% of people in the U. S. have at least one tattoo. Almost half of all millennials have one. But not all of them are happy about their decision. As many as 25% of those with a tattoo say they regret getting it. If you’re in that 25%, there is good news. Laser tattoo removal techniques can get rid of your unwanted tattoo with minimal side effects. How It Works Lasers remove tattoos by breaking up the pigment colors with a high-intensity light beam. Black tattoo pigment absorbs all laser wavelengths, making it the easiest color to treat. Other colors can only be treated by selected lasers based upon the pigment color. You should first schedule a consultation with a trained professional who can evaluate your tattoo and advise you on the process."

Finding the right laser specialist can be difficult whether you live in a small town or a large city. Your options can either be very limited or overwhelming depending on where you live. Either way, if you want to find the best tattoo removal specialist, you must do your homework. Often the easiest way to find a reputable clinic is to ask someone who has been through the tattoo removal process. Having had multiple treatments, they often have a wealth of knowledge because they have already built up a professional relationship with their laser operator. They can inform you about the facilities cleanliness, professionalism, equipment, pricing, and the efficiency of their treatments. If you cannot find someone that has had tattoo removal, try visiting a few tattoo parlors in your area. Tattoo artists often send their clients to laser clinics to have old or poor tattoos lightened so they can do more detailed cover ups."

Many types of viruses can cause a common cold. Children younger than six are at greatest risk of colds, but healthy adults can also expect to have two or three colds annually. Most people recover from a common cold in a week or 10 days. Symptoms might last longer in people who smoke. If symptoms don't improve, see your doctor. Symptoms Symptoms of a common cold usually appear one to three days after exposure to a cold-causing virus.

Academics who looked back at 67 studies examining the effectiveness of cold preventions and remedies discovered that few live up to the hype. Traditional remedies like echinacea, ginseng, vapour rubs and cough medicine were found to have no clear benefits while antibiotics were likely to cause more harm than good, the researchers concluded. Out of all the studies, only taking a zinc supplement was found to be beneficial at preventing colds. Drugs like ibuprofen and paracetamol were found to be useful at reducing fever and taking honey soothed a sore throat. General hand washing was also effective at preventing the illness spreading, the authors concluded.

Although the common cold is usually mild, with symptoms lasting one to two weeks, it is a leading cause of doctor visits and of school and job absenteeism. The Problem In the course of a year, individuals in the United States suffer 1 billion colds, according to some estimates. Adults average about two to four colds a year, although the range varies widely. Women, especially those aged 20 to 30 years, have more colds than men. The Causes The Viruses. More than 200 different viruses are known to cause the symptoms of the common cold. Some, such as the rhinoviruses, seldom produce serious illnesses. Others, such as parainfluenza and respiratory syncytial virus, produce mild infections in adults but can precipitate severe lower respiratory infections in young children. Rhinoviruses (from the Greek rhin, meaning \"\"nose\"\") cause an estimated 30 to 35 percent of all adult colds, and are most active in early fall, spring and summer."

You know that nagging cough - the one that seems to linger for days or even weeks? It may be acute bronchitis, a respiratory tract infection that is usually a result of the common cold or flu (influenza) virus. Your doctor might call it a chest cold. Cough occurs when the airways in the lungs swell and produce mucus. So just how do you treat these nagging coughs? Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi -- the main air passages to the lungs. Acute bronchitis usually does not need an antibiotic treatment, as it is viral in nature, often stemming from a cold or the flu, and is self-limiting. Typical symptoms may include chest congestion, a productive cough that lasts more than five days, fatigue, shortness of breath, and mild fever or chills. Bronchitis can rarely lead to a more serious condition when there is a secondary bacterial infection, such as pneumonia, and may require medical treatment, antibiotics, and even hospitalization."

We’re giving ourselves the best treatment known to science: rest. But to judge from the products offered at our pharmacies, you’d think there were dozens of options to treat a cold. In local pharmacies and in the medicines aisle at my local grocery store, I’ve found row after row of colorful packages, claiming to relieve cold symptoms, shorten the duration of the common cold, and more. Some of these medications actually do treat symptoms, but none of them cure a cold. But mixed among them—sometimes side by side with real medicines—I found several products that don’t work at all. How can a drug manufacturer get away with this? Simple: the products that don’t work are either supplements or homeopathic products. The manufacturers of both these types of “medicines” have successfully lobbied Congress to pass laws that exempt them from FDA regulation."

Or is it simply popular due to a widespread misbelief? Most scientists agree that vitamin C is not an effective treatment for the common cold. In a study by researchers at the University of Toronto, subjects were divided into two groups: an experimental group that received vitamin C pills at the onset of cold symptoms, and a control group that received placebo pills. After several months, the researchers assessed the effectiveness of the pills based on the number of colds and days of sickness experienced by individuals in each group. They found that participants who had received the vitamin C pills were not significantly healthier than those who took the placebos. Numerous other studies have confirmed this result, which leads us to question — why does the myth of vitamin C as a healing agent persist?"

It also greatly reduces the severity of symptoms. The authors of the review did not make any suggestions as to what type of zinc product to buy. They also did not suggest an optimal dose or formulation, stating that more research was needed before such a recommendation could be made. Zinc supplements also have downsides -- they can cause nausea and a bad taste in the mouth, and they may interfere with your body's uptake of other key minerals. According to the New York Times:\"\"Zinc experts say that many over-the-counter zinc products may not be as effective as those studied by researchers because commercial lozenges and syrups often are made with different formulations of zinc and various flavors and binders that can alter the effectiveness of the treatment. \"\" Colds are transmitted only by droplets, such as from sneezing, that come from a person who's infected.

They have the advantage of lasting for some weeks rather than having to take a daily tablet. These contraceptive injections are made up of a hormone similar to progesterone. Depo-Provera and Noristerat are given as an injection into a muscle, usually in the woman's buttock, whilst Sayana Press in given by injection under the skin, usually in the abdomen or front of the thigh. Depo-Provera and Sayana Press provide protection against pregnancy for up to 13 weeks, Noristerat injection is effective for up to eight weeks. The injections must be given on time to stay protected against pregnancy. How soon do the injections work? Contraception with injections begins immediately if given during the first five days of your menstrual period. If given on any other day of the cycle then it only becomes effective after seven days.

Chemically, flumazenil is ethyl 8-fluoro-5,6-dihydro-5-methyl-6-oxo-4H-imidazo [1,5-a] (1,4)benzodiazepine-3-carboxylate. Flumazenil has an imidazobenzodiazepine structure and the following structural formula: Flumazenil is a white to off-white crystalline compound with an octanol:buffer partition coefficient of 14 to 1 at p H 7.4. It is insoluble in water but slightly soluble in acidic aqueous solutions. Flumazenil Injection, USP is available as a sterile parenteral dosage form for intravenous administration. Each m L contains 0.1 mg of flumazenil compounded with 1.8 mg of methylparaben, 0.2 mg of propylparaben, 0.9% sodium chloride, 0.01% edetate disodium, and 0.01% acetic acid; the p H is adjusted to approximately 3.8 to 4.3 with hydrochloric acid and/or, if necessary, sodium hydroxide. Slideshow Mammogram Memos: What You Need To Know CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Flumazenil, an imidazobenzodiazepine derivative, antagonizes the actions of benzodiazepines on the central nervous system. Flumazenil competitively inhibits the activity at the benzodiazepine recognition site on the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor complex. Flumazenil is a weak partial agonist in some animal models of activity, but has little or no agonist activity in man. Flumazenil does not antagonize the central nervous system effects of drugs affecting GABA-ergic neurons by means other than the benzodiazepine receptor (including ethanol, barbiturates, or general anesthetics) and does not reverse the effects of opioids."

It is sometimes called Depo-Provera or Depo. How does the injection prevent pregnancy? In order to get pregnant, sperm must enter your vagina*, swim up into your uterus and fertilize an egg that has been released from your ovaries during ovulation. The injection prevents you from ovulating. The injection thickens the mucus on your cervix (the opening of the uterus). This makes it harder for sperm to travel into your uterus and fertilize an egg. The injection also thins the lining of your uterus (the endometrium). This makes it harder for a fertilized egg to implant in your uterus and become a pregnancy."

A more recent article on corticosteroid injections for musculoskeletal conditions is available. Injections are valuable procedures for managing musculoskeletal conditions commonly encountered by family physicians. Corticosteroid injections into articular, periarticular, or soft tissue structures relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. Injections can provide diagnostic information and are commonly used for postoperative pain control. Local anesthetics may be injected with corticosteroids to provide additional, rapid pain relief. Steroid injection is the preferred and definitive treatment for de Quervain tenosynovitis and trochanteric bursitis. Steroid injections can also be helpful in controlling pain during physical rehabilitation from rotator cuff syndrome and lateral epicondylitis.

Cortisone injections increase the risk of joint surgery. Cortisone injections increase the need for secondary surgery and possible higher risk for post-surgical infections in the joint. Corticosteroids can alter the healing environment of the joint by effecting damage on the native stem cells in cartilage. Do you have a question about finding an alternative to cortisone shots? Get help and information from our Caring Medical staff. New research is providing more warnings that cortisone does not heal and in fact accelerates deterioration of already damaged joints. It is my opinion that the increase in number of hip and knee replacements is a direct result of the injection of corticosteroids into these joints The fact that new research is pouring in on the detrimental effects of cortisone injections should not convince anyone that suddenly medicine is being alerted to the risk of corticosteroids. The dangers of cortisone injections have long been known. But in eagerness by health professionals and the patients themselves to get instant relief, the dangers were accepted as part of the treatment, the let’s manage the pain until the patient is ready for joint replacement treatment."

Of all the side effects associated with high-dose anabolic steroid use, the most immediately dangerous is the way they affect the cardiovascular system. Although a direct cause-and-effect relationship has never been established between steroid use and cardiovascular disease, many cases published in the medical literature point an accusatory finger at injudicious steroid use as being the primary cause of death from CVD. I’ve discussed in past columns how steroids can harm the cardiovascular system, but here’s a brief summary of a few of the mechanisms. Taking steroids can lead to an enlarged heart that goes beyond that induced by exercise alone. That can set you up for future heart failure. Steroids can also damage the cells of the heart muscle, which, in turn, can put you at risk for a fatal electrical disturbance in heart rhythm known as an “arrhythmia.” Steroids are linked to higher blood pressure, which is the primary risk factor for strokes. The immediate cause of most heart attacks is an internal clot that obstructs a coronary artery. Steroids come into play because they promote internal clotting."

The mildest is hydrocortisone. Prednisolone, methylprednisolone and triamcinolone are stronger and tend to be less soluble, remaining in the joint for longer. Benefit from the stronger drugs is associated with a slightly increased risk of local side-effects. Why has this treatment been recommended for me? For rheumatoid arthritis and related diseases, the injection is given to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain within a joint. Although osteoarthritis is mainly a 'wear and tear' condition, steroid injections are often given for this as well."

"text": "Radiation Therapy What is radiation therapy and how does it work? Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. It affects cells only in the part of the body that is treated with the radiation. Breast cancer radiation therapy may be used to destroy any remaining mutated cells that remain in the breast or armpit area after surgery. Note: There are special situations in which radiation is used for women with metastatic breast cancer experiencing painful bone metastasis. This section however focused on the use of radiation for adjuvant therapy (treatment given after the main treatment to lower the chance of breast cancer returning). Who should expect to be prescribed radiation therapy and what is involved? Some people with Stage 0 (DCIS) and most people with Stage 1 invasive cancer and higher, who have had a lumpectomy, can expect radiation therapy to be a part of their treatment regimen. Most radiation therapy is administered by a radiation oncologist at a radiation center and usually begins three to four weeks after surgery. The radiation is used to destroy undetectable cancer cells and reduce the risk of cancer recurring in the affected breast."

Late effects in childhood cancer survivors affect the body and mind. There are three important factors that affect the risk of late effects. The chance of having late effects increases over time. Regular follow-up care is very important for survivors of childhood cancer. Good health habits are also important for survivors of childhood cancer. Late effects are health problems that occur months or years after treatment has ended. The treatment of cancer may cause health problems for childhood cancer survivors months or years after successful treatment has ended. Cancer treatments may harm the body's organs, tissues, or bones and cause health problems later in life. These health problems are called late effects."

What kind of treatment follow-up should I expect? Are there any new developments in treating my disease? Lung cancer overview More than one in four of all diagnosed cancers involve the lung, and lung cancer remains the most common cancer-related cause of death among American men and women. In 2012, more than 160,000 lung cancer deaths occurred, outnumbering deaths from breast, prostate and colon cancers combined. At the same time, it may well be that a great many lung cancers are preventable. Inhaling cancer-causing substances such as tobacco smoke may lead to changes in the lung tissue shortly after exposure — so-called precancerous changes. Nevertheless, cancer itself typically develops over a period of many years, and if detected at an early enough stage can often be treated successfully using a variety of treatments.top of page What are my treatment options?"

Because these cells divide and grow at a faster rate than normal cells they are more likely to be destroyed by radiation. In contrast although they may be damaged, healthy cells generally recover. Unfortunately radiation treatment causes short and long term side effects. RD can damage blood vessels that nourish muscles, nerves, and bones that can result in a progressive condition called \"\"radiation fibrosis syndrome\"\", which causes a variety of complications affecting nerve, muscles, and bones.

"text": "Questions You May Have About Radiation Therapy How does radiation therapy work? All cells in our body, including healthy and cancerous cells, grow and divide. However, cancer cells grow and divide more rapidly than many of the normal cells around them, making them more sensitive to radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses special equipment to deliver high doses of radiation to cancerous tumors, destroying the genetic material of the cells which kills or damages them so they cannot grow, multiply, or spread. Radiation may affect healthy cells; however, most normal cells appear to recover fully from the effects of the treatment. Unlike chemotherapy, which exposes the entire body to cancer-fighting chemicals, radiation therapy affects only the tumor and the surrounding area. How is radiation therapy given? Radiation therapy can be given externally or internally (called brachytherapy). During external radiation, the most common type of radiation therapy, a machine directs high-energy rays at the cancer and some normal surrounding tissue. In brachytherapy, a radioactive source is implanted directly into the cancerous area."

"text": "Stage III (C) Prostate Cancer Overview Prostate cancer is referred to as stage III if the cancer has extended through the capsule that encloses the prostate gland and may involve nearby tissues. Stage III prostate cancer is further divided into the following categories, depending on how extensive the cancer is: T3a: The tumor has extended outside of the prostate on one side. T3b: The tumor has extended outside of the prostate on both sides. T3c: The tumor has invaded one or both of the seminal vesicles, which are small bag-like organs near the bladder. Prostate cancer is typically a disease of aging. It may persist undetected for many years without causing symptoms. Patients with stage III prostate cancer are curable and have a number of treatment options, including external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with or without hormone therapy, surgical removal of the cancer with radical prostatectomy, or active surveillance without immediate treatment. It is important for patients to obtain as much information as possible about the results of each treatment modality and to obtain more than one opinion on the matter, especially when deciding on surgery versus radiation therapy. Despite the prostate cancer being treated locally with radiation or surgery, over half of patients will experience recurrence of their cancer. Given the poor results of treatment with radiation or surgery alone, it is increasingly common to use one or more treatment strategies in combination."

Introduction Radiation and radioactive materials are part of our environment. The radiation in the environment comes from both cosmic radiation that originates in outer space, and from radioactive materials that occur naturally in the earth and in our own bodies. Together, these are known as background radiation. Everyone is exposed to background radiation daily. In addition, radiation and radioactive materials are produced by many human activities. Radiation is produced by x-ray equipment and by particle accelerators used in research and medicine. Radioactive materials are produced in nuclear reactors and particle accelerators. Today, radiation is a common and valuable tool in medicine, research and industry. It is used in medicine to diagnose illnesses, and in high doses, to treat diseases such as cancer."

Radiation Therapy Definition Radiation therapy, sometimes called radiotherapy, x-ray therapy radiation treatment, cobalttherapy, electron beam therapy, or irradiation uses high energy, penetrating waves or particlessuch as x rays, gamma rays, proton rays, or neutron rays to destroy cancer cells or keep themfrom reproducing. Purpose The purpose of radiation therapy is to kill or damage cancer cells. Radiation therapy is a common form of cancer therapy. It is used in more than half of all cancer cases. Radiationtherapy can be used:alone to kill cancerbefore surgery to shrink a tumor and make it easier to removeduring surgery to kill cancer cells that may remain in surrounding tissue after the surgery (called intraoperative radiation)after surgery to kill cancer cells remaining in the bodyto shrink an inoperable tumor in order to and reduce pain and improve quality of life.in combination with chemotherapy For some kinds of cancers such as early-stage Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,and certain types of prostate, or brain cancer, radiation therapy alone may cure the disease. In other cases, radiation therapy used in conjunction with surgery, chemotherapy, or both,increases survival rates over any of these therapies used alone. Precautions Radiation therapy does not make the person having the treatments radioactive. In almost allcases, the benefits of this therapy outweigh the risks. However radiation therapy can have hasserious consequences, so anyone contemplating it should be sure understand why the treatmentteam believes it is the best possible treatment option for their cancer."

However, this next section summarizes key points to consider when your PSA is rising after undergoing initial treatment. About 25-33% of men with prostate cancer will experience a recurrence of their cancer after surgery or radiation. Some of these men can still be cured with radiation after surgery, or with other local therapies after radiation. However, some men develop a form of prostate cancer that, while not curable, remains TREATABLE for a very long time. Below is a list of questions to ask when your PSA is rising after initial treatment. What does it mean that my PSA level is rising again? What is my PSA level now and how will we monitor changes over time? Can we (should we) chart the velocity or doubling time of my PSA? What can this tell us about my prognosis?"

"text": "Overview External beam radiation for prostate cancer External beam radiation for prostate cancer uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays or protons, to kill cancer cells. During external beam radiation for prostate cancer, the high-energy beams are generated by a machine called a linear accelerator that aims the beams at your prostate gland. External beam radiation for prostate cancer kills cancer cells by destroying the genetic material that controls how cells grow and divide. Healthy cells in the beam's path also are affected by external beam radiation therapy, resulting in side effects. The goal of external beam radiation for prostate cancer is to destroy the cancerous cells while sparing as much of the normal surrounding tissue as possible. External beam radiation for prostate cancer is one of the standard treatment options to treat prostate cancer. It may also be used for men who have prostate cancer that comes back after surgery. Why it's done Your doctor may recommend external beam radiation for prostate cancer as an option at different times during your cancer treatment and for different reasons, including: As the only (primary) treatment for cancer, usually for early-stage cancer that is confined to your prostate In combination with other treatments, such as hormone therapy, for more-serious cancer that's still confined to your prostate After surgery, to reduce the risk of cancer returning (adjuvant therapy)After surgery, when there is indication that your cancer has recurred either in the form of increased levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood or clinical evidence of cancer in your pelvis To alleviate symptoms, such as bone pain, caused by advanced cancer that has spread beyond the prostate Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Risks The type and severity of side effects you have with external beam radiation for prostate cancer may depend on the dose and on the amount of healthy tissue that's exposed to the radiation. Most side effects are temporary, can be controlled and generally improve over time once treatment has ended. Newer technologies, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or proton beam, deliver the highest dose of radiation to the target while sparing surrounding healthy tissue."

"text": "\"By Dan Listwa August 09, 2012What are the long term health effects from the two atomic bombs dropped on human populations? Illustration by Etienne Cipriani Following the atomic explosion over Hiroshima,many survivors feared that nothing would grow on the decimated earth. By the time spring of 1946 arrived, the citizens of Hiroshima were surprised to find the landscape dotted with the blooming red petals of the oleander. The oleander flower, called the kyochikuto in Japanese, dispelled worries that the destroyed city had lost all its fertility and inspired the population with hope that Hiroshima would soon recover from the tragic bombing. Now the official flower of Hiroshima, the oleander offers a beautiful symbol for the city as a whole; while some feared that the city and its population were irreparably destroyed—permanently cut off from normality by the effects of radiation—many would be surprised to learn of the limited long term health effects the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 have had. Within the first few months after the bombing... between 90,000 and 166,000 people died in Hiroshima, while another 60,000 to 80,000 died in Nagasaki. Within the first few months after the bombing, it is estimated by the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (a cooperative Japan-U. S. organization) that between 90,000 and 166,000 people died in Hiroshima, while another 60,000 to 80,000 died in Nagasaki. These deaths include those who died due to the force and excruciating heat of the explosions as well as deaths caused by acute radiation exposure. While these numbers represent imprecise estimates—due to the fact that it is unknown how many forced laborers and military personnel were present in the city and that in many cases entire families were killed, leaving no one to report the deaths—statistics regarding the long term effects have been even more difficult to determine. Though exposure to radiation can cause acute, near-immediate effect by killing cells and directly damaging tissue, radiation can also have effects that happen on longer scale, such as cancer, by causing mutations in the DNA of living cells."

The reactor was destroyed in the accident and considerable amounts of radioactive material were released to the environment. The accident caused the deaths, within a few weeks, of 30 workers and radiation injuries to over a hundred others. In response, the authorities evacuated, in 1986, about 115,000 people from areas surrounding the reactor and subsequently relocated, after 1986, about 220,000 people from Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine. The accident caused serious social and psychological disruption in the lives of those affected and vast economic losses over the entire region. Large areas of the three countries were contaminated with radioactive materials, and radionuclides from the Chernobyl release were measurable in all countries of the northern hemisphere. Among the residents of Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine, there had been up to the year 2005 more than 6,000 cases of thyroid cancer reported in children and adolescents who were exposed at the time of the accident, and more cases can be expected during the next decades. Notwithstanding the influence of enhanced screening regimes, many of those cancers were most likely caused by radiation exposures shortly after the accident. Apart from this increase, there is no evidence of a major public health impact attributable to radiation exposure two decades after the accident. There is no scientific evidence of increases in overall cancer incidence or mortality rates or in rates of non-malignant disorders that could be related to radiation exposure."

"text": "\"Knee Replacement Infection: Crucial Steps To Prevent Yours Last Updated January 6, 2016 by Howard J. Luks, MDA knee replacement infection is an awful problem to deal with. An infection of a knee replacement is one of the worst complications we worry about. That’s because it is very difficult to treat a knee after it is infected. Multiple surgical procedures and long term antibiotics are needed to attempt to rid your body of an infection once your knee replacement is infected. Because an infection is difficult to manage, it is very important to focus on preventing a knee replacement infection in the first place. Sponsored Links Prevention is worth it’s weight in gold. Preventing knee replacement infections can be broken down in 3 broad stages: Preventing infection BEFORE your knee replacement surgery Preventing infection DURING the surgery Preventing infection AFTER your surgery Preventing an infection Before Your Knee Replacement: Dental evaluation: Your mouth can be a source of bacteria which can get into your blood and go to your knee. Make sure you have no cavities or decay that needs attention before your surgery. Showering with Chlorhexidine: Bacteria can live deep within our hair shafts. Showering for 5 days with an antibacterial soap can decrease the number of bacteria significantly."

"text": "Knee Replacement Pain - How Long Does it Last After Surgery? By Jerry Seaman | Submitted On November 24, 20091 1 2 1 1 1 1 2 1You have finally made the difficult decision to have knee replacement surgery. To get to this point, you probably have been on that long road of seemingly never-ending pain. Now you want to find out what you can expect to happen after your surgery. Just how long will you continue to be in pain after you replace your knee joint, and what kind of pain should you expect? Well, the standard answer is to say that everyone's body will respond differently to the surgery, and you might have better or worse results than the average patient. While that is certainly true, it doesn't help one bit to get you prepared for how you will be feeling after your surgery. A better answer is to say that you will experience swelling and pain after your surgery. You will be giving medications to help you manage that pain. After the initial healing period following your surgery, it is up to you whether you make a full pain free recovery or not."

Articles - Hip and Knee Thursday, 11 June 2009 18:08 Written by Jeremy Reither Most patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery want to know when they'll be able to return to their normal life. \"\" Recovery time\"\" is a common question posed to specialists and non-specialists alike. There are many factors that can contribute to recovery time, but typically patients can return to normal life activities within 1 to 6 months. To be more specific, however, we can examine the difference between \"\"short-term recovery\"\" and \"\"long-term recovery\"\". Short-term recovery involves the early stages of recovery, such as the ability to get out of the hospital bed and be discharged from the hospital. On days 1 or 2, most total knee replacement patients are given a walker to stabilize them. By the third day after the surgery, most patients can go home. Short-term recovery also involves getting off major pain killers and having a full night's sleep without pills."

"text": "Total Hip Replacement The first step when making the decision about hip replacement is to meet with your surgeon to see if you are a candidate for total hip replacement surgery. Your surgeon will take your medical history, perform a physical examination and X-ray your hip. Even if the pain is significant, and the X-rays show advanced arthritis of the joint, the first line of treatment is nearly always non-operative. This includes weight loss if appropriate, an exercise regimen, medication, injections, or bracing. If the symptoms persist despite these measures, and with corroborating X-rays, then you may consider surgery. The decision to move forward with surgery is not always straight forward and usually involves a thoughtful conversation with yourself, your loved ones and ultimately your surgeon. The final decision rests on you based on the pain and disability from the arthritis influencing your quality of life and daily activities. Those who decide to proceed with surgery commonly report that their symptoms keep them from participating in activities that are important to them like walking, taking stairs, working, sleeping, putting on socks and shoes, sitting for long periods of time. Surgery is the next option when non-operative treatments have failed. Below are answers to the most common questions about total hip replacement surgery."

Within the first 24 hours, you’ll begin standing and walking using an assistive device with the help of a physical therapist (PT). In fact, it’s critical to get up and use your artificial knee as soon as possible. Expect the PT to provide exercises that will help strengthen your muscles and guide you through them every day. Your PT will also demonstrate how to get in and out of your bed and move around with the aid of an assistive device, such as a walker, crutches, or a cane.

"text": "\"Osteotomy literally means \"\"cutting of the bone.\"\" In a knee osteotomy, either the tibia (shinbone) or femur (thighbone) is cut and then reshaped to relieve pressure on the knee joint. Knee osteotomy is used when a patient has early-stage osteoarthritis that has damaged just one side of the knee joint. By shifting weight off of the damaged side of the joint, an osteotomy can relieve pain and significantly improve function in an arthritic knee. Description Osteoarthritis can develop when the bones of your knee and leg do not line up properly. This can put extra stress on either the inner (medial) or outer (lateral) side of your knee. Over time, this extra pressure can wear away the smooth articular cartilage that protects the bones, causing pain and stiffness in your knee. Advantages and Disadvantages Knee osteotomy has three goals: To transfer weight from the arthritic part of the knee to a healthier area To correct poor knee alignment To prolong the life span of the knee joint One advantage of the procedure is that, by preserving your own knee anatomy, a successful osteotomy may delay the need for a joint replacement for several years. Another advantage is that there are no restrictions on physical activities after an osteotomy—you will be able to participate in your favorite activities, even high-impact exercise. Osteotomy does have disadvantages."

"text": "Dan Caplinger ( TMFGalagan)Jun 27, 2016 at 7:01AMImage source: Getty Images. Many Americans spend their entire careers looking forward to retiring, and receiving Social Security benefits can be the cornerstone of figuring out when you can finally retire from your work. Your full retirement age under Social Security is somewhere between 66 and 67, depending on when you were born, but you can claim retirement benefits as early as age 62. However, as you'll see below, when you claim your Social Security benefits can make a huge difference in how much you get. Let's take a closer look at Social Security's rules and what they say about your decision on when to start getting monthly checks from the government. How much less will I get at 62 from Social Security? Social Security has fairly complex rules governing how much it pays in benefits. In order to calculate the proper amount, the Social Security Administration looks at your entire earnings history, choosing the 35 top earning years on an inflation-adjusted basis and then taking the average indexed monthly earnings from those 35 years. The resulting average then goes through a formula to come up with the primary insurance amount. This is what you'll receive if you retire at full retirement age."

The size of your benefit will depend heavily on how much you earned during your working life. Generally speaking, the more you earned, the higher your benefit will be. But factors beyond your control, such as inflation and formulas programmed into Social Security computers, will figure in, too. See also: What's new today on AARP.org?

"text": "\"Home » Retirement How Much Am I Allowed to Earn After Drawing Social Security Benefits?by Jane Amar; Updated July 27, 2017The earnings test has been a Social Security feature throughout the program’s history. Originally, benefits stopped if a recipient had any earnings, since benefits were meant to replace earnings due to complete retirement. The unpopularity of the law has resulted in liberalizations. Currently, the test no longer applies to many beneficiaries once they reach a certain age, and the amounts beneficiaries can earn while receiving benefits increases regularly with the cost-of-living index. Early Retirement Earnings Limits The earliest age at which workers can retire is 62. Until the year in which he reaches full retirement age – currently age 66 for most retirees -- gross earnings above a threshold could affect benefits. The limit, which varies annually, is $14,160 in 2010. Half of earnings above this limit offset Social Security benefits due for the year. For example, if the retiree earns $20,000 during the year, half of the $5,840 excess -- $2,920 -- offsets benefits. If he is due $1,200 monthly, Social Security withholds the first $2,920 due for the year and pays the rest."

Electrolyte needs vary much more than either caloric or hydration needs, so you will have to experiment quite a bit in training until you have this aspect of your fueling tailored to your specific requirements under various conditions. Electrolytes are analogous to the motor oil in your car—they don’t make the engine run, but they’re absolutely necessary to keep everything running smoothly."

Actually, a standard whole blood collection only takes 5-10 minutes, but there are several procedures that are associated with it. Going to a hospital to donate blood, or to any other medical institution have several steps that need to be completed before you can donate blood. For instance, the basic steps include that a registration is required , and a brief medical screening is done. And a questionnaire needs to be filled out. Answering the questionnaire may take ten minutes as it will ask questions about your medical history, personal information and if you pass the eligibility to donate blood. You will have to sign the form to ensure that you are voluntarily giving blood and are aware of the consequences. The consequences are not serious but may cause some dizziness.

The best time for a pregnancy test to be positive it usually when your period is late or three weeks after having unprotected sex. If you test too early the test will be negative even if you are pregnant. So test when your period is a few days late for a more accurate result. Answer Implantation usually occurs about 5-7 days after conception but can occur later. 5-7 days is an average. Testing before then will give you a negative test. You will not get a positive until implantation occurs since you don't secret Hc G until then."

HCG pregnancy tests determine pregnancy through the detection of the hormone h CG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in a woman's urine. In technical terms, h CG is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after a fertilized egg has implanted in the uterine lining. Clinically speaking, HCG is measured in thousandths of International Units, or m IU. Pregnancy tests with a sensitivity of 20 m IU/ml are more sensitive than tests with 50 to 100 m IU/ml. Test brands will display how sensitive their tests are using m IU as the standard unit of measure. Test sensitivity equates with early-detection - and the lower the number, the sooner a test can detect pregnancy. The most sensitive pregnancy tests can detect h CG levels at as low as 20 m IU - or at around 8 days following implantation of the egg.

Most often, this form of fertility treatment is considered when normal conception methods have not been successful. This is also the first fertility treatment method considered before a doctor assigns more advanced methods of fertility treatment. Most doctors prescribe fertility drugs before conducting the IUI. Upon detection of the LH surge and examination of the follicles the doctor conducts the IUI procedure. This procedure may be conducted for up to six cycles.

"text": "When Exactly Does Conception Occur? by Lori Ramsey The question is often asked exactly when conception occurs, especially if intercourse and ovulation are on separate days. There are many things that come into play here leading up to conception. I will explain each to give you a clearer picture of this wonderful process. First, the body begins to prepare for ovulation on the first day of the menstrual cycle. This is known as day one of your cycle. It is during this time that the ovaries start preparing a few follicles to be the potential egg. After your bleeding period is over, your body starts producing estrogen, and the ovaries are being primed for ovulation. It is during this time that the cervical fluid becomes more “fertile”. If the cervical fluid becomes fertile up to five days prior to ovulation and you have sexual intercourse, the sperm can live inside your fallopian tube during this time."

Whether you’ve been trying to get pregnant and have had no luck thus far or if you are wanting to be sure that you’re not pregnant you’re going to want to make sure that the pregnancy test you use is as accurate and clear as possible. The goal of a home pregnancy test is to put your mind at rest, however, the only 100% way to be sure if you’re pregnant or not is to see a doctor and get a blood test done. The Top Pick Clearblue Easy Plus Pregnancy Test, 2 Count View on Amazon It’s time to go with the tried, trusted and true Clearblue brand. It is so straight-forward and clear. No other brand is more trusted and no other model so accurate. You urinate on the applicator and wait there will either be a minus symbol which is a universal symbol for a negative result or there will be a plus sign which is a universal symbol for a positive result. This pack comes with two tests, which is a good idea because if you think you might be pregnant and you get one negative result, you should wait for 3 days and test again, assuming you don’t get your period. If you want to be sure that you’re not pregnant only two negative results will do! Good luck."

Hey and those ovulation sticks are pretty good too, you can get them at a drug store! Good luck! Answer Try going to the bathroom before sex. After sexual intercourse it is advisable for a woman to lay on her back, you may even want to put a pillow under your bum to elevate the body, for at least 30 - 45mins. Going to the bathroom immediately after sex will cause the sperm to swim the opposite direction.47 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Once you're sure you've missed it, you can take one. Here is more input and advice on the subject: You need to wait for your period to start or you will not get the correct results. Some newer home pregnancy tests do promise results a few days before you period is expected, but those may not be as reliable. You really should wait for your period to be late to be sure that it's been long enough, that being said and understanding the need to know. Some of the more sensitive tests on the market allow you to test up to 4 days before your period is due."

To help get you set we asked Anna Sandall of the Tax Institute the best practices involved in keeping tax records including how long you should hold onto those past returns. How long should I keep tax returns? In most cases, you should plan on keeping tax returns along with any supporting documents for a period of at least three years following the date you filed or the due date of your tax return, whichever is later. So for example, if you filed your 2015 tax return on February 1, 2016, you should have kept the return and supporting documents until at least April 15, 2017. What tax records should I keep? You should keep every tax return and supporting forms. This includes W-2s, 1099s, expense tracking, mileage logs if you itemize and other documents. So why is keeping tax returns for three years important?"

For most taxpayers, getting your return prepared and filed is the end of a long road. Yet what happens after you've filed your tax return can be equally important. By making sure that you hold onto your tax records as long as you need to, you'll avoid what can become major problems down the road. Let's take a closer look at what you'll need to handle a potential audit and to help you prepare future tax returns. The general rule for tax records Typically, the IRS has three years to audit your tax return. The clock starts when you file your tax return, or on the due date for the return if you file it before the deadline. For instance, if you file your 2016 tax return on May 15, 2017, then the government will have until May 15, 2020 to go after you."

How long you have to file a divorce response depends on which state you live in, but the time frame should be noted on the original petition.

This is no different in the current tax season where a number of folks have commented on potential and actuals delays with their refunds. In fact for the current tax season the IRS has already announced that there will likely be tax refund payment delays. In particular for those claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit ( EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit ( ACTC) refunds may not be processed until after February 15 (with payments coming 2 weeks later) in order to perform further identity verification checks. Keeping checking WMR for updates and exact dates on your refund payment. You should no longer be seeing the PATH message as a blocker to get your refund processed and paid. If held up for other reasons (see below) you will get the applicable message/follow-up action. Here is more refund information from some online tax providers – > Turbo Tax ; H&R Block ; Tax Act Other reasons your refund may be delayed per the IRSAdditional or random security checks – especially if fraudulent activities were associated with your filing in the past Amended returns require additional, and manual processing, which can see refunds delayed for up to 16 weeks Missing or incomplete documentation or information in your return (most online tax filing software checks for this, but manually filed returns are more at risk)Incorrect bank details or account numbers provided in your return (see below for how to address)If you are using a pre-paid card for the first time and were using a middleman bank (SBBT, Republic, Bofi, etc), some people have had their refund not deposited because the middleman bank does not test deposits to ensure the account is active and correct You filed an injured spouse claim Refund claims with an application for an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) attached (see Topic 857 for more information on this)If you requested a refund of tax withheld on a Form 1042-S (PDF) by filing a Form 1040NR (PDF), allow up to 6 months from the original due date of the 1040NR return or the date you actually filed the 1040NR, whichever is later, to receive any refund due (see more details in tax topic 152)Here is a sampling of comments from the current and past tax seasons around IRS refund payment delays: So basically if you claim your children/EIC are you going to be delayed?

Posted by admin on November 11, 2013Last modified: December 21, 2016Fall is a great time to go through old belongings, throw out and donate what you don’t need and organize what you want to keep. Fall cleaning often means throwing out a bunch of useless papers and junk. However, it’s a good idea to be careful of throwing away old tax returns. The general rule of thumb is to keep previous year tax returns for three years, although depending on your situation, you may need to keep old tax returns for a longer period of time. The Three Year Rule You should keep tax returns for three years from the date you filed or three years from the due date. The reason is linked to the IRS statute of limitations. The IRS has the right to review (audit) all tax returns for three years. Not only that, they also have the right to request supporting documents for your income and deductions reported. That means, you should also keep any supporting documents for three years."

The sponsor has to submit a legally binding affidavit of support for the beneficiary to USCIS, in which the sponsor guarantees to maintain the standard of living of the intending immigrant at a level not lower than 125% of the national poverty level. This obligation continues until the beneficiary has become a U. S. citizen, or has worked in the United States for 40 qualifying quarters."

Update: literally none of those websites answered my questions.there are websites telling me to go to other websites. Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: If you e-file, you usually can expect your refund within as little as 10 business days with direct deposit. It could take as long as 6 weeks. Filing this early though, you should not have a problem and should see your refund, I'd say no later than Feb 16th.

"text": "Dan Caplinger ( TMFGalagan)Jul 17, 2016 at 6:42AMImage source: Getty Images. Keeping vital financial records is important in order to make sure you can handle potential issues in the future. Yet once most people file their tax returns, the last thing they want to think about is whether they might have to refer back to them at some point. You need to keep tax returns for at least a few years to make sure that the Internal Revenue Service doesn't have any issues with them, but beyond that, many people wonder how long they should keep holding onto old returns. Why do I need to keep tax returns at all? Many people figure that once they've filed their returns, there's little reason to keep them. However, at the very least, the reason to hold onto your tax returns is that the IRS can come back and challenge what you've put on your return. You want to be prepared if an IRS audit comes your way, and not even having your tax return will make you look less than well-prepared for an audit. In most cases, the IRS has three years to audit your tax return, starting on either the filing deadline or the date on which you file your return, whichever is later. Therefore, if you filed your 2012 tax return in a timely manner, then the IRS probably no longer has the ability to audit it, because the return was due on April 15, 2013, and three years have passed since then."

"text": "How Long Do I Have to Keep Those Papers? You’re swimming in paper. This article helps you know what to keep and what to toss. The ground rules: You should keep all your tax records for at least the three years the IRS has to audit you and assess any additional taxes. The IRS has six years if you understated your gross income by more than 25%. Some accounting organizations are recommending that all records be kept for a minimum of seven years. There is no statute of limitations if you failed to file a return or filed fraudulent returns. In these cases there would be no statute of limitations on how long you had to have kept your records.. Tax returns and supporting documents: At the minimum, keep them three years. I am becoming more inclined to say that all records should be kept for a minimum of seven years after their appearance on a tax return. I like keeping the tax returns but not the supporting documents forever for the very rare times a governmental agency sends a notice out saying you haven’t filed a tax return you in fact filed years ago."

Determining Your GRE Goal Score It’s important to keep in mind that a good GRE score is different for everyone. For one thing, your GRE score is only a small piece of your application. If the rest of your resume is stellar, then your GRE score might just be a small factor that gets your application past the first reviewer. Different academic disciplines and sub-disciplines have different GRE requirements (an engineering program is going to require a higher math score than a philosophy program), so it’s important to take into account the average GRE scores for programs within your specific discipline."

"text": "Online MBA Admissions The admissions process can feel laborious at times, as prospective students prepare for exams, narrow their school list, seek out reference letters, and figure out how to pay for all of it. The following guide takes a methodical approach to laying out all these steps and helping students develop a game plan for each step. The difficulty of getting into an MBA program depends on the institution. For example, Emory University’s business school reported a 41% acceptance rate in 2017 while Brigham Young University reported a 52% rate. Many find gaining entrance into an MBA program challenging, and prospective students should note that MBA coursework is challenging in its own right. As a result, admissions offices look for students who can handle the rigor of MBA programs. Before determining which schools you want to apply to, you should make yourself into the best applicant possible. For some, that means completing extra classes to meet prerequisite requirements or volunteering to boost their resume. For others it means looking for leadership opportunities or getting a head start on studying for the GMAT or GRE. The admissions process can feel laborious at times, as prospective students prepare for exams, narrow their school list, seek out reference letters, and figure out how to pay for all of it."

"text": "Cars & Transportation Car Makes Subaru How many miles on synthetic oil???? How much can I drive with synthetic oil, I have Subaru with 84000 miles, last oil change with synthetic was 8500 miles ago. Will my car blow up??? Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: No it won't blow up, but you do need to at least check the level. Most cars now say in their owners manuals to change oil every 7500 miles, and that is regular oil not synthetic. I think for anyone that isn't changing oil often, because of time or whatever reason, they should use a good synthetic like Mobil1 and change it 12 months or 12000 miles max. Have to check the level now and then tho, you may burn a bit, leak a bit. When Mobil 1 first came out, they were testing it for 100k miles or more, and found the engines still within manufacturers specs.rkfire · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment OK rookies, here it is from the race team that uses synthetics. Synthetic oil can, and does last far longer than petroleum based oils, but it is the condition of the motor that decides the longevity of the oil, no matter which kind you use. Gas naturally seeps into the oil system and dilutes the oil, and water condensation also enters a crankcase via condensation."

If the low oil light has come on, that means the oil level has dropped to the point that it needs immediate attention. I suggest you study the vehicle's owner's manual and learn how to check and add oil yourself. Ignoring it for thousands of miles is an invitation for expensive engine damage. Source (s): I have learned from the mistakes of myself and others.john · 8 years ago0 1 Comment Engine Oil Is Low Source (s):https://shrinkurl.im/a0YMHheinen · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Look at your owners manual and go by that and not what the sticker says. Oil companies want you to change your oil every 3,000 miles so they can sell more oil. The vehicle manufacturer usually suggests 7500 miles between changes. If you are low on oil simply buy 2 quarts and add 1 quart wait a few minutes then check it again, if it's still low add the other quart and you should be fine until your next oil change. Hope this helps."

In doing so, I decided I wanted to use synthetic oil in the the engine. At the first oil change I switched over to an off the shelf leading synthetic oil.

"text": "How Many Miles Between Oil Changes? Knowing when to change the oil in your vehicle used to be simple. There was a common standard: Do it every 3,000 miles. With technologically advanced engines and synthetic oils constantly being developed and reformulated, it’s not quite that easy anymore. Your car’s engine needs oil to keep moving parts lubricated, especially since the tolerances are minuscule between parts such as the bearings, crank, rings, and cylinder walls. Differing temperatures cause the metal parts to expand and contract, and when those parts are expanded, the tolerances are even tighter. Without a lubricant, the engine might seize. Changing this lubricant — your oil — on a regular basis ensures that it performs as designed. Synthetic Oil Change Interval If you are using synthetic oil, the interval between oil changes can be extended. Manufacturer recommendations range from 5,000 miles to 7,500 miles, on average."

On most late model vehicles, the factory recommended service interval for changing your oil and oil filter is typically once a year or every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (which ever comes first). Some vehicle manufacturers even recommend 10,000 mile oil change intervals. Others have no recommended service interval but instead rely on an oil service reminder light to let you know when an oil change is due. Some oil reminder lights may not come on for as many as 10,000 to 12,000 miles or more under ideal driving conditions (Note: such extended oil intervals are usually based on using a synthetic motor oil, not conventional motor oil). For passenger car and light truck diesel engines and turbocharged gasoline engines, the traditional recommended service interval is typically every 3,000 miles or six months (which ever comes first). But this recommendation has changed on most late model cars and trucks. How Long Should You Wait To Change Oil? If you read the fine print in your owners manual scheduled maintenance section, you will often discover that many extended oil change intervals (those beyond 5,000 miles) are for vehicles that are driven under \"\"ideal\"\" operating conditions."

Hi guys and gals, I have a quick question. My '05 Frontier says in the owners manual that the manual transmission has a capacity of 2 3/8 qts, but when I just changed it, I got more than that out and when I put in 3 qts it still wasn't dribbling out the fill hole. Do you know what the capacity really is? I am hopping it is right at 3, but am not exactly sure how much I got out. If you know, that would be great. Thank you, Michael BTW - Mine is an '05 with the 6spd manual and V6.

Knowing lots of manual transmissions, I'd say you're pretty close to having it full and it might only take another few ounces to get the oil weeping out of the fill/check hole. In other words, I think it's safe to button it up and drive to the store to get another quart."

I know there's something you're supposed to do with Honda's regarding valve timing maintenance or something, but I'm just not sure what or how to do that. I hope I haven't done anything to my bike.

"text": "Home / Pregnancy / Prenatal Care & Tests / Prenatal Tests When and how can I find out my baby's sex? The Baby Center Editorial Team Most pregnant women find out their baby's sex (if they choose to know) during their mid-pregnancy ultrasound, usually between 16 and 20 weeks. However, the technician may not be able to tell for sure if she can't get a clear view of the baby's genitals. While a baby's penis or vulva begins forming as early as 6 weeks, boy and girl babies look very similar on ultrasound until about 14 weeks, and it can still be hard to tell them apart for several weeks after that. By 18 weeks, an ultrasound technician should be able to identify the sex if the baby is in a position that allows the genitals to be seen. If not, you may be able to find out the sex if you have another ultrasound later. Some people find out their baby's sex through noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT). This is a blood test that can detect Down syndrome and a few other chromosomal conditions at 10 weeks of pregnancy or later. It also looks for pieces of the male sex chromosome in the expectant mother's blood to see if she's carrying a boy or a girl. Other people find out their baby's sex from a genetic test like CVS or amniocentesis."

"text": "At How Many Weeks Pregnant Can You Find Out a Baby's Gender?by KATHRYN RATELIFF BARR June 13, 2017Almost every woman with a visible baby bump has been asked whether she is having a girl or a boy. The gender of the baby is determined at conception, although differentiation of the sexual organs does not begin until the middle of the sixth week of gestation, according to the NOVA article, “How Is Sex Determined?” Various tests can inform parents of the baby’s gender. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Chorionic Villus Sampling Chorionic villus sampling is generally performed at the end of the first trimester, as early as 10 weeks but more often between weeks 10 and 12 after your last menstrual period, according to the Web MD article, “Pregnancy and Chorionic Villus Sampling.” The test removes cells from the edge of the placenta and is used to detect various conditions such as Down syndrome, sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis and Tay-Sachs disease, but it can also reveal the baby’s gender. The test may cause miscarriage, vaginal bleeding or fluid leakage and, in rare cases, damage to the baby’s fingers and toes. Obstetricians might recommend the CVS for pregnant women who are over 35, have abnormal genetic testing results or have had a previous baby with birth defects. Sampling Amniotic Fluid An amniocentesis samples amniotic fluid using a needle inserted into the uterus through the abdominal wall, generally performed in the 16th week of pregnancy or later. The risk for miscarriage with an amniocentesis is less than the risk from the CVS, according to Web MD. The test is performed for the same reasons your doctor might recommend the CVS or if you have an abnormal ultrasound."

That big ultrasound just can’t get here soon enough! Interestingly, you may not have to wait as long as your doctor says. Here are five methods that may be able to tell you the gender of your baby as early as six weeks into your pregnancy! However, you may not want to go painting the baby’s room blue or pink just yet. Genital Tubercle Angle Theory There has been research to suggest that the gender of your baby can be 98.7% accuratley determined via ultrasound around 12 weeks utilizing the genital tubercle theory. Genital tubercle is the medical term for the “nub” that forms around week 4 of gestation that eventually becomes either a penis or clitoris. While it is still too early to clearly make out boy or girl parts at 12 weeks gestation, apparently the gender can be determined based on the angle of the nub (the genital tubercle). To determine gender based on a 12-14 week ultrasound, a profile view of the genital region is needed. A horizontal line can then be drawn along the lower portion of the spine and then another one through the genital tubercle (see below)."

About 80 percent of parents actually choose to find out during pregnancy whether they're having a boy or a girl. If you're not interested in finding out, that's fine too. But if your curiosity is peaked, here are ways to forecast the sex of your baby. Mid-Pregnancy Ultrasound Ultrasound is probably the most common method of finding out the gender of a baby. This is generally done between 18 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. ( If your practitioner schedules an ultrasound at this point on a routine basis, your insurance may or may not cover the charge. ) Sometimes you may even have to schedule an ultrasound with the specific intent of finding out the baby's sex. This can run you upwards of $300 out of pocket and is generally not covered by insurance. Remember, an ultrasound can't always tell the sex of the baby, isn't always right, and sometimes the office policies are not to tell you the gender."

Please click here to watch a video demonstrating the use of the pink or blue® test . Is the DNA Gender Testing Science Proven? One of the most exciting outcomes of recent genetic research is the discovery that there is fetal DNA in an expectant mother’s blood as soon as five weeks gestation all the way through to delivery of the child. During pregnancy, small amounts of the baby’s DNA pass into the mother’s blood stream. We are able to isolate and analyze this fetal DNA from the mother’s blood sample obtained through a simple finger prick. Pink or Blue® is specific for detecting DNA from a Y-chromosome. The expectant mother would not normally have Y-chromosomal DNA. Thus, if a Y-chromosome is detected, we can determine she will have a baby boy."

"text": "A detailed description of the genetic testing options available during your pregnancy. While most babies are born healthy and without birth defects, approximately 3-5% of all babies are born with a birth defect. Some of these babies will have birth defects that are due to or associated with genetic disorders or syndromes. There are a variety of reasons that a pregnancy may be at increased risk for birth defects or genetic disorders. For example, if the mother or the father of the baby has a personal or family history of a genetic disorder or birth defect, that baby may be more likely to also have that birth defect or genetic disorder. If this is the case for you, please talk to your doctor or advanced practice nurse about scheduling a consultation with a genetic counselor to discuss possible risks to your pregnancy or future pregnancies. Many times, when a genetic disorder occurs in a pregnancy, it is due to a random genetic accident. Therefore, just because you and the father of your baby have healthy families and are healthy yourselves, this does not mean that your pregnancy may not be at risk for having a birth defect or genetic disorder. There are certain birth defects and genetic disorders that all pregnancies can be screened or tested for if a woman wants this information. All of these tests are optional and some women choose to do them while others do not."

Many accurate methods and inaccurate myths that exist to predict the gender of the baby and the Ramzi Method is somewhere in between. The Ramzi Method determines gender of a baby at six weeks by looking at an ultrasound picture to see which side the placenta is on. If the placenta is on the right the research has shown that there is a very high likelihood the child will be a boy. If the placenta is on the left then a very high likelihood exists the child will be a girl. When looking at the ultrasound picture, to use the Ramzi method do not pay attention to what side the baby is on. Instead, pay attention to the uterus and see if the placenta is implanted on the right side or the left side of the uterus. Note that a trans-vaginal picture will be on the side that you see, for instance if the placenta is on the right when you see it then it is on the right. On the other hand, if the ultrasound picture is abdominal view you would reverse the side meaning seeing the placenta on the right side would actually make it on the left side. The lengthy research involved studying 5,000 fetuses and comparing the location of the placenta to the resulting gender of the child."

"text": "Just Mommies Pregnancy / Second Trimester How Early Can You Find Out Your Baby's Gender with an Ultrasound? By Just Mommies staff For centuries, expectant parents had to wait until the moment of giving birth to learn the sex of their babies. Of course, there have always been old wives’ tales and superstitions about figuring out baby sex, but thanks to the wonders of modern technology, moms and dads these days are able to find out a baby’s sex with ultrasound months before delivery. This is most commonly done between weeks 18 and 26 of the pregnancy, but some newer ultrasound technology can determine the baby’s sex as early as 12 or 13 weeks. Finding Out Your Baby’s Sex with Ultrasound Ultrasounds don’t just reveal the baby’s gender; the procedure is done mainly to take an early look at the fetus to make sure it’s developing properly. During an ultrasound, the technician moves a device over the mother’s stomach that sends high-frequency sound waves through her uterus. The sound waves create a picture of the fetus that is viewed simultaneously on a monitor. Depending on the age and position of the fetus, the technician should be able to accurately determine whtether the child will be a boy or a girl. This is based on the technician’s recognition of the baby's male or female genitalia. Before 18 weeks of gestation, male and female sex organs can appear similar, which is why most ultrasounds to determine sex are performed after this point of fetal development."

Although the main reason for having an ultrasound is not to find out whether you're having a boy or a girl, you may be able to find out via ultrasound before your baby is born. Can I find out my baby's gender in a first trimester scan? The sex of a baby is genetically determined at conception, but during the early development of embryos, they all look the same. It’s very unlikely you’ll get to know the sex at a first trimester scan. All embryos have a small bud or swelling. It's known as the genital nub or protuberance. If you are having a boy, testosterone starts being produced when you are about seven weeks pregnant, prompting the bud to grow and develop into a penis and scrotum."

"text": "QUESTIONWhen will I be able to find out my baby's gender on a scan? Share ANSWERChrissie Hammonds Midwife sonographer. Many parents are keen to know the sex of their baby before it’s born. Although the main reason for having an ultrasound is not to find out whether you're having a boy or a girl, you may be able to find out via ultrasound before your baby is born. Can I find out my baby's gender in a first trimester scan? The sex of a baby is genetically determined at conception, but during the early development of embryos, they all look the same. It’s very unlikely you’ll get to know the sex at a first trimester scan. All embryos have a small bud or swelling. It's known as the genital nub or protuberance. If you are having a boy, testosterone starts being produced when you are about seven weeks pregnant, prompting the bud to grow and develop into a penis and scrotum."

"text": "Car Seats & Strollers Kids Activities & Play Baby Products What to Know About Car Seat Expiration By Heather Corley Updated 04/01/18Share Pin Email Kid Stock/Getty Images Did you know that car seats expire? Many parents don't realize their child's car seat is approaching the end of its useful life. If the car seat has been passed down between siblings or friends' kids, it may even have expired already. It's a common car seat mistake. Car seat expiration may seem like just a ploy to get you to buy a new car seat, but these limits are in place to give your child the best possible protection in a crash. Why Do Car Seats Expire? Crash data and tests are constantly being used to make changes to car seats so they can do a better job of protecting children in crashes. Using a car seat that is many years old could mean your child's car seat isn't utilizing newer technologies that could be lifesaving in a crash, or it could be out of date in terms of safety standards. Older car seats are also more likely to have been involved in a recall that was missed, which could mean there's a dangerous problem with the seat. If a convertible or combination car seat has been transitioned several times between various modes, having the harnessed removed and replaced, for example, there could be missing pieces or parts that have broken over time."

"text": "Can you get a ticket in Michigan for using an ‘expired’ children’s car seat? September 18, 2012 by Steven Gursten Is there such a thing as an “expired” car seat? What parents need to know about complying with the law Did you know that you could get a ticket in Michigan for using an “expired” children’s car seat? It’s true. According to the Michigan State Police: If your use of an expired children’s car seat “results in the child not being properly restrained” in accordance with the “child restraint manufacturer’s instructions,” the “vehicle manufacturer’s instructions” and federal regulations, then “a Michigan State Police enforcement member may issue a citation for this violation.” ( 7/9/2012 e-mail statement to Michigan Auto Law)Twitter question The issue of the legal significance of an “expired” car seat came up because of a question that Michigan Auto Law received through its Twitter feed. The question, which came from @jhollinger, was:“Can we be ticketed in MI for having an ‘expired’ car seat?”Michigan children’s car seat law Upon receiving @jhollinger’s question, we immediately consulted Michigan’s law governing the use of children’s car seats. However, as can be seen in the following language from Michigan’s “child restraint” and “booster seat” laws, Michigan law is silent about the specific legal significance of an “expired” children’s car seat. Child restraint law: “ [E]ach driver transporting a child less than 4 years of age in a motor vehicle shall properly secure that child in a child restraint system that meets the standards prescribed in 49 CFR 571.213.” ( MCL 257.710d)Booster seat law: “A child who is 4 years of age or older but less than 8 years of age and who is less than 4 feet 9 inches in height shall be properly secured in a child restraint system in accordance with the child restraint manufacturer’s and vehicle manufacturer’s instructions and the standards prescribed in 49 CFR 571.213.” ("

"text": "No matter how well your delivery went, how perfectly prepared the nursery is or how madly in love you are with your brand-new baby, there’s nothing quite as nerve-wracking as that first drive home. Having a car seat you feel comfortable with should make things at least a teensy bit less tense. ( And by the way, you won’t be allowed to leave the hospital at all without one. ) Style There are two basic options for a newborn: infant carriers and convertible car seats. Infant carriers are generally good for about the first year and function as an entire travel system: They latch into a base that stays in your car and can also be snapped into specific strollers or stroller frames. ( If you decide to go this route, make sure your carrier is compatible with your stroller.) This means when you’re out with baby, there’s no need to unbuckle and buckle (and risk waking up a sleeping baby) when you take him from home to the car to the stroller and back again. For suburban families who use both the car and stroller frequently, this is generally the way to go. Look for a handle that’s comfortable for carrying —this becomes more important the older (and bigger) baby gets. If you live in a city and will be taking cabs or for some other reason will be using lots of different cars, make sure to get a carrier that can also be installed without the base."

Most commonly these seats are purchased and installed by consumers, but car manufacturers may integrate them directly into their vehicle's design and generally are required to provide anchors and to ensure seat belt compatibility. Many jurisdictions require children defined by age, weight, and/or height to use a government-approved child safety seat when riding in a vehicle. Child safety seats provide passive restraints and must be properly used to be effective. However, research indicates many child safety restraints are often not used properly. ["

And I just wanted to let you know that even though her infant car seat would hold up to 22lbs she just started to look so big in it that I decided to get a bigger one that could be rear facing and forward facing.. By 6-9 months they will be too heavy to carry around in their carseat you will probably just want to leave the carseat in the car and carry them (atleast thats what worked best for me)Anonymous · 10 years ago2 2 Comment Asker's rating My baby weighs 19 lbs and is 10 months old. It really depends on the baby though cause I just met another baby the other day and he was 4 months old and weighed 20 lbs. Crazy I know! Anyways, I would ask people what they think about the stroller/carseat you are looking at buying before you get it. I did and it was a big help in making my decision. Good luck!

We thought we’d share what we learned about traveling via a rail pass and life aboard Amtrak. About the Amtrak USA Rail Pass [wp_campaign_1]If you’re contemplating more than a couple segments via Amtrak, it might be worth looking into at least a 15-day rail pass to save money and potentially open up new adventures. Individually purchased fairs on Amtrak are generally not competitive with airfare. Amtrak currently offers 3 different rail passes, and unlike in the past, they are available for purchase by anyone :15 -day/8 Segments – $389 ($194.50 for kids 15 and under)30-day / 12 Segments – $579 ($289.50 for kids 15 and under)45-day / 18 Segments – $749 ($374.50 for kids 15 and under)The pass is good for all Amtrak routes within the USA, and can include their buses and alternate transportation methods. The passes are for a set length of time, with a maximum number of segments. A segment is defined as anytime you get on a train and then switch to another. So if you’re booking a cross country journey from Savannah, Georgia to Eugene, Oregon – it’ll count as 4 segments. You’ll change trains in Washington, DC, Chicago and San Francisco (or Seattle/Portland if you take the northern route). If you decide to stop along the way for a night or two, say in Denver, that would count as an additional segment."

Ads You May Be Interested in Renew Drivers License Replace Drivers License Take a Practice Test Change your Address Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2014-12-26 11:00 Facebook Google Twitter Linkedin Car seats are key for ensuring maximum child passenger safety, but even though most parents know this, there is one fact about car seats that many people are not aware of, which can compromise their structural integrity. It's the fact that car seats have an expiration date, with many parents having troubles determining how long they can use their child's car seat. While some parents may think that car seat expiration dates are just an advertising trick from manufacturers to try and make a bigger profit, there is actually a pretty good reason why car seats are only recommended to be used for a certain amount of time. Parents are advised to stop using their child's car seat after 5 or 6 years, as it may not be able to provide the necessary level of protection because some of the materials will start wearing down after a while. The belts might loosen up and the plastic on certain parts of the seat might start to fracture, so your kid will not be properly restrained and the seat's integrity will be compromised. Also, at the time your seat was built, there might have been different safety standards in effect, which have changed after several years and now your seat doesn't meet the current standards, so you should consider getting a newer one that employs the latest safety technologies. While all car seats do have an expiration date, it is often difficult to locate. In most cases, you can see the expiration date on the label that is usually underneath the seat or on its sides. However, the label might not show the date of expiration, but the date of manufacture."

Several questions we’re asked are “What is the difference between these seats?” “ Is this seat similar to that seat?” “ How do I know which one I want?” If you’ve had any of those thoughts, you’re not alone. Sometimes when manufacturers produce many restraints, and especially when several are released to market within a shorter period, parents and caregivers can be a little caught up in a tizzy of information and options. There are currently a grand total of 16 convertible and All-in-1 Graco seats unexpired and on the market, but several of those seats are identical versions sold under different names in different locations. Not included in that number are the Nautilus and Argos combination seats, which are sometimes sold as “3-in-1” seats, but do not have a rear facing mode. Here’s the full list of restraints, grouped together with similar or identical versions: Comfort Sport and Classic Ride 50/Ready Ride, My Ride 65 and My Ride 70 (including the LX and DLX versions), Size4me 70/My Size 70 and Head Wise 70, Size4Me 65/Fit4Me 65/My Size 65 and Head Wise 65, Contender 65, Smart Seat All-in-1, Milestone All-in-1, and 4Ever All-in-1."

A: No. Under Washington State law, a 16-year-old is legally capable of consenting to having sexual contact. There are some exceptions. A person could be guilty of indecent liberties if someone with supervisory authority causes another to have sexual contact. The third-degree child molestation law – the charge that applies for sexual contact with teens 14 up to age 16 – applies to perpetrators at least four years older than the victim. Neither of those cases apply in the UW basketball player investigation, in which both police and prosecutors believed there wasn’t sufficient evidence for a charge.

"text": "Dogs > Vaccines Bordetella Vaccine for Dogs The bordetella vaccine may be administered to dogs to prevent certain respiratory infections including the kennel cough. The vaccine is not compulsory, but may prevent a series of symptoms and problems in canines. The vaccine can be administered along with other vaccines, as it will require several doses, which will train the dog’s immune system. There are some controversies regarding the benefits of the vaccine and some people claim that the vaccines can have many negative effects. Respiratory Infections and the Kennel Cough Many respiratory infections are caused by bacteria. The kennel cough or Bordetella bronchiseptica is the most common bacterial infection in canines. The condition manifests through dry coughing, which may take up to 4 weeks to clear. The condition can be treated with antibiotics and is very rarely fatal. However, given that the condition lasts several weeks and the symptoms may be threatening, it may be best if a Bordetella vaccine is administered to prevent the infection altogether. Dogs are constantly exposed to the Bordetella bronchiseptica infection, especially in shelters or other areas with several dogs."

And do you know what to do if your dog has it? While not overly serious on its own, it can lead to other medical issues and be a real problem for puppies. Therefore, it’s best to educate yourself about dog kennel cough as well as common symptoms and treatments. What Is Kennel Cough? Canine infectious tracheobronchitis, more commonly known as kennel cough, is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Kennel cough in dogs features inflammation to the trachea and bronchi. Kennel cough occurs when Bordetella bronchiseptica and canine parainfluenza virus get together and attack the lining in a dog’s respiratory tract, causing inflammation in the upper airway. This irritates the dog’s airways and causes a constant, dry cough. How do dogs get kennel cough?"

"text": "Vaccines are now being divided into two classes. ' Core' vaccines for dogs are those that should be given to every dog. ' Noncore' vaccines are recommended only for certain dogs. Whether to vaccinate with noncore vaccines depends upon a number of things including the age, breed, and health status of the dog, the potential exposure of the dog to an animal that has the disease, the type of vaccine and how common the disease is in the geographical area where the dog lives or may visit. The AVMA Council on Biologic and Therapeutic Agents' Report on Cat and Dog Vaccines has recommended that the core vaccines for dogs include distemper, canine adenovirus-2 (hepatitis and respiratory disease), canine parvovirus-2 and rabies. Noncore vaccines include leptospirosis, coronavirus, canine parainfluenza and Bordetella bronchiseptica (both are causes of ' kennel cough '), and Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme Disease ). Consult with your veterinarian to select the proper vaccines for your dog or puppy.

The most common form of kennel cough is caused by the bacteria Bordetella bronchiseptica. Frequently kennel cough is caused by a combination of both bacteria and virus. The lining of the trachea and bronchi become inflamed and when air passes over them it results in an irritating cough. What are the symptoms of Kennel Cough? Kennel Cough presents as a dry, hacking, coarse cough, retching and gagging. It often sounds like your dog has got something caught in the back of his throat and he is trying to cough it up. Many owners mistakenly think that their dog has a bone caught in his throat. He may also cough up white frothy material."

Unfortunately, your veterinarian, kennel owner, trainer, day care provider or groomer says your dog should/must be vaccinated against kennel cough, but you’re trying not to over-vaccinate. What should you do? More and more, people with pets are finding another vet, kennel owner, day care provider or groomer — or keeping their pet at home! Vaccination is a serious medical procedure with significant risks. If that weren’t bad enough, the “kennel cough” vaccine is unlikely to prevent kennel cough!

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

Parainfluenza or coronavirus, or both, will be added if these illnesses are a concern where you live; a multivalent injection, which combines the vaccinations into one shot, typically is given to minimize trauma and discomfort. The remaining core vaccine, rabies, won't be given until at least 12 weeks of age.

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

Other Distemper Combination Vaccines Bordetella Bronchiseptica Rabies The canine distemper vaccine is typically given in some variation of a combination vaccine that also protects your pet from several other serious diseases, such as parvovirus infection. Many of the diseases that are prevented by this combination vaccine have no effective treatment other than supportive care; however, vaccination can prevent these diseases or minimize the signs of illness. Other vaccines, such as the rabies and Bordetella vaccines, may be given in addition to the canine distemper/parvo combination vaccine. What Is a Canine Distemper/Parvo Vaccination? While commonly called canine distemper vaccination, this vaccine typically protects your pet against more than just distemper. That’s because it is actually a combination of vaccines in one injection that will protect your pet from several serious diseases. Canine distemper is considered a core vaccine. This means that, because canine distemper is a serious, highly contagious disease with a high death rate, organized veterinary medicine has determined that all dogs should be protected from this disease. The exact combination of your dog’s distemper combination vaccine depends on your dog’s age and individual disease-risk profile, but in general, the most important diseases to protect against are canine distemper, canine adenovirus-2 infection (hepatitis and respiratory disease), canine parvovirus infection, and parainfluenza."

"text": "Full Answer Regardless of whether they are produced through meiosis or mitosis, daughter cells share some commonalities with the parent cells. However, they also have some genetically distinct characteristics. Daughter cells also exhibit differences due to the fact that they have new deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, which is a set of genetic instructions that influences an organism's growth and development at birth. Cell division is the process that creates daughter cells. It influences how cells replicate and reproduce themselves, along with the manner in which they generate offspring. The differences between daughter cells, and with the parent cells, lies in the manner in which the cells divide. Mitosis One type of cell division that forms daughter cells is mitosis. In this process, cells undergo only one division to create daughter cells. The result yields two daughter cells that are classified as diploids, which means that they have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells. Daughter cells produced through mitosis are genetically identical."

Update: how about in meiosis?2 following 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In mitosis, the daughter cells are identical copies. There are two of them (the cell effectively splits into two). Mitosis usually produces body cells. In humans this is how we grow, and repair, as the cells effectively multiply. In meiosis, there are 4 cells and each of these has half the number of chromosomes (where a normal cell would have 23 pairs, the daughter cells here have 23 half pairs. These are also random in order, but the parent cell must have had the chromosome) Meiosis produces gametes (sperm or egg cells in humans) so that's why they have half the number of chromosomes: when the sperm and the egg come together they have a full 23 pairs whereas before they only had 23 half pairs.

Meiosis BACK NEXTWe have mentioned two types of nuclear division: mitosis, where the nucleus divides into two identical nuclei, and meiosis, which results in the production of four nuclei with half the original number of chromosomes of the parent cell. We will go through all the detailed steps of mitosis and meiosis in the next section, but first let's focus on how the processes have some features in common, yet are still different. In order to understand these two processes, it is important to become familiar with the terms diploid and haploid. A diploid cell has two of each chromosome, one from each parent. This is in contrast to a haploid cell, which only has one copy of every chromosome. Diploid cells comprise the majority of your body, while examples of haploid cells are eggs and sperm. If a haploid cell has n chromosomes, a diploid cell has 2n (n represents a number, which is different for every species – in humans, for example, n = 23 and 2n = 46). Both diploid and haploid cells can undergo mitosis. This makes a lot of sense, because mitosis is essentially like making a photocopy: it creates a perfect reproduction of what you started with."

Meiosis produces reproductive cells called gametes (eggs or sperm) which can form a zygote with chromosomes from both parents. The gametes are haploid (n) meaning they only have one copy of each type of chromosome that the diploid (2n) parent cell contains.

New cells are formed by karyokinesis- the process in cell division which involves replication of the cell’s nucleus and cytokinesis-the process in cell division which involves division of the cytoplasm. Two types of nuclear division include mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis typically results in new somatic, or body, cells. Mitotic cell division is involved in the formation of an adult organism from a fertilized egg, asexual reproduction, regeneration, and maintenance or repair of body parts. Meiosis results in the formation of either gametes in animals or spores in plants. The cells formed have half the chromosome number of the parent cell. Mitosis is best observed in cells that are growing at a rapid pace, such as in the whitefish blastula or onion root cell tips. The root tips contain a special growth region called the apical meristem where the highest percentage of cells are undergoing mitosis. The whitefish blastula is formed immediately after the egg is fertilized, a period of rapid growth and numerous cell divisions where mitosis can be observed."

Before sexual reproduction can occur, the number of chromosomes in a diploid cell must decrease by half. Meiosis produces cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Haploid cells used in sexual reproduction, gametes, are formed during meiosis, which consists of one round of chromosome replication and two rounds of nuclear division.

There are two types of cell divisions: (a) Mitosis & (b) Meiosis Mitosis ( Equational Division)It is type of cell division in which chromosomes of parent cells are duplicated and equally distributed into two daughter cells. Term mitosis is derived from Greek word \"\"Mitos\"\" means thread or fibril. It was first observed by Strasburger in plant cells (1870) and Boveri and Flemming in animal cell (1879). It is divided into four stages or phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. Meiosis (Reduction Division)It is a process that allows one diploids (2n) cells to divide in a special way to generate haploid (n) cells in eukaryotes.

If you just had a miscarriage, is it safe to get pregnant again at once, or should you wait? All of these questions will be covered in this article. So, how soon can you expect ovulation after miscarriage? The answer is that in most cases, the first period will start between 4 and 6 weeks later. So it’s almost a question of going straight back into your monthly cycle. It is not like after giving birth. In that situation, while you are producing milk, the hormonal balance is different from normal and women’s fertility tends to be low. Many women do not see their regular cycle return for a long time after the birth."

A chemical pregnancy is said to have occurred when you test positive for pregnancy, but a few days later you get your period. When this happens, most people are left devastated and confused especially when they are looking forward to being pregnant. A chemical pregnancy is simply a false pregnancy test. However, when you have a chemical pregnancy, the truth is you had actually conceived but you experienced a very early miscarriage. What Exactly Does Chemical Pregnancy Mean? Simply put, a chemical pregnancy is a clinical termed used to refer to a very early miscarriage. It takes place too early, even before it is possible for an ultrasound to detect a heartbeat (before the 5 th week). A chemical pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg fails to attach to the uterine wall."

In general, the risk of miscarriage is much lower once the pregnancy has reached this point. But what does it mean if you go in for an ultrasound, and there is no fetal heartbeat? You may wonder whether this indicates a miscarriage. Learn what to expect next. Why Fetal Heartbeat May Not Detected by Early Ultrasound Before looking into the possible reasons for the absence of a heartbeat on ultrasound, it is important to look at three factors. It could simply be that it is too early in your pregnancy for a heartbeat to be heard. When this is the case, and if you have no other symptoms, rechecking an ultrasound in a week is the most common recommendation. Type of ultrasound: A transvaginal ultrasound (an ultrasound in which an ultrasound probe is inserted into your vagina to get better access to your uterus) is generally much more accurate in early pregnancy. Prior to eight weeks gestation, a transvaginal ultrasound provides by far the best results."

"text": "Sex after miscarriage is a very controversial topic. There is considerable disagreement about whether it’s safe, and about how long a woman should wait to resume having sexual intercourse. For many women it’s an emotional debate. Some women cannot get themselves “in the mood” for sex for weeks or even months after a miscarriage. Recovery after a miscarriage can take anywhere from two weeks to three months, and many experts believe there should be a time frame after miscarrying during which women avoid sexual intercourse, as well as the insertion of tampons, douches, etc. Many doctors recommend waiting at least two weeks after a miscarriage to resume sexual activity or place anything in the vagina. When It’s Safe to Have Sex Again In most cases, it’s safe to resume sex after a miscarriage once the miscarriage bleeding has stopped. Generally this takes two weeks, although all women are different. You should wait until after the bleeding stops in order to give your cervix time to close up. Sex during this time increases your chances of infection in the uterus."

How long should you wait to conceive after a miscarriage? Recent research at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland has discovered that a long wait is not necessary to successfully conceive after a miscarriage. General consensus once suggested that a woman should wait at least six months after a miscarriage before trying to get pregnant again. Yet a new study shows that this notion is flawed, as it is safe to try and conceive within the first six months following a miscarriage. There is even a higher chance of a successful pregnancy if a woman conceives within the first six months. Women can theoretically conceive as soon as their next ovulatory cycle. If a woman is over 30 years old, waiting six months before trying to conceive again can actually reduce the odds of pregnancy."

While miscarriage is fairly common, it's a process that can be painful for the mother, both physically and emotionally. The following are 10 things that are important to know if you are having symptoms of a miscarriage or have been recently diagnosed with a miscarriage.1 Pregnancy Bleeding Does Not Always Mean Miscarriage Stockbyte/Getty Images Miscarriages can be devastating regardless of the cause or when they occur during the pregnancy. Beyond abdominal cramping and passing tissues (the placenta and the gestational sac) through the vagina, one of the most common symptoms of miscarriage is vaginal bleeding. That said, bleeding in early pregnancy does not always mean miscarriage. The only way to know for sure if your bleeding is from a miscarriage is through an evaluation with your doctor. If your doctor determines you are indeed experiencing a miscarriage, it's important to roughly measure how much you're bleeding. If the blood is soaking through two maxi pads per hour for two consecutive hours, call your doctor right away. This may be a sign that you are hemorrhaging, and you may need a procedure called a dilation and curettage ( D&C ) to stop the bleeding. If you are not bleeding that heavily but are concerned that your bleeding seems to be persisting for too long—like if you have had heavy bleeding for more than two or three days—it is a good idea to see your doctor to rule out complications.2 Miscarriage Diagnosis May Take up to a Week Sometimes doctors can diagnose a miscarriage before the symptoms actually begin."

Because here, we have put together some information about h CG and when your h CG levels normalize after a miscarriage. What Is h CG?h CG is a hormone which your body produces when you are pregnant.

"text": "\"Baby, Pregnancy, and Parenting Information HCG Levels in Pregnancy Whether it is their first pregnancy, or they have been pregnant before, many women have heard the term “h CG” while they are either trying to conceive, or shortly after they conceive, but they don’t necessarily know what it means. In the medical world, h CG is short for Human chorionic gonadotropin which is a hormone that a woman makes when she is pregnant. It can be detected in a urine sample or a blood sample as early as 10 days before your period should start. However, it can take until several days after you miss your period for these levels to be high enough that they can be detected. The h CG hormone helps sustain a woman’s pregnancy until the second trimester when the placenta starts functioning fully and takes over. It also helps create the testes, secretes estrogen, and helps develop the placenta. For women who have faced infertility issues, or who have had problems with miscarriages, doctors will routinely draw blood to check the h CG levels 2-3 times a week in early pregnancy. This is because h CG is supposed to at least double in a 48 hour period until it reaches a certain level, when it starts to decline. If the levels are doubling, it is often a sign that the pregnancy is viable and progressing as normal. If there is only a small rise in the number, no rise in the number, or a drop, it can be the first sign to a doctor or midwife that this pregnancy may not last through the first trimester."

A chemical pregnancy is believed to affect as many as 75 percent of all pregnancies. The majority of women who have had one never actually realize they’ve conceived since the only real symptom is a late period. A chemical pregnancy is sometimes revealed when an early pregnancy test shows a faint positive result but later returns a negative result in a week or two. While a chemical pregnancy typically doesn't cause harm to a woman's body, it can still lead to feelings of deep sadness and grief. Overview Most chemical pregnancies are believed to occur because the fertilized egg had some sort of chromosomal abnormality that made it non-viable from the start. When the body recognizes this, it will naturally terminate the pregnancy soon after the egg implants. The loss will typically happen about a week after your regular period was due. While the implantation itself is never actually completed, the cells of the fertilized egg will still produce enough of the pregnancy hormone h CG (human chorionic gonadotropin) to elicit a positive pregnancy test result. In a chemical pregnancy, the gestational sac will not be large enough to be visible on an ultrasound."

Normal pregnancy: A normal pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants itself inside of the uterus. The fertilized egg continues to grow developing into a fetus. Ectopic pregnancy: An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants itself outside of the uterus. An ectopic pregnancy can occur in the o vary, abdomen, cervix or fallopian tube, but more than 95% of the time it occurs in the tube. That’s why an ectopic pregnancy is often considered the same thing as a “tubal pregnancy”. Tubal pregnancy: A tubal pregnancy occurs after the fertilized egg implants itself in the fallopian tube and begins to develop. The egg however, cannot survive outside of the uterus because it will not get the nutrients it needs, nor have enough room (in the tube) to grow. What are the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy?"

It is also referred to as anembryonic pregnancy, embryonic demise, embryo loss, or the term preferred by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, early foetal demise. It happens when a fertilised egg implants in the uterus, the pregnancy sac forms and grows, but the embryo doesn’t develop. Anembryonic pregnancy means a pregnancy without an embryo. What causes a blighted ovum? Miscarriages from a blighted ovum are often, like most early miscarriages, down to chromosome abnormalities, which can occur because of poor-quality egg or sperm. It may also be down to the cells that form the embryo dividing in an abnormal way. Your body stops the pregnancy because it recognises this abnormality. It’s not down to anything you may or may not have done and it almost certainly could not have been prevented."

"text": "\"What is a miscarriage The medical term for a miscarriage is \"\"spontaneous abortion\"\" (SAB). A miscarriage (or spontaneous abortion) is a pregnancy that ends without intervention, without surgery or medication, before the 20th week of pregnancy. A \"\" stillbirth \"\" is the death of a fetus after 20 weeks of the pregnancy. A spontaneous abortion (SAB), or miscarriage, is the most common type of pregnancy loss. Studies show that up to 50% of pregnancies end in miscarriage before the mother realizes she was pregnant and experts estimate that about half of all fertilized eggs die and are miscarried, usually even before the woman knows she is pregnant. Between 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage, and most miscarriages occur before the 7th and 12th weeks of pregnancy. Abortion versus miscarriage An \"\"abortion\"\" is commonly used to describe the intentional ending of a pregnancy, though medically speaking an abortion could be the unintentional ending of pregnancy (miscarriage or spontaneous abortion) or the intentional ending of pregnancy (induced abortion). A chemical pregnancy is a pregnancy with a positive pregnancy test but no visible pregnancy on ultrasound, and a chemical pregnancy may account for 50-75% of all miscarriages. A chemical pregnancy occurs when a pregnancy is lost shortly after implantation, resulting in bleeding that occurs around the time of or shortly after her expected period. Unless there was a positive pregnancy test the woman may not realize that she conceived when she experiences a chemical pregnancy."

However, even if the heartbeat is seen this will not rule out other causes of miscarriage such asbirth defects or chromosome abnormalities that may end the pregnancy. What Are the Chances of Miscarriage After Seeing Heartbeat? If miscarriage were to occur, 80% of them happen before the 12 th week of pregnancy. Out of those, 50% to 70% happen before women even know they are pregnant. The chances of miscarriage are actually quite low if you already see fetal heartbeat on ultrasound. There is approximately a 5%-10% chance of miscarriage after the baby’s heartbeat is visible. This does only apply if the fetal heart rate is a good number. Low heart rates may show a problem and that a miscarriage may be imminent."

Cervical changes Pregnancy can cause changes to the cervix, and this may sometimes cause bleeding – after sex, for example. Miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy During the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, vaginal bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. However, many women who bleed at this stage of pregnancy go on to have normal and successful pregnancies. Miscarriage If a pregnancy ends before the 24th week, it's called a miscarriage.

"text": "Miscarriage Suffering a miscarriage is one of the most devastating things that can happen to a woman, and to her partner. Many women conceive easily and are not emotionally or physically prepared for the shock of losing a baby. To make it worse, there are often complaints that the medical profession lack sympathy, and investigations into the cause are normally not even considered until you have suffered three miscarriages. It may seem a callous approach, but the reason for this response is simply that miscarriage is extremely common. In fact, one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, usually before the twelfth week of pregnancy. Many women miscarry without having been aware that they were pregnant. Nevertheless, if you do suffer a miscarriage, no amount of reassurance that it is ‘normal’ or ‘common’ can ease the pain. What is a miscarriage? A miscarriage, which is also known as ‘spontaneous abortion’, occurs when a baby (foetus) is lost spontaneously before the 24th week of pregnancy. After this time, the death of a baby is called a ‘stillbirth’."

Ultrasound scans Ultrasound scans in pregnancy may be routine or they may be offered because of pain or bleeding or because of problems in a previous pregnancy. There are two ways of doing an ultrasound scan. In early pregnancy, especially before 11 weeks, it is usual to have a trans-vaginal (internal) scan, where a probe is placed in the vagina. This gives the clearest and most accurate picture in early pregnancy. It may also be offered after 11 or 12 weeks if a trans-abdominal scan doesn’t give a clear enough picture. From 11 or 12 weeks, including at the routine booking-in scan, it is more common to have a trans-abdominal scan . The person doing the scan spreads a special gel on your lower abdomen (below your belly button and above the line of pubic hair). He or she then moves the scanner over the gel, sometimes pressing down, until the uterus (womb) and pregnancy can be seen. What if I don’t want an internal scan?"

By Krissi Danielsson Updated November 20, 2017Share Pin Email Print JGI/Jamie Grill/Getty Images After a miscarriage, it can take awhile to fully recover physically, and sometimes even longer when it comes to the emotions that result from a miscarriage. Depending on how far along the pregnancy was when a miscarriage happened, it can take a few weeks to a month, or even longer, to make a full recovery. Physical Symptoms of Miscarriage Many women are prepared for some of the physical symptoms of miscarriage, including: Vaginal bleeding Absent menstrual periods Lower abdominal pain and cramping Back pain Passing tissue or clots However, what many women do not expect are the physical symptoms of pregnancy that can linger after a miscarriage. This can be confusing and upsetting. Lingering pregnancy symptoms after a miscarriage can feel like adding insult to injury for obvious reasons. It's easier to put up with nausea and tiredness if there's going to be a happy ending to it all. Causes of Pregnancy Symptoms After Miscarriage Doctors believe that pregnancy hormones play a role in causing morning sickness, breast soreness, tiredness, and other standard symptoms of early pregnancy. After a miscarriage, your hormones will not return to pre-pregnant levels right away, so there can be a period of time that you will still feel pregnant, even if you have just had a D&C. Because some pregnancy hormones remain in the blood for one to two months after a miscarriage, even after a conclusive miscarriage diagnosis, it's possible that you will continue to have nausea and other pregnancy symptoms for some time, especially if your miscarriage happened later in the first trimester."

Most women who have an early miscarriage (in the first trimester) don’t need treatment afterwards. Instead, the uterus empties on its own, like if you were having a heavy period. Some women have severe heavy bleeding after a miscarriage. Or they may have tissue left in the uterus after the miscarriage. In these cases, treatment is needed. What treatment is recommended after a miscarriage? Your health care provider may recommend: Dilation and curettage. This is also called D&C. This is a procedure to remove any remaining tissue from the uterus. Your provider dilates (widens) your cervix and removes the tissue with suction or with an instrument called a curette."

