"text": "When Should a Baby Stop Using a Bottle? It is common for toddlers to become attached to their bottles because they spend so much time using them. In addition to providing food, bottles can provide a sense of security or comfort for a child, making it more difficult when it comes time to take these bottles away. So when is the right time to wean your child? Studies indicate that families should not wait too long to take this important step, as it can increase the difficulty of these efforts. It is also important to know the tricks for the transition from bottle to cup. When Should a Baby Stop Using a Bottle? Research from The American Academy of Pediatrics has found that babies should no longer be using a bottle around a year in age and absolutely no later than 18 months. According to a recent study which examined the habits of 6750 children born in 2001 through the Early Childbirth Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort showed that around 22 percent of children would still regularly use a bottle around 24 months. The study also revealed that around a forth of these bottle users were obese at age five and a half."

"text": "Does Baby Formula Need to be Warmed Up?by PETER MITCHELL Oct. 31, 2015Baby formula does not need to be warmed, according to experts from North Dakota State University. Nonetheless, your baby may prefer the taste and temperature of warmed formula. Newborns may reject cold milk or show signs of stomach upset after feeding on cold formula. At the right temperature, warm formula comforts your baby by feeling like breast milk. Where possible, warm your formula before giving it to your baby. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Baby Formula Baby formula comes in powder or liquid concentrate form. In both cases, quality baby formula contains a mix of proteins, minerals and vitamins designed to offer similar nutrition to human breast milk. Don't mix formula with cow's milk as this contains a different protein make-up than breast milk. Most formula mixes with fresh cool water from a tap or bottle. This makes baby formula very cold when first mixed unless heated."

Dr. Greene’s Answer: Many parents share your concern. By the time that you are juggling multiple feedings and formula or breast milk, an uneasy feeling often develops that something is getting lost in the mix. When mealtime comes, which do you feed first, formula or solids? Or should the formula be given between meals, and how much? How much milk?"

Parents are therefore hopeful that they can start their babies early on learning the healthy habit of drinking water. But when can babies drink water? Before giving your little baby some water, read these useful tips for when and how you can introduce water to babies. When Can Babies Drink Water？Experts believe that it is not a good idea to give babies water until they are about six months old. Babies usually get enough hydration from breast milk or their formula even when the weather is hot. This is because too much water can cause the baby's tummy to be full, which can reduce the desire to feed and interfere with the absorption of nutrients from milk. Small sips of water may not hurt the baby but it is advisable to consult the doctor before giving a baby some water before six months of age."

"text": "Pregnancy & Parenting Newborn & Baby Can a 6 month old eat wheat bread? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: At six months: While continuing to give 4-5 feedings of breast milk or formula (24-32 ounces) and 4 or more tablespoons of iron fortified cereal each day, you can now start to give well-cooked, strained, or mashed vegetables or commercially prepared baby foods. Start with one tablespoon of a mild tasting vegetable, such as green beans, peas, squash or carrots and gradually increase to 4-5 tablespoons one or two times each day. Start fruits about a month after starting vegetables and again, gradually increase to 4-5 tablespoons one or two times each day. You can use peeled, cooked, or canned fruits (but only those packed in light syrup or water) that have been blenderized or strained. You can also begin to offer 4-6 ounces of 100% fruit juices. Start by mixing one part juice with two parts of water and offer it in a cup only. Delay giving finger foods or meat and other protein foods until infants are eight to nine months old. Nine Months : While continuing to give 3-4 feedings of breast milk or formula (24-32 ounces) and 4 or more tablespoons of cereal, vegetables and fruit one or two times each day, you can now start to give more protein containing foods. These include well-cooked, strained or ground plain meats (chicken, beef, turkey, veal, lamb, boneless fish, or liver), mild cheese, peanutbutter, or egg yolks (no egg whites as there is a high chance of allergic reactions in infants less than 12 months old)."

"text": "When Should Our Toddler Be Weaned From The Bottle? Baby and Toddler 0 Comments Weaning from the bottle is one of the significant developmental milestones that your baby or toddler will go through. It signifies that he is growing up; he is drinking like mommy and daddy, and well on his way to being able to do many more things for himself. Generally, a baby will be ready to be weaned from the bottle sometime between the ages of 9 months and 18 months. There are basically two things that must happen for your baby or toddler to be weaned from the bottle. The first is that your baby’s sucking need has to slow down or stop. The second is that he has to be able to control his hands and mouth well enough to drink from the cup. To help the transition from the bottle to a cup, there are some things that you can do early on. First, during those first few months of your baby’s life, you should only use the bottle when it is time for your baby to eat. Don’t give your baby a bottle in bed."

"text": "Home Babies Feeding When should my baby start using a sippy cup? Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email Q: When should my baby switch from a bottle to a sippy cup? A: Most babies should be off the bottle around the time they turn 1. The longer you wait to wean, the more attached your baby will get to his bottle -- and the harder it will be for him to give up. In addition, bottle-feeding past this age can lead to tooth decay. ( Children tend to take longer to finish drinks in a bottle, exposing their teeth to the sugar in formula and milk for longer periods. ) It's a good idea to get your baby used to a sippy cup around 9 months (or earlier, if he's showing interest), so he has time to get used to it. Pick a plastic spill-proof cup with a spout, which looks most like a bottle. Finding the right cup for your child may require some trial and error. Some children go through several styles before finding one they love (some children like handles, while others can't stand them, for example)."

"text": "Infancy Babies on the Bottle: How Long Is Too Long? By Amie Ninh May 12, 2011Read Later Jamie Grill via Getty Images Email Print Share Follow @TIMEHealth When it is time to wean your baby off the bottle? This can be difficult for new parents to gauge, but a new study encourages families not to wait too long. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies give up the bottle entirely by about age 1, and no later than 18 months. But the new study, an analysis of data on 6,750 children born in 2001, who participated in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort, found that 22% of babies were still using bottles regularly at 24 months. And nearly a quarter of those children, the study found, were obese by age five-and-a-half. By comparison, 16% of children who had stopped using bottles by age 2 were obese three-and-a-half years later. ( More on TIME.com: Baby Getting Heavy? The Culprit May Be in the Bottle)The researchers suggest that “prolonged bottle use” — drinking from the bottle beyond 12 to 14 months — adds excess calories to a child’s diet, increasing the risk of weight gain. Kids start eating solid foods around four to six months; by age 1, the typical baby is mainly eating solid food, supplemented with about 10 to 16 ounces of whole milk per day (and, for some children, breast-feeding)."

The mother is moving her young, and one has fallen or been separated. Predation of the nest has occurred – if a cat or crow for example, raids the nest.

Share Expert Answer Jill Irving Health visitor Your formula-fed baby may occasionally need extra water, especially if the weather is hot and she’s thirstier than usual. However, only give small amounts of water at a time. You don’t want water to replace a feed and make your baby too full for her milk. If your baby is younger than six months, boil the water first and allow it to cool before offering it to her. Tap water is fine to use, as it’s cheap, safe, and there’s plenty of it. You will need to offer your baby water if she becomes constipated. Extra fluids can help to soften her poo if she hasn’t been getting enough liquids. Check that you've been measuring out and mixing up her formula correctly. Formula with too much powder in it can cause constipation."

That’s what happened to Jessica Moser. A judge told her to stop breastfeeding her ten-month-old daughter in order for the baby to spend overnights with dad. In an interview with a local TV station Moser expressed her frustration that she was ordered to stop nursing or risk losing custody of her daughter. “I’m feeling frustrated, hurt,” Moser said. “ I’m trying to keep myself from crying, it’s very emotional. ”She also added that her daughter, Jasmine, refuses the bottle which leaves breastfeeding as the only other option.

The reason for this is that not all babies crawl plus it is not a prerequisite to have crawling mastered before another milestone can be reached. If a baby is going to crawl, the average age range is 7-10 months to develop proficiency. Since this is an average, some babies will be able to crawl as early as 5-6 months while others can be as old as 12-14 months before they are able to crawl in the traditional sense."

"text": "\"Home News 3 Signs Your Baby Should Stop Swaddling3 Signs Your Baby Should Stop Swaddling November 18, 2013 4 Comments We were faced with a common parenting dilemma: our new baby Charlotte loved to be swaddled and slept like a baby up until it was time for the swaddle to come off. Our little bundle of joy had become so accustomed to sleeping in her swaddle, without it she did not sleep AT ALL! We were exhausted, frustrated and sleepless for two weeks trying every sleep tip and post-swaddle sleep sac we could find -- but nothing worked. Especially because baby Charlotte had a startle reflex so anything we tried that was arms-free did not help. Tired and determined to help our little girl sleep, I pulled out my sewing machine and invented the first Zipadee-Zip, and it worked! Charlotte slept 12 hours that first night and for two long naps each day after. Now, we are dedicated to helping other parents know when it's time to stop swaddling and how to make the transition easy for baby and parents. Here are three signs that your baby should make the transition out of a swaddle: Sign #1: Suddenly baby wakes up multiple times during the night One sign that it's time to transition from swaddling is when your baby who has slept well while swaddled, all of a sudden wakes up multiple times a night acting as if they are uncomfortable trying to find a more comfortable position to sleep in. If you are able to wait until this sign occurs, the transition from swaddling to the Zipadee-Zip is pretty immediate. This will usually happen between 4-6 months of age."

"text": "When Do Babies Roll Over? Babies master the art of rolling over when they have learnt how to sit and have gained enough head control. This is the time when the baby starts to flip around from one position to the other. He will try to get on his tummy while lying on his back and vice versa and in doing so will begin moving around on the bed. You might have questions about when and how babies start rolling over and how you can help them in this regard. This article will tackle each of these questions and attempt to give detailed answers of all of them. When Do Babies Roll Over? Babies begin to roll over when they reach the age of three months. By this time, they become able to change their lying position from back to front with ease. As they grow and reach the age of six months, the muscles of their arm and neck become so strong that they are able to roll over on their right side as well as the left side without encountering any trouble."

Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In addition to being a mom for 29 years to 4, I have also been a licensed child care provider in my home for 21 years. Currently, as part of my licensing requirements, I must take a yearly class on SIDS. Statistically, most cases of SIDS occur between 2-4 months of age with 90% of SIDS deaths occurring before 9 months. SIDS is not typically used as a diagnosis after 12 months. The most common recommendation is to initially place infants to sleep on their backs for the first 12 months. However, when the infant is able to roll over on their own in to the sleep position of his/her choice than it is fine to leave the baby in that position."

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

"text": "INFANTS - Basics The safest way for infants to ride is rear-facing in the back seat. Rear-facing child safety seats protect the infant’s head, neck and back in a crash. The infant should ride rear- facing until at least 20 pounds and one year of age, longer if possible to protect their developing muscles and bones ( Click here for recommendation from American Academy of Pediatrics ). Infant-only child safety seats are designed for rear-facing use only Baby's head must be at least one inch below the top of the child safety seat. The label on the child safety seat gives the upper weight limit of the child safety seat. Infant-only seats usually range from birth or five pounds to about 20 pounds. The harness retainer clip should be properly fastened at the armpit level with the harness strap snug. ALWAYS monitor baby when he /she is in the infant-only seat. The infant-only child safety seat should not be used as a crib, and should NEVER be placed on a high table or unstable surface. Keep harness straps fastened snug on baby even when the child safety seat is not being used in your vehicle."

"text": "\"How do I Extend a Short Nap? Tweet Before trying to extend a nap, first make sure you have read over the post Short Naps and have ruled out some of the common causes of short naps (hunger, over tiredness, light etc.). Take note that if a baby has slept for 30 minutes or more the chances of himfalling to sleep again are decreased (especially unassisted) because he has had some of the tiredness \"\"knocked off\"\". How to extend a nap As a mini-nap is nearing it's end you can attempt to go to your baby and soothe him back to sleep. You can either go in shortly before your baby normally awakens and begin the soothing routine, or go in as soon as you hear your baby awaken. It is sometimes better if a dad rather than a breastfeeding mom does this as baby may smell mom's milk and want to eat (even if he isn't very hungry). Also, this method is sometimes stimulating to a baby rather than soothing, it just depends on your child's personality. How will you know the mini nap is coming near an end? Well, if your baby is waking up after the first sleep cycle (see Sleep Transitions) then most likely you will have figured out, almost to the minute, how long your baby will sleep before arousing. If your baby is waking up at random times, then listen in for arousal sounds of your baby."

"text": "7 tips for making tummy time a little less…um…miserable. March 25, 2012 by christiekiley 71 Comments Ahhh, tummy time. If you’ve spent any amount of time around babies or grown-ups who care for them in the last few years, then I’m sure you’ve heard at least a little about this topic. Tummy time — as the name clearly indicates — is time awake that a baby spends on his, um, tummy. This trendy title is apparently a fairly recent addition to the vocabulary of American parents, as very few adults of my parents’ generation (parents who raised kids in the 80’s) seem to be familiar with it. This makes sense, since it wasn’t until the early 90’s that the “Back to Sleep” campaign was launched and, suddenly, babies nationwide found themselves on their backs for much of their early days, causing them to miss out on all that time that used to be spent lying on their tummies. Tummy time is important because the skills learned while on the tummy are essential for later development. Think about it, most of the big milestones in the first year of life involve the prone position in one form or another (e.g., lifting and turning the head, rolling, pushing the chest off the ground, getting up to hands and knees, scooting, crawling). Tummy time also gives the back of baby’s head a break in an effort to prevent flat spots from forming (something called “positional plagiocephaly”). And, as an occupational therapist, I should mention that tummy time also contributes to the strength and skills needed in the upper body and hands for school-age tasks such as handwriting."

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

Once toddlerhood begins, you may find it hard to remember when this mini dynamo ever sat still!But baby's abilities don't develop overnight. She'll put a lot of hard work and patience into mastering these motor skills.

So it's never too early to begin babyproofing. Heads Up Baby's quest to gain control begins from the head down.

Wondering what the average age is for most babies to roll over, sit up on their own, crawl, walk and talk? Read on to discover when your little one may master these remarkable skills. Birth to six months Rolling over Your little one may begin rolling over (and around) at two to three months. Rolling from her tummy to her back is likely to come first, followed by back to tummy around the age of five to six months. This first major skill comes from the development of her neck and arm muscles, which she’ll strengthen by pushing her upper half from the floor to take a peek around during tummy time. Once she masters the art of flipping from one side to the other, watch out! She’ll be on the move to get to you or that toy that has caught her twinkling eyes. Sitting up Quick tip: As confident as baby may be with her new ability, always stay close by and cushion the surrounding floor, in case she topples over or gets bored sitting up. At five months, your little roller may begin to gain control of her upper body and sit up on her own."

Each child develops at an individual pace, although most children fall into a certain range for meeting developmental milestones. If your baby falls outside the general guidelines, talk to your doctor, but don't panic; a small percentage of perfectly normal babies do things earlier or later than most.

Some crawl on hands and knees, while others pulls themselves in an army-style crawl across the floor. Some don't put their knees on the floor but move crab-like on hands and feet. Some babies never crawl but choose to roll or scoot on their well-padded behinds across the floor. Babies often go backwards before they go forwards. Most start crawling between 6 and 10 months, Baby Center.com reports."

"text": "\"Physical Changes During Puberty Puberty is made up of a clear sequence of stages, affecting the skeletal, muscular, reproductive, and nearly all other bodily systems. Physical changes during puberty tend to be more gradual and steady. This is comforting to many parents who feel childhood passes much too quickly. Changes in Body Composition & Height Most children have a slimmer appearance during middle childhood than they did during the preschool years. This is due to shifts in the accumulation and location of body fat. As a child's entire body size increases, the amount of body fat stays relatively stable, giving her a thinner look. Also during this stage of life, a child's legs are longer in proportion to the body than they were before. On average, the steady growth of middle childhood results in an increase in height of a little over 2 inches a year in both boys and girls. Weight gain averages about 6.5 pounds a year. A number of factors, including how close the child is to puberty, will determine when and how much a child grows."

"text": "When Do Girls Stop Growing and What to Do to Grow Taller By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health Girls experience growth spurts at the start of puberty and many parents may wonder when do girls stop growing. The rate of growth up until a girl reaches puberty at the age of 8 to 13 happens very gradually. However, with the onset of puberty, the body starts to release hormones which cause a growth spurt as well as many changes in a girl’s body. Generally, girls stop growing between the ages of 15 and 17. When Do Girls Stop Growing? Girls generally grow fast in height around the ages of 9-12. Girls experience their fastest growth spurts around the ages of 11 and 12. During this time a girl grows in height on average around 3 inches (7 – 8cm) per year. When a girl has her first period, around the age of 12, growth slows down a little and a girl will grow a few more inches. So, the majority of girls will stop growing and reach their final height when they are around the age of 17 years old."

Girls only: How much do you worry about getting period cramps? I'm really worried I'm a little worried I'm not worried Vote View Results A girl's first period, called menarche (say: MEH-nar-kee), signals that she is growing up and her body is preparing so that she might have a baby someday. A period is the 2 to 7 days that a girl or woman experiences menstrual flow — blood and tissue that leaves the body through the vagina. For most girls, it amounts to about 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters). To catch the blood and prevent stains on her clothes, a girl can wear a pad, which sticks to her underwear, or a tampon, which is inserted into the vagina. What's Going On Inside? The blood and tissue leaves the body because it's no longer needed. It comes from the uterus, the organ inside a woman's body where a baby grows."

Follow 21 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hi there, When females reach reproductive age they begin having periods as part of their menstrual cycle. When a girl has her \"\"period\"\" it means that her body has reached the stage in her cycle in which it sheds the lining of her uterus. Once a month the ovaries release an egg which travels to the uterus; the uterus builds up extra lining in preparation for pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilised by sperm, the uterus will shed the lining and the process will begin again (this is why pregnant women do not have periods). This occurs roughly once a month and lasts for about 3 - 6 days. What the body sheds mostly consists of blood and some endometrium lining, so there are a variety of sanitary products available to help women manage their periods, such as tampons or pads."

The school curriculum, media influences, and talking with friends teaches girls how their bodies and emotions will change. It’s important for your daughter to separate fact from fiction. Before your daughter reaches the start of puberty, have an honest conversation about the changes she’s about to experience with her body.

Stay calm. If you’re the parent of a girl, inevitably, at some point she will emerge from the bathroom or come home from school and inform you, in some probably unexpected fashion, that her menstrual cycle has begun. It’s highly unlikely that she will use that particular genteel phrase, but whatever she says and no matter her age, Dr. Louise Greenspan, a co-author of “ The New Puberty: How to Navigate Early Development in Today’s Girls, ” says parents need to normalize it. “ React in a calm way. Internally you may be freaking out that your 4th grader has her period, but externally you need to be calm. ”“Even if she’s the very first one in her class, let her know that her body is doing what it should be doing,” agrees her co-author, Julianna Deardorff. The age at which girls get their first menstrual cycle varies, with anything older than 10 automatically falling into the “normal” category, while a period’s earlier arrival (before about 9 years, 9 months) is generally considered worth discussing with a pediatrician to rule out any medical problems. Most of the time, the menstrual cycle begins about two years after a girl’s breasts start to develop, If a girl has not had her first period by age 16, or if it has been more than two-to-three years since breast growth started, that, too, should be discussed with a doctor. But whenever a girl’s period begins, there are certain practical and emotional elements of the experience that girls, and their parents, need to be ready for."

According to pediatrics American girls menstruate nine months earlier that they did 20 years ago on average around 12 years of age.

Puberty in girls usually starts between 8 and 13 years of age, however, it can also be normal for girls to start puberty before 8 or after 13.

Additionally, how tall a girl will be is ultimately controlled by genetics. There is a very broad range of age in which a girl enters puberty-related growth spurts.

The word puberty is derived from the Latin word “puber” which means adult. Puberty is the term used to describe the years during which a girl’s body undergoes the transition to physiologic adulthood. A series of changes happen in the body. These changes cause sexual development, a different body shape and an increase in height. Also, this is the time when a girl begins to mature emotionally. Not only does her body change how it looks but it also changes how it works. During puberty is when a girl starts her menstruation. Puberty starts when a part of a girl’s brain called the hypothalamus starts to produce a hormone called Gn RH ( gonadotropin-releasing hormone ). Once the hypothalamus starts to release this hormone in a specific pattern called a “pulsatile pattern” it causes another structure at the base of the brain called the anterior pituitary gland to produce two important substances called FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone)."

ARMSTRONG ROBERTS/CLASSICSTOCK/CORBISShare Tech & Science Puberty Health and Medicine Health and Science At age 6, Rebecca’s body began to develop in ways that seemed unusual. Her mother, Ellen, had noticed a change in Rebecca’s breast area, but some of the other little girls, the chubbier ones at least, also seemed to be carrying extra weight there. But there was also the hair that had begun to appear under her daughter’s arms. “People assumed she was so much older than she was, but still she would cry sometimes, and people would look at you like, How old is that kid?” says Ellen, who spoke to Newsweek under condition of anonymity. When a test showed Rebecca’s bone age to be 10½, a pediatric endocrinologist diagnosed “precocious puberty.” While the exact cause is unknown, this endocrine disorder is triggered by the early release of hormones in the brain, a circumstance that hurls a child into sexual maturation years before the usual age. This sudden sexual development in a child so young can be unnerving to parents. “ My daughter is 7 years and 10 months old. She started having body odor at 5 and breast buds at 6,” one mother wrote recently in a group chat about the condition."

[ 1] The main tenet of cultural psychology is that mind and culture are inseparable and mutually constitutive, meaning that people are shaped by their culture and their culture is also shaped by them. [ 2] As Richard Shweder, one of the major proponents of the field, writes, \"\"Cultural psychology is the study of the way cultural traditions and social practices regulate, express, and transform the human psyche, resulting less in psychic unity for humankind than in ethnic divergences in mind, self, and emotion.\"\" [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Relationships with other branches of psychology2 Importance2.1 Need for expanded cultural research3 Mutual constitution4 Criticisms4.1 Stereotyping4.2 Faulty methodology5 Methods6 Cultural models6.1 The 3 I's culture cycle6.1.1 Individuals6.1.2 Interactions6.1.3 Institutions6.2 Whiting model7 Culture and motivation7.1 Self-enhancement vs. self-improvement8 Culture and empathy8.1 Cultural orientation: collectivistic and individualistic8.2 Empathy across cultures8.3 Intercultural and ethnocultural empathy9 Research institutions10 References11 Further reading Relationships with other branches of psychology [ edit]Cultural psychology is often confused with cross-cultural psychology. However, cultural psychology is distinct from cross-cultural psychology in that the cross-cultural psychologists generally use culture as a means of testing the universality of psychological processes rather than determining how local cultural practices shape psychological processes. [ 4] So whereas a cross-cultural psychologist might ask whether Jean Piaget 's stages of development are universal across a variety of cultures, a cultural psychologist would be interested in how the social practices of a particular set of cultures shape the development of cognitive processes in different ways. [ 5]Cultural psychology research informs several fields within psychology, including social psychology, cultural-historical psychology, developmental psychology, and cognitive psychology. However, the relativist perspective of cultural psychology, through which cultural psychologists compare thought patterns and behaviors within and across cultures, tends to clash with the universal perspectives common in most fields in psychology, which seek to qualify fundamental psychological truths that are consistent across all of humanity. Importance [ edit]Need for expanded cultural research [ edit]According to Richard Shweder, there has been repeated failure to replicate Western psychology laboratory findings in non-Western settings. [ 3] Therefore, a major goal of cultural psychology is to have many and varied cultures contribute to basic psychological theories in order to correct these theories so that they become more relevant to the predictions, descriptions, and explanations of all human behaviors, not just Western ones.

Some of the children laugh; some look the other way. Your child rushes over to help him up. Empathy. You breathe a sigh of relief. Is it something you did to teach your child to imagine how someone else felt and respond with care and concern, or was your child born with an innate capacity for empathy? Studies show the answer is likely both. Empathic children are aware of their own feelings and individuality; are able to relate to common feelings while also distinguishing their own emotions from the feelings of others; can imagine how others might feel in a given situation and respond in a way they imagine might be comforting to that person. Studies show children are born equipped to be empathic, but these skills take time and practice to develop.

DNA is perhaps the most famous biological molecule; it is present in all forms of life on earth. But what is DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid? Here, we cover the essentials. Virtually every cell in your body contains DNA or the genetic code that makes you you. DNA carries the instructions for the development, growth, reproduction, and functioning of all life. Differences in the genetic code are the reason why one person has blue eyes rather than brown, why some people are susceptible to certain diseases, why birds only have two wings, and why giraffes have long necks."

"text": "\"Mind Kids (and Animals) Who Fail Classic Mirror Tests May Still Have Sense of Self Flaws in a long-accepted test used to search for signs of self-awareness are revealing that selfhood varies culturally and exists on a continuum By Maggie Koerth-Baker on November 29, 2010Credit: i Stock Photo A crooked tooth. That funky mole. A pimple on your chin. When you stare into the mirror and pick apart the little imperfections, you're doing more than being too hard on yourself. In fact, that behavior—understanding that your reflection is you, and seeing how you differ from other people—is often taken as a demonstration of some complex cognitive gymnastics that not all species can pull off. Since the 1970s psychologists have used mirrors to search for signs of self-awareness in both humans and animals. Along the way, they came to believe that humans were almost universally able to pass a mirror-based self-recognition test by 24 months of age. But a 2004 study published in Child Development called that idea into question. Researchers found the widely accepted finding only applied to kids from Western nations, where most of the previous studies had been done. Now, a study published September 9 in The Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology is reinforcing that idea and taking it further."

It is an essential skill for third parties and disputants alike, as it enables the listener to receive and accurately interpret the speaker's message, and then provide an appropriate response. The response is an integral part of the listening process and can be critical to the success of a negotiation or mediation. Among its benefits, empathic listeningbuilds trust and respect,enables the disputants to release their emotions,reduces tensions,encourages the surfacing of information, andcreates a safe environment that is conducive to collaborative problem solving. \"\" Active Listening by Carl R. Rogers and Richard E. Farson *****\"\"Active listening does not necessarily mean long sessions spent listening to grievances, personal or otherwise. It is simply a way of approaching those problems which arise out of the usual day-to-day events of any job. To be effective, active listening must be firmly grounded in the basic attitudes of the user. We cannot employ it as a technique if our fundamental attitudes are in conflict with its basic concepts."

"text": "Person Review of the Person-centred Approach to Counselling1. Introduction The person-centred approach has been widely used in counselling, educational field and organizational culture over the past 60 years. Carl Rogers had a major influence on the growth and development of the counseling profession in the United States and in some European countries. Abraham Maslow’s theory of ‘hierarchy of needs’, which suggests that once the basic, biological needs for survival are met, the individual will be motivated by higher order needs such as love needs, esteem needs and self-actualization needs, contributed significantly to understanding the life (Trahar, 1999: 8). The first part of the essay will review the philosophy of the person-centred approach. The theory of this approach will be analyzed in the second part from several perspectives such as the goals of counseling, the relationship between counselors and clients and requirement of counselors. The method of the person-centred counseling process will be introduced briefly in the third part. The author will also present her own opinion of the strengths and weaknesses of this model in detail.2. The philosophy of the person-centred approach Person-centred counselling was originally developed in the 1940s by Carl Rogers (1902-1987) as a reaction against psychoanalytic therapy. ‘ It has its roots in humanistic psychology and the primarily European concepts of phenomenology and existentialism’ (Trahar, 1999: 8)."

What are interpersonal skills and what about interpersonal definition? What Are Interpersonal Skills? Interpersonal communication is so important, but what is it exactly? What’s a good interpersonal definition, if we want to exclude digital space, social media and online communication? Basically, we need to ask, what are interpersonal skills and how do they pertain to you and me? Don’t worry, our interpersonal definition simply states that these are the skills we need as human beings in order to converse and talk about things on a daily basis. These skills sound very straightforward, but as we know, practice makes perfect, and if we don’t practice them, our interpersonal communication skills can take a nosedive. This is especially true for some of us who might have a hard time putting this interpersonal definition into daily action.

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

Posted Sep 12, 2013SHARETWEETEMAILMOREAs many of us know, Erik Erikson’s theory of the life course proposes a developmental task or crisis for eight stages of life. The task designated for old age, the eighth stage of life, is integrity versus despair . Fewer of us may remember that Erikson also identified a particular strength for each life stage that results from the successful resolution of the crisis. For late adulthood, his theory identified the strength of wisdom. Much has been written about wisdom but the concept is still an elusive one. How do we define wisdom in mid-life ? Are we there yet?? One review of the literature on wisdom defined it as “the application of tacit knowledge [practical knowledge, or knowing how to do things] toward the achievement of a common good through a balance among intrapersonal, interpersonal and extra- personal interests” (Sternberg & Lubart, 2001, p. 507)."

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

And by the time children are 3 to 4 years old, they recognize certain behaviors — such as hitting — as wrong, even when no one is watching, says Smetana, a professor at the University of Rochester. Children are also capable of distinguishing between social rules and moral rules. For instance, kids tend to know that raising your hand before speaking in class is a social rule, while head-butting another kid is breaking a moral rule. By asking questions such as, \"\"Would it be OK to hit if there were no rule about it at your school?\"\" Smetana is able to probe the inner workings of the minds of preschoolers, gaining valuable insight into the development of moral decision-making.

How many times have you walked away from a support experience and thought “Damn, that rep really had some serious customer service skills.”? Probably not too many. We all know that customer service is hard work, especially if you want to make it truly good, but many of us probably forget that like any other job, great support stems from simply developing a certain set of core competences. Behind the scenes of every customer service interaction, there are a handful of main customer service skills that make the difference between an average support rep, and one who makes customers feel like they’ve experienced truly exceptional customer service. Today, we’re going to talk about five essential customer service skills that will cultivate loyalty and happiness, along with tips and examples for how to develop them across your whole team. Customer Service Skill #1: Empathy Have you ever found yourself thinking that the support you just got felt... “human”? Like you were doing business with an actual person, and not just a company? That “warm and fluffy” attribute—humanness—is actually tied to something very real: empathy. Great support feels human because it feels like the support agent genuinely understands you and what you want, rather than giving you robotic, generic service."

This blog will clarify the nature of empathy, and why it is so important, and gives you nine practical guidelines for addressing this block to successful interpersonal relationships. Empathy is a condition of functional interpersonal relationships. In personal contexts, including marriages, partnerships, friendships, and parental relationships, as well as in professional contexts such as managerial, professional-client, student-teacher, and peer relationships, being empathetic to the situations of others can promote trust, leading to open and honest communication, thereby facilitating resolution of interpersonal conflicts and constructive change. Indeed, the recent work on emotional intelligence undertaken by Daniel Goleman suggests that emotional intelligence, one’s emotional quotient (EQ), which includes empathy as a central component, may sometimes be more important than one’s intelligence quotient (IQ). The early research conducted by Carl Rogers on the importance of empathy in building trust in psychotherapeutic as well as other interpersonal relationships, has even set the stage for development of self-report inventories designed to measure one’s empathy quotient (EQ)."

Free from the financial and personal insecurity of the 20s and not yet approaching the midlife challenges of the 40s and 50s, the 30s are said to be the best of both freedom, and responsibility. But what does science say about being a 30-something? Research presents a mixed picture of a decade of life marked by increasing stability as well as significant change. Some studies suggest that 35 is the “best age” and that real happiness begins at age 33. People older than 100 years in overwhelming numbers regard their 30s as being the best decade of their lives. Still, the 30s have also been found to be a time of existential crises, ticking biological clocks, and heightened job dissatisfaction. Here’s what science has to say about the ups and downs of being a 30-something: The beginning and end of the decade may be marked by significant life changes. If you’re going to make a major career change, move to a new city, run a marathon, or have an affair, you’re most likely to do it when you’re about to turn 30. Those entering or leaving their 30s are likely to conduct a sort of “life audit” to assess meaningfulness and satisfaction."

Napoleon's France 1799-1804Between 1799 and 1815 the fate of France and Europe was in the hands of Napoleon Bonaparte, the man described by Chateaubriand as the 'mightiest breath of life which ever animated human clay'. Napoleon's ultimate downfall was due to the forces that the Revolution had unleashed and Napoleon accelerated. Napoleon Bonaparte was a Corsican and also an officer of artillery - an unfashionable branch of the army. He was therefore doubly handicapped because of his unacceptable accent and military expertise. However, he did have the right connections. During the Terror, his friendship with Robespierre's brother, and his skilful use of artillery at Toulon in September 1793 helped him rise to the rank of brigadier. His cool head during the Vendémiaire revolt and his friendship with Barras carried him to the next level."

During the Vietnam War, the U. S. military used more than 19 million gallons of various herbicides for defoliation and crop destruction in the Republic of Vietnam. Veterans who served in Vietnam anytime during the period beginning Jan. 9, 1962, and ending May 7, 1975, are presumed to have been exposed to herbicides. VA established an Agent Orange Registry to study the health effects associated with exposure to herbicides such as Agent Orange. Veterans who served in Vietnam, or in other areas throughout the world where herbicide was sprayed, who are interested in participating in an Agent Orange Registry health exam should speak to the environmental health coordinator or patient care advocate at their local VA medical center. VA's War Related Illness and Injury Study Center, (WRIISC), located at the VA medical centers in Palo Alto, Calif.; Washington, D. C.; and East Orange, N. J., develops and provides post-deployment health expertise to Vietnam Veterans and their health care providers through clinical programs, research, education, and risk communication."

"text": "Home » belles-lettres, criticism, history, politics, Politics & History Nine Ways of Looking at D’Annunzio By Luciano Mangiafico (October 1, 2012) 11 Comments The Quirky Intellectual Dandy Perhaps to compensate for his not-so imposing physique, lack of good looks, and plebeian background, Gabriele D’Annunzio (1863-1938) embraced excess in everything he did. And he did many things: novelist, playwright, poet, aviator and sailor, a genuine war hero, a narcissist, a drug addict, a gifted rabble-rouser, debt-evader, and a noted womanizer. He was also ahead of his time, exhibiting so many of the behavioral traits not openly admired until our present day: selfishness, self-centeredness, sexual promiscuity, ostentatiousness, love of violence, and a narcissistic dictatorial bent. A master of self-publicity, he aimed to shock and dazzle Europeans with his politics, conventional and unconventional sexual gymnastics, heroic and nearly-impossible military feats, and his writing. His life was a contrast between sophisticated urban civility and a crude and violent behavior. He was seldom out of the limelight, shaping taste, societal mores, literature and, after Mussolini’s rise to power, proving an annoying competitor to the dictator for public attention. One of his most recent biographers, John Woodhouse, summarizes the writer’s character in one paragraph: D’Annunzio’s sole concern was self-gratification and glory: to make his existence as interesting and preferably as joyful as possible for himself, whatever the consequences for others; to create a work of art from his life and to immortalize it in words. There were, it is true, moments when nationalism or patriotism seemed important … but more often than not the greater glory of his native land served only to throw into greater relief the lustre of his personal brand of glory. Harry Clément Ulrich Kessler, an Anglo-German diplomat, writer, bon vivant, and patron of modern art, has also left us in his diaries an indelible view of D’Annunzio. In 1911, Kessler attended in Paris the performance of D’Annunzio’s five act musical play Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien (music by Claude Debussy)."

India has released the results of its 2011 Census, conducted from Feb. 9-28, 2011, with a revisional round on March 1-5. The provisional population totals were released on March 31, less than a month after the census was conducted. National Totals The preliminary census count with a “census date” of March 1, 2011, was 1,210,193,422—about 130 million less than the current population of China. 1 The census total was close to what was expected based on estimates by the Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India and other organizations. In 1950, shortly after India gained independence, India’s population was 68 percent that of China. Now it is 90 percent. China’s population currently increases by a little less than 7 million per year while India’s grows by about 18 million.

Watson, a historian who has researched the sexual indiscretions of U. S. Presidents, at least seven of them—ranging from Thomas Jefferson to Bill Clinton—have had affairs both before and during their terms of office. But John F. Kennedy, whose dalliances with scores of women, including movie goddess Marilyn Monroe, have become the stuff of legend. Kennedy biographer Robert Dallek describes JFK as a \"\"compulsive womanizer\"\" whose insatiable urge for sexual conquests was fueled by a complex array of personal traumas—his own father's conspicuous adultery, a difficult relationship with his mother, anxiety about his own health problems and his brush with death during World War II, and the deaths at a young age of his siblings Joe Jr. and Kathleen. \"\" Kennedy himself, who could not explain his need for sex with so many women, probably rationalized his behavior as a diversion comparable with what British aristocrats did, or with the golf, sailing and fishing presidents traditionally used to ease tensions,\"\" Dallek wrote. \"\" Jack liked girls,\"\" his friend, Florida Sen. George Smathers, told Dallek. \"\"... He was a great chaser. \"\" Kennedy's amorous proclivities began long before he reached the Oval Office. According to Kennedy biographers Michael Meagher and Larry D. Gragg, the future president was sexually promiscuous dating back to his high school days at Choate, and during World War II, had an affair with Inga Arvad, a woman that the FBI had under surveillance because they believed she might be a German spy. As a still-single Massachusetts Congressman in the 1940s and early 1950s, he indulged himself with what his friend, New Jersey Congressman Frank Thompson, Jr., called a \"\"smorgasbord of women.\"\" According to biographers Meagher and Gragg, Kennedy's lovers were prominent, accomplished women, as well as strippers, airline stewardesses, and secretaries."

"text": "The Subjection of Women. John Stuart Mill (1869)CHAPTER 4There remains a question, not of less importance than those already discussed, and which will be asked the most importunately by those opponents whose conviction is somewhat shaken on the main point. What good are we to expect from the changes proposed in our customs and institutions? Would mankind be at all better off if women were free? If not, why disturb their minds, and attempt to make a social revolution in the name of an abstract right? It is hardly to be expected that this question will be asked in respect to the change proposed in the condition of women in marriage. The sufferings, immoralities, evils of all sorts, produced in innumerable cases by the subjection of individual women to individual men, are far too terrible to be overlooked. Unthinking or uncandid persons, counting those cases alone which are extreme, or which attain publicity, may say that the evils are exceptional; but no one can be blind to their existence, nor, in many cases, to their intensity. And it is perfectly obvious that the abuse of the power cannot be very much checked while the power remains. It is a power given, or offered, not to good men, or to decently respectable men, but to all men; the most brutal, and the most criminal."

This week, the company rolled out a premium, paid version called “Tinder Plus,” which lets users manually change their locations and undo “swipes” that they regret. Tinder Plus isn’t cheap: It runs about $9.99 a month for most users. But for users over age 30 in the United States, and over age 28 in the U. K., the price is even steeper: from $19.99 to $22.89 a month, depending on the country. Same service, different price points, based solely on the dating industry’s longtime Achilles heel: age. “So that’s actual, literal, blatant ageism, right?” asked the blogger Marci Robin on xo Jane. “… For the ever-more-rapidly expiring life of me, I cannot think of a justifiable reason to charge people who aren’t twenty-something twice as much.” [ Read more: The myth of the ‘female-friendly’ dating app]Tinder has, in a rote and sort of tone deaf statement, explained the price discrepancy on purely economic grounds."

This is her follow up book to Why Dads Leave: Insights and Resources for When Partners Become Parents. As a co-founder of the venerable Alliance for Transforming the Lives of Children and an attachment parenting advocate, Callander addresses the very real and frequent issues of infidelity and divorce and their impact on children in her books. You can join Callander to explore this realm of marriage and parenting in her upcoming Parenting As A Hero’s Journey Virtual Retreat. The dark side of family life may be real, but, as Callander teaches, so are the many paths to healing. The Legacy of Infidelity and Divorce Infidelity—and the divorce that often follows—is a legacy passed from one generation to the next. As adults, these children of infidelity are more likely to be unfaithful to their own partner, and children of divorced parents have a higher than average divorce rate as adults. READ THIS BOOK NOWJennifer Harley Chalmers, Ph. D., Surviving an Affair, believes one of the important lessons children learn when a parent is unfaithful is thoughtlessness: “doing what you please, regardless of how it affects other people. ”Research by Judith Wallerstein, co-author of The Unexpected Legacy of Divorce, shows that experiencing parental divorce during childhood has a sleeper effect."

"text": "Aqua Tofana: slow-poisoning and husband-killing in 17th century Italy6 April 2015 / allkindsofhistory Detail from “The love potion”, by the nineteenth century Pre-Raphaelite Evelyn De Morgan. The tangled tale of Aqua Tofana is intimately connected to the “criminal magical underworlds” of the 17th century, which supplied love philtres, potions, medicines and poisons to a mostly female clientele. Early in the autumn of 1791, while he was still hard at work on the great requiem mass that would form such a large part of his legend, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart fell seriously ill. Convinced that there was no chance of recovery, hebegan to speak of death, and asserted that he was setting the Requiem for himself… “I feel definitely,” he continued, “that I will not last much longer; I am sure that I have been poisoned. I cannot rid myself of this idea… Someone has given me acqua tofana and calculated the precise time of my death. Scholars have wrangled now for two full centuries over the circumstances of the great composer’s passing. A handful have concluded that he really was murdered. Most support rival diagnoses of syphilis, rheumatic fever or even the deadly effects of eating undercooked pork chops. Whatever the truth, though, and however he died, Mozart was certainly convinced that there existed a rare poison, one that was colourless, tasteless, odourless, beyond detection – and also so flexibly murderous that a carefully-calculated dose could guarantee a victim’s death a week, a month or even a year after it had been administered. Nor was the composer alone in this belief."

"text": "\"A thrift savings plan (TSP) is a retirement savings plan for federal employees. If you happen to work for Uncle Sam, contributions you make will not be taxed until the money is withdrawn. At the time of withdrawal, you will be required to pay federal income taxes on the account. If you choose to withdraw before you are eligible to retire, you might also be subject to an IRS tax penalty of 10 percent. In some cases, you can avoid the penalty. Early Withdrawals Federal employees can withdraw TSP funds at any time. However, withdrawing funds before age 59 1/2 can result in the 10 percent IRS penalty on funds in addition to the federal income taxes. If you are still employed after reaching age 59 1/2, you are entitled to a one-time withdrawal of any or all of your funds without penalty. If you retire at 59 1/2, you are eligible to withdraw from the account at any time.

TSP Loan Program The TSP loan program gives you access to the money that you have contributed to your TSP account and the earnings on that money. You must be in a pay status to obtain a loan, because your regular loan payments will be made through payroll deductions. You cannot borrow any agency contributions in your account or any earnings attributable to those contributions. There are two types of loans-a general purpose loan (repayment period 1-5 years) and a loan for the purchase of your primary residence (repayment period 1-15 years). The interest rate you pay for the life of the loan is the latest available interest rate for the G Fund at the time your application is processed. The interest you pay on the loan will go into your TSP account, along with repayments of the loan principal. You must pay a one-time fee of $50, which covers the cost of processing and servicing the loan. The fee is deducted from the proceeds of the loan.

The TSP offers Federal employees the same type of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their employees under \"\"401 (k)\"\" plans. The National Defense Authorization Act extended participation in the TSP to members of the uniformed services, including the Ready Reserve. If you receive a TSP withdrawal payment before you reach age 59½, in addition to the regular income tax, you may have to pay an early withdrawal penalty tax equal to 10% of any portion of the payment not transferred or rolled over. However, if you are age 55 or older in the year you separate or retire, the 10% early withdrawal penalty tax does not apply. See resources for additional tax information.

Natasha Corrett's new book has a range of four cleanses with recipes to rebalance your body. Natasha Corrett and her cleansing food Photo: Lisa Linder By Victoria Lambert7:05AM GMT 29 Dec 2014Five years ago, Natasha Corrett was overtired, overworked and unhappy with her weight. And when her back seized up in a stress-related spasm the day before her 26th birthday, she sought acupuncture treatment in a desperate effort to ‘‘un-knot’’ her in time for her party. What the gourmet cook didn’t expect was advice on food which would revolutionise her diet, lose two and a half stone “without noticing” – and find relief from the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome that had dogged her for years. It was while she was having the needles inserted that the therapist told her about the benefits of an alkaline diet: one which avoids “acid forming foods” such as dairy, meat, sugar and coffee and replaces them with plant foods and wholegrains. Now 31, Natasha is in radiant health and her series of best selling Honestly Healthy cook books, based on the principles of alkaline eating, have a big celebrity following – one fan is Victoria Beckham. The latest book, Honestly Healthy Cleanse, is launched this week and contains 100 meticulously tested new recipes that combine her alkaline diet principles with four “cleansing plans” to kick start a new eating regime. Each detox is tailored to individual needs: the six-day slimdown cleanse, for example, suggests a menu of raw salads with soups and smoothies, to inspire those New Year weight loss plans; while for those in search of something more ambitious, the 30-day lifechanging cleanse is, she promises, a stepping stone to a new, healthier life. ‘’Once you’ve achieved the first 30 days, there will be no turning back,’’ shepromises, ‘’you will make definite lifestyle changes for the better as you’ll feel so energised and full of life."

( If you haven’t been contributing to the TSP then go read this post and get hot.) Maybe you’re even maxing out your contributions. But if you’re like me, you’ve been so focused on the “saving” and “investing” parts of your financial planning that you haven’t really thought about the eventual “after the military” and “withdrawal” parts. Now that the long-awaited “Roth TSP” option is finally coming in 2012, the withdrawal phase of TSP investing is going to get a lot more interesting. Let’s look at today’s options and consider how they could affect your savings & investing plans. And, yes, believe it or not, a future post will dig into the details of the Roth TSP. I was a little surprised to discover these TSP statistics : half of the active-duty military still aren’t using the program! As of February 2011, only 49.5% of active-duty service members participated in the TSP. Reserve participation was even more miserable: only 15.4 percent."

"text": "TSP and Social Security June 5, 2014 / by Dianna Tafazoli Federal employees that are a part of the Federal Employees Retirement System ( FERS ) are eligible for both Social Security and for Thrift Savings Plan ( TSP) employer matching – therefor these employees have quite a number of things to think about as they prepare for retirement. Preparing for retirement doesn’t happen when you turn 55, 65 or beyond, but as early in one’s work career as possible and it should continue throughout the employee’s career and then into retirement. FERS employees have three components to their retirement system with the the most important part, TSP, requiring a lot of input from the employee. The basic pension requires no input from the employee, that is the piece of the retirement benefits profile that is legislated. The Social Security portion of FERS also requires no input from the employee other than being in a pay status so that the appropriate deduction can be made from salary. However, becoming eligible to receive the Social Security benefit at age 62 must be carefully analyzed. Whether your Social Security is a part of your retirement system or not, evaluate your situation carefully to make sure you are maximizing your benefits in retirement to fit your needs. While Social Security benefits might look like a good approach to increasing the amount of income you are working with, you might find out in the long-term that you have deprived yourself of a considerable amount of money by collecting your Social Security too soon. The longer you wait to collect your Social Security the greater the financial benefit will be. Normal retirement age is 66 if you are born between 1943 and 1954 with age eligibility gradually increasing for each year thereafter."

"text": "Thrift Savings Plan Loan & Withdrawal Options16 Nov2015by: Harris Federal Law Firm Swamped with Medical Expenses? Consider Your Thrift Savings Plan In-Service Loan & Withdrawal Options The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a retirement benefit for federal workers, which is comparable to the private sector’s 401 (k), except with significantly lower annual costs. Although the TSP is primarily meant for financial contributions to grow untouched until retirement, there are some in-service loan and withdrawal options. These options may be especially pertinent to federal employees who are suffering from a disability and/or injury, and are overwhelmed with the resulting medical expenses. In-Service Loans: Paying Interest to Yourself Paying an excessive interest rate to a bank or credit card company can be intimidating, which is one of the key advantages for federal workers to take out loans through their TSP – the accruing interest is paid back into your TSP account. How it Works The TSP offers two types of loans: a residential loan (may only be used for the construction or purchase of a primary residence), and a general purpose loan, which can be used for anything. A federal employee must be on pay status to receive a TSP loan, and have a minimum of $1,000 in personal contributions (agency contributions cannot be borrowed) to apply for a loan. The maximum loan amount is $50,000; however, the maximum an employee can borrow depends on the individual’s TSP contributions and if they have any other outstanding TSP loans. The TSP loan application is relatively straightforward. You can apply online through the “My Account” section on the TSP website or you can print and fill out a Form TSP-20and mail the completed application to the address listed on the form."

"text": "Retirement Benefits Get it delivered right to your inbox!The TSP Age-Based Withdrawal Published: July 16, 2015 More in: Retirement Benefits Late-career employees who find themselves in need of a lump-sum of money—to pay off a mortgage, buy an investment property, clear off debts for a child’s education, renovate a disabled parent’s home or for a variety of other reasons arising at that age—may want to investigate a little-known and even less-used feature of the Thrift Savings Plan, the age-based withdrawal. TSP’s much more popular loan program can be used for many of the same purposes, but in the loan program, the money must be paid back through payroll withholding. With an in-service withdrawal, the money is not paid back. The key feature of the age-based withdrawal is that it is allowed only for those age 59 1/2 and older. You may make only one age-based withdrawal, and it can be for all or part of your account balance. Taking such a withdrawal does not affect your eligibility for a later TSP loan or a financial hardship in-service withdrawal. However, it does affect your withdrawal options after you separate. If you choose one, you will not be allowed to make a partial post-separation withdrawal, which will become available under the TSP’s new computer system when it is launched. Age-based withdrawals based on “traditional” investments are subject to income tax in the year they are received, although you can postpone taxation by having it transferred directly to an individual retirement account or other “qualified” retirement savings plan. A transfer might be desirable for those who want to move some of the money out of the TSP and into an investment vehicle—such as a mutual fund—not available through that program."

Always consult with your doctor if you’ve experienced a sunburn. Whether you were on your first day of vacation in the sun or working in the garden a bit longer than planned, sunburn is always unexpected. If you’re like our family, you save sunscreen for those times when you know you’ll be exposed to the sun more than usual. In addition to protecting your skin from sun damage, most are filled with chemicals that have not yet been fully tested for safety. Sunscreen also prevents your body from absorbing those imp0rtant B vitamins. If you need help finding a safe sunscreen, checking out the EWG sunscreen database to choose suncare with the least amount of chemicals.

"text": "\"Home TSP Withdrawals In-Service Withdrawals to the Thrift Savings Plan In-Service Withdrawals to the Thrift Savings Plan The Thrift Savings Plan is a long-term retirement savings plan that provides special tax advantages. Limitations on in-service withdrawals help ensure that retirement savings will be used for their intended purpose. Therefore, TSP participants who are still employed by the federal government, including those employees in nonpay status, are limited to the following two types of in-service withdrawals: Age-based in-service withdrawals for participants who are 59½ or older. Financial hardship in-service withdrawals for participants who can certify that they have a financial hardship. When you make an in-service withdrawal, you cannot return or repay the money you remove from your account, so you permanently deplete your retirement savings and future earnings on the amount withdrawn. If you are in pay status, before making an in-service withdrawal, you should evaluate your options to see if a TSP loan would be more beneficial. ( See Thrift Savings Plan Loan Program ) If you have an outstanding TSP loan, making an in-service withdrawal will not eliminate the requirement to make loan payments. Age-based withdrawals While you are employed by the federal government, you can make a one-time-only withdrawal of all or any portion of your vested account balance if you are 59½ or older. Your request must be for at least $1,000 or for your entire vested account balance (even, if your balance is less than $1,000). If you make an age-based withdrawal from your account, you will not be eligible for a partial withdrawal from that account after you separate from service."

"text": "Bill Exempting Some Feds From TSP Withdrawal Penalty Becomes Law John Grobe June 29, 2015 Retirement Comments (26)In an earlier blog by Ian Smith, it was reported that legislation ( H. R. 2146) allowing Special Category Employees to take distributions from the Thrift Savings Plan without penalty if they separate from service in the year in which they turn 50, or later, had passed both Houses of Congress. It was added to the “Bipartisan Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015.”The Act was signed into law today. Here’s what H. R. 2146 means for Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs), Firefighters (FFs), Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBPOs) and Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs): Beginning with TSP withdrawals made after 12/31/2015, LEOs/FFs/CBPOs/ATCs will be able to withdraw funds from the TSP in the amount of their choosing as long as they separated from federal service during the year in which they attained the age of 50. This is similar to the current “age 55 rule,” in that your funds must remain at the TSP until age 59 ½ for you to take advantage of this new law. If a LEO/FF/CBPO/ATC retires at age 50 and transfers their TSP funds to another custodian, they will lose the benefit of this legislation. Under the “age 55 rule” one has to work into their 55th year of birth and retire to benefit from the rule. Under this new law, a LEO/FF/CBPO/ATC is eligible for the benefit when they retire in their 50th year or later. The law only specifically mentions these four categories of employees. Other FERS participants and other Special-Category employees do not qualify under the Act. Remember, under this Act, your funds MUST stay at the TSP for you to take advantage of the new law."

Since so many Special Provisions (ATC, LEO and FF) federal employees retire before age 62, it's important to understand who gets the Supplement and how it is calculated. The Supplement also has a few unique rules for Special Provisions FERS employees - and we'll talk about those shortly. The FERS Supplement is also called the Special Retirement Supplement or SRS. In the federal retirement planning classes I teach, we call it the FERS Supplement or just the Supplement. It is designed to help bridge the money gap for certain FERS who retire before age 62. It will supplement your missing Social Security income until you reach age 62. But not all FERS are eligible to receive the Supplement. Rules of Eligibility for FERS Supplement To get the Supplement, you must meet two qualifications... You must be a FERS employee You must retire on a full immediate retirement Let's look at these qualifications more closely... Forgive me if the first requirement sounds too obvious - but people really do ask. Yes, the FERS Supplement is only for FERS."

But there’s more to the FERS retirement system than these basic components, and we’ve gathered 6 little-known FERS retirement facts to spark your interest and help you maximize your retirement.1. Collecting Social Security and Working Full Time Some FERS employees don’t realize that they can work full time, contribute to the TSP, and collect Social Security without a reduction once they reach age 66. However, those who don’t need the money may want to wait until age 70 ½ in exchange for a bigger check. Other strategies such as file and suspend may come into play as well, but it’s good to keep in mind that Social Security isn’t just for retirees.2. The FERS Annuity Supplement Nowadays, “old” is a relative word. 50 years old was old once upon a time. But today, if someone retires before age 65, we assume they’ve either come into money, sold their business for a big chunk of change, or had an epiphany and moved to an isolated Caribbean island to live in a shack on the beach selling conches and beautifully carved coconuts. However, many FERS employees reach minimum retirement age (MRA) well before age 60, and may wish to hang up the lunch box and tend the garden full-time instead. So what can you do until you qualify for Social Security, one of the legs of your three-legged stool of FERS retirement?"

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."

By the time he was 23, Mc Naull had graduated from college, married and gone to work for his local police force in Virginia. But Mc Naull, now 36, still bristles at the memory of something he wasn't allowed to do at 23: go down to the airport counter and rent a car. \"\" I'd been involved in police pursuits at more than 100 mph,\"\" he says, \"\"and yet they still wouldn't rent me a car. \"\" To many young people, rental-car restrictions are more than an annoyance. They're also a confusing contradiction, in terms of what society expects of them. After all, states trust people to drive at a much younger age: Most states issue driver's licenses to persons as young as 16 years old. Yet nearly a decade must pass before the same persons can earn the trust of Hertz or Avis."

Who’s still interested?1899: The mayor of Troy, New York, writes a letter granting permission to operate a horseless carriage up to 6 mph on city streets. Chicago also requires certification to operate a steamer.1900: Anne Rainsford French Bush obtains a steam engineer’s license, entitling herself to operate a “four-wheeled vehicle powered by steam or gas,” thereby becoming the first licensed woman driver. Life Magazine reported 52 years later that she never had a dent.1903: New York, the first state to require the registration of motor vehicles (1901), now mandates an operator’s certificate, costing $1, which must be carried when driving. A total of 2382 chauffeurs are licensed. Massachusetts and Missouri also require nominal licenses.1904: The New York fee jumps to $2. Licensed chauffeurs must wear an oval badge when driving. Badges become common nationwide (and are today highly collectible).1907: “Little attention has yet been paid to the right of any man to drive a car,” opines the New York Times. “ Something akin to the French system, which is the ideal plan of licensing drivers, furnishing them with official cards with the penalty of revoking the license in addition to a jail sentence for a second or third serious offense, must be enacted in this country. ”1909: Pennsylvania sets the age restriction at 18 years for obtaining a license.1910: The Callan Law requires annual registrations in New York state."

"text": "\"Average miles driven per year by state July 21, 2016 By Michelle Megna What is the average number of miles driven per year? The short answer is: 13,476, according to the U. S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Put another way, the average driver racks up over 1,000 miles each month, or almost the equivalent of two roundtrips from New York City to Los Angeles. But to understand driving habits nationwide, you need to look at who is driving how much and where. FHWA and other federal research data underscore the following trends: Most states are seeing motorists drive more miles: Nearly 70 percent of states recorded an increase in vehicle miles traveled. Oregon is tops for the highest increase (16 percent) over the three-year period from 2011 to 2014. Men drive more miles than women: The average male driver logs 16,550 miles a year – 63 percent more than the average for women, 10,142. Fewer teens are getting licenses: The number of teens with drivers’ licenses has dipped significantly since the 1980s – from 46 percent to 24 percent – for drivers aged 16. Senior drivers are staying on the road longer: Motorists over age 65 are driving more miles and keeping their licenses longer, and drivers over 85 comprise the fastest growing age group -- and the trend is projected to continue. Miles per capita by state show motorists driving more The majority of states, nearly 70 percent, saw an increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita from 2011 to 2014, according to FHWA data."

"text": "Boat License Requirements: Learn How to Apply for Your Boat License By: Cara Hopkins June 13, 2012Share Tweet Pin It Email Print Summer is here and you’re ready to get in the water, but first, you need to register your boat and check your state’s boat license requirements. Up until recently, boating has been far less regulated than driving a car, and only a small handful of states currently require an official license to operate a waterbound vessel; however, nearly every state requires some type of boating safety course, particularly for teen operators. For example, Illinois, Iowa, and Kentucky all require anyone between the ages of 12 and 17 who wants to operate a motorboat without direct adult supervision to complete a mandatory safety course. Several states have passed legislation mandating that people born after a certain date must receive boating certification, meaning that the requirement will eventually apply to all operators (for example, Maryland, where you must have a certificate of boating safety education if you were born after June 30, 1972). Make sure to double-check your state’s rules before hitting the waves, and be safe out there!States that Require a Boating License The following states require a boating license: Alabama: If you were at least 40 by April 28, 1994, you can skip the licensing requirement. Delaware: The state requires a license if you were born after January 1, 1978. Georgia: Only operators between 12 and 15 years old are required to have a license. Mississippi: If you were born after June 29, 1980, you must have a license. States that Don't Require a Boating License The following states don't require a boating license: Alaska Arizona Arkansas: Those born after December 31, 1985 must complete a safety course. California Colorado: 14- and 15-year-olds must pass a safety course."

"text": "\"National Victoria Jail time doubled for parents of children left alone in cars or homes By Deborah Gough Updated 6 August 2014 — 2:53pm first published at 9:24am Normal text size Larger text size Very large text size Your 15 year old is set for a shock: by law they are required to have parental supervision until their next birthday. On Wednesday, a spokeswoman for Children and Early Childhood Development Minister, Wendy Lovell, confirmed the age at which a child could be ''unattended'' was 16 years. That is not to say that parents who leave their teenagers unattended while they pop to the shops will be facing new penalties of six years jail or $3690 fine, the spokeswoman said. Police and the Department of Human Services have discretion in these matters but if the worst happens then parents could be charged. \"\" Parents need to use their judgement, if a child is 12 or 13 and is mature enough to be left with younger brothers or sisters - and it was short term - that would be OK, but it wouldn't be OK if that child had an intellectual disability for instance,'' she said. Children aged under 16 babysitting their younger siblings cannot be charged if something dangerous occurred while a younger child was in their care, but parents could be charged, the spokeswoman said. In NSW it is a different story. It provides guidelines to parents and says a child aged 10-12 years can be left for up to 12 hours but not between 10pm and 6am. They must have a back-up adult available and can look after one or two other smaller children. Children aged 8-9 can be left for up to two hours as long as they are in safe circumstances and are capable of remaining so."

"text": "\"Answer by Bugsbunnyfan Confidence votes 34Mom of Kyler D says.... The legal age of majority and to be a considered an adult for anything other than a criminal offence is 18 in Missouri. Missouri Revised Statutes, Chapter 210, Child Protection and Reformation, Section 210.110, as used in this section; (4) �Child�, any person, regardless of physical or mental condition, under eighteen years of age. If you commit a crime at 17 you can be prosecuted as an adult. Missouri Revised Statutes, Chapter 211, Juvenile Courts, Section 211.021, does not state emancipation anywhere in it but states that, for the purpose of that section only, juvenile courts, that the term: � (1) \"\"Adult\"\" means a person seventeen years of age or older; (2) \"\"Child\"\" means a person under seventeen years of age. � (4) \"\"Legal custody\"\" means the right to the care, custody and control of a child and the duty to provide food, clothing, shelter, ordinary medical care, education, treatment and discipline of a child. Legal custody may be taken from a parent only by court action and if the legal custody is taken from a parent without termination of parental rights, the parent's duty to provide support continues even though the person having legal custody may not provide the necessities of daily living. This law was put in place to put more children in jail for committing crimes and less in juvenile hall for running away and instead the kids are using it as a law to go live where they want. The same statute they are using to claim it is 17 also says it does not mean that the parent loses control or custody of the child and that you have to go to court to remove that right. Because it is not a crime to run away at 17 the police can't take you to jail for it and juvenile jail won't take you because you are too old. The reason the police claim they can't do anything is due to worry over being sued in the event they take you to an adult jail at 17 and an adult in the jail hurts you."

"text": "Flag What is the legal age to leave children in the car? Answer by Cyphr Wlf Confidence votes 81The fourteen states that have laws that prohibit leaving children unattended in an automobile include California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Washington. Most states have clauses in those laws specializing that the child must be in obvious danger or (in the case of Washington) depend on what type of establishment you are going into. Penalties for leaving children alone range from noncriminal traffic infractions to second-degree manslaughter charges if the child dies as a result from being left alone in the car. Additionally, there is a wide age range of children that pertain to these laws. Please note that even if a state does not have a specific law prohibiting adults from leaving children unattended, state and local prosecutors have the discretion to criminally charge adults under existing child endangerment laws if there is a significant threat to the child. The reasoning behind most of these laws is that, children, who have smaller bodies, react faster to adverse conditions. Therefore, if a car is sweltering and they are unable to open the doors, then they are too young to save themselves. Have your kid open the car door by themselves and you can leave them in the car while you shop.5 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No"

All passengers in the front must wear a seat belt. All passengers in the back under 18 years old must wear a seat belt. Violators can be fined up to $25. Physical handicaps sometimes make it impossible to safely wear a seat belt."

An upside to infants on planes: airlines allow children 2 and under to sit on the lap of an adult, saving the cost of an additional seat. However, the negatives can evolve in that exact situation, as an infant would be safer strapped into an infant carrier attached to his or her own seat (and it frees up mom or dad to enjoy an on-flight beverage or meal, and to easily get up to use the restroom). The wiggle room is highly recommended on long flights, especially overseas. While infants are not restricted from flights, the enclosed flight is often considered a germ haven. ( Think of all the times you've come down with a cold after traveling on a long flight beside a person sneezing or coughing.) Infants are more susceptible to illnesses, especially if they have not received their vaccinations. Some suggest waiting until a child is at least 4 to 6 months before attempting air travel. One problem infants may have is cabin pressure causing pain in their ears."

I’m writing this on Sunday, June 1. The temperature reached almost 90 degrees today, which makes me think about two recent instances where I saw parents leaving children in cars. The first was at a busy gas station on Washtenaw Avenue in Ann Arbor recently when I was meeting a client at our Ann Arbor law office. I saw a father leave his toddler (who was strapped into a car seat) alone in the car at the gas pump for 15 to 20 minutes while the father went into the station. A few days later, at a busy gas station on Northwestern Highway close to our main Michigan Auto Law law offices in Farmington Hills, I saw a mother leave her two car-seated children in her SUV at the gas pump for about 15 minutes while she went into the station. Neither parent chose to leave their cell phones in the car. I think something is wrong here. For the record: I never, ever leave my kids alone in the car … or anywhere."

We put the same baby, in the same car seat, wearing the same few thin layers of clothes underneath – but changed which jacket/bunting she was wearing. In all four winter outfits we tightened the straps all the way ( as shown here ) – so there was only one finger’s worth of room at her collarbone, and you couldn’t pinch any slack at the collarbone. With 2 of the 4 winter outfits, her straps were just as snug with or without the outerwear. But with the other 2 we were deceived – as we had to loosen the straps by 4 inches to fit the bunting/snowsuit!What’s 4 inches to your child in a crash? A whole lot, says Miriam Manary of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) – as 4 inches significantly increases the risk of injury, and particularly head injury.

At least 105 mothers and fathers faced criminal investigations for leaving their offspring unsupervised in the final three months of last year, research by the Press Association has revealed. Cases involved children aged from just a few weeks to 14 years old. The law does not specify an age at which parents can leave children alone, but those who do can be arrested and prosecuted for cruelty and neglect if it places them at risk. Figures provided by police forces in England and Wales following Freedom of Information (Fo I) requests showed that 30 of those arrested were released without further action, 24 accepted a police caution and 19 were charged. In other cases, investigations were ongoing or details of how suspects were dealt with were not available. The issue of whether, at what age and for how long parents should leave children alone for has repeatedly sparked controversy. High-profile cases range from parents arrested after leaving children for a few minutes to a mother who was given a suspended sentence after she left her children at home while she flew to Australia for several weeks. Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming, who has called on the Government to provide clarity over the issue, said it was difficult to comment on whether police actions covered by the Fo I responses were reasonable without knowing the circumstances of individual cases but described the findings as \"\"important research\"\". \"\" Parents often get confused by what is happening,\"\" he said. \"\""

Now all covnertible seats rear face to at elast 30lbs and we know that a 1 year old really isn't any safer forward facing than a 6 month old. Those muscles everyone talks about needing to develop? They are NOT fully developed until about 2 years old. Turning kids forward at 20lbs/1year is an outdated practice that could cost you your child's life! 1)A forward-facing child under 2 years old is 5 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured in a crash than a rear-facing child of the same age. 2)A child's vertabrae do not fully fuse until 3-6 years old, before then, she is at great risk for internal decapitation. The spinal column can stretch up to 2 inches in a crash BUT the spinal cord can only stretch up to 1/4 inch before it snaps and baby is gone."

You need to be absolutely certain that the seat has never been in a crash, and that there is no wear and tear. You'll also need the instruction manual, so you can understand how to fit and use the seat."

No. She attracts a lot of male attention, and it would be just too easy. I think you have to assume that any child could attract a predator at almost any age.

A booster seat is usually used for kids over age 4 and does not always have a five point harness and the purpose is to lift the child UP so the seat belt fits properply. If you son is only 15 months old and already 33 pounds then you need to look for a child car seat that can keep him safe for quite a while---there are some that can carry him safely up to 60-80 pounds. Go here for some good info: http://www.kyledavidmiller.org/pages/421... Bottom line is that your child is too young to be in anything but a harness right now.bookmom · 10 years ago1 0 Comment At 15 months, absolutely not! Forward facing harnessed seats are outgrown when a child reaches the weight limit, or more commonly when the child's shoulders are above the top harness slots. If the child is 4 years AND 40lbs, then he may move to a booster with vehicle lap shoulder belt seatbelt. If not, then the child needs a larger FF harnessed seat. There are many seats that harness to 55-80lbs. Some are the Britax Marathon, Decathalon, Boulevard, Frontier and Regent; the Sunshine Kids Radian; the Evenflo Triumph ADVANCE; the Graco Nautilus and the Cosco/Safety First Apex. The Alpha Omega 3-in-1 seats only harness to 40lbs and most 40lb weight limit seats are outgrown before a child is mature enough for a booster seat."

For kids, it's especially important to keep them in the back seat for as long as possible. Many states have enacted laws that specify when a child can sit in the front seat, based on height, weight or age. Even if your state hasn't done so, playing it conservatively when it comes to car safety will help keep your child safe. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Typical Regulations States that use height as a requirement for sitting in the front seat most often specify 4 feet, 9 inches, as the minimum suggested front-seat height. No child under the age of 13 should sit in the front seat, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some states don't specifically list age, height or weight requirements for sitting in the front seat, but they do specify that children should reach 4 feet, 9 inches, before using an adult seat belt. Reasons for Restrictions A child's risk of injury in an accident drops 33 percent when he rides in the back seat rather than the front, according to the California Highway Patrol. Air bags -- designed to protect front-seat occupants -- can cause serious injury themselves if they inflate. For children below the height requirement, the inflating airbag can hit them in the face, chest, neck or head at speeds of between 90 to 210 miles per hour, the Auto Safety Expert website reports, causing potentially fatal trauma, including decapitation."

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. Keeping Kids Safe Car accidents are the leading cause of death for children, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Using a booster seat or another appropriate safety seat can protect children in a crash, reducing the risk of injury or death."

Charges against a dad who left his 2-year-old behind at Costco remind parents that it’s not worth the risk. By Wendy Gillis Crime Reporter Wed., Jan. 29, 2014A tap on the window would not rouse the tiny child, who lay alone inside the vehicle while her father was somewhere inside Markham’s sprawling Costco. By the time police and Emergency Services — summoned by a concerned citizen’s 911 call — retrieved the 2-year-old girl around 7 p.m. Tuesday, she had been inside the frigid car for an estimated 40 minutes as temperatures outside hung around -12 C. York Regional Police have charged the unnamed father, a 39-year-old Toronto man, with child abandonment, a charge that could send him to jail for as long as five years. When it comes to leaving children in cars, it would appear there’s little tolerance in the eyes of the law. “Here’s our official line, from police and officers in general: Never leave your child unattended,” said York police Const. Andy Pattenden. “ Whether it’s in a car, in a house, in a street, it doesn’t matter. ”But is it as simple as that — does a parent transform into a criminal the moment he or she dashes to an ATM, leaving a sleeping 4-year-old in the car?"

"text": "Rental Car Age Requirements & Restrictions Regardless of where you are looking to travel, rental car age requirements and restrictions may affect the cost of your vehicle reservation. This is especially true for those looking to rent a car under 25 because many rental suppliers will set strict rental car age limits or charge an additional daily fee known as a young driver surcharge. These age limits will vary depending on where and who you plan to rent your car with, so it's best to keep yourself informed and in control of all your local car rental fees. How Old Do you Have to be to Rent a Car in Europe In most countries, drivers as young as 18 will be able to book a rental car (see chart below). Although rental suppliers are willing to rent vehicles to young adults, this will likely come with additional rental fees and certain restrictions on rental fleets available. With over 60 years of industry experience, Auto Europe has been booking rental cars for travelers of all ages. Find detailed information on what to expect in your rental experience if you are under the age of 25. Car Rentals for 18 Year Olds Car Rentals Under 21 Years Old Car Rentals Under 25 Years Old A less common rental car age requirement is a maximum age limit that will sometimes prevent older senior drivers from renting a car. These limits typically affect drivers 75 and older, but individual rental suppliers can set these rental car age requirements and restrictions at their own discretion. The good news for senior citizens is that these rules are uncommon in most European countries, but it's still always best to be aware of potential age limits that can affect your trip abroad!Rental Car Age Requirement Facts Rental car age requirements are determined independently."

"text": "Travel It's the limit being refused a hire car Be warned, many companies won't rent to over-70s Margaret Hughes Sat 11 Jun 2005 13.04 EDT9This summer many motorists older than 70 travelling both abroad and in the UK are in for a shock - they may be refused a rental car. Most hire car companies won't rent to the over-70s, with some setting an even lower age limit. This is regardless of whether the driver has decades of experience, a clean record, insurance cover for their own four wheels, a full no claims bonus and good health. So if you are planning to hire a car when you go on holiday, you could be in for a nasty shock when you discover that you're deemed to be too old to drive. The good news is that there are a few car rental companies that don't impose an age limit. Many car rental outlets are operated as franchises. Even if the main company has no age limit, whether or not the franchisee imposes age restrictions will depend on the deal they've made with their own insurers and the restrictions that they may impose. There are three particular countries - Cyprus, Ireland and Malta - where, whatever the car rental company's own corporate policy, older drivers can find themselves rejected as the local insurers have arbitrary age limits. One major car rental company that doesn't impose age limits is Avis-Rent-A-Car, which has a worldwide network of outlets. It took its deal a stage further earlier this year when it teamed up with Help the Aged to offer customers who book through the charity a 10% discount in the UK, Europe, the US and Canada."

Otherwise, none of the major agencies will rent to anyone under 21 except for U. S. military personnel or others renting on official government business. Of the smaller agencies, Rent-A-Wreck allows 18-year-olds at some locations, Fox rents to 19-year-olds, and Ace offers that it may be possible depending on the location, and local agencies may also be willing to offer you a car. \"\" Additional drivers\"\" are not exempt from minimum age requirements, and these will also vary by all the listed factors.

Not only can travelers encounter these limits by country, they also can vary from company to company. Renters in the U. S. face no maximum age restrictions. First, the overseas picture.

Review by mrkstvns in Hotels & Travel in Hotels & Travel April, 15 2011Pros: Rents to young drivers Cons: Very expensive, requires membership, impractical for travelers, more... Zip Car is a very different kind of car rental business. In fact, the company doesn't even use the word \"\"rent\"\" to refer to itself --- it calls its rentals \"\"car sharing\"\". Its an interesting concept, and when you examine the details of how Zip Car works, you can't help but see some merit in the myriad benefits that their marketing people hype. Unfortunately, when you dig deeper and actually start comparing apples to apples, you find that the hype really is just that....hype. The reality is that Zip Car's \"\"car sharing\"\" program is a painfully expensive alternative to mainstream car rental companies that is complicated and impractical for travelers and locals alike. In this review, I'll explain a little bit about how the Zip Car business model works, I'll then point out some of the \"\"GOTCHA!\"\" aspects of renting from Zip Car, and I'll show you a far more realistic and probable cost comparison that illustrates just how painfully overpriced Zip Car really is. How Zip Car Works.... You won't ever find a Zip Car rental counter in an airport, nor a neighborhood storefront location. Instead, Zip Car has parking spaces in various locations throughout a city or near a college campus."

Also, in all cases, rental agencies say that drivers under 25 (under 23 in Ireland) may be required to pay a surcharge -- which can be quite hefty. In addition, Germany requires that drivers age 18 to 22 buy collision damage waiver (CDW) from the rental company, even if they have alternative coverage from a credit card. Seniors. Travelers of any age over the minimum can rent cars in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, or Switzerland. In several countries, however, some suppliers impose maximum age limits to rentals, generally, or to rentals of some models of cars:-- Denmark: Some rental agencies impose a maximum age of 80.-- Slovenia: Some rental agencies impose a maximum age limit of 73, and renters ages 70 to 73 may face surcharges.-- Czech Republic, Greece, Poland, and Slovakia: Some rental agencies impose a maximum age of 70.-- United Kingdom: Some rental agencies apply an extra fee for travelers age 70 or over; some rental agencies apply a maximum age limit of 69 on some car classes."

"text": "How to Make Early Retirement a Reality Jason Kay August 26, 2014 Current Events, Retirement Comments (13)The economy today is much different from that of our grandparents’ time. People are no longer retiring at the age of 65, nor are many people capable of retiring that early. The cost of living and healthcare expenses have risen, and Social Security benefits are decreasing. The average retirement age is 62, and the average number of years people spend in retirement before passing away is 18. The number of people who are financial prepared for those 18 years is far below average. Despite the total cost of a couple’s healthcare in their last 20 years being $215,000, the average savings of a 50-year-old is less than $44,000 – which equates to a total of $88,000 for retirement between a couple. This is far less than enough to cover half of the medical bills they will receive between age 65 and 85, and does not begin to account for housing, food, or any of the other necessities of a comfortable life. More than a third of Americans over the age of 65 rely completely on Social Security, without any help from other sources. Out of every hundred people who begin working at the age of 25, only four percent will have enough stored up for retirement by the time they reach 65 years old. 63 percent of these people, on the other hand, will be relying on social security, family and friends, and charity."

Well, like most things in personal finance the answer is that it depends. My wife didn’t pay one cent into Social Security for the last seven years of working, better yet, it was all legal and above board. As a state employee, she still contributed to a mandatory state retirement plan but she was exempt from paying into Social Security. Being a teacher does have some benefits : )Teachers get the summers off and don’t have to pay Social Security, at least in our state anyways. Of course they don’t get paid as well as people in the private sector but the benefits are nice. One of the things I dislike about the Social Security money coming out of my paycheck is that I’ll likely never see any of it again. When she was working she had the comfort of knowing that all the money she contributed would probably be there for her when we turn old and gray. It’s as if the personal finance fairy came up to us and asked if we wanted to stop throwing money away every month and poof, it was done."

When they do serious planning, as most do as they near the age at which they are thinking of retiring after a long career with the federal government, they may quickly total up their monthly income and decide if it is enough for a financially secure retirement. What many do not take into account is taxes. How will your federal retirement benefits be taxed? The reality is that taxes may have a significant impact on your retirement income. You do not want to fall into those that engage in “wishful thinking” more than actually planning for your retirement."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Defined benefit)navigation search A defined benefit pension plan is a type of pension plan in which an employer/sponsor promises a specified pension payment, lump-sum (or combination thereof) on retirement that is predetermined by a formula based on the employee's earnings history, tenure of service and age, rather than depending directly on individual investment returns. Traditionally, many governmental and public entities, as well as a large number of corporations, provided defined benefit plans, sometimes as a means of compensating workers in lieu of increased pay. [ 1]A defined benefit plan is 'defined' in the sense that the benefit formula is defined and known in advance. Conversely, for a \"\" defined contribution retirement saving plan\"\", the formula for computing the employer's and employee's contributions is defined and known in advance, but the benefit to be paid out is not known in advance. [ 2]In the United States, 26 U. S. C. § 414 (j) specifies a defined benefit plan to be any pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan, where a defined contribution plan is any plan with individual accounts. A traditional pension plan that defines a benefit for an employee upon that employee's retirement is a defined benefit plan. The most common type of formula used is based on the employee's terminal earnings (final salary). Under this formula, benefits are based on a percentage of average earnings during a specified number of years at the end of a worker's career. In the private sector, defined benefit plans are often funded exclusively by employer contributions. For very small companies with one owner and a handful of younger employees, the business owner generally receives a high percentage of the benefits."

"text": "Career, Human Resources, Miscellaneous FERS Annuity Supplement Eligibility and Earnings Limitations + Annuity Projection Update Dennis V. Damp August 26, 2013Many FERS annuitants that retire before age 62 are eligible for an annuity supplement that will end when they reach age 62. You may be eligible for a Special Retirement Supplement if you retire: After the Minimum Retirement Age (MRA) with 30 years of service;At age 60 with 20 years of service; or Upon involuntary or early voluntary retirement (age 50 with 20 years of service, or at any age with 25 years of service) after the U. S. Office of Personnel Management determines that your agency is undergoing a major reorganization, reduction-in-force (RIF) or transfer of function. You will not receive the Special Retirement Supplement until you reach your MRA. The FERS Supplement is often significantly less than your Social Security benefits due to the fact that the formula for the Special Supplement assumes a working life of 40 years, each year of FERS service is worth one-fortieth of the estimated Social Security benefit. There are income limitations. However, your current earnings before retirement, your annual leave lump sum payment, pensions or annuities, capital gains from investments, interest and dividends not resulting from trade or business, and a VSIP payment if offered do not count towards your income limit and will not affect your supplement payment. Your earnings will be verified through a computer match with the Social Security Administration’s earning file and your annuity supplement will be reduced $1.00 for every $2.00 by which you exceed the exempt amount of $15,120 for 2013. The earnings limit is adjusted yearly and applies to earnings received in the current year after retirement and after you reach the Minimum Retirement Age (MRA). Here is a list of earnings that apply towards the reduction: All wages from employment covered by social security. All cash pay for agricultural work, domestic work in a private home, service not in the course of your employer’s trade or business."

Employees must be careful to select affordable coverage when they retire and before making a retirement election understand what is available and how much you will have to pay month for the coverage you desire. The cost of Option B multiple coverage, if maintained in retirement, becomes very expensive and increases with age. See the example listed below under Option B coverage for details.

However, you must withdraw your entire balance (or begin receiving monthly payments from the TSP or from the TSP annuity vendor) by April 1 of the year following the year you turn 70½ (or following the year you separate, if you are already over age 70½ when you leave Federal service). Retirees often consider moving their TSP account to another service to take advantage of a more diverse investment mix. Many vendors such as Fidelity and Vanguard allow participants to purchase any mutual fund, ETF, stock or bonds for their account. Those who are contemplating leaving the TSP need to be aware of the risks and costs involved beforehand. If you are contemplating this move read the article titled The TSP Advantage — Should I stay or Should I go. TSP Considerations Menu Considerations Preserving Your Assets (The TSP Rebalancing Act)Withdrawal Options Withdrawals after retirement Age based withdrawals while still working at age 59 ½Caution Survivors Beware - The TSP Trap TSP - Ways to Safeguard Your Heirs Inheritance Use your TSP to retire mortgage free Maximize Your TSP Contributions Ways to Save and Economize in Retirement TSP Resources Request a Personal \"\"Federal Retirement Report™\"\" and Annuity Review CONSIDERATIONSMany opt to maintain their account with the TSP because of the fund's attractive earnings and very low administrative fees. The administrative fees are often half or less of what most private sector funds charge to maintain your accounts. Another significant advantage is that the G Fund has no market risk. Therefore, unlike most private sector funds, you don't have to worry about fund price fluctuations with the Government Bond Fund."

"text": "\"Updated 3/15/2018The Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) became effective January 1, 1987. All Federal civilian employees hired after this date are covered under FERS. FERS retirement eligibility is based on years of service and minimum retirement age (MRA). FERS retirement plans provide civil service retirement benefits from a combination of the Basic Benefit Plan, Social Security and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). If you leave federal service before retiring Social Security and the TSP can go with you to your next job. Both the Basic Benefit plan and Social Security require you to pay into the system each payday. Agencies withhold the cost of these plans as payroll deductions plus your agency pays its share too. After retirement you are entitled to a monthly annuity for life. If you leave federal service before you reach full retirement age and have a minimum of 5 years FERS service you can elect to take a deferred retirement. FERS retirement benefits are very generous and far exceed what most private companies offer today."

"text": "\"There are a wide variety of means Canadians use to pay for seniors' care. This begins with pension money from Old Age Security (OAS) and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and extends to personal finances, which can include everything from personal investments to paying out of pocket and getting personal help from kids. The great problems and dangers inherent in paying for senior care are twofold: Requiring more care than you planned for. For example, this may be the case when it comes to the need for memory care while you wait for long term care. Not having planned well enough for retirement, on the other hand. In a worst case scenario, you have very little or no savings and no funds at your disposal other than government pension. Beyond that scenario is everyone else who has not set themselves up so that income exceeds retirement needs and/or care costs. Both of these situations are discovered everyday by Canadians. This basic guide is intended to help people avoid those unfortunate scenarios. We urge that you get advice from financial experts on all these matters, as this is only a basic overview and informational guide."

Munden, 70, a long-time Butte resident, was an entertainer as well as a master gun smith who developed groundbreaking methods of customizing to perfection the beloved .45 caliber single action revolver and other guns, died Monday of heart failure. Munden’s wife and performance partner, Becky, said Tuesday, she was driving home with Bob after treatment at a Missoula hospital for what doctors described as a mild heart attack. At some point between Missoula and their home in Butte, Munden said he was experiencing chest pains, and later died. The 70-year-old shooting sports superstar was pronounced dead at St. James Heathcare in Butte. Born Feb. 8, 1942, in Kansas City, Mo., Munden began his professional shooting career at age 11 in Big Bear Lake, Calif. While still in high school, Bob placed second in a competition known as the Leatherslap. After years of competing in fast draw, Bob and Becky performed together beginning in 1968, emphasizing the importance of gun safety when they went on tour in 1969 for the National School Assembly Program. Depending on the venue, Bob and Becky continued to perform together shooting blanks or with live ammunition across the United States, in New Zealand and London, England. As recently as 2011, the Mundens put on their live-ammunition exhibition at locations in California and Kansas. Over the years Bob, often with Becky who is also a champion shooter, appeared on many television shows, most famously American Shooter, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Shooting USA, and Shooting USA’s Impossible Shots."

"text": "what is smallbore rifle shooting? Smallbore rifle shooting, as covered by this website, involves the use of .22 calibre target rifles firing .22 rimfire ammunition fired at paper or cardboard targets at distances from 15 yards up to 100 yards. The practical skills involved are very similar to those used for both full-bore and air rifle shooting with the main difference being the type of rifle and ammunition used. Sporting rifle, field target and other types of Smallbore rifle shooting are availbe but are not covered in this website (yet...)For some people shooting is a recreational sport to be enjoyed with friends and provides an environment to meet like minded people. For others it is an intense challenge requiring discipline and effort with the goal of competing at club, county or international level. Rifle shooting is one of a small number of sports that is open to almost anyone irrespective of any disabilities, age, gender and fitness, which do not by themselves define who will be good or bad at shooting as they do with some other sports. ( There are limitations to the type of shooting that can be done by people with a criminal record ). Each person takes something different from the sport. Some find it helps with concentration and patience, for others it provides them with an experience that is very different from their usual day to day activities. Target shooting was one of the original founding sports for the modern Olympic Games started in 1896 and more detail on the History of Smallbore Rifle Shooting is available in our History section Shooting is accessible at over 600 clubs around the country that have a variety of indoor and outdoor ranges."

Always a smoking gun, the fast-draw world-record holder, a master gunsmith and exhibition shooter extraordinaire—one thing is certain—Bob Munden will never be forgotten. The Legend1964 World Fast Draw Association tournament in Hollister Calif Bob won 1st Place Overall Fastest Time. ( Photo credit: bobmunden.com)I’ve never known the world of shooting without Bob Munden and I can’t imagine it will ever be the same now that he’s gone. As a kid—and well, still now—I wanted one of the coins Bob would so gracefully toss into the air and blast with the ease only a dedicated legend could attain. He was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the “Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived”. Those who never had the pleasure of watching Munden in person surely caught his appearances on countless television programs over the years including Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Impossible Shots, Shooting USA and Stan Lee’s Superhumans. The Man Hard as it may be to believe, Bob began shooting professionally at age 11 and never looked back. He and his wife Becky—an amazing shooter in her own right—traveled the world shooting for audiences and promoting firearms safety. Bob may not have been a movie star, but his shooting skills were the real deal."

How much acreage does one really need in order to shoot \"\"safely\"\"? Ive considered hills, neighboring homes, flat land, etc.., but don't know if 5 acres is enough, or 1 acre, or 50. Any thoughts? This would be my private use, family, close friends but in no way a business.# 2 06-08-2011, 08:36 AMTravisj Member Join Date: Jun 2011Location: Ridgeland, SCAge: 42Posts: 63I'd want as much a possible but I think overall layout of the land and range design would play a bigger role than just the acreage. One acre wide by five deep is a lot different than just 2.5x2.5. Hills and berms would be a great plus if it's something that you could do and had the means to do it.__________________ Kimber Pro Crimson Carry II S&W 29-3 44 2 other plastic ones and a bunch of long guns...# 3 06-08-2011, 08:38 AMscottl Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2008Location: Eastern Ky Posts: 3,483Definetly not one acre of flat land with neighbors close by.# 4 06-08-2011, 08:41 AMcrashoverrideplik Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2011Location: Kansas City, MOPosts: 5,146If you build a \"\"bullet trap\"\" (read: big dirt mound) you could shoot easily on under 5 acres."

"text": "\"An Overview of the Olympic TRAP Event and The Required Facility An excerpt from a white paper prepared by USA Shooting for the Congressional Sportsman’s Foundation - 7 March 2002Olympic Shotgun Events and Equipment In general, the Olympic shotgun events are intended to be far more difficult than their domestic counterparts. The clay targets used in the Olympic events are flatter and of a more durable construction, making breakage much more difficult. The targets are thrown at far greater speeds, over much wider arcs and angles, and to a much greater distance than those in our domestic events. Firearms allowed include any 12-gauge shotgun holding two rounds. Over-and-under designs predominate due to their reliability and durability, having to withstand many tens-of-thousands of rounds fired in practice and competition each year. 12-gauge ammunition used in Olympic events is restricted to a lighter load of lead pellets to further increase the shotgun events’ difficulty. Trap Trap has been a part of the Olympics since 1900. Squads of six shooters fire in rotation in rounds of 25 targets. Each shooter is presented with the same set of targets during the round, but in random order so the target’s flight can’t be anticipated. Targets emerge upon the shooter’s call from an underground bunker containing 15 throwing machines."

"text": "How long is .22 Rimfire Ammo good for? August 7, 2010 by shilohtv Filed under Trail Boss Articles Leave a comment If you are like me and like to shoot, you will find yourself with a huge supply of .22 ammo for a multitude of different reasons. It is not unusual for me to buy a brick or two on a regular basis and more if the ammo is on sale. Because of this I wind up with an abundance and some of it needs to be stored. Having a good deal of .22 ammo around is never a bad thing. I can always find a reason to grab one of my favorite rifles or pistols and head out for a day of practice, hunting or plinking. When storing .22 rimfire ammunition it pays to spend a little more to buy quality ammo. I have stored .22 rimfire ammo up to ten years with no ill effect. Buying quality ammo avoids risk of misfires or split cases upon firing years later. I have frequently experienced misfires, split cases, dried out lube, corroded or oxidized bullets, poor accuracy and generally poor performance with older .22 rimfire ammo."

Panic, chaos and rumor gripped this largely working-class community about 60 miles east of Los Angeles as the attackers carried out the nation’s worst mass shooting since the assault on an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., nearly three years ago. Chief Jarrod Burguan of the San Bernardino Police Department identified the two suspects as Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 29. Mr. Farook was born in the United States.

"text": "\"About Biathlon Description and history of Biathlon - how the sport evolved... This page was last updated23 July 2003 - Under construction What is Biathlon: Biathlon is a Winter Olympic Sport which combines cross country skiing with precision target shooting. There is also a warm weather variant called Summer Biathlon which replaces skiing with running. In a typical Winter race, a Biathlete is required to ski with his or her rifle over a set distance to a shooting range, where five shots at five knockdown targets 50 m down range are taken from prone position. Depending on the format, either a time penalty or penalty laps are assessed for missed shots. The racer then skiis another loop, and comes back to the shooting range for another set of shots - this time from a standing stance. Again penalties are assessed for missed shots. The biathlete then skiis a final loop to complete the race. A more complete description of the various race formats may be found here. Though a seemingly unlikely combination of events - one is an aerobic activity which requires strength, speed, and endurance; the other is a passive activity which requires concentration and a steady hand (difficult after you've been skiing all out! ), the biathlon concept evolved from two activities which have a long history - hunting and winter warfare.1994 Olympic Postcard Hunting Origins Rock paintings depicting hunters with bow and arrow moving on sliding timber have been found near Roedoey, Norway which date back to the Neolithic age (about 3000 BC)."

"text": "Flag What car rental companies allow people under the age of 25 to rent a car? Answer by Bestcarrentaltips Confidence votes 117The general rule of thumb when it comes to age is that most car rental companies require the renter to be 25 years old to rent. Many companies will rent to customers between the ages of 21-24 also, but with restrictions, such as Vehicle Type and Size Many companies will restrict an renter under 25 to certain size categories and restrict certain types of vehicles (example large suv's). Check with the rental company on these restrictions. Credit I. D. You must show an acceptable form of Credit Identification. While a lot of companies now accept Debit Credit Cards, an underage renter must show a major charge card in their own name. Renters between 21 and 24 will not be allowed to use a debit card. Underage fee Most rental car companies charge underage fees to renters under 25 years of age. The average underage fee is around $25 a day extra. In the state of New York the underage fee is usually considerably higher."

"text": "Required Age to Rent a Car Based on Car Rental Company Posted on Autos.com Editor in Car Rentals on October 7, 2013In order to rent a car from one of the various large rental car companies, not only must you possess a valid drivers license and have a major credit card, but you must meet an age requirement as well. These differ slightly from company to company, but they all have similar conditions. When you rent a car, you have the option of purchasing different levels of insurance as well, but that may not be adequate for serious accidents or bodily injury. Thus, being properly insured is another requirement. Age Requirements for Rental Car Companies For nearly every major company, the minimum age for renting a car is 25. This, however, is subject to some exceptions if you meet some conditions or agree on a surcharge. The following is a breakdown of the age requirements and exceptions for the major car rental companies. Budget This company has a minimum age of 25, but it will rent to drivers as young as 18 with a $52 per day surcharge in some states. At age 21 that rate drops to $35 per day. For corporate drivers, the minimum age is 21."

"text": "Travel It's the limit being refused a hire car Be warned, many companies won't rent to over-70s Margaret Hughes Sat 11 Jun 2005 13.04 EDT9This summer many motorists older than 70 travelling both abroad and in the UK are in for a shock - they may be refused a rental car. Most hire car companies won't rent to the over-70s, with some setting an even lower age limit. This is regardless of whether the driver has decades of experience, a clean record, insurance cover for their own four wheels, a full no claims bonus and good health. So if you are planning to hire a car when you go on holiday, you could be in for a nasty shock when you discover that you're deemed to be too old to drive. The good news is that there are a few car rental companies that don't impose an age limit. Many car rental outlets are operated as franchises. Even if the main company has no age limit, whether or not the franchisee imposes age restrictions will depend on the deal they've made with their own insurers and the restrictions that they may impose. There are three particular countries - Cyprus, Ireland and Malta - where, whatever the car rental company's own corporate policy, older drivers can find themselves rejected as the local insurers have arbitrary age limits. One major car rental company that doesn't impose age limits is Avis-Rent-A-Car, which has a worldwide network of outlets. It took its deal a stage further earlier this year when it teamed up with Help the Aged to offer customers who book through the charity a 10% discount in the UK, Europe, the US and Canada."

There is often confusion about these policies. I want to try and clear up some of the fuzzy areas about underage car rental. Minimum age is that age at which you must be (or older, of course!) to rent a vehicle. For any rental company, you must meet the age requirement on the day of pick up . The general rule of thumb is that: Renters must be 25 years of age to rent a car without any additional fees associated with age. Companies WILL rent to customers under 25 also, but with restrictions (and fees!). Companies that allow renters younger than 25 usually charge an underage fee for each day of the rental."

Of course, if you are going to be traveling for a short duration, you will most likely want to rent a car. Car rental is available on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Of course, it will cost more money to rent a car for longer periods of time, but if you need it, you need it. When you rent a car, you will not receive a driver. You will have to drive the car yourself. Most car rental companies have locations at airports, and many of them also have several locations within the city or at hotels.

There are many reasons why consumers wind up at the rental counter: vacations, business trips, a car to take the kids to camp, a replacement vehicle while our own cars are in the shop. In all, there are millions of car rentals each year in New York. Yet despite the fact that renting a car is a common experience, the transaction itself can be very confusing. Given the long, complicated contract and the recent changes in the state law regulating car rentals, that is not surprising. For example, there are a host of add-on charges presented to consumers at the counter, each with a cryptic name, often referred to simply by initials – SLP, CDW, PAI, PEC, and on and on. What are these extra charges? Do I have to pay them to rent the vehicle? Should I take any of them? Will my own car or homeowner’s insurance policies provide all the insurance coverage I need?"

For example, did you know that waiting until the day of to rent a car can usually cost more money and limit the type of vehicle you get? We took a look at the costs to rent a car at airports in the three largest cities in the country — New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago - using three well known car rental companies: Enterprise, Hertz and Budget Car Rental. The prices, unless mentioned, reflect the cost of booking a car online eight days in advance and having the rental for two days, from 5 p.m. Friday until 5 p.m. Sunday. Unless noted, the prices reflect the purchase of an economy car, typically the least expensive option.