Making the event sound more like something that happens in a test tube than inside your body; more science and less human nature. But the fact is, chemical pregnancies happen a lot and are as heartbreaking and emotional as any other miscarriage. What makes them different? Most women would have had no idea they were even pregnant without an \"\"early result\"\" pregnancy test. Understanding a chemical pregnancy A chemical pregnancy is a pregnancy that terminates soon after the egg and sperm join. If you remember your anatomy and physiology, you know that an egg and sperm join together in the fallopian tubes and over the course of a few days the fertilized egg floats down to the uterus where it will tap into the blood-rich lining for growth. Eggs that implant will usually grow into a baby and you will miss your period as your body hangs on to the necessary nutrients to support the pregnancy. If the egg is unable to implant, or implants but is empty, your body will eventually recognize that things are not going as planned and will trigger a period to remove the empty sac and tissue from your body. While there are many points during the first few weeks of a pregnancy that something can go wrong and a miscarriage can happen, a chemical pregnancy is the earliest type of miscarriage."

Article Overview Cause Testing5 Steps to Take Herbs & Supplements Questions & Support Summary As someone who has experienced two early miscarriages, I can say having a miscarriage is really, really hard. Not only did I have to deal with the feeling of loss, confusion, and sadness – I also had to work through the resentment towards my pregnant friends that would “fall” pregnant every time they sneezed. It has gotten better over the years, but some days it can still be hard. That is why I want to share with you the steps you can take (and have been shown through scientific studies) to decrease your chances of having another loss and preventing miscarriage by creating a healthy, baby friendly body. Before we dive into the therapies, let’s take a look at the causes of recurrent miscarriages so you can understand more about what could be going on… In this article we will be discussing the most common causes of recurrent miscarriages, the types of testing that can be performed, and the 5 steps to decreasing the chance of recurrent miscarriage including cleansing, diet, self fertility massage, nutritional requirements, and herbal and nutrient supplementation. Causes of Recurrent Miscarriages There are many possible causes of miscarriage, the most common is a random genetic problem with the developing fetus, which the body rejects since it would not be a viable, healthy person. There is nothing that can be done for this type of miscarriage as it is nature’s way of creating healthy human beings. Many women experience this type of miscarriage and go on to have a healthy, uneventful pregnancy. Recurrent miscarriages on the other hand are when someone has had two, three or more miscarriages in a row. Below are the most common causes of recurrent miscarriages and following are the most common tests that can be performed to find out the cause of the multiple miscarriages."

A few days and another ultrasound later, the bad news was confirmed: The fetus had died between five and eight weeks. What amazed me was what happened later. Because I'd had no reason to suspect anything was wrong—no bleeding, no problems with my first pregnancy—I'd already spread the good news around; now I had to tell everyone what had happened, and I was astounded by their responses. “Oh, yeah, a miscarriage.

"text": "How Long After Ovulation Is the Egg Viable? Posted by Staff Writer in Ovulation ANSWER: An egg is viable for 12-24 hours after ovulation. More Info: Conception must occur within the 12-24 hour time period or the egg will die, and a menstrual cycle will begin approximately two weeks after. Because every woman is different, it is often hard to predict exactly when ovulation might occur. It is good to note, that a male sperm can live within the womb for up to five days and under the right conditions maybe more. So, if you were to have intercourse within a few days prior to ovulation, pregnancy can still occur even though you did not have intercourse on the exact day of ovulation. If you are trying to conceive, there are great ovulation predictors that you can purchase in any drug store. It is a very simple test, similar to a pregnancy test, that can be done in the privacy of your home. Ovulation predictor tests are fairly accurate, and can aid you and your partner if you are trying to conceive. If having a baby is your goal, you might want to consider taking prenatal vitamins as soon as you decide you want to conceive."

This process involves transferring “washed” sperm directly into the uterus via a catheter In vitro fertilization (IVF), a complex process provided at infertility clinics. This article will describe, in general, these three methods of fertilization. Fertilization the Natural Way With sexual intercourse, intrauterine insemination, and IVF, in order for the egg to be fertilized, the head of the sperm must attach to the egg. As the sperm and egg merge, the contents of the sperm enter the egg, which causes the egg to immediately release a fluid called cytosol. Cytosol prevents other sperm from attaching themselves. Thus, after one sperm fertilizes the egg, no other sperm can penetrate the egg. A normal human being has 23 pairs of chromosomes in every cell, or a total of 46 chromosomes. The sperm delivers 23 unpaired chromosomes, and the egg also contains 23 unpaired chromosomes. The nucleus of the sperm, which is now inside the egg, increases in size to form the male pronucleus, while the egg enlarges to form the female pronucleus."

First, a single sexual encounter (NOT during her menstrual period) has only roughly a 5% chance of causing a pregnancy. Even couples who have sex regularly for a month have only about a 20-24% chance of getting pregnant, even if everything else is favorable. So if you just had sex once, the odds are against a pregnancy happening. That doesn't mean it won't happen, but it's far from a sure thing. Second, sperm can live and be potent for up to five days inside the woman's reproductive tract, so it can be that long after sex before conception occurs. After that, it takes 6-12 days before the egg reaches the uterine wall and implants itself and starts to grow. Although most people think life begins at conception, a very good case can be made that a woman isn't pregnant until the egg implants itself in her womb and starts to grow."

"text": "Can Y Sperm Wait For The Egg Or Do They Just Die Immediately When You’re Trying To Conceive A Boy? Posted by admin on March 20, 2018 · Leave a Comment By: Sandy Dean: I sometimes hear from couples who are trying to time their conception attempts correctly when they’re trying to chose their baby’s gender or sex. Many know or have read that the boy producing or Y sperm is shorter lived than the girl producing or X sperm. But many want clarification as to just how long the Y sperm live and whether or not they can wait for the egg if you have sex before ovulation. I recently heard from a woman who said, in part: “let’s say that I think that I’m going to ovulate tomorrow. If I have sex today, would the Y sperm be able to wait for my egg? Or would they die off immediately? And what does this mean if I’m trying for a boy baby?”The answer depends upon a couple of factors, but y or boy producing sperm are said to viable for as many as 3 days assuming that the sperm is in the optimum alkaline environment. So, if you made it so that your vaginal tract was alkaline rather than acidic you would be prolonging the lifespan of those Y sperm to ensure that they did not die off immediately and could wait for the egg for a few days. But, if you had an acidic vaginal environment, then those same Y or boy producing sperm would likely die off much more quickly – as soon as hours later (and some Y sperm will never even make it past your vaginal tract into your fallopian tubes. )"

But that doesn't mean you could get pregnant from making love shortly after ovulation. You usually can't. Studies have shown that you cannot usually get pregnant from making love after ovulation. Sperm usually reach the fallopian tube and the egg within minutes after intercourse."

IUI ( Intra uterine insemination )is a type of Infertility treatment where Ovulation Induction can be attempted with Sperm injected into the uterus. What is IUI? Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure in which sperm are “washed” and placed into the uterus through a catheter. The male partner produces a semen sample by masturbation. The sperm are then separated from the seminal plasma, white blood cells, prostaglandins, and other “debris” which are filtered out during natural intercourse. A speculum is inserted into the woman’s vagina and a catheter with an attached syringe, containing the washed sperm, is inserted through the cervix into the uterus. The specimen (\"\"prepared semen\"\") is injected and the catheter and the speculum are removed. What are the prerequisites for IUI ?"

"text": "Home › Infertility Treatments › Infertility Treatment › Egg Cryopresevation Egg Cryopreservation Despite the demand for it, egg cryopreservation is not performed nearly as often as sperm and embryo freezing. Why? Because freezing and thawing female eggs is a much more delicate procedure; one that is only beginning to be done successfully. What is Cryopreservation? Often done for sperm and extra embryos produced during IVF, cryopreservation is the process of freezing materials so that they can be used at a later time. Cryopreservation is a fairly simply process usually involving liquid nitrogen to freeze the sperm, embryos or eggs. These materials are then stored in special freezers until they are needed, which can be anywhere from months to years after they are frozen. Why Not Eggs? Officially known as oocyte cryopreservation, freezing eggs is a much more difficult procedure than freezing either sperm or embryos. Women’s eggs are made up of tissue that is much more delicate and likely to be damaged during the thawing process."

"text": "Determining Your Fertility Window Home / Getting Pregnant / Determining Your Fertility Window If you are new to the trying to conceive (TTC) world, you are probably learning more than you ever thought you would need to know about how your reproductive system works. Things like how long sperm can survive inside the female reproductive tract or how long an egg is viable after it is released from the ovary may have once seemed trivial or inconsequential, but this information takes on a deeper significance now that you are actively trying to conceive. As you may already know, in order for conception to take place, at least one healthy and vigorous sperm must be waiting in the fallopian tube at the moment ovulation occurs and must be able to fertilize the egg within 12-24 hours of the egg being released from the ovary. Since sperm can only live for a maximum of 5 days in the female reproductive tract, only a small number of sperm will even survive the long journey through the female reproductive tract. Therefore, couples trying to conceive should plan to have intercourse a number of times in the days just prior to ovulation. To do this means you must be able to predict when you will ovulate, a task that is sometimes more difficult than you might think. Fortunately, for those of us who need help, there are several reliable ways to predict when your most fertile days will occur during each cycle. Before we embark on a discussion of how to pinpoint your fertile window, it might be helpful to briefly review the stages of your menstrual cycle, as hormonal changes that occur during the different phases set the stage for ovulation and provide clues as to when ovulation is coming. In the first several days of the menstrual cycle (called the follicular phase), certain hormones, specifically follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), begin the maturation process of follicles (the sacs that hold the egg) in the ovaries. In the second week of your cycle, FSH levels begin to decline and a single dominant follicle continues to develop."

For many women, the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge is that marker. Learning how to detect it can make baby-making much easier! Here’s how. What is luteinizing hormone? LH is one of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland. Ordinarily, it’s secreted at very low levels throughout your menstrual cycle. But once a developing egg follicle reaches a certain size — usually around the midpoint of your cycle — LH secretion surges to really high levels. This hormone surge is what triggers ovulation about 24 to 36 hours later."

That is why you can take the morning after pill up to three days after having sex. Before fertilization can occur, the sperm must reach the egg. Each egg is only viable for 12 to 48 hours and some sperm can survive for as long as 72 hours, but most can only retain their fertilizing power for 12 to 48 hours. Therefore in order to produce offspring, sex must occur no more than 72 hours before ovulation or no later than 24 hour after. 2 hours to 7 days depending on ovulation.72 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Ovulation occurs when a mature ovum (egg) is released from the ovary. Once released, the ovum only survives for about 24- 36 hours (a 2 - 3 day window), so in order to get pregnant, sperm must be present in the female body at the same time that ovulation occurs. It can take as little as 30 minutes and as long as several days for sperm to reach the ovum. Nature has accommodated for the narrow window the ovum is available with the fact that sperm can live within the female reproductive system for about 5 days. To be clear, that means that if you have unprotected sex within 5 days prior to ovulation and then including the 2 - 3 day window around ovulation, the sperm can survive long enough to fertilize the egg. In general, ovulation occurs halfway through your menstrual cycle. For women with a 28 day cycle, this would be on day 14. This is not an exact thing, though. Getting your period is actually a better estimate of when you ovulated last, rather than when you'll ovulate next; that's really how the period apps work."

"text": "When to do it You’re most likely to get pregnant if you have unprotected sex in the five days before you ovulate, or on the day itself. And the number one mistake women make when they’re trying to get pregnant? Not getting the timing right. Counting day one of your period as day one of your cycle, most women ovulate about 14 days before their next period. So if your cycle varies between 24 and 30 days, you’ll ovulate somewhere between days 10 and 16. Once the egg is released from the ovary, it’s only receptive to sperm and able to be fertilized for about 12 to 24 hours, but sperm can remain viable for days after intercourse...which is why you can have sex days before ovulation and still get pregnant. If your cycle is very regular you have a good idea when you ovulate. If not, it might make sense to buy an over-the-counter fertility monitor to help you get the timing right. How often to do it Logic tells us that if a little is good, a lot is better. But that’s not the case with intercourse when you’re trying to get pregnant."

"text": "In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment is rather complex and involves multiple steps, a variety of medications and procedures. All these factors play a significant role in the final outcome of the treatment, which is a healthy live birth. The considerable emotional, physical and financial burden associated with infertility treatment in general and with IVF in specific, demand that factors known to affect outcome be identified and regulated prior to initiating treatment. Some of these factors that impact the outcome of IVF are the following: Egg/embryo quality Stimulation protocol and timing of ovulation Receptivity of the endometrium (implantation)Embryo transfer Sperm factors1. Egg/Embryo Quality: Reproductive age significantly impacts egg and embryo quality, and negatively correlates with IVF outcome. Live birth rates are 50% in women less than age 35 and approximately 25% in women between the ages 40 to 42 per fresh IVF cycle. The decrease in the success rates with IVF or any infertility treatment is due to the decreasing number of eggs within the ovaries. There is an accelerated loss of the follicles/eggs after the age of 32-35 and the fertility potential is significantly decreased thereafter. Several tests can identify patients who may have a suboptimal response to stimulation with IVF. Such tests include day 3 FSH and estradiol levels, Clomid challenge test, inhibin B, Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels and antral follicle count in the beginning of the cycle."

Shingles Diagnosis If shingles are not diagnosed and treated within three days of the appearance of symptoms, it can progress to the intractable stage of PHN. The nervous system is involved in shingles, with more extensive and complex symptoms than chickenpox. Active shingles symptoms typically do not last longer than three to five weeks. Other rashes can be similar to shingles, so see your doctor if you have a rash with pain or flu-like symptoms. Usually a diagnosis of shingles is acquired on the grounds of a tell-tale rash and associated symptoms. Additionally, signs and symptoms of shingles might differ on an individual basis for each patient. Just your doctor can produce adequate diagnosis of any signs or symptoms and whether they are indeed shingles symptoms. Once a rash and blisters do appear, however, your doctor will probably diagnose shingles based on your symptoms and the appearance of your skin.

Most attacks of shingles occur for no obvious reason, but an attack is more likely if:you are elderly.you are under stress.you have an illness that weakens the immune system, such as leukaemia, a lymphoma (for example, Hodgkin’s disease), or HIV.you are taking treatments that suppress the immune system, including irradiation for cancer, chemotherapy, cortisone-like drugs, and drugs taken to prevent organ rejection.

Unlike chickenpox, which is known to be very itchy and uncomfortable, shingles symptoms are usually more painful since shingles affects nerves in the skin and can cause various flu-like symptoms that last for weeks. Shingles is actually very common, especially among older adults, and you’re likely more susceptible than you might think. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost one out of three people in the U. S. will develop shingles at some point. ( 1)It’s estimated that more than 90 percent of adults in the U. S. carry VZV and are therefore at risk for the development of shingles. ( 2) As you get older, your risk goes up, since studies show that most people (over half) who develop shingles are over the age of 60. This is why adults 60 or older are often advised to get vaccinated against the shingles virus — although as you’ll learn, this isn’t always necessary and shingles natural treatment approaches (like using antiviral herbs) can also be effective for prevention. Although shingles (also sometimes called herpes zoster) is caused by carrying a virus, certain risk factors make people more susceptible to its effects. Having the virus alone doesn’t guarantee that shingles will develop, and even if it does, certain preventative measures can help keep it from returning once it’s cleared up.

"text": "Shingles is a viral infection that follows a varicella-zoster infection, although it can take decades for symptoms of the secondary disease to emerge. The condition presents as a painful and blistering rash, but it is not life-threatening. According to the Center for Disease Control, there are nearly one million cases in the United States each year, and almost half of those cases are in older adults over age 60. Some people only see one instance of the illness, while others have recurring symptoms, but 30 percent of Americans will develop shingles at some point in their lifetime. Duration of Shingles: Timeline of the Virus The timeline of shingles is consistent once symptoms begin, but many people may have the condition for years without realizing it. Internal shingles can take decades to present itself, while many people never show symptoms at all. If you’re asking yourself, “how long does shingles last,” it can be different for each person, but below is a general progression. Itching, Pain, or Tingling Before any irritation appears, the site may first itch or tingle, or even feel painful. These sensations start to happen between one and five days before redness or itching begins. Many people may not recognize these symptoms, particularly if they have a mild case of shingles."

Perhaps you are reading this page because you have it yourself, or you may know a friend or relative who has it or has experienced this rather uncomfortable condition. This page will expend on shingles, explain what it is, the causes, signs and symptoms as well as explore conventional and natural treatments which will give relief. There are many options you have in terms of natural treatment, and I’d suggest you look carefully at the dietary changes as well as boosting your immune system with natural medicines. Herpes Virus Shingles is essentially a herpes viral infection, and there are several kinds of herpes infections. For example, there is also Herpes Simplex Type 1 (cold sores) or Herpes Simplex Type 2 (genital herpes). Shingles can be most distressing, and in most all cases the very first symptom you will experience is usually a tingling, sharp, burning pain under the skin, typically followed after 2-3 days by a red rash and blisters. Out of all the conditions to affect the skin, this would have to rank as the most painful of them all because it involves the underlying nerves and can cause you plenty of misery. I have seen a few elderly patients over the years who have really suffered with shingles, so let’s hope this page can help you identify this form of herpes and bring a speedy relief to your suffering."

You will feel groggy, so it is advisable to have someone to watch over you for 12 to 24 hours after the surgery. An assistant to bring the medicines and look after your general welfare is a good idea. It is also advised that your medications, drinks and other important items are in close proximity during this period for easy reach, preferably at the side of the bed. Drinking adequate amounts of water is also highly recommended, as you may be dehydrated by the liposuction. Alcoholic beverages are an absolute no-no before the liposuction surgery, or afterwards during liposuction recovery. RELAXYou should have some quiet time immediately following the procedure. You must also take into consideration not to make any personal important decisions in the time immediately following the procedure since you will be groggy. You should definitely avoid driving or operating any hazardous equipment. NAUSEAYou may also feel nausea approximately 24-48 hours after the procedure."

Joint cartilage is the smooth, slippery, rubber-like covering at the ends of a bone. Arthritis simply refers to the thinning and eventual loss of joint cartilage. Typical symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness, “catching,” and limp. Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative arthritis, is the most common type of arthritis. The factors that influence who gets this disease include age, genetics, physical labor and body weight. For some patients, the cause is unknown. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an auto-immune disease that causes severe inflammation of the lining ( synovium) of the joint and this causes destruction of the joint cartilage. Post-traumatic arthritis can develop after fractures, dislocations and ligament injuries."

"text": "\"Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Overview on TURPTURP is the classic treatment for urinary symptoms due to the prostate (prostatism) or BPH. Prostatic tissue is removed and so the physical bulk of the prostate is reduced. Obstruction is reduced and urinary symptoms considerably improved. The operation is performed through the penis and usually there are no cuts or surgical incisions. The procedure is tolerated reasonably well, although associated with retrograde ejaculation. It is the gold standard treatment for BPH with many years of history to support its use. Why have a TURP? There are several potential reasons for having a TURP:urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate (BPH) that are bothersome and are not adequately improved by medicines or changing one's lifestyleurinary symptoms due to BPH that are bothersome and cannot be treated by drugs or other minimally invasive techniquesurinary symptoms due to BPH proven to be due to bladder outlet obstruction on urodynamics with a desire to remove obstruction in order to avoid long term problems of bladder outlet obstruction The inability to pass urine without a catheter ('urinary retention')kidneys that are not functioning properly because the prostate is blocking the bladderrecurrent urine infections due to obstruction caused by the prostatebleeding from the prostate due its enlargement (BPH), which may not have improved with a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor like finasteride or dutasterideprostate cancer ('channel TURP'): this is to allow urine to flow and is not intended to be curative What are the advantages of a TURP?

Patients who undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgery usually have a shorter hospital stay. When you return to your hospital room after surgery, you will be closely monitored by your nurses. Along with periodic monitoring of your vital signs — blood pressure, pulse, temperature and respiration — your nurses will encourage and help you to perform deep breathing, coughing, leg movement exercises and to get out of bed. These activities can help prevent complications. Report any symptoms of nausea, anxiety, muscle spasms, increased pain or shortness of breath to your nurse. To varying degrees, it is normal to experience fatigue, nausea and vomiting, sleeplessness, surgical pain, weakness, light-headedness, loss of appetite, gas pain, flatulence, loose stools and emotional ups and downs in the early days and weeks after surgery. Please discuss any concerns you have with your doctors and nurses. Pain Control You may feel pain at your incision site or from the position your body was in during surgery.

You will need to be patient and follow your doctor’s advice. If he tells you to avoid driving or going back to work for 5 or 6 weeks, plan for this well in advance of your operation. The last thing you need when you come out of hospital is additional stress. Although you might feel better than expected by week 2, avoid the temptation to push yourself too soon. While you might feel better on the outside, your insides need longer to recover, and any sudden movement or pressure could cause internal bleeding or tears, setting you back.

The outer and inner layers consist of epithelium cells. Perforations occur as a result of defects in the middle layer, which contains elastic collagen fibers. Small perforations usually heal spontaneously. However, if the defect is relatively large, or if there is a poor blood supply or an infection during the healing process, spontaneous repair may be hindered. Eardrums may also be perforated as a result of trauma, such as an object in the ear, a slap on the ear, or an explosion. The purpose of tympanoplasty is to repair the perforated eardrum, and sometimes the middle ear bones ( ossicles) that consist of the incus, malleus, and stapes. Tympanic membrane grafting may be required."

Naturally, we are all aware of how ticks, especially the deer ticks can also cause Lyme’s disease, and hence there is all the more reason to fear these parasites as well. Lyme’s disease causes a bullseye rash (Erythema migrans) that looks similar to a red target mark. In this guide, we will study tick bite Lyme disease bullseye rash and its other symptoms in detail. History of Lyme disease The history of the disease can be traced back to 1975 in United States, where the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis started being seen in large number of cases in Lyme, Connecticut area. This gave it the name for which it is well known today. Owing to the uncurbed deer population, the number of deer ticks in the region started to increase. More and more cases of tick bites became prevalent in these parts. The lone star or deer tick causing the disease came closer to human residences where people were apparently bitten while mowing their lawns, hiking in wooded, grassy regions or through their family pets."

Symptoms can include skin rash, joint inflammation, fever , headache , fatigue, and muscle pain . Lyme disease is also called Lyme borreliosis. Description Lyme disease is an inflammatory, systemic disease, meaning that it affects multiple body systems. Although clinical signs of Lyme disease have been reported for more than 100 years, the disease was not recognized as a distinct illness until 1975, when a cluster of unusual arthritis cases in Lyme, Connecticut, led physicians to discover that town residents living near heavily wooded areas were most affected by arthritis and other symptoms. Tick bites were then linked to the cause of the arthritis cases. Borrelia burgdorferi , the spiral-shaped bacterium called a spirochete, that causes Lyme disease, was not discovered until 1981 by Willy Burgdorfer. Although Lyme disease is easily treated, it is not easily diagnosed, since symptoms are often attributed to other conditions. If not treated early and properly with antibiotics , Lyme disease can have long-term and disabling effects. In its early stages, Lyme disease affects the skin and produces flu-like symptoms; the disease spreads to the joints and nervous system in its later stages."

TICK BITE OVERVIEWThere are many different types of ticks in the United States, some of which are capable of transmitting infections. The risk of developing these infections depends upon the geographic location, season of the year, type of tick, and, for Lyme disease, how long the tick was attached to the skin. While many people are concerned after being bitten by a tick, the risk of acquiring a tick-borne infection is quite low, even if the tick has been attached, fed, and is actually carrying an infectious agent."

Reactions Types Risk factors Diagnosis Treatment Complications Prevention Insect bites are puncture wounds or lacerations made by insects. An insect may bite when it is agitated and defends itself, or when it wants to feed. Insects typically inject formic acid. This can lead to blisters, inflammation, redness, swelling, pain, itching, and irritation. The reaction depends on the type of insect and the individual's sensitivity. Bites from fleas, mites, and mosquitoes tend to cause itching rather than pain. Fast facts about insect and spider bites Many different insects can bite, and the effects of their bites can range from mild irritation to a deadly infection, such as malaria.

In the United States, Lyme disease is most often caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted through the bite of a blacklegged (Ixodes) tick, also known as a deer tick. Besides Lyme disease, tick-borne diseases also include anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Colorado tick fever, ehrlichiosis, tularemia, Powassan disease and others. Risk Factors In the United States, Lyme disease occurs primarily in the Northeast and upper Midwest. About 95% of Lyme disease cases occur in 14 states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The incidence of Lyme disease has recently increased rapidly in the northern New England states of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Anyone exposed to deer ticks is at risk for Lyme disease. These ticks thrive in grassy areas that have low sunlight and high humidity. Immature (nymph) ticks are the main transmitters of Lyme disease. Their small size makes them harder to spot than adults."

Without prompt treatment, Rocky Mountain spotted fever can cause serious damage to internal organs, such as your kidneys and heart. Although it was first identified in the Rocky Mountains, Rocky Mountain spotted fever is most commonly found in the southeastern part of the United States. It also occurs in parts of Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America. Early signs and symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever include a severe headache and high fever. A few days later, a rash usually appears on the wrists and ankles. Rocky Mountain spotted fever responds well to prompt treatment with antibiotics. Symptoms Although many people become ill within the first week after infection, signs and symptoms may not appear for up to 14 days. Initial signs and symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever often are nonspecific and can mimic those of other illnesses: High fever Chills Severe headache Muscle aches Nausea and vomiting Confusion or other neurological changes Rash is distinctive Rash caused by Rocky Mountain spotted fever The red, nonitchy rash associated with Rocky Mountain spotted fever typically appears three to five days after the initial signs and symptoms begin.

To avoid complications during healing, the first 48 hours is the most critical, so follow your dentist's post-op instructions.30.2k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by James Sai Related Questions More Answers Below How long does a wisdom tooth extraction take?

"text": "Feature Update On Timing Of Implant Placement After Tooth Extraction December 10, 2015 by Daniel Ochoa, DDS; Takanori Suzuki, DDS, Ph DPrint Edition December 2015Topics Dentistry Implantology More Features Abstract Understanding the hard and soft tissue changes of post-extraction sockets and the condition of the anatomy of the future implant site is essential for clinicians in deciding when and where future implants should be placed. This report provides a simplified decision making protocol that will help guide clinicians on the timing of implant placement. Timing for Implant Placement after Single Tooth Extraction Dental implants have been reported to have long-term success in the rehabilitation of completely, or partially edentulous patients. The focus for implant therapy has since shifted from osseointegration to esthetic restoration that is stable over time.1,2 Various factors need to be evaluated during preoperative planning,3 and the timing of implant placement post-extraction is considered an important factor which influences the esthetic outcome.4Advertisement Error setting up player: Invalid license key Traditionally, compromised teeth were removed and the resultant extraction sockets were left to heal for four to six months before dental implants were placed.5 However, marked alterations occur in the edentulous site following extraction, not only in the buccal–lingual/palatal dimension (about 50 percent), but the height of the buccal bone crest also decreases.6,7 Improved implant hardware coupled with patient demand has shifted research focus towards shortened post-extraction healing time or immediate implant placement following extraction.8 It has been suggested that the placement of an implant in the fresh extraction socket may counteract alveolar ridge contraction following tooth removal,9,10 However, this hypothesis was not validated in recent humans and animals studies ( Fig 1 ).11-13FIGURE 1. Wide immediate implants that would occupy most of the alveolar socket space, leaving it without gaps, were placed in an attempt to counteract alveolar ridge contraction. Unfortunately implants do not stop the bone remodeling process. Four different implant placement protocols have been defined based on the bone remodeling process: Immediate or type 1, when the implants are placed in the same surgical intervention as the dental extraction Type 2 or early implant placement with soft tissue healing, wwhen implants are placed in the early stages of healing (from four to eight weeks) Type 3 or early implant placement with partial bone healing (12 weeks to 16 weeks) Type 4 late implant placement, when the extraction socket is fully healed (after 16 weeks) ( Fig 2 ).14FIGURE 2. Implant placement protocols: Type 1: Immediate implant. Type 2, 3: Early implant (note compromised socket with fenestration, reabsorbable membrane and bone graft placement), Type 4: Late implant placement in fully healed ridge. The objective of this article is to describe the implant placement protocols, their indications, advantages and risk factors."

Before your wisdom tooth is extracted, the tooth and the surrounding tissue will be numbed with a local anesthetic – the same injection with the same medication you would receive to numb a tooth prior to having a cavity filled. In addition to the local anesthetic to numb the pain, you and your dentist or oral surgeon may decide that a sedative is desired to control your anxiety. Sedating medications that could be selected include: nitrous oxide (otherwise known as \"\"laughing gas\"\"), an oral sedative (for example, Valium), or an intravenous sedative (administered via an injection into your veins). If nitrous oxide is given, you will be able to drive yourself home. If any of the other medications is selected, you will need someone to drive you both to and from the appointment in which your tooth will be extracted. What Does Recovery Involve?"

"text": "\"Medical Specialties Wisdom Teeth Health Effects of Smoking Teeth Smoking Dentistry Human Body Medicine and Healthcare How long should I wait to smoke after a wisdom tooth extraction?74 Answers Nuzhat Ali, Muslim Wife | Dentist | Relationships and Psychology Geek Answered Apr 8, 2015Without going into the details of why you shouldn’t be smoking at all, the absolute minimum time period that you should allow to pass before you can smoke again after an extraction is, like your dentist explained, 24 hours. After a tooth extraction is performed, a blood clot begins to form at the extraction socket which is responsible for the healing process of the wound. For approximately 24 hours, this blood clot is reasonably ‘fragile’ and can easily be dislodged by any kind of negative pressure created in the mouth, which usually occurs by performing actions like drinking from a straw, smoking and rinsing or spitting too aggressively. The dislodged clot leads to delayed healing of the wound, which could get secondarily infected and lead to potential development of Dry Socket, which is an extremely painful condition in itself. Additionally, the probability of developing a Dry Socket is increased by 20-30% in cases of impacted tooth extraction. What Is Dry Socket? Symptoms and Treatment If your extraction site was sutured up, it reduces the healing time considerably. However, under no circumstances does it involve getting negligent about the post-extraction instructions your dentist would have provided you with. The complete healing time for an extraction site averages around 2 weeks. If the idea of not smoking for that long is unachievable, the best way around it is to smoke lightly by taking low, mild puffs without inhalation of the smoke. ("

"text": "\"Overview Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove one or more wisdom teeth — the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom. If a wisdom tooth doesn't have room to grow (impacted wisdom tooth), resulting in pain, infection or other dental problems, you'll likely need to have it pulled. Wisdom tooth extraction may be done by a dentist or an oral surgeon. To prevent potential future problems, some dentists and oral surgeons recommend wisdom tooth extraction even if impacted teeth aren't currently causing problems. Why it's done Impacted wisdom teeth Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last permanent teeth to appear (erupt) in the mouth. These teeth usually appear between the ages of 17 and 25. Some people never develop wisdom teeth. For others, wisdom teeth erupt normally — just as their other molars did — and cause no problems. Many people develop impacted wisdom teeth — teeth that don't have enough room to erupt into the mouth or develop normally. Impacted wisdom teeth may erupt only partially or not at all."

"text": "Disease Reference More Overview Symptoms Causes Risk factors Complications Prevention Diagnosis Treatment Lifestyle and home remedies Preparing for an appointment Dry socket Overview Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is a painful dental condition that sometimes happens after you have a permanent adult tooth extracted. Dry socket is when the blood clot at the site of the tooth extraction fails to develop, or it dislodges or dissolves before the wound has healed. Normally, a blood clot forms at the site of a tooth extraction. This blood clot serves as a protective layer over the underlying bone and nerve endings in the empty tooth socket. The clot also provides the foundation for the growth of new bone and for the development of soft tissue over the clot. Exposure of the underlying bone and nerves results in intense pain, not only in the socket but also along the nerves radiating to the side of your face. The socket becomes inflamed and may fill with food debris, adding to the pain. If you develop dry socket, the pain usually begins one to three days after your tooth is removed. Dry socket is the most common complication following tooth extractions, such as the removal of third molars (wisdom teeth). Over-the-counter medications alone won't be enough to treat dry socket pain."

"text": "Tooth Extraction Pain Tooth extraction pain used to be a dreadful experience until some years ago, before dental anesthetics become available. In modern dentistry the pain during the extraction procedure is almost diminished, but post-operative tooth extraction pain still remains a concern. Possible complications such as dry socket may also be a cause of severe pain. Tooth extraction pain during the procedure A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket inside the jaw bone. It is necessary for removing severely decayed teeth, abscessed teeth, fractured, broken or impacted teeth, to stop a tooth infection, or as a preparation for an orthodontic treatment or a complete denture. Despite the use of anesthetics, tooth extractions still remain as some of the relatively more painful dental procedures. The extraction of a tooth requires the application of force in order to break the periodontal ligaments that keep it in place, and extending the width of the socket in order to dislocate the tooth and remove it. In difficult cases the a procedure may take several hours to complete. The dentist will numb the extraction area with several shots of anesthetic so that you do not feel any pain during the procedure. But even if you actually do not feel the tooth extraction pain, you must be prepared to feel some degree of discomfort due to the forces applied to the mouth tissues by the extraction tools."

"text": "What is a root canal? A root canal is a treatment of the pulp of the tooth that is inflamed, infected, or dead. The dental pulp is a soft substance in the center of the tooth that consists of the nerve, blood vessels, and connective tissue. The pulp chamber is the hollow part in the center of the tooth that contains the pulp, and it continues down canals that extend through the roots of teeth and into the surrounding bone. Some roots have more than one root canal, but all have at least one canal. Root canal treatment (RCT) and endodontic treatment are the more correct terms for a procedure that treats the nerve of the tooth. Endodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals specifically with the tooth pulp and tissues surrounding the root of the tooth. A root canal problem may be treated by a general dentist or by an endodontist. An endodontist is a dentist who has gone to multiple years of specialty training after dental school to focus exclusively on root canal treatments. General dentists are qualified to perform root canals but may refer a patient to an endodontist if the tooth is particularly complicated or is being treated for the second time."

The local trauma tears tissues and such, and that's all part of the process. The damage caused elicits the collection of fluids between disrupted tissue spaces - where it usually isn't present to any degree. There's a fair amount of this, and that's the swelling. As the membranes reform and the body repairs itself, the extra fluid is reabsorbed and the swelling goes down. The pain will disappear as well. In the first 48 hours or so, no drinking straws, no rinsing no solid foods of any kind. The key is to avoid disloging the blood clot that forms in the space vacated by the tooth."

"text": "Tooth Extraction What Is It? Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. What It's Used For If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, your dentist will try to fix it with a filling, crown or other treatment. Sometimes, though, there's too much damage for the tooth to be repaired. In this case, the tooth needs to be extracted. A very loose tooth also will require extraction if it can't be saved, even with bone replacement surgery (bone graft). Here are other reasons: Some people have extra teeth that block other teeth from coming in. Sometimes baby teeth don't fall out in time to allow the permanent teeth to come in. People getting braces may need teeth extracted to create room for the teeth that are being moved into place. People receiving radiation to the head and neck may need to have teeth in the field of radiation extracted."

"text": "What Exactly is a Dental Implant? The implant procedure has never been easier. A dental implant is a small, metallic screw which is drilled into the jaw bone to serve as a replacement for a natural tooth root. The screws are typically made of titanium or titanium alloys and are a durable, long-term treatment option when it comes to tooth replacement. Once the dental implant successfully fuses to the bone through a process called osseointegration, a prosthesis such as a crown or denture is attached to the site and can then be maintained and used as a normal tooth. The Many Benefits of Dental Implants Thinking about the procedure itself can be unnerving for most and downright frightening for some if you have no idea what to expect. But there is no need to fret! The fact of the matter is that dental implants are consistently being recommended more frequently and, as a result, becoming more affordable. That’s because people are beginning to see that they are an, “ effective, attractive, secure way to fill gaps in your smile—all while preserving your existing teeth .” Dental implants are great because they: Prevent the Loss of Bone –When a tooth is extracted or lost, the bone that surrounded the root and supported the tooth begins to disintegrate away."

"text": "YOU A SK: How long after underwriting receives title and insurance to close? WE A NSWER: Generally, it takes about a week or two weeks for the underwriter to finish the title search and other related activities before they will issue the policy and you can close the transaction. Now, if you are asking about a mortgage loan and how long after your documents reach the underwriting department of the mortgage company, it will also take around that time. What happens is that the mortgage underwriter will review the documentation to ensure that everything is in place. The mortgage company would like to protect itself by ensuring that the property has no problems or existing claims and encumbrances. The underwriter will check your documents - tax returns, bank statements, income verification and title insurance policy. When there is a lender involved, the closing date of the property will depend on when the underwriting process is completed. If you want a faster loan approval process, you can get a loan pre-approval. If you are not getting a mortgage but instead would be paying for the property in cash, the process will be shortened as you don't have to deal with the underwriting process. There may be issues that may delay the closing or prevent it from happening."

Irrespective of the title insurance regulations that a state legislature has put in place, consumers will likely turn to insurance regulators for answers to their questions about title insurance. The goal of this article is to acquaint the regulator with the basics of title insurance coverage and explain how title insurance differs from coverage provided by other policies. The article will also examine the state of the title insurance market and explore some of the key regulatory concerns spawned recently by a number of title insurance company insolvencies and title agent defalcations [1]• Title Insurance � How is it Different? What Does Title Insurance Do? Title insurance protects real estate purchasers and/or lenders from losses that arise after a real estate settlement as a result of unknown liens, encumbrances or other defects upon the title that existed prior to settlement. Examples of title defects include outstanding property taxes not paid by a previous owner, fraud or forgery of a prior deed or transfer, or a spouse or unknown heir who steps forward to make a claim against the title. If a claim were made, defending the claim could cost thousands of dollars in attorney fees and, if the claim were valid, could even cause the buyer to lose the property itself. A title insurance policy provides coverage for legal defense, as well as the coverage amount listed in the policy, which usually equals the purchase price of the real property.

These are just a few of the questions we will answer in today’s mortgage tutorial. Definition: Mortgage Underwriting in Plain English Mortgage underwriting is a process through which lenders (A) measure the risk associated with a certain loan, and (B) ensure that the loan complies with the lender’s minimum guidelines. It is the underwriter’s job to determine if the risk of lending to a particular borrower is acceptable. He does this by examining the borrower’s credit score, debt-to-income ratios, employment and income documents, and all other financial documents included in the loan package. During this process, the underwriter will ensure that the borrower meets the requirements set forth by the lender, as well as the requirements of the federal government and the secondary mortgage market, if applicable."

FHA loans are government loans. The length of time it'll take to close an FHA loan depends on what type of relationship your lender, or broker, has with FHA. If they are a correspondent FHA lender, then it'll take an average of 3 weeks. It could take up to as long as 3 months if not a correspondent. My suggestion is to contact your loan officer, and hound him."

What happens if your rate lock expires? Mortgage lenders these days are overwhelmed with demand and many even have 60+ day backlogs. Here are several tips for streamlining your closing to make sure your lock doesn’t expire and avoid losing that great mortgage rate for your next home loan.» Mortgage Lender Spotlight «Refinance at Loan Type: State:disclaimer See more live rates Each month we showcase exclusive offers from top lenders that can save you thousands of dollars on your next home loan. Mortgage Rates Dip Below 4 Percent If you can qualify for a home loan to buy or refinance your existing home loan and still haven’t, what are you waiting for? The government estimates there are 3 to 7 million homeowners that cannot qualify for mortgage refinancing alone because they’re underwater and don’t qualify for HARP 2.0. If you’re not one of them what’s your excuse? There are so many programs out there to help lower your payment that the biggest mistake you could make is to simply do nothing.

"text": "Mortgage Underwriting Fee An underwriting fee on a mortgage is charged by the lender who underwrites or approves your loan. Pretty simple right? But because it can be one of the largest fees on your Good Faith Estimate and HUD1 closing statement, it freaks people out. It’s often times called a junk fee which is insane. There are many people involved in the processing of your mortgage after application…most of which you never see. They are behind the scenes and it’s easy to wonder if they even exist at all. So, if they don’t exist, then the fee is surely bogus right? And not only do people wonder about the fee, the underwriter usually gets blamed when something goes wrong. I’m not saying underwriters are perfect and some do wake up on the wrong side of the bed sometimes and can be incompetent but I believe those are few and far between. It’s not easy being the most hated person in a real estate transaction."

I guess one of the sisters has remorse for selling to us because they think they should have gotten a lot more for the house (NOT true--it needs a new furnace, new roof, all new cosmetic updating, etc, to even begin to approach a higher price...in fact, I think we paid more for the house than it was really worth, but it's been a long, rough housebuying ride and we love this place). This one sister said some obnoxious things to her agent, who passed them on to our realtor who in turn told us. We are a week from closing EXACTLY--as in, we will either just be finishing or in the middle of it all exactly one week from right now. Can they back out? I just need to know whether to be afraid.

It’s a tempting moment to relax — but an experienced deal lawyer knows better. This is the time to start preparing for the possibility that the deal will be wildly oversubscribed or will struggle mightily. In either case, the question that will shortly come your way is “How much can the deal be upsized or downsized at pricing?”To answer that seemingly simple question, you will need to break it into three component parts: Was your registration statement accurate and complete as of the time it became effective? Have you provided investors with all the information they need to make an informed investment decision prior to confirming orders? Do you owe the SEC any additional filing fees? Getting to the bottom of these points is a surprisingly complex undertaking. The rules in this area are technical and not always intuitive, and you may be asked to make some difficult judgment calls under significant time pressure. The purpose of this Client Alert is to provide you with the tools you need to react quickly and wisely to questions about pricing outside the range when the moment of truth arrives."

Mortgage Rates Are Lower Than Expected The housing market has been strong this year, with home sales topping 5 million units on an annualized basis for the last six months. It's a streak unequaled in two years, and the market for next year may run even hotter. According to the National Association of Home Builders, sentiment among members is at its highest point in a decade based on an increase in buyer foot traffic and the general availability of low- and no-downpayment mortgages for today's active buyers. It also helps that today's mortgage rates are below four percent -- lower than where the experts predicted they be as 2015 enters its fourth quarter. This is a big deal to buyers of homes because more than two-thirds will use a mortgage to finance their purchase. Today's rates are the lowest they've been in 6 months. Verify your new rate (Apr 9th, 2018)What Is A Mortgage? For first-time buyers -- and even some seasoned ones -- the understanding of what a “mortgage” is can be elusive.

The amortization term is extended (for example, from 15 to 30 years) resulting in a reduction in the principal and interest payment. Note : An extension of the amortization term is not considered movement to a more stable product. The mortgage loan type changes from a fixed-rate to an ARM provided there is a reduction in the principal and interest payment. Note : Movement from a fixed-rate mortgage to an ARM is not considered a movement to a more stable mortgage product. Lenders are encouraged to provide fixed-rate mortgages to borrowers whenever possible. Fixed-rate mortgages are required if the LTV ratio exceeds 105%. The principal and interest payment is staying the same or increasing provided the borrower is moving to a shorter term mortgage or more stable mortgage product. Note: DU does not make the determination that the DU Refi Plus transaction will benefit the borrower. The lender must determine this outside of DU."

"text": "Thomas Eisenbach, David Lucca, and Karen Shen Stocks are usually offered in initial public offerings (IPOs) at a discount, leading to large first-day IPO returns. When there is a risk of a negative initial return, underwriters are known to actively support the aftermarket price of a stock through buying activities. In this post, we look at the trading book for Facebook stock on May 18, 2012, the day of its highly anticipated IPO. Using what we call a “large integer–price bid” identification assumption to indirectly infer which investors are bidding, we find evidence of significant trading by underwriters seeking to stabilize the stock’s price. This evidence suggests that underwriters incurred significant costs as a result of these activities. In an IPO, a company sells its shares to the public on a securities exchange for the first time. IPOs are generally conducted with the assistance of one or more investment banks acting as underwriters. The underwriters play three roles in the IPO process: They provide the company with procedural and financial advice, they buy the issue from the company, and they resell it to the public. A major task of the underwriters is setting the IPO price. The finance literature finds that IPOs are generally underpriced in the short run and overpriced in the long run."

A 30-page statement of facts from the U. S. Department of Justice released as part of the settlement shows how Countrywide and Merrill Lynch, both of which B of A acquired — as well as B of A itself — removed an increasing number of underwriting requirements over time without clear disclosure to investors. Countrywide, for example, had a policy where branch underwriters could refer loan applications that failed to meet guidelines to a \"\"Structured Loan Desk\"\" that would consider exceptions. The desk would approve exception requests based on a second set of what it called \"\"shadow guidelines\"\" that allowed underwriters to approve loans with loan-to-value and credit criteria below normal standards. If an application failed to meet the shadow guidelines, the Structured Loan Desk underwriters could return it to branch underwriters with a \"\"counter offer,\"\" essentially suggestions for how the application could be originated using a different loan product or asking the borrower to increase the size of a down payment. The branch underwriter could then decide whether to approve the loan. In other cases when an application before the Structured Loan Desk didn't meet the shadow guidelines, underwriters could submit it to Countrywide's \"\"Secondary Market Structured Loan Desk.\"\" This desk would determine whether the secondary market would buy the loan. If the Secondary Market Structured Loan Desk determined the loan saleable, it would price it and return the application to the branch underwriter for a decision. Countrywide also asked third parties reviewing samples of loans to consider these underwriting exceptions."

"text": "\"How long is your mortgage loan in underwriting?by Moe Bedard | Mar 22, 2010 | News - Loan Safe.org Once your mortgage loan has made it to the underwriting department you should be very close to closing the loan. The mortgage underwriter is the individual who reviews all of the borrowers financial documentation to make sure they qualify for the loan given. To qualify for this position you must have complete knowledge of the mortgage process and how applications are processed. Generally, the lender will require they have years of experience as a junior processor or as a loan officer’s assistant to qualify for this position. This person has to be well trained because this position will require precision when it comes to numbers and making sure the data is accurate. The reason this position requires years of experience is because they play a major role in deciding whether or not the loan will be approved for closing. Therefore, underwriters will have a list of things that need to be completed before their job is done. Many times people make it to this stage in the process and wonder how long it will take? Also due to our current housing crisis many homeowners are trying to pursue a loan modification to change the terms of their current loan. Even though the homeowner is not getting a new loan they must also go through underwriting to ensure all financial information is correct."

Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I'm not sure, but please, it's in your best interest not to leave a kid under the age of 11 at home by themselves. I remember in the late 80's, when I was in first or second grade, I'd walk home from school with kids and be the first one at home until my mom or dad came back from work. Then again that was the 1980s...and my parents would be home like an hour or two after I got home. Anything longer than that, my parents would leave me with a neighbor or my grandmother. Children of elementary age are really too young to know what to do if something happens. Not only are the kids themselves more in danger of starting a fire or something...but they're more likely to be coerced by a stranger. Child predators can get around the \"\"Don't talk to strangers\"\" lingo and convince a child to let them in! You don't want to leave a child that age alone...not only because the child could be kidnapped, but because you could probably go to jail and lose custody. If you can't find a babysitter or relative, you need to stay home."

Most parents want to allow their child an appropriate amount of freedom without burdening him with responsibilities for which he is not ready. Legal Age for Children to Stay Home Alone: Guidelines Most states do not actually have an official legal age for children to stay home alone.

With that said, the National SAFE KIDS Campaign recommends that no child be left alone under the age of twelve (despite the fact that some states recommend or even have laws that allow you to leave your child home alone at a younger age.) If your child is not at least twelve, most agencies recommend finding another child care solution.

There are many children who even at twelve or thirteen are still not ready to be left alone. Keep in mind your child's maturity level.

Follow These Safety Steps August 12, 2015School bells are ringing in a new school year and across the country kids are returning to the classroom. For many of these kids, a return to school also means being home alone after school until their parents get home from work. The American Red Cross has steps parents and children can take to make these after-school hours safer and less stressful. The first thing parents need to decide is if their child is responsible enough to stay home alone. If not, other options include after-school child care, programs at schools and youth clubs, or enrolling the child in youth sports programs. Whether a child is going to stay home alone should depend on the child’s maturity and comfort level. A general rule of thumb is that no child less than eight years of age should be left alone for any extended period of time. If the child is going to go home after school, it’s a good idea to have them call to check in when they get home."

If a 10-12 yr old and a 6 yr old are caught home alone, or a 12-13 yr old and a 6 yr old are caught home alone- they go to juvy hall and the parents pay restitution and a fine after they are counseled with child protective services - before they get their kids back. ANSWER #2 of 17I'm a little confused on this. I live in Texas and dvn2d said that the age for babysitting is 12. But the American Red Cross offers a Babysitter's Training Class in our area for children 11 and over. So if they aren't allowed to watch other kids until 12, why is the class offered? Our kids are in daycare right now, but we are planning to let our 11 and 10 year olds stay home this summer. But not until the 11 year old is certified by the ARC in May. She is a very mature 11 year old and we feel confident that she can be trusted, we just want her to have the proper emergency and first-aid training. Who been into high school before?"

By Susan Goldberg | Aug 9, 2015Every day after school, 12-year-old Elizabeth Green* and her younger siblings, Caitlin, 10, and Michael, 8, make the 10-minute walk home, unlock the door and settle in for few hours until their parents get home from work. “They’re supposed to unpack their lunches, walk the dog and practise their instruments,” says their mother, Amber Mc Knight*, who, like her partner, David Green*, works as a physician. “ Most of the time, they do — but I find it works best if I leave a written list of what has to get done.” It’s an arrangement that works well for the Thunder Bay, Ont., family, says Mc Knight, largely because of the kids’ personalities. “ They’re all very mellow, sensible children. They tend to be cautious, and they get along. ”Their neighbourhood — quiet and residential, in a city of about 100,000 people — may also contribute to why Mc Knight and Green feel comfortable letting their kids “latchkey” it.

"text": "At What Age Can a Child Be Left Home Alone?by MOLLY MCADAMS June 13, 2017Although there is no set age at which a child can be left home alone, there are guidelines parents can use to help determine if their child is physically, mentally and emotionally ready for this type of independence. Although most states do not have laws about leaving children home alone, some state agencies have rules on child supervision. Children who are independent, responsible and intelligent often can be left alone at a much earlier age than those who are not as mature. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Considerations As the New York State Office of Child & Family Services points out, some children are ready to be left alone as early as 12 or 13 years of age, while some teenagers are still too immature or irresponsible to stay home without supervision. Another consideration is the amount of time a child will be alone and whether they will have to supervise another child. Some children can be left alone only an hour or two while others of the same age may be able to take care of themselves all day. Guidance There is no set age at which a child can safely be left alone because children, even those of the same age, mature at different rates. Parents should consider whether their children are physically and mentally able to care for themselves, whether they normally obey rules and are capable of making good decisions and whether they are comfortable with the idea of staying home alone. Parents also must determine the length of time a child will be alone and the safety of their home and neighborhood. Safety Parents can help ensure their children are able to stay home alone by having a safety plan."

The creeping idea that anytime our kids are outside without us they are in DANGER, thus it is CRIME to take our eyes off them. The writer of the note below, from Western Maryland, also pens this blog. Here’s what’s happening out by her: Dear Free-Range Kids: Our kids have always been “Free -Range.” Unfortunately, today, someone called the police because of the “unsupervised children” running around the neighborhood. My son is six (seven in September), and we allow him to ride his bike to friend’s houses up the street (we live in a small, three-street neighborhood far from any major roads), rollerblade down the road, play with friends in the little patch of woods across the street from our houses, play in sprinklers with the neighbors, etc. There are constantly kids running around our neighborhood, playing with their friends — kids of all ages. The officer said that kids under ten, by law, are not allowed outside, unsupervised except in their parents’ yard. The officer did not come to our house, but visited the mom of two of my son’s good friends. The people who called reported that all the way back in the winter, a “whole bunch of unsupervised kids were sled riding down the hill” that is across from our townhouse units."

"text": "Leaving Kids Home Alone – At What Ages Are They Ready? By Susan Borowski Posted in: Kids Share 36 Tweet Pin 1 Comments 4It’s tempting to try to save money by eliminating daycare or a babysitter to care for your children in your absence. Although being home alone can help kids learn to be independent, it is imperative for them to be mature enough to handle the responsibility. Kids mature at different rates, so going by age alone is not necessarily the answer. Open and honest communication between you and your children can help you make a determination. However, there are additional guidelines that you must consider as well. How to Determine Readiness Readiness to be home alone depends on both age and maturity, and both must be taken into account for your child’s venture into this new area of responsibility to be successful.1. Take Age Into Account A recent U. S. Census showed that 7 million of the nation’s 38 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 are left home alone on a regular basis, while the average time spent alone is six hours per week. This might be fine for older kids, but it may not be safe for younger children. Only a handful of states legislate at which age a child can legally be left home alone: Both Maryland and North Carolina prohibit children under the age of 8 from being left alone."

"text": "A Work & Life Article Latchkey Kids Know the Law Large numbers of children in this country and elsewhere come home after school to empty apartments and homes. These children, often called “latchkey kids,” are responsible for their own well-being and entertainment during after-school hours. Many working parents find this a source of anxiety and worry. Before allowing a child to stay home alone or care for younger siblings, parents need to be aware of the guidelines for child supervision in their community. Typically, these guidelines take into account a variety of factors, including, but not limited to: The child’s age before they may be left alone at home The child’s mental, emotional and physical development Guidelines for Leaving Children Alone Do you know how old a child must be to be left alone at home? Many states and counties have strict laws that govern latchkey kids. In Montgomery County, Maryland, no child under the age of eight is to be left without supervision. A child that is between eight and 12 may be left alone for brief periods, but may not care for children under the age of eight. In Fairfax County, Virginia, guidelines say that below the age of seven, a child should not be left alone for any period of time. Children ages eight to ten may be alone for up to 90 minutes."

This past week, he asked if we could please plan a day of summer vacation to just stay home and not run any errands. In fact, he’s been asking me if I can let him stay by himself while I do little things around the neighborhood (laundry pick-up, library book return) for over a year now and I’ve been hard-pressed to find a reason why he can’t. He’s responsible, he’s bookish, he’s a rule-abiding citizen of the family. I could leave and be gone an hour and he might never even notice, so deep does he go in his books. But still, it made me nervous to let someone so young stay home by himself, even for a few minutes -- which is why I’ve been insisting that he accompany me (along with his younger brother and sister) to the laundromat around the corner and to the library a few blocks away."

There's a lot to consider, from how long they'll be home alone to how far away you'll be and who's going to be nearby in case of an emergency. In the process, you may be asking: What age is too young? Can I leave my 9-year-old home alone? How will I know when my kids are ready for the responsibility of staying home on their own? How can I prepare them so they'll be safe? Laws About Leaving Kids Home Alone Very few states and municipalities have laws that dictate when parents can legally leave kids home alone. However, before you even consider letting your kids stay home alone, you should check — and double check — your local laws. Recognize, too, that kids mature at different rates.

Its all about what you feel comfortable with, if shes responsible and you know she can handle all of the kids at the same time and knows what to do in an emergency, thats fine, but if she cant do that, dont leave them with her, take them with you.

If your nine-year-old is mature enough to stay home with your six-year-old while you run to the corner to get some milk, then that's your prerogative as a parent.

Remember a horse learns when he gets release of pressure, so if he pulls and gets release of pressure (being tied), then he thinks the right answer is to pull. I like using a good rope halter with no buckles or snaps and a good rope with no snaps. With a rope halter, a horse will not try too hard to escape since the rope pulls behind the ears and is NOT comfortable to the horse; he learns that when he pulls, pulling hurts and does not feel good, so he stops pulling and he stops the hurting. A rope halter is also called a cowboy halter or natural halter. Long ago, before snaps and fancy buckles, halters were tied not snapped."

I am a month out from my first marathon and just want it to GO AWAY. Any thoughts of how to stretch it out? – Amy Amy,This is going to be long so I hope that it is helpful. Many treatments are offered without knowing what the problem is. Treating the right problem with the right treatment is a science and an art. Many long time runners know more about handling running injuries than most physicians. The folks at the local running shoes store have usually seen it all and they can be a great source. They, along with sports physicians, sports Chiropractors and Physical Therapists are good resources to handle your problem."

ESPN.com Illustration Aug 2, 2012Tim Kurkjian ESPN Senior Writer Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment A baseball is a wondrous little thing. It weighs 6 ounces -- the same as an apple -- and is the perfect size and shape for the hand. It is the ideal home for the proudest autographs, so white and pristine, resting on the mantel or in the trophy case. A shiny new baseball is known as a \"\"pearl\"\"; pearls are so elegant and romantic. It is what brings fathers and sons together in the backyard for a joyful, peaceful game of catch. It appears in springtime, like flowers and warm sunshine. And yet, when that baseball is flying directly at a hitter at 95 mph, and that batter can hear the ball spinning, like the sound of a giant bee attacking, and then it hits that batter and those red seams bore into the skin like the teeth of a buzz saw, well, the elegance and romance of that pearl is replaced by piercing, pulsating, primal pain. It is pain that can last for weeks, it can leave a hideous mark that can last for months and it can instill a fear that can last forever."

Flag Why does your side hurt after running for a period of time? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Pain in the side while running or jogging is called a 'stitch'. It can happen even to the most seasoned of joggers every once in a while. It means the oblique muscle on your ribcage is not getting enough oxygen and is producing lactic acid, a waste product of glucose and glycogen that is produced in the muscles during intense or strenuous exercise. It can be painful- but that's about all it will do. Some find breathing deep (belly breathing) helps to abate the pain. Always remember to warm up properly before jogging and to keep good posture while running- shoulders back, stomach in and chin parallel to the ground. No hunching or leaning forward!"

First and foremost, it feels heavy due to stress and anxiety. The brain itself goes into a fight or flight mode, and tries to tell you it senses danger, causing physical symptoms to the body. Cortisol increases, there's no \"\"high\"\" like being in love. Our emotions take over, sleepless nights, tears, not eating because we are too depressed to, perhaps not being kind to ourselves, getting sloshed, and \"\"over-medicating\"\"during times of stress. Our pulse rate increases, or blood pressure goes up, and our hearts beat faster, we breathe faster. It feels like we got hit by a semi truck. File under been there, done that, and awe crap, here we go again. Buddhist, middle eastern, new age philosophies believe it is because our spiritual connection to another is broken, therefore our \"\"heart chakra\"\" suffers and is essentially broken. I tend to believe that this is true."

"text": "\"The 7 Biggest College Riots of All-Time Over the past few decades, the three things that have been typically associated with the outbreak of a riot in the U. S. are race, war, and sporting events (celebratory riots). With all of the political opinions and team spirit prevalent on a college campus, it's easy to see why so many riots do take place on or near college grounds. Here we take a look at some of the most significant college riots in U. S. history. Bonus: Also see college traditions that were banned because they got too out of hand.7. University of Maryland – April 1-2, 2002How it Started: The University of Maryland defeated Indiana to claim title to the NCAA men's basketball championship. It was Maryland's first ever college basketball title and the victory sent fans into a frenzy. An estimated 5,000 hit the streets in celebration. Fueled by excessive alcohol consumption, the mob lit trash cans and couches on fire and started overturning objects in the street. The Aftermath: Following the celebratory riot, 17 people were arrested, 6 police cars were damaged, over 16 fires had been set, two dozen were injured, and a Maryland state trooper was hit in the face with a plank. A night of bonfires, looting, drunken brawls, flying beer bottles and hundreds of troopers in riot gear caused roughly $50,000 in damages."

"text": "Winds of 127 mph ripped across Louisiana 10 years ago, leaving in its wake devastation of property, destruction of lives, and a death toll of 1,836 people. New Orleans was among the hardest hit due to its location on the Gulf Coast with levees breaching in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. FEMA called it “the single most catastrophic natural disaster in U. S. history,” and it is estimated to have caused $108 billion from the damage that ensued. While the majority of the city of New Orleans had been evacuated before the worst of the storm, many natives felt they could endure it in their own homes, like they had before. The combination of the Category 3 hurricane with the failure of the levees led to 80 percent of the city being immersed in water, and the need for tens of thousands to be rescued. Hurricane Katrina touched ground 10 years ago this week, yet its presence is still felt as New Orleans has rebuilt itself from the destruction. Here are 19 pictures showing the aftermath of that catastrophic storm and the people who survived it. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released this satellite image of Hurricane Katrina when the storm was a Category 5 hurricane.

One of the worst disasters in U.

The fire caused an explosion that damaged more than 1,000 buildings, according to the website of the Texas Historical Association. The blast ignited a fire on a second ship docked in Galveston Bay that was also loaded with ammonium nitrate. With most of the city's fire fighters killed in the first blast, the fire burned for 16 hours and caused another huge explosion. Volunteers fought to put out subsequent blazes. The historical association said almost 400 people were killed and more than 175 were listed as missing."

While most do understand that fascism is a form of totalitarian government, there is a common misconception that all forms of totalitarian governments are fascist. This is an incorrect assumption because there are many other components that must be in place in order for a system to be truly fascist. A thorough examination of the history of fascist regimes and the birth of this neosocialist ideology can dispel many misconceptions while also clearly defining what it truly is. What Is Fascism? Nazis in Munich, Beer Hall Pusch Before delving deep into the history of fascism, it is necessary to offer a clear definition of fascism from an ideological perspective while also defining fascism’s governmental structure. The ideology of fascism is one that is rooted in socialist tenets although it does allow highly regulated capitalism to exist within its economic construct. Fascism is purely authoritarian in nature.

"text": "\"The Trauma of Victimization Overview Tips for Coping Shock and Numbness Denial, Disbelief and Anger Recovery Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Secondary Injuries Interaction with the Criminal Justice System Conclusion Overview The trauma of victimization is a direct reaction to the aftermath of crime. Crime victims suffer a tremendous amount of physical and psychological trauma. The primary injuries victims suffer can be grouped into three distinct categories: physical, financial and emotional. When victims do not receive the appropriate support and intervention in the aftermath of the crime, they suffer \"\"secondary\"\" injuries. The physical injury suffered by victims may be as apparent as cuts, bruises, or broken arms and legs. However, it is not uncommon for victims to be fatigued, unable to sleep, or have increased or decreased appetites. Many victims believe that the stress caused by victimization endangers them to physical problems later in life. Victims and survivors suffer financially when their money or jewelry is taken, when their property is damaged, when their medical insurances does not cover all expenses, and when they must pay funeral costs. The primary emotional injuries of victimization cause both immediate and long-term reactions to victims, their loved ones and, sometimes, their friends. Dr. Morton Bard, co-author of The Crime Victim's Book, has described a victim's reaction to crime as the crisis reaction."

"text": "The Mining Barge Aftermath, and the Future of Mining In Eve By Submission | Sep 23rd 2016 8:00PM40 Comments On September 13th, CCP released the latest major update to Eve online, and as miners go, there were some mixed reviews. Now a week later, the miners and industrialists have had a chance to play with the dynamics of the updated mining barges, leading some to speculate on the future of mining in Eve online. Up to this point, mining has been a backbone of Eve, providing the raw materials for creating everything from ships to their fittings; a unique career that allows some to “AFK – Mine,” and play with very little interaction between themselves and the game. As mining can be a tedious process with lesser rewards when compared with other Pv E activities, many have called for a re-balance to this sometimes underrated, but vital portion of Eve. According to the dev-blog“…we are completing a light pass on the stats and bonuses of these ships and of the strip miner modules themselves. The balance between the mining ships is in a fairly healthy state right now so we’re not making any drastic changes to the relative strengths of the different barges and exhumers. ”What this effectively boils down to, is a balancing of high slots (all barges are now fit with 2), changing the stats of the modules and ships to compensate for the loss or gain of a high slots, and a change in the stats to the “Ore Faction” strip miners. As soon as it was announced what the changes would be, capsuleers, both miners and non, took to the forums and reddit to give their opinion on how this would change Eve, for the better or the worse. The general consensus was, after hours calculating the different stats, that there would be little difference between the barges before and after the change, although for some of the barges, specifically the Hulk and the Covetor, they would see a moderate drop in their mining abilities, with the loss of one High-Slot. Solo Mining According to the CCP post, loss of a high slot would be balanced by gaining a low slot, along with a 25% role bonus reduction to strip miner/ ice harvester duration and activation cost."

By Peter Grier, Staff writer November 6, 2013Cecil Stoughton/White House via John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library, Boston View Caption About video ads View Caption Washington — In the last weeks of his life, President John F. Kennedy spent a lot of time worrying about the rising foreign-policy problem of Vietnam. Whether he would have avoided successor Lyndon B. Johnson’s tragic escalation of US involvement in Southeast Asia remains one of the great “what ifs?” of 20th-century geopolitics. It’s possible he would have dispatched hundreds of thousands of US combat troops to the country, as did LBJ. Kennedy was a cold-war Democrat, meaning he was a committed anti-communist. His brother Robert Kennedy said in a 1964 oral history that JFK never thought about pulling out of Vietnam and was convinced the United States had to stand there against Soviet expansionism.

From a May 23 to July 8, 2006, exhibit at The University of Southern Mississippi Museum of Art on the campus in Hattiesburg. The ferocity of Hurricane Katrina etched the date August 29, 2005, in the minds of everyone who experienced it. South Mississippians, and the thousands of people from across the country who came to their aid, are forever shaped by the disaster and its aftermath. Katrina made landfalls in southeast Florida and Buras, Louisiana, before it slammed into the Mississippi Gulf Coast near the mouth of the Pearl River as a Category Three hurricane around 10:00 a.m. that fateful Monday. 1 The hurricane brought top winds estimated at 125 miles per hour and an estimated thirty-foot-high storm surge that penetrated at least six miles inland in some sections of the coast, and up to twelve miles inland along bays and rivers. It was a massive storm—it had a 25-mile to 30-mile radius of maximum winds and a wide swath of hurricane force winds extending at least 75 miles to the east along the Mississippi coast. Throughout the morning, Katrina weakened while slowly moving inland into southern and central Mississippi, becoming a Category One storm by 1:00 p.m. About six hours later, it weakened to a tropical storm just northwest of Meridian, Mississippi. In its wake, Katrina left mass destruction, widespread confusion, and unforeseen human misery—49 counties in Mississippi were declared federal disaster areas ( See FEMA map ). According to the 2000 census, 1,931,619 people lived in those counties—363,988 people lived in the three counties along the shoreline of the Mississippi Gulf Coast where about 158,000 houses were damaged or destroyed."

Credit: GOES Project Science Office Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest hurricanes ever to hit the United States. An estimated 1,833 people died in the hurricane and the flooding that followed in late August 2005, and millions of others were left homeless along the Gulf Coast and in New Orleans. Katrina was the most destructive storm to strike the United States and the costliest storm in U. S. history, causing $108 billion in damage, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It ranks sixth overall in strength of recorded Atlantic hurricanes. It was also a very large storm; at its peak, maximum winds stretched 25 to 30 nautical miles (46 to 55 kilometers) and its extremely wide swath of hurricane force winds extended at least 75 nautical miles (138 km) to the east from the center. Data from the GOES-5 satellite drove this simulation, illuminating the wind intensities and water vapor transport powering the massive category 5 storm, which ravaged New Orleans, Louisiana and adjoining areas in 2005. Katrina is considered one for the 5 deadliest storms in American history. How Katrina formed Katrina initially formed about 200 miles (322 km) southeast of the Bahamas on Aug. 23, 2005, as a tropical depression, according to the NOAA. A well-defined band of storm clouds began to wrap around the north side of the storm's circulation center in the early morning hours of Aug. 24."

Baby Boomers are different than their parents. They have grown up in a different culture and have formed a unique set of values and ideals. One way that Boomers are different from their parents is by staying longer in the workforce. This generation plans to work as they think it keeps them alive.

"text": "\"Previous First Next Consumer Trends Report – Chapter 9: Consumer Spending Chapter 9 — Consumer Spending Menu Overview of Household Spending Spending by Income Quintile Spending by Household Type Consumer Spending on Transportation Consumer Spending on Food Consumer Spending on Health Care Patterns of spending give a good picture of consumer behaviour, showing various social, economic and marketplace trends at the household level. For example, the increasing number of senior couples who report spending on recreation and entertainment services (from 68 percent in 1982 to 93 percent in 2002) demonstrates their better finances and health. And the increase in average household spending on communications, more than tripling between 1982 ($375) and 2002 ($1225), reveals the \"\"connectedness\"\"of today's society (Statistics Canada 1982 and 2002a). While harder to document, consumer behaviour is also revealed by decisions not to spend. For example, if enough people are involved, boycotting a company or a product (or even the threat of it) can be an effective way for consumers to make their opinions felt. Boycotting has brought about a number of changes in companies' social and business behaviour, such as the development of certain voluntary codes. 260 In fact, any consumer decision to stop buying a product can ultimately and substantially influence corporate strategies. New trends in the fast food industry's offerings are one example of the marketplace's responsiveness to consumers' willingness to walk away. 261Spending data: Analytical implication The spending data in this chapter are not adjusted for inflation, and all charts are in current dollars, since the categories of goods and services in the consumer price index ( CPI) are not always sufficiently congruent with the available categories in the spending data (complicating the process of deflating spending figures) (see the Appendix ). 262 For example, the health care component of the CPI does not consider insurance premiums, which are the largest component of household health care expenditures."

"text": "Lead is a naturally occurring metal found in rock and soil and also has many industrial applications. Due to both its natural occurrence and long history of global use, lead is ubiquitous in the environment and is present in air, water and soil as well as in food, drinking water and household dust. Levels of lead in most environmental media have declined significantly over the past few decades due to the discontinued use of lead in paint, gasoline and the solder used in food cans. Lead in Food Since the phase-out of leaded gasoline and the subsequent reduction of airborne lead, food and drinking water are the primary sources of lead exposure to adults within the general population. In addition to food and drinking water, the ingestion of house dust and soil containing lead can also significantly contribute to the lead exposure of infants and toddlers. Lead is not permitted to be added to foods sold in Canada; however, due to its ubiquitous presence in the environment, it is present in all foods, generally at very low levels. Lead can enter the food chain through various pathways. For example, plants uptake lead from the soil and airborne lead may also be deposited on their surfaces. Also, fish can absorb lead from water and sediments while other animals may be exposed to lead through the foods they eat. Lead may also be introduced to foods from the use of lead containing dishware such as lead glazed pottery or lead crystalware."

Early animal studies showed varied results about the safety of aspartame. There was a large controversy regarding the approval of aspartame in the US. In 1981, the head of the FDA was fired, allegedly after refusing to approve the legalization of aspartame. His successor legalized it and later accepted a job offer with Searle, the company which owned aspartame. There are four other major commercial sweeteners, sucralose [955]saccharin [954], cyclamate [952] and acesulphame potassium [950] These have also been linked with various forms of cancer, genetic abnormalities and other chronic diseases. Current evidence Aspartame In 2006, the European Ramazzini Foundation published a study on aspartame consumption in rats and linked its consumption to an increase in the incidence of cancer. [ 1] The European Food and Safety Authority (EFSA) requested all unpublished data from the study and re-evaluated all current evidence.

Grass pickerel and redfin pickerel are distributed from the St. Lawrence River drainage in southern Canada and the Finger Lakes southward to Lake Okeechobee, Florida. Grass pickerel mainly exist west of the Appalachian mountain chain, along the Mississippi River regions. Redfin pickerel exist mainly east along the Atlantic slope. Grass pickerel replace redfin pickerel in the drainages of the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River, and in Ontario. Grass pickerel were introduced to Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Washington, western Pennsylvania, Maryland, western New York, and potentially even Wisconsin (COSEWIC, 2005). ( \"\" COSEWIC assessment and status report on the grass pickerel Esox americanus vermiculatus in Canada\"\", 2005; Page and Burr, 1991; Page and Burr, 2011)Biogeographic Regions nearcticintroduced native Habitat Grass and redfin pickerel reside in aquatic areas where there are large spans of aquatic vegetation. They are mainly found in relatively shallow (less than 2 meters) and warm (24-27 degrees Celsius) swamps, lakes, backwaters, and slow-moving pool habitats within stream channels that are clear. Usually, they reside in bodies of water that have muddy bottoms, but they can also exist in rocky substrates. They are mainly a freshwater species, but have been reported to be found in the brackish waters of New York and New Jersey and occasionally in brackish water around the Chesapeake Bay. ( \"\""

"text": "\"Spicy Garlic Cumin Flank Steak Photography by Jeff Coulson Image by: Spicy Garlic Cumin Flank Steak</br>Photography by Jeff Coulson Author: Canadian Living Food How to cook a perfect steak Jun 20, 2010By: The Canadian Living Test Kitchen Share When it comes to beef, steaks are a big-ticket item. To get the most for your money, get to know your butcher – ask questions about where the beef comes from, how it was raised and how long it was aged. Getting friendly with your butcher will pay off deliciously at dinner. Know your steaks Two types of steaks are perfect for summer barbecues: Grilling steaks and marinating steaks. While marinating steaks are cut from flank and short plate sections, prime grilling steaks are cut from rib, sirloin and loin sections. The loin section can be cut two ways: removing the tenderloin and strip loin separately; or cutting steaks that contain portions of both the tenderloin and strip loin (T-bone and porterhouse). Tender grilling steaks can be cooked with minimal preparation. Less tender marinating steaks benefit from standing in an acidic-based mixture for four to 24 hours to tenderize them. Marinating steaks should be grilled only to medium-rare or medium: anything beyond medium tends to produce toughness. Grilling steaks Tenderloin: Medallions or filets are cut from the loin section and are the leanest, most tender steaks."

The next time you're thinking about adding more energy to your day or getting more oxygen in your body, simply add more iron to your diet, says personal trainer and holistic nutrition coach Ange Peters of Hol-Fit.com, based in London, Ont. \"\" Iron is an essential nutrient, meaning that we must get it through our food choices. Nearly 80 per cent of people don't get the daily iron requirement through their food choices, so it is important to be mindful when planning your meals,\"\" she says. Peters also adds that iron deficiencies can easily be noticeable. \"\" Low iron levels can cause iron-deficiency-anemia which will show itself in various ways such as low energy, dizziness, pale skin and peeling nails,\"\" she tells The Huffington Post Canada. According to Health Link British Columbia, the average male (between the ages of 19 to 49) needs about 8 mgs of iron, and the average female in the same age group needs about 18 mgs. Pregnant women, Peters adds, should be eating 27 mgs of iron daily. \"\" The needs are quite different for females than they are for males and this is an area that needs to be addressed through proper meal planning and/or supplements. Those most at risk of developing iron-deficiency anemia are young children, adolescents and pregnant women,\"\" she says."

They quickly spread throughout the Strait of Georgia and were accidentally introduced on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Manila clams that exist around Bella Bella are believed to have been carried into the area as pelagic larvae from Quatsino Sound. Manila clams are found from the central coast of BC to California. They are found in the upper half of the intertidal zone in BC in mixed substrates of mud, sand and gravel. These clams live in shallow transitory burrows in the substrate. No significant subtidal populations of Manila clams have been found in BC. Species Biology Manila clams have separate sexes and are broadcast spawners, synchronously releasing gametes into the water column, where fertilization occurs. Maturation occurs between 20-25 mm in length, or approximately 1-3 years of age and spawning occurs from June to September in the Strait of Georgia. Temperatures of 12-13°C are required for gonadal development, and temperatures of 15°C are required for spawning."

June 20, 2012 By Mr. CBB 42 Comments SAVING MONEY WITH A BUDGETLast week Mr. CBB asked me, “What do you think is a reasonable weekly grocery budget for 1 person in Canada?” The question got me thinking: You can’t define a single weekly grocery budget that will work for everyone because there are too many variables. Determining your grocery budget First and foremost, a budget is determined by income. Some people can afford to spend more on food than others. A Budget is also affected by food prices, which can vary depending upon your location. For example, because the weather is inhospitable to farming and the location remote, food will always cost more in the Yukon than it will in Ontario. Through need or preference, some people will have special dietary needs. If you need to buy special ingredients due to an allergy or illness, or if you choose to eat only organic foods, you can expect to pay a premium for shopping to accommodate those requirements. How much effort are you willing to put in?"

Heather Loney, Global News-A A+Listen What should you eat for breakfast? What about lunch and dinner? That’s the question Canada’s Food Guide attempts to answer. The Guide – a colourful breakdown of what Canadians should be eating each day – is at its core, simple; eat X amount of servings of vegetables and fruit, grains, milk, and meats. But it’s also complex; you can’t eat a loaf of white bread, and three blood-red steaks, while drinking cream and fruit juice all day. You can’t eat whatever you want The Food Guide’s goal, according to a Health Canada spokesperson, is to keep Canadians healthy and goes to some length – mostly a comprehensive website – to recommend healthier choices for Canadians. “The Food Guide does state as well to consume fruit and vegetables more often than juice and to limit beverages and food that are high in calories, fat sodium, and sugar,” Health Canada’s Alfred Aziz said in an interview. The Food Guide breaks down most foods into four categories – meat, grains, milk, vegetables and fruit, and their alternatives. It suggests men between the age of 19 and 30, for example, eat three servings of meat or alternatives (like beans, eggs, or tofu) each day, eight to 10 servings of vegetables and fruit, eight grain products, and two milk products."

Minimum wage provisions were first introduced in Ontario in 1920 with the Minimum Wage Act. Effective January 1, 1969, this legislation was repealed and its main provisions were absorbed into the Employment Standards Act, 1968. The general intent of the minimum wage regulation is to create a wage floor for the labour market, and to set a base standard of living for employees. [ i ] It should be noted that in Ontario the rate itself is set out in the regulations to the ESAThe following policy objectives are given consideration when adjusting the minimum wage: Fostering economic viability;Minimizing potential adverse employment/economic effects of increases;Encouraging participation in the labour market – workers should be better off working than being on social assistance;Ensuring that workers' earnings are not diminished by rising inflationary costs;Increases should be viewed by labour and employer stakeholders as fair. The minimum wage provisions apply to most employees in Ontario. They apply regardless of the employee's employment status ( e.g., full-time, part-time, casual, permanent, temporary) or the basis on which they are paid ( e.g., hourly rate, commission, piece rate, flat rate or salary). [ ii ]There is currently no formal process established in Ontario for increasing the minimum wage on a regular basis. The minimum wage is not tied to any economic indicator. Throughout its history, the minimum wage has been subject to a series of periods of freezes and ad-hoc increases."

The Game Boy Color has a number of interesting rarities due to how long Nintendo kept the platform going — even after the release of the Game Boy Advance. Since this guide was originally published in 2008, we have seen quite an increase in values for boxed and sealed games. So I have updated and expanded this list (and separated it from the original Game Boy listings)In stark contrast to the Cheapest Games series, this Rare & Valuable series will round up the rarest and most valuable games for a given console or handheld so you’ll know what to look for whether you are buying or selling. Below you will see two prices beside each title. The first is the average daily selling price, which is typically the going rate for the game by itself. The second price is the highest price in the past three months which is usually the price for the new/sealed game. The list is ordered by the balance of the two prices. Note that some of these games are not rare in the sense that there are not many available, but rare relative to demand, which makes the games expensive.

It is the first game in the Dragon Age franchise, and was released for Microsoft Windows, Play Station 3, and Xbox 360 in November 2009, and for OS X in December 2009. Set in the fictional kingdom of Ferelden during a period of civil strife, the game puts the player in the role of a warrior, mage, or rogue coming from an elven, human, or dwarven background. The player character is recruited into the Grey Wardens, an ancient order that stands against demonic forces known as \"\"Darkspawn\"\", and is tasked with defeating the Archdemon that commands them and ending their invasion. The game is played from a third-person perspective that can be shifted to top-down perspective. Throughout the game, players encounter various companions, who play major roles in the game's plot and gameplay. Bio Ware described Dragon Age: Origins as a \"\"dark heroic fantasy \"\" set in a unique world, and a spiritual successor to their previous Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights franchises. Its setting was inspired by The Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice & Fire, and was described by Bio Ware as a mix between high fantasy and low fantasy. Development of the game began in 2002 and Bio Ware employed more than 144 voice-actors, and hired Inon Zur to compose the game's music. The development of the game's console versions were outsourced to Edge of Reality."

"text": "You Are Here: Home → Medical Encyclopedia → Appropriate for gestational age (AGA)Appropriate for gestational age (AGA)Gestation is the period of time between conception and birth. During this time, the baby grows and develops inside the mother's womb. If the baby's gestational age findings after birth match the calendar age, the baby is said to be appropriate for gestational age (AGA). AGA babies have lower rates of problems and death than babies that are small or large for their gestational age. Information Gestational age is the common term used during pregnancy to describe how far along the pregnancy is. It is measured in weeks, from the first day of the woman's last menstrual cycle to the current date. A normal pregnancy can range from 38 to 42 weeks. Gestational age can be determined before or after birth. Before birth, your health care provider will use ultrasound to measure the size of the baby's head, abdomen, and thigh bone. This provides a view on how well the baby is growing in the womb."

The purposes of this policy statement are to review conventional definitions of age during the perinatal period and to recommend use of standard terminology including gestational age, postmenstrual age, chronological age, corrected age, adjusted age, and estimated date of delivery.gestational age postmenstrual age chronological agemenstrual age conceptional age postconceptual agecorrected age adjusted age estimated date of deliveryestimated date of confinement INTRODUCTIONConsistent definitions to describe the length of gestation and age in neonates are needed to compare neurodevelopmental, medical, and growth outcomes. The terms “gestational age,” “postmenstrual age,” “corrected age,” and “postconceptional age” have frequently been defined unconventionally, 1, 2 misapplied, 3 – 5 or left undefined. 6, 7 Inconsistent use of terminology limits the accurate interpretation of data on health outcomes for newborn infants, especially for those born preterm or conceived using assisted reproductive technology. The purposes of this statement are to review conventional definitions of age during the perinatal period and to recommend standard terminology. “Gestational age” (or “menstrual age”) is the time elapsed between the first day of the last normal menstrual period and the day of delivery (Fig 1 ). 8 – 10 The first day of the last menstrual period occurs approximately 2 weeks before ovulation and approximately 3 weeks before implantation of the blastocyst. Because most women know when their last period began but not when ovulation occurred, this definition traditionally has been used when estimating the expected date of delivery. As long as menstrual dates are remembered accurately, this method of estimating the date of delivery is reliable. 11 Minor inaccuracy (4–6 days) in the expected date of delivery determined from menstrual dates is attributable to inherent biological variability in the relative timing of onset of the last menstrual period, fertilization of the egg, and implantation of the blastocyst."

"text": "Jump to: Symptoms | Causes | Diagnosis | Treatment | Is it curable? | Is there a diverticulitis diet? What Is diverticulitis? Diverticulitis is a relatively common condition, but not all doctors are familiar with the symptoms and treatment. To start understanding it yourself, you’ll need a big-picture glimpse of your digestive system—specifically the colon. Also known as the large intestine, the colon is a tube-shaped organ between the small intestine and the rectum. It’s thought that when the muscles in the colon spasm, small sacs called diverticula begin to form on the wall of the intestine. People who have multiple sacs (or pouches) in their colon have diverticulosis; when these sacs become inflamed or infected, the condition is called diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is the inflammation of diverticula, which range in size from about 1/10 of an inch to more than an inch. Although these sacs can develop anywhere in the colon, they often form in the sigmoid colon, near the rectum. ("

"text": "\"News > Medscape Medical News > Conference News > American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2012 National Conference and Exhibition Caffeine Therapy Improves Outcomes in Premature Infants Caroline Helwick October 21, 2012NEW ORLEANS — Caffeine therapy initiated for prevention of apnea of prematurity shortly after birth reduces gross motor function impairment and, in infants who are small for gestational age (SGA), improves many hospital-related outcomes, new research suggests. Here at the 2012 American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition, Barbara Schmidt, MD, principal investigator of the Caffeine for Apnea of Prematurity (CAP) study, presented 5-year follow-up results. Other investigators reported new information on its benefits in SGA premature infants. \"\" Striking\"\" Reduction in Length of Stay In a study led by Pradeep Alur, MD, of Well Span Health in York, Pennsylvania, caffeine therapy initiated within 3 days of life in premature (≤ 29 weeks) SGA infants reduced the duration on mechanical ventilation and shortened hospital length of stay. \"\" We believe that ours is the first study to compare the effect of early caffeine on neonatal outcomes in SGA preterm infants,\"\" he said. SGA infants have significantly higher mortality and risk for chronic lung disease (CLD) and longer hospital stays than premature infants whose size is appropriate for gestational age (AGA). The retrospective chart review (2007 - 2011) included data for 198 premature infants surviving to discharge or to 36 weeks corrected gestational age. Caffeine was prescribed at the discretion of the attending neonatologist for either periextubation prophylaxis or for treatment of apnea. The study evaluated the benefit of initiating caffeine started ≤3 days of life (the \"\"early caffeine\"\" group), compared with control participants, who could have received caffeine on day 4 or later. The study examined not only the benefit of caffeine but also differences in various outcomes between SGA infants and AGA infants."