"text": "Younger drivers may have difficulty in renting a car. Young adults, particularly those below age 25, may run into challenges when traveling through the United States. Renting a car is especially tricky, as many car rental agencies set a minimum age requirement of 25. Policies often vary from state to state and even from rental agency branch to branch, making it essential to contact the office of choice well in advance of a trip. Legal Age of Majority The legal age of majority in every state is 18. Younger travelers are not legally able to sign a contract, which would put the car rental agency at risk if the renter decided not to pay. Additionally, the rental agency could be liable if a younger renter was injured in an accident or injured someone else. Consequently, no car rental agency in the United States will rent to a driver under 18. Rental Agency Discretion As of publication, only New York and Michigan have state laws requiring car rental agencies to rent to drivers age 18 and over. All other states allow rental car companies the discretion to set their minimum age requirement, which is typically but not always 25."

"text": "If you rent a car in the US, can you add another driver to your contract? In general, yes, you can, but it might cost you – plenty. Not too long ago, you would have expected, perhaps, to pay a fee to add an additional authorized driver to your rental car contract, unless that extra driver happened to be your spouse or domestic partner. Companions of disabled renters were also exempt from additional authorized driver charges. The situation is a little more complicated today. Some rental car companies allow renters to add spouses and domestic partners to their contracts free of charge. Others charge for domestic partners but not spouses or companion drivers. A few rental car companies charge to add even spouses as additional authorized drivers – except in certain states. How to Avoid Paying for Another Driver on Your Rental Car Contract The best way to avoid paying for additional authorized drivers is to do your homework early, well before you go to pick up your rental car. You can get information from the rental car company's website or call a customer service representative, but the answers you receive may not be accurate for your rental location."

Not only can travelers encounter these limits by country, they also can vary from company to company. Renters in the U. S. face no maximum age restrictions. First, the overseas picture.

From British Columbia and the wild Yukon to the West, to Ontario, French-Canadian Quebec, and peninsular areas like Nova Scotia, over 3 million square miles of continental ground brings diversity to this northern wonderland. Renting a Car in Canada: Age Requirements Established industry resources show that the age requirement for renting a car at a Canadian rental office is that the driver must be at least 21 years of age. For drivers under 24, an “underage rental fee” may be applied, even though these drivers are legally allowed to rent vehicles. According to some reports, these underage fees can be pretty steep, and in the opinion of some Canadians, it’s nearly impossible to rent anywhere under 25 years of age. For those thinking of coming to Canada and touring in a rental, it’s a good idea for drivers under 25 to take the time to contact individual shops and ask about the applicable fees to make sure they know where they can rent for affordable prices. Other Fees In addition to underage fees for rental cars, Canadians also report large amounts of money requested at some rental desks to cover insurance needs for vehicles. For visitors who aren’t using company money to pay for their rentals, or for small business owners, it’s a good idea to get an agreement up front with a rental agency before showing up at your Canadian rental office.

Canon Evidence Edit For most of the series, Dipper canonically has a very obvious crush on Wendy. He has difficulty speaking properly to her, blushes around her, and goes to great lengths to spend time with her -- examples being creating an incredibly lengthy plan full of unnecessary details just to start a conversation with her, creating over ten clones to make sure said plan goes smoothly, and going back in time over and over again until he creates an incredibly intricate plan that will ensure a timeline where Wendy and Robbie don't begin dating. Dipper has also shown obsessive tendencies towards Wendy besides his overly intricate plans to spend time with her, such as keeping a box full of pictures of her, being unable to sleep if he's thinking of her, and so on. In the fandom, his infatuation is regarded as cute and endearing. In Blendin's Game, Dipper and Mabel travel ten years into the past and run into young Wendy and Tambry. Young Wendy whispers something to Tambry, and then Tambry says to Dipper \"\"My friend thinks you're cute.\"\" This shows that young Wendy had a crush on Dipper/thought he was cute. Wendy pretends not to notice Dipper's feelings up until season 2 episode 2, Into the Bunker, where Dipper finally confesses his feelings."

"text": "\"Belly Fat…The Cause & Cure We’ve created clever euphemisms to describe it – like muffin top, mid-life bulge, and a thickening waist. But however you want to refer to belly fat, it’s an unfortunate fact of life for most women in mid-life and getting rid of it is, as a friend of mine put it, like chiseling cement. I’ve been in search of diet and exercise books to find the cause as well as a cure to belly fat and I came across From Belly Fat to Belly Flat: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waist and Subtracting Years from Your Life — the Medically Proven Way to Reset Your Metabolism and Reshape Your Body, by Dr. C. W. Randolph. Dr. Randolph, a board certified OB-GYN, is well known for advocating the use of natural medicine to treat women’s health concerns and he has been a leading proponent in the use of human-identical hormones to treat symptoms of hormone imbalances. I contacted Dr. Randolph by email to ask about the connection between hormones and abdominal weight gain and how hormone-balancing can help. His responses follow: Wendy: A lot of women begin complaining about abdominal weight gain, along with sleep problems and an inability to focus or concentrate in their 40s, but because they’re still getting their periods, they don’t attribute it to menopause. When do a woman’s hormone levels begin to get out of whack? Dr. Randolph: In a women’s early to mid-30′s, progesterone levels are the first of the three sex hormones (progesterone, estrogen and testosterone) to decline. In fact, progesterone levels decline 120x more rapidly than estrogen levels. The result is a disequilibrium of estrogen to progesterone medically termed “estrogen dominance.”"

Instead, they want to know things like “How do I keep my mother from falling?” or “What should I do? My grandfather’s been falling. ”After all, falls are a scary thing. Most people know that falls are dangerous for older adults. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that one in five falls causes a serious injury such as a broken bone or head injury. Fear of falling can also seriously affect an aging adult’s quality of life and sadly, can keep a person from being active and thriving. So, many seniors and family caregivers are interested in fall prevention because the risks are so great. And the good news is that although it’s not possible to prevent all falls, it almost always IS possible to take actions that will reduce the chance of a bad fall."

As she stared up at the faces of four U. S. presidents, she made a decision — perhaps one of the most life-changing decisions she would ever make: to run for an open congressional seat in her district. “I literally saw it as a moment of ‘If not now, when; if not me, who?” Wendy said to Teen Vogue. “ So I jumped. I said, ‘I’m all in. '\"\" Wendy, 36, is a former undocumented immigrant, Latina, and indigenous woman who is running for a congressional seat in the 34th district of California. Her path leading up to that one day at the base of Mount Rushmore was a long journey that started in her home country. Wendy was born in El Salvador; her early years in her home country were during the time of the Salvadorian Civil War — the war that ended up killing her biological father and would bring her mother to America. Wendy soon followed her mother, fleeing El Salvador at age 5 to follow the dream that millions (and perhaps billions) of other refugees and immigrants have chased over the course of America’s existence: a chance at the American dream."

( Photo by Elizabeth Osborne)At the moment, I’ve got 4,999 “friends” on Facebook—and of course that number includes a great many people I’ve never met. But when I look over the list, I’m surprised to see how many of the names are ones I’ve come to recognize well. I might not know what city one of these friends lives in or what she does for a living, but I’ve read about the death of her dog, or how it felt to leave her son at his college dormitory room last week, or how her tomato crop is doing. I have seen her dump water over her head and studied her wedding picture from 30 years ago, as well as the pictures posted more recently of herself and that same husband, a little heavier, with grayer hair, or less of it, and a lot more miles visible. I often find myself turning to these images of seeming strangers, at random moments as I sit at my desk. They make me happy in a way I’d have a hard time explaining. Maybe it’s the sense they offer, in this solitary work of mine, that I’m a little less alone in the world. Then there’s a smaller group of visitors (“friends,” we call them, in this age we live in, where so much of our lives will be lived on the keyboard, through the screen) who not only post regularly on my page, but actually cross over into my offline life, too. They show up at my book readings, or offer advice on whatever situation I happen to be grappling with that day."

I promised you we’d get deeper into the details of it, so here goes! The body is a beautiful machine that sometimes gets “gummed up” with stress, toxins, nutritional deficiencies, too many calories, too little sleep, and many, many more imbalances. I tell all my patients that “your intestines run your body.” But what is running the intestines (aka, the gut)? Well, here is as religious as I will ever get in a post: It’s what I refer to as the body’s holy trinity. The adrenal glands (located on top of the kidneys on both sides of the body), the liver (located under your right ribcage), and the gut work together in a beautiful dance that impacts what hormones your adrenals release and what detoxing your liver does — and consequently, what your intestines do. When I say that the gut runs your body, I mean that if your gut is out of balance, it will impact virtually every other system in your body, and can mean the difference between feeling happy and depressed. Your intestines produce up to 95 percent of all the serotonin in your body (think: happiness hormone!) So an imbalance in your gut can lead to a really crappy day, or even week or month!Let’s go back to the liver, though."

"text": "\"Essay on Classical and Neo-classical Theories of Crime Rohit Bura Advertisements: Classical and Neo-classical Theories of Crime Classicist explanations of crime and punishment were developed in the second half of the eighteenth century. In fact, these theoretical explanations developed as a reaction of enlightened thinkers and political reformers to arbitrary systems of justice and barbarous codes of punishment which prevailed up to the end of the eighteenth century. They demanded a legal system that would defend the interests of criminals and protect their rights and liberties. They believed in the 'contract theory' of the origin of state (propounded by Rousseau), that is, regulating the conduct of free individuals who were bound to one another within the society by a fee and 'legal' contract between free and equal individuals. According to Rousseau's doctrine of social contract, men were absolutely free and independent in a state of nature but surrendered a small part of their freedom through a social contract in order to secure the benefits of union. The doctrine of social contract has no foundation in history, and Rousseau himself probably knew that it was a fiction, but it gave him a basis upon which to plead the cause of liberty and to protest against tyranny.) Thus, individuals were conceived as free, rational and sovereign individuals, capable of defining their self-interests and rationally thinking of the consequences of their actions. They, therefore, thought of state/society not as something sovereign but as something which individuals had contracted to establish for their individual and mutual benefits. In this way, they sought to limit the. Power of the state to the defence of rights and liberties, as well as safety and security of the individual."

"text": "\"Feeding and management of the lamb crop is an important phase of the sheep production cycle. This is not an easy topic to discuss primarily, because there are a number of ways to grow and finish lambs. The type of feeding program will depend in large part on what area of the country one is located, what type of production system is utilized, what the marketing options are and, of course, what feed resources are available. Feeding lambs involves the use of forages, grains for energy, protein supplements, vitamin and mineral supplements, and feed additives. The production and marketing goals will dictate what amounts or rations the above feedstuffs will be combined into to make a balanced diet. Lambs can be successfully fed using many combinations of these feeds. Nutrition of lambs can be satisfied from a diet that is all forage to one that is essentially all grain and protein concentrates, and all combinations between these extremes. What are the Nutrient Needs of Lambs? The absolute and relative amounts of the nutrients needed by lambs are dependent on numerous factors. Included in these are: body weight or size, desired growth rate of the lambs and the genetic potential lambs have to gain weight."

"text": "\"Challenging Laws: 3 Levels of Scrutiny Explained By Brett Snider, Esq. on January 27, 2014 9:05 AMWhen the constitutionality of a law is challenged, both state and federal courts will commonly apply one of three levels of judicial scrutiny. The level of scrutiny that's applied determines how a court will go about analyzing a law and its effects. It also determines which party -- the challenger or the government -- has the burden of proof. Although these tests aren't exactly set in stone, here is the basic framework for the most common levels of scrutiny applied to challenged laws: Strict Scrutiny This is the highest level of scrutiny applied by courts to government actions or laws. The U. S. Supreme Court has determined that legislation or government actions which discriminate on the basis of race, national origin, religion, and alienage must pass this level of scrutiny to survive a challenge that the policy violates constitutional equal protection. This high level of scrutiny is also applied whenever a \"\"fundamental right\"\" is being threatened by a law, like the right to marriage. Strict scrutiny requires the government to prove that: There is a compelling state interest behind the challenged policy, and The law or regulation is narrowly tailored to achieve its result. Intermediate Scrutiny The next level of judicial focus on challenged laws is less demanding than strict scrutiny. In order for a law to pass intermediate scrutiny, it must: Serve an important government objective, and Be substantially related to achieving the objective."

"text": "Suicide First published Tue May 18, 2004; substantive revision Fri Jul 21, 2017Throughout history, suicide has evoked an astonishingly wide range of reactions—bafflement, dismissal, heroic glorification, sympathy, anger, moral or religious condemnation—but it is never uncontroversial. Suicide is now an object of multidisciplinary scientific study, with sociology, anthropology, psychology, and psychiatry each providing important insights into suicide. Particularly promising are the significant advances being made in our scientific understanding of the neurological and genetic bases of suicidal behavior (Stoff and Mann 1997, Jamison 2000, Joiner 2010, 228–236) and the mental conditions associated with it. Nonetheless, many of the most controversial questions surrounding suicide are philosophical. For philosophers, suicide raises a host of conceptual, moral, and psychological questions. Among these questions are: What makes a person’s behavior suicidal? What motivates such behavior? Is suicide morally permissible, or even morally required in some extraordinary circumstances? Is suicidal behavior rational? This article will examine the main currents of historical and contemporary Western philosophical thought surrounding these questions.1."

"text": "\"rationalism (redirected from Rationalism (philosophy)) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Legal .rationalism [Lat. ,=belonging to reason], in philosophy, a theory that holds that reasonalone, unaided by experience, can arrive at basic truth regarding the world. Associated withrationalism is the doctrine of innate ideas and the method of logically deducing truths about theworld from \"\"self-evident\"\" premises. Rationalism is opposed to empiricism on the question of thesource of knowledge and the techniques for verification of knowledge. René Descartes, G. W. von Leibniz, and Baruch Spinoza all represent the rationalist position, and John Locke the empirical. Immanuel Kant in his critical philosophy attempted a synthesis of these two positions. Moreloosely, rationalism may signify confidence in the intelligible, orderly character of the world and in the mind's ability to discern such order. It is opposed by irrationalism, a view that either deniesmeaning and coherence in reality or discredits the ability of reason to discern such coherence. Irrational philosophies accordingly stress the will at the expense of reason, as exemplified in theexistentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre or Karl Jaspers. In religion, rationalism is the view that recognizes as true only that content of faith that can be made to appeal to reason."

"text": "\"Print Reference this This essay has been submitted by a law student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Universalism And Cultural Relativism In Human Rights International Law Essay“Human Rights\"\" is a relatively new expression, having come into international law only after World War II and the establishment of United Nations. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted and proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948 is a milestone document in the history of human rights. And the debate, which arose along with the internationalization of human rights, is whether all human rights are universal, or there are certain rights and freedoms, which can be avoided for the cultural features. This essay examines the debate through the contradiction of concepts of Universalism and Cultural Relativism. International law, which actually has started developing with the first states, has been a subject of significant changes especially during the period between Westphalian peace treaty (1648) and World War I. Traditional international law is a law of power, that is the war is considered to be an important attribute of state sovereignty. One of the essential qualitative differences between traditional international law and contemporary international law is the prohibition of aggressive wars and the idea of international protection of human rights. In other words, contemporary international law takes the rights of man under its patronage. The international protection of human rights is a revolutionary idea and traditional disciplines of international law have nothing to do with it at all."

Power is related to taking of decisions and for the implementation of those decisions. No organisation, whatever may its nature be, can do its duty or achieve objectives without power. Robert Dahl in many of his works has defined power and analysed its various aspects. In his A Preface to Democratic Theory Dahl calls power a type of relationship in respect of capability and control. Take a very simple example. There are two men—A and B. If A possesses the capability to control B then it will be assumed that A has the power. So power involves a successful attempt to do something which he could not do otherwise. In any society there are diverse interests and all are alike. When there are conflicts among them one interest proceeds to dominate over the other and the interest which prevails upon the other the former may be called powerful interest."

Teatro Carlo Felice, designed by Aldo Rossi, who is considered the founder of neo-rationalism In architecture, rationalism is an architectural current which mostly developed from Italy in the 1920s-1930s. Vitruvius had claimed in his work De Architectura that architecture is a science that can be comprehended rationally. This formulation was taken up and further developed in the architectural treatises of the Renaissance. Progressive art theory of the 18th-century opposed the Baroque use of illusionism with the classic beauty of truth and reason. Twentieth-century rationalism derived less from a special, unified theoretical work than from a common belief that the most varied problems posed by the real world could be resolved by reason. In that respect it represented a reaction to historicism and a contrast to Art Nouveau and Expressionism.

"text": "T his term, the Supreme Court is highly likely to decide the constitutionality of same-sex marriage bans. Such bans still stand in the way of same-sex unions in 14 states, and have aroused passionate opposition. However, the fate of these laws might not rest on moral arguments for equality. Instead, their constitutionality may be determined by a relatively dry legal issue: the level of scrutiny that laws which differentiate on the basis of sexual orientation should receive under the 14th Amendment. What is legal scrutiny, and why does it matter? The Equal Protection Clause (EPC) of the 14th Amendment declares that “No State… shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” This guarantee of equal protection is one of the most profound and important statements in the American Constitution. Groups frequently dispute laws on basis of the EPC, arguing that a particular statute which explicitly treats two groups differently is unconstitutional. The success or failure of such attempts, though, often rests on certain judicial rules regarding the implementation of the EPC. One set of these rules regards the level of judicial “scrutiny” laws receive when they are challenged as discriminatory on the basis of the EPC. “"

As the terms imply ‘process’ is concerned with the methods and means ‘how’ whereas the ‘product’ looks at the outcomes, the end product ‘what’. There are two approaches that have been developed: normative and descriptive. The first approaches are called normative – Objectives (Tyler 1949) and the rational (Taba 1962 and Wheeler 1967) because they provide a sequence of steps. These have technical interests of control. The procedural approach (Stenhouse 1975, Walker 1972, Skilbeck 1976, Olivia 1976) which is discussed later in the lecture falls into the second category of descriptive approaches because it an interactive model.

This essay aims to describe, analyse and present a critique of Lars Tornstam's psychological and social ageing theory. According to Tornstam (1997, 1996, 1995, 1994), human ageing is characterised by a general potential for gerotranscendence. Gerotranscendence is a shift in metaperspective, from a materialistic and rational view of the world to a more cosmic and transcendent view. This means an increased feeling of affinity with past generations, a diminished interest in superfluous social interaction and material things, and a greater need for solitary meditation. Gerotranscendence is a natural and individual process towards maturity and wisdom, normally accompanied by more life satisfaction. It may be described as a transformation, characterised by new ways of understanding life, activity and oneself. What is the basis of a theory which presents such statements? How has the theory been developed? On which values and assumptions is it based?"

In that sense, all philosophers in that period could be said to come under the general umbrella of Kantianism, even those who oppose Kant’s conclusions, sometimes vehemently. Practically speaking, the term Kantianism refers to the thought of Kant and those immediate followers who remained within the general framework of his system. It may also be used to describe an orientation of thought of later thinkers who have taken over key elements from Kant’s philosophy. The renewal of Kantianism towards the end of the nineteenth century is usually referred to as Neo-Kantianism. The general epistemological position of Kantianism is that knowledge comes about through a synthesis performed by the subject. In ethics, Kantianism is synonymous with the deontological position expressed by the notion of the categorical imperative. The term Kantianism, or Kantian, is still often used to describe contemporary positions in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and ethics."

His ideas profoundly influenced social theory and social research. [ 5] Weber is often cited, with Émile Durkheim and Karl Marx, as among the three founders of sociology. [ 6] [7] [8] [9] [10] Weber was a key proponent of methodological antipositivism, arguing for the study of social action through interpretive (rather than purely empiricist) means, based on understanding the purpose and meaning that individuals attach to their own actions. Unlike Durkheim, he did not believe in monocausality and rather proposed that for any outcome there can be multiple causes. [ 11]Weber's main intellectual concern was understanding the processes of rationalisation, secularisation, and \"\" disenchantment \"\" that he associated with the rise of capitalism and modernity. [ 12] He saw these as the result of a new way of thinking about the world. [ 13] Weber is best known for his thesis combining economic sociology and the sociology of religion, elaborated in his book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, in which he proposed that ascetic Protestantism was one of the major \"\"elective affinities\"\" associated with the rise in the Western world of market -driven capitalism and the rational-legal nation-state. He argued that it was in the basic tenets of Protestantism to boost capitalism."

There are several types of drusen with different levels of risk. Drusen can be small, hard and scattered far apart from each other. They are round and distinct.

AMD is the most common cause of irreversible vision loss in the developed world. Drusen can be detected early in this disease without visual loss. As dry AMD progresses to retinal atrophy and central retinal degeneration, loss of central vision is often observed. Generally, nonexudative AMD has a much slower (over decades), progressive visual loss relative to exudative (wet) AMD (over months). Moderate nonexudative age-related macular degeneration is shown with the presence of drusen (yellow deposits) in the macular region.

However, rapid onset of metamorphopsia is concerning for the development of wet AMD. See Clinical Presentation for more detail.

The most common carotenoids in North American diets are α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene. ( More information)Provitamin A carotenoids, α-carotene, β-carotene, and β-cryptoxanthin, can be converted by the body to retinol (vitamin A). In contrast, no vitamin A activity can be derived from lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene. ( More information)Dietary lutein and zeaxanthin are selectively taken up into the macula of the eye, where they absorb up to 90% of blue light and help maintain optimal visual function. ( More information)At present, it is unclear whether the biological effects of carotenoids in humans are related to their antioxidant activity and/or other non-antioxidant activities. ( More information)Although the results of observational studies suggest that diets high in carotenoid-rich fruit and vegetables are associated with reduced risks of cardiovascular disease and some cancers, high-dose β-carotene supplements did not reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease or cancer in large randomized controlled trials. ( More information)Two randomized controlled trials found that high-dose β-carotene supplements increased the risk of lung cancer in smokers and former asbestos workers. ("

"text": "\"What Is Age-Related Macular Degeneration? By Marilyn Haddrill; reviewed by Charles Slonim, MDLike This Page? Please Share!On this page: Dry AMD • Wet AMD • Symptoms • Causes • Treatment Age-related macular degeneration — also called macular degeneration, AMD or ARMD — is deterioration of the macula, which is the small central area of the retina of the eye that controls visual acuity. The health of the macula determines our ability to read, recognize faces, drive, watch television, use a computer, and perform any other visual task that requires us to see fine detail. Prevalence Of Major Eye Diseases In USMacular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss among older Americans, and due to the aging of the U. S. population, the number of people affected by AMD is expected to increase significantly in the years ahead. According to a recent study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 6.5 percent of Americans age 40 and older have some degree of macular degeneration. Other research suggests there were 9.1 million cases of early AMD in the U. S. in 2010 and this number is expected to increase to 17.8 million by the year 2050. AMD is most common among the older white population, affecting more than 14 percent of white Americans age 80 and older. Among Americans age 50 and older, advanced macular degeneration affects 2.1 percent of this group overall, with whites being affected more frequently than blacks, non-white Hispanics and other ethnic groups (2.5 percent vs. 0.9 percent). Wet And Dry Forms Of Macular Degeneration Macular degeneration is diagnosed as either dry (non-neovascular) or wet (neovascular)."

"text": "Causes of Blindness Eye Conditions and Their Causes Vision loss and blindness can be caused by several factors. These factors can be genetic, environmental or accidental. In order to better comprehend how blindness can affect the individual, it is important to understand what blindness is. Definitions: A person is legally blind if his/her central visual acuity, that is (what they see in front of them), is less than 20/200 in their good eye after correction, such as glasses or contacts. 20/200 visual acuity means that a person can see at 20 feet what a person with 20/20 vision can at 200 feet. A person can also be considered legally blind if their visual field, that is what they perceive to either side of them is 20 degrees or less. For the purposes of this article, we will look at the top five eye conditions that cause blindness: Cataracts, Glaucoma, Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy and Retinitis Pigmentosa. Other conditions do exist, however, they will not be discussed here. Cataracts: Cataracts are caused by the clouding of the lens of the eye. This means that the light that comes through the pupil and passes through the lens to be focused to the retina is blurred."

D., Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, Hershey, Pennsylvania Am Fam Physician. 1999 Jul 1;60 (1):99-108. Vision loss among the elderly is a major health care problem. Approximately one person in three has some form of vision-reducing eye disease by the age of 65. The most common causes of vision loss among the elderly are age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy. Age-related macular degeneration is characterized by the loss of central vision. Primary open-angle glaucoma results in optic nerve damage and visual field loss. Because this condition may initially be asymptomatic, regular screening examinations are recommended for elderly patients. Cataract is a common cause of vision impairment among the elderly, but surgery is often effective in restoring vision. Diabetic retinopathy may be observed in the elderly at the time of diagnosis or during the first few years of diabetes."

Disease incidence Jennifer Evans BA MSc Epidemiologist, 'Glaxo' Department of Ophthalmic Epidemiology, Moorfields Eye Hospital and, Institute of Ophthalmology, City Road, London, EC1V 2PD, United Kingdom In everyday language, ‘incidence’ is commonly taken to refer to the occurrence of an event or disease. Most people use the word interchangeably with ‘prevalence’. In epidemiology, however, incidence has a very specific meaning that is different to prevalence, which is the number of cases in a defined population at a particular point in time (see previous article in this series). Definition: The incidence of a disease is the number of new cases arising in a given period of time in a specified group of people (population). Although prevalence and incidence are related, they measure different aspects of disease burden in a population. The incidence of a disease will depend on its aetiology, i.e., why it occurs."

Top Abstract Aims/background The yellow lesions of adult vitelliform macular degeneration (AVMD) slowly fade, progressing to hyperpigmentation or atrophy. This study aims to provide further observations on the location and nature of the vitelliform material. Methods This report describes the clinicopathological correlation of four eyes with AVMD. A retrospective histopathological study of a further 526 aged eyes previously graded for the stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) found another 10 eyes with similar pathology. Results The predominant finding was a collection of extracellular material beneath the sensory retina at the fovea. This material was derived internally from photoreceptor outer segments and externally from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the latter first undergoing hypertrophy and then disruption and attenuation. Fallout of foveal cones occurred over these lesions and the inner retina was thinned, which may explain macular hole formation in this condition."

Is your vision blurry? I know mine is after sitting in front of the computer for a while. In that case, you and I need to eat more lutein-rich foods, according to Drs. Michael R. and Marc R. Rose. In their book, Save Your Sight, they write, \"\"A few weeks after consuming more lutein-rich foods or lutein supplements, some normal-sighted people report less glare, improved color vision and sharper vision.\"\" Theory suggests that lutein and its companion carotenoid zeaxanthin may save our sight by acting \"\"as a shield or filter that helps to absorb harmful UVB light and dangerous free-radical molecules, both of which threaten the retinal tissue,\"\" according to Life Extension Foundation's Disease Prevention and Treatment . Though everyone's sight could benefit from a diet high in lutein, it can literally save the sight of those who have family histories of macular degeneration and other vision loss problems."

The APD works in partnership with local communities and private providers to assist people who have developmental disabilities and their families. APD also provides assistance in identifying the needs of people with developmental disabilities for supports and services.

( May 2014)During the school year a large number of children in the United States receive free and reduced-lunches through their school lunch programs. However, when the school year ends food insecurity becomes prevalent amongst school-aged children. The Summer Food Service Program helps alleviate the nutritional gap and makes meals accessible to all children less than 18 years of age. The Summer Food Service Program ( SFSP) began in 1968. It was an amendment to the National School Lunch Act. Today, the SFSP is the largest federal resource available for local sponsors who want to combine a child nutrition program with a summer activity program. Sponsors can be public or private groups, such as non-profit organizations, government entities, churches, universities, and camps."

American military commissaries sell groceries and household goods to active-duty, Guard, Reserve, and retired members of all seven uniformed services of the United States and eligible members of their families at cost plus surcharge, saving authorized patrons thousands of dollars compared to civilian supermarkets.

Sales of goods from commissary department storehouses to military personnel began in 1825, when U. S. Army officers at specified posts could make purchases at cost for their personal use; by 1841, officers could also purchase items for members of their immediate families. [ 2]However, the modern era of sales commissaries is considered to have actually begun in 1867, when enlisted men received the same at-cost purchasing privileges officers had already enjoyed for four decades. No geographic restrictions were placed upon these sales; the commissary warehouse at every Army post could become a sales location, whether they were located on the frontier or near a large city. From the start, commissaries were meant to take on-post retail functions out of the hands of civilian vendors and post traders and allow the Army to \"\"care for its own.\"\" The stores provided wholesome food beyond what was supplied in the official rations, and the savings they provided supplemented military pay. The modern concept of commissary sales stores, which were established to benefit military personnel of all ranks by providing healthful foods at cost, reached its 150th anniversary on July 1, 2017. [ 2]The commissary retail function developed and grew, roughly parallel to the development of the retail grocery industry."

"text": "Issue 25, March 2010PDF Version Word Version This Info Brief describes the characteristics of and issues faced by youth involved with the juvenile justice system, including those with disabilities. It provides a framework for youth service professionals to help these youth avoid or transition out of the juvenile justice system, promotes cross-systems collaboration, and highlights promising practices currently being implemented around the country. This Info Brief is based on Making the Right Turn: A Guide about Improving Transition Outcomes for Youth Involved in the Juvenile Corrections System, available at: http://www.ncwd-youth.info/juvenile-justice-guide. There is a growing recognition that youth involved in the juvenile justice system represent one of the most vulnerable populations in the United States. This concern is heightened by the harsh fact that youth with disabilities are overrepresented in the juvenile justice system, as well as in all other categories of high risk youth. Sadly, youth—with and without disabilities—who become entangled in juvenile justice generally have poor transition outcomes related to reintegration and recidivism. Helping these youth pave the road to a more promising future presents major challenges for the varied adults charged with their care as well as the youth themselves. One important step to helping these youth is to develop a better understanding of how and why they become involved in the juvenile justice system, and some of the major obstacles that stand in the way of their successful transition into adulthood and economic self-sufficiency. Research and practice suggest that by addressing these youth’s specific developmental needs and the involvement of caring adults can substantially increase the likelihood that former youth offenders, with and without disabilities, will complete their education, become employed, and ultimately become productive members of society. Therefore, helping youth avoid or successfully transition from the juvenile justice system calls for a crucial collaboration between the various sectors that intersect before, during, and after each youth’s involvement, including juvenile justice, education, workforce development, mental health, housing, other community institutions, youth, and their families."

What is a SELPA? In 1977, all school districts and county school offices were mandated to form consortiums in geographical regions of sufficient size and scope to provide for all special education service needs of children residing within the region boundaries. Each region, Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA), developed a local plan describing how it would provide special education services. SELPAs are dedicated to the belief that all students can learn and that special needs students must be guaranteed equal opportunity to become contributing members of society. SELPAs facilitate high quality educational programs and services for special needs students and training for parents and educators. The SELPA collaborates with county agencies and school districts to develop and maintain healthy and enriching environments in which special needs students and families can live and succeed. Legal Background The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (PL 93-112), amended in 1992, includes Section 504, which affirms the right of any student or adult who has a mental or physical impairment which inhibits a major life activity including learning; has a history of such an impairment; or is considered by a team of knowledgeable individuals to have such an impairment, from being discriminated against program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. This Act also requires that students be given a free appropriate public education in regular education classes, with necessary supplementary aids and services, if they are determined by a school team to be disabled under Section 504 or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Such eligibility may exist without concurrent eligibility for special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)."

"text": "Can Parents Lose Custody Simply Because They Are Disabled? Vol. 31 No. 2By Robyn Powell Robyn Powell is Attorney Advisor at the National Council on Disability and the principal author of Rocking the Cradle: Ensuring the Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children (National Council on Disability, 2012; tinyurl.com/kqedg2p ). In 2009 Kaney O’Neill, a veteran and quadriplegic mother, faced an unexpected battle when her former boyfriend filed for custody of their ten-week-old son, alleging that O’Neill was “not a fit and proper person” to care for their son and that her disability “greatly limits her ability to care for the minor, or even wake up if the minor is distressed” ( Chicago Tribune, December 20, 2009, tinyurl.com/l6jqkss ). Refuting this allegation, O’Neill demonstrated her ability to care for their son. Indeed, she had prepared for motherhood by working with an occupational therapy program for expectant mothers and parents, adapting her house for parenting, securing adapted baby care equipment, and using personal assistants to help her as needed ( The Legal Program, November 23, 2011, tinyurl.com/lzd5wxr ). Illustrating the bias that pervades the family law system, an attorney who was not affiliated with the case remarked, “Certainly, I sympathize with the mom, but assuming both parties are equal (in other respects), isn’t the child obviously better off with the father?” This attorney, who has specialized in divorce and custody cases for more than 40 years, said that O’Neill “would likely not be able to teach her son to write, paint, or play ball.” The attorney asked a news reporter, “What’s the effect on the child—feeling sorry for the mother and becoming the parent?”O’Neill’s battle endured for a year and a half before both parties came to an agreement that gives the father visitation rights ( ABC 7 Chicago, May 4, 2011, tinyurl.com/qhua84l )."

And let's not forget about Giuliana and Bill Rancic's nearly 1-year-old, Duke, also born via a surrogate. From surrogates to adoption, there's a baby boom happening in Hollywood. Unfortunately, these routes aren't as easy for those who don't have that star paycheck to pay for it. While it seems like it might be an easy alternative, the reality, of course, is more complicated and expensive. Hopeful couples discover that adoption or gestational surrogacy costs from tens of thousands of dollars to more than $100,000. ( And that's on top of the thousands of dollars many have already shelled out on fertility treatments, to say nothing about the emotional toll. ) Read More: Jimmy Fallon Had Daughter Winnie Via Surrogate Financing options are available -- from grants to loans to companies willing to foot part of the bill -- but these are few and far between and usually don't make up the entire cost of adding a child to a family.

"text": "Can I adopt a Child from China? Historically, an adoption from China has generally been less difficult and less expensive than adopting a child from many other countries. 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": "The Differences Between Private and Foster Adoption Wait Times, Degree of Uncertainty, Cost, and Ages of Children The differences between private adoption and foster care adoption are immense, and each has their own advantages and disadvantages depending on the adoptive parents’ goals. The following is an overview of some main factors that adoptive families should consider before pursuing private or state foster care adoption. Wait Times Private Adoption – 1 to 12 months at American Adoptions, on average State Adoption – 1 month to 5 years, depending on the situation Some families who want to adopt sooner choose private adoption because wait times are typically shorter on average than in foster care adoption. This is due to the fact that the goal of any state social services department is to rehabilitate birth parents and reunify a child with his or her biological parents. These parents are often given multiple opportunities to correct the problems for which their children were originally removed from their homes, which ultimately keeps children in the foster care system for months and sometimes years. There are, however, some older children immediately ready for adoption through the state. Check your state’s social services department to learn more about these children. Uncertainty Private Adoption – Moderate State Adoption – High There is some degree of uncertainty no matter which type of adoption the adoptive family chooses, but the source of the uncertainty is different for each. American Adoptions has a success rate of nearly 85 percent of completed adoptions once an adoptive family and birth mother agree to pursue the same adoption plan. All precautions are taken to avoid failed adoptions, but they can and sometimes do happen."

"text": "Adopting a Baby through Private Domestic Adoption Why Adoptive Families Pursue This Type of Adoption Every year more than 300 families adopt a baby with American Adoptions, a national adoption agency that specializes in private domestic adoption. Why do so many people pursue a private domestic adoption and choose our national adoption agency to adopt a baby? First, let’s look at the definitions: Private Domestic Adoption – The domestic placement of a baby for adoption by their birth parents, who legally consent to the adoption with an adoptive family of their choosing. National Adoption Agency – Locates adoption opportunities between prospective adoptive families and birth parents across the country, provides support and education throughout the adoption process, and legally completes the adoption. The following is a list of the types of people who choose to work with a national agency like American Adoptions to complete their private domestic adoption:1. People who want to adopt a newborn Private domestic adoption is the only type of adoption that promises prospective adoptive couples a newborn baby. On average, American Adoptions completes the adoptions of 300 healthy newborn babies per year. Other types of adoption like foster care and international adoption cannot always promise families a newborn. For example, according to a study by the Children’s Bureau, of the 52,039 foster children who were adopted in 2012, only 1,113 were babies less than 1 year old (2 percent). International adoption faces the same problem."

Foster care is meant to be temporary; adoption is meant to be permanent. Because foster care is considered to be a temporary placement, it is not a good idea to become a foster parent with the expectation that you will always be able to adopt a child placed in your care. A foster parent is expected to work with the agency and birth parents in the hopes that the family will be reunited. If parental rights are terminated, though, relatives and/or foster parents will be considered first as adoptive homes for the child. Here is more information about fostering. There are children whose parental rights have already been terminated, and these children need adoptive families. Once your licensing process is complete, you may start inquiring about children in whom your family is interested."

"text": "\"Domestic vs. International Adoption Which Type of Adoption is Right for Your Family? When an adoptive family begins to explore the idea of adopting a child, it is easy for them to quickly become overwhelmed with information, questions and decisions. One of the first dilemmas families face is whether to pursue domestic adoption or international adoption. There are many factors adoptive parents must consider: cost, wait time, children available, medical and social history and legal concerns. Cost The difference in cost between international adoption and domestic adoption is a common misconception that many adoptive families share. Many mistakenly believe that international adoption costs far less than domestic adoption; however, this is not true. Both types of adoption have similar total costs, typically ranging from around $25,000 to $50,000, but they both have their own unique costs. For example, hopeful parents adopting domestically will not have to budget for a visa, unlike those adopting internationally. Likewise, parents adopting domestically may provide living expenses for the expectant mother, such as help with rent or utility payments, an expense that is not typically seen in international adoptions. Adoptive parents adopting internationally should also be prepared to travel to and stay in the country they are adopting from for a period that could range from a few days to several weeks."

This term encompasses all of the laws, planning, and actions of the government which concern internal issues that affect the entire country.

Definition of Domestic Policy Noun Public plans and courses of action that encompass internal issues of national importance. What is Domestic Policy The term domestic policy is broadly used to describe a range of issues, including personal rights and freedoms, social welfare, healthcare, education, legislation, law enforcement, natural resources, and energy generation and use. Domestic policy affects how every person in the country lives every day, as it shapes such issues as environmental protection, laws, education, welfare programs, and law enforcement. This is in contrast to foreign policy, which deals with the nation’s relationships with other countries, including international trade, and peacekeeping.

The domestic sphere, by definition, “is imagined as a place for private individuals, not political or indeed market actors.” [ 5] Due to their embeddedness in what can be considered the “ private sphere ”, some analysts have gone so far as to equate domestic laborers with members of the employers’ families, a dynamic made all the more complex by these workers' status as migrants. [ 6] Historically, they have not been regarded as the same form of labor as manufacturers or doctors. From the end of the Second World War until the mid-1980s, for instance, “most ILO Conventions explicitly excluded domestic workers from the protections afforded by most employment Conventions.” ["

"text": "\"Adopting > Domestic The Truth About Domestic Infant Adoption An adoptive mother dispels common myths about adopting a newborn in the U. S.by Eliza Newlin Carney TAGS: Adoption In the Media, Adoption Trends, Birth Family, Opening an Adoption, Reluctant Relatives When Katie and Jeffrey Davis set out to adopt a baby domestically, everyone close to the couple assumed they were in for an excruciatingly long wait. As it turned out, the Davises, who live in Baltimore, Maryland, were matched with a birth mother less than a month after their adoption agency started presenting their paperwork. Their daughter, now five, was placed in their arms just seven months after they started the adoption process. “People think that adoption takes five years, just forever and ever,” says Katie. “ They were shocked that we adopted a baby in the U. S., and that the process went so smoothly. ”Domestic Adoption Reinvented The Davis family’s story is not particularly unusual. While international adoption has commanded the limelight for the last two decades, domestic adoption has remained an untold story. Despite persistently negative and sensational media coverage, domestic adoption today is more transparent than ever before, and increasingly defined by healthier choices for birth families and adoptive families alike. The fact that more than 18,000 American families successfully adopt newborn babies in the United States every year belies the widespread misperception that domestic adoption is a difficult, time-consuming, expensive, and risky process. The truth is that most families successfully adopt within two years of beginning the process."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Agenda-setting theory describes the \"\"ability [of the news media] to influence the importance placed on the topics of the public agenda\"\". [ 1] With agenda setting being a social science theory, it also attempts to make predictions. That is, if a news item is covered frequently and prominently, the audience will regard the issue as more important. Agenda-setting theory was formally developed by Max Mc Combs and Donald Shaw in a study on the 1968 American presidential election. In the 1968 \"\"Chapel Hill study\"\", Mc Combs and Shaw demonstrated a strong correlation coefficient (r > .9) between what 100 residents of Chapel Hill, North Carolina thought was the most important election issue and what the local and national news media reported was the most important issue. [ 2] By comparing the salience of issues in news content with the public's perceptions of the most important election issue, Mc Combs and Shaw were able to determine the degree to which the media determines public opinion. Since the 1968 study, published in a 1972 edition of Public Opinion Quarterly, more than 400 studies have been published on the agenda-setting function of the mass media, and the theory continues to be regarded as relevant. Studies have shown that what the media decides to expose in certain countries correlates with their views on things such as politics, economy and culture. Countries that tend to have more political power are more likely to receive media exposure. Financial resources, technologies, foreign trade and money spent on the military can be some of the main factors that explain coverage inequality. ["

The movement's priorities vary among nations and communities and range from opposition to female genital mutilation in one country or to theglass ceiling in another. The movement began in the western world in the late 18th century and has gone through three waves. First-wave feminism was oriented around the station of middle or upper-class white women and involved suffrage and political equality. Second-wave feminism attempted to further combat social and cultural inequalities. Third-wave feminism (c.1980-c.1990)Doubtful. See talk topic: third wave started later and not ended.

[ 1] It is most often shaped by political and policy elites, but can also be influenced by non-governmental activist groups, private sector lobbyists, think tanks, courts, and world events.

The media is another factor that affects the political agenda. Global studies have found that when certain issues are covered more heavily in the media, such as through different news outlets like the radio or the newspaper, the issue is more likely to be discussed by members of parliament. [ 3] Media coverage has also been linked to the success of the rise of political parties and their ability to get their ideas on the agenda. [ 3] Although the media does often have an effect on the political agenda, these results are not always immediate. When there is a great time difference between decisions and results it is called a political agenda lag. Political agenda is also strongly tied to state centralization."

Mass communication is defined in “ Mass Media, Mass Culture” as the process whereby professional communicators use technological devices to share messages over great distances to influence large audiences. Within this process the media, which can be a newspaper, a book and television, takes control of the information we see or hear. The media then uses gatekeeping and agenda setting to “control our access to news, information, and entertainment” (Wilson 14). Gatekeeping is a series of checkpoints that the news has to go through before it gets to the public. Through this process many people have to decide whether or not the news is to bee seen or heard. Some gatekeepers might include reporters, writers, and editors. After gatekeeping comes agenda setting. Agenda Setting as defined in “ Mass Media, Mass Culture” is the process whereby the mass media determine what we think and worry about. Walter Lippmann, a journalist first observed this function, in the 1920’s."

"text": "The Definition of Integrated Behavioral Health Care The Relationship Between Integrated Behavioral Health Care and “Good Health Care” in General The Definition of Integrated Behavioral Health Care Integrated behavioral health care is an emerging field within the wider practice of high-quality, coordinated health care. In the broadest use of the term, “integrated behavioral health care” can describe any situation in which behavioral health and medical providers work together. However, for the purpose of the IBHC Measures Atlas integrated behavioral health care specifically addresses the integration of behavioral health and primary care and is defined as follows: The care a patient experiences as a result of a team of primary care and behavioral health clinicians, working together with patients and families, using a systematic and cost-effective approach to provide patient-centered care for a defined population. This care may address mental health and substance abuse conditions, health behaviors (including their contribution to chronic medical illnesses), life stressors and crises, stress-related physical symptoms, and ineffective patterns of health care utilization. The following points serve to clarify the language used in the definition of integrated behavioral health care and to provide guidance on the contexts in which the definition can be applied. The term “behavioral health” is used to emphasize the broad applicability of integrated health services in medical care. Behavioral health encompasses behavioral factors in chronic illness care, care of physical symptoms associated with stress rather than diseases, and health behaviors, as well as mental health and substance abuse conditions and diagnoses. This choice was made with recognition that the term “behavioral health” may be less familiar to some audiences than the term mental health. It is also recognized that, in some circles, “behavioral health” may be used differently than it is being used here. The intention in the IBHC Measures Atlas is to be broad and inclusive in thinking about the role of behavioral health clinicians in medical settings, not to create a debate about proper terminology."

Framing is commonly used in media studies, sociology, psychology, and political science . Contents [ show]Definitions Edit Framing refers to the social construction of a social phenomenon often by mass media sources, political or social movements, political leaders, or other actors and organizations. It is an inevitable process of selective influence over the individual's perception of the meanings attributed to words or phrases. It is generally considered in one of two ways: as frames in thought, consisting of the mental representations, interpretations, and simplifications of reality, and frames in communication, consisting of the communication of frames between different actors. [ 1] Framing might also be understood as being either equivalence frames, which represent logically equivalent alternatives portrayed in different ways (see framing effect (psychology)) or as emphasis frames, which simplify reality by focusing on a subset of relevant aspects of a situation or issue. [ 1] In the context of politics or mass media communication, a frame defines the packaging of an element of rhetoric in such a way as to encourage certain interpretations and to discourage others. In social theory, framing refers to a schema of interpretation, a collection of anecdotes and stereotypes, that individuals rely on to understand and respond to events. [ 2] In other words, people build a series of mental filters through biological and cultural influences. They use these filters to make sense of the world."

One argues that a situation determines and brings about rhetoric, another proposes that rhetoric creates “situations” by making issues salient, and yet another explores the rhetor as an artist of rhetoric, creating salience through a knowledge of commonplaces. Contents [ hide ]1 Lloyd Bitzer2 Vatz's challenge3 Consigny's Challenge4 References Lloyd Bitzer [ edit]Lloyd Bitzer began the conversation in his 1968 piece titled “The Rhetorical Situation.” Bitzer wrote that rhetorical discourse is called into existence by situation. He defined the rhetorical situation as, “A complex of persons, events, objects, and relations presenting an actual or potential exigence which can be completely or partially removed if discourse, introduced into the situation, can so constrain human decision or action as to bring about the significant modification of the exigence.” [ 1] With any rhetorical discourse, a prior rhetorical situation exists. The rhetorical situation dictates the significant physical and verbal responses as well as the sorts of observations to be made. An example of this would be a President focusing on health care policy reform because it is an apparent problem. The situation, thus, calls for the President to respond with rhetorical discourse concerning this issue."

"text": "Effective Board Meetings The Business Dictionary defines a board meeting as a ‘formal meeting of the board of directors of an organization, held usually at definite intervals to consider policy issues and major problems. Presided over by a chairperson of the organization or his or her appointee, it must meet the quorum requirements and its deliberations must be recorded in the minutes. Under the doctrine of collective responsibility, all directors (even if absent) are bound by its resolutions. ’In simpler terms, a board meeting may be described as a gathering of a company or organization’s board of directors where facts are presented on past performance and decisions made as to the future course of action. Although the primary reason for a board meeting is to facilitate decision making by board members, they also satisfy a number of additional functions. Board meetings provide a forum where: Members of the board can focus on their role and responsibility within the organization. Problems can be identified and plans can be formulated for the future. Board members can be encouraged and motivated for the benefit of the organization. Ideas are shared, discussed and then either discarded, enhanced or implemented. Accountability can be assigned for various important tasks."

Problem Identification Either public opinion or elite opinion expresses dissatisfaction with a status quo policy. The problem is defined and articulated by individuals and institutions such as mass media, interest groups, and parties.2. Agenda Setting The definition of alternatives is crucial to the policy process and outcomes. Before a policy can be formulated and adopted, the issue must compete for space on the agenda (list of items being actively considered). An idea must make it through several levels, including the broad political system agenda, the congressional and presidential agendas, and the bureaucratic agenda. Key actors in agenda setting include think tanks, interest groups, media, and government officials.3. Policy Making From the problems that have been identified and have made it onto the various agendas, policies must be formulated to address the problems. Those policy formulations then must be adopted (authorized) through the congressional process and refined through the bureaucratic process."

When a criminal conviction is set aside, the person is considered not to have been previously convicted, although sex offender registration requirements may still apply. A set aside criminal conviction typically does not affect the right of the peson convicted to rely upon the conviction to bar subsequent proceedings for the same offense, and state law may prohibit the person from commencing an action for damages for incarceration under the sentence served before the conviction is set aside. State laws vary, so local law should be consulted for specific requirements in your area. Set aside also refers to reserving a portion of public contracts to be awarded to minority or small business enterprises. Set aside programs exist in many states and vary under state laws. Set aside programs are generally established for the purpose of assuring that a state's small and small minority owned businesses have an opportunity to bid on a portion of the state’s purchases. Under such a program, a certain percentage of state funded purchases are set aside for small businesses. In some cases, an additonal portion of that percentage is reserved for small businesses which are minority/women-owned.

According to the dictionary, policy is a “definite course or method of action selected from alternatives and in light of given conditions to guide and determine present and future decisions”. So, what is a policy cycle? Organizations typically have high- and low-level policies. High-level policies govern the entire company in most or all circumstances. They are somewhat generalized and often articulate soft goals. They speak of company desires, needs, and aspirations. High-level policy doesn’t readily lend itself to procedures; instead, it takes the form of a standard, or a guideline. Low-level policy deals with a more specific set of circumstances."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search An agent-based model ( ABM) is a class of computational models for simulating the actions and interactions of autonomous agents (both individual or collective entities such as organizations or groups) with a view to assessing their effects on the system as a whole. It combines elements of game theory, complex systems, emergence, computational sociology, multi-agent systems, and evolutionary programming. Monte Carlo methods are used to introduce randomness. Particularly within ecology, ABMs are also called individual-based models ( IBMs ), [1] and individuals within IBMs may be simpler than fully autonomous agents within ABMs. A review of recent literature on individual-based models, agent-based models, and multiagent systems shows that ABMs are used on non-computing related scientific domains including biology, ecology and social science. [ 2] Agent-based modeling is related to, but distinct from, the concept of multi-agent systems or multi-agent simulation in that the goal of ABM is to search for explanatory insight into the collective behavior of agents obeying simple rules, typically in natural systems, rather than in designing agents or solving specific practical or engineering problems. [ 2]Agent-based models are a kind of microscale model [3] that simulate the simultaneous operations and interactions of multiple agents in an attempt to re-create and predict the appearance of complex phenomena. The process is one of emergence from the lower (micro) level of systems to a higher (macro) level. As such, a key notion is that simple behavioral rules generate complex behavior. This principle, known as K. I. S. S. (\"\"Keep it simple, stupid\"\"), is extensively adopted in the modeling community."

Contemporary definitions of complexity in the sciences are found in relation to systems theory, in which a phenomenon under study has many parts and many possible arrangements of the relationships between those parts. At the same time, what is complex and what is simple is relative and may change with time. [ 1]Current usage of the term \"\"complexity\"\" in the field of sociology typically refers specifically to theories of society as a complex adaptive system. However, social complexity and its emergent properties are central recurring themes throughout the historical development of social thought and the study of social change. [ 2] The early founders of sociological theory, such as Ferdinand Tönnies, Émile Durkheim, Max Weber, Vilfredo Pareto, and Georg Simmel, all examined the exponential growth and increasing interrelatedness of social encounters and exchanges. This emphasis on interconnectivity in social relationships and the emergence of new properties within society is found in theoretical thinking in multiple areas of sociology. [ 3] As a theoretical tool, social complexity theory serves as a basis for the connection of micro- and macro -level social phenomena, providing a meso-level or middle-range theoretical platform for hypothesis formation.

In the first variation, the \"\"sheep-wolves\"\" version, wolves and sheep wander randomly around the landscape, while the wolves look for sheep to prey on. Each step costs the wolves energy, and they must eat sheep in order to replenish their energy - when they run out of energy they die.

There are cases in which practical or ethical reasons make it impossible to realize direct observations: in these cases, the possibility of realizing 'in-machina' experiments may represent the only way to study, analyze and evaluate models of those realities. Different situations and systems are characterized by the presence of autonomous entities whose local behaviors (actions and interactions) determine the evolution of the overall system; agent-based models are particularly suited to support the definition of models of such systems, but also to support the design and implementation of simulators. Agent-Based models and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have been adopted to simulate very different kinds of complex systems, from the simulation of socio-economic systems to the elaboration of scenarios for logistics optimization, from biological systems to urban planning. This paper discusses the specific aspects of this approach to modeling and simulation from the perspective of Informatics, describing the typical elements of an agent-based simulation model and the relevant research. Keywords: Multi-Agent Systems, Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation Introduction1.1 The term computer simulation means the usage of a computational model to gain additional insight into a complex system's behavior (e.g. biological or social systems) by envisioning the implications of the modeling choices, but also to evaluate designs and plans without actually bringing them into existence in the real world (e.g. architectural designs, road networks and traffic lights). The usage of these \"\"synthetic environments\"\" is in fact often necessary because the simulated system cannot actually be observed (since it is actually being designed), or also for ethical (e.g. the safety of humans would be involved) or practical reasons (e.g. costs of experiments or data acquisition, observation of systems characterized by a very slow evolution). A general schema (based on several elaborations, such as those described in Gilbert and Troitzsch ( 2005) and Edmonds ( 2001) describing the role of simulation as a predictive or explanatory instrument is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. A general schema describing the usage of simulation as a predictive or explanatory instrument.1.2 Many situations and subsystems can be viewed as being characterized by the presence of a number of autonomous entities whose behaviors (actions and interactions) determine (in a non-trivial way) the evolution of the overall system."

If the receiver uses a polling email delivery protocol, the final step from the last mail delivery agent to the client is done using a poll. Post Office Protocol (POP3) is an example of a polling email delivery protocol. At login and later at intervals, the mail user agent (client) polls the mail delivery agent (server) to see if there is new mail, and if so downloads it to a mailbox on the user's computer. Extending the \"\"push\"\" to the last delivery step is what distinguishes push email from polling email systems. The reason that polling is often used for the last stage of mail delivery is that, although the server mail delivery agent would normally be permanently connected to the network, it does not necessarily know how to locate the client mail user agent, which may only be connected occasionally and also change network address quite often. For example, a user with a laptop on a Wi-Fi connection may be assigned different addresses from the network DHCP server periodically and have no persistent network name. When new mail arrives to the mail server, it does not know what address the client is currently assigned."

( February 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Impression of systems thinking about society Systems science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the nature of systems —from simple to complex—in nature, society, cognition, and science itself. To systems scientists, the world can be understood as a system of systems. [ 1] The field aims to develop interdisciplinary foundations that are applicable in a variety of areas, such as psychology, biology, medicine, communication, business management, engineering, and social sciences. [ 2]Systems science covers formal sciences such as complex systems, cybernetics, dynamical systems theory, information theory, linguistics or systems theory. It has applications in the field of the natural and social sciences and engineering, such as control theory, operations research, social systems theory, systems biology, system dynamics, human factors, systems ecology, systems engineering and systems psychology. [ 3] Themes commonly stressed in system science are (a) holistic view, (b) interaction between a system and its embedding environment, and (c) complex (often subtle) trajectories of dynamic behavior that sometimes are stable (and thus reinforcing), while at various 'boundary conditions' can become wildly unstable (and thus destructive). Concerns about Earth-scale biosphere/geosphere dynamics is an example of the nature of problems to which systems science seeks to contribute meaningful insights."

Computation Institute, The University of Chicago Chicago USAArticle First Online: 02 September 20108Shares17k Downloads420Citations Abstract Agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS) is a relatively new approach to modelling systems composed of autonomous, interacting agents. Agent-based modelling is a way to model the dynamics of complex systems and complex adaptive systems. Such systems often self-organize themselves and create emergent order. Agent-based models also include models of behaviour (human or otherwise) and are used to observe the collective effects of agent behaviours and interactions. The development of agent modelling tools, the availability of micro-data, and advances in computation have made possible a growing number of agent-based applications across a variety of domains and disciplines. This article provides a brief introduction to ABMS, illustrates the main concepts and foundations, discusses some recent applications across a variety of disciplines, and identifies methods and toolkits for developing agent models.

SDL originally focused on telecommunication systems; As of 2016 its current areas of application include process control and real-time applications in general. Due to its nature it can be used to represent simulation systems [1] without ambiguity and with a graphical notation. The Specification and Description Language provides both a graphical Graphic Representation (SDL/GR) as well as a textual Phrase Representation (SDL/PR), which are both equivalent representations of the same underlying semantics. Models are usually shown in the graphical SDL/GR form, and SDL/PR is mainly used for exchanging models between tools. A system is specified as a set of interconnected abstract machines which are extensions of finite state machines (FSM). The language is formally complete, [2] so it can be used for code generation for either simulation or final targets. The Specification and Description Language covers five main aspects: structure, communication, behavior, data, and inheritance. The behavior of components is explained by partitioning the system into a series of hierarchies."

"text": "\"Service Desk Metrics 101 | Agent Metrics Published on August 26, 2014Metric Net LLCFollow Sign in to follow this author IT Service and Support Benchmarking Annual Agent Turnover Definition: Annual Agent Turnover is the percentage of Agents that leave the Service Desk, for any reason (voluntarily or involuntarily), on an annual basis. Importance: Agent turnover is costly. Each time an Agent leaves the Service Desk, a new Agent needs to be hired to replace the outgoing Agent. This results in costly recruiting, hiring, and training expenses. Additionally, it is typically several weeks or even months before an Agent is fully productive, so there is lost productivity associated with Agent turnover as well. High Agent turnover is generally associated with low Agent morale in a Service Desk. Key Correlations: Annual Agent Turnover is strongly correlated with the following metrics: Daily Agent Absenteeism Annual Agent Training Hours Customer Satisfaction Net First Contact Resolution Rate Cost per Inbound Contact Agent Job Satisfaction Daily Agent Absenteeism Definition: Daily Agent Absenteeism is the average percentage of Agents with an unexcused absence on any given day. It is calculated by dividing the number of absent Agents by the total number of Agents that are scheduled to be at work. Importance: High Agent Absenteeism is problematic because it makes it difficult for a Service Desk to schedule resources efficiently. High absenteeism can severely impact a Service Desk’s operating performance, and increase the likelihood that service level targets will be missed."

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

These job categories are primarily based on average skill levels, knowledge, and responsibility involved in each occupation within the job category. They are not industry based. The examples presented below are illustrative and not intended to be exhaustive of all job titles in a job category. The Officials and Managers category as a whole is divided into the following two subcategories: Executive/Senior Level Officials and Managers and First/Mid Level Officials and Managers. These subcategories are intended to mirror the employer's own well-established hierarchy of management positions. The subcategories will allow assessment of the extent to which minorities and women have access to power and decision making jobs in the employer's workforce. Small employers who may not have two well-defined hierarchical steps of management should report their management employees in the appropriate category.1.1. Executive/Senior Level Officials and Managers: Individuals who plan, direct and formulate policies, set strategy and provide the overall direction of enterprises/organizations for the development and delivery of products and services, within the parameters approved by boards of directors or other governing bodies.

"text": "Workplace Exacerbation of Asthma Research A 2003 statement of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) included the observation that asthma exacerbated by conditions at work was likely to be responsible for as much illness and loss of productivity as asthma caused by work. However, workplace exacerbation of asthma (WEA) had received little attention from clinicians, researchers, and public health officials. More research on the frequency and causes of WEA was needed to guide preventive actions. Dr. Paul Henneberger and others in the Respiratory Disease Research Program at NIOSH recognized this need and took action. Initially, they conducted descriptive studies of WEA by collaborating with research institutions in Maine and Colorado, and by summarizing data collected by NIOSH-supported SENSOR surveillance programs in California, Massachusetts, Michigan, and New Jersey. Then, they successfully competed for National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) funds that supported a 5-year study of WEA. This NORA research project also benefited from additional financial support from the National Center for Environmental Health. Additional investigations followed. As of December 2014, the Respiratory Disease Research Program has produced more publications on WEA than any other research center in the world, with 13 articles in peer-reviewed journals, three book chapters, and an online educational unit (see below). The findings from several of these articles indicate that WEA is common, occurring in approximately one-fourth of working adults with asthma."

"text": "\"Health OSHA's Other Recordkeeping Standard: Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records If you think this standard applies only to medical charts, you could be in for a very rude surprise. John Rekus | Nov 16, 2003hen most people hear the phrase \"\"OSHA recordkeeping,\"\" they think of the log of occupational illnesses and injuries required by 29 CFR104, but OSHA has another recordkeeping standard. It is not recordkeeping in the sense of collecting statistical data, but recordkeeping in the literal sense, retaining records, and the retention period is significant at least 30 years. So what is this other recordkeeping regulation? It is \"\"Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records,\"\" 29 CFR1910.1020. It may be viewed as a companion standard to the hazard communication rule. While hazard communication requires that employees be informed of the hazards posed by chemicals to which they may be exposed and the precautions to take when working with those chemicals, \"\"Access to Exposure and Medical Records\"\" allows them to examine the results of monitoring that measured their level of exposure to those chemicals, and any medical records that might provide information about whether or not their health status was affected by their exposure. Unlike hazard communication, which addresses only chemical hazards, the access rule also includes exposure to biological hazards such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, and physical hazards such as radiation and vibration. Many OSH practitioners are blissfully unaware of the obligation to retain certain records, such as the results of employee air sampling, for three decades. Three factors contribute to this ignorance."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The threshold limit value ( TLV) of a chemical substance is believed to be a level to which a worker can be exposed day after day for a working lifetime without adverse effects. Strictly speaking, TLV is a reserved term of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). TLVs issued by the ACGIH are the most widely accepted occupational exposure limits both in the United States and most other countries. [ 1] However, it is sometimes loosely used to refer to other similar concepts used in occupational health and toxicology, such as acceptable daily intake (ADI) and tolerable daily intake (TDI). Concepts such as TLV, ADI, and TDI can be compared to the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) in animal testing, but whereas a NOAEL can be established experimentally during a short period, TLV, ADI, and TDI apply to human beings over a lifetime and thus are harder to test empirically and are usually set at lower levels. TLVs, along with biological exposure indices (BEIs), are published annually by the ACGIH. The TLV is an estimate based on the known toxicity in humans or animals of a given chemical substance, and the reliability and accuracy of the latest sampling and analytical methods. It is not a static definition since new research can often modify the risk assessment of substances and new laboratory or instrumental analysis methods can improve analytical detection limits. The TLV is a recommendation by ACGIH, with only a guideline status. As such, it should not be confused with exposure limits having a regulatory status, like those published and enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)."

"text": "Social Institutions First published Thu Jan 4, 2007; substantive revision Tue Feb 8, 2011The term, “social institution” is somewhat unclear both in ordinary language and in the philosophical literature (see below). However, contemporary sociology is somewhat more consistent in its use of the term. Typically, contemporary sociologists use the term to refer to complex social forms that reproduce themselves such as governments, the family, human languages, universities, hospitals, business corporations, and legal systems. A typical definition is that proffered by Jonathan Turner (Turner 1997: 6): “a complex of positions, roles, norms and values lodged in particular types of social structures and organising relatively stable patterns of human activity with respect to fundamental problems in producing life-sustaining resources, in reproducing individuals, and in sustaining viable societal structures within a given environment.” Again, Anthony Giddens says (Giddens 1984: 24): “Institutions by definition are the more enduring features of social life.” He (Giddens 1984: 31) goes on to list as institutional orders, modes of discourse, political institutions, economic institutions and legal institutions. The contemporary philosopher of social science, Rom Harre follows the theoretical sociologists in offering this kind of definition (Harre 1979: 98): “An institution was defined as an interlocking double-structure of persons-as-role-holders or office-bearers and the like, and of social practices involving both expressive and practical aims and outcomes.” He gives as examples (Harre 1979: 97) schools, shops, post offices, police forces, asylums and the British monarchy. In this entry the above-noted contemporary sociological usage will be followed. Doing so has the virtue of grounding philosophical theory in the most salient empirical discipline, namely, sociology."

The MSDS is a detailed informational document prepared by the manufacturer or importer of a hazardous chemical. It describes the physical and chemical properties of the product. MSDS's contain useful information such as flash point, toxicity, procedures for spills and leaks, and storage guidelines. Information included in a Material Safety Data Sheet aids in the selection of safe products, helps you understand the potential health and physical hazards of a chemical and describes how to respond effectively to exposure situations. Although there is an effort currently underway to standardizes MSDS's the quality of individual MSDS's vary. A MSDS may be useful but it can not substitute for prudent practices and comprehensive risk management. They are required as a part of any compliance obligation to be available and displayed prominently in the workplace. The public has a right to MSDS data upon request. They must be written in English and contain: The name of the chemical (same as on the label)the chemical and common names of the substancea listing of the ingredientsa statement of the ingredients that are known carcinogens or that present other known hazardsany specific hazards In general, if your business uses hazardous chemicals (as opposed to manufacturing or importing them for sale to others) you should be able to obtain a MSDS from the manufacturer, so that you can post it in the workplace and keep it in your records."

"text": "Corruption First published Wed Sep 14, 2005; substantive revision Wed Feb 2, 2011The causes and effects of corruption, and how to combat corruption, are issues that are increasingly on the national and international agendas of politicians and other policymakers. For example, the World Bank has relatively recently come around to the view that economic development is closely linked to corruption reduction (World Bank 1997) and there have been numerous anti-corruption initiatives in multiple jurisdictions (Heidenheimer and Johnston 2002; Preston and Sampford 2002). Moreover, the very recent Global Financial Crisis has revealed financial corruption, and spurred regulators to consider various anti-corruption measures by way of response. By contrast, the concept of corruption has not received much attention. [ 1] Existing conceptual work on corruption consists in little more than the presentation of brief definitions of corruption as a preliminary to extended accounts of the causes and effects of corruption and the ways to combat it. [ 2] Moreover, most of these definitions of corruption are unsatisfactory in fairly obvious ways. [ 3]1. Varieties of Corruption2.

For example, one dictionary defines hazard as \"\"a danger or risk\"\" which helps explain why many people use the terms interchangeably. There are many definitions for hazard but the most common definition when talking about workplace health and safety is: A hazard is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or someone. The CSA Z1002 Standard \"\"Occupational health and safety - Hazard identification and elimination and risk assessment and control\"\" uses the following terms: Harm - physical injury or damage to health. Hazard - a potential source of harm to a worker. Basically, a hazard is the potential for harm or an adverse effect (for example, to people as health effects, to organizations as property or equipment losses, or to the environment). Sometimes the resulting harm is referred to as the hazard instead of the actual source of the hazard. For example, the disease tuberculosis (TB) might be called a \"\"hazard\"\" by some but, in general, the TB-causing bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) would be considered the \"\"hazard\"\" or \"\"hazardous biological agent\"\"."

Exposure assessment is a branch of environmental science that attempts to characterize how these contaminants behave in the environment and subsequently result in human exposure. The goal of an exposure assessment applied in the traditional environmental health context is to quantitatively measure how much of an agent can be absorbed by an exposed population, in what form are they exposed, at what rate is exposure occurring, and how much of the absorbed amount is actually available to produce a biological effect This module is intended to provide an introductory overview to exposure assessments. This module offers a basic understanding of the steps and key considerations involved in designing and conducting an exposure assessment, mainly in the context of epidemiological studies. Learning Objectives After completing this module, users will be able to: Describe the basic concepts and role of exposure assessment in several different contexts Discuss a conceptual model for the relationship between source, receptor, and health outcome Explain the importance of designing an exposure assessment strategy according to specific well-defined objectives Summarize the different types of exposure indices and describe the strengths and limitations of each Identify the issues that should be considered when designing a study, and explain why each is important Compare and contrast systematic and random error and describe the potential effects of each type Describe some of the methods involved in air, dermal, noise, and biological monitoring Overview According to the EPA, an exposure assessment is the \"\"process of measuring or estimating the magnitude, frequency, and duration of human exposure to an agent in the environment, or estimating future exposures for an agent that has not yet been released.\"\" Exposure assessments attempt to address some of the following questions. Who or what is exposed? Does the exposure occur through breathing air, drinking water, skin contact, or any other route? How much exposure occurs? How often and for how long does exposure occur?"

"text": "\"Agent Orange, a toxic herbicide used by the United States, Korea, Canada, and several other countries between 1950 and 1971, has been found to be extremely detrimental to human health. Unlike exposure to other toxins, many Agent Orange symptoms tend to take several years to decades to present, and can cause a host of health issues. Initial symptoms tend to include common side effects found with many other illnesses, as well as neurological and psychological problems. Exposure to this herbicide can also result in the development of a variety of cancers, heart diseases, and other health conditions, as well as mild to severe birth defects in the children of those exposed. Initial exposure can result in mild to severe symptoms. Queasiness and vomiting tend to be the most common, and a person may develop kidney stones or ulcers. Other intestinal symptoms of Agent Orange include jaundice, stomach pain, and liver irritation. These Agent Orange effects typically occur shortly after contact with the herbicide, although some people may not have any symptoms of exposure until well afterward. This herbicide can also cause severe neurological and emotional symptoms, which may become apparent directly after exposure or several years later. Headaches and odd sensations throughout the body, including tingling and numbness, are some of the most common Agent Orange symptoms."

Some Vietnam veterans have been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and others have expressed concern about developing this illness. Some research has suggested that chronic lymphocytic leukemia may be associated to exposure with herbicides, but there is no conclusive evidence that Agent Orange or other herbicides used in Vietnam cause this condition. About 31,000 Americans are diagnosed with leukemia annually and about 22,000 die from it. In 2002, leukemias account for about 2.5% of new cancer cases and about 4% of cancer deaths.

Is it possible that I have a problem with orange juice? I was noticing that I always seem to get cramps shortly after drinking a glass of OJ. Answer Orange juice is an acidic liquid. Therefore, if you suffer from 'dyspepsia', meaning pain or heartburn with various foods, then orange juice may make this worse. The medical conditions that can underlie dyspepsia include too much acid production by the stomach, an inflammation of the stomach line (\"\"gastritis\"\"), or a stomach ulcer. Dyspepsia is a symptom that should be medically investigated, because all of the possible causes have excellent medical treatments available. Furthermore, sustained acid reflux or heartburn symptoms can put one at risk of esophageal cancer later in life, and stomach ulcer can rarely cause life threatening bleeding."

Related Products MORECalifornia Workers' Comp Nolo's Guide to Social Security Disability It is often very difficult to produce evidence that an illness is linked to Agent Orange exposure. As a result, for many years veterans with Agent Orange-related diseases were denied disability compensation by the VA. This changed in 1991. Presumptive Service Connection Presumptive service connection is a much easier way to qualify for compensation than having to prove a direct service connection. This is because, for presumptive service connection, you don't have to prove an incident of exposure of Agent Orange or that your disease was caused by Agent Orange. If you have certain diseases, the VA “presumes” both Agent Orange exposure and that this exposure caused the disease, as long as there isn’t medical evidence that something else caused your illness. Due to the Agent Orange Act of 1991, the VA now acknowledges certain cancers and other diseases as caused by Agent Orange. This means that veterans with these recognized diseases can qualify for disability compensation under “presumptive service connection.” However, many special rules apply."

Despite the US's superior firepower against the guerilla forces of the enemy, the two sides fought to a highly destructive draw. In the US, increased casualties and higher taxes to support the war lead to great public dissatisfaction and a growing anti-war movement. In January 1968, the Tet Offensive began a new phase with savage attacks on the cities of South Vietnam. In May of 1968, the US began peace negotiations, which eventually broke down."

The dioxin TCDD present in Agent Orange is extremely toxic and is categorized as a human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The spraying of gallons of toxic herbicides, like Agent Orange, by the U. S. military forces during the Vietnam War was a way to counteract the guerrilla warfare tactics of their enemy. However, the use of these chemicals led to serious health implications for the soldiers of both countries. Even today, the general Vietnamese population is experiencing a wide range of severe illnesses as a result of the exposure. War veterans who were exposed to the toxic chemicals developed a wide range of medical conditions. The incidence of diabetes and thyroid problems was significantly higher in veterans who had come in contact with the herbicide. The medical conditions that have been associated with the exposure to Agent Orange are discussed below."

"text": "Chapter 2 Service-connected Disabilities Federal Benefits for Veterans, Dependents and Survivors Federal Benefits for Veterans, Dependents and Survivors Disability Compensation Disability compensation is a monetary benefit paid to Veterans who are determined by VA to be disabled by an injury or illness that was incurred or aggravated during active military service. These disabilities are considered to be service connected. To be eligible for compensation, the Veteran must have been separated or discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. Monthly disability compensation varies with the degree of disability and the number of eligible dependents. Veterans with certain severe disabilities may be eligible for additional special monthly compensation (SMC). Disability compensation benefits are not subject to federal or state income tax. The payment of military retirement pay, disability severance pay and separation incentive payments, known as Special Separation Benefit (SSB) and Voluntary Separation Incentive (VSI), may affect the amount of VA compensation paid to disabled Veterans. For additional details on types of disability claims and how to apply, go to www.benefits.va.gov/benefits/ or apply online at www.ebenefits.va.gov/. * Veterans with disability ratings of at least 30 percent are eligible for additional allowances for dependents, including spouses, minor children, children between the ages of 18 and 23 who are attending school, children who are permanently incapable of self-support because of a disability arising before age 18, and dependent parents. The additional amount depends on the disability rating and the number of dependents. Additional Benefits for Eligible Military Retirees Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) is a Do D program that allows some individuals to receive both military retired pay and VA disability compensation."

"text": "Guidelines for Veterans – Agent Orange and Peripheral Neuropathy By Lt Col Eugene B Richardson, USA (Retired) BA, MDiv, Ed M, MS 43 Comments Note: You may find this information on Agent Orange and Peripheral Neuropathy somewhat overwhelming. Therefore do not hesitate to give a copy of this document to a Service Officer from one of the veterans’ organizations. You will help educate them and give them more tools to help you. One of the most important items in these guidelines are the references to substantiate certain facts regarding the difficulty with the ‘early onset’ requirement by the VA. If you were on the ground in Vietnam the VA law now presumes you were exposed to Agent Orange/Toxic Herbicides, the VA law now recognizes that Agent Orange or Toxic Herbicides cause Chronic Peripheral Neuropathy (or any diagnosis related to PN) so you DO NOT HAVE TO PROVE this by VA law. The one trick the VA and IOM put in the new law is the requirement of EARLY ONSET and this is a bogus requirement. See more below on how to challenge this part of the law. Here is how to work an application or appeal and the references that you should use in the appeal: First, you will find all that you need to know in the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) booklet to submit an Agent Orange / Toxic Herbicides claim for yourself, or for surviving family members of deceased Vietnam veterans, or for biological children of Vietnam veterans born with certain birth defects (listed in the booklet), or for incarcerated Vietnam veterans and information on other benefits available to Vietnam veteran’s with Agent Orange or toxic herbicides related illnesses. To print a copy of the VVA booklet click on this title: The VVA Self Help Guide to Service Connected Disability Compensation for Exposure to Agent Orange: For Veterans and Their Families”. Then in the RIGHT column, click on the booklet and print!Next, we highly recommend that you find a Service Officer from the VVA."

"text": "Visit our Health Index for More Subjects, Conditions and Answers Agent Orangeand Neuropathy (nerve damage)and Other Problems How it happened and what can be done for relief Almost 20 million gallons of herbicides were dumped on Vietnam between 1962 and 1971 to kill jungle foliage with the aim of exposing enemy targets. It was used to prevent the communist forces from using the jungle for cover, to destroy their food supply and to clear areas of the jungle for U. S. occupation. The U. S. Army heavily sprayed areas of inland forest in the demarcation zone, along the borders of Cambodia, Laos and South Vietnam and areas north and northwest of Saigon. There was also heavy spraying in the mangrove forests on the southernmost peninsula of Vietnam and along the major shipping channels southeast of Saigon. Shortly following their military service in Vietnam, some veterans reported a variety of health problems and concerns which some of them attributed to exposure to Agent Orange or other herbicides. Agent Orange contains dioxin, which has known biological and physical effects. Both Vietnamese citizens and war veterans have experienced health problems as a result of Agent Orange exposure. Health problems include birth defects, skin diseases and peripheral neuropathy. Agent Orange may also be responsible for some instances of Parkinson's and heart diseases. Physical and Neurological Effects of Agent Orange According to the World Health Organization, short-term exposure to high levels of dioxins causes skin damage and altered liver function."

Approximately 2.7 million American men and women served in Vietnam. During the war, more than 58,000 servicemen and women lost their lives. Vietnam Veterans represent the largest cohort of American Veterans in terms of service era. While the majority of Vietnam Veterans successfully readjusted to postwar life,a substantial minority of Vietnam-era Veterans have suffered from a variety of psychological problems, and have experienced a wide range of life-adjustment problems. During the Vietnam War, the U. S. military used more than 19 million gallons of various herbicides for defoliation and crop destruction in the Republic of Vietnam. Veterans who served in Vietnam anytime during the period beginning Jan. 9, 1962, and ending May 7, 1975, are presumed to have been exposed to herbicides. VA established an Agent Orange Registry to study the health effects associated with exposure to herbicides such as Agent Orange. Veterans who served in Vietnam, or in other areas throughout the world where herbicide was sprayed, who are interested in participating in an Agent Orange Registry health exam should speak to the environmental health coordinator or patient care advocate at their local VA medical center. VA's War Related Illness and Injury Study Center, (WRIISC), located at the VA medical centers in Palo Alto, Calif.; Washington, D. C.; and East Orange, N. J., develops and provides post-deployment health expertise to Vietnam Veterans and their health care providers through clinical programs, research, education, and risk communication."

Now that the premiere is confirmed it is sure to delight fans, who were hooked by a dramatic and successful Season 1 for the series. ( Photo by Bob D'Amico – © 2013 American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.) Still of Ming-Na Wen, Clark Gregg, Iain De Caestecker, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet and Elizabeth Henstridge in Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D. In cast rumors surrounding Season 2, it has been touted that there will be a new agent joining the cast, and that should add a bit more drama into the mix. Agents of Shield Season 1 started well and got even better as it went along, and ended very strongly with some dramatic storylines, and a strong plot that was praised by many critics. Producers did well in the end for Season 1, as there were obviously huge expectations for the show, and it was tough to get going as the series found it hard to maintain returning viewers amid lukewarm initial critical reviews. However, a strong showing in the final third of the debut season has ensured many are eagerly awaiting Season 2, and they will be hoping for more of what they saw towards the climax. ABC has confirmed that the show will have its Season 2 premiere date on Tuesday night on September 23, 2014, however, fans should be aware that a new time slot has been agreed for the new season. That means fans will have to look out for the show at 9 p.m. ET from now on. According to TV Line, the cast line up will be added to when the show returns. The publication has released a spoiler claiming that a \"\"ruggedly handsome, physically fit actor to play a character who can escape any situation, is a bit of a wild card and, though he's mostly interested in personal gain, always ends up doing the right thing. \"\""

We predict the Once Upon a Time Season 6 release date on Netflix!Once Upon a Time is one of the hottest shows and most popular shows on TV and on Netflix right now. Accordingly, fans want to know exactly when the Once Upon a Time Season 6 release date on Netflix will be. Of course, that’s where we can help out because we follow all the Netflix news and patterns with the release dates. UPDATE: Once Upon a Time season 6 hits Netflix on August 25!So, when will Once Upon a Time Season 6 be on Netflix? Some ABC shows, including Scandal, Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, and Grey’s Anatomy, are added to Netflix 30 days after the season finale airs on ABC. Unfortunately, Once Upon a Time is not included in those shows, likely, because ABC can sell seasons of Once Upon a Time on DVD and Blu-Ray. Old seasons of Once Upon a Time are added to Netflix exactly 30 days before the new season airs on ABC. Assuming Once Upon a Time is renewed for a seventh season, and there’s indication that it will be back for another season on the streaming service, we are expecting Once Upon a Time Season 7 to premiere at the end of September 2017. Because old seasons of the series are added to Netflix exactly 30 days before the new season premieres on ABC, we anticipate the Once Upon a Time Season 6 release date on Netflix will be at the end of August 2017."

For the revival television series, see Twin Peaks (2017). For the eponymous town, see Twin Peaks, Washington. Twin Peaks is an American television serial drama created by Mark Frost and David Lynch. The series initially follows the investigation – headed by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper ( Kyle Mac Lachlan) – of the brutal murder of a popular teenager and homecoming queen, Laura Palmer ( Sheryl Lee ). The pilot was first broadcast on April 8, 1990, on the ABC Network, which led to another seven episodes being produced, and a second season, which aired until June 10, 1991. The show's name came from its setting, a small fictional Washington town. Exteriors were primarily filmed in Snoqualmie and North Bend, Washington; most of the interior scenes were shot on standing sets in a San Fernando Valley warehouse (excluding the pilot, which was filmed in Washington state). Twin Peaks became one of 1990's top-rated shows, a critical success both nationally and internationally. Reflecting its devoted cult fan base, the series became a part of popular culture, referenced in other television shows, commercials, comic books, video games, films and song lyrics."

D.’ Is Finally Coming to Netflix This Week By Merrill Barr11.16.201443 Comments46.2K Shares Share On Facebook Tweet Share Email Share Share Pin It Share Comment Advertising [x]Marvel’s Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D. will always be a proof of concept show – Marvel Television’s chance to prove it can stand on its own without existing source material. In some ways, it works great, but it other ways, it falters. That said, in the end, it’s an enjoyable series, even if there’s one aspect to its business model that continues to annoy viewers. With season 2 going strong, many are still baffled by the fact that S. H. I. E. L. D. is still not available in an easily accessible SVOD format, especially when both Disney and ABC have respective deals with Netflix already, and most Marvel movies are already available on the service. However, a new report claims that’s all about the change. According to Variety, Marvel Television and Netflix have finally settled on a roll out date for season 1 of Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D.: November 20th. This deal couldn’t have come any more under the wire as Marvel Television and Netflix are currently hard at work on the first of four new series, Daredevil to be specific, which will be used to launch a new “ Defenders Saga ” on the service. Since Marvel Television hopes to tie all its entities together the same way the movies are, having all their series available for fans in a single place should be a top priority. Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock a.k.a Daredevil Advertising [x]What’s unknown is why it’s taken so long for S. H. I. E. L. D. to hit the digital platform, especially when all other ABC shows currently run a model that see the previous season of a series hit the service just prior to the premiere of the next. One theory could be Marvel was hoping to get more sales out of the DVD and Blu-ray release of the show, as a digital roll-out could dramatically diminish physical disc sales (which run upwards of $50 a pop)."

Select your browser plugin to view instructions: Ad Block Adblock Plus By Adam Holmes2 years ago For months, Agent Carter fans have been wringing their hands wondering if the limited series would be returning, but they can rest easy now. Last week, ABC announced that Agent Carter will be returning for Season 2, giving both Marvel fans and casual viewers more Peggy Carter adventures for the small screen. Now the network has revealed not only when we can expect to see the show return but a few plot details to whet our appetite, as well. Earlier today, as part of ABC's upfront decision-making, it was announced that Agent Carter will retain its status as a midseason show, taking Agents Of S. H. I. E. L. D. ’s timeslot while that show goes on hiatus in January. ABC didn’t say how many episodes will be in the new season, but if Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D. will be gone for the same amount of time, it will probably be around 8 again. The network also released a description for what we can expect from Agent Carter Season 2. Dedicated to the fight against new atomic age threats in the wake of World War II, Peggy must now journey from New York City to Los Angeles for her most dangerous assignment yet. But even as she discovers new friends, a new home — and perhaps even a new love — she’s about to find out that the bright lights of the post-war Hollywood mask a more sinister threat to everyone she is sworn to protect."

Since then, it has become “big business” and there is a wealth of biased information available. How did people feed dogs before tinned and dry food became available? What nutritional problems did they encounter? Who advised them on how to feed their dogs? The answers are all quite simple. Dogs were fed fresh meat, bones, and left over table scraps. The nutritional problems were very few and simple to correct. Eg. Calcium deficiency, Rickets and Hypervitaminosis A. It was during the post‐war era of the 1950’s and 60’s, that processed foods began to gain popularity."

The life-support processes of even the most structurally simple organism involve a large number of complex biochemical reactions. Most, although not all, of the biochemical processes of bacteria also occur in eukaryotic microbes and in the cells of multicellular organisms, including humans. However, the reactions that are unique to bacteria are fascinating because they allow microorganisms to do things we cannot do. For example, some bacteria can live on cellulose, whereas others can live on petroleum. Through their metabolism, bacteria recycle elements after other organisms have used them. Still other bacteria can live on diets of such inorganic substances as carbon dioxide, iron, sulfur, hydrogen gas, and ammonia. This chapter examines some representative chemical reactions that either produce energy (the catabolic reactions) or use energy (the anabolic reactions) in microorganisms. We will also look at how these various reactions are integrated within the cell. Q&A E. coli O157."

Both proteins and nucleic acids may be separated by electrophoresis, which is a simple, rapid, and sensitive analytical tool. Most biological molecules carry a net charge at any p H other than their isoelectric point and will migrate at a rate proportional to their charge density. The mobility of a molecule through an electric field will depend on the following factors: field strength, net charge on the molecule, size and shape of the molecule, ionic strength, and properties of the matrix through which the molecule migrates (e.g., viscosity, pore size). Polyacrylamide and agarose are two support matrices commonly used in electrophoresis. These matrices serve as porous media and behave like a molecular sieve. Agarose has a large pore size and is suitable for separating nucleic acids and protein complexes. Polyacrylamide has a smaller pore size and is ideal for separating most proteins and smaller nucleic acids. Page contents What is protein electrophoresis?

Some of these are food science applications that utilize enzymes to produce or make improvements in the quality of different foods. In the dairy industry, some enzymes are required for the production of cheeses, yogurt, and other dairy products, while others are used in a more specialized fashion to improve texture or flavor. Five of the more common types of enzymes and their role in the dairy industry are described below. Rennet Milk contains proteins, specifically caseins, that maintain its liquid form. Proteases are enzymes that are added to milk during cheese production, to hydrolyze caseins, specifically kappa casein, which stabilizes micelle formation preventing coagulation. Rennet and rennin are general terms for any enzyme used to coagulate milk. Technically rennet is also the term for the lining of a calf's fourth stomach. The most common enzyme isolated from rennet is chymosin. Chymosin can also be obtained from several other animal, microbial or vegetable sources, but indigenous microbial chymosin (from fungi or bacteria) is ineffective for making cheddar and other hard cheeses."

They are to add 5 drops of concentrated nitric acid to 10 drops of two amino acid solutions, either 0.02% tryptophan or 0.005% tyrosine (may need a bit of Na OH to dissolve); tubes should be quite dry since even a few drops of water may dilute the nitric acid enough to prevent nitration.

Smith Author of Reversing Cancer: A Journey from Cancer to Cure It is estimated that 70% of all medical illnesses are directly or indirectly caused by human intervention in the dental structures (teeth and jawbones). This includes: impacted teeth, infected root canalled teeth, new and recurrent decay around old fillings, cysts, bone infections in areas of previously extracted teeth, granulomas and areas of bone condensation to osteitis represent some of the more common factors. Toxicity from dental restorative materials Dental amalgam fillings slowly leak mercury, tin, silver, copper and sometimes nickel. All of these metals have various degrees of toxicity. A fairly large mercury filling contains enough mercury to kill a child if given as a single dose!The most common symptoms caused by amalgam fillings are: Chronic fatigue Tendency to chronic inflammatory changes- rheumatoid arthritis, phlebitis fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome Chronic neurologic illnesses, especially when numbness is one of the primary symptoms Lowering of pain threshold Allergy to dental materials used to restore teeth Having an allergic response to dental materials (gold alloys that include palladium, silver, platinum, iridium, mercury fillings, acrylic denture material which contains methyl methacrylate, chrome cobalt partial denture framework, nickel based crowns, composite resin crowns containing polyurethane) is a common cause of intractable pain, chronic fatigue, food allergies, chronic sinusitis and headaches. Use of dental liners, that is, bases under permanent restorative filling materials can also be the causative agent for an allergic response and body toxicity. A new toxicity disorder discovered by Dr. Omar M. Amin, Ph. D., Neurocutaneous syndrome (NCS), linked components (ethyltoluene sulfonamide and zinc oxide) in the calcium hydroxide dental bases (Dycal, Life and Sealapex) as sources for the observed symptoms of NCS. The neurological aspects of NCS are characterized by pinprick and/or creeping, painful and irritating movement sensations, often interpreted as parasite movements subcutaneously or in various body tissues or cavities including the head. In no case was the movement sensation related to parasites, which were always found absent."

If yes - how often? How to prevent it or check if there are any changes? What time and temperature of storage is safe for protein? Protein Interactions Protein Chemistry Protein Structure Protein Stability Proteins Share1 Recommendation Popular Answers ( 1)5 years ago Klavs Dolmer University of Illinois at Chicago6-8M urea should enough to denature your protein. For long-term storage before refolding studies, I would use 6M Guanidine HCl. If you prefer urea, I would freeze the samples at -80 to avoid chemical changes.3 Recommendations All Answers ( 23)5 years ago Arne Raasakka University of Bergen Do remember that urea is a chaotrope and at moderate to high concentrations denatures proteins/protein domains. Its chaotropic nature however does actually arise from its tendency to increase total entropy, ergo, it can be countered by storage at very low temperatures and as such shouldn't denature proteins as efficiently than at ambient temperature. Just remember that at low temperatures you may cause the urea to precipitate if you're using saturated solutions. To prevent the denaturation of your protein you may add agents that promote protein stability."

"text": "\"Denaturation of Proteins Introduction: Denaturation of proteins involves the disruption and possible destruction of both the secondary and tertiary structures. Since denaturation reactions are not strong enough to break the peptide bonds, the primary structure (sequence of amino acids) remains the same after a denaturation process. Denaturation disrupts the normal alpha-helix and beta sheets in a protein and uncoils it into a random shape. Denaturation occurs because the bonding interactions responsible for the secondary structure (hydrogen bonds to amides) and tertiary structure are disrupted. In tertiary structure there are four types of bonding interactions between \"\"side chains\"\" including: hydrogen bonding, salt bridges, disulfide bonds, and non-polar hydrophobic interactions. which may be disrupted. Therefore, a variety of reagents and conditions can cause denaturation. The most common observation in the denaturation process is the precipitation or coagulation of the protein. Heat: Heat can be used to disrupt hydrogen bonds and non-polar hydrophobic interactions. This occurs because heat increases the kinetic energy and causes the molecules to vibrate so rapidly and violently that the bonds are disrupted."

"text": "Does One Contact Lens Solution Fit All? Choosing the right solution can impact patient compliance with the lens care regimen, ocular health and patient satisfaction with their contact lenses. By S. Barry Eiden, O. D. 5/18/2011When fitting patients with contact lenses, eye care practitioners utilize their expertise to choose lenses with attributes that will best meet each patient’s vision and eye health needs. Silicone hydrogel (Si Hy) lenses offer greater oxygen transmissibility than hydrogel lenses, which is one reason their market share has grown to more than 70% of all contact lens fits and refits in the United States. 1,2 Once the lens has been chosen, should practitioners go one step further and prescribe a contact lens solution? Absolutely. A patient who is not prescribed a contact lens solution or receives no explanation as to why a certain solution is best is unprepared to make an informed decision when confronted with an entire store aisle of options. An ill-informed patient may resort to picking a product based solely on the sale price or available coupons. Choosing paper towels based on price may not have long-term consequences, but choosing a contact lens solution using this method can. To underscore the importance of their recommendation, practitioners should write solution recommendations on a prescription pad, as would be done with a prescription eye drop."

Dermatoscopy, epiluminescence microscopy, incident light microscopy, and skin-surface microscopy are synonyms. Dermoscopy is performed with a handheld instrument called a dermatoscope. The procedure allows for the visualization of subsurface skin structures in the epidermis, at the dermoepidermal junction, and in the upper dermis; these structures are usually not visible to the naked eye [ 1-3 ]. The dermoscopic images may be photographed or recorded digitally for storage or sequential analysis. The basic principles of dermoscopy will be discussed in this topic. The dermoscopic diagnosis of skin lesions, including those in special anatomic areas, dermoscopy of nail pigmentation, and algorithms used for skin cancer triage are discussed separately. ● (See \"\"Dermoscopic evaluation of skin lesions\"\" . ) ● (See \"\"Dermoscopy of pigmented lesions of the palms and soles\"\" . ) To continue reading this article, you must log in with your personal, hospital, or group practice subscription."

"text": "Kids' Health Cold & Flu Flu Shot Recommendations2015-2016 Flu Season By Vincent Iannelli, MD, a board-certified physician Updated June 23, 2016Share Pin Email Print Terry Vine/Blend Images/Getty Images What is the age range for getting the flu shot? The expert recommendation is that everyone who is age 6 months or more, through old age, get a flu vaccine each year. You should get an influenza vaccine as soon as you can, before flu season begins. Flu shot recommendations change over the years, so you may see some changes when you visit your doctor. The recommendations for the coming winter season are published in August of each year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Flu Shots - Latest Recommendations Experts recommended that everyone who is at least six months old get a flu vaccine each year as soon as they can and before flu season begins. One change for 2015-16 is that there is no preference for live attenuated influenza vaccine over inactivated influenza vaccine when either is available. Because the circulating flu virus strains in the flu vaccine didn't change over the past couple of years there was another change in recommendations. Although children who are younger than 9 years old (6 months through 8 years) still need two doses of the flu vaccine, if this is the first year that they are getting vaccinated, a new recommendation clarifies some situations when they might only need one dose, including:children who received at least two doses oft trivalent or quadrivalent flu vaccine before July 1, 2015 need only one dose for 2015-16 season. These doses do not have to have been given during the same or consecutive seasons."

If baby is extremely sick, then your pediatrician will probably modify the immunization schedule. Otherwise, baby should get vaccinated on a regular basis following the guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC. Though some children do suffer from mild reactions to immunizations, very few become seriously ill, and any pediatrician will reassure you that the benefits of having antibodies (needed to fight infections) far outweigh the risks of baby getting shots. So what exactly do these shots protect baby from? We broke it down with help from the AAP: Hepatitis B Vaccine (Hep B)It prevents : Hepatitis B, a chronic or acute liver disease that can lead to liver failure and cancer. When baby gets it : The first dose should be given before baby's discharged from the hospital after birth. A second dose should happen between 1 and 2 months of age. If, for some reason, baby doesn’t get the hepatitis B vaccine at the hospital,he or she will need three doses—at 0, 1 and 6 months—and the final dosage should be administered no earlier than 24 weeks old. If mom is hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) positive, baby should get the vaccine—plus hepatitis B immune globulin—within 12 hours of birth, and then receive three more doses of the vaccine between 9 and 18 months, and be tested for HBs Ag and the antibody to HBs Ag one to two months after completion of the dosages."

The disease is a rare occurrence in the United States due to the effectiveness of the tetanus vaccine.

When a wound becomes contaminated with tetanus bacteria, the bacteria travel through the bloodstream and invade the nerve endings throughout the body.