"text": "\"Pancreatic Neoplasms Peter Lee, MDTyler Stevens, MDPublished: February 2014Contents Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma accounts for 90% of cancers of the pancreas. The diagnostic and therapeutic approaches outlined here integrate the AGA guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ( Figure 1 ). Prevalence Pancreatic cancer is the fourth and fifth most common cancer in men and women, respectively. It accounts for more than 30,000 new cases and 20,000 cancer-related deaths each year. Most patients are older than 60 years. The male-to-female ratio is 2 : 1. Overall, less than 5% of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is alive at 5 years, reflecting late diagnosis and poor prognosis even with resection. Back to Top Risk Factors The AGA guidelines have recommended smoking cessation for preventing pancreatic cancer. Based on animal experiments, the aromatic amines present in cigarette smoke, meats, and fish oil may be the specific pathogenic factor predisposing to neoplastic transformation. Occupations with a high exposure to amines (e.g., chemistry, hairdressing, rubber work) can confer an increased risk."

"text": "\"A modern-day three-oven AGA cooker The AGA cooker is a heat storage stove and cooker, which works on the principle that a heavy frame made of cast iron can absorb heat from a relatively low-intensity but continuously burning source, and the accumulated heat can then be used for cooking. Originally heated by slow-burning coal, the Aga cooker was invented in 1922 by the Nobel Prize–winning Swedish physicist Gustaf Dalén (1869–1937), who was employed as the chief engineer of the Swedish AGA company ( Swedish Aktiebolaget Svenska Gasaccumulator, English Swedish Gas Accumulator, Limited ). The cookers were imported to Britain in 1929 and were manufactured there under licence in the early 1930s. The cast-iron parts were cast at the Coalbrookdale foundry in the 1940s, where they were still made by the Aga Rangemaster Group until November 2017 when Middleyby closed the site with the loss of 35 jobs. [ 1]AGA / ˈ ɑː ɡ ə / [2] is an acronym of the company name, Aktiebolaget Gas Accumulator. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Energy use3 Models4 Longevity5 See also6 References History [ edit]Gustaf Dalén lost his sight in an explosion while developing his earlier invention, a porous substrate for storing gases, Agamassan. Forced to stay at home, Dalén discovered that his wife was exhausted by cooking. Although blind, he set out to develop a new stove that was capable of a range of culinary techniques and easy to use. Adopting the principle of heat storage, he combined a heat source, two large hotplates and two ovens into one unit: the AGA Cooker. The cooker was introduced to England in 1929, and its popularity in certain parts of English society (owners of medium to large country houses) led to the coining of the term \"\" AGA Saga \"\" in the 1990s, referring to a genre of fiction set amongst stereotypical upper-middle-class society."

"text": "Overview An extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infant is defined as one with a birth weight of less than 1000 g (2 lb, 3 oz). Most extremely low birth weight infants are also the youngest of premature newborns, usually born at 27 weeks' gestational age or younger. Infants born with a birth weight less than 1500 g are defined as very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Approximately 3,952,841 US births were reported in 2012. [ 1] Low birth weight (< 2500 g) was noted in 7.99% of the births, and VLBW was noted in 1.42% of all births. Over the last 2 decades, there has been a consistent downward shift in the US birth weight distribution, driven by a steady increase in births with weights less than 3500 g and a relative decrease in births with weights over 3500 g. Infants whose weight is appropriate for their gestational ages are termed appropriate for gestational age (AGA). Infants who are heavier than expected are termed as large for gestational age (LGA); conversely, those smaller than expected are considered small for gestational age (SGA), and are they also usually found to be intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) prior to birth. ELBW survival has improved with the widespread use of exogenous surfactant agents, maternal steroids, and advancements in neonatal technologies. The minimum age of viability is currently considered to be 23 weeks' gestation, with scattered reports of survivors born at 21-22 weeks' estimated gestation. Next: Morbidity and Mortality"

S. building industry. For example, ASHRAE Standard 90.1, Energy Efficiency in Commercial and High-Rise Residential Buildings, is considered as the basis for federal energy efficiency requirements for buildings under the Energy Policy Act of 1992. AGA is currently active on four major ASHRAE standards addressing energy efficiency, and ventilation and indoor air quality. In addition to the energy-efficiency standard 90.1 discussed in the paragraph above, AGA is represented on the committee for ASHRAE Standard 90.2, Energy Efficient Design of New Low-Rise Residential Buildings. In the area of ventilation and indoor air quality, AGA is active in ASHRAE standards committee meetings and public review of proposals to ASHRAE Standard 62.1, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality covering commercial and high-rise residential buildings and Standard 62.2, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings, a new standard for residential buildings. AGA is also active in technical committee activities supporting the standards, and is organizing natural gas utility participation in the standards process. AGA Viewpoint Standards activities at ASHRAE can represent critical threats and opportunities for the competitiveness of natural gas as an end-use fuel. Energy efficiency requirements in ASHRAE standards, promulgated under federal statute or through model energy codes, can affect the advantages of natural gas for both consumers and builders by increasing equipment costs and installation costs for natural gas applications. Ventilation standards can place undue restrictions on natural gas applications, and present conflicts with other consensus codes and standards. AGA is working within the ASHRAE process and the consensus standards organizations, including the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), to avoid the development of ASHRAE standards that would reduce the competitive advantages of natural gas."

Aetna considers dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of defecation (also known as MR defecography) experimental and investigational for the evaluation of rectal prolapse, rectal intussusception, other pelvic floor disorders, and all other indications because its effectiveness for these indications has not been established. * Note: Chronic constipation is defined as the presence of 2 or more of the following symptoms for at least 3 months: Lumpy and/or hard stools at least 1/4 of the time; or Sensation of incomplete evacuation at least 1/4 of the time; or Straining at defecation at least 1/4 of the time; or Two or fewer bowel movements per week. See also CPB 0132 - Biofeedback. Background Defecography (evacuation proctography) is a radiological contrast study that is used to evaluate the anatomy and function of the lower bowel during the process of defecation using fluoroscopic techniques. Contrast material (e.g., barium paste) similar to the consistency of stool is placed into the rectum. The individual is then seated on a specially constructed (ie, radiolucent) commode and instructed to bear down, cough, relax or squeeze. Fluoroscopy or videofluoroscopy is used to monitor the anatomy of the anorectal activity during squeezing, relaxation and while evacuating the barium. Defecography has been proposed as a diagnostic test of constipation to evaluate lower bowel disorders that are not evident by direct visualization. The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) guidelines on constipation (2000) recommended a systematic approach to patients with constipation."

Infants born before 37 weeks are considered premature. Infants born after 42 weeks are considered postmature. Information Gestational age can be determined before or after birth.

That is why fire names give such meaning if you give them to your little ones. Keep on reading to find cool boy and girl names meaning fire. Fire has been a constant metaphor associated with an exceptional level of intensity, passion, and even temptation. Its characteristics are widely used in the figurative language, which adds depth to its meaning. Even love was no stranger to it. Even the most rational of men can awaken the inner god in themselves with nothing but relying on their pure instincts. The body itself inadvertently succumbs to the hedonistic desire that is found in another human body, grazing one’s skin against the other while bathing themselves to the pleasure brought by their burning passion for love.

They could be people from Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and other places. They are largely Spanish and their culture is influenced by the same. Spanish names have two surnames, one from a mother and one from a father. However, in most cases the father’s surname is passed on to the child. This same naming culture is followed by Hispanics as well. They base their last name or surname on the father’s surname and can use the mother’s surname as the middle name. Spanish names carry a softness and charm, which is well reflected in Hispanic names as well.

A symbolic representation of the virtues which describes your personality or your higher potential.-Elijah Muhammad (NOI)FEMALE | MALEA beautiful name accompanies us for the rest of our life and is a critical rite of passage in African culture. This act of naming is so critical to self-determination that we have therefore prepared a small sample of popular African names. * When choosing a name take into consideration that some names are religious and cultural (e.g. most Swahili names are Islamic/Muslim, Ghanaian name reflect the day of the birth.) Most names in Africa, unlike in Europe are directly connected to a meaning, i.e. the name ASHAKI means light to all speakers of the language. So most non-European names used by Africans actually still retain their intrinsic meaning. AFRICAN NAMES By Molefi Asante Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

Photo by Willow, Picture use (cc2)Sugar maple tree, ( Acer saccharum ). Photo by Bruce Marlin, Picture use (cc2)There are many types of Maple ( Acer) species, and this genus consists of tree and shrub growth form types. This genus contains mostly species that are deciduous trees growing to 10 to 45m (30 to 145ft) in height, see Maple pictures on this page. Other species of the Acer genus are shrubs less than 10m (30ft) tall with a number of small trunks (and or branches) originating at ground level. Most Maple species are deciduous, however a few species in southern Asia and the Mediterranean region are evergreen. Maple Tree Identification;Maple trees can be easily identified by their leaves. The leaves in most species are palmate veined and lobed, with 3-9 (rarely to 13) veins each leading to a lobe, one of which is central or apical. A small number of species differ in having palmate compound, pinnate compound, pinnate veined or un-lobed leaves. Several species, including Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple), Acer mandshuricum (Manchurian Maple), Acer maximowiczianum (Nikko Maple), and Acer triflorum (Three-flowered Maple), have trifoliate leaves."

Please help improve this article by introducing citations to additional sources. ( October 2017)A cabochon of Lake Superior agate The Lake Superior agate is a type of agate stained by iron and found on the shores of Lake Superior. Its wide distribution and iron-rich bands of color reflect the gemstone's geologic history in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. In 1969 the Lake Superior agate was designated by the Minnesota Legislature as the official state gemstone. The Lake Superior agate was selected because the agate reflects many aspects of Minnesota. It was formed during lava eruptions that occurred in Minnesota about a billion years ago. [ 1] The stone's predominant red color comes from iron, a major Minnesota industrial mineral found extensively throughout the Iron Range region. Finally, the Lake Superior agate can be found in many regions of Minnesota as it was distributed by glacial movement across Minnesota 10,000 to 15,000 years ago."

On March 1, 1856, Saint Louis County became Lake County, while Newton County to the west was renamed Saint Louis County. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the area had long been inhabited by Native American groups. At the time of European contact, the principal Native American groups in the region were the Dakota (Sioux) and Ojibwe (also called Anishinabe or Chippewa). The economy of these groups was based on hunting, fishing and gathering, with wild rice being of particular importance. The first Europeans to explore the area were the French in the late 17th century [4] who were followed by trappers, fur traders, missionaries, and explorers."

Agate and jasper are part of the chalcedony family, a variety of quartz. Distinctly banded specimens that differ in color and in degree of translucency are called agate; and mottled yellow, red, brown or green chalcedony is called jasper.

"text": "\"last modified: Wednesday, 15-Feb-2012 01:48:47 CETDocument status: incomplete Jasper is the name of dense and opaque varieties of microcrystalline quartz. Jasper is not really a mineral in the strict sense, but a mixture of different types of microcrystalline quartz with impurities of other minerals, and is called a textural variety of quartz. Jasper of homogeneous color looks a bit like a colored, opaque flint, and shares many of its physical properties, but it forms in different environments. Multicolored jasper makes for an interesting ornamental stone, and red jasper is cut as a gemstone. Specific Properties What clearly distinguishes jasper from other valuable cryptocrystalline varieties like agate, chrysoprase, sard, or carnelian, is its opacity. Only thin chips of jasper are translucent. It might, for example, be of the same color as a carnelian, but the latter is translucent. Heliotrope is opaque and thus considered a variety of jasper (see below). The high content of embedded iron compounds occasionally causes the streak to be slightly colored, which is very different from all other quartz varieties. Most of the times the streak will be colorless or white, though."

"text": "\"The Mineral jasper Jasper is an opaque form of Chalcedony, which is a microcrystalline variety of the mineral Quartz. It often contains an abundance of impurities, and therefore some regard it as a rock instead of a mineral. Jasper is usually associated with brown, yellow, or reddish colors, but may be used to describe other opaque colors of Chalcedony such as dark or mottled green and orange. Some forms of Jasper are banded, and these banded Jaspers may appear similar to Agate, but unlike Agate they are opaque. When Jasper is dull and lacking interesting colors or patterns, it is not Jasper but rather Chert. For additional information, see the gemstone section on Jasper. Chemical Formula Si O 2Composition Silicon dioxide, usually with impurities of iron oxides or organic substances. Color Brown, yellow, orange, red, green, or blue.

Lake Superior could contain all the other Great Lakes plus three more lakes the size of Lake Erie. Water flows into the lake from many small rivers and streams. The Long Lac and Ogoki diversions in Canada channel water into Lake Superior that would otherwise flow into Hudson Bay. By order of the International Joint Commission, the lake's level, controlled by gates on the St. Marys River at Sault Ste. Marie, may not exceed 602 ft (183 m) above sea level. Each year a small percentage of the lake's water flows out through the St. Marys River, and it takes almost two centuries for the water to be completely replaced (retention time). The Lake Superior drainage basin is rich in natural resources and scenic beauty. It is sparsely populated and economically dependent on its natural resources, which include metals, minerals, forests and recreation/tourism opportunities such as national lakeshores and national/state/provincial parks. It is particularly known for its clear, cold water and agate beaches."

Much of this shoreline has been incorporated into the Olympic national park, including the three miles of Rialto beach. Easy to walk, this wilderness beach is open to exploring, with views out to the forested James Island. North of the picnic area, Ellen Creek tumbles into the sea, and further on lies Split Rock, a massive sea stack with two pinnacles, the tops of which are crowned with dwarfed trees. Beyond that, you can explore Hole-in-the-Wall, a cavern-like sea arch carved out by the surf. • nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/visiting-mora-and-rialto.htm Kalaloch, Olympic national park Photograph: Alamy Further south, Kalaloch is the most popular of the Olympic peninsula beaches. Two nearby campgrounds, as well as the Kalaloch Lodge, make this an ideal national park beach for families, and a destination in itself. This is a wide, sandy beach hemmed in by a classic coastal forest, with Kalaloch Rocks, a series of sea stacks, just offshore. Piles of massive driftwood have been shoved up by the tides against the forested slopes."

Most of the beaches we profile here were introduced to us by Sparky Stensaas's book Rock Picker's Guide to Lake Superior's North Shore (see ordering info near the bottom of this page). But some we discovered on our own and some of the beaches referenced in Sparky's manual, we've omitted because on our visit, we weren't impressed with the variety of available rocks. But beaches are constantly changing so we may have caught them on a bad day. Burlington Bay, Two Harbors Located on the north edge of town, adjacent to the municipal campground. Reputed to yeild agates, there is also good population of attractive polishing rocks. Beaver River Bay, Beaver Bay Access is just north of crossing the Beaver River. There are a few parking spots on the roadside shoulder. Otherwise, use the parking lot on the other side of the street just before you cross the river.

Geodes are essentially rock cavities or vugs with internal crystal formations or concentric banding. The exterior of the most common geodes is generally limestone or a related rock, while the interior contains quartz crystals and/or chalcedony deposits. Other geodes are completely filled with crystal, being solid all the way through. These types of geodes are called nodules.

"text": "\"Gemstone Meanings Over the centuries, various cultures have contributed to the legend and lore surrounding gemstones. These rare products of nature have inspired philosophers and mystics to attribute unusual powers to these special minerals. Ruby - For Good Luck and Good Health The best compendium of gemstone lore is undoubtedly that found in George Frederick Kunz's book The Curious Lore of Precious Stones, which was published in 1913. But Kunz was no mystic crystal-gazer. Rather he was the leading gemologist of his time and in his role as the resident gem expert at Tiffany & Co. in New York, he helped to shape the modern market for colored stones. He was also instrumental in putting together some of the greatest collections of rare gemstones, including the famous J. P. Morgan-Tiffany collection, which is now displayed at the American Museum of Natural History. Kunz believed that we can learn a great deal by studying the ways in which medicinal gemstones were used by different cultures, and the beliefs that people at different times formed about rare gems. For Kunz this study wasn't just sociological curiosity, it was a way of learning about gemstones themselves: \"\"Many of these ideas may seem strange enough to us now, and yet when we analyze them we find that they have their roots either in some intrinsic quality of the stones or else in an instinctive appreciation of their symbolic significance\"\". The following are a series of beliefs that have been attributed to various types of gemstones over the years. Actinolite Cat's Eye Actinolite is popular for its metaphysical abilities."

One of the primary uses has been to reduce discomfort in both mother and child during pregnancy. It is also said to be useful for reducing headaches, dizziness, and even impaired balance. A key stipulation however is that the stone must be in physical contact with the skin around the area suffering from the affliction. For example, to combat feverish infections it is important to place the stone on the heart or the throat chakra. This works for any variety of infections or simple inflammation, such as contact with weary or tired eyes. Magical properties It is said that agate possesses many mystical powers."

The word crystal is a loan from the ancient Greek word (krustallos), which had the same meaning, but according to the ancient understanding of crystal. At root it means anything congealed by freezing, such as ice. The word once referred particularly to quartz, or \"\"rock crystal\"\". Most metals encountered in everyday life are polycrystals. Crystals are often symmetrically intergrown to form crystal twins. Gemstones -- A gemstone or gem, also called a precious or semi-precious stone, is a piece of attractive mineral, which - when cut and polished - is used to make jewelry or other adornments. However certain rocks, (such as lapis-lazuli) and organic materials (such as amber or jet) are not minerals, but are still used for jewelry and gemstone rings, and are therefore often considered to be gemstones as well. Most gemstones are hard, but some soft minerals are used in jewelry because of their lustre or other physical properties that have aesthetic value.

Agate is a variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. It is clear to milky white, with dendritic inclusions of manganese or iron that has grown into patterns similar to moss or lichen. Spots of red may occur in some specimens, and occasionally the crystal is dark green with bluish inclusions. Throughout history and all cultures, Moss Agate has been known as the crystal of gardeners and agriculture. It was considered a miraculous healing stone for tribal priests of the past, giving them power to interact with our human organic system, and was used as a talisman to make warriors strong and victorious. [ Mella, 69]Metaphysically, Agate has a lower intensity and vibrates to a slower frequency than other stones, but is highly regarded as a stabilizing and strengthening influence. [ Simmons, 6] Agate is excellent for balancing emotional, physical and intellectual energy, and in harmonizing Yin and Yang, the positive and negative forces of the universe. [ Hall, 39]Moss Agate Uses and Purposes - Overview As a stone of abundance, Moss Agate is known for its benefits in agricultural pursuits and has been successful in promoting the growth of new crops.

But the artificial stuff isn't necessarily better for you. For starters, many of the sugar substitutes found in diet foods and beverages are jam-packed with chemicals, which can put a strain on your immune system. \"\" When we ingest these chemicals, our bodies need to work extra hard to metabolize them, leaving less resources to detoxify our bodies from the many chemicals we get exposed to in the environment,\"\" says Dr. Jeffrey Morrison, physician and nutrition adviser for Equinox.

The right supplements can certainly help, but unfortunately, Candida albicans and other species of Candida (there are over 20 of them) will bounce back if you do not follow the most effective and necessary change – radically changing your diet. Usually, the most effective protocol begins with a strict adherence to a sugar-free, grain-free, GMO-free, and processed food free diet. Over time, as the body restores balance, your immune system will be able to hold Candida in check, and more flexibility in your diet can follow. But during the first few weeks of a Candida detox diet, many foods that are normally very good for you should be avoided. The protocol for moderate-to-severe Candida overgrowth is far more restrictive than mild Candida overgrowth. Perhaps you didn’t know all of the following foods feed Candida. Fruit Fruits are high in natural sugars. This is by design after all fruit is nature’s candy. However, it’s important to note that sugar, any kind of sugar, feeds yeast, and Candida is a type of yeast."

If you blindfolded me and put some xylitol on my tongue, I wouldn’t know that it isn’t sugar. In contrast, if you were to give me stevia blindfolded, I would know right away because I am sensitive to the bitter aftertaste. Here is a review of the three natural sweeteners we use the most as an alternative to white sugar. What is Xylitol?

A search on this white icing sugar-looking powder in the World Wide Web led me to ask some questions about this sweetener. Many seem to think that it's a honey varietal from the flowers of cactus that's been processed into powder form for the convenience of use -- 'just scoop and mix it into your coffee and tea like you would use sugar or creamer'. This honey powder is not sold here in Singapore, but many suppliers of honey products in the World Wide Web seem to be carrying this product. Claimed to be all natural, this honey powder is marketed as all natural, healthy to eat, and an excellent sugar replacement suitable for the diabetic. And it's positioned as a brilliant ingredient for baking or drizzled on cereals, pancakes and waffles. However, I had all these questions in my mind: How can it be a product from the bees when even the lightest-coloured honey cannot be colourless or white? And even if it is really honey, what's the process involved in making honey liquid into powder form? Won't any health benefits be compromised as a result of processing?

There are three main ingredients in a margarita: Tequila, Triple Sec, and lime juice. The traditional recipe is 3:2:1 – three parts Tequila, two parts Triple Sec and one part lime juice; however, the IBA standard is 7:4:3 = (50% tequila, 29% Triple Sec, 21% fresh lime or lemon juice), which keeps 50% tequila, but uses slightly less Triple Sec and correspondingly slightly more lime juice. Other orange flavored liqueurs are frequently substituted for Triple Sec; Cointreau is most common, but there are many alternatives. The rim of the glass is often, but not always, salted. Traditional tequilas are dry, and served without ice; however, one may prepare sweet tequilas, often with other fruit juices such as pineapple, or serve over ice, or even blended. These sweet and iced variants are looked down upon by traditionalists, and despised as “party drinks”, but frequently served at parties.

[ 1] The issue is that tequila is the focus of the drink, and conversely the margarita is the most common tequila cocktail. Blanco is most assertive, and the purest expression of agave, while reposado is gentler and with somewhat less agave and a little wood (from oak); añejo has less agave taste and makes a very gentle margarita.100% agave is recommended, as it is the focus; mixto (less than 100% agave) is significantly cheaper, but of inferior quality."

"text": "\"The Truth about Agave Syrup: Not as Healthy as You May Thinkby John Kohler A relatively recent trend in raw food preparation is the use of agave syrup (also called agave nectar) as sweetener is called for in raw recipes. I am often asked about my views on this sweetener. When I first switched to a raw food diet in 1995, agave syrup was unknown and was NOT USED IN RAW FOODS! I first learned about agave syrup back in 1999 or 2000 at a trade show for the health food industry, which I attend regularly to keep up with the latest in the health and nutrition field. I asked several questions, got some samples, and inquired on how the company processed the agave syrup. At that time, I learned that it was processed at roughly 140 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit 11, so I certainly didn’t consider it a raw food by any means. Just like agave, some people consider maple syrup a raw food, but all maple syrup is heat-treated and is therefore not raw at all. Unfortunately, there are no “raw labeling laws.” Anyone, anywhere, at any time can put “RAW” on their label and to them it can be supposedly raw since it is made from a “raw” material or simply not roasted. Just because it says “RAW” doesn’t necessarily mean that it was processed at a temperature under 118 degrees and still has all its enzymes, nutrients, and “life force” intact."

And while you might know all about the dreaded aftermath of overindulging on this spirit (hi, May 6), you may not know about the many health benefits this drink, and the plant it comes from, has to offer: A Relaxing Nightcap Shooting back multiple shots of any liquor is bound to leave you passed out on the floor, but having a small glass of tequila before bed can provide the same effect without the morning regret. Try sipping 1 to 1.5 ounces before bed, not only can it help you relax and fall asleep faster, it may also help you sleep more soundly. Reduces Blood Sugar A sweetener created from the agave plant – the same plant that gives us tequila – could be used as an alternative sweetening agent in the near future according to scientists. Researchers found that agavins (not to be confused with agave syrup), helped reduce food intake, aided with weight loss and caused a decrease in blood glucose levels when tested in mice. So while agavin is not yet available on store shelves, in the near future you might find yourself blending up a margarita with a splash of agavin instead of a sugary pre-made mix. Drug-Carrier The acid in your stomach destroys many drugs before they even have the chance to be absorbed into your body, making drug delivery to the colon particularly challenging to physicians. A break-through came when chemists at the University of Guadalajara in Mexico identified compounds derived from the blue agave that could provide a natural, more effective way to deliver drugs to the colon. This discovery could result in improved treatments for patients who suffer from IBS, Crohn’s disease, colitis and even cancer!Cures the Common Cold We’ve all heard that it’s important to drink “plenty of fluids” when you’re feeling under the weather. While most people would think to drink orange juice or tea, if you were living in Mexico during the 1930s, you might have found your doctor mixing up the following creation as a cold remedy :.5 oz tequila blanco.5 oz agave nectar (reduces intestinal bacteria and relieves a sore throat).5 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (high in Vitamin C)So this Cinco de Mayo drink-up (responsibly) for your health – doctor’s orders!Categories : Health & Wellness | Tags: alcohol, cold, health benefits, tequila"

Photo Credit: Allyson Kramer Agave syrup is a common ingredient often found in vegan cooking, baking, and candy making. Agave syrup is also referred to as agave “nectar”, yet both terms define the sweet syrup that comes from the agave plant. Agave makes a great honey substitute for vegans, boasting a similar sweetness with a slightly thinner texture than honey. It makes a fabulous addition to your vegan pantry, as it has multiple applications. Agave nectar, or syrup, is obtained from the extracted juice of agave plant leaves. The syrup usually comes from the sap of the agave tequilana plant or agave salmiana plant. Raw agave, which hasn’t been heated to temperatures above 117 ºF is a common ingredient in \"\"raw vegan\"\" recipes. It is considered by some people to be a healthier choice than refined white sugar, as it has a lower glycemic index than refined sugar."

The end product is a processed syrup, instead of a minimally processed sweetener. Agave syrup is made up of two carbohydrate molecules: glucose and fructose. These are the same molecules that make up sucrose (or table sugar), but in a different ratio. Table sugar is about half glucose and half fructose, while agave is closer to 70% fructose and 30% glucose, depending on the brand. Fructose is commonly referred to as \"\"fruit sugar,\"\" because fructose is found in fruit and other plant foods. When we think of it as fruit sugar, fructose seems benign."

"text": "Good Questions: What’s Your Take on Agave Nectar? This post contains affiliate links and links to sponsors. Q: What’s your take on agave nectar? – Joe N. As many of you remember, last week, I responded to reader questions about stevia. As a result, this week, I received several questions about other sweeteners popular in the natural foods community, among them agave nectar (erythritol and xylitol, you’re next). How Agave Nectar is Made When many of us think of agave nectar, we think of it as an uber-natural, traditional sweetener that’s been used for hundreds of years. And while the sap from the agave plant has been used for hundreds of years, that’s not quite what you’re buying in the gleaming plastic bottles at your local natural foods co-op. Traditionally, indigenous peoples gathered the sap from the agave plant and boiled it down to form a thick syrup. This process is similar to the process native American tribes of the northeast used to turn the sap from sugar maples into maple syrup. Keep in mind that that’s not what you’re typically purchasing when you buy agave nectar."

Plants That Look Like Large Asparagus How to Germinate Agaves Succulent agaves (Agave spp. ), also called century plants, have water-storing leaves growing from a central point to form a basal rosette. The leaves can be spiny or smooth, with sharp tips. About 200 kinds of agave exist, coming from the southern and western United States south into Mexico, Central America and northern South America. They can take a long time to flower, sending up a flower stalk in one growing season, before they die. Agaves vary in leaf color, in type of flower stalk, in the size of the basal rosette and in whether they are solitary or produce offsets. Types of Flower Stalks Flower stalks are either branching, known as paniculate, or spiky, called spicate. Century plant (Agave americana) is a large plant native to Mexico that produces a treelike 15- to 30-foot-tall flower stalk after 10 or more years of growth. It requires 8 to 12 feet of growing area."

Knowing more about what's going on in this industry will give consumers a better chance of selecting the natural products that suit their diet and nutritional needs. What Is Agave? Agave is a desert plant filled with a liquid that can be harvested and used as a sweetener. This product, commonly called agave nectar or syrup, can be used in many different food and drink preparations. Wholesalers now sell it to restaurant kitchens as well as individual households through retail in supermarkets. What Is Raw Agave Syrup? Agave syrup that is not processed, but sold directly as a plant extract, is referred to as raw agave syrup. These kinds of products are often popular in a \"\"raw community\"\" where individuals known as \"\"raw food eaters\"\" restrict their diet to items that are not industrially processed or even heated above a certain temperature. Raw food eaters generally refer to a variety of vitamins and nutrients that, according to nutritional experts, are most often eliminated from foods in regular processing."

The In The Raw company has a line of all-natural sweeteners, including Agave In The Raw, which is a delicious, naturally occurring liquid sweetener much like honey or maple syrup, that is extracted from the Blue Agave plant native to Mexico. Agave Nectar is 25% sweeter than refined white sugar, so a little bit goes a long way. It is naturally a low glycemic food, which means it doesn't cause the rapid spikes in blood sugar levels like refined white sugar and many other sweeteners do. The Glycemic Index (GI) provides information about how certain foods affect blood sugar and insulin. The lower a food's GI number, the more slowly it impacts blood sugar. Agave In The Raw has a GI of 30, a much lower impact on blood sugar compared to table sugar, which has a GI of around 65. Please be advised however, that agave nectar is still a caloric sweetener, providing 4 grams carbohydrate per teaspoon, so it should be treated similar to sugar when tracking carbohydrates. Benefits Of Agave In The Raw Agave In The Raw is USDA certified ORGANIC by Quality Assurance International. One tablespoon of Agave In The Raw contains 60 calories, and remember a little bit goes a long way, so you should find you need less of it than other sweeteners to get the same desired sweetness."

Share 2K Pin 2K Stumble 20 Tweet 5 Yum There’s a lot of confusion out there about the different kinds of sweeteners available today, how to use them, and whether they are healthy and safe to use. Here is everything you ever wanted to know about sugar, plus the lowdown on 25 different types of sweeteners on the market today. Caveat Emptor How did we ever get to a place where there are so many types of sweeteners on the market that there might be genuine confusion? Just 100 years ago, there was only cane sugar, sorghum, honey and maple syrup, and Americans each ate less than two pounds a year of them, total. But today, whether from soda, snacks, cereal, pasta, bread or other packaged foods, Americans each eat the equivalent of 22 teaspoonsof sugar a day (teens get 34! ), adding up to over 70 pounds of sugar per person, per year. And in just 32 ounces of soda, you (or your teen) can easily consume at least a quarter pound of sugar a day!According to Rachel K. Johnson, lead author of a paper published in the American Heart Association (AHA) journal Circulation, too much sugar not only makes Americans fat, but also is a key culprit in diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. The typical American high-sugar diet is also a major factor in the development of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease too. Sugar raises blood glucose, triggers abnormal insulin surges, and makes us hungry and fat."

Although this is a wonderful option, there are some people who need an alternative to honey. You may not have honey available in your home, it might be too expensive, you could be allergic, or you simply just want to try something new. Whatever the reason, it is nice to know about the many substitutes for honey that exist. Some honey substitutes include maple syrup, molasses, light/dark corn syrup, rice syrup, barley malt syrup, and agave nectar. Maple Syrup Maple syrup is a natural sweetener that is collected from maple trees. This syrup is low in fructose, which makes it a healthier option as a sweetener. It also is a great source of zinc and manganese, a nutrient that promotes strong bones and maintains normal blood sugar levels. There are many versions of maple syrup imitations that are sold in many supermarkets. These imitations do not cost as much as real maple syrup, but they do typically contain high fructose corn syrup, which has been known to contribute to a variety of health problems."

Overview First-time visitors to Sonoran Desert Network parks are often surprised by the tremendous natural variation between, as well as within, each park. However, the very diversity of species, lifeforms, and landscapes is one of the common threads that unifies SODN parks. The Sonoran Desert is thought to have the greatest species diversity of any desert in North America, and that diversity occurs over relatively fine spatial scales. The Sonoran Desert is home to at least 60 species of mammals, more than 350 bird species, 20 amphibians, some 100 reptiles, and about 30 species of native fish. More than 2,000 species of plants have been identified in the Sonoran Desert, and each of the three physiological groupings of vascular plants (C3, C4, and CAM photosynthetic pathways) dominate one or more major biotic communities. More striking than species diversity is the tremendous variability in Sonoran Desert lifeforms, from columnar cacti to conifers, Gila monsters to pygmy owls, cyanobacterial soil crusts to native ferns. Landscape diversity in the Sonoran Desert rivals that of any other terrestrial ecoregion on Earth, with nearly all of the planet's biomes represented, ranging from cold conifer forests to hot deserts, where frost is nearly absent and precipitation rare. This tremendous species, lifeform, and landscape biodiversity is the result of a host of factors: the subtropical climate, continental physiography, bimodal precipitation, varied geology, and wide-ranging topography."

Although a desert might be conceptualized as an island of aridity surrounded by better watered lands, deserts—unlike real islands—do not have distinct boundaries for all to see. As a result, different concepts have arisen through time as to what defines the Chihuahuan Desert and its boundaries. The delineation used for the site logo is that of Schmidt (1979), based on the de Martonne Index of Aridity ( de Martonne 1927). Some different concepts that have appeared in the literature are shown in the Many Chihuahuan Deserts pages. There also is available a general discussion of factors involved in defining deserts and the Chihuahuan Desert in particular. One more caveat regarding the Chihuahuan Desert: This site covers the Chihuahuan Desert Region, including not only the desert itself, but also the highland \"\"islands\"\" surrounded by desert and, to a degree, bordering montane areas that are isolated by surrounding, non-forested lowlands. In Mexico, the Chihuahuan Desert lies within the Central Plateau, bounded on the west by the Sierra Madre Occidental and on the east by the Sierra Madre Oriental, with its southern boundary in Zacatecas.

Beavertail Cactus When listing desert plants, the prickly cactus is a type of plant most commonly associated with the desert. There are more than 2,000 different types of cactus. Some might be considered unappealing, and even ugly in appearance, while others produce vividly colored flowers.

Ocotillo The ocotillo has a short trunk from which spiny limbs grow upward, creating a V-like shape that can reach 20-feet in height.

There is some evidence that they were passing from the north to the south, following large game such as mastodons and mammoths. Later, simple settlements began to emerge on lakeshores and along rivers. In the neighboring state of Michoacan, the archaeological site of El Opeño has yielded ceramic figures that are 3,500 years old, and similar artifacts have been discovered in Jalisco. Did You Know? Jalisco gave birth to Mariachi music, charreadas (Mexican rodeos), the Mexican Hat Dance, tequila and the wide-brimmed sombrero. The earliest pre-Hispanic city in Jalisco is Ixtépete, whose structures include tombs and pyramid platforms. This city reached its zenith between the 7th and 10th centuries A. D.; the reasons for its decline are unknown. From the 10th to the 16th centuries, many nomadic tribes hunted game in Jalisco’s central valley.

It lies between the Mohave Desert to the north and west and the Chihuahuan Desert to the south and east. It is bounded by the Mogollon Rim on the northeast, the Chiricahua and Pinaleño Mountains in the east, and the Sierra Madre Occidental in the southeast. The geographical boundaries reach from the southeastern part of southern California, across the western two thirds of southern Arizona, into northwest Sonora, Mexico, and the eastern shore of the Baja California peninsula, including the islands of the Sea of Cortez. The elevation of the Sonoran Desert ranges from approximately 200 feet to nearly 4,000 feet above sea level. Biomes, or major ecological community types, do not have strictly defined borders. Rather they have transition zones from one biome to another, called ecotones. These ecotones contain animal and plant diversity from adjacent ecological communities. Several national parks lie in the ecotone between the Sonoran Desert and higher elevation grassland and woodland communities including Tuzigoot National Monument, Tumacácori National Historic Park and Montezuma Castle National Monument. Climate One characteristic that differentiates the Sonoran from other North American deserts is the presence of leguminous trees and large columnar cacti, which results from bimodal rainfall."

Some hold back for years and even centuries before blossoming, which makes seeing the event a once-in-a-lifetime experience.10 Sheep-Eating Plant This plant isn’t called the sheep eater for nothing—it’s actually an animal killer! It produces monstrous, three-meter (9.8 ft) shoots with mace-like flowers that ensnare sheep and other animals. The animals get caught in the spikes and eventually die of starvation or exposure. Some believe the sheep eater (technically known as Puya chilensis) developed this habit in order to use the rotting corpses for nutrients. And if you’re thinking this plant would be a great way to keep dogs off your lawn, you may want to reconsider, as it’s difficult to grow and takes 15 to 20 years to flower.9 Madagascar Palm The Madagascar palm ( Tahina spectabilis) grows to enormous proportions, dies after fruiting, and flowers only once— after 100 years. What makes this tree especially unique is it was only discovered in 2008. Before then, it apparently flowered so rarely, nobody noticed it was different from the other palms. The tree has surprisingly similar characteristics to palms found in Asia (around 6,000 kilometers—3,700 miles—away), which leads some scientists to believe the palms have existed on Madagascar since it detached from India 80 million years ago. While thousands of seeds were collected after discovering the tree, and a handful of those were sent to botanical gardens, there are fewer than 100 Madagascar palms in existence.8 Night-Blooming Cereus Compared to the other plants on this list, the night-blooming cereus ( Selenicereus grandiflorus) is practically speedy in its habit of flowering after a single year of growth."

Holly Holly Source People often think of hollies as shrubs, but that only applies to certain cultivars. The American holly that grows wild throughout the eastern U. S. can reach 50 feet or more and is commonly used as a specimen tree or a tall hedge in home landscapes. The thorns are on the leaves of these trees, making them very difficult to pass through when planted as a dense hedge. They are evergreen, known for their red berries in winter and are one of the few plants of this size that is fully shade tolerant. Hollies will tolerate full sun, however, but they do best in places with acidic soil. It is usually necessary to plant more than one in order to get fruit.

When the stick is upended, the pebbles fall to the other end of the tube, making a sound reminiscent of rain falling. The rainstick is believed to have been invented by the Mapuches and was played in the belief it could bring about rainstorms. It was also found on the Chilean coasts, though it is not certain if it was made by the Incas. Rainsticks are usually made from any of several species of cactus. The cacti, which are hollow, are dried in the sun. The spines are removed, then driven into the cactus like nails."

"text": "Related Articles How to Cut Back Cacti How to Trim Column Cactus How to Transplant Cactus Pieces Cacti Turning Brown and Brittle Most cactus varieties require minimal care to thrive inside the home or out in the garden. Occasional trims can keep the plants looking their best and minimize disease, since you remove weak sections. Cactus plants don't require frequent pruning and many can go five years or more without a trim. Trim the plants only if they start to become too large or if there are many weak or damaged leaf sections. Trimming Tools All cactus varieties have spines, although some are sharper and more likely to inflict injury than others. Wearing heavy leather gloves when trimming the cactus minimizes injury risk. Long sleeves can also prevent scratches, especially when trimming larger cactus varieties with many small spines, such as nopales. A sharp, clean knife cuts easily through cactus leave and won't crush them like shears can. A handsaw is sometimes necessary for large cactus plants. Small handheld shears work best for trimming cactus roots when transplanting or repotting a plant."

"text": "\"NPS.gov Explore This Network About Us Sonoran Desert Ecosystems Sonoran Desert Network Ecosystems Sonoyta mud turtle. George Andrejko, AZ Game and Fish Dept. Overview First-time visitors to Sonoran Desert Network parks are often surprised by the tremendous natural variation between, as well as within, each park. However, the very diversity of species, lifeforms, and landscapes is one of the common threads that unifies SODN parks. The Sonoran Desert is thought to have the greatest species diversity of any desert in North America, and that diversity occurs over relatively fine spatial scales. The Sonoran Desert is home to at least 60 species of mammals, more than 350 bird species, 20 amphibians, some 100 reptiles, and about 30 species of native fish. More than 2,000 species of plants have been identified in the Sonoran Desert, and each of the three physiological groupings of vascular plants (C3, C4, and CAM photosynthetic pathways) dominate one or more major biotic communities. More striking than species diversity is the tremendous variability in Sonoran Desert lifeforms, from columnar cacti to conifers, Gila monsters to pygmy owls, cyanobacterial soil crusts to native ferns. Landscape diversity in the Sonoran Desert rivals that of any other terrestrial ecoregion on Earth, with nearly all of the planet's biomes represented, ranging from cold conifer forests to hot deserts, where frost is nearly absent and precipitation rare. This tremendous species, lifeform, and landscape biodiversity is the result of a host of factors: the subtropical climate, continental physiography, bimodal precipitation, varied geology, and wide-ranging topography."

"text": "Plant Ecology of the Sonoran Desert Region Mark A. Dimmitt You could easily recognize a desert even if you were blind- folded. You would discover that you could walk fairly long distances without bumping into plants, and when you did the encounter would likely be painful. Even standing still you would have unmistakable clues about your location. You�d feel the arid atmosphere pulling moisture out of your body and experience a sensation of pressure on your skin from the intense sunlight. On really hot, dry days you could smell pungent, aromatic terpenes and oils exuded by the parched vegetation. With the blindfold removed, you would see that most desert plants also look different from those in other habitats�they are often spiny, almost always tiny-leafed, and rarely �leaf green. � Many have bold, sculptural growth forms characterized by swollen stems or starkly exposed stems unconcealed by foliage. At the other extreme is a unique desert growth form that landscape architect Iain Robertson calls �diaphanous plants. � The stems and foliage of these plants are so fine-textured and sparse that the eye tends to look right through them. These tactile, olfactory, and visual experiences offer clues to desert plants� adaptations to their rigorous environment."

"text": "05/24/2013 at 11:30 AMYou Wanted to Know: Sweetenersby Mehmet Oz, MDTweet Trying to cut calories? Or control your blood sugar? Try this: Cut back on your daily sources of sugar. This requires limiting your intake of sugary foods and drinks (like soda, desserts or cereals) and using alternatives to using refined, processed sugars in your coffee or tea. However, many of us may not realize that common artificial sweeteners like aspartame (found in Nutra Sweet or Equal), saccharin (found in Sweet’N Low) or sucralose (found in Splenda) can actually cause weight gain. They’re also linked to diabetes and some forms of cancers – including cancers of the colon, kidney, and esophagus. On Twitter, @Jennay C asked what we can do to satisfy our sweet tooth: Well, Jennifer, there are many healthy options out there. One sweetener I like to use is agave nectar. It’s actually a distilled sweetener that comes from the blue agave cactus. Because agave has a low glycemic index, it won’t raise your blood sugar as quickly as pure sugar."

"text": "Medium: $100-$350 High: $210-$1,000E-mail Post Tweet Comments (30)When a roof begins to leak, it may need to be replaced. However, on an otherwise sturdy roof, a repair of a small area may be all that is needed. Typical costs: Repairing a 10x10-foot square of asphalt shingles, considered one square of roofing, runs $100-$350 using a roofing company. Repairing a few missing or broken asphalt shingles through a handyman service runs $95-$127. Reparing wooden shingles using a roofing company for a 10x10-foot square costs $210-$1,000. Repairing a couple of broken or missing shingles using a handyman can run $135-$175. Homeowners can take care of individual broken or torn asphalt or wooden shingles, according to Better Homes and Gardens. Related articles: Gutters, Gutter Cleaning What should be included: Roof repair jobs should include the installation of new shingles, sealing with a roof cement product and cleanup of any old shingles and debris. Additional costs: Flashing is the metal or vinyl stripping that acts either as a sealed barrier between the roofing material and chimneys or skylights, or when the roof slopes into a valley where the flashing material helps water run off into a gutter system. When the vinyl or metal flashing that seals the edge of a skylight to the roofing material tears or is pulled away from the skylight, a leak will appear and costs $300-$500 to repair."

"text": "\"Politics & Government Other - Politics & Government What year were zip codes introduced?5 following 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: ZIP Code is the postal code used by the United States Postal Service, which always writes ZIP with capital letters. ZIP is an acronym for the Zone Improvement Plan, but was also meant to suggest that mail travels more efficiently (and therefore faster) when senders use it. The basic ZIP Code format consists of five numerical digits. An extended ZIP+4 code includes the five digits of the ZIP Code plus four more digits which allow a piece of mail to be even more accurately directed to a very small geography. ZIP Code was originally registered as a trademark by the U. S. Postal Service, but its registration has since expired. The term \"\"ZIP Code\"\" is also used in the Philippines to name its postal codes. The Philippine ZIP Code is used by the Philippine Postal Corporation. Unlike American ZIP Codes, Philippine ZIP Codes are four-digit numbers without any extensions. While the cities of Metro Manila use more than one code, towns and cities outside Metro Manila are assigned only one code for every town and city. The postal service implemented postal zones for large cities in 1943."

"text": "\"REV. THOMAS HOOKER July 5, 1586 – July 7, 1647Thomas Hooker was probably the pre-eminent founder of the Colony of Connecticut. He was born in Marefield, Leicestershire, England. After his religious conversion, he rose into the leadership of the Puritan movement in England due to his keenly reasoned reflections upon Christian life and the meanings of Biblical passages. An excellent discussion of Thomas Hooker's life was written by Benjamin Hart, published by the Christian Defense Fund as Lesson Seven, with the title \"\"Thomas Hooker Tries Democracy\"\". The following is a brief paragraph that I found extremely interesting: Hooker was the most famous of all the English preachers to make the journey to New England. He was a learned scholar, widely published, and his preaching had electrified the English countryside, winning converts by the thousands. As Perry Miller recounts in his book (Errand Into the Wilderness), Samuel Collins, an agent of Archbishop Laud, warned in 1629 that Hooker had become too powerful, and threatened to undermine the established church:\"\"I . . . have seen the people idolizing many new ministers and lecturers; but this man surpasses them all for learning. . . [ and] gains more and far greater followers than all before him. \"\""

Knofel was well known as “Awful Knofel” (“awful” rhyming with “Knofel”) so Knievel began to be referred to as Evel Knievel (“Evel” rhyming with “Knievel”). He chose this misspelling because of his last name and because he didn’t want to be considered “evil”. And thus the legend was born…“THE PEOPLE DON’T COME TO SEE ME DIE. THEY COME TO SEE ME DEFY DEATH.”Death-defying feats have fascinated mankind for centuries. From sword swallowers to human cannonballs, the daredevils of history have risked life and limb to draw a crowd. Few performers gained lasting fame. But in the 1970’s a motorcycle-jumping stuntman from Butte, Montana vaulted this tradition from its sideshow origins to unthinkable heights of popularity and influence."

At the 2010 census, it had a population of 7,764. [ 1] Currently the town has no manufacturing industry and no industrially-zoned land. Its location on the North Shore of Massachusetts provides easy access to the Atlantic seashore with its reservations, beaches and boating. The town includes many historic houses, pastoral landscapes, and old stone walls that accompany winding tree-lined roads. It also has a rich equestrian heritage, which remains strong due to the influence of the many horse farms and of Myopia Hunt Club, which holds frequent equestrian events, including polo most Sunday afternoons. ( Myopia also hosts a Thanksgiving Day fox hunt each year that the public may attend. [ 2]) Thus, people visiting Hamilton may well share the secondary roads with horse and pony riders. Hamilton-Wenham Public Library Hamilton is closely tied to neighboring Wenham, sharing a school system, library, recreation department, commuter rail station and newspaper."

The area that became known as West Springfield was settled in 1635. The settlers fled to higher ground on the east side of the river and founded Springfield in the aftermath of the great hurricane of 1635. West Springfield was good farm land, so some families did stay on the west side. Early transportation problems [ edit]Other than the trade in beaver skins, economic activity in early colonial Springfield consisted largely of subsistence farming and animal husbandry, with barter being the preferred medium of exchange for neighbors' crops, and locally produced goods. Gristmills and saw mills were also present in the early settlement. [ 5]Because the Connecticut River was too wide to be bridged at the time, crossings had to be made by boat."

The water from the dam flows through a penstock to a power generation plant in the adjacent town of Readsboro. The dam was built in 1923 by the New England Power Company. [ 1] Some 215 feet high and 1250 feet long as its crest, it's one of the ten hydroelectric dams impounding the Deerfield River. [ 2] Owned and operated by Trans Canada Corporation, the facility is an earthen dam with a relatively unusual concrete \"\"morning glory\"\" (freestanding conical drain) spillway, similar to another example at Monticello Dam in California. Harriman Reservoir The reservoir it creates, Harriman Reservoir, has a water surface area of 2039 acres, a maximum depth of 180 feet, and has a gross storage capacity of 117,300 acre-feet. [ 2]The name comes from utility executive Henry I. Harriman, president of the New England Power Company.

The name stems from one of the titles of King George II of Great Britain, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. [ 1] During King George's War, natives raided the village and took settlers captive to Quebec. [ 2] Areas of neighboring Fitchburg were once part of Lunenburg, but broke away around this time because the walking distance to church and town meetings was too great for many. Closed in 2000, Whalom Park on Whalom Lake was a famous amusement park in Lunenburg. It closed with the rising popularity of Six Flags New England in Agawam."

"text": "The Ipswich Historical Society was founded in 1896 by the Reverend Thomas Franklin Waters, the author of Ipswich in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Volume I was published in 1905 and volume II in 1917. These two volumes are an encyclopedia of the history of the town. The Ipswich town meeting of 1964, in order to take advantage of possibly available state and federal funds, voted into existence an Historical Commission, an official town body which is responsible for the preservation of the town’s historic resources. The Town Historian is a member of the Historical Commission and created this website. In 2010, the Ipswich Historical Society was renamed the Ipswich Museum, featuring two significant properties, the Heard House built in 1800, and the Whipple House, dating to 1677. The following papers were presented by Thomas Franklin Waters and other members of the Ipswich Historical Society during the late 19th and early 20th Century. I Order of Exercises at the Ipswich Town Hall II The President’s Address and Other Proceedings at the Dedication of their Room, Friday Feb. 3, 1896III Exercises at the Unveiling of the Memorial Tablets at the South Common, Ipswich, July 29,V The Early Homes of the Puritans Some Old Ipswich Houses VI Dedication of the Ancient House VII A Sketch of the Life of John Winthrop the Younger VIII The Development of our Town Government IX The Old Argilla Road X The History of the (Whipple) House X The John Whipple House and the People Who Have Owned It XI The Meeting House Green, and a Study of the Houses and Lands in that Vicinity XII Thomas Dudley, and Simon and Ann Bradstreet XII A Study of the Original House Lots on High Street XIII Fine Thread, Lace and Hosiery by Jessie Fewkes XIII Ipswich Mills and Factories XIV The Simple Cobbler of Agawam, (by Rev.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Schematic of an AGC used in the analog telephone network; the feedback from output level to gain is effected via a Vactrol resistive opto-isolator. Automatic gain control ( AGC ), also called automatic volume control (AVC), is a closed-loop feedback regulating circuit, the purpose of which is to provide a controlled signal amplitude at its output, despite variation of the amplitude in the input signal. The average or peak output signal level is used to dynamically adjust the input-to-output gain to a suitable value, enabling the circuit to work satisfactorily with a greater range of input signal levels. It is used in most radio receivers to equalise the average volume ( loudness) of different radio stations due to differences in received signal strength, as well as variations in a single station's radio signal due to fading. Without AGC the sound emitted from an AM radio receiver would vary to an extreme extent from a weak to a strong signal; the AGC effectively reduces the volume if the signal is strong and raises it when it is weaker. AGC is derived from detector and given to RF and IF stages. Contents1 How it works2 Example use cases2.1 AM radio receivers2.2 Radar2.3 Audio/video2.4 Vogad2.5 Telephone recording2.6 Biological3 Recovery times4 See also5 References How it works [ edit]The signal to be gain controlled (the detector output in a radio) goes to a diode & capacitor, which produce a peak-following DC voltage. This is fed to the RF gain blocks to alter their bias, thus altering their gain. Traditionally all the gain-controlled stages came before the signal detection, but it is also possible to improve gain control by adding a gain-controlled stage after signal detection. Example use cases [ edit]AM radio receivers [ edit]In 1925, Harold Alden Wheeler invented automatic volume control (AVC) and obtained a patent."

"text": "How To Disable Skype’s Auto Gain and Echo Cancellation Controls March 26, 2012 By Ray Ortega 12 Comments Your version of Skype might be doing a couple things with your audio that you don’t want it to. Here’s how to fix it. To disable Skype’s auto gain control (AGC) for both Mac (5.6.0.143 and later) and PC versions, simply go into your Preferrences > Audio/Video and deselect the Automatic Microphone Control checkbox. Disabling Skype’s echo cancellation mode is not as simple but also not that hard. You’ll need to find Skype’s system file on your computer and insert a simple piece of HTML code. On a Mac browse to ~/Library/Application Support/Skype/shared.xml. You’ll need to open this file in an HTML editor that can read the xml format, I recommend Komodo Edit (for Windows, Mac, Linux) as a free, open source solution. Once you’ve opened the file in your HTML editor, scroll towards the bottom and simply insert the following code<EC>0</EC>This will disable Skype’s Echo Cancellation controls. If you are running a version of Skype that doesn’t have the checkbox to disable the AGC you can also insert the following code to disable that:<AGC>0</AGC>Here’s what the code should look like if you have both of these lines inserted Listen to Jason’s (the Creepercast podcast ) feedback about how disabling these controls helped his podcast.http://traffic.libsyn.com/thepodcastersstudio/Skype_and_music_beds.mp300:00 00:00Filed Under: Blog, Skype, Tutorials Tagged With: audio, auto, cancellation, control, disable, echo, gain, quality, skype"

"text": "\"Updated September 18, 2012 (added PDF of old Bussman fuse catalog)Here is my attempt to help people choose between various fuses that are offered and aid in identifying them by appearance: The MDQ (That is MDQ, not MDL) is a \"\"Dual-Element\"\" fuse - it has a coil spring connected to a lump of metal and from the other end of the metal a wire that goes to the other end cap, this will sustain over currents of 200% for a maximum of 120 seconds for all fuse values (no minimum time given), it will hold 100% forever, and 135% for 60 minutes maximum. ( MDQ - PDF)The MDL is a coil of wire wrapped around a core and it shares the same characteristics: 200% for a max of 120 seconds (min time from 3 to 5 seconds), 135% for max of 60 minutes and 100% forever, however for values between 1/16 through 3A @ 200% it will hold for a minimum of 5 seconds, and for values from 3-2/10 through 8A it will hold for a minimum of 12 seconds at 200%. ( MDL - PDF ) There is also a fuse series GDL by Ferraz-Shawmut that uses both styles of elements above (MDQ & MDL) depending on the current and voltage ratings ( GDL - PDF) Next there is a time delay fuse - ATE ( Ferraz-Shawmut) (might be the T (amperage)AL series as well) - that is a glass fuse with metal end caps and the fuse element is a wire with up to 3 blobs/dots of metal (solder? lead?) on it to enable the delay action. Its characteristics: 200% for a min of 2 seconds or a max of 120 seconds, 135% for max of 60 minutes and 100% only 4 hours. If the fuse has pigtail wires then it is the ATP-A (F-S). ( ATE - PDF)The charts on both the MDL & MDQ fuses show that for an MDL 1A fuse it will blow in 1 second @ 4.5A, a MDQ 1A fuse will blow in 1 second @ 6A. However for both fuse types a 6-1/4A fuse will blow in 1 second at about 40A and in 10 seconds @ 17.5A So the ATE, GDL. MDL, and MDQ are interchangable in our applications (jukeboxes/pinball games), with slight preference to the MDL fuse as it blows a bit faster in the lower values... Note also that Fast Blow fuses (AGC)will also hold forever @ 100%, 60 minutes max @ 135% and 200 seconds max @ 200%, however their surge charateristics are far shorter than the slo-blow/time delay fuse.

"text": "\"OFCCP Issues Regulations on Pay Transparency September 16, 2015On September 11, the U. S. Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued its Final Rule implementing Executive Order 13665, which prohibits federal contractors from discriminating against employees and applicants who ask about or discuss compensation. The regulations are effective January 11, 2016. Which contractors are covered? The pay transparency requirements will apply to all contractors and subcontractors covered by the non-discrimination and affirmative action provisions of Executive Order 11246, including contractors who are not required to develop written Affirmative Action Plans. Thus, an organization that meets the criteria will be covered if it:• Has a single federal contract, subcontract, or federally assisted construction contract worth more than $10,000, or• Has federal contracts or subcontracts that, combined, are worth more than $10,000 in any 12-month period, or• Has government bills of lading, or• Serves as a depository of federal funds, or• Is an issuing and paying agency for U. S. savings bonds and notes in any amount. The Final Rule will apply to contracts entered into or modified on or after January 11, 2016. Contracts are considered “modified” if there is any alteration in their terms and conditions, including supplemental agreements and extensions. What conduct is protected? Employees cannot be disciplined for asking about or discussing their own or other employees’ pay and benefits, and applicants cannot be discriminated against for asking about or discussing employees’ compensation. Specifically, the Equal Opportunity Clause is revised to include the following language:“The contractor will not discharge or in any manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant…”This non-discrimination provision does not apply if the employee has access to the employer’s compensation information as part of his or her job responsibilities."

Transport ensures everyday mobility of people and is crucial to the production and distribution of goods. Adequate infrastructure is a fundamental precondition for transport systems. In their endeavour to facilitate transport, however, decision-makers in governments and international organizations face difficult challenges. These include the existence of physical barriers or hindrances, such as insufficient or inadequate transport infrastructures, bottlenecks and missing links, as well as lack of funds to remove them. Solving these problems is not an easy task. It requires action on the part of the governments concerned, actions that are coordinated with other governments at international level. The UNECE Governments have long-standing experience and expertise in the development of coherent international transport networks in Europe. They have created four main transport network agreements aimed at the development of coherent networks for road, rail, inland water and combined transport respectively. The UNECE transport network agreements include: The European Agreement on Main International Traffic Arteries (AGR), done in 1975;The European Agreement on Main International Railway Lines (AGC), done in 1985;The European Agreement on Important International Combined Transport Lines and Related Installations (AGTC), done in 1991; and The European Agreement on Main Inland Waterways of International Importance (AGN), done in 1996.1."

Nowhere does it tell you what ALC is, or how you should use this ALC pin. I have looked for meanings of ALC online, and I have found 2 possible meanings that would fit this device: Automatic Level Control Audio Limiter Control There may be others... What is it? How should I connect it? is it an input, or an output? It's a major feature of this chip, and I guess it's assumed you know what it is as you chose the chip.preampshare improve this questionasked Sep 13 '11 at 15:31Majenko50.5k 6 81 156add a comment4 Answers active oldest votesup vote4down voteaccepted If you look at the datasheet, there is an example application circuit: Notice how the amplifier is used for amplifying for both recording and playback. The same tape head is also used for both functions. ALC (automatic level control) was an important function in tape recorders, as the signal had to be the right level, strong enough to overcome noise but not too high to cause saturation. A variable-gain amplifier is a bit tricky to do without distortion, so having it integrated into the preamplifier was a convenience for the system designer."

"text": "\"Medicare Part AMedicare Part A Explained By Joseph L. Matthews, Elderlaw Expert Medicare has four parts, and each one serves a different purpose. Medicare Part A is hospital insurance. Just about everyone age 65 and over is eligible for Medicare Part A, though some have to pay a monthly premium. But being eligible doesn't mean that Part A covers all hospital costs, and even after Part A does pay, participants are typically left with hefty out-of-pocket costs. Learning what Part A won't pay (known as Medicare \"\"gaps\"\") can help participants figure out what to expect and how best to protect themselves with other coverage -- through medigap supplemental insurance, a Part C managed care plan, Medicaid benefits, or other sources. Who's eligible for Medicare Part A coverage? Two categories of people are eligible: those \"\"automatically\"\" eligible, which means coverage is free and they don't have to pay a premium; and those who must pay a monthly premium. People in either category must be a citizen or legal resident of the United States and at least age 65 or disabled. Those who are age 65 or older and eligible for Social Security, Railroad Retirement or civil service retirement, or dependents or survivors benefits are eligible for Medicare Part A without paying any premium. People who are under age 65 but have been eligible for Social Security disability benefits for 24 months or who have permanent kidney failure are also eligible for free Part A coverage."

This includes individuals who live in the U. S. territories, such as Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, or the U. S. Virgin Islands. You can qualify for Medicare in a few different ways: You’re 65 years old or older. You’re younger than 65 and have been receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement disability benefits for at least two years. You’re younger than 65 and have end-stage renal disease. You’re younger than 65 and have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Let’s take a look at how Medicare eligibility works in each of those scenarios. Medicare eligibility if you’re turning 65If you are currently receiving Social Security (SSA) or Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) benefits when you turn 65, you’ll be automatically enrolled in Original Medicare, Part A and Part B, on the first day of the month that you turn 65. Most people get Part A for free if they’ve worked at least 10 years (40 quarters) and paid Medicare taxes. If you don’t qualify for premium-free Part A, you can still qualify for it based on your spouse’s employment history if he or she has worked long enough to get Part A without a premium. Otherwise, you can still sign up Part A and pay a monthly premium for it, which will vary depending on how long you worked."

As a worker, you must work and pay Social Security taxes for at least 10 years (40 quarters), and be at least 62 years old. As a spouse or a divorced spouse, you must be at least 62 years old. If you are a divorced spouse, you must have been married to your ex-husband for at least 10 years and be unmarried. As a widow or a divorced widow, you must be at least 60 years old and not remarried. ( To be eligible for Social Security spousal benefits, your spouse must have filed for his or her own benefit. ) Things are a bit murky for same-sex couples as a result of the Supreme Court's Defense of Marriage Act ruling.

"text": "The size of your employer is a key factor in determining the answer. Thinkstock By Susan B. Garland, Contributing Editor From Kiplinger's Retirement Report, March 2015You're turning 65 but still working and covered by your employer's health insurance plan. Should you enroll in Medicare? The answer to that question is not as simple as it may appear. See Also: SLIDE SHOW: 11 Common Medicare Mistakes The size of your employer could determine in part whether you enroll in Medicare Part B, which covers outpatient services. If your employer has 20 or more employees, your employer's insurance will be your primary coverage. As long as you're still working, neither you nor your spouse -- if your spouse is older than 65 and covered by your plan -- need to enroll in Part B. When you leave your job, you and your spouse can enroll in Part B during a special enrollment period, which lasts for eight months after you stop working. You can always drop your employer coverage while you're still working and enroll in Part B. (Stick with your employer plan if your spouse is not eligible for Medicare.) You should compare benefits and costs of your employer coverage and Medicare. If you're considering traditional Medicare, consider costs for Part B, a Part D prescription-drug plan and a Medigap supplemental insurance plan."

It provides those with limited income who are disabled, blind or over the age of 65 with in–home care services to help them remain safely at home. The four different IHSS programs explained... There are four different IHSS programs: The Community First Choice Option Program (CFCO), the Medi–Cal Personal Care Services Program (PCS ), the IHSS Independence Plus Option Program (IPO ) and t he Original or Residual IHSS Program (IHSS–R). Each of these programs provides the same services, but have different eligibility criteria based, in part, on whether they are funded with federal money. CFCO – Recipients are eligible because they have qualified for Medi-Cal and would otherwise need a nursing home level of care. Most IHSS recipients are in the IHSS-CFCO program. PCS – Recipients are eligible because they have qualified for Medi–Cal on the basis of age, blindness or disability. Most IHSS recipients who do not qualify for the IHSS-CFCO program are part of the Medi-Cal PCS program. IPO – Recipients are eligible because they have qualified for Medi–Cal and are also part of one of the following groups: parent provider for a minor child, spouse providers, advance pay cases or meal allowance cases."

"text": "\"Matthew Frankel ( TMFMath Guy)Mar 25, 2016 at 5:01PMImage source: www.stockmonkeys.com. This article was updated on June 7th, 2016. The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers two types of disability benefits: SSI, or Supplemental Security Income; and SSDI, or Social Security Disability Insurance. While both benefit programs are designed for disabled individuals, their eligibility requirements and benefits differ. Here's a rundown of these two Social Security disability programs, and what you should do next if you think you're eligible for either SSDI or SSI benefits. The biggest difference between SSI and SSDIThe most notable difference between the two disability benefits programs is how benefit eligibility is determined. Specifically, SSI is based on need. In order to qualify for SSI benefits, your income and resources must be below a certain amount. You are eligible for SSI regardless of whether or not you worked and paid into the Social Security system. On the other hand, SSDI is based on your work record, just like Social Security retirement benefits."

Between this point and the year 2030 more than 10,000 baby boomers will reach this milestone every single day. If you are approaching the age of 65, then it is time to begin thinking about Medicare and how to sign up for Medicare at age 65. When you reach 65 you are automatically eligible to receive Medicare; however, if you put off your enrollment, you may face a number of penalties. This is why it is so important to act as quickly as possible. Getting to Know the Options There are several different options to consider when and how to sign up for Medicare at age 65. There are four primary parts of Medicare: Part A – This covers any time you have to spend in a hospital. Part B – This covers fees from doctors and physicians. Part C – This allows those receiving Medicare to receive their medical care from a number of different delivery options. Part D – Covers your prescription medication."

But sadly, car crashes are the number one cause of death for young people. Many scientists argue that 16-year-olds just aren't mature enough to drive. Their brains aren't yet fully developed and they're more likely to take risks, become distracted, and make mistakes. As a way to help teens slowly gain driving responsibilities one step at a time, states adopted graduated license programs. These programs have restrictions for newly licensed drivers, such as a limit on the number of passengers or a curfew. A 2017 study found that graduated license programs have been instrumental in reducing car crashes among 16 and 17-year-olds. In fact, it's been so successful that some states are considering adopting graduated license programs for 18 to 20-year-olds who are becoming first-time drivers. Each state in the United States establishes their own driving laws, including laws about the age at which teens can begin driving, and the rules vary greatly about graduated license requirements. Learner's Permit Research shows many parents aren't good at teaching kids to become safe drivers."

"text": "November 11, 2014Open Carry Ban Overturned In Missouri News Tara Dodrill Missouri just passed an open carry law banning any city or other municipal entity in the state from ever approving a statute which would ban such an expression of Second Amendment rights. Amendment 5 ensured that all Missouri gun laws as “unalienable.” The law was inspired, at least in part, by the city of Webster Groves passing a law banning open carry in September. Amendment 5 passed with 60 percent of the vote during the primary election in August. The overturn of the open carry ban in Webster Groves occurred in late October, after the new state law was enacted. “ We have no choice in the matter. We must comply with the state law and all of us as municipalities are facing this,” Mayor Gerri Welch said. Open carry bans at the local level became subject to the new state statute after Republicans in the state senate and house overrode Governor Jay Nixon’s extensive gun control bill. The new gun rights law not only terminates all open carry bans but also lowers the age for concealed carry permits to 19. Opponents to the age 21 concealed carry permit laws in many states often note that at 18, Americans can go to prison, get married, pay taxes, hold public office, and carry high-velocity weapons in the military, but cannot garner a concealed carry permit or buy a beer at the local watering hole, when arguing for changes in the age restrictions."

That is the very first thing one should work on before hitting the road. Although it is common knowledge that driving on the streets without a valid permit is a crime. But even then many people tend to take this as a light issue. The importance of driver permits dawns on such people when they get into an accident on road without carrying a permit. In that case, the liability of all damages comes on the driver who is without a permit, even if it is not his or her fault. The driving permit is in fact a license showing that a person is approved by state authorities to drive vehicles on the road. Obtaining a driving permit is a multi-step process. DMV guides you through all these steps. Though all the states have their own policies in issuing a permit, but it is especially required for first-time drivers and for teenagers."

Approximately twenty-five states have laws or administrative regulations that state how old a puppy must be before it is offered for sale or adopted out to an owner. Of those states with laws, all but three require that a puppy be at least eight weeks old before being offered for sale. Maine , Virginia , and Wisconsin mandate that a puppy be at least seven weeks old. Other states focus on the separation of the puppy or kitten from its mother in addition to specifying a minimum age. Nevada's law provides that a retailer, dealer, or operator shall not separate a dog or cat from its mother until it is 8 weeks of age \"\"or accustomed to taking food or nourishment other than by nursing - whichever is later.\"\" [ emphasis added]. Likewise, Illinois also phrases such that a puppy or kitten shall not be \"\"separated from its mother\"\" until the puppy or kitten has attained the age of 8 weeks.

"text": "\"Mom provides security and nutrition for her little ones. Puppies ideally need to stay with their mothers until they reach 12 weeks old. Separating your puppy from his mom before he's 6 weeks old not only may impact his health, but also his behavior later in life. In some areas, separating such a young pup is illegal. Nourishment A newborn puppy must feed from his mother to get the nutrition he needs from her milk. The little one doesn't begin the weaning process until he reaches between 3 and 4 weeks old. During this process, your pup begins to eat solid foods, while still nursing from his mother, although less frequently than he did as a newborn. Overall, the weaning process lasts around four weeks, meaning that your pooch won't be eating only solid foods until he reaches between 7 and 8 weeks old. Separating him from his mom before this time means that he won't get the proper nutrition he needs to thrive. Health Taking away a puppy from his mother before he's 6 weeks old could be detrimental to his health."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Mammals Land Mammals Domestic Dogs Dog Breeds Dachshunds How long till a puppy can leave its mother? Flag How long till a puppy can leave its mother? Answer by Jds83 Confidence votes 32A puppy should be at least 8 weeks old before leaving its Dam. There are many breeders (good) who wait until 10 or 12 weeks old. The reason a puppy needs to stay with its mother until at least 8 weeks is because there are vital things that a puppy learns from its mother and litter mates that no one else (with the exception of a foster dog mom and foster pupsibs) can teach him or her. Taking a puppy too soon can effect their ability to get along with other dogs as they will have lost vital social skills.

These include thelack of a balanced diet or a stressful experience such as being hit by a car. The Neonatal Period Birth to 2 weeks - a constant human interference will interrupt the instinctive relationship between mother and puppy and can have a detrimental effect on the pup in later life. A puppy who has never had a human touch or external stimulation can grow up less confident and emotionally stable. The need for a happy balance is important if future stability is needed. The needs of a puppy at this stage are; food, warmth, rest, urination and defaecation. The Socialisation Period 3 to12 weeks - This happens rapidly and is when particular responses are acquired most readily and bonds are made. The socialisation period is characterised by interactions with family, people and its surroundings. The pup learns how to dominate or submit during this stage. Environmental issues at this stage have the greatest effect on the behaviour as an adult."

Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images T he first weeks of a puppy's life are an important period of physical and emotional development. A puppy's mother provides vital nutrition, warmth, personal care and attention. Weaning a puppy from its mother is a gradual process that should start at about 4 weeks of age and finish between 7 to 8 weeks of age. Therefore, it's not recommended to take a dog away from its mother before 6 weeks of age. The Care Of Mom Newborn puppies are entirely dependent on their mother during the first few weeks of life. The mother's milk provides adequate sustenance until about 4 weeks of age, when the mother and litter's human guardians can begin the transition to solid food. A puppy's vision and hearing only begins to function at about 3 or 4 weeks of age. Prior to this and until at least about 8 weeks, the mother dog keeps the puppies warm and safe. Learning From the Litter As puppies age, their littermates teach them how to interact with other dogs and canine signals that keep dogs safe in their adult years."

What do I need to know?” Actually there is something that you need to know even before your puppy leaves the breeder’s facility. What you need to know that your puppy should never leave its mother and litter mates before they are at least 8 weeks of age. It frustrates me to read a behaviour related question, to then find out that the dog was allowed to be removed from the mother and siblings before the age of 8 or 9 weeks old. Releasing a puppy too early has no benefits for the puppy and can cause a host of sometimes irreversible emotional and behaviour problems in dogs. This practice will only serve to harm your dog and make your job as the owner of this dog unnecessarily difficult. The only benefit for releasing a puppy before the age of 8 or 9 weeks will be for the breeder of this dog in the form of reduced costs associated with keeping the puppy for additional two or three weeks. Why Do Breeders Do This If It Is Not Good For The Puppy? Unless it is a true emergency (death of the mother or extreme illness of the puppy), any breeder that releases a puppy too early is doing so from either extreme ignorance, irresponsibility, or greed."

However, the age and background are seldom known about puppies who are strays, rescued, adoptable, living in shelters or being sold at pet stores. Estimating a puppy's age is possible if you examine tooth development or observe appearance and behavior. Teeth Step 1Open your puppy’s mouth carefully so you can look at and feel her gums. When puppies are born their teeth have not emerged, and this phase lasts until they are about 1 month old. This toothless state allows puppies to nurse without hurting the mother dog. Step 2Check your puppy’s gums to determine if you can see or feel any signs of teeth. When puppies are about 1 month old, deciduous or baby teeth begin to erupt."

Puppies are often sent to their new homes not because they have reached the optimal age to leave the litter but because the time is convenient for the buyer and breeder. Unfortunately, convenience for the breeder and buyer may not always be best for the puppy. In fact, placing a puppy in a new home too early, before the animal is developmentally prepared for the new experience, can have serious and lasting detrimental effects, such as nervousness, insecurity, and difficulty in adapting to new environments. Show breeders who hold on to puppies until they're nine or ten weeks old - the best time of assessing structure - may actually be doing their puppies a favor. While each week of a puppy's life is developmentally different, the existence of various physical and emotional stages is fairly standard and has been documented across breeds. Over a period of thirty or more years, the developmental periods of puppyhood have been separated and labeled with a variety of terms by several researchers.

"text": "Puppy Vaccinations - How, When And Why Share Tweet +1 Pin it Vaccines are biological agents administered to a healthy animal in order to give that animal immunity against a specific disease or condition. Vaccinations generally contain minute doses of de-activated microorganisms that in their live state, could potentially cause illness or disease. Introducing a minute amount of the de-activated agent of a vaccinatable disease causes the body to recognise it as an invasive agent without being exposed to the risk of the live form of the infection or organism. This triggers the immune system of the dog to fight off the agent, and so, build up antibodies against it that will remain in place to fight off the live form of the micro-organism in future, should the dog becomes exposed to it. Not every potentially dangerous condition or illness can be vaccinated against, and even among those that can, what conditions are vaccinated against as standard vary from country to country, depending on the prevalence of the condition within the canine population as a whole. In the UK, each condition that we commonly vaccinate dogs against requires a different vaccination agent, although these are usually combined and administered together in one or two treatments, to avoid the need for multiple vet visits and injections. Why do puppies need vaccinations? Vaccinations are the most important way to safeguard the long-term health and wellness of dogs and puppies within the UK, and when the vast majority of dogs within a given area or country are vaccinated, this reduces the risk factors for all of the dogs in the area, even those that are not vaccinated. Vaccinating dogs and puppies is therefore very important, not just for the ongoing health and wellbeing of each individual dog, but for the overall health and condition of the dog population within the UK. While adult dogs can be vaccinated at any age against the main transmissible conditions that they may come into contact with, vaccination is especially important for puppies and young dogs."

It is the formation of pouches of gastrointestinal lining which bulge through the muscle of the colon wall. It is a bit like having lots of little hernias in your large intestine. The intestinal walls are made up of many different layers. The inner most layers the mucosa and the sub mucosa are delicate and weak and the muscle layers underneath are stronger and contract in order to push your stool along to the back passage and then out through the anus when you have a bowel movement. Think of it a bit like a bicycle tire with an inner tube and an outer tube. The muscular layers normally keep the delicate inner layer in position. As we age however, the intestinal wall weakens and pressure against the wall can cause the inner layer to push through the muscle layer forming pouches called diverticula. This is far more likely to happen if we have constipation as when the stools are hard they exert far more force against the intestinal wall than when they are soft. This is an illustration showing the openings leading to the diverticula."

Screening should continue as long as a woman is in good health and is expected to live 10 more years or longer. All women should be familiar with the known benefits, limitations, and potential harms linked to breast cancer screening. Women should also know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast changes to a health care provider right away.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This document is the first update of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) colorectal cancer (CRC) screening recommendations since 2000. The CRC screening tests are now grouped into cancer prevention tests and cancer detection tests. Colonoscopy every 10 years, beginning at age 50, remains the preferred CRC screening strategy. It is recognized that colonoscopy is not available in every clinical setting because of economic limitations. It is also realized that not all eligible persons are willing to undergo colonoscopy for screening purposes. In these cases, patients should be offered an alternative CRC prevention test (flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5–10 years, or a computed tomography (CT) colonography every 5 years) or a cancer detection test (fecal immunochemical test for blood, FIT).

The good news is that colorectal-cancer-preventing habits are nearly identical to those that help your heart. \"\" If you basically do what you're supposed to do to prevent coronary artery disease or to prevent a heart attack, then you're doing exactly what you should to prevent colon cancer,\"\" says Alfred Neugut, MD, professor of medicine and epidemiology at Columbia University Medical Center, in New York City. Here are 12 tips for heading off colon cancer. Advertisement2 of 13 Corbis Take an occasional aspirin Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, are thought to cut colorectal cancer risk. But routine use can cause serious problems, such as gastrointestinal bleeding. People with high heart-attack risk can take a baby aspirin every day, but at the higher doses of aspirin that could help prevent colorectal cancer, the risks appear to outweigh the benefits. Still, Dr. Neugut says, if you're taking aspirin to prevent coronary artery disease, you could get a bonus in colon-cancer prevention. Only a very high colon-cancer risk might warrant NSAIDs for cancer prevention, he says.3 of 13 Corbis Don't smoke Most people know smoking causes lung cancer and heart attacks."

If detected early, it's also one of the most curable. A colonoscopy provides the finest in screening because it can both detect and remove polyps before they can turn into colon cancer. Cleveland Clinic colorectal surgeon James Church, MD, will provide answers to your questions about colonoscopy. You will also learn who needs to have a colonoscopy and what the risk factors are for colon cancer. James M. Church, MD, is a Staff member in the Department of Colorectal Surgery at Cleveland Clinic. He has been Director of the David G. Jagelman Inherited Colon Cancer Registries and Head of the Section of Endoscopy at Cleveland Clinic since 1989. Dr. Church’s specialty interests include all aspects of colorectal cancer and polyps, molecular genetics of colorectal diseases, and functional colorectal and anal problems, including constipation and incontinence, perianal and perineal infections, and inflammatory bowel disease.

If you’re having issues with your colon, or are at high risk for colon cancer, you may need a colonoscopy—and if you’re over 50, you may need to get regular screenings every 10 years. Colonoscopies can be either preventative screenings (before you’ve experienced symptoms) or diagnostic (if you’ve experienced symptoms or have a personal history and/or family history of cancer). For the purposes of this post, we’ll be focusing on preventive colonoscopy screenings. Amino found that the median network rate for a colonoscopy screening is $1,626. Keep in mind—this is an estimate for what you and your health insurance company might pay together (combined) for the procedure, not the amount you’ll pay out-of-pocket. You can use Amino to find an experienced doctor and estimate your out-of-pocket cost below.

Learn about the preventive measures you can take to reduce your cancer risk. i Stock.com A cancer diagnosis is often linked to family medical history, lifestyle choices, or something in the environment. And while you can’t control your family history or your whole environment, healthy lifestyle habits such as a good diet, regular physical activity, weight control, and quitting smoking if you’re prone to lighting up are all within your control. “Risk factors are individualized, but it’s important to know that there are things you can do to lower your risk,” says Daniel Mc Farland, DO, a medical oncologist with the thoracic oncology service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and an instructor in the center's department of medicine. Given that approximately 852,630 women are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2017 — and approximately 282,500 women are expected to die from the disease, according to estimates published in the “Cancer Facts and Figures 2017” report published by the American Cancer Society (ACS) — understanding your risk factors and learning what you can do to modify them is key. “Sometimes it comes down to the simple things, like reapplying sunscreen to prevent skin cancer if you’ve been outside for a while,” says Dr. Mc Farland. He recommends talking with your doctor about your own risk factors based on your family history and lifestyle. Knowing what you're up against can help you devise a plan for what screenings you may need to get (and when), what dietary changes could benefit you, and more — all personalized for you. “"

"text": "Top 5 Leading Causes Of Death Among Women: What They Are And How Close We Are To A Cure By Tiffany Rider - Senior Writer November 20, 2012 - The 2012 National Vital Statistics Reports, produced by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cites the top five leading causes of death in women of all ages and races as (in order) heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. While researchers continue to search for a cure to each of these diseases, representative organizations and individual physicians preach prevention as the best medicine for long-term health. Most preventative measures for these diseases are based on lifestyle changes – quitting smoking, eating a more balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and increasing physical activity. Dr. Robert A. Nagourney discusses lung cancer in remission with survivor Pat Merwin, who was diagnosed in 2008 with stage IV lung cancer that had spread to her brain. At Nagourney’s laboratory, Rational Therapeutics, he was able to analyze a piece of Merwin’s cancer tumor and identify the appropriate drug treatment regimen to double her odds of survival. According to a letter written by Pat Merwin, published on the laboratory’s website, “Within a few months, my tumors were in remission and I can honestly say I still don’t really know what it feels like to have lung cancer. I know it may be too soon to predict my long term survival, but I can say with certainty that I am living better today than I ever imagined.” Of the women the American Cancer Society expects to be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2012, 66 percent are expected to succumb to the disease. ( Photograph by the Business Journal’s Thomas Mc Conville)In addition to data from health associations, local and regional healthcare professionals offer insight on how these top five health problems impact women and what is being done to find a cure.#1 – Heart disease“Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, but the good news is that 80 percent of cardiac events in women may be prevented if they make the right lifestyle choices,” Dr. Vyshali Rao, boardmember of the American Heart Association Greater Los Angeles Division and medical director of Huntington Hospital’s Women’s Heart Program, wrote in an e-mail to the Business Journal."

Preventative Services Task Force recommend regular screening for colorectal cancer beginning at age 50, for people at average risk. The American College of Gastroenterology further advises that African-Americans begin screening at age 45 due to increased risk. Colonoscopy allows visualization of the rectum and the entire length of the colon and should be repeated every 10 years. Alternative screening methods are available, including flexible sigmoidoscopy, double-contrast barium enema, CT colonography and fecal immunochemical test, or FIT. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Screening for People at Increased Risk Certain factors increase your risk for colorectal cancer and may call for earlier or more frequent screening. People with a close relative diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 60 should begin screening at age 40 -- or 10 years earlier than the age the relative developed cancer. Colonoscopy should be repeated every 5 years in this situation. Screening prior to age 50 may also be warranted for people who are obese or have a history of heavy smoking. Discuss a more advanced screening schedule with your doctor if you believe you are at increased risk."

Sporadic cases are the most common and apparently result from environmental factors, diet, and aging. Familial CRC is not well understood but is characterized by increased risk of CRC and an unclear pattern of inheritance. Inherited CRC, on the other hand, exhibits a clear pattern of inheritance. Lynch syndrome, formerly known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), is the most common form of inherited CRC. Click here for a more detailed discussion of Lynch syndrome. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal dominant disorder, is characterized clinically by the presence of hundreds to thousands of colorectal polyps identified at an early age (<30 years)."

Researchers say the results suggest that helping people at risk for diabetes delay getting the disease as long as possible may significantly reduce diabetes-related health problems in their golden years. The risk of developing diabetes increases with age, but researchers say that until now little has been known about how age of diagnosis affects diabetes-related complications among the elderly. \"\" Our study reinforces the need to help adults who are middle-aged take steps to prevent diabetes, and suggests that seniors with diabetes should not be treated as a single group,\"\" says researcher Elizabeth Selvin, Ph D, MPH, of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in a news release. Also, \"\"It may be necessary to develop different treatment guidelines for those who are diagnosed during their 40s and 50s, as compared to those who are diagnosed after the age of 60,\"\" she says. Selvin's study appears in the November issue of Diabetes Care.

"text": "<< Back to January 2007Benfotiamine January 2007By Dale Kiefer When treating diabetes, today’s doctors focus on establishing blood glucose control, but often overlook the need to protect against common diabetic complications such as blindness, stroke, endothelial dysfunction, and loss of limb. 1Fortunately, benfotiamine, a little-known fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, has been shown to help prevent the development and progression of many diabetic complications. As a result, benfotiamine has become a critical nutrient for those seeking to ward off the potentially lethal impact of sustained high blood sugar levels. Used for decades in Europe as a prescription medication, benfotiamine ameliorates the progression of diabetic nerve, kidney, and retinal damage, and relieves the painful symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. 2-8 Diabetic neuropathy makes it difficult for nerves to carry messages to the brain and also impairs the function of the microvasculature (tiny blood vessels) in the extremities. The result of this pathological blood-vessel damage is numbness and painful tingling in the feet (and hands) that can eventually result in amputation of the lower extremities. Benfotiamine acts through a novel mechanism, blocking the biochemical pathways by which high blood sugar damages cells throughout the body. 8 Now available as a low-cost dietary supplement, benfotiamine can help diabetes sufferers protect their nerves, kidneys, eyes, blood vessels, and heart. Benfotiamine’s multifaceted effects in preventing dangerous diabetic complications make it an essential supplement for people with elevated blood sugar levels. Benfotiamine Differs from Conventional Diabetes Drugs Diabetes drugs are among the most widely prescribed pharmaceuticals on the market today."

Please see: Economic costs of diabetes in the U. S. in 2012. Diabetes Care 2013;36:1033–1046 - June 01, 2013Abstract OBJECTIVE This study updates previous estimates of the economic burden of diagnosed diabetes and quantifies the increased health resource use and lost productivity associated with diabetes in 2012. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study uses a prevalence-based approach that combines the demographics of the U. S. population in 2012 with diabetes prevalence, epidemiological data, health care cost, and economic data into a Cost of Diabetes Model. Health resource use and associated medical costs are analyzed by age, sex, race/ethnicity, insurance coverage, medical condition, and health service category. Data sources include national surveys, Medicare standard analytical files, and one of the largest claims databases for the commercially insured population in the U. S. RESULTS The total estimated cost of diagnosed diabetes in 2012 is $245 billion, including $176 billion in direct medical costs and $69 billion in reduced productivity. The largest components of medical expenditures are hospital inpatient care (43% of the total medical cost), prescription medications to treat the complications of diabetes (18%), antidiabetic agents and diabetes supplies (12%), physician office visits (9%), and nursing/residential facility stays (8%). People with diagnosed diabetes incur average medical expenditures of about $13,700 per year, of which about $7,900 is attributed to diabetes."

Insulin glargine is a recombinant human insulin analog that is a long-acting, parenteral blood-glucose-lowering agent [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY ]. Insulin glargine has low aqueous solubility at neutral p H. At p H 4 insulin glargine is completely soluble. After injection into the subcutaneous tissue, the acidic solution is neutralized, leading to formation of microprecipitates from which small amounts of insulin glargine are slowly released, resulting in a relatively constant concentration/time profile over 24 hours with no pronounced peak. This profile allows oncedaily dosing as a basal insulin. LANTUS is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing a non- pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli (K12) as the production organism. Insulin glargine differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position A21 is replaced by glycine and two arginines are added to the C-terminus of the B-chain. Chemically, insulin glargine is 21 A - Gly -30 B a-L-Arg-30 30 b-L-Arg-human insulin and has the empirical formula C 267 H 404 N 72 O 78 S 6 and a molecular weight of 6063.

Helping clients and patients make lasting dietary and lifestyle changes can improve their health and lower their risk of chronic disease. Once referred to as the “medical black hole,”1 the transition from the childbearing years to menopause largely has been ignored in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder. The majority of studies on PCOS have examined the reproductive and metabolic disturbances of women of reproductive age, yet PCOS is a chronic condition the medical community realizes must be managed throughout a woman’s life. This article reviews the research that’s been presented thus far regarding aging women with PCOS as well as the associated changes in hormones, body composition, and metabolic parameters that occur. Strategies to implement medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and improve nutrition counseling also are discussed. What Is PCOS? PCOS is a hormonal imbalance characterized by high levels of androgens (ie, male hormones such as testosterone) from the ovaries and is associated with insulin resistance."

"text": "\"New Standards of Care Provide Guidelines for Statin Use for People with Diabetes to Prevent Heart Disease Alexandria, Virginia December 23, 2014The American Diabetes Association is recommending a less stringent diastolic blood pressure target for people with diabetes and that all people with diabetes take either moderate or high doses of statins, in keeping with recent changes to guidelines for cardiovascular risk management enacted by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA). These recommendations are reflected in the most recent changes to the Association’s annual revised Standards of Medical Care, being published in a special supplement to the January issue of Diabetes Care. The new Standards of Medical Care are updated annually to provide the best possible guidance to health care professionals for diagnosing and treating adults and children with all forms of diabetes. The Standards are based upon the most current scientific evidence, which is rigorously reviewed by the Association’s multi-disciplinary Professional Practice Committee. Last year, the ACC and AHA jointly issued new recommendations for cardiovascular risk management that set up a decision tree to determine when to prescribe the use of cholesterol -lowering drugs, called statins, that would have placed the vast majority of people with diabetes under this therapy. Until now, the Association has not issued a response to these guidelines and their appropriateness for people with diabetes, who are two to four times as likely as people without diabetes to have a heart attack or stroke. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of people with diabetes. \"\" Because people with diabetes are already at high risk for heart disease, the revised Standards of Medical Care call for all people older than 40 years of age with diabetes to take statins,\"\" said Richard W. Grant, MD, MPH, Research Scientist, Kaiser Permanente Division of Research and Chair of the Association’s Professional Practice Committee. They recommend people with diabetes who are between the ages of 40 and 75 with no additional cardiovascular disease risk factors take a moderate-intensity statin, while those of all ages who have cardiovascular disease, or those ages 40-75 who have additional cardiovascular risk factors, take a high-intensity statin. \"\" The big change here is to recommend starting either moderate or high-intensity statins based on the patient’s risk profile,” said Grant, “rather than on LDL level."

Glucose is vital to your health because it's an important source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues. It's also your brain's main source of fuel. If you have diabetes, no matter what type, it means you have too much glucose in your blood, although the causes may differ. Too much glucose can lead to serious health problems. Chronic diabetes conditions include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include prediabetes — when your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes — and gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy but may resolve after the baby is delivered. Symptoms Diabetes symptoms vary depending on how much your blood sugar is elevated. Some people, especially those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, may not experience symptoms initially. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms tend to come on quickly and be more severe."

Glycemic control is fundamental to the management of diabetes, as glycemic levels are closely linked to development of diabetes-related complications. Measurement of the hemoglobin A1c (A1c) to assess chronic glycemic control is an integral component of diabetes care. Currently, there is no clear evidence that age alters the relationship between A1c and average blood glucose. The Diabetes Control and Complications trial and the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study are the 2 main studies that have provided evidence leading to the widespread recommendation of A1c monitoring. The American Diabetes Association recommends achieving an A1c level of 7% or lower. However, older diabetics represent a heterogeneous population ranging from frail nursing home residents to active community-dwelling elderly with variable life expectancies. One needs to look at the individual in order to best balance risk versus benefit associated with tight glycemic control. Benefits of intensive therapy in an effort to lower A1c must always be weighed against the greater risk of disabling and unpredictable hypoglycemia, as the geriatric population is less likely to benefit from reducing the risk of microvascular complications and more likely to suffer serious adverse effects from hypoglycemia."

"text": "\"Print Overview Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is vital to your health because it's an important source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues. It's also your brain's main source of fuel. If you have diabetes, no matter what type, it means you have too much glucose in your blood, although the causes may differ. Too much glucose can lead to serious health problems. Chronic diabetes conditions include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Potentially reversible diabetes conditions include prediabetes — when your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes — and gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy but may resolve after the baby is delivered. Symptoms Diabetes symptoms vary depending on how much your blood sugar is elevated. Some people, especially those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, may not experience symptoms initially. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms tend to come on quickly and be more severe."

"text": "Type 1 Diabetes In Adults Published March 28, 2018 by Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer Print Text Size: A A AFor years, distinguishing between the various types of diabetes was pretty straightforward: Juvenile diabetes ,” an autoimmune disease, was diagnosed primarily in children and teenagers when their own body’s immune system destroyed the insulin-producing (beta) cells in their pancreas. “ Adult-onset diabetes ” occurred in adults and was generally associated with insulin resistance and often with overweight. And “ gestational diabetes ” occurred in pregnant women and disappeared once the pregnancy was over. In the past 25 years, however, determining what type of diabetes a person has has become more of a challenge. In large part, that’s because more and more children and teenagers are now being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes — the type that occurred predominantly in adults in generations past. Most of these children and teens are overweight. At the same time, it’s becoming clearer that Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age and sometimes occurs in people who are overweight. In addition, another type of diabetes, called latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, or LADA, that shares some characteristics with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, has been recognized. Muddying the water further is the realization that diabetic ketoacidosis, an acute, life-threatening complication of diabetes that is caused by a lack of insulin, can occur in people with Type 2 diabetes — not just in people with Type 1, as was previously thought. And while gestational diabetes is still diagnosed only in pregnant women, it is sometimes discovered that what is thought to be gestational diabetes is really Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes that happens to start during pregnancy."

"text": "\"Drug Description Find Lowest Prices on LANTUS ® (insulin glargine) Injection DESCRIPTIONLANTUS (insulin glargine injection) is a sterile solution of insulin glargine for subcutaneous use. Insulin glargine is a recombinant human insulin analog that is a long-acting, parenteral blood-glucose-lowering agent [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY ]. Insulin glargine has low aqueous solubility at neutral p H. At p H 4 insulin glargine is completely soluble. After injection into the subcutaneous tissue, the acidic solution is neutralized, leading to formation of microprecipitates from which small amounts of insulin glargine are slowly released, resulting in a relatively constant concentration/time profile over 24 hours with no pronounced peak. This profile allows oncedaily dosing as a basal insulin. LANTUS is produced by recombinant DNA technology utilizing a non- pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli (K12) as the production organism. Insulin glargine differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position A21 is replaced by glycine and two arginines are added to the C-terminus of the B-chain. Chemically, insulin glargine is 21 A - Gly -30 B a-L-Arg-30 30 b-L-Arg-human insulin and has the empirical formula C 267 H 404 N 72 O 78 S 6 and a molecular weight of 6063. Insulin glargine has the following structural formula: LANTUS consists of insulin glargine dissolved in a clear aqueous fluid. Each milliliter of LANTUS (insulin glargine injection) contains 100 Units (3.6378 mg) insulin glargine."

"text": "\"Home > Health Library Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Insertion<< Back to Cardiovascular Tests and Procedures What is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator? An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a small electronic device connected to the heart. It is used to continuously monitor and help regulate potentially fast and life-threatening electrical problems with the heart. The ICD, about the size of a stopwatch, is implanted under the skin just below the collarbone. It consists of a pulse generator and wires, called leads. The pulse generator contains the battery and a tiny computer. One or more lead wires connect the pulse generator to specific locations in the heart. The ICD responds to irregular life-threatening heart rhythms from the lower chambers of the heart with pacing that corrects a fast rhythm and promotes a normal heartbeat, or a shock (defibrillation) that resets the heart rhythm to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. An ICD also records and stores information about your heart rhythm and therapies delivered by the ICD for your doctor to review. Most people are unaware when the ICD is pacing the heart."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with defibulation. Defibrillation View of defibrillator electrode position and placement. [ edit on Wikidata]Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation (VF) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (VT). [ 1] [2] A defibrillator delivers a dose of electric current (often called a countershock) to the heart. This depolarizes a large amount of the heart muscle, ending the dysrhythmia. Subsequently, the body's natural pacemaker in the sinoatrial node of the heart is able to re-establish normal sinus rhythm. [ 3]In contrast to defibrillation, synchronized electrical cardioversion is an electrical shock delivered in synchrony to the cardiac cycle. Although the person may still be critically ill, cardioversion normally aims to end poorly perfusing cardiac dysrhythmias, such as supraventricular tachycardia. [ 1] [2]Defibrillators can be external, transvenous, or implanted ( implantable cardioverter-defibrillator ), depending on the type of device used or needed. [ 4] Some external units, known as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), automate the diagnosis of treatable rhythms, meaning that lay responders or bystanders are able to use them successfully with little or no training.

"title": "http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1829679-overview\nPericardial Window",
"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Clinical Procedures Pericardial Window Updated: Dec 02, 2016Author: Dale K Mueller, MD; Chief Editor: Eric H Yang, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Overview Background Pericardial window is used diagnostically and, more often, therapeutically for drainage of accumulated pericardial fluid (a condition that most often occurs after cardiac surgery but has many other possible causes). The pericardium envelops the heart like a cocoon; its cardiac filling can be impaired when this cavity fills with excess fluid. When the limited space between the noncompliant pericardium and heart is acutely filled with blood or fluid, cardiac compression and tamponade may result. Pericardial window in combination with systemic chemotherapy may also prevent accumulation of large fluid volumes in patients with neoplastic pericardial disease. [ 1, 2]Pericardial window involves the excision of a portion of the pericardium, which allows the effusion to drain continuously into the peritoneum or chest. [ 3] The fluid can be drained in any of 3 ways: via a small subxiphoid incision, thoracoscopically, [ 4] or via a thoracotomy. [ 5]Indications The following are indications for a pericardial window [ 6]: Symptomatic pericardial effusions Asymptomatic pericardial effusions that warrant a pericardial window for diagnosis Hemodynamically stable patients with an undiagnosed pericardial effusion (a thoracoscopic approach is ideal)Coexisting pericardial, pleural, or pulmonary pathology that requires diagnosis or therapy (a thoracoscopic approach is ideal)Known benign effusions that reaccumulate after aspiration Drainage of a purulent pericardial effusion Early fungal or tuberculous pericarditis in which resection of the pericardium is required to prevent future pericardial constriction Use as part of the mediastinal debridement, in patients with descending mediastinitis Loculated effusions situated unilaterally or posteriorly (more easily approached thoracoscopically)Chylopericardium (thoracoscopic window and ligation of the thoracic duct)Delayed hemopericardium or effusions after cardiac surgery (usually treated via a subxiphoid approach, but a thoracoscopic approach is also used)An effusion in a patient with a substernal gastric or colonic conduit in whom a subxiphoid approach is not possible (an unusual indication for a thoracoscopic pericardial window)Contraindications The following is a contraindication for a pericardial window [ 6]: Concomitant cardiac surgery necessitating a sternotomy for which a full pericardiotomy would be performed Technical Considerations The following technical points may improve the performance of pericardial window procedures: If the patient is unstable, employ the subxiphoid approach Use the Allis clamp to grasp the pericardium Resect an adequate area of pericardium Ensure that no undrained areas of the pericardial space remain by using a sucker to explore all areas Periprocedural Care Equipment Equipment required for the subxiphoid and thoracotomy approaches includes standard thoracic instrumentation, along with the following: Long curved Allis clamp Aspirating needle used for mediastinoscopy Thoracoscopic scissors Endoscopic gastrointestinal anastomosis (GIA) stapler with vascular staple load Peanut dissector and tonsil sponge Yankauer sucker External defibrillator pads Equipment required for the thoracoscopic approach includes all of the above, along with the following:30º thoracoscope Ring forceps Patient Preparation Patient preparation includes adequate anesthesia and proper positioning. Anesthesia For the subxiphoid approach, general anesthesia is preferred and optimal. Arterial and central venous pressure monitoring may be needed intraoperatively, as well as in the postoperative period, to guide hemodynamic management. External defibrillator pads may be applied to the chest and back before preparation and may be connected to a defibrillator in case an arrhythmia develops during surgery."

With a manual defibrillator (monophasic or biphasic), use a dose of 2 J/kg for the first attempt and 4 J/kg for subsequent attempts. \"\" ZOLL Biphasic Approval for Pediatrics FDA approval for the use of ZOLL's Rectilinear Biphasic™ waveform technology on pediatrics was based on the results from A Comparative Biphasic Defibrillation Study for Pediatric Dosing Levels Using a Porcine Model. This study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of this waveform on pediatric patients, and supports a defibrillation protocol of 2J/kg. Although this is the same protocol as used with monophasic waveforms, pediatric patients will benefit from a reduced possibility of myocardial dysfunction associated with the use of biphasic waveforms, which deliver less peak current than monophasic waveforms. Use of ZOLL AEDs for Pediatric Defibrillation The ZOLL AED Plus® defibrillator and the ZOLL AED Pro® have been approved for defibrillation of pediatric patients with the use of ZOLL's AED Plus pedi- padz® II. Sudden cardiac arrest rarely strikes a small child. When it does, the American Heart Association recommends the use of an AED that delivers lower, pediatric doses of energy.

"text": "AED Use in Children Less than 8 Years of Age Automated external defibrillators were previously approved only for use in adults and children who were 8 years of age or older and greater than 25 kg. Some AED manufacturers have modified their adult AED equipment to include pediatric cables and pads that reduce the energy level delivered by the AED by about 50 to 70 joules, thus making the adult AED available for use in children less than 8 years of age. If an AED is used in a pediatric patient, it is highly recommended that an adult AED with the pediatric pad/cable system be used to deliver more appropriate energy levels. However, if a pediatric pad/cable system is not available and you are confronted with a child between the ages of 1 year and 8 years of age who is in confirmed cardiac arrest, it is appropriate to apply and use the adult AED. If only one rescuer is on the scene, one minute of CPR should be performed on the child prior to attaching the AED. After one minute of CPR, the adult AED should be attached and the rescuer should proceed with the AED procedure. Application of the AED and defibrillation is only indicated in ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Do not apply the AED if the patient has a pulse or other signs of circulation. Do not apply or use the AED in infants less than 1 year of age. If a defibrillator with variable energy settings is not available for use on an infant less than 1 year of age, initiate CPR and contact an ALS unit."

Survival from these arrest rhythms requires both basic life support (BLS) and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS). The foundation of ACLS care is good BLS care, beginning with prompt high-quality bystander CPR and, for VF/pulseless VT, attempted defibrillation within minutes of collapse. For victims of witnessed VF arrest, prompt bystander CPR and early defibrillation can significantly increase the chance for survival to hospital discharge. In comparison, typical ACLS therapies, such as insertion of advanced airways and pharmacologic support of the circulation, have not been shown to increase rate of survival to hospital discharge. This section details the general care of a patient in cardiac arrest and provides an overview of the ACLS Pulseless Arrest Algorithm. Access for Medications: Correct Priorities During cardiac arrest, basic CPR and early defibrillation are of primary importance, and drug administration is of secondary importance. Few drugs used in the treatment of cardiac arrest are supported by strong evidence. After beginning CPR and attempting defibrillation, rescuers can establish intravenous (IV) access, consider drug therapy, and insert an advanced airway."

"text": "Pacemakers/AICDs Introduction The following is intended to provide a brief introduction to the world of pacemakers and automated implantable cardioverter defibrillators (AICDs). While the information below may be of use and is hopefully applicable, nothing that follows should trump, supercede, or replace manufacturer recommendations regarding specific devices, which should ALWAYS be consulted, when available, prior to administering an anesthetic in a patient with a pacemaker or AICDHow Pacemakers Work All pacemakers are capable of triggering a heartbeat (where they initiate activity is determined by position one) at a given rate. Some (most) pacemakers have sensory functions as well (position two) – an “inhibiting” pacemaker will normally fire at a given rate (ex. 80), stopping only if electrical activity is sensed, whereas a “triggering” device will normally not fire, but will only fire if an electrical event is not sensed. Triggered mode is extremely rare, but is often combined with inhibited mode (to form “dual”) so that the pacemaker can fire if an atrial beat does not produce ventricular contraction (ex. normally the pacemaker beats at 80, but if the atria contract 1.1s after the previous contraction, a dual mode pacemaker would be able to trigger the ventricles. How ICDs Work Continually detect the R-R interval. If an ICD detects too many short R-R intervals, it decides between antitachycardia pacing (less battery use, more tolerable for the patient) or shock. Charging time is 6-15 seconds, after which many ICDs will reconfirm an arrhythmia prior to actually shocking. 10% of shocks are due to a non-VF non-VT rhythm, most commonly due to SVT."

"text": "Commotio Cordisby Kane Guthrie, Last updated October 9, 2017A 14 year old male is brought by ambulance in cardiac arrest post being struck to the chest with a softball, during a school sports carnival. On arrival the paramedics found the patient receiving effective CPR by his sports coach. The initial rhythm showed ventricular fibrillation (VF), and prompt defibrillation was attempted; however the patient failed to revert back into a perfusing rhythm. On arrival in hospital you asses the patient (who has now been in cardiac arrest for 40 minutes), and notice he is in a fine ventricular fibrillation on the monitor. IV access is secured and you start administering standard resuscitation drugs, and attempt defribrillation another 8 times, with no success. The patient’s family is now present in room, and you explain that their son has been in cardiac arrest for over an hour but is not responding to treatment. Afterwards you call the code and comfort the family. Two days later, you receive the pathology report from the autopsy which stating the findings:…a normal pericardial sac, the coronary arteries arises normally and free from atherosclerosis, the chambers and valves are proportionate, with normal myocardium, and atrial and ventricular septa…The toxicological report comes back normal, and the forensic pathologist puts the cause of death down as commotio cordis. What is Commotio Cordis? Ventricular fibrillation and sudden death triggered by a blunt, non penetrating, and often innocent appearing unintentional blow to the chest without damage to the ribs, sternum, or heart (and in the absence of underlying cardiovascular disease) constitute an event know as commotio cordis, which translates from the Latin as agitation of the heart."

"text": "Booster Seat Age, Height and Weight Requirementsby JOANNA EHLERS June 13, 2017Safety is a top priority for families on the road. Young children quickly graduate from five-point harnesses to booster seats that allow for the use of a regular seat belt. Understanding the requirements for booster seat usage can help parents make an informed decision about what kind of equipment can best protect their growing child. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Booster Seats The underdeveloped body of a child is 59 percent more likely to be injured in an automobile accident when protected only by a lap and shoulder harness. Booster seats reduce the risk of injury to a child by raising a child up and giving her a shallow area to sit comfortably without slouching. Booster seats make it possible for the lap belt to rest across the upper thighs instead of the child's vulnerable abdomen, and keeps its restraining force away from the abdomen by increasing the lap belt angle during a crash, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Age and Weight Young children are safest in five-point harnesses, and should be left in them as long as they still fit comfortably, according to the Car Seat Lady. Children between the ages of 3 and 4 who are at least 40 pounds are good candidates for booster seats as long as the lap and shoulder belt fits properly when the child is seated. The child should be able to sit comfortably for the entire trip without altering his position by sitting on his knees or leaning forward. Height Matters Children may begin using a booster seat as early as the age of 3, but the Car Seat Lady asserts that as many as 50 percent of 10-year-old children still require booster seats for optimum lap belt placement."

The recommendation to go into a booster seat is both 4 years old AND 40 lbs. This is because before age 4, the bone development of a child will not be able to withstand the forces of a crash with a 3 point belt. It does not matter how tall your son is or how much he weighs as if he is under age 4, he should remain in a 5 point harness seat. A harness seat is outgrown forward facing when ONE of the following happens: -his shoulders are above the top harness slot -when the tips of his ears are even with the shell of the car seat -when he hits the maximum weight limit I wanted to mention that overall height doesn't matter."

One way to keep kids safe in the car is by ensuring your child is properly buckled into the car seat that's recommended for her age. A booster seat is a type of car seat that's recommended for kids that meet certain age, weight and height requirements, according to Healthy Children.org. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Booster Seat Age Recommendations In 48 states, along with Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, booster seats are required by law for kids who have outgrown their car seats, but don't yet meet the requirements for riding with an adult seat belt alone, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association. As of 2013, South Dakota and Florida are the only states without this law. Children can move up to a booster seat when they exceed the weight or height recommendation of their car seat and weigh over 40 pounds, states the Washington State Booster Seat Coalition. The age at which a child can graduate from a booster seat to a seat belt varies by state. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids remain in a booster seat at least until they are 8 and reach 4 feet 9 inches tall.

"text": "By Jennifer La Rue Huget March 21, 2011Goodness knows we all want to keep our kids safe, especially in the car. New guidelines for car-seat use published today by the American Academy of Pediatrics should make that easier – but, from a kid’s perspective, much more onerous. The detailed document says, in short, that all children should sit in the back seat until they’re 13 years old. Babies and toddlers should remain in rear-facing car seats until they’re two years old (or until they’ve outgrown the height and weight specified by the manufacturer of their particular rear-facing seat). After that, a child can graduate to a forward-facing car safety seat with a harness “for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by their car safety seat’s manufacturer. ”And from there, he or she can move to a booster seat, which is meant to help seat belts (which are designed for adults) fit their bodies correctly. So far, so good. But the AAP further calls for keeping a kid in that booster seat until he’s 8 to 12 years old, or until… he mutinies and refuses to sit in the darned thing any more!No, the actual guideline calls for kids’ using the booster seat until they’re 4 feet, 9 inches -- tall enough for seat belts to fit them properly. The document containing these guidelines is full of interesting information; all parents should take a minute to read it. I’m sure following the new rules will save young lives; I really hope they do."

Child Passenger Safety Laws According to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the leading cause of death for children below the age of 15 are unintentional accidents, and most of those are caused by vehicle crashes . All 50 states, US territories and the District of Columbia have child restraint laws. As a rule, children under one year of age must be in an infant seat, ages 1-3 in a convertible car seat and 4-8 in a booster seat. All states and the District of Columbia, except Arizona, Florida and South Dakota, require booster seats for children who have outgown their child safety seats.

Reply 0maybeparent04/01/12The main reason a younger child cannot sit in the front of a vehicle is due to the airbag which could cause significant injury or even death to a small child. Generalizing an age limit of 13 ensures that most kids will be big enough to withstand the forces of the airbag during a collision (big enough meaning that their skeletal development is advanced enough, they are tall enough, etc. Many factors other than just height and weight)."

The booster helps to correctly position the seat belt over the child's body. Also known as a belt positioning booster. Recent research in New Zealand and Australia shows that children need to use a booster seat until somewhere between 8 and 12 years of age (Elizabeth Segedin, 2006). All 4 and 5 year olds required a car seat or booster seat90% of 6, 7, and 8 year olds required booster seats50% of 9 and 10 year olds10% of 11 and 12 year olds still required booster seats In addition to the above figures, Sam Tormey (2008) states the following,\"\"The rear seat of the average family car is too deep for almost half of adult women to sit upright and comfortably bend their knees over the edge of the seat, and the seatbelt in the rear seat is unsafe for any person less than 145cm tall. Children do not reach this height until around 11 years old, on average. There are two main concerns with being too small for an adult belt: the lap portion rides across the tummy, not the bony hips, causing abdominal injury in a crash, and the sash portion rides across the neck rather than the chest, causing injury to the neck and throat. Long seat cushions exacerbate these concerns by causing the child or small adult to slump so that their knees can bend at the edge of the seat, causing both parts of the seatbelt to ‘ride up’.\"\" Sydney's Child August 2008, pg 32. Syndey's Child publication [ 28, 29, 30, 31, 32]It is recommended that your child remains in a harnessed restraint right up to the maximum specified weight limit, then use a full backed booster."

"text": "\"IL DOT says kids should ride in the back seat until age 13Tweet By Shannan Younger , July 25, 2012 at 6:37 am From the Illinois Department of Transportation Do you know the law in your state about how old a child must be before he or she sits in the front seat of your vehicle? Some of her friends regularly ride in the front passenger seat of their family vehicle. Some do not. Lately my tween has been asking to ride in the front seat. Here's a list of front seat laws by state. There are no laws on the back seat issue in Illinois, only laws that say \"\" [a]ny person transporting a child under the age of 8 years shall be responsible for securing that child in an appropriate child restraint system, more commonly called a child safety seat. \"\" The Buckle Up Illinois.org website says, \"\"Back Seat is Best - Until Age 13\"\" and that \"\" [a]ll children age 12 and under should ride in the back seat.\"\" Some passenger safety organizations such as Safety Belt Safe U. S. A. suggest children should keep riding in the back seat until they are ready to drive themselves because it is twice as safe. That did not make my tween happy and instead elicited that all too familiar tween scowl. That look quickly turned to horror when I showed her that the website also notes, \"\"The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children ride in a belt positioning booster seat until the safety belt fits as it would an adult – which could be as long as 12 years old for some children.\"\""

"text": "Car seat safety: Avoid 10 common mistakes Car seat safety isn't child's play. Understand 10 common mistakes parents make when installing and using car seats. By Mayo Clinic Staff Knowing how to safely buckle up your child as he or she grows can be difficult. Check out 10 common mistakes parents often make when it comes to car seat safety — and how to avoid them.1. Getting a used car seat without doing your homework If you're considering a used car seat for your child, make sure the car seat: Comes with instructions and a label showing the manufacture date and model number Hasn't been recalled Isn't expired or more than 6 years old Has no visible damage or missing parts Has never been in a moderate or severe crash If you don't know the car seat's history, don't use it.2. Placing the car seat in the wrong spot The safest place for your child's car seat is the back seat, away from active air bags. If the car seat is placed in the front seat and the air bag inflates, it could hit the back of a rear-facing car seat — right where your child's head is — and cause a serious or fatal injury. A child who rides in a forward-facing car seat could also be harmed by an air bag. If it's necessary for a child to travel in a vehicle such as a pickup truck that has only one row of seats, deactivate the front air bags or install a power switch to prevent air bag deployment during a crash. If you're placing only one car seat in the back seat, install it in the center of the seat — if a good fit is possible — rather than next to a door to minimize the risk of injury during a crash.3."

In Minnesota, children need to be either 8 years old or 4-foot-9 before they are able to sit in a seatbelt alone. The law changed in 2009 when the age limit was 4. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, only 46 percent of children ages 0-4 across the country used car seats in 1984. Minnesota first passed its child restraint law in 1982. Now, the fine is $50 plus fees, where the $50 goes back to the state to buy car seats for needy families. “Babies, actually, in Minnesota need to be both 20 pounds and 1 year old before you can turn them around,” said Heather Darby, car seat safety expert with the Department of Public Safety."

Failure to do so could result in a fines and 3 points against their driver’s license and more importantly, injury to the child/children. Florida law states: (The law is found in Florida Statute §316.613, Florida Child Restraint Requirements-)Every operator of a motor vehicle as defined in this section, while transporting a child in a motor vehicle operated on the roadways, streets, or highways of this state, shall, if the child is 5 years of age or younger, provide for protection of the child by properly using a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device. For children aged through 3 years, such restraint device must be a separate carrier or a vehicle manufacturer’s integrated child seat. For children aged 4 and 5 years, a separate carrier, an integrated child seat, or a child booster seat may be used. There can be exceptions for emergency situations, transportation by a person who is not a member of the child’s immediate family, and some medical condition that necessitates an exception. “Vehicles” do not include a school bus or other bus used for the transportation of persons for compensation, other than a bus regularly used to transport children to or from school, a farm tractor, a truck having a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 26,000 pounds, a motorcycle, moped, or bicycle. The child restraint requirements imposed by law do not apply to a chauffeur-driven taxi, limousine, sedan, van, bus, motor coach, or other passenger vehicle if the operator and the motor vehicle are hired and used for the transportation of persons for compensation. It is the obligation and responsibility of the parent, guardian, or other person responsible for a child’s welfare to comply with the requirements of this section in this setting. ****************************************************************************************** That is what is required by law, but Florida’s “suggested Child Car Seat Guidelines” are: Birth to 1 year old and at least 20 lbs.- Use a rear-facing child car seat in the back seat of the car."

It's easy enough to check the weight and height limits of various boosters to see if your little one will fit according to manufacturer instructions. Does that mean it's time to switch your toddler to a booster seat? Booster Seat Age If you can safely keep your child in a harnessed car seat for a while longer, do it. Most 3-year-olds are not ready to ride in a booster seat in the car, even if they fit within the manufacturer's height and weight guidelines. Best practice is to keep your child in a harnessed car seat to at least 40 pounds and 4 years, but preferably longer. Many convertible car seats have harnesses rated to 65 or even 90 pounds. Most children can fit into the harness of one of these car seats well past age 4. In fact, children in the U. S. today can often stay in a harnessed car seat until age 6 or beyond. Thanks to advances in car seat safety technologies and developing crash testing methods, 4-year-olds that might have been moved into a booster 10 years ago can still safely ride in a rear-facing car seat!"

"text": "Print Overview Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder often violate the law, becoming criminals. They may lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and alcohol use. Because of these characteristics, people with this disorder typically can't fulfill responsibilities related to family, work or school. Symptoms Antisocial personality disorder signs and symptoms may include: Disregard for right and wrong Persistent lying or deceit to exploit others Being callous, cynical and disrespectful of others Using charm or wit to manipulate others for personal gain or personal pleasure Arrogance, a sense of superiority and being extremely opinionated Recurring problems with the law, including criminal behavior Repeatedly violating the rights of others through intimidation and dishonesty Impulsiveness or failure to plan ahead Hostility, significant irritability, agitation, aggression or violence Lack of empathy for others and lack of remorse about harming others Unnecessary risk-taking or dangerous behavior with no regard for the safety of self or others Poor or abusive relationships Failure to consider the negative consequences of behavior or learn from them Being consistently irresponsible and repeatedly failing to fulfill work or financial obligations Adults with antisocial personality disorder typically show symptoms of conduct disorder before the age of 15. Signs and symptoms of conduct disorder include serious, persistent behavior problems, such as: Aggression toward people and animals Destruction of property Deceitfulness Theft Serious violation of rules Although antisocial personality disorder is considered lifelong, in some people, certain symptoms — particularly destructive and criminal behavior — may decrease over time. But it's not clear whether this decrease is a result of aging or an increased awareness of the consequences of antisocial behavior. When to see a doctor People with antisocial personality disorder are likely to seek help only at the urging of loved ones."

"text": "Differences Between a Psychopath vs Sociopath By John M. Grohol, Psy. D. ~ 4 min read Society has conspired with Hollywood to put two seemingly-sexy psychology terms into our collective consciousness — psychopath and sociopath. Psychopath and sociopath are pop psychology terms for what psychiatry calls antisocial personality disorder. These two terms are not well-defined in the psychology research literature — hence the confusion about them. Nonetheless, there are some general similarities as well as differences between these two personality types. Both sociopaths and psychopaths have a pervasive pattern of disregard for the safety and rights of others. Deceit and manipulation are central features to both types of personality. Contrary to popular belief, a psychopath or sociopath is not necessarily violent. The common features of a psychopath and sociopath lie in their shared diagnosis — antisocial personality disorder. The DSM-5 1 defines antisocial personality as someone have 3 or more of the following traits: Regularly breaks or flouts the law Constantly lies and deceives others Is impulsive and doesn’t plan ahead Can be prone to fighting and aggressiveness Has little regard for the safety of others Irresponsible, can’t meet financial obligations Doesn’t feel remorse or guilt In both cases, some signs or symptoms are nearly always present before age 15."

He was charged with murdering 17 men and boys, in particularly gruesome ways. Some of his methods included rape, necrophilia, cannibalism, an dismemberment. As a young child, Dahmer did not display any characteristics of being different, but that began to change when he was about ten years old. Between the ages of ten and fifteen years old, he did not display any interest in social interactions, and became very withdrawn. He would bike around his neighborhood looking for dead animals, and would do very strange things with them, such as putting a dogs head on a snake. In 1982, Dahmer moved in with his grandmother in Wisconsin, where his behavior became increasingly strange. He was arrested twice for indecent exposure, once after he was caught masturbating in front of two young boys. Foul smells began protruding from his basement, and his grandmother kicked him out. His first murder was in 1978, where he picked up a young man named Steven Hicks, and then bludgeoned him to death with a barbell after sex, then burying the body in his backyard."

Samantha Gluck Print Email People with antisocial personality disorder show a long-term, pervasive behavioral pattern of exploiting, manipulating, and violating the rights of others. The behavior often crosses the line from disturbing into criminal. Mental health experts define antisocial personality disorder as part of the Cluster B group ( types of personality disorders ), meaning it’s one of the dramatic, emotional, and erratic disorders. The condition shares these broad characteristics with narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and histrionic personality disorder. What Does Antisocial Personality Disorder Look Like? What is antisocial personality disorder, exactly? People with antisocial personality disorder exhibit hostile and deceitful behaviors that first appear in childhood. As children, they may torment and torture animals as well as engage in bullying and intimidating of others. In addition to stealing, they may vandalize the property of others by setting fires or destroying the property in other ways."

"text": "\"Masks of Sanity (Part Four): What is a Psychopath? The term \"\"psychopath\"\" is being overused by expert commentators. Posted Aug 31, 2009SHARETWEETEMAILMOREIf you ever watch television shows like Nancy Grace and Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell, you have probably seen criminal profiler Pat Brown and numerous other experts commenting on sensational cases like the recent shocking murder here in Los Angeles by former reality star Ryan Jenkins of his ex-wife, model Jasmine Fiore, after which he hanged himself in a Canadian hotel room. And you may have noticed that, especially for profiler Pat Brown, almost all violent offenders seem to be \"\" psychopaths .\"\" Ms. Brown, who, so far as I know is not a mental health professional, is certainly not the only one guilty of such diagnostic overgeneralization: Guest panels commonly include clinical psychologists and psychiatrists making similar proclamations. But seasoned forensic psychologists know that it is dangerous to leap to such diagnostic conclusions prior to evaluating the criminal defendant and reviewing all the facts in such cases. For example, do Ryan Jenkins' gruesome efforts to conceal his murdered victim's identity by removing both her teeth and fingers and then stuffing her into a suitcase, or Chris Coleman's apparently premeditated slaughter of his wife and two children while they slept (see my previous post ), or Casey Anthony's alleged killing of her own daughter (see my prior posts) necessarily make them psychopaths? Possibly. But it seems that for some of these commentators, the facile label of \"\"psychopath\"\" can be pejoratively pinned onto just about any bad behavior--especially when it involves extreme violence, such as the recent shootings of random women at a fitness club in Pittsburgh (see my previous post .) Meanwhile, did you know that the American Psychiatric Association's official diagnostic manual (DSM-IV-TR) does not even consider \"\" psychopathy \"\" a legitimate formal psychiatric diagnosis?"

"text": "Conduct Disorder An epidemic of antisocial children. Posted Jan 31, 2010SHARETWEETEMAILMOREThe prevalence rate of some behavioral disorders in the United States is growing. Most concerning is that many of these conditions appear in early childhood and are linked with at-risk behaviors including dropping out of school, early sexual experiences, violence and drug use. Sustained behavioral problems are associated with a poorer long-term prognosis. Conduct Disorder, a condition in which there is a pervasive pattern of behavior wherein an individual repeatedly violates the rights of others, property or rules, is one such disorder. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM IV-TR) suggests that this disorder has increased throughout the last few decades with some studies suggesting prevalence rates as high as 10% in the general population. Conduct Disorder is diagnosed when an individual displays a number of behaviors in violation of age-appropriate societal norms. These behaviors fall into four general categories: Aggression to people and animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft, and serious violations of the rules. In addition, the behaviors must cause significant impairments in school, social or occupational functioning. Conduct disorder tends to present before age 16 and is believed to be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors."

D. ~ 2 min read The essential feature of conduct disorder is a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior by a child or teenager in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated. These behaviors fall into four main groupings: aggressive conduct that causes or threatens physical harm to other people or animals, nonaggressive conduct that causes property loss or damage, deceitfulness or theft, and serious violations of rules time and time again. Specific Symptoms of Conduct Disorder Conduct disorder is characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated, as manifested by the presence of three (or more) of the following criteria in the past 12 months, with at least one criterion present in the past 6 months: Aggression to people and animalsoften bullies, threatens, or intimidates othersoften initiates physical fightshas used a weapon that can cause serious physical harm to others (e.g., a bat, brick, broken bottle, knife, gun)has been physically cruel to peoplehas been physically cruel to animalshas stolen while confronting a victim (e.g., mugging, purse snatching, extortion, armed robbery)has forced someone into sexual activity Destruction of propertyhas deliberately engaged in fire setting with the intention of causing serious damagehas deliberately destroyed others’ property (other than by fire setting)Deceitfulness or thefthas broken into someone else’s house, building, or caroften lies to obtain goods or favors or to avoid obligations (i.e., “cons” others)has stolen items of nontrivial value without confronting a victim (e.g., shoplifting, but without breaking and entering; forgery)Serious violations of rulesoften stays out at night despite parental prohibitions, beginning before age 13 yearshas run away from home overnight at least twice while living in parental or parental surrogate home (or once without returning for a lengthy period)is often truant from school, beginning before age 13 years The disturbance in behavior causes clinically significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning. If the individual is age 18 years or older, criteria are not met for antisocial personality disorder. Two subtypes of conduct disorder are provided based on the age at onset of the disorder (i.e., childhood -onset type and adolescent-onset type). The subtypes differ in regard to the characteristic nature of the presenting conduct problems, developmental course and prognosis, and gender ratio. Both subtypes can occur in a mild, moderate, or severe form. In assessing the age at onset, information should preferably be obtained from the youth and from caregiver (s). Because many of the behaviors may be concealed, caregivers may underreport symptoms and overestimate the age at onset."

Antisocial Avoidant Borderline Dependent Five-Factor Model of personality Histrionic Narcissistic Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) Paranoid Personality Personality disorders Schizoid Schizotypal Learning Objectives Define what is meant by a personality disorder. Identify the five domains of general personality. Identify the six personality disorders proposed for retention in DSM-5. Summarize the etiology for antisocial and borderline personality disorder. Identify the treatment for borderline personality disorder. Introduction Everybody has their own unique personality; that is, their characteristic manner of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating to others ( John, Robins, & Pervin, 2008 ). Some people are typically introverted, quiet, and withdrawn; whereas others are more extraverted, active, and outgoing. Some individuals are invariably conscientiousness, dutiful, and efficient; whereas others might be characteristically undependable and negligent. Some individuals are consistently anxious, self-conscious, and apprehensive; whereas others are routinely relaxed, self-assured, and unconcerned."

"text": "\"Heredity Versus Environment: Twin, Adoption, and Family Studies Avi G. Haimowitz Rochester Institute of Technology A plethora of internal and external variables combine to create individual personalities, behaviors, and psychopathologies supposedly unique to every human being. The argument of genetic makeup versus environmental influences, however, has researchers working to determine what really shapes us. Some say genotypes control how people think, feel, and behave. Others believe it is the environment alone that is responsible for molding humans into who they are. There is much unknown in this field, but the perusal and review of twin, adoption, and family studies is a significant stepping stone in better understanding this topic. Even today, the sole sculptor of human personality, behavior, and psychopathology remains unknown; modern research indicates that a combination of biology and environment constructs us all. Studying how genes and our surroundings may or may not form the personalities, behaviors, and psychopathologies of human beings is probably the most obvious way to approach the argument of heredity versus the environment. It is often the tendency of humans to polarize themselves and choose a specific side when a question like this is introduced. Despite this common inclination, it is probably not the wisest method of deciphering the basis for the three main variables that construct human beings; who is to say that a single factor is the source of all our differences? It is more logical to examine the distinctions between biology and the environment, and to figure out in what ways the two may intertwine to form the singular entities that are our personas."

"text": "Print Overview Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder often violate the law, becoming criminals. They may lie, behave violently or impulsively, and have problems with drug and alcohol use. Because of these characteristics, people with this disorder typically can't fulfill responsibilities related to family, work or school. Symptoms Antisocial personality disorder signs and symptoms may include: Disregard for right and wrong Persistent lying or deceit to exploit others Being callous, cynical and disrespectful of others Using charm or wit to manipulate others for personal gain or personal pleasure Arrogance, a sense of superiority and being extremely opinionated Recurring problems with the law, including criminal behavior Repeatedly violating the rights of others through intimidation and dishonesty Impulsiveness or failure to plan ahead Hostility, significant irritability, agitation, aggression or violence Lack of empathy for others and lack of remorse about harming others Unnecessary risk-taking or dangerous behavior with no regard for the safety of self or others Poor or abusive relationships Failure to consider the negative consequences of behavior or learn from them Being consistently irresponsible and repeatedly failing to fulfill work or financial obligations Adults with antisocial personality disorder typically show symptoms of conduct disorder before the age of 15. Signs and symptoms of conduct disorder include serious, persistent behavior problems, such as: Aggression toward people and animals Destruction of property Deceitfulness Theft Serious violation of rules Although antisocial personality disorder is considered lifelong, in some people, certain symptoms — particularly destructive and criminal behavior — may decrease over time. But it's not clear whether this decrease is a result of aging or an increased awareness of the consequences of antisocial behavior. When to see a doctor People with antisocial personality disorder are likely to seek help only at the urging of loved ones."

"text": "\"Histrionic personality disorder Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Flemish Dreams Definition Histrionic personality disorder, often abbreviated as HPD, is a type of personality disorder in which the affected individual displays an enduring pattern of attention-seeking and excessively dramatic behaviors beginning in early adulthood and present across a broad range of situations. Individuals with HPD are highly emotional, charming, energetic, manipulative, seductive, impulsive, erratic, and demanding. Mental health professionals use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the DSM ) to diagnose mental disorders. The 2000 edition of this manual (the fourth edition text revision, also called the DSM-IV-TR ) classifies HPD as a personality disorder. More specifically, HPD is classified as a Cluster B (dramatic, emotional, or erratic) personality disorder. The personality disorders which comprise Cluster B include histrionic, antisocial, borderline, and narcissistic. Description HPD has a unique position among the personality disorders in that it is the only personality disorder explicitly connected to a patient's physical appearance. Researchers have found that HPD appears primarily in men and women with above-average physical appearances. Some research has suggested that the connection between HPD and physical appearance holds for women rather than for men. Both women and men with HPD express a strong need to be the center of attention."

"text": "\"Narcissist or Sociopath? Similarities, Differences and Signs7 reasons why it's often so tough to spot them, and how you can Posted Aug 11, 2016SHARETWEETEMAILMORESource: © Benoit Daoust | Dreamstime.com Woman Victim Afraid of her Boyfriend, used with permission The depiction of colorful, dangerous characters on TV and in film has brought psychological terms into the common vernacular. The words “narcissist” and “sociopath” are bandied about by pundits, on Facebook, and at the dinner table – sometimes (and incorrectly) interchangeably. We weigh in on the mental health of public figures. We think of \"\"Little Finger,\"\" or at the extreme, Ramsay Bolton on Game of Thrones, and we assume we know what the labels \"\"narcissist\"\" and \"\"sociopath\"\" mean and that we could easily spot such characters in real life. There is certainly some overlap between these two personality disorders, which is why they are both part of the “Cluster B” group in the DSM (comprised of narcissistic, histrionic, antisocial, and borderline personality disorders). Sociopathy is captured by the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder. Despite both being part of this “dramatic erratic”, cluster, however, the two disorders are not interchangeable. Nor are they always so easy to identify in the day-to-day. It’s actually much easier to spot narcissists, sociopaths, or those who are “off,” in some way on TV than it is in real life for a variety of reasons."

"text": "\"Developmentally-Appropriate Physical Activity Ideas 1Infants 1Keeping infants and toddlers in strollers, play pens or car/infant seats for extended periods of time may delay development such as rolling over, crawling and walking. It is important to support infants in being physically active from the start! Parents and caregivers must provide opportunities and encouragement for the development of these movement skills. Recommendations include: Playing baby games (e.g., \"\"peek-a-boo\"\" and \"\"patty-cake\"\")Holding, rocking or carrying the infant to new environments Placing infant on his stomach and encouraging him to move actively on a clean or blanketed floor; also known as \"\"tummy time\"\"Placing a rattle or favorite toy just out of his reach Changing the position of the object to increase mobility and range of motion Providing a variety of safe play objects that cannot be swallowed, are lightweight for handling and grasping, have no sharp edges or points, are brightly colored, vary in texture and are non-toxic Designating a safe space for playing, rolling and other large muscle activities Ensuring close supervision in an open environment for the exploration and development of movement skills (e.g., rolling over, sitting up, crawling, creeping and standing)Interacting with the infant as long as he is attentive to playful activity—use facial, verbal and nonverbal expressions to motivate the infant's physical participation Toddlers 1Toddlers will use their new walking skills to energetically explore the world around them, revealing new movement possibilities and increased opportunity for learning. Basic movement skills (e.g., running, jumping, throwing and kicking) will develop and emerge as children try them and gain experience. It is important for parents/guardians and child care providers to create environments that support these movements by: Emphasizing skills (e.g., throwing, catching, kicking and striking objects) when developmentally-appropriate Engaging in activities that encourage the toddler to support her body weight with her hands as she begins to develop upper body strength Providing objects for structured activity to enhance movement and social skills Child-size equipment, musical instruments, active follow-along songs and basic rhythms, chase games Creating opportunities to experiment with unstructured activity experiences Places to crawl under and around, grasping large balls and inflatable toys, digging and building in sandboxes Providing objects that promote strength, balance, flexibility and endurance Riding toys; push and pull toys; toys to balance on, climb up on, jump safely down from to ground level Designating a safe space indoors and outdoors for active play Offering encouragement and child-size toys and equipment to maintain interest and help the toddler learn new movement skills Preschoolers 1Preschoolers are mastering skills such as running, jumping and throwing. They develop confidence in their abilities over time when they have opportunities to follow their interests and learn and practice new skills. Preschool children are often very social and imaginative; they love games, dancing, riding tricycles and creating obstacle courses to move through. Use these tips to be active with your preschoolers: Offer a wide range of opportunities for physical activity as well as some basic equipment: Different kinds of balls and bean bags Old boxes or tunnels to crawl through Tricycle or other riding toys Access to climbing equipment at a playground Push-pull toys like wagons, doll buggies or lawn mower Have a \"\"Movement Parade\"\" - march around the room or outside and call out different things that kids can do like twirl, leap, hop, jump, etc. Play simple singing games that involve movement: \"\"Hokey-Pokey,\"\" \"\"Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes\"\" or \"\"If You're Happy and You Know It! \"\""

But hectic family schedules and other issues are making finding time for playtime more challenging than ever. Children’s play is serious business. As parents and caregivers, we might assume that play is already a basic part of our children’s lives. Most parents are used to seeing the curious hands and questioning minds of their children as they explore and learn about the world around them. It seems that children are busy all day long, whether we give them something to do or not. It is up to adults to define what healthy play should be, and to schedule that time so that it’s safe, age-appropriate, and a big part of the lives of our children. Once you decide what the limits of healthy play are for your child, you may still have questions. Should you time how long your children play by the clock?"

"text": "\"Infant Toddler Development Training Module 1, Lesson 1Developmental Domains & Typical Sequences of Development As previously stated, when looking at child development, several domains or developmental areas are considered: motor/physical, cognitive, social/emotional, communication/language, and self-help. Each domain and a brief description of the typical developmental sequences for each are noted below. Motor/Physical Domain The motor/physical domain involves both gross motor and fine motor skills as well as physical growth. Since muscle and bone tissue grows very rapidly during the first two years, infant growth is very rapid and increases in strength, coordination, and stamina occur. Typical infant growth and development proceed from the head downward and from the center of the body outward. At birth, the newborn's head is about 70 percent of its eventual adult size - creating an infant that is top-heavy. The same developmental sequence occurs for muscle control with infants gaining control over muscles that support their head and neck first, then the trunk, and eventually developing muscle control needed for reaching. Muscle control needed for walking is the last to develop. During infancy, motor abilities evolve in a specific sequential order. However, it is important to note that the rate of motor development differs among children (e.g., standing, walking)."

Page Contents Screening Evaluation and Assessment State Guidance Screening, evaluation and assessment are distinct processes with different purposes under the provisions of Part C and Part B. Screening includes activities to identify children who may need further evaluation in order to determine the existence of a delay in development or a particular disability. Evaluation is used to determine the existence of a delay or disability, to identify the child's strengths and needs in all areas of development. Assessment is used to determine the individual child's present level of performance and early intervention or educational needs. The Early Head Start National Resource Center developed a technical assistance paper that defines best observation practices for proper developmental assessment. Screening Under Part C, screening is at a state's discretion and is part of Post-Referral Procedures. Screening is conducted using appropriate instruments, administered by trained personnel, by the lead agency or an early intervention program. The purpose of screening is to determine whether an infant or toddler is suspected of having a disability and is, therefore, in need of early intervention services. Screening requires parental notice and consent, must be performed within the 45 day timeline, and, at a parent's request and with consent, the EI program must conduct an initial evaluation of the infant or toddler even if the results of the screening do not identify the child as suspected of having a disability. Under Part B, screening may be conducted as part of child find activities in order to ascertain whether the child should be referred for an evaluation to determine if the child has a disability and is in need of special education and related services."

"text": "Early Childhood Research Quarterly Volume 28, Issue 1, 1st Quarter 2013, Pages 94-101Effects of home environment and center-based child care quality on children's language, communication, and literacy outcomes ☆Ana Isabel Pinto a Manuela Pessanha b Cecília Aguiar c 1Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecresq.2012.07.001 Get rights and content Abstract This study examined the joint effects of home environment and center-based child care quality on children's language, communication, and early literacy development, while also considering prior developmental level. Participants were 95 children (46 boys), assessed as toddlers (mean age = 26.33 months; Time 1) and preschoolers (mean age = 68.71 months; Time 2) and their families. At both times, children attended center-based child care classrooms in the metropolitan area of Porto, Portugal. Results from hierarchical linear models indicated that home environment and preschool quality, but not center-based toddler child care quality, were associated with children's language and literacy outcomes at Time 2. Moreover, the quality of preschool classrooms moderated the association between home environment quality and children's language and early literacy skills – but not communication skills – at Time 2, suggesting the positive cumulative effects of home environment and preschool quality. Findings further support the existence of a detrimental effect of low preschool quality on children's language and early literacy outcomes: positive associations among home environment quality and children's developmental outcomes were found to reduce substantially when children attended low-quality preschool classrooms. Highlights► Toddler child care quality was not related to children's outcomes in preschool. ► Home and preschool quality were associated with children's language and literacy. ► Preschool quality moderated the home environment/child outcomes association. ► Low-quality preschool weakened the home environment/child outcomes association."

Smith — Pearson Allyn Bacon Prentice Hall Updated on Apr 30, 2014The IEP process is meant to be deliberate and equitable, and the individualized program plans that it generates are the means by which the educational concepts outlined in the law are guaranteed to each student and that student's family (Office of Special Education Programs [OSEP], 2000). The formation of an individualized program involves seven steps, beginning with pre-referral and ending with evaluation of a youngster's program. These steps are Download Article Pre-referral Referral Identification Eligibility Development of the IEPImplementation of the IEPEvaluation and reviews Let's look at these seven steps in more detail to get a better understanding of what each means and how they form the IEP process. Step 1: Pre-Referral The IEP process is initiated through a series of pre-referral interventions. The interventions implemented vary depending on the kind of problem the student is exhibiting. The major purposes of this stage of the IEP process are to Document and explain students' difficulties and challenges Test the effectiveness of classroom accommodations and modifications Assess the power of various instructional interventions Monitor students' progress (NASBSE & ILIAD Project, 2002). Pre-referral activities are employed to screen students before more formal identification procedures are implemented. In general, before any formal referral to special education is made, teachers and family members work together to see whether educational or behavioral difficulties can be resolved in the general education classroom. The assessments used during this step of the IEP process are intervention-based and are made in the student's general education class using direct measures of performance (Mc Namara & Hollinger, 2003). The point here is to avoid unnecessary assessments and placements in special education, which are costly in time; money, and resources."

The school incorporates technology in its lessons.—Jeff Swensen for Education Week By Christina A. Samuels May 7, 2013Printer-Friendly Email Article Reprints Comments Maren Herman's preschool classroom is filled with educational devices to entice a 3-year-old: toys, finger paints, books galore. And among the tools Ms. Herman uses in her classroom at Shady Lane School in Pittsburgh are two i Pads and a laptop computer. On a given day, children might use a software app called Handwriting Without Tears to practice tracing letters. On other occasions, the i Pad has been used to stream music fit for a king during a pretend royal ball. From Ms. Herman's perspective, tablet devices such as i Pads are just one of many tools appropriate for early learning—when used with the understanding that they're not intended to supplant other developmentally appropriate materials. \"\" It's not any different from a pencil, or a pen, or a glue stick,\"\" Ms. Herman said. \"\" We may have the i Pad or the laptop out for a half an hour, and during that half hour, we cycle through 13 children in a classroom.\"\" In that time, they're not only learning from the device, but they're also absorbing a basic comfort level with technology that will pave the way for its use later on in their schooling, she said.

"text": "\"This article is intended to serve as a handy reference guide and starting point for understanding and distinguishing children's basic abilities and preferences as they grow. These abilities and preferences play an important role in attracting and motivating children to interact with toys. Developing physically, for example, changes the ways in which children are able to coordinate their gross-motor skills. Increased mobility opens up new ways to use toys. A higher level of fine-motor skill permits greater manipulation of objects. Ultimately, such knowledge helps to identify and distinguish the characteristics of toys that are appealing to children at a given age. Although information of this sort is noted throughout the guidelines in relation to a specific subcategory of toys, this section summarizes typical play behaviors regardless of the toy used, and identifies appropriate and appealing toy characteristics that are generally consistent among all subcategories of toys. With this information, the reader will be better able to make an age determination for a given toy, even if that toy is not specifically addressed within the guidelines. Birth Through 3 Months Object play is limited during this period since learning occurs mostly through the reflexive actions of the child, such as spontaneous kicking or arm movements. Initially, they explore with their eyes and ears only."

"text": "Babies Growth & Development Developmental Milestones by Ages and Stages Your Child's Developmental Milestones By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated February 09, 2018Share Pin Email Print Parents often look forward to when their infant, toddler, or other young child reaches their developmental milestones, such as smiling, rolling over, sitting up, taking his first steps, counting to ten, and tying his shoes, etc. Review photos of common developmental milestones and the ages at which children normally reach them, both so that you can recognize when your child's development is delayed and you know when he is right on track. A photo of a group of mothers together with their infants, a time when moms often compare their children's milestones... Parents are often discouraged from comparing the growth and development of their own child against that of other children. The reason is that there is a wide range for when children reach most milestones. For example, most children begin to walk well on their own sometime between 11 and 15 months. If you have a group of 12-month-olds, you will likely see some walking well already, and many others still just cruising around while holding onto things. And all can be developing normally. And even beyond the wide range of normal development, there are always those early bloomers and late bloomers who are also developing normally, too. If your child isn't reaching his developmental milestones on time though, it would be good to talk to your pediatrician to see if there might be a problem with his development and any kind of developmental delay. Take that group of 12-month-olds again."

"text": "\"Kids & Money Jobs for Kids Age-Appropriate Jobs for 9-Year-Olds Kids can master a variety of jobs with some supervision Share Flip Pin Email By Madison Du Paix Updated February 26, 2018They're not quite tweens yet, but as most will be glad to tell you, they're not babies, either. Most 9-year-olds fall somewhere between \"\"little kid\"\" and \"\"big kid\"\" on the status scale. They love doing small jobs and tasks to show that they're old enough to handle responsibility, but they're not quite ready to be left unsupervised yet because—let's face it—kids will be kids. Plenty of age-appropriate tasks and helper jobs can give 9-year-olds that \"\"big kid\"\" feeling they crave if they want to earn some money. Here are some jobs that can help teach 9-year-olds responsibility—and, in some cases, even a skill.01 Yard Work•••A 9-year-old is probably too young to safely use a lawnmower, but he can definitely learn his way around a rake. Cleaning up grass clippings and leaves is a good task for 9-year-olds. Kids can learn how to use a garden hose to clean a deck or to water flowers, too. But gauge your child's dexterity. It might be safer for everyone involved if he sticks with the hose for a little while before you entrust him with a pronged rake.02 Parent's Helper•••A 9-year-old is too young to babysit , but she can act as a parent's helper, minding a younger child while Mom balances the budget or Dad does the laundry nearby. This way of introducing babysitting to your child can make her feel more confident when she's old enough to care for other children unsupervised."

"text": "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Overview Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. Inattention means a person wanders off task, lacks persistence, has difficulty sustaining focus, and is disorganized; and these problems are not due to defiance or lack of comprehension. Hyperactivity means a person seems to move about constantly, including in situations in which it is not appropriate; or excessively fidgets, taps, or talks. In adults, it may be extreme restlessness or wearing others out with constant activity. Impulsivity means a person makes hasty actions that occur in the moment without first thinking about them and that may have high potential for harm; or a desire for immediate rewards or inability to delay gratification. An impulsive person may be socially intrusive and excessively interrupt others or make important decisions without considering the long-term consequences. Signs and Symptoms Inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity are the key behaviors of ADHD. Some people with ADHD only have problems with one of the behaviors, while others have both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Most children have the combined type of ADHD. In preschool, the most common ADHD symptom is hyperactivity."

"text": "Allowance for Kids – Types & How Much You Should Pay for Chores By Susan Borowski Posted in: Kids Share 22 Tweet 28 Pin 9 Comments 6There are two general schools of thought in regards to paying kids an allowance: Kids should earn money in exchange for doing chores, or kids should not be paid for regular contributions that are expected of every family member. In the latter case, kids are either regularly given money unconditionally, given money as needed, or they must earn it some other way. There are pros and cons to every method of administering an allowance to children. However, the ultimate point of the allowance, regardless of how it is given, is to teach your kids money management skills. It is apparent that the skills necessary to manage money effectively are not being learned in school, but must begin at home. The Unprepared Generation A 2008 survey by Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy found that college students who had taken financial management courses in high school fared no better in money management than students who had not taken such a course, while a June 2010 study by Capital One Financial Corporation found that almost half of graduating high school seniors didn’t feel competent to handle their own finances. Interestingly, the 2010 study also found that the more frequently kids talked to their parents about money, the more capable they felt in managing their own finances. What this suggests is that simply providing your kids an allowance isn’t enough. According to Lewis Mandell, Ph. D. and author of the 2008 Jump$tart survey, an allowance must be combined with regular discussions about how to manage the money."

While safety is one thing, your baby’s enjoyment and development is also a factor in choosing play equipment. Your baby will get more from an age appropriate product than an item that’s either too simple for their development level, which they’ll quickly get bored of, or too far beyond their skill level, which will see them feel frustrated. Another consideration is how the play equipment can help you! A baby rocker or bouncer is an ideal solution for keeping your newborn baby safe and content when awake and give you some hands-free time to get things done – be it household chores or even just a trip to the toilet or shower!To save yourself time and take the guesswork out of deciding what to buy, check out our age-based guides to play equipment: Baby play equipment suitable from birth Baby play equipment suitable from 3 months Baby play equipment suitable from 6 months Baby play equipment suitable from 12 months Baby play equipment suitable from 18 months By Cassandra Kempster-Roberts0 Comments Share Showing 0 of 0Load more posts Write a comment"

"text": "Age Appropriate Behavior – What Should Be My Expectations? February 11, 2009 by Matt Hellstrom 3 Comments Most of my articles come from real-life experiences, and this one is no different. I had just gone 15 rounds with 3 of my kids trying to get them to school on time, and I was worn out. It seemed to me that this had been a pretty regular thing lately, and I started thinking to myself “What am I doing wrong?” My mind went down that path a little way, but not too far, since that way was looking like this might be my fault. So, I took a little detour off that path and thought “Maybe I’m expecting too much of them for the age they are”. There we go! That was a much easier route for my mind to take, since it didn’t involve anyone being at fault, me or them! Cool! I figured I’d just get out my trusty Total Transformation workbook, find the section on age appropriate expectations, and I’d get my answer. ("

"text": "\"How much time should my children spend on the computer? By Katia Hoodicoff I encourage you to assess how much your children are on the computer and then consider the other things they do with their free time. Most child development experts recommend that a child's \"\"total screen time\"\" — which includes watching television and videos, surfing the Internet, and playing computer or video games — be limited to one to two hours a day. If your child is playing a favorite game for, say, 40 minutes a day and watching one program on television, and the homework and chores get done as well as some physical play time each day, then I wouldn't be overly concerned about curtailing the game-playing. On the other hand, if your child is glued to computer games for hours on end, it's time to set limits. Here are some suggestions for keeping video-game playing time in check: Set a time limit before the game begins. For instance, if you want your child to play for only 30 minutes, communicate the limit and set the kitchen timer. When the timer goes off, so does the game, no questions asked. If your child balks or tries to negotiate more time, calmly restate the time limit. If they refuse to stop playing, give the game console a \"\"time-out.\"\""

Community-Based Adult Services Effective April 1, 2012, a new program similar to ADHC – Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS) – has begun under California’s “Bridge to Reform” 1115 Medicaid waiver. Former ADHC participants who meet the more stringent CBAS eligibility standards will begin receiving CBAS services in approved CBAS centers. There are approximately 250 CBAS centers statewide. In addition to meeting Medi-Cal program and waiver requirements, CBAS providers must maintain an ADHC license. Under an interagency agreement, the ADHC (now CBAS) Program is administered between the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), and the California Department of Aging (CDA).

"text": "The Lifestyle of the Amish Community in Lancaster County Old Order Amish women and girls wear modest dresses made from solid-colored fabric with long sleeves and a full skirt (not shorter than half-way between knee and floor). These dresses are covered with a cape and apron and are fastened with straight pins or snaps. They never cut their hair, which they wear in a bun on the back of the head. On their heads they wear a white prayer covering if they are married and a black one if they are single. Amish women do not wear jewelry. Men and boys wear dark-colored suits, straight-cut coats without lapels, broadfall trousers, suspenders, solid-colored shirts, black socks and shoes, and black or straw broad-brimmed hats. Their shirts fasten with conventional buttons, but their suit coats and vests fasten with hooks and eyes. They do not have mustaches, but they grow beards after they marry. The Amish feel these distinctive clothes encourage humility and separation from the world. Their clothing is not a costume; it is an expression of their faith."

There is a heated debate concerning allowance: whether this weekly money should be tied to chores. Yes. Yes. Yes. If you just give your child an allowance because he or she is on the earth, you are supporting the concept of an entitlement program: I’m on the earth: therefore, I’m entitled to get what I want. The only way you get money is to earn it, not to whine and nag for it. Speaking of nagging, someone actually conducted a study to determine the number of times kids say that they have to nag a parent before they will give in and buy them what they want. Guess how many times they have to nag? If you said nine: you guessed right."

"text": "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Overview Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. Inattention means a person wanders off task, lacks persistence, has difficulty sustaining focus, and is disorganized; and these problems are not due to defiance or lack of comprehension. Hyperactivity means a person seems to move about constantly, including in situations in which it is not appropriate; or excessively fidgets, taps, or talks. In adults, it may be extreme restlessness or wearing others out with constant activity. Impulsivity means a person makes hasty actions that occur in the moment without first thinking about them and that may have high potential for harm; or a desire for immediate rewards or inability to delay gratification. An impulsive person may be socially intrusive and excessively interrupt others or make important decisions without considering the long-term consequences. Signs and Symptoms Inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity are the key behaviors of ADHD. Some people with ADHD only have problems with one of the behaviors, while others have both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Most children have the combined type of ADHD. In preschool, the most common ADHD symptom is hyperactivity."

A Home Rules Contract will not resolve the issues of feelings and emotions involved within the relationships between parents and teens.

By Women & Co Getty For Women & Co., by Lisa Kaplan Gordon, As Seen on TV All year, we give and give and give to our kids. Teens, with their growing sense of independence, are looking for ways to make some money. So, when they help around the house during summer break, should they get paid? Chores were an unpaid fact of life when I was a kid. But that was then. A recent British survey found that alarmingly few UK teens (arguably not unlike American teens) perform household chores. Most kids age 11 to 16 have never loaded a washing machine, ironed clothes or shopped for groceries; 30% have never cooked a meal. ( Insert gasp here! ) Is Paying for Chores a Good Idea?"

In his 1994 study, \"\"The Changing Character of Stepfamilies,\"\" Professor of Sociology Larry L. Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin challenges the common perception that the stepfamily is defined by marriage. His research states that: About half of the 60 million children under the age of thirteen in this country are currently living with one biological parent and that parent's current partner. Nearly half of all women, not just mothers, are likely to live in a stepfamily relationship, when we include living-together families in our definition of the stepfamily.

"text": "Growth and Development: Helping Your Child Build Self-Esteem Introduction Self-esteem is a person's core belief about himself or herself. A person's self-esteem is reflected in his or her actions, both in how as well as what he or she does. Although self-esteem varies from time to time, the pattern usually leans toward a healthy or unhealthy view of self. With healthy self-esteem, a person is more likely to succeed in life. Although building self-esteem is a lifelong process, the foundation of self-esteem is established in childhood. That foundation can do much to help a child deal with difficult life issues as they are encountered. Parents have the greatest influence on a child's belief about himself or herself. Letting your child know that he or she belongs, is doing well, and is contributing can help him or her develop healthy self-esteem. Keep these things in mind as you raise your child. Children sense that they belong by the way their parents talk to them and act toward them."

"text": "Observations A Comparison of Fast Food Fried Fish Sandwiches I n 1962, Cincinnati, Ohio-based Mc Donald’s franchisee Lou Groen had a problem. His local clientele was close to 90% Roman Catholic, which was causing his restaurant to founder mightily on Fridays and during Lent, the 40-day period leading up to Easter during which Roman Catholics abstain from eating meat. In those days, when your Mc Donald’s franchise was struggling, you didn’t noodle around with middle management. You got on the phone with old Ray Kroc, himself. Sympathetic to the struggles at Groen’s store, Kroc rather famously came up with a proposition. They would, as Groen had asked, begin testing a new fish sandwich to help the store get through those Friday rough patches. Kroc also insisted, however, that the restaurant also test his solution. Kroc thought the answer was to feed Catholics his “Hula Burger,” a slice of grilled pineapple with cheese on a cold bun, and demanded that both items be placed on the menu. Whichever sandwich sold best would be rolled out to the nationwide menu, and would become the first non-hamburger addition to the Mc Donald’s menu. Lou Groen’s Filet-O-Fish sandwich won in a landslide, saved his struggling franchise, and Mc Donald’s went on to sell approximately 300 million of the sandwiches per year."

He bought the fledgling restaurant chain in 1955 and grew it into the largest, most influential fast food chain in the world. Ray Kroc was born on October 5, 1902 to Czech-Americans in Chicago, Illinois. At the age of four, Kroc's father took him to phrenologist, a person who determines fate based on the shape of someone's skull. The Phrenologist told young Ray Kroc that he would someday work in food service. But, as the first World War erupted, Kroc became interested in learning how to drive ambulances for the war effort instead. The war, however, ended before he had a chance to test his training and Kroc looked elsewhere for employment. During the late 1950s, Kroc tried his hand at selling paper cups and even worked as a pianist for a short period of time before settling into a position as a milkshake machine salesman. He traveled around the country and sold milkshake machines to various different cafes and restaurants, all the while observing the layout and management of the industry. Kroc was convinced that many restaurants suffered from poor management and were not living up to their potential."

Contents [ hide ]1 Business careers2 Deaths3 In popular culture4 References5 External links Business careers [ edit]In 1937, the Mc Donald brothers opened a hot dog stand in Monrovia, California, inspired by a local hot dog stand that seemed to be the only profitable business in town, and which primarily served patrons at a local racetrack. However, the stand had few customers after racing season ended. Maurice decided to open a bigger hot dog stand in San Bernardino, a large working-class town approximately 50 miles eastward, with a population of approximately 100,000 people. After several banks declined to lend them the money needed for this venture, Bank of America finally approved, and in 1940, with $5,000 in capital, they opened a drive-in restaurant on the corner of 1398 North E Street and West 14th Street ( 34.1255°N 117.2946°W ). The new restaurant proved a surprise success and the brothers were soon making $40,000 a year."

[ 1]A fast food restaurant, also known as a Quick Service Restaurant or QSR within the industry itself, is a specific type of restaurant characterized both by its fast food cuisine and by minimal table service. Food served in fast food restaurants typically caters to a \"\" meat-sweet diet \"\" and is offered from a limited menu; is cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot; is finished and packaged to order; and is usually available ready to take away, though seating may be provided. Fast food restaurants are usually part of a restaurant chain or franchise operation, which provisions standardized ingredients and/or partially prepared foods and supplies to each restaurant through controlled supply channels. The term \"\"fast food\"\" was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam–Webster in 1951. [ 2]Arguably the first fast food restaurants originated in the United States with A&W in 1916 and White Castle in 1921. [ 3] Today, American-founded fast food chains such as Mc Donald's and KFC are multinational corporations with outlets across the globe. Variations on the fast food restaurant concept include fast casual restaurants and catering trucks. Fast casual restaurants have higher sit-in ratios, and customers can sit and have their orders brought to them."

"text": "\"\"\"Over There\"\": Walt Disney's World War I Adventure In celebration of next Monday's Memorial Day, Museum Volunteer Thomas Price has penned the history of Walt's experience in joining the army and serving time in World War I. In 1918, when George M. Cohan song “Over There” entreated young men to “grab your gun, on the run...do your bit, show your grit...make your Daddy glad ...make your Mother proud,” thousands heeded this call. Four years into World War I, a young Walt Disney was one of them. Filled with patriotic enthusiasm, and captivated by recruitment ads like “The Red Cross versus the Iron Cross,” young men barely past boyhood signed up to travel overseas and fight in The Great War. As Walt reflected much later, “The things I did during those ten months I was overseas added up to a lifetime of experience... I know being on my own at an early age... made me more self reliant.” Exactly how he got there, however, is a story unto itself. Although World War I began for Europeans in 1914, America initially took little notice of it. In fact, the pre-war U. S. Army was composed of a scattered handful of small regiments and the state-controlled National Guard militia. When the U. S. finally declared war on Germany in 1917, General John J. Pershing was given command of the American Expeditionary Force to fight overseas. As the Yanks were shipped “over there”, they were given the nickname “Doughboys.” Fighting trenchfoot and “cooties”, or body lice, and later influenza, they were on the offensive by 1918 involved in heavy fighting in France."

Kroc would later purchase the company from the brothers. The original mascot was a chef wearing a large chef’s hat. This was replaced by the golden arches everyone knows today in 1962. While the current organization credits Ray Kroc with the “founding” of the company in 1955, Mc Donald’s already had 8 locations when Kroc came to work for the company.

"text": "Menstruation Onset at Pubertyby Elizabeth (U. S. A)Menstruation, cyclic monthly bleeding, starts in teenage on attainment of puberty. Can I tell when my daughter will get her first menstrual period? The Expert, Ren Chats, Answers: Average age for the onset of menses is 12 years & 9 months to 13 years & 9 months. This is generally true for all ethnic groups and all geographical regions in the world. The age at which first sign of initiation of puberty is noticed relates with the age at which the first period sets in. Tiny breast buds are the first external sexual character noticed around 10 yrs of age. About 6 to 12 months later sparse growth of pubic hair is seen. Interval between the first period and the appearance of breast buds is usually 24 to 30 mo, but can be as long as 6 years. On the other hand, 8 - 10 percent of normal girls get their first period even before 11 years of age. Therefore, age at menarche can vary from 9 to 16 years."

"text": "\"Overview Conduct disorder (CD) is one of the most difficult and intractable mental health problems in children and adolescents. CD involves a number of problematic behaviors, including oppositional and defiant behaviors and antisocial activities (eg, lying, stealing, running away, physical violence, sexually coercive behaviors). A preventable predisposing factor for the development of all mental health disorders in children and adolescents has been found in a cross-sectional survey involving second-hand smoke exposure in youth who are not themselves cigarette smokers. The study adjusted for poverty, race/ethnicity, sex, asthma, hay fever, and maternal smoking; serum cotinine level was positively associated with CD, especially for non-Hispanic white males. [ 1]Males with conduct disorder and aggression have brain-based differences that resemble the differences found in persons with addiction, as compared with normally developing controls, regarding brain structure and function. [ 2]Recent studies have shown that females with conduct disorder as compared with subjects without conduct disorder have similar abnormal (disrupted) brain function to that previously observed in males, who tend to have increased aggression and conduct disorder; however, more research is needed to tease out factors such as child abuse that might cause similar findings. [ 3]These differences may be due to genetic differences in DNA methylation, [ 4] which result in deficits in the perception of emotions and impairment in affect regulation, and this may cause early impairment in attachment that might possibly further interfere with the normative development of empathy, despite intellectual capacity for those cognitive functions. [ 5]Conduct-disordered youth exhibit a decreased dopamine response to reward and increased risk-taking behaviors related to abnormally disrupted frontal activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), orbitofrontal cortices (OFC), and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) that worsens over time due to dysphoria activation of brain stress systems and increases in corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). [ 6]Areas deep in the brain, especially the amygdala and insula, appear to exhibit abnormal function reflected in overall decreases in resting state connectivity and smaller overall size. [ 7] This decrease in brain structure and functionality is also seen in youth with other diagnoses such as in cases of child abuse and neglect, causing reactive attachment disorder and temper dysregulation as well as schizophrenia, which makes careful attention to the differential of rule-breaking behaviors important for accurate diagnosis.

Although it’s known to affect adults 65 years and older, up to 5 percent of those diagnosed have early onset AD. This generally means that the person diagnosed is in their 40s or 50s. It can be difficult to obtain a true diagnosis at this age because many symptoms may appear to be a result of typical life events such as stress. As the disease affects the brain, it can cause a decline in memory, reasoning, and thinking abilities. The decline is typically slow, but this can vary on a case-by-case basis. What Are the Symptoms of Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease? AD is the most common form of dementia. Dementia is a general term for the loss of memory functions or other mental abilities that affect your daily life."

The estrogen withdrawal of menopause, however, is a significant hormonal transition, and one with numerous physiologic ramifications. The normal immunosenescence evidenced in both sexes may be modulated in some degree by changing levels and forms of endogenous estrogen. The production of cytokines IL-6, IL-1, and TNF-a increase after menopause, as does the physiological response to those cytokines. [ 10] There is a postmenopausal decrease in CD4 T and B lymphocytes, as well as decrease in the cytotoxic activity of natural killer cells. [ 31]In vitro analysis of three different T-cell signaling proteins (Janus kinase 2 [JAK2], Janus kinase 3 [JAK3], and CD3-z) found that postmenopausal levels were substantially reduced compared with premenopausal levels. [ 11] In addition, Jurkat T cells exposed to premenopausal levels of E2 also formed significantly more IL-2 producing colonies compared with those exposed to premenopausal levels (75.3 ± 2.2 vs 55.7 ± 2.1 [p < 0.0001]).

"text": "Women’s Health Menopause From a purely biological standpoint a woman’s life may be divided into those years of development leading up childbearing capacity (birth to the onset of menses), her reproductive years (generally accepted to be age 15 – 45) and the years that follow. The years that follow represent a transition point in the aging process. During the first part of the transition (age 45 – approximately age 51) women still menstruate but begin to show a sharp decline in fertility (very few women have the capacity to become pregnant after age 45) though they may still ovulate and menstruate. During the latter part of the transition ovulation ceases entirely, menstrual flow is brought to a halt and the signs and symptoms of menopause become evident. The menopausal years become a time of transition—a time in which women reassess not just their bodies, but their roles as mothers, partners and members of their communities. Healthy women may spend 40-50% of their lives in the years that follow menopause. Unfortunately, we live in a culture that devalues women (and men) as we age and the result is that many women may dread these years associating them with a loss of femininity, sexuality and vitality. However, these years also provide women with an increased sense of perspective, wisdom, purpose, self-esteem and freedom. Curiously, while many younger women dread the aging process few in their 50s, 60s and beyond would want to “go back”. The knowledge and insight gained by aging women is well-worth the price of seeing an “older” woman in the mirror."

It is important to be able to educate young patients and their parents regarding what to expect of a first period and about the range for normal cycle length of subsequent menses. It is equally important for clinicians to have an understanding of bleeding patterns in girls and adolescents, the ability to differentiate between normal and abnormal menstruation, and the skill to know how to evaluate young patients’ conditions appropriately. Using the menstrual cycle as an additional vital sign adds a powerful tool to the assessment of normal development and the exclusion of pathological conditions.menarche menstruation adolescent INTRODUCTIONYoung patients and their parents frequently have difficulty assessing what constitutes normal menstrual cycles or patterns of bleeding. Girls may be unfamiliar with what is normal and may not inform their parents about menstrual irregularities or missed menses. Additionally, girls often are reluctant to discuss this very private topic with a parent, although they may confide in another trusted adult. Some girls will seek medical attention for cycle variations that actually fall within the normal range. Others are unaware that their bleeding patterns are abnormal and may be attributable to significant underlying medical issues with the potential for long-term health consequences. Clinicians also may be unsure about normal ranges for menstrual cycle length and for amount and duration of flow through adolescence. Clinicians who are confident in their understanding of early menstrual bleeding patterns may convey information to their patients more frequently and with less prompting; girls who have been educated about menarche and early menstrual patterns will experience less anxiety when they occur."

It is initiated by hormonal signals from the brain to the gonads: the ovaries in a girl, the testes in a boy. In response to the signals, the gonads produce hormones that stimulate libido and the growth, function, and transformation of the brain, bones, muscle, blood, skin, hair, breasts, and sex organs. Physical growth —height and weight—accelerates in the first half of puberty and is completed when an adult body has been developed. Until the maturation of their reproductive capabilities, the pre-pubertal physical differences between boys and girls are the external sex organs. On average, girls begin puberty around ages 10–11 and end puberty around 15–17; boys begin around ages 11–12 and end around 16–17. ["

For permission to reprint or reproduce multiple copies, please see our copyright policy. Principal author (s)C Cummings; Canadian Paediatric Society, Community Paediatrics Committee Paediatr Child Health 2012;17 (6):331-3Abstract Problems of sleep initiation and maintenance occur in 15% to 25% of children and adolescents. Studies of the benefits of melatonin for sleep disorders have been published for healthy populations, for children and adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, for children and youth with autism, and for several other special populations. These studies demonstrate benefit with minimal side effects in both short- and long-term use. However, all studies have involved small numbers of subjects and few have studied long-term use. Further studies are needed to confirm the usefulness and safety of melatonin for sleep disorders in children and adolescents. Key Words: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder; Autism; Developmental disabilities; Melatonin; Sleep disorders Difficulties in initiating and maintaining sleep affect 15% to 25% of children and adolescents [1]. Insomnia refers to loss of daytime function resulting from unsatisfactory sleep. The symptoms of insomnia include fatigue, inattention, irritability, lack of energy, and anxiety. Chronic insomnia can lead to depression, learning difficulties and poor school performance [2]. As well, chronic insomnia has the potential to affect the functioning of families and not just the child whose sleeping pattern is the object of concern."

MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY BENEFITS1) What is the definition of disability? Disability is defined in the Social Security Act as the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.2) What is a Medically Determinable Impairment? Medically determinable impairment is an impairment that results from anatomical, physiological, or psychological abnormalities which can be shown by medically acceptable clinical and laboratory diagnostic techniques. A physical or mental impairment must be established by medical evidence consisting of signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings - not only by the individual's statement of symptoms.3) What determines who may be eligible for disability benefits? Under the Social Security Administration's (SSA) disability insurance program (title II of the Act), there are three basic categories of individuals who may be able to qualify for benefits on the basis of disability:a disabled insured worker under the age of 65;a person who became disabled before age 22 who is a dependent of a deceased insured parent or a parent entitled to title II disability or retirement benefits; anda disabled widow or widower age 50-60 if the deceased spouse was insured under Social Security. Under title XVI, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), there are two basic categories under which a financially needy person can get payments on the basis of disability:an adult age 18 or over who is disabled anda child (under age 18) who is disabled.4) What is the difference between title II and title XVI? Title II provides for payment of disability benefits to individuals who are \"\"insured\"\" under the Act by virtue of their contributions to the Social Security Trust Fund through the Social Security tax on their earnings, as well as to certain disabled dependents of insured individuals. Title XVI provides for SSI payments to individuals (including children under age 18) who are disabled and have limited income and resources. SSI is not the same as Social Security, even though the program is run by the SSA."

Herpes zoster (shingles) has been recognized since ancient times and was described in the early medical literature. Clinical observations of the relationship between varicella and herpes zoster were made in 1888 by Von Bokay, when susceptible children acquired varicella after contact with herpes zoster. Varicella virus (VZV) was isolated from vesicular fluid of both chickenpox and zoster lesions in cell culture by Weller in 1954. Subsequent laboratory studies of the virus have led to the development of a live attenuated varicella vaccine, Oka strain, in Japan in the 1970s. The vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective in healthy and immunocompromised children, and healthy adults. It will soon be licensed in the U. S., probably for use in healthy children. Varicella Zoster Virus VZV is a member of the herpes virus group, (alpha) herpes virus 3. It is a DNA virus."