The CDC posted estimates of seasonal flu deaths from recent flu seasons in the United States, with an estimated low of 12,000 (2011-2012) to an estimated high of 56,000 (2012-2013). If you get the flu, stay home. And if you’re in business – encourage your employees to take sick days to not expose others. It’s estimated that this year’s flu season will result in $15.4 billion in lost productivity for businesses. If you want to save money, getting a flu shot is the smart strategy.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 13:14by Barbara Loe Fisher National Vaccine Information Center Americans have never been big fans of flu shots. During the 2009 “swine flu” influenza A pandemic, only about 40 percent of adults bothered to roll up their sleeves. 1 Last year, flu vaccine rates were still just 47 percent for adults but pediatricians had vaccinated 75 percent of children under two years old. 2Perhaps it is because parents are being thrown out of pediatricians’ offices if they don’t give their children every federally recommended vaccine – or maybe it is just because adults can talk about how they felt after getting vaccinated and infants and children under age two cannot. How many times has someone told you: “The year I got a flu shot is the only year I got sick” or maybe you learned that the hard way yourself after getting vaccinated. Doctors insist that just because we get sick with a fever, headache, body aches and a terrible cough that hangs on for weeks after getting vaccinated, it doesn’t mean the vaccine made us sick. They say it was just a “coincidence” because correlation does not equal causation. 3 4Well, that may be true some of the time, but now the CDC is admitting that flu shots don’t prevent influenza most of the time. 5 In fact, studies show that a history of seasonal flu shots can even make people more susceptible to getting sick with a fever, headache, body aches and a terrible cough that hangs on for weeks!"

By Rachael Rettner, Senior Writer | September 19, 2014 02:58pm ETMORECredit: Boris Bulychev/Shutterstock.com In a new recommendation this flu season, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that the nasal spray form of the flu vaccine is the preferred way to vaccinate kids ages 2 to 8. Previously, the CDC did not recommended one form of the vaccine over the other for this age group. Here's what you need to know about the change. What prompted the change? New studies suggest that the nasal spray works particularly well to prevent flu in children ages 2 to 8. Although neither the shot nor the spray protects against the flu 100 percent of the time, the nasal spray prevented 50 percent more flu cases than the flu shot in children 2 to 8 in the new studies, according to the CDC.

Each HPV virus in the group is given a number, and is called an HPV type (for instance, HPV-16). HPVs are called papillomaviruses because some of the HPV types cause warts or papillomas, which are non-cancerous tumors. But some types of HPV are known for causing cancer. HPV causes most cases of cervical cancer, as well as many vaginal, vulvar, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers (cancers of the throat and tongue). The papilloma viruses are attracted to and are able to live only in certain cells in the body called squamous epithelial cells. These cells are found on the surface of the skin and on moist surfaces (called mucosal surfaces) like: The vagina, anus, cervix, vulva (around the outside of the vagina)The inner foreskin and urethra of the penis The inner nose, mouth, throat The trachea (the main breathing tube) and bronchi (smaller breathing tubes branching off the trachea)The inner eyelids About 75% of the HPV types cause warts on the skin – often on the arms, chest, hands, and feet. These are common warts."

Credit: The Yok i Stock / Getty Images Plus Getty Images Full Answer Protection from tetanus should begin in infancy, with a combined diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis shot at two, four and six months and again at 15 to 18 months, according to the CDC. Children should get a DTa P booster shot at the age of 4 to 6 years. At age 11 or 12, children should get a Tdap vaccine for protection from tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis. If an adult has not received the Tdap vaccine, he should get it instead of a Td booster shot."

However, the current educational climate is changing, and more schools are offering transitional kindergarten programs to younger children. Most TK programs require students to be eligible for traditional kindergarten, but the programs are geared to those students who are on the younger end of the scale. If a child begins school in a TK program, he is likely to be 10 years old in fourth grade."

"text": "\"Reading Test for Children Determining Your Child's Reading Age With The Burt Reading Test (part 1)So, you want to know what your child's reading level is at... As parents, we're all concerned about the education and development of our children, and one of the key areas of focus is literacy skills involving reading and writing. As our children grow, we as parents often wonder how well our children are developing, and how well is their learning progressing. One of the key metrics that many parents worry about is \"\"what is my child's reading level\"\"? This should not be surprising as reading is the key to academic success and leads to success later on in life. As such, parents often seek various ways and methods for testing the reading level of their child to see if their child's reading level is on par with other similar aged children, or if their child's reading ability is above or below the average reading levels for a certain age. In our three part article on word reading test for children, we'll discuss three quite commonly used word reading tests, and discuss our experiences with them. These reading tests are designed for children who are in school, and have at least some basic reading abilities. These tests comprise of various words starting with very simple words and gradually increasing in difficulty, and all 3 tests have different and accurate methods for determining the reading age / grade of children. The three reading level tests we'll discuss are: 1) The Burt Word Reading Test, 2) The WRT (Word Reading Test) which is a sub-test of the \"\"Quick Adult Reading Inventory\"\", an individual assessment of reading from lincs.ed.gov, and 3) the Wide Range Reading Test for Kindergarten to College, made available from donpotter.net.

"text": "World Health Organization (WHO) Updates Official Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System On May 9, 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) published an official reclassification of Tumor Types of the Central Nervous System, which has moved the greater neuro-oncology field toward a more precise and accurate system of brain tumor classification. Based on information from expert neuropathologists and neuro-oncologists, the result of the updated WHO classifications, which integrate molecular information with histology, is that doctors will be better able to more accurately diagnose, make prognoses, plan treatment, and predict therapeutic response for patients. A more precise diagnosis and treatment plan is a win for patients. Since the advent of new technology and capabilities for genomic sequencing, and in particular the seminal Cancer Genome Atlas project funded by the National Institutes of Health, recent molecular studies on brain tumors have begun to reveal the vast diversity of genetic and epigenetic alterations that exist between brain tumors. This biological heterogeneity often means tumors that may, at first blush, appear to be the same, may actually require a different approach to treatment – as well as the converse (i.e. tumors that may look different under the microscope may have common molecular alterations). Further studies have also shown that molecular signatures in tumor cells can define different groups of brain tumor types with distinctive characteristics, and that analyzing a tumor for mutations or deletions in certain genes or regions of chromosomes, can provide a deeper level of understanding of each tumor’s make-up. Thus, it was critical that molecular data be integrated into traditional histopathology approaches to reclassify brain tumor types more effectively. New integrated classifications will also improve future research and the development of new treatments by ensuring that patients participating in clinical trials are comparable within and across trials, and patients in clinical trials are correctly stratified based on their molecular signatures with targeted therapies most likely to benefit them. Additionally, the updated classifications will help provide more accurate analysis and understanding of experimental studies in the lab, as well as better interpretation of population-based disease trends that may help identify causes and risk factors. In short, this move away from traditional histopathology alone, to integrated classification with molecular characteristics, moves the brain tumor field further into the era of medicines that are highly targeted for a particular brain tumor patient."

Immunohistochemical analysis, cytogenetic and molecular genetic findings, and measures of mitotic activity are increasingly used in tumor diagnosis and classification. Brain tumors are classified according to histology, but tumor location and extent of spread are important factors that affect treatment and prognosis. Ependymomas arise from ependymal cells that line the ventricles and passageways in the brain and the center of the spinal cord. Ependymal cells produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). These tumors are classified as supratentorial or infratentorial. In children, most ependymomas are infratentorial tumors that arise in or around the fourth ventricle. According to the 2016 revision to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of the central nervous system, ependymal tumors are classified into the following five main subtypes: [ 1]Subependymoma (WHO Grade I).

Formation of the sacrum/lower back and corresponding nervous system is usually nearing completion by the 4th week of development. While the exact etiology is unknown, the condition may be associated with certain dietary deficiencies including a lack or insuffient amounts of folic acid or other developmental aids.

Optional Kindergarten ( nursery school) education is provided for all children between one and six years old, after which school attendance is compulsory. [ 1] The system varies throughout Germany because each state ( Land) decides its own educational policies. Most children, however, first attend Grundschule from the age of six to eleven. German secondary education includes five types of school. The Gymnasium is designed to prepare pupils for higher education and finishes with the final examination Abitur, after grade 12 or 13. The Realschule has a broader range of emphasis for intermediate pupils and finishes with the final examination Mittlere Reife, after grade 10; the Hauptschule prepares pupils for vocational education and finishes with the final examination Hauptschulabschluss, after grade 9 and the Realschulabschluss after grade 10. There are two types of grade 10: one is the higher level called type 10b and the lower level is called type 10a; only the higher-level type 10b can lead to the Realschule and this finishes with the final examination Mittlere Reife after grade 10b. This new path of achieving the Realschulabschluss at a vocationally oriented secondary school was changed by the statutory school regulations in 1981 – with a one-year qualifying period. During the one-year qualifying period of the change to the new regulations, pupils could continue with class 10 to fulfil the statutory period of education."

"text": "Can I Get Car Insurance Coverage Without A Car? June 14, 2013Comments Email Even if you're leasing or renting a car, meaning you don't really own it, you are still required to have car insurance coverage to be legally allowed to drive. Non owner insurance acts similarly to auto liability insurance to ensure that anyone injured or any property damaged in an accident where you are at fault is covered. Non owners insurance is available from all insurance providers and the car insurance rates are comparable to regular liability insurance. If you want to learn more about the auto insurance terms available when you don't own a car, here is some information about non owner car insurance. Get Free Car Insurance Quotes >>Liability Coverage Auto liability coverage is the minimum required coverage in most states if you own a car. This makes sure that any injuries or damages to another party which are caused by your actions are taken care of so that people who are not at fault for an accident aren't penalized. However, liability coverage is only available if you actually own the car which needs to be insured. Since you still need a form of liability coverage for cars which you don't own, non owner auto insurance will cover you. Non owner insurance is essentially exactly the same as bodily injury and property damage auto liability insurance, except that you don't own the car being insured."

To ensure productivity, some apartment management companies hire only agents who are certified by the National Apartment Association. To earn a certificate from the NAA, you need experience and proper training.1. Earn a high school diploma or GED. A college or university degree is not required to earn an apartment leasing agent certification.2. Get at least six months of experience working as a leasing agent for an apartment community.

How do commercial real estate commissions work? What's the difference between a leasing agent and a tenant rep? How do commercial real estate professionals (\"\"brokers\"\") get paid? Commercial Real estate agents are typically paid a commission upon the signing of a lease. The commission is paid by the owner of the building and is typically paid one-half upon lease execution and one-half upon tenant occupancy. The commission is most often calculated as a percentage of the lease value and usually ranges between four and six percent. For example, if a tenant signs a 3-year lease for 2,000 square feet at $20 per SF per year, a 5% commission equals $6,000 (3 yrs x 2,000 SF x $20 x 5%). To further complicate matters, the agent's Broker is the one that gets paid the commission."

"text": "Average Land Rent Prices in Texas Posted on June 4, 2014 by tiffany.dowell*This article is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. * During the leasing presentations that I’ve given in the past year, I have been frequently asked what a landowner should charge when leasing his or her land. Even though I jokingly tell people that I can’t help them because they did not teach me that in law school, I have done some research and wanted to share some useful resources and information. First, I would recommend that any landowner seeking to determine what to charge to talk to the County Extension Agent and to other landowners who have been leasing land in the area. These are the folks who are really going to know what is going on in the county and can explain some of the nuances that make certain land more or less valuable. Second, the USDA publishes cash rental prices based upon responses from producers for each state across the country. In Texas for 2013, the average cash rent price for pastureland was $6.50, for non-irrigated farmland was $25.00, and for irrigated farmland was $77.00. These numbers are significantly less than the national averages, which are $12.00 for pastureland, $125.00 for non-irrigated farmland, and $202.00 for irrigated farmland. The highest pasture rental average is in Illinois at $53.00 per acre. The highest irrigated farmland lease average is found in California at $365.00 per acre."

Who Pays the Buyer's Agent Commission? Real estate commissions are negotiable. When agents write real estate contracts they use a “generally accepted” commission standard for the locality they're in, but nowhere is the commission percentage set by law. The question of who pays the commission on a rental, the landlord or the tenant, is also determined by local custom. The amount of commission varies, and is negotiable between the entity paying and the real estate agent. Percentage of Lease Some real estate agents charge the landlord a commission based on the yearly amount collected. If the tenant is paying $3,000 per month, and the agent is charging 10 percent, he’ll get $3,600.00 for finding a tenant and writing the lease. Often that commission is split between two agents, the listing agent and the agent representing the tenant, netting the listing agent’s broker $1,800.00. The amount paid the agent is a percentage based on his agreement with his broker."

"text": "Home »Salary Insights »More Salary Information How Much Does a Leasing Agent Make a Year? By Rick Suttle Creatas/Creatas/Getty Images Construction and real estate management companies rely on leasing agents to rent apartments, condos, homes and office buildings. Leasing agents use various sources, including ads and home owners' listings, to find qualified clients for their units. These professionals also calculate monthly payments for lessees, schedule the maintenance and painting of units and process the applications. You can expect to earn an average income slightly below $50,000 annually as a leasing agent. Income and Qualifications Leasing agents usually earn salaries plus commissions. Their annual commissions can sometimes meet or exceed their annual salaries. For example, Chicago Apartment Finders reported average leasing agent incomes of $35,000 to $40,000 annually -- with top agents earning over $100,000. The average annual incomes for leasing agents was $46,000 as of 2013, according to the job website Simply Hired. To become a leasing agent, you need at least a high school diploma and one year of experience in sales or customer service."

"text": "Breaking a lease early Information for tenants When you sign a fixed term tenancy agreement (lease) you are committing to stay for the full term. If your circumstances change and you want to move out before the end of the fixed term there are potential costs involved. There are some circumstances where a fixed term agreement can be terminated early without penalty. Refer to the section ‘Breaking the agreement without penalty’ below. Costs you may have to pay Breaking your tenancy agreement during the fixed term can be costly. You may have to pay:rent until a new tenant takes over or the fixed term period ends, whichever occurs first, anda percentage of the advertising costs and the agent's reletting fee (if the landlord uses an agent). For example, if you break the lease 9 months into a 12-month tenancy there is 25% of the lease remaining, so you would expect to pay 25% of these amounts. If you need to end your agreement early you should give as much notice as you can. The landlord or agent must take all reasonable steps to find a replacement tenant as soon as possible. The more you can do to help, the less you may have to pay."

Craft Share this Article0 sharetweetcommentprintmore For the past nine months, I’ve worked as an on-site leasing agent for a major Manhattan landlord. Every day people come through my office in various stages of frustration, looking for a suitable place to call home. Having sat on both sides of the table--I personally have rented three apartments in three years, so I understand what a colossal pain finding a place in Manhattan is--I’ve learned a thing or two about how to go about securing the best apartment on the best terms. The on-site leasing agent at a rental building represents the landlord, not you Because he or she works for the landlord, not you, an on-site agent is not going to volunteer all of the information at their disposal. For example, if you come in to my office looking for a one-bedroom apartment and I have 10 one-bedroom vacancies, I am only going to tell you about two. Maybe three if I’m feeling generous. This is because landlords don’t want prospective tenants to know how many availabilities they have because it decreases their bargaining power and undermines your sense of urgency. If I show you three apartments and you like one of them, you’re going to feel more compelled to put in an application on the spot than if I had rattled off all 10 choices to you. That’s why it’s important that you explain clearly what your apartment priorities are so that I pick the right two or three apartments to tell you about. Extras & price reductions only come to those who ask Because I represent the landlord, it’s up to you to try to secure the best possible deal."

People who enter the industry with a get-rich-quick mentality may be frustrated with immediate earnings that are nowhere near their million-dollar expectations. “The reality is it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme,” said Gary Malin, COO of Citi Habitats. “ I think that a lot of people need to recalibrate their expectations and realize this is a job. ”The Real Deal talked with industry veterans and found that in real-estate-related jobs, salaries run the gamut from $30,000 for a new appraiser to $30 million for a savvy developer. Even within individual professions, salaries are disparate depending on function and seniority. Education seems to matter less than experience, and many professions employ a commission-based pay structure — plus bonus. Following is a look at the salaries of practitioners in different real estate jobs. Residential rental/sales agent Rental agents can earn as much as sales agents — though not top sales agents — if they can close 60 to 100 transactions a year. Barbara Fox, president of Fox Residential Group, a high-end boutique brokerage specializing in sales, said one of the two rental agents working at her firm is actually a top producer in her 40-person company."

A typical banded iron formation consists of repeated, thin layers (a few millimeters to a few centimeters in thickness) of silver to black iron oxides, either magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) or hematite (Fe 2 O 3 ), alternating with bands of iron-poor shales and cherts, often red in color, of similar thickness, and containing microbands (sub-millimeter) of iron oxides. [ 1]Some of the oldest known rock formations, formed over 3,700 million years ago, include banded iron layers. [ 2] Banded iron formations account for more than 60% of of global iron reserves, and can be found in Australia, Canada, India, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, and the United States.

[ 7]750 million years ago new banded iron formations formed that are associated with Snowball Earth [8]. An ashtray carved out of a soft form of banded ironstone from the 3.5 billion year old Barbeton Supergroup in South Africa. The red layers were laid down during the daylight hours when Archaean photosynthesizing cyanobacteria produced oxygen that immediately reacted with dissolved iron compounds in the water, to form insoluble iron oxide (rust). The white layers are sediments that settled during the night when there was no oxygen in the water. [ 9]The conventional hypothesis is that the banded iron layers were formed in sea water as the result of oxygen released by photosynthetic cyanobacteria."

Some are very concerned about the inappropriate treatment of farm animals. For many others, the concern is about their health and what changes they can make to promote a better quality of life. Because of these concerns, many are making the switch to a plant-based diet. Strict vegan diets can pose certain risks to health. About seven million adult Americans have chosen to go totally vegetarian and eliminate all animal products from their diet. If one eats only plant foods, are there really any additional health benefits? What about risks? The research studies point to a better quality of health for the total vegetarian, or vegan."

Hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochromes, and peroxidases require iron-containing heme as a prosthetic group for their biological activities. ( More information)Because the body excretes very little iron, iron metabolism is tightly regulated. In particular, the iron regulatory hormone, hepcidin, blocks dietary iron absorption, promotes cellular iron sequestration, and reduces iron bioavailability when body iron stores are sufficient to meet requirements. ( More information)Iron status can be assessed in healthy men and nonpregnant women using laboratory tests that measure serum ferritin (iron-storage protein), serum iron, total iron binding capacity, saturation of transferrin (the main iron carrier in blood), and soluble transferrin receptor. ( More information)Iron deficiency results from an inadequate supply of iron to cells following depletion of the body’s reserves. Microcytic anemia occurs when body iron stores are so low that hemoglobin synthesis and red blood cell formation are severely impaired. ( More information)Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide, affecting primarily children, women of childbearing age, pregnant women, frequent blood donors, and individuals with certain medical conditions. ( More information)Much of our iron requirement is met through recycling iron from senescent red blood cells."

His former band members report that the drummer died peacefully in his sleep at home on March 12, 2013. Burr joined the legendary group in 1979. Iron Maiden was and remains to this day one of the more high profile bands of the New Wave of British Metal during the late 1970s. Burr had lent his drum talents to the first three Iron Maiden albums, which are still regarded by Maiden fans around the world as some of the band’s best musical achievements: the self-titled Iron Maiden debut album, Killers, and The Number of the Beast. Those first two albums also sported the original singer Paul Di’Anno, who was later replaced by the soaring high-pitched vocalist Bruce Dickinson. By the time of The Number of the Beast, the band was on the crest of achieving worldwide success and legendary status as a Heavy Metal unit. Burr helped give the band a tight bottom end sound, in contrast to the drummer who replaced him, the fast and quick Nicko Mc Brain. Burr also had speed and agility on the drumkit, but he had a more punky, AC/DC kind of attack to him, and thus the first three Iron Maiden albums, although adventurous in their arrangements and song craft, still have a kind of DIY metal feel to them, a sort of early blueprint stamp of what was to come. On songs like “Wrathchild,” “Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “Remember Tomorrow,” “Prowler,” “The Ides of March,” “The Prisoner,” and the sort of Maiden “hits” like “Run to the Hills” and “The Number of the Beast,” Burr displayed a hungry hammer attack, kind of like Deep Purple’s Ian Paice meets Black Sabbath’s original drummer Bill Ward."

They maintain and recycle the atomic ingredients of which proteins, the essence of life, are made, including oxygen, nitrogen and carbon. We humans are, in simple terms, bags of water filled with proteins and prokaryotic bacteria (the bacteria in your body outnumber the cells in your body about 10 to 1). We humans have descended from organisms that adapted to living in a prokaryotic world, and we humans retain (conserved in evolutionary terms) in our Eukaraotic mitochondria the cellular machinery to power our cells that we inherited (i.e., Endosymbiosis ) from the prokaryotes of deep time on earth. Defining Stromatolites Scientists disagree on how to define stromatolites. A common definition goes something like: A lamiated rock formed by the growth of blue-green algae (i.e., cyanobacteria)\"\". This definition is, in fact, such a gross oversimplification as be scientifically useless."

"text": "\"Advanced Coal Science Coal – How It Is Formed Coal is made from Peat that has been compressed and then subjected to high temperature ( + 100° Celcius) for a few million years to drive off moisture, methane and carbon dioxide bearing molecules. This process causes the peat to progress through brown coal, lignite, sub-bituminous coal and then to bituminous coal (the category most of Australia’s coal currently mined belongs to) and finally anthracite. Through this process, the carbon content of the coal increases as does the energy content of the coal. Commensurate with this process is a reduction in the moisture content and oxygen content of the coal. The process by which peat accumulates is complex but in general it: • requires a source of vegetal material (plant material in the form of trees, branches, leaves, spores and resins), • requires a preserving medium (normally water) where microbial activity is restricted. • requires a sinking floor or rising water table for the duration of the peat formation • requires a long period of time where quiescent condition predominate Where Does Coal Form? Coal, as with most organic sediments, tends to accumulate in structures known as basins. These structures are normally controlled by a series of faults that provide the constant sinking of the floor of peat swamps. These basins may be several thousand kilometres long and several hundred kilometres wide and are normally associated with “Plate Tectonics” at the time of formation. These basins are often associated with the accumulation of many thousands of metres of sediment and are found behind zones of subduction where ocean floor sinks beneath crustal rocks depiceted below."

This group of formations is geographically divided into the Gunflint Range, the Mesabi and Vermilion ranges, and the Cuyuna Range. On the map, the Animikie Group is the dark gray northeast-trending belt which ranges from south-central Minnesota, U. S., up to Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The Gunflint Iron Range is the linear black formation labeled G, the Mesabi Iron Range is the jagged black linear formation labeled F, and Cuyuna Iron Range is the two black spots labeled E. The gabbro of the Duluth Complex, intruded during the formation of the Midcontinent Rift, separates the Mesabi and Gunflint iron ranges; it is shown by the speckled area wrapping around the western end of Lake Superior. Banded-iron formations are iron formations which formed about 2,000 million years ago and were first described in the Lake Superior region. Sediments associated with the last stage of the Great Lakes tectonic zone contain banded-iron formations. These sediments were deposited for two hundred million years and extend intermittently along roughly the same trend as the Great Lakes tectonic zone, from Minnesota into eastern Ontario, Canada, and through upper Wisconsin and Michigan. They are characterized by bands of iron compounds and chert. Enough oxygen had accumulated in seawater so that dissolved iron was oxidized; iron reacts with oxygen to form compounds that precipitate out – including hematite, limonite and siderite. These iron compounds precipitated from the seawater in varying proportions with chert, producing banded-iron formations."

"text": "\"Our Home, the Earth's Surface The outer layers of the Earth consist of a crust and the uppermost part of what is called the mantle, and together they are known as the lithosphere. This is a fairly rigid zone of rocks that extends about 100 km below the surface in which the crust extends some 60 km or so beneath continents, but only about 10 km below the ocean floor. Rocks composing the continental crust have a lower density than those composing the oceanic crust, and they are primarily a light-colored granite which is rich in the silicates of aluminum, iron, and magnesium. In a simplified view, the continental crust possesses a layered structure: On the bottom is a layer of igneous rock (molten rock that has hardened, such as granite) over which lies a thin layer of sedimentary rocks (rocks formed by sediment and fragments that water deposited, such as limestone and sandstone). Over lying the sedimentary rocks is a layer of soil that has been deposited during past ages in those parts of continents that have not recently experienced volcanic or mountain building activity. Sandwiched between the lithosphere and the lower mantle is a 150-km thick layer of partially molten material. This layer, called the asthenosphere, is readily deformed and can be made to flow when pressure is exerted. Its chemical composition is primarily iron and magnesium silicates. In efforts to date various regions of continents, geochemists have shown with radioactive dating techniques (see box) that the oldest rock formations on continents have ages between 3.5 and 3.8 billion years. For North America, the oldest part is a crescent-shaped region bordering the west and south sides of Hudson's Bay."

"text": "\"Normal Iron Metabolism A well-balanced diet contains sufficient iron to meet body requirements. About 10% of the normal 10 to 20 mg of dietary iron is absorbed each day, and this is sufficient to balance the 1 to 2 mg daily losses from desquamation of epithelia. Greater iron utilization via growth in childhood, greater iron loss with minor hemorrhages, menstruation in women, and greater need for iron in pregnancy will increase the efficiency of dietary iron absorbtion to 20%. Iron is mainly absorbed in the duodenum and upper jejunum. A transporter protein called divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) facilitates transfer of iron across the intestinal epithelial cells. DMT1 also facilitates uptake of other trace metals, both good (manganese, copper, cobalt, zinc) and bad (cadmium, lead). Iron within the enterocyte is released via ferroportin into the bloodstream. Iron is then bound in the bloodstream by the transport glycoprotein named transferrin. Both DMT-1 and ferroportin are found in a wide variety of cells involved in iron transport, such as macrophages. ( Fuqua et al, 2012)Normally, about 20 to 45% of transferrin binding sites are filled (the percent saturation)."

However, these agents are not without potentially serious side effects. They have been shown to be associated with venous thromboembolism and increased mortality. For these reasons, a recent Cochrane review discussed the potential adverse effects of these agents when used in the setting of CKD. Clinical guidelines recommend ESA treatment to avoid blood transfusions and anemia-related symptoms for patients with CKD. However, whether all the available ESAs are equally effective and safe has not been adequately evaluated by individual RCTs [ 88 R]. Data for the effects of ESA treatment compared to placebo or no treatment on all-cause mortality was provided in 10 studies involving over 5000 participants. Three agents (epoetin alfa, epoetin beta and darbepoetin alfa) were assessed against placebo or no treatment with patients with underlying CKD. The odds of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and MI were not statistically significant with all three agents. However, when considering the odds of stroke, the results were not statistically significant in the epoetin alfa and beta groups, but were increased in darbepoetin alfa group when compared to placebo. Similar results were found with hypertension, where all three agents had a higher propensity to increase blood pressure in comparison to placebo [ 88 R].

More than 98% of the iron ore that is shipped in the world is used to make steel, while the rest is used in pigments, chemicals, or in other, minor uses. Natural ores were the primary type of ores mined prior to World War II. In the early 19th century, settlers moving westward from the eastern United States bypassed the UP because of its reputation as an inhospitable wilderness."

In 2011, women's life expectancy at birth was more than 80 years in 46 countries, but only 58 years in the WHO African Region. Girls are far more likely than boys to suffer sexual abuse. Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among adolescent girls in high- and upper-middle-income countries. Almost all (99%) of the approximate 287 000 maternal deaths every year occur in developing countries. Globally, cardiovascular disease, often thought to be a \"\"male\"\" problem, is the number one killer of women. Breast cancer is the leading cancer killer among women aged 20–59 years worldwide. Infancy and childhood (0-9 years)Both death rates and the causes of death are similar for boys and girls during infancy and childhood. Prematurity, birth asphyxia and infections are the main causes of death during the first month of life, which is the time of life when the risk of death is the highest. Pneumonia, prematurity, birth asphyxia and diarrhoea are the main causes of death during the first five years of life."

"text": "\"Youth football participation increases in 2015; teen involvement down, data shows Apr 17, 2016Tom Farrey ESPN Senior Writer Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Emailprintcomment After years of increasing safety concerns from parents brought on by greater awareness about risks of brain and other injuries, football leaders finally have good news to celebrate: a modest, one-year jump in the number of children playing the game. A total of 1.23 million youth ages 6-12 played tackle football in 2015, up from 1.216 million the year before, according to data from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association, which commissions an annual survey of participation rates in United States households across a range of sports. Participation in flag football within that age group saw a slightly larger jump, from 1.086 million to 1.142 million. Sport leaders have become more attuned to participation rates in recent years, in part due to research showing that youth who play a sport are more likely than nonparticipants to become fans of it, as those affinities extend into adulthood. \"\" One year does not make a trend, but it's a good sign,\"\" said Tom Cove, CEO of SFIA. \"\" If you look at the last four years, the numbers have been relatively stable, particularly in the [core], which is the most objective measure of parents making decisions about their children playing the sport in a serious way. \"\" The most engaged children are \"\"core participants,\"\" which SFIA defines as anyone who plays football 26 or more times during the year. These are the children typically involved in organized tackle leagues, in which there were an estimated 991,000 youth involved last year, up 3.3 percent from 2014 and not far from the pre-recession levels of 1 million-plus. There are caveats to the bump in numbers, however. A record 4.3 million children were born in the U. S. in 2007 -- they are now around age 8, when communities begin to offer tackle football."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The distribution of births according to month in the general population The distribution, according to month of birth, of players involved in UEFA organised international youth tournaments in 2010/11The term relative age effect (RAE) is used to describe a bias, evident in the upper echelons of youth sport [1] and academia, [2] [3] where participation is higher amongst those born early in the relevant selection period (and correspondingly lower amongst those born late in the selection period) than would be expected from the normalised distribution of live births. The selection period is usually the calendar year, the academic year or the sporting season. The difference in maturity - which can be extreme at young ages: a six-year old born in January is almost 17% older than a six-year old born in December in the same year [4] - causes a performance gap that persists over time. The term month of birth bias is also used to describe the effect and season of birth bias is used to describe similar effects driven by different hypothesised mechanisms. The bias results from the common use of age related systems, for organizing youth sports competition and academic cohorts, based on specific cut-off dates to establish eligibility for inclusion. Typically a child born after the cut-off date is included in a cohort and a child born before the cut-off date is excluded from it. Contents [ hide ]1 In sports2 In academia3 In other spheres4 Lexicon5 References6 Further reading In sports [ edit]The most commonly used cut-off date for youth international sporting competition is 1 January. The IOC [5] and FIFA [6] and the 6 international football confederations ( AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC and UEFA [7]) all use 1 January as their administrative cut-off date when determining an athlete's eligibility to compete in youth competitions, children born before a specified cut-off date are excluded. Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers: The Story of Success and Super Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner have popularised the issue in respect of Canadian ice-hockey players, European football players and US Major League baseball players. The expected distribution of births in any given month across a population correlates closely to the number of days in the month, with February as the shortest month having the fewest births."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Youth athletics)navigation search Youth athletes at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics Youth sport (British English) or youth athletics (American English) is any sports event where competitors are younger than adult age, whether children or adolescents. Youth sport includes school sport at primary and secondary level, as well as sport played outside the education system, whether informally or organized. In sports studies and public policy contexts, an age limit of 18 (the age of majority) is usual in discussing \"\"youth sport\"\". Not all sports governing bodies define \"\"youth\"\" as \"\"under-18\"\": while the Youth Olympic Games and the FA Youth Cup are for under-18s, the LEN Junior Water Polo European Championship is for under-17s. Many youth sport programmes have multiple age levels, for example under-8, under-10, under-12, etc. It is not, however, only underage sport that may be considered as \"\"youth\"\" sport; for example, the existence of the World Rowing U23 Championships recognises that adults aged 18–22 have not yet reached peak condition. Sport is one of the most popular activities among youth all over the world. [ 1] The most popular sports are association football and swimming. In 2008, a United Nations -sponsored report on \"\"Sport for Development and Peace\"\" stated: [2]Sport can contribute significantly to international, national and local efforts to give children a healthy start. Sport can help those who haven’t received a good start, and equip youth with the information, skills, personal and social resources, and support needed to make key life transitions successfully."

"text": "Cover 3 Zone Defense The majority of youth football teams play man to man coverage, which is the case in my league as well. We are one of the few teams that actually use cover 3 zone defense with our youth football team . We had instances or situations where we would play a mixture of man to man and zone coverage. We usually utilize both with the older kids. We have the most success defending the pass in our cover 3 zone defense. About Cover 3 Zone Defense I like cover 3 zone defense because it allows us to cover every area of the field. It also helps to defend against mobile QBs. Many teams with good mobile QBs will just have the receivers run the defenders off leaving the field open to run. We will cover all the deeps 3rds and wide side flat. The flats and deep 3rds are usually attacked the most in youth football."

Below are some of the most frequently asked academy related questions. If you have any further questions jot them in the comments below. CHAPTER 1What is a Football Academy? A football academy is a facility set up to develop young footballers. It’s most often thought of as a training school to teach young players how to play football, to meet the club's specific standard. Most elite level football clubs in Europe and Latin America has an academy to produce players to: Develop into first team players Become a reserve or squad players Make money for the club from a potential transfer (or through the EPPP compensation scheme). The youth development system in America is different to other major footballing nations, with players joining pro clubs after graduating from the various collegiate sports program. As youth development is so important, clubs ensure that when a player reaches under 9's, they must play only for their academy. These academies sign several young players hoping to find a future star."

Borland told ESPN's \"\"Outside the Lines\"\" this week that he wants to protect himself from the risk of future brain injury.

"text": "\" (Photo: H. Darr Beiser, USA TODAY Sports)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREWhen Generation X athletes were taking their first steps onto America's fields, courts and gyms in the 1970s, talk of concussion prevention was nonexistent in youth sports. Fast forward to 2014. Baseline concussion testing and research initiatives, such as the Healthy Kids and Safe Sports Concussion Summit hosted by President Obama in May, are informing coaches and parents about the consequences of concussions and preventive measures to take. Recently, for example, participation in youth football has taken a hit. Enrollment in Pop Warner, the largest youth football program in the country, has decreased by nearly 9.6% since 2010. Some experts attribute this drop to the increased awareness of the consequences of concussions. A 2012 study by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) found that football players sustain the most concussions of all high school-aged athletes, with 11.2 concussions reported per 10,000 athletic exposures. Briana Scurry testifies on concussions Gymnastics, in the last decade, saw a sharp uptick in concussion frequency. From 1998-2004, the average rate of concussion per 10,000 athletic exposures was 1.6, according to Clinics in Sports Medicine. From 2004-11, that rate for gymnastics spiked to 7 concussions per 10,000 athletic exposures, according to a study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine."

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.

The last baby teeth to show up are the upper second primary molars, and they appear between 30 and 36 months of age. There are normally 20 baby teeth by the time a child reaches age three.

Your veterinarian knows how to age a dog by its teeth and can tell, within a few weeks to a month, how old your puppy is by looking at his teeth. Once your dog has all his permanent teeth in, it can be more difficult to accurately guess his age. How to Age a Dog By Its Teeth Baby Teeth A dog’s baby teeth are also called deciduous teeth. This simply means that they will fall out as the adult teeth grow in, just like in people. You can roughly tell a dog’s age by which baby teeth they have. Most dogs will get their baby incisors (the small teeth in the front of the mouth) all between the time they are 3–5 weeks old. There are three sets of incisors, for a total of 6 incisors on the top and 6 on the bottom. Usually, the top and bottom teeth come in at the same time, and the outside set of incisors comes in first. Most dogs will get their baby canine teeth between 3–4 weeks old."

Baby teeth have to fall out to make way for permanent teeth to grow – a process that continues until the final molars (also called wisdom teeth) are in. This can take until your child is anywhere from age 17 to 21. Most kids are excited to feel a tooth wiggle (and perhaps get a visit from the tooth fairy), while some worry it will hurt when the tooth falls out. If your child is a worrier, you can reassure him that he probably won't feel anything. First in, first out A child's 20 baby teeth, which often come in by age 3, usually fall out in the same order they came in. That means the lower center teeth (lower center incisors) are usually the first to go, around age 6 or 7. The top center pair is next. A baby tooth typically doesn't loosen until the permanent tooth below pushes it up to take its place."

Pediatric Dentistry Teething Feb 11, 2011 21©Olga Vladimirova/Shutterstock.com If you’ve had a child, then you probably know how teething affects kids — and parents!When it comes to teething, many parents want to know at what age teething starts and how long it will last. While I can’t give you an exact answer as to when your child will start teething and for how long, I can point out some general guidelines. The Age When Babies Start Teething The average baby’s first tooth pokes through their gums right around the age of six to ten months . Since all baby’s get their first tooth at a different age, it may help to give a general outline of when to expect all 20 of your baby’s teeth. I mostly used the data from the ADA’s Primary Tooth Eruption Chart (PDF) and have put the average age in months when each event occurs (shown in parentheses) below as well. Around 4 to 10 months your baby will get their first teeth, the lower front two teeth, the lower central incisors. ( ~8 months)Two months later the two upper front teeth (central incisors) will come into your baby’s mouth. ( ~10 months)One month later, the upper lateral incisors will come in. ( ~11 months)Two months later, the lower lateral incisors will come in. ("

Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The average age to get wisdom teeth is age 17-21. So I think it's probably a bit to early for you to get them. You could just have a bit of excessive tissue behind your last molars that sometimes get irritated. Source (s): Dental Assistant DL4evr · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment First of all, I don't think that those are wisdom teeth. They are most likely 12 yearold molars. I got them when I was 10 so you might just be getting them late. But on the other hand, they could be. But very oftenly, you get them from age 17-21. So yeah it depends if you already have your 12 yearold molars, I will edit if you say something!"

"text": "When Do Puppies Lose Their Teeth?by DFS-Pet-Blog on September 23, 2010One of the biggest challenges in raising a puppy is dealing with all of the chewing they do. It can be a bit less frustrating if you consider that for almost the first year of his life, your puppy is dealing with some big changes going on in his mouth. Dogs have two sets of teeth: 28 deciduous (baby) teeth, which will eventually be replaced by 42 permanent (adult) teeth. When a puppy is two or three weeks old, the deciduous teeth begin to erupt through the gums, starting with the incisors, followed by the canine teeth, and finally the premolars. All of the deciduous teeth should be in place by about eight weeks of age. These first teeth are small, and painfully sharp, as owners of young puppies know. This is part of the reason most mother dogs begin to wean their pups at 5 or 6 weeks of age. By eight to twelve weeks of age, the roots of the deciduous teeth are starting to resorb and the teeth begin to loosen and fall out. This makes room for the permanent teeth to erupt normally. As with the deciduous teeth, the permanent incisors are the first to come in, followed by the canine teeth, and the premolars."

By Mitzi Johnson, MD from American Baby Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email Oksana Kuzmina/shutterstock.com Teething Parents think of teething as the few days of swelling, discomfort, and irritability before a baby's tooth erupts, but tooth development actually begins before birth. Primary or \"\"baby\"\" teeth form below the gum line around the sixth week of pregnancy, and they're covered by hard enamel during the third to fourth month. Permanent or \"\"adult\"\" teeth also begin developing at this time. During pregnancy, you can get your child's teeth off to a healthy start by following your doctor's advice and eating a well-balanced diet, including calcium-rich foods such as yogurt and dark leafy greens. And once your baby sprouts these little teeth, you'll need to take good care of them. Here are some frequently asked questions about baby teeth. When can I expect my child's first tooth to come in? Teething can begin as early as 4 months of age, but most babies don't get their first tooth until 6 months. Teeth usually come in pairs."

This is the time at which your pup or young dog will be obsessed with their mouths and teeth, exploring everything orally and always remaining on the lookout for potential things that they can chew!A lot of good advice is written on how to get through the teething stage itself without losing your mind (and your cherished possessions!) but information on what actually happens during this stage and what is going on in your dog’s mouth can be somewhat harder to come by. In this article, we will look at the basics of the process that occurs as your pup loses their baby teeth and grows in their adult set, and what you can expect to happen during this time. Read on to learn more. The baby and adult teeth When your pup is little, they possess 28 baby teeth in their mouths. These are referred to as deciduous teeth, and are a temporary set that are only present for a few months, before your pup starts to lose them and grow in their permanent teeth. Pups start to get their baby teeth at around 2-3 weeks of age, starting with the incisors, then the canine teeth, and eventually the premolars.

The roots of baby teeth dissolve when the new permanent teeth grow, so you won’t be able to ever see the roots of baby teeth. When Do Children Start to Get Teeth? Baby teeth, also called primary or milk teeth, have very thin roots that look like threads. Your baby will start to get teeth somewhere around six months of age, but the first tooth can appear anytime between three and twelve months of age. Your child should have 20 baby teeth by around age three—10 on the bottom row and 10 on the top row. When Do Children Lose Baby Teeth? Children start to lose teeth anywhere between five to seven years of age, but some kids can begin losing teeth as early as age four. Kids usually lose their teeth in the order they first appeared. The top and bottom front teeth, called central incisors, are usually the first to come in and the first to fall out."

"text": "\"Manifest Destiny Expansionism and Imperialism By Thomas Hietala The United States experienced its most rapid territorial growth during the mid-1840s. The nation annexed Texas in 1845, acquired Oregon south of 49° north latitude in a treaty with Great Britain in 1846, and conquered and held California and New Mexico during the U. S.-Mexican War. The nation also obtained vast cessions from Native American tribes, which were relocated to remote and unwanted regions, a process begun in the seventeenth century. Journalist John L. O'Sullivan attributed this remarkable expansion to \"\"Manifest Destiny,\"\" a label scholars still use to describe the decade. But O'Sullivan did not formulate a clear or coherent definition of Manifest Destiny. In 1845 he interpreted the phrase to mean that the United States was predestined to control the entire continent because God wanted it that way. But O'Sullivan soon abandoned his original doctrine. In 1846 he supported a war of conquest against Mexico and in 1848 he urged that Cuba and Yucatan be made a part of the United States, by purchase or by force. O'Sullivan coined a catchy phrase for the expansionism of the 1840s, but his concept does not explain the motives, means, and goals behind aggrandizement. The historical evidence on this topic is abundant, contradictory, and often misleading."

"text": "Lee Harvey Oswald’s Motives By Mel Ayton After nearly 40 years the question remains: Why? What kind of rage, pain or pathology could have provoked Lee Harvey Oswald to such a dark deed? The explanation of Oswald’s motive for killing President Kennedy was buried with him. As JFK assassination expert Dr Martin Kelly has stated, “Oswald’s mental state does not have crisp, sharp-edged concepts, so it is problematic for (anyone) to write a causally structured account easily.” But I believe the mystery about Oswald’s motives can be partly explained by penetrating Oswald’s personal life, his ideological beliefs and his increasingly disturbed behaviour in the months leading up to the assassination. Most crime does not happen in a vacuum. They do not happen by blind chance - something causes them. Sometimes the reasons are social, sometimes psychological, most often both. The real answer as to why President Kennedy was killed centers around how Lee Harvey Oswald grew up as a misfit, having no real control or moral guidance with which to exist in, and poorly equipped to meet, the demands of society. Answers also lie in the way Oswald embraced a radical ideology in order to compensate for his lack of education and to enhance his self-image."

"text": "THE BLOG 06/18/2016 03:04 pm ET Updated Jun 19, 2017Why Donald Trump Should Not Be Elected President By Michael Duga It is difficult to find the words that would build my argument for voting against Donald Trump for President of the United States. It is much easier, however, to use Mr. Trump’s own words instead, for they provide a framework and pattern that I find disturbing and counter to those things for which I believe my country stands. I proceed in no particular order of importance: Mr. Trump’s style: Arrogance, braggadocio, self-aggrandizement, insulting - does not lend itself to the ability to govern, to accept compromise, or to understanding the viewpoints and objectives of others. As a representative of the US, he engenders more an image of distrust, win at any cost, and selfishness. Mr. Trump’s substance is also questionable: His vacillation on issues, disregard for basic Constitution-given rights and consideration of unintended consequences, and his motto-driven pandering demonstrate a simplistic understanding of the culture of this country. Mr. Trump’s personal criticism of one American-born citizen and its extension to an entire population is the epitome of class racism. Furthermore, it reveals a basic flaw in Mr. Trump’s childish bullying practices and paranoia: the rulings that are deemed as “unfair” because he didn’t get what he wanted. The proposal to build a wall separating Mexico “and have Mexico pay for it” promotes a first step toward isolationism, a tactic that will cause harm to the US economy, citizenry and image throughout the world. Mr. Trump’s continuous criticism of Muslims and his suggested ban on immigration are counter to long-established values and practices that are inherent in the Constitution and in the American experience. His blanket statements reveal the wrong things about American character."

Team members like to know what to expect. A good interviewer will come prepared with his/her understanding of what the current team needs to perform and what kind of leader can effectively usher them there. Your leadership style, as communicated in an interview, should acknowledge the flexibility and adaptability required of all leaders, but also come clean with your own tried-and-true style. As Karen Hood, HR Director of Virgin Atlantic says, “I’m looking for what their preferred or natural style is. What’s the style that you tend to feel comfortable with and you tend to use most of the time, under most circumstances?”Sometimes people mistakenly answer this question as if the interviewers themselves had asked: Will I like you? In this case, we advise you stay authentic to yourself, trust your experiences and celebrate your unique leadership style. If the HR Manager thinks they need a hard-nosed authoritarian and you are more emotionally driven, the fit might not be there – for either side."

He was born at Xativa, near Valencia in Spain, and his father's surname was Lanzol or Llançol; that of his mother's family, Borgia or Borja, was assumed by him on the elevation of his maternal uncle to the papacy as Callixtus III (April 8, 1455). He studied law at Bologna, and after his uncle's election he was created successively bishop, cardinal and vice-chancellor of the church, an act of nepotism characteristic of the age. He served in the Curia under five popes and acquired much administrative experience, influence and wealth, although no great power; he was economical in his habits; on occasion he displayed great splendor and lived in a fine palace. His manners were agreeable and his appearance fascinating, but, like many other prelates of the day, his morals were far from blameless, his two dominant passions being greed of gold and love of women, and he was devotedly fond of the children whom his mistresses bore him. Although ecclesiastical corruption was then at its height, his riotous mode of life called down upon him a very severe reprimand from Pope Pius II, who succeeded Calixtus III in 1458. Of his many mistresses the one for whom his passion lasted longest was a certain Vannozza (Giovanna) dei Cattani, born in 1442, and wife of three successive husbands. The connection began in 1470, and she bore him many children whom he openly acknowledged as his own: Giovanni, afterwards Duke of Gandia (born 1474), Cesare (born 1476), Lucrezia (born 1480), and Goffredo or Giuffre (born 1481 or 1482). His other children -- Girolamo, Isabella and Pier Luigi -- were of uncertain parentage. Before his elevation to the papacy Cardinal Borgia's passion for Vannozza somewhat diminished, and she subsequently led a very retired life."

Two nights after the populist and socialist Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, so did the plutocrat and sometime Republican Michael Bloomberg. The same night Bloomberg spoke, President Barack Obama gave an address about national unity and harmony, crafted as a response to Trump’s message of rage and fear from the Republican convention.“ [ W]hat we heard in Cleveland last week wasn’t particularly Republican,” Obama said. The same claim could be found from Obama’s committed opponents, in the #Never Trump realm of Republican Twitter, after he spoke: Text just now from a senior House Republican who gave me permission to tweet this: “We were supposed to make that sort of speech. \"\"— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) July 28, 2016It is strange to hear that the speech given by the presidential candidate of the Republican Party, delivered at the Republican National Convention, was not Republican. Donald Trump was onstage in Cleveland because 14 million Republican voters had put him there. Presented with a broad field of other possible nominees—senators, governors, a business executive, two medical doctors—the Republican Party overwhelmingly chose Trump. What does that make him if not Republican?"

It represents the first step that must be taken with any crime or civil dispute – learning what options are available to the victim under the current system. It is crucial that you understand the way the police and a large segment of the public view sweetheart scams. It is also crucial that you recognize the difficulty of obtaining justice for this fraud which is very rarely viewed as a crime. But possibly most importantly, it is vital that you, as a victim with first-hand experience, use whatever options the system offers to force the thief who stole from you to face some kind of consequences and inconveniences for the crime. If you are able to do this, it will help you regain some of the power you lost as a result of the betrayal. And it is possible that some of your actions might lead to punishment, either civil or criminal, for the thief. There are two options for justice when someone you know steals from you: criminal charges and civil suit. The chances of the first occurring are slim in today's criminal justice system for several reasons: under-funding of police departments and prosecutors and lack of training for police officers who investigate these charges and often determine prematurely that the issue is civil, not criminal."

Conflict theories draw attention to power differentials, such as class conflict, and generally contrast historically dominant ideologies. It is therefore a macro level analysis of society. Karl Marx is the father of the social conflict theory, which is a component of the four paradigms of sociology. Certain conflict theories set out to highlight the ideological aspects inherent in traditional thought. While many of these perspectives hold parallels, conflict theory does not refer to a unified school of thought, and should not be confused with, for instance, peace and conflict studies, or any other specific theory of social conflict. Contents [ hide ]1 In classical sociology2 Modern approaches3 Types4 See also5 Notes6 References In classical sociology [ edit]Of the classical founders of social science, conflict theory is most commonly associated with Karl Marx (1818–1883). Based on a dialectical materialist account of history, Marxism posited that capitalism, like previous socioeconomic systems, would inevitably produce internal tensions leading to its own destruction. Marx ushered in radical change, advocating proletarian revolution and freedom from the ruling classes. At the same time, Karl Marx was aware that most of the people living in capitalist societies did not see how the system shaped the entire operation of society."

"text": "Growing U. S. Involvement, the Atlantic Charter, and the Arcadia Conference From the beginning of the war in Europe, the sympathy of the American public was with the Allied cause; most Americans felt that a Nazi triumph would pose a grave threat to the United States. As German victory followed German victory, isolationist sentiment, originally strong, began to evaporate. From 1935, U. S. neutrality acts had forbidden the selling of war supplies to belligerent countries. In November 1939 a revised neutrality law authorized the sale of war supplies on a cash-and-carry basis but forbade U. S. vessels and nationals from traveling in combat zones. This act was intended to prevent direct U. S. involvement in the war through the sinking of U. S. vessels, a problem that had spurred the nation's involvement in World War I. From the beginning of the war, however, the British dominated the seas; the cash-and-carry law thus had the effect of favoring the British cause. The next year, President Roosevelt and the Congress began preparing for possible U. S. entry into the war. In September 1940 the first peacetime draft law in U. S. history provided for the registration of 17 million men. The Alien Registration Act of 1940 was aimed at curbing subversive activities. In March 1941, Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act, empowering the president to allow the shipment of vital war matériel to nations, primarily Great Britain, whose defense he considered to be necessary for U. S. security. Later that year the law was extended to include China and the USSR."

"text": "The Plan of San Luis Potosi (November 20, 1910)Peoples, in their constant efforts for the triumph of the ideal of liberty and justice, are forced, at precise historical moments, to make their greatest sacrifices. Our beloved country has reached one of those moments. A force of tyranny which we Mexicans were not accustomed to suffer after we won our independence oppresses us in such a manner that it has become intolerable. In exchange for that tyranny we are offered peace, but peace full of shame for the Mexican nation, because its basis is not law, but force; because its object is not the aggrandizement and prosperity of the country, but to enrich a small group who, abusing their influence, have converted the public charges into fountains of exclusively personal benefit, unscrupulously exploiting the manner of lucrative concessions and contracts. The legislative and judicial powers are completely subordinated to the executive; the division of powers, the sovereignty of the States, the liberty of the common councils, and the rights of the citizens exist only in writing in our great charter; but, as a fact, it may almost be said that martial law constantly exists in Mexico; the administration of justice, instead of imparting protection to the weak, merely serves to legalize the plunderings committed by the strong; the judges instead of being the representatives of justice, are the agents of the executive, whose interests they faithfully serve; the chambers of the union have no other will than that of the dictator; the governors of the States are designated by him and they in their turn designate and impose in like manner the municipal authorities. From this it results that the whole administrative, judicial, and legislative machinery obeys a single will, the caprice of General Porfirio Diaz, who during his long administration has shown that the principal motive that guides him is to maintain himself in power and at any cost. For many years profound discontent has been felt throughout the Republic, due to such a system of government, but General Diaz with great cunning and perseverance, has succeeded in annihilating all independent elements, so that it was not possible to organize any sort of movement to take from him the power of which he made such bad use. The evil constantly became worse, and the decided eagerness of General Diaz to impose a successor upon the nations in the person of Mr. Ramon Corral carried that evil to its limit and caused many of us Mexicans, although lacking recognized political standing, since it had been impossible to acquire it during the 36 years of dictatorship, to throw ourselves into the struggle to recover the sovereignty of the people and their rights on purely democratic grounds.... In Mexico, as a democratic Republic, the public power can have no other origin nor other basis than the will of the people, and the latter can not be subordinated to formulas to be executed in a fraudulent manner. . . , For this reason the Mexican people have protested against the illegality of the last election and, desiring to use successively all the recourses offered by the laws of the Republic, in due form asked for the nullification of the election by the Chamber of Deputies, notwithstanding they recognized no legal origin in said body and knew beforehand that, as its members were not the representatives of the people, they would carry out the will of General Diaz, to whom exclusively they owe their investiture. In such a state of affairs the people, who are the only sovereign, also protested energetically against the election in imposing manifestations in different parts of the Republic; and if the latter were not general throughout the national territory, It was due to the terrible pressure exercised by the Government, which always quenches in blood any democratic manifestation, as happened in Puebla, Vera Cruz, Tlaxcala, and in other places."

It is the theory which decides what can be observed.\"\" --Albert Einstein Source: In my own professional development, B. F. Skinner provided the principal challenge to my beliefs. Our first discussions, which began in the early 70’s, reflected our very different histories and polarized understandings of human nature --psychologically and spiritually. An experimental scientist and the father of strict behaviorism, Skinner argued that people are essentially socially conditioned; a student of theology and psychology, I saw God’s transforming role in human life. Skinner had low expectations of religion; I had high expectations. He found no sustenance through faith in God; I found faith in God to provide strength and direction. Skinner based the science of behaviorism upon determinism, a view of human beings as programmed, predetermined, and without free will . As a college sophomore, I recognized that his perspective negated the role of religion and God. Yet I marvelled that the behavioral methods he advanced creating contact with autistic children and facilitating change with those viewed as “unreachable.”"

Various State agencies were invited to participate in this process. The Council requested input with regard to processes and procedures from the following agencies: Texas Juvenile Probation Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Youth Commission, Community Corrections and Supervision Department, Department of Public Safety and the Governor’s office. The purpose of this White Paper is to present information that will clarify the impact of enacting or not enacting this legislation. Further, recommendations will be made to the legislature for their consideration. The SORNA and AWA are federal legislation that affects states’ registration/notification laws and attempts to make all states uniform with minimum standards that Congress has required to be included in every state’s laws. This legislation has generated much debate and concern throughout the country. States are free to not implement SORNA but non-compliance will result in a 10 percent reduction in Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funding. In 2007, Texas received $33 million or 3.3 million for sex offender registration. In 2008, Texas received $12 million or 1.2 million in Byrne funds."

"text": "Aggravated Assault Download Printable Document The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines aggravated assault as an unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. The UCR Program further specifies that this type of assault is usually accompanied by the use of a weapon or by other means likely to produce death or great bodily harm. Attempted aggravated assault that involves the display of—or threat to use—a gun, knife, or other weapon is included in this crime category because serious personal injury would likely result if the assault were completed. When aggravated assault and larceny-theft occur together, the offense falls under the category of robbery. Overview In 2011, there were an estimated 751,131 aggravated assaults in the nation. The estimated number of aggravated assaults in 2011 declined 3.9 percent when compared with data from 2010 and 15.7 percent when compared with the estimate for 2002. In 2011, the estimated rate of aggravated assaults was 241.1 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. A 10-year comparison of data from 2002 and 2011 showed that the rate of aggravated assaults in 2011 dropped 22.1 percent. ( See Tables 1 and 1A . ) Of the aggravated assault offenses in 2011 for which law enforcement agencies provided expanded data, 26.9 percent were committed with personal weapons such as hands, fists, or feet."

Community supervision (formerly called adult probation) may be ordered for misdemeanor or felony offenses and is generally imposed in lieu of a jail or prison sentence. A person receives probation or is placed on community supervision in Texas after a plea of guilty and a finding of guilt and the person is ordered to comply with the conditions of community supervision instead of receiving a jail or prison sentence. How long can you be on probation in Texas? A misdemeanor punishable by jail can be probated for up to two years. A felony can generally be probated for up to ten years. Early Release from Probation in Texas A judge may release a person from probation early for most cases at 1/3 time when it is in the best interest of society and the probationer."

"text": "Assault charges in Texas can range from a simple threat or argument, a fistfight or brawl, or a violent attack with a dangerous weapon. Under Texas law, you can be charged with assault resulting from an incident with no physical contact. Acts of Assault An act of assault can be one of three things: Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to another person. Intentionally or knowingly threatening someone with bodily injury. Intentionally or knowingly causing physical contact in a manner considered offensive or provocative. Reasonable Fear For a threat to rise to the level of a criminal assault, the threat has to put the person in reasonable fear of injury. Assault Arrests For the police to arrest you on the spot on an assault charge, they have to actually witness the act. If the police are not there to witness the assault, then they can write you a complaint (citation) or notice to appear in court, or they can seek an arrest warrant from a judge. The exception to this is with domestic assault or domestic violence accusations, in which case the police in Texas are authorized to arrest you and remove you from the premises. Texas Simple Assault – Laws & Penalties A simple assault that results in minor injuries is usually a Class A misdemeanor under Texas law."

"text": "\"Weapons Chargesby Free Advice staff Weapons charges include offenses that address the possession or use of weapons. Even though many people envision a defendant actually pulling a gun on a store clerk, weapons charges are broadly used and applied to prohibit the possession of certain weapons by any person or certain persons and to increase the range of punishment for the use of weapons during other offenses. What is a Weapons Charge? The term weapons charge globally refers to a broad set of charges that involve weapons. Most state statutes are divided into two categories of weapon charges: possession and use. The first category focuses on the mere possession of a certain weapons. A defendant can be charged and convicted of possessing an illegal weapon, even though no one was hurt, threatened, or even saw the weapon. Because of public policy concerns, many states have banned all persons from possessing certain categories of weapons. Some of these weapons include switch blade knives, brass knuckles, short barrel shotguns, and some types of pepper spray. Additionally, all states have rules that restrict access to weapons by certain persons."

"text": "March 4, 2012 | Posted in Violent Crimes Assault Causing Bodily Injury to a Family Member in Texas In Texas, most assault family violence cases are classified as Class A Misdemeanors. That means that for someone who has been arrested for assault causing bodily injury to a family member, at the very least, faces up to a year in jail and/or up to a $4,000.00 fine. These penalties don’t even include the collateral consequences of having a family violence conviction. Felony Assault Family Violence Charges in Texas Depending on the allegations in the case or on a variety of other factors, an assault family violence charge can also be enhanced to felony assault family violence. For example, if the defendant has a prior conviction for a family violence charge, the present assault case could be enhanced to a felony. Another example of when an assault on a family member charge could be enhanced to a felony is when there are allegations that the defendant “choked” the complainant. Additionally, if the injury is serious or a weapon was involved, the charge could even be elevated to felony aggravated assault on a family member.

Alexandria Vera, of Spring, had the boy as a student at the start of the 2015 school year and became pregnant in January, KHOU-TV reports. She had an abortion after the investigation began, authorities said. Vera was arrested in May 2016 and was sentenced in January 2016. She will be eligible for parole in five years. She pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child and faced a maximum of 30 years in prison. Her attorneys argued for probation and the sentencing was complicated because the family of the victim supported the relationship, the Houston Chronicle reports. She resigned from her position as an English teacher at Stovall Middle School in the Aldine Independent School District, which serves parts of Harris County, including portions of Houston. The victim was an eighth grader at the time of Vera’s arrest, police say."

This is certainly to be expected from a sector that has been subject to continued public intervention since the ninteenth century. While arguments of market failure, where the private sector would not provide the socially optimal amount of transportation service, have previously been used to justify the economic regulations which characterized the airline, bus, trucking, and rail industries, it is now generally agreed, and supported by empirical evidence, that the move to a deregulated system, in which the structure and conduct of the different modes are a result of the interplay of market forces occurring within and between modes, will result in greater efficiency and service. Many factors have led to a reexamination of where, and in which mode, transportation investments should take place. First, and perhaps most importantly, is the general move to place traditional government activities in a market setting. The privatization and corporatization of roadways and parts of the aviation systems are good examples of this phenomenon. Second, there is now a continual and increasing fiscal pressure exerted on all parts of the economy as the nation reduces the proportion of the economy’s resources which are appropriated by government. Third, there is increasing pressure to fully reflect the environmental, noise, congestion, and safety costs in prices paid by transportation system users. Finally, there is an avid interest in the prospect of new modes like high speed rail (HSR) to relieve airport congestion and improve in environmental quality. Such a major investment decision ought not be made without understanding the full cost implications of a technology or investment compared to alternatives."

Getty Images/Martin Pooleby Mike Moffatt Updated October 05, 2017The general increase in the price for goods in an economy is called inflation, and it is most commonly measured by the consumer price index (CPI) and the producer price index (PPI). When measuring inflation, it is not simply the increase in price, but the percentage increase or the rate at which the price of goods is increasing. Inflation is an important concept both in the study of economics and in real life applications because it affects people's purchasing power. Despite its simple definition, inflation can be an incredibly complex topic. In fact, there are several types of inflation, which are characterized by the cause that is driving the increase in prices. Here we will examine two types of inflation: cost-push inflation and demand-pull inflation. Causes of Inflation The terms cost-push inflation and demand-pull inflation are associated with Keynesian Economics. Without going into a primer on Keynesian Economics (a good one can be found at Econlib ), we can still understand the difference between two terms. The difference between inflation and a change in the price of a particular good or service is that inflation reflects a general and overall increase in price across the whole economy."

Benchmarking is a powerful management tool that enables hot-mix asphalt producers to monitor and compare critical factors that impact the profitability of their operation. It's a mechanism that allows senior management and plant operators to establish improvement targets in cost to produce per ton. Additionally, the various measurement criteria maintained in a benchmarking database provide an opportunity to evaluate cost control performance relative to those who do it the best in the business--the lowest cost producers. Data compiled by FMI Corporation, management consultants to the construction industry, in a performance benchmarking database, permits extensive analysis of criteria that impacts total production cost per ton produced. The criteria includes:-- Type of fuel used (natural gas, liquid propane, oil, coal, etc. );-- Ownership of quarry or sand and gravel pit in which the plant is located;-- Percentage of raw material acquired from outside suppliers (if the asphalt plant operator does not own his aggregate sources);--Tons produced (per plant);-- Percentage of virgin raw materials used for plant operations vs. percentage of recycled (RAP, glass, shingles, etc.) materials used.

Annual Total Labour Costs . ULABAC....... Key statistical concept The target variable for annual total labour costs is compensation of employees (COE) compiled according to the System of National Accounts 1993, adjusted for the self employed by multiplying COE by the ratio of total hours worked by all persons in employment to total hours worked by all employees of businesses. This target variable covers a significant part of total labour costs such as wages and salaries; bonuses; payments in kind related to labour services (e.g. food, fuel, housing); severance and termination pay and employers' contributions to pension schemes, casualty and life insurance and workers compensation. However, COE excludes some relevant items of total labour cost such as the cost of employee training, welfare amenities and recruitment; taxes on employment (e.g. payroll tax) and fringe benefits tax. Furthermore, the adjustment for the self employed assumes that labour compensation per hour or per person is equivalent for the self employed and employees of businesses."

In this lesson, you'll learn about the aggregate supply curve, including key concepts related to it. Definition of Aggregate Supply Curve An aggregate supply curve shows the quantity of all the goods and services that businesses in an economy will sell at a particular price level. In the long run, the aggregate supply curve is vertical, but the aggregate supply curve will be upward sloping in the short run. Vertical Long Run of Slope As said earlier, the aggregate supply curve is completely vertical in the long run. You're probably asking yourself why. The total production of goods and services in an economy is its real gross domestic product (GDP). In the long-run, GDP depends on the supply of labor, capital, land, natural resources, and the availability of technology to turn these resources into goods and services. In the long run, these factors of production determine the quantity of goods and services that are supplied in an economy. This quantity is the same regardless of a price level."

Getty Images/Martin Pooleby Mike Moffatt Updated October 05, 2017The general increase in the price for goods in an economy is called inflation, and it is most commonly measured by the consumer price index (CPI) and the producer price index (PPI). When measuring inflation, it is not simply the increase in price, but the percentage increase or the rate at which the price of goods is increasing. Inflation is an important concept both in the study of economics and in real life applications because it affects people's purchasing power. Despite its simple definition, inflation can be an incredibly complex topic. In fact, there are several types of inflation, which are characterized by the cause that is driving the increase in prices. Here we will examine two types of inflation: cost-push inflation and demand-pull inflation. Causes of Inflation The terms cost-push inflation and demand-pull inflation are associated with Keynesian Economics. Without going into a primer on Keynesian Economics (a good one can be found at Econlib ), we can still understand the difference between two terms. The difference between inflation and a change in the price of a particular good or service is that inflation reflects a general and overall increase in price across the whole economy."

"text": "\"Introduction to Macroeconomics Macroeconomics is the study of the aggregate performance of the economy. The unemployment rate, which measures the ratio of the number of people unsuccessfully looking for work to the total labor force, is one important indicator. Another key macroeconomic indicator is the the rate of inflation, which you will recall is the average rate of change of the prices for all goods and services. The theory of economic growth, which we covered as our first major topic in this course, explains the growth of potential output, assuming that the economy's resources are fully utilized. However, economies have spent long periods of time operating below potential, giving rise to the issues of macroeconomics. Although the Great Depression of the 1930's was not the first business cycle downturn, it was dramatic in terms of its severity, particularly in contrast with the prosperity of the previous decade. In the middle of this crisis, British economist John Maynard Keynes created a new theoretical framework that became the basis for what we teach as macroeconomics. Prior to Keynes, what theories there were about unemployment offered little guidance for how to cure it. Keynes showed how the government can use budget policy and monetary policy to prevent the sort of long, severe slump that occurred in the 1930's. Macroeconomics is filled with controversy."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Social Sciences The Slope of the Aggregate Demand Curve Share Flipboard Email Print Upper Cut Images/Upper Cut Images/Getty Imagesby Jodi Beggs Updated March 31, 2017Students learn in microeconomics that the demand curve for a good, which shows the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity of the good that consumers demand- i.e. are willing, ready, and able to purchase- has a negative slope. This negative slope reflects the observation that people demand more of almost all goods when they gets cheaper and vice versa. ( This is known as the law of demand. ) What Is the Aggregate Demand Curve in Macroeconomics? In contrast, the aggregate demand curve used in macroeconomics shows the relationship between the overall (i.e. average) price level in an economy, usually represented by the GDP Deflator, and the total amount of all goods demanded in an economy. ( Note that \"\"goods\"\" in this context technically refers to both goods and services. ) Specifically, the aggregate demand curve shows real GDP, which, in equilibrium, represents both total output and total income in an economy, on its horizontal axis. ( Technically, in the context of aggregate demand, the Y on the horizontal axis represents aggregate expenditure .) As it turns out, the aggregate demand curve also slopes downwards, giving a similar negative relationship between price and quantity that exists with the demand curve for a single good. The reason that the aggregate demand curve has a negative slope, however, is quite different."

"text": "IS-LM Model Definition The IS-LM ( I nvestment S aving – L iquidity Preference M oney Supply) model is a macroeconomic model that graphically represents two intersecting curves. The investment/saving (IS) curve is a variation of the income-expenditure model incorporating market interest rates (demand), while the liquidity preference/money supply equilibrium (LM) curve represents the amount of money available for investing (supply). The model explains the decisions made by investors when it comes to investments with the amount of money available and the interest they will receive. Equilibrium is achieved when the amount invested equals the amount available to invest. [ 1]Despite many shortcomings, the IS-LM model has been one of the main tools for macroeconomic teaching and policy analysis. The IS-LM model describes the aggregate demand of the economy using the relationship between output and interest rates. In a closed economy, in the goods market, a rise in interest rate reduces aggregate demand, usually investment demand and/or demand for consumer durables. This lowers the level of output and results in equating the quantity demanded with the quantity produced. This condition is equal to the condition that planned investment equals saving. The negative relationship between interest rate and output is known as the IS curve."

The statement that \"\"if firms adjusted their prices every day, then the short-runaggregate-supply curve would be horizontal\"\" is false. If firms adjusted prices quickly andif sticky prices were the only possible cause for the upward slope of the short-runaggregate supply curve, then the short-run aggregate-supply curve would be vertical, nothorizontal. The short-run aggregate supply curve would be horizontal only if prices werecompletely fixed.d. The statement that \"\"whenever the economy enters a recession, its long-run aggregate-supply curve shifts to the left\"\" is false. An economy could enter a recession if theaggregate-demand curve or the short-run aggregate-supply curve shift to the left.6. a. According to the sticky-wage theory, the economy is in a recession because the pricelevel has declined so that real wages are too high, thus labour demand is too low. Overtime, as nominal wages are adjusted so that real wages decline, the economy returns tofull employment."

"text": "\"Related Articles1Differences Between Aggregate Demand Curve and Market Curve2Difference Between Individual Demand & Market Demand3What Is the Relationship Between the Individual Demand Curves & the Market Demand Curve for Goods?4What Is a Demand Curve That Is Downward Sloping? The difference between market demand and aggregate demand delineates the fundamental difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics is concerned with the supply and demand of specific goods and services. Macroeconomics is concerned with a nation's total supply and demand of all goods and services. Market demand is the \"\"demand\"\" side of the equation in microeconomics, whereas aggregate demand is the same in macroeconomics. Market Demand If the price of your favorite brand of coffee was to double, placing it out of reach of your household budget, you might switch brands or stop drinking coffee altogether. Similarly, if other users of your favorite coffee did as you, the \"\"market demand\"\" for that particular coffee brand would be adversely affected. The classic economic model of market demand focuses on fluctuations in the demand for a product or service based on the perception of price of that product or service. Some of the variables that market demand depends on include: price, household incomes, number of consumers or households demanding a product or service and the availability of cheaper substitutes. Understanding Market Demand The success of your business depends on your ability to understand the demand for your products or services in order to marshal your company resources to satisfy that demand."

"text": "\"SHORT-RUN AGGREGATE SUPPLY CURVE: A graphical representation of the short-run relation between real production and the price level, holding all ceteris paribus aggregate supply determinants constant. The short-run aggregate supply, or SRAS, curve is one of two curves that graphical capture the supply-side of the aggregate market. The other is the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS). The demand-side of the aggregate market is occupied by the aggregate demand curve. The positive slope of the SRAS curve captures the direct relation between real production and the price level that exists in the short run. The short-run aggregate supply curve captures the relation between real production and the price level. As the price level rises, real production is greater. As the price level falls, real production also declines. The interaction between the short-run aggregate supply curve and the aggregate demand curve, as well as the long-run aggregate supply curve is the core mechanism of the aggregate market (AS-AD) analysis. This analysis is then used to explain and understand macroeconomic phenomenon, including business cycles, inflation, unemployment, and stabilization policies."

"text": "INTEREST-RATE EFFECT: A change in aggregate expenditures on real production, especially those made by the household and business sectors, that results because a change in the price level alters the interest rate which then affects the cost of borrowing. This is one of three effects underlying the negative slope of the aggregate demand curve associated with a movement along the aggregate demand curve and a change in aggregate expenditures. The other two are real-balance effect and net-export effect. The interest-rate effect is one of three basic effects that indicates why aggregate expenditures are inversely related to the price level. The interest-rate effect works like this: A higher price level induces an increase in the interest rate which results in a decrease in borrowing used for consumption expenditures and investment expenditures. A lower price level has the opposite affect, inducing a decrease in the interest rate which triggers an increase in borrowing used for consumption expenditures and investment expenditures. Along the Curve Before examining the details of the interest-rate effect, consider the specifics of what it does. A typical aggregate demand curve is presented in the exhibit to the right. The negative slope of the aggregate demand curve captures the inverse relation between the price level and aggregate expenditures on real production. When the price level changes, the interest-rate effect is activated, which is what then results in a change in aggregate expenditures and the movement long the aggregate demand curve."

Aggregate Supply (AS) is value of total output that all the firms are willing to supply during the given time period. AD indicates the total demand in the economy, while AS shows the total supply in the economy (both are planned, not actual). AD includes all the sectors whereas AS just deals with the Firm sector. AS is also known as the National Product/National Income/GDP, because when firms supply the output, they generate income to the factors of production. And the value of output produced = income generated, so AS = Y or GDP.1.2k Views · View Upvoterspromoted by Honey What's your secret to saving money?

First, however, we need to set up what an aggregate demand and aggregate supply diagram looks like. We will do that in the next section.02of 08Aggregate Demand & Aggregate Supply Practice Question - Set-Up Aggregate Demand & Supply 1. This framework is quite similar to a supply and demand framework, but with the following changes: Downward sloping demand curve becomes aggregate demand curve Upward sloping supply curve becomes aggregate supply curve Instead of \"\"price\"\" on the Y-axis, we have \"\"price-level\"\". Instead of \"\"quantity\"\" on the X-axis, we have \"\"Real GDP\"\", a measure of the size of the economy. We will use the diagram below as a base case and show how events in the economy influence the price level and Real GDP.03of 08Aggregate Demand & Aggregate Supply Practice Question - Part 1Aggregate Demand & Supply 2. Use an aggregate demand and aggregate supply diagram to illustrate and explain how each of the following will affect the equilibrium price level and real GDP: Consumers Expect a Recession If the consumer expects a recession then they will not spend as much money today as to \"\"save for a rainy day\"\". Thus if spending has decreased, then our aggregate demand must decrease. An aggregate demand decrease is shown as a shift to the left of the aggregate demand curve, as shown below. Note that this has caused both Real GDP to decrease as well as the price level."

"text": "US Economy Demand Aggregate Demand, Its Components, and How to Calculate It Six Determinants and Five Components of Aggregate Demand Share Flip Pin Email•••By Kimberly Amadeo Updated March 29, 2018Aggregate demand is the overall demand for all goods and services in an entire economy. It's a macroeconomic term that describes the relationship between everything bought within a country and prices. Everything purchased in a country is the same thing as everything produced in a country. Therefore, aggregate demand equals the gross domestic product of that economy. It follows the law of demand that says people will want more good and services when prices fall. That assumes the other things that drive demand don't change. Economists call this ceteris paribus, or all other things being equal. It means that the other five determinants of demand stay the same. They are income, prices of related goods or services (whether complementary or substitutes), tastes, and expectations. The sixth determinant that only affects aggregate demand is the number of buyers in the economy."

When people talk about supply in the U. S. economy, they are usually referring to aggregate supply. The typical time frame is a year. That time frame is important because supply changes more slowly than demand. For example, demand can rise quickly, but companies can't ramp up production as fast. When demand drops, it can take companies months to reduce supply. They've got to close factories and lay off workers. That's why there's a big difference between supply in the short-run versus the long-run. Short-run supply depends on price. As demand rises, customers are willing to pay a higher price."

"text": "Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply Section 01: Aggregate Demand As discussed in the previous lesson, the aggregate expenditures model is a useful tool in determining the equilibrium level of output in the economy. It does have a significant flaw, however: the aggregate expenditures model does not take into account the impact of the price level on aggregate output. The Aggregate Demand Curve (AD) represents, in that sense, an even more appropriate model of aggregate output, because it shows the various amounts of goods and services which domestic consumers (C), businesses (I), the government (G), and foreign buyers (NX) collectively will desire at each possible price level. Let’s begin by showing the relationship between the aggregate expenditures model and the AD curve. In the graph below, we show the standard aggregate expenditures curve at three different price levels. When prices are high (P1), Consumption is low; as prices fall to P2 and P3, Consumption rises. As the Consumption function shifts upward due to the falling prices, the equilibrium level of GDP goes up from GDP1 to GDP3. This is depicted in the AD framework as a downward sloping AD curve. Why does it make sense for the AD curve to slope downward and to the right? We will suggest three different rationales for the downward sloped curve: the real balances effect, the interest rate effect, and the foreign purchases effect."

"text": "A: Supply and demand expresses a relationship between what producers supply and what consumers demand in economics. Aggregate supply and demand is the total supply and total demand in an economy at a particular period of time and particular price threshold. A curve is used to graph the aggregate supply and aggregate demand. These curves illustrate the relationships among price points, time, supply, and demand levels. Price increases typically result in a decrease in demand and increase in supply. Decreases in price generally have an inverse result. Curves may be created using gross domestic product (GDP) figures for individual countries. The law of supply and demand demonstrates the direct relationship between supply and demand allowing economists to create aggregate supply and aggregate demand curves. Increased supply generally occurs in response to a demand increase and results in lower prices over time. The amount of time required for businesses to respond to an increase in demand by increasing production varies significantly, depending on the product and industry."

I want to graphically show this now. I will use the 3-stage aggregate supply curve to show this. David Latzko has a wonderful graph of this that allows me to explain. We see three stages shown by the colors red, green and blue. The red stage represents a deep slump where utilization of available labor and capital is at a low level. As real GDP increases, there is little inflationary pressure. An increase in money velocity or money supply will tend to show up in increased real output and not higher prices. The green stage shows that utilization of labor and capital is increasing and beginning to reach full capacity. In this 2nd stage, the increase in real GDP is accompanied by an increase in the aggregate price level."

Working with query filters is far from trivial. Over the next couple of months I’ll discuss query filters that T-SQL supports, query filters that standard SQL defines but that aren’t implemented in SQL Server (as of SQL Server 2008 R2), query filters that database platforms other than SQL Server support, and query filters that aren’t standard and that no platform currently supports but that are useful. This month I focus on predicate-based filters. Next month I’ll cover other types of filters. In my examples I use a sample database called Inside TSQL2008. You can download the source code to create and populate the sample database from www. Inside TSQL.com/books/source_code/Inside TSQL2008.zip. Predicates T-SQL is based on standard SQL (both ISO and ANSI standards), which in turn is based on the relational model, which in turn is based on two mathematical branches: set theory and predicate logic.

Attributes participating in natural hierarchies are materialized on disk in hierarchy stores and are automatically considered to be aggregation candidates. User hierarchies are not considered to be natural hierarchies unless the attributes comprising the levels are related through cascading attribute relationships. With SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (SP2), a warning appears in Business Intelligence Development Studio with each user hierarchy that is not defined as a natural hierarchy.

"text": "\"Print Subscribe to ONJava Subscribe to Newsletters The Effective Use of Joins in Select Statementsby Satya Komatineni 01/07/2004There is a school of thought that one programming language could be used for all purposes in developing a solution. For example, if I am a Java programmer, I must be able to do not only my business logic and presentation in Java, but also my persistence in Java, as well. A good goal, certainly, to have. But practicality has a wicked sense of humor and shows up at the table as SQL. With sleeves drawn up, we, the Java programmers, start to tackle the first citizen of the SQL, called select. Very quickly, we meet these quirky things called join s. Our original suspicion that we should be sticking to Java is quickly reinforced as the syntax and oddities of join s put us on the defense and suddenly seem to show Java in a shining light. But the task at hand is unwavering and your boss is quite certain that it can't be all that hard to write a few SQL statements. The story of one such journey from a simple select to a practical, everyday select is presented here in a set of 11 principles. I am hoping this article will be a good companion to non-relational programming languages such as Java, C#, and Perl. The provided examples use SQL Server syntax, but should be applicable to most databases."

For numeric arguments, the variance and standard deviation functions return a DOUBLE value. The SUM () and AVG () functions return a DECIMAL value for exact-value arguments (integer or DECIMAL ), and a DOUBLE value for approximate-value arguments ( FLOAT or DOUBLE ). The SUM () and AVG () aggregate functions do not work with temporal values. ( They convert the values to numbers, losing everything after the first nonnumeric character.) To work around this problem, convert to numeric units, perform the aggregate operation, and convert back to a temporal value. Examples: SELECT SEC_TO_TIME ( SUM ( TIME_TO_SEC ( time_col))) FROM tbl_name;SELECT FROM_DAYS ( SUM ( TO_DAYS ( date_col))) FROM tbl_name;Functions such as SUM () or AVG () that expect a numeric argument cast the argument to a number if necessary."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The Greek lowercase omega (ω) character is used to represent Null in database theory. Null (or NULL) is a special marker used in Structured Query Language to indicate that a data value does not exist in the database. Introduced by the creator of the relational database model, E. F. Codd, SQL Null serves to fulfil the requirement that all true relational database management systems (RDBMS) support a representation of \"\"missing information and inapplicable information\"\". Codd also introduced the use of the lowercase Greek omega (ω) symbol to represent Null in database theory. In SQL, NULL is a reserved word used to identify this marker. This should not be confused with a value of 0. A null value indicates a lack of a value — a lack of a value is not the same thing as a value of zero in the same way that a lack of an answer is not the same thing as an answer of \"\"no\"\". For example, consider the question \"\"How many books does Adam own?\"\" The answer may be \"\"zero\"\" (we know that he owns none) or \"\"null\"\" (we do not know how many he owns). In a database table, the column reporting this answer would start out with no value (marked by Null), and it would not be updated with the value \"\"zero\"\" until we have ascertained that Adam owns no books."

"text": "Aggregate functions The GROUP BY clause The HAVING clause The aggregate functions – COUNT, SUM , AVG, MAX, MIN and LIST – don't handle NULL in the same way as ordinary functions and operators. Instead of returning NULL as soon as a NULL operand is encountered, they only take non- NULL fields into consideration while computing the outcome. That is, if you have this table: My Table ID Name Amount1 John 372 Jack NULL3 Jim 54 Joe 125 Josh NULL...the statement select sum (Amount) from My Table returns 54, which is 37 + 5 + 12. Had all five fields been summed, the result would have been NULL. For AVG, the non- NULL fields are summed and the sum divided by the number of non- NULL fields. There is one exception to this rule: COUNT (*) returns the count of all rows, even rows whose fields are all NULL. But COUNT ( Field Name) behaves like the other aggregate functions in that it only counts rows where the specified field is not NULL . Another thing worth knowing is that COUNT (*) and COUNT ( Field Name) never return NULL: if there are no rows in the set, both functions return 0. COUNT ( Field Name) also returns 0 if all Field Name fields in the set are NULL. The other aggregate functions return NULL in such cases."

PIVOT rotates a table-valued expression by turning the unique values from one column in the expression into multiple columns in the output, and performs aggregations where they are required on any remaining column values that are wanted in the final output. UNPIVOT performs the opposite operation to PIVOT by rotating columns of a table-valued expression into column values. Note When PIVOT and UNPIVOT are used against databases that are upgraded to SQL Server 2005 or later, the compatibility level of the database must be set to 90 or higher. For information about how to set the database compatibility level, see sp_dbcmptlevel (Transact-SQL).

"text": "\"SQL WITH clause tricks Oracle SQL Tips by Donald Burleson F ebruary 23, 2015Starting in Oracle9i release 2 we saw an incorporation of the SQL-99 WITH clause (a.k.a. subquery factoring ), a tool for materializing subqueries to save Oracle from having to re-compute them multiple times. The SQL WITH clause is very similar to the use of Global temporary tables (GTT), a technique that is often used to improve query speed for complex subqueries. Here are some important notes about the Oracle WITH clause: - The SQL WITH clause only works on Oracle 9i release 2 and beyond. - Formally, the WITH clause is called subquery factoring - The SQL WITH clause is used when a subquery is executed multiple times - Also useful for recursive queries (SQL-99, but not Oracle SQL) Let's take a closer look at how the Oracle SQL WITH clause works: All Stores with above-average sales To keep it simple, the following example only references the aggregations once, where the SQL WITH clause is normally used when an aggregation is referenced multiple times in a query. Here is an example of a request to see the names of all stores with above-average sales. For each store, we must compare their average sales to the average sales for all stores. Essentially, this query accesses the STORE and SALES tables, comparing the sales for each store with the average sales for all stores. To answer this query we must know:? The total sales for all stores.?"

The first index created on a view must be a unique clustered index. After the unique clustered index has been created, you can create more nonclustered indexes. Creating a unique clustered index on a view improves query performance because the view is stored in the database in the same way a table with a clustered index is stored. The query optimizer may use indexed views to speed up the query execution. The view does not have to be referenced in the query for the optimizer to consider that view for a substitution. Before You Begin The following steps are required to create an indexed view and are critical to the successful implementation of the indexed view: Verify the SET options are correct for all existing tables that will be referenced in the view. Verify that the SET options for the session are set correctly before you create any tables and the view. Verify that the view definition is deterministic.

For Tax Year 2017, the IRS will not consider a return complete and accurate if the taxpayer does not report coverage for the year, an exemption or a payment. Most taxpayers have qualifying health care coverage for all 12 months in the year, and will check the \"\"Full-year coverage\"\" box On Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ. If you or anyone in your family claims an exemption from the requirement to have minimum essential coverage, you're not required to make a shared responsibility payment for any month that you qualify for the exemption. If you are not otherwise required to file a tax return, you do not need to file a return solely to report your coverage or to claim an exemption from the coverage requirement. To find out if you qualify for an exemption use our interactive tool, Am I Eligible for a Coverage Exemption or Required to Make an Individual Shared Responsibility Payment? Most Exemptions are claimed when you file your return You can claim most exemptions using Form 8965, Health Coverage Exemptions, when you file your tax return. If you or anyone in your family qualifies for a coverage exemption on your tax return, you must file Form 8965, Health Coverage Exemptions, with your tax return. You do not need to call the IRS to get this coverage exemption in advance. If you are not required to file a federal income tax return for a year because your gross income is below your return filing threshold, you are automatically exempt from the shared responsibility provision for that year and do not need to take any further action to secure an exemption."

This unfortunate trend may leave you wondering if you have any recourse to save money and reduce the impact of costly healthcare at all. Plus, if you were not covered by health insurance previously, you may have been required to purchase it with the implementation of the individual health insurance mandate in 2014. Though some income groups receive assistance to afford coverage, many do not and face a fine for not purchasing adequate coverage. Fortunately, you may be able to effectively reduce your healthcare costs by taking advantage of the range of available healthcare-related tax deductions. How to Claim Health-Related Tax Deductions Through conventional deductions on Schedule A and a special tax break for self-employed workers, you can recover a lot of the money you’ve spent on health issues. Schedule AThe most common and familiar method for lowering your tax liability due to health expenses is to itemize your deductions and include medical expenses on Schedule A. You can deduct qualified healthcare costs that are greater than 10% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). Though for many that income threshold is high, there are a range of expenses you can claim that qualify to meet it. For example, if your AGI is $40,000 in 2013, then the 10% minimum would be $4,000. If your medical costs for the year are $5,000, then you can include the $1,000 difference in your itemized deduction for that year."

With groups such as small businesses, the insurer has determined a premium price based on risk factors balanced over the entire group, using general information on members of the group, such as age or gender. Small businesses often pay more for employee health benefits because they don't have the buying power of big employers. On average, small businesses paid about eight to 18 percent more than large firms for the same health insurance policy. Health coverage providers may charge different premiums to small employers based on the industry of the employer or on the employer’s prior health claims. As both workers and small employers feel the financial squeeze, fewer are able to afford to offer, or purchase, health insurance coverage. States most often review or approve policies that are offered directly to consumers or to small employers. Most states have had laws that require state-licensed health insuring organizations to provide coverage to small employers that want it, with some limitation on the rates that can be charged (e.g., restrictions on how premiums can vary based on age and health status). The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or ACA (P. L. 111-148) assisted and affected small and large businesses in a number of ways.

Aggregate Data Quality Incentive Program (ADQIP)ADQIP is the data quality program for financial call reporting. This program provides carriers with an incentive to submit aggregate data in a timely and accurate manner by offering credits for early reporting of key ratemaking Calls. ADQIP also reallocates the costs of late and/or inaccurate reporting back to the carriers who are not reporting financial data in a timely and accurate manner by levying assessments on carriers for Financial Calls that are not received by NCCI on or before the required date.

"text": "Medical Stop Loss Coverage While employers take on the financial risk when self insuring, they are able to limit their risk through the purchase of medical stop-loss insurance policies. The stop-loss policy is one of the most crucial elements of a self insured plan. Compared to many other types of liability coverage the medical stop loss policy form is fairly straightforward, often having fifteen or fewer pages with a relatively small amount of standard exclusions. However, the different contract types and variations in terms and conditions can be confusing. Types of Coverage There are two forms of stop loss coverage: individual (or specific) stop loss and aggregate stop loss. Individual (specific): This coverage protects against large, catastrophic claims incurred by a single individual. Individual stop loss reimburses the employer when claims for an individual exceed a specific deductible. Deductibles typically range from as low as $40,000 to as high as $500,000 depending on several factors including group size and risk tolerance. Under the PPACA employers are now prohibited from capping lifetime limits for “essential health benefits”. Therefore, it is important for employers to insure with carriers that also provide unlimited lifetime benefits to the extent they want their stop loss coverage to mirror their obligations under the healthcare reform."

The 0.9 percent Additional Medicare Tax applies to an individual’s wages, Railroad Retirement Tax Act compensation and self-employment income that exceeds a threshold amount based on the individual’s filing status. The threshold amounts are $250,000 for married taxpayers who file jointly, $125,000 for married taxpayers who file separately and $200,000 for all other taxpayers. An employer is responsible for withholding the Additional Medicare Tax from wages or compensation it pays to an employee in excess of $200,000 in a calendar year. On Nov. 26, 2013, the IRS and the Department of the Treasury issued final regulations which provide guidance for employers and individuals relating to the implementation of Additional Medicare Tax, including the requirement to withhold Additional Medicare Tax on certain wages and compensation, the requirement to report Additional Medicare Tax, and the employer process for adjusting underpayments and overpayments of Additional Medicare Tax. In addition, the regulations provide guidance on the employer and individual processes for filing a claim for refund for an overpayment of Additional Medicare Tax. For additional information on the Additional Medicare Tax, see our questions and answers. Adoption Credit For tax years 2010 and 2011, the Affordable Care Act raised the maximum adoption credit per child and the credit was refundable. For more information related to the adoption credit for tax years 2010 and 2011, see our news release, tax tip, Notice 2010-66, Revenue Procedure 2010-31, Revenue Procedure 2010-35 and Revenue Procedure 2011-52.

What are the employer shared responsibility provisions? The employer shared responsibility provisions were added under section 4980H of the Internal Revenue Code by the Affordable Care Act. Under these provisions, certain employers (called applicable large employers or ALEs) must either offer health coverage that is “affordable” and that provides “minimum value” to their full-time employees (and offer coverage to the full-time employees’ dependents), or potentially make an employer shared responsibility payment to the IRS, if at least one of their full-time employees receives a premium tax credit for purchasing individual coverage on a Health Insurance Marketplace (Marketplace), also called the Exchange. Whether an employer is an ALE and is therefore subject to the employer shared responsibility provisions depends on the size of its workforce. In general, employers employing at least a certain threshold number of employees (generally 50 full-time employees including full-time equivalent employees, which means a combination of part-time employees that count as one or more full-time employees) are ALEs. The vast majority of employers fall below the ALE size threshold and therefore are not subject to the employer shared responsibility provisions.2. When did the employer shared responsibility provisions go into effect?"

"text": "Health Insurance Coverage for People with HIV Under the Affordable Care Act: Experiences in Five States Jennifer Kates, Lindsey Dawson, Tresa Undem, and Kathleen Perry Published: Dec 19, 2014Facebook Twitter Linked In Email Print Executive Summary Issue Brief Appendix Endnotes Introduction Assuring that all people living with HIV have continuous access to high quality health care, particularly to antiretroviral therapy (ART), is essential for addressing the ongoing HIV epidemic in the U. S. Indeed, antiretroviral therapy is not only critical for the health and longevity of people with HIV, it has also been shown to significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission. 1 For these reasons, current federal HIV treatment guidelines recommend initiation of ART as soon as one is diagnosed, as well as regular care and monitoring. 2 However, the majority of people with HIV in the U. S. are not yet engaged in care and not on ART. 3 Improving access to health coverage is one key component to addressing this gap. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), signed into law in 2010, aims to expand access to affordable health coverage for millions of Americans, including people with HIV. While several provisions of the ACA have implications for people with HIV, two are expected the have the most far reaching effects on coverage – the expansion of Medicaid, in states that choose to expand, and the creation of health insurance marketplaces in each state where individuals can purchase private coverage, along with subsidized coverage for those with low and moderate incomes. However, despite the ACA’s reforms, not all people with HIV will gain new forms of insurance. In addition, even those who do may need further assistance in accessing and paying for health coverage and certain types of services that are important for HIV care, such as case management, may remain unreimbursed in traditional systems of care. For these individuals, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program, the nation’s safety net for people with HIV who are uninsured and underinsured, will continue to be critical. To provide greater insight into what the ACA has meant for people with HIV, this report examines their early experiences based on ten focus groups conducted in five states – California, Florida, Georgia, New York, and Texas – between June and September of 2014 (see Methodology for more detail)."

"text": "What is Self-Insure 'Self-insure'Self-insure is a risk management technique in which a company or individual sets aside a pool of money to be used to remedy an unexpected loss. Theoretically, one can self-insure against any type of loss. In practice, however, most people choose to purchase insurance against potentially large, infrequent losses. For example, most people choose to purchase auto insurance and health insurance from an insurance company rather than self-insure against car accidents or serious illness. Next Up Discounted Stop-Loss Cover Aggregate Excess Insurance Adequacy Of Coverage Insurance BREAKING DOWN 'Self-insure'Self-insuring against certain losses may be more economical than buying insurance from a third party. The more predictable and smaller the loss is, the more likely it is that an individual or firm will choose to self-insure. The idea is that since the insurance company aims to make a profit by charging premiums in excess of expected losses, a self-insured person should be able to save money by simply setting aside the money that would have been paid out as insurance premiums. Example of the Self-Insure Method For example, the owners of a building situated atop a hill adjacent to a floodplain may opt against paying costly annual premiums for flood insurance but instead choose to set aside money for repairs to the building in the relatively unlikely event that flood waters would ever rise high enough to damage their building.

"text": "One of the earliest provisions rolled out under the 2010 Affordable Care Act allows young adults to remain on their parents’ health insurance plan until they reach age 26. It was immediately popular. Before the law, dependent children often “aged out” of their parents’ health plan at age 19, or 22 if they were full-time students. Last year, an estimated 7.8 million adults between the ages of 19 and 25 were able to either join or stay on their parents’ plans, according to the Commonwealth Fund’s 2013 annual tracking survey. The figure includes 3.3 million young adults between 19 and 22 who were not full-time students and 4.5 million young adults age 23 to 25. In 2014, options for young adults, many of whom either aren’t offered health insurance at their jobs or can’t afford it, will expand again with the opening of the state health insurance marketplaces and the expansion of the Medicaid program to low-income adults in many states. Here’s what to look for: Q. Who’s allowed to stay on their parents’ plan? A. Nearly all young people can do so until age 26, even if they’re married, financially independent and no longer live with their parents. Young adults who are offered coverage through their own jobs can choose that plan or stick with their parents’ plan if they prefer. Q. What about young adults whose parents don’t have insurance on the job?"

"text": "Louise Norris Individual health insurance and health reform authority; broker April 10, 2018Starting with the 2015 tax season (for 2014 returns), tax returns began including information about health insurance. For most insured Americans, reporting coverage to the IRS is a very simple process, and involves checking a box stating that they had coverage during the year. This applies to everyone who has Medicaid, Medicare, employer-sponsored health insurance, or individual market coverage (including on and off-exchange coverage, along with grandmothered and grandfathered plans). But what if you didn’t have health insurance? There’s a tax penalty for not having coverage, but people without coverage are actually more likely to qualify for an exemption from the penalty than to be subject to the penalty. In January 2016, the IRS reported that 7.9 million tax filers were subject to the penalty based on being uninsured in 2014, while 12.4 million tax filers claimed an exemption from the penalty. Similarly, the IRS reported in January 2017 that for the 2015 tax year, 6.5 million tax filers were subject to the penalty, while 12.7 million filers claimed an exemption (the total uninsured rate dropped from 2014 to 2015, so the total number of tax filers who had no insurance in 2015 was lower). The penalty will eventually be repealed, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted in December 2017. But the legislation doesn’t repeal the individual mandate penalty until 2019. For 2018 and all prior years, the individual mandate penalty remains in effect."

Business Penalties Who Avoids the Penalty? Health Insurance Tax Penalty for Lack of Coverage or Under-Coverage One of the more controversial and debated aspects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the penalty it imposes on individuals who do not choose to enroll in a health insurance plan that meets the minimum essential coverage requirements. Known ashe Individual Shared Responsibility Payment, the penalty applies to the majority of legal residents of the United States starting on January 1, 2014. The tax penalty amount cannot exceed yearly cost of the national average premium for a Bronze plan offered on a health insurance exchange. In other words, the Bronze plan’s average monthly premium times twelve. The Individual Shared Responsibility Tax is sometimes referred by other names such as the uninsured tax or the Obamacare penalty.2014In 2014 uninsured individuals faced a penalty equal to the greater of:1) $95 per adult, $47.50 per child, with a maximum of $285 for a familyor2) 1% of modified adjusted gross household income For example, people without coverage during the entire year whose income after tax adjustments was $25,000 were required to pay a penalty of $250 since 1% of their income is $250 and $250 is greater than the flat fee penalty of $95. In July 2014, the IRS announced that the maximum penalty an uninsured individual must pay in 2014 was $2,448. The maximum penalty for an uninsured family with five or members was$12,240.2015The uninsured penalty substantially increased in 2015 and individuals who did not have Minimum Essential Coveragewere faced with a penalty equal to the greater of:1) $325 per adult, $162.50 per child, with a maximum of $975 for a familyor2) 2% of modified adjusted gross household income2016, 2017 and 2018Penalties topped out in 2016, when the penalty was the higher of either:1) $695 per adult, $347.50 per child, with a maximum of $2,085 for familiesor2) 2.5% of modified adjusted gross household income The tax penalty was maintained at these rates through 2017 and 2018.2019In December of 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 passed.

"text": "Health Insurance Exemptions and New Form 8965September 17, 2014Under the Affordable Care Act, there are a number of situations where an individual may receive an exemption from the requirement to have health insurance for all or part of the year. If an individual qualifies for a pre-defined exemption or believes they qualify for a hardship exemption they will need to complete Form 8965 (Health Coverage Exemptions) and attach it to their 2014 federal income tax return. Doing so will allow the individual to avoid having a penalty assessed against them for not having health insurance. Where an exemption can be requested is important. Some exemptions must be obtained through the Marketplace (an individual must have applied and received their exemption certificate number before they file their return). Certain exemptions can only be requested at the time the federal return is filed, while others can be requested through the Marketplace or when filing their federal return. Exemptions that can only be obtained from the Marketplace are as follows: Member of a religious sect that is recognized by the Social Security Administration as conscientiously opposed to accepting insurance benefits Individual did not have access to affordable coverage based on their projected household income Individual is ineligible for Medicaid solely because the state they reside in did not expand the eligibility requirements for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act Individual has been notified that their health insurance policy is not being renewed and the individual considers other available plans as being unaffordable Individual is experiencing circumstances that prevent them from obtaining coverage under a qualified health plan Exemptions that can be requested through the Marketplace or on Form 8965 when filing a 2014 federal return: Individual is a member of a recognized health sharing ministry Members of a federally recognized Native American tribe Individual is incarcerated Coverage is unaffordable Individual purchased health insurance through the Marketplace during the initial enrollment period but has a coverage gap at the beginning of 2014Individual is a Native American, Alaska native, or a spouse or descendant who is eligible for services through a Native American health care provider Examples of some of the exemptions that may only be requested by filing Form 8965 with their 2014 federal return: Health insurance coverage is considered unaffordable Individual has a short coverage gap Household income is below the filing threshold Individual is not lawfully present in the U. S. Form 8965 (Health Coverage Exemptions) If a taxpayer is eligible for an exemption from having health insurance for 2014, they must complete Form 8965 (Health Coverage Exemptions) to avoid owing a penalty (shared responsibility payment) for 2014. The form is divided into the following sections: Part I – Exemptions that must be obtained from the Marketplace (Federal or State Exchange)An individual must apply for the exemption before they file their return. When they file the Form 8965 they must enter the exemption certificate number that the Marketplace will issue them. Part II – Coverage Exemptions for Your Household Claimed on Your Return This section is used mainly for hardship exemptions that the taxpayer would not know they are eligible for until the end of 2014."

The Qot D is archived on PNHP's website. Health Policy Brief: Employers and Health Care Reform Health Affairs/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation March 9, 2011To expand access and strengthen the employment-based health system, the Affordable Care Act of 2010 will require midsize and large companies to make payments to the federal government if they do not offer health insurance to their employees and dependents starting in 2014. What’s in the law? Under the Affordable Care Act, beginning in 2014 employers with at least 50 full-time employees (or equivalent full- and part-time workers) will have to provide “qualified” health insurance coverage to their full-time employees and their dependents. Qualified coverage means that plans are comprehensive (pay at least 60 percent of health care expenses) and affordable (cost less than 9.5 percent of employees’ household incomes). If employers don’t offer qualified coverage, and if their employees purchase coverage instead through a new state insurance exchange with the assistance of federal subsidies, companies will have to make an “assessable payment” of up to $2,000 for every full-time employee beyond the first 30 employees. The amount of the assessment will be adjusted annually to reflect the growth in national insurance premium costs. If employers do offer coverage, but the coverage does not meet certain parameters, they may still have to pay assessments. First, employers will be assessed if a plan is judged not to be comprehensive."

"text": "\"Benefits What's ‘Affordable’ Coverage Under Health Care Reform? Penalties tied to affordability and minimum value By Stephen Miller, CEBSFeb 12, 2014Update: While the controversy over the inflation-adjusted percentage used to determine “affordable” health coverage had divided benefits attorneys and confused businesses, clarity came on Dec. 16, 2015, by way of IRS Notice 2015-87. See the SHRM Online article IRS Pinpoints Affordability Percentage for Safe Harbor.---------------------------------------Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (referred to as PPACA or ACA, or just the Affordable Care Act), employer-provided coverage is considered \"\" affordable \"\" if it meets one of the three IRS safe harbors for determining that the employee's contribution for self-only coverage doesn't exceed 9.5 percent of the employee's household income. Is the Affordability Threshhold 9.5% or 9.56%? Nothing is easy when it comes to applying the massively complex Affordable Care Act. For instance, on July 24, 2014, the IRS released Revenue Procedure 2014-37 to index the ACA’s affordability threshhold percentage, so that an applicable large employer’s health coverage would be considered affordable under the pay or play rules if the employee’s required contribution to the plan did not exceed 9.56 percent of the employee’s household income for the year. But as of February 2015, the IRS had not issued guidance applying the increased threshhold to the the three safe harbors under section 4980H of the Internal Revenue Code (described below), although it still may do some at some point. As benefit attorneys at law firm Bryan Cave explained, the affordability percentage:applies to actual household income, which is something an employer is very unlikely to know. Recognizing this, the IRS has provided some safe harbors based on information more readily available to an employer. ... Here’s the subtle point: that 9.5 percent for the safe harbors is not adjusted."

"text": "Brain & Nervous System Stroke For Caregivers Side Effects of Coumadin, Plavix and Other Blood Thinners By Jose Vega MD, Ph DUpdated February 23, 2018Share Pin Email Print Blood thinners are often used in the prevention of strokes. If you have already had a stroke or a TIA, there is a chance that you need to take a blood thinner. Strokes and TIAs are among the strongest risk factors for having another stroke. In fact, about 30% of all strokes are repeat strokes, making stroke prevention particularly important for stroke and TIA survivors. Here is a list of the blood thinners most commonly used for stroke prevention, as well as some of their side effects. Aggrenox: Aggrenox is a combination of aspirin and extended-release dipyridamole. Headaches are the most common side effect reported with Aggrenex. Other common side effects include abdominal pain, indigestion and diarrhea. What to watch out for: You should stop taking Aggrenox and go to your doctor or to an emergency room if you notice black or tarry-appearing stools, as this is a sign of intestinal bleeding, which may rapidly progress to a medical emergency. Aspirin: Aspirin is a blood thinner that can prevent stroke if you have certain risk factors."

"text": "Blood or Organ Donation: Being on Blood Thinners or Having a Thrombophilia“I am on warfarin (Coumadin ® ). Can I donate blood?” No. A person on a blood thinner (anticoagulant), like warfarin, will not be accepted as a blood donor because of the risk of bleeding to him/her when the vein in the arm is entered with a big needle or venous catheter during the donation process. Being on aspirin or any other anti-platelet drug (Plavix ®, Aggrenox ® ), however, is not a problem and patients on these drugs can donate blood. Blood Clotting Disorder“Can people with factor V Leiden or another blood clotting disorder (thrombophilia) donate blood?” Yes, individuals with factor V Leiden or any other thrombophilia can donate blood, platelets, or blood plasma. There are no problems. However, if a person with factor V Leiden or another thrombophilia is on warfarin, he/she will not be accepted as a blood donor as discussed above. Red Cross Guidelines for Donating Blood The Red Cross eligibility guidelines can be found in detail here ."

"text": "Lumbar & Cervical Radiofrequency Ablation/Lesioning What is Radiofrequency? Radiofrequency waves are electromagnetic waves which travel at the speed of light, or 186,000 miles per second (300,000 km/s). Radiofrequency Energy is a type of heat energy that is created by a special generator at very high or super high frequencies. With the use of this specialized generator, heat energy is created and delivered with precision to target nerves that carry pain impulses. The resulting “lesion”involves a spherical area of tissue destruction at the tip of the RF needle that can include pain-carrying nerves. Why is this procedure done? Radiofrequency ablation/lesioning is a procedure used to provide longer term pain relief than that provided by simple injections or nerve blocks. Many patients who are being considered for this procedure have already undergone simple injection techniques like Epidural Steroid Injection, Facet Joint Injection, Sympathetic Nerve Blocks, or other nerve blocks with pain relief that is less prolonged than desired. By selectively destroying nerves that carry pain impulses, the painful structure can be effectively denervated and the pain reduced or eliminated for anywhere from a few months to up to 12 months. How is this procedure done?"

By definition, a concussion is not a life-threatening injury, but it can cause both short-term and long-term problems. A concussion results from a closed-head type of injury and does not include injuries in which there is bleeding under the skull or into the brain. Another type of brain injury must be present if bleeding is visible on a CT scan ( CAT scan) of the brain. A mild concussion may involve no loss of consciousness (feeling \"\"dazed\"\") or a very brief loss of consciousness (being \"\"knocked out\"\"). A severe concussion may involve prolonged loss of consciousness with a delayed return to normal. Concussion Causes A concussion can be caused by any significant blunt force trauma to the head such as:a fall,a car accident,sports injury, orbeing struck on the head with an object. Concussion Symptoms and Signs Readers Comments 25 Share Your Story Common signs and symptoms of concussion are: Loss of consciousness after any trauma to the head Confusion Headache Nausea or vomiting Blurred vision Loss of short-term memory (you may not remember the actual injury and the events some time before or after the impact)Perseverating (repeating the same thing over and over, despite being told the answer each time, for example, \"\"Was I in an accident? \"\") Concussions & Brain Injuries Pictures Brain Foods Slideshow Pictures Concussions & Brain Damage Quiz When to Seek Medical Care for Concussion Call the doctor about any of the following situations.

In This Article Abstract and Introduction Current Antiplatelet Medications Discussion Conclusion References Current Antiplatelet Medications Aspirin (ASA)ASA is widely used in the management of acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). Other effects of ASA include anti-inflammation and antioxidation. It is typically used alone or in conjunction with thienopyridines to treat ACSs or prevent stent thrombosis. It is an indirect thombaxane inhibitor [ 2] and irreversibly inhibits the platelet cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 enzyme. [ 3] ASA, given at low doses, inhibits platelet generation of thromboxane A2 and leads to antithrombotic effect. At medium doses, it inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 by blocking the prostaglandin production and has analgesic and antipyretic effects. ASA at high doses is effective as an anti-inflammatory drug in treating rheumatic disorders. However, ASA is a weak inhibitor of platelet aggregation compared to other antiplatelet drugs and typically is used in combination with other antiplatelet drugs."

AGGRENOX should be avoided in patients who are allergic to any ingredient in AGGRENOX, or allergic to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or who have the combination of asthma, runny nose, and nasal polyps. AGGRENOX should not be given to a child or teenager. AGGRENOX increases the risk of bleeding, including bleeding into the brain, stomach or intestines. Any bleeding you have may take longer to stop when you are taking AGGRENOX. AGGRENOX should be avoided by patients with a history of stomach ulcers or those who drink three or more alcoholic drinks a day, as these can increase the risk of bleeding. Patients should tell their doctor about all medicines they are taking, especially blood thinners, heparin, warfarin, NSAIDs, heart medicines, or medicines for high blood pressure, including diuretics (“water pills”). AGGRENOX should be avoided during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester. AGGRENOX should be avoided in patients with severe liver or kidney problems.

"text": "Epidural Steroid Injection What is an Epidural Steroid Injection? An Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI) is a simple, safe, and effective non-surgical treatment that involves the injection of a steroid medication similar to cortisone into the Epidural Space of the spine. The epidural space is the portion of the spine where inflamed nerves are located. The intent of this procedure is to reduce inflammation and therefore relieve pain. Performed by an interventional pain management, ESI is a minimally invasive technique used to relieve a variety of painful conditions, including chronic pain anywhere in the spine. How is this injection done? Although there are different techniques used for Epidural Steroid Injection, the most common technique employed by interventional pain management specialists now is with X-Ray guidance (fluoroscopy), usually with the patient lying on his or her stomach. Dr. Zeballos uses fluoroscopy for all of his ESI procedures. The injection is performed under local anesthesia and, on occasion, with intravenous sedation. Patients are not deeply sedated or completely asleep for this procedure because it is unnecessary and unsafe to do so."

Literature review current through: Feb 2018. | This topic last updated: May 10, 2017. TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK OVERVIEWTransient ischemic attack (TIA) is the medical term for neurologic symptoms, such as weakness or numbness, which begin suddenly, resolve rapidly and completely, and are caused by a temporary lack of blood in an area of the brain. TIAs are common, affecting at least 240,000 people each year in the United States. Some people call TIAs \"\"warning spells\"\" because anyone who has a TIA is at risk for a stroke."

"text": "Medications That Can Cause Tinnitus As surprising as it may sound, there are over 200 prescriptions and over the counter medications that can cause tinnitus or make your existing symptoms worse. Generally speaking, the higher the dosage of these medications, the worse your tinnitus will become. Depending on the medication dosage, your tinnitus might go away after removing it from your system. Medications That Cause Tinnitus Antibiotics. Certain antibiotics, such as Polymyxin B, Erythromycin, Vancomycin and Neomycinare known to cause tinnitus. Chemotherapy Medications. Cancer fighting medications such as Carboplatin, Cisplatin, Mechlorethamine and Vincristine have all been proven to cause tinnitus. Diuretics. Water pills (diuretics), such as Bumetanide, Ethacrynic Acid, Furosemide and Lasix can cause tinnitus. Quinine & Chloroquine."

"text": "Thrombotic Stroke Health Guide More What Is It? In a thrombotic stroke, a blood clot (thrombus) forms inside one of the brain's arteries. The clot blocks blood flow to a part of the brain. This causes brain cells in that area to stop functioning and die quickly. The blood clot that triggers a thrombotic stroke usually forms inside an artery that already has been narrowed by atherosclerosis. This is a condition in which fatty deposits (plaques) build up inside blood vessels. Thrombotic strokes can affect large or small arteries in the brain. Strokes that affect large arteries block flow to greater portions of the brain. These strokes tend to cause the most disability When a thrombotic stroke occurs in a small artery, the artery is usually one that is deep within the brain. This stroke is more specifically named a lacunar stroke."

A contract is a legally enforceable agreement between two parties. Each party to a contract promises to perform a certain duty or pay a specified amount. A breach of contract means one party to the contract fails to fulfill her contractual obligations. A breach can occur if a party fails to perform within the time frame specified in the contract, does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement, or fails to perform whatsoever. If one party fails to perform while the other party fulfills her duties under the contract, the performing party is entitled to legal remedies for breach of contract. Types of Breaches There are four different types of breaches of contract: Actual Breach v. Anticipatory Breach Most breaches of contracts is one of two types: actual or anticipatory. Actual breaches occur when a party fails to fulfill her obligations on the date performance is due, or when a party performs her obligations and the other party refuses to perform."

"text": "\"Difference Between Appeal and Revision Posted on February 8, 2015 by admin Appeal vs Revision Identifying the difference between Appeal and Revision is somewhat of a complex task for many of us. Indeed, they are terms that are not frequently heard in ordinary parlance. Legally, however, they represent two very important types of applications available to a party aggrieved by a previous court order. They also constitute the most important and primary types of jurisdiction vested in appellate courts. Perhaps the term Appeal sounds less unfamiliar than Revision. What is Revision? Is it the same as Appeal? A careful understanding of the definitions of both terms will help to answer these questions. What is an Appeal? An Appeal is traditionally defined in law as the resort by an unsuccessful party in a lawsuit to a superior court vested with the jurisdiction to review a final decision of a lower court."

"title": "http://www.inbrief.co.uk/contract-law/contract-containing-false-statements/\nWhat happens if I enter a contract when false statements have been made?",
"text": "When you enter into a contract with another individual or an organisation, each party must be truthful in their negotiations, and any statements made before a contract is entered into. Where false statements or misrepresentations are made and a contract follows, the aggrieved party may be able to break the contract, because it goes to the very heart of what is required before and during the formation of a contact. There are different degrees of false statements and misrepresentations, each with different outcomes in law. For a misrepresentation to be actionable in law, there must have been a false statement of fact which has been made by one party to the other which induced that party to enter into the contract. Will the contract automatically become void if there has been a misrepresentation? Where there has been a misrepresentation, the contract will be ‘voidable’ meaning that it will remain valid until voided by the party who relied on the misrepresentation in entering into the contract. This means that if the innocent party decides to void the contract they will be entitled to rescind (end) the contract and/or claim damages. Fraudulent misrepresentation Fraudulent misrepresentation takes place where a false statement as to fact or law is made either knowingly, or without the maker of that statement believing it to be true (or being reckless as to its truth). What is a false statement of fact? A false statement of fact must relate to an existing fact or a past event."

C OMMENTThis article defines “non-performance” for the purpose of the Principles. Particular attention should be drawn to two features of thedefinition. The first is that “non-performance” is defined so as to include allforms of defective performance as well as complete failure to perform. So it is non-performance for a builder to erect a building which ispartly in accordance with the contract and partly defective or tocomplete the building late. The second feature is that for the purposes of the Principles theconcept of “non-performance” includes both non-excused and excusednon-performance. Non-performance may be excused by reason of the conduct of theother party to the contract (see Arts. 7.1.2 (Interference by the otherparty) and 7.1.3 (Withholding performance) and comments) or becauseof unexpected external events (Art. 7.1.7 (Force majeure) andcomment).

"text": "\"Nolle Prosequi Law and Legal Definition Nolle prosequi is a Latin term meaning \"\"we shall no longer prosecute\"\". It is a declaration made by a prosecutor in a criminal case or by a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit either before or during trial, meaning the case against the defendant is being dropped. The declaration may be made because the charges cannot be proved, the evidence has demonstrated either innocence or a fatal flaw in the prosecution's claim, or the prosecutor no longer thinks the accused is guilty. It is generally made after indictment, but is not a guarantee that the person won't be reindicted. In civil cases, a nolle prosequi may be entered as to one of several counts or to one of several defendants. In a criminal case, it has been held improper for a court to enter an order of nolle prosequi on it's own without a motion by the prosecutor. As long a jury trial has not been commenced, the entry of a nolle prosequi is not a adjudication on the merits of the prosecution and the legal protection against double jeopardy will not automatically bar the charges from being brought again in some fashion. Nolle prosequi is similar to a declination of prosecution, which is an agreement not to prosecute which may be made by an attorney, but also by aggrieved party. In contrast, nolle prosequi is usually made after a decision to prosecute has already been made. A declination of prosecution may be made for many reasons, such a weak evidence or conflict of interest."

Contract Law Remedies | Free Contract Law Essay The Remedies for unexcused non-performance of the contract under French and English Law. Comparative study considering the influence of the Principles of European Contract law Introduction The importance of contract law and its central place amongst the other disciplines in Private law has never been underestimated by both, scholars and practitioners. ‘ A complex legal discipline in both its jurisprudential foundation and its practical function,' it is often referred to as the cornerstone of the Private Law in every legal system and the most ‘rewarding' legal field. Consequently a definition of what a contract is seems necessary. If one turns to the French Civil Code, one will find the following definition in Art. 1101: ‘The contract is a convention whereby one or several persons bind themselves towards one or several persons to give, to do or not to do something.' On the other hand, according to some authors, English Law does not offer a precise definition of a contract. For example, J. Beatson and W. R. Anson define the Law of Contract as ‘the branch of the law which determinates that a promise should be legally binding on the person making the promise.'"

This is the judgement of the Supreme Court of India. The Vishakha Guidelines were a set of procedural guidelines for use in India in cases of sexual harassment.

This enraged a women's rights group called Vishaka that filed a public interest litigation in the Supreme Court of India.

Fundamental breach of contract by the seller also entitles the buyer to claim delivery of substitute goods (art. 46 (2)), and to enact remedies in spite of the risk having passed to him (art. 70). However, a mere non-fundamental breach will be sufficient to entitle the aggrieved party to claim damages (art. 74) and to claim a price reduction (art. 50). This suggests that the drafters of the CISG had in mind a basic distinction between fundamental breach and non-fundamental breach. ["

"text": "\"Definition of domestic violence Legislation should include a definition of domestic violence that includes physical and sexual violence and coercive control. Drafters should consider limiting the intervention of the criminal justice system and courts that issue protection orders to cases involving physical and sexual violence, the threat of such violence and coercive control, as described below. Although some countries incorporate concepts such as psychological (sometimes referred to as mental or emotional) or economic violence in their definitions of domestic violence, including these terms in the law can have unintended consequences that undermine the protection of victims of domestic violence. Because of the difficulty in defining psychological and economic violence, including these terms in the definition of domestic violence creates a risk that violent abusers will manipulate the purpose of the law by claiming that they have been psychologically or economically abused by their victims. For example, an angry or disgruntled violent abuser may seek a protection order against his wife because she used his property. Or, an abuser may claim that physical violence is an appropriate response to his wife’s insults. Even when abusers do not turn claims of psychological and economic violence against their victims, these types of abuse may be very difficult to prove in legal proceedings. It is recommended that drafters replace the terms psychological and economic violence with the term coercive control. “ Coercive control” includes psychological and economic violence but does so in a way that links the concepts to a pattern of domination through intimidation, isolation, degradation, and deprivation as well as physical assault. The abuser’s tactics may include controlling how the victim dresses, cleans, cooks, or performs sexually."

S. C. § 151–169 (also known as the NLRA and the Wagner Act after NY Senator Robert F. Wagner [1]) and other legislation. Such acts are investigated by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

In broad terms, the NLRB makes it unlawful for an employer to:interfere with two or more employees acting in concert to protect rights provided for in the Act, whether or not a union existsto dominate or interfere with the formation or administration of a labor organizationto discriminate against an employee from engaging in concerted or union activities or refraining from themto discriminate against an employee for filing charges with the NLRB or taking part in any NLRB proceedingsto refuse to bargain with the union that is the lawful representative of its employees The Act similarly bars unions from:restraining or coercing employees in the exercise of their rights or an employer in the choice of its bargaining representativecausing an employer to discriminate against an employeerefusing to bargain with the employer of the employees it representsengaging in certain types of secondary boycottsrequiring excessive duesengaging in featherbedding (requiring an employer to pay for unneeded workers)picketing for recognition for more than thirty days without petitioning for an electionentering into \"\" hot cargo \"\" agreements (refusing to handle goods from an anti-union employer)striking or picketing a health care establishment without giving the required notice Applying this general language to the real world requires, in the words of Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, \"\"distinctions more nice than obvious\"\". The substantive law applied by the NLRB is described elsewhere under specific headings devoted to particular topics. Not every unfair act amounts to an unfair labor practice; as an example, failing to pay an individual worker overtime pay for hours worked in excess of forty hours in a week might be a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, but it is unlikely to amount to an unfair labor practice as well."

[ 2] Business agility can be maintained by maintaining and adapting goods and services to meet customer demands, adjusting to the changes in a business environment and taking advantage of human resources. [ 3]In a business context, agility is the ability of an organization to rapidly adapt to market and environmental changes in productive and cost-effective ways. The agile enterprise is an extension of this concept, referring to an organization that uses key principles of complex adaptive systems and complexity science to achieve success. [ 4] One can say that business agility is the outcome of organizational intelligence."

"text": "\"The Three Forms of Waste – Muda, Mura, and Muri May 19, 2015 by The Clever PMWith Agile development and Lean practices so popular nowadays, sometimes the history behind these practices and philosophies is overlooked or skipped over entirely. Unfortunately, when people miss the underpinnings upon which these concepts are based, they also tend to distort and remake those principles into something that only barely resembles the original concepts behind them. Most of what we consider to be modern “Agile” and “Lean” approaches to product design, development, and implementation all stem from a variety of manufacturing principles that coalesced into the Toyota Production System in the late 1940s. This process was a vast departure from the Western approach to production lines — the interchangeable parts an always-moving production line, in which people were just another cog in the wheel. Rather, the TPS system focused on several principles designed to implement systemic processes to allow people to provide feedback into the work being done and how it might be improved. The development of these principles, and their application in the “Toyota” way slowly built between the 40s into the 70s, where it became more broadly adopted under the guise of “just-in-time manufacturing. ”Many books have been written on the TPS process (with all apologies to Office Space fans), and I would encourage people interested in the history to do some research — but for this article I wanted to focus on what the TPS system views as “waste” and how each is specifically defined, because when we talk about Agile and Lean trying to eliminate “waste”, we probably really mean one of these three things: Muda = “Waste” or failures of people or processes to efficiently deliver product. Mura = “Unevenness”, or failures related to unpredictable or inconsistent outputs. Muri = “Overburden”, or failures of standardization to create efficient process. Muda — Wastefutility; uselessness; idleness; superfluity; waste; wastefulness Muda is the term adopted by the TPS system that generally refers to waste introduced by people or processes that result in inefficient delivery of product — where efficiency is measured by the consumption of resources."

"text": "\"What Lessons Can the Agile Community Learn from A Maverick Fighter Pilot? Steve Adolph University of British Columbia Vancouver, B. C. Canada [email protected] Abstract For the agile software development community, agility is defined by the values expressed in the agile manifesto. But in concrete terms, what does it mean for a software project to be agile? US Air Force Colonel John Boyd defined agility as the ability to operate the Observation-Orientation-Decision-Action (OODA) loop faster than an adversary. Agility therefore depends on the tempo at which we can exploit the OODA loop, and it is culture, not methodologies or tools that determine our OODA loop speed. This definition of agility has implications for the software development community. This short paper introduces Colonel Boyd, the OODA loop, the factors which influence OODA loop speed and the possible research opportunities into software engineering culture we are considering. based methodologies is it by definition not agile? Many RUP and UP experts claim their process is agile [5, 6, 7] and many practitioners (including this author) will enthusiastically claim that even though they were not following an agile methodology, their projects were agile. So what does it really mean for a software development organization to be agile?"

"text": "Mezzanine Loan Options, Financing Rates & Structures Modern business requires sophisticated, flexible and agile financing. Many traditional banks have become so overwhelmed with non-performing mortgages that they cannot meet the needs of small and mid-sized firms. Traditional banking sector problems have lead to the need for alternative financing plans, such as mezzanine finance. Businesses now have a more flexible way to raise capital: a mezzanine loan. What is Mezzanine Financing? Investopia has the following definition for mezzanine funding: “A hybrid of debt and equity financing that is typically used to finance the expansion of existing companies.” Mezzanine loans are basically debt capital that give the lender the rights to convert to an ownership or equity interest in the company if the loan is not paid back in time and in full…”Mezzanine loans are beneficial because they are treated as equity on a business’ balance sheet and could result in a better chance of getting approved for a conventional bank loan. To attract mezzanine capital, a business usually must demonstrate an impressive track record with an established reputation and product/service, a history of profitability and a viable expansion plan. Who Are Mezzanine Finance Providers/Investors? In many cases, mezzanine financiers are wealthy individuals who have chosen to invest in high-growth businesses."

"text": "The Mythical Product Owner By Andre Kaminski September 17, 2009Background Barbara Nelson said in The Politics of Agile, “When product managers weren’t looking, the developers went agile.” Indeed, many Product Managers were taken by surprise at the speed of Agile’s adoption. And with the introduction of a new Product Owner role and its perceived overlap with the traditional Product Manager function, Product Managers have expressed some anxiety about the future of their role. Agile was borne from frustrated development teams who were constantly blamed for non-delivery and missed business goals. Nothing in life is black and white, and objectively speaking, problems could be found on both sides. Nevertheless, Agile was a response from tactical teams that wanted to control the rules of the game and redefine the criteria for success. Since the Agile process was created by tactical teams, it concentrates on development practices. At times, Agile may seem inattentive to the environment in which projects are delivered, and to hold idealistic views of reality. However, Agile has many merits, and for organizations to be fully successful, the changes of Agile need to happen not only on the tactical level of delivery, but across the whole organization. It is not enough to have a fully functional and efficient development team that delivers, if it does not translate into success of the company."

I was told, \"\"We write the Definition of Done on the back of each user story.\"\" That was my inspiration to write an article on this basic element. A well-written user story can be defined this way: As a Persona I want to get XXX while the system does YYY So that I can do ZZZ. The acceptance of this criteria means that AAA is enabled when an incident BBB is submitted. Given the above, the final line is the user story acceptance criteria. So the answer I got for my question was actually not the Definition of Done but the user story acceptance criteria. It is true that user story acceptance criteria will be separate for each story, while the Definition of Done will be common for all the items in the backlog.

"text": "\"The Strategic Role of Product Management when Development goes Agile By Pragmatic Marketing, Luke Hohmann, Rich Mironov November 10, 2009While software development teams have been moving toward agile methods for years, many product managers are only now becoming aware of it. An agile approach applies collaborative and continuous improvement concepts to software development. It emphasizes close collaboration between development teams and customers; frequent delivery of deployable code (in sprints); face-to-face communication with customers; tight, self-organizing teams; managing backlogs of user stories to reduce requirements churn; and identification of self-improvement opportunities. There is no single, definitive “agile method.” Agile teams tune practices and processes for themselves to create a method that is unique to their environment. Broadly, agile methods function as both an organizational philosophy and a set of development methodologies. When you adopt agile development methods, you encounter new concepts, new artifacts, new planning methods, and new roles and relationships. It seems that agile teams do everything in a new way. And, as you attempt to integrate agile into your existing systems, you’ll also attempt to map these new concepts to your old, familiar concepts. Requirements are now stories; iterations are now sprints."

Agile values individuals, interactions and customer collaboration that is responsive to change to produce working software. Agile processes promote sustainable development by teams of motivated individuals providing incremental delivery of technically excellent working software in short iterations. Business people and developers work together daily, embracing change for the customer’s competitive advantage. Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile framework for developing and sustaining complex products. The Scrum Guide contains the definition of Scrum. This definition consists of Scrum’s roles, events, artifacts and the rules that bind them. Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, employing frequent inspection and adaptation to optimize predictability and control risk. The heart of Scrum is a sprint, a time-box of one month or less during which a “done,” useable and potentially releasable product increment is created. A sprint review with customers is held at the end of each sprint to inspect the increment and adapt the product backlog if needed."

[ 3] [4] It defines \"\"a flexible, holistic product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal\"\", [5] challenges assumptions of the \"\"traditional, sequential approach\"\" [5] to product development, and enables teams to self-organize by encouraging physical co-location or close online collaboration of all team members, as well as daily face-to-face communication among all team members and disciplines involved. A key principle of Scrum is the dual recognition that customers will change their minds about what they want or need (often called requirements volatility [6]) and that there will be unpredictable challenges—for which a predictive or planned approach is not suited. As such, Scrum adopts an evidence-based empirical approach —accepting that the problem cannot be fully understood or defined up front, and instead focusing on how to maximize the team's ability to deliver quickly, to respond to emerging requirements, and to adapt to evolving technologies and changes in market conditions. Many of the terms used in Scrum (e.g., scrum master) are typically written with leading capitals (i.e., Scrum Master) or as conjoint words written in camel case (i.e., Scrum Master). To maintain an encyclopedic tone, however, this article uses normal sentence case for these terms—unless they are recognized marks (such as Certified Scrum Master ). This is occasionally seen written in all-capitals, as SCRUM. ["

Every discipline has its own vocabulary, and project management is no exception.

That way, when one person talks about risks, scope, issues, requirements, and other project management concerns, everyone else knows what he or she is referring to. This glossary contains common terms used in project management and can help start the standardization process in your organization. Assumption There may be external circumstances or events that must occur for the project to be successful (or that should happen to increase your chances of success). If you believe that the probability of the event occurring is acceptable, you could list it as an assumption. An assumption has a probability between 0 and 100%; that is, it is not impossible that the event will occur (0%), and it is not a fact (100%) — it is somewhere in between. Assumptions are important because they set the context in which the entire remainder of the project is defined.

Essentially a mindset is a culture that you implement with the incentive to accept or adopt the cultural norms.

"text": "Careers Project Management Agile Project Management For Dummies Cheat Sheet Cheat Sheet Agile Project Management For Dummies Cheat Sheet From Agile Project Management For Dummies, 2nd Edition By Mark C. Layton Agile project management focuses on continuous improvement, scope flexibility, team input, and delivering essential quality products. Agile project management approaches include scrum as a framework, extreme programming (XP) for building in quality upfront, and lean thinking to eliminate waste. These and many other tools and techniques help organizations, teams, and individuals adhere to the Agile Manifesto and the 12 Agile Principles, which focus on people, communications, the product, and flexibility. A Manifesto for Agile Software Developers The Manifesto for Agile Software Development, commonly known as the Agile Manifesto, is an intentionally streamlined expression of the core values of agile project management. Use this manifesto as a guide to implement agile methodologies in your projects. “We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work, we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.” ©Agile Manifesto Copyright 2001: Kent Beck, Mike Beedle, Arie van Bennekum, Alistair Cockburn, Ward Cunningham, Martin Fowler, James Grenning, Jim Highsmith, Andrew Hunt, Ron Jeffries, Jon Kern, Brian Marick, Robert C. Martin, Steve Mellor, Ken Schwaber, Jeff Sutherland, Dave Thomas. This declaration may be freely copied in any form, but only in its entirety through this notice. The 12 Agile Principles The Principles behind the Agile Manifesto, commonly referred to as the 12 Agile Principles, are a set of guiding concepts that support project teams in implementing agile projects."

( The Scrum Team) Anything!In PMP words, it is any kind of issue. And it may include risks as well, but typically only high probability risks that are likely to occur fairly soon. ( I typically also recommend a simple risk log for each Scrum team — but that is an add-on to Scrum, not part of the bare framework of Scrum. ) Anything can be an impediment. Even things beyond our control. A hurricane in NYC. A tsunami. A people issue."

This system is run as a joint undertaking between Department of Transport and the Police with a primary focus on fraud detection and prevention. Agile personnel provide day-to-day support of the system and consult on future uses of the system both locally and nationally. Heritage Council (SHObiz)State Heritage Office (SHO) engaged Agile Computing to replace their aging business system with a modern supportable application. In addition to supporting the day-to-day work of SHO staff, the system incorporates techniques to integrate documents, images and other important artefacts. It engages with external systems for live postal address verification, Landgate land data and geospatial mapping information. Also, SHObiz incorporates web functionality that allows external parties to maintain data directly in the core business systems and to provide public searches of live heritage information. Integrated Courts Management System (ICMS)A large-scale line-of-business application for the Western Australian courts, ICMS has been implemented for matters across four Jurisdictions: District Court, Supreme Court, Magistrates Court and SAT (State Administrative Tribunals). Agile Computing staff have been involved with this project since its inception in 2001, including providing key staff for Development team leading, software architecture and design and consulting on the feasibility for redeploying the application in jurisdictions outside of WA."

"text": "0votes What is the cost for the PMI-ACP (PMI-Agile Certified Practitioner) application? Also, I have three other questions in that same area: - Is the PMI-ACP actually worth it? ( considering that Agile is still a very new methodology and PMI is not very experienced with it) - Are PMI members eligible for a discount on this test? - Are the eligibility requirements on the PMP holders more lax than on candidates that have no PMP certification?asked 6 years ago by anonymousagile-certification acp1 Answer0votes The fees for the PMI-ACP credential differ if you're a PMI member or not, and if you want to go with CBT or the PBT exam (CBT is the Computer Based Test, and it usually costs more than the PBT, the Paper Based Test). If you're a PMI Member then you pay $435 for the CBT and $385 for the PBT, if you're not a PMI member then you pay $495 for the CBT and $445 for the PBT (these are 2012 rates and are valid on the date this answer was posted). So yes, as a PMI member, you're eligible for a discount (but not a huge discount though). The eligibility requirements for the PMI-ACP are indeed more lax than those of the PMP, as you don't need a university degree (just a high school degree is enough) and you only have to have 2,000 hours of project management experience + 1,500 hours of Agile experience. You are also required to have 21 contact hours (see: http://www.projectmanagementquestions.com/5210/how-to-get-contact-hours-for-the-pmi-acp ). The PMP eligibility requirements for candidates with only a high school diploma are 7,500 hours + 35 contact hours. That's a bit more than double the requirements for the PMI-ACP.answered 6 years ago by Maple PM ( 46,940 points)Related questions0votes1answer How to get contact hours for the PMI ACP?asked 6 years ago by anonymousacp agile-certification0votes1answer Agile certification costasked 6 years ago by anonymousagile agile-certification project-management-certifications+1vote1answer Is there any certification for Agile?asked 6 years ago by anonymousagile agile-project-management agile-certification project-management-accreditations+1vote1answer PMI Agile certification requirementsasked 6 years ago by anonymousagile-project-management agile agile-certification0votes1answer What is the cost of a masters degree in project management in canada?asked 6 years ago by anonymousmasters-in-project-management"

It depends on the complexity and what you expect from UML. Here's a totally non-scientific method, but I'll use it anyway: a search today for \"\"Software Engineer\"\" positions on a popular recruiting web site revealed more than 1000 in Silicon Valley. However, if you filter that search with the words \"\"UML\"\" in the offer, the market reduces to just 20 jobs! From the descriptions, they tend to be more senior positions.

Companies seeking to out-perform in this environment require operational dexterity, and business agility is critical to being responsive to increasingly changing market conditions. The pragmatic and operational definition of business performance and business agility, that is, how to achieve and to sustain them within the context of a supporting IT environment, varies considerably. Although there is a growing congruence in the industry around the definition of business agility, often with an underlying agenda of selling software or services, an agreed upon or recognized definition of business agility remains evasive. Stakeholders pull a variety of levers to achieve business agility. Figure 1 illustrates sample levers often leveraged to improve business agility. Figure 1. Business agility levers View image at full size Focusing on a single lever or even a collection of levers may not bring about the desired business outcome. For example, a focus on improving an accounts open process may result in increasing short-term revenue and accounts. However, what if the business outcome, the strategic CEO imperative, was to become a leader in the market measured by being number one in revenue and profit in retail banking?"

Traditional Quality Management I’m grateful to Anthony Marcano ( Testing Reflections) and Anna Charemza for reminding me that Quality Management is not the same as testing. Project Quality Management is one of the nine project management knowledge areas in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) from the Project Management Institute (2004). But Quality Management is a much wider initiative originating in Japanese manufacturing. Quality Policy, Management, Systems, Assurance, Control, etc, etc There are a lot of t erms which include the word quality so I thought I’d start with some definitions from ASQ: Glossary to set the scene: Quality policy: An organization’s general statement of its beliefs about quality, how quality will come about and its expected result. Quality management (QM): The application of a quality management system in managing a process to achieve maximum customer satisfaction at the lowest overall cost to the organization while continuing to improve the process. Quality management system (QMS): A formalized system that documents the structure, responsibilities and procedures required to achieve effective quality management.

Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the software product or service under test. [ 1] Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation. Test techniques include the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects), and verifying that the software product is fit for use. Software testing involves the execution of a software component or system component to evaluate one or more properties of interest. In general, these properties indicate the extent to which the component or system under testmeets the requirements that guided its design and development,responds correctly to all kinds of inputs,performs its functions within an acceptable time,is sufficiently usable,can be installed and run in its intended environments, andachieves the general result its stakeholders desire. As the number of possible tests for even simple software components is practically infinite, all software testing uses some strategy to select tests that are feasible for the available time and resources. As a result, software testing typically (but not exclusively) attempts to execute a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects). The job of testing is an iterative process as when one bug is fixed, it can illuminate other, deeper bugs, or can even create new ones. Software testing can provide objective, independent information about the quality of software and risk of its failure to users or sponsors. ["

Furthermore, the incorporation of the software security analysis into the development process, and the results and costs of the security analysis is discussed. From the initial 42 workdays used for finding all vulnerabilities, approximately 16 days were needed for finding and correcting 91,5 % of the vulnerabilities. So, proportionally small investments improve the program code security by integrating an automatic auditing tool into the ordinary execution of source code revision.

It is one of those words that gets pulled in many directions by everyone trying to sell something – sometimes to such an extreme that it becomes meaningless because it has been stretched to encompass everything. To avoid the buzzword trap and start addressing how infrastructure teams can be part of Dev Ops efforts in their organizations, let me explain my take beyond tools and buzzwords. We can think of Dev Ops as the evolution of the revolution that started when our own processes became the main obstacle affecting our ability to deliver results and respond quickly to the changes in the market. What is Dev Ops? In its purest form, what is Dev Ops? Dev Ops is an outcome driven culture. A culture focused on the agility to provide fast results while retaining quality.

"text": "\"The Strategic Role of Product Management when Development goes Agile By Pragmatic Marketing, Luke Hohmann, Rich Mironov November 10, 2009While software development teams have been moving toward agile methods for years, many product managers are only now becoming aware of it. An agile approach applies collaborative and continuous improvement concepts to software development. It emphasizes close collaboration between development teams and customers; frequent delivery of deployable code (in sprints); face-to-face communication with customers; tight, self-organizing teams; managing backlogs of user stories to reduce requirements churn; and identification of self-improvement opportunities. There is no single, definitive “agile method.” Agile teams tune practices and processes for themselves to create a method that is unique to their environment. Broadly, agile methods function as both an organizational philosophy and a set of development methodologies. When you adopt agile development methods, you encounter new concepts, new artifacts, new planning methods, and new roles and relationships. It seems that agile teams do everything in a new way. And, as you attempt to integrate agile into your existing systems, you’ll also attempt to map these new concepts to your old, familiar concepts. Requirements are now stories; iterations are now sprints."

The definition of done (often called a “Do D”) establishes what must be true of each product backlog item for that item to be done. A typical Do D would be something similar to: The code is well written. ( That is, we’re happy with it and don’t feel like it immediately needs to be rewritten. ) The code is checked in. ( Kind of an “of course” statement, but still worth calling out. ) The code was either pair programmed or peer reviewed. The code comes with tests at all appropriate levels. ( That is, unit, service and user interface. ) The feature the code implements has been documented in any end-user documentation such as manuals or help systems."

Agile values individuals, interactions and customer collaboration that is responsive to change to produce working software. Agile processes promote sustainable development by teams of motivated individuals providing incremental delivery of technically excellent working software in short iterations. Business people and developers work together daily, embracing change for the customer’s competitive advantage. Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile framework for developing and sustaining complex products. The Scrum Guide contains the definition of Scrum. This definition consists of Scrum’s roles, events, artifacts and the rules that bind them. Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, employing frequent inspection and adaptation to optimize predictability and control risk. The heart of Scrum is a sprint, a time-box of one month or less during which a “done,” useable and potentially releasable product increment is created. A sprint review with customers is held at the end of each sprint to inspect the increment and adapt the product backlog if needed."

It is designed for teams of three to nine developers who break their work into actions that can be completed within timeboxed iterations, called sprints (typically two-weeks) and track progress and re-plan in 15-minute stand-up meetings, called daily scrums. [ 1] [2] Approaches to coordinating the work of multiple scrum teams in larger organizations include Large-Scale Scrum, Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and Scrum of Scrums, among others.

[ 3] [4] It defines \"\"a flexible, holistic product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal\"\", [5] challenges assumptions of the \"\"traditional, sequential approach\"\" [5] to product development, and enables teams to self-organize by encouraging physical co-location or close online collaboration of all team members, as well as daily face-to-face communication among all team members and disciplines involved. A key principle of Scrum is the dual recognition that customers will change their minds about what they want or need (often called requirements volatility [6]) and that there will be unpredictable challenges—for which a predictive or planned approach is not suited. As such, Scrum adopts an evidence-based empirical approach —accepting that the problem cannot be fully understood or defined up front, and instead focusing on how to maximize the team's ability to deliver quickly, to respond to emerging requirements, and to adapt to evolving technologies and changes in market conditions. Many of the terms used in Scrum (e.g., scrum master) are typically written with leading capitals (i.e., Scrum Master) or as conjoint words written in camel case (i.e., Scrum Master). To maintain an encyclopedic tone, however, this article uses normal sentence case for these terms—unless they are recognized marks (such as Certified Scrum Master ). This is occasionally seen written in all-capitals, as SCRUM. ["

"text": "\"GLOSSARYPair Programming Agile 101 Agile Manifesto 12 Principles Subway Map to Agile Practices Agile Glossary Agile Practices Timeline Definition Pair programming consists of two programmers sharing a single workstation (one screen, keyboard and mouse among the pair). The programmer at the keyboard is usually called the \"\"driver\"\", the other, also actively involved in the programming task but focusing more on overall direction is the \"\"navigator\"\"; it is expected that the programmers swap roles every few minutes or so. Also Known As More simply \"\"pairing\"\"; the phrases \"\"paired programming\"\" and \"\"programming in pairs\"\" are also used, less frequently. Common Pitfallsboth programmers must be actively engaging with the task throughout a paired session, otherwise no benefit can be expecteda simplistic but often raised objection is that pairing \"\"doubles costs\"\"; that is a misconception based on equating programming with typing - however, one should be aware that this is the worst-case outcome of poorly applied pairingat least the driver, and possibly both programmers, are expected to keep up a running commentary; pair programming is also \"\"programming out loud\"\" - if the driver is silent, the navigator should intervenepair programming cannot be fruitfully forced upon people, especially if relationship issues, including the most mundane (such as personal hygiene), are getting in the way; solve these first!Origins The names of various celebrities have been invoked in an attempt to imbue pair programming with an aura of necessity if not sanctity; anecdotes of John Von Neummann, Fred Brooks, Jerry Weinberg, Richard Gabriel or Edsger Dijkstra using the practice are fascinating but sometimes hard to substantiate. However, the following timeline of verifiable sources does suggest that pair programming, in its modern form, has been around since well before the Agile movement:1992: \"\"Dynamic Duo\"\" is the term coined by Larry Constantine, reporting on a visit to Whitesmiths Inc., a compiler vendor started by P. J. Plauger, one of the implementors of C: \"\"At each terminal were two programmers! Of course, only one programmer was actually cutting code at each keyboard, but the others were peering over their shoulders.\"\" Whitesmiths existed from 1978 to 1988.1993: \"\"The benefits of collaboration for student programmers\"\" by Wilson et al. is one early empirical study indicating benefits of pairing for programming tasks specifically. Posterior studies are more abundant and driven by the desire to \"\"validate\"\" pair programming after it had already gained popularity through Extreme Programming.1995: the pattern \"\"Developing in Pairs\"\" is given a brief description, in Alexandrian pattern form, in Jim Coplien's chapter \"\"A Generative Development-Process Pattern Language\"\" from the first patterns book, \"\"Pattern Languages of Program Design\"\".1998: in \"\"Chrysler goes to Extremes\"\", the earliest article about Extreme Programming, pair programming is presented as one of the core practices of the C3 team; it is later described formally as one of XP's original \"\"twelve practices\"\"2000: (or earlier) - the roles of Driver and Navigator are introduced to help explain pair programming; the earliest known reference is a mailing list posting; note however that the reality of these roles has been disputed, for instance Sallyann Bryant's article \"\" Pair programming and the mysterious role of the navigator \"\"2002: \"\" Pair Programming Illuminated \"\", by Laurie Williams and Robert Kessler, is the first book devoted exclusively to the practice and discusses its theory, practice and the various studies up to that date2003: an anonymous article on the C2 Wiki describes Ping-Pong Programming, a moderately popular variant which marries pairing with test-driven development.2015: James Coplien publishes Two Heads are Better Than One which provides an overview of the history of Pair Programming that traces its origins back to the mid 1980's if not before. Skill Levels As suggested above one of the major issues preventing effective pairing is passivity."

Emerge? Self-organizing? Profound, to be sure. But what do we really make of this sentence? First let me throw water on that whole dogma thing. The whole point to the Agile Manifesto and its Principles is to be less dogmatic about how we build good software. So I don’t really care what the esteemed crafters of this bite-size morsel of profundity actually meant by emerge and self-organizing. Instead, what I do really care about is how to help our organizations achieve their goals – especially how to be more agile."

"text": "\"Javier Bonnemaison, Lean Agile Management Consultant Answered Apr 1, 2015 As you seem to imply, Agile is not equal to Scrum. However, Scrum clearly prescribes time boxing as an essential component of its framework. The primary reason for having a fixed time box or iteration length is to control the amount of work in progress (WIP) during each iteration. This helps maintain team focus by minimizing interruptions and task switching. Managing WIP is important for many reasons and in any context, but it is essential when trying to deliver a working increment of software in a relatively brief time frame. This is the main reason why time boxing is considered an essential part of the Scrum framework. On the other hand this is just one way of accomplishing this goal. It is entirely possible to retain most of the elements of Scrum and do away with time boxing by, for example, overlaying Kanban and setting WIP limits at the level of workflow steps. That being said, the specific methodology that works best for each organization at a particular point in time will be entirely context dependent. Another feature of Scrum's time boxes is their relative brevity."

A Paradigm Shift from a Plan-driven Mentality Copyright The tragedy started when the crew accidentally bored into an adjacent, abandoned mine that was flooded with water. The miners’ map told them, incorrectly, that the abandoned mine was hundreds of yards away. The men scrambled to reach the exit, but the rising water blocked the way out. Their only option was to seek out the highest point in the mine. Word of the accident spread above ground and a rescue team was formed.

If you have a test strategy, it is easier to focus effort on the most important test activities at the time. Moreover, a test strategy provides clarity on the test approach to the project stakeholders. Having said that, my earlier post, How to create a powerful test strategy, is well read. According to web analytics, its readership has been among the top five articles of this blog for quite some time. However, many readers asked for example software testing strategy document that I could not share at the time. Therefore, I requested Varsha, who is a senior member of the Software Testing Space community, to create an example test strategy for a hypothetical agile project.

"text": "5 Steps to Agile Project Success The dynamic, fast-paced nature of Agile software development requires auditors to think differently about internal controls. David Tilk April 13, 2016 0 Comments More and more organizations have been turning to the Agile methodology for their software development efforts. According to Pricewaterhouse Coopers’ Global Portfolio and Programme Management Survey 2014, use of Agile has increased by 11 percent since 2012. At the same time, many internal audit functions are struggling with how to interact with Agile projects, especially those whose experience lies with more traditional, system development life-cycle (SDLC) controls. Agile processes help project teams manage unpredictability through a focus on adaptive planning and rapid, flexible response to change. The Agile philosophy encompasses several iterative software delivery methodologies — including scrum, extreme programming, and feature-driven development — that emphasize a lean, interactive approach to product development. In fact, Agile is not confined to a single method of delivery — most organizations take a hybrid approach, drawing from multiple iterative development methodologies. The products to which Agile is applied typically emphasize making usable code available quickly to meet business needs. Agile project management focuses on perceived value-add processes. The values that underpin this approach, as defined by the Agile Manifesto, specify that: a) individuals and interactions are more valuable than processes and tools, b) working software is a higher priority than comprehensive documentation, c) customer collaboration is more important than contract negotiation, and d) responding to change is preferable to following a rigid plan."

If you do these five things, you do devops. Clearly, all five are important to get right, but all too easy to get wrong. In particular, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) may be the most difficult devops moves to master. Continuous integration (CI) is a process in which developers and testers collaboratively validate new code. Traditionally, developers wrote code and integrated it once a month for testing. That was inefficient—a mistake in code from four weeks ago could force the developers to revise code written one week ago. To overcome that problem, CI depends on automation to integrate and test code continuously. Scrum teams using CI commit code daily at the very least, while a majority of them commit code for every change introduced. ["

As a result they are finding ways to bring testing and quality assurance techniques into their work practices as much as possible. This article overviews the techniques and philosophies which disciplined agile developers are applying in practice, putting them into the context of the agile software development lifecycle.

Having said that, my definition of d isciplined agile software development is: An iterative and incremental (evolutionary) approach to software development which is performed in a highly collaborative manner by self-organizing teams within an effective governance framework, with \"\"just enough\"\" ceremony that produces high-quality solutions in a cost effective and timely manner which meets the changing needs of its stakeholders."

Traditional Quality Management I’m grateful to Anthony Marcano ( Testing Reflections) and Anna Charemza for reminding me that Quality Management is not the same as testing. Project Quality Management is one of the nine project management knowledge areas in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) from the Project Management Institute (2004). But Quality Management is a much wider initiative originating in Japanese manufacturing. Quality Policy, Management, Systems, Assurance, Control, etc, etc There are a lot of t erms which include the word quality so I thought I’d start with some definitions from ASQ: Glossary to set the scene: Quality policy: An organization’s general statement of its beliefs about quality, how quality will come about and its expected result. Quality management (QM): The application of a quality management system in managing a process to achieve maximum customer satisfaction at the lowest overall cost to the organization while continuing to improve the process. Quality management system (QMS): A formalized system that documents the structure, responsibilities and procedures required to achieve effective quality management.

Consider the following User stories trace their origins to e Xtreme Programming, another Agile method with many similarities to Scrum. Scrum teams often employ aspects of e Xtreme Programming, including user stories as well as engineering practices such as refactoring, test-driven development ( TDD) and pair programming to name a few. In future modules of this program, you will have the opportunity to become familiar enough with some of these practices in order to understand their importance in delivering quality products and how you can encourage your team to develop them. For now, we will concentrate on the capability of writing good user stories. The Three ‘C’s i A User Story has three primary components, each of which begin with the letter ‘C’: Card The Card, or written text of the User Story is best understood as an invitation to conversation. This is an important concept, as it fosters the understanding that in Scrum, you don’t have to have all of the Product Backlog Items written out perfectly “up front”, before you bring them to the team. It acknowledges that the customer and the team will be discovering the underlying business/system neededas they are working on it. This discovery occurs through conversation and collaboration around user stories.

Speed Most sports and activities require some form of speed. Even long distance running often requires a burst of speed to finish the race ahead of your competitors. Speed is defined as the ability to move a body part quickly. Speed is not always about how quickly you can move your whole body from A to B. It also relates to body parts. For example, when playing golf, the speed of your arms and upper body in creating the swing are vital in driving the ball over a long distance. Reaction Time Reaction time is how quickly your brain can respond to a stimulus and initiate a response. This is important in most sports. The most obvious being responding to the gun at the start of a race, but also a goalkeeper saving a penalty, or a badminton player reacting to a smash shot."

Crew isn't just about physical toughness, it's about mental stability and teamwork too. There's an individual aspect — how hard do I pull by my self — and a teamwork aspect — do I gel well with my team mates. If you have one without the other, it becomes extremely difficult to win. However, crew is an amazing sport with a ridiculous scholarship rate and is the best team sport I can recommend to anyone699 Views Related Questions More Answers Below What sport requires the most skill?

Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Rock climbing Rock climbing is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal is to reach the summit of a formation or the endpoint of a pre-defined route without falling. To successfully complete a climb you must return to base safely, due to the length and extended endurance required accidents are more likely to happen on decent than ascent, especially on the larger multiple pitches. Rock climbing competitions have objectives of completing the route in the quickest possible time or the farthest along an increasingly difficult route. Scrambling, another activity involving the scaling of hills and similar formations, is similar to rock climbing. However, rock climbing is generally differentiated by its sustained use of hands to support the climber's weight as well as to provide balance. Rock climbing is a physically and mentally demanding sport, one that often tests a climber's strength, endurance, agility and balance along with mental control. It can be a dangerous sport and knowledge of proper climbing techniques and usage of specialised climbing equipment is crucial for the safe completion of routes. Because of the wide range and variety of rock formations around the world, rock climbing has been separated into several different styles and sub-disciplines."

"text": "Dog Care And Advice Dog Activities Starting Out In Dog Agility How to get started in dog agility To get started in agility, find a good club or trainer in your area. The Kennel Club has a list of registered clubs and trainers, but there are also some really good trainers who aren't registered with the KC because they don't want to pay the registration fee. So, it's worth searching the internet or asking at your local vet's. A couple of agility training sessions a week is plenty, combined with a little practice at home. It helps to have a few agility jumps at home to practise your agility, but don't do hours of practice, just a bit here and there. There are some great agility jumps available on the internet, but go for the hurdle jumps or proper agility jumps, not flimsy garden types. Eighteen months old is the minimum age for competing in agility. However, you can start agility training at just under a year old, starting with jumps at a low height. Make everything fun. Dogs and owners need to enjoy themselves."

Soccer players need a combination of fitness attributes such as strength, endurance, power, co-ordination, speed and agility, in order to perform and play at a high intensity considering games last 90 minutes plus, therefore as stated by (Stolen et al, 2005) success depends on players being mentally, physically, technically and tactically prepared for competition. Within this assignment I will outline the preparation requirements for a soccer player under the following headings: Strength Training, Endurance Training, Speed Agility and Quickness Training. While doing so I will give general information on each of the three topics, and then move on to give information about the specific requirements for the soccer player. Strength Training: According to Darden, (1992)\"\"Well developed, strong, lean body parts will help any athlete or non-athlete perform better.\"\" Pg: 45Stated by Croisier et al., ( 2005) Strength training is very important for any competing athlete, as it corrects muscle imbalances and reduces the risk of injury, for safety it is important for everyone taking part in strength training to use a spotter and apply good lifting technique to avoid injury. Strength training is also important for non-athletes as it enhances quality of life for people as they can go about everyday tasks such as getting out of bed, getting dressed, carrying shopping bags, walking up stairs etc. ("

If you are involved in the sport, you can expect to spend some time with the rope. You could walk into any boxing gym in the country and I am willing to bet that you will hear a few familiar sounds. Young fighters will thump away at the heavy bags. Others will create rhythmic sounds on the speed bag. A bell will ring every few minutes, indicating the beginning and end of a new round. Amid these sounds, you can also expect to hear a fast-skipping noise. The skipping noise will come from the spinning motion of several jump ropes.

Phone: 317-274-4356; Fax: 317-274-4361; E-mail: [email protected] Next Section Abstract This brief review focuses on calcium balance and homeostasis and their relationship to dietary calcium intake and calcium supplementation in healthy subjects and patients with chronic kidney disease and mineral bone disorders (CKD-MBD). Calcium balance refers to the state of the calcium body stores, primarily in bone, which are largely a function of dietary intake, intestinal absorption, renal excretion, and bone remodeling. Bone calcium balance can be positive, neutral, or negative, depending on a number of factors, including growth, aging, and acquired or inherited disorders. Calcium homeostasis refers to the hormonal regulation of serum ionized calcium by parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and serum ionized calcium itself, which together regulate calcium transport at the gut, kidney, and bone. Hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia indicate serious disruption of calcium homeostasis but do not reflect calcium balance on their own. Calcium balance studies have determined the dietary and supplemental calcium requirements needed to optimize bone mass in healthy subjects. However, similar studies are needed in CKD-MBD, which disrupts both calcium balance and homeostasis, because these data in healthy subjects may not be generalizable to this patient group. Importantly, increasing evidence suggests that calcium supplementation may enhance soft tissue calcification and cardiovascular disease in CKD-MBD. Further research is needed to elucidate the risks and mechanisms of soft tissue calcification with calcium supplementation in both healthy subjects and CKD-MBD patients."

The first prospect that came to mind was General Motors. I picked General Motors because of its popularity in the United States. I had some interesting general knowledge of the company like the dependability and quality of their cars. Some comments were, “I rather have a Chevy Truck than a Ford” and “The general motors cars are more dependable than Ford.” These comments made it clear that I liked the General Motors auto line of cars. Then, I asked myself what would be a cooperate company just as enormous. I came to a conclusion that Ford would be the other company. Though Ford has a nice line of cars, I had some negative thoughts about the company. Acronyms were said such as, “Found On Road Dead” or “Fix Or Repair Daily.”"

Catharsis (from Greek κάθαρσις katharsis meaning \"\"purification\"\" or \"\"cleansing\"\") is the purification and purgation of emotions—particularly pity and fear—through art [1] or any extreme change in emotion that results in renewal and restoration. [ 2] [3] It is a metaphor originally used by Aristotle in the Poetics, comparing the effects of tragedy on the mind of a spectator to the effect of a cathartic on the body.

Nowhere does Aristotle explain the meaning of \"\"catharsis\"\" as he is using that term in the definition of tragedy in the Poetics (1449b21-28). G. F. Else argues that traditional, widely held interpretations of catharsis as \"\"purification\"\" or \"\"purgation\"\" have no basis in the text of the Poetics, but are derived from the use of catharsis in other Aristotelian and non-Aristotelian contexts. [ 7] For this reason, a number of diverse interpretations of the meaning of this term have arisen. The term is often discussed along with Aristotle's concept of anagnorisis. D. W. Lucas, in an authoritative edition of the Poetics, comprehensively covers the various nuances inherent in the meaning of the term in an Appendix devoted to \"\"Pity, Fear, and Katharsis\"\". [ 8] Lucas recognizes the possibility of catharsis bearing some aspect of the meaning of \"\"purification, purgation, and 'intellectual clarification'\"\" although his discussion of these terms is not always, or perhaps often, in the precise form with which other influential scholars have treated them."

Currently, the Social Security Board of Trustees projects program cost to rise by 2035 so that taxes will be enough to pay for only 75 percent of scheduled benefits. This increase in cost results from population aging, not because we are living longer, but because birth rates dropped from three to two children per woman. Importantly, this shortfall is basically stable after 2035; adjustments to taxes or benefits that offset the effects of the lower birth rate may restore solvency for the Social Security program on a sustainable basis for the foreseeable future. Finally, as Treasury debt securities (trust fund assets) are redeemed in the future, they will just be replaced with public debt. If trust fund assets are exhausted without reform, benefits will necessarily be lowered with no effect on budget deficits."

School of Family & Consumer Sciences The University of Akron|Email: [email protected] . Abstract As children develop, there are many environmental influences on their socialization to adult roles. Influences include parents, media, peers and school experience. The reading materials children use in school show males and females in various roles; the portrayal of males and females in those materials has a strong impact on how children view male and female roles in society. This overview of literature dealing with the influence of reading materials on gender role socialization suggests that adherence to traditional gender roles is encouraged and perpetuated by the books used in schools today much as it was 25 years ago. Introduction In 1912 the government of the United States mandated compulsory education for all children, boys and girls (Golombok & Fivush, 1994). While the letter of the law may be followed, the spirit of the law sometimes gets diverted. In actuality, boys and girls receive very different educations."

His most recent work published by the Center for Immigration Studies includes: Immigration in a Time of Recession: An Examination of Trends Since 2000; Where Immigrants Live: An Examination of State Residency of the Foreign-Born; Back Where We Started: An Examination of Trends in Immigrant Welfare Use Since Welfare Reform; and The Open Door: How Militant Islamic Terrorists Entered and Remained in the United States, 1993-2001. Executive Summary This study is one of the first to estimate the total impact of illegal immigration on the federal budget. Most previous studies have focused on the state and local level and have examined only costs or tax payments, but not both. Based on Census Bureau data, this study finds that, when all taxes paid (direct and indirect) and all costs are considered, illegal households created a net fiscal deficit at the federal level of more than $10 billion in 2002. We also estimate that, if there was an amnesty for illegal aliens, the net fiscal deficit would grow to nearly $29 billion."

A coach was assigned to me, wherein her requirement was that I proceed with an extra test, called metabolic typing. This test was done via questionnaires. According to my coach this would help determine my oxidation rate and therefore what type of diet was best for my health. Based on the questionnaire, it was determined that I was a fast oxidizer and I was given a diet for fast oxidation rate, which comprised of high fat and lots of meat and a list of supplements from Ultra-Life, the supplement supplier for the Healthexcel System of Metabolic Typing . Throughout the FDN course, I was also encouraged to do a GI Pathogen Screen – BH #401H. This stool analysis determines the presence of ova and parasites such as protozoa, flatworms, and roundworms; Cryptosporidium parvum, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia lamblia antigens; bacteria, fungi (including yeasts), and occult blood; and Clostridium difficile colitis toxins A and B. No parasites in my stool were found which made me and my coach very perplexed. Thus, after so many different diagnostic tests, I asked my coach to be tested for a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). The lab used by FDN is Trace Elements (TEI)."

Moral Ambivalences of Intergenerational Transfers Merlin Schaeffer Abstract: What do inherited financial assets signify to heirs and testators and how does this shape their conduct? Based on grounded theory methodology and twenty open, thematically structured interviews with US heirs, future heirs and testators, this article explicates a theoretical account that proposes a moral ambivalence as the core category to understand the social meaning of inherited financial assets. In particular, the analysis reveals that the social meaning of inherited assets is a contingent, individual compromise between seeing inherited assets as unachieved wealth and seeing them as family means of support. Being the lifetime achievement of another person, inheritances are, on the one hand, morally dubious and thus difficult to appropriate. Yet in terms of family solidarity, inheritances are \"\"family money,\"\" which is used when need arises. Taken from this angle, inheriting is not the transfer of one individual's privately held property to another person, but rather the succession of the social status as support-giver along with the resources that belong to this status to the family's next generation. Heirs need to find a personal compromise between these poles, which always leaves room for interpretation."

However, we've shown in a series of articles ( part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 ) that such a mechanism is highly unlikely — excess protein does not just get immediately turned into glucose. The evidence points to gluconeogenesis being driven by demand for glucose, not supply of protein. However, it does appear that above a certain level of protein intake ketogenesis declines. So regardless of mechanism, as ketogenic dieters, we probably still need to limit protein. It's not clear how much is too much. But how much is enough?"

This is a pronounced shift from a few decades ago, when many retirees could count on predictable, constant streams of income from traditional pensions (see “Types of retirement plans,” below). This chartbook assesses the impact of the shift from pensions to individual savings by examining disparities in retirement preparedness and outcomes by income, race, ethnicity, education, gender, and marital status. The first section of the chartbook looks at retirement-plan participation and retirement account savings of working-age families. The charts in this section focus on families headed by someone age 32–61, a 30-year period before the Social Security early eligibility age of 62 when most families should be accumulating pension benefits and retirement savings. The second section looks at income sources for seniors. Since many workers transition to retirement between Social Security’s early eligibility age and the program’s normal retirement age (currently 66, formerly 65), the charts in the second section focus on retirement outcomes of people age 65 and older. Jump to the charts Types of retirement plans401 (k) and similar plans are referred to as defined-contribution (DC) plans because employer contributions, rather than retirement benefits, are determined in advance and employers incur no long-term liabilities. Participants in these plans are responsible for making investment decisions and shoulder investment and other risks. In contrast, in traditional defined-benefit (DB) plans (pension plans, in layman’s terms), employers are responsible for funding promised benefits, making up the difference if the contributions are insufficient due to lower-than-expected investment returns, for example.401 (k)s are an accident of history."

Abstract The immune systems of men and women differ in significant ways, especially after puberty. In particular, females are generally more prone to autoimmunity, but experience lower rates of infections and chronic inflammatory disease. Sex hormones, genes encoded on the sex chromosomes, and gender-specific behaviors likely contribute to these differences. The aging process is associated with changes in the composition and function of the immune system and these changes may occur at an accelerated rate in men as compared to women. Moreover, after the age of menopause, the incidence of chronic inflammatory disease in women approaches or exceeds that observed in males. At the same time, the incidence of autoimmunity in post-menopausal women is decreased or equivalent to the rates observed in similarly-aged men. Additional studies addressing the influence of sex on the pathogenesis of chronic and autoimmune diseases in the aged are warranted.

Side effect prone drugs only transiently soften pain and have no long-term impact on the disease itself. 3,4Conventional medical wisdom mistakenly believed that in contrast to rheumatoid arthritis —which results from an autoimmune attack on joints— osteoarthritis was simply the result of age-related “wear-and-tear. ”However, scientists now understand that, in both of these conditions, an inflammatory immune system attack on joint compounds can be triggered by exposed collagen. 5This article is about undenatured type II collagen, which has a unique molecular structure that interferes with damaging inflammation responses and helps to retrain the immune system. Studies show that exposure to small amounts of type II chicken collagen can inhibit immune overreaction to exposed collagen proteins, substantially reducing the pain and disability of osteoarthritis 4,6-8 and rheumatoid arthritis. 9-12 In one study, an unheard-of 14% of patients taking undenatured type II collagen experienced complete remission of their rheumatoid arthritis! 9A unique formulation of undenatured type II collagen, UC-II ®, was found in controlled studies to significantly reduce pain and increase function in arthritic dogs, 6,7,13,14 horses, 8 and humans. 4As you’ll learn, pain scores for osteoarthritis patients taking UC-II ® decreased—in just 90 days —by a remarkable 40 %!"

VZV is still referred to by separate terms: Varicella: The primary infection that causes chickenpox Herpes zoster: The reactivation of the virus that causes shingles Varicella (Chickenpox). When patients with chickenpox cough or sneeze, they expel tiny droplets that carry the virus. If a person who has never had chickenpox or never been vaccinated inhales these particles, the virus enters the lungs. From here it passes into the bloodstream. When it is carried to the skin it produces the typical rash of chickenpox. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, a member of the herpes virus family.

Without the proper methylation in the body, many of our body's systems would break down faster or make mistakes. For instance, as we age methylation is slowed and begins to perform less than adequately. Taking the correct forms of b vitamins, B6, B12, and folic acid, will help the methylation process from showing its age. Those with methylation deficiencies need the assistance from these critical vitamins to perform properly. Methylated Vitamin Supplements Beyond just simple wear and tear prevention, methylation helps rid the body of toxins, it is useful for converting vitamins that are water soluble, into the fat soluble form. Methylated vitamins are even more important due to the fact that many people may suffer from a methylation deficiency. Many people are genetically predisposed to having inadequate methylation. For many, B vitamins supplements may not be enough. In the US as many as 60% of the population have a genetic defect that inhibits the process of turning folic acid into its active component, 5-MTHF, needed for methylation."

Vaccines to prevent these diseases are very effective, but underused. Some adults incorrectly assume that the vaccines they received as children will protect them for the rest of their lives. This is true for certain diseases, such as polio. However, some adults were never vaccinated as children. New vaccines such as the chickenpox vaccination were not available when many adults were children. And vaccinations for certain diseases must be repeated periodically to maintain immunity. In addition, certain vaccines are given to adults but not children. This is because with aging, we become more susceptible to serious diseases caused by common infections (such as flu or pneumonia ). The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Department of Health and Human Services through the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) made the following recommendations about vaccines needed by all adults: Vaccines needed for all adults: Varicella ( chickenpox) vaccine Hepatitis B vaccines (adults at risk)Measles - mumps - rubella (MMR) vaccine Tetanus - diphtheria - pertussis (Td/Tdap) vaccine Vaccines needed for those aged 50 years and older: influenza vaccine (for the flu)Vaccines needed for those aged 60 years and older: shingles vaccine Vaccines needed for those aged 65 years and older: pneumococcal vaccine Vaccines needed for all health-care workers: influenza vaccine (for the flu)Annual updates are made each year by the CDC."

It is the body’s immune system that is responsible for getting rid of these foreign substances and building protection against further harm. This process is known as the “immune response.” Sometimes this naturally occurring process can backfire, causing the immune system to mistakenly attack itself and lead to inflammation, cellular damage, and autoimmune disorders. So what exactly causes the body to attack itself, and what can you do to help prevent it from happening to you? A Growing Concern Autoimmune diseases include a family of about 100 known conditions where the body’s immune system attacks its own connective tissues, organs, and systems. It’s an alarming yet little well-known fact that an estimated 23.5 million Americans suffer from autoimmune disorders, and some data suggest the number affected is closer to 50 million. Even more surprisingly, about 75% or more sufferers are women. That means one in nine women is afflicted by autoimmune disease, making it more prevalent than heart disease or breast cancer."

"text": "<< Back to January 2009Optimizing Digestive Health (And Why Most Probiotics Fail to Work)January 2009By Lane Lenard, PHDMany of the health complaints that plague aging adults—from impaired immunity to digestive distress and nutritional deficiencies—can be traced to a key underlying factor: poor digestive health. One common cause of impaired digestive health is an age-related decline in the digestive enzymes needed to extract essential nutrients from the foods we eat. Without these crucial enzymes, food passes through the gastrointestinal tract without yielding its beneficial constituents. The result is poor nutritional status, which can contribute to numerous disease processes. Digestive health can be further impaired by an imbalance between beneficial and pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, which can contribute to symptoms of gas and bloating as well as poor utilization of nutrients. Fortunately, advanced enzyme supplements, along with specially encased probiotics, can help restore balance to the digestive system, allowing for the optimal utilization of precious nutrients. The benefits of a healthy gastrointestinal system include digestive comfort, improved immune health, and decreased inflammation. Age-Related Digestive Decline Although you may be consuming the healthiest, freshest, most nutrient-rich diet possible, you could still wind up chronically ill from diseases related to malnutrition. How could this be possible? It could happen if your digestive system is functioning less than optimally, an increasingly common occurrence as people grow older."

Some infectious diseases, such as polio and smallpox, have been eliminated in the United States due to effective vaccines. It is now rare for children in the United States to experience the devastating and often deadly effects of these diseases that were once common in the United States and other countries with high vaccination coverage. The vast majority of vaccines are given to healthy babies, children and adults; therefore, it is critical that vaccines be demonstrated to be safe and effective. Ensuring the safety and effectiveness of vaccines is one of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) top priorities. The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is the center within FDA that has regulatory oversight of vaccines in the United States assuring the availability of safe and effective vaccines. Because immunization programs of the 20th century were so successful, many of today’s parents have never seen many vaccine-preventable diseases and do not understand the potential for them to re-emerge. If too many individuals choose not to vaccinate themselves or their children, some diseases that are now rare or non-existent in this country may resurface. The viruses and bacteria that cause vaccine-preventable diseases and death still exist and can cause disease in people who are not protected by vaccines. For example, although measles has not been constantly present in the United States since 2000, sporadic cases continue to occur, primarily from unvaccinated visitors who are bringing the disease into the United States from other countries or unvaccinated U. S. travelers returning to the U. S. from countries where measles is still common, including countries in Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa."

"text": "Should a dog who is ill or recovering from an illness be vaccinated? The decision as to whether a dog who is showing signs of disease should be vaccinated or not needs to be made on an individual basis. One must consider whether the benefits outweigh the risks. Results of a physical examination and possible laboratory tests will aid in the decision. Signs of illness in a young puppy may need to be interpreted differently than similar signs in an adult animal. For example, in an older dog with a skin disease unassociated with an immune problem, vaccination is probably OK. Will vaccination of an animal being treated with glucocorticoids be effective? Short-term and low doses of glucocorticoids such as prednisone most likely would NOT interfere with the effectiveness of a vaccination. Animals on high doses of glucocorticoids and other immunosuppressants, however, may not respond adequately to a vaccination. Why do young animals need a series of vaccinations?"

"text": "<< Back to July 2012Halt the Auto-Immune Attack of Arthritis July 2012By Michael Downey By the time people reach age 65, a startling 80%show X-ray evidence of osteoarthritis 1 —the most frequent cause of musculo-skeletal disability worldwide. 1,2Most doctors consider osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis to be progressive and incurable. Side effect prone drugs only transiently soften pain and have no long-term impact on the disease itself. 3,4Conventional medical wisdom mistakenly believed that in contrast to rheumatoid arthritis —which results from an autoimmune attack on joints— osteoarthritis was simply the result of age-related “wear-and-tear. ”However, scientists now understand that, in both of these conditions, an inflammatory immune system attack on joint compounds can be triggered by exposed collagen. 5This article is about undenatured type II collagen, which has a unique molecular structure that interferes with damaging inflammation responses and helps to retrain the immune system. Studies show that exposure to small amounts of type II chicken collagen can inhibit immune overreaction to exposed collagen proteins, substantially reducing the pain and disability of osteoarthritis 4,6-8 and rheumatoid arthritis. 9-12 In one study, an unheard-of 14% of patients taking undenatured type II collagen experienced complete remission of their rheumatoid arthritis! 9A unique formulation of undenatured type II collagen, UC-II ®, was found in controlled studies to significantly reduce pain and increase function in arthritic dogs, 6,7,13,14 horses, 8 and humans. 4As you’ll learn, pain scores for osteoarthritis patients taking UC-II ® decreased—in just 90 days —by a remarkable 40 %!"

The immune system keeps a record of every germ (microbe) it has ever defeated so it can recognise and destroy the microbe quickly if it enters the body again. Abnormalities of the immune system can lead to allergic diseases, immunodeficiencies and autoimmune disorders. On this page: The immune system and microbial infection Parts of the immune system The body's other defences against microbes Fever is an immune system response Common disorders of the immune system Immunisation Where to get help The immune system is made up of special organs, cells and chemicals that fight infection (microbes). The main parts of the immune system are: white blood cells, antibodies, the complement system, the lymphatic system, the spleen, the thymus, and the bone marrow. These are the parts of your immune system that actively fight infection. The immune system and microbial infection The immune system keeps a record of every microbe it has ever defeated, in types of white blood cells (B- and T-lymphocytes) known as memory cells. This means it can recognise and destroy the microbe quickly if it enters the body again, before it can multiply and make you feel sick. Some infections, like the flu and the common cold, have to be fought many times because so many different viruses or strains of the same type of virus can cause these illnesses. Catching a cold or flu from one virus does not give you immunity against the others."

"text": "\"The Thymus Gland is a small gland in the upper chest. It weighs 1/3 - 1/2 half ounce at birth, and reaches its peak weight of about 17 ounces at puberty. Thereafter, under the influence of many factors, including adrenal and sex hormones, the active thymus gland cells begin to die off, with much of the thymus gland tissue being gradually replaced by fat and connective tissue. Much of the healthy thymus gland structure typically atrophies by age 20, and the decline accelerates throughout life thereafter. As immunologist Keith Kelly notes: \"\"The involution (shrinkage) of the thymus gland is one of the cardinal bio-markers of aging.\"\" In the past 40 years, science has discovered that the thymus gland is the key regulator of immunity. Collectively, thymus gland hormones have been shown, in human, animal and in vitro studies, to have a broad range of action, well beyond merely maturing and differentiating T cells. These hormones can prevent the tissue wasting that occurs with thymus gland removal or severe thymus gland atrophy, and promote healthy weight gain in disease states- such as AIDS - where catabolic body wasting is typical. The thymus gland hormones can reduce autoimmune reactions, clinically and experimentally, such as occur in rheumatoid arthritis. Thymus gland hormones also prevent the bone marrow injury and subsequent reduction in white and red blood cell production, frequently produced by X-ray or chemotherapy cancer treatment."

There are two types of white blood cells. Lymphocytes, as we have seen,are one type; phagocytes are the other. Phagocytes are scavengers that patrol the body and engulf and ingest antigens. They are not choosy. Theywill eat anything suspicious that they find in the blood stream, tissues, or lymphatic system. In the lungs, forinstance, they consume particles of dust and other pollutants that enter with each breath. They can cleanselungs that have been blackened with the contaminants of cigarette smoke, provided the smoking stops.

Explain the role of B lymphocutes and T lymphocytes in adaptive immunity Adaptive immunity response is mediated by 2 different typesof lymphocytes--B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. B cells are responsibile for humoral immunity that is mediated by circulating antibodies. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity, in which they kill target cells directly or stimulate the activity of other leukocytes (p. 252)Antigens Antigens are substances that react with molecules of the immune system (antibodies, receptors on B and T cells). They are infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites), on noninfectious substances from the environment (pollens, foods, or bee venoms), or on drugs, vaccines, transfusions, and transplanted tissues. Adaptive immunity Protection from an infectious disease agent that is mediated by B- and T- LYMPHOCYTES following exposure to specific antigen, and characterized by IMMUNOLOGIC MEMORY. It can result from either previous infection with that agent or vaccination (IMMUNITY, ACTIVE), or transfer of antibody or lymphocytes from an immune donor (IMMUNIZATION, PASSIVE). Humoral Immunity humoral immunity involves the production of antibody molecules in response to an antigen and is mediated by B-lymphocytes."

"text": "Though it is well known that enzymes are an essential part of a healthy digestive system it is less well known the essential role they play in supporting a healthy immune system. Before we talk about the connection they have with our immunity, let’s consider how enzymes work digestively. From This Episode: What's Your Sixth Sense Trying to Tell You About Your Health? Enzymes are secreted with beautifully orchestrated precision by your digestive organs to accelerate the breakdown of food (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) so your gut can extract and distribute the nutrients that are locked inside. They also assist you in absorbing these nutrients and eliminating what can’t be used. Without enzymes, food would just sit in your gut and slowly rot. There are several enzymes with specialized roles – too many to describe here – but they fall into general categories: lipases that break down fat, amylases that handle carbohydrates, and proteases that work on proteins. Digestive Distress Any of us who’ve had a meal and felt bloated and full afterwards knows what it’s like to suffer from poor digestion. Let’s face it though, we live in a complex society and complex foods are a part of this society. Sadly, so much of what’s in today’s complex food is nearly indigestible or outright bad for you."

Emotion is often associated and considered reciprocally influential with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation, as well as influenced by hormones and neurotransmitters such as dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin, oxytocin, cortisol and GABA. Emotion is often the driving force behind motivation, positive or negative. An alternative definition of emotion is a \"\"positive or negative experience that is associated with a particular pattern of physiological activity.\"\" The physiology of emotion is closely linked to arousal of the nervous system with various states and strengths of arousal relating, apparently, to particular emotions. Although those acting primarily on emotion may seem as if they are not thinking, cognition is an important aspect of emotion, particularly the interpretation of events. For example, the experience of fear usually occurs in response to a threat. The cognition of danger and subsequent arousal of the nervous system is an integral component to the subsequent interpretation and labeling of that arousal as an emotional state."

Abstract Nowadays, only a small percentage of waste tyres are being land-filled. The Recycled Tyre Rubber is being used in new tyres, in tyre-derived fuel, in civil engineering applications and products, in moulded rubber products, in agricultural uses, recreational and sports applications and in rubber modified asphalt applications. The benefits of using rubber modified asphalts are being more widely experienced and recognized, and the incorporation of tyres into asphalt is likely to increase. The technology with much different evidence of success demonstrated by roads built in the last 40 years is the rubberised asphalt mixture obtained through the so-called “wet process” which involves the utilisation of the Recycled Tyre Rubber Modified Bitumens (RTR-MBs). Since 1960s, asphalt mixtures produced with RTR-MBs have been used in different parts of the world as solutions for different quality problems and, despite some downsides, in the majority of the cases they have demonstrated to enhance performance of road’s pavement. This study reports the results of a literature review upon the existing technologies and specifications related to the production, handling and storage of RTR-MBs and on their current applications within road asphalt mixtures. Furthermore, considering that RTR-MBs technologies are still struggling to be fully adopted worldwide, mainly because of poor information, lack of training of personnel and stakeholders and rare support of local policies, the present work aims to be an up-to-date reference to clarify benefits and issues associated to this family of technologies and to finally provide suggestions for their wide-spread use.

In Europe from the Middle Ages until the Industrial Revolution, this was generally as simple as a barrel with a plunger in it, which was moved by hand. Afterward, mechanical means of churning were usually substituted. Butter is essentially the fat of milk. It is usually made from sweet cream. In the USA, Ireland and the UK, salt is usually added to it. Unsalted butters are most commonly used in the rest of Europe. However, it can also be made from acidulated or bacteriologically soured cream. Well into the 19th century butter was still made from cream that had been allowed to stand and sour naturally."

Currently, the main attraction at the island is Lalaport Toyosu, one of the largest shopping malls in central Tokyo, located by the waterfront. Lalaport has many shops carrying popular international brand names like Zara and Gap, as well as local favorites like Muji and Uniqlo. The mall also offers numerous restaurants, a cinema and a promenade by the sea, providing a relaxing atmosphere for visitors.

It is also one of Japan's 47 prefectures, consisting of 23 central city wards and multiple cities, towns and villages west of the city center. The Izu and Ogasawara Islands are also part of Tokyo. Prior to 1868, Tokyo was known as Edo. A small castle town in the 16th century, Edo became Japan's political center in 1603 when Tokugawa Ieyasu established his feudal government there. A few decades later, Edo had grown into one of the world's most populous cities. With the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the emperor and capital moved from Kyoto to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo (\"\"Eastern Capital\"\"). Large parts of Tokyo were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and in the air raids of 1945. Today, Tokyo offers a seemingly unlimited choice of shopping, entertainment, culture and dining to its visitors. The city's history can be appreciated in districts such as Asakusa and in many excellent museums, historic temples and gardens."

The modern Mazatlan airport is served by a number of airlines and airline flights to Mazatlan are available from a number of cities in the United States and Canada, as well as major cities within Mexico. Operated by OMA (Grupo Aeroporuario Centro Norte), General Rafael Buelna Aeropuerto Internacional (MZT / MMMZ) is first in international airline flights in Sinaloa State. An excellent -- highly detailed -- map of the Mazatlan Airport can be found on the OMA website by clicking here. The airport serves international, domestic and charter flights; has four jetways, two concourses and four baggage claim carousels; accommodated nearly 1,000,000 airline passengers in 2016; operates 24-hours; has ATM machines; handicap accessible bathrooms; a food court and offers duty free shopping as well as an art gallery! The Mazatlan International Airport plays a very important role in Mexican aviation, as it is one of only four area / regional control centers (the others being Mexico City International Airport, Monterrey International Airport and Merida International Airport) that direct airline traffic over broad parts of Mexico -- in the case of Mazatlan, the northwest part of the country. The airport terminal has numerous auto rental agencies including Alamo, Budget, Europcar, Hertz and National, and cars can be rented at pretty much any hour that there are arriving flights. Taxi's and buses serve the airport at all hours, and secure long term parking at the airport is available for about 10 dollars per day. If you do park at the airport, remember to pay your parking ticket on your way out of the airport terminal: your ticket has a magentic stripe that needs to be validated -- it is an automated gate as you exit, there is no booth or parking lot attendant.

"text": "\"3.9 ★★★★★237 votes# 8 of 14most visited in Kobe Arima Onsen (有馬温泉) is a famous hot spring town within the city limits of Kobe, but on the opposite side of Mount Rokko from the city center. The town lies in a natural mountain setting, yet is close enough for Kobe and Osaka residents as an easy and popular day trip or weekend getaway. Although Arima Onsen has a modern look today and is pretty built up, one can still find several narrow lanes and wooden buildings when strolling around the center of town. Due to its compact size, the small town can be explored entirely on foot, and there are several hot spring sources, nice temples and shrines and a small hot spring museum (200 yen) to be discovered. With a history of over one thousand years, Arima Onsen is considered one of Japan's oldest hot spring resorts and has often stood at or near the top of onsen rankings for Western Japan. The town has two types of hot spring waters which spring up at various sources around town: the Kinsen (\"\"gold water\"\") is colored brown with iron deposits and is said to be good for skin ailments and muscle pain, while the clear Ginsen (\"\"silver water\"\") contains radium and carbonate and is said to cure various muscle and joint ailments. Visitors to Arima Onsen can enjoy hot spring bathing at two public bath houses or at the town's many ryokan. Several ryokan open their baths also to non-staying visitors during the day. The admission fee for a daytrip visit to a bath typically ranges between 500 and 2500 yen. Hot spring source The following is a list of some hot spring baths around Arima Onsen that are open to day trip visitors: Kin no Yu Open: 8:00 to 22:00 (Admission ends at 21:30) Closed: 2nd and 4th Tues each month (Wed if Tues is a holiday ), Jan 1 Admission: 650 yen Located at the center of town, Kin no Yu is the larger of Arima Onsen's two public bath houses."

"text": "Telephone numbers: Your rights Telephone numbers are a national resource owned by the Australian Government. The ACMA allocates telephone numbers to carriage service providers (providers) and they issue telephone numbers to their customers. When you are issued a telephone number for a telecommunications service, you become a ‘Rights of Use Holder’ (ROU holder) for that number. This means you have a contractual relationship with a provider to use a telecommunications service or services on that number. Can I request a certain number or reserve a number for future use? You can request a provider issue you with a specific number, but the provider is under no obligation to issue this number to you. You may also request a provider reserve a number for future use—again, this is at the discretion of the provider. Can I keep my number? You have the option to keep a telephone number when changing providers—this is known as 'porting'. Porting means you can shop around for the best rate and service without having to worry about changing your telephone number."

"text": "\"Intersection of Shijo and Kawaramachi Kyoto features a unique mix of shopping, where modern, high end fashion shops can be found alongside stores with centuries of history selling traditional Kyoto crafts or specialty foods. This is well expressed in the city's largest shopping district along Shijo Street at the heart of central Kyoto. The shopping area along Shijo Street is centered around the intersection of Shijo and Kawaramachi streets where you will find the Takashimaya and Marui department stores. A Daimaru department store, as well as high end fashion brands like Louis Vuitton, stand nearby. If you continue along Shijo Street across the Kamo River toward Yasaka Shrine, the large stores give way to smaller shops selling fashion and Kyoto specialty foods and crafts. Branching off Shijo Street around the Kawaramachi intersection are the Teramachi and Shin Kyogoku Shopping Arcades. These two parallel running, covered pedestrian streets, are packed with shops and restaurants that sell day-to-day clothes and goods and draw a younger crowd than the more upscale stores along Shijo Street. Also found in the area, Nishiki Market, a colorful narrow food market street known as \"\"Kyoto's Kitchen\"\", runs about a block off parallel to Shijo Street. Shin Kyogoku Shopping Arcade Nishiki Market Kyoto's second largest shopping area is around JR Kyoto Station and includes the extensive Porta underground shopping mall, a massive Aeon shopping mall south of the station and big retailers such as a Bic Camera electronics store. The Kyoto Station building itself houses a large Isetan department store and \"\"The Cube\"\" shopping center with various souvenir shops, boutiques and restaurants."

"text": "\"S IOUXby D. L. Birchfield Overview The Siouan-language peoples comprise one of the largest language groups north of Mexico, second only to the Algonquian family of languages. Many Siouan-language peoples are no longer identified as Sioux, but have evolved their own separate tribal identities centuries ago, long before contact with non-Indians. The name Sioux originates from a French version of the Chippewa Nadouessioux (snakes). The immense geographical spread of Siouan-language peoples, from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, attests to their importance in the history of the North American continent — most of that history having occurred before the arrival of non-Indians. Those known today as Sioux (the Dakota, the Lakota, and the Nakota), living primarily in the upper Great Plains region, are among the best-known Indians within American popular culture due to their participation in what Americans perceive to have been dramatic events within their own history, such as the Battle of the Little Big Horn in the late nineteenth century. American students have been told for more than a century that there were no survivors, despite the fact that approximately 2,500 Indian participants survived the battle. The lands of the Sioux have also been a focal point for some of the most dramatic events in the American Indian Movement of recent times, especially the 71-day occupation of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973, which brought national media attention to the Pine Ridge Reservation. Sioux writers, poets, and political leaders are today among the most influential leaders in the North American Native American community of nations, and the Sioux religion can be found to have an influence far beyond the Sioux people. HISTORYThe Sioux had the misfortune of becoming intimately acquainted with the westward thrust of American expansion at a time when American attitudes toward Indians had grown cynical. In the East and Southeast, from early colonial times, there was much disagreement regarding the nature of the relations with the Indian nations."

One of the main reasons these ranges exist is to avoid accidentally using real phone numbers in movies and television programs because viewers frequently call the numbers used. In North America, the area served by the North American Numbering Plan (NANPA) system of area codes, fictitious telephone numbers are usually of the form (XXX) 555-xxxx. The use of 555 numbers in fiction, however, led a desire to assign some of them in the real world, and some of them are no longer available for use in fiction. Other areas have different fictitious telephone numbers. To be effective, it must not be possible to change a fictitious telephone number into a real one by adding or changing a few digits. Usually, the number must be unassigned in every area code within the numbering plan.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with agranulocytes. Agranulocytosis Specialty Hematology Agranulocytosis, also known as agranulosis or granulopenia, is an acute condition involving a severe and dangerous leukopenia (lowered white blood cell count), most commonly of neutrophils causing a neutropenia in the circulating blood. [ 1] [2] It is a severe lack of one major class of infection-fighting white blood cells. People with this condition are at very high risk of serious infections due to their suppressed immune system. In agranulocytosis, the concentration of granulocytes (a major class of white blood cells that includes neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils) drops below 500 cells/mm³ of blood. Contents [ hide ]1 Classification2 Signs and symptoms3 Causes4 Diagnosis5 Treatment6 See also7 References8 External links Classification [ edit]The term \"\"agranulocytosis\"\" derives from the Greek: a, meaning without; granulocyte, a particular kind of white blood cell (containing granules in its cytoplasm); and osis, meaning condition [esp. disorder]. Consequently, agranulocytosis is sometimes described as \"\"no granulocytes\"\", but a total absence is not required for diagnosis. However, \"\"-osis\"\" is commonly used in blood disorders to imply cell proliferation (such as in \"\"leukocytosis\"\"), while \"\"-penia\"\" to imply reduced cell numbers (as in \"\"leukopenia\"\"); for these reasons, granulopenia is a more etymologically consistent term, and as such, is sometimes preferred to \"\"agranulocytosis\"\" (which can be misinterpreted as \"\"agranulocyt-osis\"\", meaning proliferation of agranulocytes (i.e. lymphocytes and monocytes). Despite this, \"\"agranulocytosis\"\" remains the most widely used term for the condition. The terms agranulocytosis, granulocytopenia and neutropenia are sometimes used interchangeably."

Analyses of seventeen placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drug-treated patients was about 4.5% compared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (e.g., heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (e.g., pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic (s) of the patients is not clear. Prochlorperazine maleate is not approved for the treatment of patients with dementia-related psychosis (see WARNINGS )."

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

Patient information: A handout on treating hyperthyroidism, written by the authors of this article. The proper treatment of hyperthyroidism depends on recognition of the signs and symptoms of the disease and determination of the etiology. The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves’ disease. Other common causes include thyroiditis, toxic multinodular goiter, toxic adenomas, and side effects of certain medications. The diagnostic workup begins with a thyroid-stimulating hormone level test. When test results are uncertain, measuring radionuclide uptake helps distinguish among possible causes. When thyroiditis is the cause, symptomatic treatment usually is sufficient because the associated hyperthyroidism is transient."