The disorders typically manifest early in development, often before the child enters grade school, and are characterized by developmental deficits that produce impairments of personal, social, academic, or occupational functioning. The range of developmental deficits varies from very specific limitations of learning or control of executive functions to global impairments of social skills or intelligence. The neurodevelopmental disorders frequently co-occur; for example, individuals with autism spectrum disorder often have intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder), and many children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) also have a specific learning disorder. For some disorders, the clinical presentation includes symptoms of excess as well as deficits and delays in achieving expected milestones. For example, autism spectrum disorder is diagnosed only when the characteristic deficits of social communication are accompanied by excessively repetitive behaviors, restricted interests, and insistence on sameness. Intellectual disability (intellectual developmental disorder) is characterized by deficits in general mental abilities, such as reasoning, problem solving, planning, abstract thinking, judgment, academic learning, and learning from experience. The deficits result in impairments of adaptive functioning, such that the individual fails to meet standards of personal independence and social responsibility in one or more aspects of daily life, including communication, social participation, academic or occupational functioning, and personal independence at home or in community settings. Global developmental delay, as its name implies, is diagnosed when an individual fails to meet expected developmental milestones in several areas of intellectual functioning. The diagnosis is used for individuals who are unable to undergo systematic assessments of intellectual functioning, including children who are too young to participate in standardized testing."

"text": "\"When Can You Leave a Child Home Alone? The 1990 movie Home Alone may have poked fun at what could happen when an eight-year old boy is accidentally left home alone, yet in reality it is not uncommon for thousands of American children to be left home alone on any given day. Children who are left home alone - sometimes known as \"\"latchkey kids\"\" -- are often left without adult supervision for reasons beyond a parent's control and, in some unfortunate situations, out of neglect or child abuse. For anyone considering whether it is alright to leave a child at home alone, there are important safety and legal guidelines to consider before leaving any child unsupervised for any extended period of time. Laws for Leaving a Child Home Alone Only a couple of states have laws that specify the age when a child can be left home alone, including Maryland (age 8) and Illinois (age 14). However, most states have guidelines with the Department of Health and Human Services or other child protective agencies that test a child's ability to be left home alone. Factors may include the child's age and maturity, the overall safety of the surrounding area/circumstances, and arrangements made to secure the child's safety. Below are general guidelines to follow when considering the age range for leaving a child home alone.7 & under - Should not be left alone for any period of time. This may include leaving children unattended in cars, playgrounds, and backyards. The determining consideration would be the dangers in the environment and the ability of the caretaker to intervene.8 to 10 years - Should not be left alone for more than 1½ hours and only during daylight and early evening hours.11 to 12 years - May be left alone for up to 3 hours but not late at night or in circumstances requiring inappropriate responsibility.13 to 15 years - May be left unsupervised, but not overnight.16 to 17 years - May be left unsupervised (in some cases, for up to two consecutive overnight periods)."

Answer by Rkelley Confidence votes 3.8KIm not sure but I would say about 12 or 13 years old. That's what it is over here in Texas. Hope that helped a little. Legal Age The age at which a child can be left at home alone is only legislated in two states, Maryland and Illinois. The legal check is whether or not the child is safe and has the ability to take care of themselves. Most authorities agree that leaving a 12 year old alone at home for an hour or two is acceptable, but they should not be responsible for other children. Legal Age (follow up)There are very few states in the U. S. with legal minimum ages for children home alone, but many state agencies have published guidelines. Georgia, Illiniois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with specific ages mentioned in their laws. 12 years of age appears to be the most common recommendation."

"text": "Common sense tells us most 13-year olds are perfectly capable of staying home alone after school while their parent is at work, but in Illinois, common sense isn’t the law. Any parents who leave their children age 13 or younger home alone may be guilty of neglect under Illinois state law. That’s because Illinois law states that “any minor under the age of 14 years whose parent or other person responsible for the minor’s welfare leaves the minor without supervision for an unreasonable period of time without regard for the mental or physical health, safety, or welfare of that minor” is neglected. It’s the strictest law of its kind in the nation. Only a handful of other states have a minimum age for leaving children home alone. For example, three states list 12 as the minimum age for leaving children home alone, while three states set the minimum age at 8. Kansas lists the minimum age at 6. At least 30 states have no minimum age for when a child can be left home alone. While the law in Illinois defines neglect only where the child under 14 years old is left without supervision for an unreasonable period of time without regard for his or her mental or physical, health, safety or welfare, it does not define “unreasonable period of time” or “regard for the mental or physical health, safety or welfare.” Rather, it provides a non-exhaustive list of 15 factors for a court to determine."

By Robin Mc Clure Updated November 26, 2017Share Pin Email Print Cindy Prins/Moment/Getty Images Letting an older child stay home while you run a quick errand or even for an hour or two after school until you get home from work is often more cost-effective and practical than trying to find childcare. With appropriate rules and maturity level, a home-alone arrangement can work. However, there are numerous safety and behavior pitfalls to avoid. What Age Is Considered Safe? The age at which a child may legally be left home alone varies from state to state or may not be spelled out for your location. Kids Health.org notes that it's not a good idea to leave kids younger than 10 at home alone. But the age at which a child is ready will vary, even for siblings.

"text": "\"Children at Home Alone Children At Home At some point during the school years, parents begin to consider the possibility of having children care for themselves before or after school rather than being cared for by others. Self-care can be a rewarding experience for children who are ready for it. It can help them develop independence and responsibility and can give them confidence in their own abilities. However, if the child is not ready, self-care can be a frightening and potentially dangerous situation. How can you tell if your child is ready? Unfortunately, there is no magic age at which children develop the maturity and good sense needed to stay alone. However, there are some signs that show your child may be ready. Your child should: Desire - be the first one to indicate a desire and willingness to stay alone. Children who are easily frightened or express an unwillingness to stay alone are probably not ready for this responsibility. Responsible - be showing signs of accepting the responsibility and being aware of the needs of others."

"text": "\"Tennessee Laws for Leaving Teens Alone at Home Overnightby SHARON PERKINS June 13, 2017It's a huge step to leave your teen home alone overnight. Despite his earnest promises, you might not be able to keep visions of police visits and property damage from dancing in your head. States have different regulations about when it's OK to leave teens alone overnight, which may change from time to time. Tennessee, like many states, doesn't offer specific ages for leaving a teen home alone. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Tennessee Regulations The state of Tennessee regulations, listed on the Tennessee State courts website, leave the decision on when children can be left at home without supervision in the hands of parents. The regulations do state that children under the age of 10 should not be left home alone at any time without supervision, but that older teenage children can, in most cases, be left home alone for short periods of time. Using Your Judgment Since the state leaves the decision of overnight stays alone up to you, you need to evaluate your child's abilities before making a decision. If you have more than one child, you know that what works for one child might not work for another at the same age. Your teen should be capable of calling for help in an emergency, be comfortable staying alone overnight and have someone nearby to turn to for back-up help if something goes wrong. He also needs to know how to reach you quickly."

The following is taken directly from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services website found in the related links below. Supervision of children is basic to the prevention of harm. Adequate supervision means an adult caregiver is accountable for the child's care. Although, there is no Texas law that defines a specific age at which a child may be left home alone, there are several factors that should be taken into consideration when deciding how closely to supervise a child, including:the age, emotional maturity and capability of the child;layout and safety of the home, play area, or other setting;neighborhood circumstances, hazards, and risks;the child's ability to respond to illness, fire, weather, or other types of emergencies; andwhether the child has a mental, physical, or medical disability. The number of children left unsupervised, the accessibility to other responsible adults, the length of time or frequency with which the child is left alone, and the child's knowledge of the parent's whereabouts are additional relevant factors. Legal Age There are very few states in the U. S. with legal minimum ages for children home alone, but many state agencies have published guidelines.

"text": "\"The Kids At What Age Is It Okay for Kids to Stay at Home by Themselves?by Suzanne Robin, RN Dec 11, 2012If your 10-year-old is begging to stay home alone for a few hours after school rather than go to the after-school program, you may be in a quandry over whether or not to let him. Kids are ready to stay alone for a few hours at wildly different ages, depending on their maturity level, their quotient of common sense and, last but not least, the laws in your state, if any, on the legal age for leaving children without an adult present. State Laws Because state laws are more than a guideline—they're a legal requirement that could land you in court if something goes wrong—it's always best to start there when deciding when it's time for a little freedom on the home front. Only a few states have laws mandating when children can be left alone, according to the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Maryland, for example, specifies that children must be at least 8 years old to stay alone but also lists a number of stipulations that parents should consider, such as the duration of time alone, the child's access to help and whether he understands what to do in an emergency. Illinois lists the age as 14, but also qualifies this by saying the amount of time left, whether other kids are present and the circumstances also should be considered. Your Child's Desires Some kids love the idea of a few hours alone in the house, while others are paralyzed with fear at the thought. If your child is on the young side for being left alone—age 10 or 11—don't push the idea if you know they're apprehensive about it. Most authorities believe that the average 12-year-old can handle staying at home alone for a few hours, according to the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. To assess your child's readiness for this step, according to child psychologist and author Dr. Ellinor Burke, \"\"Give the child several opportunities at being home alone."

Being trusted to stay home alone can be a positive experience for a child who is mature and well prepared. It can boost the child’s confidence and promote independence and responsibility. However, children face real risks when left unsupervised. Those risks, as well as a child’s ability to deal with challenges, must be considered. This factsheet provides some tips to help parents and caregivers when making this important decision. Depending on the laws and child protective policies in your area, leaving a young child unsupervised may be considered neglect, especially if doing so places the child in danger.

In 2002, “Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General” found that dental caries (tooth decay or cavities) is the most chronic childhood ailment – five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever. In 2005, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that tooth decay is the most chronic disease among children aged five to 17. Oral health problems affecting infants are no less serious. Diet and the Oral Health Implications What your children eat affects their teeth. Sugars (found in cake, cookies, candy, milk and juice) and starches (found in pretzels and potato chips) can cause tooth decay. Add to this the fact that it is more difficult to clean babies’ and children’s teeth and you can see why debris tends to remain in children’s teeth, resulting in bacteria growth and, ultimately, tooth decay. Although baby teeth (deciduous or primary teeth) are eventually replaced with permanent teeth, healthy baby teeth are fundamental to a child’s overall health and development.

Iron is a mineral that your body uses to make hemoglobin (pronounced “hee-muh-glow-bin”). Hemoglobin is found in your red blood cells and helps carry oxygen to all parts of your body. Without enough iron, your body will not have enough hemoglobin, and you may develop iron deficiency anemia (pronounced “ah-nee-me-ah”). Symptoms of anemia include feeling tired all the time and getting sick more easily. Babies and children need iron for healthy growth and development, including brain development. How much iron do I need? The amount of iron you need depends on your age, sex, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. To meet your needs, aim to eat the following amounts of iron each day, which is also called the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for Iron (Daily)Age (years) Male Female1 to 3 7 mg 7 mg4 to 8 10 mg 10 mg9 to 13 8 mg 8 mg14 to 18 11 mg 15 mg19 to 49 8 mg 18 mg Over 50 8 mg 8 mg Pregnancy N/A 27 mg Breastfeeding under 19 N/A 10 mg Breastfeeding 19 and over N/A 9 mgmg = milligrams Vegetarians need to eat almost twice as much iron as people who eat meat, fish, and poultry because the iron from plant foods is not absorbed by the body as well as iron from animal foods.

"text": "\"Introduction What distinguishes beans from other plants? Beans have pods with seeds inside them. Aside from beans this includes peas, lentils and some people even include the peanut in this category. All legumes are able to take large amounts of nitrogen from the air and convert it to protein in the seeds. They also return large amounts of nitrogen to the ground and because of this the green plants are sometimes plowed under; as an organic fertilizer. Right along with the early grains, legumes were among the first crops cultivated and date back to the Bronze Age. Beans have been discovered in the tombs of the Pharaohs and Aztecs. The ancient Egyptians considered beans to be an emblem of life and had temples dedicated to them. Later, the Greeks and Romans used them in festivals to worship their gods. The Roman's four most distinguished families were named after beans; Fabius (fava bean), Lentulus (lentil), Piso (pea), and Cicero (chickpea)."

"text": "Food & Nutrition Getting Kids to Eat More Vegetables By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated January 01, 2018Share Pin Email Print How do you get your kids to eat their vegetables?. Photo © Monika Adamczyk Most parents understand that vegetables should be an important part of their child's diet because vegetables are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Unfortunately, many parents have a very hard time getting their kids to eat few if any vegetables on a regular basis. How Many Vegetables Should Kids Eat? We all know that kids should eat their vegetables. But just how many vegetables should kids eat every day? There has always been a general rule of 3-5 'servings' of vegetables each day, but the Choose My Plate guidelines offer much more specific recommendations based on how old your child is:2-3 year olds (toddlers) - 1 to 1 1/2 cups of vegetables each day4-8 year olds - 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups of vegetables each day9-13 year old girls - 2 to 4 cups of vegetables each day9-13 year old boys - 2 1/2 to 4 cups of vegetables each day14-18 year old girls - 2 1/2 to 4 cups of vegetables each day14-18 year old boys - 3 to 4 cups of vegetables each day Why such a big range at each age? That's because how many vegetables your kids should eat, like most other foods has a lot to do with your child's activity level. An active child who is burning more calories needs more vegetables and other foods than an inactive child. The Choose My Plate Daily Checklist can help you come up with a daily food plan, including how many vegetables your kids should eat, based on their calorie level."

The amounts are general recommendations only, so don't worry if your little one eats a bit more or less than suggested. It's always a good idea to discuss your plan for starting solids with your child’s doctor before getting started. Also, you don't have to introduce foods to your child in any special order. If you want to give your baby a taste of tofu at age 6 months, go ahead, even though it's not listed on our chart until age 8 months. And while cereal is a traditional first food in the United States, it's fine to start with mashed fruits or vegetables instead. In most cases, you don't even have to wait to introduce highly allergenic foods like eggs, fish, and peanuts.

This can be quite tough for your little darling as irregular bowels bring forth a lot of complications, tears and discomfort too. Constipation normally becomes common when you introduce your baby to solid food or formula feed. But the good news is it is a temporary condition that can be treated with adequate alteration in diet and other simple curative remedies, as explained in this article. What Causes Constipation In Babies? Before you ascertain the causes of infant constipation, first understand what is normal for your baby. Does she have a bowel movement every time she feeds? Or does she wait for a day or two in between? Typically, a formula fed baby passes atleast one stool everyday, while for exclusively breastfed babies, the pattern is quite irregular. However, you will be able to tune in to her digestive behavior after a little observation."

Grasping development in baby not only makes playing more fun for the baby but also helps him develop more advanced skills such as using a fork or spoon and manipulating small toys with their hands. Grasping is also one of the steps that your baby takes towards doing things by herself such as brushing their teeth, reading, writing and drawing. Read on to learn when and how grasping develops in your baby and how you can assist him in the process. Stages of Grasping Development in Baby There are two types of gripping or grasping that develops in a baby known as the pincer grasp and the palmar grasp. The palmar grasp is characterized by using the whole hand to grasp an object and pick it up or hold it. In the pincer grasp, the infant uses his first finger and thumb to pick up and hold an object. When It Develops Newborn babies have an innate capability to grasp things; however, it requires at least a year for them to develop coordination for picking up and holding things securely in their hands. Babies start developing grasping by 3 months, which becomes better with each passing month. How It Develops Timeline Grasping Development in Baby Newborn to 2 Months Newborn babies have an innate grasping reflex; however, for the first 2 months, these movements are involuntary and instinctual."

So, experts recommend that a mother-to-be choose a variety of healthy foods and beverages to provide the important nutrients a baby needs for growth and development. Key pregnancy nutrition A pregnant woman needs more calcium, folic acid, iron and protein than a woman who is not expecting, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Here is why these four nutrients are important. Folic acid, also known as folate when the nutrient is found in foods, is a B vitamin that is crucial in helping to prevent birth defects in the baby's brain and spinal cord, known as neural tube defects. It may be hard to get the recommended amount of folic acid from diet alone. For that reason the March of Dimes, an organization dedicated to preventing birth defects, recommends that women who are trying to have a baby take a daily vitamin supplement containing 400 micrograms of folic acid per day for at least one month before becoming pregnant. During pregnancy, they advise women to increase the amount of folic acid to 600 micrograms a day, an amount commonly found in a daily prenatal vitamin. Food sources: leafy green vegetables, fortified or enriched cereals, breads and pastas, beans, citrus fruits. Calcium is a mineral used to build a baby's bones and teeth."

Unless the baby squirrel is obviously injured, every attempt should be made to reunite the squirrel with its mother. It is all right to pick up and examine the baby to make sure it is ok. Human scents will not prevent a mother squirrel from taking back her offspring. If the baby is cold, but appears otherwise healthy, the baby should be warmed up before an attempt is made to reunite it with its mother. This can be accomplished by placing the baby in a box with a t-shirt (Do not use a towel as they can entangle and injure an animal) over a heating pad or other improvised heating device such as a sandwich bag or water bottle filled with hot water and inserted into a sock. Once warm, the baby squirrel should be taken out to the tree from which it fell and placed in an improvised nest such as the box and t-shirt used or a hanging planter that the baby cannot climb or fall out of. Include some natural nest materials from the area (i.e. leaves or dry grass). Ideally, the nest should be mounted to a branch 8-10 feet up the tree. If the area is definitely safe from pets and other possible predators, and a branch cannot be found or reached, the nest can also be placed at the base of the tree from which the baby fell."

If at all possible, please postpone trimming trees and branches with nests in them. Wait until the babies are old enough to leave the nest on their own. An average nest of squirrel babies may consist of 2-4 young , but can even be as many as 5 -6. When first born, the babies are hairless, we call them “pinkies” and their eyes are closed. They are totally helpless and need their mothers for warmth and nourishment. The babies won’t open their eyes for 4-5 weeks, and they are not able to regulate their body heat until about 6-7 weeks of age. Many orphaned baby squirrels brought to Native Animal Rescue for rehabilitation are brought due to human interference. A mother squirrel who is frightened off her nest by tree trimmers, leaves her young very vulnerable to the elements and to other predatory animals."

The grey squirrel is the most common of the two species found locally in the Lower Mainland. The grey squirrel is originally from eastern North America and was introduced into Stanley Park in 1912. The grey squirrel population remained relatively contained until the late 1980's. That is when they spread like wildfire throughout the entire Lower Mainland into the Fraser Valley due to trapping and relocation practices of many homeowners and pest control companies. The following are some more squirrel facts for Vancouver homeowners: Habitat Urban: Although the grey squirrel is found in parks and woodland areas, they adapt quite easily to urban environments, taking up residence in and around buildings. They become very accustomed to utilizing attics and chimneys for nesting sites. Breeding Twice per year: Female squirrels can mate only twice a year, but males can mate at any time. Often, several males will attempt to mate with the same female. They try to attract her attention by slapping the bark of trees with their paws and chattering loudly."

This will tell you what you should and should not do until you get in touch with a rehabber in your area. You can also read the page on Stabilization for information on stabilizing the baby until you reach a rehabber. The next thing is to start looking for a licensed rehabber by going to the Squirrel Connections page. Back To The Top Q. Where do I put the baby while looking for a rehabber? Can I leave it outside? A. You should NEVER leave the baby outside, they should be brought in the house. If you are concerned about pets/children, you can place the baby squirrel in a small box with non-frayed toweling and put them in a separate room in your house where you can close the door."

The southern flying squirrel is also found as far north as Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick and as far south as Honduras. However, it is relatively uncommon to find this species inhabiting the Canadian provinces. ( Dolan and Carter, 1977; Linzey and Nature Serve (Hammerson G.), 2008)Four subspecies of Glaucomys volans, including G. v. volans, G. v.texensis, G. v. saturatus, and G. v. querceti inhabit North American forests north of Mexico. Although these four species are specific to different geographic ranges, G. v. querceti, G. v. saturatus, and G. v. texensis, from east to west, in the south and G. v. volans in the north, no evidence has shown that the four subspecies are distinctly geographically separated from one another. Six isolated subspecies have been found to inhabit mountainous regions of Mexico and Central America. The subspecies G. v. madrensis inhabit the Sierra Madre Occidenal in areas of western Chihuahua and eastern Sinaloa. The next subspecies, G. v. herreranus inhabit the Sierra Madre Oriental throughout regions north and east of Mexico City, as far south as Veracruz. The range of G. v. chontali is limited to a small area southwest of Oaxaca. Glaucomys volans oaxacensis is found throughout the Madre del Sur, as far south as Oaxaca and as far north as Guerrero."

"text": "\"Do the same House Wrens nest in the same house every year? We got one of those gourd wren houses years ago, hang it in the same spot at the eaves of the porch roof, clean it out of nest materials every fall, and wrens come back each spring. Are these the same adults, the offspring who were born in that nest or just random adult wrens? Also, the gourd house came with an entry hole about an inch or more and a small stick under for a perch. This year we got another one, but this had no perch and as I could not see how any bird could get into, especially as the surface had an ultra smooth finish, I drilled it and added a dowel for a perch. The hole is only about 7/8 inch, but they seem to go in and out OK. ~ Averill Park, NY The House Wren’s bubbly song and habit for eating masses of bugs make it a very popular bird at many homes. As a result the birds range and population in North America has grown with urban sprawl. Like the House Finch, they were named for their preference for nesting near peoples’ houses. The average lifespan of a House Wren is about 7 years old, but that is difficult to verify because wrens don’t always return to the same area every year."

A baby squirrel has the best chance of survival when it is cared for by its mother.

Their tails are smaller and flatter than other tree squirrels and can be yellowish-gray or rusty red, with a band black band along it. Their underside is all white or cream, instead of Douglas squirrels, which are rust-colored or dark on their bellies. Male and female red squirrels are very difficult to tell apart.

"text": "Tree squirrel nests can be seen high in trees and look like oversized clumps of leaves and twigs. The hollow interiors usually measure eight inches in diameter and are lined with leaves, grass, moss, and shreds of bark. Actually quite effective at keeping squirrels warm and dry, their nests are prefect for raising babies or huddling together for warmth during winter. The exterior shell is typically composed of sticks woven together with leaves for insulation. Location & Construction Squirrels begin nest construction by choosing sturdy spots high in trees, usually between two strong limbs or near the trunk's base where limbs branch off. Oaks, beeches, elms, and maples are some of their preferred nesting locations. Actual nest construction involves weaving spheres of twigs with narrow entrance holes and gathering insulation, such as leaves, moss, and grass, to be knitted into the twig structure. Infestation & Removal If they are able to gain access to houses, squirrels will make their nests in chimneys or attics, which causes grief for property owners. Squirrels are messy and noisy, inflict structural damage on buildings, and spread diseases via their feces and urine. Upon hearing squirrels in roofs or chimneys, individuals should contact the animal control experts at Critter Control to remove the creatures before infestations get out of hand."

You can look around and see a squirrel in almost every tree, and every park, and now in this article you are going to find out when squirrels have babies, how long they stay with their mother, what to do if you encounter a baby squirrel by chance and why,most of the time,you don’t see them. Squirrels usually have 2 litters per year. The first litter that they have is born between the months of February and April, and the second litter that they have happens between the months of August and September. Usually a litter of squirrels isn’t very large, on average the female squirrel will have between 2-5 offspring. The baby squirrels are born furless and helpless, just like most other rodents. Squirrels are raised primarily by the mother because she forces the male squirrel to leave so she can raise the offspring by herself. Baby squirrels also rely heavily on their mothers very rich milk to grow strong and healthy. Most babies in the first litter will leave the nest around April and sometimes as late as May. By this time, the babies are strong enough and fluffy enough to leave the nest. Babies born in the second litter will leave the nest in late summer."

Don’t they normally have their young in the spring, not in the fall? Guess this means we’ll have even more squirrels chewing on our porch furniture!A. You’re probably talking about the common eastern gray squirrel, although we do also have red squirrels in our area. Gray squirrels begin breeding at about one year old. Yearling female gray squirrels usually have only one litter a year, but older female gray squirrels usually breed twice a year. Winter breeding is from January to February and summer breeding runs for a longer period, from May to July. Whether or not a female has a second litter usually depends on the availability of food. Usually 3 or 4 young are born after a 44-45 day gestation period. At first they look like hairless mice."

So at what age can children be left at home alone without parental supervision? It's a story that would sound alarm bells for many mothers and fathers. Any parent who sometimes nips out to the shops, leaving their children to look after each other, will take note. Or with the prospect of a rare night out, the couple that offers £20 to a sensible teenage neighbour in return for keeping an eye on their little ones, may now think again. A mother-of-three from the Thames Valley area has been cautioned by police after leaving her 14-year-old son at home with his little brother. Sources quoted in the Sunday Times are reported as saying the mother, in her 40s, was away for 30 minutes, the time passed without \"\"incident\"\" and the toddler was never in any danger. It's very rare to hear about cases like this, but is 14 too young to be babysitting and might more parents find themselves facing a caution?"

"text": "\"Kids & Money Jobs for Kids How to Start Babysitting Share Flip Pin Email By Madison Du Paix Updated April 01, 2018Babysitting jobs have always been a popular job for kids. If your child enjoys playing with children younger than they are and is responsible, babysitting is an ideal way they can earn money. After you gauge your child's interest, you'll need to find out how your child can start babysitting and find resources about babysitting jobs.01 Appropriate Age to Start Babysitting•••The age when children start babysitting varies based on their degree of maturity and whether or not they've had the opportunity to babysit for a younger brother or sister. However, most girls and boys begin babysitting for younger children around age 12. Children younger than age 12 can work as a mother's helper until they are ready to set off on their own.02 The Importance of Taking a Babysitting Course Children who are interested in launching a babysitting career should always take a safety course first. It's a very big deal, indeed, to be responsible for another child or toddler and a lot of things can go wrong. The Red Cross babysitting course is an excellent program and is available for 11 to 15-year-olds. The course focuses on the basics of child care, safety issues that may arise while babysitting, and advertising tips so your son or daughter can find clients.03 How to Find Babysitting Jobs Once your child has taken a babysitting course they are equipped to start booking babysitting gigs, as soon as they find babysitting jobs. One of the best ways to find people to babysit for is to get referrals from family and friends. These are the people that know your child well (many probably since he or she was born) and can speak to your child's character."

What is the going rate for babysitting these days anyway? Well, not surprisingly there is no one set babysitting hourly rate for all cases. In short, the average babysitting rate is typically around $8 - $12 per hour but babysitting wages can vary widely anywhere from as little as $4 per hour all the way up to $18 per hour or more! Why such a wide range? The reason is what rate to pay a babysitter depends on many factors, the most critical of which are location, experience, number of children, and any other additional requirements from parents. Let's touch on each of these: Location Have you ever heard the expression \"\"Location, Location, Location?\"\" Okay so it's not exactly real-estate we're talking about but where you live does have a factor in determining babysitting pay. Typically if you live in a large city like New York or Los Angeles where the cost of living is higher, babysitting rates are also higher (often $1 - $3 more per hour) when compared to smaller cities and towns. Remember, babysitting is a job like any else so a babysitter salary will be affected by the location you are in."

While there is no problem with hiring the neighbor or a friend's teenage child, you must make sure that they are at the legal age for babysitting. Here are some tips you can use to find the correct age for babysitting. While most babysitters age is not questioned from the age of 16 upwards, they are considered to be responsible enough for looking after younger children and babies, the legal age for minors babysitting minors in each state can vary greatly. For example, in the state of Missouri, the legal age for babysitting is 11. Obviously you will have to determine whether or not the child is capable enough and asses their maturity level on an individual basis, especially within this particular age group. Many states do not actually specify a legal age for babysitters, but rather an age for minors being left home alone. In Illinois, it is considered to be neglect if a child under the age of 14 is left home without any supervision for a lengthy period of time. A mature age for babysitting may depend upon the sitter. Here are a few guidelines that you can use to ensure your baby is being well looked after, and that the legal requirements for childcare are being adhered to: Responsible Childcare Provider Age Guidelines Most childcare professionals and child services recommend that the age limit for children in charge of children should be 17 years old."

By Randi Mazzella Published: August 1, 2014After school, it’s never a good idea for a young child to come home to an empty house, so working parents take pains to make childcare arrangements that are appropriate and safe. But at other times, parents may need to go out briefly and leave their children home unsupervised. New Jersey law doesn’t specify an exact age at which children are legally allowed to stay home alone or babysit for younger children, so parents must decide that for themselves. The Right Age As a guideline, the National SAFE KIDS Campaign recommends no child under age 12 be left home alone. But Linda Kriegel, former director of the Office for Children in the Bergen County Department of Human Services, says, “It is hard to say a ‘right’ age for staying home alone.” In addition to chronological age, parents should consider a child’s maturity and temperament. Kriegel says, “Independence, responsibility, judgment, and decision-making capabilities all factor into whether a child is ready. ”Many preteens will express a desire to stay by themselves, and this request often signals their readiness."

Next, the IEP team, which includes the parents, meets to consider all available information to determine if your child has an educational disability. Having a medical diagnosis does not automatically qualify a child for special education, though in some cases a medical diagnosis is required to determine eligibility. There are also specific requirements under federal guidelines as to who is qualified to diagnose certain disabilities. To be eligible for special education, your child must have an educational disability. An educational disability is defined as one of 13 categories below that adversely affects their educational performance and requires special education and related services. Intellectual Disability (formerly referred to as Mental Retardation) – Generally perceived to be an IQ less than 70. Emotional disturbance (ED) – An emotional disturbance can include mental health illnesses or concerns such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) but not behavior disorders such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) or children who may be socially maladjusted. An emotional disturbance is broadly defined as a condition where the child exhibits one of more of the following over a long period of time: Inability to learn that can’t be explained by intellectual, sensory or health factors Inability to build or maintain appropriate relationships with peers and teachers Inappropriate feelings or behaviors under normal circumstances General pervasive depression or unhappiness Autism – Autism is defined as a developmental disability that significantly affects verbal and nonverbal communication and social interactions. Children with autism also typically engage in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, have great difficulty with change in daily routine and difficulty handling sensory stimuli."

"text": "Dyslexia Diagnosis Learning Disabilities Dyslexia Learning Disabilities: At what age can you test for dyslexia?2 Answers Karina Richland, Founder PRIDE Learning Centers Answered Sep 27, 2012Because dyslexia is primarily diagnosed through tests measuring skills related to reading and reading readiness, most dyslexia testers or screeners like to wait until at least the end of Pre-school or beginning of Kindergarten. This is where a tester can check for phonemic awareness and phonological processing issues. Although children do develop at different rates, attributing reading failure to immaturity is risky and usually unhelpful. Children who are poor readers at the end of first grade, most often are poor readers in fourth grade. Some signs of Dyslexia: • Child has difficulties sounding out words • Slow laborious reading • Reads without expression • Ignores punctuation while reading out loud • Guesses based on first letter of word • Puts extra sounds into a word • Drops syllables • Reverses sounds • Struggles with spelling • Substitutes small common words If your child is struggling in reading and showing the above symptoms, there may be good reason for you to request an immediate assessment. An assessment is simply a standardized test performed by someone trained and licensed to understand how to give the test and how to interpret the results. Specialists trained to do psychological testing and result interpretation are: • Clinical psychologist • School psychologist • Educational psychologist • Developmental psychologist • Neuropsychologist • Speech and language therapist Early signs of dyslexia should never be ignored or passed off to a developmental lag. It is never a good idea to “wait and see if a child grows out it” position. The safest assumption is that early, direct teaching designed to help a struggling reader will minimize risks later on. If the child is taught the sounds, letters, words, and language comprehension skills that will lead to good reading by the end of first grade, most children will avoid failure."

They are usually diagnosed in children once they start school. Definition Learning disabilities are disorders that affect one's ability to understand or use spoken or written language, do mathematical calculations, coordinate movements, or direct attention. Although learning disabilities occur in very young children, disorders are usually not recognized until a child reaches school age. Research shows that 8 to 10 percent of American children under the age of 18 have some type of learning disability. Learning disabilities affect one's ability to interpret what one sees and hears or to link information from different parts of the brain. These limitations can show up as specific difficulties with spoken and written language, coordination, self-control, or attention. Such difficulties extend to schoolwork and can impede learning to read or write or to do math. Learning disabilities do not reflect IQ (intelligence quotient), or how smart a person is. Learning disabilities can be lifelong conditions that, in some cases, affect many parts of a person's existence: school or work, daily routines, family situations, and, sometimes, even friendships and play."

This is a broad concept encompassing various intellectual or cognitive deficits, including intellectual disability, deficits too mild to properly qualify as intellectual disability, various specific conditions (such as specific learning disability), and problems acquired later in life through acquired brain injuries or neurodegenerative diseases like dementia. These disabilities may appear at any age. Intellectual functioning: Refers to a person's ability to plan, comprehend, and reason. A child's intellectual functioning can be assessed by an intelligence test. The most common intelligence test that you've probably heard of is the IQ test. Generally, a child with scores of 70 to 75 or lower is classified as having a cognitive disability.

Below are answers to some of the most common questions parents have when considering this step. Reposted from NCDL, originally posted on IDA website. If you suspect that a child has dyslexia, an evaluation can lead to a better understanding of the problem and to recommendations for treatment. Test results are also used to determine state and local eligibility for special education services, as well as eligibility for support programs and services in colleges and universities. Ideally, evaluation results provide a basis for making instructional decisions and help determine which educational services and supports will be most effective. At What Age Should People Be Tested for Dyslexia? People may be tested for dyslexia at any age. The tests and procedures used will vary according to the age of the person and the presenting problems. For example, testing with young children often looks at phonological processing, receptive and expressive language abilities and the ability to make sound/symbol associations."

Dyslexia Definition The word dyslexia is derived from the Greek word, dys, meaning poor or inadequate, and the wordlexis, meaning words or language. Dyslexia is a learning disorder characterized by problems in processing words into meaningful information. This is most strongly reflected in difficulty in learning to read. Description For almost a century after dyslexia was first described in a British medical journal in 1896, it wasthought to be the result of a visual processing problem. Various forms of eye training were tried to improve visual perception; these generally failed. Today, researchers understand that dyslexia is a problem that arises from difficulties or inefficiencies in the brain in analyzing and processingindividual letter sounds (called phonemes) and blending them into words at a speed that allowscomprehension and fluency. Thus, the most prominent sign of dyslexia is difficulty in learning to read. Nevertheless, people with dyslexia may have other language-related deficits such as problemsunderstanding rapid speech, difficulty in following complex or multi-part instructions, or troubleremembering things in correct sequence. Because of the difficulty in processing letter sounds,people with dyslexia are often poor spellers."

"text": "Dr. Michael Roizen, MDInternal Medicine Not long ago, the conventional wisdom about testing a child for reading problems was to wait until second grade (age 8), because that's when reading skills get up to speed -- or not -- and when dyslexia can be diagnosed. Things have changed. Studies show it's possible to identify children as young as 3 years who are at risk for dyslexia. The chance of a child succeeding is much greater if he or she receives early treatment. Simple visual attention tasks that ask a child to pick out certain symbols and distinguish relevant from irrelevant information can indicate processing problems. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help confirm a diagnosis by identifying brain activity related to processing speech sounds that is different from that of people who don't have dyslexia. These differences in brain activity seem to be precursors to reading problems.

Sometimes it can be a sign of a genetic disorder or other medical condition. And sometimes a delay is just a delay. Some children eventually catch up and no longer have any developmental difficulties. This is one of the key differences between developmental delays and learning issues. Kids don’t outgrow learning issues. This is true even if they get the right kinds of support and learn to work around their weaknesses. For example, some adults with dyslexia report that they continue to have a hard time with spelling even though they completed school and are successful in their jobs. The term “developmental delay” means that a child is not meeting developmental milestones at the expected age."

"text": "Dyslexia: An Overview At a Glance Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting one’s ability to read, write, spell, or do math • Dyslexia is a result of the way the brain is wired, making it difficult to process sounds heard in spoken language • Children with dyslexia often have significant strengths, and when their learning challenges are addressed they excel in school and in life Dyslexia—also referred to as language-learning disabilities or reading disabilities —accounts for approximately 80% of all diagnosed learning disabilities. Although some children with dyslexia have difficulty acquiring spoken language, more often the problem is in learning to read, write, spell or do math. People with dyslexia may have problems recalling specific words and word sequences (days of the week, months of the year, etc), organizing thoughts, memorizing information, understanding intended (rather than literal) meaning, and reversing letters and numbers. Is This Your Child?5-year-old Jamie has difficulty rhyming, repeating words with more than one syllable, and remembering the names of the letters of the alphabet.7-year-old Kristen has difficulty applying the sound-symbol associations to decode (sound out) words.10-year-old Sarah has wonderful comprehension when she’s read to but can’t understand what she reads herself because she’s struggling to identify words.11-year-old Juan is extremely articulate but he has trouble organizing his thoughts when he writes, and expressing himself on paper.12-year-old Michael is a decent reader, but he’ll only read if forced to and his spelling is terrible.13-year-old Ahmed also reads well enough, but for years he has struggled in math. Causes Although the exact cause of dyslexia is unknown, research shows that it is related to inefficient phonological processing —problems in the brain that make it difficult to sort out, analyze, and sequence sounds heard in spoken language. Dyslexia often runs in families suggesting a genetic as well as an environmental component. Treatment Dyslexia cannot be cured, but it can be remediated through explicit instruction aimed at improving the skills and knowledge to understand printed material. Children with dyslexia must be taught in a systematic manner, building little by little upon what they have already learned. Their reading program must include instruction in phonemic awareness (understanding speech sounds), phonics (letter-sound relationships), fluency (reading speed and accuracy), comprehension, and vocabulary. Strengths Dyslexia is often accompanied by strengths in reasoning and problem-solving skills, as well as visual-spatial and motor skills necessary to excel in the fine arts, performing arts, athletics, engineering, and science."

He is a founding member of the Wisconsin Reading Coalition and a member of the Wisconsin Read to Lead Task Force. The question of who can or cannot give a particular diagnosis, anything from dyslexia to schizophrenia, to a broken leg, depends entirely on two questions: Will the insurance company accept the diagnosis for purposes of treatment? Will others accept the diagnosis and respond appropriately? We all diagnose on a regular basis. When you told your child they had the flu and should stay home from school, you were diagnosing. When the school allows a parent to call a child in with influenza, they are accepting a diagnosis. But your insurance company and pharmacy won’t accept that diagnosis if you want prescription medication."

Are there any helpful tips for teaching people with dyslexia to read music? Replies (34)Gennady Filimonov May 9, 2006 at 04:26 AM · (: edrgorter ni gnidaer yrt - try reading in retrograde :)Jen Gray May 9, 2006 at 05:08 AM · This is a more serious answer than Gennady's (I hope) Dyslexia can affect many aspects of reading including perception of relative pitch, rhythm, interpretation of symbols, ability to follow the line of music. Some students have trouble with all these things, some with only a few of these at a time. The most important thing appears to be avoiding an overload of information that cannot be processed as quickly or as efficiently by dyslexic students. They need to have opportunities to prepare rather than be hit with everything in sightreading all at once. Many things can help: here are some suggestions (courtesy of an ASTA session by Judy Bossuat)1) Enlarge the music2) Put corresponding colours at beginning and end of lines (ie green at end of one line and beginning of next line, then blue, then green etc) to facilitate the eye finding the next line3) Darken the middle line of the stave, and the first ledger lines above and below4) Rewrite the music so that all the stems go the same direction5) Make sure that the music is written in proportional notation (ie that half notes occupy twice as much space as quarter notes) to facilitate rhythm reading.6) Keep similar fingerings in similar passages I'm sure there are more ideas that I have forgotten. Some people suggest having one colour at the top line of the staff and another consistently at the bottom to help the eye distinguish between notes going up and those going down. There are a number of articles and even a few books written about the subject which you could look up on the net."

Although the pertinent kindergarten statutes apply only to public schools, some private schools voluntarily adhere to the state kindergarten statutes, and this guidance may be of assistance to them. This information may also be helpful to parents and guardians, as well as teachers of preschool, kindergarten, and first grade. Kindergarten Enrollment Since school is mandatory for six year old students, parents and guardians of six year old students must enroll their children in school ( Education Code [EC] Section 48200 ). Admission of age-eligible children must occur at the beginning of the school year or whenever the students move into the school district. While local education officials may need a day or two to identify the particular assigned kindergarten classroom, no age-eligible child may be denied access to school by being placed on a waiting list. Although demographics and class size reduction restrictions may prevent parents/guardians from enrolling their children in the neighborhood school, the district must provide the name (s) of available schools. Parents/guardians may discuss school choice options with district officials. To help make placement decisions, parents/guardians may compare schools online at either Ed-Data or Data and Statistics . Both sites offer information on schools' demographics and characteristics."

Some school districts place 5th graders at the junior high school, while others place 6th graders at the elementary school. Some school districts place 8th graders at the high school, while others place 9th graders at the junior high school. The decision has little to do with the education, and is generally based upon factors such as which school buildings have enough space to accomodate the students. For example, if the elementary school has too many students, and the middle school has empty classrooms, then the school district might decide to move the fifth graders to the middle school. Oh, and preschool is generally not required, but it is becoming increasingly more popular.

Yes, there are things you can do to help your child be emotionally and socially ready for kindergarten and there are even basic academics you can review as well. All of those things are important for child development, but there are some even more practical matters to attend to first, such as kindergarten registration and the kindergarten screening, which reviews kindergarten readiness skills. The Purpose of a Kindergarten Screening Not all schools do a kindergarten screening, but it is fairly common. The purpose of a kindergarten screening is not to test how much your child knows, so much as to see if your child is developmentally ready to start kindergarten and if a child will need any additional support in the classroom. Kindergarten screenings are also a great way to familiarize your child with her new school. A kindergarten screening will vary from school to school and evaluate children in a range of developmental tasks from self-care skills to your child's ability to communicate and listen. They generally last 20 to 30 minutes and the parent or guardian does not stay with the child. Please note, listed below are just some kindergarten readiness skills that may be tested during or after kindergarten registration. This list is in no way all-inclusive in terms of child development."

He hasn't been taking regular naps for the last year or so, and he does fine without them (he is generally good natured until bedtime). However, his new school requires him to take a 2 hour nap. He is not allowed to read, color, or engage in other quiet activities during this time, like he was at his previous school. He literally has to lie down and do nothing for 2 hours. Yesterday he reported that while he lying there awake, one of his teachers actually asked him to turn around and close his eyes. I feel this time is too long and boring for him, not to mention a waste of his time. Just to clarify, he turns 5 in November and he is in pre-K, not kindergarten. This is a private school that goes from preschool through early elementary school. Picking him up earlier than mid-afternoon is not an option, as I'm on maternity leave but will be going back to work very soon. Any advice to get him to nap?"

"text": "Print Email Tweet What does it mean to be Kindergarten-Ready? The answer to that question will depend on who you ask: parents, teachers, policymakers, and scholars tend to look at different sets of skills that help a child thrive in school. One of the reasons why is it so difficult to settle on one definition of school readiness is because formal schooling presents a child with many different challenges. A child is confronted with physical, emotional, behavioral, as well as social challenges that are new and exciting. Even a child coming from preschool or pre-kindergarten, will find kindergarten brings new social, emotional and intellectual puzzles. Because a birthdate, instead of developmental stage, determines when a child starts kindergarten, it’s a sure bet that children are at different developmental stages when they reach school. 1Cognitive Skills There is no one-size-fits-all for kindergarten-readiness; however, most researchers and practitioners agree that school readiness is linked to four main areas of development: language and literacy, cognitive skills, self-control, and self-confidence. Cognitive skills are tools we use to think and process information; they show that a child is able to learn and communicate through written or verbal speech. It is important for children to enter kindergarten with a foundation of thinking skills. Obtaining basic thinking skills is critical because it is important for mastering more complex reading and mathematic concepts in the future."

President Obama is committed to providing the support that our youngest children need to prepare to succeed later in school. The President supports a seamless and comprehensive set of services and support for children, from birth through age 5. Because the President is committed to helping all children succeed - regardless of where they spend their day - he is urging states to impose high standards across all publicly funded early learning settings, develop new programs to improve opportunities and outcomes, engage parents in their child's early learning and development, and improve the early education workforce. The Administration strongly believes that, to be of high quality, an early childhood program must include a developmentally appropriate educational component. According to the influential National Academy of Sciences publication, Eager to Learn: Educating Our Preschoolers, \"\"care and education cannot be thought of as separate entities in dealing with young children.\"\" To this end, the U.

Districts vary on when they begin taking sign-ups for kindergarten. Most begin pre-registration in early spring for the following fall. The number of hours your child will spend in school each day varies from district to district, although the state requires that students complete a minimum number of hours per year. Here are some general guidelines on what is required for kindergarten enrollment. Be sure to check with your local school district for their specific requirements, too. In most states your child must be at least 5 years old to be eligible for kindergarten. Although most states are fairly strict in enforcing the deadline date (if your child is not 5 by the designated deadline, he must wait until the following year to start kindergarten), some school districts may allow parents to enroll their children if they turn 5 in the middle of the school year. Most districts choose not to make an exception for these students because of space constraints and possible complications around promotion to first grade. If you feel strongly that your child should start kindergarten and his birthday does not meet the state deadline, it’s worth contacting the school district office to see if they will make an exception."

The origin of kindergarten lies with the Prussian model of schooling, admired by Horace Mann et al, and was instituted to remove children from the influence of their parents at an earlier age. ( Please read The Public School Nightmare by John Taylor Gatto for more information on the history and development of our current public and private school structure.) However, if children of kindergarten age in a homeschool setting are eager to “do school” like big brother or sister, these suggestions will enrich their hearts and minds while providing important practice in fine motor coordination and development. The Importance of Reading Reading is the first and most important skill to all of education, and classical education is no exception. Before your child learns to read on his own, be sure to read to him daily and consistently. The more he is read to, the better. Read the Bible, and a wide variety of other materials, anything worthwhile, beautiful, and edifying. Poetry is especially wonderful. I highly recommend that everyone read a copy of Honey for a Child’s Heart by Gladys Hunt for an excellent look at the importance and benefits of reading, books, and literature in a child’s life."

Kindergarten is the new first grade. That's the word on the street if you talk to many moms of school-age kids. The new students are getting older (more parents are \"\"redshirting\"\" -- a practice of holding their children back to give them a leg up). And the increased academic requirements, test pressures and the age of the peers their kids will be competing against has many parents wondering if their kids are really ready to start Kindergarten. Michelle Duncan's daughter, Nora, turns five in August, but Duncan's not so sure she'll be starting kindergarten in the fall. \"\" I have been making myself crazy thinking about this, as I think it's a huge decision with effects that can last for many years,\"\" says Duncan, who lives in Santa Cruz, Calif. Peer pressure is becoming a factor in the decision. Many of the other kids in Nora's preschool class won't be going onto kindergarten, even though they'll turn five this summer. School administrators, responding to the trend, have advised Michelle that it's okay to wait. Michelle's younger son is also an August birthday, and she worries there will be even more pressure to hold him back because he's a boy. \"\""

Collect This Article3.1 based on 15 ratingsby Education.com Updated on Sep 18, 2008As the parent of a child entering kindergarten, you're sure to be shocked and amazed by what's changed since your days on the story rug. Kindergarten isn’t what it used to be. Good news though: while many of the changes you observe make kindergarten a more challenging and potentially pressuring stage, it’s all in the name of teaching your child more effectively. Download Article If the buzzword assessment has popped up as you and your child prepare for school, you are not alone. Schools across the nation administer all types of assessments to students of all ages. Simply put, an assessment is a tool that teachers use to guide the way they teach. Yes, they come in the form of “tests,” but for kindergarteners, they're not the kind of pencil and paper examinations you may be anxiously picturing. The types of assessments that teachers use vary depending on the school in question."

Tags: School, Kindergarten Posted March 9, 2015 Updated March 10, 2015By Sarah Lindenfeld Hall My younger daughter was born in 2009, the year that state legislators passed a law that said that children must turn five by Aug. 31 to be able to start kindergarten that year. So I was well aware, when she was born in early September, that my daughter would turn six days after she would enter kindergarten. She'll start kindergarten in the fall after a full year in a transitional kindergarten program at the central Raleigh preschool that she's attended since she was one. And she is ready for big kid school. I didn't have much of a choice about when to send my daughter to kindergarten (though there is an early entry option ). But for parents of kids with summer birthdays, in particular, it can be a tricky question. Shanon Baggett, who works at St. Raphael Preschool in north Raleigh, tells me that it's a common question school staff gets from parents. \"\" While the N. C. law does help some parents decide, not all teachers and parents feel the chronological age of the child should be the only factor,\"\" Baggett wrote me in an email. The questions prompted Baggett, the school's director and its transitional kindergarten teacher to write an article for parents."

Multiple infractions would constitute a misdemeanor. The bill applies to any person legally charged with care of a child and states that they cannot be left alone or with anyone under the age of 12, “under conditions which would knowingly or recklessly present a significant risk to the health or safety of the child. ”Those found guilty of an infraction would be fined no more than $50 for the first violation, no more than $100 for a second infraction within 18 months of the first, and no more than $250 for a third, but at that point it would be a misdemeanor and the person would have to appear in court. “It is our job to protect our children,” state Sen. Shirley Huntley (D-Jamaica) said in a prepared statement announcing its passage. “ By passing this legislation we are going to great lengths in saving all New Yorkers from unnecessary and unintentional pain and injury that can be felt from leaving a child unattended. ”But what critics consider the vague nature of the bill, its penalties, and its possible real purpose raise questions about its value. For example the violation fees for leaving a child unattended may actually be less than the penalty for leaving a pet alone in a motor vehicle in conditions of extreme cold or heat without proper ventilation, which may endanger its life. The animal law calls for a fine of between $50 and $100 for the first offense and between $100 and $250 for the second infraction. Tanya Cruz, chairwoman of Community Board 13’s Transportation Committee, panned the child safety bill for several reasons including fines that she considers too low and a lack of clarity on how it would be enforced."

Save For Later Print Articles NAGCAT Guidelines offer visual and written recommendations to adults to help youth have positive agricultural experiences. These vehicles go fast and can travel in forests and over fields. ATV use by youth is mainly for recreation but older youth use ATVs for chores such as pulling a cart to haul firewood, feeding calves or scraping snow. Riding ATVs can be fun, provide a means of physical fitness, give parents and youth an opportunity for quality family time, and provide a means of accomplishing work. ATVs Can Be Dangerous ATVs are also getting bigger and faster, ranging up to 700cc and greater in engine size, weighing 600 or more pounds, with speeds exceeding 70 miles per hour. Machines of this size and speed are not suitable for most youth. As a result, ATVs have proven hazardous to youth. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Annual Reports typically show that, approximately 25% of the estimated number of ATV-related injuries treated in emergency rooms involved children less than 16 years of age. This fact sheet discusses selection and use of ATVs for youth, along with recommendations for adults to help youth have positive experiences with ATVs."

"text": "\"Safest Spot for Baby's Car Seat? Study Shows Placing Car Seat in Center of Back Seat Cuts Risk of Injury in Crash By Jennifer Warner From the Web MD Archives May 7, 2008 -- The safest spot for a baby's car seat is in the center of the back seat rather than on the sides, according to a new study. Although older passengers using seat belts can decide where they sit in a car, researchers point out that a child's seat is determined by where the child-restraint system is installed. For ease of access and keeping an eye on a baby, the most common spot for a baby's car seat is the rear passenger side. But the study showed that children under age 3 seated in the center of the back seat had nearly half the risk of injury in motor vehicle crashes than children seated in either of the other positions. \"\" The center rear seating position is used less often by children restrained by a child-restraint system as they get older,\"\" writes researcher Michael J. Kallan, MS, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and colleagues in Pediatrics. \"\" Children seated in the center rear have a 43% lower risk of injury compared with children in a rear outboard position. \"\" Continue Reading Belowyou might like Researchers say current child restraint safety guidelines recommend the center position as long as a snug fit of the car seat can be achieved. But those recommendations are based on research that was conducted a decade ago. Center Seat Safest for Children In this study, researchers looked at whether those recommendations were still valid by analyzing data on child occupants of motor vehicle accidents from 1998 to 2006 based on insurance claims and a telephone survey."

"text": "Child safety seat must for children under 10 in UAEParents who allow children to sit in car’s rear seat without child seat will be fined Image Credit: Virendra Saklani/Gulf News archives Traffic Violation- child on front seat Published: 21:45 March 8, 2017 02Ali Al Shouk, Staff Reporter Dubai: Dubai Police on Wednesday warned parents against allowing their children under the age of 10 to be seated in the car’s rear seats without being buckled in a child seat. Brigadier Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, director of the police’s Traffic Department, said the police have fined 140 motorists in the last 14 months for violating this rule. Four children under the age of 10 died in traffic accidents last year and 75 were injured, said Brigadier Al Mazroui, who stressed that all children under 10 should be put in a child seat and restrained by the seatbelt when being seated in the rear of the vehicle. This must be followed till the child becomes as tall as 145cm. “Parents put their children at risk when they let them sit on the rear seat [without the child seat].”Brigadier Al Mazroui said reports in the UAE reveal that traffic accidents are the main cause of children’s deaths, apart from cases of children falling from buildings and drowning.“ [ Buckling them up in child seats] can reduce the impact of a traffic accident but when the child is left [unrestrained] in the back seat, any minor accident can injure the child,” Brigadier Al Mazroui added. At the same time, seating children under the age of 10 in the front seat of a vehicle will lead to a fine of Dh400 and four black points against the driver. Other precautions parents must take to ensure their child’s safety are monitoring children’s behaviour inside the vehicle and locking all doors and windows so that children cannot be tempted to put their head or hands outside when the vehicle is moving. He also warned parents against smoking in the car when children are present. This violation carries a fine of Dh500, which goes up to Dh10,000 if they are caught repeating the violation."

"text": "School Bus Collisions 1995-2004Transport Canada, Motor Vehicle Safety TP 2436 RS 2007-02 E December 2007SUMMARYSchool buses continue to be one of the safest methods of travel for children and youth. Only 0.3 percent of all collisions resulting in personal injury or death involved school buses. Yet, over the last 10 years, children have travelled by bus as many as 6 billion times, an estimated 600 million pupil-trips per year and 3,400,000 pupil-trips each day. Over the 10-year period, 142 people died in collisions involving school buses; and only five of these fatalities were bus passengers. This report provides a statistical summary of collisions involving school buses over the 10-year period from 1995 through 2004. It reviews the number of collisions involving at least one school bus, the number of school buses involved in collisions, and the resulting deaths and personal injuries, both inside and outside the school bus. The report also highlights: the ages of victims; type of road users involved in the incident, such as drivers, passengers, pedestrians and bicyclists; time of day of collision; number of incidents by year; and vehicle manoeuvre of the striking vehicle. QUICK FACTS ABOUT COLLISIONS INVOLVING SCHOOL BUSESOver the 10-year period, 1995 to 2004: Deaths142 deaths – average 14/year5 school bus passengers3 school bus drivers90 occupants of other vehicles38 pedestrians6 bicyclists Injuries9,405 injuries – average 941 per year3,427 school bus passengers980 school bus drivers4,348 occupants of other vehicles485 pedestrians165 bicyclists Collisions25,252 collisions129 fatal collisions4,872 personal injury collisions20,251 property damage only ( PDO) collisions School Buses Involved25,521 school buses involved130 in fatal collisions4,954 in personal injury collisions20,437 in PDO collisions BACKGROUNDSince 1995, many improvements have been made to school buses including:the structural integrity of the roof and joints in school buses;the structure and design of the seats and seat backs to absorb the energy of a collision and keep the passenger contained;windows designed to prevent the passenger from being ejected;additional mirrors for greater visibility in and around the bus; andimproved swing arms and stop warning lamps to protect children when getting on or off the bus. ESTIMATE OF EXPOSUREIn order to calculate the exposure on a national basis, the estimate assumes that the other provinces transport a similar proportion of children by school bus as Ontario. Based on the assumption that 28.4% 1 of Ontario's population aged 4 to 18 years travelled by school bus daily during the 2004 school year, the national total of pupils travelling by school bus was estimated at 1,700,000 students in the morning and again in the afternoon, or 3,400,000 pupil trips each school day."

"text": "BY Ryn Gargulinski IN Miscellaneous July 22, 2011 6 comments 30Accidents happen — and they also kill enough people to rank as the No. 1 cause of death for those ages 1 to 42, according to the National Safety Council. Accidents are the fifth-leading cause of death across all age groups, topped only by a spate of illnesses that include heart disease and cancer. And it’s not the heavy-machinery operators, high-rise window washers or electricians who most frequently succumb to fatal accidents. The vast majority of accidental deaths happen at home or in the community — not at work — with the top five causes often stemming from routine activities.5. Choking (Approximately 2,500 deaths per year)Photo credit: Jovan Nikolic/Shutterstock.com Hot dogs can be a quick, easy — and deadly — meal. Hot dogs are the perfect size, shape and consistency to block a child’s airway, and a Web Md report rates hot dogs as the top choking hazard for children. Choking killed about 2,500 people in 2009, according to the National Safety Council, and kids ages 3 and under are at the highest risk. Potential choking hazards include balloons, marshmallows, gooey gel candies, grapes, nuts, chewing gum, carrots, chunks of meat and peanut butter, apples, hard, round candies and small toys kids like to put in their mouths. Reduce your child’s risk of choking by cutting up foods into very small pieces and closely monitoring your children while eating, especially if they are eating while walking, laughing or fooling around.4."

DHSMV is partnering with the Florida Department of Children and Families, Florida Department of Education, Florida Department of Health, Florida Sheriffs Association, Florida Police Chiefs Association and the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics to recognize August 2016 as Child Safety Awareness Month. “Children are our most precious cargo and it’s critical for all motorists to take extra caution when a child is in or around a motor vehicle, even in your own driveway,” said DHSMV Executive Director Terry L. Rhodes. “ In the heat of the Florida summer, when more children will be out on the road preparing for the start of school, it is very important to remember that whether driving through a school zone or taking a family trip, motorists must do everything possible to ensure our children arrive alive. ”Throughout the month of August, the department will be educating the public regarding all aspects of child safety on Florida roads, including: occupant protection and proper seat restraints, not leaving children in hot cars and safety in and around school zones and school buses. Preliminarily in 2015, there were 66,091 crashes in Florida involving children under the age of 18, resulting in 25,992 injuries and 149 fatalities, a 25 percent increase in fatalities from 2013. DHSMV data shows the following:201320142015*Crashes involving children <1856, 08460,65966,091Injuries involving children <1822,57823,94925,992Fatalities involving children <18120121149*Source: Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles preliminary data as of June 13, 2016.“It is critically important to ensure the safety of our children in vehicles as they travel our state’s roadways. That means properly restraining children according to their age, size and weight,” said Colonel Gene S. Spaulding, Director of the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP). “ FHP encourages everyone in the vehicle to buckle up, including passengers in the back seat. Remember, as the caregivers for these young lives, it’s your responsibility to ensure they are safe."

"text": "\"Flag What is the age children can decide what parent to live with in Delaware? Edit Answer by Thelma OHouilhan Confidence votes 715In most states, Delaware included, a child has to reach what is called the \"\"age of majority\"\" (age in which the child is recognized as an adult for making legal decisions, entering into contracts, etc.) before they can make that decision and the age of majority varies from state to state. It can be as low as 18 or as high as 21 depending on where the child lives. In Delaware, the age of majority is 18. However, almost all states allow the child, a parent or a guardian ad litem to write to the judge and/or petition the court for modification of the original custody agreement. The child's wishes will be taken into consideration and the older they are, the more weight will be assigned to them. But ultimately, it is the court's responsibility to decide what is in the best interests of the child, even though the child may not agree with that decision.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "Graduation from high school may or may not end your obligation to pay child support. It depends on two main factors, the statutory requirements in the state the child resides and any contractual obligations you agreed to in writing, usually during a divorce proceeding. Generally, by the time a child graduates from high school, he becomes an adult in the eyes of the law, thereby terminating your duty to pay child support. But there are many exceptions to the general rule. Emancipation When your child becomes emancipated, he becomes an adult in the eyes of the law. As the Children's Rights Council explains, emancipation, also known as the age of majority, enables a son or daughter to be freed from parental control and a parent to be freed of legal responsibility for the son or daughter. Often, emancipation will end the obligation to pay child support. But emancipation does not always take effect when your child graduates from high school. Divorce is never easy, but we can help. Learn More State Statutes In states such as Arizona, Connecticut and Delaware, 18 is defined as the age of majority."

Resident relatives and their own insurance versus your personal injury car insurance What is PIP fraud or no-fault fraud? What does personal injury protection coverage do? Personal injury protection (PIP or MEDEX) pays a per-person benefit amount for injuries you (the insured), and others specified in your policy, sustain in an auto accident. Basic personal injury car insurance coverage is for the insured's own injuries on a first-party basis, without regard to fault. [ Let Car Insurance.com help you find affordable auto insurance now. ] Parties typically covered by PIP include: Policyholder Policyholder’s relatives in the same household Passengers (if they don’t have their own PIP coverage to place claim under)Other authorized drivers of your insured vehicle Policyholder and family members if they are injured while riding in someone else’s car Policyholder and family members if struck by another vehicle when a pedestrian (in some states). The exact benefits offered by PIP vary by state, and there may be a deductible due before the benefits kick in."

"text": "\"Earned income tax credit From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Earned income)navigation search The United States federal earned income tax credit or earned income credit ( EITC or EIC) is a refundable tax credit for low- to moderate-income working individuals and couples, particularly those with children. The amount of EITC benefit depends on a recipient’s income and number of children. For a person or couple to claim one or more persons as their qualifying child, requirements such as relationship, age, and shared residency must be met. In the 2013 tax year, working families, if they have children, with annual incomes below $37,870 to $51,567 (depending on the number of dependent children) may be eligible for the federal EITC. Childless workers that have incomes below about $14,340 ($19,680 for a married couple) can receive a very small EITC benefit. U. S. tax forms 1040EZ, 1040A, or 1040 can be used to claim EITC without qualifying children. To claim the credit with qualifying children, forms 1040A or 1040 must be used along with Schedule EITC attached. [ 1]EIC phases in slowly, has a medium-length plateau, and then phases out more slowly than it was phased in. Since the credit phases out at 21% (more than one qualifying child) or 16% (one qualifying child), it is always preferable to have one more dollar of actual salary or wages (although technically, since the EIC table moves by fifty-dollar increments, it is always preferable to have an extra fifty-dollar increment of salary or wages) considering the EITC alone. If the EITC is combined with multiple other means-tested programs such as Medicaid or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, it is possible that the marginal tax rate approaches or exceeds 100% in rare circumstances depending on the state of residence; conversely, under certain circumstances, net income can rise faster than the increase in wages because the EITC phases in.

Related to adoption: open adoption, Adoption Process Adoption A two-step judicial process in conformance to state statutory provisions in which the legal obligationsand rights of a child toward the biological parents are terminated and new rights and obligations arecreated between the child and the adoptive parents. Adoption involves the creation of the parent-child relationship between individuals who are not naturally so related. The adopted child is given the rights, privileges, and duties of a child and heir by theadoptive family. Since adoption was not recognized at Common Law, all adoption procedures in the United States areregulated by statute. Adoption statutes prescribe the conditions, manner, means, and consequences of adoption. In addition, they specify the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. De facto adoption is a Voidable agreement to adopt a child, based on a statutory proceeding in a particular state, which becomes lawful when the petition to adopt is properly presented. Equitable adoption, sometimes referred to as virtual adoption, is treated by the law as final for certainpurposes in spite of the fact that it has not been formally executed. When adoption appears to complywith standards of fairness and justice, some states will grant a child the rights of one who has beenadopted even though the adoption procedure is incomplete."

"text": "Can Children Choose Which Parent They Want to Live? Attorneys are often asked in consultations: “When can my child choose where he wants to live?” or “When my child turns 12, she can tell the court she wants to live with me and they will let her, right?”The laws vary from state to state as it relates to whether a child has a true right to choose which parent they want to live with. Attorneys often hear from clients that they have heard from relatives or friends that a child can choose where they want to live when they reach a certain age. This magical age is usually believed to be 12, 13, or 14. Clients tend to believe when a child reaches one of these ages they have an inherent right or a “child’s right” to chose the custodial arrangement they want. Can my child choose which parent they want to live with? There is no magical age in which a child has a right to choose the custodial arrangement. The answer can be complicated and is often “situation specific”, i.e., every family is different and thus custody will depend on the situation of that particular family. Depending on both the quality of your family relationships and the degree of court or other third-party involvement with your marital separation, the answer to whether or not your child can choose which parent to live with can be complicated."

A person who is neither married (as determined by Social Security) nor head of a household and:is under age 18; oris under age 22 and is a student regularly attending school (as determined by Social Security). HOW DOES THE SSI DISABILITY PROGRAM WORK FOR A CHILD? To be eligible for SSI benefits, a child must be either blind or disabled. A child may be eligible for SSI disability benefits beginning as early as the date of birth; there is no minimum age requirement. A child may be eligible for SSI disability benefits until attainment of age 18 (see definition of disability for children ). When the child attains age 18, we evaluate impairments based on the definition of disability for adults (see definition of disability for adults ). A child with a visual impairment may be eligible for SSI benefits based on blindness if the impairment meets the definition of blindness (see blindness requirements ). WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR A “DISABLED” OR “BLIND” CHILD? If under 18, whether or not married or head of household, the child has a medically determinable physical or mental impairment or impairments which result in marked and severe functional limitations; and The impairment (s) has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months or be expected to result in death; or If the child is blind, he or she meets the same definition of “blind” as applies for adults."

Please be aware that the process in China may have changed since this page was updated. Adopting from China generally takes 24-36 months. Although children of all ages are available, the average age of children at the time they are adopted is 8-15 months old. The following information can help you if you are considering adopting a child from China. What is the China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA)? Since 1996 when the Chinese government established the China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA), the central authority which oversees the adoption of every Chinese child, the Chinese program has been one of the most popular international adoption programs. The popularity of child adoption from China appears to be due to several factors including:unlike many other countries that have suspended and altered their adoption process frequently, the process in China has been relatively steady since it started;the Chinese adoption process is very predictable since all orphanages and adoption agencies working in China must be registered with and approved by the CCAA;there are no hidden costs or fees in China and the fees quoted are accurate and very reasonable compared to other countries;no black market activity or bribery associated with adoption has ever been reported in China;the Chinese people are very positive and supportive of Chinese orphans being adopted by citizens of other countries. The Chinese people treat families who are visiting China to complete an adoption with respect and graciousness;travel to China, unlike many other parts of the world, is relatively safe for foreign travelers."

"text": "Generally, child support terminates once the child moves out of his parent's home to live independently. Support is meant to benefit the child, but payment is ordered to the custodial parent to cover the noncustodial parent's share of child rearing expenses. State statutes specify conditions that turn a child into an adult, for support purposes. In most states, moving out of the parent's home to live independently qualifies as a transition into adulthood that terminates the support obligation. Parent's Obligation All states consider it a child's right to receive support from his parents. Generally, states uniformly provide that a receiving parent cannot refuse or waive receipt of child support, as the right to receive it belongs to the child not the parent. Likewise, parents cannot mutually agree to waive support. The paying parent may not specify how support payments are used; this is at the discretion of the custodial parent, whose responsibility it is to budget for daily household operation.

The “When” and “How” of it all A child’s preference in custody including who the child chooses to live with, how the child can state that choice and when (at what age) the child can make the choice have evolved in the last many years in the State of California. There was a time in California family courts that a child’s choice was somewhat of a nuisance concept to family law judges and not a strong consideration in California custody and visitation cases until the child reached his or her late teenage years. However, as child custody laws in California became more progressive and with the passage of Family Code section 3042 and its companion in California Rules of Court 5.250, children have a voice to express their custody preference today unlike ever before. In this article, we will discuss a child’s preference in custody, how a child chooses with which parent to live and when the child can make such a choice. To contact us, complete the form at the end of this article or call us at any one of our three offices in Orange County. A child’s preference in custody and Family Code 3042California Family Code 3042, subsections (a) through (d) specifically state: (a) If a child is of sufficient age and capacity to reason so as to form an intelligent preference as to custody or visitation, the court shall consider, and give due weight to, the wishes of the child in making an order granting or modifying custody or visitation. ( b) In addition to the requirements of subdivision (b) of Section 765 of the Evidence Code, the court shall control the examination of a child witness so as to protect the best interests of the child. ( c) If the child is 14 years of age or older and wishes to address the court regarding custody or visitation, the child shall be permitted to do so, unless the court determines that doing so is not in the child’s best interests."

According to Doug Herriott with Eyecare Associates of Lees Summit having a child’s vision tested by an eye-care professional can lead to greater success in the classroom because much of a child’s learning occurs visually. Studies have shown that some students where learning disabilities have been diagnosed actually have undiagnosed vision problems instead. Although an eye exam is the ideal way for parents to know whether their children have vision problems, Eyecare Associated of Lees Summit offers some signs and behaviors parents can watch for that may indicate a child is struggling with his or her vision. What do your child’s eyes look like?-Eyes don’t line up, one eye may appear to cross or look inwards or outwards.-Eyes are red, crusty or swollen-Eyes seem to be red or watery Eye rubbing can be a sign that your child is having eye problems. How does your child act?"

S. retailer. The American Optometric Association recommends that children and adults ages 6 through 60 have an eye exam every two years. For patients over age 61, the association recommends an eye exam every year to maintain eye wellness. Typical costs: The national average charge for an eye exam is $114 for those without insurance, according to the Vision Service Plan [ 1] . The cost varies depending upon the clinic and region of the country. Lakewood Family Eye Care [ 2] clinic, in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., charges $109 for an eye exam for those without insurance. Discount clinics, such as those at Wal Mart [ 3] , can charge as little as $50 for an eye exam. For patients with vision insurance coverage, the typical copay will apply. For some, the vision plan covers the full cost of a regular annual eye exam. Other plans charge a copay of $5 to $35."

It’s part of an intricate network of glands called the endocrine system. The endocrine system is responsible for coordinating many of your body’s activities. The thyroid gland manufactures hormones that regulate your body’s metabolism. Several different disorders can arise when your thyroid produces too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) or not enough (hypothyroidism). Four common disorders of the thyroid are Hashimoto’s disease, Graves’ disease, goiter, and thyroid nodules. Hyperthyroidism Hyperthyroidism In hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland is overactive. It produces too much of its hormone. Hyperthyroidism affects about 1 percent of women. It’s less common in men."

Please Share!Is it really that important to have routine eye exams? What if you just passed a vision screening at work or school — do you still need an eye exam? Here are a few important differences between vision screenings and eye exams — and why routine eye exams are so important even if you've passed a vision screening. Vision Screenings Are Not Eye Exams Vision screenings are not comprehensive eye exams. Screenings usually take only a few minutes and are often performed by volunteers who are not eye care professionals. In many cases, vision screenings are nothing more than a visual acuity test where you're asked to identify the smallest letters you can on a vision chart across the room. After a comprehensive exam, your eye doctor will discuss the findings and offer treatment options best suited to your needs. Vision screenings typically are designed to only detect subnormal visual acuity and major vision problems — as quickly and cost-effectively as possible."

Please Share!As a parent, you may wonder whether your preschooler has a vision problem or when you should schedule your child's first eye exam. Eye exams for children are extremely important, because 5 to 10 percent of preschoolers and 25 percent of school-aged children have vision problems. * Early identification of a child's vision problem can be crucial because children often are more responsive to treatment when problems are diagnosed early. According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age. Children then should have additional eye exams at age 3, and just before they enter the first grade — at about age 5 or 6. FIND A DOCTOR: Don't let poor vision affect your child's life. Find an eye doctor near you for an appointment. >For school-aged children, the AOA recommends an eye exam every two years if no vision correction is required. Children who need eyeglasses or contact lenses should be examined annually or as recommended by their optometrist or ophthalmologist."

NEARSIGHTEDNESS (MYOPIA)Can you see clearly close up, but not far away? If so, you could be nearsighted. Nearsightedness, or myopia, happens when light focuses in front of the retina, as opposed to on the retina, usually because the eye is elongated. It’s often passed on genetically, and usually detected between the ages of 8 and 12. Nearsightedness usually worsens during adolescence, and stabilizes in early adulthood. FARSIGHTEDNESS (HYPEROPIA)On the other hand, if close objects are blurry, but you can see distant objects clearly, you could be farsighted. Farsightedness, or hyperopia, occurs when light focuses behind the retina, as opposed to on the retina."

Do I still need to go to the eye doctor? Yes! Preventive eye exams do a lot more than correct your vision; comprehensive eye exams allow the eye doctor to look directly at your blood vessels, thereby revealing potential warning signs of serious health problems such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes before the symptoms show up anywhere else in the body. Visit the Importance of Eye Exams section to learn more about the benefits of eye exams to your whole body. How often should I go to the eye doctor? As with any ongoing health care, annual eye exams are a good rule of thumb unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Risk-free adults age 18 to 40 should see an eye doctor every two to three years. At-risk adults should have an eye exam every one or two years."

Instead of focusing images on the retina—the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye—the lens of the eye focuses the image in front of the retina. People with myopia have good near vision but poor distance vision. People with myopia can typically see well enough to read a book or computer screen but struggle to see objects farther away. Sometimes people with undiagnosed myopia have headaches and eyestrain from struggling to clearly see things in the distance. Myopia also can be the result of a cornea – the eye’s outermost layer – that is too curved for the length of the eyeball or a lens that is too thick. In a normal eye, the light focuses on the retina. With myopia, the eye is too long and focuses light in front of the retina. Why does the eyeball grow too long?"

It can occur at any age but is more common in older adults. The most common form of glaucoma has no warning signs. The effect is so gradual that you may not notice a change in vision until the condition is at an advanced stage. Vision loss due to glaucoma can't be recovered.

If you are unsure because you have not been to the eye doctor in a long time, here are seven signs that should send you to the eye doctor for an eye exam. Unlike going to the dentist, it’s generally not necessary to see the eye doctor every 6 months for an eye exam. Typically, a comprehensive eye exam every 2 years will ensure that your eyes stay healthy and your vision remains sharp. If you have a medical condition like diabetes or other ocular disorders, previous eye trauma or surgery, high prescriptions, a lazy eye, or a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration, you will need to have more frequent eye exams. However, there are some signs and symptoms that should send you to the eye doctor for an eye exam — even if you aren’t due up for one. If you experience any of the nine symptoms below, you should schedule an eye exam as soon as possible, and in some cases, immediate medical attention is required.1. Sudden Blurry Vision or Problems Focusing Sudden blurry vision or focus problems can be a sign of a larger health issue and should always be taken seriously.

Vision therapy is a doctor-supervised, non-surgical and customized program of visual activities designed to correct certain vision problems and/or improve visual skills. Unlike eyeglasses and contact lenses, which simply compensate for vision problems, or eye surgery that alters the anatomy of the eye or surrounding muscles, vision therapy aims to \"\"teach\"\" the visual system to correct itself.

Initially, these exams are performed by the pediatrician or primary healthcare provider as a part of a routine well-child visit. They are aimed to detect structural abnormalities of the eye or problems with eye alignment. As a child gets older, emphasis should be placed on checking visual acuity. For most children, this can be done around age 3 to 4 but, at minimum, should be performed by age 5. This exam can be done by an ophthalmologist, optometrist, pediatrician or other primary healthcare provider. Univ. of Nev. School of Medicine, Family Medicine Family Medicine According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, eye exams should begin at birth and continue at each well-child check. Prior to 3 years of age, the eyes should be examined for ocular motility, or proper eye movement, pupil examination, external lid and eye abnormalities and red reflex looking for cataracts or eye tumors. At the age of 3 years, visual acuity should be assessed and a fundoscopic exam should be attempted to carefully look at the back of the eye."

This was true for my son who walked at 11 months, but didn't really start talking until between 2 and 2 1/2 years old. I say that he really started talking at 2 1/2 because it seemed like almost over night that he started using sentences and aksing about things.

Since there were no bare-bottomed kids playing doctor in her bedroom or questions about where babies come from, I figured the talk could wait awhile—until her high school graduation maybe. Then, one day, I found her flipping through a kids’ book about sex that I’d picked up for my research. “ Oh, so that’s what they look like,” she said, staring intently at one of the pages. “ That’s what what looks like?” I asked, peering over her shoulder at an illustration of the male reproductive system. “ Squirms,” she giggled, as my jaw dropped."

"text": "\"Language delay Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition A language delay is language development that is significantly below the norm for a child of a specified age. Description Language delay is a communication disorder, a category that includes a wide variety of speech, language, and hearing impairments. The milestones of language development, including the onset of babbling and a child's first words and sentences, normally occur within approximate age ranges. However, individual children vary enormously regarding the exact age at which each milestone is reached. There also are different styles of language development. Most children have acquired good verbal communication by the age of three. But one child may be wordless until the age of two and a half and then immediately start talking in three-word sentences. Another child might have several words at ten months but add very few additional words over the following year. Other children start talking at about 12 months and progress steadily. Language delay usually becomes apparent during infancy or early childhood."

They are not born with all the visual abilities they need in life. The ability to focus their eyes, move them accurately, and use them together as a team must be learned. Also, they need to learn how to use the visual information the eyes send to their brain in order to understand the world around them and interact with it appropriately. From birth, babies begin exploring the wonders in the world with their eyes. Even before they learn to reach and grab with their hands or crawl and sit-up, their eyes are providing information and stimulation important for their development. Healthy eyes and good vision play a critical role in how infants and children learn to see. Eye and vision problems in infants can cause developmental delays. It is important to detect any problems early to ensure babies have the opportunity to develop the visual abilities they need to grow and learn. Parents play an important role in helping to assure their child's eyes and vision can develop properly."

Rose Blake By the time a poor child is 1 year old, she has most likely already fallen behind middle-class children in her ability to talk, understand and learn. The gap between poor children and wealthier ones widens each year, and by high school it has become a chasm. American attempts to close this gap in schools have largely failed, and a consensus is starting to build that these attempts must start long before school — before preschool, perhaps even before birth. There is no consensus, however, about what form these attempts should take, because there is no consensus about the problem itself. What is it about poverty that limits a child’s ability to learn? Researchers have answered the question in different ways: Is it exposure to lead? Character issues like a lack of self-control or failure to think of future consequences? The effects of high levels of stress hormones? The lack of a culture of reading?"

Parents of new born babies are always excited about so many things. They are curious about so many issues related to their baby. One important issue most new parents often have on their mind is 'When will my baby start talking?' A baby's receptive language develops first before his expressive language.

"text": "kids and digital media - main.png Today’s generation of children and adolescents is growing up immersed in media, using platforms that allow kids to both consume and create content, including broadcast and streamed television and movies; sedentary and active video games; social and interactive media that can be creative and engaging for both individuals and groups; and even highly immersive virtual reality. This media landscape is completely different from what many parents grew up around, so it can be overwhelming at times. In 1970, children began watching TV regularly at about 4 years of age, whereas today, children begin interacting with digital media as young as 4 months of age. In 2015, most 2-year-olds used mobile devices on a daily basis and the vast majority of 1-year-olds had already used a mobile device. Preschoolers were already starting to media-multitask in this study (in other words, use 2 or more forms of digital media simultaneously, such as watching TV while using an i Pad). Pre-teens and adolescence use a combination of different digital media sources an average of 8-10 hours per day, often in the form of media-multitasking, which has been associated with more attention problems. Three quarters of teenagers own a smartphone, 24% of adolescents describe themselves as “constantly connected” to the Internet,and 50% report feeling “addicted” to their phones, according to research. Teens who report feeling “addicted” have higher rates of mental health problems as well. Excessive use of digital media, use too close to bedtime, or viewing violent content are associated with worse sleep, higher obesity risk, and worse developmental and academic outcomes. This digital media explosion can make a parent feel like he or she can’t keep up, keep track of what kids are doing, or how to create rules about media use, content, and manners."

Readily available tools for these investigations are their eyes, ears, and hands. What's more, they tend to figure out pretty fast which kinds of questions and behaviors generate the most interesting responses from adults.

The surviving parent is usually the main person who must provide the help a child needs in coming to terms with the death of the other parent. However, often the surviving parent is so involved and even incapacitated by their own grief that support from friends and relatives proves essential. It is important that all those close to a bereaved child should be able to discuss how it was and how it is. Children need to have the facts and the feelings surrounding their loss confirmed often; for this reason it is also important to listen to what they have to say. They will probably need to hear and discuss things over and over again. Check out what they think, correct and confirm the facts, help them accept their feelings. Above all accept their time scale - a child's grief can be spread over many years. It may also resurface in adulthood, especially at a time of crisis and/or celebration. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to grief and expressing loss, but being honest with children is essential in order to avoid them becoming confused by half-truths and fears."

We're only a grade apart, I was pushed up so it's not really that big a deal since we're not too far apart. We've been friends since elemntary school and we started dating when I was in ninth grade, now I'm a junior he's a senior. We've never had sex before, but we've talked about it alot and we're started to be ready. I've talked to my doctor and all I need to do is go in for an exam to get birth control, and he's got condoms and he knows how to use them and everything. We've thought everything through and we're really ready, but then we thought about if it was legally allowed. I know that Law and Order isn't the best source of information, but there's some kind of crime with haveing sex with someone who's an adult if you're only a teenager? I don't really know the rules, and though I'd never every report him to the police or anything like that, we're more worried if my parents found out and they overreacted. Basically, we want to know if there are any legal issues before we have sex or do we have to wait even more until I'm 17 or 18?"

What are the Department's expectations around compliance? The Department has worked collaboratively since the 2010 amendments to the HIV testing law went into effect to assist providers in complying with its terms. With the adoption of the regulations, we expect that all facilities and providers have implemented the routine offer of testing and other provisions of the law or have made their specific technical assistance needs known to the Department and are making substantial progress toward full compliance. Starting in 2015, the NYSDOH has contracted with IPRO to conduct a review of hospital policies and protocols, and patient charts related to streamlined HIV testing. The findings of this review will result in facility based technical assistance and corrective action plans as appropriate to ensure implementation of the HIV testing law standards."

In others, there are Parental Consent or Parental Notification laws. Parental Consent means that you will need to get permission from a parent if you are under a certain age, usually 18. Parental Notification means that you will have to tell a parent if you are under a certain age, usually 18, but you don't need their permission. The chart below shows the current situation for each state (last updated on 3/2018). You can find detailed information on your reproductive rights and monthly reports on Parental Consent and Notification laws at the website for the Alan Guttmacher Institute. Click on drop-down menu for \"\"Adolescents\"\" and then select \"\"parental involvement in minors' abortions. \"\" If you are thinking about an abortion and live where there is a Parental Consent/Notification law, it's a good idea to call a clinic in your state (or the Abortion Hotline at 1-800-772-9100 or Abortion Clinics Online) and talk with someone about your options. Usually you can get around telling your parents by going to a clinic in a state without these restrictions or, explaining your situation to a judge (this is called Judicial Bypass )."

S Woolley Correspondence to: Dr S Woolley Bristol Royal Infirmary/Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, Upper Maudlin Street, Bristol, UK; woolley_shotmail.com Abstract The Jehovah’s Witnesses Society (JW), a fundamentalist Christian sect, is best known to laypersons and healthcare professionals for its refusal of blood products, even when such a refusal may result in death. Since the introduction of the blood ban in 1945, JW parents have fought for their rights to refuse blood on behalf of their children, based on religious beliefs and their right to raise children as they see fit. Adolescent JWs have also sought to refuse blood products based on their beliefs, regardless of the views of their parents.http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/adc.2004.067843Statistics from Altmetric.com See more details Blogged by 4Tweeted by 856 readers on Mendeley1 readers on Cite ULike Traditionally, except in the emergency situation, parental consent is required in order to perform medical procedures on children, including adolescents. Courts throughout the western world recognise that parents have rights but additionally recognise that these rights are not absolute and exist only to promote the welfare of children. Worldwide, JWs have challenged this view. In addition to parental challenges adolescent JWs have been fighting their own battle to be recognised as mature enough to make their own decisions regarding blood products. Unfortunately, where the courts have been consistent regarding young children, they have been equally inconsistent where adolescent JWs are concerned. The legal inconsistencies mean that confusion still exists amongst the medical profession about their legal liability if they transfuse children of JW parents or adolescents of the JW faith. This article examines cases from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia, and clarifies any confusion that may exist regarding the necessary transfusion of the children of JWs and the refusal of blood products by adolescent JWs."

Long-term care is a type of skilled care or personal care service you might need if you’re unable to care for yourself because of an illness, disability, or cognitive impairment like Alzheimer's disease. Long-term care is different from traditional medical care, which tries to treat or cure illnesses. Long-term care may help you maintain your lifestyle but usually won't improve your medical condition. It helps with routine daily activities, such as eating, getting around, and bathing. It can also help if you need supervision, protection, or reminders to take medicine. Long-term care services can be provided at your home or in a hospice, adult day care center, nursing home, or assisted living facility. There are two types of long-term care services: Skilled care is for medical conditions that require a medical professional, such as a nurse or a therapist. It's usually provided in a nursing home or other care center. Personal care (sometimes called custodial care) helps you do routine activities."

In fact, mortgage discrimination because of age is illegal under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Whether you're 20 or 90, lenders are supposed to qualify you based on your ability to pay, not your age. The sole exception is a reverse mortgage, which requires that a borrower be 62 or older. Minimum Age A mortgage is a legal document, so you must be old enough to sign and be held legally responsible. The age when you can sign contracts is called the age of majority. It varies by state law, but it's 18 in most states, according to US Legal. The exceptions are Alabama and Nebraska, where's it's 19, and Colorado and Mississippi, where it's 21, according to Law Library. Lenders won't give you a mortgage until you can be held to the agreement. Qualifying at Any Age Mortgage lenders qualify you for a loan amount based on your ability to make the payments, no matter what your age."

"text": "Reverse Mortgage FAQs How does a reverse mortgage work? A reverse mortgage is a financial tool which allows seniors to convert the equity in their homes into cash in their hands. Depending on age, and equity specifics, a reverse mortgage works based on the concept of relinquishing one’s equity to the bank in return for eliminating mortgage payments, and even receiving significant cash payments. How long does it take for a reverse mortgage to close? On average, a reverse mortgage will take 20-30 days to close. Do I have to pay off my reverse mortgage? No. A reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan, or a loan which requires no repayment. This is why it is referred to as a reverse mortgage. Instead of making payments in an effort to repay a loan like most conventional loans, the reverse mortgage pays you, and the loan is due only after death of the last surviving spouse."

"text": "Reverse mortgage: What is it and how does it work? Doug Whiteman December 25, 2017 in Retirement Catherine Ledner/Getty Images A reverse mortgage is a type of home equity loan that’s reserved for older homeowners and does not require monthly mortgage payments. Instead, the loan is repaid after the borrower moves out or dies. Reverse mortgages are often considered a last-resort source of income, but they have become a great retirement planning tool for many homeowners. The first federally-insured reverse mortgage — also known as a home equity conversion mortgage, or HECM — was introduced in 1989. These loans allow people who are 62 or older to tap a portion of their home equity without having to move. Who would benefit from a reverse mortgage Steven Sass, research economist at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, says a reverse mortgage makes sense for people who: Don’t plan to move. Can afford the cost of maintaining their home. Want to access the equity in their home to supplement their income or have money available for a rainy day. Some people even use a reverse mortgage to eliminate their existing mortgage and improve their monthly cash flow, says Peter Bell, president and CEO of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, or NRMLA.“There are a lot of motivations leading into it,” Bell says. “"

A reverse mortgage is a home equity loan that permits you to convert some of the equity in your home into cash while you retain ownership. This can be an attractive option for senior citizens who may find themselves \"\"house rich\"\" but \"\"cash poor\"\", but it is not right for everyone. Please read this fact sheet carefully and consult a lawyer before you make any decision. Equity is the difference between the appraised value of your home and your outstanding mortgage balance. The equity in your home rises as the size of your mortgage shrinks and/or your property value grows. In a reverse mortgage, you are borrowing money against the amount of equity in your home. As the name says, reverse mortgage works like a traditional mortgage, only in reverse. Instead of a borrower making payments to a lender, the lender makes payments to the borrower. Unlike conventional home equity loans, most reverse mortgages do not require payment of principal, interest and certain fees as long as you live in your home."

Over time, inflation can eat away at the value of your annuity benefits or yield on a bond, but that's the worst that can happen. With a reverse mortgage, inflation could take away your home. Let's review the basics: With a reverse mortgage, you give the bank a mortgage on your home based on your current equity, and in return, it agrees to pay you a certain amount every month for some period of time — until you die, move out, or celebrate your 100th birthday. Maintaining your house, Home Owners Association, and paying property taxes are all part of the deal. Furthermore, you have to live in the home as your principal residence, so renting it out isn't an option. Now, imagine you own a $250,000 home and take out a home equity conversion mortgage (HECM) standard loan — one of the most common types of reverse mortgages — at age 65. Your payouts would be $754 each month. Instead of just discussing numbers, I want to show you how inflation would affect your purchasing power: Let's start with the icons."

Personal Finance 4/29/2015 @ 12:08PM 6,738 views It Just Got Tougher To Get A Reverse Mortgage Richard Eisenberg , Contributor New federal rules that kicked in on April 27, 2015 may make it harder for some people to qualify for reverse mortgages. But they’ll also make it more likely that those who do receive reverse mortgages will have fewer worries about them. Reverse mortgages are FHA-insured loans available to homeowners age 62 or older that let the borrowers convert their home equity to cash without making monthly payments; they’re repaid when the borrower sells the home, moves or dies. A 65-year-old with a $250,000 home might be allowed to borrow $127,000 with a reverse mortgage, according to the Boston College Center for Retirement Research. The New Financial Assessments Under the new rules (which sprang from a 2013 law ), to get a reverse mortgage, you’ll now be subject to what’s known as a “financial assessment” — much like what lenders do when sizing up applicants for regular mortgages. Lenders will now review the income, cash flow and credit reports of prospects. ( MORE: Reverse Mortgage Rewards and Risks)Basically, you’ll need to prove that you have the “willingness” and “capacity” to continue paying your home’s property taxes and insurance premiums. If the assessment convinces the reverse mortgage lender that you won’t have the cash to make those home-related payments, you may be rejected. That’s because a reverse mortgage borrower who fails to pay property taxes or homeowner’s insurance could be tossed out of the home and the house could then go into foreclosure."

"text": "Do I Need to Sell My Home to Pay Aged Care Bond and Nursing Home Costs? As financial planners who specialise in aged care advice, one of the most common questions we get asked is: do I need to sell my home to pay the aged care bond and nursing home costs? The quick answer is ‘maybe’, but increasingly ‘no’. What do I mean by this? First, let’s start with the typical problem. You or a family member have been confronted with the reality that mum, dad or a relative can no longer look after themselves at home and needs to enter residential aged care. Very often there is an lump sum payment that is required for admission to an aged care facility called an accommodation bond or post 1 July 2014 a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) . This bond can range from $200,000 right up to $1 million or more depending on:a) The assets of the person moving into careb) The demand for rooms in the area in which the aged care facility is locatedc) What you negotiate to payd) The quality of the extra services offered by the aged care facility Given that Australian middle income families have about 58 per cent of all household worth tied up in the value of their home, the forced sale of the house to pay an accommodation bond and nursing home costs is often required. However there is good news – other options are available. In many cases, it is now possible to raise some or all of the money required to pay an aged care bond via a reverse mortgage."

[ 1]In the United States, redlining is the practice of denying services, either directly or through selectively raising prices, to residents of certain areas based on the racial or ethnic composition of those areas. While the best known examples of redlining have involved denial of financial services such as banking or insurance, [2] other services such as health care [3] or even supermarkets [4] have been denied to residents (or in the case of retail businesses like supermarkets, simply located impractically far away from said residents) to result in a redlining effect. [ 5] Reverse redlining occurs when a lender or insurer targets particular neighborhoods that are predominantly nonwhite, not to deny residents loans or insurance, but rather to charge them more than in a non-redlined neighborhood where there is more competition. [ 6] [7]In the 1960s, sociologist John Mc Knight coined the term \"\"redlining\"\" to describe the discriminatory practice of fencing off areas where banks would avoid investments based on community demographics. [ 8] During the heyday of redlining, the areas most frequently discriminated against were black inner city neighborhoods. For example, in Atlanta in the 1980s, a Pulitzer Prize -winning series of articles by investigative reporter Bill Dedman showed that banks would often lend to lower-income whites but not to middle- or upper-income blacks. [ 9] The use of blacklists is a related mechanism also used by redliners to keep track of groups, areas, and people that the discriminating party feels should be denied business or aid or other transactions."

In addition to its versatility, HECMs are also extremely flexible, permitting changes in the ways in which seniors receive funds as their needs change over the years. Inevitably, however, the HECM is also very complicated, which prompts the need for this article. It is organized around the 21 questions that I receive most often from seniors.1. What Is a HECM Reverse Mortgage? It is a loan to a senior secured by a mortgage lien on the senior’s house, with most of the loan proceeds usually paid out over time rather than upfront, and with no repayment obligation so long as the senior lives in the house.2. What Are the Requirements For Obtaining a HECM Reverse Mortgage? You must be 62 years of age or older, and have significant equity in either a home that is your permanent residence, or one you plan to purchase using the reverse mortgage. The house must be single family, in a 2-to4 family structure, in an FHA-approved condominium, or an approved manufactured home Any existing mortgage on the home must be paid off when you obtain the HECM."

According to the Financial Conduct Authority, by 2020, 6m interest only mortgages will be due for repayment. It is thought that 10 per cent of these have no repayment strategy. If you have an interest-only mortgage, you have only been paying the interest on the loan, rather than the debt back. For example, if you have a £100,000 interest-only mortgage for 25 years, at the end of all those years of payments you will still need to find £100,000 to pay off the capital. Wake-up call: According to the FCA, by 2020, 6m interest-only mortgages will be due for repayments According to the FCA, the average outstanding balance of an interest-only mortgage customer is £55,000. Your bank or building society manager will want this money back once the loan comes to an end. But there is no need to panic. The key is to be prepared.

History Caraway is one of the most popular herbs which have long been prized for the excellence of its aromatic dried seeds as a condiment and an aid to digestion. Caraway was well known in classic days, and it is believed that its use originated with the ancient Arabs, who called the 'seeds' Karawya, a name they still bear in the East, and clearly the origin of our word Caraway and the Latin name Carvi, although Pliny would have us believe that the name Carvi was derived from Caria, in Asia Minor, where according to him the plant was originally found. In old Spanish the name occurs as Alcaravea. Caraway is another member of the group of aromatic, umbelliferous plants characterized by carminative properties, like Anise, Cumin, Dill and Fennel. It is grown, however, less for the medicinal properties of the fruits, or so-called 'seeds,' than for their use as a flavouring in cookery, confectionery and liqueurs . Description Caraway is a biennial and grows to a height of up to 2 feet with a spread of 12 inches. It has a thick, tapering root like that of a parsnip. The leaves are finely cut and resemble those of carrots but tend to droop more. The tender leaves in spring have been boiled in soup, to give it an aromatic flavour."

Most people seem to have a strong preference toward one method or the other, so I thought I’d show you both methods and tell you the advantage and disadvantages of both methods. That way you can try them both and make up your own mind which method you prefer. Today I’ll explain the continuous bias method, and tomorrow I’ll walk you through the steps of making bias strips using the more traditional method. I thought this would be an especially useful tutorial for you now that we’re releasing the Pinwheel Tunic + Slip Dress pattern, because both the tunic and the dress use quite a bit of bias tape. Don’t let bias intimidate you! Bias binding is really not so difficult, it adds a little pop of contrast color to the edge of a sewing project, and it’s a really easy way to finish an edge instead of using a facing or a lining. It’s way more fun to make your own bias binding because you can choose any color or print that you like. It’s perfectly fine to purchase bias tape pre-made, but keep in mind that pre-packaged bias tape usually contains quite a bit of polyester and is much more limited in the color and patterns and widths available. One thing to keep in mind, when you’re making bias tape: the width of the strips you cut should be four times the finished width of the finished binding."

' Diana is still a huge part of her boys’ everyday life and always will be. It is very important for Kate to share and understand William's love and grief for his mum,' a source told the Daily Mirror. Proud: William wants his mother to be with him in spirit when he marries'It is tragic that she won’t be there to see the wedding, and that she never got to meet his bride. ' But even though Kate never met Diana she knows what an incredible woman she was and it is very important to her she can share and understand William’s love and grief for his mum. ' However, a royal spokesman said: 'We cannot confirm or deny when either of the princes have made visits to the graveside of their mother for the reason that it is one of the most private aspects of their lives. ' A source added: 'This means from time to time stories will run that may or may not be true. '"

"text": "\"Peace Lily Myths and Legends The Peace Lily Plant or Spathiphyllum first came to Europe in 1824 when it was found by Gustav Wallis in the Colombian jungle. Wallis is remembered for his discovery in the Peace Lily's Latin name of S. Wallis. Along with the lush foliage, it's a cheap plant to buy, simple to care for with easy to follow care instructions and will also help filter the surrounding air of various toxins. When it comes to the meaning of the Peace Lily name this is down to the flowers with the white raised spathe looking like a white flag of surrender. The Peace Lily has a few all too common questions which this beautiful houseplant seems permanently tied to - \"\" What plants like dark places? \"\" and \"\" Why won't my Peace Lily Bloom again? \"\". Light Needs\"\" The Peace Lily plant likes dark places \"\" - This isn't completely wrong, but it's a misleading myth. Many plants will be reasonably happy in darker places but this is ultimately confusing a surviving plant against one that would positively thrive in different conditions. The Peace Lily is no different, if you put it in a bright spot without direct sunlight, growth will be rapid and robust. Of course as the common stereotype states, it will survive, adapt and grow (albeit slowly) even if you pick a darker spot in your home for it instead."

She has three children, 12 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and 15 great-great-grandchildren. She was a settler at the turn of the last century, ate with outlaws and lived through the Great Depression. So pardon her if she doesn't give a damn about being on TV. Nichole Mischke of Fox Spokane's Good Day Spokane dropped by Cheney Care Center in Spokane County, Washington, where Flossie has been since 2011, to wish her a happy birthday on Thursday, and maybe get some secrets to living a long life. But Mischke's relentlessly sunny disposition did little to move a distinctly unimpressed Flossie, who said she was 'not one bit' excited for her birthday party, and deftly swatted away the reporter's cheery questions with the determination of a woman who has seen more of life than most people on Earth, and isn't going to stop playing by her own rules now. What do you get a 110-year-old for her birthday?"

It is the 50th animated feature in the Disney Animated Canon and the second film in, what is considered to be, the Disney Revival era, and was released on November 24, 2010 in North America. The film tells the story of the long lost princess Rapunzel, who yearns to leave her secluded tower for an adventure. Against her stepmother's wishes, she accepts the aid of a handsome intruder, Flynn Rider, to take her out into the world which she has never seen. Before the film's release, its title was changed from Rapunzel to Tangled, reportedly to market the film as gender-neutral. Tangled spent six years in production at a cost that has been estimated at $260 million which, if accurate, would make it the most expensive animated film ever made. Composer Alan Menken, who had worked on prior Disney animated features, returned to score Tangled . Tangled premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on November 14, 2010, and went into general release on November 24."

She had long blonde hair until it was cut, and then she had brown hair. She is voiced by Mandy Moore. Contents [ show]Background Rapunzel is not a typical Disney Princess; she carries her blonde hair, which is 70 feet long and has the magical ability to both heal and reverse aging when she sings a special Healing Incantation song. Kidnapped by Mother Gothel when she was still an infant, Rapunzel had been raised and locked away in a tall tower up until her 18th birthday, when she is 'rescued' by Flynn Rider. However, she does view Mother Gothel as her maternal mother despite being kidnapped. Rapunzel spends her time painting, cooking, candle-making, reading, brushing her hair, playing with Pascal, observing the outside world from within the tower, singing, and interacting with Mother Gothel. Being immensely fascinated by the floating lanterns that took place on her birthday every year, Rapunzel begins to develop a sense of curiosity and seeks to fulfill the dream of seeing those \"\"lights in the sky\"\" one day. However, she does not overcome Mother Gothel's strict guardianship and thus has been staying in the tower, longing for the day when her life \"\"begins\"\". Personality Rapunzel is a spirited, smart, clever, kind, playful, and a very adventurous girl in her late teens, though a bit naive."

It was a decade that broke many fashion traditions, mirroring social movements during the time. Around the middle of the decade, fashions arising from small pockets of young people in a few urban centres received large amounts of media publicity, and began to heavily influence both the haute couture of elite designers and the mass-market manufacturers. Examples include the mini skirt, culottes, go-go boots, and more experimental fashions, less often seen on the street, such as box-shaped PVC dresses and other PVC clothes. Mary Quant popularised the mini skirt, and Jackie Kennedy introduced the pillbox hat; [1] both became extremely popular. False eyelashes were worn by women throughout the 1960s.

We had quite a few of them in our greenhouse in Connecticut which bloomed at the holidays with no effort at all. Now I grow them in my garden in Santa Barbara where they enjoy our year round temperate climate. Even if mine didn’t bloom, I’d love them anyway because of their unusual, appealing foliage and somewhat wacky growth habit. This epiphytic tropical cactus goes by Schlumbergia x buckleya or bridsii in botanic circles and has a somewhat confusing history regarding their genus. There is also a Thanksgiving Cactus, Schlumbergia truncata, so if yours blooms earlier then it could be this 1 and not the Christmas Cactus.

"text": "Evolving economic profiles will continue to be the most important trend shaping the market. Most large consumer-facing companies realize that they will need China to power their growth in the next decade. But to keep pace, these companies will also need to understand the economic, societal, and demographic changes shaping the profiles of consumers and the way they spend. This is no easy task not only because of the fast pace of growth and subsequent changes in the Chinese way of life but also because of the vast economic and demographic differences across the country. These differences are set to become more marked, with significant implications for companies that fail to grasp them. Since 2005, Mc Kinsey has conducted annual consumer surveys in China, interviewing a total of more than 60,000 people in upward of 60 cities. 1 Our surveys have tracked the growth of incomes, shifting patterns of expenditure, rising expectations—sometimes in line with those of the respondents’ Western counterparts and sometimes not—and the development of many different consumer segments. Those surveys now provide insights to help us focus on the future. We cannot, of course, predict it with certainty, and external shocks might confound any forecast. But our understanding of consumer trends to date, coupled with an analysis of the economic and demographic factors that will further shape them in the next decade, serve as a useful lens for contemplating the profile of the Chinese consumer in 2020."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Geography Age-Sex Pyramids and Population Pyramids The Most Useful Graphs in Population Geography Share Flipboard Email Printby Matt Rosenberg Updated February 03, 2018The most important demographic characteristic of a population is its age-sex structure. Age-sex pyramids (also known as population pyramids) graphically display this information to improve understanding and ease of comparison. The population pyramid sometimes has a distinctive pyramid-like shape when displaying a growing population. How to Read an Age-Sex Pyramid Graph An age-sex pyramid breaks down a country or location's population into male and female genders and age ranges. Usually, you'll find the left side of the pyramid graphing the male population and the right side of the pyramid displaying female population. Along the horizontal axis (x-axis) of a population pyramid, the graph displays population either as a total population of that age or a percentage of the population at that age. The center of the pyramid starts at zero population and extends out to the left for male and right for female in increasing size or proportion of the population. Along the vertical axis (y-axis), age-sex pyramids display five-year age increments, from birth at the bottom to old age at the top. Some Graphs Actually Look Like a Pyramid Generally, when a population is growing steadily, the longest bars of the graph will appear at the bottom of the pyramid and will generally decrease in length as the top of the pyramid is reached, indicating a large population of infants and children which declines toward the top of the pyramid due to the death rate. Age-sex pyramids graphically display long-term trends in the birth and death rates but also reflect shorter-term baby-booms, wars, and epidemics."

The number of people aged 80 and older is growing at a faster rate than any other age group worldwide. By the year 2050, there will be almost twice as many older non-working people than there are now, in contrast to the total number of workers. In 1950, there were 12 people of working age for every person age 65 or older. In 2010, there are only 9 contributing to old age support in their countries. That means that here in the U. S., fewer people are contributing to Social Security and Medicare in proportion to the number of people needing and using those programs. Earth Sky spoke with Carl Haub, a demographer at the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington D. C.- based think-tank, about why the population is getting older. He said it’s because couples are having fewer children, on average. He said: If a couple has two children themselves, then they basically replace themselves. But if they only have 1.2 or 1.3 or 1.4, every succeeding generation gets smaller and smaller."

Bloomberg | Getty Images Its population is aging fast as its one-child policy, begun in the 1970s, begins to bite. This, in turn, could lead to a huge labor shortfall by 2050, according to experts. China's workforce, those between the ages of 15 and 64, is expected to start contracting beginning in 2015. The number of new entrants into the workforce is already falling and will decline by 30 percent in 2020 compared to 2010, according to Beijing-based research firm GK Dragonomics. \"\" In the case of China, you have a shrinking number of people in the young adult workforce, shrinking numbers of children feeding into this force, and a growing number of the aging workforce,\"\" Judith Banister, senior demographer at Javelin Investments in Beijing, said. In 2010, there were 110 million people 65 and above in China; by 2030, the number will increase by more than 100 million, according to the United Nations. By 2050, more than a quarter of the population will be over 65.

The most recent estimate places the number lower at 126.82 million, still the world's 10th most populous country. Though in decline, it still holds that position in 2018 with an estimated 127.19 million people. The commonly held view that the population of Japan is in line for a sharp decline is backed up by the numbers. Based on the projections by the United Nations (visible in the graph below), the downturn will continue, and possibly accelerate. Japan is comprised of more than 6,800 islands, although its largest four claim 97% of its population. The 2016 estimated population of 127 million represents a major decline from its official 2010 census, and this is a major problem that Japan will need to face in coming years. As we’ve seen, the final census figures for 2010 showed a final count of 128,056,026 people with a population density of 336 people per square kilometers, thereby making Japan the 40th most densely populated country on the planet. Japan Demographics Unlike many other countries around the world today, the population of Japan appears largely homogenous with the final population statistics comprised of a 98.5% contribution from ethnic Japanese people."

"text": "\"dividend occurs when the proportion of working people in the total population is high because this indicates that more people have the potential to be productive and contribute to growth of the economy. According to the United National population research, during the last four decades the countries of Asia and Latin America have been the main beneficiaries of the demographic dividend. Advanced countries of Europe, Japan and USA have an aging population because of low birth rates and low mortality rates. Neither the least developed countries nor the countries of Africa have as yet experienced favourable demographic conditions according to the research by UN population division. China’s one-child policy has reversed the demographic dividend it enjoyed since the mid 1960s, according to a World Bank global development report. Demographic dividend, as defined by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) means, “the economic growth potential that can result from shifts in a population’s age structure, mainly when the share of the working-age population (15 to 64) is larger than the non-working-age share of the population (14 and younger, and 65 and older).” [ 1] In other words, it is “a boost in economic productivity that occurs when there are growing numbers of people in the workforce relative to the number of dependents.” [ 1] UNFPA stated that, “A country with both increasing numbers of young people and declining fertility has the potential to reap a demographic dividend. [ 1]Due to the dividend between young and old, many argue that there is a great potential for economic gains, which has been termed the \"\"demographic gift\"\". [ 2] In order for economic growth to occur the younger population must have access to quality education, adequate nutrition and health including access to sexual and reproductive health."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Geography Age-Sex Pyramids and Population Pyramids The Most Useful Graphs in Population Geography Share Flipboard Email Printby Matt Rosenberg Updated February 03, 2018The most important demographic characteristic of a population is its age-sex structure. Age-sex pyramids (also known as population pyramids) graphically display this information to improve understanding and ease of comparison. The population pyramid sometimes has a distinctive pyramid-like shape when displaying a growing population. How to Read an Age-Sex Pyramid Graph An age-sex pyramid breaks down a country or location's population into male and female genders and age ranges. Usually, you'll find the left side of the pyramid graphing the male population and the right side of the pyramid displaying female population. Along the horizontal axis (x-axis) of a population pyramid, the graph displays population either as a total population of that age or a percentage of the population at that age. The center of the pyramid starts at zero population and extends out to the left for male and right for female in increasing size or proportion of the population. Along the vertical axis (y-axis), age-sex pyramids display five-year age increments, from birth at the bottom to old age at the top. Some Graphs Actually Look Like a Pyramid Generally, when a population is growing steadily, the longest bars of the graph will appear at the bottom of the pyramid and will generally decrease in length as the top of the pyramid is reached, indicating a large population of infants and children which declines toward the top of the pyramid due to the death rate. Age-sex pyramids graphically display long-term trends in the birth and death rates but also reflect shorter-term baby-booms, wars, and epidemics."

Over the next four decades, Christians will remain the largest religious group, but Islam will grow faster than any other major religion. If current trends continue, by 2050 …The number of Muslims will nearly equal the number of Christians around the world. Atheists, agnostics and other people who do not affiliate with any religion – though increasing in countries such as the United States and France – will make up a declining share of the world’s total population. The global Buddhist population will be about the same size it was in 2010, while the Hindu and Jewish populations will be larger than they are today. In Europe, Muslims will make up 10% of the overall population. India will retain a Hindu majority but also will have the largest Muslim population of any country in the world, surpassing Indonesia. In the United States, Christians will decline from more than three-quarters of the population in 2010 to two-thirds in 2050, and Judaism will no longer be the largest non-Christian religion. Muslims will be more numerous in the U. S. than people who identify as Jewish on the basis of religion. Four out of every 10 Christians in the world will live in sub-Saharan Africa."

Phone: 205-975-9676; Fax: 205-975-8879; E-mail: [email protected] Next Section Abstract There is growing concern that the Fistula First Initiative, KDOQI guidelines, and subsequent pressure from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services lack reasonableness regarding likely success for fistula maturation in a heterogeneous, new-onset dialysis population. Here the various positions are examined from multiple perspectives. Previous Section Next Section Pro Life-sustaining hemodialysis requires durable vascular access to the circulatory system. 1 The ideal permanent vascular access must provide longevity of use with minimal complication rate and supply high enough blood flow to deliver the prescribed dialysis dosage. The native arteriovenous fistula is considered the best access to initiate patients onto hemodialysis because of its longer survival and lower complication rates as compared with other forms of vascular access, such as the synthetic graft. Large studies show a graded mortality risk from both cardiovascular and infectious diseases depending on access type, with the highest risk associated with catheters, followed by grafts, and then native fistulas. 2 According to one analysis, the cost of vascular access care was more than five-fold lower in those who began treatment with a functioning native fistula compared with those who were treated with a graft or permanent catheter. 3The National Kidney Foundation published the Dialysis Outcome Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines and opinion-based recommendations to improve vascular access outcomes."

Statistically speaking almost everyone will change jobs several times throughout their careers. Long gone are the days of getting a job straight out of school and staying there until you retire. However, changing careers entirely is something that needs to be seriously considered before taking the plunge. If your career involves sitting behind a desk, you’ve probably contemplated doing something with your hands, while those with outdoor careers will have thought that a career in an office sounds appealing. One option for office workers looking to change careers is to pursue a mature age or Adult Apprenticeship. However, there are many pros and cons to consider if you’re over 21 years of age and contemplating applying for an apprenticeship. Be Prepared for Less Money If you’re currently employed, chances are you will have to accept that you’re probably not going to be as well paid in the short term. How much you earn as a first year apprentice will depend on the trade and which state you live in. However, most apprentices make around minimum wage, which may be tough for those who already have existing financial commitments."

"text": "Investments in Debt and Equity Securities Chapter 14Among the reasons t hat companies invest in debt and equity securities of other companies are the following: As a safety cushion, to maintain a large enough liquid investment balance to tide the company over an emergency. To meet cyclical cash needs (for companies in highly seasonal businesses). To gain a return on idle investment To gain influence over the decisions of the company being invested in. To gain complete control over another company. When one company owns more than 50% of another company, the financial statements of the first company must combine the financial performance of the other company (its subsidiary) with its own performance as if the two companies were one single company. Debt securities have a maturity value representing the amount to be repaid, a fixed or variable interest rate, and a maturity date, when repayment of the debt is due. Equity securities represent ownership in a company and typically carry the right to collect dividends and to vote on corporate matters. FASB Statement No. 115, issued in 1993, requires financial statements to classify investment securities according to management’s intent in holding the securities.

After all, the cuties have different typical lifespans than humans, and they tend to retain their youthful appeal, even deep into older age. As with humans, the age of maturity depends on what facet of maturity you're considering. Reproductive Maturity Cats typically reach adolescence when they're around 6 months old, but the age of puberty varies. Certain breeds bloom much more rapidly than others. Siamese kittens may become reproductively capable at a mere 4 months, while a Persian kitty may not come into season for the first time until she's up to a full year old. The behavior of a cat who hasn't been spayed or neutered will unmistakably communicate the arrival of reproductive maturity. Male cats start roaming, display aggression, spray urine and vocalize. Females begin regular heat cycles and exhibit behaviors such as incessant meowing, crying, escape attempts and spraying."

This paper proves the opposite, at least if the measure is taken to be the average number of unique partners of the opposite sex over a lifetime. The reason for this is basically that more men are born than women, and both sexes share the same sexual encounters. The paper also includes some speculation about why it should be that so many people believe something that can’t be true. KEYWORDS: Median, Mean, Census– – –1. BACKGROUND. One June 28, 2007, Fryar, et. al. released a report that included the summary statement that “The median number of lifetime female sexual partners for men was seven and the median number of lifetime male sexual partners for women was four.” On August 12, 2007, Kolata reported this result in the New York Times, along with commentary that similar inequalities have been found in other surveys."

Minimum Age for Babysitting The minimum age to work varies by state; however, many states do not have any specific age for babysitting laws. One writer attempted to compile them and came up with over two-thirds of the state with no defined age, 10 states with a suggested minimum age, and only five states with a defined minimum age, which ranged from eight (Maryland, North Carolina) to 10 (Oregon, New Mexico, and 14 (Illinois) years of age. Laws can change, especially if there is a tragedy that spurs new legislation. You need to check with your state department of health and welfare or children and family services. This means that in most of the country, the determination of how young a child can start babysitting will most likely fall to the parents to determine.

"text": "\"Not many male calves grow up to be bulls. The overwhelming majority of male calves are castrated and sent to market as steers. Those males of exceptionally good quality are left intact to provide sperm for the next generation. Bulls reach sexual maturity before their first birthday. Puberty When bulls reach puberty depends on breed and body weight. Bulls are considered to have reached sexual maturity when their ejaculate contains at least 50 million sperm with a 10 percent motility rate. According to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the Brown Swiss bull -- a dairy breed -- reaches puberty at about 264 days old, while the Hereford -- a beef breed -- doesn't hit that mark until day 326. Overall, bulls reach puberty between the ages of 9 and 10 months. About three weeks before reaching puberty, male calves begin showing interest in the opposite sex. However, just because the bull is capable of breeding before reaching his first birthday doesn't mean it's a good idea."

Amy Graffposted: August 26, 2010, 5:17 pmin: Baby, Big Kid, You and Your Family, Health & Safety, Me & My Kids, Mom Stories Share Tweet Pin +10One of our go-to babysitters had a kid and no longer does nights. Another moved to Los Angeles to try to become an actress. It gets worse…Another joined the Peace Corps and will be spending the next two years in the South Pacific. And our last resort took off to teach English in Thailand. I’m beginning to feel rather depressed about never doing anything cool in my youth except get married and have babies…and about never going on a date with my husband because we don’t have a single babysitter to call on right now. We are hopelessly babysitterless. All of our former babysitters were college students as we live near a university but they obviously graduate and move onto more exciting things. I started to think maybe I should start shopping around for high school girls. And so when we recently moved into a new home and the cute young girl named Sophie who lives across the street said she was interested in babysitting, I was practically doing cartwheels."

"text": "\"Tequila - How is tequila made and what from? Twitter Google Email Words by: Simon Difford Photography by: Simon Difford Tequila is a distilled spirit made from the cooked and fermented juice of the agave (pronounced ‘Uh-Gah-Vee’), a spiky Mexican plant which resembles a cactus. Traditionally the process is labour intensive and artisanal – and many tequila distilleries still operate this way. However, like in most industries, technology has both speeded up the tequila making process and made it less labour intensive Even in the most technologically advanced facilities the process remains something of an art, starting with the labour-intensive hand-cutting and harvesting of agave, a plant that takes five to 12 years to reach maturity.1. The agave plant Tequila is made from the agave, pronounced 'Uh-Gah-Vee'. A native plant to Mexico, its name originates from a Greek word meaning 'noble' or 'admirable'. In Mexico the plant is also sometimes referred to as 'Maguey' (pronounced 'mag-gay'). Despite its spiky appearance the agave is not a cactus but a succulent plant with a botanical classification closely related to the sansevieria, yucca and amaryllis, part of the Century plant family and the genus Agavaceae. The simple and commonly accepted definition is that the agave plant is a member of the lily family. There are 166 different species of agave, 125 of which are found in Mexico."

We generally breed our boer and boer-cross does between 7 and 9 months of age depending on their body development. It is recommended that you wait slightly longer for pygmy does 10 to 12 months of age. We generally like to breed them during or after their second heat cycle. Q: Where can I give a CD/T shot so it is not obvious on a show goat? A: In some cases the CD/T vaccine will leave an injection site reaction which will leave a knot or lump that can be present for up to a few months. To minimize the visibility of a lump should it occur, we generally give the shot on the stomach or in the brisket area located just between the front legs in the extra skin of the chest (if injecting into the brisket area, it may be necessary to use a longer needle for proper penetration). Generally in either of these two locations the knot or lump will not be visible during show. We do not recommend giving the injection in the front shoulder or just under the front leg in what would be the arm pit area."

"text": "\"Pregnancy & Parenting Parenting At what age do you consider someone as mature?and not judging by behavior...by age Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Mature is a relative term. What's mature for a 5 year old might be immature for a 15 year old. And even once you're an adult in every sense of the world, you still (usually) get wiser and more mature as you age. Are you just saying what age do I consider someone to be an adult? It really does depend. A 16 year old who is self-sufficient, who takes responsibility for his own actions, etc would be an adult in my eyes...a 20 year old who can't find his butt with both hands and GPS, who depends on Mama to help him out, who sits at home and plays Mario Kart in the basement without adding anything to society - he's a child in an adult's body. The youngest I would consider someone to be an adult, I think, would be 15 or 16. I've found adults this young are rare in 21st century America...though of course, it's not completely their fault when they're expected to be children still (and having sex/doing drugs does not make you \"\"mature\"\"). Anonymous · 8 years ago4 0 Comment Taking your question as \"\"at what age would I assume that someone had basically the same level of life experience as me\"\", I'd say 22.

Within the small social confines of Cannon Falls and the surrounding townships, there were Dibble family weddings and births almost every year, and no doubt each event saw most or all of our principal characters facing each other around the altar, baptismal font, or dinner table. On the business side, the Minnesota Dibbles, Haldens, Moruds and Kowitzes prospered both on the farm and in town. The Goodhue County community itself was acquiring a cosmopolitan flair. The often subtly sarcastic Beacon reported in January, 1884, that \"\"Goodhue County is now blessed with seven first class newspapers,\"\" and went on to remark that, \"\"The affairs of the village must be gliding along very smoothly as the council has not had a meeting for months.\"\" ( That may have been because, at the time, Judge John Wilson was serving as virtually a one-man city government. While continuing his duties as Justice of the Peace, he was also the Village Clerk, Village Recorder, and Village Assessor.) The paper also indicated that Cannon Falls residents were looking outward with interest at the world around them; it reported that regular meetings of a Scientific Society (at which papers were presented) and a Free Trade Club were ongoing. Yet despite all of these joys, successes and intellectual pursuits, medicine remained primitive, both men and women were often overworked, and illness and death were never far away, even from those who seemed strongest. The farm in Stanton Township, now under the management of Alonzo's son Ed, began a transformation away from grain to a dairy operation that milked shorthorn cows."

In a match that kept the result in suspense, both Bingtao and 28-year-old Sajjad exhibited snooker of highest class, but eventually, it boiled down to nerves in the 15th frame where the Pakistani paid the price for a loose shot that broke the bunch and the Chinese teenager made a break of 60 to clinch the crown. It was befitting that Bingtao, showing maturity that belied his tender age, won the title as he looked the better player while Sajjad who could not reproduce his semi-final form, was left heart-broken, especially after playing so well right until the final frame when he was punished for a bad shot. Earlier in the day, Wendy Jans of Belgium won her fourth women's title and third on the trot when she beat Russia's Anastasia Nachaeva 5-2 in the final while Phisit Chandsri (Thailand) retained the Masters crown with a hard-fought 6-5 win over Welshman Darren Morgan. The first session of seven frames in the men's final was more of a hit-and-run with neither player able to settle into a consistent rhythm as their play alternated between high class and ordinary. There were misses galore from both as they fought hard for every point. It was a close match but the teenager held his nerve Bingtao was first off the blocks after Sajjad, who opened with an in-off but followed it up with a break of 44 on his subsequent visit, squandered an 11-point lead with the reds off the table. Bingtao made a delightful 27 clearance to go 1-0 up. Sajjad responded strongly to take the second frame, aided by small breaks with Bingtao unable to cash in on openings. The Pakistani took 2-1 lead with runs of 32 and 43, and looked poised to take the fourth frame too when he missed a top pocket red to leave Bingtao on."

"text": "Indian women push back marriage age Share Written By Vineeta Pandey Updated: Feb 20, 2010, 12:08 AM ISTA mindset-shift is in progress in India. In a country where half the girls were pushed into wedlock before they turned 18 — the minimum legal age for marriage — till a few years ago, more and more women are exchanging wedding vows late. Thanks to aggressive campaigns, incentives and stringent laws, early marriages look to be on their way out. The latest demographic indicators provided by the health and family welfare ministry reveal that the national average age of marriage for girls was 20.6 years in 2008, up from 18.3 years in 2001. The data reflects a progressive change in attitude towards the girl child over the last three years. In 2006-07, a National Family Health Survey-3 had reported that more than 50% of women in India were married off before 18. In comparison, men got married at a median age of 23.4 years. According to the ministry’s figures, in Jammu & Kashmir, women are getting married at an average age of 23.3 years. The corresponding figure for Kerala is 22.8; for Punjab 22.2; for Delhi and Himachal Pradesh 22.1 each; for Maharashtra 20.9; for Karnataka 20.3; and for Gujarat 21. In Rajasthan, a state notorious for child marriages, the average is up to 19.8 years from 16.6 years in 2001."

She is mentioned in Bhaktamal, confirming that she was widely known and a cherished figure in the Bhakti movement culture by about 1600 CE.

[ 1] [6]Thousands of devotional poems in passionate praise of Lord Krishna are attributed to Meera in the Indian tradition, but just a few hundred are believed to be authentic by scholars, and the earliest written records suggest that except for two poems, most were written down only in the 18th century.

Imran Ahmad Sajidi ABSTRACT In order to study anything, one must begin by making some assumptions about the nature of what is studied. For example, the ancient Greeks believed that the universe was run according to the whims of the gods. By contrast, all scientists assume that the universe is orderly, and operates in certain regular ways which we may be able to discover. Thus, Newton developed the laws of gravity after observing that apples always fall down, never up. A working set of assumptions is called a “perspective, an “approach,” or sometimes a “paradigm.”"

[ 1] Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle 's Poetics (c. 335 BC)—the earliest work of dramatic theory. [ 2]The term \"\"drama\"\" comes from a Greek word meaning \"\" action \"\" ( Classical Greek: δρᾶμα, drama ), which is derived from \"\"I do\"\" ( Classical Greek: δράω, drao ). The two masks associated with drama represent the traditional generic division between comedy and tragedy. They are symbols of the ancient Greek Muses, Thalia, and Melpomene. Thalia was the Muse of comedy (the laughing face), while Melpomene was the Muse of tragedy (the weeping face). In English (as was the analogous case in many other European languages), the word \"\" play \"\" or \"\"game\"\" (translating the Anglo-Saxon plèga or Latin ludus) was the standard term used to describe drama until William Shakespeare 's time—just as its creator was a \"\"play-maker\"\" rather than a \"\"dramatist\"\" and the building was a \"\"play-house\"\" rather than a \"\" theatre \"\".

Check out this list of adventurers we admire. Junko Tabei Japanese mountaineer, Junko Tabei, pushed through societal norms, an avalanche and funding issues to become the first woman to successfully climb Mount Everest and the Seven Summits (the tallest peak on all seven continents). Accomplishing that feat in the 1970s, she shattered society’s expectations of what it meant to be a mountaineer and changed the landscape for female adventurers. Junko Tabei In 2012, nearly 40 years after her historic Everest summit, she told the Japan Times, “Back in 1970s Japan, it was still widely considered that men were the ones to work outside and women would stay at home. There was never a question in my mind that I wanted to climb that mountain, no matter what other people said.” She went on to climb dozens more mountains all across the world, a map of which can be found here. Semit Lee In an effort to document the social and environmental conditions of the Yellow River in China, Semit Lee made the first solo expedition of the “Mother River.” The river runs for 3,590 miles and drops more than 14,500 feet, making it one of the most deadly in the world."

Stellar evolution can not be studied by observing individual stars as most changes occur over several millions and billions of years. Astrophysicists observe numerous stars at various stages in their evolutionary history to determine their changing properties and probable evolutionary tracks across the H-R diagram. The H-R diagram is a scatter graph of stars – a plot of stellar absolute magnitude or luminosity versus surface temperature or stellar classification. Stages of stellar evolution occupy specific regions on the H-R diagram and exhibit similar properties. One class of stars – the pulsating variables which include Cepheids, RR Lyraes, Semiregulars and Miras – occupy regions of instability on the H-R diagram and represent transitional periods between stages of evolution. The H-R Diagram The Periodic Table of the Elements The Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram is an analog to the periodic table of the elements. It was discovered that when the absolute magnitude (M V) – intrinsic brightness – of stars is plotted against their surface temperature (stellar classification) the stars are not randomly distributed on the graph but are mostly restricted to a few well-defined regions. The stars within the same regions share a common set of characteristics, just like the groups, periods, and blocks of elements in the periodic table. Unlike the periodic table, as the physical characteristics of a star change over its evolutionary history, its position on the H-R diagram changes also – so the H-R diagram can also be thought of as a graphical plot of stellar evolution."

[ 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."

"text": "Can Employers Discriminate Against Younger Workers? October 23, 2009 at 2:47 pm by: Virginia Employment Law Letterby Hillary J. Collyer Given the current economic slump, there is a particularly high rate of unemployment among younger workers. Accordingly, employers may be receiving an increased number of resumes or job applications from recent graduates who are still looking for their first job out of college. Also, in recent years there’s been a lot of focus on the arrival of the Millennials, or Generation Y, into the workforce. While they bring many positive attributes to the workforce ( e.g., they’re technologically savvy, confident, and have high expectations), there are negative traits associated with the group as well ( e.g., they’re overindulged, impatient, and self-absorbed). An employer might wonder what the consequences are for favoring older applicants or employees over younger ones. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) makes it unlawful for you to “ discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s age .” It’s important to note, however, that only workers who are at least 40 years old are allowed to file a claim under the ADEA. HR Guide to Employment Law: A practical compliance reference manual covering 14 topics, including discrimination Supreme Court’s Cline decision In the 2004 decision General Dynamics Land Systems, Inc. v. Cline, the U. S. Supreme Court settled a conflict among the lower courts over the viability of so-called “reverse age discrimination” claims under the ADEA.

Title VII also prohibits employment decisions based on stereotypes and assumptions about abilities, traits, or the performance of individuals of certain racial groups. Title VII prohibits both intentional discrimination and neutral job policies that disproportionately exclude minorities and that are not job related. Equal employment opportunity cannot be denied because of marriage to or associations with an individual of a different race; membership in or association with ethnic based organizations or groups, or attendance or participation in schools or places of worship generally associated with certain minority groups. Title VII also deals with harrassment on the basis of race and/or color."

"text": "Job Searching Career Advice What Is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)? Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Alison Doyle Updated October 09, 2017The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a federal agency charged with enforcing laws prohibiting job discrimination. The EEOC investigates charges of discrimination and attempts to settle them when discrimination is found. If charges can’t be settled, the EEOC may file a lawsuit on behalf of the individual or the general public. ( However, the agency notes, “We do not, however, file lawsuits in all cases where we find discrimination. ”)In addition to investigating complaints and dealing with charges of discrimination, the EEOC conducts outreach programs to prevent future cases of discrimination. The EEOC is headquartered in Washington, D. C., and has 53 field offices throughout the United States. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)Legislation covered by the EEOC include laws that prohibit discrimination, provide for equal pay, and mandate equal access to employment for qualified individuals with disabilities. These laws include: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Federal contractors and subcontractors must take affirmative action to ensure equal access to employment without considering race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."

"text": "\"Facts About Age Discrimination Who the ADEA Protects The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects applicants and employees who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. Who the ADEA Covers The ADEA applies to private employers with 20 or more employees, state and local governments, employment agencies, labor organizations and the federal government. Actions Prohibited By the ADEAUnder the ADEA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his or her age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training. Harassing an older worker because of age is also prohibited. It is also unlawful to retaliate against an individual for opposing employment practices that discriminate based on age or for filing an age discrimination charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or litigation under the ADEA. The ADEA permits employers to favor older workers based on age even when doing so adversely affects a younger worker who is 40 or older. ADEA protections also include: Advertisements and Job Notices The ADEA generally makes it unlawful to include age preferences, limitations, or specifications in job notices or advertisements. A job notice or advertisement may specify an age limit only in the rare circumstances where age is shown to be a \"\"bona fide occupational qualification\"\" (BFOQ) reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the business. Apprenticeship Programs It is generally unlawful for apprenticeship programs, including joint labor-management apprenticeship programs, to discriminate on the basis of an individual's age. Age limitations in apprenticeship programs are valid only if they fall within certain specific exceptions under the ADEA or if the EEOC grants a specific exemption."

State law and the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act, also called the ADEA ( 29 U. S. C. 621 to 634 ), prohibit employers from discriminating against protected workers or applicants because of age. Who is Covered by the ADEAThe ADEA protects workers age 40 and older from age-based discrimination that relates to terms, conditions, or privileges of employment. The ADEA applies to workplaces with 20 or more employees, including labor organizations, employment agencies, state and local governments, and the federal government. Age Discrimination Law and the Employment Relationship An employer may not discriminate based on age when making employment decisions about hiring, firing, promotions, layoffs, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training. Even if a practice or policy appears neutral because it applies to all workers, if it results in a negative impact on workers age 40 or older and it is not based on a reasonable factor other than age, it may be illegal. Age Discrimination Law and Harassment Employees covered by the act also receive protection from harassment based on age when behavior is frequent and severe enough to create a hostile or offensive work environment or results in an adverse employment decision against the protected worker. Exceptions to the ADEABesides the exception for companies with fewer than 20 employees, other exceptions to the law apply, including: Bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ). Certain age limitations are allowable if there is a bona fide reason to implement them. The age limitation in question must be necessary in order for the worker to perform the functions of the job adequately."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Employment discrimination law in the United States derives from the common law, and is codified in numerous state and federal laws, particularly the Civil Rights Act 1964, as well as in the ordinances of counties and municipalities. These laws prohibit discrimination based on certain characteristics or protected categories. The United States Constitution also prohibits discrimination by federal and state governments against their public employees. Discrimination in the private sector is directly constrained by the Constitution, but has become subject to a growing body of federal and state law. Federal law prohibits discrimination in a number of areas, including recruiting, hiring, job evaluations, promotion policies, training, compensation and disciplinary action. State laws often extend protection to additional categories or employers. Under Federal law, employers generally cannot discriminate against employees on the basis of: Race [1]Sex [1] [2]Pregnancy [3]Religion [1]National origin [1]Disability (physical or mental, including SOUP [ citation needed] status) [4] [5]Age (for workers over 40) [6]Military service or affiliation [7]Bankruptcy or bad debts [8]Genetic information [9]Citizenship status (for citizens, permanent residents, temporary residents, refugees, and asylees) [10]Some studies have found declining gaps in earnings by race overtime as access to high quality education has improved and anti-discrimination and affirmative action policies have been implemented.

While most state laws protect workers on the same grounds as federal law, Alabama law provides little protection for workers against discrimination. Employment discrimination laws generally protect not only present employees, but also former employees and some people, like applicants for jobs, who never have been employees. Some of the federal anti-discrimination laws are:42 U. S. C. section 1981, a federal law that was originally passed after the Civil War, prohibits race discrimination in all contracts, which not only includes employment but also all other types of contracts as well. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits disability discrimination in public services and accommodations. Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination because of race, color, sex, religion or national origin. This law applies to public employers and private employers with at least 15 employees, employment agencies, apprenticeship programs and unions. 42 U. S. C. section 1981 prohibits all race discrimination in all contracts, even between individuals. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits employment discrimination because a worker is age 40 or older.

"text": "\"The Age Discrimination Law at 50: A Mixed Bag One likely unintended consequence and a few ideas for improvement By Chris Farrell Unretirement Expert February 14, 2017This year marks the 50 th anniversary of the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), passed during a flurry of initiatives during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations to boost civil rights and improve the quality of life for older Americans. ( Think liberalizing Social Security and the passage of Medicare, Medicaid and the Older Americans Act. ) But before you roll out a cake and celebrate for this golden anniversary, it’s worth taking a hard look at what the age discrimination law has really done. How the Age Discrimination Law Likely Backfired I have, and am here to report that although the law has been somewhat effective in lessening age discrimination in the workplace, it may have had one gigantic, unpleasant, unintended consequence: The Age Discrimination in Employment Act may be a factor in why older workers are less likely than their younger peers to find a new job after a layoff. The original ADEA protected workers between ages 40 and 65 from discrimination in hiring, firing and other conditions of employment at employers with 20 or more workers. Congress subsequently strengthened the law and eliminated the upper age limit. Lahey discovered that female job applicants under 50 were 40 percent more likely to be called back for an interview than those over 50. Layoffs Then and Now When Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz testified before a Senate subcommittee in 1967, he noted that applicants over 55 were barred from half of all job openings in the private sector and that workers over 65 weren’t welcome, period. These days, thanks in part to the law, older workers appear less vulnerable, on average, to being the sole target of layoffs during a restructuring. Very few employers — especially large ones with human resource departments —engage in that kind of overt discrimination anymore (especially the version that leaves a trail of e-mails and public outbursts)."

"text": "\"The U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Employee Rights When Working for Multinational Employers As the workplace grows more global and mobile, increased numbers of employers have international operations, resulting in more international assignments of their employees. The following provides general guidance concerning employees' rights under the United States' equal employment opportunity laws (U. S. EEO laws) when working for multinational employers. Work in the United States and U. S. Territories All employees who work in the U. S. or its territories -- American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U. S. Virgin Islands -- for covered employers are protected by EEO laws, regardless of their citizenship or work authorization status. Employees who work in the U. S. or its territories are protected whether they work for a U. S. or foreign employer. Example: Kim is a Chinese citizen working in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands for a Chinese manufacturer of women's attire. Kim's manager threatens Kim with losing her job if she does not comply with his sexual demands. Kim is protected by U. S. EEO laws because she works in a U. S. territory. The employer can be held liable for sexual harassment. Working for Non-U. S. Employers in the U. SThe only exception to the rule that employees working in the U. S. are covered by federal EEO laws occurs when the employer is not a U. S. employer and is subject to a treaty or other binding international agreement that permits the company to prefer its own nationals for certain positions. Example: ABC Communications is an Egyptian Company doing business in the U. S. Under a \"\"friendship, commerce and navigation treaty\"\" (\"\"FCN\"\") between the U. S. and Egypt, Egyptian companies operating in the U. S. are authorized to hire Egyptian citizens for executive positions."

Employees are protected from discrimination at all stages of employment including recruitment, workplace terms and conditions and dismissal . Stereotypes and assumptions about young people and mature workers can have a big influence on decisions in the workplace. Employees are protected from discrimination at all stages of employment including recruitment, in workplace terms and conditions, return to work after illness or pregnancy or dismissal and retrenchment. People are also protected from discriminatory advertising that may deter them from applying for a role. Age discrimination in employment can include:advertising for someone to join a ‘dynamic, young team’not interviewing someone because they are too young or too old to ‘fit in’ with other staffnot employing younger workers because it’s assumed that they’ll quickly move on to another jobnot employing mature workers because it’s assumed that they’ll soon retirenot providing training opportunities for young or mature workers because ‘it’s not worth it’making choices around redundancy, or forcing someone to retire, because of their age. The positive duty An employer has a duty to take reasonable measures to prevent discrimination from happening, rather than just respond to complaints that arise. This is called a ‘ positive duty ’. It means that an employer needs to take proactive steps to eliminate discrimination. For example this could mean scanning their environment and considering if recruitment and employment policies and processes unreasonably bar people of certain age groups from being employed or continuing to work."

It is also illegal to retaliate against a person because he or she complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit. The law forbids discrimination in every aspect of employment. The laws enforced by EEOC prohibit an employer or other covered entity from using neutral employment policies and practices that have a disproportionately negative effect on applicants or employees of a particular race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), or national origin, or on an individual with a disability or class of individuals with disabilities, if the polices or practices at issue are not job-related and necessary to the operation of the business. The laws enforced by EEOC also prohibit an employer from using neutral employment policies and practices that have a disproportionately negative impact on applicants or employees age 40 or older, if the policies or practices at issue are not based on a reasonable factor other than age. Job Advertisements It is illegal for an employer to publish a job advertisement that shows a preference for or discourages someone from applying for a job because of his or her race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. For example, a help-wanted ad that seeks \"\"females\"\" or \"\"recent college graduates\"\" may discourage men and people over 40 from applying and may violate the law. Recruitment It is also illegal for an employer to recruit new employees in a way that discriminates against them because of their race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. For example, an employer's reliance on word-of-mouth recruitment by its mostly Hispanic work force may violate the law if the result is that almost all new hires are Hispanic.

"text": "Age Discrimination in the Workplace Chicago Employment Discrimination Lawyer The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) makes it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees who are 40 years of age or older. With few exceptions, employers are forbidden from making decisions such as hiring, promotion, demotion, termination, compensation, benefits, and job training based on the age of the applicant or employee if the employee is age 40 or older. The Illinois Human Rights Act and ordinances in Cook County and the City of Chicago also prohibit age discrimination. If you believe you have been fired, demoted, passed over for a promotion, or otherwise mistreated because of your age, consult with an experienced attorney at the Law Offices of Fern Trevino. The firm has successfully handled numerous age discrimination claims. Because the firm takes an individual approach to each client's case and takes the time to fully understand the client's goals and concerns, the firm is able to develop a strategy geared towards achieving a successful result. The firm takes age discrimination cases seriously and is prepared to carefully negotiate or fight in court on your behalf. Age Discrimination and the Legal Remedies That May Be Available To You Remedies available under the ADEA include lost wages, front pay (pay to compensate you for lost future earnings that you would have earned had you not been discriminated against), reinstatement, attorney's fees, and court costs. If the employee can prove that the discrimination was willful, then the award may include double wage and benefit damages. Age discrimination can be proven through: Direct evidence, such as statements or documents showing age discrimination Circumstantial evidence, such as evidence that younger, similarly-situated employees have been treated more favorably Many employees have a combination of claims, such as an age discrimination claim and a retaliation claim for having complained of discrimination."

"text": "\"Employment Discrimination Law and Legal Definition Employment Discrimination laws seek to prevent discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, physical disability, and age by employers. There is also a growing body of law preventing or occasionally justifying employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. Discriminatory practices include bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, compensation, and various types of harassment. The main body of employment discrimination laws is composed of federal and state statutes. The United States Constitution and some state constitutions provide additional protection where the employer is a governmental body or the government has taken significant steps to foster the discriminatory practice of the employer. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution provide protection against discrimination by federal and state governments. The Fifth amendment prohibits the federal government from depriving individuals of \"\"life, liberty, or property,\"\" without due process of the law. It also guarantees that each person receive equal protection of the laws. The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits states from violating an individual's rights of due process and equal protection. In the employment context, the right of equal protection limits the power of the state and federal governments to discriminate in their employment practices by treating employees, former employees, or job applicants unequally because of membership in a protected group, such as a race or sex."

An employer could refuse to pay wages to his or her employees, could force employees to work long hours in unsafe conditions, and terminate an employee for any reason at all. Now, employees in Florida and around the nation are protected by legislation that gives them certain rights, as well as remedies for when an employer does violate their rights. Understanding employment law is important in ensuring your employer treats you fairly and will help you know what to do when you feel your rights have been violated. Basics of Employee Rights Legislation Three main federal laws are responsible for many of the workplace rights enjoyed by employees. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) mainly governs issues regarding employee wages and overtime hours. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides employees with certain protections if the employee must temporarily leave his or her job because of certain health-related issues."

Numerous laws and amendments, and a handful of executive orders, have expanded, limited or directed the Commission's responsibilities and authority. Some of the most significant are collected here. For historical reasons, these are presented as originally passed by Congress or issued by the President. Many, but not necessarily all, of the subsequent amendments are also gathered here. For the current texts of the laws we enforce, as amended, please see Laws Enforced by the EEOC. The Supreme Court The various laws that govern EEOC's actions are subject to interpretation by the federal court system, and most importantly by the Supreme Court. These interpretations have at times reinforced, and at other times forced change upon, EEOC's role as a law enforcement agency. Some of the most significant such cases have been collected on the following page. Executive Order 8802In June 1941, on the eve of World War II, President Franklin D.

"text": "\"California Law on Age Discrimination in the Employment Setting Prepared By: Melissa C. Marsh, Los Angeles Employment Attorney Written: March 2009In California it is illegal to discriminate or harass any employee who is over the age of 40. Pursuant to the law, age, like race and gender, is a protected class. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), enacted in 1967, serves to protect individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. Pursuant to the ADEA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his/her age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment (hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, apprenticeships and training). The ADEA applies to employers with 20 or more employees. Despite the hefty penalties that typically result from an age discrimination case, employers just don't seem to get it. In Fiscal Year 2005, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (\"\"EEOC\"\") received 16,585 age discrimination claims, of which 14,076 were resolved with payments of $77.7 million (not including monetary benefits obtained through litigation). In 2007, the number of age discrimination complaints filed increased to 19,103. Examples of unlawful behavior that can trigger a successful age discrimination lawsuit include: Posting a job offer seeking college graduates, or qualified employees in a certain age bracket;Hiring a younger job applicant over a more qualified older employee just because the other applicant was younger;Denying older workers training or educational classes offered to other younger employees;Denying a promotion to an older worker, and hiring a younger person to fill the position;Creating a hostile work environment for older workers by discussing work after hours at a club or bar to which the older employees are not invited, making jokes or snide comments about the older workers, or routinely assigning undesirable or demeaning tasks to the older workers;Engaging in acts designed to encourage the older workers to quit; and Implementing a layoff that even with no discriminatory intent, disproportionately affects the older people at the company. This article explores three examples where an employer's business plans and policies subjected them to age discrimination lawsuits, and presents suggestions on how to avoid age discrimination lawsuits and claims."

Here are ten (10) of the most important employment laws that supervisors need to be aware of and the major responsibilities that supervisors typically are responsible for in ensuring compliance.1. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act Purpose: To prohibit job discrimination in the workplace Overview: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act covers an employer who has fifteen (15) or more employees and prohibits discrimination against any individual on the bases of race, religion, color, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, parental status, national origin, age, disability, family medical history or genetic information, political affiliation, military service, or any other non-merit based factor. The law also protects individuals from harassment in the workplace. Supervisor Responsibilities: Supervisors must treat all employees and applicants consistently and equally, without regard to their race, color, religion, gender, national origin or any other characteristics that are protected under law. Supervisors are not to base any employment decisions on these protected characteristics, cannot deny opportunities to an individual because of their characteristics, and cannot retaliate against an employee. Supervisors are to treat all employees respectfully and avoid unwanted/unwelcomed behavior that constitutes harassment.2. FLSAPurpose: To establish a minimum and overtime wage for nonexempt employees Overview: The Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) establishes standards for minimum wage (The 2013 federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour and Ohio's is $8.10), overtime pay (one-and-one-half-times the regular rate of pay), and child labor, and defines which employees are considered exempt and non-exempt for the purposes of carrying out the law. The law also addresses what work time needs to be paid, including waiting, on-call, training/meetings, and travel time, as well as rest periods, meals, and breaks. Supervisor Responsibilities: Supervisors must ensure that employees are paid properly in accordance with the law's provisions and for all hours that they work (particularly overtime)."

Who the ADEA Covers The ADEA applies to private employers with 20 or more employees, state and local governments, employment agencies, labor organizations and the federal government. Actions Prohibited By the ADEAUnder the ADEA, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his or her age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training. Harassing an older worker because of age is also prohibited. It is also unlawful to retaliate against an individual for opposing employment practices that discriminate based on age or for filing an age discrimination charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or litigation under the ADEA. The ADEA permits employers to favor older workers based on age even when doing so adversely affects a younger worker who is 40 or older. ADEA protections also include: Advertisements and Job Notices The ADEA generally makes it unlawful to include age preferences, limitations, or specifications in job notices or advertisements. A job notice or advertisement may specify an age limit only in the rare circumstances where age is shown to be a \"\"bona fide occupational qualification\"\" (BFOQ) reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the business. Apprenticeship Programs It is generally unlawful for apprenticeship programs, including joint labor-management apprenticeship programs, to discriminate on the basis of an individual's age. Age limitations in apprenticeship programs are valid only if they fall within certain specific exceptions under the ADEA or if the EEOC grants a specific exemption."

It is also illegal to retaliate against a person because he or she complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit. The law forbids discrimination in every aspect of employment. The laws enforced by EEOC prohibit an employer or other covered entity from using neutral employment policies and practices that have a disproportionately negative effect on applicants or employees of a particular race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), or national origin, or on an individual with a disability or class of individuals with disabilities, if the polices or practices at issue are not job-related and necessary to the operation of the business. The laws enforced by EEOC also prohibit an employer from using neutral employment policies and practices that have a disproportionately negative impact on applicants or employees age 40 or older, if the policies or practices at issue are not based on a reasonable factor other than age.

For example, a help-wanted ad that seeks \"\"females\"\" or \"\"recent college graduates\"\" may discourage men and people over 40 from applying and may violate the law. Recruitment It is also illegal for an employer to recruit new employees in a way that discriminates against them because of their race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information.

Andrew Abramson is a Philadelphia age discrimination lawyer who represents employees in age discrimination cases. In Pennsylvania, an employer, cannot terminate, refuse to hire, or otherwise discriminate against an employee in any respect because of an employee's age. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) provide protections against employment discrimination for employees who are over the age of 40. When Congress passed the ADEA making age discrimination at the workplace illegal, it found that setting arbitrary age limits regardless of an employee’s job performance was a common practice and the law needed to promote employment of older persons based on their ability, rather than age; to prohibit arbitrary age discrimination in employment. An employee must be at least 40 years of age under federal and Pennsylvania law to be protected. A typical age discrimination case may involve an employee who is over 40 years of age who was treated differently in the workplace than a substantially younger employee. In order to satisfy the substantially younger requirement, it is not necessary that the person being treated more favorably be less than 40 years of age. A claim may also involve two employees over 40, where for instance, an employee who is over 60 years of age is treated less favorably than another employee, who is 45."

If you expect your company to compete and succeed in this new world order, you need to take a close look at the advantages and disadvantages of diversity in the workplace. Advantage: Better Financial Results Numerous studies have found that companies with diverse teams are more profitable than homogenous businesses. A 2015 Mc Kinsey report on public companies noted that those with the most ethnic and racial diversity in their management were 35 percent more likely to be financially successful. Advantage: Global-Level Competition Millions of Americans are employed by foreign-owned companies. We live in a global economy, and the companies that consistently top the Fortune 500 list are global in nature. Companies need to employ people who represent diverse populations and points of view to compete on this world stage. What sells in small-town America may not fly in the cities of the United Arab Emirates. On the other hand, if you understand the culture and the economies of each, maybe it will.

"text": "\"View All Articles Take advantage of age diversity, leverage its strengths Candace Walters Published in the Rochester Business Journal Article October 16, 2009 Talent Acquisition Print This Article A human resources manager I know recently offered up a compelling example of the differences in attitude among the generations in the workplace today. She was working with an intern who had landed a full-time position with the company. A starting date was agreed upon and an offer letter was signed far in advance. But just one week before the new employee was to report to work, he called the HR manager and requested that the starting date be pushed back two months. The reason, he explained, was that he wanted more of a break before he started working for the rest of his life. This surprising request - made in the face of a challenging economy and job shortage - exemplifies some of the traits found among younger workers: They are self-assured, entitled and certain that they \"\"call the shots. \"\" Generational differences among employees can be advantageous to any organization. Diversity fosters creativity and expands an organization's approach to problem solving. An age-diverse work force also can help to ensure that a firm's talent pool is fully tapped. But diversity also comes with challenges."

"text": "Effects of Globalization on the American Workplace/Worker Posted on December 9, 2011 by Tyler J. Mc Kim Globalization is a reference to the modern day increase in global relations culturally and economically. More often than not, it refers to the economic stand point. The reduction of international trade barriers, through things like tariffs, is a significant factor in the economic growth in developed and developing countries. In the United States, globalization has become a hot button topic and has created a rift in society due to the polarized view of the citizens. College educated workers are more likely to be for the expansion, while less-educated workers are often against the idea. The work place sees a change in many factors through globalization, but not all of the changes are beneficial. Cultural diversity is increased by opening trade barriers and the diversity in the workplace is extremely noticeable. Earnings are affected for both the company and the employees with the companies reaping the benefits and employees taking the hit. Employee training has experienced changes to incorporate the increasing diversity in the work force. Globalization has had a positive effect on the standards that companies are held to as well."

Formal teams are the units constituted by management as part of the organization structure. These teams are equipped with financial and physical resources, together with the appropriate amount of authority to carry out their roles. The principal role of formal teams is to further the aims and objectives of the organization as established in the mission statement and policy statement. Team Size The optimal team size is determined by a number of factors, such as the number of people required to complete the task and the amount of coordination needed to work together. Larger teams are typically less effective because their members will consume more time and effort coordinating their roles and resolving their differences. Larger teams also have tendency to break into smaller informal groupings, thereby jeopardizing the unity of the team. Team Composition When creating formal teams, managers look for employees who are likely to remain motivated to be in that team. Such employees must be motivated to work together rather than alone, abide by the team's code of conduct and support the team's goals. Employees with a strong collectivist orientation--those who value group goals more than their own personal goals--tend to perform better in teams."

"text": "Interviewing Preparing for Interviews There are some major factors that must be taken into consideration when scheduling interviews. First, the search committee and chair must determine how many people (aside from the main committee) will meet with each applicant one-on-one, in an open-forum, or during professional presentations. These people include prospective peers, subordinates, department heads/chairs, etc. Various customers or constituents might also be included in interviews. Another factor that must be taken into account is the potential need for the search committee to arrange or provide meals and other social events as well as transportation and lodging. The committee chair is usually the chief host, but will often seek volunteers for or assign committee members to assisting with hosting applicants. As a host, a committee member may be responsible for picking up an applicant from the airport, taking him/her on a campus tour, having dinner, and answering questions about the position in question and the selection process. The committee chair may also ask the hiring department to assist with the many administrative and logistical requirements of arranging and holding on-site interviews. When applicants will be meeting with more than the search committee during their visit to campus, the search committee should send applicants a schedule of events in advance. The schedule should note the names and titles of the individuals with whom the applicants will meet."

"text": "\"Difference Between Diversity and Inclusion• Categorized under Words | Difference Between Diversity and Inclusion Diversity vs Inclusion If you are working with English-speaking colleagues or in an English-speaking country, you will probably hear the terms “diversity” and “inclusion” in your workplace. The two words and concepts are related but not exactly the same. This article will explain diversity and inclusion and advise you on how to use and understand them in English. “Diversity,” pronounced /daɪˈvɜːrsəti/, has two main definitions, according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary: [countable or uncountable noun, usually singular] “A range of many people or things that are very different from each other. ”“Variety” is a synonym for the above meaning of diversity. We would use “diversity” in this sense when talking about “biological diversity” or having “great/wide/rich diversity/variety.” Here is the second definition of “diversity”: [uncountable noun] “The quality or fact including a range of many people or things. ”In an English-speaking workplace, you will most likely hear people using “diversity” in this second sense. There are many different types of diversity: racial or ethnic diversity, cultural diversity, diversity of background, religious diversity, political diversity, diversity of age, educational diversity, diversity of sexual orientation, gender diversity, and even disability diversity. Use the word in collocations such as “greater diversity,” and “ [to have] diversity.”"

Probably not. The demographics of the American workforce have changed dramatically over the last 50 years. In the 1950s, more than 60% of the American workforce consisted of white males. They were typically the sole breadwinners in the household, expected to retire by age 65 and spend their retirement years in leisure activities. Today, the American workforce is a better reflection of the population with a significant mix of genders, race, religion, age and other background factors. The long-term success of any business calls for a diverse body of talent that can bring fresh ideas, perspectives and views to their work. The challenge that diversity poses, therefore, is enabling your managers to capitalize on the mixture of genders, cultural backgrounds, ages and lifestyles to respond to business opportunities more rapidly and creatively. Here are two examples of the challenges inherent in managing a diverse workforce: An American health insurance company hired employees from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds. The variety of different native languages and cultures, however, did not mix."

S. labor force will be comprised of minorities by 2008. More importantly, it estimates that from 1998 to 2008 some 41 percent of the people entering the U. S. workforce will be minorities. Most companies in America recognize that there are significant advantages to diversity in the workplace. By integrating workers from culturally diverse backgrounds into their workforce companies become much stronger. However, many firms don’t understand the importance or challenges of workplace diversity. Diversity needs to be seen as an integral part of the business plan, essential to successful products and increased sales. This is especially true in today’s global marketplace, as companies interact with different cultures and clients. Among the advantages of diversity in the workplace are: increased creativity, increased productivity, new attitudes, new language skills, global understanding, new processes, and new solutions to difficult problems.1. Creativity increases when people with different ways of solving difficult problems work together towards a common solution. There is no one best answer to any question--the more ideas you can obtain from different people, the more likely you are to develop a workable answer."

From our increasingly diverse domestic workforce to the globalization of business, cultural competence is arguably the most important skill for effective work performance in the 21st century. What is cultural diversity in the workplace? Culture refers to the 7 Essentials of Workplace Cultural Competence: the values, norms, and traditions that affect the way a member of a group typically perceives, thinks, interacts, behaves, and makes judgments. It even affects perceptions of time, which can impact day-to-day scheduling and deadlines. Cultural competence, in brief, is the ability to interact effectively with people from different cultures. This ability depends on awareness of one’s own cultural worldview, knowledge of other cultural practices and worldviews, tolerant attitudes towards cultural differences, and cross-cultural skills. Cultural Diversity Newsletter: Articles, Reports, Tips and More Get Free Articles The more different cultures work together, the more cultural competency training is essential to avoid problems. Cultural problems can range from miscommunication to actual conflict, all endangering effective worker productivity and performance, as explored in this video about challenges of culturally diverse teams at work.

Some of the key characteristics of workforce diversity include race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, ability, and sexual orientation. A company that embraces diversity can broaden its skill base and become more competitive and innovative. Workforce diversity also brings with it a number of issues and challenges.

A new survey commissioned by Microsoft ( MSFT) found that young girls in Europe become interested in so-called STEM subjects around the age of 11 and then quickly lose interest when they're 15. \"\" Conformity to social expectations, gender stereotypes, gender roles and lack of role models continue to channel girls' career choices away from STEM fields,\"\" said psychology professor Martin Bauer of the London School of Economics, who helped coordinate the survey of 11,500 girls across 12 European countries. The survey also found that girls' interest in humanities subjects drops around the same age but then rebound sharply. Interest in STEM subjects does not recover. \"\" This means that governments, teachers and parents only have four or five years to nurture girls' passion before they turn their backs on these areas, potentially for good,\"\" Microsoft said. A new Microsoft-commissioned survey shows European girls lose interest in STEM subjects around the age of 15. Microsoft admitted it doesn't have a comprehensive explanation for why 15-year-old girls lose interest in science and math. But it has uncovered some strategies to keep them engaged: Promote female role models in STEM subjects: It's much easier for girls to imagine a career in STEM subjects if they see successful examples. Microsoft also found that girls are more likely to pursue a career in this area if they think men and women will be treated equally in the workforce. \"\""

"text": "\"Salary of a Division III Soccer Coachby Lauren Miller; Updated September 26, 2017The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) comprises three divisions of sports competition for colleges and universities. Large, well-endowed institutions that offer athletic scholarships in most sports make up Division I, while smaller schools without full athletic scholarships make up Division III. More than 400 schools compete in Division III, and soccer programs at these schools are divided into more than 40 conferences nationwide. The salaries of soccer coaches vary depending upon several factors. Duties and Qualifications Soccer coaches are charged with much more than devising game strategy, designing practice regimens and managing rosters. They must also have in-depth knowledge of NCAA regulations. All coaches must pass an annual NCAA rules test. Schools require coaches to have a bachelor’s degree. A master’s degree will enhance a coach’s chance of employment and earning potential. Most coaches have previous playing experience on the college level."

Eskilson Published: January 8, 2013 0 Comments Only days after the some of the top boys club soccer teams in the nation wrapped up play at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando, Florida*, the top girls club soccer sides took the fields. On the line for some of the elite few was a spot in the US Youth Soccer (USYS) National Championship thanks to their participation in National League play. The Disney Soccer Showcase presented by Roma is set up for the teams in the USYS National League to get three games in group play at the Showcase to count toward this season’s league standings while remaining in the format of a competitive tournament. There were eight clubs that seized the opportunity at the event and qualified for one of the spots at the USYS Nationals, which will be held in July in Kansas. In the oldest age group, Lou Fusz Wipke (Missouri), Team Chicago Academy Botafogo, and Virginia SA Heat Blue all clinched a place in the U18 National Championship with good showings in Central Florida. Team Chicago FC Botafogo led the way with a 3-0-0 record from National League Red Bracket play with wins over Blast FC, Virginia SA Heat Blue, and Space City FC. Botafogo capped the showing with a convincing 6-2 win over Javanon SC 95 Black (Kentucky) in the U18 Showcase Red Championship. With UCLA commit Zoey Goralski, Kentucky commit Zoe Swift, and Wake Forest commit Jenna Romano leading the way, the Chicago club clinched the top spot in the National League Red Bracket and is one of the favorites to win it all this summer. VSA Heat Blue locked down the runner-up spot in the National League Red division and a spot at Nationals as well. Lou Fusz SC Wipke finished third in the U18 Showcase – Black bracket after a 1-0 win over FC Frederick 94 (Maryland) in the consolation game."

Her mother, Kristen Counce, estimates that the family from Jonesboro, Ark., spent $15,000 to $20,000 a year so Bishop could play select softball for the Mc Kinney-based Texas Glory club. “People are like, ‘You all have lost your mind,’” Counce said. “ It’s been a ride, but I would do nothing different. It’s so worth it. ”That’s because it paid off with Bishop getting a scholarship offer and committing to Oregon, a team that was ranked No. 1 in the country and reached the final four of the Women’s College World Series in 2014. Many coaches, both for high school and select teams, said that it has become a requisite to play club sports in order to land a Division I scholarship in a major team sport other than football. If an athlete wants to be seen by coaches from the biggest colleges, it often requires paying big money to play for a high-profile club team that travels across the nation."

NCAA Division I women's teams score an average of 60.937 points each game. These figures are calculated by adding 16 teams' point totals together on a particular night and dividing that number by 16. The Best Basketball Tips website points out that scores are typically in the 60s or 70s. NCAA basketball games are generally lower scoring than professional games, and several factors contribute to the difference in scoring. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Game Length and Personal Fouls NCAA men's Division I games consist of two halves, each 20 minutes long. An NBA game is four quarters, each 12 minutes in length. NBA players have more time to generate a greater number of points, resulting in higher scores. Also, NCAA players are allowed only five personal fouls in a game before they are ejected. An NBA player is allowed to commit six before disqualification."

"text": "\"Introduction This guide was developed to assist you in answering some of the more common questions concerning travel soccer. Travel soccer team play not only requires that your son or daughter be capable of playing at a high level relative to the rest of their age group, but also involves a substantial commitment in time, energy, and money from both the player and their families. While we attempt to respond to many of the different situations, you may find that some extraordinary circumstances, based on your family’s personal demands are not included in this guide. What is travel soccer? Travel soccer is a sponsored program of SYC. The travel soccer program is organized by age and gender. It provides a highly competitive training and playing environment for those players (and their families) who have the required athletic ability, soccer skills, commitment, and can meet the other demands placed upon them. How does travel soccer differ from the regular house or recreation soccer league? SYC soccer travel teams are competitive. Therefore, making the roster, and staying on the roster, must be earned based on the team member’s play."

For one thing, if there WAS such a factor, everyone would figure it out and work on it... and then there would have to be some OTHER factor that makes the difference between those that make it and those that don't.

At the age of 15, he made the move to England to join up with City's youth set-up. He progressed through a good youth team which included the likes of Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joey Barton. Dunfield made his first Premier League appearance against Chelsea for Manchester City in 2001, coming on in the 36th minute for Jeff Whitley.

In 2002, he was loaned to Bury, where he revelled in the opportunity to play first-team football. At the end of his loan spell, and although Keegan planned to offer him a new contract, Dunfield asked to leave City. Dunfield subsequently signed a three-year deal with Bury, where he made 74 league appearances during his time with the club."

Statistics for both High School and College athletes above report participation on school sponsored varsity, JV and freshman teams, and do not reflect club, travel and/or intramural sports teams. We did not compute odds for the following sports as the resulting percentages would not be meaningful due to an insufficient number of high school participants to make a valid comparison of high school to college athletes and/or a disproportionately high percentage of club and/or travel team participants that do not appear in the high school data for that particular sport.

Playing club soccer and attending soccer camps and showcases is essential in the process of securing a soccer scholarship. With the majority of scholarships coming outside of the NCAA DI level, finding a scholarship comes down to finding the best division level for you. College Soccer Recruiting basics: With over 1,200+ men’s college soccer programs across the country and over 1,400 women’s programs finding a scholarship is harder then you might think.

"text": "At what age do children start losing their baby teeth? Answers from Thomas J. Salinas, D. D. S. Multimedia Baby teeth diagram A child's baby teeth (primary teeth) typically begin to loosen and fall out to make room for permanent teeth at about age 6. However, sometimes this can be delayed by as much as a year. The first baby teeth to fall out are typically the two bottom front teeth (lower central incisors) and the two top front teeth (upper central incisors), followed by the lateral incisors, first molars, canines and second molars. Baby teeth usually stay in place until they are pushed out by permanent teeth. If a child loses a baby tooth early as a result of tooth decay or an accident, a permanent tooth might drift into the empty space. This can crowd permanent teeth and cause them to come in crooked. When your child starts to lose his or her baby teeth, reinforce the importance of proper dental care. For example: Remind your child to brush his or her teeth at least twice a day. Supervise and offer assistance as needed."

Answer by Kneb139 Confidence votes 11no Actually I am living proof that adult permanent teeth (at least my two front ones) do indeed slowly grow as they wear down. When I was a kid, I had an accident that damaged the outer surface of my two front middle lower teeth below the gumline. As I aged, the marks slowly showed higher and higher on my teeth and now I am 61 and the marks have almost disappeared off the top of my teeth. It has taken something like 50 years for the tooth to grow the length of itself above the gumline. If you think of it, as a tooth wears, it must indeed keep replacing itself, otherwise older people would have nothing left of their teeth, just nubs. And this also shows me that indeed my teeth have worn that much in 60 years. I mentioned this to my dentist yesterday, and he as much as called me stupid for suggesting that adult teeth grew. Not possible said he, I must be confused and mistaken.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

In their first few weeks, babies like looking at faces. If a face is close they'll focus on it and follow it. By two weeks most babies begin to recognise their parents. It's essential to encourage your child's learning in these early weeks, and talking to your baby is a great way to start. A health professional, usually a health visitor, will carry out a new baby review during these weeks. They'll talk to you about feeding your baby, becoming a parent and how you can help your baby to grow up healthily. As a minimum, your baby should be weighed with no clothes on at birth and again at five and 10 days.1-4 weeks Startled by sudden noises If your baby hears a loud noise they may be startled."

"text": "\"Pregnancy & Parenting Grade-Schooler At what age does a child's adult teeth start to come through?and at what age does he/she loose the last of his/her milk teeth? Follow 17 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Adult teeth start to actually form under the gumline under the milk teeth at around 2 or 3 years of age. If you were to take your child to a dentist at this age they would actually be visible to the dentsit on an x-ray film. My dentsit showed me my son's and I was so surprised. So, with that it's a very wise idea to make sure they get the right vitamins and minerals in their diet for healthy teeth formation and you start as early as possible in teaching good dental habits., Even infants should have their gums wiped off daily. Now each child is different for when they actually loose their first tooth, the average age is 5. You could give or take a year with that though; due to each child's difference. It's best no matter what age to take your child in for dental exams every 6 months, even when they have just their milk teeth. If you cannot afford dental care you can call your state's nearest Department of Health to be directed in a low cost or free dental plan for where you live."

Though you lose them early in life, your primary teeth, also called baby teeth, are essential in the development and placement of your permanent teeth. Primary teeth maintain the spaces where permanent teeth will erupt and help develop proper speech patterns that would otherwise be difficult; without maintenance of these spaces, crowding and misalignment can occur, resulting in more complicated treatment later. Baby teeth also are primers for teaching your child good oral care habits. It is important to take care of your child's primary teeth. Even though primary teeth last only a few years, decay, cavities and infection can take its toll and may require expensive treatment to repair. When do baby teeth come in? Your child's primary teeth generally make their appearance when he or she is 6 or 7 months old, though it can occur as early as birth. There are 20 primary teeth, followed by 32 permanent teeth that will eventually replace them."

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: They start loosing the front teeth at about 4 - 5 mos, and usually the canines at 6 mos, and by 8 mos they pretty much have all their adult teeth. It is a process you usually don't notice, as you will not find your dogs baby teeth just laying around, they tend to ingest them while eating or drinking, so if you really want to know if he's loosing any, just take a peek at his teeth every now and again. Which you should do any way, because later on if you want to be able to brush your dogs teeth (saves hundreds on dental cleanings as an adult) he will be used to your lifting his gums and exposing his teethbuggsnme2 · 1 decade ago5 0 Comment Asker's rating There is no speicfic age that I know of. They all seem to start loosing them at around four months. The best way to tell is when they really start chewing on things. I mean chewing. I don't think the breed has much to do with it except a runt may be later. Give them their own toy and nothing else."

I’m Dr. Holly Austgen with Southeast Family Dental and today we are going to talk about children that are missing their adult teeth. As children start losing their teeth, many parents worry about how and when the adult teeth will come in. But what if they haven’t come in or you have been told they won’t? Now what? There are many reasons why children will not get their adult teeth. First, it’s possible that the child lost their baby tooth too early and the adult tooth is not ready to come in. It could also be that the adult tooth does not have enough room to come in between the teeth that are already there, or for that, or one other reason, the adult tooth simply did not form."

Usually, the first two teeth to erupt are the two bottom central incisors (the two bottom front teeth). Next, the top four front teeth emerge. After that, other teeth slowly begin to fill in, usually in pairs -- one each side of the upper or lower jaw -- until all 20 teeth (10 in the upper jaw and 10 in the lower jaw) have come in by the time the child is 2 ½ to 3 years old. The complete set of primary teeth is in the mouth from the age of 2 ½ to 3 years of age to 6 to 7 years of age."

A child comes in with his permanent lower incisors coming in behind the baby teeth. We sometimes call it \"\"Shark\"\" teeth. The baby teeth have not come out like they were supposed to. It is most common with the lower front teeth when the child is six years old and then the upper back molars when the child is around eleven years old. A common \"\"emergency\"\" is when a parent notices a permanent tooth coming in behind a primary (baby) tooth. It's not really an emergancy, but needs to be addressed. In the normal course of events, the permanent teeth slowly dissolves the baby tooth root as it comes in up under the baby tooth. Finally, there is not much root left.

Puppies, like new-born babies, are born without teeth. Canines will not grow their first baby teeth till they reach about six to eight weeks of age. Dogs normally grow as many as 28 teeth, which are commonly referred to as the baby teeth or the deciduous teeth. The first few teeth that eventually fall out are the incisors, next are the premolars, and then the canines. Remember that puppies do not have molars, just the premolar teeth. What Happens during Fido’s Teething Process The teething process in puppies tends to continue on for several months, normally off and on. This period is usually painful and uncomfortable for the little pooch. Most of the time, the teething puppies lean towards increasing their biting as well as chewing needs as they often resort to testing out various objects with different textures in order to gain relief from the discomfort.

Every time the tooth fairy pays a visit, you may wonder--why do kids grow a mouthful of teeth, only to lose them just a few years later? Well, humans aren't the only mammals to have baby teeth. Dogs have them. So do rabbits and cows. In animals they're called milk teeth. Other animals--like the shark--keep growing and shedding new teeth their entire lives. In humans, baby teeth--which are also called primary or deciduous teeth--do more than give kids an adorable smile."