Received 24 December 2003. Accepted 8 March 2004. Next Section Abstract Drug therapy plays a significant role in causing neutropenia. The neutropenia may be immune mediated or due to direct inhibition of the bone marrow precursors. Recently, due to wide use of chemotherapy, febrile neutropenia has become a common and devastating problem. Neutropenia predisposes to many bacterial and fungal infections with organisms including Gram negative bacilli such as E. coli, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas; Gram positive organisms such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus viridans, and Enterococcus species; and fungi, like Candida and Aspergillus. In addition to the customary supportive care for neutropenic patients, therapy with recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (r G-CSF) (filgrastim) has been shown to be beneficial. Filgrastim was a significant advance in the management of drug induced neutropenia in the past decade, but therapy with pegfilgrastim (a pegylated, long-acting form of filgrastim) ushers in the current decade. Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) is administered as a single sc injection once per chemotherapy cycle."

"text": "Discussion Among the 20 cases of methimazole-induced cholestasis previously reported, 18 occurred in women ( Table 1 and Table 2 ). This finding most likely reflects the predominance of hyperthyroidism in the female sex. Most cases of hyperthyroidism were due to Graves disease, but some were due to toxic nodular goiter. [ 4, 5, 10, 14] The most common symptoms were jaundice (18 cases), followed by itching (10 cases), dark discoloration of urine (7 cases), clay-colored stools (6 cases), fever (3 cases), and generalized weakness (2 cases). Uncommon symptoms were abdominal pain (1 case), diarrhea (4 cases), and bleeding manifestations (8 cases). Abdominal examination, including the liver, was either unremarkable or minimally tender. A latent period between drug exposure and the development of jaundice ranged from 2 days to 3 months ( Table 1 and Table 2 ). Abdominal imaging studies, whether invasive [ 11, 17] or noninvasive [ 11, 14] as in the present case, did not reveal any evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary obstruction. In the case reported by Schwab et al, [ 14] however, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) showed rarefaction of the intrahepatic ducts, as seen in primary sclerosing cholangitis. These pathologic changes were reversible 3 months after methimazole therapy was stopped. ["

"text": "Agranulocytosis Symptoms Types and causes Risk factors Diagnosis Treatment Outlook Prevention What is agranulocytosis? Agranulocytosis is a rare condition in which your bone marrow doesn’t make enough of a certain type of white cell, most often neutrophils. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that your body needs to fight off infections. They make up the largest percentage of white blood cells in your body. Neutrophils are a critical part of your body’s immune system. They’re often the first immune cells to arrive at the site of infection. They consume and destroy harmful invaders like bacteria. In agranulocytosis, the low level of neutrophils means that even minor infections can progress into serious ones. Weak microbes or germs that usually cause no harm suddenly can evade the body’s defenses to attack your body. Symptoms What are the symptoms of agranulocytosis?"

Analyses of seventeen placebo-controlled trials (modal duration of 10 weeks), largely in patients taking atypical antipsychotic drugs, revealed a risk of death in drug-treated patients of between 1.6 to 1.7 times the risk of death in placebo-treated patients. Over the course of a typical 10-week controlled trial, the rate of death in drugtreated patients was about 4.5%, com- pared to a rate of about 2.6% in the placebo group. Although the causes of death were varied, most of the deaths appeared to be either cardiovascular (e.g., heart failure, sudden death) or infectious (e.g., pneumonia) in nature. Observational studies suggest that, similar to atypical antipsychotic drugs, treatment with conventional antipsychotic drugs may increase mortality. The extent to which the findings of increased mortality in observational studies may be attributed to the antipsychotic drug as opposed to some characteristic (s ) of the patients is not clear.

Chemical Structure: Molecular Formula: C 18 H 14 N 4 O 5 SSlideshow What Are Biosimilars? Top Facts You May Not Know Azulfidine - Clinical Pharmacology Pharmacodynamics The mode of action of sulfasalazine (SSZ) or its metabolites, 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and sulfapyridine (SP), is still under investigation, but may be related to the anti-inflammatory and/or immunomodulatory properties that have been observed in animal and in vitro models, to its affinity for connective tissue, and/or to the relatively high concentration it reaches in serous fluids, the liver and intestinal walls, as demonstrated in autoradiographic studies in animals. In ulcerative colitis, clinical studies utilizing rectal administration of SSZ, SP, and 5-ASA have indicated that the major therapeutic action may reside in the 5-ASA moiety. Pharmacokinetics In vivo studies have indicated that the absolute bioavailability of orally administered SSZ is less than 15% for parent drug. In the intestine, SSZ is metabolized by intestinal bacteria to SP and 5-ASA. Of the two species, SP is relatively well absorbed from the intestine and highly metabolized, while 5-ASA is much less well absorbed. Absorption Following oral administration of 1 g of SSZ to 9 healthy males, less than 15% of a dose of SSZ is absorbed as parent drug."

"text": "\"Agranulocytosis, Acquired Synonyms of Agranulocytosis, Acquired Agranulocytic Angina Granulocytopenia, Primary Neutropenia, Malignant General Discussion Acquired agranulocytosis is a rare, drug-induced blood disorder that is characterized by a severe reduction in the number of white blood cells (granulocytes) in the circulating blood. The name granulocyte refers to grain-like bodies within the cell. Granulocytes include basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils. Acquired agranulocytosis may be caused by a variety of drugs. However, among the drugs to which a patient may be sensitive are several used in the treatment of cancer (cancer chemotherapeutic agents) and others used as antipsychotic medications (e.g., clozapine). The symptoms of this disorder come about as the result of interference in the production of granulocytes in the bone marrow. People with acquired agranulocytosis are susceptible to a variety of bacterial infections, usually caused by otherwise benign bacteria found in the body. Not infrequently, painful ulcers also develop in mucous membranes that line the mouth and/or the gastrointestinal tract. Signs & Symptoms The first symptoms of acquired agranulocytosis are usually those associated with a bacterial infection such as general weakness, chills, fever, and/or extreme exhaustion. Symptoms that are associated with rapidly falling white blood cell levels (granulocytopenia) may include the development of infected ulcers in the mucous membranes that line the mouth, throat, and/or intestinal tract."

They are WBCs (white blood cells) formed within the bone marrow to consume bacteria. Granulocytopenia or agranulocytosis is word used at times to give the Neutropenia definition as neutrophils sums up of about sixty percent of white blood cells and have pellets within the walls of the cell. Neutropenia definition mentions that it is a severe disorder since it turns the body defenseless to fungal and bacterial infections. Description of the Neutropenia Disease: The standard intensity of neutrophils in blood differs slightly by race and age. Children have lesser counts as compared to the adults, and Afro-Americans have lesser counts as compared to the Asian or Caucasians. The normal adult intensity is 1500 cells per mm3. The counts of Neutrophil are stated as follows: If the count is more than 1000 then there is normal defense against any infection. If the count is between 500-1000 then there is an increased threat of infection. If the count is 200-500 then there is great danger of rigorous infection."

Agranulocytosis Symptoms Agranulocytosis Causes Agranulocytosis Diagnosis Agranulocytosis Treatment Agranulocytosis Side Effects & Complications What is Agranulocytosis? It is otherwise known as granulopenia, granulocytopenia or agranulosis. It is sometimes interchanged with the medical term neutropenia. It is a medical condition or term, which is derived from a Greek word that means “without granulocyte”, that suggest a reduction in the production of granulocytes, which is a blood disorder, under this classification includes subtypes such as basophils, eosinophils and neutrophils. Granulocytes are actually a kind of WBC or white blood cells. When a person has or is experiencing Agranulocytosis, he or she is at great risk to acquire infection as well as mucosal ulceration. Without these cells, the body is unable to fight off the infection.

decreases in hemoglobin and hematocrit; and increases in eosinophil counts; cases of agranulocytosis, pancytopenia, and thrombocytopenia reported in postmarketing setting; a complete blood count is recommended in patients experiencing significant weakness, pyrexia, recurrent infections, or coagulation disorders Increases in eosinophil counts observed Monitor patients 1 month to <4 years of age for increases in diastolic blood pressure Seizure control during pregnancy: Physiological changes during pregnancy may gradually decrease therapeutic plasma concentrations, this is particularly pronounced during the 3rd trimester; closely monitor serum levels during pregnancy and through the postpartum period Agranulocytosis reported; in pediatric patients (4 to <16 years of age), statistically significant decreases in WBC and neutrophil counts were seen in patients treated with immediate-release levetiracetam; no patient was discontinued secondary to low WBC or neutrophil counts One percent of adult patients and 2% of pediatric patients (4 to 16 years of age) treated with immediate-release levetiracetam experienced psychotic symptoms (paranoia)Use caution in renal impairment; adjust dose; use immediate release formulation, instead of the extended release formulation, in patients with ESRD requiring hemodialysis Can cause anaphylaxis or angioedema after the first dose or at any time during treatment;

"text": "IRS Releases Final Issue Price Regulations with Significant Changes Gregg Jones (Co-Author) December 13, 2016On December 9, 2016, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) released final regulations regarding issue price for tax-exempt obligations (the “Final Regulations”) that will be effective for bonds sold on or after June 7, 2017. Summary of Current Law The Existing Regulations define issue price generally as the first price at which ten percent of the bonds of any maturity is sold to the public. The Existing Regulations further provide that the issue price of bonds for which a bona fide public offering is made may be determined as of the sale date based on reasonable expectations regarding the initial public offering price. Most bond counsel now interpret this rule to permit issuers to determine the issue price of any maturity of bonds for which at least 10% was not sold to the public based on a certificate of the underwriters regarding their reasonable expectations on the sale date. Summary of Final Regulations The Final Regulations provide three options for determining issue price: the general actual facts rule, a special reasonable expectations rule, and a special rule for competitive sales. Underwriters will be required to provide certain certifications in order to fall under the special reasonable expectations rule and special rule for competitive sales. An issuer may use its discretion to select among the rules and may select a different rule for different maturities of the same issue, but must identify the rules selected in its books and records on or before the issue date of the bonds.1. General Rule (Actual Facts Test)A. Public Offerings The Final Regulations provide that generally the issue price of bonds issued for money is the first price at which a substantial amount (ten percent) of the bonds is sold to the public. B. Private Placements For a bond issued for money in a private placement to a single buyer that is not an underwriter or a related party to an underwriter, the issue price of the bond is the price paid by that buyer.2. Special Reasonable Expectations Rule (Hold-the-Offering Price Rule)In addition to the general rule, an issuer may treat the initial offering price to the public as the issue price of the bonds if: A. The underwriters offered the bonds to the public at a specified initial offering price on or before the sale date, and the lead underwriter in the underwriting syndicate or selling group (or, if applicable, the sole underwriter) provides, on or before the issue date, a certification to that effect to the issuer, together with reasonable supporting documentation for that certification, such as a copy of the pricing wire or equivalent communication; and B. Each underwriter agrees in writing that it will neither offer nor sell the bonds to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of (1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date, or (2) the date on which the underwriters have sold at least 10% of the bonds of that maturity to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public of that maturity."

"text": "\"Home > Second Quarter 2013 > Loan Participations: Lessons Learned During a Period of Economic Malaise Print Article Loan Participations: Lessons Learned During a Period of Economic Malaise by Michael Poprik, Managing Examiner, Community and Regional Supervision, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond In the past, some community banks viewed loan participations as an effective way to diversify risk, supplement organic loan growth, leverage another lender’s expertise, or gain access to a market segment. However, these exposures also posed risks that may not have been apparent until it was too late. During the recent economic downturn, some banks experienced stress in their loan participation portfolios. As a result, many community banks reduced their exposure to loan participations and have since vowed to participate only in \"\"good deals\"\" going forward. The most common type of loan participation is an agreement that transfers a stated ownership interest in a loan to one or more banks or other entities. The lead bank typically retains a partial interest in the loan, holds all loan documentation in its own name, services the loan, and deals directly with the customer for the benefit of all participants. 1 Based on this structure, a participant may believe that the lead bank, not the participant, is responsible for the bulk of underwriting and credit risk management of the participation. Regulators, however, expect each participant to maintain a robust risk management program regardless of whether loan participations are purchased or sold. During the last period of precrisis economic growth, participants’ understanding and risk management of purchased loans often failed to meet these expectations, resulting in purchased loans that were not well understood or monitored. As community banks reenter the lending arena, some institutions are considering purchasing loan participations because local loan demand remains weak."

"text": "\"Risk Management Maneuvering through the quicksands of \"\"agreed value\"\"The term “agreed value” can be confusing to underwriters, claims persons and insureds alike By Donald S. Malecki, CPCUFrom the perspective of property insurance, at least, the term “agreed amount” could be defined as an agreement between the insured and insurer to suspend the coinsurance or penalty clause applicable to real property, personal property, business income coverages, or any combination thereof. From the perspective of property insurance, at least, the term “agreed amount” could be defined as an agreement between the insured and insurer to suspend the coinsurance or penalty clause applicable to real property, personal property, business income coverages, or any combination thereof. Of course, this definition would require refinement in light of its application being subject to certain insurer rules. While the genesis of this agreed amount or value concept is with marine insurance, it is uncertain when agreed amount or value was first introduced for use with property insurance. The concept of coinsurance first came into being around the beginning of the 1900s; agreed amount or value obviously followed sometime after that. When it was first introduced, agreed amount or value was added by endorsement to both property and time element coverages. Such an endorsement, for example, was available with the Special Multi-Peril (SMP) package program introduced officially in the early 1960s. Why this program did not automatically include agreed value, considering it was designed for “the better than average risk,” is not known. With the development of new property insurance programs, use of the agreed amount of value endorsement became unnecessary. An example is the Public and Institutional Property Program (PIP) of the late 1960s that automatically included the agreed amount or value provision."

The Commission has neither approved nor disapproved its contents. Beginning October 1, 2003, banks that buy and sell securities need to consider whether they are \"\"dealers\"\" under the federal securities laws. Dealer activity is not interpreted the same way under securities law and banking law. Banks need to be aware that \"\"dealer\"\" activity under the federal securities laws is not necessarily the same thing as \"\"dealer\"\" activity under banking law. For example, so-called \"\"riskless principal\"\" transactions are dealer activity for securities law purposes, even though they are agency activity for banking law purposes. Similarly, repurchase agreement transactions are treated as purchases and sales of securities for securities law purposes. Generally, these transactions would also be characterized for securities law purposes as transactions in the underlying security. Although this Staff Compliance Guide highlights some of the significant provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (\"\"Exchange Act\"\") and the Commission's rules, it is not comprehensive. We urge banks that need more information about particular exceptions and exemptions to consult the applicable law, including Section 3 (a) (5) of the Exchange Act and the rules cited below."

"text": "Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, April 8, 2016Wells Fargo Bank Agrees to Pay $1.2 Billion for Improper Mortgage Lending Practices Wells Fargo Bank Admits That It Certified that Loans Were Eligible for FHA Mortgage Insurance When They Were Not, and That It Did Not Disclose Thousands of Faulty Mortgage Loans to HUDThe Department of Justice announced today that the United States has settled civil mortgage fraud claims against Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. (Wells Fargo) and Wells Fargo executive Kurt Lofrano, stemming from Wells Fargo’s participation in the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Direct Endorsement Lender Program. In the settlement, Wells Fargo agreed to pay $1.2 billion and admitted, acknowledged and accepted responsibility for, among other things, certifying to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), during the period from May 2001 through December 2008, that certain residential home mortgage loans were eligible for FHA insurance when in fact they were not, resulting in the Government having to pay FHA insurance claims when some of those loans defaulted. The agreement resolves the United States’ civil claims in its lawsuit in the Southern District of New York, as well as an investigation conducted by the U. S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York regarding Wells Fargo’s FHA origination and underwriting practices subsequent to the claims in its lawsuit and an investigation conducted by the U. S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California into whether American Mortgage Network, LLC (AMNET), a mortgage lender acquired by Wells Fargo in 2009, falsely certified and submitted ineligible residential mortgage loans for FHA insurance. The settlement was approved today by U. S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman for the Southern District of New York. “This settlement is another step in the Department of Justice’s continuing efforts to hold accountable FHA approved lenders that unlawfully submitted false claims at the expense of American homeowners and taxpayers,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “ In addition to today’s resolution with Wells Fargo, the department has pursued similar misconduct by numerous other lenders, returning more than $4 billion to the FHA fund and the Treasury and filing suit where appropriate. We remain committed to protecting the public fisc from all who seek to abuse it, whether they do business on Wall Street or Main Street. ”“This Administration remains committed to holding lenders accountable for their lending practices,” said Secretary Julián Castro for HUD. “ The $1.2 billion settlement with Wells Fargo is the largest recovery for loan origination violations in FHA’s history. Yet, this monetary figure can never truly make up for the countless families that lost homes as a result of poor lending practices."

Please improve this article by removing excessive or inappropriate external links, and converting useful links where appropriate into footnote references. ( January 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Sustainable forest management is the management of forests according to the principles of sustainable development. Sustainable forest management has to keep the balance between three main pillars: ecological, economic and socio-cultural. Successfully achieving sustainable forest management will provide integrated benefits to all, ranging from safeguarding local livelihoods to protecting the biodiversity and ecosystems provided by forests, reducing rural poverty and mitigating some of the effects of climate change. [ 1]The \"\" Forest Principles \"\" adopted at The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 captured the general international understanding of sustainable forest management at that time. A number of sets of criteria and indicators have since been developed to evaluate the achievement of SFM at the global, regional, country and management unit level. These were all attempts to codify and provide for independent assessment of the degree to which the broader objectives of sustainable forest management are being achieved in practice. In 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Non-Legally Binding Instrument on All Types of Forests. The instrument was the first of its kind, and reflected the strong international commitment to promote implementation of sustainable forest management through a new approach that brings all stakeholders together.

"text": "Article Figures & Data Info & Metrics PDF© 2003 American Society of Plant Biologists On May 20, 1999, Nature published a brief report on an experiment performed by researchers at Cornell University that indicated that pollen from genetically modified (GM) Bt corn ( Zea mays) could kill the larvae of monarch butterflies ( Danaus plexippus ). In laboratory tests, caterpillars fed milkweed ( Asclepias curassavica) leaves dusted with pollen from a Bt corn hybrid showed retarded growth and increased mortality. “ These results,” the authors stated, “have potentially profound implications for the conservation of monarch butterflies” ( Losey et al., 1999 ). In a press release announcing the publication in Nature, the principal investigator on the Cornell study, John Losey, had expressed due caution: “Pollen from Bt -corn could represent a serious risk to populations of monarchs and other butterflies, but we can't predict how serious the risk is until we have a lot more data. And we can't forget that Bt-corn and other transgenic crops have a huge potential for reducing pesticide use and increasing yields. This study is just the first step, we need to do more research and then objectively weigh the risks versus the benefits of this new technology” ( Cornell News, 1999 ). Such caution was wasted on Greenpeace International. The day the findings of the Cornell study were published it already demanded that authorities in the United States, Argentina, Canada, and the European Union take immediate action and prohibit the growing of genetically engineered maize crops. The environmentalist nongovernmental organization (NGO) reiterated its earlier call for a ban on all releases of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)."

Share What's at Stake Our food system is failing us—but science can help transform it. The U. S. government spends billions of dollars each year to subsidize crops used to produce processed foods and sugary drinks—the same foods the USDA’s nutritional guidelines tell us to eat less of. This policy failure is contributing to a massive and costly public health crisis, as rates of chronic, diet-related diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease have shot up—even, increasingly, among children. And the same policies that encourage unhealthy food production also support an outdated, unsustainable system of industrial agriculture, which has damaging impacts on soil, air, water, human health, and rural economies. There’s a better way. Smart, science-based food and farm policies can increase every American’s access to fresh fruits and vegetables, saving thousands of lives and billions of health care dollars in the process. And by encouraging farmers to grow a diverse mix of foods using modern, sustainable methods, healthy food policies will also help keep U. S. agriculture productive for the long term. With powerful interests defending current policies, transforming our food system in a healthier direction will not be easy."

"text": "\"What is sustainable agriculture? The goal of sustainable agriculture is to meet society’s food and textile needs in the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Practitioners of sustainable agriculture seek to integrate three main objectives into their work: a healthy environment, economic profitability, and social and economic equity. Every person involved in the food system—growers, food processors, distributors, retailers, consumers, and waste managers—can play a role in ensuring a sustainable agricultural system. There are many practices commonly used by people working in sustainable agriculture and sustainable food systems. Growers may use methods to promote soil health, minimize water use, and lower pollution levels on the farm. Consumers and retailers concerned with sustainability can look for “ values-based ” foods that are grown using methods promoting farmworker wellbeing, that are environmentally friendly, or that strengthen the local economy. And researchers in sustainable agriculture often cross disciplinary lines with their work: combining biology, economics, engineering, chemistry, community development, and many others. However, sustainable agriculture is more than a collection of practices. It is also process of negotiation: a push and pull between the sometimes competing interests of an individual farmer or of people in a community as they work to solve complex problems about how we grow our food and fiber."

Abstract Desertification, a phenomenon referring to land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid regions as a result of climatic variations and human activities, is considered as one of the most severe environmental and socio-economic problems of recent times. The principal aim of this study was to explore the impacts of desertification, degradation and drought on both the natural resources and man's livelihood in the Sudan and to suggest appropriate forest resource management interventions. The study was based on a fact finding tour in the Sudan and data collection on drought trends as reflected in rainfall trends in the study area, and on trends concerning the productivity of natural resources. Information was also compiled from existing records on rainfall, forest land cover, forest stocking, rangelands and carrying capacity and on agricultural productivity and population trends. Results showed that in rain-fed agricultural zones in the Sudan, deep ploughing and leveling of the surface soil caused an increase in its susceptibility to wind erosion, which, in turn, has led to a severe decline in its fertility and, in some places, the formation of sand dunes. The implications of these trends on the natural resource base include environmental degradation, food insecurity and aggravation of income inequalities among the Sudanese producers. The study has suggested Agroforestry technology as a potential solution to this continued problem of declining rural agricultural production in the Sudan."

Specific criteria, e.g. an unaltered agricultural setting, and offers closely linked to farming, distinguish authentic agritourism from other types of rural tourism not necessarily linked to effective agricultural production activities, here called countryside tourism. Based on analyses of binding and non-binding regulations, this article provides evidence of inconsistencies in the typologies of agritourism, which were recently devised in the literature to improve practical knowledge about authentic agritourism and promote it unambiguously. Criteria related to workload, accommodation, income, and the modes through which farmers and guests interact, are decisive factors in determining the complementarity of agricultural and touristic activities. This study advances the understanding of the meaning of authentic agritourism by presenting key provider and demand characteristics. Previous article Next article Keywords Agritourism Farm tourism Countryside tourism Rural tourism Policies Authenticity Agriculture Typology1. Introduction Agritourism offers farmers the possibility of diversifying and generating additional income through touristic on-farm activities to help balance the continuously decreasing income from agricultural activities ( Barbieri, Mahoney, & Butler, 2008; Barbieri & Mshenga, 2008; Ilbery, Bowler, Clark, Crockett, & Shaw, 1998 ). This enables farmers to stay on their farms and maintain cultivation of the land by increasing their operational income without altering the dominant agricultural character. The more general understanding of agritourism is that agritouristic activities should support and promote agricultural resources, traditions, activities and culture. From an agro-economic theory point of view, the development of agritourism is linked to internal and external push-and-pull factors within the framework of agro-structural change and rural area development."

Abstract Greenspace research has been driven by an emerging interest in the impact that biodiversity and ecosystem function has on life in urban areas. Studies from multiple disciplines across the life, physical and social sciences investigate the interactions with or within greenspace, creating a wide range of potentially related, but disparate findings. In order to understand whether these unconnected findings might be integrated, it is important to be able to make comparisons and build meta-analyses. In a review of journal articles about greenspace, we found that less than half of the 125 journal articles reviewed defined what greenspace was in their study; although many articles implied a definition. In those that provided a definition, we identified two overarching interpretations of greenspace using six different definition types. Perhaps arising from how the term has been lexicalized, this suggests that researchers do not have the same understanding of greenspace and limits the ability of researchers to draw meaning from multiple contexts or create syntheses. Rather than suggest a single, prescriptive understanding of greenspace, we propose that researchers construct a definition of greenspace for the context of their research that utilises both qualitative and quantitative aspects.

"text": "Agriculture and the environment: changing pressures, solutions and trade-offs12.1 Introduction Agriculture places a serious burden on the environment in the process of providing humanity with food and fibres. It is the largest consumer of water and the main source of nitrate pollution of groundwater and surface water, as well as the principal source of ammonia pollution. It is a major contributor to the phosphate pollution of waterways (OECD, 2001a) and to the release of the powerful greenhouse gases (GHGs) methane and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere (IPCC, 2001a). Increasingly, however, it is recognized that agriculture and forestry can also have positive externalities such as the provision of environmental services and amenities, for example through water storage and purification, carbon sequestration and the maintenance of rural landscapes. Moreover, research-driven intensification is saving vast areas of natural forest and grassland, which would have been developed in the absence of higher crop, meat and milk yields. But conversely, intensification has contributed to the air and water pollution mentioned above (Nelson and Mareida, 2001; Mareida and Pingali, 2001), and in some instances reduced productivity growth because of soil and water degradation (Murgai, Ali and Byerlee, 2001). Quantification of the agro-environmental impacts is not an exact science. First, there is considerable debate on their spatial extent, and on the magnitude of the current and long-term biophysical effects and economic consequences of the impact of agriculture. Much of the literature is concerned with land degradation, especially water erosion. Moreover, most of the assessments are of physical damage, although a few attempts have been made to estimate the economic costs of degradation as a proportion of agricultural GDP."

Share What's at Stake Our food system is failing us—but science can help transform it. The U. S. government spends billions of dollars each year to subsidize crops used to produce processed foods and sugary drinks—the same foods the USDA’s nutritional guidelines tell us to eat less of. This policy failure is contributing to a massive and costly public health crisis, as rates of chronic, diet-related diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease have shot up—even, increasingly, among children. And the same policies that encourage unhealthy food production also support an outdated, unsustainable system of industrial agriculture, which has damaging impacts on soil, air, water, human health, and rural economies. There’s a better way. Smart, science-based food and farm policies can increase every American’s access to fresh fruits and vegetables, saving thousands of lives and billions of health care dollars in the process. And by encouraging farmers to grow a diverse mix of foods using modern, sustainable methods, healthy food policies will also help keep U. S. agriculture productive for the long term. With powerful interests defending current policies, transforming our food system in a healthier direction will not be easy."

"text": "2011•09•20Raquel Moreno-Peñaranda Photo: ekkun Sometimes regarded as a sign of developmental failure, a nuisance or simply nonsense, the truth is that urban agriculture has experienced a renaissance in recent years. Momentum has built around agglomerating social movements concerned with providing community access to fresh, locally grown foods. Urban planners are seeking innovative solutions to the social and environmental challenges imposed by an urbanizing world, and scientists are looking to urban ecosystems as providers of vital ecosystems services — such as food, heat-island control and water management — that are able to boost local well-being and reduce the ecological footprints of cities. Japan is quite a unique case when it comes to urban agriculture. Despite being a highly industrialized country, the presence of agricultural land use is a common feature on the urban landscape of cities across the nation. It might come as a surprise that almost one-third of all agricultural output in the country is, in fact, generated by urban agriculture. Likewise, urban farmers account for 25% of farming households in Japan. Furthermore, Japanese urban agriculture is more productive than its rural counterparts. According to 2010 data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), urban fields are the most productive kind of agriculture in terms of economic value of production per area — 3% more productive than the national average. In terms of revenue per farmer, urban agriculture is two times more profitable than inter-mountainous agriculture and around 10% more so than agriculture in rural plain areas."

"text": "\"In the agricultural context, diversification can be regarded as the re-allocation of some of a farm's productive resources, such as land, capital, farm equipment and pices to other farmers and, particularly in richer countries, non-farming activities such as restaurants and shops. Factors leading to decisions to diversify are many, but include; reducing risk, responding to changing consumer demands or changing government policy, responding to external shocks and, more recently, as a consequence of climate change. Contents [ hide ]1 Definitions of diversification2 Drivers of diversification2.1 Opportunities2.2 Threats3 Opportunities for diversification4 Measures of diversification5 See also6 References7 External links8 Further reading Definitions of diversification [ edit]Agricultural diversification involves movement of resources from low value commodity mix to high value commodity mix. It focuses mainly on horticulture, dairy, poultry and fisheries sector. While most definitions of diversification in developing countries do work on the assumption that diversification primarily involves a substitution of one crop or other agricultural product for another, or an increase in the number of enterprises, or activities, carried out by a particular farm, the definition used in developed countries sometimes relates more to the development of activities on the farm that do not involve agricultural production. For example, one section of the British Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) defines diversification as “the entrepreneurial use of farm resources for a non-agricultural purpose for commercial gain”. Using this definition DEFRA found that 56% of UK farms had diversified in 2003. The great majority of diversification activities simply involved the renting out of farm buildings for non-farming use, but 9% of farms had become involved with processing or retailing, 3% with provision of tourist accommodation or catering, and 7% with sport or recreational activities. [ 1] Others adopt a broader definition, which may include development of new marketing opportunities. [ 2]In developing countries such as India, which has been one of the leaders in promoting diversification, the concept is applied both to individual farmers and to different regions, with government programmes being aimed at promoting widespread diversification."

"text": "Instructor: Margaret Cunningham Margaret has taught many Biology and Environmental Science courses and has Master's degrees in Environmental Science and Education. Over the years many significant agricultural changes have occurred in order to supply enough food for the growing human population. In this lesson, we will explore the Green Revolution and investigate the benefits and issues associated with this period. What Is the Green Revolution? Throughout history there have been many revolutions that have occurred and changed human lives, such as the American Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. In the mid- and late-20th century a revolution occurred that dramatically changed the field of agriculture, and this revolution was known as the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution was a period when the productivity of global agriculture increased drastically as a result of new advances. During this time period, new chemical fertilizers and synthetic herbicides and pesticides were created. The chemical fertilizers made it possible to supply crops with extra nutrients and, therefore, increase yield. The newly developed synthetic herbicides and pesticides controlled weeds, deterred or kill insects, and prevented diseases, which also resulted in higher productivity."

"text": "\"DLCD Farmland Protection Program Farmland Protection Program Farmland Protection Program For more than three decades, Oregon has maintained a strong policy to protect farmland. The policy was adopted by the state legislature in 1973. It calls for the “preservation of a maximum amount of the limited supply of agricultural land” ( Oregon Revised Statutes 215.243 ). The main tool for carrying out that policy is the Statewide Planning Program. Oregon’s Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) sets standards for such planning. The cities and counties then apply them through local comprehensive plans and land-use ordinances. Under this system, all counties in Oregon have adopted planning and zoning measures to protect agricultural land. This summary below answers some key questions about Oregon’s farmland and agricultural planning and zoning. Farmland Facts How does Oregon’s Statewide Planning Program protect agricultural land? The program calls for counties to: Inventory agricultural land Designate it in the comprehensive plan Adopt policies to preserve it Zone it Exclusive Farm Use (EFU)Oregon’s land use program places major emphasis on maintaining commercial agriculture."

Arable land (from Latin arabilis, \"\"able to be plowed \"\") is, according to one definition, land capable of being ploughed and used to grow crops. [ 1] In Britain, it was traditionally contrasted with pasturable land such as heaths which could be used for sheep-rearing but not farmland. A quite different kind of definition is used by various agencies concerned with agriculture. In providing statistics on arable land, the FAO and the World Bank [2] use the definition offered in the glossary accompanying FAOSTAT: \"\"Arable land is the land under temporary agricultural crops (multiple-cropped areas are counted only once), temporary meadows for mowing or pasture, land under market and kitchen gardens and land temporarily fallow (less than five years). The abandoned land resulting from shifting cultivation is not included in this category. Data for ‘Arable land’ are not meant to indicate the amount of land that is potentially cultivable.\"\" [ 3] A briefer definition appearing in the Eurostat glossary similarly refers to actual, rather than potential use: \"\"land worked (ploughed or tilled) regularly, generally under a system of crop rotation.\"\" [ 4]Contents [ hide ]1 Arable land area2 Arable land (hectares per person)3 Non-arable land4 See also5 References6 External links Arable land area [ edit]World map of arable land, percentage by country (2006) [5]According to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations the world's Arable land amounted to 1,407 M ha, out of a total 4,924 M ha land used for agriculture, as for year 2013.

The prefix agro- refers to agriculture. Bringing ecological principles to bear in agroecosystems can suggest novel management approaches that would not otherwise be considered. The term is often used imprecisely and may refer to \"\"a science, a movement, [or] a practice\"\". [ 1] Agroecologists study a variety of agroecosystems, and the field of agroecology is not associated with any one particular method of farming, whether it be organic, integrated, or conventional; intensive or extensive, although it has much more in common with some of the before mentioned farming systems.

[ 3] Agroecology proposes a context- or site-specific manner of studying agroecosystems, and as such, it recognizes that there is no universal formula or recipe for the success and maximum well-being of an agroecosystem. Thus, agroecology is not defined by certain management practices, such as the use of natural enemies in place of insecticides, or polyculture in place of monoculture. Instead, agroecologists may study questions related to the four system properties of agroecosystems: productivity, stability, sustainability and equitability. [ 4] As opposed to disciplines that are concerned with only one or some of these properties, agroecologists see all four properties as interconnected and integral to the success of an agroecosystem."

"text": "Start Printed Page 46859AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA. ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: In response to recent amendments to the Lacey Act, we are proposing to establish definitions for the terms “common cultivar” and “common food crop.” The amendments to the Act expanded its protections to a broader range of plant species, extended its reach to encompass products, including timber, that derive from illegally harvested plants, and require that importers submit a declaration at the time of importation for certain plants and plant products. Common cultivars and common food crops are among the categorical exemptions to the provisions of the Act. The Act does not define the terms “common cultivar” and “common food crop” but instead gives authority to the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the U. S. Department of the Interior to define these terms by regulation. Our proposed definitions would specify which plants and plant products will be subject to the provisions of the Act, including the declaration requirement.

"text": "\"Types of Drought Research in the early 1980s uncovered more than 150 published definitions of drought. The definitions reflect differences in regions, needs, and disciplinary approaches. Wilhite and Glantz 1 categorized the definitions in terms of four basic approaches to measuring drought: meteorological, hydrological, agricultural, and socioeconomic. The first three approaches deal with ways to measure drought as a physical phenomenon. The last deals with drought in terms of supply and demand, tracking the effects of water shortfall as it ripples through socioeconomic systems. Meteorological Drought Sequence of drought occurrence and impacts for commonly accepted drought types. All droughts originate from a deficiency of precipitation or meteorological drought but other types of drought and impacts cascade from this deficiency. ( Source: National Drought Mitigation Center, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, U. S. A. )Meteorological drought is defined usually on the basis of the degree of dryness (in comparison to some “normal” or average amount) and the duration of the dry period. Definitions of meteorological drought must be considered as region specific since the atmospheric conditions that result in deficiencies of precipitation are highly variable from region to region. For example, some definitions of meteorological drought identify periods of drought on the basis of the number of days with precipitation less than some specified threshold."

A: Quick Answer Sedentary farming is a method of agriculture in which the same land is farmed every year. This is in contrast to nomadic farming, in which new areas are farmed as the soil becomes less nutrient-rich from extensive planting, and shifting cultivation, which uses controlled forest fires to produce arable land.

Credit: Matteo Colombo Moment Getty Images Full Answer Sedentary farming was developed independently in Eurasia and the Americas. On the Eurasian continent, sedentary agriculture was practiced by 10,000 B. C. E. America was first populated in 20,000 B. C. E., and the first people in America were foragers and hunters. By 7,000 B. C. E., agriculture was also practiced in South America. The development of sedentary farming on both continents allowed civilization to develop."

Agricultural products range from foods we eat to fuel for cars Share Flip Pin Email•••By Jennifer Chait Updated February 26, 2018An agricultural product is a product you get when you cultivate plants or animals to sustain or enhance human life. Food is the most widely produced agricultural product, and, in fact, the global per-person food supply (as measured in calories per person) has risen more than 20 percent in the past 50 years. But people also use a vast array of agricultural products every day for other reasons, ranging from the clothes we wear to the paper we write on. We decorate with flowers often produced by agriculture and run our cars in part on ethanol produced by agriculture. We also use agricultural products to make plastics. As technology advances at breakneck speed, new uses for agricultural products will continue to expand. Examples of Agricultural Products Agricultural products fall into one of four groups: foods, fuels, fibers, and raw materials. Here are examples of each: Food.

[ 1] [2] This contrasts with traditional agriculture, in which the inputs per unit land are lower. The term \"\"intensive\"\" involves various meanings, some of which refer to organic farming methods (such as biointensive agriculture and French intensive gardening ), and others that refer to nonorganic and industrial methods. Intensive animal farming involves either large numbers of animals raised on limited land, usually concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), often referred to as factory farms, [1] [3] [4] or managed intensive rotational grazing (MIRG), which has both organic and non-organic types. Both increase the yields of food and fiber per acre as compared to traditional animal husbandry.

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. Mom Junction has just the list of Hispanic girl names for you to give your little angel a charming name that will define her delicate self well! Check out our list below."

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.

It has become a necessity—capable enough to provide illumination even in the darkest of nights, warmth in the coldest of winters and an essential component to turn animal flesh into something that is pleasing to the human palate. 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.

Inca Trail trek permits are now on sale so book now to avoid disappointment. Trek permits are already sold out from mid-March right up until the end of September. For more details see our Inca Trail Trek Permit Status page The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu The appeal of this particular trek is the stunning combination of Inca ruins, magnificent mountains, exotic vegetation and extraordinary ecological variety. The trail goes over high passes with unforgettable views, through cloud forest, and finally into subtropical vegetation. Over 250 species of orchid have been counted in the Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, as well as numerous rare birds, animals, reptiles, including several species considered to be in danger of extinction. In order to complete the Inca Trail you need to have a reasonable level of fitness, age shouldn't be a barrier. The most important thing is to be well acclimatized to the altitude. The maximum height above sea level along the way is 4200m so we recommend anyone coming from the coast to spend at least 2 days in Cusco before attempting the trek. This period is ideal for visiting the city of Cusco, the nearby ruins of Sacsayhuaman and the beautiful Sacred Valley of the Incas. [ ..."

You can take a train (there are three categories), which takes you to Aguas Calientes (this is the name of the town) is the best way (it takes about 3 hours). Then from here take a bus to Machu Picchu. - Cusco - Ollantaytambo (round trip) in Bus (U.

"text": "\"14 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Peru Written by Lana Law Peru is a country of history, culture, beauty, and adventure, with a full spectrum of possibilities for travelers. The ancient Inca City of Machu Picchu is one of the highlights of any trip to South America, but there is much more to discover throughout Peru. Visitors can take a boat trip on the highest navigable lake in the world, look out over one of the deepest canyons in the world, try their luck sandboarding in the dunes, hike in the Andes, fish for piranha in the Amazon, explore the mysteries of the Nazca lines, walk through ancient ruins in the Sacred Valley, or experience modern Peru while wandering the streets of Lima. The diversity of the landscape, the people, and the experiences here make Peru one of the most unique destinations on the continent.1 Machu Picchu Machu Picchu | Photo Copyright: Lana Law Share: Perched high upon a ridge, 300 meters above the Urubamba River, the majestic Inca City of Machu Picchu is one of the most dramatic settings of a ruined city anywhere in the world. Almost as impressive as the ruins themselves is the spectacular backdrop of steep, lush, and often cloud-shrouded mountains. Standing near the caretaker's hut, looking out over Machu Picchu, the jungle covered mountains, and the river far below, it is not hard to imagine why the Incas chose this place to build their city. Hiram Bingham came across Machu Picchu in 1911 and believed until his death that it was the \"\"Lost City of the Incas,\"\" first documented by Spanish soldiers in the 1500s. However, historians believe the real lost city of the Incas was at Espíritu Pampa, a ruin Bingham knew of but discounted as being insignificant. The journey is also part of the experience of visiting Machu Picchu, whether it's by hiking the Inca Trail or seeing the route by train. In either case, it's impossible not to be inspired by the scenery."

"text": "\"Machu Picchu Facts Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca site located on a ridge between the Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu mountains in Peru. It stands 7,970 feet (2,430 meters) above sea level on the eastern slope of the Andes and overlooks the Urubamba River hundreds of feet below. Machu Picchu means \"\"Old Peak\"\" in the indigenous language of Quechua. Most experts believe that Machu Picchu was constructed around 1400 AD as a royal estate for the Incan ruler Pachacútec Inca Yupanqui, the ninth ruler of the Inca. An empire builder, Pachacuti initiated a series of conquests that would eventually see the Inca grow into a South American realm that stretched from Ecuador to Chile. Machu Picchu was later abandoned during the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire in 1532. Over time it became famous as the legendary Lost City of the Inca. The Incas were superb craftsman and experts at using a building technique called ashlar in which blocks of quarried granite stone – some weighing as much as 50 tons - were so precisely cut as to fit together tightly without mortar. These incredible civil engineering techniques reduced the affects of frequent earthquakes. Machu Picchu's construction is especially amazing considering the Inca did not use draft animals, iron tools, or the wheel."

"text": "\"Access to Machu Picchu completely destroyed January 28th, 2010 10 Comments Machu Picchu looks set to be out of service for quite some time as the single rail link taking tourists to the ancient Inca citadel has been completely wiped out. Peru’s over-sold main tourist attraction is an example of hyping a single site in a single small area of Peru to concentrate revenue that now looks to be backfiring. See the amazing photos and videos of the destruction here. Get the latest news on the disaster here Heavy rains that trapped some two thousand foreign tourists in the town of Aguas Calientes have also caused one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the region in decades. Perhaps as big as the personal loss felt by the individuals affected is the economic loss now set to blight Cusco. Three days have passed since the town of Aguas Calientes was cut off from the rest of the Sacred Valley and airlifts are still occurring to get the increasingly desperate stranded tourists out of the town and back to Cusco. The town’s connection to the rest of the world is via a set of train tracks normally used to ferry tourist to and from the ancient Inca site of Machu Picchu in trains. Only now is the extent of damage to the railway being realized. American tourist Cole Gainer, 26, unwilling to wait any longer in Aguas Calientes, attempted to hike back along the route of the raging river. As supplies ran out and prices were hiked by local businesses to take advantage, many others decided to make the journey."

Many are in attractive locations and are scenic (e.g. the geysers of Yellowstone National Park, Kamchatka, New Zealand, etc.) or celebrated (e.g. the original town of Spa), hence are attractions or even destinations in their own right. However, for the hot-spring aficionado, the greatest pleasure comes not from just looking at the spring, but from getting into the water for its therapeutic powers, not to mention just because it feels good -- really good. This article will help travelers get the most out of their hot-spring experiences world-wide. Hot springs in Oku-Hida, Japan\"\"Developed\"\" versus \"\"wild\"\" hot springs, and what's a spa? [ edit]The term \"\"hot spring\"\" means different things to different people, and it's a good idea to know just what manner of hot spring you're bound for at a destination, because it may be something quite different from what you're expecting. In English the term is used more or less interchangeably for \"\"wild\"\" springs, where the water emerges directly from the ground into a natural catchment that can be used for bathing, and \"\"developed\"\" springs, which exploit the spring through construction of man-made artifacts such as pools and bath houses. \"\" Wild\"\" springs and \"\"developed\"\" springs can differ so much, and in so many ways, that the visitor expecting one and getting the other may not enjoy the experience very much."

The ruins are located about 13 degrees south of the equator and surrounded on three sides by a loop of the Urubamba River.

( the same time zone as Washington DC in the US but no Daylight Savings Time)STEP 1: How to get to Machu Picchu: International gateway - Lima International flights arrive in Lima, Peru, located on the Pacific coast. Many flights arrive late evening and because there are no flights to Cusco in the evening, travelers will spend 1 night in Lima. The area around the Lima airport is not pedestrian friendly and tourists who don't stay at the Wyndham Hotel located in the airport, should arrange transfers in advance, to hotels in Miraflores, about 45 min drive from the airport. STEP 2: How to get to Machu Picchu: Secondary gateway - Cusco From Lima, several airlines offer direct 1 hour/10 min flights to Cusco, which is 11,000 ft/3400 m above sea level. Most flights are scheduled in the morning & taper off by afternoon. It is not possible to fly to Cusco in the evening, and the return flights from Cusco to Lima end by early evening."

"text": "\"What is a \"\"100-year flood\"\"? A 100-year flood is a flood that has a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. A base flood may also be referred to as a 100-year storm and the area inundated during the base flood is sometimes called the 100-year floodplain. What does the \"\"100-year flood\"\" mean? The term \"\"100-year flood\"\" is misleading. It is not the flood that will occur once every 100 years. Rather, it is the flood elevation that has a 1- percent chance of being equaled or exceeded each year. Thus, the 100-year flood could occur more than once in a relatively short period of time. The 100-year flood, which is the standard used by most Federal and state agencies, is used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as the standard for floodplain management and to determine the need for flood insurance. A structure located within a special flood hazard area shown on an NFIP map has a 26 percent chance of suffering flood damage during the term of a 30-year mortgage."

"text": "\"Thomas Fisher 62 Jun 11, 2013Tesla Motors - Model S lithium-ion battery pack In his recent interview with Barron's, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk hung up on the reporter who was interviewing him. He said he had \"\"no interest in an article that debates what we consider to be an obvious point -- which is that there is a dramatic reduction in battery costs,\"\" then went on to tell the reporter, \"\"You clearly do not understand the business,\"\" before apologizing and ending the interview. The resulting Barron's story argued that Tesla's stock price was overvalued, because the lithium-ion cells used to power Tesla's vehicles cost a great deal. Reading the story, it becomes clear that the author believes Tesla has to spend $400 per kilowatt-hour to build the battery pack for its Model S electric luxury sport sedan. The figure is widely cited by journalists who write about Tesla-- The New York Times last year, for instance. This \"\"price\"\" may come from the $10,000 price difference between the 60-k Wh and 85-k Wh versions of the Model S, since $10,000 divided by 25 k Wh produces a per-k Wh figure of $400. Quick market test To test that notion, I contacted one wholesaler and offered to purchase a small number of the '18650' lithium-ion cells Tesla uses in its packs. That company offered to sell them to me at a price of roughly $350 per k Wh, including the attached circuit boards used to group battery cells into larger assemblies, which can retail for almost $4 each . Considering the small number of cells, and the free offer of attached (or unattached, my choice) circuit boards, it seems clear Tesla's price in great volume could be much lower. Nevertheless, the $400-per-k Wh \"\"price\"\" seems to have been widely accepted without further inquiry--perhaps because it is still much less than what competing automakers appear to be paying.2013 Tesla Model STesla: thousands of cells In contrast to every other automaker, which use specialized large format Li-Ion cells, Tesla's battery pack is made up of thousands of inexpensive commodity cells similar to those found in laptops."

Share Tweet Share Share Pin Copy Link Lead acid batteries are complicated things. Take some lead and sulfuric acid, stick them in a container together and you end up with a potential chemical reaction that can produce electricity. The question is, when you need to know how much electricity is able to be created with that chemical reaction, what is the standard rating, and how is it set? We have answered this question the complicated way on the Peukert's Law Tutorial, but here's a more basic look at determining what you need to know. Several years ago when you would go to buy a car, the little tag on the window of a coupe might have read 42 mpg. Of course everyone knew that the only way to make that car get 42 miles to the gallon was to drive at 25 miles per hour on a newly paved level track. So in 2008 when the EPA updated their standards, the ratings all dropped to much more realistic numbers that most light-footed people can achieve. Battery ratings are very similar."

"text": "May 9Reaching Beyond Our Grasp By Oswald Chambers Where there is no revelation [or prophetic vision], the people cast off restraint… — Proverbs 29:18There is a difference between holding on to a principle and having a vision. A principle does not come from moral inspiration, but a vision does. People who are totally consumed with idealistic principles rarely do anything. A person’s own idea of God and His attributes may actually be used to justify and rationalize his deliberate neglect of his duty. Jonah tried to excuse his disobedience by saying to God, “…I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm” ( Jonah 4:2 ). I too may have the right idea of God and His attributes, but that may be the very reason why I do not do my duty. But wherever there is vision, there is also a life of honesty and integrity, because the vision gives me the moral incentive. Our own idealistic principles may actually lull us into ruin. Examine yourself spiritually to see if you have vision, or only principles. Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?“Where there is no revelation [or prophetic vision]….”"

"text": "\"BU-303: Confusion with Voltages Explore why some battery packs pose odd voltages and how this affects the user. A battery is an electrochemical device that produces a voltage potential when placing metals of different affinities into an acid solution (electrolyte). The open circuit voltage (OCV) that develops as part of an electrochemical reaction varies with the metals and electrolyte used. Applying a charge or discharge places the battery into the closed circuit voltage (CCV) condition. Charging raises the voltage and discharging lowers it, simulating a rubber band effect. The voltage behavior under a load and charge is governed by the current flow and the internal battery resistance. A low resistance produces low fluctuation under load or charge; a high resistance causes the voltage to swing excessively. Charging and discharging agitates the battery; full voltage stabilization takes up to 24 hours. Temperature also plays a role; a cold temperature lowers the voltage and heat raises it. Manufacturers rate a battery by assigning a nominal voltage, and with a few exceptions, these voltages follow an agreed convention."

Here’s a question that actually comes up quite often: “what does Ah mean?” When talking about cordless power tool battery packs there are a number of important specifications to keep in mind, but it mainly comes down to voltage and capacity. Amperes Ah is an abbreviation for ampere-hour, or amp-hour. This the total amount of charge a battery can deliver in one hour. A power tool that continuously draws 1.0A of current will completely drain a 1.0 Ah battery pack in one hour (under ideal conditions). Obviously this means that a 2.0Ah battery pack can power the same tool longer than a 1.0Ah battery pack can, assuming the current flow remains at 1.0A and there are no other differences. So a 4.0Ah battery pack lasts twice as long as a 2.0Ah battery pack, right? Sometimes, yes."

"text": "\"BU-403: Charging Lead Acid Learn how to optimize charging conditions to extend service life. The lead acid battery uses the constant current constant voltage (CC/CV) charge method. A regulated current raises the terminal voltage until the upper charge voltage limit is reached, at which point the current drops due to saturation. The charge time is 12–16 hours and up to 36–48 hours for large stationary batteries. With higher charge currents and multi-stage charge methods, the charge time can be reduced to 8–10 hours; however, without full topping charge. Lead acid is sluggish and cannot be charged as quickly as other battery systems. ( See BU-202: New Lead Acid Systems . ) Lead acid batteries should be charged in three stages, which are [1] constant-current charge, [2] topping charge and [3] float charge. The constant-current charge applies the bulk of the charge and takes up roughly half of the required charge time; the topping charge continues at a lower charge current and provides saturation, and the float charge compensates for the loss caused by self-discharge. During the constant-current charge, the battery charges to about 70 percent in 5–8 hours; the remaining 30 percent is filled with the slower topping charge that lasts another 7–10 hours."

The NURSE enters from the house. NURSEAh! Would to Heaven the good ship Argo ne'er had sped its course to the Colchian land through the misty blue Symplegades, nor ever in the glens of Pelion the pine been felled to furnish with oars the chieftain's hands, who went to fetch the golden fleece for Pelias; for then would my own mistress Medea never have sailed to the turrets of Iolcos, her soul with love for Jason smitten, nor would she have beguiled the daughters of Pelias to slay their father and come to live here in the land of Corinth with her husband and children, where her exile found favour with the citizens to whose land she had come, and in all things of her own accord was she at one with Jason, the greatest safeguard this when wife and husband do agree; but now their love is all turned to hate, and tenderest ties are weak. For Jason hath betrayed his own children and my mistress dear for the love of a royal bride, for he hath wedded the daughter of Creon, lord of this land. While Medea, his hapless wife, thus scorned, appeals to the oaths he swore, recalls the strong pledge his right hand gave, and bids heaven be witness what requital she is finding from Jason. And here she lies fasting, yielding her body to her grief, wasting away in tears ever since she learnt that she was wronged by her husband, never lifting her eye nor raising her face from off the ground; and she lends as deaf an ear to her friend's warning as if she were a rock or ocean billow, save when she turns her snow-white neck aside and softly to herself bemoans her father dear, her country and her home, which she gave up to come hither with the man who now holds her in dishonour. She, poor lady, hath by sad experience learnt how good a thing it is never to quit one's native land."

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

Micathermic Technology A micathermic heater provides approximately 80 per cent radiant heat and 20 per cent convection. Unlike conventional filament heating, this technology uses a heating element that lies encased within several sheets of mica (a type of heat-conducting stone). The mica sheets heat up quickly and produce electromagnetic waves that radiate into the room, producing natural warmth in much the same way as sunlight. As heat rises, the warm air heats everything it touches and forces cooler air down towards the heater, where it is in turn warmed."

"text": "\"The Apache language by John C. Cremony The Apache Language | Its Remarkable Regularity and Copiousness | How Apaches are Named | Apache Beauties | Disinclination to tell their Apache Names From Life among the Apaches as observed by John C. Cremony, ca. 1862Elsewhere it has been stated that my vocabulary of the Apache language had been forwarded to the Smithsonian Institute through General Carleton, and that it had been handed to Professor George Gibbs for the purpsoe of being incorporated in his forthcoming work on Ethnology. As it was the only copy in my possession, I am compelled to rely solely on memory for the very unsatisfactory skeleton I am able to offer in this chapter. It will, however, serve to convince the reader of the superior intelligence of the Apache Indians as compared with nearly all other tribes of American Indians, while it places them at the head of races purely nomadic. Many of the African, Australian, North and South American tribes, and those who inhabit the Pacific Oceanica, together with several of Asia, cannot count beyond ten, but the Apaches count ten thousand with as much regularity as we do. They even make use of the decimal sequences. With us the number one has no correlative. It is unique in expression as well as in meaning, but when we come to two, we say two, twelve, twenty, two hundred; with the numberal three for a starter, we say thirteen, thirty, three hundred; and again, four, fourteen, forty, four hundred, and so on up to ten, when the process is repeated by referring to the same root numeral from which the higher number derives its name. In like manner the Apaches use a unique word to express one, and another to mention eleven; but all the rest are derived from the root name of the numbers between one and ten. This will be seen from [the following description of their numeral system:]One is called tash-ay-ay; two, nah-kee; three, kah-yay; four, tin-yay; five, asht-lay; six, host-kon-ay; seven, host-ee-day; eight, hah-pee; nine, en-gost-ay; ten, go-nay-nan-ay."

Following the use of diazepam in patients having continuous seizures and in the initial management of serial epilepsy a loading dose of phenytoin 10 - 15mg/kg should be injected slowly intravenously, at a rate not exceeding 50mg per minute in adults (this will require approximately 20 minutes in a 70kg patient). The loading dose should be followed by maintenance doses of 100mg orally or intravenously every 6 to 8 hours."

"text": "\"American Home Shield Lawsuit Alleges Improper Denials January 15, 2012, 8:00AM. By Heidi Turner Montgomery, AL Customers of home warranty companies, such as American Home Shield can take heart that some previous home warranty lawsuits have resulted in settlements. One American Home Shield lawsuit resulted in a settlement, although the company did not admit any wrongdoing or liability in the settlement. The settlement was the result of a class-action lawsuit filed by Laura and Steven Faught against American Home Shield on behalf of people in the US who purchased or were issued a home service contract from American Home Shield from July 24, 2001 through October 19, 2009. As part of the settlement, American Home Shield agreed to establish a review desk to consider claims from settlement class members whose claims were denied during the class period. The Faught lawsuit alleged that American Home Shield \"\"engaged in a pattern and practice of failing to fulfill its contractual obligations to its customers, including by declining generally to provide repair and replacement service to which its customers were entitled, and by improperly denying claims in the first year of customers' home service contracts for lack of maintenance\"\" (from the Notice of Class Action and Settlement; www.faughtclassaction.com ). Despite entering into a settlement, American Home Shield denied any wrongdoing or any liability. READ MORE BAD FAITH INSURANCE LEGAL NEWSNew Home Warranty Lawsuits and Horror Stories That denial of wrongdoing has not prevented a different lawsuit, also alleging American Home Shield failed to pay its customers' claims, from being filed. The lawsuit, filed by Bridgette and William Guadet, was filed on June 23, 2011, according to The Louisiana Record (06/30/11), and alleges American Home Shield denied claims made by class members under grounds of \"\"'lack of maintenance,' 'pre-existing condition,' or 'failure to clean,' despite not inspecting the appliances when policies are issued.\"\" Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges, American Home Shield denies claims because of minimal uncleanness, even if outside factors were the cause of the appliance's breakdown."

Here are a few you should think about adding to your team in Pokémon Black and White 2. By Audrey Drake One of the cornerstones of the Pokémon experience is team-building - searching the entire region for the six creatures you’re going to bring along with you on your journey to Victory Road. That’s why it’s really cool that Pokémon Black and White 2 boast the largest regional Pokédex to date, with almost 300 monsters to choose from spanning all five generations. But while variety is nice (it’s the spice of life and all that), it can also be a bit daunting narrowing the choices down to just six team members. So what’s an aspiring Pokémon Champion to do? Luckily, IGN has your back. Below you’ll find a selection of some pretty awesome pocket monsters you might run into on your journey through the new Unova region. Your personal taste and strategy will obviously play a huge factor in team selection - as does whether or not you plan to play competitively - but hopefully the guide below will give you a good starting point in picking the very best team for Black and White 2."

And I've been doing it a lot lately, thanks to the tower of salumi —the umbrella term for a vast realm of prepared Italian meats—that I've been collecting as I write and research this story. Every few minutes, I gingerly peel open a package and bury my nose in it, take a bite or two, type out a few notes on my laptop, and do my little dance. I've been dancing to salumi for as long as I can remember. Deeply savory, tantalizingly aromatic, often fatty and rich, salumi are a testament to the unstudied opulence of Italy's so-called peasant foods. They are, at turns, funky, fiery, delicate, bold, smoky, tangy, and sweet. And each salume (that's the singular for you) speaks to a unique collision of geography and tradition, a centuries-long history of human innovation. My only problem?"

That's not an easy thing to do.permalink embed save [–]ls_2012-1 points1 year ago But Pseudos were nerfed so much this season & I don't think Shota's Salamence was that well trained.

Israa is an Arabic word referring to Prophet Muhammad's miraculous night journey from Makka to Jerusalem - specifically, to the site of al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem - as referred to in Surah Al-Israa in the Quran. It is believed to have been followed by the Mi'raj, his ascension to heaven. According to some of the Hadith scholars this journey is believed to have taken place just over a year before Prophet Muhammad migrated to from Makka to Madina, on the 27th of Rajab. Muslims celebrate this night by offering optional prayers during this night, and in many Muslim countries, by illuminating cities with electric lights and candles. Following is the translation of the first verse of chapter 17, Al-Israa, from the Quran that refers to this journey, followed by a detailed explanation of the verse by Sayyid Abul Ala Mawdudi. Holy is He Who carried His servant by night from the Holy Mosque (in Makka) to the farther Mosque (in Jerusalem) - whose surroundings We have blessed - that We might show him some of Our signs 1. Indeed He alone is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. ( Quran 17:1)1 This is a reference to the event known as Mi'raj (Ascension) and Isra' (Night Journey). According to most traditions - and especially the authentic ones - this event took place one year before Hijrah."

"text": "Your Email:“Assalamu Alaikum”–Origin and Meaning of the Muslim Greetingadmin Share this on Whats App The following sheds light on the origin of the Muslim greeting “Assalamu Alaikum” (peace be upon you. ) Quranic verse on greeting others Prophet’s Hadith on Assalamu-Alaikum The Prophet said, “Allah created Adam in his image, sixty cubits (about 30 meters) in height. When He created him, He said (to him), ‘Go and greet that group of angels sitting there, and listen what they will say in reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your offspring.’ Adam (went and) said, ‘As-Salamu alaikum (Peace be upon you).’ They replied, ‘As-Salamu ‘Alaika wa Rahmatullah (Peace and Allah’s Mercy be on you).’ So they increased ‘wa Rahmatullah’ The Prophet added, ‘So whoever will enter Paradise, will be of the shape and picture of Adam. Since then the creation of Adam’s (offspring) (i.e. stature of human beings) is being diminished continuously up to the present time.” ( Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 74, Number 246)You can read more Islamic wisdom related to self, family, and other matters in this book by clicking here. Adam Created in an Image?‘His Image’ means that Adam has been bestowed with life, knowledge, power of hearing, seeing, understanding, but the features of Adam are different from those of Allah, only the names are the same, e.g. Allah has life and knowledge and power of understanding, and Adam also has them, but there is no comparison between the Creator and the created thing. As Allah says in the Quran: “There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-hearer, the All-Seer” (V42.11), Allah does not eat or sleep, while Adam used to eat and sleep [More details in Fath Al-Bari, vol.6."

Instead, residents here use the federally facilitated site at Health Care.gov. They can also use an independent agent, broker site or company to enroll directly while still taking advantage of cost-saving measures under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Requirement by Law Despite the political upheaval this year over healthcare reform, it’s important to note that Obamacare’s individual mandate is still in effect. The IRS has stated that it will be enforcing the mandate as well. Under the Affordable Care Act, all eligible Americans – which represents much of the country – must hold qualifying health insurance or face a penalty fee. For this year, the fee is the greater of 2.5 percent of your household’s taxable income or a flat fee of $695 per adult ($347.50 per child under 18). The fee increases with inflation each year. Obamacare Enrollment in Arizona For 2018During the 2017 open enrollment period, 196,291 people signed up for health insurance using the exchange, compared to just over 203,000 last year. The shift downward in enrollment can be contributed to several factors, including uncertainty over the current administration’s stance on healthcare reform and rising premium costs."

"text": "Health Impact News Launches Medical Kidnap.com Brian Shilhavy Health Impact News Health Impact News has launched a new website to specifically publish stories of families who have had their children removed from their custody by medical professionals using local social service agencies, such as CPS (Child Protection Services). Health Impact News has learned that these “medical kidnapping” cases are not isolated cases, but a systemic problem throughout the United States. Since publishing stories of medical kidnappings happening in Boston, Chicago, and Phoenix, many other families have contacted us to tell similar stories. What is the Motivation Behind Medical Kidnapping? When hearing about a case where a doctor or hospital has ordered CPS to take custody of a child away from the parents, the normal reaction is: “Why? There must be a reason why they did this. ”The medical authorities will claim it is for the good of the child, and that the parents are incapable of taking care of the child. But in most of the stories we have covered so far, the parents were actually following doctors’ instructions for treatment, and the child was removed simply for wanting to get a second opinion, or take the child to a different hospital or doctor. In covering these types of stories for more than a year now, we have found some common threads that are reported by parents and attorneys who are advocates for parents’ rights. Foster Care Funding First, when the social agency takes custody of the child, which is done with no court order but simply by the directives of medical officials, the child enters into the foster care system, which results in access to federal funds."

Lee was a Civil War general for the Confederacy, a group of states that seceded from the United States to form a government in which, as Article IV of its constitution stated, “the institution of negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected. ”To understand why these men are honored on the same day in three states, one needs to look back at the controversial history of the MLK holiday. Happy Birthday Almost immediately after King’s assassination in 1968, activists and legislators began pushing for a holiday commemorating his January 15 birthday—a struggle that would continue for 15 years. “The important thing to remember is that [King’s] reputation, generally, in the country, has changed,” says Lois Horton, professor emeritus of history at George Mason University. “"

"text": "\"Do a whale's hip bones have a function? I think the right answer is 'no'. ( So says this evolution website: \"\"These bones resemble those of other mammals, but are only weakly developed in the whale and have no apparent function.\"\") They had a function for whales' ancestors who walked on land in the distant past and needed hip bones for their leg bones to attach to. But lacking legs, whales have no use for hip bones, rendering these structures without function in the present. This is a problem for evolutionary accounts of function. On these accounts, the function of the whale's hip bones is something like connecting up with the whale's leg bones. That's because evolutionary accounts of function are historical. On such accounts, the selection pressures that caused a particular part to exist are what gives it its function. I'm fine with saying that whale hip bones had the function of connecting with legs in the past, when they were in whale ancestors who had legs."

For a more complete list which also includes extensive details of where these concepts can be found in Foucault's work please see my book Michel Foucault (London: Sage, 2005). The list here places more emphasis on definitions, whereas the list in the book provides a detailed structure of references for users of Foucault's work. © Clare O'Farrell 2007apparatus (dispositif)Foucault generally uses this term to indicate the various institutional, physical and administrative mechanisms and knowledge structures, which enhance and maintain the exercise of power within the social body. The original French term dispositif is rendered variously as 'dispositif', 'apparatus' and 'deployment' in English translations of Foucault's workarchaeology'Archaeology' is the term Foucault used during the 1960s to describe his approach to writing history. Archaeology is about examining the discursive traces and orders left by the past in order to write a 'history of the present'. In other words archaeology is about looking at history as a way of understanding the processes that have led to what we are today.archaeology versus genealogy Foucault's remarks on the difference between archaeology and genealogy are generally rather vague and confusing. The tools Foucault uses to practice both methods are to all intents and purposes the same. But, if archaeology addresses a level at which differences and similarities are determined, a level where things are simply organized to produce manageable forms of knowledge, the stakes are much higher for genealogy. Genealogy deals with precisely the same substrata of knowledge and culture, but Foucault now describes it as a level where the grounds of the true and the false come to be distinguished via mechanisms of power.archive This is a technical term Foucault uses in The Archaeology of Knowledge."

Wales Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B0-08-044854-2/00548-4 Get rights and content The objectives of stylistics are defined, and its relations and overlap with other disciplines are described. Its increasing pedagogic popularity as an academic subject is stressed, as well as its value in English as a Foreign Language teaching. A brief history of stylistics with major movements follows, and current trends are noted. Author Keywordscognitive stylistics; computational stylistics; context; critical discourse analysis; discourse;hermeneutics; pedagogical stylistics; poetics; pragmatics; rhetoric; style; text Definition and Domain Stylistics is broadly and simply ‘the study of style,’ a concept that is widely known and used, but that is difficult to define and has many different shadings. What is certain, however, is that its essence is ‘distinction,’ ‘variation,’ or ‘choice’: in any language there is always more than one way of writing or speaking the same (sic) message, but with a different connotation or effect as a result. Stylistics as a discipline takes as its base this essential variation, whether at the level of phonology, grammar, lexis, semantics, or discourse. It differs from sociolinguistics, where style is seen as a variable within a continuously evolving sociolinguistic system, in being concerned with the functional significance of style. It characteristically deals with the interpretation of texts by focusing in detail on relevant distinctive linguistic features, patterns, structures, or levels and on their significance and effects on readers. It presupposes that every linguistic feature in a text has potential significance. It draws its terminology and models from various appropriate branches of linguistics, and one of the commonest collocations and metaphors associated with it is ‘toolbox’ or ‘tool kit.’"

"text": "\"Liberation Theology General Information Liberation theology, a term first used in 1973 by Gustavo Gutierrez, a Peruvian Roman Catholic priest, is a school of thought among Latin American Catholics according to which the Gospel of Christ demands that the church concentrate its efforts on liberating the people of the world from poverty and oppression. The liberation-theology movement was partly inspired by the Second Vatican Council and the 1967 papal encyclical Populorum progressio. Its leading exponents include Gutierrez, Leonardo Boff of Brazil, and Juan Luis Segundo of Uruguay. The liberationists have received encouragement from the Latin American bishops, especially in resolutions adopted at a 1968 conference in Medellin, Colombia; others in the Roman Catholic church have objected to their use of Marxist ideas, their support for revolutionary movements, and their criticisms of traditional church institutions. Two members of Nicaragua's Sandinista leadership belonged to the Roman Catholic clergy, a Maryknoll and a Jesuit. Vatican authorities censured Boff in 1985 but in a 1986 document supported a moderate form of liberation theology.

For Aristide, liberation theology meant criticizing the repressive dictatorship of Jean Claude Duvalier and protecting the rights of the poor in Haiti. After completing his seminary training in 1979, Aristide's superiors sent him out of the country in an effort to curb his political activism."

"title": "http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ivan-eland/is-barack-obama-the-worst_b_6061208.html\nIs Barack Obama the Worst President in American History?",
"text": "After my recent appearance on the Fox News Channel’s morning show, Fox and Friends, Donald Trump, appearing after me on the same show, asserted that my ranking of Barack Obama 34th out of 41 presidents rated — in the new, revised edition of Recarving Rushmore: Ranking the Presidents on Peace, Prosperity, and Liberty — had “zero credibility” because Obama was the worst president in American history. Donald Trump has a right to his opinion and may be an expert on real estate and “shock marketing,” but he is an apprentice at American history. With America’s ahistorical orientation and restrictive two-party political system, people on the right of the American political spectrum reflexively and viscerally believe that the current left-of-center president is the worst in history; left-leaning people had the same opinion of George W. Bush. Yet in the American two-party system, the parties behave like two giant corporations that are alone in one market — that is a duopoly. They pretend to fiercely compete on the surface but really collude under the table. This fact is hard for the American public to grasp, given the harsh public rhetoric and posturing by both parties and a 24/7/365 cable news environment that feeds on such rhetorical controversy. But the evidence that this sub rosa collusion among the parties exists is that the policy records of “liberal Obama” and “conservative” Bush are very similar. They both started and escalated needless wars, restricted civil liberties in the fight against terrorism, and increased the federal government’s role domestically. As an example of their parallel actions at home, they both expanded health care coverage, increased federal intrusion into education, bailed out or socialized industries, doled out goodies on a grand scale to special interest groups, and spent like drunken sailors on domestic programs. Yet, historians do not share the view that Obama and Bush are the worst presidents in American history."

"text": "Introduction to Coral reefs Coral reefs (1842) was Darwin’s first monograph. It addressed an immensely ambitious subject. It is perhaps second only to the Origin for its masterful deduction from observation, leading to the construction of a theory that if proved would exceed all previous attempts and virtually solve its subject. The power of Darwin’s monograph was well recognised by his contemporaries as a major scientific work. It was for this book and his monographs on barnacles that Darwin was awarded the Copley Medal by The Royal Society in 1864. This introduction is not intended to repeat the bibliographical history of Coral reefs which, as with all Darwin’s books, was dealt with extensively by R. B. Freeman. Coral reefs was first published in May 1842. Darwin brought out a revised second edition in 1872 and a third edition, with a substantial appendix by T. G. Bonney, appeared in 1889. The first edition was enthusiastically reviewed by Jackson 1842. By 1838, at the age of twenty-nine, Darwin had sent his Journal of researches to the printers and organised the publication of his Zoology of the Beagle, Darwin wanted to proceed with his planned Geology of the voyage of the Beagle, a project he had conceived some seven years previously, in April 1832."

If you go by the title of this magazine, the Civil War belongs to all Americans. To North and South, black and white, are apportioned shares of its heartache, consequences and glory, not to mention the responsibility to truthfully appraise the men and issues that divided and nearly destroyed this country. Approaching the Civil War sesquicentennial, it is easy to believe that some Americans have concluded otherwise. Congress has either refused or neglected to form a national sesquicentennial commission to organize and fund this once-in-a-generation anniversary opportunity. Whatever their flaws, such groups are capable of galvanizing nationally palatable and historically accurate commemorations. At their best, they marshal attention to usefully probe the past to illuminate the future."

"text": "Development in Sociology MODERNITYDEPENDENCYWORLD SYSTEMSMARKET REFORMINSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVESFEMINIST PERSPECTIVESCAPABILITIESBIBLIOGRAPHYDevelopment was a post – World War II concept used to describe and explain economic and social change throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, and southeastern Europe. President Harry Truman (1884 – 1972) launched “ the era of development ” in 1949 when he committed the United States to making scientific and industrial advances available to underdeveloped areas. Four major theoretical and policy perspectives regarding development have been proposed: modernity (roughly 1940s – 1950s), dependency (1960s – 1970s), world systems (1980s – 2000s), and market reform (1980s – 2000s). Institutional, feminist, and capability perspectives also have informed development discourse. In various contexts, development has signified economic growth, income disparity, or class conflict within and between nation-states and regions of the world, and it has incorporated economic, political, and social change as well as enhanced individual freedom. MODERNITYModernity theorists focused on economic growth accompanied by political stability, not on social transformation itself. They assessed economic development primarily by gross domestic product, per capita income, or extent of poverty. Political stability implied preferable but not exclusive emphasis on the development of democratic institutions. Informing the modernity school were classical evolutionary theorists, including Auguste Comte (1798 – 1857), É mile Durkheim (1859 – 1917), Herbert Spencer (1820 – 1903), and Ferdinand T ö nnies (1855 – 1936), and functionalist theorists such as Talcott Parsons (1902 – 1979) and Edward Shils (1911 – 1995). The modernity school included economists, such as Walt W. Rostow, who stressed the importance of speeding up productive investments; political scientists, including Samuel Eisenstadt and Gabriel Almond, who highlighted the need to enhance the capacity of political systems; and sociologists, such as Marion Levy and Neil Smelser, who focused on changes in Parsons ’ s pattern variables (a way of characterizing interactions between people) and social differentiation."

"text": "The Nuclear Industry Prices Itself Out Of Market For New Power Plants Joe Romm Mar 8, 2016, 9:45 pm SHARECREDIT: TORU HANAI/APIn the modern era, nuclear power plants have almost always become more and more expensive over time. They have a “negative learning curve” — along with massive delays and cost overruns in market economies. This is confirmed both by recent studies and by the ongoing cost escalations of nuclear plants around the world, as I’ll detail in this post. The cost escalation curse of nuclear power“Ever since the completion of the first wave of nuclear reactors in 1970, and continuing with the ongoing construction of new reactors in Europe, nuclear power seems to be doomed with the curse of cost escalation,” read one 2015 journal article, “Revisiting the Cost Escalation Curse of Nuclear Power. ”In the United States, the cost of Georgia Power’s newest twin Vogtle reactors may top initial estimates of $14 billion and reach $21 billion, according to recent Georgia Public Service Commission testimony. Of course, the first two Vogtle Units begun in 1971 took 18 years to build (a decade over schedule) at a final price of $9 billion — ten times the original price tag. Bloomberg Business wrote last fall, “Even as sympathetic an observer as John Rowe [former chair of the U. S.’s largest nuclear utility] warns that the new units at Vogtle will be uneconomical when — or if — they’re completed .”Even the French can’t build an affordable, on-schedule next generation nuclear plant in their own nuclear-friendly country. Their newest Normandy plant, which originally was projected to cost €3bn ($3.3 billion) and start producing power in 2012 “will not start until 2018 at a cost of €10.5bn [$11.3 billion],” the Financial Times reported last year. The high and rising price of new nuclear power plants does not mean new nukes will play no role in the fight to avoid catastrophic warming, as I discussed in January. It does means that, barring a huge unprecedented and ahistorical price drop in next-generation nuclear plants, the role nuclear power plays will be a limited one — a very limited one in market economies especially if the industry can’t reverse decades of cost escalation."

"text": "Inquire vs Enquire By Ali Hale One of our readers, Susabelle wrote to ask: Can you take on explaining the difference between “inquire” and “enquire?”These are two spellings of the same word, which means to seek information about something or to conduct a formal investigation (usually when followed by “into”). The corresponding noun is enquiry or inquiry. Either spelling can be used, but many people prefer enquire and enquiry for the general sense of “ask”, and inquire and inquiry for a formal investigation: I enquired his name The first enquiry in my inbox today was about lost property. We are going to inquire into the incident. The lawyers asked when the inquiry will be completed. In practice, enquire and enquiry are more common in British English, and inquire and inquiry are more common in US English, for both informal questions and formal investigations. However, the Guardian (a British newspaper) tells writers to “use inquiry ” and the Oxford English Dictionary seems to recognise inquire as the more dominant form, deeming enquiry:”An alternative form of INQUIRE. The mod. Dicts. give inquire as the standard form, but enquire is still very frequently used, esp."

[ 3] [4] Speculative fiction can be recognized in works whose authors ' intentions or the social contexts of the versions of stories they portrayed is now known, since ancient Greekdramatists such as Euripides (ca. 480–406 BCE) whose play Medea seems to have offended Athenian audiences when he fictionally speculated that shamaness Medea killed her own children instead of their being killed by other Corinthians after her departure, [5] and whose play Hippolytus, narratively introduced by Aphrodite, Goddess of Love in person, is suspected to have displeased his contemporary audiences because he portrayed Phaedra as too lusty. [ 6]In historiography, what is now called speculative fiction has previously been termed \"\"historical invention\"\", [7] \"\" historical fiction \"\", and similar names. It is extensively noted in literary criticism of the works of William Shakespeare [8] as when he co-locates Athenian Duke Theseus and Amazonian Queen Hippolyta, English fairy Puck, and Roman god Cupid across time and space in the Fairyland of its Merovingian Germanic sovereign Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream. [ 9]In mythography the concept of speculative fiction has been termed \"\"mythopoesis\"\" or mythopoeia, \"\"fictional speculation\"\", the creative design and generation of lore, regarding such works as J. R. R. Tolkien 's The Lord of the Rings. [ 10] Such supernatural, alternate history and sexuality themes continue in works produced within the modern speculative fiction genre. [ 11]The creation of speculative fiction in its general sense of hypothetical history, explanation, or ahistorical storytelling has also been attributed to authors in ostensibly non-fiction mode since as early as Herodotus of Halicarnassus (fl."

"text": "Slavery and the Causes of the American Civil War James Marten - April 11, 2011The Sesquicentennial offers a chance to open a dialogue about one of the most divisive issues in Americans’ understanding of their country’s history: the causes of the Civil War. Virtually every professional historian who declares out loud or in print that slavery was the main cause of the war has received letters, emails, or comments from audience members that say something to the effect that southerners—sometimes they refer to specific ancestors—did not go to war to defend slavery, nor did northerners go to war to end it. They often suggest that we academic historians have ignored the well-known facts that most southerners did not own slaves and that most northerners shared the era’s racist attitudes. But on this particular issue, historians and those who attack our ivory tower inability to see what they firmly believe is the truth are often talking about two different things: underlying causes and personal motivations. The convictions that inspire men to risk their lives for their country are not necessarily the same as the policies that thrust that country into armed conflict. When historians assert that slavery caused the Civil War, most are saying that only the presence of the “peculiar institution” made it impossible to resolve peacefully the constitutional, political, and economic issues that had long animated sectional tensions. Based on the personal correspondence or reminiscences of individual Confederates, however, our sometime-critics usually argue that those issues—under the umbrella of states’ rights —were the conflict’s real causes. Fair enough. There’s no reason not to believe the actual words of actual southerners on why they went to war against the Union. Moreover, contrary to what many people think, most historians who argue in favor of slavery as the primary cause of the war do not suggest that it was the only cause."

"text": "\"Law Here’s How Republicans Can Confirm Supreme Court Nominees Without The Nuclear Option Instead of using the nuclear option to kill the filibuster, Senate Republicans can actually confirm nominees by forcing Democrats to debate. By Sean Davis February 7, 2017President Donald Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch to fill Antonin Scalia’s seat on the U. S. Supreme Court has reignited the debate over the so-called nuclear option, a procedural tool that could be used to end debate on the nomination and force an up-or-down confirmation vote. Proponents of the nuclear option say it is necessary to prevent Democrats from using the filibuster to permanently prevent a vote to confirm Gorsuch. Opponents of the nuclear option say it will not only fundamentally alter the nature of the Senate, it will also greatly empower Democrats when they retake the Senate and the White House. At its core, the debate over the nuclear option highlights the tension between the need for debate and the need for finality on judicial matters. Unfortunately, exercising the nuclear option is a zero-sum game. If it’s invoked, debate is dead. If it isn’t, proponents say, Supreme Court nominations are dead. But what if there were a way to guarantee both an up-or-down vote on a Supreme Court nominee and debate about the nomination? What if there were a way to preserve debate while providing for a final vote?"

"text": "\"Save this picture!If Norman Foster were a household item, he would surely be a Swiss Army Knife. Foster, who turned 80 this year, is unrelenting in producing architectural solutions to problems that other architects can only theorize - just last Wednesday, for example, his firm released their design for a previously-unheard-of building typology, a droneport in Rwanda. It is surprising then to find the man or his eponymous firm Foster + Partners absent from a list like Fast Company ’s “ The World's Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Architecture ,” organized into superlatives: MMA Architects, “for thinking outside the big box,” Heatherwick Studio, “for reimagining green space,” or C. F. Møller Architects, “for rethinking high-rise living.” This is not to say that Foster or his firm should be substituted for any of these deserved accolades, but rather that for five decades Foster and his firm have ceaselessly worked to enhance and expand on the human experience with architectural solutions that are both inventive and practical - a fact that is perhaps lost as a result of his position within the architectural establishment. With that in mind, we thought it was worth highlighting the many occasions over the decades where Foster + Partners has shown themselves to be among the world's most innovative practices. Read on for more.1971-1975, Willis Faber and Dumas Headquarters, Ipswich, United Kingdom Save this picture!Foster’s first green building came long before such accolades were in any sort of vogue, and even by today’s standards, the Willis Faber and Dumas Headquarters building is a dramatic example of environmentally informed, respectful design. Requiring the scale of a small office tower, but wanting to be in keeping with its surroundings, the building is a mere three-stories that fulfills its spatial requirements with a blot-like shape that adheres to the surrounding Medieval street plan - “flowing to the edges of the site, like a pancake in a pan” according to the firm’s website. Eager to subvert the tenets of modernism, Foster created a building that was shaped by its surroundings and purposefully at odds with the waning tendency for ahistorical architecture. The building’s all-glass facade, developed with Pilkington, hangs almost effortlessly from a clamping strip at the roof level. The panels themselves are connected by corner patch fittings and are jointed to each other with silicon."

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.

Which has always made me wonder why more of them haven’t gone out to start their own companies. It’s easier to do now than ever before, only a small investment is required and it can be done in your spare time. This story about a You Tube user who got so popular that she was able to start her own cosmetics company might be just the inspiration you need.

It is the fourth largest city in the country, after Casablanca, Fez and Tangier. [ 3] It is the capital city of the mid-southwestern region of Marrakesh-Safi. Located to the north of the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, Marrakesh is situated 580 km (360 mi) southwest of Tangier, 327 km (203 mi) southwest of the Moroccan capital of Rabat, 239 km (149 mi) south of Casablanca, and 246 km (153 mi) northeast of Agadir. Marrakesh is possibly the most important of Morocco's four former imperial cities. The region has been inhabited by Berber farmers since Neolithic times, but the actual city was founded in 1062 by Abu Bakr ibn Umar, chieftain and cousin of Almoravid king Yusuf ibn Tashfin. In the 12th century, the Almoravids built many madrasas (Koranic schools) and mosques in Marrakesh that bear Andalusian influences."

Differences are noticed when there are city services which are available only within city limits, and county services that are available throughout a few cities in their geographic region. For those who are unaware, there are many differences between a city and a county and are more than just geographic and population based. A city is comprised of a relatively large population that is described as having some sort of historical establishment and legal system. Cities have their own court systems, law enforcement, fire departments, and some form of medical care centers. There are some cities which don’t have a full hospital, however they do have medical emergency services. Some cities have utility services, housing divisions, and even public transportation systems that can help move the community from one side of the city to another. The largest city in the world is Tokyo, Japan, and the largest city in the United States is Los Angeles, California. There are city limits which surround all cities which signifies to travelers that they are leaving what is the city and are either traveling through another city or the county till they reach another city.

"text": "HFC Refrigerants Used in Commercial Air Conditioningby Bart Powelson | Nov. 27, 2013Tags: Cost Savings, Environment, Maintenance The most popular hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants for new commercial air conditioning systems include R-410A, R-407C and R-134a. As a facility manager or owner, it’s important that you understand these different refrigerants so that you can make informed decisions for your facility’s air conditioning system. Outlined below are the main differences between HFC refrigerants and additional context on why having the right refrigerant matters. R-22 Refrigerant Often referred to by a brand name, such as Freon®As of 2010, R-22 was discontinued for use in new air conditioning systems By 2015, the use of R-22 must be discontinued across the board R-22 is a hydro-chlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) that contributes to ozone depletion R-410A Refrigerant Often referred to by a brand name such as Puron®, Suva® 9100, or Genetron® AZ-20®Has been approved for use in new systems It is a hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC) that does not contribute to ozone depletion R-410A operating pressures are more than 50% higher than R-22 and R-410A systems require components capable of working at these higher pressures R-410A is the most common refrigerant for new light commercial unitary air conditioning systems R-407C Refrigerant Often referred to by a brand name such as Suva® 407C or Genetron® 407CR-407C is a hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC) that does not contribute to ozone depletion Of the higher temperature HFC options, R-407C most closely matches the operating characteristics of R-22It is a high-glide refrigerant with lower efficiency, but provides the simplest conversion from R-22 due to its similar pressures R-134a Refrigerant Widely used in many air conditioning and refrigeration systems globally It is a hydro-fluorocarbon (HFC) that does not contribute to ozone depletion; also the first non-ozone-depleting fluorocarbon refrigerant to be commercialized It is a single-component refrigerant with no glide, featured in many large commercial screw chillers Emerson Climate Technologies and other industry partners have identified R-410A as an excellent long-term solution for residential and light commercial air-conditioning, due to its combination of high-efficiency performance and direct GWP value, which is close to that of R-22. System manufacturers have had great success with R-410A because of its energy efficient properties and ease of use in their systems. In addition, components are now widely available for designing efficient R-410A systems. Newer air conditioning models are designed to be used with R-410A for reliable and more efficient operation. Because R-410A can absorb and release more heat than R-22, an air conditioning compressor can run at a cooler temperature, reducing the risk of compressor burnout due to overheating. R-410A also functions at a higher pressure than R-22, so new compressors are built to withstand greater stresses, reducing the chance for cracking. If someone were to put R-410A refrigerant into a system designed for R-22, the pressure would be too much and the unit would break."

"text": "FAQ: How quickly will my water heater…13/05/2015 by SLS 10 Comments I just drained my tank, how long will it take to heat up? How much hot water can I expect with my shower running? Will I have enough hot water with three teenage girls… These are just a few questions that revolve around just how well a water heater will actually perform based on your needs. In order to figure that out lets look at some common terms and just what they mean in English. Standby Losses: A standby loss is essentially how much heat must be used to maintain the water temperature in the tank when there is no call for it. Gas units take a big hit on this as one can generally only insulate the top & sides of the unit as the burner is underneath. They also take a hit (especially older natural drafting units) as they send a lot of heat up through the flu. Electrical units on the other hand have the elements directly in the water allowing for more heat to be delivered to the water itself. Energy Factor: Many people might consider this to be the holy grail of numbers, while in fact it can easily deceive you about how well a water heater will perform based on how you will use it. Quite simply it is a standardized protocol to determine how much of the energy delivered to the unit will be used to deliver heated water while accounting for standby losses."

When introduced in the 1970s, heat pumps were noisy, unreliable machines that garnered little more than passing curiosity from homeowners. Now, as heat pump estimates continue to drop, this alternative heating system is quiet, reliable, and usually less costly to heat a home than with other traditional options, such as gas, oil and electric furnaces. If your heating bills just keep rising, it might be time to invest in a heat pump. Heat pump costs may appear high because of the expensive initial investment, but in the long-term heat pumps usually lead to savings courtesy of some of the best energy efficiency of all heating and cooling options. While you may think you're paying more for a heat pump, you will also likely recover your investment in energy savings far more quickly than with other heating methods."

My understanding is no. What about the reverse? Are all variable speed furnace motors ECM? Maybe... The word \"\"multi-stage\"\" has nothing to do with the motor, correct? That has something to do with the number of burners on or amount of gas being burned, right?

It has a long history and has acquired a number of meanings and uses over the years. It is used principally as a unit of mass. Its original use as a measurement of volume has continued in the capacity of cargo ships and in terms such as the freight ton. It can also be used as a measure of energy, for truck classification, or as a colloquial term. It is derived from the tun, the term applied to a cask of the largest size. This could contain a volume between 175 and 213 imperial gallons (210 and 256 US gal; 800 and 970 l ), which could weigh around 2,000 pounds (910 kg) and occupy some 60 cubic feet (1.7 m 3) of space.

Now, its language translation tool has used machine learning to create a 'language' all of its own. In September, the search giant turned on its Google Neural Machine Translation (GNMT) system to help it automatically improve how it translates languages. The machine learning system analyses and makes sense of languages by looking at entire sentences – rather than individual phrases or words. Advertisement Following several months of testing, the researchers behind the AI have seen it be able to blindly translate languages even if it's never studied one of the languages involved in the translation. \"\" An example of this would be translations between Korean and Japanese where Korean⇄Japanese examples were not shown to the system,\"\" the Mike Schuster, from Google Brain wrote in a blogpost. The team said the system was able to make \"\"reasonable\"\" translations of the languages it had not been taught to translate. In one instance, a research paper published alongside the blog, says the AI was taught Portuguese→English and English→Spanish.

Specially trained accountants work in-depth with AIS to ensure the highest level of accuracy in a company's financial transactions and recordkeeping, as well as make financial data easily available to those who legitimately need access to it — all while keeping data intact and secure. Accounting information systems generally consist of six primary components: people, procedures and instructions, data, software, information technology infrastructure and internal controls. Let's look at each component in detail.1. People The people in an AIS are simply the system users. Professionals who may need to use an organization's AIS include accountants, consultants, business analysts, managers, chief financial officers and auditors. An AIS helps the different departments within a company work together. For example, management can establish sales goals for which staff can then order the appropriate amount of inventory. The inventory order notifies the accounting department of a new payable. When sales are made, sales people can enter customer orders, accounting can invoice customers, the warehouse can assemble the order, the shipping department can send it off, and the accounting department gets notified of a new receivable."

Accurate spelling is not an isolated skill limited to a student’s weekly spelling test or spelling bee competition. Spelling is one of the fundamental subskills of effective written communication. The vast majority of spelling occurs in real life applications to achieve communication objectives. The goal of spelling instruction should not be temporary memorization of words but rather the development of skills to be able to correctly represent our written language. While spelling of individual words in our English language can be tricky a times, it is not complete chaos that requires the memorization of 50,000+ individual words. Help the student learn how to accurately represent our written language. First and foremost, beginning spelling instruction should always emphasize the phonetic nature of spelling.

( Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology)Many analysts consider 2015 to have been a breakthrough year for Artificial Intelligence (AI), not because of any single achievement, but because of achievements across the board in so many different areas. Companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft are now operating their own AI labs. In areas such as image recognition, computer vision, face recognition, voice recognition and natural language processing, there are a wealth of new products (think of Siri or OK Google) that are becoming increasingly reliable and increasingly available. Several companies are testing self-driving cars, and they’re expected to be available commercially by 2020. Robots in the military are becoming more common, from robots on wheels to pilotless drone warplanes. All of these robots still require constant human intervention and control, but they’re slowly migrating away from human control to algorithmically based decision making and control.

"text": "\"Modular Representations of Cognitive Phenomena in AI, Psychology and Neuroscience Joanna J. Bryson The Artificial models of natural Intelligence ( Amon I) Group University of Bath, Department of Computer Science Bath, BA2 7AY, United Kingdom +44 (0) 1225 38 3934; fax: +44 (0) 1225 38 3493Abstract: Many architectures of mind assume some form of modularity, but what is meant by the term `module'? This chapter creates a framework for understanding current modularity research in three subdisciplines of cognitive science -- psychology, artificial intelligence and neuroscience. The framework starts from the distinction between horizontal modules which support all expressed behaviors vs. vertical modules which support individual domain-specific capacities. The framework is used to discuss innateness, automaticity, compositionality, representations, massive modularity, behavior-based and multi-agent AI systems, correspondence to physiological neurosystems. There is also a brief discussion of the relevance of modularity to conscious experience. Introduction Many of the architectures of mind described and referenced in this book assume some form of modularity. But what is considered to define a module varies a great deal both within and between the cognitive science disciplines: artificial intelligence (AI), psychology and neuroscience. This chapter is not devoted to any one architecture (though I have one too, which I will describe briefly in the Discussion to make my biases clear), but is rather an overview of the concepts and concerns of modularity. It covers all three of the above disciplines and shows how they relate to one another and to cognition -- or at least to cognitive phenomena, such as planning, learning, language, emotions, and consciousness. My hope is that this chapter will serve as a useful primer -- in the best case, a Rosetta stone -- for both scientists and lay people trying to get a handle on what the various fields of cognitive science might mean by modularity, and how the modular architectures described in this book and elsewhere might correspond to our common understanding of what minds do."

Technologies have reached a point at which the deployment of such systems is — practically if not legally — feasible within years, not decades. The stakes are high: LAWS have been described as the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms. LISTENStuart Russell discusses the risks of automated killing machines Autonomous weapons systems select and engage targets without human intervention; they become lethal when those targets include humans. LAWS might include, for example, armed quadcopters that can search for and eliminate enemy combatants in a city, but do not include cruise missiles or remotely piloted drones for which humans make all targeting decisions. Existing AI and robotics components can provide physical platforms, perception, motor control, navigation, mapping, tactical decision-making and long-term planning. They just need to be combined. For example, the technology already demonstrated for self-driving cars, together with the human-like tactical control learned by Deep Mind's DQN system, could support urban search-and-destroy missions."

( For PDF and SVG formats, you must select the Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities options to preserve all Illustrator data.) EPS and FXG can save individual artboards as separate files. SVG saves the active artboard only; however, the content from all artboards is displayed. You can also export artwork in a variety of file formats for use outside of Illustrator. These formats are called non-native formats because Illustrator will not be able to retrieve all of the data if you reopen the file in Illustrator.

LISP was founded on the mathematical theory of recursive functions (in which a function appears in its own definition). A LISP program is a function applied to data, rather than being a sequence of procedural steps as in FORTRAN and ALGOL. LISP uses a very simple notation in which operations and their operands are given in a parenthesized list. For example, (+ a (* b c )) stands for a + b * c. Although this appears awkward, the notation works well for computers. LISP also uses the list structure to represent data, and, because programs and data use the same structure, it is easy for a LISP program to operate on other programs as data. LISP became a common language for artificial intelligence (AI) programming, partly owing to the confluence of LISP and AI work at MIT and partly because AI programs capable of “learning” could be written in LISP as self-modifying programs.

Maybe to spice it up, make it more exotic and different? Well learning to say \"\"I love you\"\" in Chinese is perfect!Steps1 The phrase for saying \"\"I love you\"\" in Chinese, in pinyin, is \"\"wo ai ni\"\" or 我爱你 in calligraphy. If you already speak Chinese, then it shouldn't be too hard to pronounce the phrase correctly. Wo is the third tone, ai is the fourth tone, and ni is of the third tone. Tones represent how the word is spoken and are very important; if the tone is wrong, what you say can become a completely different word! It's like homophones, except with an extremely subtle difference.2 The third tone in wo means that the sound is pronounced with the tone first going down, then up. Imagine a rollercoaster ride and you're going down a dip, then coming back up again. That's how wo should be pronounced, going down, then up.3 The fourth tone just goes down and doesn't come back up, unlike the third tone, so ai should be pronounced like you're slashing a knife downwards. It should be somewhat sharp, but don't cut it too short; remember the tone needs to be clear so we know which word you're saying.4 Ni is, again, the third tone so the sound should go up and down like for wo.5 Practice stringing these syllables together to get the phrase \"\"I love you. \"\""

An Informed Definition Last updated on May 15, 2017 by Daniel Faggella See more articles like this one in the following categories What is artificial intelligence (AI)? We take the term for granted, but how might we phrase a formal definition? And are the technologies that we have today really reflective of all that this term implies? Traditionally a branch of computer science, AI as a holistic concept has pulled from many areas of academic arenas, from philosophy to physics. Many are aware of the recognized origins of the term – famed computer scientist John Mc Carthy in 1956 at the “Dartmouth summer research project on Artificial Intelligence.” Since that time and as research and technology in this area has evolved, definitions of AI have shifted across a wide spectrum, and academics, businesspeople, and laypersons have a range of definitions (some better informed and reasoned than others – though again, the utility of such a term can depend on background and objectives). One of the reasons AI is so difficult to define is because we still don’t have a set definition or one solid concept for intelligence in general. Intelligence is often dependent on context. A traditionalist might define intelligence as level of reasoning power, and this seems one of the reasons why a popular determiner of AI has often been games – man and machine try to ‘outthink’ the other, or in the case of the machine at least match the human, so that it becomes difficult to tell where man begins and machine ends."