Most children have a full set of 20 baby teeth by the time they’re three. Adult teeth start developing inside babies’ jawbones after birth. After a baby tooth falls out, an adult permanent tooth takes its place. Children usually start losing their baby teeth from around six years of age. From 6-12 years, children have a mixture of adult and baby teeth. The baby teeth at the back are replaced around 10-12 years of age. By this age, most children have all their adult teeth except for the third molars (wisdom teeth)."

"text": "Auremar/Photo Spin Significant Dental Milestone Six years of age is a big milestone where your child’s mouth is concerned. It is around this age that your child will start to lose teeth and make room for the adult teeth. But this whole adult tooth stage actually starts with the eruption of the six-year-old molars. These molars will come in behind the last deciduous (baby) molar. The six-year-old molars are the “first molars” and set the boundary that will help all the other adult teeth align in the mouth. This Article Improved My Health Changed My Life1Saved My Life1Many parents are aware that children start losing teeth at age six or seven, usually the two bottom middle teeth (central incisors), but are not expecting molars also to erupt about this time. It is not uncommon for children to experience similar teething symptoms (e.g., mild fever, crankiness, swollen gums, mild diarrhea) as they did when they were teething as infants. In What Order Do Baby Teeth Fall Out and Adult Teeth Come In? Generally, girls get their adult teeth earlier than boys and it is expected that the earlier the baby teeth come in, the sooner they will start falling out and the adult teeth will move in. Baby teeth usually fall out in the same order in which they came in."

When do kids lose their teeth? According to the Mayo Clinic, children begin to lose their baby or primary teeth around the age of six and may continue to lose their teeth up to the age of 13. While this range will vary from child to child, girls tend to lose their teeth sooner than boys. The following are some tips to help you and your child prepare for the first loss of a baby tooth. Start the Conversation Early A common question from many children is, \"\"Why is my tooth falling out?\"\" Baby teeth loosen as their roots begin to dissolve. The time it takes for one tooth to fall out after it has become loose is generally a few months. As the adult tooth begins to grow, the baby tooth becomes increasingly looser."

"text": "Teething (Primary Tooth Eruption)Teething occurs when your child’s “baby” or “milk” (primary or deciduous) teeth break through the gum and start to grow in. Teething, or primary tooth eruption, usually begins around six months of age, but it is normal for teething to start at any time between three to 12 months of age. The front teeth are the first to erupt at around six to eight months; the back teeth erupt between 18 and 24 months. Teething, sometimes referred to as “cutting teeth,” occurs until all 20 primary teeth are in place. This is normally around two and a half years of age. Normal Teething Sequence Exactly when and how teething begins seems to be hereditary, does not have anything to do with the baby’s health, and tends to occur earlier in females than in males. However, if primary tooth eruption has not begun by 15 or 18 months, consult a pediatric dentist. While teething or eruption patterns vary greatly from child to child, primary teeth typically emerge in a specific sequence. The general eruption pattern is: Two bottom front teeth (central incisors)Four upper front teeth (central and lateral incisors)Two lower lateral incisors First molars Four canines or eye teeth (on either side next to the upper and lower lateral incisors)Remaining molars on either side of the existing teeth When a child is five or six years old, the primary teeth start falling out because the permanent (secondary) teeth are erupting underneath them, pushing them out. The eruption of permanent teeth occurs in the same approximate manner and sequence as primary teeth."

She may also begin to lick herself a lot. If you own more than one dam, they will usually cycle together; one dam in heat will bring other dams into heat. A female should NEVER be bred on her first heat (she has immature eggs) and preferably not her second either.

If not spayed, a female cat will come into season at 15-21 day intervals, and each will last approximately 7-10 days.

However, not all veterinarians are trained to perform surgery on young dogs. If you can't find a good veterinarian trained to spay a young dog, have her spayed at 6 months or as close after that as possible. If she is spayed before her first heat, she will reap many more health advantages than if she experiences even one heat cycle. The neuter surgery should be done when the dog is young and healthy, usually between 5 and 8 months old. In the female, ideally before the first heat. Also, be sure to not get her spayed too early, some vets will say it can be done as early as two or three months. This can lead to bladder problems for life (i.e. fallen bladder, frequent urination and difficulty controlling bladder). Trust me, it's not fun!"

Erskine El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011A pseudo pregnancy or a false pregnancy occurs when a female dog is within 45 to 60 days of coming out of her heat cycle. At this time, she will begin to show signs of pregnancy without mating. You might notice increase mammary size, lactation, nesting and she may even try to mother other animals in the house or her toys. The reason behind this normal phenomenon is due to the decrease in progesterone levels after ovulation, which leads to an increase in the prolactin hormone. A false pregnancy can last a few weeks, but you should try to discourage the act of pregnancy or it may last longer."

Sperm may survive in various storage areas of the male reproduction tract for up to a month after neutering allowing impregnation to still be possible for this time. If it has been more than a month after neutering, your dog should be sterile and unable to impregnate a female. However, even if he has no sperm, a neutered male dog can still get an erection and theoretically tie with a female dog. This will not result in pregnancy if it has been more than a month since he was neutered.

A puppy is adorable but coupled with the decision to get one is the responsibility to ensure the well being of the pet. While some breeds will grow rapidly, others will grow at such a slow rate so that even after a year, the pet will still be viewed as a puppy. This is especially true with breeds that retain their puppy-like playfulness through adulthood. It must be realized that the puppy will mature and be an adult capable of producing a litter of cuddly fur balls. Surely, a dog owner would not want to be surprised.

The primary reason this is done so early is that, though there may be health costs to the pet, the overall balance of saved lives outweighs the individual health concerns. It's the 'Greater Good' concept. In the seventies and eighties I was a manager/director in the animal shelter field. Even when we required sterilization via contract and refundable deposit, so many of these pets weren't. Year after year we would see their progeny at our doors and in the euthanasia room. So I can't in good conscience speak against the shelters and rescues that prematurely sterilize baby animals. We are making great gains in humane efforts. When I was active, the euthanasia roll call was in the sixty millions, now it is only around four or five million depending on who you hear it from.

Unlike other species, the heat cycle of canines does not seem to follow any logic such as following a specific seasonality or temperature change. Rather, it just occurs regardless if it is the dead of the winter of the dog days of summer. Many times the dog's heat cycle, better known as estrous cycle, seems to be quite unpredictable. The first heat generally occurs around six months in small, medium dogs and around 12-18 months in larger breed dogs. However, It is not unheard of some giant dog breeds going into heat at around 30 months of age. Phases of the Dog's Heat Cycle The cycle is divided in four distinct phases. Proestrus This is when the dog's reproductive tissues swell and appear puffy. A bloody discharge will take place as the female carefully licks herself quite often in order to keep herself clean. Loss of appetite and irritability are not very uncommon."

Puppies are expensive to care for and they quickly ruin the living condition in your house. A responsible breeder will wait until the dog reaches two years of age. In fact, since you are asking the question here, I would suggest that you not breed your dog at all. Nature says that a dog is \"\"safe\"\" to breed as soon as it enters its first heat. The young dog can breed and no harm will come of it. Personally, I use two (2) years because, at that age, the dog will be fully developed and any faults will have been expressed by that time. If you are breeding a non-champion, you are making a mistake. If you are blending breeds, you are definitely making a mistake. The world has plenty of unwanted dogs with unstable temperments, don't make more."

"text": "\"Estrus Cycles in Dogs By Cheryl Yuill, DVM, MSc, CVHBreeding, Care & Wellness When does a female dog have her first estrus cycle? Dogs will have their first estrus cycle when they reach puberty. Estrus is the stage of the reproductive cycle in which the dog can become pregnant; sometimes a dog that is in estrus is said to be \"\"in heat\"\" or \"\"in season\"\". On average, puberty or sexual maturity is reached at about 6 months of age, but this can vary by breed. The smaller breeds of dogs tend to have their first estrus cycle at an earlier age, while the large and giant breeds of dogs may not come into heat for the first time until they reach eighteen months to two years of age. Estrus is the stage of the reproductive cycle in which the dog can become pregnant. How often does a female dog come into heat? Most dogs come into heat twice per year, or about every six months, although the interval can vary between breeds, and from dog to dog. Small breed dogs may cycle three times per year, while giant breed dogs may only cycle once every 12-18 months. When young dogs first begin to cycle, it is normal for their cycles to be somewhat irregular."

"text": "The practice of early age spay/neuter, which was endorsed by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) in 2006, generally refers to dogs or cats which are at least two pounds and/ or two months of age at the time they are altered. These young animals recover from surgery more quickly than do older ones, they experience less blood loss and far fewer post operative complications than do adult animals and altering animals before the onset of breeding related behaviors (marking, etc), usually prevents these behaviors from starting (it’s easier to avoid problem behaviors than to cure them), a fact which helps the animal keep its home and keeps unwanted future litters from entering the shelter. The behaviors which are prevented by spaying or neutering the pet before the onset of sexual maturity include spraying and roaming in male cats, marking, roaming and fighting in male dogs and of course the problems associated with female cats and dogs when they go into “heat.” The problems associated with female dogs and cats going into heat range from annoying (vocalizing in cats or spotting blood in dogs) to dangerous (attracting male dogs resulting in fights), which is why many apartment and subsidized housing managers demand that pets be altered. Organizations that focus on spay neuter often hear concerns about early age surgeries. Some of the challenges to early age spay neuter are farfetched; and some were thought to be valid but have been proven false throughout years of research (such as urinary tract problems in male cats) and some may have validity relative to a particular animal or type of animal (giant breeds of dogs for example). However, in all cases, delaying the sterilization of dogs and cats as a matter of course, instead of due to a veterinarian’s decision regarding a single case, exposes many, many more animals to cancer, neglect and homelessness than any data can support. No documented problems make early age sterilization, or sterilization before the first heat cycle, ill advised, especially when contrasted with the significant dangers of mammary tumors, pyometra or the tragedy of homelessness. No pet should be adopted out without being altered first; sterilization contracts are difficult to enforce and unaltered animals are less likely to keep their homes than are altered animals due to the breeding related behaviors. Sadly, any shelter which releases intact dogs may be the single largest source of homeless dogs in the very community that they serve."

Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The heat cycle for dogs will vary greatly. I have known dogs to come in heat as young as 5 months or as old as 13 months. She will usually be very swollen in her personal area, you will see spots of blood where she sits or sleeps between the 7 and 14th day of heat. Heats are pretty much the same duration, 21 day (give or take 3 days) You can expect a heat cycle about every 5 to 8 months, it will vary greatly between dogs. If she gets pregnant at this young age it is a huge strain on her body. At 6 months of age she is about as devolped as an 11 year old child. She will be trying to develop babies, but her own body isn't fully developed yet, one or the other will not be getting the nutrients they need. ** NOTE** keep her away from ANY males for the the entire 21 to 25 days."

The greatest puppy development changes happen from birth to 12 weeks of age, but even after that, your fur-kid still has a lot of growing up to do. How Puppies Develop The juvenile puppy period generally begins at age 10 weeks and lasts until puberty and the onset of sexual maturity. It's during this period that puppies begin to learn the consequences of behavior and begin to determine what's most appropriate to certain circumstances. Puppies at this age have boundless curiosity, exasperating stubbornness, and enthusiastic affection. As long as you expect your pup to get into everything, you won't be disappointed. In fact, this is an ideal time to begin dog training. Nearly every waking moment of this juvenile period is spent in play, which is great fun for babies and great practice for canine life. With play, puppies learn how to do important dog activities like chasing and running, pawing, biting, and fighting. Social skills and canine etiquette are also learned by interaction with littermates and Mom."

Smaller breeds become reproductively mature as early as 6 months of age but finish growing between 12 and 15 months of age; larger breeds may be reproductively mature by age 1 but they may grow until age 2. When a puppy is in season, her body remains immature -- it's not ready to gestate and deliver a litter. A female dog who is still a puppy mentally is more prone to reject her litter or refuse to nurse. A dog should not be bred the first time she comes into heat. After her first heat, she will cycle again at least once a year if not twice. The estrus cycle interval varies from dog to dog."

A bull will often reach puberty by the time he's around 12 months of age (some a little sooner, if the herd's a good fertile herd), and by this time, as a Yearling Bull, he is ready to be used on heifers or sold to another producer's farm or ranch to be used on the heifers and cows there. Some bull calves can show libido when they reach 6 to 8 months of age. Some won't show it until a month or so later. Most bulls should be showing libido by the time they are 12 months old. However, all this depends on the breed and each individual bull. Some breeds that are later maturing (typically Continentals), like Charolais, Simmental, Limousin or Salers, won't start showing puberty until they're around 12 to 16 months of age."

A crate, or kennel, fulfills that need plus provides a safe mode of transportation when the dog travels in a car. Therefore, it is essential that your Cairn sleeps and travels in a crate. Just as you do not drive or ride in a car without a seat belt fastened securely for safety, so your Cairn must ride in his crate for safety. Bungee cords can be used to fasten the crate securely into the vehicle. He must also learn to go into his crate on command and remain there quietly with the door shut until such time as you let him out. Houseguests who are allergic to dogs or who fear them will appreciate your thoughtfulness. When forced rest is required due to an illness or injury in your Cairn, he will not be upset, because he knows his crate to be a familiar, welcome den.

This process is extremely uncomfortable for the puppy. During this time, puppies chew everything they can to push the teeth through the gums quickly. Keep your pet from damaging furniture and personal belongings by providing plenty of durable chew toys. It is common for puppies to swallow their teeth.

Unfortunately it won't - nothing does. I keep reading that my own breed, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has a short lifespan and often wonder how this sort of misinformation got started. I think it may be based on the assumption made by some that little dogs are supposed to live longer than big dogs but in reality this is not how it works. Life expectancy is based on averages. Actually the average lifespan of any dog whether purebred or of indetermine descent is between 10 to 12 years of age. However individual breeds may have shorter or longer average lifespans depending upon their breed. For example an Irish Wolfhound has a lifespan that is on average between 6 and 7 years of age whereas a toy poodle or Lhasa Apso is going to have an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years of age. A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has an average life expectancy of between 10 and 12 years. And then certain individual dogs may exceed their breed's average life expectancy and others will fall short."

I have a 5 and a half month old female yellow lab x unknown , she's 17kg, slim and 50cm tall,is it true that medium sized dogs grow till around 15months? because I have a feeling my pup will grow alot bigger than a lab Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: No - Medium size dogs should reach their maximum growth at 1 yrs old. Usually, only xtra large breeds will continue to grow until they are 15 months old. If she`s a lab x border collie (or other medium size dog), she will likely be full grown at 1 yr. If she is a lab x great dane, her growth period is more likely to conclude around 13-14 months. If I were to compare your puppy`s height with a purebred lab of the same age, I would predict she will be a little taller. Her weight seems about right for a medium size dog of that age, but it`s really hard to predict her growth without more background on her pedigree.

Chris Amaral/Digital Vision/Getty Images I f your small, fluffy furball has grown into a sleek, active adolescent, you may be wondering if it's time to consider switching from puppy food to adult nutrition. Because puppy food is formulated to provide nourishment and calories to rapidly growing bodies, it's not suitable for adult maintenance. Making the switch doesn't have be complicated, though. Keep factors such as your dog's size, age and growth patterns in mind and, if in doubt, talk to your vet. Dog's Size Smaller dogs physically mature more quickly than larger dogs. While larger puppies grow far more dramatically, smaller puppies don't grow nearly as long. Large puppies may grow until they're 24 months of age, whereas smaller breeds may be finished growing at 8 months. Dog's Growth Even within the same breed, individual dogs grow at different rates of speed. When trying to determine if your puppy is finished growing, compare her size to that of her parents."

But i want to know, at what age will she loose all her baby teeth to then start growing her adult teeth? Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: They start losing their teeth around 4 months of age. Chances are you'll never find a tooth, they tend to swallow them. Give her lots of things to chew on. Frozen kongs, ice cubes, those rope toys can be dipped in water and frozen will help take the pain away. You'll probably notice blood on things, don't worry it's natural. If you don't give her something to chew on, she'll almost definitely chew on something you don't want her too.

Like humans, dogs have two sets of teeth in their lifetime. There are 28 deciduous teeth, also known as their primary, baby, milk, or puppy teeth, and 42 permanent teeth, also known as their adult teeth. When do puppies get their deciduous teeth? Puppies are born without any visible teeth. The deciduous teeth start erupting through the gums around three weeks of age and are normally finished erupting by four months of age. The pup will have 28 primary teeth in all. A healthy mouth depends on healthy teeth. The ideal time to begin brushing a puppy's teeth is when you first bring him home, before the discomfort of teething begins."

You can't expect the same rate of growth from each dog, there are many factors involved in their development. The thing is that a Labrador Retriever should have this characterestics when fully grown. Size, Proportion and Substance Size--The height at the withers for a dog is 22½ to 24½ inches; for a bitch is 21½ to 23½ inches. Any variance greater than ½ inch above or below these heights is a disqualification. Approximate weight of dogs and bitches in working condition: dogs 65 to 80 pounds; bitches 55 to 70 pounds. The minimum height ranges set forth in the paragraph above shall not apply to dogs or bitches under twelve months of age.

Taking just the right dose can make you feel like yourself again. By Winnie Yu Published: October 14, 2013Last updated: December 4, 2015Finding the correct dosage of this thyroid hormone isn’t always easy: Take too little and your symptoms of weight gain, fatigue and depression won’t go away. Take too much and you’re at risk for weak bones, insomnia, breathlessness and even heart problems. My own experience with Synthroid began a few years ago when I started feeling more tired than usual. I chalked it up to stress, my endless to-do list and the lack of sleep. A blood test, however, revealed that I had hypothyroidism. That meant my thyroid wasn’t churning out enough thyroid hormone. So I became a member of what my friend MJ calls the Synthroid Society and began taking a small dosage of levothyroxine, the generic version of Synthroid and a synthetic form of thyroid hormone. According to the National Institutes of Health , nearly 5% of Americans over age 12 suffer from hypothyroidism."

"text": "Imodium For Dogs: Uses, Dosage, & Side Effects By Mike Clark (Picture Credit: Getty Images)Imodium is a medication that can be used to treat dogs with diarrhea. Imodium is actually a brand name for a drug called loperamide. It works by slowing down movement in the intestines, allowing the intestinal walls to absorb electrolytes and water and preventing food from being pushed through the intestines too quickly. Even though Imodium is sold as an over-the-counter medicine, you should not give Imodium to your dog unless your veterinarian says it’s safe, as some dogs have a hard time breaking down the drug, and certain medical conditions may be worsened by Imodium. Closely follow your veterinarian’s instructions for dosage and administering the medication. Here is what you should know about the uses, dosage, and side effects of Imodium for dogs. Uses Of Imodium For Dogs (Picture Credit: Getty Images)Imodium is primarily used to treat diarrhea in dogs, though it can also be used to treat acute colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and malabsorption/maldigestion. It should not, however, be used to treat diarrhea that may be caused by an infection or diarrhea caused by ingestion of toxins like poisonous mushrooms. Diarrhea is the body’s natural method of removing these harmful substances, and stopping the diarrhea might actually not be beneficial. This is why you should consult your veterinarian so they can determine the cause of your dog’s diarrhea and prescribe treatment accordingly."

However, it's never a good idea to just assume a human medication will be a safe and effective treatment for your pet. Contact your veterinarian before starting any medical therapy, to discuss your options. Always let the veterinarian know your pet's symptoms and what you have been treating it with. As with all illnesses, persistent symptoms warrant a trip to the doctor's office. WARNING! DO NOT GIVE!Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) are toxic to both cats and dogs, even in small doses. Many medications can be highly toxic to cats, including Pepto Bismol, Kaopectate and aspirin. Here is a list of over-the-counter medications that can be safely used for your pet. Please read everything before administering an OTC medication to your pet."

"text": "For evaluation of the colon, Colonoscopy is the current standard method. Diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic safety of colonoscopy depends on the quality of the colonic cleansing or preparation. The ideal preparation for colonoscopy would reliably empty the colon of all fecal material in a rapid fashion with no gross or histologic alteration of the colonic mucosa. The preparation would also not cause any patient discomfort or shifts in fluids or electrolytes and would be inexpensive. Unfortunately, none of the preparations currently available meet all of these requirements. A brief history of the evolution of bowel preparation for colonoscopy will be discussed followed by an evidence based analysis of the various colonoscopy preparations, dosing regimens, and adjuncts currently utilized. EVOLUTION OF BOWEL PREPARATIONSFrom radiologic and surgical preparations preparation of Colonoscopy evolved. Early preparations used dietary limitations, cathartics, and enemas. Although these preparations cleansed the colon, uncomfortable for the patient, they were time consuming (48-72 hrs) and associated with fluid and electrolyte disturbances. A rapid preparation used high volume (7-12L) per oral gut lavage with saline/electrolyte solution."

Now the maxium age to enlist voluntarliy is 42 years of age. you can also enlist at the age of 17 with parental consent. Source (s):prior militarydougbarker25 · 1 decade ago1 2 Comment Asker's rating The Selective Service System would run the draft if conscription were directed by the President and Congress. You must register with the Selective Service if you are a male living in the United States and are between the ages of 18 and 25. ( Not limited to just US citizens). Failure to register can result in the loss of eligibility for certain federal programs.

"text": "Selective Service HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVETHE SELECTIVE SERVICE IN THE EARLY-TWENTY-FIRST CENTURYBIBLIOGRAPHYDuring major military conflicts in which the United States has been involved throughout its history, the government has utilized various programs and forms of military conscription in order to draft male citizens to the armed forces. While no draft has been in place since 1973, the Selective Service exists as an independent agency within the federal government to administer the registration of eighteen-year-old males, which is required by law, and conduct a draft should a need for military manpower over and above a volunteer force arise. An individual who is appointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the U. S. Senate directs the Selective Service System. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVECongress passed the first military conscription act on March 3, 1863, during the Civil War. The act authorized President Abraham Lincoln (1809 – 1865) to draft men between the ages of twenty and forty-five into military service for the Union forces. The law, which included the option of draftees to pay a commutation fee of $300 to escape enlistment, provoked protests in New York City by those who saw it as unfairly protecting the wealthy. Lincoln was forced to send federal troops to quell violent mobs. The Confederate States also instituted conscription in 1862, and it proved just as unpopular in the South as in the North. The next military draft law in the United States was passed in 1917; the Selective Service Act gave the president the power to conscript men for service during World War I. As American involvement in World War II approached, President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 – 1945) signed the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940. This act created the first peacetime draft and established the Selective Service as an independent federal agency."

Even though the draft was abolished in 1973, men of draft age (between 18-25 years) still have to register with the Selective Service System within 30 days of the 18th birthday so a draft can be readily resumed if needed. During the Vietnam War, about two-third of American troops were volunteered, the rest were selected for military service through the drafts. In the beginning of the war, namesof all American men in draft-age were collected by the Selective Service System. When someone’s name was called, he had to report to his local draft board, which was made up of various community members, so that they could begin to evaluate his draft status. By this manner, local draft boards had an enormous power to decide who had to go and who would stay. Consequently, draft board members were often under pressure from their family, relatives and friends to exempt potential draftees. Getty Images 1965: Readying for Vietnam Most of U. S. soldiers drafted during the Vietnam War were men from poor and working-class families. The least political power sections were mistreated. As a matter of fact, American forces in Vietnam included twenty-five percent poor, fifty-five percent working-class, twenty percent middle-class men, but very few came from upper-classes families."

"text": "For all the controversy about their draft records, Bill Clinton and Dan Quayle were by no means the only public figures who were faced with difficult decisions during the ’60s and early ’70s. The Vietnam War was a time of crisis for nearly all young men of their generation—with varying consequences. As this roundup of public figures shows, some served in the military, but others among the 26 million men between the ages of 18 and 26 who were eligible for compulsory military service found ways to delay the call-up or to avoid it. Exemptions were initially available for college students as well as for those who joined the reserves and for married men with children. In fact some of Clinton’s sharpest critics were nowhere near the front lines themselves. Republican Sen. Phil Gramm, for example, acidly noted that Governor Clinton “came as close to military service as ROTC at Arkansas.” But Gramm received his own exemption from service (see below). ABC newsman Forrest Sawyer—who graduated from the University of Florida in 1971—received a high draft number but says that if called “I would not have gone.” Sawyer, who participated in antiwar demonstrations, says he was even contemplating going to jail rather than serving. “ The government had no right to ask its citizens to fight an undeclared war for murky purposes,” he says."

The militia of the United States, as defined by the U. S. Congress, has changed over time. [ 1]During colonial America, all able-bodied men of certain ages were members of the militia. [ 2] Individual towns formed local independent militias for their own defense. [ 3] The year before the US Constitution was ratified, The Federalist Papers detailed the founders ' vision of the militia. [ 4] [5] The new Constitution empowered Congress to \"\"organize, arm, and discipline\"\" this national military force, leaving significant control in the hands of each state government. [ 6] [7]Today, as defined by the Militia Act of 1903, the term \"\"militia\"\" is primarily used to describe two groups within the United States: Organized militia – consisting of State militia forces; notably, the National Guard and Naval Militia.

"text": "Reg Jones Expert's View Get it delivered right to your inbox!Creditable Military Service Published: December 5, 2007 More in: Reg Jones Expert's View Last time I talked about Catch-62 and the adverse effect it can have on the annuities of certain retirees. That topic always generates a lot of interest along with questions about what constitutes creditable military service for retirement purposes. In this article I’ll spell that out. Creditable military service includes active duty in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, as a Regular or Reserve Corps member of the Public Health Service, or as a Commissioned Officer of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration; as a midshipman in the U. S. Naval Academy or a cadet at the U. S. Military Academy, Air Force Academy or Coast Guard Academy; and periods of active duty service performed while enrolled in the Naval or Army Reserve Officers Training Corps. Not considered creditable is service in the U. S. Merchant Marine, in the Air Force ROTC, or the National Guard (unless called or drafted into the actual service of the United State. All such active duty service performed before January 1, 1957, is automatically creditable in determining an employee’s eligibility to retire and in his annuity computation. And there is no requirement that a deposit be made to the civilian retirement system to get that credit. Active duty military service performed after December 31, 1956, by anyone who was first hired before October 1, 1982, is also fully creditable in determining an employee’s eligibility to retire and in his annuity computation. However, as noted in my last article, the annuities of retirees who were first hired before October 1, 1982, got credit for their active duty military service when their annuities are computed, didn’t make a deposit to the retirement system for that time, and become eligible for a Social Security benefit at age 62 (or when they retired if was after they reached age 62), will have that time eliminated and their annuities recomputed downward. While their annuities will be reduced, Catch-62 will have no effect on their eligibility to retire."

"text": "\"Conscription (redirected from Compulsory military service) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia . Conscription Compulsory enrollment and induction into the military service. Conscription is commonly known as the draft, but the concepts are not exactly the same. Conscription is the compulsory induction of individuals into the Armed Services, whereas the draft is the procedure by which individuals arechosen for conscription. Men within a certain age group must register with the Selective Service forpossible conscription, but conscription itself was suspended in 1973. Conscription first came into use as a legal term in France in 1798. It derives from the Latinconscriptionem, which refers to the gathering of troops by written orders, and conscribere, whichmeans \"\"to put a name on a list or roll, especially a list of soldiers.\"\" A person who becomes a member of the armed forces through the process of conscription is called a conscript. Conscription typically involves individuals who are deemed fit for military service. At times, however,governments have instituted universal military service, in which all men or all people of a certain ageare conscripted."

"text": "World War II1942Draft age is lowered to 18Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite On this day in 1942, Congress approves lowering the draft age to 18 and raising the upper limit to age 37. In September 1940, Congress, by wide margins in both houses, passed the Burke-Wadsworth Act, and the first peacetime draft was imposed in the history of the United States. The registration of men between the ages of 21 and 36 began exactly one month later. There were some 20 million eligible young men—50 percent were rejected the very first year, either for health reasons or because 20 percent of those who registered were illiterate. But by November 1942, with the United States now a participant in the war, and not merely a neutral bystander, the draft ages had to be expanded; men 18 to 37 were now eligible. Blacks were passed over for the draft because of racist assumptions about their abilities and the viability of a mixed-race military. But this changed in 1943, when a “quota” was imposed, meant to limit the numbers of blacks drafted to reflect their numbers in the overall population, roughly 10.6 percent of the whole. Initially, blacks were restricted to “labor units,” but this too ended as the war progressed, when they were finally used in combat. By war’s end, approximately 34 million men had registered; 10 million had been inducted into the military."

This Topic Page concerns the draft. The draft is seen in the Constitution at Article 1, Section 8, Clause 12. The Constitution does not directly mention the word \"\"draft\"\" or even the older \"\"conscription,\"\" but its authorization for the Congress to \"\"raise and support Armies\"\" is a clear indication of the same concept - to use the resources of the nation to create or man an army. Today, the draft in the United States is administered by the Selective Service System. Although at the time of this writing the U. S. does not have an active draft, the SSS is in operation and actively campaigns to get young men to register so that should a draft ever be needed, it has ready lists of who is eligible. According to the SSS, registration for the draft is required of all men ages 18 through 25. Forms to register are available at all U. S. Post Offices, as well as online. Failure to register can result in a fine of up to $250,000 and disqualification from many federal programs, such as student aid. This system has been in place since 1980."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Draft dodger)navigation search U. S. anti-Vietnam War protesters at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. A placard to the right reads \"\"Use your head – not your draft card\"\". Draft evasion is any successful attempt to elude a government-imposed obligation to serve in the military forces of one's nation. Sometimes draft evasion involves refusing to comply with the military draft laws (formally known as conscription laws) of one's nation. [ 1] Illegal draft evasion is said to have characterized every military conflict of the 20th and 21st centuries. [ 2] Such evasion is generally considered to be a criminal offense, [1] and laws against it go back thousands of years. [ 3]There are many draft evasion practices. Those that manage to adhere to or circumvent the law, and those that do not involve taking a public stand, are sometimes referred to as draft avoidance. Those that involve overt lawbreaking or taking a public stand are sometimes referred to as draft resistance. Draft evaders are sometimes pejoratively referred to as draft dodgers, [4] although in certain contexts that term has also been used non-judgmentally [5] [6] or as an honorific. ["

In Connecticut, where he faces a tough Republican opponent, Linda Mc Mahon, as well as in the pages of The New York Times, Blumenthal is being called to account for telling voters, \"\"We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam. \"\" Blumenthal's case resembles that of the Mount Holyoke College professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph J. Ellis, who in 2001 was revealed to have lied to his students about serving in Vietnam. The Blumenthal and Ellis cases are about more than the personal failings of public figures. Their deceptions, in fact, raise an important question: Why do liberals who opposed the Vietnam War feel the need to claim they fought in Vietnam, while hawkish conservatives, like former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, remain untroubled by the deferments they received in those years? The backgrounds of Blumenthal and Ellis do not provide much help in answering that question. On the surface, both seem to be ambitious straight arrows. Blumenthal, who took at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970, used them to finish his studies at Harvard, take a graduate fellowship in England, and work at The Washington Post, before getting a job in the Nixon White House. Then, in 1970, Blumenthal enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve and completed six years of service with Reserve units in Washington and New Haven. This experience allowed Blumenthal to legitimately campaign with a picture of himself in a Marine uniform."

Australia currently only has provision for conscription during times of war. Contents [ hide ]1 Universal Service Scheme2 World War I2.1 A divided nation3 World War II4 National Service in the 1950s5 National Service from the 1960s5.1 Vietnam War6 See also7 References8 External links Universal Service Scheme [ edit]In 1909, the Federal government of Prime Minister Alfred Deakin introduced legislation for a form of conscription for boys from 12 to 14 years of age and for youths from 18 to 20 years of age for the purposes of home defence. The legislation did not allow soldiers to be conscripted for overseas service. This legislation was passed through the combined support of the Protectionist Party and the Australian Labor Party. Following a visit and a report on Australia's defence readiness by Field Marshal Kitchener, the Australian Labor Party government instituted a system of compulsory military training for all males aged between 12 and 26 from 1 January 1911. [ 1] [2]John Barrett, in his study of boyhood conscription, Falling In, noted: In 1911 there were approximately 350,000 boys of an age (10–17 years) to register for compulsory training up to the end of 1915. Since 'universal' was a misnomer, about half that number were exempted from training, or perhaps never registered, reducing the group to 175,000. [ 3]There was also extensive opposition to boyhood conscription resulting in, by July 1915, some 34,000 prosecutions and 7,000 detentions of trainees, parents, employers or other persons required to register.

Discussion in ' WWII General ' started by akf86surf, Apr 12, 2011 .akf86surf Member Joined: Jun 23, 2010Messages: 105Likes Received: 7I apologize if this is in the wrong section. Here is what I have heard from my family and want to see how plausible this is. My grandfather on my Mother's side would have been 34 during 1941 when the war started. The family lore is that he got a call from someone in the military mixing him up someone else and wanting to make sure that he was taking care of his terminally ill mother. He had no idea what to say so I believe he said he was that person. He was in fact not taking care of his ill mother. Therefore he thought they would not contact him to serve during the war which in fact he never did. If one person was left to take care of an ill parent would that exclude them from war service in WW2? Could have this been considered \"\"draft dodging\"\"?"

"text": "\"Draft Registration and The Lawby R. Charles Johnson Nolo Press, 1980p9 How to protect yourself... When dealing with Selective Service it is important to realize that the system is not set up to protect your rights. In most cases your rights will be glossed over or denied unless you observe the rules closely and insist upon everything you are entitled to. By following the suggestions listed here you can help to insure that none of your rights get trampled upon.1. Keep a file that contains everything Selective Service sends you, and a copy of everything you send to them.2. Communicate in writing with Selective Service, whether it concerns registration, change of address, a request for deferment or exemption, an appeal, or anything else.3. Use certified mail, return receipt requested, whenever mailing anything to Selective Service.4. Keep Selective Service informed of your address. Not only is it the law that you must do so, but it is essential that mail reach you in time for you to exercise your rights.5. Meet deadlines. In most instances you will have only ten or fifteen days or less to make your move."

"text": "\"There's not a more hypocritical and spiritually dangerous group in America than the country music industry. Why? It's because the industry glorifies sin, worldliness, and lasciviousness; while simultaneously singing about God, patriotism, and family. There is a woeful deceit in country music. It sounds great, seems bigger than life; but at the end is sin, misery, and death. Country music, sexual immorality, and divorce are inseparable. Many stars who sing Gospel music don't even believe the Bible is God's Word. And now many top country stars, like Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton, are sinfully embracing the homosexual community. Hypocrites!Many Christian youth today are being led into worldly music, and sexual immorality, by the evil influences of country music and the godless people who sing it. Please do not be deceived young people, your favorite country music \"\"star\"\" is bad news!"

"text": "\"Born in 1950 in Houston, TX; son of a James Crowell (a construction worker and part-time musician); married second wife, Rosanne Cash, 1979 (divorced, March, 1992); children: (second marriage) Hannah, Caitlyn, Chelsea. Education: Attended Stephen F. Austin College, Nacogdoches, TX. Addresses: Agent-- Bill Ruff, William Morris Agency, Inc., 1350 Sixth Ave., New York, NY 10019. Record company-- Columbia Records, 1801 Century Park West, Los Angeles, CA 90067. In 1988 Rodney Crowell began to emerge from his image as a songwriter and producer for other country stars. After releasing four relatively unsuccessful albums for Warner Bros. and Columbia, the talented Crowell finally found his niche with the release of Diamonds and Dirt, a work that scored four consecutive Number One country singles and garnered numerous award nominations. Since then, Rodney Crowell has achieved a dream he long held dear--to perform his own songs and be recognized as a singer and entertainer in his own right. As Alanna Nash noted in Stereo Review, Crowell had been \"\"one of the most respected songwriters and producers in the business for at least a decade.\"\" The list of stars Crowell has assisted with songs or production work is impressive: Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, the Oak Ridge Boys, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Sissy Spacek, Bob Seger, and Crowell's second wife, Roseanne Cash."

Well, not quite - he was also known as Porter Rabbit. But it was when he emulated peers by using radio DJ work in a butcher shop studio as a conduit to a music career he was blinded by the glitter of rhinestones. Not in his West Plains launch pad KWPM but in nearby Springfield on KWPO where he forked out $350 on his Nudie Cohen suit. It was a nifty peach-coloured number with wagon wheels on it. He eventually owned 50 of them, paying $8,000 to $12,000 each, and was the beacon for the hillbilly deluxe brigade that included his latter day producer Marty Stuart. Porter's suits weighed an average of 35 pounds each. A weighty albatross of sorts for the \"\"thin man from West Plains\"\" whose passing came after dusk on a late autumn night. A special feature on most of his suits was the word \"\"Hi!\"\" in foot-high letters on each side of the lining."

"text": "\"Joey + Rory discover the plus side of losing The married singing duo didn't quite win CMT's 'Can You Duet' competition, but Joey Martin and Rory Feek came away with newfound fame and a promising future. May 06, 2009 | Randy Lewis A shared passion for music brought country singer Joey Martin and songwriter Rory Feek together, first as friends, then in 2002 as husband and wife. But even after their marriage, as they traveled parallel career paths, the thought of performing together never crossed either's mind until last year, when a friend suggested they audition for the Country Music Television reality series \"\"Can You Duet. \"\"\"\" We told him, 'But we're not a duo,' \"\" Feek said over breakfast in a restaurant on the edge of Beverly Hills, where the couple stayed recently following a gig at Largo at the Coronet. The show's judges, which included Naomi Judd, half of one of the most successful country duos ever, the Judds, and the audience disagreed, and kept the nascent pair newly christened Joey + Rory in the competition into the finals. It was more a lesson in surreality for the pair. Martin once had a record deal with Sony Nashville, but nothing was ever released, so she shelved her dream of becoming a country singing star and opened a restaurant south of Nashville that she still runs with her sister-in-law. Feek, who didn't consider himself a performer, had been building his reputation as a hit songwriter thanks to successful recordings of his compositions, including Blake Shelton's 2004 hit \"\"Some Beach\"\" and a new single for Jimmy Wayne, \"\"I Will. \"\" They'd hoped that by making it that far in the contest they might be allowed to sing a song they'd written about how they came together as a couple. But this is reality, not fantasy, TV. \"\""

Browse this site to find old gospel songs that you enjoy singing. My personal preference is to listen and sing country gospel songs, they are much more meaningful and easy to understand. Enjoy Worship music with lyrics and have a great day. Country Gospel Music has been around for many years and it began as a blend of early mountain music, cowboy music, and music from plantations of the deep south. The songs tend to deal with life’s problems and God’s answers to those problems. Country gospel music has attracted wonderful talent for those who like the sounds of today’s country music. The television show Hee Haw always had a segment of great classic gospel songs, along with the Statler Brothers Show and the Mandrell Sisters Show. The Grand Ole Opry has always included gospel music as part of it’s shows. Other artists with wonderful Christian country music is Ray Price, Hank Williams, Jim Reeves, Red Sovine, The Louvin Brothers, The Carter Family, the Statler Brothers and the Oak Ridge Boys."

For all the grief it brought her early on, it seems, as she enters her seventh decade, to have left her in terrific shape. Never mind the fact that she is commonly referred to as a “legend,” a routine tribute to her role in making country music cool again in the 1970s, which was trumpeted by an effusive Jools Holland when she performed on his TV show Later in May.

"text": "\"Randy Newman Feels Like Home is a lovely song written by Randy Newman. Who sang it best? This morning, I was writing a review of Feels Like Home, an album Linda Ronstadt released in 1995. I was left with a somewhat mediocre impression of Ronstadt’s version of the title song, which I had originally heard sung by Bonnie Raitt on the soundtrack of Randy Newman’s Faust. Linda Ronstadt had also performed on that album, which featured an all-star line up of singers, including: James Taylor, Don Henley, Elton John, and Randy Newman. I used to listen to Newman’s Faust all the time when it first came out and really enjoyed everyone’s performances. Bonnie Raitt played sort of a loose woman named Martha, while Ronstadt’s character, Margaret, was sweet and virtuous. It seemed to fit. And yet, Bonnie Raitt’s loose character, Martha, sang the very sweet number “Feels Like Home”, a song that is becoming sort of a wedding standard. In my opinion, “Feels Like Home” is a really great song, even though I read somewhere that Randy Newman didn’t think it was particularly special or meaningful."

"text": "Music A Look Back at Hank Williams’ Hit, ‘Jambalaya (On the Bayou)’By Lorie Liebig 3 years Wikimedia Commons On Sept. 6, 1952, Hank Williams earned a number one hit with his track, “Jambalaya (On the Bayou)”. The song was one of the last to be released by Williams before his untimely death and is still noted as one of his most popular songs to date. Williams recorded the track in Castle Studio in Nashville, with Chet Atkins on lead guitar, Jerry Rivers playing fiddle, and Don Helms on steel guitar. The song follows a Louisiana-centric Cajun theme and takes its melody from a classic Cajun song named “Grand Texas”. He describes his woman, Yvonne, as his “ma chaz ami-o,” which translates to “my good girlfriend” in Cajun French. Williams later wrote “I’m Yvonne (Of the Bayou)”, which gives a female perspective on the song’s theme. It was recorded by country singer Goldie Hill in 1953, but was not as well-received as the original. Over the years, artists from various genres have put their own spin on the Williams’ classic. Elvis Presley, Emmylou Harris, Garth Brooks, Fats Domino, George Jones and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band are just a few of the major artists who have covered “Jambalaya”. Current chart-topper Hunter Hayes made his first impact on the country music scene when he covered the track alongside Hank Williams Jr. when he was only four years old."

Rapunzel tresses forever are finally a possiblity (photo: Morguefile)In the past three years, the concept of popping a pill to prevent gray hair has been fast-tracked from fantasyland to almost-reality. First came the groundbreaking British study published by FASEB (the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology) in 2009 exposing the mechanism that governs loss of hair pigment. Researchers at the University of Bradford in the UK demonstrated how over time, accumulated oxidative stress leads to the overproduction of hydrogen peroxide in the hair follicles. In other words, the hair begins to bleach itself from the inside out. The buildup of hydrogen peroxide begins to block the production of melanin, the pigment that gives hair its blonde, red or brown color. Underlying this process is a series of complex chemical mechanisms involving the effects of oxidative stress and follicle damage on key enzymes. One is catalase, which is supposed to break up the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen so the body can eliminate it."

Everyone 18 or older, and under 59 years of age, is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. On Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, only one full meatless meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one’s needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted.

"text": "Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality How Are the 40 Days of Lent Calculated? Why Sundays aren't counted in Lent Share Flipboard Email Print Pascal Deloche/GODONG/Getty Imagesby Scott P. Richert Updated December 30, 2017Lent, the period of prayer and fasting in preparation for Easter, is 40 days long, but there are 46 days between Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent in the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar, and Easter. So how are the 40 days of Lent calculated? A Little History The answer takes us back to the earliest days of the Church. Christ's original disciples, who were Jewish, grew up with the idea that the Sabbath— the day of worship and of rest—was Saturday, the seventh day of the week since the account of creation in Genesis says that God rested on the seventh day. Christ rose from the dead, however, on Sunday, the first day of the week, and the early Christians, starting with the apostles (those original disciples), saw Christ's Resurrection as a new creation, and so they transferred the day of rest and worship from Saturday to Sunday. Sunday: The Celebration of the Resurrection Since all Sundays—and not simply Easter Sunday—were days to celebrate Christ's Resurrection, Christians were forbidden to fast and do other forms of penance on those days. Therefore, when the Church expanded the period of fasting and prayer in preparation for Easter from a few days to 40 days (to mirror Christ's fasting in the desert, before He began His public ministry), Sundays could not be included in the count.40 Days of Fasting Thus, in order for Lent to include 40 days on which fasting could occur, it had to be expanded to six full weeks (with six days of fasting in each week) plus four extra days— Ash Wednesday and the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday that follow it. Six times six is thirty-six, plus four equals forty. And that's how we arrive at the 40 days of Lent!Learn More For a more in-depth explanation of the history of the Lenten fast, why it has been and remains 40 days long, why Sundays have never been part of the Lenten fast, and when the Lenten fast ends, see The 40 Days of Lent: A Short History of the Lenten Fast.cite"

During Lent, the Church prepares to celebrate the dying and rising of the Lord Jesus. It is also the time for preparation for Baptism: for those who will be baptized at Easter and for all who will renew their baptismal promises at the Vigil and on Easter Day. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and continues until Holy Thursday afternoon when we begin the great Triduum. The “40 days” (not including Sundays) of fasting, prayer, and penitence before Easter reflect Jesus’ forty days in the wilderness. They also echo the forty day fast of Moses on Mount Sinai, the journey of the prophet Elijah to Mount Horeb (where he has a vision of God’s presence) and even the forty years of Israel’s journey through the desert toward the Promised Land. The days of Lent (traditionally linked to the pastoral and liturgical preparation of catechumens for baptism at the Easter Vigil) have been an aspect of the life of the Church since the Council of Nicaea in 325. PENANCEThe historical roots of Lent also included the reconciliation of penitents: individuals dressed in sackcloth and sprinkled with ashes who dedicated themselves to penance for the season, a practice that was constant, severe and public. They were formally reconciled with the church by the bishop on Holy Thursday morning so that they could celebrate the Triduum with the community. After the disappearance of the public penitence with the distribution of ashes to penitents at the beginning of Lent, Pope Urban II, in 1091, recommended it to all Christians."

Originally, the trident was the pre-Christian symbol of the sea-god Poseidon and came to represent sovereignty and dominion over the sea by those countries whose way of life involved much travel by - and waging wars on* -water. The trident was assumed by the early rulers of Kyivan Rus'-Ukraine. St Volodymyr the Great claimed it for his Royal House and added the Greek Cross of Kherson to the middle bar after he was baptized. He shaped the trident so that they would come to represent two Cyrillic \"\"B\"\" letters, facing each other, and alluding to his name. Each monarch has always had a \"\"Royal Cypher\"\" which is a kind of emblem expressing their name and title. Thus, Queen Elizabeth the Second has a Royal Cypher \"\"E II R\"\" standing for \"\"Elizabeth Regina the Second.\"\" Thus, Saint Volodymyr developed the trident as a sophisticated Royal Cypher of his own. The three bars of the trident signify the Holy Trinity with the Cross on the middle bar signifying the Son of God, Jesus Christ. The number \"\"3\"\" has always been a very mystical number, even in pre-Christian times... http://www.unicorne.org/Orthodoxy/ar...ers/tryzub.htm The Trident has been known as a symbol of power in Central Ukraine since the 6th century."

"text": "Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality Abstinence as Spiritual Discipline Why Do Catholics Abstain From Meat on Fridays? Share Flipboard Email Print Westend61/Contributor/Getty Imagesby Scott P. Richert Updated December 29, 2017Fasting and abstinence are closely related, but there are some differences in these spiritual practices. In general, fasting refers to restrictions on the quantity of the food we eat and on when we consume it, while abstinence refers to the avoidance of particular foods. The most common form of abstinence is the avoidance of meat, a spiritual practice that goes back to the earliest days of the Church. Depriving Ourselves of Something Good Before Vatican II, Catholics were required to abstain from meat every Friday, as a form of penance in honor of the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross on Good Friday. Since Catholics are normally allowed to eat meat, this prohibition is very different from the dietary laws of the Old Testament or of other religions (such as Islam) today. In the Acts of the Apostles ( Acts 10:9-16 ), St. Peter has a vision in which God reveals that Christians can eat any food. So, when we abstain, it's not because the food is impure; we're voluntarily giving up something good, for our spiritual benefit. Current Church Law Regarding Abstinence That's why, under current Church law, the days of abstinence fall during Lent, the season of spiritual preparation for Easter. On Ash Wednesday and all of the Fridays of Lent, Catholics over the age of 14 are required to abstain from meat and from foods made with meat."

Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more — all for only $19.99... General view We all have within us that vague and general idea of the religious life which enables us to recognize it when it is described as a life directed to personal perfection, or a life seeking union with God. Under this twofold aspect it is met with in all ages and places: every soul possesses an inclination to good, and an inclination towards God. There are everywhere souls that willingly follow these inclinations and consequently religious souls. Sometimes they attach more importance to the tendency to self-perfection, sometimes to the tendency towards God; in other words, to the ascetic tendency or the mystical tendency; but since God is the end of man, the two tendencies are so similar as to be practically one. If the Creator has put into our souls the principle of religious life, we must expect not only to find it, more and less intense, in every religion, but also to see it reveal itself in similar ways. We should not be surprised if outside the true Church there should be persons devoted to contemplation, solitude, and sacrifice; but we are not obliged to conclude that our Christian practices are necessarily derived from theirs, since the instincts of human nature sufficiently account for the resemblance. Such an explanation would not explain the origin of these practices: if we are indebted for the monasticism of Pachomius to the worshippers of Serapis, where did they find their inspiration? Nor would the explanation account for the results: whence comes it that monachism has covered not only the East, and Asia, but also Africa, Europe, and the whole of the West? In our days the historical derivation of certain usages is a thing of small importance; we may admit without hesitation any connexion which is proved, but not one which is merely assumed."

Steps1 Decide if you want to \"\"give up\"\" something. Lent is based on sacrifice, so most Catholics choose to stop eating a favorite food or pursuing a favorite activity. However, you can also choose to do something instead. For example, say an extra prayer every day, go to Church twice a week, or read some scripture verses."

[ widgets_on_pages id=\"\"In Post Ad\"\"]The observance of Lent is related to the celebration of Easter. In the first three centuries of the Christian era, most Christians prepared for Easter by fasting and praying for three days. In some places this was extended to the entire week before Easter (now known as “Holy Week”). There is evidence that in Rome, the length of preparation was three weeks. The word Lent derives from the Middle English word lenten, meaning springtime – the time of lengthening days."

Richert Updated July 11, 2017The dates of Lent, the season of penance and prayer before Easter, change every year. There are two common definitions of Lent, and the dates of the season will depend on which is used. Some Catholics define Lent as the period of the Lenten fast; others define Lent as a liturgical season. For most of the history of Christianity, the liturgical season of Lent was the same as the period of the Lenten fast, but since 1956, the liturgical season of Lent has ended before the Lenten fast does. Both, however, start on Ash Wednesday. The Lenten Fast The traditional Lenten fast is what most people mean when they use the word Lent. When we refer to the 40 days of Lent, we mean the period of the Lenten fast, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday. ( There are actually 46 days between Ash Wednesday and Holy Saturday, inclusive, but since fasting has never been allowed on Sundays, and there are six Sundays during Lent, that leaves us with 40 days .) These 40 days of fasting recall Christ's 40 days of fasting in the desert before beginning his public ministry, Moses ' 40 days of fasting on Mount Sinai before receiving the Ten Commandments, and Noah's 40 days in the ark."

Ash Wednesday is observed by many Western Christians, including Anglicans, Lutherans, Old Catholics, Methodists, Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, [note 1] and some Baptists. [ 3]Ash Wednesday derives its name from the placing of repentance ashes on the foreheads of participants to either the words \"\"Repent, and believe in the Gospel\"\" or the dictum \"\"Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.\"\" [ 4] The ashes may be prepared by burning palm leaves from the previous year's Palm Sunday celebrations. Because it is the first day of Lent, many Christians, on Ash Wednesday, often begin marking a Lenten calendar, praying a Lenten daily devotional, and abstaining from a luxury that they will not partake in until Easter Sunday arrives.

By Karen Ridder | Thursday, 08 October 2015 09:52 PMEmail Article | Contact | Print | A ATweet While there are vaccination requirements for children in Washington State, exemptions are easy to obtain. The Washington State Department of Health requires a certificate of immunization for most children to enter school or daycare. Certain vaccinations are only required for preschoolers, and others vaccines are required for school-age children. Hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, chickenpox, measles, mumps, and rubella are all diseases that can be prevented by vaccination, which are required for both children in preschool, day care, and elementary school in Washington State. URGENT: Should States Be Allowed to Make Health Decisions for Your Children? Washington State also offers a certificate of exemption that allows parents to opt out of vaccination for “personal, philosophical, or religious beliefs” as well as medical reasons. This is a much more generous policy than many states, which merely offer only religious and medical exemptions. A signature from a parent or guardian is required on the form to mark that they understand the child will be pulled from school in the event of an outbreak of an infectious disease that is preventable by vaccination. They also must initial on the understanding that failing to give vaccines, “may result in serious illness, disability or death to my child or others.”"

Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing.- St Luke, IV, 1:2During Lent, Christians practise fasting from foods as a spiritual preparation to experience deeper communion with God. Since there is a body and soul connection, some people see fasting with the right diet and spiritual discipline as elements that complement each other to take them through the 40 days of fasting. Lessons from Jesus, the Apostles, Saints and church elders demonstrate that when you fast and pray, you become more sensitive to God's presence. Fasting with a willing spirit, and not just with an attitude of fulfilling a religious obligation, means that you keep the purpose of fasting always before you. The purpose is to develop self-control and to remember God and His Kingdom. To effectively carry out the fast, it is critical to look at the way you fast and how much you eat. Eat modestly Simply put, fasting is the simplicity of eating. You should not gormandise to the extent that your stomach becomes overloaded and you feel uncomfortable."

For centuries, the faithful have gone to church on this day to have their brow symbolically marked with a cross of ashes. Traditionally, the ashes came from burning the palms saved from the previous Palm Sunday, but, in some areas, the custom was for people to bring ashes from their turf fire into the church to be blessed. At least one person from every household attended the Ash Wednesday ritual and they would bring home a pinch or two, so that all family members could have their foreheads marked. And so, with the priest having used his right thumb to apply the ashes while saying the prayer, \"\"Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return,\"\" the 40-day Lenten season commenced. It was once a time of austere fasting. No animal products of any kind were eaten or used in cooking. This meant total abstinence from meat, eggs, butter, milk and animal fats. The frying pan was cleaned and put away. For breakfast, a family might have had a small meal of dry bread, or porridge, washed down with black tea - and then the same for supper."

S. Colorectal cancer is largely preventable with regular screening, and is curable with early detection. A study by leading cancer groups states that deaths from colorectal cancer in the U. S. are down nearly five percent, more than the other leading cancer killers (lung, breast and prostate cancers). Among the key factors credited with the decline is prevention through screening and the removal of precancerous polyps. Approximately 140,000 people are diagnosed with colon cancer in the U. S. and over 50,000 people die from it annually. There are many myths about colorectal cancer, such as that the procedure to screen for the disease is painful, when in fact a colonoscopy is well tolerated and can save your life. Let's explore more myths about colon cancer and the facts patients need to know. Myth: Colon cancer only affects men Colon cancer affects both men and women, in fact approximately 26,000 women die every year from colon cancer. It is an equal opportunity disease that does not discriminate against gender or race. Your age, not your gender, is the single most important risk factor for colorectal cancer. Both men and women should undergo testing for the disease starting at age 50."

It is made up of 12 biological systems. The human digestive system is a series of organs that converts food into essential nutrients that are absorbed into the body and eliminates unused waste material. It is essential to good health because if the digestive system shuts down, the body cannot be nourished or rid itself of waste. Description of the digestive system Also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the digestive system begins at the mouth, includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (also known as the colon) and rectum, and ends at the anus. The entire system — from mouth to anus — is about 30 feet (9 meters) long, according to the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). Digestion begins with the mouth. Even the smell of food can generate saliva, which is secreted by the salivary glands in the mouth, contains an enzyme, salivary amylase, which breaks down starch. Teeth, which are part of the skeletal system, play a key role in digestion. In carnivores, teeth are designed for killing and breaking down meat."

Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Ontario. Colorectal Cancer Screening Introduction The National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC) acknowledges colorectal cancer as the third most common cancer and the second most common cause of death from a cancer among men and women in Canada, second only to lung cancer. If, however, the cancer is detected early through screening, it may be highly treatable and need not be deadly. In a majority of cases, colorectal cancer is preventable and yet each year in Canada, thousands of people are diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer. The majority of colorectal cancers begin as benign growths in the lining of the large bowel wall called adenomatous polyps. Over the years (at least ten years), these polyps grow in size and number, thereby increasing the risk that the cells in the polyps will become cancerous and invade the wall and move on to other organs. Approximately two thirds of these cancers are found in the large intestine and one third in the rectum. Early removal of these growths will prevent colorectal cancer from developing in the first place. Hence, identification and removal of polyps are key to preventing the development of colorectal cancer."

Of those diagnosed, more than 51,000 are expected to die from this preventable and treatable cancer. Kristin Le Grand, D.

Dr. Le Grand currently is accepting new patients. Is a colonoscopy the most effective screening test for colon cancer? Yes, colonoscopy is the most recommended and most reliable test for many reasons. It provides the most direct and complete view of the colon, where cancer could be hiding. It allows your doctor to perform a biopsy or to take a sample of any abnormal tissue found during screening. And you need a colonoscopy only once every 10 years, starting at the age of 50, as long as the screen is normal."

And that’s really not surprising, given the crush of cancer studies and media coverage that we come across week in and week out. It’s enough to confuse even some experts. The good news, though, is that when all this evidence is looked at together, eight simple tips rise to the surface. These include things like, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and avoiding tobacco. And while there are additional steps on top of these that can reduce the risk of some individual cancers (see Twelve Preventable Cancers ), these eight behaviors provide the greatest benefit for the most cancers and can also go a long way toward preventing other serious chronic diseases, like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis.

Familial CRC is not well understood but is characterized by increased risk of CRC and an unclear pattern of inheritance. Inherited CRC, on the other hand, exhibits a clear pattern of inheritance. Lynch syndrome, formerly known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), is the most common form of inherited CRC. Click here for a more detailed discussion of Lynch syndrome.

A long, flexible, narrow tube with a light and tiny lens at its end is “introduced” into the rectum and threaded through the entire large bowel. ( Frankly, it didn’t seem so “narrow” when I had this procedure done.) This allows the doctor to look throughout your colon and rectum for evidence of cancer or its forerunner, a certain kind of polyp (adenoma). Colonoscopy is the most accurate way to detect (and remove) these cancers early enough for them to be cured. In order to minimize the discomfort associated with the procedure, the patient is sedated but usually not anesthetized. In my personal experience, the colonoscopy itself is not bad; the preparation for it—c leaning the bowel with enemas and laxatives beforehand—is the most unpleasant part. It’s important to detect colorectal cancer as early as possible, because it is the second most common cancer killer overall and the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the United States in both sexes.

Colonoscopy is the most accurate way to detect (and remove) these cancers early enough for them to be cured. In order to minimize the discomfort associated with the procedure, the patient is sedated but usually not anesthetized. In my personal experience, the colonoscopy itself is not bad; the preparation for it—c leaning the bowel with enemas and laxatives beforehand—is the most unpleasant part. It’s important to detect colorectal cancer as early as possible, because it is the second most common cancer killer overall and the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the United States in both sexes.

"text": "Health | Expert Q & A10 Questions You Need to Ask About Colonoscopy By DOUGLAS K. REX, M. D. FEB. 25, 2009Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, it affects both men and women and it almost always starts in a benign growth called a polyp. Polyps originate in the inner lining of the colon, where they may be visible during the popular screening test known as colonoscopy. Whether you’re going for your first colonoscopy or are a veteran of the process, the following questions and answers contain important information about maximizing the procedure’s effectiveness and safety. Did you think that colonoscopy was completely effective at preventing colorectal cancer? Think again. The level of protection in various studies has ranged from a high of 80 percent to a low of no protection at all. Here’s what you need to know to get the maximum benefit from colonoscopy at the lowest risk. Q. Why is effective bowel preparation important? A. Bowel preparation for colonoscopy refers to the laxatives taken before the procedure to clean the colon of fecal debris."

"text": "\"colon cancer Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia . Colon Cancer Definition Cancer of the colon is the disease characterized by the development of malignant cells in thelining or epithelium of the first and longest portion of the large intestine. Malignant cells have lostnormal control mechanisms governing growth. These cells may invade surrounding local tissue, or they may spread throughout the body and invade other organ systems. Synonyms for the colon include the large bowel or the large intestine. The rectum is thecontinuation of the large intestine into the pelvis that terminates in the anus. Description The colon is a tubular organ beginning in the right lower abdomen. It ascends on the right side of the abdomen, traverses from right to left in the upper abdomen, descends vertically down the leftside, takes an S-shaped curve in the lower left abdomen, and then flows into the rectum as it leaves the abdomen for the pelvis. These portions of the colon are named separately though theyare part of the same organ:cecum, the beginning of the colonascending colon, the right vertical ascent of the colontransverse colon, the portion traversing from right to leftdescending colon, the left vertical descent of the colonsigmoid colon, the s-shaped segment of colon above the pelvis These portions of the colon are recognized anatomically based on the arterial blood supply andvenous and lymphatic drainage of these segments of the colon. Lymph, a protein-rich fluid thatbathes the cells of the body, is transported in small channels known as lymphatics that runalongside the veins of the colon."

"text": "Back to all posts How much does a colonoscopy cost? The average total cost of a colonoscopy is $1,626. Get a cost estimate based on your location, insurance, and doctor below. If you’re having issues with your colon, or are at high risk for colon cancer, you may need a colonoscopy—and if you’re over 50, you may need to get regular screenings every 10 years. Colonoscopies can be either preventative screenings (before you’ve experienced symptoms) or diagnostic (if you’ve experienced symptoms or have a personal history and/or family history of cancer). For the purposes of this post, we’ll be focusing on preventive colonoscopy screenings. Amino found that the median network rate for a colonoscopy screening is $1,626. Keep in mind—this is an estimate for what you and your health insurance company might pay together (combined) for the procedure, not the amount you’ll pay out-of-pocket. You can use Amino to find an experienced doctor and estimate your out-of-pocket cost below. Then, read on to learn more about what a colonoscopy is and what affects the overall cost, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA) guidelines for insurance coverage."

"text": "Alex J. Ky, MD on behalf of The Mount Sinai Health System Surgery Although 50 is the recommended age to begin colon cancer screenings, it does not mean that younger people do not get the disease. Patients with history of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are at increased risk and need screening much earlier. Patients with a history of polyps are also at an increased risk. People who have unexplained weight loss, bleeding despite treatment for their hemorrhoids and a family member who was diagnosed with colon cancer or with irritable bowel disease (IBD) should get their screening colonoscopy earlier. For those with family members who have colon cancer, the screening scope should be 10 years earlier than the age the family member was diagnosed with colon cancer. Daniel Labow, MD on behalf of The Mount Sinai Health System Surgical Oncology Screening colonoscopy should be performed at age 50 for all average risk pateints. Perhaps 5 years earlier for African American decent patients. For patients with first degree relatives with a history of colon cancer, the first colonoscopy should be performed 10 years earlier that the age at diagnosis of colon cancer in the relative. Certain hereditary syndromes are linked to earlier colon cancer and thus, those patients need to be in strict surveillance programs and often require colonoscopy earlier and more frequent that the average populations. Finally, any unexplained blood in stool, (even if it only occurs once or twice), significant change in bowel habits and any symptom that does not make sense, it is always best to check with your doctor."

"text": "Up Next Allergies tend to be hereditary. When one parent has an allergy to something, there's a 50 percent chance that his or her child will also have some type of allergy. If both parents are allergic, the chances go up to 75 or 80 percent. An allergy means that your body is overly sensitive to a certain harmless substance, and when it comes in contact with that substance, or allergen, it reacts to eradicate that invader. Allergic symptoms are the manifestation of the effort to get rid of the allergen that's bothering your immune system. Most allergies show up by the time a child is 10 years old. You can perform an allergy skin test on infants as young as six months, but they're not considered totally reliable in kids younger than two years old. Before going ahead with any type of skin test, a doctor usually takes a few factors into account. First of all, he'll ask about your family history of allergies and asthma, as well as your child's history of allergic symptoms. Symptoms can include hives, a runny nose, wheezing, difficulty breathing, swelling, diarrhea and anaphylactic shock."

"text": "Ig G Allergy Testing Published in: Townsend Letter By Lauren Russel, ND, and Leah Alvarado-Paz, NDThere is no question that the foods people eat have a big impact on their health and quality of life. The discussion about adverse food reactions and the health problems associated with them has grown in quality and intensity over the last several decades. From some of our earliest concerns about the impact of cholesterol and fats on health, interest has expanded to include food allergies, propelled forward by the clinical ecology movement. 1Food allergies are becoming more prevalent in today’s society. It’s estimated that 6% of children and 3-4% of adults may have Ig E-mediated food allergies.2, 3 For those with food allergies that are not Ig E-mediated and associated with delayed hypersensitivity reactions, estimates are more difficult to determine. Some suggest that between 45-60% of people may be affected. 4, 5 Food allergies are implicated in a wide variety of conditions, including migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, eczema, psoriasis and recurrent infection. 6Agreement about what constitutes food allergy is clouded, however, by confusion about terminology and there is disagreement on how to define, evaluate, and diagnose it. 7, 8 Allergy has come to be defined in conventional medical circles as Ig E-mediated reactions. Despite this narrow viewpoint, patients themselves are convinced that foods trigger symptoms."

"text": "\"There’s a lot of confusion surrounding lactose intolerance and milk allergy — the terms may sound similar, but they actually describe two different digestive problems, and one is more severe than the other. Lactose intolerance is caused by not having enough of the enzyme lactase, which is needed to break down lactose, the sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Milk allergy is a true food allergy caused by an allergic reaction to the protein in milk. \"\" Lactose intolerance and milk allergy are very different entities,\"\" explains Amy E. Barto, MD, a gastroenterologist at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Mass. \"\"Milk allergy usually shows up early in life. Lactose intolerance is more common, takes longer to develop, and can occur at any time of life. \"\" Symptoms of Lactose Intolerance vs. Milk Allergy Lactose intolerance can be genetic, or it can be caused by damage to the small intestine due to a viral or bacterial infection, Dr. Barto explains. It’s also fairly common, and more so in certain populations. “ About 80 to 90 percent of African-Americans have lactose intolerance, and it is also very common in Asians and Native Americans,” says Barto. \"\" It is also important to remember that lactose intolerance increases with age and is quite common in the elderly.\"\" It’s estimated that 30 to 50 million Americans have lactose intolerance."

In the largest, most comprehensive, nationwide study to examine the prevalence of allergies from early childhood to old age, scientists from the National Institutes of Health report that allergy prevalence is the same across different regions of the United States, except in children 5 years and younger. “Before this study, if you would have asked 10 allergy specialists if allergy prevalence varied depending on where people live, all 10 of them would have said yes, because allergen exposures tend to be more common in certain regions of the U. S.,” said Darryl Zeldin, M. D., scientific director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of NIH. “ This study suggests that people prone to developing allergies are going to develop an allergy to whatever is in their environment. It’s what people become allergic to that differs. The research appeared online in February in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and is the result of analyses performed on blood serum data compiled from approximately 10,000 Americans in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2006. Although the study found that the overall prevalence of allergies did not differ between regions, researchers discovered that one group of participants did exhibit a regional response to allergens. Among children aged 1-5, those from the southern U. S. displayed a higher prevalence of allergies than their peers living in other U. S. regions. These southern states included Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. “The higher allergy prevalence among the youngest children in southern states seemed to be attributable to dust mites and cockroaches,” explained Paivi Salo, Ph."

A nickel allergy is an adverse immune response that occurs when someone comes into contact with a product containing nickel. Normally, the immune system defends the body against harmful substances, such as viruses and bacteria, to ward off illnesses. In people with nickel allergies, the immune system mistakes nickel as a dangerous intruder. The immune system begins to produce chemicals to fight against the substance, triggering an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction to nickel is one of the most common causes of an itchy skin rash. It can also cause other changes in the skin, such as redness and blistering. Nickel allergies are increasing in the United States."

"text": "\"Allergies What Types of Allergy Test Are Available? Tests for Allergies By Daniel More, MD, a board-certified physician Updated February 07, 2017Share Pin Email Print Astier / Getty Images Allergy testing measures how a person reacts to specific allergens, such as tree pollen, pet dander, foods, medications or molds. A \"\"positive\"\" allergy test means that a person has a specific allergic antibody to the substance tested. This often means that the person is allergic to the substance, meaning that the person will experience symptoms when exposed to the allergen. However, a positive allergy test does not necessarily mean that the person is indeed allergic to the substance. A person may have a positive allergy test to dog dander, for example, but experience no symptoms with exposure to dogs. In addition, a person may have multiple positive food allergy tests, but be able to eat these foods without any bad reactions. Therefore, an allergist is needed to perform and interpret allergy tests based on the person’s symptoms. There are only two types of allergy testing considered to be valid: Skin testing (prick/puncture and intradermal) and RAST (radioallergosorbent test). Other tests for allergies may be performed in research settings (such as placing small amounts of allergen in the eye, nose or lungs to measure an allergic response), but are not helpful for everyday use."

Greig Food Standards Agency London, United Kingdom Explanation Biological data Allergenicity in humans Occupational exposure Dermal exposure Exposure via food and drink Studies relevant to the determination of the prevalence of allergy to carmine of cochineal Comments Evaluation References1. EXPLANATIONCochineal extract is obtained from the dried bodies of female Dactylopius coccus Costa insects (cochineal). The extract is used directly in food and is also processed further to carmines. Specifications exist for cochineal extract and carmines, both of which contain carminic acid as the colouring principle. The Committee evaluated cochineal extract at its eighteenth and twenty-first meetings but did not allocate an ADI (Annex 1, references 35 and 44 ). It evaluated carmines at its twenty-first, twenty-fifth, and twenty-sixth meetings (Annex 1, references 44, 56, and 59). At its twenty-sixth meeting, it allocated an ADI of 0–5 mg/kg bw for carmines, as ammonium carmine or the equivalent of calcium, potassium or sodium salts. It did not reconsider this ADI at its present meeting but responded to a request from the Codex Committee on Food Additives and Contaminants (Codex Alimentarius Commission, 2000) to consider the potential allergenicity of cochineal extract, carmine and carminic acid, collectively referred to in this report as ‘cochineal colours’. At its fifty-third meeting (Annex 1, reference 143 ), the Expert Committee considered the report of an ad hoc Panel on Food Allergens that had been convened to consider issues relating to the allergenicity of foodstuffs. The Panel identified criteria for adding foodstuffs to the list of common allergenic foods developed by the Codex Committee on Food Labelling, if such additions were necessary."

Eczema (also known as atopic dermatitis) is most common in infants where it occurs in around 1 in 5 children under 2 years of age. It can also occur in older children and adults but usually improves with age. Although eczema can be effectively treated and managed, no cures are currently available. What causes eczema? Why some people develop have eczema is not well understood. It is common for people with eczema to have or develop other allergies, suggesting that inherited (genetic) factors increase the tendency to develop eczema. That does not mean that allergy to any particular substance causes an individual to get eczema. The skin in people who suffer from eczema is different from those people who do not have eczema. In people with eczema the skin barrier does not work as well."

"text": "Conditions Food Allergies Food Allergy Symptoms + 6 Ways to Reduce Them Food Allergy Symptoms + 6 Ways to Reduce Them724 41 828Food allergies are immune-based diseases that have become a serious health concern in the United States. An estimated one-fifth of the population believe that they have adverse reactions to food, but the true prevalence of food allergies ranges between 3 and 4 percent in the general population. Despite the risk of severe allergic reactions and even death, there is no current treatment for food allergies. The condition can only be managed by allergen avoidance or treatment of food allergy symptoms. Fortunately, there are natural allergy fighters that can help to boost the immune system and enhance the gut microbiota, which helps to reduce the development of food allergies and allergy symptoms. ( 1)What Are Food Allergies? Food allergies consist of an immune system response to a disagreeable food. The body senses that a protein in a particular food may be harmful and triggers an immune system response, producing histamine to protect itself. The body “remembers” this and when this food enters the body again, the histamine response is more easily triggered. The diagnosis of food allergies may be problematic because nonallergic food reactions, such as food intolerances, are frequently confused with food allergy symptoms."

It is often not known why some people present as early as 30 or 40 years of age with dementia while others do not present until their late 70's or 80's. At age 60 less than 1% of persons have AD, but by age 85 a fourth to a third of persons have evidence for AD. Thus, in aging populations, AD becomes more prevalent. Familial cases with a defined inheritance pattern account for about 10% of Alzheimer disease. Genetic defects in familial cases have been identified on 4 chromosomes (Blennow et al, 2006): Chromosome Gene21 Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP)19 Apolipoprotein E (Apo E)14 Presenilin 1 (PSEN1)1 Presenilin 2 (PSEN2)The so-called \"\"early onset\"\" cases of AD in persons in their 30's, 40's, and 50's may have a genetic basis, linked to the APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 genes. AD cases linked to an APP genetic defect on chromosome 21 may explain the appearance of Alzheimer disease in persons with Down syndrome surviving to middle age. APP encodes for amyloid precursor protein, resulting in fibrillar aggregates of beta-amyloid that is toxic to neurons. About half of early onset AD cases are linked to mutations in the presenilin 1 gene on chromosome 14, presenilin 2 gene on chromosome 1, but these defects account for less than 0.5% of cases. ("

Etiologically, two different types or even more exist. ( 1) In a minority of about 5% or less of all cases, Alzheimer disease is due to mutations of three genes, resulting in the permanent generation of βA4. ( 2) The great majority (95% or more) of cases of Alzheimer disease are sporadic in origin, with old age as main risk factor, supporting the view that susceptibility genes and aging contribute to age-related sporadic Alzheimer disease. However, disturbances in the neuronal insulin signal transduction pathway may be of central pathophysiological significance. In early-onset familial Alzheimer disease, the inhibition of neuronal insulin receptor function may be due to competitive binding of amyloid beta (Aβ) to the insulin receptor. In late-onset sporadic Alzheimer disease, the neuronal insulin receptor may be desensitized by inhibition of receptor function at different sites by noradrenaline and/or cortisol, the levels of which both increase with increasing age. The consequences of the inhibition of neuronal insulin signal transduction may be largely identical to those of disturbances of oxidative energy metabolism and related metabolism, and of hyperphosphorylation of tau-protein. As far as the metabolism of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in late-onset sporadic Alzheimer disease is concerned, neuronal insulin receptor dysfunction may result in the intracellular accumulation of Aβ and in subsequent cellular damage. In this context, the desensitization of the neuronal insulin receptor in late-onset sporadic Alzheimer disease is different from that occurring in normal aging and early-onset familial Alzheimer disease."

"text": "Early-onset Alzheimer's A very small percentage of people who develop Alzheimer's disease have the early-onset type. Signs and symptoms of this type usually appear between ages 30 and 60 years. This type of Alzheimer's disease is very strongly linked to your genes. Scientists have identified three genes in which mutations cause early-onset Alzheimer's disease. If you inherit one of these mutated genes from either parent, you will probably have Alzheimer's symptoms before age 65. The genes involved are: Amyloid precursor protein (APP)Presenilin 1 (PSEN1)Presenilin 2 (PSEN2)Mutations of these genes cause the production of excessive amounts of a toxic protein fragment called amyloid-beta peptide. This peptide can build up in the brain to form clumps called amyloid plaques, which are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. A buildup of toxic amyloid beta peptide and amyloid plaques may lead to the death of nerve cells, and the progressive signs and symptoms of this disorder. As amyloid plaques collect in the brain, tau protein malfunctions and stick together to form neurofibrillargy tangles. These tangles are associated with the abnormal brain functions seen in Alzheimer's disease."

Mutations in three genes were shown to be causative of familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD): About 12 families worldwide have a genetic fault on chromosome 21 in a gene called amyloid precursor protein (APP), which affects production of the protein amyloid. Amyloid build up in the brain has been linked to Alzheimer’s. A slightly larger number of families carry a fault on chromosome 14 (“presenilin-1”) causing early onset familial Alzheimer’s. Mutations in presenilin-1 (PS1) gene accounted for the majority of FAD cases and more than 70 mutations have been described. A very small group of families (7 members of kin with FAD were described) carry a fault on chromosome 14 (“presenilin-2”). The presenilin-2 (PS2) gene is generally considered responsible for a variable penetrant clinical phenotype. The three genes involve account for the 30-50% of all autosomal dominant early- onset cases, or around 10% of familial early onset cases. The genetic link in some late onset cases of Alzheimer’s disease (in people aged 65 and over) is more complex than the link for younger people. The presence of a positive family history in the late onset cases is considered as a risk factor, but a clear autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance is rare."

The major or mild NCD subtypes are NCD due to Alzheimer’s disease; vascular NCD; NCD with Lewy bodies; NCD due to Parkinson’s disease; frontotemporal NCD; NCD due to traumatic brain injury; NCD due to HIV infection; substance/medication-induced NCD; NCD due to Huntington’s disease; NCD due to prion disease; NCD due to another medical condition; NCD due to multiple etiologies; and unspecified NCD. The NCD category encompasses the group of disorders in which the primary clinical deficit is in cognitive function, and that are acquired rather than developmental. Although cognitive deficits are present in many if not all mental disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorders), only disorders whose core features are cognitive are included in the NCD category. The NCDs are those in which impaired cognition has not been present since birth or very early life, and thus represents a decline from a previously attained level of functioning. The NCDs are unique among DSM-5 categories in that these are syndromes for which the underlying pathology, and frequently the etiology as well, can potentially be determined. The various underlying disease entities have all been the subject of extensive research, clinical experience, and expert consensus on diagnostic criteria. The DSM-5 criteria for these disorders have been developed in close consultation with the expert groups for each of the disease entities and align as closely as possible with the current consensus criteria for each of them. The potential utility of biomarkers is also discussed in relation to diagnosis. Dementia is subsumed under the newly named entity major neurocognitive disorder, although the term dementia is not precluded from use in the etiological subtypes in which that term is standard."

"text": "\"Rare Mutation Triples Risk of Alzheimer's Disease By JOHN GEVER, HREF, HTTP,WWW. MEDPAGETODAY, TARGET, EXTERNAL,MEDPAGE TODAY SENIOR EDITORNov. 15, 2012Email A mutation found in about one in 200 elderly Icelanders raised the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease threefold, a new study found. The mutation, in an immunoregulatory gene known as TREM2, was more common in Alzheimer's disease patients than in the general 85-and-older population in Iceland, according to Dr. Kari Stefansson of de Code Genetics in Reykjavik, Iceland, and colleagues. Because of the gene's function within the central nervous system, the mutation \"\"may lead to an increased predisposition to Alzheimer's disease through impaired containment of inflammatory processes,\"\" the researchers wrote online in the New England Journal of Medicine. Read this story on www.medpagetoday.com. Such processes have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease previously, they noted. In fact, the so-called amyloid theory of the disease holds that brain inflammation is the \"\"downstream effect\"\" of the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein plaques, Stefansson and colleagues wrote. On the other hand, the TREM2 mutation's rarity, and the fact that many carriers in the study remained free of Alzheimer's disease into extreme old age, suggested that it is neither necessary nor sufficient to trigger the disease. In the study, Stefansson and colleagues first analyzed genome sequences from 2,261 Icelanders to identify variants considered likely to produce gain- or loss-of-function mutations in expressed proteins."

About Symptoms Diagnosis Causes & risks Treatments About Posterior Cortical Atrophy Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) refers to gradual and progressive degeneration of the outer layer of the brain (the cortex) in the part of the brain located in the back of the head (posterior). It is not known whether PCA is a unique disease or a possible variant form of Alzheimer’s disease. In many people with PCA, the affected part of the brain shows amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, similar to the changes that occur in Alzheimer’s disease but in a different part of the brain. In other people with PCA, however, the brain changes resemble other diseases such as Lewy body dementia or a form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Most cases of Alzheimer’s disease occur in people age 65 or older, whereas the onset of PCA commonly occurs between ages 50 and 65. Prevalence back to top There is no standard definition of PCA and no established diagnostic criteria, so it is not possible to know how many people have the condition. Some studies have found that about 5 percent of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease have PCA. However, because PCA often goes unrecognized, the true percentage may be as high as 15 percent. Researchers and physicians are working to establish a standard definition and diagnostic criteria for PCA."

This disorder usually appears in people older than age 65, but less common forms of the disease appear earlier in adulthood. Memory loss is the most common sign of Alzheimer disease. Forgetfulness may be subtle at first, but the loss of memory worsens over time until it interferes with most aspects of daily living. Even in familiar settings, a person with Alzheimer disease may get lost or become confused. Routine tasks such as preparing meals, doing laundry, and performing other household chores can be challenging. Additionally, it may become difficult to recognize people and name objects. Affected people increasingly require help with dressing, eating, and personal care. As the disorder progresses, some people with Alzheimer disease experience personality and behavioral changes and have trouble interacting in a socially appropriate manner. Other common symptoms include agitation, restlessness, withdrawal, and loss of language skills."

The disease affects the cognitive parts of the brain that are involved in thinking, remembering, and using language. It can severely impair a person's ability to carry out day-to-day activities. The disease is named for Dr. Alois Alzheimer, who, in 1906, noticed brain tissue changes in a woman who had died of an unexplained mental illness that caused memory loss, language problems, and unpredictable behavior. Difference Between Dementia and Alzheimer's Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, dementia and Alzheimer's disease are not exactly the same thing. Dementia isn't a specific disease, but rather a general term to describe any loss or decline in brain function that affects memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior, and is serious enough to interfere with daily functions. There are numerous types, or causes, of dementia, the most common of which is Alzheimer's disease. In fact, Alzheimer's accounts for 60 to 80 percent of all dementia cases, according to a 2014 report in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia. Other types of dementia include: Lewy body dementia, a disease caused by the development of tiny structures called Lewy bodies in brain cells Vascular dementia, which most commonly develops after blood vessels become blocked and damaged, leading to strokes or bleeding in the brain Frontotemporal dementia, which develops from nerve cell damage in the front and side regions of the brain (frontal and temporal lobes)Some people also have brain abnormalities associated with more than one type of dementia.

"text": "Abstract The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends screening for anemia between the ages of 9 to 12 months with additional screening between the ages of 1 and 5 years for patients at risk. The screening may be universal or selective depending on the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in the population. Improved infant rearing practices—including wider availability, acceptance, and use of iron-fortified formulas; iron fortification of foods; and increased awareness of the importance of dietary iron supplementation especially early in life—have lead to significant decline in the incidence of anemia in the first year of life. However, incidence of iron deficiency and ensuing anemia in children between 1 and 2 years continues to be significant and an important issue. Although iron deficiency may develop soon after cessation of or inadequate iron intake, anemia secondary to iron deficiency develops gradually over a period of several weeks to months. For children who have received/are receiving iron-fortified infant formulas and foods, hemoglobin screening at 9 to 12 months of age is inappropriate as there may not have been sufficient time to develop anemia, despite the rapid growth rate at this age. Widespread implementation of hemoglobin electrophoresis included in the neonatal metabolic screening programs in many states in the United States now has resulted in earlier diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies. Screening children at 9 to 12 months of age for hemoglobinopathies is somewhat redundant now. Screening for anemia before or around 1 year of age should continue to be important for communities and children at risk. Universal screening of toddlers at a later time allows sufficient time for nutritional anemia to become evident after the child has been weaned off iron-fortified formulas, for the influence of toddler dietary fads to manifest, and for evaluation of tolerance of cow's milk protein."

Dr. Greg Germain, MDIf there were a parental quiz, this would be one of the infancy extra credit questions: Why is it that babies can drink infant formula (usually made from cow’s milk) at 10 months of age but they can’t drink whole milk (also from cows) until after their first birthday? What’s the difference? What’s the Issue? Realistically, almost all infants drink cow’s milk. If you are a breastfed baby, the cow’s milk comes to you via the breast and your mom’s last linguini with parmesan or decaf skinny latte. If you are a formula-fed infant, it comes from Nestlé Good Start, Enfamil Lipil, Similac Advance, or one of the other cow’s milk-based infant formulas. Seeing the obvious similarity, patients sometimes ask me why they can’t just switch to whole cow’s milk earlier than the one year birthday. It certainly would be cheaper. Is there a downside?"

"text": "Iron deficiency has decreased in American infants and children ever since iron-fortified formulas and iron-fortified foods were introduced in the 1970s. Still, iron deficiency is a common problem among some infants and kids, and can have long-term, irreversible consequences on their cognitive and behavioral development. To ensure that no child in America has iron deficiency, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently updated its guidelines. It now recommends varying amounts of iron based on the child’s age, and improved screening methods for iron deficiency. In 1999, the AAP recommended that parents use iron-fortified infant formula. Now, it is urging parents to give their breastfed newborns iron supplements as well. The Academy says breastfed babies should be given iron supplements starting at 4 months old. “We suggest this age because babies get enough iron in utero to last them for the first four months of life,” says Steven Abrams, MD, professor of pediatrics-nutrition at the USDA/ARS Children’s Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston and an author of the guidelines. After this age, he says, iron supplements are crucial because breast milk does not contain adequate amounts of iron. The 1999 guidelines also suggest that children have their hemoglobin (iron levels) tested sometime between 9 and 12 months of age and again between 15 and 18 months."