There would be fewer disputes and less disappointment in the construction industry if all parties to construction contracts clearly understood their obligations and were fully aware of their obligations, rights, and privileges. These are to be found primarily in the contract documents. The term contract documents is uniformly used in all AIA standard form agreements to designate the group of documents that comprise the construction contract between the owner and contractor. The terms contract documents and contract may be used interchangeably. The contract represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties. Owners and contractors, when making claims against the other, often will attempt to enforce the provisions of conversations, inferences of actions, and any scrap of paper developed in the course of their relationship. Similarly, architects will often search the documents seeking authority to compel the owner or contractor to perform some duty. However, only those documents and promises, that have been reduced to writing and incorporated into the contract, can be relied upon as being legally enforceable. Which Are the Contract Documents ... The AIA General Conditions of the Contract for Construction AIA Document A201 - 2007, includes a contractual definition of the contract documents in subparagraph 1.1.1: \"\"The Contract Documents are enumerated in the Agreement between the Owner and Contractor (hereinafter the Agreement) and consist of the Agreement, Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other conditions), Drawings, Specifications, Addenda issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement and Modifications issued after execution of the Contract."

Specifically we will show construction businesses how to complete form G-702 (Contractors Application for Payment) and form G-703 (Continuation Sheet). AIA billing is a standardized method of construction billing using a percentage of completed contract method (IE: Progress Billing). The purpose of AIA billing was to standardize the job related paperwork sent to architects, and others, by construction companies and contractors. The AIA billing system was developed by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in about 1992. Using these documents, the Contractor can apply for payment due and the Architect can certify that the payment is due. Typically, AIA billing consists of two forms.

In today’s competitive contracting environment, owners have a clear advantage when placing projects out to bid. As the economy continues to sputter, contractors know that they must provide very competitive pricing, as well as contractual terms that are favorable to the project owner. They are often concerned that any misstep at any stage of a project could cause the loss of future projects with an owner. One result of this competitive environment is that both general contractors and subcontractors are reluctant to submit a claim under the project Builder’s Risk policy because they don’t wish to upset the owner. Instead, they often look to their own Commercial General Liability (CGL) policy for claims payment even when a Builder’s Risk policy is in effect. While we understand the competitive environment and reasoning behind the desire to avoid a Builder’s Risk claim, there are several important factors that argue against this remedy. In particular, contractors need to understand the intended purpose and coverage details of a Builder’s Risk policy, as well as the “Other Insurance” Clause found in the CGL policy. Other vital considerations are the application of the Builder’s Risk deductible and the adverse impact that CGL claims can have on a contractor’s future premiums. The Builder’s Risk policy (also known as a Course of Construction policy) is a property policy that insures against accidental loss or damage to contractors’ work and property during the period of construction."

IACA members do not undertake tree pruning/removal work. It is currently acknowledged that a more concise description and naming of the types of “Arborist Reports” should be developed to ensure that those who commission, read and assess such reports (sometimes one and the same), understand the purpose of the report. IACA members have developed a discussion paper which details a number of different types of arboricultural reports for different purposes. The aim of this Report Types document is to outline the minimum acceptable content for each report type to provide more uniformity in reports submitted. Terminology is taken from AS4970, 2009 Protection of Trees on Development Sites and AS4373, 2007 Pruning of Amenity Trees. Additionally, individual Councils’ “Guidelines for Preparation of Arborist’s Reports ” should be referred to where applicable. In some instances these documents may need to be qualified or amended to reflect the report titles below. It is assumed that tree assessment and reporting is undertaken by suitably qualified (AQF Level 5 minimum) Arboriculturists (Consulting Arborists). The report types are as follows: Preliminary Tree Assessment (pre DA)Arboricultural Impact Assessment (for DA)Root Mapping Report Development Tree Management Plan or Arboricultural Impact Management Plan5 Tree Protection Certification (during construction)Tree Risk Assessment Tree Assessment Report for Removal or Pruning Application Tree Valuation Report Tree / Landscape Maintenance and Management Report Statement of Evidence Others (e.g. pre-purchase tree comment)Type 1: Preliminary Tree Assessment (Pre-Development Application)Provides base arboricultural data to guide the layout of the development to maximise retention of trees with high retention value."

"text": "Fire Stations: The construction contingency allowance Ken Newell AIA, LEED-AP, NFPA 10/14/2011 -Webster’s Dictionary defines “contingency” as “a possible or unplanned event.” That definition provides apt expectation regarding the Construction Contingency Allowance (CCA). The CCA is a predetermined sum of money designated for a yet to be determined issue that can change the scope of the work during the actual construction of a project. It has been stated often that construction is more an art than a science. Therefore it is impossible to know in advance every issue or challenge that will be encountered once “dirt is turned.” The guarantee that you have before beginning construction is that you will discover unplanned items during the process. One advantage to including the CCA in the construction contract is that it is part of the contract sum. Therefore, the builder has included all potential work performed with the CCA in his original bonding of the project. The builder will then not have to mark up each requested change with a bond mark-up. ”The best pre-construction planning will greatly reduce the number and complexity of the unplanned items, but eliminating them is impossible."

Is that permitted? We are buying rolling stock and have a contract clause for grantee directed changes that provides that grantee will reimburse for the actual cost plus overhead and profit. It is intended for regulatory design changes (e.g. ADA, FRA) in the car that is being manufactured since it is very difficult to forecast what costs are involved in a redesign. In the contract provision, overhead and profit has a % cap. Overhead is subject to audit to ensure that they are not charging more overhead then they actually incur (but they cannot charge more than the stipulated cap), and profit is negotiated (but not to exceed the stipulated cap)."

( March 2016)A surety bond or surety is a promise by a surety or guarantor to pay one party (the obligee) a certain amount if a second party (the principal) fails to meet some obligation, such as fulfilling the terms of a contract.

Hello... and thank you in advanced for any help anyone can offer me I'm hoping someone can explain what the leading $ is/means (i.e. $PS1, $HOME, etc).... I was having a discussion with someone and was trying to explain it... Which I felt like I came up kind of short with how well I did it. I understand it's a special character and how to use it if I want to see the value of a variable or if I want to see the status of a command... I'm just unsure what kind of special character its categorized as or the definition of it's exact function. I got home and googled it... I found plenty of explanations on how to use it but didn't find an adequate explanation of what it is and it's definition. It seems like every special character is well documented except the $... Could someone explain to me how it's categorized and it's extract definition?

"text": "\"Architect's Responsibility and Liabilities: The New B141In this issue we continue our review of the 1997 changes to B141 beginning with a discussion of the changes to Architect's scope of services as they relate to the construction and post-construction phases of a project. We then turn to the new provisions of B141 as they relate to: responsibility for cost of construction; compensation; and the instruments of service. Scope of Services-- Construction and Post-Construction Phases Much has been said about the impact of the new B141 on the Architect's role during construction. While the earlier drafts of that form seemed to call for dramatic changes (i.e. \"\"the Architect shall supervise construction...\"\"), the final form does not substantially alter the Architect's role during the construction phase. Now the Architect is required to conduct \"\"evaluations of the Work\"\" rather than periodically observe the work. Those \"\"evaluations\"\" are to be provided at intervals appropriate to the stage of the \"\"contractor's operations.\"\" It is not the intent of the AIA to alter the nature of the services to be provided by the Architect during these site visits. Consequently, there are strong arguments that the scope of the Architect's responsibility toward the contractor's work has not changed. However, there is always the danger that the court will consider the change to have been for the purpose of changing the scope of the Architects' obligations discussed by those terms. To date we have not seen any decisions from the court interpreting these terms as a change from the Architect's traditional construction administrative services."

"text": "Article In this article, Architect and Construction Expert, Ronald P. Bertone FAIA, FACHA, NCARB provides an introduction to submittals and their importance in the construction process. Download the full article in PDFThe Importance of the Construction Submittal Process Submittals are those shop drawings, product data, samples, and mock-ups to be delivered to the design professional (the architect or engineer) for review and action as required by the contract documents. Various types of submittals are part of the construction process. These include action submittals, informational submittals, those furnished as part of project closeout, and those that are considered maintenance material. An important element of the submittal process is the preparation, review, and approval of shop drawings. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) defines shop drawings as follows: Shop drawings: Drawings, diagrams, schedules, and other data specifically prepared for the work by the contractor or a sub-contractor, manufacturer, supplier, or distributor to illustrate some portion of the work. The purpose of shop drawings is to enable the design professional to secure graphic representation from the general contractor as to how the installing contractor intends to complete a portion of the work, prior to proceeding, for which submittals are required. The submittal process begins for the design professional during the preparation of technical specifications. Identifying the types of submittals that are required within the project manual is just the beginning of the submittal process. Master guide specifications, along with manufacturer’s specifications may enumerate a list of submittals that could be furnished for each division of work."

"text": "Every construction contract includes warranties. Some warranties are written into the contract expressly, while other warranties are implied by law. Whether the warranty is express or implied, each warranty can lead to liability for a party to the contract if the warranty is breached in some way. This article will highlight some of the major warranties involved in construction contracting, with reference to those express warranties appearing in the AIA Document A201 – 2007 General Conditions of the Construction (“A201”). Express Warranties Call-Back Warranty: A201 Section 12.2.2.1When most construction lawyers hear the term “warranty” in a construction contract, invariably their mind goes immediately to the call-back warranty set forth in A201 § 12.2.2.1. This warranty provides the Owner with the opportunity to provide written notice to the Contractor that certain work does not conform to the contract documents and, per the contract, the Contractor is required to correct the nonconforming work. The nonconforming work must be discovered within one year of the date of Substantial Completion. Should the Contractor fail to correct the work within a reasonable time, then the Owner may correct the nonconforming work in the manner set forth in A201 § 2.4. The Owner may provide as many written notices as are necessary to cover all work that fails to meet the requirements of the contract documents. Indeed, to make sure that the Owner does not waive its rights of recovery, the Owner must provide multiple written notices even if the Contractor fails to perform corrective work for one notice."

The Level of Development (LOD) Specification is a reference that enables practitioners in the AEC Industry to specify and articulate with a high level of clarity the content and reliability of Building Information Models (BIMs) at various stages in the design and construction process. The LOD Specification utilizes the basic LOD definitions developed by the AIA for the AIA G202-2013 Building Information Modeling Protocol Form [1] and is organized by CSI Uniformat 2010 [2]. It defines and illustrates characteristics of model elements of different building systems at different Levels of Development. This clear articulation allows model authors to define what their models can be relied on for, and allows downstream users to clearly understand the usability and the limitations of models they are receiving. The intent of this Specification is to help explain the LOD framework and standardize its use so that it becomes more useful as a communication tool. It does not prescribe what Levels of Development are to be reached at what point in a project but leaves the specification of the model progression to the user of this document."

He was born to a slave father and a ‘‘free black’’ mother. Under the prevailing law, having been born to a ‘‘free black’’ mother, David Walker was born free. Despite his free status, accounts of his early years indicate a difficult existence as was the norm for African Americans during that time period. Eventually, Walker became an early member of the newly formed African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church—as a free black person, Walker was disallowed from worshipping in slave churches. In 1826, after traveling throughout the country and witnessing the brutality of slavery, Walker settled in Boston, Massachusetts, and opened a used clothing store. This enterprise would play a significant role during his abolitionist efforts. Further securing his place within the African-American elite in Boston, in 1826, Walker married Eliza Butler—a member of a prominent local family. David Walker began to publicly denounce southern slavery and northern racism. As such, he became the Boston agent for and frequently contributed to the nation’s first African American newspaper, Freedom’s Journal (a weekly paper published in New York City)."

"text": "Common Crimes Legal Language Services has set up a list of crimes and what each crime entails. This is by no means a complete list, merely a listing of the most commonly committed crimes. Some of the more involved crimes are accompanied with examples for clarification. Aiding and Abetting/Accessory – Aiding and abetting or accessory to a crime is when a person knowingly assists with the commitment of an actual crime, whether through their advice, actions, or financial backing. The person need not be present when the crime is actually committed to be charged with aiding and abetting or accessory, merely involved somehow in any part of the committed crime. If the person’s level of involvement in the crime is high enough, they could be charged with conspiracy rather than aiding and abetting or accessory. Example: Arthur lends Bobby his car, knowing full well that Bobby will be using the car as a getaway vehicle after Bobby robs a bank. Once Bobby has the stolen money, Arthur agrees to let him hide the money at his house. If Bobby is caught and charged with the robbery, Arthur could be charged with aiding and abetting, or acting as an accessory to the robbery. Arson – The laws of most states consider arson to be when a person intentionally sets fire to any structure or building, most commonly a house or business."

"text": "\"PRINCIPALWhoever commits an offense or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal; Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly performed by him or another would be an offense against the U. S., is punishable as a principal. ( 2) A person who designates another to act as their attorney in fact or agent. This word has several meanings. It is used in opposition to accessary, to show the degree of crime committed by two persons; thus, we say, the principal is more guilty than the accessary after the fact. In estates, principal is used as opposed to incident or accessory; as in the following rule: \"\"the incident shall pass by the grant of the principal, but not the principal by the grant of the incident. Accessorium non ducit, sed sequitur suum principale. \"\" It is used in opposition to agent, and in this sense it signifies that the principal is the prime mover. It is used in opposition to interest; as, the principal being secured tho interest will follow. It is used also in opposition to surety; thus, we say the principal is answerable before the surety. Principal is used also to denote the more important; as, the principal person."

"text": "Aiding and Abetting The legal term aiding and abetting refers to a person’s action to help, support, or approve of someone else’s illegal act. Aiding and abetting is a crime in itself, held against those who would somehow assist a criminal – short of physically contributing to the illegal act. In many jurisdictions, aiding and abetting is the same as an “accessory” to the crime. To explore this concept, consider the following aiding and abetting definition. Definition of Aiding and Abetting Noun The act of helping, encouraging, or supporting someone in the commission of a crime. Verb To actively encourage, to assist, or to support the commission of a criminal act. Origin of Abet1875-1325 Middle English abette What is Aiding and Abetting In order to deter people from helping criminals get away with their crimes, the law makes giving aid a crime in and of itself. A person may be charged with the crime of aiding and abetting, even though he was not present during, or did not physically assist with, the commission of the crime. Someone who aids and abets a crime may provide support by giving advice, financial support, or by taking action not directly related to the crime itself, for the purpose of facilitating its success. Example of Aiding and Abetting When Della’s boyfriend Rob, and his friend Steve, begin holding “private” meetings in the couple’s basement, she knows something is up."

Similar sounding, the only difference is in the use of letter a and e which makes all the difference as their meanings change completely and so does their usage. This is why many students make the mistake of using them incorrectly. This article intends to make the meanings of principal and principle clear once and for all. So, let us pay close attention to what each word means. What does Principal mean? To differentiate between principal and principle, kids are taught to remember the sentence ‘principal is my pal’ so that they always use this spelling when referring to the principal. Principal is a noun that means the chief person. However, this mnemonic device forgets that principal is also an adjective when it is used to mean main, chief or most important as in the following sentence. The principal reason behind my success was regular studies."

[ 1]: 725-804 A person is an accomplice of another person in the commission of a crime if they purpose the completion of a crime, and toward that end, if that person solicits or encourages the other person, or aids or attempts to aid in planning or committing the crime, or has legal duty to prevent that crime but fails to properly make an effort to prevent it. [ 2]Unlike attempt, solicitation, and conspiracy, which are crimes in and of themselves, complicity is not itself a crime, but is a way of committing a crime. [ 1]: 725 Complicity also differs from attempt, solicitation, and conspiracy in that it always depends on that crime having been completed, i.e., it is never inchoate. [ 1]: 725 Complicity does not require causation of the crime, merely participation in the commission of the crime. [ 3] In cases where one is complicit because of a failure to act when one has a duty to act to prevent a crime, complicity differs from omission in that liability for complicity arises from the relationship to other perpetrators, whereas liability for omission arises from a duty relationship to the victim.

Topside Adjustments to Quarterly Results At each of the first three fiscal quarters since 1995, CUC inflated its operating income by increasing revenues and/or decreasing expenses of its largest business unit, the Comp-U-Card division in Trumbull, Connecticut, without any valid basis. So-called ***“topside” entries were made by accounting personnel at corporate headquarters to increase accounts receivable and revenues, or to decrease accounts payable and expenses, even though (as these personnel acknowledged) there was ***no actual receivable supporting the entry giving rise to the revenues, and no actual reduction of a payable obligation to justify the reduced expense. *** The topside entries were not recorded on any general ledger, thereby creating a discrepancy between the adjusted figures and those reflected on the company’s actual books and records. For example, in the second quarter of 2002, Defendants Kaiser, Resnick, and Lee caused a series of “topside” entries to be made that increased USF’s promotional allowance income. Topside entries are ****manual entries in USF’s books and records that were made after the results generated by USF’s accounting systems had been aggregated****. By the end of the second quarter, such topside promotional allowance entries totaled more than $120 million and resulted in year-to-date promotional allowance income of approximately 7.10% of net sales. These incremental increases to USF’s promotional allowance income were made only after it was apparent that USF would fail to achieve operating earnings goals for the relevant periods, and such increases, among other topside entries, enabled USF to meet the earnings targets almost precisely. The second quarter topside entries were more than half of USF’s total operating income for the quarter. 6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 7 21."

An abettor differs from an accessory in that he must be present at the commission of the crime; all abettors are principals, and, in the absence of specific statutory provision to the contrary, are punishable to the same extent as the actual perpetrator of the offence. A person may in certain cases be convicted as an abettor in the commission of an offence in which he or she could not be a principal, e.g. a woman or boy under fourteen years of age in aiding rape, or a solvent person in aiding and abetting a bankrupt to commit offences against the bankruptcy laws. More recently, an abettor is generally known as an accomplice.

Keeping track of the principals alone feels as though it requires the focused memory of someone who can play bridge at a Warren Buffett level of adeptness. In a sense the series, which will span 10 episodes, ought to come with a warning like, “If you can’t count cards, please return to reruns of ‘ Sex and the City .’ ” Shot largely on location in the fields and hills of Northern Ireland and Malta, “Game of Thrones” is green and ripe and good-looking. Here the term green carries double meaning as both visual descriptive and allegory. Embedded in the narrative is a vague global-warming horror story. Rival dynasties vie for control over the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros — a territory where summers are measured in years, not months, and where winters can extend for decades. How did this come to pass?"

Photo: Mammoth Screen Ltd. I have to say, PBS has a way of bringing us some handsome and talented Irishmen. My proof? A few years back, it was Northern Ireland’s fabulous singer and actor Damian Mc Ginty, whom I love (and whose mailing list you should join, so you don’t miss out on future news of his tours and CDs, I’m just saying). And now, Masterpiece Theatre and PBS (and the BBC, which, by the way, #savethe BBC and #backthe BBC!) have blessed us again with another talented actor from the Emerald Isle. This time, it’s Dublin’s Aidan Turner in Poldark, a 2015 revival of an old PBS favorite: in the 1970s, Masterpiece produced the Winston Graham books into a much beloved series starring Robin Ellis in the title role (see my recent interview with Robin here ). I was delighted to have the chance to chat with Aidan earlier this week, just in time for the Poldark season one finale episodes airing on PBS this Sunday. Handsome but humble, gracious and grateful, from all appearances, in the twenty minutes we had together, he’s everything you’d hope he would be. Here’s the transcript of our chat."

By Money Morning Staff Reports, Money Morning • December 21, 2015The infamous young CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, Martin Shkreli, was arrested last Thursday for securities fraud. He stands accused of using money from another drug company he ran, Retrophin, to pay off debts owed by his failed hedge fund, MSMB Capital Management. Shkreli orchestrated a \"\"web of lies and deceit,\"\" U. S. Attorney Robert Capers said in a press conference on Dec. 17. \"\" His plots were matched only by efforts to conceal the fraud, which led him to operate his companies, including a publicly traded company, as a Ponzi scheme, where he used the assets of the new entity to pay off debts from the old entity. \"\" The 32-year-old has since posted $5 million in bail money. While Martin Shkreli's net worth granted him temporary release from jail, his fortune might not last…Martin Shkreli's Net Worth Right Now The Brooklyn-born entrepreneur has an estimated net worth of $100 million, according to Heavy.com on Dec. 17. But with a lawsuit pending, that amount stands to lessen rather quickly…Projections of Martin Shkreli's Net Worth Post-Arrest Shkreli was named as CEO of Kalo Bios Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: KBIO) on Nov. 20 after buying 2,075,200 common shares in the company. Word of his arrest caused share value to drop quickly. Shortly before being halted before 7 a.m. on Dec. 17 – the morning of Shkreli's arrest – Kalo Bios stock had plummeted 53% to $11.03 from $23.59: That's a $26.7 million loss for Shkreli's stake."

Here, the Labour MP Ian Cawsey, a member of the Commons home affairs select committee, defends the new Act while John Wadham, director of Liberty, the human rights organisation, outlines his criticism of the legislation. Ian Cawsey, Labour MP for Brigg and Goole The Terrorism Act 2000 became law on 19 February 2001 and provides legislation to deliver a modern, permanent, UK wide counter-terrorism framework. It replaces the current separate, temporary legislation for Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Terrorism is a cowardly and barbaric crime. The new Act gives new powers to combat the wide-ranging and evolving threats from terrorism, while at the same time it properly ensures that the rights of individuals are preserved. The main provisions of the Act are: Permanent and UK-wide. The definition of terrorism will apply to all forms of terrorism, not just international terrorism or acts linked to the affairs of Northern Ireland. The police will retain their current powers and have new powers to tackle terrorism financing and to seek the forfeiture of terrorist assets. Police applications for the extension of detention under the terrorist power of arrest will now be considered by a judge rather than by a minister."

S. President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clintonhad been “officially charged” in Egypt with aiding and abetting terrorists, namely Muslim Brotherhood operatives. Most iterations of the story insinuated or outright stated that despite the enormity of such a development, “mainstream media” outlets refused to cover it, and there was a deliberate campaign to bury the story. The rumor spread rapidly on social media sites, with some users speculating whether Obama and Clinton would be extradited to Egypt to face the purported charges. The claim was also frequently labeled with a “breaking” tag, leading many readers to believe that the story was recent to February 2015. One of the most popular iterations was titled “BOOM: Obama and Hillary Were Officially Charged With Aiding and Abetting Terrorists” and was published on 22 February 2015: The Egyptian government has charged President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with being accessories to terrorism. The charges stem from Obama and Clinton working with the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that Egypt has declared a terrorist group. The complaint against Obama names him as “an accessory to crimes committed by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. ”A second report, based on the first, made similar claims: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in big trouble this week as they face charges for aiding and abetting terrorism. According to Conservative Tribune, the Egyptian government has officially charged the dynamic duo with being accessories to terrorists."

Attorney’s Office September 22, 2011Northern District of California (415) 436-7200SAN JOSE, CA—A federal grand jury in San Jose indicted Christopher Doyon and Joshua John Covelli for conspiracy to cause intentional damage to a protected computer, and causing intentional damage to a protected computer and aiding and abetting, announced the United States Attorney’s office. The indictment alleges that Doyon, 47, of Mountain View, Calif., and Covelli, 26, of Fairborn, Ohio, participated in a Distributed Denial of Service (DDo S) attack against Santa Cruz County’s computer servers on Dec. 16, 2010, that caused Santa Cruz County’s website to go offline. A DDo S attack is an attempt to render computers unavailable to users by saturating the target computers or networks with external communication requests, thereby denying service to legitimate users.

"text": "Webster Dictionary (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Abettingof Abet Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Abetting Abettor, is a legal term implying one who instigates, encourages or assists another to commit an offence. An abettor differs from an accessory in that he must be present at the commission of the crime; all abettors are principals, and, in the absence of specific statutory provision to the contrary, are punishable to the same extent as the actual perpetrator of the offence. A person may in certain cases be convicted as an abettor in the commission of an offence in which he or she could not be a principal, e.g. a woman or boy under fourteen years of age in aiding rape, or a solvent person in aiding and abetting a bankrupt to commit offences against the bankruptcy laws. More recently, an abettor is generally known as an accomplice.

It involves a plan to commit a crime or to commit acts, the probable consequences of which are criminal. An accomplice may assist or encourage the main offender with the same intent to have the crime committed, but does not necessarily have to be present when the crime is actually committed.

"text": "Instructor: Amy Kasza Add to 1,568 views Like this lesson Share In the decades leading up to the Civil War, many northern states enacted personal liberty laws that protected runaway slaves from being returned to their owners. Discover how the roots of the Civil War included the battle between federal- and state-level legislation long before any guns were fired. When we think about how different two states can be from one another -- take modern-day Minnesota and Texas, for example -- it isn't hard to imagine how distinct cultures and attitudes gradually developed in the North and South after the founding of the United States. Over time, slavery became the hot-button issue that divided the two regions culturally and politically. In the first half of the 19th century, both sides attempted to resolve the growing tension through legislation. Individual states and the federal government passed laws that attempted to satisfy both slave-owners and those opposed to slavery, also known as abolitionists. Some laws passed by Northern states were a deliberate thumbing of the nose at Southern states, openly defying other legislation that required states to return runaway slaves to their owners. These laws enacted in a number of northern states were known as personal liberty laws, which protected runaway slaves and prevented their return to bondage in the South. Setting the Stage: Fugitive Slave Laws Article IV, Section 2, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution originally said that a slave who escaped into another state, regardless of the laws of that state, remained a slave and was required to be returned home. However, no consistent means of enforcing the law was provided."

"text": "\"What is Complicity or Accomplice Liability? Complicity is the act of helping or encouraging another individual to commit a crime. It is also commonly referred to as aiding and abetting. One who is complicit is said to be an accomplice. But, even though an accomplice does not actually commit the crime, his or her actions helped someone in the commission of the crime. The concept of accomplice liability means an accomplice faces the same degree of guilt and punishment as the individual who committed the crime. Indeed, accomplices can face the same penalties, including prison time. The key consideration is whether the individual intentionally and voluntarily encouraged or assisted in the commission of the crime, or (in some cases) failed to prevent it. See Find Law's Criminal Charges section for additional articles and resources. Elements of Accomplice Liability With some variations, depending onbthe state,ba prosecutor must be able to prove the following four elements in order to convict someone for being an accomplice or aiding and abetting: A crime was committed by another individual;The defendant \"\"aided, counseled, commanded, or encouraged\"\" the other person in the commission of the crime."

The law recognizes that, ordinarily, anything a person can do for himself may also be accomplished through direction of another person as an agent, or by acting together with, or under the direction of, another person or persons in a joint effort. So, if the acts or conduct of an agent, employee or other associate of the person are willfully directed or authorized by the person, or if the person aids and abets another person by willfully joining together with that person in the commission of a crime, then the law holds the person responsible for the conduct of that other person just as though the person had engaged in such conduct himself.x Notice, however, that before any person can be held criminally responsible for the conduct of others it is necessary that the person willfully associate himself in some way with the crime, and willfully participate in it. Mere presence at the scene of a crime and even knowledge that a crime is being committed are not sufficient to establish that a person either directed or aided and abetted the crime. Google+d"

"text": "Consumer Advisory: Student loan debt relief companies may cost you thousands of dollars and drive you further into debt By Rohit Chopra – DEC 11, 2014Share this Today we took action to put an end to two student loan debt relief scams that illegally tricked borrowers into paying upfront fees for federal loan benefits. In a joint filing with Florida’s Attorney General, we shut down student loan debt relief company College Education Services and, separately, we filed a lawsuit against Student Loan Processing. US for running illegal debt relief services. We allege that both companies exploited vulnerable student loan borrowers, made false promises about their debt relief services, and charged illegal upfront fees. We are warning all student loan borrowers who have trouble managing their student debt to watch out for scams run by companies promising “student debt relief.” These companies prey on distressed borrowers who run into trouble and struggle to figure out what comes next. In some cases, borrowers do not think their student loan servicers can help them and seek help from a third party. Others are lured in by aggressive marketing practices that target the most vulnerable student loan borrowers. In many cases, these companies promise thousands of dollars in savings on your student debt by falsely claiming special expertise or a relationship with the Department of Education, only to enroll you in a payment plan that’s available for free for all borrowers with federal student loans — all at a cost of hundreds of dollars or more. In other cases, these companies fail to deliver on their promises, leaving you with more debt and less time to avoid financial distress or default."

"text": "\"ADD TO FAVORITESDeferred Action for 'Dreamers': Advising DACA Students About Affording College By Angela D. Adams When the Development, Relief, and Education of Alien Minors (DREAM) Act initially was proposed in 2001, its purpose was, and still is, to confer lawful immigration status on certain individuals who entered this country as children and pursued a higher education degree or served in the U. S. military. The status conferred would depend on the level of education completed by the individual. Although the DREAM Act has never been passed into law by Congress, certain young immigrants who are enrolled in or have graduated from high school may now be eligible to apply for temporary relief called “deferred action.” The receipt of deferred action will potentially change the lives of an estimated 1.4 million undocumented youth currently living in the United States. Read the latest from Angela Adams on DACA and advising DREAMers in a new article, published June 12, 2017. What is Deferred Action? Under deferred action, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) exercises its prosecutorial discretion to forego immigration enforcement (deportation) against particular individuals for a specific period of time. Deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) provides for a two-year grant of deferred action to certain individuals who are not in lawful immigration status and entered the United States as minors. Unlike the previously proposed DREAM Act, DACA does not confer lawful immigration status upon recipients, nor does it provide a pathway to citizenship. Simply put, DACA recipients are eligible for work authorization, which allows them to be lawfully employed in the United States; to apply for social security numbers; and, depending on the state in which they live, possibly to obtain a driver’s license."

"text": "\"Bankruptcy Discharge of Student Loans Share History of the Non-Dischargeability of Student Loans The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (P. L. 109-8) adds an exception to discharge for qualified education loans, effective October 17, 2005. This allowed private student loan programs to be excepted from discharge even if they were not associated with a nonprofit organization. The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (P. L. 105-244) repealed the provision that allowed education loans to be discharged after 7 years in repayment, effective October 7, 1998. The Crime Control Act of 1990 (P. L. 101-647) increased the time before education loans could be discharged in bankruptcy from 5 years to 7 years, effective November 29, 1990. The Bankruptcy Amendments and Federal Judgeship Act of 1984 (P. L. 98-353) struck the words “of higher education” from “nonprofit institution of higher education” effective July 10, 1984. This allowed private student loans to be excepted from discharge if they were somehow associated with a nonprofit organization. An unnamed bill to amend the U. S. Bankruptcy Code (P. L. 96-56) modified the 5-year period before an education loan could be discharged in bankruptcy to exclude deferment and forbearance periods, effective August 14, 1979. The legislation also clarified that the exception to discharge applied to loans insured or guaranteed by a governmental unit in addition to loans made by a governmental unit. The Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (P. L. 95-598) established an exception to discharge for education loans made by the government or nonprofit institutions of higher education during the first 5 years in repayment, effective November 6, 1978. This legislation encoded a regulation that had been in effect since 1976."

"text": "3 Options to Consider if You Can’t Afford Your Student Loan Payment The U. S. Department of Education offers a number of affordable repayment options for borrowers who are struggling to pay back their student loans. The important thing to remember about all the options below is that it’s completely free to apply! Also, if you ever have questions or need FREE advice about your student loans, you can always contact your Department of Education loan servicer.1. Switch Your Repayment Plan You may be able to lower your monthly student loan payment by switching to a different repayment plan. Use this calculator to compare what your monthly payment amount could be if you switched your plan. If you don’t pick a different plan when entering repayment, you are automatically enrolled in the 10-year Standard Repayment Plan. However, many borrowers don’t realize that you can switch your plan at any time by contacting your loan servicer. One of the most popular options for borrowers who are looking to lower their payments is the income-driven repayment plans. We offer three income-driven repayment plans: Pay As You Earn Income-Based Income-Contingent Benefits: Your monthly payment will be a percentage of your income. Depending on the plan, that may be 10% or 15% of your discretionary income, or something else."

"text": "\"Return to FAA/Educators History of Student Financial Aid This page provides a summary of events affecting student financial aid, including key Federal legislation.2010 The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (P. L. 111-152) was passed by the House and Senate on March 25, 2010 along party lines and signed into law by President Obama on March 30, 2010. The bill eliminates the federally-guaranteed student loan program (FFELP), with all new federal education loans made through the Direct Loan program starting July 1, 2010. The savings are redirected to the Pell Grant program, deficit reduction, improvements in income-based repayment and a variety of smaller programs. Most of the Pell Grant funding was used to backfill a funding shortfall from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (stimulus bill) and to make permanent the increased maximum Pell Grant from that legislation. The rest of the Pell Grant funding indexes the maximum Pell Grant to the Consumer Price Index for five of the ten years, with the maximum Pell Grant unchanged for the remaining five years. The legislation cuts the monthly payment under income-based repayment by one third from 15% of discretionary income to 10% of discretionary income, and accelerates the loan forgiveness from 25 years to 20 years, but only for new borrowers of new loans made on or after July 1, 2014.2009 The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed by the House and Senate on February 13, 2009 largely along party lines. The bill includes a $500 increase in the maximum Pell Grant (discretionary funding) for 2009-10, a $700 increase in the Hope Scholarship tax credit from $1,800 to $2,500 for 2009 and 2010 (along with partial 40%/$1,000 refundability, an increase from 2 years to 4 years and expanded income phaseouts), $200 million in additional Federal Work-Study funding and $200 million in Ameri Corps funding.2008 Congress finally reauthorized the Higher Education Act of 1965 after more than a dozen extension acts. The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (PL 110-315) added numerous new disclosure requirements including the Student Loan Sunshine Act. Other significant changes include veterans' education benefits will no longer be treated as a resource starting in 2010-11, expands the cohort default rate from a two-year to a three-year window, establishes three new up-front loan forgiveness programs, requires education lenders to report repayment status information to all national consumer credit reporting agencies, authorizes a simplified EZ FAFSA form, requires standardization of the financial aid award letter, and softens the 90/10 rule .2008 Congress passed the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008 (P. L. 110-227), known as ECASLA, to help avert a crisis in the FFEL program. This legislation allows the US Department of Education to buy unemcumbered Stafford and PLUS loans originated from 10/1/03 to 9/30/09."

J., during a community service project Hunger in the United States is an issue that affects millions of Americans, [1] including some who are middle class, [2] or who are in households where all adults are in work. [ 2] Research from the USDA found that 14.9% of American households were food insecure during at least some of 2011, with 5.7% suffering from very low food security. [ 3] Journalists and charity workers have reported further increased demand for emergency food aid during 2012 and 2013. The United States produces far more food than it needs for domestic consumption - hunger within the U. S. is caused by some Americans having insufficient money to buy food for themselves or their families. Additional causes of hunger and food insecurity include neighborhood deprivation and agricultural policy. [ 4] [5] Hunger is addressed by a mix of public and private food aid provision. Public interventions include changes to agricultural policy, the construction of supermarkets in underserved neighborhoods, investment in transportation infrastructure, and the development of community gardens. [ 6] [7] [8] [9] Private aid is provided by food pantries, soup kitchens, food banks, and food rescue organizations. [ 1] [10] [11] Both public and private aid have been expanding in the 21st century, with hunger relief efforts by the government growing faster than aid provided by civil society. Historically, the U. S. has been a world leader in reducing hunger."

Hatfield on 02/20/2018Roosevelt's New Deal African Americans' New Deal Talmadge's Opposition Later New Deal Politics Georgia was helped perhaps as much as any state by the New Deal, which brought advances in rural electrification, education, health care, housing, and highway construction. The New Deal also had a particularly personal connection to Georgia; Warm Springs was U. S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt 's southern White House, where he met and worked with many different Georgians. From the 1920s and throughout the Great Depression, he saw firsthand the poverty and disease from which the state was suffering, and he approached its problems much as a Georgia farmer-politician would. At the same time, the state's conservative politicians, voicing fears that the New Deal would destroy traditional ways of life, fought tooth and nail against what they saw as government meddling in local affairs, and many of Georgia's political battles of the 1930s revolved around opposition to new federal programs. Roosevelt's New Deal After Franklin D. Roosevelt at Warm Springs he was stricken with polio, Roosevelt began visiting the therapeutic waters of Warm Springs in the mid-1920s to strengthen his paralyzed legs. He established the Warm Springs Foundation (later the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation ), and he became actively involved in the local community. Through Warm Springs, Roosevelt began to study the connections between Georgia's difficult agricultural conditions and its social and educational problems. His New Deal programs, begun immediately upon his inauguration in 1933 and aimed first at economic recovery, would ultimately address the nation's and Georgia's social conditions as well. By the time Roosevelt came to office, Georgia's farmers, in desperate straits from years of depression and low cotton prices, were echoing the demands of the 1890s Populists for government intervention in agricultural affairs. A New Deal relief worker along the Georgia coast reported, \"\"The school teachers, ministers, relief officials, and recipients alike stated that . . ."

But, thanks to congressional drug warriors, the punishments drug offenders face often extend far beyond the prison walls or the parole officer's office. A number of federal laws ostensibly aimed at reducing drug use block people with drug convictions from gaining access to federal benefits and services. These laws have a disproportionate impact on society's most vulnerable or marginalized members -- the poor, people of color, and women with children -- and in some cases, do not even require that a person actually be convicted of a drug offense to be punished. No conviction is needed to be evicted from public housing for drugs -- even someone else's. A growing number of groups and individuals ranging from the American Bar Association to welfare rights organizations, public health and addiction groups, drug reform organizations, and elected officials have called for changes in these laws or their outright repeal, saying they are cruel, inhumane, counterproductive, and amount to \"\"double jeopardy\"\" for drug offenders trying to become productive members of society. \"\" We feel that these laws are discriminatory and tend to focus on an illness as opposed to a crime,\"\" said Alexa Eggleston of the Legal Action Center, one of the key groups in the movement to adjust those laws. \"\" We also think that if you have a conviction, you should be able to serve your time and come out and resume your life. We say we want people to get sober, get treatment, get a job, get housing, but then we set up all these barriers and roadblocks that seem designed to stop them from moving forward. These lifetime bans are very destructive of people's ability to reintegrate into society and move forward with their lives as productive citizens. \"\"\"\""

Warning Signs From Abnormal Pap Smears to Pelvic Infections By Tracee Cornforth Updated February 16, 2018Share Pin Email Print Don Bayley/E+/Getty Images The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) weakens a person’s immune system by destroying the cells that fight disease and infection. The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), by extension, is a condition that can develop when HIV has caused serious damage to your immune system. While it's possible that a woman infected with HIV might display no symptoms, it's more typical that women infected with HIV will experience some subtle signs and symptoms that they may not realize are actually warning signs of the virus. The Three Most Common HIV Symptoms Experienced by Womenfrequent or severe vaginal infectionsabnormal Pap smearspelvic infections such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) that are difficult to treat If you experience any of these symptoms, you should make an appointment with your doctor to get tested. Other Symptoms of HIVOther signs and symptoms of HIV infection include:genital ulcersgenital wartssevere mucosal herpes infections Frequently, women exposed to HIV also experience flu-like symptoms within a couple of weeks of becoming infected. In other cases, there are no symptoms for many years. As the infection progresses, it is not uncommon to experience symptoms such as:swollen lymph glands in the neck, underarm area, or groinfrequent fevers that lead to night sweatsrapid weight loss without dietingconstant fatiguedecreased appetite and diarrheawhite spots or abnormal blemishes in the mouth Of course, all of these symptoms can also be indicators of other conditions. This is why it is so crucial that you schedule regular Pap smears and get regularly tested for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). How Can I Ensure I Get a Diagnosis Sooner Rather Than Later?"

"text": "\"Email Glossary Ask the Experts > Forum on Safe Sex and HIV Prevention > Q & AHow soon do hiv symptoms appear? Jun 28, 1996I have read conflicting information on hiv symptoms. Do most people show the severe flu type symptoms (high fever, cold night sweats) after the initial infection? And how soon do they appear after initial infection? It seems that I have also heard the most people show no symptoms at all after infection, so which is the truth? Or is it about a 50/50 chance the symptoms will appear? Response from Mr. Sowadsky When we're talking about symptoms, it's important to remember that there are actually 2 periods of time when one may show symptoms. Within the first few weeks after infection, some people with HIV show symptoms due to \"\"Acute Viral Syndrome\"\". This occurs during your bodies initial response against the virus. During this time, a person may show symptoms that look exactly like the flu (headaches, body aches, fevers, fatigue etc)."

When people talk about ‘HIV symptoms’ they are generally referring to the symptoms that appear soon (2 to 6 weeks) after a person is infected with HIV (as opposed to late AIDS symptoms which take years to develop). These symptoms are a result of the body mounting an immune response to the HIV infection, NOT due to the infection itself. That is why you find similar or identical symptoms with other infections. It is also commonly known as Acute-Retroviral Syndrome (ARS, ARVS), acute primary HIV illness, acute HIV syndrome and Acute Sero-Conversion Syndrome. HIV Symptoms are due to the immune system responding to the virus that is why many other infections can cause the same symptoms. What are the early symptoms of HIV infection? Because the whole body is reacting to fight off the virus, it is not surprising to find a variety symptoms affecting all bodily systems. General – Fever, Sweats, Lethargy, Malaise, swollen lymph nodes, weight loss Skin – Rash, ulcers , Sore throat Digestive – Nausea, Diarrhea, Loss of Appetite Neurological – Headache Musculo-Skeletal – Muscle aches, Joint aches Not everyone will develop all these symptoms. These symptoms can develop in varying combinations."

Studies have shown that a person living with HIV who is on regular antiretroviral therapy that reduces the virus to undetectable levels in the blood is NOT able to transmit HIV to a partner during sex. This page will be updated soon to reflect the medical consensus that “Undetectable = Untransmittable. ”According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 1.1 million people in the United States are living with HIV infection. Almost one in six of this group are unaware that they are infected. People often don’t have any noticeable symptoms at the time of HIV infection. Any symptoms they do have are unlikely to be recognized as being linked to HIV. When someone is diagnosed with HIV, this may change. They may be able to remember having flu-like symptoms near the time of their infection. However, at the time, they probably just thought they had the flu."

Visit the previous chapter on feline aids virus for information on the cause, the transmission, the incubation and the 3 stages of development of this common infectious cat disease.symptoms of fiv Feline AIDS symptoms may vary from cat to cat. These are the most common symptoms:phase 1Mild temperature Enlarged lymph nodes General malaise (out of sorts)phase 2Cat is asymptomatic (no symptoms)The virus becomes dormant The cat is not ill, but is capable of infecting other cats - it is a carrier of the virus and will be for lifephase 3The virus re-activates and destroys T-lymphocytes which are types of white blood cells needed for the proper functioning of the immune system. As the cat's immune system is suppressed, the cat is unable to fight infection. Feline AIDS symptoms in the chronic stage progress to: Gingivitis - an inflammation of the gums Stomatitis - an inflammation of the mucus membrane of the mouth, the tongue and lips Conjunctivitis - inflammation of the lining of the inner eyelids accompanied by a discharge Any wounds or sores do not heal Poor appetite and weight loss Persistent fever General fatigue The coat is dull and in poor condition with associated hair loss Gastroenteritis - inflammation of the stomach and intestines resulting in diarrhea and vomiting Anemia - a reduced number of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood Recurrent and chronic infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, the skin and eyes Neurological symptoms - severe seizures Tumors The virus is slow acting which means that from the time that the cat contracts the infection to the appearance of symptoms seen in the chronic stage of the disease can be months to several years.feline aids diagnosis Cat owners who suspect that their cat has been infected by feline aids virus or presents with feline aids symptoms should visit their veterinarian for a complete physical examination and blood tests. The veterinarian will make a diagnosis based on the medical history obtained from the cat owner. All feline AIDS symptoms will be evaluated to assist in determining a diagnosis. To confirm the diagnosis the vet will obtain a blood sample from the cat for an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test. This blood test will identify the presence of feline immunodeficiency virus antibodies, which indicates that the cat has been exposed to the cat disease."

AIDS is caused by an infection with the human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ). Over time, HIV infection destroys the helper T cells of the body's immune system, resulting in a critical deterioration of the immune system and the ability of the body to fight infection. Advanced HIV infection is called AIDS. AIDS is frequently a sexually transmitted disease. HIV which causes ADIS is most often passed from one person another during sexual contact that involves vaginal, oral, or anal sex. HIV can also be passed to another person through other means, such as through contact with blood or body fluids."

For many people, the first early symptoms of HIV infection are large lymph nodes or \"\"swollen glands\"\" that may be enlarged for more than three months. Other symptoms often experienced months to years before the onset of AIDS include: Lack of energy Weight loss Frequent fevers and sweats Persistent or frequent yeast infections (oral or vaginal)Persistent skin rashes or flaky skin Pelvic inflammatory disease (in women) that does not respond to treatment Short-term memory loss. Some people develop frequent and severe herpes infections that cause mouth, genital, or anal sores, or a painful nerve disease called shingles. Children may grow slowly or be sick a lot. Early Symptoms of HIV Turning to AIDSThe term AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) applies to the most advanced stages of HIV infection. The definition of AIDS includes all HIV-infected people who have fewer than 200 CD4+ T cells per cubic millimeter of blood. ( Healthy adults usually have CD4+ T-cell counts of 1,000 or more.) ("

Contents [ hide]HIV and the immune system The phases of untreated HIV infection Primary infection Chronic infection Stopping the slide HIV and the immune system Your immune system is supposed to protect you from viruses and other infections. Why, then, doesn’t it protect you from HIV? The answer is complicated, but essentially, it’s because HIV destroys CD4 cells, which direct the response of the immune system. This destruction of CD4 cells (and a number of other processes that we are gradually learning more about) prevents the immune system from working properly. Eventually, if HIV infection is left untreated, your immune system becomes too damaged to defend against life-threatening infections and cancers. The number of CD4 cells in your bloodstream—your CD4 count—is one of the most important measures of immune strength for people with HIV. In the past, we painted a fairly straightforward picture of HIV infection: HIV infects and destroys CD4 cells, causing CD4 counts to drop as a result. We now realize that this description of events is oversimplified. It’s true that HIV infects and kills CD4 cells directly."

HIV is a virus that damages the immune system. The immune system helps the body fight off infections. Untreated HIV infects and kills CD4 cells, which are a type of immune cell called T cells. Over time, as HIV kills more CD4 cells, the body is more likely to get various types of infections and cancers. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids that include:bloodsemenvaginal and rectal fluidsbreast milk The virus doesn’t spread in air or water, or through casual contact. HIV is a lifelong condition and currently there is no cure, although many scientists are working to find one. However, with medical care, including treatment called antiretroviral therapy, it’s possible to manage HIV and live with the virus for many years. Without treatment, a person with HIV is likely to develop a serious condition called AIDS."

From a painless red rash after initial HIV infection to dark purple blotches that signify life-threatening cancer related to AIDS, many different HIV-associated skin conditions are possible. HIV doesn’t always produce symptoms, however, and for this reason, it is important that you be tested if you think you might have been exposed. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Rash and Ulcers of New HIV Infection A new, or acute, HIV infection does not always produce symptoms, let alone skin symptoms. When symptoms do occur around 2 to 8 weeks after infection, they may resemble mononucleosis, or mono, with fever and extreme tiredness or malaise. During this acute viral illness, skin symptoms may occur, including the following: -- A red rash: According to \"\"Dermatology,\"\" a text by Otto Braun-Falco and colleagues, the appearance of this rash tends to look like other viral rashes rather than specify an HIV infection; it's more commonly found on the trunk than on the limbs and appears as flat red areas with or without small bumps. -- Less commonly, ulcers on the mouth and genitals may be associated with the new HIV infection. Warts and Raised Patches After the initial symptoms of HIV infection disappear, the virus enters a period called latency during which it replicates but causes no major symptoms. This stage of HIV lasts about 10 years unless treatment is received, in which case latency continues indefinitely.

Symptoms may appear anywhere in the body where these systems and related organs are present. In the initial stages of AIDS, fluids start leaving the body and the constitution may start drying up and give a withered look. The glands (particularly liver) may begin to enlarge (but not always) and tend to become hypo functional. As the disease progresses, the muscles tend to shrink and the body tends to thin out.

By Roger Pebody From The Body November 4, 2015Every single symptom that is associated with HIV infection looks like a symptom of other illnesses -- in fact, a huge range of other illnesses. It's impossible to tell by someone's symptoms alone whether the problem is related to HIV/AIDS or another medical condition. Also, it's important to understand that there's a big difference between the symptoms of recent HIV infection and the symptoms of advanced HIV, also known as AIDS. Recent HIV Infection During the first few weeks after HIV infection, some people may briefly have some of the following symptoms: sore throat, muscle and joint aches and pains, rashes, chills, night sweats, headaches, feeling generally unwell, mouth ulcers, weight loss, tiredness and swollen glands. The same symptoms could be caused by many other infections, including influenza, mononucleosis, strep throat, rubella, herpes viruses, shingles and toxoplasmosis. Following this short period, most people have no symptoms for several years. Advertisement Advanced HIV Disease (AIDS)If a person with HIV has not received antiretroviral treatment, several years following their infection their immune system may be so severely weakened that it cannot fight off other infections and diseases. This stage is known as advanced HIV disease, or AIDS. It is completely preventable and does not occur in people who take effective antiretroviral treatment."

They’re responsible for keeping you healthy from common diseases and infections. As HIV gradually weakens your natural defenses, signs and symptoms will occur. Find out what happens when the virus enters your body and interrupts its systems. Once the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) enters your body, it launches a direct attack on your immune system. How quickly the virus progresses will vary by your age, overall health, and how quickly you’re diagnosed. The timing of your treatment can make a huge difference. HIV targets the type of cells that would normally fight off an invader like HIV. As the virus replicates, it damages or destroys the infected CD4+ cell and produces more virus to infect more CD4+ cells."

With the earliest incidents allegedly taking place in the mid-1960s, Cosby has been accused by numerous women of rape, drug facilitated sexual assault, sexual battery, child sexual abuse, or sexual misconduct. Assault allegations against Cosby became more public after an October 2014 comedy routine by comedian Hannibal Buress alluding to Cosby's covert sexual misbehavior went viral, and many additional claims were made after that date. The dates of the alleged incidents span from 1965 to 2008 across 10 U. S. states and one Canadian province. [ 1] [2] [3]Cosby has maintained his innocence and repeatedly denied the allegations. In November 2014, in response to a question about the allegations, Cosby said: \"\"I don't talk about it\"\". [ 4]Cosby has declined to publicly discuss the accusations in past interviews.

Could AIG Be David Boies’ Crowning Achievement? On April 22, David Boies made his closing argument on behalf of Maurice Greenberg, the insurance magnate suing the U. S. government for as much as $40 billion in damages stemming from the September 2008 bailout of Greenberg’s faltering former company, American International Group. AIG’s soured bets on the housing market had led the insurer to the precipice of insolvency, which might have set off a global depression. In return for an emergency $85 billion loan, AIG’s board agreed to turn over 80 percent of the company’s equity to the government. But Greenberg and fellow shareholders never had a chance to vote on the rescue—which, Boies told Judge Thomas Wheeler of the U. S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, contributed to an unconstitutional abuse of AIG shareholders. Given the urgency of AIG’s imminent failure, Judge Wheeler asked, couldn’t the board act on shareholders’ behalf? No, Boies responded. He reminded Wheeler of internal memos produced earlier in the trial that showed members of the AIG board deliberately cutting Greenberg out of the decision to accept the government’s terms. The reason?"

"text": "\"Home > Life Insurance 101 > Compare Product Options > Term vs Whole Term vs. Whole Life Insurance Information Term Life Insurance vs Whole Life Insurance: Learn About the Differences Life insurance is an important component of long-term financial planning. While the loss of a loved one is emotionally devastating, life insurance helps ensure that the financial loss doesn't worsen the tragedy. What type of life insurance is best for you, though? For many individuals, the question boils down to choosing term life insurance vs. whole life insurance, or some other type of permanent life insurance. Both term life insurance and whole life insurance pay a death benefit free from federal income tax 1 when the insured person dies while the policy is in effect. Let's examine the differences between them. Term Life: Coverage for a Specified Time Term life insurance provides coverage for a pre-defined period of time and premiums can be fixed for that period. Depending on the specifics of the policy, the death benefit may stay the same for as long as 30 years. Whole Life: Protection for a Lifetime Whole life insurance can span the individual's entire life and may offer cash value and can be \"\"permanent\"\" if the premiums are paid on time as required. The same is true of universal life insurance, another type of permanent life insurance which provides flexible premium features."

Many of us choose to buy insurance from the largest insurers because it gives us piece of mind. The more money our insurance company has, the better the odds they’ll be able to pay our insurance claims if anything goes wrong. [ Compare rates from the leading car insurance companies in your area . ] This line of thinking isn’t necessarily wrong, but it should be no surprise that insurance companies, in general, are typically financially sound. Admitted insurers financials, those licensed to conduct business in any particular state by individual state departments of insurance, are heavily scrutinized to ensure they remain solvent. It is very difficult to operate an insurance company in a manner that might lead to an inability to pay claims…although it has happened from time to time. Furthermore, large insurers are not free from financial woes. Does anyone remember AIG’s financial problems in 2008? They were one of the largest American insurance companies out there…and almost lost it all."

"text": "\"A AHow to claim an unclaimed life-insurance policy The average unclaimed life benefit is $2,000Consumer Reports magazine: February 2013At least $1 billion in benefits from misplaced or forgotten life-insurance policies are waiting to be claimed by their owners. The odds that you’re one of them are 1 in 600, more favorable than your chance of winning $100 on a Powerball ticket. And although you can’t expect a million-dollar jackpot—the average unclaimed life benefit is $2,000—some payouts have been as high as $300,000. The big stash results from a quiet death-benefit dodge. Auditors in California, Florida, New York, and other states found that life insurers were using Social Security’s Death Master File to identify annuity owners who had died so that they could stop making payments to them. But they weren’t checking it to find deceased policyholders and pay their beneficiaries. Worse, when premium payments stopped after policyholders died, insurers often used the policies’ cash value to continue the payments until the cash was depleted, California’s state controller found. Six major insurers—AIG, Forethought, John Hancock, Met Life, Nationwide, and Prudential—have agreed to search for dead policyholders and beneficiaries more diligently. And other carriers are being investigated. Searching for a lost policy Start simple."

But will it float, figuratively, that is? Will the organization behind the massive wooden structure – the same outfit that created the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky. – get the million visitors or more that are predicted to visit the Ark Encounter in the small burg of Williamstown in Grant County? And what will it do to – or for – that community in the coming months and years? The Enquirer interviewed dozens of officials, experts and officials from Answers in Genesis (AIG), which is building the $92 million ark, to get some answers. What is the Ark Encounter and when will it open? The Ark Encounter is a full-sized replica of Noah’s Ark, as described in the book of Genesis in the Bible. It is being built using the dimensions specified in cubits. Which could have been problematic given that more than 20 different versions of a cubit exist – though it was was originally the distance from a thumb to the elbow."

[ 1] Often, this involves radical changes to a brand's logo, name, legal names, image, marketing strategy, and advertising themes. Such changes typically aim to reposition the brand/company, occasionally to distance itself from negative connotations of the previous branding, or to move the brand upmarket; they may also communicate a new message a new board of directors wishes to communicate. Rebranding can be applied to new products, mature products, or even products still in development. The process can occur intentionally through a deliberate change in strategy or occur unintentionally from unplanned, emergent situations, such as a \"\" Chapter 11 corporate restructuring,\"\" \"\" union busting ,\"\" or \"\" bankruptcy .\"\" Rebranding can also refer to a change in a company/ corporate brand that may own several sub-brands for products or companies.

The rebranding of Philip Morris to Altria was done to help the company shed its negative image. Other rebrandings, such as the British Post Office 's attempt to rebrand itself as Consignia, have proved such a failure that millions more had to be spent going back to square one. In a study of 165 cases of rebranding, Muzellec and Lambkin (2006) found that, whether a rebranding follows from corporate strategy (e.g., M&A) or constitutes the actual marketing strategy (change the corporate reputation), it aims at enhancing, regaining, transferring, and/or recreating the corporate brand equity.

Even though the insurance company has grown its book value fairly steadily since 2011, has deployed significant amounts of capital to buy back shares and initiated a quarterly dividend, investors still don't like to get exposure to one of the largest insurance companies in the country. Why? American International Group always ran healthy insurance companies in the property- and casualty and Life business and both subsidiaries were solidly profitable throughout the financial crisis. In fact, the 2008 bailout was precipitated by AIG's Financial Products division which pretty much acted like a hedge fund and sold wheelbarrows full of credit default swaps. CDS are hedging instruments which were largely bought by other financial institutions in order to mitigate bond default risk, but which were pumped up as AIG's cash cow without properly reserving for the underlying risks. Long story short: AIG was on the brink of implosion because of its Financial Products division not because of its insurance subsidiaries. AIG ultimately hired Chief Executive Officer Benmosche, got recapitalized and sold off non-core assets (ALICO, its stake in Asian insurance giant AIA and airplane leasing unit ILFC). Return to stability and book value growth-Thanks to Robert Benmosche Source: Company Truth be told, a large part of American International Group's recovery is attributable to CEO Robert H. Benmosche who aggressively moved to recapitalize the company, repaid the bailout funds with a profit and returned the company to growth. More importantly, he gave the company a perspective."

[ 3] Tyler and Leavey had both grown up with rural backgrounds and believed that farmers and ranchers, who had better driving rates than urbanites, deserved lower insurance premiums. [ 3] [4] [5] During the 1920s, farmers across the United States were establishing their own mutual insurance firms and cooperatives in order to have less expensive policies. Tyler, the son of a South Dakotan insurance salesman, and Leavey, who had formerly worked for the Federal Farm Loan Bureau and the National Farm Loan Association, recognized that these farmers, ranchers, and other rural drivers were an overlooked market and wished to create their own auto insurance firm.

"text": "By Byron Udell | September 15, 2008AIG has been in the news a lot recently. If you have an American General (part of AIG) policy, should you be concerned? For answers, read on. If you hold a life insurance policy from American General (an AIG subsidiary) and you’ve been paying attention to the news, it’s completely understandable as to why you might be feeling a bit anxious.

I'm talking about 'Quilt World Omnibook'; 'Quilt World', 'Stitch'n'Sew Quilts', even the 'Quilters Newsletter' and 'American Quilter Society reference materials'. I have been scanning most of these magazines and saving them in PDF format. Most of the pictures are in black and white and the background fabric is usually muslin or white cotton.

She asks how we can explain recent shifts across the continent, and what a focus on Africa adds to our broader understanding of women in politics. Aili Mari Tripp is the Professor of Political Science and Gender & Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. One of the most fascinating developments in African politics has been the increase in women’s political participation since the mid 1990s. Women are becoming more engaged in a variety of institutions from local government, to legislatures, and even the executive. Today, Africa is a leader in women’s parliamentary representation globally. African countries have some of the world’s highest rates of representation: Rwanda claimed the world’s highest ratio of women in parliament in 2003 and today Rwandan women hold 64% of the country’s legislative seats. In Senegal, Seychelles and South Africa, more than 40% of parliamentary seats are held by women, while in Mozambique, Angola, Tanzania and Uganda over 35% of seats are occupied by women. By contrast, women in the US women hold 18% of the seats in the House and 20% in the Senate. The parliamentary patterns are evident in other areas as well."

"text": "Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE at Stage Door Theatreby Carol Kassie Dec. 11, 2017 Tweet Share Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller - not necessarily household names in today's pop music or theatrical worlds. But for decades - especially from the mid 1950's to the mid 1960's - Leiber and Stoller were one of America's most successful songwriting teams. Stage Door Theatre will honor this iconic duo when they present Smokey Joe's Café - The Songs of Leiber and Stoller, a compendium of some of their greatest hits, in the popular Margate venue's intimate Theatre 2 from December 15th through January 14th. Broadway World has a sneak peek at the cast in character below!Lieber and Stoller wrote together for over 60 years, creating enduring classics in a variety of genres including R & B, Pop, Jazz, Cabaret, and most notably, Rock & Roll. Among those who recorded their songs were Ben E. King ('Stand By Me', 'I (Who Have Nothing)', 'Spanish Harlem'), The Drifters ('There Goes My Baby', Dance With Me', 'On Broadway'), and the Coasters ('Searchin', 'Young Blood', Yakety Yak', 'Charlie Brown'). Elvis Presley recorded over 20 Lieber and Stoller songs, including some of his greatest hits: 'Hound Dog', 'Jailhouse Rock', 'Loving You', 'Santa Clause is Back in Town', 'She's Not You', and 'Treat Me Nice' were all their compositions. Smokey Joe's Café features 39 Leiber and Stoller songs - some of their greatest, instantly recognizable hits, along with a few that won't be quite as familiar, but are nonetheless fine examples of the duos' extraordinary talent and versatility. Director and choreographer Kevin Black 's cast includes Kat Gold, Stephanie Lo Verde, Austin Rivers, Andre Russell, Michael Schneider, Charisse Shields, Aili Venho, and Nethaneel Williams. Smokey Joe's Café Musical Director is Michael Friedman, and the Technical Director is Paul O'Donnell. Lighting Design is by Ardean Landhuis, Set Design is by Michael Mc Clain, and Costume Design is by Jerry Sturdefant."

Aili, of Ray, Minnesota, and his team were taking a break at the Nikolai, Alaska, checkpoint. Photo: Al Grillo/AP Wide World The Iditarod Trail Sled-Dog Race is a test of endurance and a battle against the elements. But too many dogs are failing the test and losing the battle, say animal-rights activists. \"\" Since 1973, there have been roughly 120 dog deaths,\"\" says Stephanie Shain, spokesperson for Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) in Washington, D. C. Shain argues that the speeds at which dogs are forced to race lead to a variety of injuries, including pulled tendons, cut paws, dehydration, and heat stress. According to the HSUS, during the past decade alone, dogs have died from heart failure, pneumonia, and sled accidents. But three-time Iditarod champion Jeff King argues that he and his fellow mushers are well-trained and well-prepared to spot warning signs so that tragedies don’t happen. Hunter Solomon, 9, watches as veterinarian Dr. Ron Svec of Dummerstom, Vermont, checks out a sled dog at the Kaltag checkpoint during last year's Iditarod. ( Al Grillo/AP Wide World)“In the event a dog is injured or fatigued, our rules require, and basic dog care deems, that we give the dog a ride or we stop,” says the veteran musher. “"

It consists of 5 letters and 2 syllables and is pronounced Al-ice. The Given Name Alice The name Alice is a form of an Old French spelling of a greatly contracted version of the German name Adalheidis (possibly Adalheidis to Adelaide to Adeliz to Alice or Adalheidis to Adelais to Aalis to Alice). Alice was considered a distinct name when it was revived in the 19th century. The name is derived from the Germanic elements adel meaning \"\"noble\"\" and heid meaning \"\"kind or sort\"\". The name became popular through the books of Lewis Carrol, \"\"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland\"\" (1865) and \"\"Alice Through the Looking Glass\"\" (1872).

Compare those plans here. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed comprehensive health reform, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, into law. The following summary of the law, and changes made to the law by subsequent legislation, focuses on provisions to expand coverage, control health care costs, and improve health care delivery system. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P. L. 111-148)Overall approach to expanding access to coverage Require most U. S. citizens and legal residents to have health insurance. Create state-based American Health Benefit Exchanges through which individuals can purchase coverage, with premium and cost-sharing credits available to individuals/families with income between 133-400% of the federal poverty level (the poverty level is $19,530 for a family of three in 2013) and create separate Exchanges through which small businesses can purchase coverage. Require employers to pay penalties for employees who receive tax credits for health insurance through an Exchange, with exceptions for small employers. Impose new regulations on health plans in the Exchanges and in the individual and small group markets. Expand Medicaid to 133% of the federal poverty level. INDIVIDUAL MANDATERequirement to have coverage Require U. S. citizens and legal residents to have qualifying health coverage."

"text": "\"Back to Encyclopedia Health Insurance Definition: A policy that will pay specified sums for medical expenses or treatments. Health policies can offer many options and vary in their approaches to coverage. Two questions small-business owners face when considering health insurance are \"\"What kind of benefits should I buy?\"\" and \"\"How much should I pay?\"\" Regarding the first, buy the benefits that will protect you, your employees and your families in case of emergency. Regarding the second, it depends on your age (and your employees' ages), gender, and whether families will be considered. Choosing the most suitable and cost-effective selection of medical benefits can be time consuming. A workforce that's married with children will have considerably different needs, such as maternity and dental coverage, than groups of single workers. People who work outdoors or workers who spend their days at a computer may prefer an optical program for eye care, safety glasses and sunglasses. Take a look at your workforce to determine: How many workers fall into each age group How many heads of households there are Where your workers live How big their families are Any other pertinent information that could affect your decision, such as the type of work they do Your medical insurance costs may be determined solely on the basis of your company's experience, such as the aggregate number and dollar value of claims submitted by your employees."

"text": "Special Article Administrative Costs in U. S. Hospitals Steffie Woolhandler, David U. Himmelstein, and James P. Lewontin Article Figures/Media14 References 42 Citing Articles Letters Abstract Background Previous estimates of administrative costs in U. S. hospitals have been based on figures for California, and nationwide extrapolation has been controversial. If the costs of bureaucracy are high, major policy reforms may yield substantial savings. Methods We obtained detailed data on hospital expenses for fiscal year 1990 from reports submitted to Medicare by 6400 hospitals. We calculated each hospital's administrative costs by summing expenses in the following Medicare cost-accounting categories: administrative and general, nursing administration, central services and supply (excluding the purchase cost of supplies), medical records and library, utilization review, and the salary costs of the employee benefits department. We classified costs in most other categories as clinical. Some small categories of expenses (e.g., gift shop) were excluded from both our clinical and administrative groupings, and for others (e.g., plant operations), a proportional share was allocated between the two groupings. Results Nationwide, administration accounted for an average of 24.8 percent of each hospital's spending in fiscal 1990. Average hospital administrative costs ranged from 20.5 percent in Minnesota to 30.6 percent in Hawaii. Administrative salaries accounted for 22.4 percent of the average hospital's salary costs. Administrative costs were similar in states with high and low rates of enrollment in health maintenance organizations (HMOs)."

"text": "Home > Insurance Twitter Facebook Linkedin Google Plus Buy Reprints Print Article Email this page to a colleague Comment Covered at no cost Some employers still pay the full health premium By Ashok Selvam | September 29, 2012The health insurance coverage offered to employees at Black River Memorial Hospital gives the 21-bed facility in Wisconsin, two hours east of Minneapolis, an advantage when it comes to recruiting. “ I get pressure from some of my counterparts at other facilities,” says Holly Winn, the hospital's vice president of ancillary services and human resources. “ They say: 'Somebody applied down there, and I hear that your employees don't pay anything toward their health insurance. How do you do that?' ” Black River's employees don't make any contribution toward the premium for their health insurance, for both single and family coverage. While the hospital pays 100% for health coverage, it does require cost-sharing for dependent long-term care insurance and dependent life insurance. The hospital covers less than 25% of those premiums, which tend to be less costly. Winn says the hospital's premium policy was revised in 2000, when Black River implemented a “cafeteria plan” for benefits, which treats all employees more equally. If employees decline health insurance, for instance, they could select another benefit. Employees with single coverage have a $750 deductible, with a copayment limit of $2,250."

"text": "\"For an increasing number of companies, voluntary accident insurance plans, or supplemental accident insurance plans, now play a key role in rounding out benefits packages. It complements important protection like medical and disability insurance to help employees pay for unexpected costs. Voluntary accident insurance can be an important piece to your benefits package Your employees are your greatest asset. Offering them the best benefits package you can afford will help attract and keep the workforce you want by providing a way to prepare for life's risks. Group rates make supplemental health insurance like accident insurance affordable - whether offered on an employer-paid, or voluntary basis where employees pay 100% of the cost. Employers struggling with budget constraints find that voluntary accident insurance is a smart way to offer benefits that meet their employees' needs, without increasing costs to the bottom line. Despite having medical and disability insurance, many people are simply not prepared to pay all of the expenses that come with their injuries. Supplemental accident insurance is an affordable way for your employees to help protect themselves from costs that aren't covered by these more traditional plans.

It could be argued that the road to statehood began in 1835 when the first commercial production of sugar cane began. King Kalakaua, called the Merry Monarch, came to the throne in 1874. During his reign, sugar cane became a dominant industry. Most of the sugar cane crop was shipped to the United States, especially San Francisco. This was good for American businessmen, but... American businessmen were nervous about nations in Europe and their eagerness to add Hawaii to their empires. They looked to the United States government for help and security and in 1875, a treaty of reciprocity was negotiated with the Kingdom of Hawaii, leading the way to an influx of American investment. In 1891, King Kalakaua died. His sister, Liliuokalani, assumed the throne. Queen Liliuokalani tried to create a new constitution that would increase her power and change the balance of political power in the kingdom."

The first element, ei- is derived either from the older Proto-Norse *aina (z), meaning \"\"one, alone, unique\"\", [1] as in the form Æinrikr explicitly, or from *aiwa (z) \"\"long time, eternity\"\". [ 2] The second element -ríkr stems either from *ríks \"\"king, ruler\"\" (cf. Gothic reiks) or from the therefrom derived *ríkijaz \"\"kingly, powerful, rich\"\". [ 3] The name is thus usually taken to mean \"\"sole ruler, autocrat \"\" or \"\"eternal ruler, ever powerful\"\". [ 4]It is a common name in many Western societies. It is also a popular given name for women in Japan (even though its origin has nothing in common with the Nordic roots of the Western version). Erica is also the name of a genus of approximately 860 species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae, commonly known as \"\"heaths\"\" or \"\"heathers\"\" in English, and is the Latin word for \"\"heather\"\".

"text": "Preparing for Baby128 Unisex Baby Names Gender-Neutral Baby Names for Boys or Girls By Robin Elise Weiss, Ph DUpdated February 12, 2018Share Pin Email Print Photo © Tafari K. Stevenson-Howard/Getty Images A unisex baby name is a name that can be used for a boy or a girl. You may also hear people refer to them as gender-neutral baby names. Unisex Names Have Become More Common Some names have historically been mainly used for boys, but are now used more commonly for girls, like Leslie or Whitney. Some names are for either sex, but you can usually tell which based on the spelling. For instance, Sidney (boy) and Sydney (girl). There are also names that you really can't guess unless you know for sure or the child has a middle name that's obviously male or female. Parents choose unisex baby names for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes it's a family name or a name that they like. Other times it's a name that goes well with the family name or a preferred middle or first name. Unisex Names for Babies Here are 128 gender-neutral names: Addison Adrian Ainsley Alex Andy Angel Ashley Ashton Aubrey Avery Bailey Bevan Blair Bobby Brett Brooke Bronwyn Cameron Carson Casey Cassidy Charlie Chris/Kris Dakota Dallas Dana Darby Dawson Devon Drew Eden Ellis Emery/Emory Emerson Erin Finley Francis/Frances Gene/Jean Gillian/Jillian Greer Hayden Harlow Harper Holland Hunter Indigo Jaden/Jayden Jackie/Jaqui Jamie/Jayme Jan Jesse Joe Jody Jordan Journey Julian Justice Kai Keegan Keely Keelan Kei Keith/Keath Kelly Kelsey Kendall Kennedy/Kennedi Kensley Kerry/Carrie Kevin Kieran Kiley Kim/Kym Kyle Lane Lee/Leigh Leslie/Lesley Logan Loren Macey/Macy Madison Marley Marlow Merritt Michael Micky Montana Morgan Nevada Nico Owen Paris Parker Pat Peyton/Payton Phoenix Piper Quinn Rayne/Rain Regan Rene/Renee Reese Riley Robin Rory Rowan Ryan Sage Sasha Scout Shae Shannon Sloan/Slone Skylar Sydney/Sidney Shawn Storm Tate Tatum Taylor Tony/Toni Tory Tracy Trinity Tristan Vick Wesley Whitney Names With Meaning Modern baby names take on many forms."

"text": "CANCERImmunotherapy drug sustains father of 5 living with stage 4 bladder cancer By Melinda Carstensen Published June 01, 2016 Fox News Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Kevin Williamson with his wife, Marcia, and their five children: Aidan, 20, Seth 18, who are adopted, Riley, 18, Mitch, 15, and Ainsley, 11. ( Courtesy the Williamson family)Kevin Williamson has coached every one of his five children’s basketball teams, but in recent years, stage 4 bladder cancer has forced him to sit on the sidelines. Now, he’s back on the court— coaching his only daughter’s team— thanks in large part to an immunotherapy drug that has shrunk his tumors and stopped them from spreading further. ADVERTISEMENT“I’m a walking, breathing stage 4 cancer patient,” Williamson, 47, the president of a mortgage company, told Fox News.com. Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the United States, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved a new drug for advanced stages of the disease in the past 30 years. However, in mid-May, the agency granted accelerated approval of the drug that’s sustaining Williamson’s life, TECENTRIQ, which works by re-gearing the immune system to eradicate cancer cells. Part of an emerging class of cancer drugs, TECENTRIQ is an immunotherapy, which generally cause fewer side effects than chemotherapy because they target only diseased cells. An ongoing clinical trial suggests TECENTRIQ has reduced about 15 percent of 311 patients’ tumors by at least 30 percent. Williamson, who lives in Wheaton, Illinois, about 30 miles west of Chicago, was diagnosed with bladder cancer in March 2013 after experiencing unbearable gas. He didn’t have a family history of bladder cancer and doesn’t smoke, which doctors say is the biggest risk factor for the disease."

Duncan said that studies have shown that students do better if they start their school day rested and that while a later start time could be problematic for bus schedules, it’s ‘common sense’ that tells him teenagers are struggling to wake up early and make it to the buses, the Associated Press reported.

It’s REAL MEN COOK day and that’s right, you read the title right “Crock Pot”! I don’t do a lot of stuff in the crock pot, more so because I like the fresh quick meals. But I figured since the kiddos are back to school everyone is looking to make dinner in a snap yet keep it scrumptious. These Crock Pot Shredded Beef Sandwiches will do just that. { plus a couple of you requested crock pot meals.. soo here ya go! } The first time I ever had these Crock Pot Sandwiches was actually at our church small group meeting. Our small group would meet together weekly and would always start off with dinner together first. It was a time for us to chill together and catch up before we got down to business with God. Since we met every week, us ladies would rotate each week who would make and bring dinner for that week."

"text": "Popsugar Fitness Healthy Living How Easy It Is to Gain One Pound in a Week Extra Tastes Can Turn Into a Pound of Weight Gain in a Week September 14, 2011 by Jenny Sugar 302 Shares Gaining and losing weight is really about math. In order to lose a pound, you must burn or cut out 3,500 calories per week (500 calories a day). Unfortunately on the other side of the equation, if you consistently overeat an extra 500 calories each day . . . well . . . that's how you end up not fitting into your pants. Calories add up, and here is a simple breakdown to illustrate how easy it can be to eat an extra 500 calories in one day. Do this over the course of seven days, and you're bound to see the scale jump up one pound. Breakfast One half and half container in your cup of coffee ( 20 calories ): The same amount of skim milk is only six calories. One small bite of a Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnut ( 47 calories ): Thanks to your boss for bringing in a box to share, and I know they melt in your mouth, but had you known that little bite was almost 50 calories, you may have passed. Total Extra Breakfast Calories: 67Lunch A 12-ounce bottle of Izze Clementine ( 133 calories ): Sure, it's sparkling juice, but it contains almost as many calories as a Coke."

It is usually farm raised throughout the Mekong River Delta region and then exported around the world. A relatively inexpensive fish, it is quite high in protein and low in calories. A 4-ounce serving has 14 grams of protein and 110 calories. Its mild taste and white flesh are complemented by a variety of flavors, although heavy spices or sauces will overpower its taste. It can be prepared by baking, broiling, grilling and pan-frying. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Baked Step 1Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

"text": "Reality Check: New Stacked Burgers From TGI Friday's Reality Check Reviews of fast food burgers and a look at how the real life version compares to the advertised beauty shot. Erin Jackson Profile Twitter Contact24 Printer-Friendly Version [Photographs: Above, TGI Friday's, all others, Erin Jackson]After nearly two years of development, TGI Friday's revealed their new line-up of double-patty Stacked Burgers on Tuesday. They're made with two fresh, 3.6-ounce, 75/25 grilled USDA Choice beef patties with toppings on top, below, and in between. About 80 percent of locations will be serving the burgers on fresh-baked, brioche-style buns delivered by local bakery partners, while the remaining 20 percent of locations will have par-baked buns, according to an in-depth interview with Dan Dillon, TGI Friday's senior director of menu development, about the new burgers on burgerbusiness.com. Here's a run-down of the three burgers with their menu descriptions: All-American Stacked Burger: Melted sharp cheddar cheese, onion bacon jam and Asiago and Parmesan spread between two fresh burgers with Thousand Island dressing and peppered bacon, 1460 calories Philly Stacked Burger: Braised shredded beef, mozzarella, Asiago and Parmesan spread, roasted cremini mushrooms, spicy giardiniera and green onion between two fresh burgers with Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, horseradish spread, onion bacon jam and peppered bacon, 1470 calories Bleu Cheese Stacked Burger: Melted bleu cheese, roasted cremini mushrooms, balsamic and green onions between two fresh burgers crusted with bleu cheese, and roasted garlic rosemary aioli and peppered bacon, 1490 calories When I dropped by my local Friday's to test-drive the new burgers, it was apparent that there's still a learning curve going on in the kitchen. Two out of the three burgers were delivered with multiple toppings missing, and one was put together with one large beef patty instead of two smaller ones. The one burger the kitchen got right on my first visit was the All-American Stacked Burger ($11.79). From the beef to the bacon to the cheese, plus three different condiment spreads (Asiago-Parmesan, onion bacon jam, and Thousand Island) there is a lot going on with this burger—too much, to be specific. With so many toppings, it's inevitable that most of them will mush together or just get totally lost in the fray, which is exactly what happened. I could only really taste the bacon onion jam, the bacon, and the bun."

"text": "What Are Brussels Sprouts Good For?0Stepping Out with Brussels Sprouts Botanical name: Brassica oleracea var gemmifera Named for the city in Belgium where this vegetable was first referenced in the 1200s – Brussels – this miniature cabbage may have been cultivated in Italy during the reign of Roman emperors. They migrated with European farmers into the U. S. in the 1800s. In a long line of crucifers with cabbage, radishes, cauliflower, and kale, Brussels sprouts are a cool weather crop with a nutty, earthy taste and the appearance of miniature cabbage heads. Unlike that larger variety, the best flavor is actually achieved when they’re placed into a very small amount of water and steamed, drained, and served immediately with a little salt. Overcooking destroys not only the nutrients, but the flavor, consistency, color and, most noticeably, the aroma. As a variation, try serving steamed Brussels sprouts as a side dish with a honey mustard or cheese sauce, or roasted and tossed together with toasted pine nuts, freshly grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Health Benefits of Brussels Sprouts Vitamin K is one of the biggest Brussels sprouts benefits – a 195 percent daily food value per serving, which promotes strong bones. The vitamin C content runs a close second with a 125 percent daily value. This vegetable is very low in saturated fat and cholesterol and a good source of riboflavin, magnesium, and phosphorus. Brussels sprouts are also a very good source of fiber, vitamins A and B6, thiamin, folate, potassium, and manganese, as well as copper, calcium, and iron."

They’re so close to the real thing and they’re easy to make!You know you’ve hit a home run when you have to protect your food from a pack of hungry men and two little dogs. I made the mistake of letting my son taste one of the vegan jackfruit “crab” cakes that I made yesterday, before I photographed them. Big mistake. You see, I already knew that I had created a winner, because I was having my own issues with willpower. Those little golden brown cakes had a slightly crunchy outer layer and were perfectly moist and meaty on the inside, just like the crab cakes that I remember eating before going vegan. I could have eaten every one of them, but I didn’t, I dug deep and found the strength to share. You guys, these tasted like the real deal. The medley of Old Bay seasoning, garlic, chives, and cilantro was so simple, and so perfect. Just ask my son and my husband."

"text": "\"Nutritional Value of Eggs Benedictby ROBIN WASSERMAN Last Updated: Oct 03, 2017If you ever wanted to condense all your daily recommended allotment for protein, fat, cholesterol, calories and salt into one meal, you could choose to eat one serving of eggs Benedict. Traditionally, eggs Benedict consists of toast, ham, eggs and Hollandaise sauce. To make this food choice slightly healthier, you can choose to substitute low-calorie, low-fat options for some of the more fattening ingredients, particularly the butter in the Hollandaise sauce. Cholesterol The total amount of cholesterol in eggs Benedict depends on the amount of eggs and butter used to make the Hollandaise sauce. Most four- to six-serving recipes require three to four egg yolks and one to two sticks of butter. Egg yolks contain high levels of cholesterol, about 215 mg per egg. Butter also contains a high level of cholesterol, one stick having 243 mg of cholesterol. A typical three- to four-egg yolk recipe of Hollandaise sauce using two sticks of butter would yield 888 mg to 1,103 mg of cholesterol total or about 222 to 275 mg of cholesterol per 1/4 cup serving. Add to that the 215 mg of cholesterol in the poached egg itself and the 13 mg of cholesterol typically found in a slice of Canadian bacon and you end up with a total of about 450 mg to 500 mg of cholesterol per serving. The total recommended dietary intake of cholesterol for a healthy adult should not exceed 300 mg per day."

"text": "How to Cook Salad Dressing All About Emulsificationby Marian Bull • April 16, 2014 • 5 Comments♦ 36 Save ✉Inspired by conversations on the Food52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today: Grab a whisk; we're teaching you everything you need to know about emulsification. Which means more creamy, silky sauces and dressings for you. To understand emulsification -- what happens when oil and water mix to create stable substances like mayonnaise, salad dressing, and even milk -- we are going to have to talk science for a minute. We promise that there will be no atomic diagrams, no Latin. And if you hang on until the end, you’ll be rewarded with silky aiolis, mayonnaise that won’t break, and vinaigrettes that hold together for days in the fridge. To begin: You know that oil and water do not mix. Shake them together vigorously, and they seem to combine -- until you stop. This faux-integration is called a colloidal suspension; in layman's terms, the oil, broken into smaller bits via your brute force, is suspended briefly in water. Once the force is over, they separate once more."

"text": "How Much Fat Is in a Hard Boiled Egg?by NINA K. Oct. 03, 2017Nearly half the calories in a hard-boiled egg come from fat. As the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends getting 20 to 35 percent of your total calories from fat, you should consume whole eggs somewhat sparingly. Of the 5.3 grams of fat in a large egg, however, about 4.51 grams come from the yolk, leaving just over 1/2 gram in the egg white. Therefore, if you separate the yolk from the white you can remove the vast majority of the fat. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Healthy Fat in Eggs Most of the fat in eggs is the unsaturated variety, which does not lead to cardiovascular disease like some saturated fats do. And despite the high fat content, eating eggs in moderation can support a healthy diet even in those with coronary heart disease. Research from Yale University presented at the Experimental Biology meeting in 2013, indicates that eating two eggs each morning for six weeks did not lead to higher blood pressure, cholesterol levels or weight gain in study participants with coronary heart disease.

"text": "\"Garlic aioli. Sheri L Giblin / Getty Images20 mins Prep: 20 mins, Cook: 0 mins Yield: 8 servings (2 oz each) (34)By Danilo Alfaro Updated 02/15/17Share Pin Email A healthy dose of garlic gives this aioli recipe its punch. Aioli (pronounced \"\"ay-OH-lee\"\") is a tangy emulsified sauce that's similar to mayonnaise but is made with olive oil instead of ordinary vegetable oil. As such, you will do well to use a very good olive oil. Consider for a moment the fact that you might plausibly spend upwards of $25 on a bottle of wine, and quaff it in a single evening. What I'm suggesting is that you establish your upper limit — the most you would ever spend on a bottle of wine — and then establish that as your baseline for how much you spend on a bottle of olive oil. When you consider that it will last far longer than a single night, it's not really so outrageous. A couple things to look for. A dark bottle, since exposure to light, is one of the causes of rancidity. It drives me crazy when I go to the store and see bottles of olive oil on the shelf and the shelf has those long fluorescent light tubes built in, just bombarding the oil all day long."

Her name comes from Indo-European ‘wei-1’, ‘To turn, twist’ and ‘rei-2’. ‘ Striped and in various colors’. This is in contrast to the derivation which Plato gives where he says ‘Iris’ comes from ‘εἵρειν’, ‘To tell’ because she was a messenger. Iris is goddess of the rainbow and a messenger of the gods. She is often carrying messages for Hera. She is the daughter of Thaumas and Electra, one of the Oceanids and not the daughter of Agamemnon. Her sisters were the fearful harpies. She had no cult following and no temples dedicated to her. In some legends she is the mother of Eros by Sephyrus."

Answer by Edwardcullencrazy Confidence votes 139Aeolus, the Greek god of the wind, helped Odysseus to return home to Ithaca by putting the north, south and easterly winds in a bag, leaving only a westward wind to blow Odysseus and his men home. He did all this purely to annoy his brother, Poseidon, Greek god of the sea, who was his cousin. Aeolus told Odysseus never to open the bag, for the winds will be released. Odysseus had no intention to open the bag, but while he was sleeping, one of his crew did, thinking it was some sort of treasure, while Ithaca was in sight.

"text": "\"UNDERSTANDING AIR AMBULANCE INSURANCEMinutes matter after an accident, heart attack, stroke or other major medical emergency. Air ambulances, also known as medevac services, quickly transport a patient to a medical facility. While some health insurance policies provide coverage for this service, coverage gaps can leave patients struggling to pay large bills. Here are the basics of what you should know about air ambulances from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). What is an air ambulance? When a ground ambulance can't reach a patient, or get there fast enough, an air ambulance is called. Air ambulances are often equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment and staffed by paramedics, emergency medical technicians and sometimes doctors and nurses. Air ambulances most commonly transport patients with traumatic injuries, pregnancy complications, heart attacks, strokes and respiratory diseases. The Association of Air Medical Services estimates that more than 550,000 patients in the U. S. use air ambulances each year. However, using air ambulances is expensive and might not be covered by the patient's health insurance policy."

"text": "\"Ambulances EMTs and Paramedics Emergency Medicine Costs How much does it cost to ride in an ambulance?13 Answers Health Care Inc, We make healthcare easier to understand. Answered Jun 23, 2017 · Author has 56 answers and 63.9k answer views Taking an ambulance to the ER is often unnecessary and can cost you hundreds (and even thousands) of dollars. When faced with a serious medical emergency, especially one that’s life-threatening, you should always call 911, get in an ambulance, and head to the ER. But for many in the United States, this protocol is often repeated in cases of non-medical emergencies. This practice can be problematic – with ambulance and ER costs reaching exorbitant levels. The next time you need to visit a hospital for an “emergency,” it’s worth asking the question: do you really need an ambulance? Ambulance Costs Vary by Location So, how much are ambulance costs exactly? Well, like the entire US Healthcare system, it’s complicated. The reason for its complexity is that Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in the United States are run locally. As Dr. Robert O’Connor, board member of the American College of Emergency Physicians, told the LA Times, if you’ve seen one EMS system you’ve only seen one EMS system; no two are the same."

We offer a special introductory helicopter training flight, so that you can try helicopter flying (hands-on) with no obligation. You can begin at any age, when you can reach the flight controls and there is no upper age limit. You must be 16 years old to fly the helicopter solo (by yourself), 17 to get a Helicopter Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) and 18 years old to get a Commercial Pilot’s Licence (CPL). How many hours of Helicopter training does it take to get my licence? The Civil Aviation Authority ( CAA) requires a minimum of 50 hours of total flight time in the aircraft at an Approved Training Organisation; including at least 35 hours of dual instruction with a Certified Flight Instructor, and 15 hours of solo flight (by yourself, after proper training). Most people take a little longer to learn to control the aircraft well enough to pass the CAA “practical” flight test."

It came from a reader called Edward (he asked me not to mention his surname) and here, slightly edited, is what he said: \"\"I am in my mid-sixties, and have been travelling regularly since my late teens. At present I live in China, and take about 60 to 70 flights a year, both inside the country and abroad – including to some dodgy places. I have never once paid for travel insurance. Obviously many of my journeys were made before I (or almost anybody) had a credit card, which made things a little bit harder (imagine having plenty of the wrong currency, and no banks open).

Watch in Times Video »embed MOSCOW — A Russian charter flight ferrying 224 passengers and crew to St. Petersburg from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, crashed soon after taking off early Saturday, killing everyone onboard, officials in Egypt and Russia said. The plane, an 18-year-old Airbus A321-200, disappeared from radar screens about 25 minutes after it took off, according to official accounts. Hossam Kamal, the Egyptian transportation minister, denied that anything abnormal had happened before the plane disappeared. Earlier news reports in Egypt, citing officials, said the pilot had radioed that he was having technical difficulties and wanted to make an emergency landing. “Communications between the pilot and the tower were very normal — no distress signals occurred,” Mr. Kamal said at a news conference broadcast nationally. The pilot did not request to change his route to make an emergency landing, he said, emphasizing that “all was normal; the plane disappeared suddenly off the radar without any prior warning."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Helicopters\"\" redirects here. For other uses, see Helicopter (disambiguation). A US police Bell 206 helicopter A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover, and to fly forward, backward, and laterally. These attributes allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft and many forms of VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft cannot perform. The English word helicopter is adapted from the French word hélicoptère, coined by Gustave Ponton d'Amécourt in 1861, which originates from the Greek helix ( ἕλιξ) \"\"helix, spiral, whirl, convolution\"\" [1] and pteron ( πτερόν) \"\"wing\"\". [ 2] [3] [4] [5] English language nicknames for helicopter include \"\"chopper\"\", \"\"copter\"\", \"\"helo\"\", \"\"heli\"\", and \"\"whirlybird\"\". Helicopters were developed and built during the first half-century of flight, with the Focke-Wulf Fw 61 being the first operational helicopter in 1936. Some helicopters reached limited production, but it was not until 1942 that a helicopter designed by Igor Sikorsky reached full-scale production, [6] with 131 aircraft built. [ 7] Though most earlier designs used more than one main rotor, it is the single main rotor with anti-torque tail rotor configuration that has become the most common helicopter configuration."

"text": "Business & Commercial Aviation, Oct. 2010, p. 40Piaggio P180 Avanti IIRoomy, fast, quiet and fuel efficient, but not without shortcomings By Fred George [email protected] There are more than 100 Piaggio P180 Avanti II aircraft in service and they’ve logged more than 200,000 flight hours by some estimates, as of late August 2010. That’s an impressive number for less than five years of production, considering that only 105 of the original P180 aircraft were built between 1990 and 2005. Perhaps that popularity is a result of Piaggio Aero Industries delivering on the promises it made for the Avanti II in late 2004, according to operators contacted for this report. The distinctive twin pusher turboprop has a 400 KTAS top cruise speed, Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, considerably improved tanks-full payload and upgraded passenger amenities. Piaggio predicted that the Avanti II would be 12-kt. faster in high cruise altitudes than the original P180, an aircraft that already held bragging rights as the “World’s Fastest Production Civil Turboprop.” Flight tests, though, revealed that the Avanti II was up to 20 kt. faster, primarily due to better-than-promised power output from its Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-66B engines. Maxed out at 400 KTAS, the Avanti II is almost 3% faster than the first-generation aircraft while fuel flows are about half that increase. The second-generation aircraft also is slightly more fuel efficient than the original model because it can climb to higher cruise altitudes."

Ambulatory services can be expensive, and can require specific conditions to qualify for an ambulance ride. Many Medicare eligible wonder if Medicare covers this cost. Does Medicare Cover Ambulance Services? Emergency Ambulance Services Medicare Part B will partially cover (you pay 20% and deductible apply: $183) emergency ambulance ground and air services if you meet certain qualifications such as: you are in shock, bleeding heavily, and/or need medical treatment while be transported to a facility. Air services are partially covered if there is a lot of traffic or if it would be difficult for ground transportation to reach you. Non-Emergency Ambulance Services Medicare will partially (you pay 20% and deductible apply: $183) cover non-emergency ambulance ground services if ALL of these apply: Ambulance transportation is needed to obtain treatment or diagnose your health condition. The use of any other transportation method (car, taxi, subway) could endanger your health. You have a written order from your doctor stating that ambulance transportation is necessary."

In the United States, emergency medical services (EMS) provide out-of-hospital acute medical care and/or transport to definitive care for those in need. They are regulated at the most basic level by the federal government, which sets the minimum standards that all states' EMS providers must meet, and regulated more strictly by individual state governments, which often require higher standards from the services they oversee. Wide differences in population density, topography, and other conditions can call for different types of EMS systems; consequently, there is often significant variation between the Emergency Medical Services provided in one state and those provided in another.

While most services are, to some degree, publicly funded, the factor which often differentiates services is the manner in which they are operated. EMS systems may be directly operated by the community, or they may fall to a third-party provider, such as a private company. [ 1] The most common operating models in the U. S. include: Publicly operated EMS [ edit]In one of the more common publicly operated models, an EMS system is operated directly by the municipality it services. The services themselves may be provided by a local government, or may be the responsibility of the regional (or state) government. Municipality-operated services may be funded by service fees and supplemented by property taxes."

"text": "\"US Military Careers Military Bases Edwards Air Force Base, California - Overview Share Flip Pin Share Email By Rod Powers Updated October 27, 201601 Overview•••Designated as the Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., is the Air Force Materiel Command center of excellence for research, development, and test and evaluation of aerospace systems for the United States and its allies. It also operates the U. S. Air Force Test Pilot School and supports non-military government agencies. Almost every United States military aircraft since the 1950s has been at least partially tested at Edwards. The base is strategically situated next to Rogers Dry Lake whos hard playa surface provides a natural extension to Edwards' runways. This large landing area, combined with excellent year-round weather, makes the base a perfect site for flight testing. The base is one of the largest purchasers of renewable energy in the nation, deriving 60 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, and is a lead partner in the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership.02 Location/Driving Directions If you are traveling to California by commercial air to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), you have a few different means of transportation to Edwards AFB base. One is to have your sponsor pick you up at LAX. Another is to take the Antelope Valley (AV) Airport Express (shuttle) to Lancaster where it will drop you off at the Holiday Inn Express, 1825 W. Ave, J12 or at the Ramada Inn, 300 W. Palmdale Blvd. in Palmdale. Making a reservation for the AV Airport Express prior to your arrival is highly recommended to guarantee a seat on the van or bus."

Travel agents were afraid to bring up the subject of travel insurance for fear of losing the overall deal. It was considered a negative. Not anymore. Whether it's your trip, your possessions, your luggage, or your health, travel insurance — and most important, the right kind of travel insurance — has become an essential item to pack for smart travelers. And if you don't buy travel insurance — or the right kind — more than your trip could be ruined. According to the U. S. Travel Insurance Association,about 30 percent of Americans purchase travel insurance, an increase from 10 percent before 9/11. The top three reasons are: peace of mind, protection against the unexpected and concern over losing the financial investment in a trip. Some 70 percent of cruisers buy travel insurance."

At Mawgan in Pydar, 4 NM (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) northeast of Newquay on Cornwall's north coast, its runway was operated by RAF St Mawgan before 2008. The airport is close to Newquay, a major Cornish urban centre and resort, as well as attractions such as The Eden Project. The airport hosts the Aerohub enterprise zone and is also a bidder in the competition to become the UK's first spaceport. In 2017, the airport handled 461,300 passengers, a 24.2% increase compared with 2016. [ 2] Newquay has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction. The Cornwall Air Ambulance is based at the airport. The runway is able to take the very largest and fastest of civil and military aircraft, having been built and maintained for decades as an RAF maritime operations base. The US Navy were present with the USN AWD storage facility and JMF. With the end of the Cold War and changes in American political priorities, the Americans pulled out of all involvement with the base by the end of 2009."

"text": "\"Travel The Philippines: a guide to the best islands Six of the country's 7,000-plus islands were devastated by Typhoon Haiyan; many of the others badly need tourists to return. Local writer Aya Lowe picks the best places to go Aya Lowe Wed 27 Nov 2013 11.29 EST11.29 EST4,403 79Two young surfers carrying boards at Cloud Nine surf point, Siargao. Photograph: Alamy For a country with thousands of idyllic islands, plus world-class surfing and diving, the Philippines is a relatively undiscovered travel destination. Tourism is crucial to the country's economy, accounting for eight per cent of its GDP, but compare the UK visitor numbers – 120,000 in 2012 – to those of Thailand (800,000 per year) and you get some idea of just how off the radar this vast archipelago is. This month, of course, the country is firmly on the world's radar – for all the wrong reasons. Typhoon Haiyan caused wide spread destruction across the provinces of Leyte and eastern Samar on the mid-eastern side of the Philippines and some parts of Palawan and Cebu on the mid-western side. But while the areas in the path of the typhoon were devastated, much of the country was not damaged. The storm caused havoc on six of the country's 7,107 islands, so most resorts and tourists activities are open and fully functional, and those that were hit are quickly getting back on their feet in the run up to December and January, two of their busiest months of the year. The tourist board and tour operators are reassuring visitors that the country is not only safe, but in desperate need of visitors to bring a vital boost to the economy. Those who go will receive a very warm welcome."

"text": "\"Department of Defense Steven L. Rearden A major change in the conduct of American foreign policy after World War II was the growing involvement of the military, represented by the Department of Defense. The explanation stems in part from the heightened concern for national security during the postwar period when much of the U. S. government became transfixed with waging the Cold War. During these years, as foreign affairs eclipsed domestic policy as the government's top concern, discussion of foreign policy options often dwelt on military courses of action, thereby assuring the secretary of defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), and the military services numerous opportunities to contribute views. Indeed, some secretaries of defense, like James Forrestal, Robert S. Mc Namara, Caspar Weinberger, and William Perry, played such a conspicuous role in foreign affairs that they seemed at times to rival the secretary of state. The result was a foreign policy that increasingly reflected the priorities and concerns of the Pentagon. Even without the Cold War, however, a case can be made that the Defense Department's role and influence in policy circles would have grown appreciably anyway as the logical outcome of American experiences in World War II and its immediate aftermath. As the war ended, the security problems that preoccupied Washington policymakers were not just those associated with deteriorating Soviet-American relations, but also the obligations the United States was apt to acquire as a member of the recently created United Nations, the threats posed by atomic weapons and other new technologies, and the lingering memories of recent military setbacks like Pearl Harbor. The upshot was a growing acceptance that the country would have to have a larger, better-trained, and better-equipped peacetime military force than it had known in the past. Created in 1949, the Department of Defense was an outgrowth of the National Security Act of 1947, which unified the armed services under a civilian secretary of defense. The debate in Congress leading up to passage of the 1947 legislation had its origins in the experiences of World War II, which, despite the overall success, revealed numerous flaws and shortcomings in command relationships and the allocation of resources among the military services."

Portuguese chronicles noted that the Borommatrailokkanat, king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, sent an expedition to the Malacca Sultanate at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula in 1455. Following their conquest of Malacca in 1511, the Portuguese sent a diplomatic mission to Ayutthaya.

Question: My ENT doctor has diagnosed me with a septal perforation . It happened after a “routine” septoplasty, after which I had a lot of bleeding from the left side of my nose that made a really big scab and blocked my air passage. After the doctor pulled it out, the scab, she said there was a small “rent” in my septum and that it should heal without a problem. When I followed up a month later my nose felt better but she then said there was a small hole in my septum and that we should just watch it and “see” . I’m really worried my nose is going to fall apart. Is it possible for the hole in my septum to heal on its own or is she just trying to make me feel better?"

Watch in Times Video »embed HONG KONG — Thousands of troops stood arrayed at perfect, hushed attention around Tiananmen Square. Hundreds of Communist Party elders, foreign dignitaries and diplomats looked on. It was then, on live television, that President Xi Jinping stepped forward to announce that the Chinese military, on proud display to mark 70 years since the end of World War II, would lose more than a 10th of its personnel. “War is the sword of Damocles that still hangs over mankind,” Mr. Xi said in a speech at the start of a vast military parade on Thursday in central Beijing. Mr. Xi indicated that he wanted to show other countries — many of them wary of China ’s growing military strength — that they had nothing to fear from the procession of tanks and missiles that rumbled down Chang’an Avenue while fighter jets roared overhead."

As Mike Drolet reports, you can no longer just roll on board and stuff everything you can into the overhead bin. Air Canada began its promised crackdown on oversized carry-on baggage on Monday, beginning with passengers checking in for flights in Toronto in a program it plans to expand across the country in about two weeks. Passengers leaving on early flights from Pearson International Airport faced short lineups to get carry-on bags checked for sized and weight. Those whose carry-on items met the criteria received a red tag, which the airline says helps reduce wait times at security. Those with articles that exceeded the guidelines faced being stopped at security and sent back to check-in where “standard fees will apply. ”Standard article Personal article Maximum size 23 cm x 40 cm x 55 cm (9 in x 15.5 in x 21.5 in) Wheels and handles included. 16 cm x 33 cm x 43 cm (6 in x 13 in x 17 in)Maximum weight 10 kg (22 lb) 10 kg (22 lb)All destinations Carry-on baggage allowance*: 1 standard article and 1 pers Related Air Canada to begin tagging carry-on luggage at Pearson airport Renee Smith-Valade, Air Canada vice-president for customer experience, said extra staff were on hand at both check-in and security checkpoints and passengers moved quickly through the delay. “Most European, international and U. S. carriers already have a system like this…so we’re just coming into line with what most other airlines are already doing,” she said in an interview. The airline declined to say how many customers were turned back for having oversized carry-on luggage but that wait times were five minutes or less and by Monday afternoon not a single customer had missed a flight due to the new process."

In 1976, KLM introduced a Full Fare Facilities (FFF) service for its full fare economy class passengers, which allowed them to sit at the front of the economy cabin immediately behind first class, and this concept was quickly copied by several other airlines including Air Canada. [ 5] Both United Airlines and Trans World Airlines experimented with a similar three-class concept in 1978, but abandoned it due to negative reactions from discount economy class travelers who felt that amenities were being taken away from them.

The term hand luggage or cabin baggage (also commonly referred to as carry-on in North America) refers to the type of luggage that passengers are allowed to carry along in the passenger compartment of a vehicle instead of moving to the cargo compartment. Passengers are allowed to carry a limited number of smaller bags with them in the vehicle and contain valuables and items needed during the journey. There is normally storage space provided for hand luggage, either under seating, or in overhead lockers. Trains usually have luggage racks above the seats and may also (especially in the case of trains travelling longer distances) have luggage space between the backs of seats facing opposite directions, or in extra luggage racks, for example, at the ends of the carriage near the doors.

On one hand, passengers may want to have more of their possessions at hand during flight, skip often time-consuming baggage claim process, and avoid the risk of having their checked baggage lost or damaged. On the other hand, safety concerns, takeoff weight limitations and financial incentives cause airlines to impose limits on how much and what can a passenger take into the cabin of aircraft. Cabin baggage allowances [ edit]Luggage gauge The International Air Transport Association (IATA) sets guidelines for cabin baggage/hand luggage/carry-on luggage size.

Ramona Ruiz September 12, 2015Updated: September 12, 2015 04:00 AM0shares Etihad Airways' new baggage allowance rules have been met with a lukewarm response from passengers. Delores Johnson / The National Update: Etihad new allowances ‘good for most flyers’ABU DHABI // Etihad Airways’ move to slash its free baggage allowance by 7kg on certain routes has been met with annoyance by residents of the capital. Many who spoke to The National said the new policy was confusing and effectively forces more people to pay for extra luggage or switch to another airline. On Thursday, Etihad said it was introducing a new baggage policy, with weight allowances changing according to the route, the choice of fare and Etihad Guest membership status. The airline said it was “moving to a fair and transparent baggage concept” that allowed passengers to more easily “understand what they are paying for, offering clearer pricing and flexibility”. On some routes, for economy breaking deals and saver tickets, the baggage allowance per passenger has been reduced from 30 kilograms to 23kg. “It’s a bad move,” said Vinod Paryani, 45, a computer engineer who checked in his luggage at the Abu Dhabi city terminal on Friday morning. “ Etihad is a superb and world-class airline but if I’m given 23kg baggage allowance I will have to rethink flying on this national airline. ”Low-income expatriates who travel to their home countries at least once every two years will suffer the most from the new baggage policy, he said."

"text": "Gate Checking Your Stroller when Flying with Baby By Corinne on 13:54 in Baby Travel Gear, Flying With Baby, Getting Around Tweet The walks are long. You need a stroller!Whether you’ve bit the bullet and bought a Maclaren, are schlepping along your trusty jogging stroller, or toting your fancy new Baby Jogger, if you’re bringing your stroller when you’re flying with baby, you’ll need to gate check it. This seemed really complicated to me before I actually did it, but honestly – it’s nothing. Depending on your airline, of course, your stroller simply needs to fold. * SEE BELOW FOR DIFFERENT AIRLINE GATE CHECKING STROLLER POLICIES*When you check in with your luggage, you tell the counter person that you want to gate check your stroller, and they’ll either give you a tag to affix, or put it on your stroller themselves. If your stroller needs to be folded in two pieces (I’m looking at you, Bugaboo) they’ll give you two tags – one for each part. I don’t necessarily believe you need to purchase a lighter stroller specifically for travel, some airlines (like American Airlines, for example) have re-jigged their gate-checking policies so that only light ones may be gate checked. With our jogging stroller, I was concerned we’d have to deflate the tires. We didn’t, but I had a small pump and a patch kit in our carry-on anyway, just in case we got a flat on our trip. In most cases the stroller was waiting for us as we deplaned, but in smaller Caribbean destinations like Cuba, we retrieved it at the baggage claim."

"text": "When the hot summer months approach and you find yourself standing in front of the fan to keep cool, you dream of having air conditioning to cool down your whole house. While air conditioning installation isn't always complicated, it's usually best to work with an air conditioning contractor who will help to ensure it's done correctly. Here is more information on air conditioner installation and finding the right model for your home: On This Page: Air Conditioner Cost Factors Common Air Conditioner Brands and Costs A/C Unit Installation Cost Factors How Much Does Air Conditioning Cost? Most homeowners report spending between $3,734 and $7,163 to have air conditioning installed. This price is more typical of a central A/C unit installation rather than a window central air conditioner addition which typically averages about $300. Your total cost for the job will depend on the type of system you choose. The size of your home will determine the type of air conditioning system you will need. There are several types of systems, including: Window units: installed in windows as a singular A/C system unit Split systems: either as mini-split (ductless) or central systems that are installed as inside and outside units Central system: uses duct system that's usually combined with the heating system to cool a whole house Portable units: comes as a split, hose or evaporative system for ease of movement around the house A window air conditioning unit will generally suffice to keep a smaller home cool on warm spring and summer days. The cost to install a window air conditioner averages between $150 and $300, depending on the size you need. Installing a window air conditioning unit can bring added comfort for a reasonable price, but it will be less powerful than a central air conditioning system."

"text": "Installation Costs Split System Split System Air Conditioner Installation Costs The cheapest installation method for installing a split system air conditioner is known as a “BACK-TO-BACK” installation. See below for an explanation and diagram of back-to-back installation. Essentially there are two determining factors with back-to-back installations, hence two price variations.1) Small split systems – 3.5KW and under (bedroom air conditioners)2) Large split systems – over 3.5KW up to 9KW (lounge, living areas air conditioners)The main difference in price between the two is that large units require a separate electrical circuit to be run from the main electrical switchboard and small units can be connected (in most cases) to an existing power circuit. The costs below are for a Single Story low-set Home:1) Small Split Systems – up to 3.5KW = $599.002) Large Split Systems – over 3.5KW up to 9KW = $699.00 (larger units require separate electrical circuit back to switchboard)These prices* are fully installed, including electrical (purchase price of the unit is not included). What is a BACK-TO-BACK split system air conditioner installation? A split system has two main parts, the indoor head unit and the outdoor compressor unit. In the back-to-back installation method, the indoor head unit is positioned inside on an external wall and directly beneath it on the outside is the outdoor compressor unit with the pipework and electrical interconnectors running neatly in PVC ducting between the two parts. See diagram adjacent (note: the indoor units are usually mounted high on the wall, approx 100mm from the ceiling)The installation price includes: Slimline PVC Ducting to conceal the pipework electrical connection. Separate hard wired new electrical circuit from switchboard to air conditioner and new 20 amp circuit breaker for larger units. Up to 20m internal roof cable run (switchboard must have sufficient electrical capacity and room for another circuit)Weatherproof safety isolation switch mounted near outdoor unit1 years workmanship warranty Back-to-Back is deemed to be installation with an approximate 2.5 meters of pipework route length between the head unit and the outdoor compressor unit."

If so, consider air conditioning that does not require any installation such as a fan or a portable air conditioner. Consider the size of the space you are trying heat or cool before purchasing an AC system. Mismatching the space to the AC may deliver either unsatisfactory results or wasted energy. Do you need to cool your home in the summer and heat it in the winter? If so, consider reverse cycle air conditioning for year round climate control.

Typical costs: Adding central air conditioning to an existing forced-air heating system in a 2,000-square-foot house averages $3,500-$4,000, and can be done by two technicians in 2-3 days, with little or no change to the existing ducting; if ducts must be added, the work time doubles, as does the cost to $7,000-$8,000 or more, according to This Old House.com [ 1] . Estimates for a older, smaller house of 800-1,000 square feet with no existing duct work run $2,100-$6,000, or as high as $10,000 or more, depending on the type and quality of equipment installed, the amount of space available for installing ducts and vents, and the local economy.

The California Consumer Energy Center offers detailed information on central air systems [ 3] and specifics on ducts and vents [ 4] . Most central air conditioning systems are a split system, with the heaviest, noisiest, heat-generating components installed outdoors, and an evaporator coil indoors. The evaporator is connected to a blower (often part of a furnace) which distributes the chilled air through the home's vents. This Old House.com [ 5] gives an overview. The other option is called a packaged central air conditioner; the condenser, compressor and evaporator are all in a cabinet which is installed on the roof or next to the house."

"text": "By Jim Donovan PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Keeping the house cool during the summer is a top priority for most homeowners. If you’re looking for an alternative to central air or a window unit, Consumer Reporter Jim Donovan finds that you do have another option. In this week’s Angie’s List report, we take a look at ductless air conditioners. When the summer heat is on, it can be tough to keep your house cool. Most people turn to central air or a window unit to stay comfortable. A ductless air conditioner can also help, especially in situations where you may not have ductwork, like in a sunroom, or in areas where running ductwork is difficult. They are also ideal for rooms where your HVAC system isn’t keeping the air at a comfortable temperature. According to Angie’s List founder Angie Hicks, “A ductless air conditioner can cost about $1,500 to $2,000 per ton of cooling capacity, but you need to remember while these systems are more expensive, not having the ductwork can be a little bit more efficient than a traditional air conditioner because you lose about 20% of the efficiency from the ductwork. ”With a ductless air conditioner, an evaporator is installed in the home, and the condenser is placed outside the home. Tubes filled with refrigerant run from the outside unit to the inside unit."

Heating and cooling account for around half of all energy used in the average home, according to the U. S. Department of Energy, so your choice of an air conditioning system can have an impact on both utility bills and the environment. While standard air conditioning systems remain more common in U. S. homes, mini-split systems could be a better buy for some homeowners. When comparing these technologies, consider equipment costs and operating costs to find the best system for your home. Understanding Cooling Systems Most people are familiar with standard air conditioners, which use a central outdoor compressor and direct cool air through a network of ducts to distribute it throughout the home. Mini-split air conditioners represent a newer technology. They include an outdoor compressor/condenser as well as an indoor fan unit. The indoor unit mounts to the wall or ceiling within a single room and connects to the outdoor unit via a small conduit. These systems do not use ducts, but instead transport refrigerant through the conduit to cool a single room or other small area. You can connect multiple indoor fans to one outdoor unit to cool multiple rooms, or cool just one room using a single fan."

To learn more, here are 5 things to consider when shopping for a window AC: Top 5 Things to Consider When Shopping for a Window ACCooling Capacity/Size Considerations Installation Electric Requirements Energy Efficiency Maintenance1. Cooling Capacity Cooling capacity should be your first consideration before buying a window AC. Cooling power is measured in British Thermal Units, or BTUs, per hour–the basic measure of thermal energy. For the best efficiency and effectiveness, stick with a unit that has a BTU level designed to fit your space. A window AC with too little BTU power will run continuously to try to cool a large space and, in the process, will eat up your energy budget. A window AC that's too large for your space won't cool and dehumidify your space evenly, leaving your room air susceptible to uncomfortable hot and cold pockets. To find your ideal cooling capacity, calculate the size of the space you want cooled in square feet. Then use the chart below to find the right amount of BTUs."

Categories: Central Air Conditioning Leave your thoughts Is It Better To Just Replace Your Central Air Conditioner Instead Of Replacing The Compressor? We’re only halfway through the summer and we’ve already received dozens and dozens of calls from people wanting to know how much it costs to replace the compressor in their central air conditioning unit. The straightforward answer is that it costs a lot more than you should spend repairing an old ac unit. Unless your air conditioner is new enough that the cost of both the parts and the labor to install the new compressor is covered under warranty – it’s almost always a bad idea to spend the money replacing the compressor. Here’s why…If The Compressor In Your Air Conditioner IS NOT Under Warranty To have a well-known, reputable heating and air company in Denver replace your compressor is typically going to cost between $2,200 – $2,800. A handful of the biggest companies in Denver can charge more than $2,800. Keep in mind… the size of the company and the level of service they are structured to provide affects the price for any type of air conditioning repair. Spending $2,200 – $2,800 for a new compressor into an ac unit is pretty close to just lighting money on fire in my opinion. That’s 1/2 the cost of replacing your entire air conditioning system (a new condenser and evaporative coil) and you still have an old air conditioner, it just has a new compressor in it."

Central Air Vs. Wall Units Is Running a Fan a Lot Cheaper Than an Air Conditioner? Air conditioning makes the hottest summer days more enjoyable, but rising energy costs and the growing awareness of energy conservation and resource depletion demands you cool your home as cheaply and energy efficiently as possible. Deciding which cooling method will save you the most - three window air conditioners or a central air unit - depends on a few factors. Cooling your home with the proper system saves you money and electricity, and keeps you completely comfortable no matter the temperature outside. Comparing Energy Usage Considering that the average home uses more electricity for cooling than for any other appliance or accessory, if you want to save money on your utility bill, carefully consider your cooling choices. A central air unit uses more energy to cool your home. As Mr. Electricity states, a window unit uses anywhere from 500 to 1440 watts to run, while a 2.5 ton central unit (about the size for a typical 1,500- to 2,000-square-foot home) uses about 3,500 watts. It's not simply about the size of area cooled, but the fact that central air involves the furnace, too."

"text": "How Much Does Air Conditioning Cost?by Don Vandervort, Home Tips © 1997-2017May 9, 2016A new whole-house air conditioning system will cost between $3000 and $7000, depending upon the size of the system, equipment brands, and installation requirements. Large, complicated systems can run much more, costing as much as $20,000. Existing heating system ductwork in your home makes a difference because it can usually be utilized. But, even in a home with usable ductwork, a standard central air-conditioning system can cost $3,000 to $6,000 or more to install. In fact, with top brand air conditioners such as Amana, American Standard, Lennox, Trane, and York, the equipment alone can run from $2500 to $3500. Because the cost of installation depends on so many variables, the only way to pinpoint the overall cost is to get at least three bids from qualified air conditioning contractors. Installing a conventional ducted system usually only makes sense if a house is being newly constructed or has a forced-air heating system that the air conditioner can piggyback on. Retrofitting the ductwork needed for a conventional ducted system in an existing home is simply too expensive in most cases. Instead, a mini-ductless system or several window or room air conditioners may be the best options. It’s important to note that installing a central air conditioner is not a do-it-yourself project."

Like all air conditioners you need to know how many BTUs you need to cool or heat the area you are looking at installing your mini split in. You also need to consider the number of air handles that you will need for your application. Normally one air handler per room is what you would need but, if your home has open areas you may be able to cool multiple rooms with just one multi-zone outdoor unit. There are many options for types of air vents or handlers that you can purchase. Some sit in the home and are mounted on the walls and some can be mounted in the ceiling. It is important that you talk to a person who is certified to install air conditioning about your options to help you decide which would meet your needs."

"text": "What’s the difference between a heat pump and an air conditioner? Heat pump vs. air conditioner First, an air conditioner is a type of heat pump. It “pumps” heat from the inside of a building to the outside to cool the indoor space. The critical difference between the terms is that a heat pump can work in the other direction 1 as well. While an air conditioner is only useful for cooling, a heat pump can switch modes and move heat from the outside into the building. It’s this switching between modes that makes a heat pump more attractive in climates that have hot summers and cool winters. Of course, there is a bit more to the story…Moving heat around Heat pumps and air conditioners rely on the same physical laws to operate. They use a system that compresses a refrigerant (which raises the temperature), allows this compressed gas (or liquid) to cool to ambient temperature, and then lets it expand (which lowers the temperature). This takes advantage of the properties of gasses which cool when they expand quickly. This is the same physical process that makes the outflow from a spray canister cool – the compressed contents spray out and expand."

Let’s face it—central air conditioning will change your life. No more sweaty nights tossing and turning because you haven’t installed the window units yet. For that matter, no more installing the window units—or bashing your knuckles carrying them up and down the basement stairs each spring and fall. If you’re thinking about upgrading to central air, be prepared to spend between $6,000 and $15,000, depending on the size and complexity of the job. Installation usually takes several days, and the new system will increase your property value by as much as 10%, according to Twin Cities appraiser Alan Hummel. Here’s what else you need to know.1. Sizing it right is essential. Air conditioning is measured by the ton, which is the cooling energy released by a one-ton block of ice melting over the course of a day. You’ll pay about $2,000 to $4,000 per ton, and a typical two-story, 2,000-square-foot house might require 3 to 3.5 tons of air conditioning—but getting the tonnage exactly right is essential."

But how much does it cost to install central air? While the average cost is around $5,000, the price can range from as little as $2,800 to more than $10,000, according to a survey of Angie’s List members. The exact cost for your house depends on a number of factors, including the type of system you buy and whether your house has ductwork. To get a better idea how much this upgrade will cost—and how to do it right—consider these factors: What type of central air system should you choose? There are two main types of central air conditioning systems: the split system and the packaged unit. Both work in the same way, using the expansion of refrigerant to cool a coil, which in turn cools the air that passes over it. But the two systems differ in the way they are set up. The split system, which is the most common, features a condenser outside the home and a fan-and-coil system inside, with the two units connected by pipes that transfer the refrigerant. The packaged air conditioner contains both components integrated into one, and is generally used when there isn’t enough space for a split unit."

"text": "Ductless vs Central Air Conditioners When it comes to effectively and efficiently cooling a home, which is better: ductless or central air conditioning? This is a question that many of today's homeowners are considering. In years past, most people opted for central AC. Recently, though, ductless AC has been surging in popularity, and it's not just being installed in homes without existing ductwork. People are more concerned than ever about energy costs, and ductless systems are big winners in that regard. Whether you opt for central air or ductless system, you're looking at a major investment and should do plenty of research before making your decision. The initial cost is a major factor, of course, but it pays to consider long-term costs as well. At the same time, you should think about the indoor comfort needs of you and your family. You may think that central air conditioning is the way to go, but you shouldn't dismiss ductless without learning what it's about and what it can do for you. Ductless Air Conditioner vs. Central Air Conditioner: Which is Right for You Before weighing the pros and cons of central air conditioning and ductless air conditioning, you should have a basic grasp of what each system entails."

How much should a typical radiant system cost? Why is radiant heat more expensive? How much do your systems cost? I have heard that radiant heating systems are more efficient, but why do some people who have them say they cost a fortune to run? What is the difference in equipment cost between radiant heating versus a forced air furnace system? The answer to this question can be two sided and affected by certain factors like the kind of structure, life style requirements of the occupants, quality, location, and the availability of products to be installed. According to the mentioned parameters, either system can sometimes be cheaper or more expensive to install. However, on average a typical forced-air system will run 10%-25% cheaper than a radiant heating system. The main reason for this is the radiant floor system is more labor intensive to install."

"text": "When the hot summer months approach and you find yourself standing in front of the fan to keep cool, you dream of having air conditioning to cool down your whole house. While air conditioning installation isn't always complicated, it's usually best to work with an air conditioning contractor who will help to ensure it's done correctly. Here is more information on air conditioner installation and finding the right model for your home: On This Page: Air Conditioner Cost Factors Common Air Conditioner Brands and Costs A/C Unit Installation Cost Factors How Much Does Air Conditioning Cost? Most homeowners report spending between $3,734 and $7,163 to have air conditioning installed. This price is more typical of a central A/C unit installation rather than a window central air conditioner addition which typically averages about $300. Your total cost for the job will depend on the type of system you choose. The size of your home will determine the type of air conditioning system you will need. There are several types of systems, including: Window units: installed in windows as a singular A/C system unit Split systems: either as mini-split (ductless) or central systems that are installed as inside and outside units Central system: uses duct system that's usually combined with the heating system to cool a whole house Portable units: comes as a split, hose or evaporative system for ease of movement around the house A window air conditioning unit will generally suffice to keep a smaller home cool on warm spring and summer days. The cost to install a window air conditioner averages between $150 and $300, depending on the size you need. Installing a window air conditioning unit can bring added comfort for a reasonable price, but it will be less powerful than a central air conditioning system."

The estimated annual cost of a 10 SEER is about $700 and the 12 SEER is about $580. Since all air conditioners are tested and rated by the same trade association (Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration Institute) you can rely on the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) that is assigned to each piece of equipment to compare efficiencies. The higher the SEER the more efficient the unit. I recommend a 13 SEER or higher. As to which brand is the most reliable, Consumer Reports looked at the maintenance records of 14 different manufacturers and rated then accordingly (May 2001 Issue). The top brands with the least amount of trouble calls and highest degree of reliability were American Standard, Ruud, Trane, Tempstar, and Rheem in that order."

The Air Conditioning Contractors of America can usually direct an interested consumer to licensed and qualified HVAC professionals in their region or area. For this discussion, we will consider the costs of installing a ductless or \"\"split\"\" air conditioning system in a 2000 square foot home. The average price for the equipment and installation of a system sized appropriately for the cooling needs of a home of this size ranges $1800-$7000. This would include the outdoor condensing unit and the air handlers 1 as well as the necessary lines, but does not differentiate between single, double, triple or quad zone systems. Generally, the costs and performance of such systems are as follows: Single - BTU at 24K, an above average SEER rating of 17 or higher, and a price of $1800 for the equipment;Double - BTU at 18k, an above average SEER rating of 16 or higher, and a price of roughly $2500 for the equipment alone;Triple - BTU at 24K, an above average SEER rating of 16.2 or higher, and a price of $3000 for the equipment; and Quad - BTU of 24K, a SEER rating of 16.5 or higher, and a cost of $3800 or more.

However, for the majority of people, air conditioning is an essential part of surviving the intense heat of summer. Either way, knowing what expenses to expect is beneficial to the homeowner since air conditioning units typically need to be replaced every 10-20 years. National Average Cost According to statistics compiled by Home Advisors.com, the U. S. national average price for central air installation in 2013 ranges from $2,000 (basic) to over $10,000 (top quality).

Depending on the quality of the unit you choose, location, and add-ons, the project can run as little as $200, or as much as $1,300.

On the high end, the project can cost $2,000 - $2,750 including labor. There aren't a whole lot of downsides to installation.

Air conditioning works by transferring air over a certain temperature from the inside to outside and then replacing it with cooled air. Apart from the benefit of creating a far more comfortable environment to live or work in, it can also provide air purification to the room. The system can be installed with an anti-fungus filter, which renders the air in the environment fresh and clean by removing any mites, or smoke and odour particles. Average cost Job Average cost Updated Quote Portable air conditioning unit £300 - £600 2013 n/a Fixed air conditioning unit £800 - £2000 2013 n/a Installation (Labour) £130 - £200 (Per day) 2013 Get quote Factors to consider To calculate the size of the air conditioning units that are required there are a number of factors that need to be assessed: the height of the ceiling, the amount of light in the environment, the number of doors and windows, the type of property it is (modern or traditional, detached or terraced etc.) and the occupancy that the environment usually caters for. Nominally the calculation to establish the correct size of the air conditioning system and the first guideline is to establish the square footage of the area. The amount of cooling air that needs to be supplied is 1 ton of air cooling capacity to 400 square feet of area. This will provide the starting point for the correct amount of air conditioning that is required for the space."

"text": "\"Where did air conditioning come from? Air conditioning concept started in Ancient Rome Air conditioning is the removal of heat from indoor air for thermal comfort. In another sense, the term can refer to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation, or disinfection that modifies the condition of air. [ 1] An air conditioner (often referred to as AC or air con.) is an appliance, system, or machine designed to stabilise the air temperature and humidity within an area (used for cooling as well as heating depending on the air properties at a given time), typically using a refrigeration cycle but sometimes using evaporation, commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and motor vehicles. The concept of air conditioning is known to have been applied in Ancient Rome, where aqueduct water was circulated through the walls of certain houses to cool them. Similar techniques in medieval Persia involved the use of cisterns and wind towers to cool buildings during the hot season. Modern air conditioning emerged from advances in chemistry during the 19th century, and the first large-scale electrical air conditioning was invented and used in 1902 by Willis Haviland Carrier.

"text": "\"1903 would become a year for the history books. That year the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, would fly the first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air airplane at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17, 1903. 1Most people don't know that it was not in 1903, but in the 1800s, that the Wright brothers, working with kites, had worked out the key issue for flight: control. While other aviators searched in vain for \"\"inherent stability,\"\" Orville and Wilbur created a method for the pilot to control the airplane. The real breakthrough was their ingenious invention of \"\"wing-warping.\"\" If the pilot wanted to bank a turn to the left, the wings could be warped to provide more lift on the wings on the right side of the biplane. The brothers worked out a system for 3-axis control that is still used today on fixed-wing aircraft: left and right like a car or boat (a rudder), up and down (the 1903 Wright \"\"Flyer\"\" had its elevator in the front), and banking a turn as birds do (or like leaning to one side while riding a bicycle). Working with kites in 1899, the brothers figured out and tested their systems for 3-axis control, and in the next two years did experiments with gliders at Kitty Hawk, and then with their wind tunnel, to find the proper lift. They found that the formula for lift - namely the \"\"Smeaton coefficient\"\" that everybody had been using for over 100 years - was wrong. By the time they built their 1902 glider, they had worked out all the problems and they knew it would fly."

"text": "What does the EPA R-22 Phase-Out Mean to the HVAC Industry? Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Money Saving and Energy Refrigerant is the heart of any machine that uses a cooling cycle, from the first air conditioners invented by Willis Haviland Carrier more than a century ago to contemporary air conditioners and heat pumps. The refrigerant chemicals physically transfer heat out of the home, cooling residents down in the summer; in some systems, this cycle reverses to transfer outdoor heat to the indoor air. Because refrigerants play such a vital role in the HVAC industry, manufacturers have been working to make them cleaner, safer and more efficient for generations. The most significant recent development in the progress of refrigerants is the current EPA R-22 Phase-Out. The Cooling Cycle Every modern air conditioner uses a simple property of matter to transfer heat: the phase change. Liquid substances that evaporate to become gases consume heat in the process; likewise, gases that condense and become liquid release that previously absorbed heat. An air conditioner cools the home by allowing chemicals to evaporate at the indoor coil, pumping them to the outdoor coil and forcing them to condense under intense pressure. This cooling cycle is a fairly efficient process because the chemicals are never “used up” along the way; they merely change phase continuously from liquid to gas and back again. Heat pumps are reversible air conditioners that can run the cooling cycle in either direction."

"text": "Invention In 1902, Willis Haviland Carrier in Buffalo, New York creates the first modern electrical air conditioning unit. While working for the Buffalo Forge Company, Carrier grew bored with his everyday work. He eventually experimented with air conditioning as a means to solve a problem for a publishing company. Carrier’s design sought to improve control in a printing plant. Instead of just controlling temperature, Carrier wanted desperately to control humidity, so that the ink in the printing plant wouldn’t run on paper. Instead of sending air through hot coils with steam, he used cold water in coils. The air blowing through the coils cooled the air (due to the cold water in the coil), thus controlling the humidity and the temperature in the surrounding area. The low heat and humidity allowed for the ink to be properly aligned, allowing for the printing plant to become far more efficient than previously. By 1928, air conditioning had reached refrigerators, thus changing the way that Americans preserve their food. Although Carrier did create the first electrical air conditioner, it was Stuart W. Cramer of North Carolina who advanced the technology."

"text": "\"History Of Air Conditioner The history of air conditioner started in the early days with the need to preserve foods. Foods that are kept at room temperature spoil easily due to the growth of bacteria. At temperature below 4°C (40°F), the growth of bacteria is reduced rapidly. As a result of the development in food refrigeration, other applications that follows include air conditioning, humidity control and manufacturing processes. The discovery of the principles of the absorption type of refrigeration in 1824 showed that liquefied ammonia could chill air when it is allowed to evaporate. Ice was created using compressor technology in the year 1842 by a physician named John Gorrie. The commercially available of air conditioning applications started based on the need to cool air for industrial processes than for personal comfort. The first electrical air conditioning was invented by Willis Haviland Carrier in the year 1902. He was also known as the Father of Modern Air Conditioning. His invention was designed to improve the manufacturing process of a printing plant."

"text": "NEXTAir conditioners make hot weather bearable. How Stuff Works The first modern air conditioning system was developed in 1902 by a young electrical engineer named Willis Haviland Carrier. It was designed to solve a humidity problem at the Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing and Publishing Company in Brooklyn, N. Y. Paper stock at the plant would sometimes absorb moisture from the warm summer air, making it difficult to apply the layered inking techniques of the time. Carrier treated the air inside the building by blowing it across chilled pipes. The air cooled as it passed across the cold pipes, and since cool air can't carry as much moisture as warm air, the process reduced the humidity in the plant and stabilized the moisture content of the paper. Reducing the humidity also had the side benefit of lowering the air temperature -- and a new technology was born. Carrier realized he'd developed something with far-reaching potential, and it wasn't long before air-conditioning systems started popping up in theaters and stores, making the long, hot summer months much more comfortable [source: Time ]. The actual process air conditioners use to reduce the ambient air temperature in a room is based on a very simple scientific principle. The rest is achieved with the application of a few clever mechanical techniques. Actually, an air conditioner is very similar to another appliance in your home -- the refrigerator."

HVAC system design is a subdiscipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Refrigeration is sometimes added to the field's abbreviation as HVAC&R or HVACR, or ventilating is dropped as in HACR. HVAC is important in the design of medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and in marine environments such as aquariums, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors. Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning is based on inventions and discoveries made by Nikolay Lvov, Michael Faraday, Willis Carrier, Reuben Trane, James Joule, William Rankine, Sadi Carnot, and many others. The invention of the components of HVAC systems went hand-in-hand with the industrial revolution, and new methods of modernization, higher efficiency, and system control are constantly introduced by companies and inventors worldwide. The three central functions of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning are interrelated, especially with the need to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality within reasonable installation, operation, and maintenance costs. HVAC systems can provide ventilation, reduce air infiltration, and maintain pressure relationships between spaces. The means of air delivery and removal from spaces is known as room air distribution.see more »Couldn't find the full form or full meaning of HVAC?"

In Buffalo, New York, on July 17, 1902, in response to a quality problem experienced at the Sackett-Wilhelms Lithographing & Publishing Company of Brooklyn, Willis Carrier submitted drawings for what became recognized as the world's first modern air conditioning system. The 1902 installation marked the birth of air conditioning because of the addition of humidity control, which led to the recognition by authorities in the field that air conditioning must perform four basic functions: 1.) control temperature; 2.) control humidity; 3.) control air circulation and ventilation; 4.) cleanse the air. After several more years of refinement and field testing, on January 2, 1906, Carrier was granted U. S. patent No. 808897 on his invention, which he called an \"\"Apparatus for Treating Air,\"\" the world's first spray-type air conditioning equipment. It was designed to humidify or dehumidify air, heating water for the first and cooling it for the second."

Distant ancestors of modern biomedical scientists began to explore the solid and fluid parts of the human organism for keys to unlock the hidden mechanisms of disease. They made the first attempts to understand emotions as mental phenomena which had surprising and complex connections to physiological order and pathological disorder. Early Western physicians recognized that emotions were of essential significance; however their medical systems were actually weighted more heavily on the body side of the mind-body balance."

Certain laws of physics apply to this topic. Boyle's law states that the product of the multiplication of pressure and volume remains a constant. As the pressure increases, the volume decreases and vice versa. As you dive deeper when scuba diving, pressure increases and this volume change in gas -filled spaces and organs within your body accounts for the distortion and damage to surrounding tissues. Decompression sickness, or \"\"the bends ,\"\" is related more to Henry's Law, which states that more gas will be dissolved in a liquid when the gas is pressurized. Because of the water pressure, body tissue absorbs nitrogen gas faster as a diver descends than when ascending to the surface. However, if a diver ascends too quickly, nitrogen gas bubbles will form in body tissue rather than being exhaled. The nitrogen bubbles cause severe pain.

The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches ( bronchioles ), finally becoming microscopic. The bronchioles eventually end in clusters of microscopic air sacs called alveoli. In the alveoli, oxygen from the air is absorbed into the blood. Carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, travels from the blood to the alveoli, where it can be exhaled. Between the alveoli is a thin layer of cells called the interstitium, which contains blood vessels and cells that help support the alveoli. The lungs are covered by a thin tissue layer called the pleura. The same kind of thin tissue lines the inside of the chest cavity - also called pleura."

"text": "\"Jeff Menegas, Used to be a lab tech, grew up to be a gynecologist Updated Oct 7, 2017 · Author has 564 answers and 5.2m answer views You will not die if a small amount of air is infused into a vein in a distant peripheral site, like your forearm. Veins are preferred over arteries for IV infusion even of crystalloids like Normal Saline, and one reason is that if a small amount of air gets into the bloodstream, it will go through the capillaries in the lungs before it reaches any other capillary bed where it cannot be transferred to the outside air and exhaled. ( Another reason is that any medication injected into the IV will be delivered in large concentration to the tissue downstream of the artery, potentially damaging it. ) Traditionally, the amount of air that is thought to cause an embolism is 5 cc/kg of a person's body weight, although the closer the vein is to the vena cava and right side of the heart (leading to the lungs), the smaller the volume of air that is dangerous. This is because the air needs to break into small bubbles in order to be absorbed into the lungs. The amount of air needed also varies with different animal species. For the same reason, the rate that the air is infused will have an effect, and a fast IV push will be much more dangerous than if the air is allowed to flow in over two or three seconds. Injecting the air into the arterial circulation will of course be much more serious, for example, an injection of as little of 0.5 cc into the Left Anterior Descending artery of the heart can cause ventricular fibrillation. Positioning the patient with the apex of the heart pointing up (Durant's position) allows the air to rise and be stuck in the part of the heart where the blood vessels do not enter or leave, and dissolve there. In the condition known as patent foramen ovale (\"\"hole in the heart\"\"), the communication between the right and left sides that allows blood to bypass the useless lungs in a fetus, which is supposed to close at the moment of birth, does not do so."

An air embolism, also called a gas embolism, occurs when one or more air bubbles enter a vein or artery and block it. When an air bubble enters a vein, it’s called a venous air embolism. When an air bubble enters an artery, it’s called an arterial air embolism. These air bubbles can travel to your brain, heart, or lungs and cause a heart attack, stroke, or respiratory failure. Air embolisms are rather rare. Causes Causes of an air embolism An air embolism can occur when your veins or arteries are exposed and pressure allows air to travel into them. This can happen in several ways, such as: Injections and surgical procedures A syringe or IV can accidentally inject air into your veins. Air can also enter your veins or arteries through a catheter that’s inserted into them. Air can enter your veins and arteries during surgical procedures."

But clots should not form when blood is moving through the body; when clots form inside blood vessels or when blood has a tendency to clot too much, serious health problems can occur. Description As soon as a blood vessel wall is damaged — by a cut or similar trauma — a series of reactions normally takes place to activate platelets to stop the bleeding. Platelets are the tiny particles in the blood released into the bone marrow that gather together and form a barrier to further bleeding. Several proteins in the body are involved in the platelets clotting process. Chief among these proteins are collagen, thrombin, and von Willebrand factor. Collagen and thrombin help platelets stick together. As platelets gather at the site of injury, they change in shape from round to spiny, releasing proteins and other substances that help catch more platelets and clotting proteins. This enlarges the plug that becomes a blood clot."

However, the term bifurcation can sound a little confusing, and so the word “saddle” is very common. Essentially, bifurcation means that something is split into two parts, sort of the way that a saddle branches across both sides of a horse. Thus a saddle pulmonary embolism is one that separates the main artery, or one of its branches, of the lung. An embolism is any substance that travels in the body through the blood stream from one part of the body to another. Most commonly, an embolism refers to a blood clot. However, embolisms can also be comprised of fat, air or even components of some drugs. Blood clots in lungs can be very serious and can lead to severe health consequences and additionally, medical life threatening emergencies. The most common of all pulmonary embolism causes is deep vein thrombosis (DVT). When blood clots form in the deep veins of the legs or in the pelvis, they can break off and travel upward and travel to the lungs."

"text": "Lung Ventilation/Perfusion Scan A lung ventilation/perfusion test, commonly referred to as a VQ test, is carried out to test the function of the lungs. The test measures the blood and airflow in the lungs and is most commonly used if a doctor suspects that a patient has suffered a pulmonary embolism. A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot, which breaks away and travels up to the lungs. A PE can be fatal because it blocks blood flow and causes the oxygen levels in the blood to decrease. Overview of the Lung Ventilation/Perfusion Scan test The VQ test involves two parts: the ventilation test and the perfusion test. The ventilation scan displays airflow and the movement of air in the lungs, while the perfusion scan displays blood flow in the lungs. The VQ test can display abnormalities in the lungs, which may not be visible on other types of test or scan. The scans use radioisotopes to highlight air and blood flow. The radioisotopes cause the body to release energy, which enables special scanners to generate detailed images of the lungs. Outlook The lung ventilation/perfusion test is a safe procedure and does not usually cause any problems for patients, as the amount of radiation used is very small (the equivalent to how much a person is exposed to naturally over the course of one year) and side-effects are very rare."

It also provides assessment, prevention, and troubleshooting tips for central lines. Catheter occlusions A catheter occlusion occurs when a blockage prevents caregivers from flushing the central line or aspirating blood. An occlusion can be thrombotic or nonthrombotic (not caused by a thrombus). About 40% to 50% of occlusions are nonthrombotic and result from mechanical or postural factors, medication precipitate, catheter malpositioning, or undesirable catheter-tip location. If you suspect your patient’s catheter is occluded, assess the entire infusion-delivery system for obstructions and kinks.

Merc Manual : Symptoms Last full review/revision November 2006 by James H. Fisher, MD [to go to Merk off site]Among the most common symptoms of lung disorders are cough, shortness of breath (dyspnea), and wheezing. Less commonly, a blockage in the airways between the mouth and lungs results in a gasping sound when breathing (stridor). Problems in the lungs can also lead to coughing up of blood (hemoptysis), a bluish discoloration of the skin due to a lack of oxygen in the blood (cyanosis), or chest pain. Prolonged lung disease can even produce changes in other parts of the body, including finger clubbing. Some of these symptoms do not always indicate a respiratory problem. Chest pain, for example, may also result from a heart or gastrointestinal disorder, and shortness of breath can be caused by a heart or blood problem. Cough A cough is a sudden, explosive exhalation of air; the function of a cough is to clear material from the airways. Coughing, a familiar but complicated reflex, is one way in which the lungs and airways are protected. Along with other mechanisms, coughing helps to protect the lungs from particles that have been inhaled."

Air Bubbles in Veinair, embolus Venous air embolism is a condition where air bubbles are present within the blood in the veins. This is a very serious condition that most often occurs after surgery and other medical procedures. The air bubble may eventually reach a narrow vein where it will block the flow of blood. This condition can also occur in divers, pilots and astronauts where the change in environmental pressure allows gases dissolved in blood to return to to the gaseous state and form bubbles. Here it is known as decompression sickness, or more commonly as the bends. However, most instances of a venous air embolism occur within the hospital environment from catheterization or surgical procedures where a person is sitting upright. Why does a venous air embolism occur? Reasons for air bubbles in the veins Air usually does not enter a blood vessel unless it is forced in with an infection since the veins are a close system. However, sometimes when an open vein is exposed to the external environment, and the heart is still pumping, it can suck some air bubbles into the system."

Specialty Emergency medicine Causes Bone injury [1]Diagnostic method Doppler ultrasonography, TEE [2] [1]Treatment Albumin administration [1]A fat embolism (which via major trauma may progress to fat embolism syndrome) is a type of embolism in which the embolus consists of fatty material. They are often caused by physical trauma such as fracture of soft tissue trauma, and burns. [ 2] Fat embolism syndrome is distinct from the presence of fat emboli, symptoms usually occur 1–3 days after a traumatic injury and are predominantly pulmonary ( shortness of breath, hypoxemia ), neurological (agitation, delirium, or coma ), dermatological ( petechial rash ), and haematological ( anaemia, low platelets ). The syndrome manifests more frequently in closed fractures of the pelvis or long bones.

The three most characteristic features are: respiratory distress, neurological features, and skin petechiae. [ 3] Respiratory distress (present in 75% of the cases) can vary from mild distress which requires supplemental oxygen to severe distress which requires mechanical ventilation. For neurologic features, those who have FES may become lethargic, restless, with a drop in glasgow coma scale (GCS) due to cerebral oedema rather than cerebral ischaemia. Therefore, neurological signs are not lateralised to one side of the body."

H&E stain. Classification and external resources Specialty Pulmonology ICD - 10 J00 - J99ICD - 9-CM 460 - 519Me SH D012140 [ edit on Wikidata]Respiratory disease is a medical term that encompasses pathological conditions affecting the organs and tissues that make gas exchange possible in higher organisms, and includes conditions of the upper respiratory tract, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, pleura and pleural cavity, and the nerves and muscles of breathing. Respiratory diseases range from mild and self-limiting, such as the common cold, to life-threatening entities like bacterial pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, acute asthma and lung cancer. [ 1]The study of respiratory disease is known as pulmonology. A doctor who specializes in respiratory disease is known as a pulmonologist, a chest medicine specialist, a respiratory medicine specialist, a respirologist or a thoracic medicine specialist. Respiratory diseases can be classified in many different ways, including by the organ or tissue involved, by the type and pattern of associated signs and symptoms, or by the cause of the disease.

"text": "When Is A Cough Serious And Needs Medical Attention? Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet A little sniffle, slight cough or a mild sore throat are some of the common symptoms we tend to ignore at the outset. But just when do we take these symptoms seriously? In the ideal situation, we should seek immediate medical care but this is not always necessary or feasible in the current economic environment. Therefore some degree of individual discretion is necessary. S0metimes a mild cough can be due to a serious life threatening disease while a severe cough may be a symptom of a mild acute infection that will pass on its own. It is difficult to say when exactly a cough should be considered serious enough to warrant medical attention. Why do we cough? The cough reflex is one of the body’s protective mechanisms. It is similar to a sneeze."

"text": "\"Facts About True HEPA Filtration Information on the HEPA Filters Equipped with Abatement Technologies® HEPA-CARE® Air Purification Systems What does the term HEPA mean? HEPA is an acronym for \"\"High Efficiency Particulate Air\"\" or \"\"High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance.\"\" This acronym refers to a filter that is manufactured, tested, certified, and labeled in accordance with current HEPA filter standards. There are several sub-classes within the HEPA classification. The minimum HEPA category requires the filter to capture 99.97% of the 0.3-micron (0.000012-inch) particles in the air passing through the filter. What is it that makes HEPA filters so efficient? The ultra-fine, glass-fiber medium captures microscopic particles that can easily pass through other filters by a combination of diffusion, interception and inertial impaction. To meet the minimum requirements of a HEPA filter, the filter must be tested and certified to prove that it will remove at least 99.97% (9,997 out of 10,000) of particles 0.3-micron in diameter from the air passing through the filter. Particles that size are about 300 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, and 25 to 50 times smaller than we can see. To a HEPA filter, catching a one-micron particle (1/1,000,000 of a meter) is the equivalent of stopping a cotton ball with a door screen."

Even if the situation of Indians is a lot better than that of their fellow citizens of other nations, the picture is not really soothing or mesmerizing for Indians any more. This observation is being made with regard to the exercise of the right of freedom of speech and expression in the context of social media and the hurdles placed on that by the arbitrary use of the so called cyber laws of the nation, particularly Section 66A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

What is the difference between a detector tube and a dosimeter tube? A. Both detector tubes and dosimeter tubes contain a color-changing material that is specific for the chemical or family of chemicals that it is designed for and will generally have a graduated scale to display the concentration of the vapor. The detector tube is designed to provide an instantaneous reading with the use of a hand or motorized pump, which will assist in obtaining an employee’s acceptable ceiling concentration of a hazardous chemical. The dosimeter tube is primarily used to determine an employee’s permissible exposure limit (PEL) over an eight-hour time weighted average (TWA). OSHA regulates employees’ exposure to hazardous vapors in tables Z-1 and Z-2 of the 29 CFR 1910.1000. These tables list the maximum eight-hour time weighted average (TWA) of a 40-hour workweek and the acceptable exposure ceiling for most chemicals. Q. Can I use a detector tube with a pump from another brand? A. No. Usually, detector tubes from one brand won’t fit in another brand’s hand pump because of the difference in diameter of the tubes. More importantly, the tubes are calibrated to a specific airflow and volume."

"text": "Turbinates The nose warms, filters, and humidifies air before passing it on to the lungs with the aid of the scroll-shaped structures called turbinates. You’ve got six of them, three in each nasal passage. Mechanically engineered better than most HVAC systems, the turbinates change size throughout the day according to a regular pattern. When a turbinate swells, it increases its surface area enabling it to filter and humidify. Its mirror image partner in the opposite nostril, will shrink as small as possible to allow air to pass and mucous to drain. Each cycle of swelling or constricting lasts about 30 minutes, so depending on where you are in your “nasal cycle,” you may be able to breathe better on one side of the nose than the other!Turbinates develop in a growing baby, from a solid sphere of bone, into a bony balloon, and then uncurl into a flat plate of bone, covered by a mucous membrane. Commonly, the turbinate development arrests in the shape of a bony balloon and never uncurls. This bony balloon shape, called a conchae bullosa, causes and contributes to nasal airway obstruction, sinusitis, hyponasal voice, and sleep apnea . While medical treatments to prevent swelling of the overlying mucous membranes can help to temporarily increase the size of the airway, surgery may be the only curative treatment. So important are the turbinates, that when a surgeon operates to fix a crooked septum but fails to correct misshapen and oversized turbinates, the patient will not notice a significant improvement."

"text": "\"Definitions FAQs Aerophagia The word \"\"phage\"\" in Greek means \"\"to eat.\"\" Aerophagia is literally to eat air. In the modern context, it means swallowing too much air, a common cause of gas in the stomach and belching. This is sometimes a result of CPAP Therapy. Unfortunately, the best solutions for this problem are not a catch all but instead an attempt to find the middle ground between needed CPAP pressures. Here's what you can do: Talk with your CPAP prescribing physician. The doctor may suggest decreasing the CPAP pressure in order to decrease the bloating. This decision would need to be made by your doctor to ensure you do not suffer from a constricted airway. Alternatively, your doctor may consider transitioning you to an auto-titrating machine. APAPs reduce the average pressure that the user receives."

Police vans are usually employed for the transportation of prisoners inside a specially adapted cell in the vehicle, or for the rapid transportation of a number of officers to an incident. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Etymology2.1 Paddy Wagon2.2 Black Maria3 Use of vans4 See also5 References6 External links History [ edit]Early police vans were in the form of horse-drawn carriages, [1] with the carriage being in the form of a secure prison cell. Frank Fowler Loomis designed and built the world's first motorized police patrol wagon (\"\"paddy wagon\"\"). [ 2] In the modern age, motorised police vans replaced the older Black Maria and paddy wagon types as they were usually crudely adapted for accommodation of prisoners. The need for a secure police van was realised when prisoners who were resisting arrest needed to be transported. The concern was that if transported in a conventional patrol car, the prisoner might attack the officers during the journey. To combat this, police vans were designed with a fixed steel cage in the rear of the vehicle effectively separating the prisoner from the officers.

With electronic ignition and fuel injection came computers that took over control of engine settings. Early versions allowed for some tinkering, but today's engines require advanced equipment and training. You can, however, replace normal maintenance parts and still see improved engine performance. Here are common maintenance parts you can replace to significantly increase performance and reduce major problems: Basic Ignition Parts Spark Plugs: Spark plugs are good indicators of engine condition. Removing and inspecting spark plugs tell you a lot about how well the engine is running and what may be causing problems. All spark plugs should be removed and checked every 30,000 miles - even if your car is \"\"low maintenance\"\" - you're told to change spark plugs at 100,000 miles. This prevents the plugs from seizing in the block, causing expensive repairs down the road. Always note which plug came from which cylinder. This tells you if a particular cylinder has a problem."

"text": "Home Violations & Safety Safety & Driving Vehicle Maintenance Tips Changing an Air Filter Share Tweet Pin It Email Print Changing an Air Filter Before you start heaving luggage out of your car's side windows or imposing passenger weight restrictions to improve your vehicle's mileage, check the air filter. A dirty or clogged air filter can alter your vehicle's gas mileage by up to 10%. An air filter serves as an engine's protection device against grit and grime―your car's Achilles' heel. An air filter that is blocked with debris essentially chokes your vehicle and restricts air intake. Fortunately, changing an air filter usually takes under five minutes. When to Change the Air Filter An air filter should be replaced once a year, or every 15,000 miles. If you regularly travel on dirt roads, however, you will need to check your air filter every few months. You don't need a mechanic's eye to determine the air filter's condition. If you see dust build-up within the filter's accordion-like folds, change is needed. Or, for absolute certainty, shine a flashlight from the inside out."

From refrigerator manufacturers to toy makers, companies around the world depend on compressed air to produce products. It’s so important that many consider it a utility as significant as electricity, water or natural gas. Unfortunately, compressed air is also an expensive utility to produce. Many businesses spend tens of thousands of dollars generating compressed air. And lots of this air goes unused. In fact, we found nearly half of all compressed air is wasted. With decades of experience designing energy-efficient air compressors, we understand the true cost of compressed air. We also know the potential savings are tremendous.

"text": "\"How Often Should I Replace My Engine Filter? Your car's engine air filter should be replaced when it gets dusty or dirty enough. But don't let a mechanic convince you to replace it too frequently. Over time, your car’s engine air filter collects dirt and debris — even bugs — and eventually needs to be replaced. But highly rated auto mechanics say drivers first need to find the right balance between replacing their car’s filter too frequently and not replacing them at all. Replacing an air filter prematurely is one of the most common car repair scams, according to highly rated mechanics on Angie’s List, who add that some less scrupulous technicians may try to sell filters when drivers don’t need a new one. Replacing one too frequently won’t harm your vehicle, but it will impact your wallet. On the other hand, not replacing the filter can lead to severe engine damage. The filter’s job is to keep dirt, dust and debris from entering the engine’s cylinders, allowing for optimal performance. “I have seen where the customer completely ignored the air filter, and it deteriorated over the years, and the pieces were sucked into the engine, leaving a gaping hole in the filter,” says Ed Nemphos, owner of highly rated Brentwood Automotive in Baltimore. “"

Sign up for money tips and advice!No matter if you own or rent your home, here are 10 ways to cut your energy bills and save money during the summer: Tip #1: Install More Plants One of the best ways to stay cool is to block heat from getting into your home in the first place. Installing more leafy plants and trees around your home is a great way to improve its curb appeal and help reduce the amount of sun shining on your roof, windows, and outdoor air conditioning unit. Tip #2: Cover Your Windows To keep heat from coming into your home, close your window blinds or curtains—especially during the hottest part of the day. You can also install outdoor awnings, solar screens, or window film on the outside of your windows to intercept or reflect solar energy. If you need new windows, consider upgrading to high-performance products that have special coatings. They can filter out up to 70% of the heat while allowing the full amount of visible light to come through. Tip #3: Adjust the Thermostat When it’s warm, every degree you choose to raise the thermostat above 78 can reduce your cooling costs by as much as 10%."

May 9, 2014 / Written by: Vernon Trollinger No question is more likely to stir up a hornet’s nest of debate (if not brawl) among heating, cooling, and air conditioner (HVAC) professionals than “Which air filter should I use for my home?”Opinions vary so widely because over the years technicians have seen everything that the wrong kind of air filter can do to a home’s HVAC system: from coils, motors, and blowers too clogged by weak filters to burnt-out motors and controls because of too-restrictive filters. HVAC air filters are important for removing contaminants from the air to improve your home’s air quality. The better the air quality, the better your HVAC system runs and the better your family’s health. Air filters are rated according to their Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV). Created by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), it’s a porousness scale that goes from 1 to 16, with most home air filters ranging from 4 to 13 MERV. The higher the MERV, the more contaminants that are removed from the air. Here’s MERV!Air filters are made from different materials in different thicknesses and sizes. These factors effect their MERV. Spun fiberglass filters (MERV 1-4): Cheap and disposable, these filters will catch 80% of particles 50 microns and larger, and snag 25 percent of the particles in the 3 to 10 micron range."

"text": "\"Home > Car Care > How often does a car need a tune-up? How often does a car need a tune-up? Your car needs regular oil changes, we all know that, but when does it need a tune-up? A tune-up is a major service that includes an oil change, replacement of an engine air filter, spark plugs and possibly a few additional items. A tune-up is not a solution for all car problems, but rather a preventative maintenance for your engine. In older cars, a tune-up was needed every 30,000-45,000 miles. Most newer cars can drive without a tune-up much longer. A major tune-up is usually recommended if a car starts running poorly (scroll down for symptoms), or when your spark plugs are due for replacement according to the maintenance schedule. Spark plugs provide an electric spark to initiate combustion in your engine, so if the spark plugs are fouled-up or worn out, your engine won't run properly. There are two types of spark plugs: conventional and long-life (platinum- or iridium-tipped)."

We've yet to see a diesel manufacturer that did not produce an excellent manual. They also provide a book-size parts manual. If you read and follow the one, you should have little use for the other. Diesel manuals contain every bit of information you need to know about how to maintain your engines, and more. What follows is a general discussion of what you should do and why you should do it. One of the reasons why people often do not follow these instructions is because the frequency of recommended maintenance is a little bit more than the boat owner bargained for in terms of time and cost. In fact, our experience is that 80% of all the engines we see, in terms of the maintenance condition, come nowhere close to what the manuals recommend.

While changing the air filter is one of the simplest things you can do to keep your air conditioner working, a regular maintenance routine with an air conditioning professional will keep your unit from malfunctioning during the hottest days of the summer. Angie Hicks, Angie’s List founder: “For a typical tuneup on your air conditioner, it’s probably going to cost around $70 to $100. But also keep in mind, many companies do offer maintenance plans that might offer it at a little lower price by signing up for a whole year. ”RELATED: What to Do Before Turning on the Air Conditioner Darren Skaggs, Airtron Heating and Air Conditioning: “It needs to be tuned up once a year every year. Also, if the outdoor coils are dirty, if the cooling capacity is not up to par and they are not getting air flow out, things like that can show that the air conditioner needs to be tuned up. \"\" Going to the outdoor unit we check the indoor coil, the outdoor coil, the capacitors, compressor, do an all systems check on the electrical and make sure everything is tightened, check the refrigerant level, the temperatures and make sure the system is efficient and operating as it should. It is true that you can lose up to 5 percent efficiency because if the system is not operating the way it’s supposed to, such as it has dirty coil, over heated motors, lack of refrigerant effects how that system is efficient so as it goes through the year it can lose efficiency if it’s not tuned up properly. ”Angie’s List Tips• Have your unit checked each year • Costs can range from $70-$100 • Be wary of significantly lower prices • Inspection checks coils, capacitors, compressor and refrigerant • Up to 5 percent efficiency loss if unit is not maintained FOR MORE: How Much Does a New Air Conditioner Cost?

A detailed explanation of the benefits and drawbacks of each type of system can be found in further articles on Baghouse.com What is a Dust Collector? After the contaminated air is captured by a Dry Dust Collection system, either by means of a Central Collection System, or in a unit Collector. The dust filled air then needs to be treated and the contaminates removed, before the air can be recirculated back into the facility or dispersed into the atmosphere. The Dust Collector separates the particles from the airstream and sends it on to its final destination. Why are Dust Collectors Needed? There are many reasons why having a proper Dust Collection System installed in your facility is needed, a few important reasons are:• To protect employees and society from exposure to pollution, • To recover valuable products from the dust filled air • To facilitate compliance with health and air emission standards. Types of Dust Collectors The five principal types of industrial dust collectors that will be discussed in this article are:• Cyclone Collectors (Inertial separators) • Baghouses (Fabric collectors) • Wet scrubbers • Electrostatic precipitators • Unit collectors Cyclone Collectors (Inertial Separators)Inertial separators work by making use of one or more of the following forces centrifugal, gravitational, and inertial in order to separate dust from the airstream. Once separated, the dust is removed to a hopper by gravity for temporary storage. While this type of collect can be used in applications where particle sizes are large and only a “rough” air filtration is desired, the main usage for this type of collector is as a precleaner, to remove larger particles and debris and avoid overloading and damaging more efficient dust collectors."

Collazo By RLVC | Posted August 27, 2010 | Coamo, Puerto Rico Part I – Puerto Ricans Contributions to All Wars -WWI Thru Vietnam Dr. Frank J. Collazo August 26, 2010Abstract The purpose of this report is to highlight the contributions of Puerto Ricans to all wars. I am not carrying the bucket of a “group of whiners (cry babies)” just highlighting their contributions. I launched this investigation to quantify the contributions of Puerto Ricans to all wars from WWI to the Vietnam War. The report is based on facts described in the Bibliography listed in the report. In the last two years, I have sensed that some Americans do not have a clue regarding the contributions that Puerto Ricans have made in all wars. The aim and concept of the Nationalist party has contributed to the dissolution of the glue between the USA and Puerto Rico. The rejection of the State Governor of Puerto Rico of the Vieques operation has been a distraction to relations between the USA and Puerto Rico. This incompetent governor disregarded the economic benefits of the military base to Puerto Rico, and the US government caved in to his demand without justification. The US government had the right to sustain the bases without any intervention from the local government. This action by the governor was unpatriotic and irresponsible."

Non-English-speaking nations often use the rank of flotilla admiral or counter admiral as an equivalent, although the latter may also correspond to rear admiral. Traditionally, \"\"commodore\"\" is the title for any officer assigned to command more than one ship at a time, even temporarily, much as \"\"captain\"\" is the traditional title for the commanding officer of a single ship even if the officer's official title in the service is a lower rank. As an official rank, a commodore typically commands a flotilla or squadron of ships as part of a larger task force or naval fleet commanded by an admiral . It is often regarded as a one-star rank with a NATO code of OF-6 (which is known in the U. S. as \"\" rear admiral (lower half)\"\"), but whether it is regarded as a flag rank varies between countries. [ 1]It is sometimes abbreviated as Cdre, CDRE or COMO. [ 2]Contents [ show]Etymology Edit The rank of commodore derives from the French commandeur, which was one of the highest ranks in orders of knighthood, and in military orders the title of the knight in charge of a commenda (a local part of the order's territorial possessions). History Edit The Dutch Navy also used the rank of commandeur from the end of the 16th century for a variety of temporary positions, until it became a conventional permanent rank in 1955. The Royal Netherlands Air Force has adopted the English spelling of commodore for an equivalent rank. The rank of commodore was at first a position created as a temporary title to be bestowed upon captains who commanded squadrons of more than one vessel."

Many terms also have equivalents among other service branches that are not acceptable among Marines, but are comparable in meaning. Many acronyms and terms have come into common use from voice procedure use over communication channels, translated into the phonetic alphabet, or both. Many are or derive from nautical terms and other naval terminology. Most vehicles and aircraft have a formal acronym and/or an informal nickname, those are detailed in their own articles.

A Commander is the fifth rank among officers in the USN. A Senior Officer, a CDR may command a Frigate, Destroyer, Fast Attack Submarine, Smaller Amphibious Ship, Aviation Squadron, SEAL Team, or medium-sized shore installation. On sea-going vessels, a Commanding Officer may be referred to as \"\"Skipper\"\" or \"\"Captain\"\", which is a position but not a rank. Non-sea-going Commanding Officers may never be referred to as \"\"Captain\"\". Never refer to Commanding Officers as \"\"Commander\"\" unless that is their rank -- and if they are the vessel's Captain, even if it is their rank, never call them \"\"Commander\"\". This may be confusing to outsiders, but it is absolutely essential formality for sailors and officers!In the Direct Commission Officer community, O-5s are specialized professionals with equivalent years of experience. For example, a brain surgeon with fifteen years of experience who joins the Navy may receive a commission and immediately receive the rank of CDR. At shore-based commands, CDRs are placed in positions of varying political empowerment depending on their inherent \"\"track\"\" towards a flag position. O-5s who who are \"\"on-track\"\" are more likely to work at the Pentagon or Joint Staffs than at NROTC units, for example -- but nothing is guaranteed, and the topic is highly sensitive."

A navy or maritime force is the branch of a nation's armed forces principally designated for naval and amphibious warfare; namely, lake -borne, riverine, littoral, or ocean -borne combat operations and related functions. It includes anything conducted by surface ships, amphibious ships, submarines, and seaborne aviation, as well as ancillary support, communications, training, and other fields. The strategic offensive role of a navy is projection of force into areas beyond a country's shores (for example, to protect sea-lanes, ferry troops, or attack other navies, ports, or shore installations). The strategic defensive purpose of a navy is to frustrate seaborne projection-of-force by enemies."

Commodore was an early title and later a rank in the United States Navy, United States Coast Guard and the Confederate States Navy. For over two centuries, the designation has been given varying levels of authority and formality. Today, it is no longer a specific rank, but it continues to be used as an honorary title within the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Coast Guard for those senior captains (pay grade O-6) in command of operational organizations composed of multiple independent subordinate naval units (e.g., multiple independent ships or aviation squadrons).

S. Navy, when it was established (but not used) as a courtesy title reserved for captains in command of a fleet or squadron. [ 1]The first U. S. naval officer to become a commodore was John Barry, a senior officer of the Navy, appointed in 1794 after the former Continental Navy was reorganized into what would become the current U. S. Navy. [ 1]Because the U. S. Congress was originally unwilling to authorize more than four officer ranks in the navy (captain, master commandant, lieutenant, and midshipman) until 1862, considerable importance was attached to the title of commodore. Captain Isaac Hull, chafing at not being able to progress further in rank, wrote in 1814 that, if no admirals were to be authorized, something should be done to prevent, \"\"...every midshipman that has command of a gunboat on a separate station taking upon himself the name of Commodore\"\". Like its Royal Navy counterpart at the time, the U. S. Navy commodore was not a higher rank, but a temporary assignment for navy officers, as Herman Melville wrote in his 1850 novel, White-Jacket. [ 1]An American commodore in the early period, like an English commodore or a French chef d'escadre, was an officer (generally, but not exclusively, a captain) assigned temporary command of more than one ship."

"text": "\"Wojciech Kossak, quartering (Quartermaster), about 1893Quartermaster is a military or naval term, the meaning of which depends on the country and service. In land armies, a quartermaster is generally a relatively senior soldier who supervises stores and distributes supplies and provisions. In many navies, quartermaster is a non-commissioned officer ( petty officer) rank. In some navies, it is not a rank but a role related to navigation. The term appears to derive from the title of a German royal official, the Quartiermeister. This term meant \"\"master of quarters\"\" (where \"\"quarters\"\" means lodging/accommodation). Or it could have been derived from \"\"master of the quarterdeck\"\" where the helmsman and Captain controlled the ship. The term was then adopted by some European armies and navies. The first use in English was as a naval term, entering English via the equivalent French and Dutch naval titles quartier-maître and kwartier-meester in the fifteenth century. The term began to refer to army officers in English around 1600."

"text": "\"Lieutenant Commander (also hyphenated Lieutenant-Commander; pronounced L'tenant in the Royal Navy, Irish and Commonwealth navies) [1] is a commissioned officer rank in many navies. The rank is superior to a Lieutenant and subordinate to a Commander. The corresponding rank in most armies (armed services) and air forces is Major, and in the Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth air forces is Squadron Leader . The NATO rank code is OF-3. A Lieutenant Commander is a senior department officer on a large ship or shore installation. He or she may also be commanding officer or executive officer ( second-in-command) of a smaller ship or installation. Contents [ show]Origins Edit Lieutenants were commonly put in command of smaller vessels not warranting a Commander or Captain: such a Lieutenant was called a \"\"Lieutenant Commanding\"\" or \"\"Lieutenant Commandant\"\" in the United States Navy, and a \"\"Lieutenant in Command\"\", \"\"Lieutenant and Commander\"\", or \"\"Senior Lieutenant\"\" in the Royal Navy. The USN settled on \"\"Lieutenant Commander\"\" in 1862, and made it a distinct rank; the RN followed suit in March 1914. [ 2]United Kingdom Edit Royal Navy Edit A Lieutenant-Commander's sleeve/shoulder insignia The insignia worn by a Royal Navy Lieutenant-Commander ( Lt Cdr) is two medium gold braid stripes with one thin gold stripe running in between, placed upon a navy blue/black background.

Just nine Americans have held five-star ranks and no person currently holds that rank. They are the General of the Army (in the Army, equivalent to the foreign rank of field marshal ), Fleet Admiral (in the Navy), and General of the Air Force (in the Air Force). The very highest ranks, senior to the five-stars ranks, are General of the Armies (in the Army) and Admiral of the Navy (in the Navy). These ranks are sometimes called six-star ranks, but holders of the ranks have never used six-star insignia. Only three people have ever held these ranks, which are sometimes considered to be the equivalent of the foreign ranks of generalissimo or grand marshal, and they have never been used at the same time as all other general officer ranks. The rank of General of the Armies have only been ever held by John Pershing and George Washington (promoted to this rank in 1976 as part of American Bicentennial celebrations). The rank of Admiral of the Navy has only been ever held by George Dewey. Proposals to bring back these ranks was made during World War II, with Douglas Mac Arthur and Chester W. Nimitz under consideration for appointment as General of the Armies and Admiral of the Navy, respectively, but this was never implemented."

[ 1]The gravity of Earth, which is denoted by g, refers to the acceleration that is imparted to objects due to the distribution of mass within Earth. In SI units this acceleration is measured in metres per second squared (in symbols, m / s 2 or m·s −2) or equivalently in newtons per kilogram (N/kg or N·kg −1 ).

This quantity is sometimes referred to informally as little g (in contrast, the gravitational constant G is referred to as big G ). The precise strength of Earth's gravity varies depending on location. The nominal \"\"average\"\" value at Earth's surface, known as standard gravity is, by definition, 9.80665 m/s 2.

Army Weight Standards For Men Army Body Fat Measurements / Weight Screening Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Stew Smith Updated June 27, 2017Having a job in the United States Armed Forces requires the applicants, recruits, and active duty / reservists to meet certain standards of fitness and health. Part of the health screening is to measure your height and weight and if that does not meet the standards within the Army, you will have a secondary measurement of the Tape Test - using a tape measure on the waist and neck. U. S. Army soldiers are subject to physical demands. As a result, the Army has promulgated weight and body fat standards to make sure individual soldiers are in shape to meet the challenges of Army service. The body fat standards replaced the Army's weight requirement in 2013. They are designed to account for soldiers who are heavier than allowed by Army weight tables, but who have low levels of body fat. An overhaul and discussions are underway in 2017 with perhaps a change coming in early 2018. The standards apply only to soldiers who already are part of the U. S. Army. New recruits have different standards. Army Weight Standards and Screening Process U. S. Army soldiers are screened at a minimum of every six months to make sure they meet the body fat standards."

"text": "\"How to Calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate As previously discussed earlier within this section of our webiste, an individual's Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the minimum number of calories required to sustain their life in a state of rest. In other words, an individual's Basal Metabolic Rate is the amount of energy (measured in calories) required by their body to perform all of its bodily functions while remaining asleep in bed all day. The first step for any individual who has a fitness goal to lose or gain weight is to determine the total number of calories that their body burns per day. More specifically, an individual’s BMR value is the total number of calories their body requires for all normal bodily functions (excluding all activity factors). Such bodily functions include keeping the heart beating, inhaling and exhaling air, digesting food, making new blood cells, maintaining body temperature and every other metabolic process that occurs within the body. An individual's BMR can account for burning as much as 70% of the total calories expended. While the BMR of an individual is the total number of calories that an individual burns while at rest over a 24-hour period, the total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) value takes into account their BMR value plus all of their physical activities as well. An individual's TDEE level can be considered their personal maintenance level. By knowing the number of calories your body burns on a typical day, you can then design a weight loss program that is centered around your specific TDEE value. According to research conducted by exercise physiologists William Mc Ardle and Frank Katch, the average maintenance level for women in the United States is 2,000-2,100 calories per day, and the average for men is 2,700-2,900 per day."

Any fluid is meant, not just water. It is usually relegated to an early chapter in Fluid Mechanics texts, since its results are widely used in that study. The study yields many useful results of its own, however, such as forces on dams, buoyancy and hydraulic actuation, and is well worth studying for such practical reasons. It is an excellent example of deductive mathematical physics, one that can be understood easily and completely from a very few fundamentals, and in which the predictions agree closely with experiment. There are few better illustrations of the use of the integral calculus, as well as the principles of ordinary statics, available to the student. A great deal can be done with only elementary mathematics. Properly adapted, the material can be used from the earliest introduction of school science, giving an excellent example of a quantitative science with many possibilities for hands-on experiences. The definition of a fluid deserves careful consideration. Although time is not a factor in hydrostatics, it enters in the approach to hydrostatic equilibrium."

However, health-status assessment based on observed body weight ( W O) is incorrect for persons with limb amputation. Objectives: The objectives were 1) to develop a more accurate and generalized method for estimating body weight in persons with limb amputation, 2) to determine whether corrected body weight can be used to assess nutritional status in persons with limb amputation, and 3) to test the validity of the estimation by using empirical data. Design: Anthropometric data were collected from men from Calcutta and adjoining areas with unilateral lower-extremity amputation ( n = 102). Mathematic formulas were developed for determining estimated body weight ( W E) and body mass index (BMI) calculated from both W O and W E (ie, BMI O and BMI E, respectively). We assessed nutritional status by using BMI O and BMI E and tested the validity of each by considering the result of nutritional assessment from midupper arm circumference as the gold standard. We also compared the nutritional status results for the subjects with limb amputation with those for a similar sample size of healthy control subjects. Results: BMI E had a stronger association with midupper arm circumference and a higher efficiency (ie, proportion of correct results given by any test method) than did BMI O. Moreover, the results obtained with BMI E were similar to those obtained with BMI in healthy control subjects. However, the nutritional assessments made with BMI O and BMI E did not differ significantly from one another. Conclusion: For persons with limb amputation, W E provides a better basis for appropriate nutritional evaluation than does W O.

Lateral patient transfers from a stretcher to an OR bed pose a high risk for musculoskeletal disorders, including lower back, shoulder, and neck injuries for perioperative personnel. AORN Ergonomic Tool 1: Lateral Transfer of a Patient from a Stretcher to an OR Bed helps perioperative staff members determine best practices for safe lateral patient transfers. Safe moving of the patient is determined by the starting and ending position required and the patient's weight. Current ergonomic safety concepts and scientific evidence regarding weight limits help to determine how many caregivers are needed to safely move patients and whether mechanical assistance is needed during lateral transfers. Previous article Next article Key wordsergonomics musculoskeletal disorders back injuries patient transfers lateral transfer perioperative patient safetyperioperative personnel safety work-related injuries Moving patients during care can result in injury to the patient or the staff members involved. Lateral patient transfers and positioning in the OR place staff members at high risk for developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), including lower back, shoulder, and neck injuries. 1 Lateral transfers are the most frequent cause of back and shoulder MSDs in general nursing practice. 2,3 A lateral transfer is defined as movement of a patient horizontally or laterally. In the perioperative setting, lateral transfers are performed many times during a typical work shift, and the frequency of this maneuver significantly increases the risk of work-related MSDs."

"text": "About the VC-25 Program: The VC-25 Air Force One VIP transport aircraft is an extensively modified Boeing 747-200B. The mission of the VC-25 aircraft is to provide air transport for the President of the United States. The presidential air transport fleet consists of two specially configured Boeing 747-200Bs with the Air Force designation VC-25 and tail numbers 28000 and 29000. When the President is onboard either aircraft, the radio call sign is 'Air Force One.' The VC-25 is powered by four General Electric CF6-80C2B1 turbofan engines, each delivering 56,700 pounds of thrust. Because the aircraft, due to its configuration, carries only a light payload, it has a greater range than a normal B747-200 and is able to fly at higher speeds. The VC-25 aircraft are flown by the Presidential Airlift Group and assigned to Air Mobility Command's 89th Airlift Wing at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. Air Force One often operates in conjunction with Marine One helicopters that transport the President to and from airports in situations when this option is prefered over a vehicle motorcade. The VC-25 has served as the main aerial transport platform for Presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Principal differences between the VC-25 and the standard Boeing 747-200B, other than the number of passengers and crew, are the cutting-edge navigation, electronic and communications equipment (incl. multi-frequency radios for air-to-air, air-to-ground and satellite communications), the interior configuration and furnishings, self-contained baggage loader, front and aft air-stairs, and the capability for in-flight refueling."

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.helicopter noise Efforts to reduce the noise generated by a helicopter's rotor blades. Contunico © ZDF Enterprises Gmb H, Mainz The idea of taking off vertically, making the transition to horizontal flight to the destination, and landing vertically has been for centuries the dream of inventors. It is the most logical form of flight, dispensing as it does with large landing fields located far from city centres and the inevitable intervening modes of travel—automobile, subway, bus—that flight in conventional aircraft usually requires. But vertical flight is also the most demanding challenge in flying, requiring more sophistication in structure, power, and control than conventional fixed-wing aircraft. These difficulties, solved over time by determined engineers and inventors, made the progress of vertical flight seem slow compared to that of conventional flight, for the first useful helicopters did not appear until the early 1940s. History One important characteristic of the history of vertical flight is the pervasive human interest in the subject; inventors in many countries took up the challenge over the years, achieving varying degrees of success. The history of vertical flight began at least as early as about 400 ce; there are historical references to a Chinese kite that used a rotary wing as a source of lift. Toys using the principle of the helicopter—a rotary blade turned by the pull of a string—were known during the Middle Ages."

MH-60R Sea Hawk showing main rotor (top)A helicopter main rotor or rotor system is the combination of several rotary wings ( rotor blades) and a control system that generates the aerodynamic lift force that supports the weight of the helicopter, and the thrust that counteracts aerodynamic drag in forward flight. Each main rotor is mounted on a vertical mast over the top of the helicopter, as opposed to a helicopter tail rotor, which connects through a combination of drive shaft (s) and gearboxes along the tail boom. The blade pitch is typically controlled by a swashplate connected to the helicopter flight controls. Helicopters are one example of rotary-wing aircraft ( rotorcraft ). The name is derived from the Greek words helix, helik-, meaning spiral; and pteron meaning wing.

"text": "\"BIO 554/754Ornithology Lecture Notes 2 - Bird Flight IOrigin of Flight Exactly how birds acquired the ability to fly has baffled scientists for years. Archaeopteryx provided a starting point for speculation. Built like a dinosaur, but with wings, scientists guessed at how a hypothetical ancestor might have taken flight. Some scientists support the arboreal hypothesis (e.g., Feduccia 1996) and suggest that the ancestors of Archaeopteryx lived in trees and glided into flapping flight (Figure to the right). But others argue that the claws of Archaeopteryx weren't suited to climbing. So, others support the cursorial hypothesis (e.g., Burgers and Chiappe 1999) and suggest that these ancestors used their long, powerful legs to run fast with their arms outstretched, and were at some point lifted up by air currents and carried into flapping flight (Figure to the bottom right). Studying living animals can throw light on their evolutionary past. Ken Dial (2003) of the Flight Lab at the University of Montana noticed the ability of gamebird chicks to escape danger by scrambling up vertical surfaces. The chicks first run very fast, flapping their immature, partially feathered wings, frantically creating enough momentum to run up a vertical surface to safety. Could this survival instinct be the origin of flight?"

But when it comes to tricky rescue missions—plucking stranded sailors from the sea, hurling tubs of water onto forest fires, plucking engineers off wind turbines, dashing the critically injured to hospital—nothing beats a chopper. According to science historians, inventors had been trying to develop flying machines with spinning rotors for over 2000 years before Sikorsky finally built the world's first practical helicopter in 1939. Why did it take so long? Because helicopters are incredibly complex machines—miracles of intricate engineering that take real skill to fly. How exactly do they work?"

Air-delivered munitions may provide the ability to destroy ground and naval targets without risking a large number of military personnel, even when operating deep within enemy territory. The Mk 82 aircraft bomb and its guided variants have been used extensively throughout the world and are one of the most common families of air-delivered munitions ever produced. The Mk 82 and its variants are 500-pound (227 kg) class, low-drag, general-purpose aircraft bombs containing 89 kg of high explosive. Originally dropped as an unguided bomb (sometimes referred to as an ‘iron’ or ‘dumb’ bomb), early versions of the Mk 82 were only able to hit their target 5.5% of the time, requiring large numbers of bombs to be dropped (Blackwelder, 1993). Guided versions, such as the GBU-12 and the GBU-49, now have a CEP of less than 4 m, indicating very high precision."

The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 carrier fighter ( 零式艦上戦闘機 rei-shiki-kanjō-sentōki), or the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen. The A6M was usually referred to by its pilots as the \"\"Reisen\"\" (zero fighter), \"\"0\"\" being the last digit of the imperial year 2600 (1940) when it entered service with the Imperial Navy. The official Allied reporting name was \"\" Zeke \"\", although the use of the name \"\"Zero\"\" was later adopted by the Allies as well. The Zero was considered the most capable carrier-based fighter in the world when it was introduced early in World War II, combining excellent maneuverability and very long range. [ 2] The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS) also frequently used it as a land-based fighter. In early combat operations, the Zero gained a legendary reputation as a dogfighter, [3] achieving an outstanding kill ratio of 12 to 1, [4] but by mid-1942 a combination of new tactics and the introduction of better equipment enabled Allied pilots to engage the Zero on generally equal terms. [ 5] By 1943, the Zero became less effective against newer Allied fighters because of inherent design weaknesses and the failure to develop more powerful aircraft engines. The Allied fighters gained greater firepower, armor, and speed, and approached the Zero's maneuverability, and the Mitsubishi A6M was outdated by 1944. However, the Zero continued to serve in a front line role until the end of the war because design delays, and production difficulties, hampered the introduction of newer Japanese aircraft."

Contents [ show]Design and development Edit Ford Trimotor interior The story of the Ford Trimotor began with William Bushnell Stout, an aeronautical engineer who had previously designed several aircraft using principles similar to those of Professor Hugo Junkers, the noted German aircraft designer. In the early 1920s Henry Ford, along with a group of 19 other investors including his son Edsel, invested in the Stout Metal Airplane Company. Stout, a bold and imaginative salesman, sent a mimeographed form letter to leading manufacturers, blithely asking for $1,000 and adding: \"\"For your one thousand dollars you will get one definite promise: You will never get your money back.\"\" Stout raised $20,000, including $1,000 each from Edsel and Henry Ford. [ 2]In 1925, Ford bought Stout and its aircraft designs. The single-engine Stout design was turned into a multi-engine design, the Stout 3-AT with three Curtiss-Wright air-cooled radial engines. After a prototype was built and test flown with poor results, and a suspicious fire causing the complete destruction of all previous designs, the \"\"4-AT\"\" and \"\"5-AT\"\" emerged."

"text": "Alternative Titles: aeroplane, plane Airplane, also called aeroplane or plane, any of a class of fixed-wing aircraft that is heavier than air, propelled by a screw propeller or a high-velocity jet, and supported by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings. For an account of the development of the airplane and the advent of civil aviation see history of flight. Air New Zealand Limited Air New Zealand Boeing 747-400. Adrian Pingstone The essential components of an airplane are a wing system to sustain it in flight, tail surfaces to stabilize the wings, movable surfaces to control the attitude of the plane in flight, and a power plant to provide the thrust necessary to push the vehicle through the air. Provision must be made to support the plane when it is at rest on the ground and during takeoff and landing. Most planes feature an enclosed body ( fuselage) to house the crew, passengers, and cargo; the cockpit is the area from which the pilot operates the controls and instruments to fly the plane. Principles of aircraft flight and operation Aerodynamics An aircraft in straight-and-level unaccelerated flight has four forces acting on it. ( In turning, diving, or climbing flight, additional forces come into play.) These forces are lift, an upward-acting force; drag, a retarding force of the resistance to lift and to the friction of the aircraft moving through the air; weight, the downward effect that gravity has on the aircraft; and thrust, the forward-acting force provided by the propulsion system (or, in the case of unpowered aircraft, by using gravity to translate altitude into speed). Drag and weight are elements inherent in any object, including an aircraft."

Assigned to the U. S. Army Air Corps, it was the first African American flying unit and the first to enter combat. Today, the 99 th FTS operates their T-1A Jayhawk painted with a red tail in homage both to their historic origins and to the P-51 Mustang, the signature aircraft of the Tuskegee Airmen in WWII. The Jayhawk is used in advanced training for students identified to go into airlift or tanker aircraft. Photos By Glenn Watson of www. Mach Point One Aviation.com The joint flyover of the two “red tails” has been a work in progress for several years, and finally came to fruition as the CAF Red Tail Squadron and the 99 th FTS had their first practice run together as they prepared to fly in formation in the JBSA – Randolph Air Show and Open House.

Although origins of the tradition are unclear, membership in this unofficial Order numbered in the millions during the early parts of World War II. To become initiated into the Order, upon completion of a trans-oceanic air crossing, you first were required to give one dollar, each, to all members present. You then produced another dollar bill. You would sign this bill, which when counter-signed by a minimum of two members of the Order, became your membership card in the Order, your Short Snorter. Members of the Order, for brevity, were also referred to as Short Snorters. When you subsequently traveled to another country, you would take a currency bill of that country, have it signed by two Short Snorters present and tape it onto the end of the previous bill. As you traveled through a number of countries, your Short Snorter could become up to several feet long. Your Short Snorter had to be in your possession at all times."

By Fred Decker; Updated November 09, 2017David Silverman/Getty Images News/Getty Images According to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, accounting for approximately one-quarter of all deaths. Cardiac surgeons are among the most highly paid of all doctors, reflecting both the skills required and the high volume of heart surgeries. Heart disease accounts for a correspondingly large portion of the healthcare industry, and both cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are in high demand, as of 2016. Early Career Heart surgeons have one of the longest training periods of all physicians, with four to five years in residency and another two to three in a cardiothoracic or cardiovascular surgical fellowship. This lengthy training pays dividends when surgeons begin to practice. Medical staffing firm Profiles, which specializes in recruiting doctors entering the work force, reported a median first-year salary of $376,000 a year for cardiothoracic surgeons in its 2015 salary survey. Industry Averages The American Medical Group Association, or AMGA, conducts an annual survey of the 125,000 physicians in its member organizations. In its 2016 survey, cardiac and thoracic surgeons reported a median salary of $645,112 per year.

Tillman At the National Training Center (NTC) at Fort Irwin, California, units routinely struggle with casualty evacuation, even when mission rehearsal exercises have vast infrastructure, semistatic locations, and degraded enemy capabilities. As we begin to prepare for conflict with a \"\"near peer\"\" adversary as identified in Training Circular (TC) 7–100, Hybrid Threat, medical planners must develop evacuation plans that are synchronized with the tactical plan and are understood and rehearsed at the executor level. This article identifies friction points and potential ways to overcome the obstacles that will prevent us from clearing the battlefield. Three CH–47 Chinooks on the helicopter landing zone at Forward Operating Base King at the National Training Center are used for an air assault and as nonstandard medevac platforms. The use of lift assets as nonstandard evacuation platforms is critical to the success of a medevac plan. Medevac Planning Medevac planning is not a complicated concept; it is simply planning for the movement of our wounded using dedicated assets and personnel. However, in practice, medevac planning is much harder and units struggle from the beginning with the roles and responsibilities of the various medical planners and executors because doctrine is vague on who should conduct what part of the process. This vagueness is intentional to allow units the flexibility to support different personalities and capabilities within their organizations. However, in order for medevac planning to be successful, someone must act as executor and the responsibilities of the brigade surgeon section (BSS), brigade support battalion (BSB) medical planners, brigade support medical company (BSMC) commander, and task force medical platoon leaders must be identified. This article outlines a way to determine medevac planning roles and responsibilities based on doctrine."

These nurses may also choose to take part in humanitarian missions, such as responding to natural disasters or traveling to underserved countries. Similar to civilian nurses, Air Force nurses must be comfortable standing and bending for long periods of time, and should be able to work well with the sick and injured. They often work long and irregular hours, and Air Force nurses in particular may have to be open to travel. Some of these nurses are able to work part-time.

"text": "The Highest Paying Jobs of 2015151Shares Share Tweetby Terri Williams – on Jan 13th in Job & Salaries The average American worker earns a median annual wage of $34,750, according to the U. S. Department of Labor. It doesn’t sound like a lot of money, especially when you consider that in August 2014, the U. S. Department of Agriculture projected that it would cost $245,000 to raise a child from birth to the age of 18. And the $34,750 sounds like an even smaller amount compared to the top-paying profession on this list, which has a median annual wage of $235,070. The list does not include professionals like athletes, actors, singers, and musicians, because most of the wealthy and famous people in those categories are exceptions to the rule. For example, while boxer Floyd Mayweather earned $105 million last year (according to Forbes), the average professional athlete earns a median annual wage of $71,850. The Department of Labor also notes that wages for some professionals, such as singers, musicians, and actors, are reported hourly instead of in annual salaries since these individuals usually do not work full-time or year-round. The average actor earns a median hourly wage of $22.15, compared to Robert Downey Jr.’s 2014 income of $75 million. The average musician or singer earns a median hourly wage of $23.46, compared to the $115 million that Beyonce raked in last year. So this list is based on median annual wage estimates provided by the Department of Labor.

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

"text": "Badges of the United States Air Force are military awards authorized by the United States Air Force that signify US Air Force aeronautical ratings or qualification in several career fields, and also serve as identification devices for personnel occupying certain assignments. The Air Force currently authorizes 51 separate rating and occupational badges. The most recent addition to US Air Force badges is the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operator occupational badge, awarded to eight graduates of the Beta class of UAS operators at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, on September 25, 2009. All Air Force badges (with the exception of identification badges) are awarded in three degrees or skill levels. Aeronautical ratings for pilots are awarded at Basic, Senior, and Command levels. Occupational badges are normally issued in Basic, Senior, and Master ratings for officers. Exceptions are Basic, Senior and Chief ratings awarded to nurses, doctors (all types), flight nurses and flight surgeons. Enlisted occupational badges reflect skill levels: 3-level apprentice/5-level Journeyman (same badge), 7-level craftsman, and 9-level superintendent. A star and wreath system, worn above the Air Force badge, denotes which degree or skill level a service member currently holds. Chaplain and aviation badges (to include the parachutist badge) are mandatory on Air Force uniforms."

"text": "\"The Average Salary of an Air Force Colonelby Aurelio Locsin; Updated September 26, 2017The mission of the Air Force is to defend the U. S. against attack by air, space or cyberspace. To that end, this organization focuses on quickly and decisively responding to engagements anywhere in the world, gathering superior information and providing combat support. Recruits start at the enlisted airman level but may rise through the ranks to become a colonel, with an appropriate rise in salary. Salaries The Air Force uses the same pay chart that is used by all members of the Armed Forces. This military pay table divides compensation into those for enlisted, warrant officers and officers. Within each of those groups, wages are further broken up according to rank and number of years served. A colonel (O-6 rank, which is an officer designation) makes from $70,440 per year for two years or less of service to $124,692 per year for over 30 years of service. Allowances Air Force colonels may live on base where room and board are free. Those that choose to live off military facilities receive a housing allowance that is based on marital status, the number of family members and geographic posting. In addition, they also receive a flat monthly food allowance."

"text": "Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) Reviewhttp://www.doctorshadow.com/hpsp-review/This article was posted on Thursday, February 20th, 2014 at 8:13 pm in Medical Schools, Paying for Medical School. There are details that a Army medical recruiter might leave out when talking to you about the Army’s Health Professions Scholarship Program. The fact is military physicians receive a relatively lower salary compared to civilian physicians. As a result, the Army offers huge financial incentives to medical students to reduce the student’s financial burden during medical school. In return, medical students serve in the military as a physician for a determined number of years. The Health Professions Scholarship Program, or HPSP, is a scholarship offered by the United States Army that pays for 100% of tuition and expenses for professional school programs, including medical school. The scholarship seems ideal to aspiring medical students, especially those who do not come from higher-income families. The average medical school graduate enters residency with six-figure loans and interest on those loans. However, there is a catch. The following outlines not only the details of the HPSP, but also determines the true value of the scholarship for students in different situations."

"text": "For Healthcare Professionals Healthcare Compensation Military Medical Careers Should You Be an Army Nurse or Navy Doctor? Military Provides Many Options By Andrea Clement Santiago Updated June 30, 2017Share Pin Email Print Jose Luis Pelaez Inc/Blend Images/Getty Images The United States military offers hundreds of medical jobs, from medics to physicians and everything in between, including nurses and allied health careers. Working for the military is one of many government-employed options for healthcare professionals. There are four branches of the military: Army Navy Air Force Marines Each branch of the military has different needs and entrance requirements for medical professionals. However, one requirement all four military branches share is the physical health standards. Any minor physical weakness, or deviation, from the slightest vision or hearing impairment to flat-footedness, could disqualify you for acceptance into the military. Additionally, you would have to pass physical fitness tests and endurance tests as well. The standards do vary slightly amongst the branches, but generally, the requirements are very strict. What’s to Like About Military Medical Careers One of the major advantages to military medical jobs is the paid training and education. In return for a pre-determined number of service years to pay back your training and education, you will not have to pay out of pocket for your medical degree, nursing degree, or other related healthcare training."