[ 8] [3] When onset is slow, symptoms are often vague, including feeling tired, weakness, shortness of breath, or poor ability to exercise. [ 1] Anemia that comes on quickly often has greater symptoms, including: confusion, feeling like one is going to pass out, and increased thirst. [ 1] There needs to be significant anemia before a person becomes noticeably pale. [ 1] Problems with growth and development may occur in children. [ 3] There may be additional symptoms depending on the underlying cause. [ 1]Iron-deficiency anemia is usually caused by blood loss, insufficient dietary intake, or poor absorption of iron from food. [ 3] Sources of blood loss can include heavy periods, childbirth, uterine fibroids, stomach ulcers, colon cancer, and urinary tract bleeding. [ 9] A poor ability to absorb iron may occur as a result of Crohn's disease or a gastric bypass. ["

Symptoms include a swollen lymph gland or glands, ( lymphadenopathy ), which often appear fist in the neck, groin, or armpit. The swollen glands can also appear in other areas of the body. Other symptoms of Hodgkin's disease can include malaise, loss of appetite, weight loss, fever, itching, fatigue, weakness, and night sweats. There also may be shortness of breath and a cough. A complication of Hodgkin's disease is anemia, a low number of red blood cells. This leads to symptoms, such as fatigue, shortness of breath, pale skin or pallor, and slow healing of wounds."

PRECAUTIONSBoth Indications Hypersensitivity Severe hypersensitivity reactions may occur. If symptoms of allergic or early signs of hypersensitivity reactions (including generalized urticaria, tightness of the chest, wheezing, hypotension, and anaphylaxis ) occur, discontinue Rhophylac administration immediately and institute appropriate treatment. Medications such as epinephrine should be available for immediate treatment of acute hypersensitivity reactions to Rhophylac or any of its components. Rhophylac contains trace amounts of Ig A (less than 5 mcg/m L) [see DESCRIPTION ]. Patients with known antibodies to Ig A have a greater risk of developing potentially severe hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions. Rhophylac is contraindicated in patients with antibodies against Ig A and a history of hypersensitivity reactions [see CONTRAINDICATIONS ]. Interference With Laboratory Tests The administration of Rh 0 (D) immune globulin may affect the results of blood typing, the antibody screening test, and the direct antiglobulin (Coombs') test. Antepartum administration of Rh 0 (D) immune globulin to the mother can also affect these tests in the newborn infant. Rhophylac can contain antibodies to other Rh antigens (e.g., anti-C antibodies), which might be detected by sensitive serological tests following administration."

The primary toxicity of ribavirin is hemolytic anemia. The anemia associated with REBETOL therapy may result in worsening of cardiac disease that has led to fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarctions. Patients with a history of significant or unstable cardiac disease should not be treated with REBETOL [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, and ADVERSE REACTIONS ]. Significant teratogenic and embryocidal effects have been demonstrated in all animal species exposed to ribavirin. In addition, ribavirin has a multiple-dose half-life of 12 days, and so it may persist in nonplasma compartments for as long as 6 months. Therefore, REBETOL therapy is contraindicated in women who are pregnant and in the male partners of women who are pregnant. Extreme care must be taken to avoid pregnancy during therapy and for 6 months after completion of treatment in both female patients and in female partners of male patients who are taking REBETOL therapy. At least two reliable forms of effective contraception must be utilized during treatment and during the 6-month post-treatment follow-up period [see CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Use in Specific Populations, Nonclinical Toxicology, and PATIENT INFORMATION ].

Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, an erythrocyte protein that transfers oxygen from the lungs to the tissues [ 1 ]. As a component of myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles, iron supports metabolism [ 2 ]. Iron is also necessary for growth, development, normal cellular functioning, and synthesis of some hormones and connective tissue [ 2, 3 ]. Dietary iron has two main forms: heme and nonheme [ 1 ]. Plants and iron-fortified foods contain nonheme iron only, whereas meat, seafood, and poultry contain both heme and nonheme iron [ 2 ]. Heme iron, which is formed when iron combines with protoporphyrin IX, contributes about 10% to 15% of total iron intakes in western populations [ 3-5 ]. Most of the 3 to 4 grams of elemental iron in adults is in hemoglobin [ 2 ]. Much of the remaining iron is stored in the form of ferritin or hemosiderin (a degradation product of ferritin) in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow or is located in myoglobin in muscle tissue [ 1, 5 ]."

The aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcome in patients from these four enzymatic subgroups. Eighty-three patients with isolated methylmalonic acidurias (age 7–33 y) born between 1971 and 1997 were enzymatically characterized and prospectively followed to evaluate the long-term outcome (median follow-up period, 18 y). Patients with mut 0 ( n = 42), mut − ( n = 10), cbl A ( n = 20), and cbl B ( n = 11) defects were included into the study. Thirty patients (37%) died, and 26 patients survived with a severe or moderate neurologic handicap (31%), whereas 27 patients (32%) remained neurologically uncompromised. Chronic renal failure (CRF) was found most frequently in mut 0 (61%) and cbl B patients (66%), and was predicted by the urinary excretion of methylmalonic acid (MMA) before CRF. Overall, patients with mut 0 and cbl B defects had an earlier onset of symptoms, a higher frequency of complications and deaths, and a more pronounced urinary excretion of MMA than those with mut − and cbl A defects."

[ 1] Anti-Kell 1 is becoming relatively more important as prevention of Rh disease is also becoming more effective. Hemolytic disease of the newborn (anti-Kell 1) is caused by a mismatch between the Kell antigens of the mother and fetus. About 91% of the population are Kell 1 negative and about 9% are Kell 1 positive. A fraction of a percentage are homozygous for Kell 1. Therefore, about 4.5% of babies born to a Kell 1 negative mother are Kell 1 positive. [ citation needed]The disease results when maternal antibodies to Kell 1 are transferred to the fetus across the placental barrier, breaching immune privilege. These antibodies can cause severe anemia by interfering with the early proliferation of red blood cells as well as causing alloimmune hemolysis. Very severe disease can occur as early as 20 weeks gestation. Hydrops fetalis can also occur early."

"text": "\"AAP Updates Screening and Assessment Recommendations for Well-Child Visits Share this page: Was this page helpful? March 13, 2014Well-child visits generally involve screening tests, including laboratory tests, as well as other assessments. They are done routinely to help evaluate a child's health and recommend treatment, if needed. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has updated its schedule of the screenings and health assessments that are recommended at each well-child visit from the time a baby is born through age 21. The AAP \"\"periodicity\"\" schedule was published in the March issue of Pediatrics and explained in detail in the third edition of \"\"Bright Futures Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children and Adolescents.\"\" A significant change this year is that under the Affordable Care Act, many health insurance plans are required to cover services that are recommended in the periodicity schedule and cannot charge families a copay or coinsurance. Among the updated guidelines: Newborns should be screened for congenital heart disease before leaving the hospital using pulse oximetry. This quick, painless, noninvasive test measures oxygen saturation in the blood by using a sensor attached by a strap to the hand or foot of the baby. This is a new recommendation. Risk assessment for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia at ages 15 and 30 months is now recommended."

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. In sickle cell disease, the hemoglobin in red blood cells clumps together. This causes red blood cells to become stiff and C-shaped. These sickle cells block blood and oxygen flow in blood vessels. Sickle cells break down more rapidly than normal red blood cells, which results in anemia. What Causes Sickle Cell Disease? Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder. People who have sickle cell disease are born with two sickle cell genes, one from each parent. If one normal hemoglobin gene and one sickle cell gene are inherited, a person will have sickle cell trait."

"text": "Clinical Utility of the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate PRINT COMMENTSSHAREMALCOLM L. BRIGDEN, M. D., B. C. Cancer Agency, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada Am Fam Physician. 1999 Oct 1;60 (5):1443-1450. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) determination is a commonly performed laboratory test with a time-honored role. However, the usefulness of this test has decreased as new methods of evaluating disease have been developed. The test remains helpful in the specific diagnosis of a few conditions, including temporal arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and, possibly, rheumatoid arthritis. It is useful in monitoring these conditions and may predict relapse in patients with Hodgkin's disease. Use of the ESR as a screening test to identify patients who have serious disease is not supported by the literature. Some studies suggest that the test may be useful as a “sickness index” in the elderly or as a screening tool for a few specific infections in certain settings. An extreme elevation of the ESR is strongly associated with serious underlying disease, most often infection, collagen vascular disease or metastatic malignancy. When an increased rate is encountered with no obvious clinical explanation, the physician should repeat the test after an appropriate interval rather than pursue an exhaustive search for occult disease."

"text": "How to Apply For a Tennessee Boating License All you need to know about applications for your TN boating license / card / endorsement. Tennessee requires a Boater Education Certificate for boaters, and not a boating license. The regulatory authority for the card is Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). The certificate is mandatory for all boat operators born after January 1, 1989; older boaters do not require the card. There is no restriction on the age of boat operators. If you are under 12 years of age, you may not operate a powered boat unless under the direct, onboard supervision of an adult. If you are over 12, you must have your Boater Education Card onboard. The laws also require that the person operating a boat should not be under the influence of intoxicants. The legal limit of the blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% and if arrested for a higher BAC, harsh penalties may be imposed on the operator, based on the severity of the offense as well as the previous number of similar convictions. EXEMPTIONSThe following persons are exempt from the above requirements: Boat operators possessing a valid boaters' license issued by the U. S Coast Guard BOATER EDUCATION COURSETo obtain the Boater Education Certificate you must complete a boater education course approved by the TWRA, or pass an approved equivalency test."

"text": "Pennsylvania Fishing Licenses Getting a proper Pennsylvania fishing license is required if you plan on fishing in state waters. Anglers found to be removing wildlife from public waters without a valid, unexpired license to fish will be subject to various penalties and fines. To avoid punishment, anglers in Pennsylvania should become familiar with the various fishing license application guidelines. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission offers two main fishing license options to both residents and non residents, including recreational fishing licenses and commercial fishing licenses. Aside from the two main categories of fishing licenses, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission also offers other options to anglers in the state. Recreational fishing licenses include special permits for disabled veterans, military members, seniors, residents of PA and non residents. Other factors that further categorize fishing licenses include the applicant’s age, the length of the license’s validity and the type of fish being caught. Anglers who would like to get a commercial fishing license can choose between a few options, including the guide license, the charter boat license and permits for certain types of commercial take methods. Certain permits are also available to applicants at discounted rates. Certain groups of individuals, such as permanently disabled fishermen, do not have to apply for documents."

Boat safety courses are an excellent investment of time and money, regardless of your state's boating law. Each state has unique boating education requirements, and the boating rules, laws and regulations vary from state to state for obtaining a boat license or safety certification. Be sure to review the full legal requirements for your particular state. Virginia Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Yes, state has mandatory boater education law that applies to some operators of boats and/or personal watercraft. As of July 1, 2015, all PWC operators age 14 and older and motorboat operators 50 and younger must complete a boating safety course. Beginning July 1, 2016, all PWC operators age 14 and older and all motorboat operators regardless of age need to take a boating safety course. PWC Age Restriction: No person under the age of 14 may operate a PWC. Those operators 14 and 15 MUST show proof of completing an approved and accepted boating safety course either in a classroom or online.

"text": "\"ABA Boater Education Program Boater Education Requirements/Laws Boater education prevents accidents and saves lives. Whether or not their state requires it, all boaters have a responsibility to learn about boat operation, communications, navigation, and life-saving techniques before taking to the water. Statistics bear out what logic suggests—those without boater education put themselves and others at risk. Of the approximately 7,700 accidents reported each year, the U. S. Coast Guard found that nearly 70 percent are caused by operator error as opposed to boat or environmental factors. ( Estimates suggest less than 10% of minor boating accidents are reported.) Not only do incompetent boaters cause more accidents, the accidents they cause are more severe. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), boating fatalities are second only to highway fatalities. Sadly, more than 80 percent of recreational boat operators involved in fatal boating accidents have not taken any type of boater education course. An untrained boater would likely not know the proper steps to take in a life-threatening situation, such as capsizing/man overboard, fire, sinking/flooding, or collision. The lack of education in personal watercraft operators is a cause for concern as well; a 1997 study estimated that 84% of PWC operators (including renters) had received no boating instruction whatsoever."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Mammals Land Mammals Cows and Cattle Cattle Reproduction What is the breeding age of a bull? Flag What is the breeding age of a bull? Answer by Karin L. Confidence votes 95.1KThere's more to raising cattle than throwing them out to pasture. Know your soil and plants to earn profit above ground and wealth below. A bull will often reach puberty by the time he's around 12 months of age (some a little sooner, if the herd's a good fertile herd), and by this time, as a Yearling Bull, he is ready to be used on heifers or sold to another producer's farm or ranch to be used on the heifers and cows there. Some bull calves can show libido when they reach 6 to 8 months of age. Some won't show it until a month or so later. Most bulls should be showing libido by the time they are 12 months old. However, all this depends on the breed and each individual bull. Some breeds that are later maturing (typically Continentals), like Charolais, Simmental, Limousin or Salers, won't start showing puberty until they're around 12 to 16 months of age."

Download Study Seattle, Washington (April 22, 2009) -- Dogs Bite.org, a national dog bite victims' group dedicated to reducing serious dog attacks, releases its first multi-year report on U.

The report documents dog breed information, property information (where the attack occurred) as well as dog bite victim age information. Of the 88 fatal dog attacks recorded by Dogs Bite.org, pit bull type dogs were responsible for 59% (52). This is equivalent to a pit bull killing a U.

If you are in the BEEF Business - Call me for cattle that must perform on Forage with no pampering!My Management and Breeding Philosophy Cattle are Ruminants – and are expected to perform on forages alone or be culled. Many people think they can improve on the program of the Creator, by adding corn, hormones, and low level antibiotics – then they wonder why they have a poor profit picture and poor health from eating those animals. Our program is to improve commercial production efficiency by reducing cost – not by building the highest set of EPD’s regardless of the cost. Our direction is to breed for uniquely rare, more prepotent population for more commercial value to the cow calf producer who utilizes maximum forages by raising a grass efficient cow. I believe the role of the seedstock producer is to provide consistent, predictable genetics that will perform as described to the cattle producer. Our cowherd is divided between a summer calving group and a fall calving group with a 60 day breeding period. This decision is based upon the Fescue base of our pastures, the heat and humidity of Western Kentucky and the photoperiod benefit of calving in these seasons. Heifers are calved at approx. 2 ½ years of age – by calving summer born as fall calving and fall born as summer calving cows."

"text": "\"400-803Scott P. Greiner, Extension Animal Scientist, Virginia Tech Worldwide there are more than 250 breeds of beef cattle. Over 60 of these breeds are present in the United States. However, a relatively small number of breeds (less than 20) constitute the majority of the genetics utilized in the U. S. for commercial beef production. The breed, or combination of breeds, used in a defined breeding program have a significant impact on the efficiency and profitability of the beef enterprise. Breed influences the important parameters of growth rate, reproductive efficiency, maternal ability, and end-product specifications. Additionally, nutritional requirements and production costs are related to traits such as mature cow size and growth rate that are largely determined by breed. Therefore, selecting appropriate breeds to be used in a crossbreeding program is an important decision for beef cattle producers. Characterizing Breeds of Beef Cattle British Breeds British breeds are breeds that were developed in the British Isles and were brought to the United States in the late 1700s through the late 1800s. Angus (Black and Red), Hereford (Horned and Polled), and Shorthorn are the primary British breeds. When compared to Continental European breeds, British breeds are generally smaller in mature size, reach mature size at an earlier age, have less growth potential, excel in fertility and calving ease, attain higher quality grades, and yield carcasses with a lower percentage of saleable product."

In practice, it generally refers to laws pertaining to a specific dog breed or breeds. Some jurisdictions have enacted breed-specific legislation in response to a number of well-publicized incidents involving pit bull-type dogs or other dog breeds commonly used in dog fighting, and some government organizations such as the United States Army [1] and Marine Corps [2] have taken administrative action as well. This legislation ranges from outright bans on the possession of these dogs, to restrictions and conditions on ownership, and often establishes a legal presumption that these dogs are prima facie legally \"\"dangerous\"\" or \"\"vicious\"\". In response, some state-level governments in the United States have prohibited or restricted the ability of municipal governments within those states to enact breed-specific legislation. [ 3]It is generally settled in case law that jurisdictions in the United States and Canada have the right to enact breed-specific legislation; however, the appropriateness and effectiveness of breed-specific legislation in preventing dog bite fatalities and injuries is disputed. [ 4] One point of view is that certain dog breeds are a public safety issue that merits actions such as banning ownership, mandatory spay/neuter for all dogs of these breeds, mandatory microchip implants and liability insurance, or prohibiting people convicted of a felony from owning them. [ 5] [6] Another point of view is that comprehensive \"\"dog bite\"\" legislation, coupled with better consumer education and legally mandating responsible pet keeping practices, is a better solution than breed-specific legislation to the problem of dangerous dogs.

Those who seek to manipulate these dogs' desire to please their handlers will either take their activities further underground or find another breed of dog to suit their needs. In previous decades, the Doberman, the Rottweiler, and the GSD were considered \"\"inherently dangerous\"\" dogs. In response to people listing supposed \"\"dog bite\"\" data, don't buy it unless they can provide conclusive proof the dog *was* in fact a pit bull (not hearsay after an aggressive incident occurred, I'm talking genetic confirmation).

The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) found that the APBT scores higher than the Collie, the Beagle, and many other \"\"family dogs\"\" that do not have to endure the unfair stigmatization that pit bull type dogs do.

This bull with his genetic potential holds the keys to make a profit and a living in the cattle industry and build a concentrated gene pool that will assure you of continued success.

This writers intended purpose in presenting the following information is to make available information of specific nature, which will allow you the opportunity to satisfactorily determine if the prospective bull you are about to select is fertile, sub-fertile or sterile and get your cows pregnant on time. Also allow you to produce the type of cattle the consumer or breeder is searching for. A high fertile bull will impregnate 80% - 90% of the cows he services in the first 21 days of the breeding cycle. The sub-fertile bull will impregnate 60% - 75% in the first 21 days of the breeding cycle. A bull below the sub-fertile line can be as low as 10% conception.

They are known as the world's highest-production dairy animals. The Dutch and German breeders bred and oversaw the development of the breed with the goal of obtaining animals that could best use grass, the area's most abundant resource. Over the centuries, the result was a high-producing, black-and-white dairy cow. With the growth of the New World, markets began to develop for milk in North America and South America, and dairy breeders turned to the Netherlands for their livestock. After about 8,800 Friesians (black pied Germans) had been imported, disease problems in Europe led to the cessation of exports to markets abroad.

"text": "ASK THE VETPuberty In Heifers and Bulls The question for this month's article comes from a breeder in South Texas who asks:“When do heifers and bulls reach puberty? A t what age can a heifer be bred and a bull sire a calf? I keep my weaned calves together in one pasture up until they're about a year old and was wondering if there was any chance of them breeding to each other”. **************************************************************************************** At what age does a heifer reach puberty? Heifers can reach puberty and start to ovulate at a very early age sometimes as young as 4 months old. The average age though is about one year old at which time she is capable of conceiving. In rare instances a heifer can conceive naturally at a much earlier age which is something producers don't plan or expect to happen. Recently, a C-Section was performed on a 14 ½ month old heifer which means that she was bred when she was around 5 to 5 ½ months old. In this particular situation the heifer wasn't weaned yet and more than likely her sire or a yearling bull in the same pasture bred her. It's rare for heifers to calve this young, but unfortunately it does happen."

Ask ten people, and you may get ten different answers! Those of us in the animal sheltering and rescue world usually recommend early-age spay/neuter at 8 weeks of age, or as soon as possible after that. Promoting early-age spay neuter is part of the social responsibility we feel to do all we can to reduce 5,000 dogs and cats euthanized in animal shelters every day. We see the number of puppies and kittens barely 6 months old that come to shelters, suffering from such an early pregnancy. Decades ago, when many vets were receiving their education, 6 months old was the randomly recommended age for fixing a dog or cat – you read that correctly, the 6 month old recommendation is based on clinical sentiment, not than scientific studies!On the other end of the spectrum, you have pet owners who mistakenly think it is better for a female dog or cat to have one heat – or even one litter – before being spayed, or don’t believe in spaying in neutering at all. They believe this myths in spite of vets and scientific organizations supporting the benefits and safety of early-age spay/neuter. To clarify: Early-age spay/neuter includes both pediatric surgery which happens at 6 weeks to 16 weeks, and spay/neuter done before 5 months of age."

Newborn kittens are tiny and cute, but they grow up startlingly quickly. Many female kittens actually will have their first heats as young as 4 months. To spare your sweet little furball any possibility of pregnancy so young, you can consider spaying as early as 8 weeks old. Early Spaying You may cringe at the idea of spaying your very young kitten, but early spaying can be a helpful preventive measure, keeping female cats healthy and totally avoiding the potential physical toll of a very young pregnancy. The ASPCA says spaying in general is also beneficial for preventing serious ailments -- think breast cancer and various uterine disorders. Early spaying will not alter the kitten's appearance as an adult. The ovary-removal operation just keeps her from going into heat. It spares you and Kitty the behaviors of a female cat in season, including excessive vocalization, urine spraying and restlessness. Most importantly, it prevents pregnancy."

"text": "When to Spay/Neuter? Most veterinarians recommend altering a pet before the onset of sexual maturity and in fact, the practice of early age spay/ neuter, which was endorsed by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) in 2006, generally refers to dogs or cats which are at least two pounds and/ or two months of age at the time they are altered. While there is a great deal of research on the benefits of early age sterilization to the animal itself, the overwhelming reason to get your pet spayed today is to prevent the births of unwanted kittens and puppies which remain homeless and are put down in animal shelters. It’s easy for just one litter to turn into a tragedy. According to a Massachusetts study (A. Rowan), over 80% of cats were altered AFTER they had a first litter. By eliminating accidental first litters, the births of over two million kittens could be prevented in the US each year. That’s not too far from the numbers which enter animal shelters nationwide!According to research on early age sterilization, the young animals recover from surgery more quickly than do older ones, they experience less blood loss and far fewer post operative complications than do adult dogs and cats. Additionally, altering animals before the onset of breeding related behaviors (marking, etc), usually prevents these behaviors from starting (it’s easier to avoid problem behaviors than to cure them afterward), a fact which makes the animal into a better ‘citizen’ in their home while keeping unwanted litters from entering the shelter. There is no reason for a shelter or rescue organization to have a policy of releasing unaltered dogs and cats to the public. Importantly, spaying a dog or cat before the first estrus cycle prevents mammary tumors in over 99% of all dogs and 95% of cats."

This will prevent not only any unwanted litters but also some possible health issues for your little girl later in life. Reaching Maturity Typically, your furry companion will become mature when she reaches 5 to 8 months old, according to the Feline Advisory Bureau. At this point, your kitten can have kittens of her own, leading to a number of unwanted little babies for you to deal with. Once she goes into her first estrus or heat cycle, she'll remain in heat for 21 to 30 days, according to the University of California Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. During this time, she won't be able to have a spay surgery because of the medical risks involved, and you'll have to wait until she's out of estrus. When to Spay To prevent your little one from going into heat, ideally she should be spayed prior to or right around 5 months of age. The youngest a kitty should be before she's spayed is 8 weeks old. Little ones this young need to be at least 2.2 pounds before surgery, recommends the Ohio Alleycat Resource."

That a female cat should not be neutered until after her first oestrus period. That growth metabolism might be stunted as a result. That the eventual urethral diameter might be constricted, particularly in male cats, causing eventual urinary tract problems. That female cats, in particular, might later develop incontinence as a result. That certain behavioral problems might result. Most people should know by now that failure to spay & neuter is the number one cause of the pet population explosion.

Individuals like Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein all had groundbreaking ideas that have lived on long after their deaths. Following this fine tradition, we take a look at 30 of the smartest people alive today – including brilliantly accomplished academics, former child prodigies, IQ whizzes, and super sharp young intellectuals with their whole lives ahead of them.30. Paul Allen Image Source Billionaire Paul Allen reportedly has an IQ of between 160 and 170. Allen was born in 1953 in Seattle and made friends with Bill Gates while still at school. He attended Washington State University but quit his studies in 1974 and then talked Gates into leaving Harvard. The following year, the pair founded Microsoft in New Mexico. After he was told that he had Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1982, Allen stepped back from Microsoft and eventually resigned in 2000, although he remained in an advisory capacity. He is a renowned philanthropist, and his donations to science, education, conservation, the arts and technology exceed $1.5 billion. As well as being a stakeholder in technology, media and other companies, Allen owns the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trailblazers and part-owns MLS team the Seattle Sounders."

There were other surprise draws on boards 16 and 19, but you had to go all the way down to board 25 for a favourite actually losing, with Frank Buchenau beating 2645-rated Abhijeet Gupta.

This list is an attempt to examine and categorize the greatest of those. No doubt there are many worthy names that could be added, but here is the Top 10 who I believe have rightly earned their places as the greats. The criterion used is based upon a number of factors including dominance over contemporaries, length of career at the top, contributions to chess and individual flair and brilliance. Please note this is not a head to head of who would beat who, as most modern professional players would dominate the forefathers of yesteryear due to developments in Chess Theory, but a historical look at the greats.10Deep Blue IBM (1989-1997)It may seem odd to have a computer among the greatest chess players, but that’s exactly what this machine was designed to do, play chess. The rivalry between Kasparov and IBM began in 1989 but it wasn’t until May 11, 1997, that Deep Blue finally succeeded in defeating the then World Champion Garry Kasparov in a 6 game match. It won 2, lost 1 and had 3 draws after being defeated by Kasparov the previous year, though 1996 was the first year a computer actually won a game against a reigning World Champion. The win shocked the world, as it dawned upon us that we had succeeded in creating machines that could outthink us. Kasparov accused IBM of cheating, claiming IBM had chess players intervene during the match. IBM denied the allegations."

"text": "NEXTThese time-honored pieces have challenged many a chess player. Vasiliki Varvaki/ Getty Images Think about your favorite board games. When you were little, Chutes and Ladders or Candyland may have been at the top of the list, but you quickly outgrew drawing a card and advancing across the board. Later, you took up Monopoly. It's fun, but it can be never-ending; and there are so many pieces. Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit and Apples to Apples make great party games, but you need a group to make it really fun. Scrabble is challenging, but there are only so many ways to use the X and the Q tiles; and there's always one player who makes up words. Odds are, most families have the classic 3-in-1 combo set of checkers, chess and backgammon, complete with a reversible game board and a package of checkers and chess figures. Each of these games, with histories dating back hundreds of years and across many cultures, has withstood the test of time, but chess stands out as perhaps the perfect game. There aren't too many pieces, only two people can play, and winning is different every time."

Berry achieved a number of firsts: The first guitarist singer to reach charts. The first rock and roller to write words that were relevant and entertaining to his young white audience with out alienating his core black audience. First songwriter/performer in 1955. He achieved all of this with a driving rock and roll rhythm that was, if not brand new certainly unique enough to be instantly recognizable. For those reasons he more than any other artist, is responsible for the direction of popular music. When performing his material Berry made sure to enunciate clearly, singing outside the standard blues realm, and he improvised lyrics that caused to audience to pay closer attention. \"\" If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry\"\" .........

"text": "Rules of the Game Amy Tan 1989Author Biography Plot Summary Characters Themes Style Historical Context Critical Overview Criticism Sources Further Reading In 1989, Amy Tan’s first book, The Joy Luck Club, sold 275,000 hardcover copies in its first Putnam publication, paving the way for other first-time Asian-American writers. Although Tan has since written other critically acclaimed books, such as The Kitchen God’s Wife and The Hundred Secret Senses, many still feel that Tan’s first effort was her most important. The Joy Luck Club is hailed for its discussion of both Chinese Americans and mother-daughter relationships. Set in San Francisco in the 1980s, the majority of the book is told in flashback, and is organized into sixteen separate tales, all narrated by either a Chinese-born mother or her American-born daughter. “ Rules of the Game,” narrated by one of the daughters, Waverly Jong, details Waverly’s rise and fall as an American chess champion when she is a child. Tan had many inspirations for writing the book. The most direct influence was her first trip to China in 1987, where she met her two Chinese half-sisters for the first time. In the book, the very similar story of Jing-Mei Woo, who is preparing to go see her two half-sisters in China shortly after her mother’s death, provides the narrative structure upon which the other stories are hung. Tan was also inspired by Louise Erdrich’s Love Medicine (1984)—a multiple-narrator novel that details the experiences of Native Americans in the United States. The Joy Luck Club was adapted as a critically acclaimed film in 1993, where Tan served as both co-producer and co-screenwriter."

The toppers in our classes were generally termed as “geeks”, “nerds”, “people with high IQ levels” etc. So what exactly is this IQ? Intelligent quotient? We did not ask for the full form. IQ is nothing but the marks that a person scores after appearing for one of the many standardized tests to measure intelligence level of individuals. The general score of 95% population from these tests ranges between 70 and 130. There are a lot of factors that come into play when a person’s IQ is in question. Factors like mortality, morbidity, parental social status, biological parents’ IQ play an important role in determining a person’s IQ. There are a wide variety of methods used in determining a person’s IQ level, like visual tests, verbal tests, abstract reasoning problems, while some tests are based on arithmetic, reading, vocabulary and general knowledge."

"text": "Gaming July 14, 2015How Chess Technology Changed a 1,500-Year-Old Game Derek Slater Writer, Ready State Halfway through last year’s Qatar Masters Open, 23-year-old American Sam Shankland found himself across the chessboard from Gadir Guseinov, a fellow grandmaster from Azerbaijan. Shankland quickly advanced his pawns and knights. Guseinov, 28, paused for long stretches to think, but each exchange only made his situation worse. He gave up on the 38th move. Guseinov may have appeared outclassed, but Shankland won the game before it had even started. His secret: “Computer analysis, looking for new moves in well-known positions,” he said. Computer-processing power has advanced so rapidly that today’s grandmasters have pretty much given up beating even general-purpose PCs at chess. But recently, computers have become indispensable training tools for top players. The Shankland-Guseinov game exemplifies technology’s pervasive role in a centuries-old pursuit. When Guseinov put himself in a position Shankland had researched, Shankland knew exactly what to do."

[ 1] The game is played by millions of people worldwide. Each player begins with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently, with the most powerful being the queen and the least powerful the pawn. The objective is to checkmate [note 1] the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player's pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces, while supporting each other. In addition to checkmate, the game can be won by voluntary resignation of the opponent, which typically occurs when too much material is lost or checkmate appears inevitable."

It's a refundable credit , so if there's any left over after it erases your tax debt, the IRS will give you a refund for the difference. The amount of the credit depends on your income and how many dependents you have.

Earned income means wages and earnings from employment and net profits from self-employment. Wages and salaries are reported on Form W-2. Self-employment income is generally reported on Form 1099-MISC. Both your earned income and your adjusted gross income (AGI) must be less than a certain amount to qualify for the earned income tax credit. Your AGI is your earned income minus certain adjustments for income that you don't have to pay taxes on, such as IRA contributions. It appears on line 37 of Form 1040, on line 21 if you file Form 1040A, and on line 4 of Form 1040EZ."

The views expressed are those of the authors and should not be attributed to the Urban Institute, its trustees, or its funders. The text below is an excerpt from the complete document. Read the full report in PDF format. Abstract The child tax credit (CTC) is a $1,000 partially refundable federal income tax credit for each qualifying child under age 17. In 2007, tax filers may claim a refundable credit (over and above any tax liability) equal to 15 percent of the excess of earnings over $11,750, up to the $1,000 maximum per child. The earnings threshold means that families with very low incomes get no benefit from the credit, and others will receive only a partial credit. This brief analysis shows that many families with young children tend have lower incomes and are thus left out. In 2007, 30 percent of qualifying children under age 2 in working families had family incomes too low to benefit from the full credit, compared with 27 percent of children overall and 24 percent of children 10 and older. Eligibility for Child Tax Credit by Age of Child The child tax credit (CTC) is the single largest federal cash assistance program for children."

The Government’s proposed new measures consist of the following: The Family Tax Cut, a new federal non-refundable credit of up to $2,000 for couples with children under 18, effective as of the 2014 taxation year. An enhancement of the Universal Child Care Benefit that would provide an increased benefit of $160 per month for children under the age of 6 – up from $100 per month, and a new benefit of $60 per month for children aged 6 through 17, effective January 1, 2015. The enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit would replace the existing Child Tax Credit for the 2015 and subsequent taxation years. A $1,000 increase in the maximum dollar amounts that can be claimed under the Child Care Expense Deduction, effective for the 2015 taxation year. This means that the maximum amount would increase to $8,000 from $7,000 per child under age 7, to $5,000 from $4,000 for each child aged 7 through 16 (and infirm dependent children over age 16), and to $11,000 from $10,000 for children who are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit. As previously announced on October 9, 2014, the Government proposes to double the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit from its current limit to $1,000 for the 2014 and subsequent tax years, and make the credit refundable for the 2015 and subsequent tax years. The Family Tax Cut Under Canada’s personal income tax system, a one-earner couple, or a two-earner couple in which one spouse earns significantly more than the other, often pays more federal personal income tax than a two-earner couple that has the same combined income, but where the spouses have equal earnings."

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load DEFINITION of 'Child Tax Credit'The Child Tax Credit is given to taxpayers for each qualifying dependent child who is under the age of 17 at the end of the tax year. Currently, it's a $1,000 nonrefundable credit that reduces the taxpayer's liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, intended to provide an extra measure of tax relief for taxpayers with qualifying dependents. The tax legislation passed in December 2017 doubles the Child Tax Credit to $2,000 per child and makes much of it refundable. Next Up IRS Publication 972: Child Tax ... Dependent Care Credit Tax Credit Non-Refundable Tax Credit BREAKING DOWN 'Child Tax Credit'Because the current Child Tax Credit is nonrefundable, it can only reduce the taxpayer's liability to zero. It should not be confused with dependency exemptions, which may be awarded for dependents who do not qualify for this credit. Some taxpayers can supplement the credit with the Additional Child Tax Credit, which is refundable. How the 2017 Tax Bill Changes the Child Tax Credit The tax legislation passed in December 2017 doubles the Child Tax Credit, starting with the 2018 tax year until the end of 2025. The new tax credit is $2,000 per qualifying dependent child. In addition, it makes $1,400 of the Child Tax Credit refundable. This means that even if the parent ends up owing no taxes, or owing less than $1,400, up to that amount can be received as a tax refund if the child and parent qualify."

The amount of EITC benefit depends on a recipient’s income and number of children. For a person or couple to claim one or more persons as their qualifying child, requirements such as relationship, age, and shared residency must be met. In the 2013 tax year, working families, if they have children, with annual incomes below $37,870 to $51,567 (depending on the number of dependent children) may be eligible for the federal EITC. Childless workers that have incomes below about $14,340 ($19,680 for a married couple) can receive a very small EITC benefit. U. S. tax forms 1040EZ, 1040A, or 1040 can be used to claim EITC without qualifying children. To claim the credit with qualifying children, forms 1040A or 1040 must be used along with Schedule EITC attached. [ 1]EIC phases in slowly, has a medium-length plateau, and then phases out more slowly than it was phased in. Since the credit phases out at 21% (more than one qualifying child) or 16% (one qualifying child), it is always preferable to have one more dollar of actual salary or wages (although technically, since the EIC table moves by fifty-dollar increments, it is always preferable to have an extra fifty-dollar increment of salary or wages) considering the EITC alone. If the EITC is combined with multiple other means-tested programs such as Medicaid or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, it is possible that the marginal tax rate approaches or exceeds 100% in rare circumstances depending on the state of residence; conversely, under certain circumstances, net income can rise faster than the increase in wages because the EITC phases in.

"text": "The Child Tax Credit and other tax breaks can greatly cut the cost of raising your child, which can easily top $200,000 by the time he or she is 17. A trifecta of federal tax credits — the Child Tax Credit, the Child and Dependent Care Credit, and the Earned Income Tax Credit — are among the most effective ways to reduce your tax bill. These credits reduce your tax bill on a dollar-for-dollar basis; one can even result in a refund once your tax liability is reduced to zero. You’ll typically have to fill out a series of worksheets to see whether you qualify for each credit and how much the credit might be. Most online tax preparation software will lead you through the process and calculate the credits for you. You can claim these credits using either Form 1040 or Form 1040A. You can’t use Form 1040EZ. The Child Tax Credit The Child Tax Credit for the 2016 and 2017 filing years offers up to $1,000 per child 16 or younger at the end of the calendar year (so, the child has to be 16 or younger by Dec. 31, 2016, if you want to take the credit when you file your tax return in 2017). You can take full advantage of the credit only if your modified adjusted gross income is under:$110,000 for married filing jointly$55,000 for married filing separately$75,000 for single or head of household. Other eligibility requirements for the Child Tax Credit include: You must claim the child as a dependent on your return. The dependent child must be your biological child, stepchild, foster child, adopted child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or any of their children (i.e., grandchild, nephew, etc.)."

Hodge Fiscal Fact No. 7As we scramble to pay 2003’s taxes, let’s look ahead for a moment at the taxes we will pay for 2004. By midnight on April 15 a year from now, Americans will have filed roughly 132 million tax returns with the IRS. While most of the tax day stories will focus on how much less typical families are paying because of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, little attention will be given to the millions of Americans who will have no income tax liability at all. Tax Foundation economists estimate that for tax year 2004, a record 44 million tax returns will be correctly demanding the return of every dollar (or more) that is being withheld from their paychecks during the year. In other words, after taking all the available credits and deductions, they will owe no income taxes and Uncle Sam may well owe them. Of course, this is quite different from the situation of people who have paid a great deal in income taxes throughout the year but are getting a small refund because the government withheld even more than the amount due. The group of zero-tax filers is growing rapidly because of the Bush tax cuts. It was 29 million in 2000, and it will be 44 million in 2004, a 50 percent increase. ( See Table 1. )"

Never use clumping cat litter for kittens under 8-10 weeks of age or even for those kittens over 8 weeks of age that are just beginning litter training. Kittens can ingest the litter and it will cause major blockages. A rescue friend of mine just had to have one kitten put the sleep because he was completely blocked due to the clumping litter. Some people might want to reconsider using it with any of their cats. When the clay (that causes the matter to clump) get wet, it expands and forms a hard mass. When cats dig in the litter box, it stirs up the clay and dust."

"text": "Cats How to Stop Cats From Peeing in the House They know when they've done wrong.i Stockphoto/Thinkstock |Because cats are fastidious about their own cleanliness, they also want their litter boxes to be kept clean. Some cat owners don't empty the litter boxes often enough to suit their pets that don't want to do their business in the equivalent of an unflushed toilet. Can you blame them? Regularly changing the box to provide fresh litter at least once a day, more frequently if necessary and thoroughly washing the litter box weekly will ensure that your cat always has a clean place to go. Always have at least one more litter box than the number of cats. Even a single cat should have two boxes; that way if you're delayed getting home from work or are too tired to change the litter, the cat will still have a clean place to go. Feline urine has an extremely pungent and unpleasant odor due to feline protein metabolism, a combination of uric acid, phosphates, calcium oxalates and aerates. If the cat has an inflammation or infection in his urinary tract, the protein concentration will be greater and will smell even worse. When dried, the urine forms crystals that create hard-to-remove stains. Specially formulated cleaning products, such as Nature's Miracle Just for Cats and Urine Off, are designed to target cat urine with enzymes that break down the crystals and remove the smell and the stains."

"text": "\"Is My Cat Pregnant? How To Diagnose Cat Pregnancy. Unless a mature female cat is spayed early (prior to attaining puberty) or kept housed in a strictly indoors environment well away from male cats, it is very likely that she will become pregnant at some stage in her life. Cats are rampant breeders and it is not uncommon for cat owners to bring \"\"suddenly-fat,\"\" entire, female cats into the veterinary clinic for reasons of pregnancy diagnosis. In these situations, the cat breeding is generally accidental, not deliberate (i.e. the cat pregnancy is, at best, \"\"unexpected\"\" and, at worst, \"\"unwanted\"\") and the cats are usually presented to the vet clinic in an advanced state of feline gestation. Registered cat breeders, likewise, often make use of the cat pregnancy diagnosis services available at their local vet clinic. Generally, such cat breeders are seeking to confirm whether or not a deliberate mating between cats has resulted in a pregnancy (i.e. the pregnancy is \"\"wanted\"\") and, usually, these female cats are presented to the veterinarian in a much earlier stage of cat pregnancy (often well before they have begun to shown external signs of pregnancy). Commercial cat breeders typically want to know additional facts about the feline pregnancy such as: how many kittens are present, what size the kittens are and whether the cat pregnancy seems viable, healthy and normal. This page contains detailed information about how to diagnose pregnancy in cats, including: feline pregnancy signs, cat pregnancy ultrasounds (cat pregnancy scan), abdominal radiography and certain other cat pregnancy tests. Information on how to determine numbers of kittens present (litter size), sizes of kittens present and assess the basic health of the kittens in utero is also included."

"text": "Helping your new cat or kitten settle in▸ For settling in an adult cat see below Helping kittens to settle in Experiencing a brand new home is daunting for a tiny kitten. Every kitten has a unique personality; some are shy while others are confident. Whatever their character, this is potentially a traumatic transition for kittens as they are leaving their mothers and siblings for the first time. With this in mind it’s best to choose a room where it can be kept for the first few weeks to adjust gradually to its new surroundings. This confinement also aids toilet training and avoids the risk of ‘accidents’ elsewhere in the house. Careful selection of the appropriate room should take the following into consideration: Avoid a room with full-length curtains initially as a kitten will run up them and perch at the top. Check the room for potential hazards such as fireplaces or poisonous plants and make it as safe as possible. Remember that kittens can get into very small spaces. Make sure any hazardous substances are out of harm’s way and cupboards where they are kept are not accessible by curious kittens. Cats and poisons Remove all breakable objects from shelves and windowsills and secure all cupboard doors."

There are some who argue that a kitten is ready to be sold at age 10 weeks; while most responsible breeders do not believe that this is best, it’s within acceptable ranges. However, any breeder who offers you a kitten younger than 10 weeks of age is not up on his or her research and doesn’t have the kitten’s best interest in mind. Run -- don’t walk -- from a breeder selling kittens so young. A kitten younger than 10 weeks of age is not fully weaned or socialized. Most are not fully weaned or socialized until age 12 weeks or older. While some kitten buyers believe \"\"the younger, the better\"\" and that an older kitten will not bond, this simply isn’t true.

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: If the kitten was born and raised outside, they may have a tendency to want to maintain those outside habits inside your home. You may find that they might try and use your plants as a litter box. A kitten that was born and raised, for the first several weeks, inside by its mother will have the advantage of its mother's help in the litter training process, and other domestications. Kittens, generally, can begin to use a litter box at about four weeks of age, and a kitten being raised without its mother or adult cat will take slightly longer to litter train; so, keep this in mind when you begin the task of litter training your kitten. - Place the kitten in the box 1/2 hour after play or meals. -"

Place the litter box where it will be permanently. Cats DO NOT like their bathrooms moved. Sit kitty in the new clean litter and walk away. They will probably sniff it a little and then walk off. Watch your cat carefully and the first time you see them squat pick them up and set them in the litter box. ( NO SPANKING, otherwise they will associate potty with pain, causing all kinds of problems)After your cat uses the litter box once they will never forget it's location and as long as you keep the litter box clean you will most likely never have a problem with it again.

However there are a few things that need to be considered before making one part of your family... Bringing your new kitten home Firstly make sure you check for any potential hazards, make sure that all the windows and doors to the outside are closed, and that any nooks and crannies are blocked off. Kittens are extremely inquisitive and can easily find themselves lost or stuck in the most unlikely places, so it’s important to supervise them as much as possible until they are really familiar with their new home. Kittens are naturally hygienic and will prefer to have their litter away from their food and water bowls. Cats also prefer to drink at a separate location to where they eat, so you might want to consider placing their water bowl away from their food dish. Provide them with a small cosy bed (although don’t be surprised if they make their own minds up about where they would like to sleep!). On the first few nights a warm (not hot) water bottle under a blanket may help compensate for the absence of the kitten’s mother or littermates. When you’re a tiny little kitten the world can be an enormous place so to help them get familiar with where they feed, drink, sleep and where they go to the loo, it’s a really good idea to start them off in just one room. This will be particularly useful with regards to housetraining as once the habit of using the litter tray is strong, they will seek it out when they have access to the rest of your home."

Few conditions strike greater fear into the heart of a cat guardian than \"\"urinary tract problems.\"\" Myths and misinformation abound, and many people know at least one other person who has a cat with this problem or who has lost a cat because of it. \"\" Feline lower urinary tract disorders\"\" (commonly referred to as FLUTD, LUTD, or FUS--feline urologic syndrome) come in at least three distinct varieties. All of them put together affect less than 3% of cats, but for those who are affected, it can be a major problem. Bladder diseases occur in both male and female cats, although males have a higher risk of life-threatening blockage of the urethra. It is usually first seen in cats between 2 and 7 years of age (though some very young and very old cats may develop signs).

"text": "Kittens are usually orphaned when the mother (queen) is not able to adequately care for her kittens. This may be because she cannot produce milk (a condition called 'agalactia') or because she has behavioral or psychological abnormalities which prevent her from adequately caring for her kittens. In rare instances, the mother may actually not be present due to death, injury, or complications arising from a difficult birthing. Some kittens may be several weeks old before their mother becomes unable to care for them. Successful rearing of motherless kittens requires a regular schedule of appropriate feedings, elimination, playing, and sleeping all in a safe and healthy environment. The principles of raising one orphaned kitten are not significantly different than those of raising an entire orphaned litter. In most cases, an entire litter is orphaned rather than a single kitten. Raising an orphaned litter in the complete absence of a mother is time consuming, but rewarding. It is very possible to hand raise an entire litter from birth with the same success rate as could be accomplished by the natural caring mother. To successfully raise an orphaned litter one must consider: Nutrition and weaning Sanitation Temperature and humidity Disease prevention Nurture and socialization Healthy kittens are plump and firm, warm, quiet, and sleep most of the time."

Sodium bentonite deposits were created many years ago as a result of the release of volcanic ash. Over time these deposits were covered with soil and other matter and are now beneath the surface of the earth in areas, such as Wyoming, where the volcanic ash was very present. Certain types of clay create hard clumping litters while other are absorbant but non-clumping such as attapulgite and montmorillonite.

Traditionally, people flushed litter or used it as garden compost. But even \"\"flushable\"\" litters can damage your bathroom or septic system plumbing. Similarly, dumping cat litter in your garden is unsanitary, attracts insects and feral cats, and renders homegrown vegetables or fruits inedible. Instead, use the Litter Champ Disposal System to automatically and completely seal away waste and odor in convenient biodegradable bags you then toss out with the trash."

"text": "Why Should I Get a Colonoscopy? ( Colorectal Cancer)Published: March 14, 2013 Updated: October 27, 2017Tags: Cancer Prevention, Colon Cancer32Colonoscopy exams get a bad rap. Even though the exam is brief and painless, many people fear and avoid them. Roughly 40 percent of Americans for whom they are recommended are not getting colonoscopies. Yet colonoscopy is one of the most effective of all cancer prevention methods. The American Cancer Society estimates there will be 142,820 diagnoses of colorectal cancer in 2013 and 50,830 people will die of the disease. As many as 60 percent of colon cancer deaths could be prevented if everyone 50 years old or above underwent colonoscopies, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A colonoscopy can detect the presence of colon cancer. “Screening with colonoscopy is a huge opportunity to prevent this disease,” says Charles Fuchs, MD, MPH, former director of the Gastrointestinal Oncology Center at Dana-Farber. “ Deaths from colorectal cancer have been going down over the past 10 years, and probably 50 percent of that reduction is due to screening."

"text": "\"When Should You Have a Colonoscopy? July 25, 2007 – 3:36 PM – 1 Comment By Parade @parademagazine QUESTION: When is a colonoscopy really necessary? ANSWER: For those of you who’ve never had one, let me tell you what a colonoscopy involves. A long, flexible, narrow tube with a light and tiny lens at its end is “introduced” into the rectum and threaded through the entire large bowel. ( Frankly, it didn’t seem so “narrow” when I had this procedure done.) This allows the doctor to look throughout your colon and rectum for evidence of cancer or its forerunner, a certain kind of polyp (adenoma). Colonoscopy is the most accurate way to detect (and remove) these cancers early enough for them to be cured. In order to minimize the discomfort associated with the procedure, the patient is sedated but usually not anesthetized. In my personal experience, the colonoscopy itself is not bad; the preparation for it—c leaning the bowel with enemas and laxatives beforehand—is the most unpleasant part. It’s important to detect colorectal cancer as early as possible, because it is the second most common cancer killer overall and the third most common cause of cancer-related death in the United States in both sexes.

Colonoscopy Colonoscopy being performed ICD-9-CM 45.23Me SH D003113OPS-301 code 1-650Medline Plus 003886 [ edit on Wikidata]Colonoscopy ( / ˌ k ɒ l ə ˈ n ɒ s k ə p i /) or coloscopy ( / k ə l ˈ ɒ s k ə p i /) [1] is the endoscopic examination of the large bowel and the distal part of the small bowel with a CCD camera or a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus. It can provide a visual diagnosis (e.g., ulceration, polyps) and grants the opportunity for biopsy or removal of suspected colorectal cancer lesions. Colonoscopy can remove polyps as small as one millimetre or less. Once polyps are removed, they can be studied with the aid of a microscope to determine if they are precancerous or not. It can take up to 15 years for a polyp to turn cancerous. Colonoscopy is similar to sigmoidoscopy —the difference being related to which parts of the colon each can examine. A colonoscopy allows an examination of the entire colon (1200–1500 mm in length). A sigmoidoscopy allows an examination of the distal portion (about 600 mm) of the colon, which may be sufficient because benefits to cancer survival of colonoscopy have been limited to the detection of lesions in the distal portion of the colon. [ 2] [3] [4]A sigmoidoscopy is often used as a screening procedure for a full colonoscopy, often done in conjunction with a fecal occult blood test (FOBT)."

Methods Logistic regression was applied to examine the influence of ethnicity as well as demographics, lifestyle factors, comorbidities, family history of cancer, and previous screening history on self-reported screening participation collected in 1999–2002. Results The analysis included 140,398 participants who identified as white, African American, Native Hawaiian, Japanese American, US born-Latino, or Mexican born-Latino. The screening prevalences overall were mammography: 88% of women, PSA: 45% of men, and colonoscopy: 35% of men and women. All minority groups reported 10–40% lower screening utilization than whites, but Mexican-born Latinos and Native Hawaiian were lowest. Men were nearly twice as likely to have a colonoscopy (OR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.89–1.99) as women. A personal screening history, presence of comorbidities, and family history of cancer predicted higher screening utilization across modalities, but to different degrees across ethnic groups. Conclusions This study confirms previously reported sex differences in colorectal cancer screening and ethnic disparities in screening participation. The findings suggest it may be useful to include personal screening history and family history of cancer into counseling patients about screening participation.

By Liz Kowalczyk Globe Staff November 10, 2014A colonoscopy is one of the most effective tests available to protect against a major cancer — a message heard by growing numbers of adults. But a recently published study revealed that some patients get the exam too often, exposing them to unneeded risks and raising costs. The research, which looked at doctors and their patients in the Boston area, is part of a significant shift in how medical care is studied. Until recently, computerized medical records have been used mostly to study whether patients are failing to get important tests, such as mammograms to detect breast cancer and blood tests to check for high cholesterol. But increasingly, providers are building more sophisticated electronic medical record systems that allow researchers to study when patients receive too many, rather than too few, medical procedures and tests. Advertisement Eliminating unnecessary care has become a major focus in American medicine.

And screening does save lives. But getting a colonoscopy isn’t risk-free. About three out of every 1,000 people who have the procedure experience serious complications, such as bleeding and perforation. The chances of having a problem depend in part on where the procedure is done and the kind of anesthesia used. Here’s what you need to know. When you need screening Experts say that most people should have their first colonoscopy at age 50. If no precancerous polyps or cancer are found, you can usually wait a decade for the next one. But many doctors tell even low-risk patients to come back sooner. Guidelines also say that most people can stop screening at age 75, because after that age the risks of the test begin to outweigh its benefits."

This year, the American Cancer Society estimates more than 100,000 new diagnoses of colon cancer, and more than 40,000 new cases of rectal cancer. Of those diagnosed, more than 51,000 are expected to die from this preventable and treatable cancer. Kristin Le Grand, D. O., a family medicine practitioner with Providence Medical Group-Camas in Camas, Wash., sheds some light on why screening for colorectal cancer is important, as well as what to expect when you show up for your appointment. Dr. Le Grand currently is accepting new patients. Is a colonoscopy the most effective screening test for colon cancer? Yes, colonoscopy is the most recommended and most reliable test for many reasons. It provides the most direct and complete view of the colon, where cancer could be hiding. It allows your doctor to perform a biopsy or to take a sample of any abnormal tissue found during screening. And you need a colonoscopy only once every 10 years, starting at the age of 50, as long as the screen is normal."

"text": "\"By Steven Reinberg Health Day Reporter MONDAY, March 11 (Health Day News) -- Almost a quarter of the colonoscopies done on seniors each year may not be necessary, a new study by University of Texas researchers suggests. Colonoscopy is the \"\"gold standard\"\" screening for colorectal cancer, but guidelines from different groups vary, patients may pressure doctors to get the test even though they don't need it and some doctors are unaware of the guidelines, the researchers said in explaining their findings. The team looked at Medicare records in Texas, along with a nationwide sampling of screening colonoscopies that were done on those aged 70 and older in 2008-2009. Using age-based screening guidelines or results from an earlier screening, 23.4 percent of the colonoscopies were what they called potentially inappropriate. \"\" This is important information for patients and their providers, who should be aware of screening guidelines and the risks of colonoscopy screening in older patients,\"\" said lead researcher Kristin Sheffield, an assistant professor at the university's Medical Branch in Galveston. \"\" We hope that there will be efforts to align screening practices with current guidelines, perhaps through better communication between gastroenterologists and primary care physicians, and public education campaigns to correct misperceptions by patients and physicians regarding cancer screening,\"\" she added. Generally, a screening colonoscopy, as opposed to a diagnostic colonoscopy, is done after age 50, and if no polyps are found, is not done again for another 10 years. If polyps are found or there is a family history of colon cancer, then the follow-up screenings are recommended more frequently. Doctors may not follow the guidelines for a number of reasons, Sheffield said. \"\" There may be a request from a patient or referring physician; poor communication between gastroenterologists and primary care physicians; or misperceptions on the part of the patient or physician regarding the benefits of cancer screening, particularly in older age groups,\"\" she said."

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This document is the first update of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) colorectal cancer (CRC) screening recommendations since 2000. The CRC screening tests are now grouped into cancer prevention tests and cancer detection tests. Colonoscopy every 10 years, beginning at age 50, remains the preferred CRC screening strategy. It is recognized that colonoscopy is not available in every clinical setting because of economic limitations. It is also realized that not all eligible persons are willing to undergo colonoscopy for screening purposes. In these cases, patients should be offered an alternative CRC prevention test (flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5–10 years, or a computed tomography (CT) colonography every 5 years) or a cancer detection test (fecal immunochemical test for blood, FIT). Introduction The members of the writing committee carried out a systematic literature review and developed the updated guideline recommendation document."

"text": "How Often Should One Have a Colonoscopy?by PATRICIA CULPEPPER Aug. 14, 2017Colonoscopy saves lives when used to detect early-stage colorectal cancer. The American Cancer Society and U. S. Preventative Services Task Force recommend regular screening for colorectal cancer beginning at age 50, for people at average risk. The American College of Gastroenterology further advises that African-Americans begin screening at age 45 due to increased risk. Colonoscopy allows visualization of the rectum and the entire length of the colon and should be repeated every 10 years. Alternative screening methods are available, including flexible sigmoidoscopy, double-contrast barium enema, CT colonography and fecal immunochemical test, or FIT. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Screening for People at Increased Risk Certain factors increase your risk for colorectal cancer and may call for earlier or more frequent screening. People with a close relative diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 60 should begin screening at age 40 -- or 10 years earlier than the age the relative developed cancer. Colonoscopy should be repeated every 5 years in this situation. Screening prior to age 50 may also be warranted for people who are obese or have a history of heavy smoking. Discuss a more advanced screening schedule with your doctor if you believe you are at increased risk."

"text": "\"Congenital Trigger Thumb By Dr Arun Pal Singh Earlier termed as congenital trigger thumb, stenosing tendovaginitis of the flexor pollicis longus, is a relatively rare deformity in which the fibrous tendon sheath is thickened and constricted. There is a palpable nodule on the volar aspect of the thumb in the region of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint (Notta’s nodule). Approximately 3 per 1,000 children are diagnosed by the age of 1 years. Pediatric trigger thumb is separate entity than adult acquired trigger thumb. Male and females are affected equally. About 25% are bilateral. More favored term now is pediatric trigger thumb as the presentation is sometime after infancy. Congenital Trigger Thumb, Notta nodule is marked Image Credit: Wikipedia Pathophysiology of Congenital Trigger Thumb The incongruity of the tendon’s surface interferes with its normal gliding within its sheath. Snapping or triggering results from the blockage of the tendon prominence against the constricted sheath and the sudden release following application of passive force and passage past the obstruction. Flexor pollicis longus tendon is thickened due to abnormal collagen degeneration and synovial proliferation."

Specialty Medical genetics Phocomelia is a condition that involves malformations of the arms and legs. Although many factors can cause phocomelia, the prominent roots come from the use of the drug thalidomide and from genetic inheritance. Occurrence in an individual results in various abnormalities to the face, limbs, ears, nose, vessels and many other underdevelopments. Although operations may improve some abnormalities, many are not surgically treatable due to the lack of nerves and other related structures. The term is from Ancient Greek φώκη phōkē, \"\" seal (animal) \"\" + -o-interfix + μέλος melos, \"\"limb\"\" + English suffix -ia ). Phocomelia is an extremely rare congenital disorder involving malformation of the limbs ( dysmelia ). Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire coined the term in 1836.

Currently, the most common method [ citation needed] in modern target archery is the Mediterranean draw, long the usual method in European archery. Other methods include the pinch draw and the Mongolian or \"\"thumb\"\" draw. In traditional archery practice outside of Western Europe the variations of the thumb draw are by far the most dominant draw types with the Mediterranean draw restricted to Olympic style target shooting. Contents1 Pinch draw and release1.1 Variations2 Mediterranean draw and release2.1 Variations3 Thumb draw and release4 Japanese draw and release5 Equipment6 References7 General references Pinch draw and release [ edit]A pinch draw The pinch draw squeezes the end of the arrow between the thumb and index finger. Most people use this draw naturally when they first start shooting. [ citation needed] This is often called the \"\"primary draw/release\"\"; the advantage of this draw is that the release is very clean; when the pull reaches a certain point, friction can no longer hold the arrow and it flies free. However, this release prevents the drawing of a stiff bow unless the archer possesses enormous strength in the fingers. It was widespread in traditional archery in the Americas and is seen (with the Mediterranean draw) in the earlier Assyrian reliefs of Ashurnasirpal II. Among Greek archers it was probably the most common draw until the end of the Classical period. ["

"text": "\"Introduction The most common symptom of the lumbar and sacral areas, by far, is pain. In fact, back pain is one of the most prevalent symptoms in America today, second only to headache. Its causes may be direct or referred and be the result of dysfunction or disease, either focal or general in nature. The multiplicity of causative and effected ailments is almost endless. At times, the cause is readily apparent. At other times, it is a frustrating determination because of the spinal column's complex structure, weight-bearing chores, and close relationship with the nervous system and cerebrospinal circulation. The confusion can only be relieved through knowledge of the structure, function, and pathophysiology of the body that is producing the symptoms and signs, and an intelligent interpretation of all findings. Functional Considerations As in the thoracic spine, the movements of the lumbar spine are flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation. Lateral flexion is relatively free in the lumbar region, followed in order of mobility by extension, flexion, and rotation (minimal). The range of lumbar motion is determined by the disc's resistance to distortion, its thickness (Table 12.1), and the angle and size of the articular surfaces."

Your fingers are made up of tendons that enable them to move and bend. In your fingers your tendons are covered in a tunnel like structure of tissues, called a sheath. Normally, Your fingers should easily glide without any issues. However, it’s not uncommon for your tendons to become inflamed for whatever reason. The inflammation makes the tendons too swollen to properly glide throughout your sheath. If your tendons are not gliding through the sheath correctly they could potentially lock, bend, click, or knot...which can be very painful and debilitating, this is what we call trigger finger. What Causes Trigger Finger? There is no clear and definitive cause of trigger finger. However, there are some clear circumstances that make trigger finger more common or at least increase your chances of getting trigger finger."

Diseases can be caused by injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms of unknown illness, deviant behaviors and atypical kind of functions and body structures. Syndrome is a medical term for specific symptoms and signs observed by physicians and given details by the patient’s phenomena and characteristics that often occur and presence of featured illnesses. Most rare diseases could be fatal if not given the proper medical attention. Diseases, could be classified as communicable and non-communicable disease. The four types of diseases are as follows: pathogenic disease, hereditary disease, physiological disease and deficiency disease. Patients who died of the disease are commonly declared as “death by natural causes”.1) Botulism Disease Botulism of a 14 year old patient, with total ophthalmoplegia with Ptosis in the left image and dilated fixed right pupil. Infant Botulism Botulism with infected skin lesions Botulism is a rare paralytic disease caused by botulinum toxins from metabolic wastes produced by the bacterium Chlostridium Botolinum which affects wide range of mammals, birds and aquatic animals like fish. The toxins infects humans and animals through digestive tracts by the bacterium in children or infant botulism and adult intestinal toxemia, by ingesting toxin from contaminated foods, or contamination of open wounds.

"text": "What Are the Surgery Options to Treat My Trigger Finger? Shaun Surgery & Rehab Trigger finger is a common problem that can cause a locking sensation and pain in one or more fingers. This condition tends to be more frequent in the thumb, middle, and ring finger. This disorder is usually linked to repeatedly grasping or gripping a certain object (steering wheel while driving, a racket while playing tennis or badmin ton, or even a cellphone, for instance). This repetitive gripping eventually breaks down and swells the fat pad at the base of the finger. It’s precisely this swelling that causes the locking sensation and pain that you feel whenever you try to move your finger. There are many conservative and at home treatments to help relieve your pain caused by trigger finger or thumb. Some of these remedies include resting, ice and hot therapy, exercises, stretches, anti-inflammatory medications, and immobilizing the finger with a trigger finger splint. Some try a steroid injection (most common treatment method) to the affected finger to help reduce inflammation. Unfortunately, if none of these methods treats or reduces your pain, surgery is pursued."

"text": "\"Apert syndrome Hand in Apert syndrome with syndactyly Specialty Medical genetics Apert syndrome is a form of acrocephalosyndactyly, a congenital disorder characterized by malformations of the skull, face, hands and feet. It is classified as a branchial arch syndrome, affecting the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, the precursor of the maxilla and mandible. Disturbances in the development of the branchial arches in fetal development create lasting and widespread effects. In 1906, Eugène Apert, a French physician, described nine people sharing similar attributes and characteristics. [ 1] Linguistically, in the term \"\"acrocephalosyndactyly\"\", acro is Greek for \"\"peak\"\", referring to the \"\"peaked\"\" head that is common in the syndrome; cephalo, also from Greek, is a combining form meaning \"\"head\"\"; syndactyly refers to webbing of fingers and toes. In embryology, the hands and feet have selective cells that die in a process called selective cell death, or apoptosis, causing separation of the digits. In the case of acrocephalosyndactyly, selective cell death does not occur and skin, and rarely bone, between the fingers and toes fuses. The cranial bones are affected as well, similar to Crouzon syndrome and Pfeiffer syndrome. Craniosynostosis occurs when the fetal skull and facial bones fuse too soon in utero, disrupting normal bone growth. Fusion of different sutures leads to different patterns of growth on the skull."

Top hand surgeons use these safe, effective procedures to help improve the lives of patients on a daily basis. The many types of hand surgery can be divided into the following groups. Hand Surgery Categories Skin flaps and grafts are done using a section of skin from elsewhere on your body to close an injury. Skin flaps involve grafting skin along with attached muscle and blood vessels and are used to repair more serious skin and tissue damage. Tendon repairs. Tendons run alongside bones, attaching them to muscle for movement and they can be damaged or severed. Primary tendon repair is typically done when a recent injury is being treated and closed, the same day it occurred or within the week (delayed primary repair). Secondary tendon repair (often involving tendon grafts from elsewhere in your body) is done at 3 or more weeks after an accident or injury. Nerve repair."

Craniofacial abnormalities may consist of characteristic facial features that cause the individual to appear to be whistling. These features include an extremely small puckered mouth (microstomia); a \"\"full\"\" forehead appearance, unusually prominent cheeks; and thin, pursed lips. Affected infants may also have an unusually flat middle portion of the face, a high roof of the mouth (palate), an unusually small jaw (micrognathia), an abnormally small tongue (microglossia), and/or a raised, scar-like mark in the shape of an \"\"H\"\" or a \"\"V\"\" extending from the lower lip to the chin. Affected infants often have abnormalities affecting the eyes including widely-spaced deep-set eyes, crossed eyes (strabismus), and/or downslanting eyelid folds (palpebral fissures). Malformations of the hands and feet are also characteristic of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome. Children with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome may also exhibit speech impairment; swallowing and eating difficulties; vomiting; failure to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive); and/or respiratory problems that may result in life-threatening complications. Freeman-Sheldon syndrome can be inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic trait. However, most cases occur randomly with no apparent cause (sporadically).

"text": "Arm and hand pain: Trigger thumb, trigger fingerby Christina Abbott on April 19, 2010When the thumb or finger locks up it is called a Trigger Thumb or Trigger Finger. They are slightly different in the mechanism that may be causing each. The cramping can be painful. For a trigger thumb, the tendon of the long flexor of the thumb seems to actually get caught between tight muscles, preventing movement. There also may be involvement of a little “sesamoid bone” imbedded within the tendon of the thumb. With a trigger finger, the muscles cramp up to stiffen the finger. There are some suggestions that there is swelling in the tendon sheath, but that is not well supported. Sometimes the digit snaps open, even making a sound as it does so. Trigger thumb usually can be released, at least temporarily, by forcing the digit to open. Putting pressure on the tendon of the thumb while trying to open it seems to help."

"text": "Introduction Trigger finger is a condition that affects one or more of the hand's tendons, making it difficult to bend the affected finger or thumb. If the tendon becomes swollen and inflamed it can 'catch' in the tunnel it runs through (the tendon sheath). This can make it difficult to move the affected finger or thumb and can result in a clicking sensation. Trigger finger is also known as stenosing tenosynovitis or stenosing tenovaginosis. It usually affects the thumb, ring finger or little finger. One or more fingers can be affected, and the problem may develop in both hands. It's more common in the right hand, which may be because most people are right-handed. Symptoms of trigger finger can include pain at the base of the affected finger or thumb when you move it or press on it, and stiffness or clicking when you move the affected finger or thumb, particularly first thing in the morning. If the condition gets worse, your finger may get stuck in a bent position and then suddenly pop straight. Eventually, it may not fully bend or straighten."

"text": "\"Trigger Finger Surgery - Orthopedic/Knee Surgery Trigger Finger Surgery Treatment Abroad Overview The term \"\"trigger finger\"\" is a term that describes the position of the fingers or the thumb when they literally lock into place in a bent position. In many cases, this condition is caused by tendinitis, or inflammation of the tendons that cover what is called the tendon sheath, found in between the joints in all your fingers. Tendon sheaths serve to keep flexor tendons in their proper place as the finger is extended or contracted. When this sheath thickens, it behaves much like a pulley, gradually causing the fingers to bend inward toward the palm. The index finger is one of the most commonly affected by this condition, often frozen or bent into place in a half-bent position, much like the position of the index finger on the trigger of a gun, hence its name. Benefits of Trigger Finger Surgery Individuals who experience symptoms of trigger finger, often caused by repetitive and forceful motion of the fingers, may benefit from finger trigger release surgical procedures. Individuals who spend years working with power tools, or those diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis or even diabetes may experience symptoms of trigger finger or trigger thumb at some point. In most cases, nonsurgical methods are utilized to treat trigger finger. Nonsurgical treatments may include rest, medication such as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), or acetaminophen. If those don't work, your doctor may suggest steroid injections, though these solutions are often temporary."

Thyroid disease is common (approximately 1% of the female population). [ 2] It presents with wide-ranging and often nonspecific symptoms - so needs to be considered in many differentials and, once diagnosed, needs to be regularly monitored to optimise therapy. Thyroid function tests (TFTs) are amongst the most commonly requested laboratory investigations in both primary and secondary care. [ 3]In primary care, the most common use of a TFT is as part of a screen for nonspecific fatigue or illness. The value of such tests without a goitre or other clinical features has been challenged and some advocate the use of watchful waiting with the delayed use of laboratory tests (at four weeks post-presentation) as a more appropriate strategy for investigating unexplained fatigue. [ 4]Physiology An understanding of normal homeostatic mechanisms helps to interpret TFTs: The hypothalamus, pituitary gland and the thyroid all play a part in the feedback and regulatory mechanisms involved in the production of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) from the thyroid gland. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is secreted by the hypothalamus and stimulates the production of the polypeptide thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary. TSH then stimulates the production and release of T4 and T3 from the thyroid. Once released, T4 and T3 then exert a negative feedback mechanism on TSH production."

It can occur in different ways, from a minor anomaly to complete absence of the radius, radial side of the carpal bones and thumb. [ 1] Hypoplasia of the distal humerus may be present as well and can lead to stiffnes of the elbow. [ 2] Radial deviation of the wrist is caused by lack of support to the carpus, radial deviation may be reinforced if forearm muscles are functioning poorly or have abnormal insertions. [ 3] Although radial longitudinal deficiency is often bilateral, the extent of involvement is most often asymmetric. [ 1]The incidence is between 1:30,000 and 1:100,000 and it is more often a sporadic mutation rather than an inherited condition. [ 1] [3] In case of an inherited condition, several syndromes are known for an association with radial dysplasia, such as the cardiovascular Holt-Oram syndrome, the gastrointestinal VATER syndrome and the hematologic Fanconi anemia and TAR syndrome.

The patient may present with a digit locked in a particular position, most often flexion, which may require gentle, passive manipulation into full extension. [ 1] See the image below. Trigger finger often results in difficulty flexing or (in this case) extending metacarpophalangeal joint of involved digit. View Media Gallery TF results from thickening of the flexor tendon within the distal aspect of the palm. [ 2, 3] This thickening causes abnormal gliding and locking of the tendon within the tendon sheath. Specifically, the affected tendon is caught at the edge of the first annular (A1) pulley. Signs and symptoms Signs and symptoms of TF are as follows: Locking or catching during active flexion-extension activity (passive manipulation may be needed to extend the digit in the later stages)Stiff digit, especially in long-standing or neglected cases Pain over the distal palm Pain radiating along the digit Triggering on active or passive extension by the patient Palpable snapping sensation or crepitus over the A1 pulley Tenderness over the A1 pulley Palpable nodule in the line of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS), just distal to the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint in the palm Fixed-flexion deformity in late presentations, especially in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint Evidence of associated conditions (eg, rheumatoid arthritis [RA], gout)Early signs of triggering in other digits (may be bilateral)Children with trigger thumb rarely complain of pain. They usually are brought in for evaluation when aged 1-4 years, when the parent first notices a flexed posture of the thumb’s interphalangeal (IP) joint. These children often demonstrate bilateral fixed flexion contractures of the thumb by the time they present to the physician. ["

The thumb is the involved finger most of the time. The parents may go on to say that they can straighten the finger out but they feel a small pop when they do. Trigger finger is a condition which is associated mostly with adults, but occasionally a child may be born with this condition. Often it is not noticed for some time by the parents. The thumb is the finger most likely involved in children. The thumb or finger may occasionally lock in a flexed position. Often the digit can be straightened with help, but sometimes it remains flexed for a period of time. The thumb flexes at the IP joint, while the other fingers flex at the PIP joint. In order to bend, each finger has a flexor tendon running along the palmar surface of the digit."

There may be tax withheld from dividends received from some foreign investments, but not from dividends received from US corporations. See our article on which investments should be held inside vs outside an RRSP. A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) must be converted to a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) by the end of the year in which the owner turns 71. RRIF owners are required to withdraw a minimum amount each year , starting the year after the RRIF is established. In most cases, there is no advantage gained by converting your RRSP to a RRIF before the year in which you turn 65. However, if you plan to make regular withdrawals from your RRSP before you turn 65, check to see if the fees charged by your financial institution would be less if the RRSP, or a portion of it, was converted to a RRIF. These fees are not tax deductible. When the time comes to convert your RRSP to a RRIF, it is not necessary to sell the investments in the RRSP - the investments can just be rolled over to a RRIF. If you are doing this prior to age 71, a partial rollover can be done."

The RRSP is still one of the best tax savings vehicles available to Canadians. The RRSP is a tax deduction where the savings is equally to your personal marginal tax rate. Watch investment income outside the RRSPs. If you have investments both inside and outside the RRSP, consider tax efficiency of investment income. You should consider putting funds inside that generate interest and other income like GICs, money market funds or bond investments inside your RRSP. In your non-registered portfolio, you should invest in things that have investments that generate tax preferred sources of income like capital gains or dividends."

Zoomer | February 21st, 2010In 2007, many Canadians took advantage of the new pension-income splitting provisions for the first time to help reduce their tax payable by hundreds or thousands of dollars. According to the government, income splitting provides more than $1 billion in tax relief annually for older Canadians. Income splitting allows taxpayers with eligible pension income to split up to 50 per cent with a spouse or common-law partner. When there is one spouse with very little income, the tax savings can be substantial. However, higher-income taxpayers could find it results in a reduced clawback of Old Age Security (OAS) benefits and the age amount. The first step is to determine if you are eligible for income splitting. You need to meet the government’s definition of a pensioner. This means you lived in Canada at the end of 2009 or in the case of someone who died during the year, was resident in Canada immediately before death. You also need to have received income eligible for the pension income amount during 2009."

It includes a basic pension that goes to almost all people 65 or older who have lived in Canada for at least 10 years over the age of 18. How much income to expect? The amount of OAS you receive depends on the number of years you live in Canada after you turn 18. Generally, you receive a full pension (Currently the maximum OAS income is $570.52 per month-January 2016) if you live in Canada for at least 40 years after age 18. If you live here for less time, you may qualify for a partial pension. With a partial pension, you'll receive 1/40th of the full pension for each complete year you live in Canada after you turn 18. OAS is indexed for inflation every January, April, July and October. Here are the maximum OAS rates: Year Maximum Monthly Benefit Maximum Annual Benefit2018 $586.66 $7,039.922017 $578.53 $6,942.362016 $570.52 $6,846.242015 $563.74 $6,764.882014 $551.54 $6,618.482013 $546.07 $6,552.842012 $540.12 $6,481.442011 $524.23 $6,290.76Old Age Security clawback The Old Age Security clawback means that high-income earners (over the age of 65) are required to repay some or the entire OAS pension.

Typical income tax deductions include:registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs)union or professional duesbooks and instrumentsmalpractice insurancechild care expensesemployment expensesmoving expensesmedical officer training program It is very important to keep all your documents associated with these expenses to provide support for your deductions in case Canada Revenue Agency wants to see them. RRSPs A registered retired savings plan (RRSP) is a plan registered with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) which encourages you to save for your retirement. What are the benefits of investing in an RRSP? The benefits of RRSPs include that they grow tax-free and are only taxed upon withdrawal from the plan (tax deferral). As well, they reduce your taxable income, generally in the year you make the contribution. They also provide income splitting opportunities through spousal RRSP contributions and pension income splitting. How much can I invest in an RRSP? The 2017 RRSP contribution limit is 18% of your previous year’s earned income, up to a maximum of $26,010, less your prior year pension adjustment. The limit increases every year because of inflation."

Here's what you need to know Himani Ediriweera for Postmedia News Postmedia News February 11, 2013 2:41 PM ESTFiled under Personal Finance Retirement Comment Facebook Twitter Reddit Email More After years spent paying into a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP), investors eventually have to use the funds as post-retirement income. RRSPs must be collapsed by Dec. 31 of the year in which the holder turns 71. If RRSP savings are not put into a tax-deferred income plan by that time, the entire value of the RRSP becomes taxable income. A registered retirement income fund, or RRIF, is one of the most common options Canadians choose to convert RRSP savings to tax-deferred income. “There are generally five types of RRIF, including self-directed, fully managed, guaranteed interest, mutual fund, and segregated fund,” says Tom Hamza, president of Investor Education Fund, a Toronto-based not-for profit organization founded by the Ontario Securities Commission. “ The choice depends on the level of flexibility you are looking for. ”Investments in a RRIF continue to accumulate earnings. “ Restrictions apply to withdrawals, not to returns,” says Mr. Hamza. But once set up, no contributions can be made to a RRIF, nor can it be terminated except by the holder’s death."

Contributions can be made to a spousal RRSP up to and including the year that the spouse or common-law partner turns 71 years of age. This maximum age was increased from 69 to 71 by the 2007 Federal budget , giving people an additional two years to contribute. RRSP contribution room is based on \"\"earned income\"\". Generally, earned income includes a taxpayer's income (earned while the taxpayer was resident in Canada) from the following:income from office or employment reported on a T4 slip (line 101 of the tax return)other employment income (line 104) - this includes foreign employment income, which must be reported in Canadian dollars . Employment income on a US W-2 slip may have been reduced by contributions to a \"\"401 (k), 457 or 403 (b) plan, US Medicare and Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)\"\". These amounts must be added to foreign employment income on line 104. However, based on the Fifth Protocol to the Canada - U. S. Income Tax Treaty (Article XVIII), starting with the 2009 tax year, these amounts may be deductible on line 207 of your tax return.

The GIS is an income-tested pension program that, together with Old Age Security (OAS), helps low-income seniors avoid poverty. You might therefore be surprised to learn that even the relatively wealthy can re-organize their finances to qualify for GIS benefits, at least until they reach age 70.

Almost every source of income counts for purposes of calculating this reduction, with the major exception being OAS pension. The Guaranteed Income Supplement therefore diminishes as non-OAS income rises and, in the case of married couples, stops altogether once combined income exceeds $22,560. Or does it? Most of us would agree that $22,560 plus OAS pension is not a lot to live on, especially if we want to enjoy an active life. Below, I will show how we can spend considerably more than that and still receive most, if not all, of the maximum GIS entitlement."

"text": "Tail Docking in Dogs22 Aug, 2015 Pet Place Staff 166,149 Views Share Information on Canine Tail Docking Tail docking is the surgical removal of part of the dog’s tail. This procedure is most often performed in healthy puppies between 2 to 5 days of age. A similar procedure may be performed in older pets, but this is considered a tail amputation, not a tail dock. What Are the Indications for Performing Tail Docking a Dog? Tail docking is most often performed in puppies to prevent tail damage in certain dog breeds, for hygiene reasons and to comply with specific breed standards. What Preoperative Examinations or Tests Are Needed? Preoperative tests depend in part on the age and general health of the animal as well as the cause for the tail docking. Since the procedure is most often performed on very young, healthy puppies, preoperative tests are usually not performed. What Type of Anesthesia is Needed? In puppies less than 8 days of age, either local anesthetic or no anesthesia is used."

"text": "Featured Breed Blue Heeler Country of Origin The Australian Cattle Dog (also known as the ‘Queensland Heeler’, ’Blue Heeler’, ‘Red Heeler’, or ‘Hall’s Heeler’) comes from Ireland—no, just kidding, Australia. When the wide open plains of Australia were opened for grazing in the early 19th century, the cattle were so active and unruly that the established lines of European herders weren’t up to the task. In 1840, a man named Thomas Hall crossed some blue merle Smooth Highland Collies with dingoes to create a breed known as the ‘Hall’s Heelers.’ These were crossed with the Bull Terrier in the 1870’s, making the breed more aggressive, and later with the Dalmatian for increased ‘carriage’ capability—the ability to run alongside horses. The Australian Cattle Dog’s distinct appearance and highly capable herding skills gained it notoriety across Australia. It was later imported to America and recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1980. An Australian Cattle Dog named Bluey lived from 1910 to 1939, giving it the Guinness World Record for longest canine life span. Size The Australian Cattle Dog has a shoulder height of 43-51 cm (17-20 in) and weighs 12-18 kg (25-50 lbs). It is a fast, strong breed with powerful muscles and a distinct appearance from its dingo heritage. The Australian Cattle Dog has a broad head with dark brown, oval eyes, small, pricked ears, and a scissors bite."

After many years of research we were able to realize our dream of owning one of these beautiful specimens (with the help of my mother) when we were able to persuade Ingmar Sioen & Mariette Poppe of the world famous Van Sapho's Hoeve kennels in Belgium to send us a beautiful Bobtail male by the name of Elmo Van Sapho's Hoeve - \"\"Elmo\"\". Later when we were offered a Bobtail bitch from Bruce Cattanach by the name of Steynmere Had To Be You - \"\"Meg\"\" we decided it was an offer to good to refuse. Meg is the litter sister to the male Bobtail Steynmere Had It All - \"\"Monty\"\" also imported into Australia. To date we have had 26 Bobtail litters under the Boxberry (24) & Looje (2) kennel names, producing 78 Bobtails with more litters due in the future. All bobtail puppies carrying the Boxberry kennel name or by our stud dogs will be sold to pet homes only, they will not be sold to puppy farmers or people who want to breed for profit. We believe that our Bobtails are very special and in trying to maintain and improve the quality of Bobtails produced breeders require extensive experience and knowledge to be able to breed them for the betterment of the breed. If you are looking for a Bobtail puppy to breed from you would be wise to look elsewhere. We have a large waiting list for Bobtails, at this stage (February 2012) anyone wishing to purchase a Bobtail from our kennel should be prepared to wait between 6-36 months for a Bobtail puppy (depending on your colour & sex preferences).

( September 2007) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Two lambs having their tails docked by the use of rubber rings for elastration. The tight rubber rings block blood flow to the lower portion of the tail, which will atrophy and fall off. Docking is the intentional removal of part of an animal's tail or, sometimes, ears. The term cropping is more commonly used in reference to the cropping of ears, while docking more commonly—but not exclusively—refers to the tail. The term tailing is also commonly used. The term arises because the living flesh of the tail, from which the animal's tail hairs grow, commonly is known as the dock."

"text": "\"On November 26, 2008, the American Veterinarian Medical Association (AVMA) took the following official position on ear cropping and tail docking of dogs:\"\"The AVMA opposes ear cropping and tail docking of dogs when done solely for cosmetic purposes. The AVMA encourages the elimination of ear cropping and tail docking from breed standards. \"\" The AKC (American Kennel Club) disagrees:\"\"We recognize ear cropping and tail docking, as prescribed in certain breed standards, are acceptable practices integral to defining and preserving breed character, enhancing good health, and preventing injuries,\"\" according to the AKC. \"\" These breed characteristics are procedures performed to insure the safety of dogs that on a daily basis perform heroic roles with Homeland Security, serve in the U. S. Military and at police departments protecting tens of thousands of communities throughout our nation as well as competing in the field. Mislabeling these procedures as \"\"cosmetic\"\" is a severe mischaracterization that connotes a lack of respect and knowledge of history and the function of purebred dogs.\"\" \""

"text": "\"Pets Dogs How much does ear cliping cost for a pitbull?2 following 14 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: About $200 to $600 for conventional cropping. it can be well over $1000 for lazer cropping which requires no stiches and is supposedly pain free. also, in regards to a comment or two that an APBT must get it's ears cropped no later that 12 weeks - that is FALSE. It is true for many other breeds, especially if they are getting show crops for danes or dobies but for a battle cut- which is the type that is used on most pits, cane corsos, dogos, presas ect. It can be done at anytime in their life because the ears do not \"\"stand\"\". A proper crop on these breeds should require absolutely no posting. However, it will be easier on the dog to have it done young. Ears are tender for about a week. It's not nearly as bad a procedure as many self proclaimed animal activists on yahoo answers will try to make it out to be. Spaying is much more risky."