"text": "Jan 8, 2016“Queen Bee” Michelle Obama Has Largest First Lady Staff- Fiction!Summary of e Rumor: A forwarded email claims that Michelle Obama has 22 staffers, which is far more than other first ladies like Hillary Clinton (three) and Jackie Kennedy and Laura Bush (one each). The Truth: The “Queen Bee” email makes false comparisons about the size of Michell Obama’s White House staff to those of other first ladies. The White House Museum has a first lady page with photos with descriptions of former First Ladies meeting with staff members. Images of Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush posted on the site appear to contradict the claim that they each had one staff member. The museum page, which can be viewed here , says former first lady Hillary Clinton had a staff of 20, in addition to 15 interns and volunteers, which also contradicts claims made in the email about staff size. This email has been circulating since 2009. Back then, the White House released a 29-page long ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS ON WHITE HOUSE OFFICE STAFF. From the report, which can be viewed here, Truthor Fiction.com confirmed a number of staff members and job titles as they appeared in the report, and their annual salaries, as of July 2009. Many of these staffers and job titles undoubtedly changed in the years that followed. Also, another important factor is that the job titles don’t indicate if a staffer works directly under the president or the first lady, and the forward email assumes (falsely) that all of them are personal attendants to Michelle Obama : Sher, Susan, assistant to the president and chief of staff to the First Lady, $172,200 annual salary Frye, Jocelyn C., deputy assistant to the president and director of policy and projects for the first Lady, $140,000Rogers, Desiree G., special assistant to the president and White House social secretary, $113,000Johnston, Camille Y., special assistant to the president and director of communications for the first lady, $102,000Winter, Melissa E., special assistant to the president and deputy chief of staff to the first lady, $102,000Medina, David S., deputy chief Of staff to the first lady, $90,000Lelyveld, Catherine M., director and press secretary to the first lady, $84,000Starkey, Frances M., director of scheduling and advance for the first lady, $75,000Sanders, Trooper, deputy director of policy and projects for the first lady, $70,000Burnough, Erinn J., deputy director and deputy social secretary, $65,000Reinstein, Joseph B., deputy director and deputy social secretary, $65,000Goodman, Jennifer R. deputy director of scheduling and events coordinator for the first lady, $62,000Fitts, Alan O., deputy director of advance and trip director for the first lady, $60,000Lewis, Dana M., special assistant and personal aide to the first lady, $60,000Mustaphi, Semonti M., associate director and deputy press secretary to the first lady, $52,500Jarvis, Kristen E., special assistant for scheduling and traveling aide to the first lady, $50,000Lechtenberg, Tyler A., associate director of correspondence for the first lady, $45,000Tubman, Samantha, deputy associate director, $45,000Boswell, Joseph J., executive assistant to the chief of staff to the first lady, $40,000Armbruster, Sally M., staff assistant to the social secretary, $36,000Bookey, Natalie, staff assistant, $36,000Jackson, Deilia A., deputy associate director of correspondence for the first lady, $36,000Most of the substance of this email first appeared at a blog site hosted by Dr. Paul L.

"text": "\"How Much Money Do Cruise Ship Crew Members Make? Staff and Crew make more than most cruisers think One question we get asked a lot is how much money do cruise ship crew members make. This varies widely depending on what the position is onboard as well as where they are from. For example, I worked as the Broadcast Technician and being from American started at $1850 per month. A person from the Philippines would actually start significantly lower than that. This is just the nature of the business that people from poorer countries make less. In another example a Junior hostess from St. Lucia with lots of experience could start at $850 per month, while a hostess from Jamaica with no experience started at $1300 per month. These are just examples to show the difference in nationality does change the salary. So when you start working onboard you should definitely fight for a higher salary and see what you can get. Well, to answer the question, here are salary ranges for various positions onboard."

Martha Washington, 1731-1802 George Washington’s wife was the first to be given the title “lady” by the press, as in “Lady Washington,” and the first wife of a president to appear on U. S. postage stamp. Abigail Adams, 1744-1818 John Adams’ wife urged her husband to “remember the ladies” when he was writing the nation’s Declaration of Independence in 1776. She also was the first woman to be both a president’s wife and the mother of a president, and the first to live in the White House. Martha Jefferson, 1748-1782 No known portrait exists of Thomas Jefferson’s wife, who died 18 years before her husband was elected president. Their daughter Martha Jefferson Randolph served as White House hostess, and was the first to give birth in the presidential mansion in Washington, D. C. Dolley Madison, 1768-1849 James Madison’s wife is the only first lady given an honorary seat on the floor of Congress, and was the first American to respond to telegraph message—sent by inventor Samuel Morse. Elizabeth Monroe, 1768-1830 James Monroe's wife ended the custom of a president's wife making the first social call on the wives of other officials in Washington - and the insulted women boycotted her White House receptions. Louisa Adams, 1775-1852 John Quincy Adams’ wife was the first, first lady born in a foreign country—England. She played the harp, wrote satirical plays and raised silkworms. Rachel Jackson, 1767-1828 Andrew Jackson’s wife was a bigamist, having married Jackson before she was divorced from her first husband. She died after Jackson was elected president but before his inauguration."

Whether you have ship's officer experience, bartending skills, radio communication proficiency, tour guide expertise or you just enjoy helping people have fun, working on a cruise ship might be right for you. Captain/Masters, Mates, and Pilots The Captain, also known as the Master, holds the most authority and responsibility on every vessel, including cruise ships. The captain's word carries the full weight of the law. He can marry, bury or give you sanctuary. She can jail without bail or let you set sail. The Captain/Master is ultimately responsible for the safety and security of all persons on board the vessel.

In my experience, generally speaking, a new-hire Flight Attendant earns a very low salary, barely above the poverty line. ( I started in 1991, and earned $18,000 my first year. ) A senior Flight Attendant (15+ years) earns an average of around $60,000 per year. Some earn more; they choose to fly more hours, and some earn less because they choose to fly less. The job is very flexible, and one can \"\"self-adjust\"\" one's salary quite a bit. That's it in a nutshell. Having stated that, here are some details, in case you're interested. ( I know it's long... REALLY long!

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Your salary depends on a few things. First would be the airline you are flying for as bigger airlines start at a higher pay per flight segment. Second would be your seniority. If you've been flying for 30 years, you could be making upwards of $100K a year! Third would be how much you fly. If you fly the max allowed amount by the FAA every month, then you can live pretty good. My next door neighbor has been flying for American Airlines for 31 years. He makes $125,000 a year. He only flies about 12 days a month."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Sports Tennis Grand Slam Tennis Tournaments Wimbledon How much money does a Hooters waitress earn? Flag How much money does a Hooters waitress earn? Answer by Hootersgirl Confidence votes 30LOW PAY STAY AWAYMy daughter just got a Hostess job at Hooters, she was offered $3.15 plus 1 % of total tips that shift. This is very low. If they make $1000.00 in tips she will get 10 bucks. She will quit tomarrow..... ( the place is not much to hoot about ) Hooters in statesville,nc. Low Hourly like all waitressing jobs but great tips The question was How much does a Hooters waitress earn not a hostess... so let me start off by saying that it depends on the state's minimum wage. In my state Hooters Girls make $7/hour plus their tips. The Bartender makes $7/hour plus their tips and 1% of all the Hooter Girls' sales, while the Hostess makes $7.25/hour plus any tips she may receive via take out and 1% of all Hooter Girls' sales. So that means if there's three waitresses working and they have a slow day and sell $600 each, that's $18 given to both the hostess and bartender.24 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "\"Average salaries and wages in Dubai and UAETable of average wages and salary ranges for jobs in Dubai. Similar pay scales and wages paid in Abu Dhabi companies and jobs (or higher), similar or lower in other emirates. All salary figures are monthly in UAE dirhams (AED) (3.67 dhs = US$1). Actual amount will depend on qualifications, experience, employee nationality, employment history, employer mood, and other random factors. Suggest corrections or additional professions and salary ranges in the UAE salaries forum topic. Comments about nationality and qualifications are not intended to be opinions, judgements, or moral statements of what is good or bad, but observations of how it is. There are exceptions to the generalisations also. Some job titles have a large salary range (highest is 5x-10x lowest) - generally that means Emirati, GCC, and Western nationals (or possibly those holding Western qualifications if relevant) will be more likely to earn the top end salaries, whilst Asians, Africans, and Middle East (not GCC) nationalities will be paid low-range salaries. Some will view this as racist, and others will view it as reflecting education, experience, work ethic, and other generalizations. What matters to you personally is the minimum that your company thinks they can get away with paying you, and whilst you can't easily change your nationality, you can change your qualifications, your experience, how you present yourself, etc."

Every travel site claims to have the lowest rates. This savvy price checker helps you know for sure. Download at scout.roomkey.com25 Answers Jayaprakash PK, Worked for Air India. Answered Mar 31, 2016 · Author has 489 answers and 1.3m answer views While renewing a passport, the delay occurring generally is not because of the Passport Office delay but because of the delay in receiving an investigation cum enquiry report delay from the Police department. To verify the antecedent of the applicant, the passport office (as per government of India instructions) has to send the details to the Police department who in turn sends a policeman to investigate the case and meet the applicant at his address. They may also check with the addresses of two local personalities given by you in the application. Suppose they find any discrepancies in the application then there will be delay in sending the report to the Passport office. In normal cases, the report is sent within a few days of receipt from the PO and the passport is issued. I think in case the renewal is before the actual expiry of the passport and there are no changes in the address then the passport is renewed and send to the applicant before the enquiry formalities are completed and followed up later with the police enquiry to verify the facts."

Answer Wiki Angioplasty, also known as balloon angioplasty and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, is a minimally invasive, endovascular procedure to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins, typically to treat arterial atherosclerosis. Average angioplasty cost is $4500 in India More details on Angioplasty Cost in India Find Best Angioplasty Hospital in India here9 Answers Chitrang Dalal, Building a transparent healthcare network in India Updated Jun 17, 2017 · Author has 122 answers and 189.7k answer views Angioplasty will cost somewhere between INR 1.2L to 1.6L (USD $1850 to 2600). This will include one stent cost, surgeon fees, 2 to 3 day stay at the hospital, food for the patient, drugs and other consumables. If more than one stent is required, then the cost will be additional. If you are considering coming to India for angioplasty, then I would suggest you consider NABH/JCI accredited hospitals only. Here’s a link to help you get Coronary Angioplasty in India - Compare Cost from Top Hospitals First of all finalise the city you want to visit - Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore and then look out for trusted hospitals in that city. Get in touch with them and seek for cost estimate from all of them. Alternatively, get in touch with a medical assistance company who will help you select the right doctor & hospital, get cost estimates from top NABH & JCI accredited hospitals and support you with other processes (visa paperwork, accommodation for patient’s family, local conveyance, etc). I would suggest going to through a medical assistance company as they have prior knowledge and background information already available for you."

As opposed to the megacities of Delhi and Kolkata, Thiruvananthapuram is relatively small and easy to get around. Once you’re away from the concrete center, the present seems to ebb away, taking you back to a time of red-roofed temples, winding lanes, and street hawkers. One of the greenest cities in India and full of parkland, it’s a gentle introduction to one of the most mystical countries on earth. From quiet family home-stays to luxury beach resorts, a city break here costs whatever you can afford. Auto-rickshaws make it cheap to explore on a whim, while the central train station in Thampanoor channels tourists up and down the state. Thanks to a trading history that goes back 1,000 years, Thiruvananthapuram is a melting pot of civilizations, all of which have left their mark, from brightly colored churches, hilltop palaces, and museums housed in colonial buildings to delectable cuisine. Keralan curries have become world famous for their exquisite fusion of coconut and spices; head to the Chalai bazaar in one of the oldest parts of the city for authentic street food and some of the world’s best fabric shopping. And don’t forget to sit and absorb the atmosphere with a cup of traditional chai; there’s no rush here."

Air traffic control report shows jet had aborted landing seconds before The plane was attempting to 'go-around' and try a second landing when it crashed Share Comments By Anthony Bond15:45, 4 AUG 2016 Updated 15:46, 4 AUG 2016Video Loading Share Get daily updates directly to your inbox+ Subscribe The Emirates plane which crash-landed at Dubai International Airport before exploding into flames had aborted its landing seconds before smashing into the runway, Mirror Online can reveal. Air traffic control reports now reveal that Flight EK521 had been on its final approach to the airport when it aborted its landing. It attempted to 'go-around' - meaning to carry out a second attempt at landing. However, instead of climbing height to begin a new approach, it instead touched down on the runway and burst into flames. There are now questions as to why the plane's landing gear appeared to have not been lowered as it came into land. The crew have been praised for evacuating the plane so quickly which saved all 300 people onboard. However, aviation expert Anthony Davis has raised concerns over how the plane came to crash land and speculated pilot error could have been the cause. Read More Emirates airline fire: Live updates after plane 'crash lands at Dubai International Airport after setting ablaze in mid-air'Speaking to Mirror Online, he said: \"\"It is good that the crew got everybody off the plane but a Boeing 777 has been written off. \"\" This just should not happen."

"text": "Share What are the 4 Elements? Science Lesson: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire The ancient Greeks believed that there were four elements that everything was made up of: earth, water, air, and fire. This theory was suggested around 450 BC, and it was later supported and added to by Aristotle. ( Aristotle also suggested that there was a fifth element, aether, because it seemed strange that the stars would be made out of earthly elements. He would be surprised to learn that they are in fact made up of many elements found on earth, and are so hot they could be said to be on fire all the time! ) The idea that these four elements – earth, water, air, and fire – made up all matter was the cornerstone of philosophy, science, and medicine for two thousand years. The elements were “pure” but could not be found in that state on earth. Every visible thing was made up of some combination of earth, water, air, and fire. The four elements were even used to described the four temperaments a person could have, and Hippocrates used the four elements to describe the four “humors” found in the body. These theories stated that the temperaments and humors needed to be in balance with each other in order for a person to be well both mentally and physically."

Other members of the family are oxygen, selenium, tellurium, and polonium. These elements make up Group 16 (VIA) of the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how chemical elements are related to each other. The term chalcogen comes from two Greek words meaning \"\"ore forming.\"\" An ore is a naturally occurring mineral used as a source for an element. Many ores are compounds of a metal and oxygen or a metal and sulfur. Compounds that contain two elements, one of which is sulfur, are called sulfides. For example, a beautiful gold-colored mineral is called pyrite, or \"\"fool's gold,\"\" because it looks so much like real gold."

[ 1] [2] Ancient cultures in Egypt, Babylonia, Japan, Tibet, and India had similar lists, sometimes referring in local languages to \"\"air\"\" as \"\"wind\"\" and the fifth element as \"\"void\"\". The Chinese Wu Xing system lists Wood ( 木 mù ), Fire ( 火 huǒ ), Earth ( 土 tǔ ), Metal ( 金 jīn ), and Water ( 水 shuǐ ), though these are described more as energies or transitions rather than as types of material. These different cultures and even individual philosophers had widely varying explanations concerning their attributes and how they related to observable phenomena as well as cosmology. Sometimes these theories overlapped with mythology and were personified in deities. Some of these interpretations included atomism (the idea of very small, indivisible portions of matter) but other interpretations considered the elements to be divisible into infinitely small pieces without changing their nature. While the classification of the material world by the ancient Indians and Greeks into Air, Earth, Fire and Water was more philosophical, during the Islamic Golden Age medieval middle eastern scientists used practical, experimental observation to classify materials. [ 3] In Europe, the Ancient Greek system of Aristotle evolved slightly into the medieval system, which for the first time in Europe became subject to experimental verification in the 1600s, during the Scientific Revolution."

"text": "The Oxygen Cycle There are certain requirements that every living being – whether plant or animal – need to survive. One of the main basic building blocks of life is oxygen, and it is essential in many of the processes that keep the Earth operating as we know it. It is an important element to life on Earth. What is Oxygen? Oxygen is everywhere, but at its most basic, it is an element in the form of gas that makes up the Earth’s atmosphere and natural formations. Some of the basic facts about oxygen are: It is the 8 th element on the periodic table, and represented by the symbol O. It is nonmetallic and can be combined with most other elements to form more complex compounds. It is the third most often found element in all of the universe (hydrogen and helium are actually the first two). It is the element most common to the Earth’s crust. It is both colorless and gasless. It makes up almost 65% of the human body when considered by mass."

"text": "Choosing a Space Heater Written by Gary Foreman stretcher.com Last year when the price of natural gas went up, I was shocked at my heating bill. Almost one week’s paycheck a month was going to keeping my house at only 65 degrees. I decided a change had to be made. I sewed a heavy floor to ceiling curtain and hung it in the hallway separating the bottom floor of my house from the upstairs. That way I wasn’t heating empty bedrooms and a second bathroom all day long. I turned my furnace thermostat down to it’s lowest setting and bought a small electric heater to heat the bottom floor of my house during all but the time we were sleeping upstairs. My heating bill went down almost 35 percent!This year gas in my area is going up 12 percent and electric is actually going down. I am thinking about not using gas heat at all and getting another electric heater for upstairs at night. I am confused about what kind of electric heater to get. Which is the most efficient?"

"text": "Whirlpool dryer not heating Home » Repair Tips » Whirlpool dryer not heating Jan 31, 14 • DIY Tips • 380 Comments This is the most common symptom we hear on all brands of dryers. The item most of us suspect first is the heating element (see common Whirlpool elements below), but there are several other items on the dryer and one item that is not on the dryer that can produce the same symptom. You will save time, energy, and money if you will take a few moments to prove exactly which part is bad before purchasing a replacement part. The one item that is not on the dryer is a blown circuit breaker (located in your home’s main circuit breaker box). The dryer will turn if it is getting 110 volts, but it must be receiving 220 volts to heat. Many dryer circuits have two circuit breakers installed to power the dryer. A lightning strike nearby or power surge can cause one breaker to blow and not the other. Resetting the circuit breaker fixes the dryer and you did not even get your hands dirty. A blown circuit breaker happens often enough to make it the first item we recommend checking when a dryer turns but does not heat. It is always fun to get an easy fix."

He named the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen; discovered oxygen’s role in combustion and respiration; established that water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen; discovered that sulfur is an element, and helped continue the transformation of chemistry from a qualitative science into a quantitative one. Advertisements Beginnings Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier was born into a privileged family on August 26, 1743 in France’s capital city, Paris. His father was Jean-Antoine Lavoisier, a lawyer in the Paris Parliament. His mother was Émilie Punctis, whose family wealth had come from a butchery business. She died when Antoine was five years old, leaving him a large amount of money. Between the ages of 11 and 18, Antoine was educated at Collège des Quatre-Nations, a college of the University of Paris. He studied general subjects there, including the sciences in his final two years. Although he was very attracted to the sciences, he enrolled in the college’s law school at 18, aiming to pursue the same career as his father. ("

Minutes into the ride, the windshield is so foggy, you've got to hit the Defrost button. But why? The panel is set to outside air for heater operation, and there are no smokers in the car. You put your hand over the defroster outlets and there's hardly any airflow. When you turn the blower switch to high, the noise level goes up but the airflow is still weak. Maybe you need to change the cabin air filter. If it's plugged, the passenger compartment might as well be a sealed cabin—and with a carload of friends the glass will fog in minutes.

The noble gases are the six elements in Group 18 (VIIIA) of the periodic table. The periodic table is a chart that shows how the chemical elements are related to each other. The noble gases are sometimes called inert gases because Group 18 (VIIIA) elements react with very few other elements. In fact, no compound of argon has ever been produced. Argon was discovered in 1894 by English chemist John William Strutt, most commonly known as Lord Rayleigh (1842-1919), and Scottish chemist William Ramsay (1852-1916). It was the first of the noble gases to be isolated. Rayleigh and Ramsay discovered argon by the fractional distillation of liquid air. Fractional distillation is the process of letting liquid air slowly warm up. As the air warms, different elements change from a liquid back to a gas."

"text": "\"Air and oxygen are sometimes used interchangeably, but the two things are actually different. Oxygen is a pure element, while the air people breathe is a mixture of elements. Although oxygen is necessary for survival, repeated exposure to the pure form could be harmful. The air that makes up Earth's atmosphere has a healthy balance of elements to sustain human life. Oxygen is a pure gaseous element. Prolonged exposure to it can actually cause brain damage, although the element is sometimes used therapeutically. Most animals require a certain concentration of oxygen in their blood in order to thrive, and for this reason, the gas is used in emergency situations in which access to air is restricted. When used therapeutically, oxygen is usually mixed with other elements. Oxygen is number eight on the periodic table, which means that it has eight electrons and eight protons. Only a handful of elements, including helium and hydrogen, are lighter."

"text": "\"Internal Combustion Engines Engines Energy (physics) Mechanical Engineering Why can't we use oxygen to combust an internal combustion engine instead of air?18 Answers Quora User, Design Engineer Answered Mar 10, 2013 · Upvoted by Shashvat Prakash, Ph D Combustion & Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology (2007) Air contains 21% oxygen. The traditional internal combustion engine utilizes the oxygen present in the air to burn the fuel. Probable advantages of pure oxygen over atmospheric air: For combustion to take place some minimum amount of oxygen needs to enter the combustion chamber which can be calculated by stoichiometric relations. Now the percentage of oxygen in air is 21%, hence the amount of fluid entering into the traditional IC engine is approximately 5 times the ideal amount required for combustion. Hence if we opt for oxygen instead of air, the volumetric requirement of engine (for the same amount of energy generation) decreases. Due to this reduced volumetric requirement of engine the effort required during the compression stroke of the engine reduces, leading to improved efficiency. The size (and the resulting weight) of the engine also reduces as the volumetric requirement decreases, leading to improved efficiency. Though smaller size may lead to challenges in effective heat transfer and proper cooling of the engine. In spite of these advantages of oxygen over air in IC engines it is still feasible and efficient to opt for atmospheric air as: Air is available free of cost! No need to purchase oxygen cylinders or fit oxygen producing machines on IC engines."

The minimum oxygen concentration in the air required for human breathing is 19.5 percent. The human body takes the oxygen breathed in from the lungs and transports it to the other parts of the body via the body's red blood cells. Each cell uses and requires oxygen to thrive. Most of the time, the air in the atmosphere contains the proper amount of oxygen for safe breathing. But at times, the level of oxygen can drop due to other toxic gases reacting with it. Normal Air Composition Each time you take a breath, you inhale more than oxygen. The normal air in our environment consists of a few different gases. Approximately 78 percent of the air is nitrogen gas while only about 20.9 percent is oxygen. The remaining fraction is made up of primarily argon gas, but trace amounts of carbon dioxide, neon and helium are also present."

The equipment makes bubbles you see in the aquariums is a series of connected parts and accessories instead of just one single component. An aquarium air pump is a crucial component amongst them. Why do we need air bubbles in the aquariums? Most people might not even ask this question because we know that fish requires oxygen to survive just like us. When you see fish staying near the water surface, it is very likely that there is a lack of oxygen. The “bubble maker” (air stone) in the aquariums increases the oxygen level in the water. However, many people do not actually understand how the bubbles help increase the oxygen levels. Some people believe fish can use the oxygen from the fine bubbles directly."

Science Lesson: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire The ancient Greeks believed that there were four elements that everything was made up of: earth, water, air, and fire. This theory was suggested around 450 BC, and it was later supported and added to by Aristotle. ( Aristotle also suggested that there was a fifth element, aether, because it seemed strange that the stars would be made out of earthly elements. He would be surprised to learn that they are in fact made up of many elements found on earth, and are so hot they could be said to be on fire all the time! ) The idea that these four elements – earth, water, air, and fire – made up all matter was the cornerstone of philosophy, science, and medicine for two thousand years. The elements were “pure” but could not be found in that state on earth. Every visible thing was made up of some combination of earth, water, air, and fire. The four elements were even used to described the four temperaments a person could have, and Hippocrates used the four elements to describe the four “humors” found in the body. These theories stated that the temperaments and humors needed to be in balance with each other in order for a person to be well both mentally and physically."

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

Located along the border between the cities of Pasay and Parañaque, about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) south of Manila proper and southwest of Makati, NAIA is the main international gateway for travelers to the Philippines and serves as a hub for Air Asia Philippines, Cebgo, Cebu Pacific, PAL Express, and Philippine Airlines. It is managed by the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), a branch of the Department of Transportation (DOTr). [ 3]Officially, NAIA is the only airport serving the Manila area. However, in practice, both NAIA and Clark International Airport, located in the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga serve the Manila area, with Clark catering mostly to low-cost carriers because of its lower landing fees compared to those charged at NAIA. In the recent past there have been calls for Clark to replace NAIA eventually as the primary airport of the Philippines. [ 4] The airport is named after the late Senator Benigno \"\"Ninoy\"\" Aquino, Jr., who was assassinated at the airport in 1983. In 2015, all terminals at NAIA handled a record breaking annual passenger traffic of 36,681,601, domestic passengers totaled 19,513,514 compared to international travelers, totaling 17,168,087. ["

"text": "Tonga Source: World Travel Guide Tonga's 176 islands range from steep, active volcanoes to low coral forms, most of which are uninhabited. The islands were first visited by the Dutch in the early 17th century, and later by the British seafarer Captain Cook, who dubbed the archipelago the ‘friendly islands’ in 1773. The adoption of Christianity by the ruling family – which followed the arrival of Methodist missionaries in the 1820s – and an overall policy of accommodation with the British - then the principal imperial power in the area - meant that the islands were not formally colonised. The ruling family of Tonga, the last remaining Polynesian Kingdom, can be traced back more than 1000 years. Sightseeing highlights include the Royal Palace on the waterfront in Nuku’alofa, the Mala’ekula (Royal Tombs) and the Anahulu Cave, an underground cavern of stalactites and stalagmites. The islanders enjoy a laidback pace of life which visitors find easy to adopt, whether relaxing on one of the magnificent white sand beaches, diving among the stunning coral reefs or watching the migratory whales return to their breeding grounds from June to November.

"text": "Air Opus camping trailer inflates into a home away from home in 90 seconds Outdoors C. C. Weiss February 22nd, 20177 pictures The Air Opus system can be added to any existing Opus Camper package View gallery - 7 images When we first discovered the British-designed Opus camping trailer back in 2013, its combination of compact pop-up construction and comfy interior design made it one of our favorite campers of the year. Since then, the Opus has gotten a few extra tricks up its sleeve, including a motorcycle mounting system and an all-new tent inflation system. With its integrated Air Poles, the new inflatable Air Opus trailer tent sets up in about a third the time of the original. The original Opus trailer already offers a very nice mix of compact, pop-up construction, gear-hauling versatility, and well-equipped interior. US-spec standard and optional equipment includes a wraparound couch, kitchen with stove, sink and refrigerator, cinema system, portable toilet, electric heating, and air conditioning. The Air Opus system adds extra fast-pitching convenience so that campers can go from towing to relaxing in a matter of minutes. For the new design, Opus has stripped out the hard tent frame and replaced it with Air Poles that inflate with the help of an integrated electric pump powered by a 12-V leisure battery. So the owner can flip a switch and watch the pop-up tent inflate to life in just 90 seconds. The Air Opus requires a few manual steps before and after flipping the electric pump on, so there's no remote control like the Scarab RV, but the inflation system makes it that much easier to go from driving to the campground to relaxing at camp. According to Opus, the entire set-up process for the 13.5-ft-long (4.1-m-long), six-berth Air Opus model, including laying out the interior equipment, takes just five minutes, down from 15 minutes for the pole-frame version."

Thank youreplylaila July 16th, 2010 at 6:45 pm I saw this video,it was so helpful. I want to know should we use the Acrylic gel medium after the painting is finished and dry or before start painting on canvas? Can we paint on this Acrylic gel medium? Is that clear like wood glue? Thanks lailareply Suzanne July 19th, 2010 at 9:11 am Glad to see that people are getting excited about painting on digital prints! So, here's a bit more information that you may not have received in the video: At Opus, we print with pigment based inks. This means that once the print has \"\"cured\"\" (by waiting for 24 hours for it to full settle and dry), it is water resistant and you can paint over top of it without disturbing or changing the printed image."

By Victoria Markovitz They're slippery, they tear, and they're expensive. LAY IT ON ME: Du Pont Roof Liner features enhanced durability and tear resistance, protects against leaks, has a Class A fire rating, and carries a limited 30-year warranty. The Opus Roof Blanket is designed to provide safe traction for roofers whether it is wet or dry, comes in a tan color that keeps cool on hot days, and allows users to snap a chalk line onto the product, the maker says. That's what some people think about synthetic roofing underlayments. Now, a variety of manufacturers have improved their synthetic offerings to tackle these complaints. Meanwhile, manufacturers have noticed greater use of waterproofing underlayments–barriers designed to keep out ice and water–in more parts of the country, and sometimes on the entire roof. James Kirby, associate executive director of technical communications with the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), says most people use asphalt-based products to cover their roofs. However, if these products get left uncovered outside, they absorb moisture and wrinkle. \"\" The trend right now is to use more synthetic-based material that doesn't absorb a lot of water,\"\" Kirby says. \"\""

Copper is a long lasting, corrosion resistant, lightweight and strong material that involves minimal maintenance. When in contact with oxygen, copper forms a protective (patina) coating that renders it resistant to corrosion. Copper is the leading choice for plumbing, heating, cooling and other mechanical systems. Residential, commercial, and industrial buildings all utilize copper as a construction material for water and air conveying systems. All seamless copper tube manufactured in the United States conforms to standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). There are six standard types of copper tube: 1. Type K (green), is the heaviest wall and is used in higher pressure applications; 2. Type L (blue), has a medium wall and is used in mid-pressure applications; 3. Type M (red), has a lighter wall that Type L and is used in low-pressure applications; 4.

"text": "Click a flag for a translation: Roman houses evolved from the thatched-roof huts of the original Roman civilizations to the sumptuous villas of the late Empire. We can trace the evolution of these houses through allusions in literature, and especially through archeological remains. Roman houses varied depending not only on the era in which they were built, but also on their location. As well as those built in Italy, there were Roman houses built in Greece, Africa, Britain, and many other places. The main room in the house was the atrium, a windowless room with a space in the ceiling (the compluvium) through which rain fell into the impluvium , a hollow space in the floor. There were alcoves on either side of the atrium, called alae, in which wax busts of ancestors were kept. There were four types of atrium: Tuscan (in which the roof was supported by two pairs of beams that crossed each other at right angles, tetrastylon (in which four pillars supported the roof beams at the corners of the compluvium), displuviatum (in which the roof sloped to the out walls), and testudinatum. Later the atrium was reduced to being a reception room. The tablinum, the master's office or study, was where the master kept his arca (a heavy chest, sometimes chained to the floor, containing money and valuables). There were other rooms used for business: sometimes house owners converted front rooms into shops."

"text": "\"By Evelyn Reid Updated 02/01/18Share Pin Email01of 06STM Montreal - Overview of Montreal Transit Use•••Montreal's public transit system is run by the STM, which stands for Société de Transport de Montréal, the agency responsible for operating the city's bus and Metro* services. And it has a fairly good reputation in the commuting department in terms of coverage. Residents echo the sentiment with frequent public transit use. Despite a decline pattern in public commuting over the last twenty years, the latest Census figures show that 22.2% of employed Montrealers use public transit to get to work (and more than half of downtown workers commute), the highest proportion in Canada after Toronto, a city with a 23.3% ride-to-work rate. With the lowest personal car ownership rate in Canadian and U. S. cities as well, one third of Montreal households don't have cars at all, suggesting a possible trend toward sustainable modes of transportation. But it's not just about coverage and convenience. For many Montrealers, it's a bottom line issue. Montreal is, by economic measures ... MOREContinue to 2 of 6 below.02of 06STM Montreal - Transit Fares and the OPUS Smart Card•••Using STM public transit instead of a car can equal thousands of dollars in savings. The modest tax credit granted to commuters on federal tax returns doesn't hurt either. OPUS, a smart card in circulation since April 2008 with transit technology comparable to that in San Francisco and Paris, is a convenient way to stock up on STM's fare plans, not to mention mandatory for access to monthly passes and reduced rates when purchasing 10 one-way trips in one shot."

"text": "\"Interior of restaurant Patria, a new Spanish restaurant on Toronto’s King West. Kevin Van Paassen/The Globe and Mail Chris Nuttall-Smith Published May 14, 2013Updated March 26, 2017There is perhaps nothing more galling than flipping open a restaurant's wine list to find a $15 bottle that you know and love listed for more than $50. That's been happening to me a lot lately; where many Canadian restaurateurs are loath to price their chefs' cooking at levels that would make it profitable, they show no such restraint with wine prices. It's in-your-face enough to make some diners want to stick with Diet Coke. In Calgary, Montreal and Toronto, many restaurateurs price their wines at more than three times cost, and it's getting hard to find a decent glass for less than $12. At Patria, a lushly designed and terrific Spanish restaurant on Toronto's prime King Street West strip, my go-to Spanish white, which costs $15 in the provincial liquor store, was marked up more than three times retail to $52 recently. A $105 wine from Priorat, one of Spain's most interesting red wine regions, cost $350 – nearly 31/2 times its retail price. At Cin Cin, a well-known Italian spot on Vancouver's Robson Street, a bottle of Blue Mountain's beloved reserve chardonnay, which retails for $26, will cost you $79. And at Montreal's Joe Beef, one of Canada's best restaurants, co-owner David Mc Millan makes no bones about how he prices his list to encourage spending. Joe Beef's higher-end bottles often see less than a 100-per-cent markup."

Such dark waters are the subject of \"\"Lady Lazarus,\"\" a much-quoted poem in which Plath compares herself to that Biblical figure once resurrected by Christ (and to a cat with its nine lives) because she has been \"\"resurrected\"\" from attempted suicide three times. The poem is also an act of revenge on the male Ego: Out of the ash I rise with my red hair And I eat men like air. From \"\"The Dark Tunnel: A Reading of Sylvia Plath.\"\" Modern Poetry Studies 3.2 (1972). Eillen M. Aird A companion piece to 'Daddy', in which the poet again fuses the worlds of personal pain and corporate suffering, is ‘Lady Lazarus'. In this poem a disturbing tension is established between the seriousness of the experience described and the misleadingly light form of the poem. The vocabulary and rhythms which approximate to the colloquial simplicity of conversational speech, the frequently end-stopped lines, the repetitions which have the effect of mockingly counteracting the violence of the meaning, all establish the deliberately flippant note which this poem strives to achieve. These are all devices which also operate in Auden's 'light verse', but the constantly shifting tone of 'Lady Lazarus' is found less frequently in Auden's more cerebral poetry. At times the tone is hysterically strident and demanding: The peanut-crunching crowd Shoves in to see Them unwrap me hand and foot— The big strip tease."

Apart from some brief references in various chronicles, the only materials for Roger Bacon’s biography are his own writings. The date 1214 for his birth was calculated by Charles, followed by Little, from his statements in the Opus tertium (1267) that it was forty years since he had learned the alphabet and that for all but two of these he had been “in studio.” 1 Taking this to refer to the years since he entered the university—the usual age was then about thirteen—they concluded that in 1267 Bacon was fifty-three and thus was born in 1214. But Crowley has argued that his statements more probably refer to his earliest education, beginning about the age of seven or eight, which would place his birth about 1219 or 1220. Of his family the only good evidence comes again from Bacon himself. He wrote in the Opus tertium that they had been impoverished as a result of their support of Henry III against the baronial party, and therefore could not respond to his appeal for funds for his work in 1266. 2."

As an open format standardised through Request for Comments (RFC) 6716, c a high quality reference implementation is provided under the 3-clause BSD license a which compiles and runs on the vast majority of general purpose and embedded (fixed point) processors. Many Software patents which cover Opus are licensed under royalty-free terms. b Opus is also a Mandatory To Implement (MTI) codec for the upcoming Web RTC (Web Real Time Communication) specification of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Opus incorporates technology from two codecs, the speech-oriented SILK codec developed by Skype and the multi-purpose low-latency CELT codec developed by Xiph.org with significant changes to each to ensure they can work together. c Opus can seamlessly transition among high and low bitrates, using a linear prediction codec (the SILK layer) at lower bitrates and a lapped transform codec (the CELT layer) at higher bitrates, as well as a hybrid of the two for a short overlap in which SILK encodes the 0-8k Hz spectrum and the CELT layer encodes only the frequencies above 8k Hz. c Opus has very low algorithmic delay (typ 22.5 ms) compared to popular music formats such as MP3, Ogg Vorbis, LC-AAC and HE-AAC (all over 100 ms), yet performs very competitively with them in terms of quality per bitrate, making it comparably viable as a storage & playback format. Also unlike Vorbis, Opus does not require the definition of large codebooks for each individual file, making it also preferable for short clips of audio, such as those often used by game developers, a field where patent-free Vorbis is commonly used. c Considerably more details of the history and potential applications for Opus are included in the Wikipedia page for Opus (audio format)Contents [ hide ]1 Characteristics2 Bitrate performance3 Indicative bitrate and quality3.1 Speech encoding quality3.2 Music encoding quality3.3 Lower latency versus quality/bitrate trade-off3.3.1 Packet overhead in interactive applications3.3.2 CELT layer latency versus quality/bitrate trade-off4 Hardware & Software Support4.1 Commandline binaries & libopus versions4.1.1 libopus v1.04.1.2 libopus v1.14.1.3 libopus v1.1.34.1.4 libopus v1.2.14.2 Ports4.2.1 Concentus4.2.2 Emscripten ports4.3 Vo IP software4.4 Web frameworks and browsers4.5 Streaming audio4.6 Operating systems and desktop multimedia frameworks4.7 Hardware support4.8 Player software4.9 Other software5 References & Notes Characteristics [ edit]Opus supports bitrates from 6kbps to 510kbps for typical stereo audio sources (and a maximum of around 255 kbps per channel for multichannel audio), with the 'sweet spot' for music and general audio around 30kbps (mono) and 40-100 kbps (stereo)."

Two basic categories of bricks are fired and non-fired bricks. Block is a similar term referring to a rectangular building unit composed of similar materials, but is usually larger than a brick.

Air pollution can be harmful to the health of humans and animals if left unchecked. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are the Main Causes of Air Pollution? What Pollutes the Air? What Are Examples of Air Pollution? Full Answer Prior to industrialization, the ecosystem was able to take care of any discrepancies in the air through wind, rain, and other acts of nature. However, since industrialization, humans have added more pollutants into the atmosphere than the ecosystem could deal with. Pollutants pumped directly into the air are primary pollutants; for example, carbon monoxide from car exhausts is a primary pollutant. Further pollution can occur when the pollutants in the atmosphere undergo chemical reactions, which is secondary pollution."

Definition of air pollution Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment, into the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth's ecosystems. Indoor air pollution and urban air quality are listed as two of the world's worst pollution problems in the 2008 Blacksmith Institute World's Worst Polluted Places report. [ 1] Define Air pollutants Pollutants Main articles: Pollutant and Greenhouse gas Before flue gas desulfurization was installed, the emissions from this power plant in New Mexico contained excessive amounts of sulfur dioxide. Schematic drawing, causes and effects of air pollution: (1) greenhouse effect, (2) particulate contamination, (3) increased UV radiation, (4) acid rain, (5) increased ground level ozone concentration, (6) increased levels of nitrogen oxides. A substance in the air that can cause harm to humans and the environment is known as an air pollutant. Pollutants can be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, or gases. In addition, they may be natural or man-made. ["

"text": "What is a CARB-Compliant Generator? Online gaming, watching television, cooking and warming your house are only some of the activities which can cease suddenly if there is a power outage. Basically, electricity means everything. Since almost everything depends on electricity, we cannot do anything if there is a sudden outage of electrical supply. Power outages commonly occur during terrible weather conditions like hurricanes or typhoons. Since the United States is usually pumped with unpredictable weather, homes and families are geared with their own generator. During these difficult times, a generator comes in handy because it allows you to resume your regular activities without any power outage interruption. It can provide the electrical power you need while you are patiently waiting for the electricity to be restored. Within a span of several hours, you can continue the things you are doing which requires the use of electricity. However, purchasing just an ordinary generator without being compliant to the CARB rules and regulations could be harmful to your health and the environment."

"text": "\"Summer View, mountains in the distance from Skyline Drive. John F. Mitchell - NPS Volunteer Introduction Air pollution occurs in many forms but can generally be thought of as gaseous and particulate contaminants that are present in the earth's atmosphere. Gaseous pollutants include sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), nitrogen oxides (NO x ), ozone (O 3 ), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOC), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S), hydrogen fluoride (HF), and various gaseous forms of metals. These pollutants are emitted from large stationary sources such as fossil fuel fired power plants, smelters, industrial boilers, petroleum refineries, and manufacturing facilities as well as from area and mobile sources. They are corrosive to various materials which causes damage to cultural resources, can cause injury to ecosystems and organisms, aggravate respiratory diseases, and reduce visibility. Particulates come in both large and small or \"\"fine\"\" solid forms. Large particulates include substances such as dust, asbestos fibers, and lead. Fine particulates include sulfates (SO 4) and nitrates (NO 3 ). Important sources of particulates are power plants, smelters, mining operations, and automobiles. Asbestos and lead affect organisms, while sulfates and nitrates not only cause health problems, but also contribute to acid rain or acid deposition and a reduction in visibility."

You will be able to identify the six classes of air pollutants identified by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Clean Air Act of 1970. What Is Air Pollution? Being sick is pretty lousy, isn't it? If you know someone who has a cold, you tend to steer clear of them because you don't want to catch their germs. Every time that person coughs or sneezes, their germs get put into the air and are then free to travel to the next person. Can you imagine trying to contain something like that in the air? It would be pretty difficult because, not only are the germs invisible, but they expand outward as they enter the air."

Especially the circumstances of life of people or society in their life conditions. It comprises the set of natural, social and cultural values existing in a place and at a particular time, that influence in the life of the human being and in the generations to come. I.e., it is not only the space in which life develops, but it also includes living beings, objects, water, soil, air and the relations between them as well as intangibles like culture [citation required].5 June world environment day is celebrated. Etymological origin As sustantivo (capas, no se ha comprobado), the word medium comes from the latin medium (neuter gender); as an adjective, from the latin medius (male gender). The ambient word comes from the latin ambiens, ambientis, from the verb ambere, \"\"surround\"\", \"\"being on both sides\"\". The expression might consider environment as pleonasm because the meanings of the two elements of such spellings are coincident with the meaning inherent when van together. However, some meanings of both words separately are different. Allowing your understanding is the context. For example, other metaphorical meanings of the ambient term allude to social sectors, such as popular atmosphere or aristocratic environment; or attitudes, like having good atmosphere with friends."

[ 1] [2]A zero-emissions vehicle, or ZEV, is a vehicle that emits no exhaust gas from the onboard source of power. [ 3] [4] Harmful pollutants to the health and the environment include particulates ( soot ), hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, ozone, lead, and various oxides of nitrogen. Although not considered emission pollutants by the original California Air Resources Board (CARB) or U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) definitions, the most recent common use of the term also includes volatile organic compounds, several air toxics (most notably 1,3-Butadiene ), and global pollutants such as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. [ 5]Examples of zero emission vehicles include muscle-powered vehicles such as bicycles; electric bicycles; gravity racers; battery electric vehicles, which may shift emissions to the location where the electricity is generated (if the electricity comes from coal or natural gas power plants--as opposed to hydro-electric or nuclear power plants); [6] and fuel cell vehicles powered by hydrogen. Emissions from the manufacturing process are thus not included in this definition, and it has been argued that the emissions that are created during manufacture are of an order of magnitude that is comparable to the one of the emissions that are created during a vehicle's operating lifetime. [ 7] [8] However, these vehicles are in the early stages of their development; the manufacturing emissions may decrease by the development of technology, industry, and shifting toward mass production.

S. (only in Los Angeles)Well-to-wheel emissions [ edit]The term zero-emissions or ZEV, as originally coined by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), refers only to motor vehicle emissions from the onboard source of power. Therefore, CARB's definition is accounting only for pollutants emitted at the point of the vehicle operation, and the clean air benefits are usually local because depending on the source of the electricity used to recharge the batteries, air pollutant emissions are shifted to the location of the electricity generation plants. [ 9] In a broader perspective, the electricity used to recharge the batteries must be generated from renewable or clean sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, or nuclear power for ZEVs to have almost none or zero well-to-wheel emissions.

"text": "Fracking by the Numbers Key Impacts of Dirty Drilling at the State and National Level Released by: Environment America Release date: Thursday, October 3, 2013> Read News Release> Download Report (PDF)Over the past decade, the oil and gas industry has fused two technologies—hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling—in a highly polluting effort to unlock oil and gas in underground rock formations across the United States. As fracking expands rapidly across the country, there are a growing number of documented cases of drinking water contamination and illness among nearby residents. Yet it has often been difficult for the public to grasp the scale and scope of these and other fracking threats. Fracking is already underway in 17 states, with more than 80,000 wells drilled or permitted since 2005. Moreover, the oil and gas industry is aggressively seeking to expand fracking to new states—from New York to California to North Carolina—and to areas that provide drinking water to millions of Americans. This report seeks to quantify some of the key impacts of fracking to date—including the production of toxic wastewater, water use, chemicals use, air pollution, land damage and global warming emissions. National Environmental and Public Health Impacts of Fracking Fracking Wells since 2005 82,000Toxic Wastewater Produced in 2012 (billion gallons) 280 Water Used since 2005 (billion gallons) 250 Chemicals Used since 2005 (billion gallons) 2 Air Pollution in One Year (tons) 450,000 Global Warming Pollution since 2005 (million metric tons CO2-equivalent) 100 Land Directly Damaged since 2005 (acres) 360,000Toxic wastewater: Fracking produces enormous volumes of toxic wastewater—often containing cancer-causing and even radioactive material. Once brought to the surface, this toxic waste poses hazards for drinking water, air quality and public safety:• Fracking wells nationwide produced an estimated 280 billion gallons of wastewater in 2012.• This toxic wastewater often contains cancer-causing and even radioactive materials, and has contaminated drinking water sources from Pennsylvania to New Mexico. • Scientists have linked underground injection of wastewater to earthquakes. • In New Mexico alone, waste pits from all oil and gas drilling have contaminated groundwater on more than 400 occasions."

( Morteza Nikoubazl / Reuters)In 2010, some 223,000 people around the world died from lung cancer caused by exposure to air pollution, the World Health Organization (WHO) said yesterday. And more than half of those deaths are believed to have been in China and elsewhere in East Asia. Here are the world’s worst cities for air pollution, according to the WHO. Exposure to air pollution is getting worse in parts of the world, especially industrializing countries, according to the WHO. The WHO’s key announcement yesterday was that it has included outdoor air pollution on its definitive list of the world’s known carcinogens—an addition that, it hopes, will get governments to do something about it. Air pollution is the world’s worst environmental carcinogen and more dangerous than second-hand smoke, for instance, the health body said. As the chart above shows, the cities with the worst air are often not big capitals, but provincial places with heavy industry in them or nearby. Ahwaz, for instance, in southwestern Iran, far outstrips infamously polluted cities like New Delhi or Beijing, with 372 parts per million of particles smaller than 10 micrometers (PM10), compared to the world average of 71. Life expectancy for the city of 1.2 million residents is the lowest in Iran."

"text": "\"POLLUTION LOCATOR |Definitions of Air Pollution Source Categories Sources of air pollution like factories or cars are usually categorized by regulatory agencies into one of three groups: area, mobile, or point. Categorization of a specific source may vary depending on whether it is releasing \"\"criteria\"\" or \"\"hazardous\"\" air pollutants. Criteria pollutants refer to six chemicals which occur frequently in ambient air and can injure human health, harm the environment or cause property damage: carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) refer to other chemicals which can cause adverse effects to human health or the environment. Congress has identifed over 188 of these pollutants, including substances that cause cancer, neurological, respiratory, and reproductive effects. AREA SOURCES Area sources include small pollution sources like dry cleaners, gas stations, and auto body paint shops. Area sources are defined as sources that emit less than 10 tons per year of a criteria or hazardous air pollutant or less than 25 tons per year of a combination of pollutants. The category also includes commercial buildings (heating and cooling units; surface coatings), residential buildings (fire places; surface coatings), fuel combustion in non-road machinery, boats, railroads, and even the family lawnmower or barbecue grill. Waste disposal in the form of open burning, landfills and wastewater treatment are significant area sources. Though emissions from individual area sources are relatively small, collectively their emissions can be of concern - particularly where large numbers of sources are located in heavily populated areas."

Until the global alert, reports referred to an “unknown virus” first striking in Guangdong Province, China, although some reports place the origin in the Philippines. With the March 15 WHO report, the SARS virus became official and reports of new cases came flooding in. By late May, officials had reported over 8,000 cases worldwide, with almost 700 deaths. 1 Of the 65 suspected SARS victims in the US, all but a few had traveled by airplane to areas where the outbreak has been most severe, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Hanoi and Toronto. The Chinese economy has taken a hit and some Chinese airline routes were virtually empty due to SARS fear. 2Serious Drama The SARS outbreak has revived discussion of forced quarantine. According to a study by the American Public Health Laboratory Association and quoted by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, few cities have enough hospital space to quarantine patients in the event of a large-scale outbreak of an infectious disease like SARS."

"text": "We measure natural gas by volume converted to a measure of energy. The metric standard for energy content is joules (J). Relating gas volume consumption to heat and temperature, approximately 4.2 joules is equal to the heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard pressure 101.325 k Pa and standard temperature (15 degrees Celsius). Your bill is based on the amount of energy you use, measured in gigajoules or a billion joules. Fast facts One gigajoule (GJ) equals one billion joules (J). A gigajoule of natural gas is about 25.5 cubic metres at standard conditions. One gigajoule of natural gas is approximately equivalent to 27 litres of fuel oil, 39 litres of propane, 26 litres of gasoline or 277 kilowatt hours of electricity. The energy content of natural gas varies because of minor variations in the amount and types of energy gases (methane, ethane, propane, butane) it contains — the more non-combustible gases in a natural gas, the lower the gigajoule value. The more carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon gas, the higher its gigajoule value. Why does the energy content of natural gas vary?"

The main principle of the FSI engine design is to shoot fuel directly into each cylinder's combustion chamber at much higher pressures: the higher the pressure, the cleaner and more efficient the combustion. This allows for a leaner fuel-air mixture, using less fuel, and the excess air forms an insulating layer in the cylinder to guard against heat energy losses. TSI marries direct injection with both a supercharger and a turbocharger (in the case of the smaller engines) or just a turbocharger (in the case of the larger engines) to further increase the performance of these engines. This means that you enjoy economical fuel consumption without compromising on engine performance. Volkswagen has a range of 1.4 TSI engines (which use one or both types of charging) and a range of 2.0 TSI engines that are turbocharged.

TSI is simply a newer revision of the FSI motor that improves some of the fatal flaws of the FSI motor (reasons why I got rid of my MKV GLI w/ 2.0FSI) I believe you are confusing the TSI moniker with that used on the Twincharger motor simply because it uses the TSI moniker as well. The 1.2 TSI, 1.4 TSI, 1.7 TSI (not released yet) and the 2.0 TSI are different motors. 2.0 R4 16v TFSI 125-210k W This turbocharged EA113 engine is based on the naturally aspirated 110k W 2.0 FSI."

"text": "\"What are the units used for the ideal gas law? Chemistry1 Answer19Ernest Z. Share Nov 19, 2016Answer: The equation for the Ideal Gas Law is: Explanation: P V = n R TOn the whole, this is an easy equation to remember and use. The problems lie almost entirely in the units. SI units Pressure, PPressure is measured in pascals ( Pa) — sometimes expressed as newtons per square metre ( N⋅m -2 ). These mean exactly the same thing. Be careful if you are given pressures in kilopascals ( k Pa ). For example, 150 k Pa = 150 000 Pa. You must make that conversion before you use the ideal gas law. The bar is “almost” an SI unit.1 bar = 100 k Pa = 100 000 Pa Volume, VThis is one place for you to go wrong when you use the Ideal Gas Law. That's because the SI base unit of volume is the cubic metre ( m 3) — not cm 3 or dm 3 or L.1 m 3 = 1000 dm 3 = 1000 L = 10 6 cm 3 = 10 6 m LThus, if you are inserting values of volume into the equation, you first have to convert them into cubic metres. Number of moles, n This is easy, of course — the units are mol."

There's always an exception, though, which brings us to Thanksgiving: This unique American holiday plays by its own rules. There are no good Thanksgiving deals, only better bad deals Thanksgiving (Thursday, Nov. 27) is the most popular flying holiday of the year. Kids come home from college and families flock to Grandma's. It's a short holiday, too - basically a very long weekend - so the airlines have us right where they want us. Don't get discouraged, and you might if you look for good deals. The truth is, there aren't any. What you're looking for are the best of the bad deals. You can't shop too early Shopping early is how to find the best of the bad deals. Normally, shoppers should not purchase tickets earlier than three months before departure, but when it comes to Thanksgiving you can shop virtually year-round."

"text": "\"While looking for the best airline ticket prices, narrow your search down to the mid-week. Airline fares fluctuate so wildly that sometimes, predicting their rise and fall is like forecasting the bounce of a rubber ball. Even the experts can end up stymied, especially when it comes to predicting fares around the holidays. That said, the basic principles of finding cheap travel haven't changed much in recent years. The Cheapest Days to Buy Your Tickets Experts have long said that Tuesday is the cheapest day to buy your airfares; this was confirmed by Preparing for Takeoff, a 2015 whitepaper prepared by Expedia. As long as you're shopping at least three weeks in advance, buying on a Tuesday typically saves you about 5 percent over other days of the week, closely followed by Wednesday and Thursday. Many airlines reinforce this trend by releasing weekly sale fares on Tuesdays. The Cheapest Day to Actually Fly Of course, which day you actually board the plane makes a difference, too. As a general rule for short-haul flights, the same whitepaper states that you can save up to 25 percent if you're willing to leave on a Saturday and return on a Tuesday. For long-haul flights, you'll usually find the cheapest fares – and save up to 20 percent – if you leave on a Thursday and return on a Monday."

This year, my family celebrated Thanksgiving in February. Four of us were flying from New York to Miami, and we tried to be responsible. We checked in on ticket prices as early as summertime—unusually high. We tried again closer to the holiday—no great luck. We found reasonably priced tickets later in the year and decided to “reschedule” Thanksgiving for February. Everything worked out okay in the end, but I wasn’t able to eat turkey with my immediate family. Next time, I’d like to celebrate Thanksgiving on, you know, Thanksgiving. But does that mean I have to buy my tickets a year in advance to get reasonable prices?"

Make shimmery metallic pumpkins by breaking the spray painting rules. Yes, of course you can spray paint real pumpkins. Really? Are there still some of you who dubiously ponder exactly what can be spray painted…? You can spray paint anything that will hold still long enough, (or that you aren’t planning to eat).

"text": "\"Thanksgiving is among the busiest travel times of the year in the U. S. Most people look forward to getaways and get-togethers with family and friends, yet traveling over holiday seasons can be a stressful nuisance. Traveling during these times usually means more expensive airfare, longer lines at the airport and more traffic on the roads. Keeping an eye on the busiest travel days can help you coordinate your itinerary to make traveling easier, less stressful and more affordable so you can enjoy both the holiday and your trip. Christmas and New Year's The Christmas and New Year's holiday season is an extremely busy time to travel -- in 2012, AAA projected that over 93 million people traveled during that time of the year. During this 10- to 17-day holiday period, traveling spikes up by 23 percent compared to the rest of the year. Christmas and New Year's fall on different days of the week each year, but traveling tends to be concentrated around the weekends, regardless. Thanksgiving Thanksgiving week is one of the busiest travel holidays during the year. In 2012, AAA estimated that nearly 44 million people traveled during this long holiday weekend -- 90 percent traveled by car, while the other 10 percent traveled by air, train or bus. Despite what many people believe, Thanksgiving Day is actually a heavier travel day than the Wednesday that precedes it; traveling is also evenly spread out during the six-day holiday span, from the Wednesday before Thanksgiving through the Sunday that follows the holiday. However, airports tend to be more crowded on the Wednesday and Sunday of this holiday weekend."

To judge from the emails I have received and your postings on the Barbecue Board, Thanksgiving is an anxious time for grill jockeys. After all, it’s the one American holiday that’s all about food. Most of us can forgive a soggy stuffing or lumpy mashed potatoes. But serve a dry, tough, or overdone turkey, and your reputation is, excuse the expression, cooked. It’s probably not even your fault. Turkey is a difficult bird to roast properly because of the way it’s built. By the time the internal temperature in the thigh reaches the recommended 180 degrees, or the embedded plastic “pop up” deploys, the delicate white meat of the breast is overcooked. To make matters worse, while you let the bird rest and make the gravy, the internal temperature of the meat continues to rise, finally stalling out at the “sawdust” mark on an instant-read thermometer."

It originated as a harvest festival. Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington. [ 2] It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863, when, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of \"\"Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens,\"\" to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November. [ 3] [4] Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader fall/winter holiday season in the U. S. The event that Americans commonly call the \"\"First Thanksgiving\"\" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. [ 5] This feast lasted three days, and—as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow [6] —it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. [ 7] The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating \"\"thanksgivings\"\"— days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.

"text": "Smart Home Turkey day tips: Here’s how to keep Thanksgiving leftovers edible for longer By Jenny Mc Grath — Posted on November 25, 2016 - 12:01AMBrent Hofacker/Shutterstock Scientists are trying to figure out why vultures don’t get food poisoning. While research is ongoing, one study suggests an alliance between the birds and microbes makes rotting carcasses safe for the birds. Humans have no such advantage, so it’s important for us to keep tabs on spoiling meat and molding baked goods. But one of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the leftovers, so how do you eat plenty of turkey sandwiches without risking foodborne illness? When food is clearly past its prime, the rancid smell or slimy texture can be dead giveaways that leftovers are better left alone. Those icky signals are signs of spoilage bacteria. However, pathogenic bacteria infiltrating the stuffing or mashed potatoes don’t alter the flavor, scent, or appearance of the food, but can still make you sick. Your leftovers are safe in the fridge for three to four days, while frozen food should be consumed within two to four months for best quality, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The biggest mistake turkey-lovers make is keeping leftovers in the fridge for too long. “ Eat them, freeze them, or toss them by Monday,” says Tina Hanes, a technical information specialist with the USDA’s Office of Public Affairs and Consumer Education."

"text": "\"How to Grill a Thanksgiving Turkey Grilling Fire up your grill and get ready for some serious smoke. Joshua Bousel Profile Twitter Facebook Contact17 Printer-Friendly Version [ Photographs: Joshua Bousel ]I spent much of my life wondering what the big deal with Thanksgiving turkey was. A day spent slow roasting a bird in the oven, only to sit down at dinner and be greeted with a meat that was so dry and flavorless, it made me wonder if this celebration of communal harvest was actually some sort of perpetual punishment. I held this notion for a long time, with the joy of Thanksgiving experienced more through the absence of school or work than through food. That all changed when I grilled my first turkey —learning how to rectify each quibble I retained with past birds, culminating in pure poultry enlightenment. The Trials and Tribulations of Supermarket Turkey A bird, is a bird, is a bird, right? When it comes to selecting a turkey for your Thanksgiving meal, that statement couldn't be further from the truth. [ Read more on Natural vs. Kosher vs. Injected Turkeys here] While the refrigerator or freezer cases may be lined with oblong packages with differing logos and sizes, you must read the fine print to really decipher one turkey from the next. In my opinion, what you need is a \"\"natural\"\" bird. This simply means that the turkey has not been pretreated with any chemical preservatives or artificial flavorings or colorings, making it a \"\"blank canvas,\"\" so to speak, for the addition of flavor."

A key document on view in \"\"Religion and the Founding of the American Republic\"\" (see LC Information Bulletin, May 1998), is the letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, which contains the phrase \"\"a wall of separation between church and state.\"\" With the help of the FBI, the draft of the letter, including Jefferson's obliterated words, are now known. Thomas Jefferson's reply on Jan. 1, 1802, to an address from the Danbury (Conn.) Baptist Association, congratulating him upon his election as president, contains a phrase that is as familiar in today's political and judicial circles as the lyrics of a hit tune: \"\"a wall of separation between church and state.\"\" This phrase has become well known because it is considered to explain (many would say, distort) the \"\"religion clause\"\" of the First Amendment to the Constitution: \"\"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion ...,\"\" a clause whose meaning has been the subject of passionate dispute for the past 50 years. During his lifetime, Jefferson could not have predicted that the language in his Danbury Baptist letter would have endured as long as some of his other arresting phrases. The letter was published in a Massachusetts newspaper a month after Jefferson wrote it and then was more or less forgotten for half a century. It was put back into circulation in an edition of Jefferson's writings, published in 1853, and reprinted in 1868 and 1871. The Supreme Court turned the spotlight on the \"\"wall of separation\"\" phrase in 1878 by declaring in Reynolds v. United States \"\"that it may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the [first] amendment. \"\" The high court took the same position in widely publicized decisions in 1947 and 1948, asserting in the latter case, Mc Collum v. Board of Education, that, \"\"in the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between church and state.'\"\""

National News CBS News Published: 11/22/17 07:00 am EST Updated: 12/11/17 07:54 pm ESTA holiday tradition, the 91st annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade will be held the morning of Thanksgiving, Nov. 23. Known for its larger-than-life parade float ideas, the world-famous procession kicks off at 9 a.m. sharp in New York City. Creating a truly fantastic parade float is never cheap or easy, but you won't believe the preparations that go into this annual event. Find out how much each float costs and other expenses associated with this spectacular Thanksgiving Day tradition Total costs for the Macy's parade average between $11.6 million and $13.4 million Annual costs for parade float supplies, float decorations, property taxes and staff salaries total $2.7 million to $4.5 million. The sheer magnitude of the Macy's parade is overwhelming, and so are the assets associated with the event. Macy's also has its own studio space and a massive supply of costumes to prepare for the parade. Those assets are worth $8.9 million. Combine the parade's total annual expenses with its total assets and the price tag reaches $10.4 million to $12.3 million. Giant balloons rack up at least $510,000 in helium costs Inflating balloons that can soar up to five or six stories tall is seriously expensive."

' Lappi' is the Finnish for Lapland. The governmental districts were changed recently and there are now only five major provinces: Etelä-Suomen lääni (southern Finland), Itä-Suomen lääni (eastern Finland) Länsi-Suomen lääni (western Finland), Oulun lääni and Lapin lääni Ahvenanmaa is a group of Swedish speaking islands whose possession was disputed by Finland and Sweden in the 1920s after Finnish independence. Finland recognises Swedish as an official language with Finnish but it is only spoken by about 6% of the population and the Swedish claim that Ahvenanmaa is culturally, historically and linguistically part of Sweden had some basis in fact but Finland would not give it up. The commonwealth of nations judged it to be part of Finland on condition that the area was demilitarised and its cultural and linguistic features were protected. Even today, owning land is almost impossible to anyone born outside Ahvenanmaa, and services available in Finnish are scarce. The people of Ahvenanmaa are exempt from military service and the Finns have no military installations on the islands. There is special legislation concerning Ahvenanmaa and it has a separate parliament with legislative power over the internal matters of the archipelago. History The Finnish language, along with its close neighbours, Lapp, Estonian and Karelian and more distant relatives, Vogul, Ostiak, Permian, Mordvinian and Magyar, is a survivor from the ancient Finno-Ungrian languages which had a possible Asian origin."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search See also: Public relations Investor relations (IR) is a strategic management responsibility that is capable of integrating finance, communication, marketing and securities law compliance to enable the most effective two-way communication between a company, the financial community, and other constituencies, which ultimately contributes to a company's securities achieving fair valuation. ( Adopted by the NIRI Board of Directors, March 2003.) The term describes the department of a company devoted to handling inquiries from shareholders and investors, as well as others who might be interested in a company's stock or financial stability. Typically investor relations is a department or person reporting to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or Treasurer. In some companies, investor relations is managed by the public relations or corporate communications departments, and can also be referred to as \"\"financial public relations\"\" or \"\"financial communications.\"\" Investor relations is considered a specialty of public relations by the U. S. Department of Labor. [ 1]Many larger publicly traded companies now have dedicated IR officers (IROs), who oversee most aspects of shareholder meetings, press conferences, private meetings with investors, (known as \"\"one-on-one\"\" briefings), investor relations sections of company websites, and company annual reports. The investor relations function also often includes the transmission of information relating to intangible values such as the company's policy on corporate governance or corporate social responsibility. Recently, the field has trended toward an increasingly popular movement for \"\"interactive data\"\", and the management of company filings through streaming-data solutions such as XBRL or other forms of electronic disclosure have become prevalent topics of discussion amongst leading IROs worldwide. The investor relations function must be aware of current and upcoming issues that an organization or issuer may face, particularly those that relate to fiduciary duty and organizational impact."

Map of known supervolcanoes around the world: Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) 8Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) 7A supervolcano is a large volcano that has had an eruption of magnitude 8, which is the largest value on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI). This means the volume of deposits for that eruption is greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles). [ 1]Supervolcanoes occur when magma in the mantle rises into the crust but is unable to break through it and pressure builds in a large and growing magma pool until the crust is unable to contain the pressure. This can occur at hotspots (for example, Yellowstone Caldera) or at subduction zones (for example, Toba ). Another setting for the eruption of very large amounts of volcanic material is in large igneous provinces, which can cover huge areas with lava and volcanic ash, causing long-lasting climate change (such as the triggering of a small ice age ), which can threaten species with extinction. The Oruanui eruption of New Zealand's Taupo Volcano (about 26,500 years ago) [2] was the world's most recent super eruption at a VEI-8 eruption.

In 1925, Edwin T. Hodge suggested that a very large volcano, which he named Mount Multnomah, had existed in that region. He believed that several peaks in the Three Sisters area are the remnants of Mount Multnomah after it had been largely destroyed by violent volcanic explosions, similar to Mount Mazama. ["

Abstract A plant biostimulant is any substance or microorganism applied to plants with the aim to enhance nutrition efficiency, abiotic stress tolerance and/or crop quality traits, regardless of its nutrients content. By extension, plant biostimulants also designate commercial products containing mixtures of such substances and/or microorganisms. The definition proposed by this article is supported by arguments related to the scientific knowledge about the nature, modes of action and types of effects of biostimulants on crop and horticultural plants. Furthermore, the proposed definition aims at contributing to the acceptance of biostimulants by future regulations, especially in the EU, drawing the lines between biostimulants and fertilisers, pesticides or biocontrol agents. Many biostimulants improve nutrition and they do so regardless of their nutrients contents. Biofertilisers, which we propose as a subcategory of biostimulants, increase nutrient use efficiency and open new routes of nutrients acquisition by plants. In this sense, microbial biostimulants include mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal fungi, bacterial endosymbionts (like Rhizobium) and Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria. Thus, microorganisms applied to plants can have a dual function of biocontrol agent and of biostimulant, and the claimed agricultural effect will be instrumental in their regulatory categorization. The present review gives an overview of the definition and concept of plant biostimulants, as well as the main categories."

Two explosions were detected on 10 March; one of the events, at 2312, generated ash plumes that rose 1.5 km above the crater rim and ejected material as far as 1.3 km. The Alert Level remained at 3 (on a 5-level scale). Source: Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA)Most Recent Bulletin Report: November 2015 (BGVN 40:11) Cite this Report Explosions continue in 2014, averaging more than one eruption per day Sakurajima volcano at Aira caldera in southernmost Japan has records of historical eruptions back to the 8th century; it was very active in 2012 and 2013, and eruptive activity continued during 2014 with explosions and pyroclastic flows that have been ongoing since 1955. The Showa crater near the summit returned to activity in 2006 and has been the primary active vent since that time. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) provides monthly reports on activity, and the Tokyo VAAC (Volcanic Ash Advisory Center) issued hundreds of reports about ash plumes during 2014. JMA reported that Showa Crater erupted 471 times in 2014 (figure 46). This is less than half of the 1,097 eruptions reported for 2013, and is lower than average compared with the previous five years, but is also consistent with the periodic variation in eruptive frequency observed between 2009 and 2014 (figure 47).

"text": "How do I get paid on Airbnb? It has been a recent trend that Airbnb hosts that aren’t paying attention can end up slow paid over far too long or not even receiving payments. For this reason, it’s important that before even hosting an Airbnb guest, each host should get a bit more familiar with the company’s payment process. Some hosts have been given the payment from Airbnb but when they withdraw the sum it takes too long or sometimes never even shows itself in their Paypal or bank account. No matter the issue we’ve listed, Airbnb still proves to be a viable option for having expendable cash in the bank. Let’s take a look at how to solve these small but annoying issues that can arise. Payfully is a safe and secure way to get paid today for future reservations at your Airbnb or rental property. How Does Airbnb Payment Work? It usually works that 24 hours after the guest checks in, Airbnb will release the payment minus a 3% host service fee. The amount of time it takes for the payment to appear in a bank account will depend on the mode of financial transport and are as follows: ACH / Direct deposit: Up to 3 business days Bank transfer or international wire: 3–7 business days Pay Pal: Within 1 business day Western Union: 1 business day (US Pacific Time)Payoneer Prepaid Debit Card: Within 1 business day If we have set a minimum payout the money won’t be transferred until that preset minimum amount is reached."

You don’t need to create a website, set up a payment system, or pay for marketing. Platforms like Airbnb take care of these things for you. As the barriers to entry have come down, people from all walks of life have transformed their homes, second homes, and real estate investments into rental properties. In 2015, Air DNA identified a total of 550,000 Airbnb listings in the United States that were listed on the site at some point during the year. What is good for property managers and real estate investors also benefits travelers. Consumers now have a broad choice of accommodations. They are no longer limited to pricey hotels or dreary motel rooms. However, this growth in short-term rentals is threatening the established hospitality industry."

"text": "Your Money A Warning for Hosts of Airbnb Travelers Your Money By RON LIEBER NOV. 30, 2012Nigel Warren faced the possibility of over $40,000 in New York City fines for violations from renting his apartment on Airbnb. Todd Heisler/The New York Times Back in September, Nigel Warren rented out his bedroom in the apartment where he lives for $100 a night on Airbnb, the fast-growing Web site for short-term home and apartment stays. His roommate was cool with it, and his guests behaved themselves during their stay in the East Village building where he is a renter. But when he returned from a three-night trip to Colorado, he heard from his landlord. Special enforcement officers from the city showed up while he was gone, and the landlord received five violations for running afoul of rules related to illegal transient hotels. Added together, the potential fines looked as if they could reach over $40,000. Mr. Warren, like many if not most Airbnb users, had not read the terms and conditions on Airbnb’s Web site telling him not to break any laws (while also wiping the company’s hands clean of responsibility for hosts’ compliance with those laws). So he gulped hard, begged his landlord not to evict him and told him that he would attend the mandatory administrative hearing related to the violations and pay any fines. Then, he gulped harder and hired a lawyer for $415 an hour."

One way to save money on your trip this year is to utilize sharing economy services like Airbnb. Despite the fact that Airbnb has become a leading resource for more intimate and affordable travel (not to mention a resource for earning extra income for the hosts), some of us are still hesitant. Here’s what Airbnb newbies should know before taking the plunge. Can I get scammed? What happens if something goes wrong? The short answer is no. All transactions go through Airbnb’s website—never directly from lessee to host (in-person cash swaps are actually 100% forbidden under Airbnb rules). You’ll pick a place you’d like to stay and request a reservation. Once you request a reservation and agree to the house rules, you submit your credit card/Paypal/Google Wallet or other financial information to Airbnb, which Airbnb will then charge."

"text": "Best 8 Sites Like Airbnb to Book Your Vacation Last Updated: March 12, 2018 - 1:30 EDTAirbnb became the most popular online vacation rental site, but does that mean it’s the best? These 8 competitors can offer you features that are an improvement on Airbnb’s service – both for saving money, and for safety. Airbnb.com is one of the major innovators of online vacation property renting, and its strengths lie in its community-based approach. Hosts and renters verify their identity information, tools are provided for guests to contact hosts and other users, and both hosts and guests can rate each other. This makes it tough for scammers to get a foot in the door, or stay for any amount of time if they do. ( You can book this secluded in-town treehouse here on Airbnb)However, the extra security measures on Airbnb can make booking a hassle, and Airbnb doesn’t seem to have strong protections for your payment after you book, so the responsibility is on you to weed out (the rare) dishonest hosts before they make off with your money. So how do you figure out which property rental site is best? The truth is, there is no one “best” property rental site. But there are some great alternatives to Airbnb out there that might better suit your travelling style. For example, if you care about finding the cheapest possible listing, Tripping.com is probably a better option for you."

The same goes for anyone else that offers a service or product on a different sharing economy platform. \"\" We’re going to help the new world of micro-entrepreneurs who sell services online or rent out their homes through the internet,\"\" said Osborne in his annual Budget speech at the House of Commons. \"\" Our tax system should be helping these people so I’m introducing two new tax-free allowances each worth £1,000 a year, for both trading and property income. There will be no forms to fill in, no tax to pay – it’s a tax break for the digital age and at least half a million people will benefit. \"\" Both tax breaks are expected to cost a total of £235 million a year by 2018, according to The Guardian . Osborne announced separate plans in July 2015 to increase tax free earnings to £7,500 for Airbnb hosts who qualify for rent-a-room tax relief. This policy comes into effect next month."

The funding round was led by global growth equity investor General Atlantic, with additional participation from Temasek, Index Ventures and Felicis Ventures. “We are proud to be the preferred partner to work with global businesses, and we are seeing a surge in demand across retail, travel, gaming, advertising, transportation and social media. Adyen has built a 21st century payment platform that is far ahead of the competition. ”Tweet this Adyen’s technology gives businesses the ability to accept almost any type of payment, anywhere in the world, across any payment channel — whether online, on a mobile device or in-store. With global expansion as a key growth driver for companies around the world, the global e-commerce market is expected to grow from $1.5 trillion today to $2.4 trillion in 2018. Yet, historically, most payments have been processed using legacy platforms on dated infrastructure, not optimized for today’s commerce needs. Adyen has designed and built a global, omni-channel (online, mobile and in-store) platform that solves this problem. “In a world where consumers from different regions vary in how they prefer to pay for their goods and services, the leading online merchants depend on Adyen to power global commerce,” said Pieter van der Does, CEO, Adyen. “ We are proud to be the preferred partner to work with global businesses, and we are seeing a surge in demand across retail, travel, gaming, advertising, transportation and social media."

"text": "\"Airbnb Reveals 20% Of SF Listings Are By Hosts Listing Multiple Homes, Vows Crackdownby Jay Barmannin Newson Apr 2, 2016 2:30 pmvia Airbnb Airbnb has issued a mea culpa of sorts today, and a reversal of some of its previous rhetoric surrounding the issue of hosts who illegally use the platform to turn themselves into small-scale hoteliers, and who appear to be renting out multiple complete homes on a short-term basis. For the first time, the company has released what appears to be real data regarding the number of SF hosts renting more than one entire unit or home, in direct violation of the 2014 law that forbids that. According to a statement from the company's PR fixer and head of global public policy, Chris Lehane (once employed by the Clinton White House), \"\"We want to continually evolve the platform so it serves the best interest of each city we’re in. This is a step in that direction, to make sure that each host has only one listing in San Francisco. \"\" Previously, Airbnb had been reluctant to share hard numbers with the city, and refused to share user data on privacy grounds. But now, in an effort to curb backlash and act in good faith, the company appears to be ready to do some policing of its hosts and set this issue to rest — something that will hopefully stem the tide of greed among real estate investors who are taking long-term rentals off the market to turn them into full-time vacation rentals. The new data, taken as a snapshot on March 15 shows: Out of 9,448 active listings in SF, 1,149 of those are managed by hosts with multiple properties on the site. This represents 20 percent of local listings.3,812 of these listings are private rooms or shared spaces. Of the 5,636 entire home listings, 4,487 are shared ostensibly legally by hosts with only one entire home listing — though this does not prove that the listing is also their primary residence. The release also does not detail how many of these homes are shared more than the legal 90 days per year."

What is Passive Income? The common definition of passive income is income that you earn without being actively involved. That typically means that you continue to make income with no or very little effort on your part to maintain that cash flow. For the purpose of this article, we are going to lump passive income and portfolio income into the passive category, and active income into the non-passive category – although the IRS categorizes and treats each type of income differently. You can see why the idea of passive income would be appealing. Typically when someone needs additional income, or you're a college student that needs to make money, they get the stereotypical suggestion to “get a part-time job. ”But what if you don’t have the time or energy to put in all those extra hours?"

Altman for The New York Times If the idea of renting out your home on Airbnb, Home Away or similar vacation rental sites sounds intriguing, but the thought of posting photos, managing bookings and getting your apartment ready seems far too daunting, read on. A fledgling industry has sprung up in the last five years offering to take the work out of short-term rentals, for a fee. Start-ups with names like Guesty, Flatbook, onefinestay and proprly will do everything from greeting guests with the keys to swapping out your cowboy-print polyester sheets for natural linens. Some allow you to book services like cleanings and key exchanges à la carte. Others take the entire rental process out of your hands, dealing with bookings, storing your belongings and cleaning up after the guests go home in exchange for as much as half of your revenue. A few will even dispatch a team of decorators to your apartment. “We make it completely seamless and hassle-free for the owner and the guest as well,” said Evan Frank, a founder of onefinestay, a five-year-old company offering end-to-end rental management for upscale homes in New York, Los Angeles, Paris and London. To ensure you don’t have to lift a finger, onefinestay first photographs and then stores your personal possessions, including the soap in your shower. It replaces your toiletries with its own toiletries."

By Smart Asset.com Smart Asset.com Since it began operating in 2008, Airbnb has shaken up the hospitality industry, and reports are that it could soon be valued at over $20 billion. That’s nearly as much as Marriot International. With that much capital behind the Airbnb platform, it stands to reason that Airbnb hosts are cashing in as well. On the other hand, many of the most popular Airbnb destinations are also among the least affordable cities in the U. S. So how much money is it possible to make by listing a room or full home on Airbnb? Find out now: Is it better to rent or buy? Using data provided by Beyond Pricing, a service that optimizes pricing for short-term rental owners and Airbnb hosts, Smart Asset analyzed the profit potential of rentals in 15 of the largest Airbnb markets in the U. S. First, we calculated expected revenue of private-room Airbnb rentals in each city. 1 We wanted to know if it’s possible to pay the rent on a two bedroom home by listing one of the rooms on Airbnb. Then, we calculated expected net profits (after average rent, utilities and Internet) for full-home rentals in each city. You can read more about our methodology below."

Guess what these two billion-dollar businesses which aren't even competitors have in common? You guessed it -- the sharing economy. In this article we are going to uncover some particularly interesting features of Airbnb’s underlying technologies. But first, I’ll talk a little bit about what Airbnb was like before it conquered the world. How Airbnb got into gear Just like Uber disrupted taxi booking services by making personal drivers available to everyone, Airbnb brought a wind of change to the traditional hospitality market. Who would’ve thought that the age-old hotel industry could be disrupted by such an absurd (let’s be honest) idea? A strange combination of hotel and Couch Surfing called Air Bed & Breakfast, created by Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk, was officially launched in 2008."

Others call it the peer economy. Others, the collaborative economy, or “collaborative consumption.” Still others, the sharing economy. Tom ay to, tom ah to. More important than what it’s called is what it is. As Fast Company contributor Rachael Botsman points out, the sharing economy has long lacked a shared definition, and it’s probably more accurate to break it into several related but distinct realms. These realms form the wireframe of a highly flexible economic network. The network – we’ll call it the sharing economy, for simplicity – allows people to exchange tangible and intangible with one another at scale. These exchange relationships often undercut traditional retail or employment arrangements, generally by reducing transactional friction or looping middlemen out altogether."

If you rent a single room, there is no guarantee regarding how many people might be living in a given home/condo while you are there. If there is a shared bathroom, you might end up sharing it with 1 person, or 20. A “fully stocked kitchen” means very different things to different people.

"text": "Photograph by Justin Sullivan — Getty Images By Jeffrey Pfeffer November 24, 2014Uber is much in the news recently, for mostly the wrong reasons. One of its senior executives threatened to investigate journalists who wrote negative things about the taxi service platform. An Uber passenger was allegedly attacked by a driver. And an Uber-affiliated driver ran over a pedestrian in San Francisco. And the company’s CEO has been accused of fostering a frat boy culture. Without downplaying the seriousness of these events, I believe the fundamental issues posed by Uber have less to do with the company’s specifics and more to do with a business model that works by offloading responsibilities, something that many other platform companies—businesses that make money by making connections rather than providing a real product or service—do as well. I am not sure people fully appreciate the many problems inherent in this type of business. This summer, I used Airbnb to rent a house in Claremont, Calif. The booking fee was $79—more than 10% of the rental cost. Did the house have a king-sized bed, I inquired of the owner? She would put one in time for our rental, she assured me by e-mail."

The term vacation rental is mainly used in the US. In Europe the term villa rental or villa holiday is preferred for rentals of detached houses in warm climates. Other terms used are self-catering rentals, holiday homes, holiday lets (in the United Kingdom), cottage holidays (for rentals of smaller accommodation in rural locations) and gîtes (in rural locations in France ).

I know I’ve written about vacation rentals recently. I don’t want to be redundant, but in the last six weeks I’ve received several letters from readers who have run into difficulties with properties. The most troubling of these involve internet fraud: $3,000 wired to a bank for a Paris apartment (Airbnb); $1,360 wired to a bank for a condo in Florida (Flipkey); $12,000 wired to a bank for a villa near Nice (Home Away); and there was the case I wrote about in September and March —$3,000 wired to a bank for a chalet in the French Alps (Home Away). All of those payments went to someone other than the owner of a vacation rental. Notice any similarity with the transactions? Yes, all wire transfers, which offer little protection, particularly if you have not verified the property with the owner directly. Home Away, which also owns VRBO, recommends you always speak to the owner before you rent:“Call the owner or property manager. The cardinal rule for booking a vacation rental is to always pick up the phone and call the number of the home owner or property manager that is listed on the website. With the prevalence of phishing in online industries today, it is always best to communicate with a person live."

When they say no, you should go ahead and ask to speak with a manager immediately rather than wasting time explaining your circumstance multiple times.

( AP Photo/Oded Balilty)BEN-GURION AIRPORT, Israel (AP) — In an expansive hangar in central Israel, workers toil on one of the world's most contentious aircraft, fitting dozens of drones with advanced sensors, cameras and lasers before they are shipped to militaries worldwide to perform highly sensitive tasks. Whereas drones are often criticized elsewhere for being morally and legally objectionable, in Israel they are a source of pride. Israel — a pioneer of drone technology — has emerged as the world's leading exporter of the aircraft and its accessories, putting it in a strong position as the industry continues to grow A report produced by U. S. consulting firm Frost & Sullivan determined earlier this year that Israel is now the largest exporter of unmanned aerial systems, surmounting aerospace giants in the U. S. The report said that from 2005 to 2012, Israel exported some $4.6 billion worth of systems, including aircraft, payloads, operating systems and command and control caravans. U. S. overseas sales for the same time period were between $2 and $3 billion, the report said. Since Israeli drone makers do not release precise sales figures, the Israeli numbers are estimates based on the number of UAVs sold and the overall value of contracts that were announced during the seven-year period. Industry experts could not confirm the report's numbers, but said Frost & Sullivan is a respected firm and its conclusions reflected Israel's leading spot in the field."

"text": "News Cobham packs a lot in to new hand-held Nano Vue HD receiver Law enforcement, security and broadcast professionals now have a high-quality hand-held device for viewing and sharing tactical HD video from airborne and terrestrial deployed transmitters, thanks to Cobham’s new Nano Vue HD receiver. “The Nano Vue HD is already popular as an on-site tool to test deployed system set-ups,” said Cobham Tactical Communications and Surveillance’s Andrew Tilbury. “ But now it also adds significant capability for users who need to quickly collect and review real time information and share it securely with other team members, or to support creation of an ‘instant’ and secure electronic perimeter. ”“Tactical teams on the ground who previously had to live with aircraft feeds downgraded to 3G carrier quality can now view the HD feed directly from the airborne platform with this new addition to the Cobham receiver family. ”Cobham already has more than 2000 standard definition Nano Vues in service with police forces around the world. But in keeping with the continuing shift to High Definition video, Cobham has updated the unit with a host of new capabilities, including a sharp, high-quality day/night viewing screen, on-board evidential recording and new faster IP connectivity, so video feed can now be securely streamed onward to an operations room or other users. The IP function also gives access to remote users for more complex system set up, or calling forward stored recorded video. Initially adopted by law enforcement agencies and broadcasters, the Nano Vue has quickly become a popular tool for other users such as VIP protection teams, Fire and Rescue and UAV and UGV operators. The Nano Vue HD receiver maintains its predecessor’s key features, such as diversity antennas for improved mobile and NLOS performance, low latency and new additions to the touch screen control technology praised by existing customers. Cobham has retained the previous version’s form and factor so that existing accessories such as the hand-grip battery unit are interchangeable."

"text": "Guidance Classifying aircraft parts for import and export How to classify aircraft parts and accessories when using the Tariff: guidance to using chapter 88 codes. Published 2 August 2012 Last updated 21 March 2017 — see all updates From: HM Revenue & Customs Contents Overview What are considered to be ‘parts of aircraft’ in heading 8803Goods often misclassified as parts End-use relief provisions for civil aircraft parts Further information Overview Aircraft (powered and non-powered), aircraft parts, satellites and launching equipment are covered in chapter 88 of the Integrated Tariff of the United Kingdom (the Tariff). Civil aircraft or parts for use in civil aircraft (where designated) are subject to end use control. The description ‘civil aircraft’ is defined as aircraft other than aircraft used in military or similar services in the EU member states which carry a military or non-civil registration. For all relevant nomenclature descriptions ‘civil aircraft’ is to be taken to include civil ground flying trainers. The subheading 8802 11 00 covers multi-rotor helicopters (so-called ‘drones’ of an unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kilograms) of different sizes which can operate autonomously (to a pre-programmed destination) or are remotely piloted by the user. If they have the character of toys or recreational models, they are classified under heading 9503. See the Explanatory notes to the Combined Nomenclature to that heading. Drones integrated with a camera must be considered under heading 852580. This guide will help you classify aircraft parts and accessories using the Tariff."

Description Virtually all aircraft make use of some hydraulically powered components. In light, general aviation aircraft, this use might be limited to providing pressure to activate the wheel brakes. In larger and more complex aeroplanes, the use of hydraulically powered components is much more common. Depending upon the aircraft concerned, a single hydraulic system, or two or more hydraulic systems working together, might be used to power any or all of the following components:wheel brakesnose wheel steeringlanding gear retraction/extensionflaps and slatsthrust reversersspoilers/speed brakesflight control surfacescargo doors/loading rampswindshield wiperspropeller pitch control A hydraulic system consists of the hydraulic fluid plus three major mechanical components. Those components are the “pressure generator” or hydraulic pump, the hydraulically powered “motor” which powers the component concerned and the system “plumbing” which contains and channels the fluid throughout the aircraft as required. Hydraulic Fluid Fluid is the medium via which a hydraulic system transmits its energy and, theoretically, practically any fluid could be utilized. However, given the operating pressure (3000 to 5000 psi) that most aircraft hydraulic systems generate in combination with the environmental conditions and strict safety criteria under which the system must operate, the hydraulic fluid that is used should have the following properties: High Flash Point. In the event of a hydraulic leak, fluid ignition should not occur at the normal operating temperatures of the surrounding components. Special hydraulic fluids with fire resistant properties have been developed for aviation use."

Turbulence is the most common cause of injury to air passengers Telegraph Travel19 June 2017 • 11:15am T urbulence is the most common cause of injury to air passengers: in the US alone there are an estimated 58 injuries each year due to turbulence, and yesterday (June 18) 26 people were hurt, including four seriously, after turbulence struck a China Eastern flight from Paris to Kunming Changshui International Airport. So is turbulence really something to be afraid of? British Airways captain Steve Allright, and Patrick Smith, a US pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential, a book on air travel, explain. What causes turbulence? Steve Allright: Many different things may cause turbulence, but each and every one of them is known and understood by pilots. Every day I fly, I expect a small amount of turbulence, just as I’d expect the odd bump in the road on the drive to work. Turbulence is uncomfortable but not dangerous. It is part of flying, and is not to be feared. Different aspects of the weather cause different types of turbulence."

Description True full authority digital engine controls have no form of manual override available, placing full authority over the operating parameters of the engine in the hands of the computer. If a total FADEC failure occurs, the engine fails. If the engine is controlled digitally and electronically but allows for manual override, it is considered solely an EEC or ECU. An EEC, though a component of a FADEC, is not by itself FADEC. When standing alone, the EEC makes all of the decisions until the pilot wishes to intervene. FADEC works by receiving multiple input variables of the current flight condition including air density, throttle lever position, engine temperatures, engine pressures, and many other parameters. The inputs are received by the EEC and analyzed up to 70 times per second. Engine operating parameters such as fuel flow, stator vane position, bleed valve position, and others are computed from this data and applied as appropriate. FADEC also controls engine starting and restarting."

Aeronautical engineers work to make sure propulsion systems operate efficiently and that an aircraft's aerodynamic performance is sufficient. Aspiring aeronautical engineers should get their bachelor's degrees in aeronautical or aerospace engineering, though some related majors may be sufficient. Although entry-level aerospace engineers in general do not require a license, higher-level positions may require a PE, or professional engineering license. Educational Requirements In order to become an aeronautical engineer, prospective candidates must complete a bachelor's degree program, usually in aerospace or aeronautical engineering, that has been approved by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Programs can take 4-5 years to complete. Students typically begin their education by enrolling in core courses in mathematics, chemistry and physics. Additionally, most programs require students to complete introductory labs in which they test engineering principles applied to flight and propulsion."

"text": "Light Sport Aircraft entered the world with high–probably absurd–expectations. These lighter weight, lower cost airplanes allow pilots to fly without a medical certificate, and were supposed to introduce a new generation to the glories of personal aviation. Flight schools could finally buy fresh airplanes and new pilots could finally afford to own an airplane, we were told. Cessna’s launch of the model 162 Skycatcher in 2006 seemed to be the tipping point for this movement: if the 70-year old manufacturer thought enough of the LSA market to launch its own design, surely a revolution was afoot. Indeed, the buzz at Oshkosh that year was almost palpable and Cessna took hundreds of orders. Launched with so much promise, the Skycatcher never met expectations. But eight years later the Skycatcher is dead, a minor footnote in the long history of Cessna, and both Cirrus and Piper have abandoned LSA programs. The LSA market as a whole has not reached takeoff speed: between 2009 and 2012, total LSA deliveries averaged just 255 per year. That may not be disastrous, but considering there are nearly 50 companies producing LSAs, it’s not good. For comparison, Cirrus alone delivered 276 of its (vastly more expensive) SR20 and SR22 airplanes last year."

In contrast, a wide-body aircraft is a larger airliner usually configured with multiple aisles and a fuselage diameter of more than 5 metres (16 ft) allowing at least seven-abreast seating and often more travel classes. The highest seating capacity of a narrow-body aircraft is 295 passengers in the Boeing 757 –300, while wide-body aircraft can accommodate between 250 and 600 passengers. Thomas Cook Airlines Boeing 757-300 have 280 seats, [1] the most dense single-aisle layouts.2-abreast aircraft seats typically 4 to 19 passengers, 3-abreast 24 to 45, 4-abreast 44 to 80, 5-abreast 85 to 130, 6-abreast 120 to 230. [ 2] For the flight length, medium-haul aircraft are typically the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, while regional airliners typically cover short haul. Historically, beginning in the late 1960s and continuing through the 1990s, twin engine narrow-body aircraft, such as the Boeing 737 Classic, Mc Donnell-Douglas MD-80 and Airbus A320 were primarily employed in short to medium-haul markets requiring neither the range nor the passenger-carrying capacity of that period's wide-body aircraft. [ 3] [ not in citation given]The re-engined B737 Max and A320neo jets offer 500 miles more range, allowing them to operate the 3,000 miles transatlantic flights between the eastern U. S. and Western Europe, previously dominated by wide-body aircraft. Norwegian Air Shuttle, Jet Blue Airways and TAP Portugal will open up direct routes bypassing airline hubs for lower fares between cheaper, smaller airports. The B737NG 3,300-mile range is insufficient for fully laden operations and operate at reduced capacity like the A318, while the Airbus A321LR could replace the less fuel efficient B757s used since its production end in 2004.

With a bachelor's degree.1 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In the USA a Bachelors degree or higher is required to get a job, but it makes no difference in the pay one receives. 75% of major airline pilots earn less than $140,000 per year. 50% of all major airline pilots earn less than $90,000 per year, and 50% of all regional airline pilots earn less than $45,000 per year. Entry level salaries for the regional airlines are under $25,000. At the majors, entry level salaries are under $35,000. It is rare for a pilot to earn a six-figure salary within the first 10 years of obtaining a commercial pilot certificate. 50% of all commercially rated pilots never make it to a major airline. Bottom line, if you want good odds of earning a decent salary right out of college or within the first 10 years of a flying career, do not become a pilot.

Originally developed by UK manufacturer Hawker Siddeley in the 1960s, the Harrier emerged as the only truly successful V/STOL design of the many attempted during that era, despite being a subsonic aircraft, unlike most of its competitors. It was conceived to operate from improvised bases, such as car parks or forest clearings, without requiring large and vulnerable air bases. Later, the design was adapted for use from aircraft carriers. There are two generations and four main variants of the Harrier family, developed by both UK and US manufacturers: Hawker Siddeley Harrier British Aerospace Sea Harrier Mc Donnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier IIBritish Aerospace Harrier IIThe Hawker Siddeley Harrier is the first generation-version and is also known as the AV-8A Harrier; it was used by multiple air forces, including the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The Sea Harrier is a naval strike/air defence fighter derived from the Hawker Siddeley Harrier; it was operated by both the Royal Navy and the Indian Navy. During the 1980s, a second generation Harrier emerged; manufactured in the United States as the AV-8B and in Britain as the British Aerospace Harrier II respectively. By the start of the 21st century, the majority of the first generation Harriers had been withdrawn, many operators having chosen to procure the second generation as a replacement. In the long term, several operators have announced their intention to supplement or replace their Harrier fleets with the STOVL variant of the F-35 Lightning II, designated as the F-35B.

Someone told me that he prefer to continue postdoctoral fellowship, as he gets the same salary of assistant professorship with less official duties. In my experience, the range of salary for a postdoctoral fellow is much less than an assistant professor, something between $25,000 - $50,000. In Europe, it is in the lower side, but it is usually higher in the US. I am curious to know what is the actual rate, and is there a norm for estimating the salary of a postdoctoral fellow?

"text": "\"Tweet What Does it Mean to Study Aerospace Engineering? The always-evolving field of aerospace engineering is one of the most challenging career paths in the world. Technology is advancing at a rate unparalleled since the Industrial Revolution. Aerospace engineers are at the forefront of that expansion, as they research, design, and develop high-speed transportation vehicles, such as: Aircraft Spacecraft Missiles Space stations Lunar vehicles Aerospace engineering majors learn about the analysis, synthesis, and design of aeronautical and aerospace vehicles. Students can specialize in either aeronautics (aircraft design) or aerospace (spacecraft design) at an undergraduate level. An engineering degree in Aerospace combines the unique tradition of aerospace technology with engineering and management methods from related disciplines. Although very closely related to air transportation and design, aerospace technology is a little more intensive. Some aerospace programs emphasize hands-on training and subsystem design, while others rely more on lectures and fieldwork. Currently in the United States, only a handful of institutions have earned accreditation to offer degrees in aerospace engineering. What Kinds of Courses Do Aerospace Engineers Take?"

If you don’t necessarily have an interest in becoming a pilot, but still want to be in the industry, here’s the good news – there may be a career fit for you as a Flight Engineer. Flight engineers play an integral part in ensuring aircrafts are safe to be used. They uphold the safety regulations of commercial and noncommercial flights by inspecting aircrafts before, during, and after flights. Anyone contemplating a career as a flight engineer should consider: Do you have the keen attention to detail needed to excel in the position? Do you love learning about the physics behind aircrafts? Are you willing to enter a career with irregular schedules and late-night shifts? If the answer is yes to all three, then that person has the right passion and discipline for the Flight Engineer career. Process for Becoming a Flight Engineer All flight engineers are required to have a commercial pilot’s license and a flight engineer certification, which is given out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). To be eligible for the license, candidates need to be 18 years of age, speak English, hold a private pilot certificate, pass the practical test, and log 250 hours of flight time on airplanes and 150 hours on helicopters."
